Clark is like a statue, sitting in the living room he temporarily rented in the metropolis, and he doesn't know how long he has been sitting there.

When Bruce arrived, what he saw was this frozen scene. The expression on Superman's face was very solemn, and there seemed to be some feeling of bewilderment mixed in it.

"What's wrong?" Bruce asked, "How did Barry tell me that you put Celia in his house?"

Superman raised his head slowly, and he seemed to be able to hear the creaking and creaking of his cervical spine, as if the man had been sitting here for a long time.

He explained the ins and outs of the matter to Bruce, and after listening to the story, Bruce endured it, so he didn't show a gloating smile.He cleared his throat so he could keep himself feeling heavy too.

"You...what on earth are you thinking? I asked Barry to go play with you, not to let you push Celia to him." Bruce complained, "Fortunately, Celia is an alien, if she is real People on Earth, I’m afraid you can now be sure that you will end up alone forever.”

"I still don't understand." Clark muttered in a low voice, "She likes playing games so much, and she has always been very happy with Barry's appearance, why did she get angry at the end?"

President Wayne slowly sat across from him, and he sighed softly.

"That's why I've always been so popular with women, but you just haven't been in a relationship." He said, "Even for an ordinary woman, judging whether she is angry should not be based on her performance, but through To feel the details... let alone someone like Xilia?"

"What do you mean?" Superman asked confused.

He really doesn't understand women at all, or even how to get along with other people.Superman's blue eyes looked innocent because they were dazed.

Bruce wasn't even in the mood to laugh this time.He even felt a little pity in his heart.This friend of his can overturn the entire earth by himself, but he can't figure out what a girl is thinking.

"We all know Celia's situation. Even if she doesn't think that environment is extreme, we all know that it's not a good place to be around Thanos, right?" Bruce said slowly, in a childlike tone say.

Superman nodded in confusion, he remembered that he had been to the ruins of the starship, the oppressive and bloody smell lingered on him even after he left, and lingered for a long time.

"First of all, Xilia's emotional system is unbalanced. So how does she determine the relationship between the other party and herself? Naturally, she can get it by observing words and expressions-this is hundreds of times stronger than yours. So she must have noticed yours. Irritability and abnormality, these negative emotions will definitely push her in her habitual bad direction, so she will think you hate her." Bruce said, "So if she wants to please us, she will definitely be satisfied with all our arrangements, Of course you don't know what's on her mind."

"But—" Clark wanted to refute, but he realized that Bruce was right. If Celia could hide her purpose and thoughts, Thanos would not be able to suspect him, let alone such a trivial thing as pretending to be happy in front of him?

"After you transferred Proxima Centauri to the prison of the Justice League, the people under your command probably summed up some past events from her mouth." Bruce continued to say patiently like a kindergarten teacher, "Obviously, Shirley Ya has an identity crisis around Thanos, and most people never understood why Thanos kept her, because Celia is weak and useless, she has never even been out of the spaceship, and she has never done it for Thanos Something that contributes. So people around Thanos feel that this is unfair, they always hope that Thanos can 'solve' her, or throw her away."

Therefore, Xilia has been struggling to survive these years. She not only wants to save her own life, but also tries to keep herself on the spaceship.In a place where force is paramount, Thanos can raise a useless little girl on the spaceship until she is so big. One can imagine how hard Shelia tried to please Thanos.

After thinking about it, Superman suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he looked at Bruce, "Could it be—"

"Yes. Clark, that's what you think it is." Bruce said calmly. "Come to think of it, she didn't do anything on Earth either—of course, we don't need her to do anything. But the two of you She became close because of racial relations, and the longest place she stayed on the earth was the base and your side. Now you suddenly want to let her go to the house of a person you have only known for a few days, but you have to leave. You let her how to think?"

Superman was getting colder and colder.Did Celia think he was going to abandon her, like Thanos?No, perhaps for girls, his approach is even worse.From her point of view, he asked her to be honest and be herself, but when she became more and more casual like an ordinary girl, he suddenly noticed his irritability, and then he said he was busy and wanted to send her off. leave……

It can be said that the girl is like a vigilant little wild cat who has no relatives. She used to run away after eating and feeding humans, but Superman appeared and told her that she used to be domesticated, so she should not be so alienated. Humanity.As a result, he had only carried her home for a few days, and she had just gotten used to the feeling of freedom and security, when he wanted to 'give her away' again.

From this point of view, Clark himself feels that he is simply a capricious big villain and a scumbag.

