Recently, Celia has spent much less time playing games, and her game addiction has passed the original level.Her current direction of interest has turned to browsing various communication software and social apps for people on earth.She thinks that these 60 billion people on earth are really interesting, everyone has weird ways of living and sharing various dynamics.

In the first ten days of October, the temperature in Manhattan has started to cool slightly.

Even though Celia and Clark didn't feel cold, they still changed into long-sleeved jackets—oh, Clark doesn't count, because he's been obsessed with his jacket since the beginning of the change, regardless of the weather.

She has recently started to pay attention to some fashion bloggers. In addition to the latest dressing guides for trendy men and women, there are also various couple outfits for men and women.Celia looked at Clark again like the bloated image of a truck driver in the last century... a new light bulb appeared above her head.

In addition to the slight difference in the aesthetics of Silia and the earth people, in fact, the aesthetics of races similar to Homo sapiens in the whole universe are basically the same in terms of body shape, figure and how to dress.

She was ambivalent about Clark's clothing attitude before.She also thinks that Superman looks better in suits and clothes that show his figure, but she doesn't like other earth women to pay attention to him.But when she saw the couple outfits shared by those bloggers, she suddenly understood—Superman can dress very handsomely, as long as everyone can see that he is in charge.

Xilia didn't plan to buy according to the styles in those illustrations. As an alien who has always believed in her own aesthetics, of course she has to do things by herself when buying clothes and matching them.It's just that she is very democratic, showing Clark all those photos and letting him choose some styles he likes.

When Clark saw those unorthodox couple T-shirts, he had mixed feelings.He only saw this kind of couple shirts when he was in high school and college. He never expected that when he graduated more than ten years ago and was in his 30s, he would see this kind of youthful clothes again.

He will definitely not wear it.

Just kidding, walking on the street and letting other Chaoying see him, he will be ridiculed by the crowd for ten years.

"Do you like this very much?" So Clark asked as calmly as possible.

"I don't like it." Celia put her hand against her face, and she lay on the bed with her feet up, "but I think you will like this kind of dress."

Superman breathed a sigh of relief calmly, and he decisively deleted the image.

"You have to consider my age, Celia. I don't suit the style of this young man," he said. "I tend to be more mature."

Hmm... ok.

So...that's right, even if his girlfriend is an alien, Superman did not escape the fate of a man on Earth in the end-to go shopping with his girlfriend.

The two went to the famous central business district of Manhattan. Although ordinary humans could no longer come to Manhattan after apartheid, the number of people here did not seem to decrease at all, and there were crowds of people everywhere.

No matter what Celia absorbs and learns, she is faster than ordinary people. She quickly figured out human aesthetics and applied what she learned.The kind of couple outfits with combined patterns is too low-level for her. Couple outfits don't have to be dressed the same, as long as the colors on the body echo each other or the clothing styles are consistent, it will look good.

Even if all the clothes Xilia wants can be delivered directly to her home with a single phone call, isn't the essence of buying clothes just to go shopping and eat along the way?Yes, and milk tea.

Xilia found that people on earth are really good at how to enjoy and self-destroy their bodies, especially milk tea and various desserts - the sweetness of American desserts is much higher than that of other regions, but Xilia likes it very much , she found that not only those high-end dishes are delicious, but also the more junk food, the better the food.She loves sweets very much now.

The two went shopping together, because they didn't care about the amount of money when they spent money. After a few days of shopping, when the two returned home, they not only let Clark hang up like a Christmas tree, but also got a stack of gold membership cards.

Those clerks all found that the girls in this couple were more talkative than the men, so they frantically flattered Xilia, but unfortunately they were not suitable for Xilia regardless of their gender.They are not colorful, and they are not as pleasing to the eye as Clark. Shelia, the little pig's hoof, doesn't have any special feelings for the shop assistants, and she is very hard-hearted in rejecting their redundant sales.

Yes, although Celia's aesthetics haven't completely changed yet, she still looks more pleasing to the eyes of Superman than other people... Maybe this is the kind of mentality of "my dog ​​looks good no matter how long it is"?

After the two returned home, they began to try on clothes again.In fact, Clark refused this. No straight man likes to change clothes for hours, no!

Celia also saw that Superman was not interested in this.If he likes to change clothes, it is impossible for him to wear a uniform of the same color for more than ten years, nor is it possible to wear exactly the same as himself ten years ago even in disguise.But what if you don't like it?

The two tried for a long time surrounded by various shopping bags, and finally they were able to completely classify and match the men's and women's clothes.

The speed at which Clark packed his clothes was like a gust of wind passing by. He packed all the clothes from that place into the closet in a few tens of seconds, for fear that Celia would try again.

After doing all of this, he lay flat on the sofa and had no love in his life.He felt tired, not physically, but mentally.

"Wow, you're like the Powerpuff Girls." Celia squatted beside her face and watched him.

