When the Super British Ruled the Earth[British and American]
Chapter 79 079
In fact, among so many cities, Clark actually likes the metropolis or his hometown the most.
He spent the purest and youngest days in his life in the metropolis. Although he couldn't control the scale of pretending to be an ordinary person at that time, those days of ordinary people are really the best in his memory. It's time.
Bruce never understood why Clark didn't go to Wayne Group at that time. If he wanted to, Bruce could give him any very comfortable position.But Clark is all about squeezing the subway, going to work, getting scolded for being too clumsy, and living his life pretty tight.
So if he could choose, Clark would prefer to live in the metropolis with Celia for a long time.It's just... To be honest, it's more convenient to have Manhattan full of superhumans. As long as Clark is wearing casual clothes, he can naturally fly around at the height prescribed by the city without being noticed.
There is another benefit. In Manhattan, where superhero bases are everywhere, Superman can finally feel more at ease with Celia. He has always been afraid that she will not be able to control her ability and cause damage to human cities.Here, even if Celia's strength is abnormal, the panic caused will be ignored.
"You underestimate me. I have been training since I was three years old. Did you know how to walk when you were three years old?" To Clark's concern, Celia retorted mercilessly, "As a fighter Mage, I have much finer control over myself than you can control the temperature of cooking. Speaking of which—this place is so close to the Avengers' base, I want to find Jarvis."
"No." Clark said, "You're already with me, and you go to Jarvis for dinner every day. Stark can use this to laugh at me for 50 years."
"But your cooking doesn't taste good." Xilia said with a bitter face.
Clark's culinary skills grew rapidly in the two months after the two actually got together, and soon the skills surpassed the peak of his youth.However, he must be much worse than Jarvis.
The bread in the oven was baked, Superman opened the oven and took the bread out with a pair of thick oven mitts.
In fact, he could take it out with bare hands, but Celia thought the oven mitts were so cute, so she insisted on choosing a pair of dark purple gloves——Clark really didn’t understand, it’s nothing for her to like gloves, but how cute is this color? up? ?
"Feel it with your heart." Clark pushed the bread to Helia, and muttered like a magic voice, "No matter how human Jarvis is, he is only intelligent. Everything he makes is superficial, without love. The food made by Hexin is not delicious at all. Even if the wisdom of human beings has learned all the steps of the craftsmanship, it will still be a little bit worse."
"But Ah Fu is also a human being, and your cooking is not as good as his." Xilia snorted.
"Gotham and Metropolis have different genres." Clark didn't change his face.
Superman always looks serious, and sometimes Celia can't tell if he's doing it on purpose or not.There is no way, Xilia, who has been spoiled by two world-class chefs, can only eat the bread made by Clark with her heart, hoping to feel the bonus of human craftsmanship.
It's strange to say that Clark and Celia have been together for two months. It may be that the brain circuits of the two of them are different from those of normal people when they fall in love. After they got together, they quickly entered the state of being married for ten years.Celia does not have the need for romance and surprises like ordinary girls, and it is just right to match Superman, who is particularly straight and stubborn in some respects.
If an ordinary earth woman is with Superman, she may worry about the future, worry about the relationship between Superman and other superheroes, worry about his policies, and even disagree with his ideas.Perhaps as time goes on, a woman's nature will make her dislike such a covert life. If she is more righteous, it will be easier to argue with Superman.
And the big pig's hooves have no mercy for Celia, and don't care about those messy things at all.Even now, she lives in the house on weekdays and rarely goes out. Even if she goes out, she must be accompanied by a superman. Perhaps for some people on earth, it is no different from imprisonment.But Celia didn't care either.The 20 years of living on the starship made her develop a very nerdy personality.Without having to train with people every day, Xilia let herself be lazier and lazier.
So the two are very harmonious. Apart from aesthetics and diet, they don't need any running-in or friction.
The daily life of the two of them is to eat breakfast, watch movies together, play games with Celia in Superman's arms while watching the surveillance, eat lunch, play games, read books, finish eating, and applaud for love-this kind of life doesn't matter It doesn't seem to make a difference whether you're in the North Pole or in Manhattan.
