Chapter 12: Relaxation

Late at night.

Lizzy Bar, basement computer room.

Judy took off the Mewtwo ring and rubbed her somewhat sour eyes.

She had just finished a day's work, and she finally finished editing the latest Mewtwo, and she was almost finishing her work.

Inspired by the accident at the company square, this Mewtwo is in the spotlight for a hearty and bloody battle with company dogs dressed in various company uniforms, which is exciting just to think about.

After finishing this Mewtwo edit, Judy plans to go to the lake hut to relax for a few days according to the old rules, but she feels that she is a little bored, so she thinks of Gloria.

Judy yawned, stretched, got up from the stool, moved her muscles a little, and went back to work, trying to get everything done in one go.

Judy noticed that Gloria seemed to be in a low mood these days, and she hadn't even come to work the other day, and guessed that she might have been troubled.

Due to the impact of the power outage, the bar has not had much business during this time, so you can take this opportunity to go out and change your mood.

At this time.

Upstairs, the bar lobby is closed, and after the waiter has sent off the few customers, Gloria plans to go home from work.

She sat at the bar, smiled and said goodbye to the waiters, watching them leave.

After the others left, the huge hall of the Lizzy Bar was also cleared, and only the fluorescent purple light was still on, leaving a large area of darkness.

Gloria rubbed her stiff shoulder bones, her gaze sinking gradually.

Instead of packing up and leaving, as usual, she sat at the bar and lost her mind, as if she was a little preoccupied.

I thought about it for a moment.

Gloria got up and walked to the bar, looking up and counting the wines on the wine cabinet.

Tonight, she wanted to drink two glasses to herself.

She pulled out an empty glass and pulled out the drinks and beverages, as well as the crushed ice, the mixology tools neatly arranged on the table.

Since working as a hostess at the Lizzy Bar, she has also learned how to mix bartending a few times, mainly for her own special recipes.

"Spirits as a base, a little spicy, a little sweeter, and a little lime sour, and finally mixed with warm white boils..."

Gloria's own invention of water wine was born, which is both a drink and a relief from sorrow.

She picked up the glass of wine and looked at it for a while, but never took it into her mouth.

After a while, she put down her glass and touched her slightly bulging belly, which was not yet very obvious, but it already felt like life was pulsating.

Gloria hadn't touched wine since she knew about it, and even if she had made it herself, she hadn't tasted a drop.

She took out a new cup sideways, took out the kettle and filled the first half cup of warm water, took a sip of the cup, and the warmth went straight to her heart and lungs.

Just as she was drinking tea, a voice came from the door of the bar lobby.

"It's nice to drink plenty of warm water, but is that glass of wine for me?"

Gloria was surprised to hear the familiar voice, and reluctantly turned her head to look at the door.

I saw Tang Yu wearing a plaid jacket and walking towards her, his voice and appearance were as handsome as before, but the difference was that he was not wearing a straight suit this time.

Gloria froze in place, a little at a loss for a moment, most of the water in the cup had already spilled, she didn't expect Tang Yu to appear in this way.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and her mouth opened slightly and muttered, "Tang... Mr. Tang..."

Tang Yu sat in front of the bar, picked up the glass of wine that had just been mixed, and said with a smile: "I'm still so outside, I haven't worked in the company for a long time, and now I have no job and am light." ”

Gloria was stunned, although she had already learned about this result from David, she still couldn't believe that the man in front of her would come to this point.

After all, he used to be a real company executive, and he was the hottest professional celebrity in Arasaka.

She knew why Tang Yu gave up his position of power, and she also knew his purpose for doing this, but everyone was safe, and only he endured everything.

Gloria leaned towards Tang Yu without a trace, further narrowed the distance between the two, and told Tang Yu some intelligence information from the company in an imperceptible voice.

The Arasaka Company has recently made another big move, and the Kujira Aircraft Carrier Battle Group at the Arasaka Headquarters in Kyoto is heading to Night City, and David is going to be involved in the important task of protecting the members of the Arasaka family for a safe meeting.

Tang Yu nodded, indicating that he would pay attention to this matter.

Gloria then said to Tang Yu: "Thanks to Sasha by your side recently, maybe you don't know that Sasha's original consciousness awakened that day... If it weren't for her..."

After listening to Gloria's story, Tang Yu knew that the current Sasha had completely integrated into this body.

Perhaps it was the original consciousness that wished for it, so he gave his body to Sasha as a final gift.

Now Sasha comes to Lizi every day, hoping to get any news about Tang Yu as soon as possible, but she is always disappointed.

Tang Yu pretended to sigh helplessly and said, "It seems that I have to go back early tonight, so I can't let her down again." ”

Hearing this, Gloria's eyes flashed with a strong sense of loss, but it was immediately covered up again.

Tang Yu casually picked up the wine glass and drank it all, his face showing pain.

"Shhhh This glass of wine... It's really impressive, at least I've drunk so much wine, yours is the only one. ”

Gloria's face flushed slightly, and when she saw Tang Yu unceremoniously finish drinking the wine, a little warmth gushed out inexplicably in her heart, and she couldn't help moistening her eyes.

She had rehearsed this moment countless times in her heart, imagining the scene of reuniting with Tang Yu, and vowed to welcome his return in the best condition, but at this moment, she still couldn't hold back her tears.

"Do you like it?" She asked with a smile, seemingly amused by Tang Yu's complaints.

Tang Yu smashed his mouth, put down the cup in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "How to say it, there is still room for improvement, I look forward to your better performance next time." ”

Gloria smiled.

