Lin Mo was sitting in front of the wooden dining table. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He just looked at the woman standing in front of the table silently. He didn't know when a handkerchief appeared in his hand.
The white-haired woman's tears slowly flowed down her cheeks, leaving traces of water on them, ruining the makeup she had specially prepared for today.
She took the handkerchief from Lin Mo's hand and wiped her tears while sorting out her thoughts.
Finally, when she sat down, Sasha had regained her composure, a smile appeared on her lips again, her slender arms rested on the table, her soft hands crossed together to support her chin, and her beautiful eyes still did not move away from Lin Mo's body.
.
Today she is wearing a very beautiful white dress. A large area of fair skin on her shoulders is exposed, and a healthy reddish color can be vaguely seen. The waist area has been specially refined to highlight the graceful body curves and beautiful figure.
, paired with her pure white hair, makes her look less like a capable network hacker and more like a wealthy woman out for a spring outing.
The two people who sat down were silent. Lin Mo continued to hold the straw, his eyes were lowered to avoid meeting Sasha's eyes, and he didn't say a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
"You two, this is the drink you ordered. I hope you enjoy it." The voice of the chef from the side broke the silence between the two.
The chef brought two bottles of lemon juice.
Fruit particles are floating in the pale yellow liquid in the transparent cup, and a few cubes of ice are rippling in the cup. Just looking at it makes you feel like your soul is being penetrated by coolness. Combined with the beautiful scenery of the rolling waves and the setting sun outside the window.
, it is indeed a rare enjoyment.
After the drinks were served, the chef did not leave in time. Instead, he leaned close to Sasha and asked something in a low voice. Sasha also smiled and answered casually.
Lin Mo, who had a keen hearing, quickly heard the conversation between the two, but when he heard that the chef was actually asking Sasha if he wanted the food to be served now, Sasha just replied "No for now," and Lin Mo had no intention of eavesdropping.
.
After the chef left, Sasha continued to look at Lin Mo's face with soft eyes as before, but the only difference compared to before was that she was using the drink in her hand through a straw.
After finishing the first glass of juice, Lin Mo thought that if he continued to remain silent for a while, the whole afternoon and afternoon would be wasted.
And in the end, he will probably gain nothing more than a belly full of drinks.
So, he could only bite the bullet and break the current silence:
"I didn't expect to meet you here...what should I say? When I saw you just now, I had a lot of things to say to you, but now that you are looking at me all the time, I can't say a lot of things.
Already..."
Lin Mo's tone of voice was quite tangled, and he finally raised his head and looked at Sasha, who was sitting opposite.
Sasha smiled softly, put her left hand on her head and looked at Lin Mo sideways, unable to help herself, she expressed her thoughts:
"I just haven't seen your face for a long time, so I think you have become very handsome now, very handsome!"
Her tone of voice made it impossible to tell whether she was joking or making a serious evaluation, at least Lin Mo couldn't tell.
But in the face of this compliment, he felt that he could not express it at all.
After all, courtesy reciprocates.
So Lin Mo pondered for a while, and then he also praised the woman:
"You have really good eyesight."
"Pfft."
Sasha laughed softly, her eyes were as crescent-shaped as the crescent moon, and her pretty face looked a little more cute.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect you, Lin Mo, to be unable to find anything to talk about. We haven't seen you for half a year, and you seem to have changed a lot."
It's not that I can't find a topic, but your naked and unabashed gaze makes me feel "scared"... Lin Mo complained in his heart.
However, it was still impossible to say these inner thoughts, so Lin Mo could only smile and wait for Sasha's next words.
Sasha pinched the straw lightly with her fingers and unconsciously used the straw to "stir" the juice in the cup. Her eyes were slightly absent-minded, as if she was lost in memories:
"Actually, during the time you were missing, Lucy, Rebecca, and I were working hard to find you... Then we got clues about you from the Adecado Wanderer family. Got it.
You had already gone to China at that time... After that, we tried to find you in various cities in China... And because of the bonus you left in advance, the money between the three of us was enough for us to casually search for you.
