Who made you the face of the public [Zhongyingmei]

In a blink of an eye, on Christmas Eve, Charles found Norma in the cafeteria, and she was enjoying her breakfast with a sandwich!

Charles came in front of Norma, and Norma raised her eyebrows, it seemed that he had something to say.

Sure enough, Charles said, "Norma, why don't we go out after breakfast?"

"You mean to leave school and go outside?" Norma was taken aback, then asked.

Charles nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean."

This is a bit strange for Norma, after all, between the two of them, it is she, not Charles, who proposes to leave the school for a walk most of the time. Of course, she also understands that this school is very important to Charles. It is a safe and comfortable environment, so if there is nothing to do, he is not willing to leave school for too long.

Because she was curious about the situation, Norma also nodded and agreed to Charles: "Okay, where do you want to go?"

Charles smiled, he looked a little mysterious: "I'll tell you when the time comes."

They didn't go out until both of them had finished their breakfast. After they got into the car, Charles said to Norma: "I have a place I want to go to, and it's a place I used to go to when I was young. The bar." Then, he told the address of Norma's bar.

Norma started the car and said with a smile: "When you were young, are you very old now?"

Charles looked helpless: "Well...then I should say it was the bar I went to a few years ago?" I don't know if it is still open now. "Although he doesn't know, Charles still hopes that the bar is still open.

"I said... Even if the bar is still open, it shouldn't open so early, right? We just finished breakfast not long ago!"

Norma complained, would a bar open so early?

Charles smiled: "How do you know if you don't go and see? Besides, it will take a while to get from school to the city!"

Well, since this person has said so, then she will fulfill his wish.

"But why did you choose today?"

Charles also looked helpless: "Did you forget that we were very busy a while ago? What's more, we can take advantage of this time to do our own things before all the students come back!"

Following the conversation between the two, they gradually entered the urban area, Charles pointed out the direction, and Norma soon arrived at the place they wanted to go.

And when the two got out of the car, the door of the bar on the side had just opened.

"Looks like we've arrived just in time," Charles said, raising his voice.

The owner of the bar turned around and took a look at the two of them. It was a white male who looked about 4 or 50 years old. When he saw Charles, his eyes widened slightly: "Charles, it's you." ?”

Charles nodded and smiled: "Yes, it's me."

Norma looked at the two curiously: "Do you know each other?"

Charles nodded to her: "Yes, we are old acquaintances."

"Come in, old acquaintance!" The owner of the bar obviously heard what they were saying, and he pointed to the inside of the bar: "Find a place to sit down first! I'll come and have a good chat with you after I pack up."

So, the two entered the bar, and while waiting for the old version, Charles said to Norma: "Do you remember that Hank once told you that I live in a house in the city?"

Norma froze for a moment, then remembered. She remembered that when she was looking for a job, she asked Charles if she could borrow her. At that time, Charles refused her: "Yes, I remembered."

Charles then continued: "That house is actually nearby. I lived here when the world didn't know that I was a mutant. I used to come to this bar to drink, so the boss knew me a long time ago."

Before Norma could speak, a man's voice suddenly appeared: "Yeah, it's just that I didn't expect you to become what you are now, Charles."

It turned out that the owner of the bar had already packed everything. He came to the side of Charles and Norma and turned on the warm yellow lights.

Charles smiled: "Let me introduce you, Norma, this is Ceci Jerome, my old friend, Ceci, this is my girlfriend Norma."

The two shook hands, and Sisi sat down next to them with a stool. At this time, the bar had just opened, and no customers came in at all, so he could relax.

"Charles, I didn't expect to see you again. I thought you would never come back to this place. I didn't expect you to come here with your girlfriend." As Sisi said, he didn't Thinking of seeing Charles again, since the identity of the other party was known by everyone.

Charles smiled: "Why not? You know people's perception of people like us has changed now, at least not as hostile as before, isn't it? Besides, it's hard to find time to take a vacation, so we're here."

