“Ah~ another day is over!”
Lucy adjusted her seat back and lay down, her perfect curves on full display.
Meanwhile, Jiang Heng directly started the engine. Although it had an autopilot function, he preferred to manually control it.
He tuned the car radio to Body Heat Radio, and as the melodious music began, the car slowly started moving.
The Lai Sheng Nightclub was still a distance away from Clarendon Street. Without traffic, Jiang Heng could maintain an average speed of about 60 km/h. Of course, he could go faster, but it wouldn’t be safe.
After all, this was the city. Hitting a gang thug wouldn’t be a big deal, but hitting an ordinary person would be a different story.
Jiang Heng was not a madman who indiscriminately killed innocent people, nor was he a true cyberpsycho. This was the real world, people were living, breathing beings with blood and flesh, not just a bunch of data.
At a speed of 60 km/h, it would only take about ten minutes to get from Lai Sheng to his apartment on Clarendon Street.
However, just as Jiang Heng was driving through a few streets, the radio suddenly switched to the next song.
As soon as the music began, Jiang Heng froze, and this moment of hesitation caused his car to almost hit the roadside railing.
Screech~~~
The car braked hard, leaving a long skid mark on the road. It finally came to a stop less than half a meter from the railing.
Meanwhile, the clear singing voice continued.
I-couldnt-wait-for-you-to-come-clear-the-cupboards……
The familiar melody, the familiar lyrics, the familiar voice, as if it had flipped a switch in Jiang Heng's emotions, a wave of suppressed feelings began to brew in his chest.
This song, known by countless viewers as the "Sad Little Tune" or the "Widow's Song", was “I-Really-Want-to-Stay-at-Your-House”.
It was called the Sad Little Tune because as soon as viewers heard it, they would think of Rebecca's tragic death. The Widow’s Song referred to Lucy, who ended up going to the moon, but was alone.
Maybe listening to the song on its own was fine, but once you linked it to the anime plot, it was just a bit depressing.
It had to be said that the aftereffects of the anime “Edge Runner” were real.
Jiang Heng didn't understand why this song suddenly appeared in Night City. He had listened to Body Heat Radio many times before, but he had never heard this song, nor had he heard the famous "Buddha Jump".
It was understandable that the "Buddha Jump" didn't appear, because according to the plot, "Buddha Jump" was supposed to be released in 2077, sung by the neon band "Fierce".
But why was this song suddenly appearing now?
Jiang Heng couldn't figure it out, and he didn't really try to. His mind was filled with the image of Rebecca's tragic death and Lucy's loneliness.
He never imagined that he would be hit by a song even after crossing over to Night City. It was something Jiang Heng never expected.
…
“What’s wrong, Jiang Heng?” Lucy, naturally awakened by the sudden braking, quickly sat up and looked at Jiang Heng, asking.
Jiang Heng didn't answer. He turned his head, stared at Lucy, and then directly turned around and pressed against her!
Lucy was stunned by Jiang Heng's sudden action. Looking at him, who was so close, she felt helpless.
Also, because they were so close, she could clearly feel his heartbeat, his temperature, his breath.
All this made Lucy's head spin. She felt as if she had a fever, her whole body burning up.
“You, what are, you, doing?”
Jiang Heng still didn't answer, his actions became even more egregious. Staring at Lucy's flushed face for a moment, he lowered his head and captured her lips.
Although Jiang Heng's actions were too sudden and caught Lucy off guard, she didn't refuse. Instead, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his head.
The two kissed passionately in the car, and the temperature inside began to rise gradually.
Only when Lucy almost lost her breath did Jiang Heng finally let go.
“Lucy, I love you!”
After separating, Jiang Heng stared intently at Lucy and said.
Hearing this, Lucy was stunned, but soon she broke into a beautiful smile and replied, “Me too.”
Getting his answer, Jiang Heng also smiled. He was about to lower his head to continue kissing, but Lucy pushed him away.
“Let's go home first.”
“Okay, home!”
Jiang Heng controlled himself, then got up and sat back in the driver's seat, continuing to drive home. The car speed was clearly much faster than before.
Finally, after speaking his heart, Jiang Heng felt much better. Listening to the music didn’t feel so oppressive anymore.
The car sped through the skyscrapers, the body seemed to become lighter, and the two hearts that had been floating in the air seemed to finally land.
Soon, the car arrived at the bottom of the apartment building. Jiang Heng parked the car in the underground parking lot, then took the elevator back to the apartment with Lucy.
