Instinctively, she turned her head, only to find Lille hadn’t appeared yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, she felt as if she were dreaming: like all this was just a dream she had in her rented room in the Skyscraper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dreamt of being on the Moon, her mind filled with fantasies of fame and fortune, dreams of two devoted brothers, fantasies of wonderful times in another world, feeling motherly care from Maya she’d never felt before...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon waking, she had to face a sea of bills, face the cold glass, face the rainy Night City, face a world where she didn’t know how to live like a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By day, she pumped herself up, claiming to want to become the strongest person in this world. By night, she dragged her battered body to bed, pondering what she was truly doing until someday, she would be killed in the street, the company would clear out her apartment, and the last trace of her existence would vanish...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Little Octopus: o.0]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Octopus suddenly jumped out and pulled Valerie from that state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Valerie’s eyes became a bit moist, and she grabbed Little Octopus, burying her head in its tentacles, rubbing fiercely—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, famed Valerie, why are you here sucking on an octopus?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille’s voice came from behind, and Valerie felt a pair of large hands rubbing on her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just thought I was dreaming.\" Valerie grabbed Lille’s hand and stared dazedly at the Earth, saying, \"I still feel like I’m dreaming now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you should be careful, you might be suffering from cyber psychosis—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie felt a sudden spinning sensation, even crying out in surprise...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t right? What kind of battles had she not experienced, how could she feel dizzy just from a spin?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she came to her senses, Lille had already embraced her firmly, and the two strode through mountains of corpses and seas of blood—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time to take a break. How’s this feeling of dizziness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did this?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s me.\" Lille nodded seriously, \"Don’t forget your brain-computer interface, your skill chips, your Si Anweisitan, your Prosthetics, all installed by me. Sometimes, you should enjoy the sensations of an ordinary person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie looked at Lille and burst out laughing: \"No need for the famed Valerie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I always need you—We’re taking off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding Valerie, Lille walked out of Tycho Colony, and with a mighty toss, threw Valerie dozens of meters high!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without her thrusters and Prosthetics to balance, that feeling of weightlessness and moving farther and farther from the ground, floating towards space truly brought Valerie a long-gone sense of nervousness—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scream like a little girl burst out: \"Oh my God, I’m flying away... Lille, catch me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, this was calculated... Oh my God, I miscalculated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You son of a...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, just kidding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying a hundred meters up in the sky, Valerie only then felt herself slowly descending, while Lille gave her no chance to react, immediately shooting out spider silk, pulling Valerie down like a jumping machine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie nervously closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she opened them, she found herself held by Lille once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Valerie curl up like a kitten in his arms, Lille amusingly asked, \"Wasn’t that fun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie glared at Lille as if there was anger waiting to be released, but soon she let it go because it was indeed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too much fun!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie had never been to an amusement park!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille chuckled, and before Valerie could react, he tossed her up again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Moon’s surface, the two played like children, engaging in a game of tossing a person skyward with assisted jumps, crossing the ring-shaped mountains, passing uneven terrain, playing in the silent and pristine environment, making it seem like dancing on the Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, this dance had no technical skill to speak of, only a girl who had never been to an amusement park and a boy willingly acting as the jumping machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squish—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Valerie found herself cradled in Lille’s arms, her excited blushy cheeks gradually fading, replaced by a steady happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille laughed and said, \"How was it? I told you there’s always something fun to find, you smile so exaggeratedly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I’ve never played this before...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille suddenly leaned in for a kiss—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though they were separated by spacesuits, the kiss still reached Valerie:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like two years ago in Dog Town, when streams of data flooded the processor, electrical currents stimulated every nerve, and the sensation became a feeling that could be controlled...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hug\" and \"embrace\" are common human actions. People hug each other to ward off cold and loneliness, sending a message to the other:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From an outsider’s view, with helmets and spacesuits separating them, the kiss might seem absurd, but only they knew that their perceptions had already interwoven through countless chips, neural contact points, and brain-computer interfaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glance, a thought, a gesture, all conveying one message:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am always here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you were a blockhead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille shrugged: \"Actually, I’ve done the same thing before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dog Town?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See, you knew it too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valerie puffed her cheeks: \"I knew? At the time, I thought the equipment was short-circuiting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That wasn’t a short circuit, Valerie—\" Lille playfully extended Valerie’s name, \"Valerie, you’re quite adorable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, go to hell...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille suddenly leaned close to Valerie’s ear: \"Since it’s like this, let me say it once more:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I love you, Valerie, would you spend the rest of your life with me? From the known present to the unknown end of the Universe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emotion is a kind of feeling that can be simulated through equipment, resonating at nerve endings, input settings producing just the right deviation, heartbeat exceeding normal range, Prosthetics replicating the lover’s temperature, hormone release under control of the gland controller...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some say this is cold technology, fraudulent technology—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this love, pierced through skin by this technology, through alloy bones, transcending the fragility of flesh, is intense, saturated, and indelible, much like electromagnetic signals echoing in the depths of the Universe, never disappearing, never extinguishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Valerie only cried once in her life: when she was little, scavenging garbage in the street to eat. There was a poor father and daughter, the father holding his daughter and spinning around the street, though poor, no one abandoned each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cried because she realized she didn’t care if those who loved her had money; she just wanted someone to love her like the little girl, but why was she born an orphan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was the second time, tears spilling from her eyes, yet her lips couldn’t help but curl upward because she knew, now she was loved—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the known present to the unknown end of the Universe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1165,"2026-06-03T12:33:52.191Z","2026-06-03T12:33:57.931Z",1,"novelbin.me","168c75504c62ade070bae52d5767379470781198559c7abd88ebbe4081769519","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-851","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-1067","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
