Ares

Eddie ran back to the place where he lived last night along the road, not far away, but Eddie ran too fast and didn't rest along the way, even if he had difficulty breathing, he felt his heart throbbing when he took a breath.

He needs this pain, he will be more comfortable.

The person who talked to Lizzie was, unsurprisingly, the Senior Judd that Minnie mentioned. Minnie said that what they did research on, judging from the overheard conversation just now, their research should be It has something to do with Ares, and now, they still want to capture Ares.

Eddie doesn't know how much power they can deploy, but as long as there is a dispute, Ares' strength will be fully exposed. In comparison, the opponent's strength will only increase, because Ares has no awareness of preserving strength and will Let the other party feel that this is more valuable for research.

Pushing open the door, Eddie thought he would miss it, but saw the person he was looking for in the room.

Ares saw Eddie go back and forth, and the obvious disappointment was fleeting. He stood up to greet him, and asked happily, "Why are you back again?"

Eddie didn't want to care about the embarrassment of last night for the time being, he walked up panting and took Ares' hand and walked out. Ares looked down at the hand held by Eddie, and couldn't help being happy.

Ares is always very obedient in Eddie's hands. After walking for a long time, he realized that he didn't seem to be returning to his house, so he asked, "Where are we going?"

Eddie stopped. He really didn't know where to go now. He believed that Lizzie and Judd would not be so stupid that they would come to catch Ares directly, and they wouldn't make a fuss in advance and tell others that they would come to catch Ares. .

He has just come home, and he has just settled down for a few days, where can he go.

"What's wrong?" The current Ares is more in line with Eddie's impression, Ares took his hand, "Your hands are cold, are you nervous?"

Eddie pulled out his hand and took a deep breath, "Listen to me, someone wants to arrest you, it should be someone doing research, they are very interested in Steele, and they know about you from other sources, So, they want to catch you for research."

Ares was silent for a while, "So what should we do now?"

He was calm, and he didn't question what Eddie said at all, he just listened to what he said.

"I don't know." Originally, Eddie was worried that Ares would not listen to persuasion. If he got into a dead end and insisted on confronting the other party, what would he do? I didn't expect him to accept it so easily. Now it's just what I heard. Condition.

"But you must not let them know your true strength. Now they should just guess. If they find out your true strength, it will only be more difficult to deal with." Eddie rubbed his chin to think, and Ares stood aside, looking Some have nothing to do.

"Shall we go back to Steele?" Ares suggested.

"Not good." Eddie firmly vetoed it.

He didn't have any good feelings for that place, and he didn't want to go back after finally returning to Earth. There, he didn't have anything worth remembering.

Ares seems to have known the answer a long time ago, and it was just a tentative question, and did not continue to ask.

"However, you can go back by yourself." Eddie had a flash of inspiration, as if he had finally found the best solution, and suggested: "As long as you leave the earth, they will have nothing to do if they can't find you. It seems unlikely that they will go after Steele to catch you."

"..."

Ares' previous joy disappeared in an instant, and he didn't say yes or no.

Eddie lowered his head in embarrassment, as if he was rejected.

Can't leave the earth, and can't be caught by Lizzie and the others, it's difficult.

Eddie wrote a letter to his family, saying that he wanted to do Ares a favor, and he was away for two days. After writing, he originally wanted the little boy in the store to help him deliver it home, but he felt it was inappropriate.

As soon as his letter arrived, Lizzie went to his house and asked, and Judd would have noticed right away that they already knew the whole thing, and it was even more troublesome when everything was out in the open.

But if you don't leave early, you will be very passive. No matter what tricks the other party makes, they will not be able to break it.

Still should go first, but Eddie wasn't sure he could go faster than them.

Eddie sighed deeply, not knowing what to do.

"Fuck it, let's go home." Eddie rubbed the written letter and threw it away. "As long as we are still on the earth, we will definitely be found, and now they don't know that we already know, It's better to stay here and see the situation."

Ares has no objection, and the same sentence, "I will go wherever you go."

Eddie didn't know whether to be a headache or a relief.

When he got home, Lizzie had already arrived. The moment he saw Eddie, he showed a big and gentle smile, the same as his before, without a single crack, but Eddie could see the hypocrisy in his smile.

Still playing around, Eddie responded with a smile.

"Where did you go? Aunt said you didn't come back all night."

