A young couple struggled to push their way through the crowd.
"Peach, let's watch from here," said a young man, tugged by his friend, nearly losing his shoe as he stepped back. He lowered his head slightly, speaking softly in response to the teasing glances from others.
The girl named Peach was about five feet tall, just reaching her boyfriend's chest. She had a few small freckles on her face, which only added to her charm rather than detracting from it. Her cheeks were flushed with excitement, completely oblivious to the curious looks directed at them as a couple.
"That's not okay; let's go say hi to Patriot One. I want to take a picture with it!" she exclaimed, eagerly pulling her boyfriend along.
"Buzz buzz buzz~"
The red light on Patriot One's chest lit up! It suddenly raised one arm in a gesture that signaled to keep away: "Greetings, madam. Patriot One is currently engaged in a rescue mission. Please do not approach!"
Peach: "..."
The girl's expression froze for a moment as she waved her hand awkwardly and forced a smile, saying, "I just wanted to take a picture with you~" Her heart raced intensely; she had never felt this nervous even when being close to her boyfriend.
"To reiterate, Patriot One is executing a rescue mission. If you insist on approaching, Patriot One will be compelled to deploy its weapons!"
"I... I really just wanted to take a picture with you," the girl said nervously, trembling.
"Target locked, preparing to fire weapons!"
Peach exclaimed, "!!!"
Waaahhh... What on earth is this robot? It has such an Ironclad Straight Man vibe from head to toe!
The crowd burst into laughter.
The girl named Peach felt embarrassed and buried her head in her boyfriend's arms, gently pounding her small fists against his solid chest.
Her boyfriend scratched his head shyly and then gently patted her back with his right hand, softly reassuring her, "It's okay, Patriot One is a robot without warmth; I'm much more reliable."
"Reliable, yes, but not very enduring."
The young man exclaimed, "!!"
What nonsense!
Once Patriot One detected that the girl had given up on taking the photo and her emotions had stabilized, it retracted its weapons with a mechanical sound and stood there like a javelin.
The bystanders, having witnessed the incident with the freckled girl, did not rush forward again. Instead, they watched from a distance, taking photos and videos of the Patriot One Robot while pointing and discussing among themselves.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
About five minutes later, a police car arrived and took Patriot One away. The congested road slowly began to return to normal order.
However, what the common people witnessed today has given them plenty of topics to discuss over tea and meals.
At the Chaoyang Police Station, Grandma Qi was pacing back and forth at home, considering how to explain things to her son and daughter-in-law when she received a call from the police station, informing her that her child had been found.
"Really?"
"The child has really been found?!
"Thank you, thank you so much, and thank you to Patriot One!!"
After receiving this news, Grandma Qi rushed to the police station in a frenzy. Although her mind was filled with various chaotic thoughts, the moment she saw her child, a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.
"Grandma Qi, you must be more careful when taking care of the child in the future; you can never be too cautious!"
The police officers were well aware that even in this country, known for having the best public safety and social stability in the world, there are still criminal acts. Once vigilance is relaxed, it becomes easy for criminals to take advantage of the situation.
Grandma Qi cried until her voice was hoarse and could hardly speak. Holding her recovered grandson tightly, she repeatedly nodded and bowed in gratitude.
