I almost ruled the world

"It's not like that, Bligh." His eyes drooped and he didn't look at Brianna.

She stretched out her hand again to close the leak at the bottom of the bathtub, sat in it with her hands folded on her knees, couldn't help but sighed deeply, and said in frustration, "I see, you just pity me, but I mistakenly thought you were Like me too."

"Are you still laughing at me as a silly girl in your heart?" Brianna said, sniffing, then turned her head and curled up tightly on her knees, her eyes looked elsewhere absently.

"Bligh." Hearing him say that, Clark frowned, "You misunderstood."

She pinched her calf under the water and couldn't help whimpering because of the pain. Crystal tears quickly slid down her face and finally fell into the bathtub and disappeared, "But I always feel that you are perfunctory, and you never admit it Your feeling for me seems to be my unilateral liking all the time... I feel really tired."

Brianna saw through her tear-filled eyes that Clark took two steps closer to her in silence, and then squatted down to meet her gaze.

After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand towards her. First, he gently stroked Briana's wet head with his big palm, and then gently wiped away the tears that fell from her with his fingertips.

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings." After a long time, Clark finally said in a low voice.

"Then do you like me?" Brianna trembled for a moment, she tried her best not to care about his messy hands, rubbed the flesh that was pinched by herself indiscriminately, and asked.

"..." Clark was silent for a while, "I won't kiss anyone I don't like."

Brianna raised her head, her eyes seemed to be shining, she looked expectant and scared, "In this case, why are you always avoiding me?"

As she spoke, she nervously grabbed Clark's hand, "Is it because you like a lot of people and step on a lot of boats?"

Clark smiled helplessly when he heard this, and he comforted, "I don't like many people, Bligh. You are the only one."

She was taken aback for a moment, then a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she looked at him moved.Then she stretched out her hands towards him and wrapped them around the neck of the man not far away.

Even though Clark was right next to her, in order to get as close to him as possible, Briana had to shift her weight outward, so that most of her body was forced to be exposed, and the edge of the bathtub pressed against her cold chest.

And Clark's body was still steaming, even through a thin bathrobe, she could feel the strong muscles under the other's body, which made Brianna's heart beat faster for a while.

Brianna tried her best to ignore the uncomfortable feeling, her lips were close to his ear, the beads of her lips inadvertently touched his scalding skin, and said in an unclear way, "I think you haven't washed it off yet."

Clark's body tensed up suddenly, he felt his throat was a little dry, and then pulled her out of his arms uncomfortably, "Bligh, but this is not appropriate."

It's just that after pulling her out, Clark's expression froze, and his eyes moved down belatedly, and then moved away uncomfortably as if he had seen a ghost.

Brianna realized what he saw, put her hands on her cheeks, and smiled maliciously, "Do you think they are ugly with this look?"

Clark stood up quickly and answered irrelevant questions, "I'm going out first."

She grabbed Clark's hand tightly, and then clasped his fingers together pretendingly, rubbed his slightly rough palm, and said pitifully, "Then you have to promise me, and you can't hide from me and perfunctory me anymore."

Clark looked at the place where he was holding Briana, his hand moved slightly, and his expression softened subconsciously.

He lightly closed his eyes and sighed long, "Okay, I promise you."

After the goal was achieved, Brianna immediately let go of his hand. In fact, she was a little bit disgusted by this kind of intimate behavior. After all, her closest person for so many years finally wanted to kill her.

Anyway, she already got the other party's verbal guarantee, and the following things are not hers, so she waved to him happily, "Then you go, I'm taking a shower."

Clark: "...?"

After taking a bath and walking out of the bathroom, the Clark was gone.

The windows and doors are wide open, and the curtains are fluttering with the night wind. It is estimated that they are going to save the world again.

After Brianna changed her clothes, she sat in the living room and turned on the TV for a while, before Clark walked back through the door in his normal clothes.

Seeing that she had been waiting for him, Clark froze for a moment, "Are you still asleep?"

She crossed her legs, picked up the snacks on the table and winked at Clark, "Shall we watch a movie together?"

A new Netflix movie was playing on the TV, and she had just watched it for five minutes.

After a while, Brianna felt the couch sag beside her, and Clark sat next to her.

She smiled at him, then picked up the remote control, "Let's start from the beginning."

A beautiful girl wobbled on a bicycle on the screen and muttered to herself, but Clark couldn't help but move his eyes from the TV to Brianna's side face...she looked better.