Celia lived quite comfortably like this, but Clark felt that this was not very good.Men are so unreasonable.When Celia stayed at home every day, Clark hoped that she would go out and make friends more often.But Celia went out to make friends, and Clark saw that her friends were not pleasing to the eye.
He wanted to let Celia go shopping by herself, but he was worried—it wasn't because he was worried that she would do bad things to the city, but simply because he hadn't had such an intimate relationship with people for too long.He would be reassured that Celia was in a certain place, or he would be thinking about it all the time, as Celia had been at Barry's for a few days.
Superman is like an old father who finally found his missing child. He wished he could take Celia with him every time he went to the toilet, otherwise he would always feel like persecution paranoia, thinking that something would happen to her.But at the same time, he understood that apart from superheroes, there were not many people on this earth who could deal with Silia.
Finally, after struggling for another week, Clark made up his mind that they should integrate into the lives of ordinary superhumans.He plans to start with simple things, such as going to the cinema to watch a movie, buying snacks at the convenience store in the neighborhood with Celia every day, strolling by the river, going to the supermarket once a week for shopping, and going to a large furniture store twice a month , to add objects to the home.
Oh yes.And dating.In short, they must always be out in the crowd, not trapped in a small North Pole in Manhattan.
In addition, Clark felt that they had better train more. He wanted to find out exactly what Celia's ability was and how powerful it would be.
The largest superhuman training and testing base in the entire United States is owned by the X-Men. If two Kryptonians want to test, it is best to go to a more professional place.Of course, there is no rush.
So, in the fall of Manhattan, the two began to frequent public places.
In the beginning, Superman's casual clothes would choose suits because of Celia's preferences.He wiped his hair so that his suit would look clean and elegant.However, when the two go out on a date, Superman is always sensitive to the attention that almost every woman passing by returns to him.Some bold women will look directly at him, and the timid ones will peek at him behind his back.
Clark always tensed up at first from these looks—he thought someone had discovered his true identity.
It wasn't until one date, when they were resting at the open-air drink shop by the river, that Clark went to the payment counter to order a drink alone, and two women came up to him and asked for his phone number. It's handsome.
Superman was already extraordinary and handsome.Putting on a suit is naturally very eye-catching.He had stayed with Xilia for a long time, and was influenced by her distorted sense of aesthetics, sometimes he would doubt his own appearance in the mirror... Suddenly returning to the normal world, he was not quite used to it.
He stiffly rejected the two ladies' invitations with a bit of social anxiety. After ordering the meal, Clark looked for the nearest vendor in the riverside park on the interface of the contact lens, and found a roadside convenience store three kilometers away.
"I'm going to do some shopping, and I'll be back in five minutes." Clark returned to the table and said to Celia. Celia nodded obediently, and Clark hooked the corner of his mouth before leaving.
The speed limit in this park is one kilometer every 30 seconds, and Clark quickly reached the entrance of the convenience store.
He walked in, chose a black glasses frame, and put it on the bridge of his nose—well, he seemed to be looking more ordinary in the mirror.It's just that this suit really shows off your temperament and figure.Clarke would have been more ordinary if he had been bulkier with his glasses.But wearing a suit and glasses still looks a bit conspicuous.But something is better than nothing. Clark chose the glasses, and saw that there were snacks on the shelf next to him, so he couldn't help but took two bags.
"Clark?" Just then, he heard a somewhat familiar female voice.
Clark turned his head, and he saw Louise standing on the other side of the shelf.The woman was wearing an exquisite suit and skirt as always, and she was holding a bottle of yogurt in her hand.Both looked at each other in a bit of astonishment.
"Louise?" Clark said in disbelief. "How are you in Manhattan?"
"That's what I wanted to ask too," Louise said.She looked a little surprised and a little happy, but the woman was already very mature, and she quickly turned that joy into a chuckle at the corner of her mouth, "I didn't expect to meet you here, do you work here? ?”
