Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past.

Winter nights without a moon always seem extraordinarily deserted.

The floating car roared and slowly flew over the noisy city.

When passing by the 3D projection next to the high-rise building, it is like a ship passing by on the water, leaving a few faint blue ripples.

The silent night sky flowing with viscous ink echoes the shimmering iridescence of the city below, like an upside-down black ocean and bright starry sky.

Looking at the gorgeous and lonely scenery outside the car window, An Xianyuan put aside all her worries for the time being.

Laura sat leaning in her arms, sipping warm milk in small sips.After applying the steaming mist from the cup to her face for a short while, she already narrowed her eyes comfortably, and her toes turned up.

"Cough cough cough..."

It wasn't until a short cough sounded that the warm and quiet atmosphere was broken.

Zhang Xian'an sat across from the two girls, one big and one small, wearing a high-protection mask on his face, coughing softly, his body trembling non-stop.

"you caught a cold?"

Because Laura was there, An Xianyuan restrained the harsh words that came out of her mouth, and rarely paid attention to the rotten person in front of her.

"Cough...almost," Zhang Xian'an frowned, the unknown illness was much more serious than he expected, "You'd better stay away from me recently."

An Xianyuan rolled her eyes, and indicated with her eyes that she had no intention of getting close to him, then hugged Laura, moved her position, and moved away from him as much as possible.

Zhang Xian'an shrugged, just tightened the mask on his face, and didn't continue to entangle with her on this topic, "I actually didn't expect you to bring this little girl with you... What's her name?"

"My name is Laura..." The little girl hid in An Xianyuan's arms and replied timidly.

"Don't scare her..." An Xianyuan stared straight at the man, like a lioness guarding her cubs, "Besides, I'll go back to Korea with you, what will she do? What if I don't bring Now, who will take care of her? It depends on your...forget it..."

An Xianyuan sighed, rubbed her hair, and did not continue talking.

Laura grabbed the woman's sleeve, and brought the warm milk in her arms to her chapped lips like a treasure.

"Thank you~ Laura..." The resentment and anger that filled my heart disappeared the moment I met the girl's green eyes.

An Xianyuan smiled happily, and while rubbing the little girl's tender face, she took a sip of the still warm hot milk happily.

Zhang Xian'an silently stared at the complete stranger, a little lost in thought.

In the next second, the pain in his lungs that seemed to be completely torn apart shattered the thought that had just arisen in his heart.

"Cough cough cough..."

The intensifying cough echoed continuously in the floating carriage, endlessly.

An Xianyuan sighed, put the milk cup back into Laura's arms, turned around, took out a box of medicine from her handbag, and threw it on the man opposite.

"Eat something, although it's a temporary solution, not the root cause..."

"CPH-4?" Zhang Xian'an frantically caught the medicine flying in mid-air, and asked in surprise, "How do you know?... Cough cough cough... Also, why do you have it in your hand?"

"You left it in your office, I don't know why you forgot to take it... Also, didn't you yourself advertise that this medicine can be effective for many diseases? A dead horse is a living horse medicine..." An Xianyuan took the handbag Put it back in place, and answered his question angrily.

The corner of Zhang Xian'an's mouth twitched, clutching the medicine box in his hand, his eyes flickered.

"Don't think about it... This is a deal, a box of medicine for me and Laura to not be disturbed in Zhang's house these days, isn't it too much?"

"Are you negotiating terms with me with my things? Alright...deal."

To An Xianyuan's surprise, the man in front of her resolutely agreed to this nonsense deal that she just made up.

She raised her head, and rarely looked straight at the man's eyes for a while.

"What's wrong? It's rare for me to be kind?" Zhang Xian'an understood what she meant, rubbed the aching brows, and said angrily.

"If you are really kind, you should let us go... I don't want to go back to Korea with you..."

"You have the ability to say this to the old man... These are all his bad ideas."

That hideous old face flashed in his mind, An Xianyuan shuddered, feeling uncomfortable as if covered with a layer of frost.

"Sister, where are we going?"

Laura was not affected. After putting the clean milk glass in her hand back on the drink shelf, she slipped back into An Xianyuan's arms and asked in a childish voice.

"Ah... go to a place similar to Night City."

"hell?"

"Pfft..." Zhang Xian'an didn't intend to eavesdrop on what they were saying, because the cute child's voice was too penetrating, and what he said was very interesting.

"Lola, let's keep our voice down, don't let that bad uncle on the other side hear you, okay?" An Xianyuan pursed her lips and said in a low voice.

"Oh..." Laura nodded obediently, laying her little head next to An Xianyuan's ear, and said something shallowly, which amused her.

"Hey! Can you stop whispering in my face?"

"We sisters tell some secrets, what's the matter?"

"I think you have the talent to be a mother..." Zhang Xian'an gritted his teeth, just about to subconsciously threaten, but after seeing Laura's curious gaze, he held back depressedly.

"Mom?" Laura withdrew her curious gaze, and arched An Xianyuan's chest with her small head, "Mom!"

"Ah! Don't listen to that rotten man's nonsense..." An Xianyuan hugged the little girl into her arms, and quietly raised her middle finger to someone.

"Is that still my sister?"

Every time she looked directly at Laura's beautiful eyes, An Xianyuan couldn't think of rejecting her.

"In this way, when it's just you and me, you can call me whatever you want, but you still call me sister in front of outsiders, okay?"

"Okay~" Laura narrowed her eyes again happily, and kissed An Xianyuan's cheek forcefully.

"Is that why you don't want to have anything to do with me?" Zhang Xianan breathed a sigh of relief and asked flatly.

"The last woman who wanted to have a relationship with you has become your first experimental product...Do you think I would like to, Mr. Zhang?"

"Compared to a secretary, you are more suitable to be an agent..." Zhang Xian'an did not expect that the woman in front of him could even learn such secret information, and was a little speechless.

"Look forward silently, there will be such a day... You'd better pray that you don't die by my hands." An Xianyuan covered Laura's ears and said in a low voice.

Zhang Xian'an listened, but nodded silently, but did not respond.

The cold wind howled outside the car window, seeming to be laughing mockingly.
