Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

There was a little drizzle outside the window.

The twinkling stars and lights in the night were captured and wrapped drop by drop by the rain, turning into a blur of psychedelic colors.

The black smoke scrambled to escape, trying in vain to avoid the fierce sound waves behind it.

"boom!"

The heavily armed steel giant was flashing with a dangerous red light. As soon as it struggled to emerge from the black mist, it was torn to pieces by the huge shock wave that followed.

"Ah! I'm dead!"

Xi Da stared at the computer screen that had turned gray, shouting in annoyance, kicking her legs randomly in the innocent air that still had some pear sweetness left.

"Be careful, don't get cramps in your legs." Yahweh sat next to Heda, stretched out his hands and hugged her flailing calves tightly.

"Do you want to play?" Xi Da placed her feet on his solid abdomen, rubbed her sore neck, and pointed her chin at the flickering computer screen.

"I don't like playing games..." Yawei shook his head, grabbed the trembling little feet, and massaged her in a slow and gentle manner according to the techniques he found on the Internet.

"Hiss..." Xi Da gritted his teeth, trying not to scream in pain and pleasure.

The room suddenly became quiet, and the patter of rain outside the window became clearly audible.

"It's raining outside again..." Xi Ta turned his head and glanced out the blurry window, sighing softly.

"Do you like rainy days?"

"...I don't really like it." Xi Da's beautiful eyebrows twitched from time to time, and Xi Da answered dully, enduring the pain.

"Why?" Yahweh asked softly, gently putting his fair and tender feet back into the pink cotton slippers.

"The weather itself is not good or bad... I just... don't like the rainy days in Night City."

After gently moving her aching feet, Xi Da stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the sky and earth connected by the rain.

"Have you ever thought about leaving Night City and settling down somewhere?" Yahweh walked to the bathroom, gently turned on the faucet, and washed his hands carefully.

"Not yet...ah! Why are you washing so carefully! Are my feet dirty?!"

Xi Tao shook his head, and just as he was about to think seriously, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of her boyfriend washing his hands carefully.

She wrinkled her nose in annoyance, strode up to Yahweh with a smirk on his face, and kicked him lightly with the toe of her plush shoe.

"It's not dirty, it's not dirty..." Yahweh used his clean hands to grab Xida's increasingly rounded face and kneaded it gently a few times.

Soft and tender, it felt like fresh jelly that he couldn't put down.

"Well……"

Caught by his mischievous hands, her whole body seemed to melt and lose its strength.

The red color gradually spread over her fair cheeks. Xida frowned and bit his naughty hand gently, leaving a shallow mark.

"Stop making trouble! Otherwise you can sleep on the sofa tonight!" Xi Ta shouted pretending to be angry. He was obviously angry, but he couldn't hide the happy smile in his tone.

"good……"

Yahweh did not point out his girlfriend's inconsistency. After pretending to be obedient, he nodded and pulled her into his arms.

Xi Da closed her eyes and leaned all her heart into the warm embrace.

"I... haven't thought about it yet..." she said softly, continuing the topic where she just left off.

The small town by the sea and the warm sunshine are just illusions after all.

As long as the person she loves the most is always by her side, it doesn't matter to her whether it's in heaven or hell.

"Laura, do you like rainy days?"

It's still the same familiar restaurant, but there's no longer that heart-to-heart feeling.

"ah?"

It wasn't until An Xianyuan called out for the second time that Laura came back to her senses.

"Do you like rainy days?" An Xianyuan held her head and asked patiently for the third time.

"I like it..." Laura took a sip of the hot chicken soup and said softly.

"Why?" An Xianyuan raised her eyebrows, a little surprised at the girl's unthinking answer.

"Because it rained the day I met my sister."

"So... do you like it?"

The tip of her nose suddenly felt sore. An Xianyuan wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, but her voice couldn't help but become trembling.

"Well, I fell in love with it because of my sister." Laura had just finished the last mouthful of chicken soup at the bottom of the bowl. When she raised her head, she saw An Xianyuan wiping the corners of her eyes.

"Sister? Do your eyes hurt?" She asked worriedly, and with her short legs, she sat next to An Xianyuan.

"No...it's just a little itchy." An Xianyuan calmed down, rubbed the little girl's head, and replied with a chuckle.

"Oh." Laura nodded obediently, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the gentle feeling of the warm hands caressing her head back and forth.

"It's getting cold, let's go home."

"Okay..." Laura opened her eyes again, but she was still a little reluctant to let go of the warm feeling just now.

"Do you like having your head touched?"

"I like my sister."

"You won't get any candy if you please me."

"I like my sister more than candy."

"Um."

An Xianyuan smiled silently, hugged the little person tightly in her arms, and let the two beating hearts slowly get closer together.

"It's okay now... I'm sorry, I was too urgent just now, so I knocked you down subconsciously." V ​​pulled Jill up from the ground and dusted her off apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay. Let's go back and take a shower." Jill also knew V's kindness and didn't pay attention to the smallest things.

"This must be the first time you've faced something like this, right?" V chuckled and glanced at Misty and Jack who were also safe outside the bar.

"Fortunately, this house is surprisingly reliable..." When talking about this, Jill was still a little frightened.

An explosion occurred right next to this small bar.

"By the way...what happened?"

"It should be cyberpsychosis... The Terrorist Mobile Team was a bit heavy-handed today." V ​​clicked on the news and took a look, saying with a wry smile.

They were just fish in a pond unlucky enough to be caught in a hunt.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

"Do you need me to take you home? It feels like the streets are not quite peaceful right now."

"Thank you so much." Jill breathed a sigh of relief, letting her walk home alone at this time, she really couldn't move.

"It's okay. I'll go talk to my friend later." V gently patted Jill's slender shoulder and gently rolled out from the bar.

"Misty, Jack, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, V."

"I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy." Jack rubbed his head. He had just drank a whole bottle of the strongest wine in the store and was still a little dazed.

"As long as it's okay, I'll take Miss Gill home. You should also pay attention to your safety."

"See you tomorrow, V."

"Come out for a drink next time, V!"

Misty and Jack said goodbye to V together, and watched as she helped the bartender, whose legs were weak, out of the small bar.

"This happened today. I got off work early. I wonder if my boss will deduct my salary..." Jill rubbed her head and said to herself in distress.
