Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 75 Bubble
The cold wind howled and chased the night, covering the whole city bit by bit.

The psychedelic flickering neon gradually lights up, as if reflecting the stars in the sky.

Yuehua quietly rolled in through the open window, and gently covered them who were sleeping soundly with a layer of white blankets.

The slender eyelashes fluttered a few times, and the woman slowly woke up from her sleep.

The petite warmth in her arms made her realize that she was already in reality.

A dream come true reality.

"Lola...wake up..." She looked at the little girl in her arms with gentle eyes, and she gently pinched the little girl's rosy cheeks that were gradually rounding up with her hands.

The watery appearance, smooth and delicate touch, so cute that you can't put it down.

"...Huh?" Laura responded in a low voice, but closed her eyes, curled herself up tightly, and hid herself carefully in the woman's arms.

"Wake up... After sleeping for so long, get up, take a hot bath, and eat something, okay?" An Xianyuan coaxed softly. Although she has never raised a child, the maternal instinct engraved in her genes will guide her What to do.

"Oh..." Laura opened her sleepy eyes, and the twin emerald green lakes looked even more breathtaking under the moonlight.

After gently stroking Laura's long messy hair a few times, An Xianyuan wrapped the little girl up in a quilt and carried her to the bathroom.

"Oh! Let me down!" Being treated like a baby, the thin-skinned little girl couldn't bear it immediately, and danced and struggled to escape from the woman's clutches.

An Xianyuan looked at the little Laura who was writhing like a silkworm baby in her arms, with a smile on her lips.

Holding the writhing Laura in one arm, she walked to the window.

After reaching out to close the window, An Xianyuan put the little girl down with a blushing face.

On winter nights in Night City, there will always be a bone-chilling chill.

The cold moisture will engulf the coldness, penetrate into the flesh and blood, and seep into the bone marrow, greedily taking away all the heat.

Like this city, it is a vicious beast that chooses people and devours them.

An Xianyuan is always like this, she will use some awkward means to cover up her pure purpose.

Obviously, she only needs to tell Laura to open the window and be careful not to catch a cold, but she insists on wrapping the little girl up in a quilt and closing the window herself before she is willing to let it go.

I am really not frank.

An Xianyuan was distracted for a few seconds, trying to reflect on her words and deeds.

In the past, when a person got used to it, there would always be some bad habits. Now that there is a child to take care of, these bad habits have to be reversed.

"elder sister?"

"Huh?" The little girl's timid voice pulled An Xianyuan's floating mind back from the cloud, "Do you need my help?"

"Clothes..." Laura had already slipped into the bathroom, holding her body timidly in the steaming warm mist, poking her head out.

"Well, I'll get it for you... Wash it with peace of mind, remember not to fall asleep in the bathtub... If I call you and you don't respond after 10 minutes, I will come in and look for you directly." An Xianyuan said softly As he spoke, he gently pushed that lovely head back into the warm mist.

The reason why she told her specifically was because she had just read a news report a few days ago, saying that a single woman who lived alone was found dead in her bathroom.

The cause of death was that a person passed out while taking a bath, and eventually died of gas poisoning.

Her fragile heart couldn't bear a little unexpected blow.

The glass door of the bathroom was closed, and the little girl responded softly, turned around and left slowly, leaving only a petite figure behind An Xianyuan.

An Xianyuan took out a set of little girl's clothes from the closet next door, and placed them neatly at the door of the bathroom together with the toasted towels.

After doing all this, she was idle, as if she didn't know what to do, she just faced out the window, staring at the city under the night in a daze.

Everything seems like a dream.

The teeth pressed firmly against the lips until the smell of rust oozes out.

She still couldn't understand why the man who regarded human life as nothing and always believed in the supremacy of interests would let Laura go so easily.

What kind of profit CPH-4 represents, I believe no one knows better than Zhang Xian'an.

What made him abandon the test subject that was right in front of him?

All the gifts given by fate have already been secretly priced.

After all, the present happiness is just a layer of extremely beautiful bubbles.

It only takes someone to blow on it and the bubble will burst.

Just like the beautiful dreams that disappeared after she just woke up.

Even the memory will gradually disappear, leaving only a shallow mark in the mind.

The dark truth was buried at the soles of her feet.

They are like helpless lambs walking on the edge of a cliff. If they make a wrong step, they will fall into a bottomless abyss.

The more you think about it, the more complicated your mood becomes.

An Xianyuan sighed, and looked down at the time displayed on the phone.

"Lola?" she called into the bathroom. "Done?"

"Washed!"

A few seconds later, the girl's crisp voice pierced through the barrier of fog and glass, and was heard clearly in An Xianyuan's ears.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

I usually watch some TV series too much, and worry about whether some bloody plots will happen to me from time to time.

"Sister!" The bathroom door was slightly opened a gap, and Laura hid in the bathroom, wiping off the dripping water stains on her body bit by bit with a towel.

"Okay, stop playing, be careful of catching a cold!" With a smile in her tone, An Xianyuan gently blamed the naughty girl.

"Oh..." Laura responded softly, wrapped in a towel, walked to the door of the bathroom, and took the brand new clothes from An Xianyuan's hands.

"Put on your clothes, and I'll blow your hair later. Is there water in your ears? Will my sister pick out your ears later?"

Maybe all the mothers in the world care about their children so much, they can't help but talk about something.

"Yes!" Laura put on her clothes and hugged An Xianyuan's arm tightly.

Maybe it was because of the loss, but now she cherishes this kind of motherly care and nagging.

In the past, I just felt that this nagging was annoying.

But if you can't hear it anymore, it's like digging out a piece of flesh from your heart, leaving only a heartache to accompany you for the rest of your life.

"Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

"No... it's just hot... the sweat from the heat..." Laura raised her head slightly, blinked quickly, and tried hard to put some tears back into her eyes.

"Lola..." An Xianyuan nodded knowingly, but pulled the girl into her arms with all her strength.

A burst of familiar yet unfamiliar warmth pervades the whole body, filling the heart.

Laura couldn't hold on any longer, tears burst into tears, pouring out all the sadness and sadness.

"Mom..." she murmured softly, calling for that face that was never seen again.
