I almost ruled the world

The ten-day vacation is fleeting, and today Brianna will follow Clark and return to the metropolis.

Throughout the morning, Brianna began to pack her luggage in a hurry, because she didn't finish it last night.

She was upstairs trying to stuff the presents into the suitcase, when the door creaked downstairs.

Brianna didn't take it seriously, after all, they were leaving in an hour.

But when she heard the door close, Brianna's intuition told her that something was wrong, and it felt like there was one person missing in the whole house.

She walked out of the room, glanced around, and found that Clark was gone.

Brianna frowned, went to the window and lay down on the window sill, and saw Clark walking out of the room and walking towards a girl in the distance.

That girl looks familiar.

Brianna narrowed her eyes, but she wasn't going to do something stupid like running down to ask.

Obviously, there is no ambiguity between Clark and Lana Lan, after all, they have never seen each other in the past ten days - of course, it is also possible that they met when she did not know, but as far as Clark is concerned, this is not necessary .

Thinking of this, she turned her gaze away and continued to pack her luggage.

After stuffing the clothes and gifts I brought into the suitcase, I was ready to leave.

And the conversation between Clark and Lana Lan was not too long, at least they came back before the agreed time to leave.

At this moment, Brianna picked up the suitcase and carried it down the stairs with some difficulty.

Martha glared at Clark, who was standing aside, who was slightly worried and expressionless, and then stepped forward to help Brianna.

……

It's time to leave.

Briana hugged Martha, and Martha hugged Clark.

Martha had a bit of reluctance on her face, but she still brushed Clark's face lightly, "Go back, Clark. Go where you should go, and remember what I said before, be theirs..."

"—to be their hero, to be the character they want me to be. Or, to be nothing."

Martha smiled helplessly, and then she approached her son's ear, and said seriously in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "It's the same for Brianna and others, Clark."

"If you can't do your best, then do nothing."

Clark lowered his eyes and didn't say much.

Martha sighed, but in the end she didn't insist, "Let's go early, otherwise it will be too late when we arrive at the metropolis."

In the end, under Martha's reluctant eyes, the two carried their luggage and walked towards the small broken car driven by Clark.

Brianna opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, Clark stepped on the accelerator, and the car started slowly.

As the figure of Martha standing at the door became smaller and smaller, she looked back at Clark and asked cautiously, "Did you say goodbye to your friend before?"

"Sorry, I just saw you guys when I was checking the windows."

"Hmm." Clark didn't seem surprised by this, "I can feel your gaze."

Clark obviously didn't answer what she meant, which made Brianna a little aggrieved for a moment, and she looked away in frustration, "I'm sorry, I was too nosy. I shouldn't ask, this has nothing to do with me."

"..." Clark turned his head and glanced at Brianna. For a moment, what Martha said to him before leaving rang in his mind, and he began to wonder if he was too indifferent to an adolescent girl.

After all, she did nothing wrong.

But it would seem strange to specifically mention the matter with Lana Lan.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

During the long journey, neither of them spoke.

Not to mention that Clark's car itself is very old, especially in a quiet environment, and I don't know which part of the car is making a creaking sound, so Clark has no choice but to raise his hand and turn on the radio.

It happened to be playing Elvis Presley's nostalgic old songs.

"Can't help falling in love with you".

Although the song is nice, and there is still a festive atmosphere in the coming holiday, but for some reason, the atmosphere seems to have become more embarrassing.

He raised his hand, as if wanting to switch stations.

Just before he could touch the knob, a text message alert from Briana's phone rang.

She glanced at Clark, then pulled out the phone from her pocket.

"Peter: Hey, Brianna! You're coming back from Kansas today, aren't you? I don't know if it will be convenient for you when you get home. I want to get you a late Christmas present as soon as possible!"

Brianna raised her eyebrows, and then her fingers danced quickly on the keyboard, "Of course, I am very convenient! Thank you, Peter! I am looking forward to it~smile/emoji"

Not long after it was sent, Peter sent another text message with a sound of "ding dong," "I hope you like it too, so we'll see you then?"

Brianna showed a gentle smile in front of Clark, and sent the edited text message, "See you then!"

Going home to Clark's small apartment in the metropolis, after Brianna packed her luggage, she hurriedly put on her shoes and planned to go out.

"Clark, a classmate is looking for me, I'll go out for a while!"

After speaking, regardless of Clark's reaction, he went out directly.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Brianna saw a familiar figure pacing nervously at the door.

The voice was also heard on the other side, and the boy looked up at the stairs in the apartment building. Seeing that it was Brianna, he was happy at first, but soon became a little helpless.

Brianna walked quickly outside the apartment where he was staying, and said with some embarrassment, "Please also send it to me specially, thank you."

Peter scratched his head, looking like he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he directly handed the wrapped gift to Brianna, "Late Christmas present."

Brianna frowned happily, "Can we take it apart now?"

Receiving an affirmative answer, Brianna quickly unwrapped it.

——It’s a silk scarf.

Brianna looked at the third scarf she received and tried to keep smiling, "Oh my God, I like it so much!"

When she came down, she was in a hurry and happened to not be wearing a scarf, so she immediately put on the silk scarf Peter had given her.

To be honest, wearing a silk scarf this season can only be said to be a little better than not wearing it.

But Brianna still tried to show a very warm look, "Do you think it looks good?"

The context is to ask if the silk scarf she wears makes her look good.

But Brianna blurs the subject, it depends on what Peter thinks.

Sure enough, Peter looked at Brianna with a slightly unnatural expression. He glanced at Brianna, but quickly looked away embarrassedly, "It's very beautiful."

While it's fun to watch innocent boys blushing because of themselves, Brianna suddenly feels like she's bullying honest people.

"I just came back, and the house is a bit messy, but unfortunately I can't invite you to sit up for a while." Brianna showed a regretful expression.

"Ah, it's okay." Peter waved his hand, "I happen to have something to do later."

"See you at the beginning of school?" Brianna asked cautiously.

"Oh." Peter didn't seem to expect that Brianna would go to school so soon, but he couldn't say anything to hold back. Thinking that school would start tomorrow, he said with a smile, "See you at the beginning of school."

When Brianna turned around and entered the building, Peter looked back at her with some reluctance.

At this time, she was looking up at the apartment where Clark was.

The curtains were still drawn tightly.

But Briana straightened the green silk scarf around her neck and was in a great mood.

"I am back!"

Brianna returned to the apartment and casually closed the door.

Soon, she immediately noticed that Clark's eyes seemed to converge on her neck inadvertently, and she frowned slightly.

Brianna didn't mean to explain at all, but kicked off her shoes, and carefully took off the new silk scarf around her neck, as if treating a treasure.

"boom--"

Until she closed the door of the room, completely blocking Clark's sight.