Yeah, the little wild cat wouldn't think that the capriciousness of the human was because she realized that she might have a crush on her, she would just think he was a big liar.

Thinking of this, Clark pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "I don't know...I..."

"This is a common problem of men who have been single for too long." Bruce criticized, "How can you just focus on your own thoughts and ignore girls' feelings? If you are not good-looking, you will really drive away all women. … ...Oh, sorry, I forgot, your appearance doesn't add any points to Celia."

Superman stood up suddenly, and Bruce looked up with him.

"What are you going to do?" he asked.

"Go find her," said Superman in a deep voice.

Bruce felt his head start to hurt, and he managed to get Clark to sit on the couch again.

"You are obviously such a calm person, why is your IQ down to this level now?" Bruce said, "Since you said you are going to be busy with other things, then go in two days."

"But--"

"Don't you want to clear your head, now is just a chance."

"But," Clark was silent for a while, before hesitatingly said, "If Celia refuses to forgive me, will we not be able to return to the previous relaxed state?"

"Yes." Bruce looked at Clark with sympathy and a look at mentally handicapped children. "I never thought that you could make such a completely wrong choice in two days and one night."

The aura around Superman was very low, and he only realized now that he, who was only concerned with his own feelings, would hurt Celia in this way after making a decision without authorization.

He was so stupid, he had betrayed her trust.

Celia was right, if he wanted to be honest, he shouldn't have been hiding from her all the time, they should have had a good chat long ago.

"But...everything still has a chance." At this moment, he suddenly heard Bruce say.

Clark's eyes widened immediately, he raised his head, looked at Bruce, and said a little doubtfully, "Why do you say that?"

"Remember my words, my friend... A woman who is willing to fight with you definitely has a glimmer of hope in you. If a woman is really not interested in that person, she won't bother to argue with you." Bruce used a With an unfathomable attitude, he said quietly, "And—not to mention that for an alien like Xilia, arguing is an irrational behavior for her to expose herself. She is willing to tell you the truth, which means it must be trust you."

……

Superman decided to go to Celia three days later.So he returned to the North Pole.

For the first time in his life, Clark understood what it meant to be self-inflicted.

When he was very upset before, he always wanted to be alone.Now that he could really calm down by himself, it started to bother him again.

He lived alone in the North Pole for 15 years, but when he came back here alone again, he suddenly felt that the whole North Pole was so empty and lonely.

Clark sat in his monitoring room, where he used to sit for days at a time, like a machine on standby.But now, as he stared at the images on those monitors, his consciousness slipped away every once in a while.

It was so quiet in the lonely castle, there was no other sound except for the little robot beeping every two seconds.In this extremely quiet space, Superman's eardrums buzzed, and he could even hear his own heartbeat and blood flow.

He tried his best to get back to his past state, but he couldn't find it no matter what.He even forgot how he survived the long 15 years alone in the past.

He had survived by himself for 15 years, and it took only two months for Celia to break it all. This realization made Clark feel annoyed.

Superman sat there, staring at dozens of screens. The silent North Pole did not calm him down, but he was restless.

The first day passed extremely long, only the sound of his heartbeat coming from the direction of the United States made him feel that he was still in this world.

Twenty-four hours later, Superman is still sitting in that chair, his incredible energy keeping him from feeling tired.He glanced at the time - 24:07 in the morning.In the beginning, Celia would start harassing him on the phone from this breakfast hour.

She had promised to call him earlier, but she hadn't called at breakfast.

A few hours later, it was noon.Celia still didn't fight.

Superman has not eaten or drank water for nearly thirty hours. In the past, he could suppress this most basic desire to the limit. He could only eat a little compressed food for four or five days.But this time, only a day and a half later, at noon, Superman's stomach began to protest with pain.

During this period of time, he cooked for Celia every day, and he got used to eating three meals a day as usual again.

Hell, Superman thought, heck.

He ordered the little alien-made robot to cook, and the little robot screamed, as if protesting that it was a guard robot, not a daily life robot.After a while, it grabbed a few bags of snacks and threw them on Superman's body, making muttering noises in its head, as if it was using some robot language to complain about him.

Superman stared at the potato chips for a moment, then remembered that he had bought them for her earlier.

He tore open the packing bag with a gloomy face, the little robot felt his low pressure and immediately silenced, hiding away.After he finished eating two bags of snacks with a blank face, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and Celia still ignored him.

He began to listen intently to Celia's heartbeat again, which was as steady as before.In the past he would calm down, but this time it seemed that it was not enough.