The convenience store is obviously not a place for chatting. Pedestrians come and go, and they stand here a bit too blocking other people.The good etiquette that Clark has cultivated since he was a child allowed him to extend his hand politely even after more than ten years without having sex with women, signaling Louise to go first and let her pay the bill first.
At the same time, all the experiences of Louise over the years have been called out in his contact lenses.
Louise is indeed a capable and strong woman.In the past 15 years, no matter how turbulent the world is, her position has been steadily rising, and now she has achieved the second-in-command position of the "Daily Planet".All well-known large companies have branches in human and superhuman cities, and the profession of journalist is a rare job that flows between the two urban areas.Of course, the human reporters who can enter Manhattan to report must be top-notch in the industry, which is why Louise can appear in Manhattan.
Of course, the supercomputer's personal comments on her are also very eye-catching: she has the advantages of being shrewd and capable, purposeful, willing to endure hardships, and strong perseverance, but her excellent grades make her a little self-confident and extreme. Reports often slam superheroes poised to seize political power.This also led her to conclude: vigilance is needed and follow-up management should be strengthened.
The 2 minutes it takes for Lois to check out is long enough for Superman to read all of her files.
When Clark was paying the bill, the woman's eyes kept turning around behind him. She looked at Clark from head to toe, and she smiled softly when Clark also paid the bill.
"Your habits haven't changed. Why did you buy a pair of glasses? You look the most handsome when you show your face."
"I'm definitely used to it," Clark said.
His mind was thinking about other things... one minute and a half three kilometers, which is impossible for humans.Did Louise see him when she was outside?If you see it, with Louise's character, it will be a little trouble to make it clear.
"You've changed a lot." The two came to the main road in the park outside the supermarket, and Louise said, "The suit suits you very well, but..." Her eyes fell on the snacks in the bag in his hand, "I don't know I know you still have the habit of eating snacks?"
"Occasionally hungry," Clark said.
His demeanor was polite but distant.After being Superman for so many years, he is still not used to communicating with ordinary people.He really wasn't in the mood to say more—he promised Celia to go back in 5 minutes.Judging from his understanding of Xilia during these days, Xilia cares about promises very much.
"We can take a walk by the river and chat." Louise suggested.She sighed softly, "In fact, I have always wanted to know your experience after leaving the company. You were my first intern at that time. Sometimes I would think of the past and feel that I was a little too harsh on you. It's..."
"Louise." Clark called her off.He said helplessly, "You don't have to worry about the past. The reason I left my job was because my parents passed away. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to feel guilty..."
"Why are you always so kind-hearted?" The woman's habitually frowned eyebrows slowly relaxed, and she said with complicated eyes, "Really, Clark. I was also young at that time, and I was a little bit self-important. After I became your team leader, I always disliked you for being clumsy. But after so many years, I discovered that honest and kind-hearted people are the most valuable in this society. So I have always been hard to forget my harshness towards you... If You really forgive me, so can we reconnect and be friends?"
Clark was silent.Does he give it or not?From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to exchange cell phone numbers with Louise. He really wasn't prejudiced against her. On the contrary, it was because Louise was too good and sensitive, and he didn't want her to see any clues.But if they don't give it, will they continue to entangle here?
Clark looked at Louise, and in order to show that he really didn't mind, he said as gently and tactfully as possible, "Louise, I've never been angry with you. It's just...it's not convenient for me to give you the phone number .”
"Why?" Louise frowned again.
"My girlfriend is very controlling, and she'll be mad if I leave your phone number," Clark said as sincerely as possible. You can understand me, okay?"
Louise stood there, confused and in disbelief at first, but after a few seconds, confusion turned to humiliated sullenness.For a woman as confident as she is in a position of power, Clark's refusal seemed to imply that she had ulterior motives.
"I hope you can understand that I have no other thoughts about you." Louise said a little unhappily. !"
Louise turned and left.
Clark glanced at his watch—seven minutes had passed.In order to avoid being seen by Louise, he ran back at a human speed.
