Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

2074, January 12, 20:20

"Go home!" Xi Da ran home jumping, opened the door, kicked off her feet, and threw her shoes to the door.

Yahweh bent down and put their shoes back into the plastic shoe cabinet together, shaking his head helplessly.

Xi Da is always like this, emotions come and go quickly.

"I'm going to take a shower..." she shouted, imitating the appearance of a rusty robot and walking towards the bathroom step by step. The way she was playing tricks was so funny and cute.

"I didn't bring any clothes!" Yahweh sat on the sofa in the living room, turned on the heater at home, and shouted in the direction of the bathroom.

"Why don't you help me choose a suit~" The girl with her silver hair disheveled stuck her head out of the shower room and smiled mischievously.

"Oh..." Yahweh responded, stood up, picked out a set of pure white underwear from the closet, and prepared to put it on the sink next to the bathroom.

"Want to come in and wash together?" Xi Ta turned on the hot water and threw the clothes she took off into the dirty clothes basket aside. The rising mist blurred her teasing smile.

"Be careful of catching a cold!" He rolled his eyes, pushed his naughty little head back into the shower, and turned up the heating temperature.

"Prude!" The sound of hot water hitting the floor was mixed with her slight murmur.

Yahweh smiled helplessly, turned around, walked back to the living room, and turned on the radio.

Life always needs a sense of ritual.

Sitting on the sofa listening to the news while waiting for your beloved girl to finish taking a bath will feel like home.

He thought, randomly turning the radio to a certain news channel.

"Good evening, Night City! Yesterday's Dead Man Lottery has been counted from morning until now, and the result is...no results! There are so many unlucky people who can't even find their bodies! Haha! According to the rules, all bets will go to the banker All! Friends who have lost everything, please line up, choose a good time, and come one by one! Your death will also be included in the dead man lottery the next day!"

In Night City, human life is so cheap.

The only people who care about your life and death may be the dog gamblers of Dead Man Lotto and the scavengers who sell human organs.

Yahweh sighed softly. Good people like the Martinez family are only a few in Night City.

He was a little tired of the host's noisy voice, so he reached out and turned the button to change the channel.

"...the Internet Supervisor publicly announced that there have been changes in the blackwall recently..."

"...many unknown outsiders poured into Night City..."

"...hackers...transnational criminals..."

"...Ye's Company...meeting...aims to increase Night City's customs fees and review system..."

"... South Korea's Jang Group has recently been accused of using pregnant women to conduct drug experiments..."

"... Biotechnology held a press conference, claiming to have developed an epoch-making nanorobot... Lifespan defect..."

Yahweh listened to the decreasing sound of water in the bathroom and quietly turned down the volume of the radio.

"Why are you sitting here listening to the news broadcast?" Xi Da sneaked out of the bathroom, hugged the man's neck from behind, and whispered softly into his ear.

"Wouldn't this feel a little like home?" He smiled.

"Well..." Xi Da smiled and kissed him, then gently stepped over the back of the sofa and fell into his arms, "Please pick out my ears~"

"Where's the swab?"

"In the second drawer below."

"You little lazy boy, you didn't even dry your hair..." Yahweh gently scratched the tip of her red nose.

"Hehe..." She smiled stupidly, deliberately pretending not to hear.

"...Arasaka Company has joined forces with multiple companies...to restart the moon travel plan..."

The radio still faithfully plays the news.

"Yahweh... let's go to the moon someday... okay?" Xi Da leaned on Yahweh's arms, listening to the radio and murmuring softly.

"When?" he asked, gently and delicately kissing the girl's delicate ear canal with a cotton swab.

"It's so itchy~" Her ears felt itchy and greasy, and she squinted her eyes comfortably, "I haven't decided on the time yet..."

"Little fool..." Yahweh stood up and took a clean towel from the bathroom, gently wiping her wet silver hair.

"Hug~" She spread her legs and sat in the man's arms. While feeling the gentle caress on her head comfortably, she hugged his waist tightly.

"Little clingy spirit..." He touched her silky silver hair, lowered his head slightly, and blocked her nagging with his lips.

"Night City Mental Health Center! Use true feelings to understand, use understanding to work, use sincerity to make friends, and use love to serve!... Come..."

Turning off the noisy advertisement, Yahweh stood up and walked to the bedroom with the cute girl clinging to him.

"Yahweh..." The words that reached her lips were blocked by his lips before she could spit them out in time.

.

"What's wrong?" Yahweh asked with a chuckle, listening to the heavy breathing of the man in his arms.

"It's okay... Go take a shower quickly..." Xi Da hesitated.

"Okay..." He didn't pursue the question, he just put the girl gently on the bed and turned towards the bathroom.

Xi Da sat on the bed, looking out the window with his head held high.

The heavy rain was torn apart mercilessly by the strong wind.

Its corpses were scattered across the sky and the earth, mixed with howling cries.

On the elevated highway not far away, countless vehicles flashed scarlet light together.

It's like mourning the death of Yu.

Xi Da sighed softly and hid in the bed.

She was afraid of losing him, afraid of a repeat of what happened a few months ago.

She didn't want to wake up, open her sleepy eyes, and suddenly realize that she was the only one left in the whole world.

Yahweh was hiding something from her, and she knew it.

A miracle happens with the wave of his hand. What price does he have to pay?

How does she...

"Xida?" The man's deep voice penetrated into her ears, interrupting her random thoughts.

"Well..." She closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at him, not wanting him to see the mist in her eyes that had not dissipated, so she just responded in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid..." He got into the bed, forcefully broke into her world, and held the thin woman tightly in his arms.

She was addicted to his warm love and took the initiative to tilt her head to look for his lips.

She drank greedily until she was breathless.

"Xida...do you still remember that hook? That promise?" He smiled with a smile on his lips and brushed his fingers over the graceful arc of her back.

"We agreed... we agreed... we agreed to live together, grow together, and realize our dreams together!" Xida smiled, looking at him affectionately, and repeating the promises they had made together.

Illusive, he once ignorantly longed to become a human being.

The physical person has now gradually transformed into a human being.

She shouldn't stay where she is, wallowing in the shadows of the past.

"Xida..." He whispered in her ear.

"What's wrong?" she responded softly.

"...I love you, Xida..." This was the desire he had once been unable to express.

"I love you too, Yahweh."

The strong wind and heavy rain outside the window shouted together, blessing the two people who were kissing.
