CHAPTER XXV
"David!"
David, who was just about to go to school, turned around and saw his mother waving to him.
Now, the house he lives in has changed, David now lives in a bigger place, the floor is higher, and the security will be better, don't you see that there are two strips patrolling around every day downstairs?
Although I haven't been able to move out of Santo Domingue completely, it's a good place.
Now I live here and Heywood, the Civic Center, but to be closer to the latter, after all, if you are close to Heywood, it is not a good thing...
As for why she didn't move out of Santo Domingo completely, it was because Gloria thought that it would be best to either move directly to the nearest place, or stay in a similar place, otherwise the Schönbrunn district, the valley area, Little Chinatown, Kabuki district and other places would be no different from the valley area of Santo Domingo.
In the past, David might have talked back to Gloria about this, but now, David won't.
Mom is right, she has been at the bottom for decades, she has been in Santo Domingue since she was a child, she knows better than David what kind of city Night City is, there are indeed places that are relatively safe, but absolutely safe? There is no such thing as absolute safety in Night City, and places like Charter Hill and North Oaks are not absolutely safe.
But... The North Oak District is indeed very safe, the place is strictly forbidden to gangs and poor people, there is strict scrutiny, and there are a lot of guards.
Alien to the rest of Night City, it is an exclusive area for the upper class of Night City.
"Come here, I have something to ask you."
David ran up in a few steps, then looked down at Gloria.
"You've really grown a lot taller..."Gloria looked up at David, in just two or three months, David has grown a lot taller, and he has also grown a lot stronger, looking... It's also much more mature.
But as soon as Gloria thought so, David smiled and tilted his head, and said, "Huh? I also feel like I'm getting taller, I used to be about the same height as you, but now. David held out his hand and looked at the height difference between himself and Gloria.
"Mom, I'm almost half a head taller than you."
"Listen to you, are you disgusted with me for being short now?" Gloria helped David tidy up the collar of his school uniform and said angrily.
"No, no, how could it be." David immediately shook his head.
"Why are you coming back late lately lately? What the hell did you and Lin Wen do? Is it really just to go to training? Gloria glanced at Lin Wen on the side, he was wearing his yellow overalls, he was wearing a large coat on him but it looked like a tight vest, Lin Wen was more than one meter tall, he looked thin but had a well-proportioned body, and he was really a walking clothes rack.
He looks good in anything.
Gloria blushed at thought.
"Well, it's training. I can't say more, can I? David turned his head to look at Lin Wen behind him.
"Gloria, you said you didn't want to ask me about David and me." Lin Wen nodded and added.
"Might I really not ask?" Gloria rolled her eyes angrily, touched the red lines under her eyes, and grimaced.
Retracting her gaze at Lin Wen, Gloria reached out and patted the collar of David's school uniform vigorously, and said softly: "In short, you, pay more attention to safety..."
Didn't do anything...
Didn't do anything, didn't do anything, how could you be reported on the news?
Didn't do anything, how did the mercenaries and the middlemen know that two strange guys had appeared in Heywood?
Didn't do anything, didn't do anything, how did you get on the black and white bounty list? Although the amount is not very high.
Gloria has a lot of ways, she comes into contact with all kinds of people in Night City, including many rich people, and a mercenary gang like Mann, Gloria knows a dozen of them, so it will be difficult for her to know some things in the road and in the circle?
But...
Yes, she agreed, and during this period, she didn't ask Lin Wen and David what they were doing, so David was willing to continue to concentrate on school.
Gloria was a little irritated and speechless at the thought of this.
She originally thought that David was going to follow Lin Wen out to train for a few days, such a hard training, David would not be able to persevere, because although David did not make a generous move, Gloria never let David be wronged, she thought that he couldn't bear this hardship, but now... Even though he was wearing the uniform of the Aradist Academy, he couldn't hide the bulging muscles.
She thought that after seeing the real life at the bottom of Night City, David would be willing to go to the wilderness to study and fight for an insurance for his future, but it turned out that David came back later and later at night, and sometimes he could see the healed scars on David's body the next day.
Gloria knew that Lin Wen had a special healing ability, and Lin Wen had used this ability on her, but... Her knife wound of a few centimeters at that time could heal perfectly without leaving a scar, but what about David's body? Scarred... Although it will be eliminated later, if you can leave a scar, you can know that David's injury is not small.
Gloria's irritability now is not that David doesn't listen to her, but that David is always hurt.
I don't know what other mothers think of Gloria, but she will feel sorry for it.
"I see." David nodded obediently.
"It's so troublesome to go to school..."Lin Wen muttered beside him.
Lin Wen said to David: "Let's go, run to school, the kind that arrives in one breath." ”
"I know, isn't there still time? You always rush me to do something. ”
David and Lin Wen muttered out the door, and after the two left, Gloria was lying on the sofa barefoot, lazily leaning on the soft pillow, she squinted her eyes, planning to see Mewtwo first.
Woo! Certainly not Black Mewtwo! It's a serious, serious kind of Mewtwo!
After being free, Gloria suddenly wanted to experience the life of the planet in Mewtwo, I heard that the feeling that can be experienced on each planet is different, but it's okay, I don't know if I can have a good experience on the planet Mewtwo bought by dozens of euros... But Gloria plans to try it first.
She's still not used to buying things for herself.
And like Mewtwo, the difference between the upper and lower limits of the price is too big!
A few hundred euros for a good one, a few euros for a few euros, a dozen euros, and of course, I don't dare to buy a bad one, after all, the devil knows if there is a virus in it...
Don't look at Mewtwo picked up on the street, don't look at it, don't look at it!
It's going to be gag!
I held up the small bag and looked at it, and there was a dark red picture of the planet on it.
After disassembling it, Gloria grabbed the chip with her fingers and lifted her neck, she first picked up her fine red hair, and then inserted the chip into the card slot, and the brain computer began to read the chip data, and Gloria's eyes began to turn yellow.
"Wow..."
Miss Married Woman, who is in her thirties and has children who are almost adults, made a shocked sound, and she subconsciously stretched out her hand to grope in front of her,
Gloria's legs tensed, her fair toes tapped tightly against the couch, and finally, little by little, the front of her feet sank into the soft couch cracks.
Shocked, excited, and joyful, Gloria finally understood why David liked to watch Mewtwo.
How did she not know that Mewtwo was really that funny?
Oh... In the past, I had to work every day, and when I was done with work, I would fall asleep, so I had time to watch Mewtwo?
Well, since the men in the family are now unwilling to take care of her one by one and are doing their own thing, then she is also going to start a new life!
Anyway, David is going to be an adult, so it will be good to get out when the time comes, and then he and Lin Wen will live a two-person life...
Miss Wife doesn't want to be a dead house?
No, it will.
I worked hard for David for the first half of my life, and now that he has grown up, can't I enjoy it yet?!!