...Clark didn't even want to know what the Powerpuff Girls were.

He used to always hope that Celia would go out and walk around more. After this incident, he found that he wished she could play games at home honestly.Thankfully, Celia has always been hot for 3 minutes. After her enthusiasm for shopping continued to rise for a week, she finally stayed at home safely again.

Just when their lives resumed again, when he went to patrol the sky above the earth and returned to the daily house, Superman received a call-from the head of the metropolis.

Clark had stumbled across identity reselling in the Met last month, and though he promised to teach Bruce about it, he never said he'd stop following it.

The person in charge of the Metropolitan City reported to him that they had tracked down that person for a month, and finally found a new person who wanted to change their identity.The action team deciphered the secret phone call between the two and learned that they will change their identities in the next week.

Although the team was able to crack the encryption of the phone, it is currently unable to find out how they created this secret circuit while avoiding the eyes of surveillance. The technical team believes that the person who can make this encrypted circuit must be very smart. If they follow up rashly, it may be the opposite It will scare the snake.

Moreover, the call from this secret line may involve a huge underground iceberg organization... After all, it is impossible for one or two people to do this, and there is no need to spend a lot of time and risk being discovered. this kind of stuff.

Although Superman and Batman have apparently handed over, the Metropolitan Action Group and its leader still reported to Superman before handling Bruce.

Clark let them continue to follow Bruce's decision to act, and he absolutely trusted Bruce's choice in this regard.It's just... Superman's intuition made him think that this matter could not be so simple.

He decided to go to the metropolis.

Celia didn't know what happened, she just felt that Superman's breath was much more serious when he came back in the evening.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Superman told her exactly what happened.

Xilia thought for a while, "It's really strange. It stands to reason that even if their conversation is encrypted, discussing such illegal things should not escape your super-ear. But you didn't notice it at all?"

Celia was right.Superman's eyebrows furrowed.

"There's something odd about this," he said. "I've got to go to the Metropolis and check it out myself."

"What about me?" Celia asked.

Clark would have liked her to stay in Manhattan, but his visit might take a week.He inexplicably felt that it was very inhumane to let Xilia stay alone for seven days, and he was not worried about her being alone, so he should rest assured that she was by his side.

"You come with me," said Superman.

Celia was very satisfied.She was even a little excited. After coming to Earth for so long, she was finally about to see someone make trouble?

The two headed to the metropolis that night. Anyway, with Clark as an ultra-fast vehicle, it was easier for them to change cities than take the elevator downstairs.Clark rented the single-family apartment in the metropolis for a year, so he just went back and lived there.

The last time they lived here, they were still in a very inexplicable ambiguous period, and they didn't seem very happy when they left here: Superman obviously cared about Celia, but he wanted Celia to live in Barry's house, and this For Xilia, it was undoubtedly an act of abandonment, which made both of them unhappy.

But this time back, everything has changed.

Clark sighed a bit, because even then, he didn't think he'd have anyone he cared about again.This is why he was so entangled at the time.But now...it seems that everything has come to fruition, he can hardly imagine what it would be like now if he had withdrawn and refused to accept new feelings.

At least for now, it was the right thing for him to be with Xilia, and it was a good thing.They are the only ones of the same race, and regardless of what other people think of him and his thoughts and actions, at least Superman knows that Celia is completely biased towards him.This kind of tolerance and sincere support is very important to him.

In the evening, it was late.

On the large double bed, Celia is pillowed on Superman's arm, and he puts his arms around her.The two of them slept in this position every night. Celia got used to the new biological clock. She was about to fall asleep, but she felt that Clark seemed to have something on his mind.

Celia was so close to his chest that she could feel his heartbeat.Whenever he thinks about something, his heart beats a little slower than usual.

Celia opened her eyes, and she raised her chin to look at Clark.

"What are you thinking?"

Clark lowered his head, and he took a long breath that sounded like a sigh.He looked at the way Celia raised her head and blinked her eyes, and he turned his face and kissed her hair.

"I'm definitely thinking about something," he said.

Celia knew him well enough, and she saw a tangled expression similar to melancholy in his blue eyes.This shows that it is not official business, but related to the two of them.Because in official affairs, Superman never hesitates or struggles.

He only showed that look when it came to personal problems.Celia always felt that he had a pair of eyes that were prone to reveal melancholy, but the man's usual aura overwhelmed all of them, so it was not obvious.

"You don't want to discuss with me about human nature, the planet, the universe, the three views, etc.?" Xilia said, "I always feel that we have to have a useless talk every once in a while. .”

Clark was a little helpless. After Celia became more and more familiar with human beings, even the way of speaking gradually approached that of human beings.

"It has nothing to do with those things, I'm just thinking about you and me." Clark said, "Actually, I've been thinking about this since the day I came back from the banquet."

"what?"

"Your conversation with Iron Man," Superman pointed out. "You said we're not suitable for marriage because I want to protect the Earth... Is that what you're thinking?"