When he returned to the open-air drink shop, Clark saw that Celia was still sitting at the round table, obedient and not moving.In front of her were the drinks and sweets that she had just ordered, each of which remained untouched, as if waiting for him to come back.
Clark's mood couldn't help but cheer up because of this little thing.A little villain who has never cared about other people, but now waits for him to come back and has not touched a bite of her favorite food. Doesn't this mean that she cares about him more and more?
Even if she didn't have a heart, he would pinch one of his own and stuff it in.
"Here you are." Superman handed the bag to Celia, then pulled out a chair and sat across from her.
"Isn't it 5 minutes?" Xi Liya lowered her head and pulled the plastic bag, "You have been gone for 1 minutes."
"Sorry, it won't be so slow next time," Clark said.
He took his drink, and Celia raised her head, her gaze circled his upper body.Clark didn't notice anything wrong, he took a sip of his drink, and then pushed the plate with the cake towards Celia.
"Eat."
"it is good."
Celia picked up the fork, looked up at Clark again, and ate the cake.Clark's newly cultivated Celia radar made him always feel that Celia's extra flick was a bit disturbing.
The corners of Clark's mouth were slightly hooked, and his blue eyes were blinking - this was an extremely innocent, or in other words, when Clark felt that there was something wrong with Celia, and he wanted to survive, he deliberately showed a well-behaved expression.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly, then picked up his drink.
"Did you just chat with your ex-colleague Louise?" Celia said.
Clark paused as he drank water, put down his glass, and opened his eyes slightly.
"How...how did you know?"
"She didn't change the perfume." Celia explained calmly.She looked up and said, "Oh, I see her."
Clark: ...
Wait, what's going on here? ?Did he do something wrong again without noticing?He thought it was a trivial matter, needless to say, should he actually say it?
Clark is a bit party.
"We just met by chance." He whispered, "I didn't know that I would meet her, we didn't even leave a mobile phone number... I don't know why she came here, she just walked in the opposite direction."
Yes, why did Louise come here? ?And it's really nothing, why does it feel so strange after saying it?
Observe Xilia again, Xilia is eating cake normally, and there is no clue on her expression.It seems that the two of them are just chatting... But since the 'Barry incident', Superman has learned that he can't observe Celia's thoughts from the surface, and in this situation, the calmer and more normal she appears, the more likely the hidden thunder will be. big.
Clark is more square.
"Helia, don't be angry..." he said as gently as possible.
"Why should I be angry? Have you forgotten that I can't be angry?" Celia looked at him, and she smiled, "Eat, Clark."
... This smile made Clark panic again.
What's the matter?It's as if he was happy to buy a pair of glasses, but suddenly he was covered by a scapegoat.If I had known earlier, I would not have gone.He himself was very satisfied with Louise's attitude and handling, and he really had a clear conscience, but why did he feel guilty when he was in front of Celia?
"I'll turn on the monitoring settings now, and I'll walk around when she's within one kilometer of me in the future, okay?" Superman tried his best to comfort her.He still kept his voice low and magnetic, and only the ending sound could be heard a little bit wronged, "I really didn't think that much just now, I didn't hide it on purpose. I swear if there is such a thing in the future, I will tell you everything."
Celia put down her fork, and she sighed softly.
"You underestimate me. I can tell if you're lying or what you've done just by looking at you. So I know what you're saying is true." She said, "But you should also understand that in fact we It's one of a kind. If you don't like me around other people, then neither do I. Especially this kind of earth woman you know from the past and still like you."
Celia's last words directly stunned Clark.
"How is it possible? It's absolutely impossible!" He murmured, "We haven't seen each other for 15 years, how could she like me?"
"A person who doesn't like you doesn't leave and then come back unwillingly to see who you're dating." Shelia said, "It's impossible to stand across the road for 10 minutes just to see clearly." What do I look like...Does the aesthetics of your earth prefer a handsome man with Yujie? She is shocking my age now and feels insulted."
