Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

"Lucy, just be tough!" Xi Da pouted her lips disdainfully, looking like she didn't believe it.

"Sometimes, I really don't understand what you are thinking." Lucy scratched her hair roughly and gave up trying to understand the strange thoughts of the girl in front of her.

She raised her head and glanced at the clock on the wall, then pointed at the man in front of her who was sleeping like a dead pig, "Don't wait for him to wake up, just carry him back."

"Am I alone?"

"Whoever is the man will carry it!"

"Oh, Lucy, please help me. Can you bear to leave me alone?"

Lucy shook her head helplessly, and Xi Dao supported Yawei on the left and right, and slowly walked out of the coffee shop.

Along the way, Xi Da's mouth kept chattering without any intention of stopping.

"Have patience!" Lucy clenched her fists tightly and said through gritted teeth.

"Hehe, where do you live? Let's see if we go along the way. If not, forget it." Xida smiled and led Lucy to the Sky Hera parked on the roadside.

"Super skyscraper H4."

"What a coincidence, I live in H4 too! Let's go!"

"Alas..." Lucy covered her face and felt a tightness in her chest.

A long sigh slowly dissipated in the drizzle of night sky.

She threw Yahweh in the back seat, closed the car door forcefully, and sat in the driver's seat.

"Are you angry?" Xi Da secretly observed the expression of the woman sitting next to her while fastening her seat belt.

"Can you try a different way next time if you want to make me happy?" Lucy propped her head on her hands and leaned against the car window.

The glass reflected the slight curve of the corner of her mouth.

"Let's talk about it next time..."

January 18, 2074, 8:00

"Ding...ding...ding." The alarm clock performed its duties loyally and punctually.

"Good morning!"

"Xida..."

He slowly opened his eyes, followed the guidance of the morning light, and gently said good morning to the early-rising oriole.

The fine light gently dyes the beautiful girl's hair golden.

"I've been sleeping since last night until now..." Facing the sunshine, she lay on his chest, pouting and wrinkled her nose slightly.

"How did we get back?"

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and tried to get up, but she pushed him back hard.

"Of course I'm driving. Lucy will drive, and I'll be responsible for taking care of you."

"Lucy?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that she happens to live in the same building as us, just upstairs and downstairs."

"What a coincidence..." He smiled, obeyed her wishes, and lay flat on the soft bed.

"Why are you so happy?" She put her hands on the man's shoulders and put her whole body weight on him.

"I want to see you jealous."

What responded to him was Xi Da's disgusted face.

"Get up..." She rolled her eyes and continued, "The commission hasn't progressed yet. Did you forget about catching the thief?"

"Then you can sleep a little longer. I guess you won't want to catch the real culprit."

"Why?"

"Well, it's upstairs." Yahweh pouted at the ceiling.

"Alas...then we can only give up the commission." Xi Da shook his head helplessly.

She was too lazy to do things for the company dog, so she just obeyed her wishes.

"Then sleep a little longer." Xi stretched lazily, sat up from him, quickly threw away the clothes on his body, and got back into the warm bed.

"So...why don't you ask me why?" Yahweh asked with some confusion.

"Because I love you." Xi Da raised her head and kissed his dry lips.

Her silver hair was spread loosely, hiding the surging emotions in her eyes.

"like?"

There seems to be some difference in their understanding of "love".

"What is love to you?"

Yahweh asked with some anxiety.

He rarely has such uncertain emotions, perhaps because he cares too much.

Xi Ta was like a lively little bird, always chirping and circling around him.

The first time he felt afraid was because he was always worried that the bird would fly away quietly one day and fly to a place where he could not even find it.

Even without him, this little bird would raise its proud head high to the dazzling sunshine; it would fly wantonly in the blue sky, stretching its free body; it would turn its back to the moon and lower its head to sort out its messy They would also hide in a small room on a rainy night, huddle up in a ball, and wait quietly for the sun to break through the dark clouds and shine in the sky again.

He couldn't guess her heart, so he became a little worried about gain and loss.

"What is love, Xida?"

He hugged the girl's slender waist tightly and repeated softly.

"Love is the perdition of free will..." She caressed his chest, and the delicate warmth flowed from her fingertips to her heart drop by drop.

“I love you without reservation.

Therefore, I will not interfere with the stories you actively conceal. I will choose to support all your actions unconditionally.

I just want you to give me your full attention when you love me, but I don’t care if you fall in love with someone else..."

"How could I fall in love with anyone else? I only love you."

Yahweh rubbed his eyes and couldn't help but interrupt her unrealistic assumption.

"Idiot..." She sighed softly, rubbing the moisture at the corners of his eyes with her lips that were close to him.

"One day I will grow old and die peacefully in your arms..."

"Without hope, my life would be meaningless."

They had imagined the future together, and the decision he made would not change.

"That's why I called you a fool, Yahweh." Xida smiled softly and hugged his somewhat cold body. "Human beings are so fragile. Our lives are limited, so we always pursue infinite value."

"There will always be a way, trust me, Xi Tao."

"Maybe..." Xida smiled noncommittally, just gently drew circles on his chest, and continued talking.

"Happiness, anger, sadness, fear, love, evil, and desire are the seven human emotions. I can only selfishly let you experience two.

Find someone else for the remaining five emotions." She smiled mischievously and gently kissed the corner of his trembling mouth.

"Despicable, I just want to be your harbor and make your soul peaceful forever; I just want to be cotton wool baked by the warm sun in winter, so that you can feel the comfortable warmth...just like now." Xi Da blinked lightly. She closed her eyes and clung to his body.

"That's not despicable."

"Despicable, selfish, this is my love, Yahweh."

"I still don't understand."

"After I leave, you will go crazy and fall in love with all the girls who have my silhouette... Isn't this despicable?"

"You will not leave me, Sheeda, I promise." Yahweh whispered in her ear.

"Even if I'm selfish, despicable, and unreasonable, will you still love me?" Her trembling hands gently stroked his back, trying to calm her inner uneasiness.

"I love you far more than you think, Xi Da." He grabbed her trembling hand and showed his heart with actions, "I will not forget our agreement."
