Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

The cold wind howled outside the window, mixed with wisps of broken sun.

The slanting light came into the window, gently covering her face with a layer of golden gauze.

The slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and then slowly bloomed, revealing the clear violet flower heart inside.

2074, January 20, 17:30

Xi Dao stared at the familiar ceiling in a daze, letting the golden gauze on his face be pulled away bit by bit by the night.

"cough……"

The dry feeling in her throat brought back her somewhat wandering consciousness.

Rubbing her messy silver hair, Xi Da slowly sat up and looked at the bedside casually, only to catch a glimpse of a cup of hot water prepared in advance.

With a gentle curve at the corner of her mouth, she stretched out her hand, gently grasped the still warm glass handle, and took a small sip. A warmth flowed down her esophagus and into her heart.

"Suddenly I really want to eat pears."

Xi Ta looked out the window at the slowly setting sun, and poured out her impulsive demands to the empty room.

"Brother-in-law, why did you buy so many pears?" David glanced at the shopping cart curiously.

"It's dry in the winter in Night City, so I thought your sister might suddenly want to eat some pears." Yawei shrugged and continued to stroll around with the shopping cart. "You can also get some pears later, and you Mom, eat some together, it’s good for your health.”

In Night City, fresh fruits and vegetables are always in hot demand.

"Okay." David was not pretentious, mainly because of Gloria, who had been complaining about her dry throat recently.

"By the way... David, do you know how to make pears delicious?"

"Gloria has bought a lot of cookbooks before..." David grabbed a few packages of snacks and put them in the shopping cart. He thought about them and answered, "What kind of rock sugar and snow pear tremella soup, pear porridge, red wine and snow pear, etc. .”

"Wow..." Yahweh nodded slightly and made up his mind to cook tonight. "David, can you cook?"

"Gloria knows a little bit, but I... don't know much at all."

"If you find a girlfriend in the future, wouldn't you consider learning from it?"

"It would be nice to have some..." David smiled bitterly, "As for talking about a girlfriend...it's a little too early for me."

"You have to improve yourself in advance, so that when you meet the girl you like, you won't be able to love her properly."

"Have brother-in-law and sister had conflicts recently? I feel like I have been thinking a lot about this..."

"That's not true... I just can't help but keep thinking about the future, long into the future."

Yahweh smiled slightly, and the torrent of data obeyed the instructions, carrying the search results, and came into view.

He slowly selected various dishes according to the various recipes presented.

"Sister Xida must love you very much, so..."

"I understand." Yahweh gently interrupted David's words and just made his promise carefully.

In the City of Night, the happiest thing is sleeping in until you wake up naturally.

Xi Ta opened up the hot quilt, and moved her jade-white legs lazily, tapping her toes lightly on the cold floor, as if she received an electric shock, and then put them back again.

She lay on the bed and poked her head slightly, looking for the location of her slippers.

No matter how flawless you appear in front of others, you can't help but expose some minor flaws at home.

Xi Da is no exception. Every time she goes to bed, she always likes to kick the slippers she is wearing flying around.

This made Yahweh have to rearrange the position of her slippers every time.

Although he also enjoys it.

Recalling the countless sweet past between the two of them, she found the pink slippers neatly placed at the end of the bed.

He hooked his toes slightly, put on his slippers, and walked slowly to the sink.

It was almost evening, and she didn't bother to put on makeup, so she simply cleaned and washed herself.

Where has Yahweh gone?

She was thinking as she faced the mirror and blew pure white bubbles playfully.

"Big liar, you promised not to leave me too far."

Xi Da muttered vaguely, spit out the last mouthful of foam, put his index finger on the tip of his nose, and made a cute pig nose to the sleepy girl in the mirror.

The door happened to open at this moment, and the man she longed for was smiling gently at her, carrying large and small bags.

It was already dark, and it was gloomy outside the house. In her eyes, his smile was the only light.

"Come back?" She wiped the corners of her mouth, tilted her head, and asked softly.

"Well..." Yahweh closed the door and gently placed large and small plastic bags on the ground, "Are you hungry?"

"I just got up, it's okay."

Xi Tao pouted slightly and quietly rubbed his somewhat shriveled belly.

"Shall I cook tonight?"

Yahweh pointed to the kitchen that had just been remodeled a few days ago, bent down, and planned to fumble for something from the plastic bag.

"Can you cook?" Xi Da raised his eyebrows and slightly arched his nose, "I almost forgot that you are an almighty AI..."

"Are you angry?" Yahweh hurriedly walked to her side, rubbed her messy hair, and smoothed down the few stupid hairs that secretly stood up.

"No!" Heda raised his head and gently left another pink mark on Yawei's neck.

"Go cook! I want to wash my hair!" After enjoying her boyfriend's gentle and delicate touch, Xi Da slowly calmed down and pushed him into the kitchen.

"Do you dislike me so much? Are you going to go out of your way to wash your hair?" Yahweh covered his chest and looked worried.

"Tch...you like touching me so much. I'll let you touch me as much as I can after I've washed her!" Xida made a face at him, lowered her head, and gently pushed her head into his arms.

"Okay, okay...be careful not to catch a cold. It's especially easy to catch a cold in this weather."

"I'm not a child!"

Xi Da pretended to be angry and stamped his foot, tapping him hard on the lips as punishment.

"Okay, okay... I'm going to cook... What do you want to eat tonight? The theme is pears."

"Pear!" She raised her eyebrows in surprise, and the disguise of anger she had tried so hard just now failed. "I was just thinking about eating pears!"

Xida smiled and rolled her eyes, holding his warm hand and shaking it back and forth.

"I don't know you yet?" Yahweh quietly rolled his eyes and tapped her on the forehead, "Want to eat rock sugar, snow pear, tremella soup or pear porridge? Red wine and snow pear are also fine. I'm prepared for both. "

"Let's have pear porridge. I want to eat something lighter." Xi Ta tapped his chin with his fingertips and thought for a few seconds.

"Okay." Yahweh nodded, walked into the living room, and carried the large and small plastic bags into the kitchen.

"I have to learn to cook in the future... I can't let you, a busy man, cook all the time..." Xi Da said softly as she looked at his busy figure.

"It doesn't matter if I know how to do it. I'm just cooking it for you anyway."

"That's not okay... Relationships require mutual sacrifice to last long!" Xi Da crossed his arms and placed them in front of his chest, retorting word by word.

Yawei turned around and smiled at her, "I will teach you how to cook from now on. I think this is quite romantic."

Xi Da followed his words and imagined being held in his arms, guiding her step by step on how to cook, and couldn't help but smile brightly.

"OK……"

Her joyful smile is the brightest star tonight.
