After becoming a god on earth, I always want to lie down

"Okay, I was rude. I thought we had become good friends after several life-and-death crises." Yang Yi tilted his head indifferently, "To be honest, you are a bit stingy."

Seeing that Yang Yi was not angry at Thomas's rejection, the deputy was like a dehydrated fish thrown back into the water and came back to life.

"If you ask for a gift from me in front of so many people, people will misunderstand that you are using this to put pressure on me." Thomas smiled perfectly, "I don't think you have thought of this."

His "you" seems particularly harsh.

Yang Yi smiled brightly, breaking his calm mask, "Okay, my bad."

This little episode passed like this, and the reception ceremony continued.

In fact, it's not that she didn't think about it, she just didn't care.

Whether voluntarily or not, she was already in this position. She roughly planned a policy for herself: that is, the general direction should not change, and the details should be as arbitrary as possible.

She cannot always be careful about her words and deeds, always pay attention to her words and deeds, and always consider the impact her actions will have on others. Not only is this tiring, it's also mentally stressful for everyone.

Sometimes she will deliberately expose some of her shortcomings, which not only makes her look "human", but also makes people feel that she can be defeated and controlled.

A strong man with flaws is easier to approach than a perfect "god", isn't he?

After the crisis in the different passage, she clearly felt that the attitude of the people around her was different this time.

In the past, even if people admired her, feared her, or criticized her, it was all based on one person.

But now, they didn't look at her as if they were looking at a person, but as if they were looking at a "non-human", something like an alien, an "alien" that was beyond the scope of human beings.

This was not the result she wanted.

Thomas looked at Yang Yi's back as he was surrounded by the crowd and walked away.

His emotions were complex and indescribable. He seemed a little dissatisfied, melancholy, surprised, regretful, angry, and disappointed... but they were all mild.

Perhaps it was because the familiar face she once had disappeared. Now this face, and the deliberately plain smile on this face, grew on her face like a mask. Even if she was teasing and joking like in the past, this face The mask was never taken off.

After she regained her identity as Yang Yi, she seemed to suddenly put on a leather case named "Yang Yi". This leather case was inlaid with the most precious gems in the world and grew the most beautiful flowers in the world - great achievements, powerful The power, the revered status, the supreme right, the ultimate glory!

But these gems are so heavy, she is trying her best to support them; these flowers are so delicate, she is trying her best to protect them.

This layer of leather covered her so tightly that he could not see "Frieza", the lonely soul who was once weak but tough, sincere and shy, who was in extreme pain but still chose to resist.

And...good friends...

He couldn't help but snorted in his heart. Of course they were good friends. The kiss in the car was simply a mistake. Maybe it was due to insanity when death was approaching - isn't it normal for people to have inexplicable impulses when they encounter death? This doesn't mean anything...

More importantly, it seemed that she had completely forgotten about it - which was just right, otherwise the meeting would have been a bit awkward.

Thomas thought this, but he couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips dug into his palms, and even the place on his wrist where the wolf had bitten him felt a faint pain.

"Mr. Norton, do you really want to buy the island?" Senior real estate agent Richard Wood said with obvious surprise and confusion in his voice.

It was he who introduced Chris to a villa in Beaver Hills five years ago and successfully closed the deal, which became news at the time and made him a fortune.

But today, five years later, he actually received a call from Chris again. This big star actually wanted to buy a private island at this time?

What time is it now? Alien creatures are rampant, and people are fleeing to cities, villas in the suburbs, castles on the mountains, private islands on the sea, and in sparsely populated places, real estate prices are plummeting.

On the other hand, cities are densely populated and alien creatures have nowhere to hide. In addition, the government is building protective walls for major cities and trying to turn cities into modern armed fortresses. Security has been greatly enhanced, so urban real estate prices are soaring like a rocket. generally.

At this time, if he had money to buy a private island instead of investing in city real estate, he suspected that Chris had a broken head, or that he had been deceived by someone and wanted to take the opportunity to take over the deal and wait for the price to rise after the alien creature was solved in the future?

Regardless, this is a stupid idea.

Chris ignored Richard's surprise and directly stated his requirements: "The island must be at least 100 square kilometers in area. It must have beautiful scenery, and the environment must not be damaged by modern civilization. It must have mountains, rivers, plains, and forests. , wild animals, there should be beautiful beaches, and the waves in the nearby sea should be gentle, suitable for viewing and playing..."

After finishing his request, he added: "I know that island prices have plummeted recently, and many private islands have been sold. Send me all the ones that meet the conditions, and I will choose them myself."

After hanging up the phone, Chris continued to lift the dumbbells and exercise. On the big screen in front of him was the live broadcast of Yang Yi's medal award. At this moment, she was giving a speech of thanks.

She wore light makeup, her eyebrows were darker than usual, and her lip color was moister than usual. She had a cold appearance, and with her calm and calm expression, she seemed more distant than usual.

This is her "external expression". Chris looked at Yang Yi with this look, and felt a little sweet in his heart, because he was the only one who had seen other expressions besides this "official only" one, including shy, sweet, tired, reminiscing, hesitant, and worried. , wandering... even a little crazy, morbid, and trance...

He was happy that Yang Yi showed a more personal side in front of him, which made him feel that he was special to her, different, even... unique.

As he lifted the dumbbells, he suddenly couldn't help but smile, and this joy quickly spread throughout his body, making him seem to have endless strength.

Soon, the live broadcast progressed to Yang Yi's meeting with leaders and ambassadors from various countries. He suddenly saw that familiar figure, the man who had appeared next to Yang Yi, the man who handed Yang Yi his clothes.

He had investigated him - but in fact there was no need to investigate at all. After he appeared with Yang Yi, his identity was clearly checked by netizens.

Thomas de Essex, a British hereditary nobleman and current Marquess of Essex, was a controversial Surrealist painter.

During the live broadcast, Yang Yi's plain expression changed, showing a bit of sincerity. She smiled and called him her good friend, and admitted that she was taken in by him during the month when she lost her superpowers.

Living together! A whole month!

They spent more time together than with him!

"good friend"?

A good friend would deliberately dress so... coquettishly on a solemn occasion when he was on a mission to another country? Yes, it’s coquettish! Look at his high-end handmade custom-made suit, which is black and blue and fits the body shape. The shirt is tightly buttoned at the Adam's apple, and the sapphire representing the family symbol is clamped on his tie. It is no different from a male peacock who deliberately opens his tail.

Chris threw the dumbbells to the ground, walked step by step to the live broadcast screen, and stared closely at the man on the screen.

He saw the conversation between the two people with obvious familiarity. He saw Thomas pretending to be reserved and rejected Yang Yi's request for a painting. He saw Yang Yi's apology as a matter of course. He didn't seem to care about his unreasonable attitude at all, but took it for granted. look.

Chris's breathing hitched.