"Huh?" Celia was a little confused, she didn't understand what Clark meant.

"Do you think you don't want to have a marriage relationship with other people, or do you think I put the earth before you, so I don't think we are suitable for marriage?" Clark expressed his own understanding.

Well, they are about to start talking about life again.

Celia scratched her head.

"I now understand that you humans attach great importance to marriage, but it's not the case for me." Celia said patiently, "You see, Thanos' mother once wanted to kill him. And the environment I live in There are no blood ties here at all, so I really don't think marriage is necessary. As for the Earth—am I wrong? It's important to you, and you want to protect it with all your heart, and marriage will delay your work. So both of us are not suitable for marriage, besides, for you humans, talking about marriage after only dating for more than a month is a bit too fast, right?"

Since Celia knew about humans, it was harder for her to refute her words.

Clark still couldn't help correcting, "It's been almost two months."

...is there much difference between a month and a month and a half?

Fortunately, Celia is not a man, otherwise she must be the kind of man who can never remember important anniversaries, or even forget what grade her child is in. It sounds easy to be beaten.

Superman has mixed feelings in his heart.Celia is actually very generous. Except that she doesn't like to let other women get close to him, Celia has no difficulty in accepting a possible premise: in Superman's heart, the earth is more important than her.

And she herself felt very normal and understandable.

If she could be like other Chaoying girlfriends who occasionally showed a little temper about "saving the world and the people, who is more important than me", maybe he would not feel so uncomfortable in his heart.Clark frowned slightly, and his blue eyes looked even more melancholy.

He couldn't help reaching out and stroking Celia's cheek.

"You mean as much to me, if not more," he said softly.

honestly?Celia couldn't believe it.Even counting from the first side, the two of them have only known each other for less than half a year.If you only count the time they met by themselves, it was only a little over three months.And Clark grew up on the earth since he was a child. For 15 years, he has lived only for the earth and has no self.

With such an obsession, Celia thought that he would not be shaken by his girlfriend who had only been together for a month... er, two months.

But she does feel that there is nothing wrong with it. It is good to have obsessions, and she lives with goals.Moreover, Thanos had a deep obsession with infinite rough stones and saving the world to wipe out half of the population in the past, and she was used to it.

Superman, or perhaps the superheroes on Earth, are very similar to Thanos in many ways, except that superheroes have emotions, and no matter how indifferent they are, they are more soft-hearted than Thanos.Just like now, Celia can see that Clark is guilty and distressed. She doesn't feel anything, but Superman feels that he is sorry for her.

"I understand." She raised her eyes and comforted her sincerely.

"No, Celia." Clark muttered in a low voice, "You don't understand, you're trying to appease me now, you don't think so at all."

Celia has a headache. People on Earth really value feelings too much, and so does Kar-El, who was raised by people on Earth.

"You don't understand." Xilia said, "You don't have to make things difficult for yourself. This kind of thing doesn't have to be divided. You value the earth. Although I don't care about it here, I can protect it with you ,It is not good?"

It was touching, but not good enough, not far enough.

Superman is determined to give Celia a new life, one completely different from the one she's experienced in the past.He doesn't want her to do anything, just be an ordinary girl and don't have to work hard for anyone's goals and ideas.He also didn't want Xilia to be so obedient and sensible, but...

Celia didn't hear Superman's movement for a long time. She knew that as a strong-minded person in power, a few words from her were not enough to really comfort him.

But she didn't expect that after a while, she felt a cold feeling on her wrist.

Celia raised her hand, and she saw a thin silver chain on her wrist, and the body of the chain was connected by a strange pattern.Although Silia couldn't read it, she knew that the Kryptonian characters were linked together, and in the center of the bracelet, a small dark blue diamond was refracting the tiny light.

Celia was looking at the bracelet, but Superman bowed his head and kissed her forehead tenderly.

"You really don't understand how important you are to me, Celia. Some things cannot be measured by time." The man said, "You changed me, do you understand? You even changed my future. You are not human , so you don't understand what it means. You made me better, and I hope I can give you better things."

"Is this what you want to give me?"

Celia rested on Clark's arm, and she raised her hand to examine the chain on her wrist.

"Yes, Celia." Clark raised his hand, held her hand, and crossed his fingers. Together, they looked at the chain on Celia's wrist.He said softly, "This is a token of love from my family—I mean, the one from my biological family. A man in my family will only give it to one woman in his life, so this is a very serious act. .”

Hearing what he said, Celia raised her head in surprise and looked at Superman, just crashing into the gentle blue ocean.

"Yes, Celia, this is an agreement, my promise to you."

Clark squeezed her hand gently, his eyes fixed on Celia tenderly.

"One day... When the time is right, the earth will enter the stage of space civilization, and I, Kal-El, will leave the earth for you."

"At that time, I will only belong to you."
