Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 7 Consensus
After arriving in Night City, Xita Kasdey couldn't remember how long it had been since he slept peacefully until dawn.

She was afraid, afraid that she would fall asleep alone and never be able to open her eyes again.

She hasn't repaid the kindness of Roger and Gloria; she hasn't realized her dream of becoming a legend in Night City;

At only 18 years old, she carries too much weight, but fortunately she is not alone.

Hita opened his eyes and saw the sun.

Yawei sat on the head of her bed with his eyes closed, and the side profile reminded her of the statues she had seen in churches when she was a child.

"Good morning, Xita," he said, his voice soft, like a naughty Cupid tickling her heart with a golden feather.

"...Good morning... Yahweh..." Xi Tan was in a daze for a while before answering in a hoarse voice.

"Have a cold?" He was concerned, and lowered his head to get close to her face, his beautiful blue eyes were shining with light that she couldn't understand.

"No..." Xi Tan shook her head, broke free from the embrace of the quilt, jumped up from the bed, put on her slippers, and ran to the sink to wash up.

Yawei smiled, watching her fleeing back.

Xi Tan was washing at the sink, and the girl in the mirror looked like a peach blossom.She made a funny face at herself and almost choked on the toothpaste foam in her mouth.

"Are you going to go on a mission today?" Yawei walked up to Xita, and water trickled down her tall nose.

"Let's wait for the middleman to contact you. It's not every day." After drying her face with a towel, Xita squeezed the skin care products into her hands and applied them in the mirror.

"Actually, I can hack into the company's online account..." Yawei paused, and saw Xita's beautiful eyebrows frowned through the mirror, "...this way you can stay at home, and you don't have to go out to pick up jobs." Made money..."

"That's not okay..." Xita wiped the excess lotion on her neck, then turned around and shook her head at Yawei, "I can't be your blood-sucking bug."

"I do not care……"

"I care..." She murmured, pressing her face against his illusory body, "I can't accept it, I can't be your burden, even if this weight is insignificant to you..."

Yahweh was silent, he did not understand.

"Does it feel inexplicable? This is a human..." Xi Tan saw the ignorance on his face, with a smile in his mouth, stood on tiptoe, and hugged the illusory him into his arms.

"This is me, this is Shita Kasdey..."

Their figures overlapped, as if their hearts were also close to each other, and he seemed to realize something.

"I want to be your backing..." His voice was hoarse, but his tone became more and more excited and determined, "The most solid backing, so you just run forward."

"Okay..." She pouted her lips, but kissed the air.

They looked at each other and finally couldn't help laughing together.

On this peaceful morning, under the grand sunshine, their hearts were so connected for the first time.

It took a long time for Xi Tan to catch the little deer that was jumping around in his heart, and pressed it hard to keep it from moving.

She let go of her hands that had been in a hugging position before, and walked towards the wardrobe next to the living room.

"Rogge gave me the contact information of a prosthetic doctor before..." She was choosing clothes, intending to make the best match among the limited choices.

"I can check the fit of the prosthesis for you," Yawei walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and then said, "Even if it doesn't match, I can reduce its side effects to zero."

"Okay." Xita didn't refuse this time, she hoped that she could live longer, not just for herself.

On the morning of January 2074, 1, they faced the sunshine together and marched towards the future.

On the way down the elevator, Yawei vaguely saw a boy with punk hair jumping down from the stairs on the third floor, just landing on the garbage pile on the first floor as a buffer.

"This is..." Yawei felt his eyes widened.

"Tsk! That kid..." Xi Tan patted his forehead and explained through gritted teeth, "That bastard is David Martinez, and his mother is Gloria Martinez. We just met yesterday. "

"He looks quite individual." Yawei touched his chin, and followed Xita out of the elevator.

Until the garage door, they were still discussing about the kid's maverick.

"This boy, it's the first time I saw him go to school like this. Is it because he is at Arasaka Academy?" Xita tangles his hair with his fingers while chewing on the bread he just bought from the stall, planning to make an appointment in a few days. Gloria, have a good chat about her children's education, she can't just sit idly by.

Gloria Martinez is indeed a good mother. She tried her best to provide her son with the best educational resources and for him to live a better life in the future, but she was so tired that she didn't have much time to talk to her son. , exchange exchanges.David Martinez, who is only 15 years old, does not necessarily understand his mother's good intentions.

Growing up in a single-parent home, the pressure from his mother, and the possibility of being bullied at an elite school, it's no wonder David is rebellious.

Based on the information she observed and combined with her previous school experience, Xi Tan felt that the more she thought about it, the more likely it was.

"Xita?" Yawei looked at Xita's distressed look, and became worried.

"In a few days, we will visit Martinez's house together," she deliberately emphasized on the word "together", making Yawei confused.

"Aren't we already together?" He sat in the driver's seat, intending to still drive by him.

"You'll understand when the time comes..." Xita blinked at him, put down the passenger seat, lay down comfortably, and accepted the fact that the car was already owned by the male owner.

Yawei silently expressed his expectation, activated Hera in the sky, and transferred the destination that Xita sent to him on the way just now into the program he wrote casually.

"Nina Kravitz?" He glanced at the name of the prosthetic doctor on the message from Rogge.

"Hmph, female prosthetic doctor, I heard from Rogge that she seems to be a newcomer, taking over from her father's class, and her workmanship should be good." Xita closed her eyes and wrinkled her nose in a funny way, "Not yet Afraid that someone will be jealous..."

"Jealous?" Yawei thought for a while, although he didn't understand what it meant to be jealous, but if Xita asked a male prosthetic doctor for surgery, he might indeed be unhappy.

"It's true that I would be jealous," so he chose to honestly admit that Xi Tan had a point.

"Hmm..." Xita still closed her eyes, her little face seemed to be flushed red by the sun, "This is the first time I've been looking for a prosthetic doctor..."

"...I plan to install a more advanced network access cabin, and if I have money left, I will add a prosthetic eye." She changed the subject, otherwise the ambiguous atmosphere in the car would always make her imagine.

"That's fine too," Yawei nodded in agreement, "A good network access warehouse is more convenient for me to protect you."

Xi Tan touched his nose, but didn't answer, and turned his head out of the window, concentrating on dealing with the deer that was jumping in his heart.
