My head felt heavier and heavier, and even the basement in my field of vision began to become crooked.

Bai Rui knew he was about to faint.

Feeling anxious cannot stop the brain from going on strike.

At the last moment before fainting, Bai Rui could only muster the last bit of strength in his fingers and dial the most familiar number.

"V, save me..."

After that, it was darkness. Even the pain of falling to the ground could not wake Bai Rui up again. The only thing left was the dial icon on the lens of the holographic glasses that fell beside his hand, which kept flashing.

"Bai Rui, what's wrong with you? Where are you? Bai Rui, tell me quickly!"

The woman's voice was hurried, and one could imagine the anxious expression on its owner's face.

But all this can no longer disturb the protagonist, Bai Rui, who has closed his eyes peacefully on the floor.

......

Strange ceiling.

Although Bai Rui wanted to say this when he opened his eyes in a trance, the ceiling in front of him was very familiar.

After blinking a few times, the memory area in his head gradually resumed working, and Bai Rui remembered everything.

I know that my last name is Bai and my given name is Rui, I am 17 years old and I come from a homeless family in Buckle.

She also has a capable sister named Valerie, but of course, she is usually called by her common name V like everyone else.

There were many more after that, Night City, friends, enemies, dangerous moments... familiar faces and familiar scenes seemed to flash through her mind quickly within a Planck time, pouring Bai Rui's consciousness back into her body.

Although it sounds very lofty.

But in fact, it is similar to the feeling of waking up after a blackout.

The only difference is that Bai Rui fainted due to low blood sugar caused by his own body.

Well, the ceiling is indeed familiar.

Nonsense, isn't this the apartment she and V live in the skyscraper?

Bai Rui didn't know how he ended up here.

Was it V who saved himself?

Bai Rui was thinking this when he turned his head and met V's blue eyes that were full of resentment.

V was leaning on the sofa at this time, looking at the bed with dim eyes, staring at Bai Rui with a face full of resentment.

Bai Rui was even stunned for a moment when she saw this scene, but she quickly realized why V had such a hopeless expression.

Uh, it seems to be because of her.

That's fine.

Thinking of his own stupid behavior, Bai Rui guiltily pulled the quilt over his head.

"Some people, stop pretending to be asleep when you wake up."

V's resentful words exposed Bai Rui's intention to play the ostrich.

"Hey, good evening, Miss V."

Seeing that pretending to be an ostrich was ineffective, Bai Rui sat up from the bed with a sullen smile.

V, still with a frown on his face, picked up the plate on the table and walked over. The plate was full of bulging buns and even two burritos filled with beef cubes.

It must have been bought at the night market stall downstairs, and it was still steaming.

Only the people of Night City are used to this kind of mixed food combination. For them, there is nothing that cannot be eaten together.

"Hehe, thank you Sister V, my sister still loves me."

It’s okay, V. If there’s something wrong, Sister V. This is Bai Rui’s usual strategy.

At this moment, knowing how stupid she had done, she smiled sweetly, looking well-behaved, not giving V any chance to scold her.

"Oh, you, you, I don't know what to say."

Looking at Bai Rui, who was so well-behaved and smiling brighter than a flower, V finally sighed, shook his head, and forgot what he had wanted to say.

Alas, she is our own girl after all, don’t get angry, don’t get angry.

V resisted the urge to pull Bai Rui's ears and placed the plate full of food next to Bai Rui's hand.

"Eat, we'll talk later."

V pulled a chair and sat down with her hands folded, waiting for Bai Rui to finish eating before settling the bill with her.

"Uh-huh......"

Bai Rui nodded without saying anything more. The moment she saw the hot food, her mind was focused on it.

The hunger in her stomach rose up, driving her to pick up a big bun and take a big bite. Her little face was so bloated that she couldn't speak.

She had been hungry all day, and now she ate these synthetic meat-filled things made from unknown ingredients with relish. She gobbled them up so ravenously that she wished she could turn her stomach inside out and eat them all.

V, who was standing by, was extremely angry when he saw Bai Rui using both hands to eat like a hamster.

However, she finally held back and waited in silence with only the sound of Bai Rui swallowing and chewing. She even considerately handed Bai Rui a cup of water from time to time, and received his grateful eyes in response.

In the end, Bai Rui successfully finished all the food on the plate.

Then, she stroked her round belly, lay on the head of the bed with her eyes squinted contentedly, and enjoyed the tranquility after eating.

It was only then that V sneered and prepared to take action.

Chapter 158: There is no holiday adjustment in Night City!!!

"...Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Seeing V frowning, Bai Rui knew that something bad was going to happen.

As expected, V raised his long legs and began to interrogate Bai Rui who had just finished eating.

The content of the interrogation is naturally self-evident.

That's why Bai Rui was able to get himself into this state.

Looking at Bai Rui's pitiful look as he covered his head, V felt both pity and anger.

