Chapter 460 Will Robots Miss Little Fish? (Part 37)
After listening to the little girl's answer, Mr. Zhong squinted and looked the child up and down, who had skipped school for two consecutive weekdays to play: "Where are your parents? Why did they let you come out to play alone?"
“My family is watching me with a drone,” K011 said, pointing to the drone that was following behind her.
Mr. Zhong finally realized where the sudden noise came from—it was brought by the child.
Mr. Zhong fell silent for a moment, wondering what he should say.
If the child's parents are really carefree, they also released a drone to closely follow the child.
If you say these parents care a lot about their child, then it's not entirely fair to say they don't send her to school and let her wander around outside. Even though she's a child prodigy, don't they consider the potential social challenges?
K011 had no idea what Mr. Zhong was thinking at that moment, so he continued, "May I ask what Mr. Zhong and Ms. Chen Qing are doing here?"
“We’re looking at this magnolia tree,” Chen Qing said first.
Mr. Zhong glanced at Chen Qing with slight dissatisfaction, seemingly unhappy that Chen Qing had answered the girl's question for him—he had originally thought that as long as he and Chen Qing ignored the girl, she would soon leave on her own.
However, Chen Qing pretended not to see Mr. Zhong's gaze. Seeing that the little girl was showing signs of wanting to talk to the two of them, she tried everything she could to get the little girl to stay and talk to them.
K011 has the idea of observing humans, and Mr. Zhong and Chen Qing, whom he has met before, are undoubtedly the best candidates.
Mr. Zhong had no desire to speak, so K011 started talking to Chen Qing instead.
K011 and Chen Qing went from initial pleasantries to professional conversation.
K011 asked, "Ms. Chen, why did you choose to work as a caregiver?"
"At first, it was to complete a social practice assignment, but later I felt that it was quite meaningful," Chen Qing replied, feeling that the little girl's question in front of her was a bit strange.
Finally, Chen Qing realized something was off—this young girl was asking questions like a reporter was asking people, like a TV station randomly asking passersby.
At first, Chen Qing thought that the little girl in front of her had such a language habit because she had little contact with people her own age, so she said to the little girl, "You can just call me Sister Chen. And where did you learn this way of speaking?"
"Yeah, I saw it on TV." K011 blinked and gave a seemingly reasonable answer.
"I saw it on TV, no wonder," Chen Qing said thoughtfully.
“So,” Mr. Zhong suddenly asked, “don’t your family care about you?”
“Well, my family is quite busy with work,” K011 blinked as she answered Mr. Zhong’s question, “so they allow me to go out and play with the locator on while they’re at work, under the monitoring of the drone.”
"Oh, is that so? Why not continue studying at school?" Chen Qing couldn't help but ask. She thought that even if the child was a prodigy, most parents would keep the child in school, right?
"Yeah, because I don't want to go to school." K011 also sat on the stone steps by the flower bed and answered Chen Qing's question.
"Why don't you want to go to school?" Mr. Zhong couldn't help but ask.
“Because I feel like everyone at school is so boring,” K011 replied. “I can’t talk to them.”
