Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 82 Raindrops
There was a little drizzle outside the window.

The twinkling stars and lights in the night are captured and wrapped by the rain drop by drop, turning into a blur of psychedelic colors.

The black smoke scrambled to escape, trying in vain to avoid the ferocious sound wave's pursuit.

"boom!"

The heavily armed iron giant was shimmering with dangerous red light all over its body. Just as it struggled out of the black mist, it was torn to pieces by the huge shock wave that followed.

"Ah! I'm dead!"

Xita stared at the gray computer screen, shouted annoyedly, and kicked the innocent air with a bit of pear sweetness indiscriminately with his legs.

"Be careful, don't get cramps in your legs." Yawei sat beside Xita, stretched out his hands, and tightly hugged her wobbling calves.

"Do you want to play?" With both feet on his firm abdomen, Xita rubbed his sore neck and pointed at the blinking computer screen with his chin.

"I don't like playing games..." Yawei shook his head, grabbed those trembling little feet, and massaged her in a soothing rhythm from light to heavy according to the techniques found on the Internet.

"Hiss..." Xi Tan gritted her teeth, trying not to let out a scream mixed with pain and comfort.

The room suddenly became quiet, and the pattering rain outside the window became clearly audible.

"It's raining outside again..." Xi Tan turned her head to look outside the blurred window, and sighed softly.

"Do you like rainy days?"

"...It's not like I like it." Xiumei's eyebrows twitched from time to time, and Xi Tan replied sullenly, enduring the pain.

"Why?" Yawei asked softly, and gently put the tender red feet back into the pair of pink cotton slippers.

"The weather itself isn't good or bad...I just...don't like rainy days in Night City."

Gently moving her sore feet, Xita stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the sky and earth connected by rain.

"Have you thought about leaving Night City in the future and going to live somewhere?" Yawei walked to the bathroom, gently turned on the faucet, and washed his hands carefully.

"Not yet... Ah! Why are you washing so carefully! Are my feet dirty?!"

Xi Tan shook his head, just about to think seriously, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his boyfriend washing his hands carefully.

Wrinkling her nose angrily, she strode up to the smirking Yawei and kicked him lightly with the toe of her fluffy shoe.

"Not dirty, not dirty..." Yawei grabbed Xita's gradually rounded face with his clean hands, and gently kneaded it a few times.

Soft and tender, like fresh jelly, he couldn't put it down.

"Well……"

Grabbed by his mischievous hands, his whole body seemed to melt and he lost his strength.

The red color gradually covered the fair cheeks, Xita frowned, and lightly bit his mischievous hand, leaving a shallow mark.

"Stop making trouble! Otherwise, you can sleep on the sofa tonight!" Xi Tan shouted pretending to be angry, the words were clearly angry, but her tone couldn't hide a happy smile.

"it is good……"

Yawei didn't point out his girlfriend's inconsistency, and after nodding obediently, he pulled her into his arms forcefully.

Xita closed her eyes, and leaned all her mind into that warm embrace.

"I...haven't thought it through yet..." she said softly, continuing the topic she had just interrupted.

The seaside town and the warm sunshine are just fantasy after all.

As long as the person she loves the most is always by her side, it doesn't matter to her whether it is in heaven or hell.

"Lola, do you like rainy days?"

It is still the familiar restaurant, but there will never be that feeling of being in love again.

"what?"

It wasn't until An Xianyuan yelled for the second time that Laura came back to her senses.

"Do you like rainy days?" An Xianyuan supported her head and asked for the third time tirelessly.

"I like it..." Laura said softly, taking a sip of the hot chicken soup.

"Why?" An Xianyuan raised her eyebrows, a little surprised at the girl's answer without thinking.

"Because it rained the day I met my sister."

"So... did you like it?"

The tip of her nose suddenly turned acidic, and An Xianyuan wiped the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, but her voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Well, because of my sister, I fell in love with it." Laura just finished drinking the last sip of chicken soup at the bottom of the bowl. When she raised her head, she saw An Xianyuan rubbing the corners of her eyes non-stop.

"Sister? Do your eyes hurt?" She asked worriedly, and sat beside An Xianyuan on her short legs.

"No...it's just a little itchy." An Xianyuan calmed down, rubbed the little girl's head, and replied with a light smile.

"Oh." Laura nodded obediently, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the gentle feeling of the warm palm stroking back and forth on her head.

"It's cold, let's go home."

"Okay..." Laura opened her eyes again, but she was still reluctant to part with the warm feeling just now.

"Do you like head touching?"

"I like my sister."

"If you please me, I won't have candy."

"I like my sister more than sugar."

"Ah."

An Xianyuan smiled silently, hugged the little person tightly in her arms, and let the two beating hearts slowly move closer together.

"It's all right now... Sorry, it was too urgent just now, and I threw you down subconsciously." V ​​pulled Jill up from the ground, and wiped the dust off her body apologetically.

"It's okay, I'm going back to take a shower anyway." Jill also knew V's kindness, and didn't take the trivial things to heart.

"This should be the first time you have faced such a thing, right?" V chuckled, and glanced at Misty and Jack outside the bar who were also safe and sound.

"Fortunately, this house is unexpectedly reliable..." Jill still had some lingering fears when talking about this.

An explosion happened right next to this small bar.

"By the way... what happened?"

"It should be a cyber-psychopath... The Terrorist Mobile Team is a bit heavy-handed today." V ​​clicked on the news and glanced at it, and said with a wry smile.

They are just pond fish unlucky enough to be caught by a hunt.

Luckily, no one was injured.

"Do you need me to take you home? It seems that the street is not quite peaceful at the moment."

"Thank you so much." Jill breathed a sigh of relief, letting her walk home alone at this time, she really couldn't move.

"It's okay, let me go and talk to my friends." V patted Jill's slender shoulder lightly, and rolled over from the bar.

"Misty, Jack, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, V."

"I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy." Jack rubbed his head. He just drank a whole bottle of the strongest wine in the store, and he's still a little dizzy now.

"It's fine, I'll take Miss Jill home, and you all pay attention to safety."

"See you tomorrow, V."

"Come out for a drink next time, V!"

Misty and Jack said goodbye to V, and watched her walk out of the small bar with the help of the bartender lady whose legs were weak.

"This kind of thing happened today, I left work early, I don't know if the boss will deduct my salary..." Jill rubbed her head, talking to herself with some distress.
