"Go home!" Xita jumped and ran home, opened the door, kicked her feet, and threw her shoes to the door.

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

Xita is always like this, emotions come and go quickly.

"I'm going to take a shower..." she yelled, imitating the appearance of a rusty robot and walking towards the bathroom step by step, with a funny and cute appearance.

"I didn't take the clothes!" Yawei sat on the sofa in the living room, turned on the heating at home, and yelled towards the bathroom.

"Look, help me choose a set~" The girl poked her head out of the shower with her silver hair loose, and smiled mischievously.

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

"Do you want to come in and wash together?" Xita turned on the hot water and threw the clothes she had taken off into the laundry basket aside, the mist that rose up blurred her flirtatious smiling face.

"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 by the way.

"Prudish!" She muttered slightly amidst the sound of hot water falling to the ground.

Yawei smiled helplessly, turned around and 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 the girl you love to finish her bath will feel like home.

He thought, flipping the radio to a news channel at random.

"Good evening, Night City! Yesterday's dead lottery has been counted since morning, and the result is...no result! There are too many unlucky people who can't even find their bodies! Haha! According to the rules, all bets 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's lottery the next day!"

Life is cheap in Night City.

The only ones who care about your life and death may be dead lottery betting dogs and scavengers who sell human organs.

Yawei sighed softly, good people like the Martinez family are few in Night City after all.

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

"...The network supervisor publicly announced that there has been a change in the black wall recently..."

"...Many unidentified outsiders flooded into Night City..."

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

"...Ye's Company...the meeting...aims to increase the entry fee and review system of Night City..."

"...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 nano-robot...life defects..."

Yawei listened attentively to the fading sound of water in the bathroom, and quietly lowered the volume of the radio.

"Why are you sitting here listening to the news broadcast?" Xita sneaked out of the bathroom, put her arms around the man's neck from behind, and whispered in his ear.

"Won't this feel a little bit at home?" He smiled.

"Hmm..." Xi Tan smiled and kissed him, then gently stepped over the back of the sofa and fell into his embrace, "Pick your ears for me~"

"Where are the swabs?"

"In the second drawer below."

"Little slob, you don't even dry your hair..." Yawei lightly scratched the tip of her rosy nose.

"Hey..." She smiled foolishly, deliberately pretending not to hear.

"...Arasaka Corporation and several companies...restart the lunar travel plan..."

The radio still played the news faithfully.

"Yawei... one day we will travel to the moon... okay?" Xita leaned on Yawei's arms, listening to the radio, whispering softly.

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

"It's so itchy~" Her ears were itchy, she squinted her eyes comfortably, "I haven't figured out the time yet..."

"Little idiot..." Yawei got up and took a clean towel from the bathroom, and gently wiped her wet silver hair.

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

"Little sticky..." He touched her soft silver hair, lowered his head slightly, and blocked her nagging with his lips.

"Night City Mental Health Center! Comprehend with true feelings, work with understanding, make friends with sincerity, and serve with love!...Come on..."

After turning off the noisy advertisements, Yawei stood up and walked towards the bedroom with the cute girl stuck to his body.

"Yahweh..." Before she could get out the words, she was blocked by his lips again.
.
"What's the matter?" Yawei asked with a light smile when he heard the heavy panting of the man in his arms.

"It's okay...you hurry up and take a shower..." Xi Tan hesitated to speak.

"Okay..." He didn't ask further, just put the girl gently on the bed, turned and walked to the bathroom.

Xi Tan sat on the bed, looked out the window with his head raised.

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

Its corpse was flying in all directions between the sky and the earth, mixed with whistling wailing.

On the elevated road not far away, countless traffic streams shone with a scarlet light.

It's like mourning Yu's death.

Xi Tan sighed softly and hid in the bed.

She was terrified of losing him, of what had happened months before would be repeated.

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

She knew that Yawei had something to hide from her.

There is a miracle in a wave of hands, what price will he have to pay?
how she...

"Xi Tan?" The man's deep voice penetrated into her ears, interrupting her wild thoughts.

"Hmm..." She closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look at him, not wanting him to see the lingering mist in her eyes, so she responded in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid..." He got under the bed, broke into her world forcefully, and hugged the thin and frail her tightly into his arms.

Indulging in his warm love, she actively moved her head to seek his lips.

She sucked it greedily until she couldn't breathe.

"Xi Tan... Do you still remember that pull hook? That promise?" He smiled at the corner of his mouth, brushing the graceful arc of her back with his fingers.

"Promise...we promise...promise to live together, grow together, and realize dreams together!" Xi Tan smiled, looked at him affectionately, and recounted the promises he had made together.

The illusory he once ignorantly longed to become a human being.

The physical him has now gradually become a human being.

Nor should she stay where she is, wallowing in the shadows of the past.

"Hey..." he whispered in her ear.

"What's wrong?" she responded softly.

"...I love you, Xita..." This was his unspoken longing.

"I love you too, Yahweh."

The wind and rain outside the window shouted together, offering blessings to the two who were kissing.