Superman didn't have time to answer Celia's question now, because he was so surprised.For the first time, he had a more obvious intuition about Celia's control over other people's thoughts and attitudes.It turns out that Celia can not only judge a person's mood and truth through their eyes or breath, but also accurately analyze what they think from their expressions.
It's just horrible.As she learned more about humans, Clark even felt that he might never be able to fool her eyes in the future.
"Xilia, I really don't know..." Under such shock, he could only mutter to himself.
Celia took a deep breath, crossing her arms around her chest.She glanced behind Superman again, 300 meters away, the woman named Louise hadn't left yet.The eyesight of people on earth is naturally not as good as hers, so Celia can see Louise's expression clearly, but Louise is still trying to look around.
When she saw the woman's figure, she knew that Louise was the kind that fit the aesthetics of people on Earth, with a slim figure and good proportions.She remembered that on the way out today, many women on earth gave Clark a sideways look.Well, it seems that he did not lie to her before, and his appearance should also be very popular with human aesthetics.
Celia won't be angry, so of course she doesn't have any emotions such as jealousy, anger, possessiveness, and a sense of crisis that she has never had before.She's definitely not angry, she's just too sensitive to smell Superman's independent, cold perfume that is very suitable for a strong woman and is a little annoying.
She still likes the state of Superman before, at least no one dares to chat with him, except for the clean and clear breath of the North Pole, there are no messy things on his body, and no one dares to look at him.
Celia was breathing out luck unconsciously, but she herself didn't seem to notice it at all.Superman was rubbing his fingers with drooping eyelashes, and he didn't even look back once in a desperate desire to survive.He did a good job of that without adding fuel to the fire.
The alien girl who experienced the sense of crisis and jealousy for the first time in her life did not understand what the emotions were surging in her heart. Celia just didn't like Louise standing there, she was peeping at her belongings, the only thing that belonged to her her.
"Come and kiss me," Celia said.
Superman immediately took this as a sign of reconciliation, and the two of them were too far away from each other, so Clark got up and came to Celia, squatted down, and kissed her lips sideways.Amid the friendly chuckles from other round tables, the two parted from each other.They all knew that this time Louise must have left.
"Don't come out in the future, just stay at home." Clark was terrified.He felt that it was not that Celia was not suitable for the earth, but that he was not suitable for integrating back into the human community now.Being in isolation for so long, communicating with others has become something Clark has somewhat to overcome.
After a long interval of sixteen or seventeen years, Louise once again gave him a psychological shadow.
"No." Xilia said, "We have to come out every day, and I must find out what is going on with creatures like you Earthlings."
Clark: ...
So why on earth did he not expect that Celia actually remembered Louise who he only met once two months ago?Why did he drag Celia out for a date, who is so good at playing games?Why does he have to buy glasses today? ?
It is true that people sit at home, and disasters come from heaven.
He spent the purest and youngest days in his life in the metropolis. Although he couldn't control the scale of pretending to be an ordinary person at that time, those days of ordinary people are really the best in his memory. It's time.
Bruce never understood why Clark didn't go to Wayne Group at that time. If he wanted to, Bruce could give him any very comfortable position.But Clark is all about squeezing the subway, going to work, getting scolded for being too clumsy, and living his life pretty tight.

"Occasionally hungry," Clark said.
His demeanor was polite but distant.After being Superman for so many years, he is still not used to communicating with ordinary people.He really wasn't in the mood to say more—he promised Celia to go back in 5 minutes.Judging from his understanding of Xilia during these days, Xilia cares about promises very much.
"We can take a walk by the river and chat." Louise suggested.She sighed softly, "In fact, I have always wanted to know your experience after leaving the company. You were my first intern at that time. Sometimes I would think of the past and feel that I was a little too harsh on you. It's..."
"Louise." Clark called her off.He said helplessly, "You don't have to worry about the past. The reason I left my job was because my parents passed away. It has nothing to do with you. You don't need to feel guilty..."