For Charles, Sisi was an ordinary person who didn't change his attitude after knowing his identity, which made their friendship stronger.

Sisi laughed loudly: "I know you are very busy as the principal, and it's a good thing to come here when you have a vacation, but I didn't expect you to bring your girlfriend here."

This time, before Charles could speak, Norma asked, "Why not? It sounds like I can't come over."

"Oh, no, no, that's not what I meant," Ceci continued with a smile, "I'm just curious, isn't Charles afraid that I'll tell you something about his past?"

Norma narrowed her eyes and looked at Charles: "What happened in the past?"

Before Charles could speak, he heard Sisi say: "For example, he used to drink from a long-necked wine bottle in order to strike up a conversation with girls? Or for example, he praised other girls for their good-looking eyes?"

"Hey, Sisi!" Charles said helplessly, is it really okay to say this in front of his girlfriend?

Norma raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Oh? I can't tell, Charles, you still have such a side?" Why did you used to be a "playboy" and now you have become a "good family man"?

"...I already said don't say such things in front of my girlfriend." Charles complained helplessly.

Ceci smiled: "Although this guy does like to strike up girls a little bit, but at that time he didn't have a girlfriend. Even if he hit up girls, it was just a simple flirt. This guy is still a good person in essence."

Norma smiled: "Of course I know this." But why was Charles suddenly issued a good card?

"But Charles, I didn't expect you to move suddenly, and..." Ceci looked at the wheelchair Charles was sitting in, but still didn't say anything.

Charles shrugged, obviously not very concerned: "You said that at that time... I met some people who were similar to me, and then I had the idea of ​​​​establishing a school. Obviously, the place where I lived before was not suitable for a school. ,so……"

"But to be honest, if I hadn't seen the TV, I really wouldn't have noticed any difference between you and us." What Sisi said was obviously the fact that Charles was actually a mutant.

Charles smiled: "Not everyone can be like you." Of course, he was referring to the fact that the other party still treated him as an ordinary person.

Sisi also laughed and said, "That's because in my opinion, even if you are different from us, you won't hurt us."

Speaking of this, Ceci seemed to finally realize that he seemed to be hindering the world of two people, so he stood up: "I'm going to help you mix the bar, do you want to drink anything?"

Charles glanced at him: "You know, Sisi, it's the same as before."

So Sisi asked Norma again: "What about you?"

"Well... the same as Charles!"

After Sisi left, Norma asked, "Charles, why did you bring me here?"

Charles smiled: "I just want to show you the place where I used to live. Although I can't go back to the original house, it's good to come to the bar, and I haven't been here for a long time."

Seeing that Charles' expression was full of nostalgia, Norma smiled and said, "If there is a chance in the future, I will accompany you."

"Then, I believe we will have many opportunities." Charles raised the corners of his lips, as if he was very satisfied with the answer.

He cast his eyes somewhere outside the window, as if he was nostalgic for something in the past. After a while, Charles spoke again: "Before, Ruiwen and I lived together in my original home."

Norma nodded and didn't speak, she still knew this.

But Charles turned his head and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just think of Ruiwen as my sister, nothing happened between us."

Norma smiled: "I know, didn't you tell me before?" Besides, she still watches movies, so she won't misunderstand such things!

"At that time, apart from Ruiwen, I didn't expect that I would come into contact with other mutants. Of course, I was working hard to find them. Later, I met Hank, Eric, and others, but now Except for Hank, everyone else either left or disappeared into this world."

Talking about this topic, Charles felt somewhat regretful. Those who have long since left this world probably did not expect that ordinary people would be able to coexist peacefully with mutants one day, right?

Norma reached out and shook hands with him: "It doesn't matter, Charles, no matter how the world changes, I will always be by your side in the future."

Charles turned his head and smiled at Norma: "I believe that too."

As the words fell, it was the faces of the two who were getting closer and closer, and the lips that were entangled with each other...
