Evolution

Hours passed and yet Iris continued to battle the unknown hacker. She barely moved from her reclining position on the ergonomic chair. Her hands and eyes were the only parts of her body that were visibly moving.

Jin Liwei had to take a closer look at the up and down movements of her chest and shoulders just to make sure that she was still breathing. It was a little disconcerting to watch her so still…and so cold and emotionless. It didn't feel like she was human anymore but a robot instead.

He was reminded of the time when the two of them were just getting to know each other. She often demonstrated this kind of cold and detached personality back then. But even so, her natural gentleness, innocence and curiosity would still surface. He had witnessed her gradually opening up and becoming more expressive as their relationship progressed. It gave him a great sense of satisfaction, as he believed that it was a result of her falling in love with him.