"Why are you always so kind-hearted?" The woman's habitually frowned eyebrows slowly relaxed, and she said with complicated eyes, "Really, Clark. I was also young at that time, and I was a little bit self-important. After I became your team leader, I always disliked you for being clumsy. But after so many years, I discovered that honest and kind-hearted people are the most valuable in this society. So I have always been hard to forget my harshness towards you... If You really forgive me, so can we reconnect and be friends?"
Clark was silent.Does he give it or not?From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to exchange cell phone numbers with Louise. He really wasn't prejudiced against her. On the contrary, it was because Louise was too good and sensitive, and he didn't want her to see any clues.But if they don't give it, will they continue to entangle here?
Clark looked at Louise, and in order to show that he really didn't mind, he said as gently and tactfully as possible, "Louise, I've never been angry with you. It's just...it's not convenient for me to give you the phone number .”
"Why?" Louise frowned again.
"My girlfriend is very controlling, and she'll be mad if I leave your phone number," Clark said as sincerely as possible. You can understand me, okay?"
Louise stood there, confused and in disbelief at first, but after a few seconds, confusion turned to humiliated sullenness.For a woman as confident as she is in a position of power, Clark's refusal seemed to imply that she had ulterior motives.
"I hope you can understand that I have no other thoughts about you." Louise said a little unhappily. !"
Louise turned and left.
Clark glanced at his watch—seven minutes had passed.In order to avoid being seen by Louise, he ran back at a human speed.
When he returned to the open-air drink shop, Clark saw that Celia was still sitting at the round table, obedient and not moving.In front of her were the drinks and sweets that she had just ordered, each of which remained untouched, as if waiting for him to come back.
Clark's mood couldn't help but cheer up because of this little thing.A little villain who has never cared about other people, but now waits for him to come back and has not touched a bite of her favorite food. Doesn't this mean that she cares about him more and more?
Even if she didn't have a heart, he would pinch one of his own and stuff it in.
"Here you are." Superman handed the bag to Celia, then pulled out a chair and sat across from her.
"Isn't it 5 minutes?" Xi Liya lowered her head and pulled the plastic bag, "You have been gone for 1 minutes."
"Sorry, it won't be so slow next time," Clark said.
He took his drink, and Celia raised her head, her gaze circled his upper body.Clark didn't notice anything wrong, he took a sip of his drink, and then pushed the plate with the cake towards Celia.
"Eat."
"it is good."
Celia picked up the fork, looked up at Clark again, and ate the cake.Clark's newly cultivated Celia radar made him always feel that Celia's extra flick was a bit disturbing.
The corners of Clark's mouth were slightly hooked, and his blue eyes were blinking - this was an extremely innocent, or in other words, when Clark felt that there was something wrong with Celia, and he wanted to survive, he deliberately showed a well-behaved expression.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly, then picked up his drink.
"Did you just chat with your ex-colleague Louise?" Celia said.
Clark paused as he drank water, put down his glass, and opened his eyes slightly.
"How...how did you know?"
"She didn't change the perfume." Celia explained calmly.She looked up and said, "Oh, I see her."
Clark: ...
Wait, what's going on here? ?Did he do something wrong again without noticing?He thought it was a trivial matter, needless to say, should he actually say it?
Clark is a bit party.
"We just met by chance." He whispered, "I didn't know that I would meet her, we didn't even leave a mobile phone number... I don't know why she came here, she just walked in the opposite direction."
Yes, why did Louise come here? ?And it's really nothing, why does it feel so strange after saying it?
Observe Xilia again, Xilia is eating cake normally, and there is no clue on her expression.It seems that the two of them are just chatting... But since the 'Barry incident', Superman has learned that he can't observe Celia's thoughts from the surface, and in this situation, the calmer and more normal she appears, the more likely the hidden thunder will be. big.
Clark is more square.
"Helia, don't be angry..." he said as gently as possible.
"Why should I be angry? Have you forgotten that I can't be angry?" Celia looked at him, and she smiled, "Eat, Clark."
... This smile made Clark panic again.
What's the matter?It's as if he was happy to buy a pair of glasses, but suddenly he was covered by a scapegoat.If I had known earlier, I would not have gone.He himself was very satisfied with Louise's attitude and handling, and he really had a clear conscience, but why did he feel guilty when he was in front of Celia?