When Lizzie saw Ares following behind, he didn't know what to think, so he shivered and stepped back a little. Eddie saw it and pretended not to see it, feeling both sad and ridiculous in his heart.

Eddie didn't answer his question, but asked instead, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Probably what Eddie showed at this moment was different from what Lizzie expected in his heart. Lizzie's face changed slightly, and it was fleeting. "I'm worried about you." He observed Ares' face and took a step forward. , "I'm very worried about you, afraid that something will happen to you, and I don't know what to do."

Eddie said "Oh", "Why didn't you come to see me that night?"

Lizzie was stunned for a moment, "..."

"I...was a little seriously injured. I woke up very late and came to look for you early in the morning. I wanted to know if you had returned home, but you..." The tone was full of grievances.

The implication is that I wanted to come to you, but the injury did not allow it. I came to you as soon as the injury allowed, but you didn’t go home for the night. I was so worried about you, and you still misunderstood me .

I don't know what's going on, Eddie suddenly thought wildly for a while, the former self probably chose to forgive Lizzie at this time, after all, he was sincere and well-founded, and he still liked him so much, but now, Eddie's heart didn't have much trouble.

Eddie suddenly realized, or rather, that Lizzie had been just a thought of his all along, the thought that supported him back from Steele, Lizzie was not that good, and he didn't love him that much.

Eddie, who has experienced so much and seen so much, can no longer love Lizzie as ignorantly as before.

"Sorry." Eddie looked at Lizzie, "I apologize on behalf of Ares."

There was panic in Lizzie's eyes that couldn't be concealed, and he waved his hands in embarrassment, "Why are you apologizing to me for our relationship, and, besides, why are you... why are you apologizing to me instead of him..."

Eddie had a panoramic view of all Lizzie's emotional changes. At the beginning, he waited for them to come back with confidence. He sent Ares away together and sent him to the research institute, and then Lizzie could not offend either side, and both sides could please both sides. What he lost was only Ares and the sincerity that Eddie should not have known.

Pity.

"Aris is my friend. He made a mistake. Of course I have to apologize for him. As for us... I just have something to tell you." Eddie silently made a decision in his heart, ready to strike first.

Eddie and Lizzie were talking in the corridor, and Ares leaned against the door of the inner hall to observe the movement, in case Lizzie behaved like yesterday again, he could stop it in time.

"Honey, what are you going to tell me?" Lizzie kept his expression on the surface, but his heart was already in a mess. He didn't know what Eddie was going to tell him, but he always felt that it would not be a good thing. Everything is under his control, and now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Eddie glanced at Ares who was hiding inside the door, and said in a normal tone: "Actually, I heard about you and a senior named Judd before."

Lizzie's eyes widened in an instant, and he couldn't hide his panic. "Don't listen to some nonsense!" He took a breath and asked, "Who did you listen to?"

Eddie made a comforting gesture, "Don't be nervous, it's really not a big deal."

"Listen to me..." Lizzie tried to redeem something.

"Listen to me first." Eddie suppressed Lizzie in a calm, even somewhat unreasonable tone, and continued, "Let's go here."

Lizzie's eyes widened, and he looked at Eddie in disbelief. He couldn't believe that these words came from Eddie's mouth. His intention was to take advantage of Eddie's sincerity towards him to suppress Ares in Eddie's heart. However, he suddenly realized that that sincerity might not exist anymore.

Lizzie tried to calm himself down, but still couldn't help clenching his fists, "Is it because of Ares? Is it him? You like him? Did you sleep with him? Do you know that he is..."

Eddie was not as furious as he imagined, and his whole body seemed to sink completely, even though nothing could suppress him, he lightly interrupted Lizzie's next words.

"In your eyes, am I someone who can have sex with anyone? In your eyes, if I don't like you, there must be someone else I like? Lizzie, have you ever asked What about you? Are you with me because you love me so much, or because you love my face?" Eddie said every word clearly, piercing into Lizzie's heart like a sharp awl , The pain is not severe, but it is indescribable.

"My mother asked me about the day when I was arrested in Steele, right? I was arrested in Steele, and she said that the police's guess after investigation was true. She asked very carefully. , but I didn’t say anything, do you want to know, Lizzie.” Eddie’s eyes were empty, just looking at him, Lizzie had never seen Eddie look at him like this, he felt out of breath.