Tang Yu stood up, stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, and said softly: "I've worked hard for you these days, I resigned from the company, and my livelihood in the future depends on you." ”

Gloria could clearly feel that Tang Yu's attitude towards her was different, maybe he had really unloaded a big burden.

She nodded seriously, and said as sincerely as ever: "I will always remember your intermediary invitation, and since that day, it has not changed. ”

Seeing the red-haired beauty's slightly shy appearance, like a ripe fresh apple, he couldn't help but want to take a bite.

Tang Yu was not verbose, he turned over and jumped into the bar directly, and copied her with both hands.

Gloria exclaimed in a low voice, "Here? ”

But before she could ask more, her mouth was blocked, and she was a little addicted and a little anxious.

"Zhu... Judy... Still working overtime down there..."

But that still didn't stop the progress.

In a hurry, she grabbed Tang Yu's hand that was leaning down, then put it on her belly, and looked at him seriously, everything was silent.

After a while, Gloria slowly crouched down, and her figure disappeared below the counter plane.

"Hmm, it's moving... It's too big... Not good..."

Basement machine room.

Judy quickly took the final step, confirmed to save the edited Mewtwo, and exited the office system.

She glanced at the time, and it was time for her to leave work.

"I guess I'm not leaving."

She hurried to her feet and walked upstairs, the dimly lit corridor light up her steps.

Judy hears some voices coming from the lobby of the bar, probably because Gloria hasn't left yet.

She turned the open gate to the hall and looked at the bar suspiciously, where she saw that Gloria seemed to be tidying up her things in the bar.

"Gloria, great, you really haven't gotten off work yet."

Gloria raised her head when she heard the sound, her cheeks flushed slightly, she quickly stood up, grabbed the cup and pretended to take a sip of water, and then said, "What's wrong?" Judy, I was just getting ready to pack my things for work. ”

Seeing that Gloria hadn't left yet, Judy hurriedly explained as she walked: "Okay, I'll go back and pack up and get off work together." ”

As she spoke, Judy walked towards the bar with faster steps: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to invite you to stay with me for two days, seeing that you may be too tired from work, you need to change your mood..."

Before she could get any closer, suddenly it was dark in front of her, and she fell asleep on the ground.

Gloria said apologetically, "I didn't expect Judy to come up suddenly." ”

Tang Yu didn't mind, and said bluntly: "I woke up after a while, and I explained that I was too busy at work and passed out under too much pressure." ”

Gloria nodded reassuringly.

After a while, I suddenly heard another shouting outside the door.

"Mom, are you still working overtime at the bar?"

Gloria raised her head and looked at Tang Yu with a weak and helpless expression, there were still a few crystal tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, her cheeks were as red as blood roses, he smiled helplessly, snapped her fingers, and resolved the movement outside.

...

In the middle of the night, Gloria had just cleaned herself up when she heard Sasha's shouts outside.

"Gloria, are you still working overtime? I'm going to have a great deal of news for you! ”

With that, Sasha walked in in a hurry, looking very excited.

She saw Gloria standing next to the bar, and there was a man lying on the table, as if she was drunk.

From the back, it looks like Judy.

Sasha looked at Judy curiously, and then her gaze fell back to Gloria, who felt a little strange inexplicably, and Gloria's face and expression seemed to be exhausted to the point of collapse.

What kind of physical work does the proprietress of the Lizzy Bar need to do? Sasha scratched her cat's head and tried to think about it, but she couldn't come up with a reason.

Sasha secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must sleep less and learn more new knowledge in the future, otherwise it would be bad when Mr. Tang came back and found that he had not made any progress and could not provide the services he needed.

Gloria quickly interrupted her line of sight to explore her research, and took the initiative to ask, "Sasha, what's wrong?" It's so late and not at home to have a good rest. ”

Sasha was suddenly reminded, immediately remembered what was going on, and explained very seriously: "Sasha went back to the apartment just now, and found that the things at home have been moved!" There are washed towels, and black bandages, which are still stained with potions and blood stains, it must be that Mr. Tang is back! ”

After speaking, Sasha put a piece of bandage on the table, and said worriedly: "Bandages, blood stains, do you think Mr. Tang is seriously injured, so he hid from us?" ”

Gloria was speechless for a moment, looking at the bandages in front of her that were almost blackened by blood stains and potions, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

She held back the emotions that surged up in her heart again, and patiently comforted: "Sasha, don't worry, Mr. Tang will be fine, have you looked carefully at home just now?" Confirm that Mr. Tang is not at home? ”

Sasha thought about it, and when she returned to the apartment, she found the anomaly, and immediately checked all the surveillance alertly, but found no trace, and ran to Lizzy's bar to find Gloria in a hurry.

Gloria reminded softly: "Then you go back and take a look, maybe Mr. Tang is resting in the room." ”

"Yes!" Sasha then understood the reason, Tang Yu had never let her into the bedroom before, so she had been in the apartment alone for so long, and she had never entered Tang Yu's bedroom, and she ran out under the inertia of her thinking.

Sasha didn't linger too long, and after saying goodbye hurriedly, he rushed towards the apartment again.

After not leaving for two seconds, Sasha ran back again, cautiously as if afraid that Gloria would be angry, and reminded softly: "I just saw David at the door, he was drunk and slept at the door of the bar!" ”

Gloria: "..."

...

Watson Little Chinatown upscale apartments.

Sasha hurriedly opened the floodgates, and the scene in front of her made her stand suddenly.

Tang Yu happened to come out of the bedroom in his pajamas, and when he saw Sasha coming back, he stepped forward and reached out and touched her head.

"Sasha, welcome home."