Squandered."
Lin Mo nodded slightly. In fact, he had already learned about these things through Beichuan Hao about the three women looking for him.
The only thing they didn't expect was that they actually found themselves.
"Thank you for your hard work... But actually, there was a reason why I disappeared on purpose at that time..." He sighed.
"I know, you don't need to explain anything. After all, this is the willful behavior of the three of us, and it is not your fault. Moreover, you have repeatedly emphasized to us that you are not dead in fact, and you also kept the scabbard.
..." Sasha waved her hands quickly, as if she didn't seem to see Lin Mo blaming himself for these things.
Lin Mo nodded and did not continue to say anything. He also knew that not talking now was the best way to respond.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was becoming quiet again, Sasha thought for a while and then found another topic, and said with a smile and a crooked eyebrow:
"Why don't you let me first tell you where the three of us have been while looking for you?"
"You have been traveling in major cities in China for so long?" Lin Mo was keenly aware of Sasha's meaning.
Sasha nodded with a smile on his face:
"Yes, for example, before we came to Shenyang, we saw the Great Wall in the capital and ate roast goose by the way. Not to mention, we lived quite comfortably during this time. It turned out that Rebecca
I still thought this period of time was boring, but after I got used to it, I gradually became lazy and comfortable..."
"Well, are you still used to this kind of life?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.
"If possible, I would rather live like this every day. Of course, although this kind of life is good, I feel that there is still something missing... Without this kind of thing, once you get used to a beautiful life, it will not work.
It becomes boring." Sasha looked at him with burning eyes, her words became higher and higher as she went on, and this slightly excited tone rarely appeared in her.
"Well, I can understand that this kind of tourist-style life is indeed not as exciting as living in Night City. Although every city has its own unique beauty, now that urban technology is so advanced, the scenery of many cities is actually
They are all similar." Lin Mo said with deep understanding, the determined expression on his face seemed to indicate that he also had this kind of trouble:
"The world is big, but actually it is also very small. No matter how passionate life is, it will inevitably become calmer, just like those mountaineers who pursue the ultimate and never stop climbing to higher mountains, but the mountains all over the world are
There are so many, so in the end they can never avoid Mount Everest... After going up and then coming back down, for them, life is over."
"But, even if life is over, you still need to continue living. You have to find someone to spend the rest of your ordinary life with, friends, family and even lovers." Lin Mo suddenly changed the topic and said meaningfully.
"Do you think so too?" The light in Sasha's eyes seemed to suddenly brighten a lot.
Of the long speech Lin Mo just said, only the last two words could leave an impression in her mind.
"Yes, so I spent this time with my family. Although it is a little dull compared to the days in Night City, there are advantages to the dullness..." Lin Mo said with a chuckle.
brisk.
"So that's it..." The light in Sasha's eyes dimmed a little, and she realized that Lin Mo didn't think about it in that regard, and her restless heart gradually calmed down.
But then she cheered up again:
"Although the architectural styles of each city are similar, the food culture is different. Before we came here, we never thought that there could be so many delicious foods here. By the way, let me tell you something interesting first.
About half a year ago, when we first came to China, the first place we arrived was a province in the south, where..."
Under Sasha's melodious voice, Lin Mo also gradually understood the various interesting events the three of them had experienced in the past six months.
A big city that couldn’t finish all its specialties and delicacies after a month or two; the sky was filled with fireworks during the New Year’s Eve, and unrepentant thugs who were chased by police cars shot Gatling fireworks into the sky; I enjoyed it.
The trained panda is giving the middle finger to tourists with a naive face...
Everything was so beautiful, as if they had done nothing in the past six months, just traveling around and looking for someone by the way.
However, Lin Mo also knew that these interesting experiences were by no means all they had in the past six months. Sasha just concealed some of the unknown secrets from him. She was simply reporting good news but not bad news, not wanting to be blamed for some bad things.
Something happened that affected the beautiful atmosphere at this time.
