Infinite Travel: I know a lot of goddesses

Chapter 794! At worst, I'll just have to stay outside for a night

……

The atmosphere began to become silent.

Without David by her side, Gloria even ate slowly, as if she was thinking about something.

Looking at the single mother who was eating with her head down but actually didn't know what she was thinking, Shen Ye felt that he should say something, otherwise the atmosphere would be too weird, so he said: "Mrs. Martinez..."

Hearing this name, Gloria immediately said: "Just call me Gloria."

"Okay, I think this name is good too." Shen Ye nodded: "Ms. Gloria."

"Just call me by my name. Adding "Ms." makes me feel a little uncomfortable." Gloria shook her head, and her long burgundy hair, which was tied up for eating, swayed. Then she looked at Shen Ye and asked in a low voice: "What can I do for you?"

What else could be going on? Don’t you think it’s too quiet now?

But he couldn't say that. Shen Ye thought about it and decided to talk about family matters. Then he coughed and said, "Raising David to this age must have been very hard..."

Depend on!

After saying this, Shen Ye wanted to slap himself in the face. What he said...

But he thought about it again and felt that it was okay, at least he didn't say something like, Mrs. Martinez, you don't want your son to have a bad life in the future, right?

But the previous words still sounded very strange to Gloria, as if they were full of suggestiveness.

"What does he mean?" Gloria became nervous, and she suddenly remembered what David had said to her two days ago.

"The teacher is still alone at the moment."

"Mom, why don't you find another man?"

and so……

Although she is no longer a little girl and the cruel life has made her very strong, at this moment, Gloria still cannot avoid being nervous, uneasy, and even... shy.

Gloria suppressed her wild thoughts, smoothed her hair, and tried to calm herself down. Then she said calmly: "It is very hard, but I can bear it, and it is all worth it."

Hearing this, Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was no misunderstanding and the topic had been opened.

Shen Ye smiled and said, "It is indeed worth it. I heard that David's grades in school are very good. He is very smart and learns everything quickly."

"So I hope he can continue to study hard so that he can succeed." As she said this, a smile appeared on Gloria's face, as if she was imagining the scene of David standing on the top of Arasaka Tower.

Seeing her expression, Shen Ye guessed what she was thinking at a glance. After all, that was the only goal of this poor mother.

However, Shen Ye did not say that studying is not the only way out, although it is very applicable in Night City. After all, there are many people who have made a name for themselves on the streets. They may not become famous, but at least they have enough food and clothing.

However, he also knew that as a low-level worker working as a paramedic in a medical center, Gloria saw the most deaths, gang fights, vendettas, assassinations, or being killed by cyber lunatics for no reason, and she didn't want David to become one of them.

Although being a corporate dog doesn't sound nice, it is at least a legitimate industry, and as long as you don't cause trouble, there should be no problem living a peaceful and stable life.

He didn't want to preach or say anything philosophical, so Shen Ye just nodded: "David will definitely be successful."

This made Gloria laugh happily, and she was not so nervous anymore. Then she looked at Shen Ye... of course, she only looked at him once, then lowered her head again and said, "Thank you for your help these two days. I can see that David is not as rebellious as before."

"It's nothing. I'm happy to help someone get back on track." Shen Ye shrugged indifferently. Then, seeing Gloria stop eating, he asked, "Is the food today not to your liking?"

"No, it's delicious. I've never eaten anything so good." Gloria shook her head. The food David packed back these days was enough for her to eat cheap synthetic food for several years.

"Isn't David buying some wine? I want to drink some. I'm a little tired." Gloria continued, with a hint of fatigue on her face.

Alcohol is not a good thing, but the reason why it continues to exist is mainly because of the positive feedback brought by its side effects. When people are tired or stressed, they need something to numb themselves.

Alcohol...is relatively speaking a very healthy thing, of course, compared to the messy things that many people in Night City like.

After hearing Gloria's words, Shen Ye remembered what happened in the morning, so he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I scared you this morning."

"But you saved me." Gloria shook her head, but in fact she was a little scared now. She really thought she was going to die.

But now... after thinking about it, Gloria said to Shen Ye: "I should thank you, and also say sorry. I shouldn't have pointed a gun at you."

"You're just protecting yourself. This is Night City after all." Shen Ye shrugged, but it was mainly because the person on the other end was Gloria. What if it was a stranger? After being saved by him, he dared to point a gun at him? He would have blown his head off.

But Gloria didn't know what Shen Ye was thinking, she just smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, this is Night City..."

However, just as he finished speaking, the door of the apartment was opened by David who had returned, but he only opened it a crack, and then his expectant voice came in: "Mom, Teacher, is it convenient for me to come in now?"

After hearing this, Shen Ye and Gloria were both speechless. Of course, they could hear what David really meant.

Glancing at Shen Ye awkwardly, Gloria shouted, "Come in, what's taking you so long?"

I just want to give you a little more time to be alone... David thought so in his heart, and at the same time a look of disappointment appeared on his face. He could tell from his mother's voice that nothing happened between them during the time he was away.

"I just saw an acquaintance and was delayed for a moment." David said this when he entered the room. He then took off his shoes and ran in barefoot. He then took out all the bottles and jars in the bag and placed them on the coffee table.

A few bottles of real water. This stuff is not easy to buy in the Arroyo area of ​​Santo Domingo, mainly because most of the people living here are poor.

Then there was the carbonated drink that Shen Ye wanted. David really didn’t understand what was so good about it.

Finally, there are two bottles of strong liquor, which are the easiest to buy and best to drink at this time.

Looking at the two bottles of strong liquor in front of them, Shen Ye and Gloria looked at David with some doubts, but David had already run to the kitchen to get a glass. When he came back, he met their eyes and said calmly: "This is the only one you can buy downstairs."

Then he opened the bottle and poured a glass for each person.

"Drink it, it's better to drink it all. At worst I'll just have to stay out all night." David thought to himself.

(I bought a computer a few days ago on impulse, but now I spend most of my time typing and have no time to play... But since I bought it, I will tune it up in the evening and play some games that my previous computer couldn't handle)
