When I got home, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

The moon hung on the dark sky, the brightly lit manor in the distance under the bright moonlight was like a bright lighthouse in the vast sea, the vegetation on the surrounding hillsides was dim, and there was a rustling sound in the breeze, and a feeling of returning home after a long absence from his hometown rose inexplicably in Lin Mo's heart.

Getting out of the car, with the bald AI's polite goodbye, the taxi slowly left here, and Lin Mo came to the electronic gate and pressed the door button.

The slightly cool night breeze blew, making Lin Mo suddenly feel a trace of coldness.

He stood alone in front of the gate, looking up at the steel door, which was three or four meters high, and suddenly felt a little bad in his heart.

After a long time, the gate did not move at all.

Lin Mo was silent, standing at the door of his manor in a daze, like a delinquent teenager who didn't return home at night and was rejected by his parents.

After a long time, he walked to the communication device next to the door, pressed the doorbell, and whispered into the microphone:

"Sister, it's me, please open the door."

After another minute or so, there was 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 aimed at him.

"Sister, I'm a little cold outside..."

Lin Mo pondered for a while, and then used a pitiful tone slightly.

After a few seconds, the electronic gate clicked and slowly opened.

Lin Mo sighed and walked inside silently.

Tonight's manor was quieter than before, although the villa not far away was brightly lit, but these lights did not bring much warmth to Lin Mo, and the combat robots that patrolled around the manor on weekdays were gone.

In the parking lot in the distance, a floating car is quietly parked there, the model is an elegant appearance of the assembly line, the silver-gray style seems to be integrated into this night sky, like a bird hidden in the night sky, the vehicle shell is smooth as a mirror, and there is no trace of crude decoration.

Such a luxurious and expensive car, only his sister can ride in the family.

Walking to the door of the villa, Lin Mo tried to press the door switch, but this time it was able to open smoothly.

The "seed" chip in the finger smoothly connected to the house's built-in network, and after matching the identity, the thick wooden door slowly opened.

At the entrance of the gate, Xu Wanxue leaned against the wall, and behind her was the hall as bright as the day, and the ceiling was dotted with glass lamps like stars, elegant and stylish.

Seeing Lin Mo enter the door, Xu Wanxue didn't say anything, but her eyes seemed to have finished everything.

She stretched out her hand hidden behind her and threw the cold-proof cotton clothes on her hand to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo: ......

He always felt that the scene in front of him had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

If your sister throws away not cotton clothes, but a variety of changes of clothes and bedding, and then shouts "There is no place for you in this house", then this sense of déjà vu will be even stronger.

"I'm sorry, sister, I shouldn't have come back so late."

Lin Mo could only give in first, after all, he was also at fault first.

However, Xu Wanxue didn't appreciate it, she still didn't speak, 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 to obediently follow behind her, silently looking at Xu Wanxue's back, the loose pajamas couldn't hide her graceful posture, and her figure, which became more mature as she grew older, was enough to make any man have different reveries.

Yes, Lin Mo is also imagining some pictures without bounds.

For example: Xu Wanxue is holding a stick with the thickness of a baby's arm and is eager to try to teach him a lesson;

Or take him back to his bedroom, and let him pick up some living clothes at will, and let him sleep on the manor's lawn tonight.

But these imaginations didn't 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", and the area of the flat floor on the second floor is larger than that on the first floor, which is also the unique architectural structure of their home.

The reason for this 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 see the scenery of the entire Night City, no matter how depressed your emotions are, you can be relieved at that moment, so you can feel relaxed.

Therefore, when the villa was built, a small kitchen was set up on the second floor, and the cooked meals were brought to the large balcony outside the house, and you could sit on a rattan chair and enjoy the night view of the city in the distance.

The cool night breeze blows overhead, the endless night starry sky overhead, and in the winter, you can enjoy the snow, and when you have nothing to do, you can go to the open-air pool on the balcony for a swim.

That's right, when she got the design of the villa in her hand, Xu Wanxue insisted that there must be a swimming pool, but she couldn't make up her mind whether to build it outdoors or on the balcony on the second floor of the interior.

So after struggling for a long time, Xu Wanxue finally waved her hand.

Not only is there a swimming pool next to the villa, but even a small pool is built on the large balcony on the second floor, with a hot spring function, and there is enough warm water for the owner to swim in when needed, even in winter.

After so many years of getting along, because Lin Mo's autonomy is too strong, no matter how gentle and pleasant Xu Wanxue is, she will inevitably sulk after all.

But every time she was angry with Lin Mo, she was able to resolve 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 but only decorative wines, and the music cabinet wafts elegant music, and even the most sullen stuff will drift away with the night breeze.

Familiar memories came back to his mind, and Lin Mo came back to his senses, he was already sitting on a rattan chair on the balcony on the second floor, and the glass table was full of Xu Wanxue's dinner cooked quietly.

I tasted it casually with chopsticks, and sure enough, it was still a familiar taste in my memory.

A coke flavor permeates the mouth.

"Do you know why I'm angry?"

Looking at the bright and prosperous scene of the Night City in the distance, Xu Wanxue held a goblet in her hand, and the wine in it was rippling with her hand.

"Because I'm late to return." Lin Mo pulled the vegetables, barely finding some meat and vegetables that had not yet been burned

"Are you playing dumb, or are you playing dumb?" Xu Wanxue smiled and took a sip of red wine.

Lin Mo still didn't answer with a fluke mentality.

"Let's be honest, 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 put the wine glass on the table, propped her hands on the table, and stared at Lin Mo with her eyes.

is obviously a line that makes people feel extremely indifferent when they see it, but it is so resentful when it comes out of Xu Wanxue's mouth.

She waited for Lin Mo's answer, and did not explain what her "bottom line" was.

Because she knew very well that both sides of the 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 hand.

"Yes, I know, as an older sister, I naturally know that my brother is different from other peers, you are very precocious, and even many times I think that the immature appearance on your face is just your disguise, but you are still my brother, and this will not change no matter what."

"Lin Mo, promise me not to do such a dangerous thing in the future, is it okay?" In the end, 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 a blooming stamen, and said silently, "I'll try my best." ”

"Then tell my sister, what exactly do you ask for? Is there anything else in Night City that I can't buy from your sister? ”

Lin Mo looked at her face, even though she was about to turn 30 years old, her sister was still full of charming charm, and the years did not leave many traces on her face, as if it was the will of the Creator, and beauty should not be ruined by time.

But now, this charming face looks a little haggard because of many days of overtime, and it is also a little melancholy because of his brother's uneasiness.

"Sister, I want to be the City of Night...... No, I want to be a legend of this world! ”
