Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 56 People

"Wow... come alive."

Evelyn put her head in the bowl and gulped down the hot chicken soup. The delicious taste climbed all the way to her heart along the tip of her tongue, and a warmth spread out, spreading to her limbs bit by bit. .

"Drink it slowly...it's not too hot, you..."

Judy supported her head, while slowly tasting the delicious food she had learned so hard, while joking about Evelyn's way of chewing and swallowing like a starving ghost.

"Because it's really delicious..."

Evelyn smiled and rolled her eyes, not even letting go of the last drop of chicken soup at the bottom of the bowl.

"How about staying with me from now on? Your house is expensive and small..."

"Judy...you agreed back then not to interfere in each other's lives?"

Evelyn wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, frowned, and pretended to be displeased.

"I'm back on my word now! Look at you, you're hurt all over, anyway, you have to live with me, and I'll return your house later!"

Judy said viciously to Evelyn while cleaning up the dishes.

Judy has changed and is less foolable than before.

Thinking about the unexplained change of her closest friend, Evelyn sighed softly.

"talk later……"

Perhaps there are other solutions, which can directly reject Judy's request.

But Evelyn had to admit that facing her closest person in the world, her heart softened.

"Hmph..." Judy smiled, threw all the dirty dishes and chopsticks into the sink, cleaned her hands, and happily dragged Evelyn into the bedroom.

"Judy..."

"what happened?"

"No, it's okay..." Evelyn shook her head lightly, took off the old clothes that Judy lent her one by one, folded them and put them aside.

Before the cold air invaded her skin, Evelyn pulled back the quilt and got in.

Tiny dust rode the flying quilt horns and flew into the sky.

By the time it fell back to the ground, the bedroom was already pleasantly warm and quiet.

"I've forgotten when was the last time I slept with someone else consciously."

Taking advantage of the tranquility, Evelyn turned sideways to the window, voicing her reluctance to confide in the lonely night.

"It's all with me anyway, isn't it?"

In the silent darkness, someone answered softly.

"Why are you still not sleeping?"

The heart was beating extremely fast, and the loud beating sound was like the roar of a drum in this quiet night.The resonance of the sound waves extended to the throat, making Evelyn's voice tremble a little.

"If you don't sleep well, how can I sleep peacefully?"

Evelyn turned around in silence, and cast her eyes on the sleeping person next to her.

She took a breath, calming down.

"Then you have to wait until dawn."

"So... go to sleep!" Judy said in a low voice with half-closed eyes.

"hug me."

"Ok?"

"hug me."

"it is good……"

Judy opened her eyes, and hugged this familiar but unfamiliar friend tightly in her arms.

She had never seen such a fragile Evelyn Parker.

She no longer looks down on Fengyue with her young body.

No longer smiling sweetly and shuttling through the world of mortals without touching a single leaf.

She just took the initiative to peel off the thick armor that protects herself, revealing the little tenderness inside.

Like a piece of cracked jade, it is so fragile that it hurts the heart.

"Xiao Ai..."

Staring at the strange woman in front of her, Judy fixed her eyes tightly, as if she wanted to imprint this kind of Evelyn in her heart forever.

"You still have me here... okay?" Judy held Evelyn's cold hands and placed them on her warm heart.

"Did you feel it?" Judy continued, her gaze actively sinking into Evelyn's blue lake.

"Feel the beating melody, Xiao Ai, it's playing for you." She said softly.

The bedroom returned to the control of the quiet night, and the two girls were tightly entwined, heart to heart, with the same rhythm, resonating the most authentic warmth.

The movement beside the pillow awakened Evelyn from her dream.

"Good morning, Xiao Ai."

Her closest friend is saying hello to her, and the familiar voice gently soothes her throbbing heart.

"Good morning..." Evelyn silently stared at the strange ceiling.

After a long time, the silent body finally regained the consciousness wandering in the sky.

"Judy?"

She spoke softly, but no one responded.

"Judy!?"

The only response to her was her own hoarse voice and silence.

She tried to sit up, but collapsed on the bed again.

Evelyn looked at the ceiling carefully for the second time, her nose suddenly felt a little sour.

"What happened!?"

The sound of reassuring footsteps came from afar.

"What's wrong? Xiao Ai?"

"...It's okay..." Evelyn rubbed her eyes and shook her head slightly.

"Get up, lie down on the quilt, and I'll apply some medicine for you." Judy shook the black plastic bag in her hand towards Evelyn who was lying on the bed.

"Did you go downstairs to buy medicine just now?" Evelyn asked, obediently lying on the quilt according to Judy's instructions.

She hid her face under the covers so Judy wouldn't notice the slight redness in the corners of her eyes.

"I heard that this medicine is more effective and won't leave scars. It's much better than the low-end medicines I kept at home before. Just as you didn't get up, I ran over to buy it for you."

"Oh..." Evelyn buried her head in the bed completely, and replied sullenly.

"Be good, be good." Judy rubbed Evelyn's short hair, coaxing her a little fragile like a child.

"Hurry up and apply the medicine! It's a bit cold!"

"Okay, here we come."

Judy nodded helplessly, and took out a bottle of medicine with simple packaging from the plastic bag.

Unpacking the useless box, Judy squeezed the medicine into the palm of her hand, rubbed her hands, and gently rubbed it on Evelyn's body.

Evelyn turned her head to look at Judy standing behind her with a focused expression, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhu Dizai paints every corner carefully, as if a painter is meticulously treating his favorite painting, and every time he writes, he must use all his mind to paint evenly.

"Thank you...Judy..." Evelyn let those warm hands wipe away the pain for herself, lay her head on the quilt, and said softly.

"Thank me for what?" Judy pouted, feeling that Evelyn was making a fuss.

"Thank you for reminding me... that I am human too... not a puppet to be manipulated."

"..." Judy sighed silently, and kept moving her hands, applying the precious ointment over and over again.

"Xiao Ai..." She looked at the hideous scars on Evelyn's body, and hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"I will always be with you...until the end of the end."