If nothing else, when Sasha and the three of them are looking for him, they will inevitably use some hacking methods, which also implies some risks.
Secondly, in the world of cyberpunk, no matter how beautiful a country is, there will always be a dark side.
If it weren't for the large bonus he left in advance, how could Sasha and the others live so comfortably?
The chat lasted for a long time, but it didn't seem to last too long. Most of the time it was just Sasha talking, while Lin Mo sat aside and listened patiently, occasionally chiming in a few words.
This kind of eloquent talk, with endless topics to talk about and never tire of it, is not in line with her previous image at all.
The reason was that she seemed to have too many words hidden in her heart, and she had been holding back until she met the right person at this moment.
The things that people share are only told to young people.
It wasn't until he realized that all the juice in the cup at hand had been finished that Sasha realized that he had been talking for a long time, and even lunch hadn't been ordered yet.
"Hey, I almost forgot, after talking for so long, we haven't eaten yet..." She smiled a little apologetically, called the chef, and asked him to bring all the ordered food.
, turned around and continued to say to Lin Mo:
"Let's chat while we eat. I have carefully selected these dishes...and this meal is my treat!"
Lin Mo looked at the inexplicable smile on her lips and couldn't help but laugh too.
It seems that he rarely gets this kind of opportunity to be entertained by others.
So he was not polite next time, and continued to listen to Sasha's story while eating delicious food.
When he was full of wine and food, Lin Mo took out a tissue and wiped his mouth without hesitation, took a sip of juice to moisten his throat, and said at the right time:
"I've heard you talk about so many things. It would be impolite if I didn't say something else. Do you want to listen to what I've been through during this time?"
"I want to hear it!" Sasha said without hesitation, looking at Lin Mo eagerly, not like a hacker, but like a little girl exploring unknown mysteries.
Lin Mo smiled, cleared his throat, and began to slowly talk about his experiences in China, and he deliberately omitted some of the more secretive things.
He studied hard in China and became a researcher at Kangtao, and contributed his share in the development of the Qiandi 5 Sian Westan...
Sasha listened quietly, not daring to say another word.
It wasn't until Lin Mo finished explaining everything that she couldn't help but ask:
"So the refinery explosion and the attack on Kang Tao's CEO at the live broadcast...were all caused by that AI?"
"Well, that's right. The reason why I'm still here is also related to it. I won't leave Shenyang until I solve it. In addition, I also need to find two hackers to teach me how to operate in cyberspace.
Fighting methods, that's why I posted the commission on the app... I just didn't expect that the applicants would be you and Lucy..." Lin Mo sighed.
"By the way, where is Lucy? Why didn't she come with you?" Lin Mo suddenly reacted and asked in confusion.
He had some suspicions before that the two applicants were from the same group, but now it seems that his suspicions were indeed correct.
As expected, there is no such coincidence in the world. The two applicants are both foreign friends. The messages they sent were almost replied to instantly, and the agreed meeting times were cleverly separated... These coincidences all confirmed his guess.
But what he didn't expect was that the two applicants were actually acquaintances.
In this case, why did Lucy ask him to meet at night?... And why is there no sign of Rebecca yet? Why don't we all meet together at a party?
"I'll tell you about this later, but speaking of the accident at the refinery, Lin Mo, do you want to know how we found you?" Sasha cleverly changed the subject.
Lin Mo frowned and thought for a while, then finally twitched the corner of his mouth and guessed helplessly:
"You must have been attracted here by the news about the oil refinery explosion."
After thinking about it, the only place where he showed his weakness was in this first accident.
"You guessed it! It was when we saw the news that we chose to come to Shenyang. Then we thought that with your temperament, you would definitely leave traces on the app that helps others, so Lucy and I went to the app
I searched for clues and found you." Sasha said briskly:
"But before we chatted, Lucy and I were just guessing about your identity, and the evidence that really made us sure was when you clicked on that link..."
"Is that link really a golem virus?" Lin Mo's eyes widened.
