Chapter 45

No one expected 'Little Blue' to become so popular so quickly, and the uploader, Hao Meng, didn't expect it either. In just a short day, the Blue Charm AI was exposed by numerous netizens, a phenomenon that could be called miraculous. The download and installation rates skyrocketed, even boosting the traffic of mobile app websites several times over.

"Hey, I'm Little Blue, do you like me?"

One sentence made Little Blue a sensation, and this trend continued to spread and ferment. It wouldn't be long before internet users in China, and even all smartphone users, would know of its existence.

"Sister Shufen, from now on, we'll keep this laptop for our own use and won't sell it anymore!" Hao Meng reminded Wei Shufen, because the laptop contained the mother program of the Blue Charm AI system and couldn't be sold to others.

"This expensive thing, why keep it? If someone wants to buy it, we should sell it!" Wei Shufen thought Hao Meng was keeping it for Guo Guo to play with.

"I won't sell it, I'll keep it for myself. If I sell it, I'll have to buy a new one later!"

Seeing that Hao Meng's tone wasn't joking, Wei Shufen didn't say anything more. A laptop worth over 20,000 yuan wasn't something that could be sold easily.

After uploading 'Little Blue' to the internet, Hao Meng didn't manage it much. He let it spread freely, as it was just a trial version. He could delete it later without affecting future commercial development. As for the tech companies that wanted to acquire 'Little Blue,' he ignored them. Selling it was definitely out of the question, and while collaboration could be discussed, it certainly wasn't now!

"I want to travel to Sichuan Province during the summer vacation. Are you coming?" Xu Meng called and asked Hao Meng.

Travel to Sichuan Province? Hao Meng was taken aback, then he thought for a moment and asked with a grin, "Just the two of us?"

Xu Meng said with a coquettish smile, "Of course, who else would you want to bring?"

"Are you sure it's just the two of us?" Hao Meng was a bit uneasy and asked again, unsure of Xu Meng's intentions.

"You're so fussy, like a woman. You're not manly at all. One word, are you coming or not? If you don't want to come, I'll go by myself!" Xu Meng's voice changed, and she sounded angry.

Hao Meng said with a bitter smile, "Xu Beauty, Miss Xu, Grandma Xu, if you said you want to go to Sichuan Province today, let's go now?"

"Let's go now!" Xu Meng said firmly, then added, "If you don't want to go, that's fine. But during this trip, I'll find a man who looks decent and give him my most precious thing. You know my personality, I always do what I say!"

Hao Meng almost cursed. Wasn't she putting him in a bind!

"Grandma Xu, can we not play this game?" Hao Meng said with a bitter face.

Xu Meng laughed instead, saying coquettishly, "I like playing this way. If you have the guts, you can stop me! Hehe, I like seeing you annoyed but unable to do anything about it. Alright, to the point, this trip will take about seven days, not too long. We'll go by ourselves, and I'll cover all the expenses, so you don't have to worry about money. You have two hours to prepare. If you're late, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

With that, she hung up the phone cheerfully.

Hao Meng held his phone, leaned back on the sofa, and after a while, sat up, rubbing his forehead, feeling worried. Not going was definitely not an option. What kind of person was Miss Xu? If she said something, she would do it. Even if it was a joke, Hao Meng didn't dare to take the risk. What if something really happened!

A week wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. First, there was the store. With Wei Shufen and her daughter there, Hao Meng was a bit uneasy, not about the property but about their safety.

"Sister Shufen, I'll be out for a few days. If it's not convenient, let Chang Mei stay with you for a few days. It's better to have someone around for support," Hao Meng patted Wei Shufen, who was bent over mopping the floor, and said.

Wei Shufen was taken aback, straightened up, and opened her mouth but didn't speak immediately. After a pause, she said, "Be careful out there, and take good care of your money and belongings." She wanted to ask where Hao Meng was going but didn't, fearing he would find it annoying.

"Okay!" Hao Meng nodded, went upstairs, and packed a backpack with some daily necessities and changed into a new outfit. After all, he was going on a trip with a beautiful woman, so he couldn't look like a slob. He had to consider not only his own image but also the feelings of the beautiful woman.

He had just returned two days ago and was going on a trip today. He really didn't know what Xu Beauty was thinking.

"Is that all you're bringing?" Wei Shufen followed him upstairs, a bit uneasy, and asked softly.

"That's enough. Actually, I don't need to bring anything!" Hao Meng smiled, hugged her, and kissed her, saying, "If anything happens, call me. The air conditioners and refrigerators are sold, so let them find their own installers and transport. We won't deliver them for now. Take good care of Guo Guo. I'll be back soon."

Wei Shufen blushed and nodded, feeling very happy. Although this man was much younger than her, he was real, could speak, and cared for her. What more could she want!

After settling things with Wei Shufen, Hao Meng called Bai Lan, telling her he would be out for a few days and to contact him if there were any emergencies.

Before leaving, he thought for a moment and decided to bring the Sony DV from the store. Since they were going on a trip, it might come in handy.

Two hours later, Xu Meng's call came right on time.

"Handsome, are you ready? I'm all set, we can leave anytime!"

Hao Meng rolled his eyes, as if it was her idea to go on a trip, not his. But he didn't dare to complain to Miss Xu, so he smiled and said, "Alright, I'll take a taxi to pick you up now?"

"No need, let's meet at the train station. I'll be there soon!" Xu Meng paused for a second and said with a coquettish smile.

Hao Meng had no objections, hung up the phone, and shrugged. A summer vacation wasn't long, at most two months. They hadn't seen each other for a year, so he had to endure everything!

Xu Meng arrived at the train station at about the same time as Hao Meng, with only a five-minute gap. In a short denim skirt, white T-shirt, sneakers, baseball cap, and large sunglasses, she looked so youthful and beautiful that Hao Meng almost stared.

"Hey, snap out of it!" Xu Meng laughed and nudged Hao Meng.

Hao Meng smacked his lips, pretending to wake up, and praised, "Wow, so beautiful, too gorgeous, I'm speechless!"

Xu Meng gave him a flirtatious look, hugged his arm, and leaned in, whispering, "Then marry me, and I'll show you every day, even without clothes!"

Hao Meng dryly laughed twice and didn't dare to respond.

Xu Meng gave him a sly look, reached around his waist, and pinched him hard, then pulled him into the train station to buy tickets!
