Qingyi had originally thought this, but accidents always come so suddenly. A few days later, during an outing on duty, because her power was too low, she was about to enter low-power mode. She then swayed to the vicinity of the video store and was happened to be noticed by Wise.
"Qingyi?" Wise tried to call out to her. The latter didn't open her eyes but responded in a very small voice.
"Low-power mode. To wake, please pat on the shoulder."
"Low-power mode? Did Qingyi forget to charge?" Seeing that Qingyi didn't respond, Wise followed the prompt and gently patted her fair shoulder. Her delicate body trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"A gentleman has a destination... backup power activated, low power warning. Hm? It's Wise. Should I say 'thank goodness,' or... oh well. Please take me to charge immediately, otherwise, it will be a disaster."
Qingyi's expression was complicated. They had just done that thing not long ago, and now she had run into Wise again in a crisis.
"A disaster? What will happen?"
"I will run out of power... shut down non-essential function modules, and finally, I will be forced to shut down." If she were to be forced to shut down, then she would be completely defenseless, which was why Qingyi was so anxious.
Wise, after hearing this, nodded. "I understand. In that case, can Qingyi put her arms around my neck first?"
"Hm? That's no problem. Are you going to... mmmph!" After putting her arms around Wise's neck, Qingyi watched as he picked her up, one arm under her legs and the other supporting her back.
Although being carried like this could save a lot of power consumption, even she felt a bit shy about this posture. "Alright, Wise, hurry up and take me to charge."
As Qingyi urged, she looked around, seemingly afraid of being seen by an acquaintance in this position. But Wise, seeing her rare flustered look, found it amusing. He even had the thought, Should I carry her around the street like this for a bit? After all, she was so small, it took no effort to carry her, and this delicate look was particularly cute.
But this thought only lasted for a moment. Wise then took Qingyi back to the video store. Fortunately, there were no customers in the store at this time. Otherwise, if Wise had carried Qingyi into the room like this, it would definitely have started some unnecessary gossip.
"Eh? Brother! Could it be... because Qingyi wouldn't obey you, you went down the path of crime and knocked her out and tied her up?!" Belle covered her small mouth with her hand, looking astonished. The two sisters behind her huddled together in fear after hearing this.
"Come on, if you three aren't going to help, can you please not fool around?"
"Ehehe~" Belle smiled playfully. After understanding Qingyi's current state, she stopped joking around.
After placing Qingyi on the sofa in the room, Wise began to check her body.
"Wise, although I don't dislike doing this kind of thing with you... please be mindful of the occasion..." Qingyi said weakly. Her system showed that she only had 1% of her power left, but this was not accurate. She didn't know how much longer she could last. But she was certain that it was definitely not enough to last with Wise from beginning to end. She would probably completely shut down midway. Wait, could it be that Wise wants to try it on a defenseless subject?
"That's not it. I'm just trying to find the charging port to help you charge." Wise explained. Speaking of which, he was quite familiar with Qingyi's body. He had seen every part of it, but he just couldn't find the charging port. Could it be that he had to use bio-power generation? For example, using a certain liquid as fuel...
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Take me back to the Public Security Bureau. If I run out of power on the way, Zhu Yuan and the others all know. Just hand me over to them." Qingyi had originally thought that Wise had brought her back to the store to drive her back. But it turned out he wanted to charge her in the store. Did he really think that plugging a plug into a socket could generate electricity?
...
A short while later, at the Sixth Street station.
"Thank you, but please put me down here..." Qingyi, who had been carried all the way here by Wise, was inevitably a little embarrassed. Seeing the number of people around gradually increasing, she really couldn't take it anymore.
"Eh? But ever since we left the video store, Qingyi has been clinging to me so tightly. You're clearly so dependent on me. You don't have to put on a brave face."
Dependent?! That was purely because I didn't want others to recognize me, so I tried to hide my face! Qingyi gritted her teeth. She really suspected that Wise was deliberately teasing her. After all, why did the car at home just so happen to break down today?
Although Wise did indeed have this thought, it was also a fact that the car was temporarily unavailable. Ever since Wise saw Fairy control her liquid metal body to adhere to the HDD, he had the idea of letting her possess his own car. It was currently under experiment and couldn't be interrupted, so they had to take the subway.
Under Qingyi's strong request, and constantly pounding his chest with her fists, Wise still put her down. The two of them then got on the subway. Seeing an empty seat, Qingyi sat down without hesitation. "Sitting down can save about 3 seconds of power."
Wise could clearly feel that Qingyi's power was already close to its limit, because even her language system was already producing electronic sounds. "So if I had just kept carrying you, couldn't you have saved even more power?"
"No need." Qingyi refused Wise's proposal very directly. Although that would indeed save a lot of power, as a senior, she still cared about her pride.
Just then, a frail, white-haired old man got on the subway. "Oh dear... no more seats..."
The old man's worried expression and voice immediately caught Qingyi's attention. "If I stand up again, I'll lose about 8 seconds of power. What should I do?"
Just as Qingyi was struggling, a girl who was fighting for justice suddenly spoke up. "Hey, can't you see the old man on the side? You're not even giving up your seat? Yes, I'm talking to you, the one with the green hair in twin tails!"
"Uh, although you can't tell from her appearance... she... she's actually about to collapse!" Wise tried to explain for Qingyi, but the latter's Jade Doll body looked very healthy. Such an explanation was completely unconvincing.
Helpless, Qingyi chose to stand up and give up her seat. But just as she stood up, the girl who was fighting for justice patted her on the shoulder, and Qingyi directly fell down with the momentum. If Wise hadn't reacted in time and caught her, this would have probably caused quite a commotion.
The girl on the side was so scared she turned pale. She apologized while panicking, not knowing what to do.