Sasha's mouth curved with joy, and she nodded happily, and then she even laughed out loud before she could hold back.
Lin Mo patted his head and couldn't help but feel that he was smarter than ever.
Until now, he could more or less analyze it. The purpose of the golem hidden in that link was not to steal anything from his computer, but simply to use the camera to capture his face!
"Sorry, if I made you angry, can you forgive me?" Sasha clasped his hands together, lowered his head and moved his eyes upward, secretly observing Lin Mo's expression.
However, Lin Mo didn't seem to mean to make a fuss about this matter. He just waved his hands in distress and said:
"It's just a small matter, but it's getting late, so let's stop chatting here. Let's talk about business first."
As soon as these words came out, the soft smile that always hung on the corner of Sasha's mouth gradually became calmer, and the light in her clear eyes was like a rainbow after the rain that was gradually obscured by dark clouds.
Knew it...
No matter how he created a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, no matter how much he pretended that it was a date between the two of them, he had no intention of doing so, and the final conversation between the two of them would inevitably tend to be about "business."
It's time to end it...Compared to Lucy, she had been running away for a long time, and she could meet him at noon, and the first person he let him see was herself.
But this can't be regarded as sneaking away...after all, it was discussed in advance.
Besides, she was obviously the one who came first...
In the end, Sasha didn't say anything more, just hummed softly, turned her head and looked out the window. It was still dusk and sunset, and half of the sun had sunk below the sea level.
In her field of vision, the time at this time was clearly displayed.
In fact, in order to choose suitable clothes and makeup, she was actually late when she arrived at the restaurant, which made Lin Mo arrive here in advance. She should have arrived first in the beginning.
Now that we have been chatting for so long and talking so much, it is already past 4 p.m.
It's not long until dinner time at six o'clock.
Is it really going to end like this...
"Actually, the main purpose of my coming here today is..."
"Don't talk about this yet, I have a gift for you now!"
Suddenly, Sasha turned her head abruptly, as if she had made up her mind, and stared at Lin Mo with extremely firm yet shy eyes.
She stretched out a finger and gently touched her lips, looking into Lin Mo's eyes, which were full of soft light:
"I'll tell you in advance that you won't refuse later."
"What gift?" Lin Mo was stunned.
Even though he has extraordinary intelligence, he cannot guess what gifts in this world he would reject.
It can't be some disgusting gift. With Sasha's temperament, it's impossible for him to do such a prank.
And she doesn't seem to have anywhere to put anything on her body.
"That's it." The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly leaned forward across the table between them, with a seductive blush on her cheeks.
She kissed Lin Mo's lips like a dragonfly touching water.
Lin Mo:!
This process is so slow in the eyes of the male protagonist. His reaction is far better than that of ordinary people. He can clearly see the countless changes in the woman's face in less than a second. The slightly narrowed eyes reveal
The shame that emerged was like the dewdrops flowing on the bamboo leaves, shining infinitely. Xiafei's cheeks were also like the setting sun, and those two peach-colored lips also made him realize that the woman specially applied lipstick today, and she must be a woman.
For those who please themselves, let them be tolerated.
In this short millisecond, the man who is accustomed to walking in the cracks of time is fully capable of avoiding it, but he did not do so until the end. Sasha's words just echoed in his mind, until the soft lips were close to each other, and the fragrance filled his nostrils.
Soft lips and soft body.
Her lips were hot, as if they had been brewing for a long time before they felt warm and tender at the moment of contact. Even though the sea breeze was cold, it could not dissipate the enthusiasm at the moment.
After a while, the lips separated.
The blush on Sasha's face had spread to her ears. She silently glanced to the side, her breathing was a little quick, and her words were slightly trembling as she said:
"If you have any serious matters, let's wait until later. In my current state, I can't take your words into my head."
"Go find her, don't forget that there will be others waiting for you in the future."
Lin Mo lowered his eyes and didn't make any reply. He just pressed his chest with his hand and could clearly feel his heart beating powerfully for the first time without fighting.
