When I got home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
The moon hung in the dark sky. Under the bright moonlight, the brightly lit manor in the distance was like a bright lighthouse in the vast sea. The vegetation on the surrounding hillsides was dim, rustling in the breeze, a feeling of returning home after a long absence.
Emotions rose in Lin Mo's heart inexplicably.
After getting out of the car, with the polite farewell of the bald AI, the taxi slowly left here. Lin Mo came to the electronic gate and pressed the door open button.
The slightly cool night breeze blew by, making Lin Mo suddenly feel a chill.
He stood alone in front of the gate, looking up at the steel door that was three to four meters high, and suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
After a long time, the gate did not move at all.
Lin Mo fell silent and stood blankly at the door of his manor, like a delinquent boy who stayed out all night and was turned away by his parents.
After a long time, he walked to the communication device next to the door, pressed the doorbell, and whispered into the phone:
"Sister, it's me, please open the door."
More than a minute passed, still no response.
Lin Mo raised his head and looked at the camera placed on top of the gate.
I saw that the camera was also pointed at him.
"Sister, I'm a little cold outside..."
Lin Mo pondered for a while and then used a pitiful tone.
After a few seconds, the electronic gate clicked and slowly opened.
Lin Mo sighed and walked inside silently.
The manor was quieter than before tonight. Although the lights in the villa not far away were bright, these lights did not bring much warmth to Lin Mo. The combat robots that usually patrolled the manor were also missing.
In the parking lot in the distance, a floating car is parked there quietly. The car has an elegant streamlined appearance. The silver-gray style seems to blend into the night sky, like an owl hiding in the night sky. The vehicle
The outer shell is as smooth as a mirror, with no trace of crude decoration visible.
In such a luxurious and expensive car, only his sister can ride it in the family.
Walking to the door of the villa, Lin Mo tried to press the door switch, but this time it opened smoothly.
The "seed" chip in the finger successfully connected to the house's built-in network. After matching the identity, the thick wooden door slowly opened.
At the entrance hall, Xu Wanxue leaned against the wall, with the hall as bright as day behind her. The ceiling was dotted with glass lamps like stars, elegant yet stylish.
Seeing Lin Mo enter the door, Xu Wanxue said nothing, but her eyes seemed to have finished speaking.
She stretched out her hand hidden behind her back and threw the cold-proof cotton coat on Lin Mo.
Lin Mo:......
He always felt that the scene before him had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
If my sister had thrown away not cotton-padded clothes, but various changes of laundry pants and bedding, and then shouted "There is no place for you in this family anymore", then the sense of déjà vu would be even stronger.
"I'm sorry, sister, I shouldn't have come back so late."
Lin Mo had no choice but to give in first. After all, it was his fault in the first place.
However, Xu Wanxue did not appreciate it and remained silent. She just looked at Lin Mo, stretched out her jade hand and hooked her fingers, signaling him to follow her, and then walked upstairs.
Lin Mo had no choice but to follow her obediently, silently looking at Xu Wanxue's back. Even the loose pajamas could not hide her graceful figure. Her body that became more mature with the years was enough to make any man have different feelings.
daydream.
Yes, Lin Mo also imagined some pictures without any boundaries.
For example: Xu Wanxue is holding a stick as thick as a baby's arm and is eager to teach him a lesson;
Or you can take him back to the bedroom, let him pick out some clothes for daily use, and let him sleep on the lawn of the manor tonight.
But these imaginations did not happen after all. Xu Wanxue just took him to the small kitchen on the second floor.
The architectural structure of the villa is "narrow at the bottom and wide at the top". The area of the second floor is larger than the first floor. This is also their unique architectural structure.
The reason is also because their home is located halfway up the mountain in the North Oak District.
Standing on the second floor of the villa and looking into the distance, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Night City. No matter how depressed your emotions are, they can be relieved at that moment, making you feel relaxed and happy.
Therefore, when the villa was built, a small kitchen was also set up on the second floor. After cooking, you can bring it to the large balcony outside the house. You can sit on the rattan chairs to eat while enjoying the night view of the city in the distance.
With the cool night breeze blowing, the endless starry sky is above your head. In winter, you can also enjoy the snow scenery. If you have nothing to do, you can even go to the outdoor swimming pool on the balcony to swim.
That's right, when she first got the villa design drawings, Xu Wanxue insisted that there must be a swimming pool, but she couldn't decide whether to build it outdoors or on the balcony on the second floor indoors.
After struggling for a long time, Xu Wanxue finally waved her hand.
Not only is a swimming pool built next to the villa, there is also a small swimming pool built on the large balcony on the second floor, with a hot spring function. When needed, there is enough warm water for the owner to take a dip even in winter.
After getting along for so many years, due to Lin Mo's strong autonomy, no matter how gentle and pleasant Xu Wanxue was, she would inevitably get sulky.
But every time she was angry for Lin Mo, she was able to resolve the negative emotions well and took Lin Mo to the second floor to have dinner together.
The private bar in the lobby on the second floor is filled with expensive wines, but they are just for decoration. The music cabinet plays elegant music, and no matter how stuffy the atmosphere is, it will dissipate with the breeze of the night.
Familiar memories came to mind again, and Lin Mo came back to his senses. He was already sitting on the rattan chair on the balcony on the second floor. The glass table was filled with dinner prepared by Xu Wanxue.
I took a casual taste with my chopsticks, and sure enough it was still the familiar taste in my memory.
A coke flavor fills the mouth.
"Do you know why I'm angry?"
Looking at the bustling scene of the Night City in the distance as bright as day, Xu Wanxue held a tall wine glass in her hand, and the wine inside was rippling with her hand.
"Because I came back late." Lin Mo pulled the vegetables and managed to find some meat that hadn't been cooked yet.
"Are you pretending to be stupid or confused?" Xu Wanxue chuckled and took a sip of red wine.
Lin Mo still didn't answer with a sense of luck.
"Tell the truth, my brother, are you relying on me not to do anything to you, so you trample on my bottom line again and again?"
Xu Wanxue placed the wine glass on the table, stretched her hands on the table, and stared directly at Lin Mo.
It is obviously a line that makes people feel extremely cold when they see it, but when it comes out of Xu Wanxue's mouth, it is so resentful.
She waited for Lin Mo's answer and did not explain what her "bottom line" was.
Because she knew very well that both parties in this conversation understood.
A lady named Xu Wanxue, her only bottom line is Lin Mo.
"Sister, I've grown up." Lin Mo sighed and put down the chopsticks in his hands.
"Yes, I know. As a sister, I naturally understand that my brother is different from other people of the same age. You have a very precocious mind. Many times I even think that the immature appearance on your face is just your disguise, but you are still
My brother, this will never change no matter what."
"Lin Mo, promise me you won't do such dangerous things in the future, okay?" At the end of the sentence, Xu Wanxue's words almost changed to a pleading tone.
Lin Mo looked at the night city in the distance, which was as magnificent as blooming stamens, and said silently: "I will try my best."
"Then tell me, sister, what exactly do you want? Is there anything else in Night City that your sister and I can't buy?"
Lin Mo looked at her face. Even though she was about to turn 30, his sister was still full of charming charm. The years had not left many traces on her face. It was as if it was God's will that beauty should not
Declined by time.
But now, this charming face looks a little haggard due to many days of overtime work, and also has a bit of melancholy because of his brother's carelessness.
"Sister, I want to be Night City... No, I want to be a legend in this world!"