"I'll turn on the monitoring settings now, and I'll walk around when she's within one kilometer of me in the future, okay?" Superman tried his best to comfort her.He still kept his voice low and magnetic, and only the ending sound could be heard a little bit wronged, "I really didn't think that much just now, I didn't hide it on purpose. I swear if there is such a thing in the future, I will tell you everything."
Celia put down her fork, and she sighed softly.
"You underestimate me. I can tell if you're lying or what you've done just by looking at you. So I know what you're saying is true." She said, "But you should also understand that in fact we It's one of a kind. If you don't like me around other people, then neither do I. Especially this kind of earth woman you know from the past and still like you."
Celia's last words directly stunned Clark.
"How is it possible? It's absolutely impossible!" He murmured, "We haven't seen each other for 15 years, how could she like me?"
"A person who doesn't like you doesn't leave and then come back unwillingly to see who you're dating." Shelia said, "It's impossible to stand across the road for 10 minutes just to see clearly." What do I look like...Does the aesthetics of your earth prefer a handsome man with Yujie? She is shocking my age now and feels insulted."
Superman didn't have time to answer Celia's question now, because he was so surprised.For the first time, he had a more obvious intuition about Celia's control over other people's thoughts and attitudes.It turns out that Celia can not only judge a person's mood and truth through their eyes or breath, but also accurately analyze what they think from their expressions.
It's just horrible.As she learned more about humans, Clark even felt that he might never be able to fool her eyes in the future.
"Xilia, I really don't know..." Under such shock, he could only mutter to himself.
Celia took a deep breath, crossing her arms around her chest.She glanced behind Superman again, 300 meters away, the woman named Louise hadn't left yet.The eyesight of people on earth is naturally not as good as hers, so Celia can see Louise's expression clearly, but Louise is still trying to look around.
When she saw the woman's figure, she knew that Louise was the kind that fit the aesthetics of people on Earth, with a slim figure and good proportions.She remembered that on the way out today, many women on earth gave Clark a sideways look.Well, it seems that he did not lie to her before, and his appearance should also be very popular with human aesthetics.
Celia won't be angry, so of course she doesn't have any emotions such as jealousy, anger, possessiveness, and a sense of crisis that she has never had before.She's definitely not angry, she's just too sensitive to smell Superman's independent, cold perfume that is very suitable for a strong woman and is a little annoying.
She still likes the state of Superman before, at least no one dares to chat with him, except for the clean and clear breath of the North Pole, there are no messy things on his body, and no one dares to look at him.
Celia was breathing out luck unconsciously, but she herself didn't seem to notice it at all.Superman was rubbing his fingers with drooping eyelashes, and he didn't even look back once in a desperate desire to survive.He did a good job of that without adding fuel to the fire.
The alien girl who experienced the sense of crisis and jealousy for the first time in her life did not understand what the emotions were surging in her heart. Celia just didn't like Louise standing there, she was peeping at her belongings, the only thing that belonged to her her.
"Come and kiss me," Celia said.
Superman immediately took this as a sign of reconciliation, and the two of them were too far away from each other, so Clark got up and came to Celia, squatted down, and kissed her lips sideways.Amid the friendly chuckles from other round tables, the two parted from each other.They all knew that this time Louise must have left.
"Don't come out in the future, just stay at home." Clark was terrified.He felt that it was not that Celia was not suitable for the earth, but that he was not suitable for integrating back into the human community now.Being in isolation for so long, communicating with others has become something Clark has somewhat to overcome.
After a long interval of sixteen or seventeen years, Louise once again gave him a psychological shadow.
"No." Xilia said, "We have to come out every day, and I must find out what is going on with creatures like you Earthlings."
Clark: ...
So why on earth did he not expect that Celia actually remembered Louise who he only met once two months ago?Why did he drag Celia out for a date, who is so good at playing games?Why does he have to buy glasses today? ?
It is true that people sit at home, and disasters come from heaven.