Clark felt that he was definitely not a pervert, nor a control freak, nor was he a voyeuristic control freak—he just wanted to see what Celia was doing.

So, Superman pursed his thin lips, and switched the surveillance camera in the middle from an alley in Rio de Janeiro to the metropolis of the United States.With the precise input of the address, the camera angle of view has come to the sky above Barry's house.

He saw a big hole in Barry's neighbor's iron fence, as if something heavy had bent it.Superman's eyes noticed it, and a line of small words appeared on the screen:

[On xx xx, according to Barry Allen [the holder of the advanced authority], he witnessed a wild boar crashing into this place, and the accident has been dealt with. 】

...a wild boar?

Superman raised his eyebrows, and he continued to switch the surveillance head. The detector flying in the sky was ordered to fly at a low altitude with Superman's perspective, hovering over the glass of Barry's solitary villa.

In mid-air, through the glass, Clark saw Celia and Barry playing the somatosensory game of Switch. Each of them held a gamepad and waved lightsabers at each other on the carpet that was holographically projected into a Colosseum.

What is there to do with this game?Hasn't she been bored by her practical training for the past ten years?Superman hummed inwardly.

As a result, he saw Xilia, who had won the game, jumping up and down on the sofa and the ground happily, like a big bear child.Barry was also laughing. They seemed to have some kind of punishment for losing the game. Celia drew a horn like a bamboo shoot on his forehead.

Zooming in again, Clark saw a kitten with its tail cocked on Celia's face.

Superman stared blankly at the screen.

He didn't care at all.

He just felt that the water in his heart was starting to roll again, which was really unfair.Perhaps Bruce and he were both wrong, Clark thought.Celia obviously got along very happily with Barry. Looking at her, does she seem to feel that she has been abandoned?

This nasty little wild cat is not a pitiful little cat wholeheartedly, she just eats all kinds of food, and whoever plays with her and gives her food, she will be nice to anyone.

It's really unfair. He spent a day and a half making troubles by himself, while Celia had a great time playing games with others.She didn't even call him - she didn't miss him at all.

After a while, Barry changed the game, it was a 'bionic man' game, and the two of them had to make the same pose as the combination of holographic projections to pass the level.There are some things that require close contact - such as one person picking up another person's back, or the movements that need to be coordinated with each other.

Clark sees Celia asking for another game - which puts him in a better mood again.

At least, it means that she still doesn't like being intimate with other people, doesn't it?But she took the initiative to ask him to sleep with her.This shows that the relationship between them is very different.

At this moment, Clark saw that Celia was talking to Barry with her back to the window, and he couldn't help but let the detector drop another [-] centimeters.

...Only thirty centimeters away, Superman saw Silia's eartips move slightly, then she turned her head, and those light blue eyes directly hit the monitor screen.

Across the surveillance video screen, Superman met Celia's eyes, and unconsciously, his back felt a little chilly.Celia came over, and she stretched out her hand to close the curtains.

After losing the indoor image, Clark continued to breathe.At that moment, he suddenly felt a guilty conscience of being caught.The man leaned back on the chair slowly and exhaled.

——What the hell is he doing?Is he crazy to see what they are doing in this way?

Just then, Clark's cell phone rang.The man's eyes lit up, and he took out his mobile phone, only to realize that the caller was Bruce.

"Hello." Superman answered the phone in a low voice.

"Hi, Clark." Bruce's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Barry just called me, he said he and Celia wanted me to take them into the superhuman city alone..."

Superman's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and his fingers couldn't help exerting force. He didn't remember to let go of the force until the special material mobile phone made a pitiful creaking sound.

"...oh," said Superman stiffly.

"..." There was a silence on the other side, and Bruce said, "What did you do again?"

"I'm in the North Pole, doing nothing."

"Clark?" Bruce's voice rose.

"Okay. I just took a look at what they were doing with the detector, and I took a look." Superman had to say dryly, "And then I seemed to be spotted by her."

Bruce was silent.

"Clark, you..." He couldn't help but say, "So when you talked about love, did you have this kind of voyeuristic control pervert style?"

Superman: ...

Superman: "I'm not."

At this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he subconsciously said, "Damn..."

"what happened?"

"Celia blocked her heartbeat, I couldn't hear anything," said Superman in disbelief. "How did she do that? It can't be, she shouldn't know I'm listening to her heartbeat— "

"Shut up, Clark Kent!" Bruce couldn't help but shouted, "Damn it, I really think you should see a psychiatrist!!"