"What's the matter?" She seemed to be aware of his gaze, and then handed the snack in front of him, "Want to eat?"

Clark shook his head, then looked back at the TV.

But, looking at it, Brianna leaned her soft and boneless body against Clark.

He wanted to move aside a bit, but remembering the promise he had made to Brianna, he insisted on not leaving. Instead, he raised his hand hesitantly and placed it gently on her shoulder.

But probably accidentally touched her neck, Brianna was startled first, then giggled, and took his hand away, "I'm ticklish!"

"Oh, sorry."

"It's okay." After throwing the snacks on the table, Brianna leaned her head on his shoulder and hugged his arm, "It's okay."

The girl next to her was still wearing the fragrance of shower gel and shampoo, especially after feeling the softer place, the picture he saw in the bathroom before kept flashing through Clarke's mind, and he didn't dare to move at once. Most of the attention was on her.

The temperature of the contact between the two heated up rapidly, but Brianna didn't seem to care, watching with relish, and after eating the snacks, she began to unconsciously play with Clark's fingers.

This caused Clark to be tortured for two hours, and he didn't know what story he was telling. It seemed to be about a little girl looking for her mother?

At the end of the movie, Brianna finally straightened up and said, "I really want to have such a brother."

Speaking of which, she finally turned her head to look at herself, and said with a smile, "But it's better to have a boyfriend like Clark."

Before Clark, who hadn't reacted, could speak, Brianna adjusted her posture, knelt next to Clark, and kissed him hard on the cheek.

Then she briskly jumped off the sofa and waved her hand at him, "I'm asleep, remember to miss me in my dream~"

Clark dazedly touched the cheek that had been kissed by her, his drooping eyes raised the corners of his mouth.

Jimmy found that Clark's state of going to work has changed again recently.

Some time ago, his efficiency was particularly high. Although he ran away at noon every day, editor-in-chief Perry still praised him every day, making Jimmy wonder if the next editor-in-chief would be appointed by default.

But these two days... Every time Clark typed a few lines, he had to take out his mobile phone and send short messages to someone who didn't know. A smile appeared on his face for a while, and he occasionally became absent-minded.

Jimmy could see clearly that he was no longer Clark's fishing angel!

——Although it seems that it has never been.

cough cough.Jimmy slid the office chair and leaned towards his desk, and saw Clark put away his phone in good time, and looked at him suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Jimmy panicked for a second, and then quickly started talking nonsense, "Do you know what holiday is today?"

"...?" Clark just looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Today is the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne," Jimmy said, glancing at the calendar on Clark's desk.

Clark followed his gaze and glanced at the calendar on his desk, then frowned, "So?"

"Cough." He cleared his throat again. "War! What does war represent, do you know, Clark?"

"Huh, maybe you can tell me." Clark snorted noncommittally, and then watched him perform quietly.

"Farewell!" Jimmy clenched his little fist in front of his chest, "The soldier and his lover were forced to separate because of the war, what a sad love story... So, today is a memorable day for all lovers .”

"...?" Clark looked at him strangely, "Very good joke, Jimmy."

Then he turned his head away and continued typing away on the keyboard.

"Huh?" Seeing that the other party was so uncooperative, Jimmy moved the roller chair in the office again, "Tell me honestly, are you in love?"

"Girls like surprises. Whether it's a holiday or not, you can't go wrong with giving gifts—by the way! Is it the one I recommended you to give as a dream catcher last time?"

Clark hesitated as he typed, thinking that the dream catcher he had given last time was still hanging on Brianna's bedside, and that the scarf she had picked out in the mall had been put somewhere by her.

"Then what kind of surprise do you think is more appropriate?" Clark asked pretending to be nonchalant.

"Ha! I knew you were in love!" Jimmy patted him on the shoulder triumphantly, and withdrew his hand the next second with a hiss.

It's too muscular.

Seeing that Clark didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either, Jimmy rubbed his palms and said angrily, "Actually, there's no need to send anything particularly expensive."

"Occasionally send a bouquet of flowers and create a romantic atmosphere, and the girls will be happy all day."

"You sound very experienced."

"Trust me, Clark. If one bouquet doesn't work, get two, and if it doesn't work, you can go to bed...any problem can be solved, and I can tell you about it."

"...The latter one is unnecessary, thank you."

[several hours later]

On the way home, Clark, passing by a flower shop, stopped suddenly. Remembering Jimmy's words, he hesitated for a moment, and finally turned and walked in.

Perhaps the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne is indeed a memorable day for lovers.
