Chapter 406 Cyberpunk World (21)
Through the crystal glass and the wine inside, Gong Jiushao noticed Yu Ci's momentary drop in mood. He slightly increased the strength of his fingertips gripping the glass, and with a short crisp sound, the goblet broke into two.
Yu Ci's originally depressed eyes instantly focused on Gong Jiushao's fingertips, wanting to see if she was okay.
The wine glass that made the sound was intact. Gong Jiushao seemed to have a telepathic connection with her and removed his fingertips from the glass, revealing the entire glass body.
Yu Ci felt relieved and frowned for a moment, thinking that the subtle sound she had just heard was an illusion.
Is it because the pressure is too great?
Looking at the red-haired beauty opposite, she rested one hand on her chin and admired her carefully...
Could it be that the pressure is too great, with such a beautiful sister... No, according to age, I should be a thousand years older than her and cannot call her sister.
If she still feels stressed when eating with such a beautiful woman, then she might as well find a piece of tofu pudding and kill herself.
"What is Miss Yu looking at?"
"I'm looking at you. What's wrong? Miss Gong is allowed to look at me, but I'm not allowed to look at you?" She raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of playfulness.
"So...what was Miss Yu thinking about just now?" Gong Jiushao was curious about the reason for her sadness at that moment, but he also felt that it might have something to do with him.
She had an almost intuitive understanding of Yu Ci, as if it was an instinct engraved in her soul, and her consciousness followed her joys and sorrows.
It's really... magical.
Gong Jiushao thought to himself, is this what is called love?
"I just..." Yu Ci's eyes flashed with sadness for a moment, but she quickly concealed it, "...I was thinking about an old friend."
The past should not be recalled. If you want to pursue someone, should you make it clear at the beginning to avoid conflicts in the future?
Yu Ci's thoughts turned around, and she tapped the glass twice with her fingertips, making a crisp sound. The wine rippled in circles, and after hitting the wall of the glass, it returned to the center and gathered, tumbling endlessly.
Just like her emotions that were fluctuating at the moment.
"Old friend?" Gong Jiushao had guessed that the other party was probably talking about himself. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt sad and gloomy in his heart.
"Yes..." Yu Ci repeated it, this time more crisp and direct than the last time, but with less emotion.
"An old friend I've known for a long time."
"Is she important?" Gong Jiushao asked tentatively. She opened her lips slightly and her tone was not too up and down, just like a qualified listener, making people unable to help but scatter their emotions all over the floor.
Give it to her to sift through.
"She is very important, very important to this world..." Yu Ci slowly relaxed her body and leaned back on the one-piece art chair with silver metal thread, with her neck just resting on the automatic heating cushion.
His eyes were a little confused, but his tone was calm and rational.
"What about you?" Gong Jiushao threw out the topic at the right time.
"It's...very important." Yu Ci's voice was a little low, "But not very important anymore. She is like a tree growing in my life. Even if it withers, the roots, branches, and leaves will still rot in my heart and become a part of me.
"She is my teacher, my guard, my partner, my friend, my superior, my sister, and my life and death companion..."
"Actually, it's quite difficult to describe her with words." Yu Ci said this with a somewhat helpless smile, the corners of her mouth were clearly raised, but the corners of her eyes were slightly drooping.
long silence.
She said: "She saved me and brought me a lot, I am very grateful to her..."
Yu Ci didn’t know how to treat the other person. She couldn’t hate, let alone love. They were no longer friends, not master and apprentice, not partners, not superiors and subordinates, and certainly not... lovers.
Many, many times, when things around her became quiet, she would begin to reflect and comfort herself.
For a god who has lived for countless generations, more than a thousand years is indeed insignificant, like a cup of water falling into the ocean, not even a splash.
As a fair and just god, love does not seem to be suitable for her. Besides, she has done a good job. The world is now much calmer and peaceful, with fewer mosquitoes, taskers and plunderers.
Situations like hers where she was suddenly kidnapped by the system were gradually decreasing. She was doing very well and was a qualified main god.
Precisely because she did so well and so well, Yu Ci fell deeper and deeper into her own predicament.
Her love is filled with covetousness for the main god who maintains the stability of the world. It seems to deviate from the main theme of the entire universe and is not worthy of being on the table.
It’s just that the past is too profound, she can’t forget it, she really... can’t forget it.
"Well... I am very grateful to her." Yu Ci took a deep breath, picked up the remaining cup on the table, drank it all, and said nothing more.
Gong Jiushao sat opposite, Yu Ci's face reflected in his golden pupils. It was quiet and decadent, like a small mushroom quietly rotting in the dark.
When she heard Yu Ci say thank you to her, her five fingers began to tremble slightly, and the numbing pain crushed her.
Even the subconscious habitual human breathing stopped, and the person sat there quietly like a sculpture.
This is not an analysis of Yu Ci's inner world, but a judgment of her.
"I..." Gong Jiushao opened her mouth, her golden pupils blurred. She wanted to speak but didn't know where to start. A tear fell on her somewhat cold face, and she reached out to catch it.
"? Miss Gong, what's wrong with you?" Yu Ci sat up straight and looked over. Seeing the other party's cold and tearful expression, she was a little confused, but she also put her years of experience as a doctor to use and quickly took Gong Jiushao's pulse.
There was a fear that she had some disease. In this era, many people transformed themselves into cyborgs. Occasionally, those circuit components would get out of control and cause the cyborg to malfunction, becoming crazy, stupid, crying, or laughing.
At this point, you either have to have money to repair it, or it will be destroyed and recycled.
Otherwise it will affect the stability and security of the city.
After taking the pulse with her fingertips, Yu Ci looked at the other party with a suspicious look, frowned slightly, and asked: "Miss Gong, is there something bothering you?"
Could it be that the other person, like me, has an ex that he or she can't forget?
Gong Jiushao was silent for a long time. Just when Yu Ci thought she didn't want to talk, she slowly said, "I hurt someone's heart and I don't know how to apologize."
"Hmm? Why don't you tell me? If it's convenient." Yu Ci became curious for a moment, and she also wanted to find out the other party's situation.
"I... have a wife..." As soon as she said this, Yu Ci's hand was pulled back like a spring.
A married woman!
She couldn't touch that.
The corners of Gong Jiushao's lips became even tighter, his brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes looked at Yu Ci with the eagerness and hope of a puppy.
