Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Sofia doesn't really like going to school, even at Arasaka Academy, the premier institution in Night City.

She felt that most of the kids in the class were hopeless idiots.

Sofia fiddled with the ends of her long blond hair and watched it winding into curls along her white fingertips.

The call was hung up unilaterally again.

"Stinky uncle! Stupid uncle! Old-fashioned uncle!" She couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, and the small curls gradually grew in size under her hands.

She couldn't help but wonder about the origin of those strange noises in the background during her last phone call with her uncle.

Not quite like firecrackers.

She licked her lips irritably, and accidentally broke a few bent hairs with her hands.

For a moment, she almost believed what her uncle said - he was an agent, performing some bloody secret mission.

But what kind of agent would make love to a little girl while on a mission?

Although she knew in her heart that her uncle probably didn't have that idea, she still defined the relationship between them without permission.

Little girls are always like this, they like unrealistic fantasies and long for a mature, stable and reliable man to help their love-starved self grow up quickly.

Sophia grew up in a single-parent family and has always been dependent on her mother. She always hoped to have a father-like man to rely on. When you occasionally feel uncomfortable, you can talk to him, talk about everything, anything.

He won't ask you what's wrong, nor will he say inappropriate words. He will just stay with you quietly and tell you with his steady breathing that he is always there.

That's fine.

In comparison, those boys of the same age are too inferior.

These fools with acne-covered faces always like to tease girls, thinking that the angry glares from girls towards them are affectionate gazes. If they receive a few soft punches, they will even get excited and think that it is flirting!

Damn it!

Sophia, who completely inherited her mother's beauty, has developed good boxing skills.

He punched me hard with a pink fist and fell to the ground directly to the brats who didn't know the heights and heights of the world.

The effect was immediate. From then on, no little monkey dared to tease her.

But occasionally it has the opposite effect. Everyone is attracted by her valiant appearance, and girls also start to pursue her.

"Heartthrob" - this is a title Sofia often overhears. She was already ready to close her ears. She originally thought it was some kind of bad reputation like "tigress" or "little bitch".

It turned out to be a good one, it was both beautiful and capable of fighting, and it directly controlled everyone to death.

In short, Sofia tried her best, but there was still an endless stream of suitors, one by one, like fish starved of oxygen, they all gathered on the water for a kiss.

If they knew that their goddess had set her heart on a certain uncle, these idiots would probably cry sadly.

She raised the corners of her mouth in gloating, her good mood returning for the day.

"Hey! Sophia, what are you doing sitting alone in your seat? Why don't you go out for a walk after class?"

"Oh, Bonnie!" Sofia regained her composure, shouted, jumped up from her seat, and threw herself at the girl in front of her.

Bonnie couldn't dodge, so she was caught by Sophia, pulled into her huge chest, and ravaged fiercely.

Compared to Sophia, who has a slender waist, long legs, perfect proportions, well-developed chest muscles, and a clearly visible waistcoat line carved on her abdomen like a knife, with a body comparable to that of a supermodel, Bonnie is completely an undeveloped little bean sprout.

However, unlike Sophia's aggressive and fierce look, Bonnie's advantages lie in her two shallow dimples and a heart-warming smile, which gives her a unique charm.

To paraphrase those boys, there was an intoxicating sweetness to her smile.

"I can't breathe, Sophia!" Bonnie played along with Sophia and begged her for mercy in a weak tone.

"Hehe..." Sofia smiled with satisfaction. In her opinion, only her good sister Bonnie was a very interesting and smart person in the class.

Bonnie raised her head, made a face at her, and said, "What were you doing just now? Sophia, I see you have been in a daze."

"I'm thinking about men." Sophia stuck out her tongue seductively and licked her lips.

"Did you have a fever that burned out your brain?" Bonnie reached out and touched Sophia's forehead, "No... strange..."

"Tch, class is about to start, wait until I send him a voice message." Sofia glared at Bonnie pretending to be angry, turned her back to her, clicked on the call list, and said: "Hello? Uncle! I have to go to class now, let’s talk later!”

As Bonnie walked towards the seat next to Sophia, she couldn't help covering her mouth and teasing, "This is the same tone I use when communicating with my dad!"

"Ah! You little brat." Sophia felt that her fists were not being controlled and she hardened herself.

Before Bonnie is about to be judged by the Iron Fist, the school bell rings.

Faced with Bonnie's snickering, Sophia made fierce gestures with her fingers in the air, meaning "you are dead".

Bonnie quietly stuck her tongue out at her, not paying attention at all.

Sophia sighed helplessly, put on the standard Mewtwo equipment, and followed the torrent of data into the virtual classroom with her consciousness.

The uncle didn't call.

Just like usual.

Sofia sighed and scratched her hair.

"Sofia, let's go?"

Before she could feel any more melancholy, Bonnie followed from behind and pulled her out of the school gate.

Compared to the mediocre nutritional meals provided by the school, Bonnie preferred to take Sophia to a Chinese restaurant in the city center to eat some hot food.

Bonnie usually treats her guests. This wealthy daughter who spends a lot of money doesn't care about the prices in the city center. Sophia was quite critical of this, and disliked her spending money lavishly and not treating money as money.

For a child growing up in a single-parent family, it is not easy to eat these expensive foods with peace of mind.

Every time she ate, Sophia would order more hot delicacies with a coveted look on her face, pack them up and take them away, and take advantage of her lunch break to personally give them to her mother who worked at Arasaka Company.

Bonnie expressed her understanding, which was part of the reason why she deliberately took Sophia to go to high-end restaurants. Without adequate, nutritious and delicious diet, it would be difficult for Sophia and her mother to stay healthy by relying solely on synthetic meat made from insects.

In order to help her beloved Sophia, she took great pains.

The two best friends have a tacit understanding of each other, one pays silently, and the other keeps it in his heart for repayment in the future.

"Good sisters are rare in Night City, aren't they?" Someone in the shadows whispered softly with a telescope.

He rubbed the sharp knife, and his feet became scarlet.
