46: Chapter 47 The Alluring Reflection and Product Testing

Was it because she was beautiful? Yes. Shen Nian's beauty, mature and charming, full of allure, was the type of woman men found hard to resist.

Was it because she was voluptuous and tempting? That too. When that body, full of mature charm, pressed against his, the impact was real and intense.

Was it because she was full of temptation, throwing herself into his arms? Even more so. For such an outstanding woman to cast aside all dignity and pride, to express her love so fervently, and even go so far as to use her body as a weapon—this was a fatal test for any man's vanity and desire for conquest.

So, he had become emotionally moved? Just because of these external, superficial temptations?

This realization caused Yu Bo to feel a bone-chilling coldness and deep self-doubt.

Could it be... that at his core, he was also a fickle man who couldn't withstand temptation? Were his feelings for Yin Tianxue not as unbreakable as he had thought? Was it just that he hadn't encountered a "challenger" of Shen Nian's caliber who was so reckless before?

This thought burrowed into his heart like a venomous snake, bringing a sharp pain and fear.

No, that wasn't it. He loved Yin Tianxue, deeply. That love was not just physical attraction, but a meeting of souls, a firm determination to spend a lifetime together. He had never felt such profound emotion for any other woman.

But... how could he explain his body's reaction tonight? That kiss, so intense it was nearly out of control, the strength with which he had almost kneaded Shen Nian into his own body, the desire that nearly broke through the final line of defense... weren't these proofs of being "moved"?

Yu Bo held his head in pain, burying his face in his knees. Reason and emotion waged a fierce battle in his mind, tearing him apart until he was on the verge of collapse.

On one hand, he hated his loss of control tonight, feeling he had betrayed Yin Tianxue's trust and tainted the pure affection between them. On the other hand, he couldn't deny that under Shen Nian's reckless advances, his physiological instincts as a normal man had indeed been strongly triggered. At that moment, reason had briefly gone offline, and desire had taken the upper hand.

Did this mean he was fickle? Did it mean his love for Yin Tianxue wasn't deep enough?

He didn't know. He had never doubted his own feelings and character as much as he did at this moment.

Perhaps human nature was inherently complex and contradictory. No matter how deep the love, it could still be temporarily blinded by the most primitive desires in certain extreme situations. But this didn't mean the love didn't exist, or that it wasn't deep.

The key lay in what force pulled him back at the very last moment when desire was about to consume his reason.

It was Yin Tianxue.

That name, that face, those gentle words of concern and absolute trust—they were like the sturdiest dam, blocking the final collapse at the very instant he was about to be completely submerged by the torrent of desire.

This showed that the weight of Yin Tianxue in his heart was, after all, heavier than that momentary physiological impulse and vanity. His soul's belonging had never changed.

This realization caused Yu Bo's violently heaving chest to slowly calm down, and his chaotic, painful thoughts gradually became clear.

He had indeed lost control tonight, made a mistake, and almost committed a grave error. But this didn't mean he was a fickle or promiscuous person, nor did it mean his love for Yin Tianxue was false. It only meant he was a mortal, with weaknesses, capable of making mistakes.

What was important was that he had hit the brakes in the end. More importantly, he realized his mistake and felt deep guilt and regret.

...

The next morning, there were faint dark circles under Yu Bo's eyes, but his gaze had returned to its usual calm and sharpness, with only a hint of imperceptible heaviness deep within. He arrived on time at the entrance of the City Association for the Disabled. Zhou Ming, Lin Yuan, and Su Xiaoxiao were already waiting there, all of them spirited and full of anticipation.

"Good morning, Chairman Yu!" Su Xiaoxiao had the sharpest eyes; she was the first to see Yu Bo and immediately waved excitedly, her face filled with undisguised excitement and admiration. Today, she was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, with her hair in a high ponytail, full of youthful vitality.

"Good morning, Chairman Yu." Zhou Ming and Lin Yuan also hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, their attitudes respectful but tinged with nervousness.

"Morning." Yu Bo nodded. His gaze quickly swept over the three of them, and upon confirming that he didn't see Shen Nian, he felt slightly relieved. But immediately, this "relief" gave rise to even deeper vigilance and self-reflection. "Let's begin directly."

"Very well, Chairman Yu, please come this way!" Zhou Ming hurriedly led the way, introducing as they walked, "We have already coordinated with Director Wang of the Association for the Disabled. Today, we have arranged for three experienced visually impaired teachers to test our latest prototype and provide feedback. Additionally, we have set up a simple display and experience area in a small activity room."

The group entered the building of the Association for the Disabled. Director Wang was a capable middle-aged woman who welcomed them warmly. After some pleasantries, they got down to business.

Inside the experience room, three visually impaired individuals—two totally blind and one with low vision—had already been assisted by staff to put on the "Mingtu Technology" smart navigation glasses prototype. The appearance of the glasses was slightly thicker and heavier than ordinary sunglasses, but the design was quite sophisticated and not clumsy.

"Hello, Teacher Li. Now, please try walking around the room and see how it feels?" Zhou Ming personally guided a totally blind Teacher Li, his voice tight with nervousness.

Teacher Li was in his fifties and very kind. He nodded, holding his white cane, but instead of using it to probe the path as usual, he tried to move forward slowly, following the real-time voice prompts transmitted by the glasses through bone conduction headphones.

"No obstacles for three meters ahead... Turn left, there is a table, please be careful... There is a door to the front right, it is recommended to pass on the left..."

The clear electronic voice rang in Teacher Li's ear. At first, his steps were hesitant, but soon, as the prompts were accurate and timely, his pace gradually became steady, and he even tried to walk around a stool placed in the middle of the path.

"Hey, this... this is interesting!" Teacher Li said, an expression of surprise appearing on his face. "It's clear to hear, and it speaks accurately! It's better than just poking around with a stick; I feel a bit more confident."

Another teacher, Teacher Zhang, who had low vision, was testing the object recognition and text reading functions. She held a water cup, and the micro-camera on the front of the glasses captured the image, which the AI quickly identified: "Object detected: Mug, white, contains about one-third liquid, suspected warm water." Then, she picked up a newspaper on the table, pointed the glasses at the headline, and after OCR recognition and voice synthesis, it said: "Headline: New Progress Made in the Construction of Barrier-Free Facilities in the City..."

"This is good! This is good!" Teacher Zhang said excitedly. "My eyes aren't good, and I see things blurrily. Sometimes I can't see labels or newspapers clearly at all. If this could be a bit more accurate and faster, it would be so useful!"

Su Xiaoxiao was quickly recording the feedback and suggestions provided by the teachers on the side, such as the voice prompts needing a more natural tone, the obstacle avoidance reaction needing to be a fraction of a second faster, and the battery life needing improvement. Lin Yuan held a notebook, quickly sketching improvement drafts and recording opinions on industrial design aspects such as wearing comfort and button tactile feel.

Yu Bo did not interrupt much. He stood to the side, carefully observing every subtle expression and action of the three users, listening to their most authentic, even somewhat trivial evaluations. He saw the change on Teacher Li's face as he used the navigation function, from caution to gradual relaxation, and even a hint of novelty and a smile. He saw the gleam in Teacher Zhang's eyes when she "heard" the newspaper content. These details were far more convincing than fancy PPTs and data.

"Chairman Yu, would you like to try it too?" Zhou Ming gathered his courage to invite him.