I was really scared after receiving that unclear phone call.

She thought Bai Rui was in danger, so she grabbed the gun and got in the car and drove off.

Bai Rui's last communication location was in the Beehive Building. V was so panicked that his hands were shaking.

When she activated the surveillance through the backup program left in the Hive Building and searched for several times, and saw Bai Rui lying unconscious on the ground in the basement, V felt terrible.

At that moment, she felt as if a string in her brain suddenly broke, and she stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

She couldn't quite recall now how she felt at the time.

It was as if the whole person's mind was frozen for a moment, and even the sadness was temporarily forgotten.

The only image in his mind was that of Bai Rui lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, and he had no time to think about anything else.

V didn't know how she rushed into the basement, and how she was so overjoyed and anxious when she found out that Bai Rui was still breathing that she carried her into the car and rushed into Lao Wei's clinic.

And finally.

Finally, she clearly remembered the scene where Lao Wei told Bai Rui with a strange look on his face that he fainted due to hypoglycemia.

Yeah, hypoglycemia.

If he remained unconscious for a while longer, Bai Rui would wake up on his own.

At that moment, V looked at Bai Rui, who was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed on the operating chair, and wished he could strangle her to death with his own hands.

Of course, this is fantasy time.

In fact, the moment V learned that Bai Rui was fine, he collapsed to the ground like a collapsed building block, and V was so scared that he almost went to find a spare operating chair.

Knowing that Bai Rui was fine, V relaxed as if a stone had fallen from her body. It was not until she sat down on the chair that she realized her hands and feet were shaking and she couldn't stop them.

This situation barely dissipated until just now.

V admitted that he was frightened, without a doubt.

When the image of Bai Rui lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, suddenly appeared in his eyes, just like the nightmares he had dreamed of before, V realized that reality was a hundred times more tragic than dreams.

She simply couldn't accept a world without Bai Rui.

At that second, she felt like the whole world was shattered in front of her.

Everything in my field of vision turned grayish white, and even the sounds around me could not be heard clearly, as if there was a thick wall between them.

Until Bai Rui fell asleep on the bed with calm breathing, V kissed and caressed Bai Rui's cheeks, forehead, and ears over and over again.

Feeling Bai Rui's rising and falling breath and her strong heartbeat, and clearly realizing that Bai Rui was still alive in this world, V slowly came to his senses.

Everything around me slowly returned to normal.

It was as if a drowning person was rescued and returned to the world of the living.

So, looking at Bai Rui, who is now full of energy, looking apologetic and sincerely admitting her mistakes, V really wants to grab her and spank her.

At that moment, she really thought she had lost Bai Rui.

But in the end, all of V's anger and frustration turned into a sigh.

In silence, V extended his hand towards Bai Rui.

Bai Rui, feeling guilty, thought he was going to be hit on the head when he saw V extending his hand.

That is to close your eyes immediately and wait quietly for the judgment of fate.

But in the end, she only felt V's five fingers gently caressing her head.

Eh? I didn't get beaten.

Bai Rui opened his eyes in confusion.

When I opened my eyes, I saw V's blue eyes that were full of pity, warmth and tolerance like the tranquil ocean tide.

After gazing at Bai Rui's fair face for a while with mixed feelings, V lifted the strands of hair on Bai Rui's forehead and kissed him gently with his eyes closed.

V pursed his lips, but did not leave.

Instead, he hugged Bai Rui with both hands, closed his eyes and felt the warmth in his arms.

It’s great that Bai Rui is still here.

Bai Rui was also moved by the tenderness of his good sister and put his arms around V's waist.

She buried her little head in V's neck peacefully, closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth of V's arms.

Sometimes lovers don’t need so many words, a warm hug can make their hearts communicate.

"...Bai Rui, tell me, why do you push yourself so hard? Why do I always feel that your heart is full of worries?"

Within the distance of love, the other person's scent, breathing, and even heartbeat are so clear, as if they have merged into one with oneself and become a part of oneself.

In silence, V and Bai Rui started whispering to each other.

Bai Rui's heart moved when he heard V's words that were steaming in his ears.

V actually saw through it.

Of course V could see it, after all, she also watched Bai Rui grow up.

When something is wrong with Bai Rui, she might notice it faster than Bai Rui himself.

Therefore, in every detail of life, she noticed that Bai Rui was so anxious that he couldn't wait to strengthen the power of the hive.

But V didn't know why.

What on earth could have forced Bai Rui to be so anxious?

"Bai Rui, I don't know what kind of trouble has made you work so hard, but I just want you to know that I will always be by your side and support you."

"When you encounter troubles that you can't handle, remember that you still have me as your sister to rely on. You are not alone, Bai Rui. I will always be by your side."

Since Bai Rui didn't intend to say what trouble she had encountered or what she had seen, V didn't ask any more questions. She just expressed her attitude.

She will always be by Bai Rui's side, just like she always was before.
