[Comprehensive British and American] The predecessors are missing one

I sighed heavily, holding my forehead, helpless.

"I'm really going to be mad at you. You don't trust me enough, you should trust me. That way we'll never break up."

Eli looked away again. "I didn't know then."

I raised my eyebrows and looked at Yili.Just look at her.

Yili looked left, right, up and down, but there was nowhere to look, so she turned back to look at me reluctantly.

"Why are you trying to kill me!" She pointed at me, frowning and accusing.

...Listen, what are you talking about.I hate her?Where did I get angry with her, I didn't even say a word!

I rolled my eyes, but I didn't know what to do with Yili.What can we do at this time?Resigned to coax her.

"Come here." I opened my arms to Eli, let her lean into my arms, and stroked her long hair.

Eli put her face on my shoulder, pursed her lips, looking unhappy.

I hugged her and thought to myself; Well, it's a good thing I finally proposed.Then I thought, no, it was me in this world who proposed.That being said, when I go back to my original time and space, I have to get Yili back right away.I can't continue to put her in a dead end, and I don't want to wait any longer.

"You should know that I'm not the one you're supposed to hug. You remember that, don't you?" I asked softly.

"Shut up."

I couldn't help laughing.Even without seeing Yili's expression, I can imagine her rolling her eyes.

"Actually, I want to know... who the hell taught you to bring two iron bars to beat people? God, that's the captain of the football team. You haven't even considered what will happen if you lose?"

Eli pushed my chest away and sat up straight.

"Yes, so I called the police before I left." She shrugged, "I originally wanted to set up a trap to give them a record, but I didn't expect to end up arresting us and fighting. Think about it, at that time, all the water pipes nearby The explosion, the earthquake and the wind, and the trees falling down on them, it must be Gaia and Poseidon who are secretly helping. I would win at all, if I knew it, I wouldn’t have called the police.”

"...Who is this female hooligan?" I twitched the corners of my mouth and looked away, "I don't know you. I want to call the police."

Ellie smiled happily. "You're the cop yourself! Are you going to take me? I'm looking forward to it. You're one of the sexiest cops I've ever seen. You're the dream girl of every woman in Midtown. We all want to be arrested and put in bed by you." Go, but only I have the honor."

I felt the heat in my ears, "Eli!"

"Are you going to sleep in the guest room tonight? Honey."

"Eli!!"

……sleep.Of course sleep.Are you kidding, you must sleep!

I want to say... There is still a difference in age. I was completely overwhelmed by 26-year-old Ellie.

I miss the 14-year-old Yili a little bit. After all, at that time, she would not say anything like a hooligan, and she was the sweetest girl in the school. Until she carried two iron pipes and entered the enemy camp alone, and ran to single-handedly play football team captain.

From this point of view, I believe that she is indeed the daughter of Gaia and Poseidon.

Admitting to myself that I still love Ellie made many things easier and more complicated.I was determined to solve the problem so that Yili's real husband, the "me" of this world, would come back, and then I would go back to my original time and space, find Yili, and try to make her accept me again.

That's my plan.

I told Oliver my thoughts, in exchange for his meaningful eyes.

"what?"

"I'm just curious, how can things go so smoothly?"

This sentence is really annoying.

"Don't look at me like that," Oliver said. "By the way, I want to tell you that we have found a time when you can go back to your original time and space. On Wednesday of the second week of next month, at [-] pm, come Watchtower."

The news was too sudden.I froze, the words blurted out.

"So fast?"

Oliver looked at me with even more meaning.

"Didn't you always want to go back?"

"But...I haven't figured out why I'm here. I haven't...not..."

"Nothing yet? Barry, there are still many superheroes in this world, and we are not facing any life-or-death issues. If you really have something to solve, you have to do it within this month, otherwise you are likely to never I can't go back to your original world."

I stared blankly at Oliver.My friend was more ruthless than I remembered him to be.

"Then what if..." I really don't want to make this assumption, but, "If... I don't succeed, what about me in this world...?"

Oliver stared at me with an inscrutable expression.

"I think that's the problem you need to fix," he said.

I just realized now that something was wrong.

In a time and space, theoretically, there will not be two me at the same time.I thought so, so I ignored where the "I" in this world would go after I appeared here.

Is it possible for him to exchange with me and take my place in my original time and space?

If I leave, will he come back?

Questions that I hadn't thought about before suddenly surfaced.If I leave, will the "I" who was originally in this time and space come back?And Yili, what will Yili do?

I'm going to bring back her husband for Eli.I want to do it, I should do it.

Maybe that's why I'm here?

Out of the blue, Iris came to me.

That was my first little weekend with Oliver.I'm about to go on vacation and I want to take advantage of the vacation to discuss the whole thing formally with Ellie.Suddenly Iris appeared in the lobby of the police station, and everyone knew she was looking for me.

"Iris? Why did you come here—"

"Barry, long time no see!"

Iris gave me a hug, and before I had time to react, she looked at me, a little confused, "Did you forget that we have a dinner appointment today? Also, why do you look...you seem to be younger?"

This is the first time I've heard anyone say that to me since I've been here.

Diana didn't respond because when she saw me, I was wearing a battle uniform and a helmet, and then she knew that I had time-traveled.

My colleagues and neighbors didn't respond, maybe they saw me every day and didn't look at me carefully, and I looked at the photos, and my appearance hasn't changed much in the past few years.

Friends know that I am time-traveling.They will not be surprised.

But, why, that morning, Ellie didn't respond to my change...? !

It's so important that I didn't even notice it until now.

"Thank you Iris." I put my hands on Iris' shoulders and thanked her solemnly. "Thank you. I should go."

"What?" Iris frowned in disbelief, "Wait, Barry. I'm here to find you, you want to leave like this?"

I had already run to the door, shouting without looking back, "Isn't and shouldn't be the one you want to eat, Iris!"

I need to talk to Yili, I need to ask her to clarify, now.I thought to myself as I ran past Times Square, catching a glimpse of a passing bus picking up the flock of gray pigeons that lined the square.

Flocks of birds soar high.

I grabbed the feather that had stopped before my eyes.

Yili knows why I travel through time.She knows I'm time-traveling, she's always known.So it was no surprise to her that morning.

But she didn't tell me.

why? !

I ran across the hall.The receptionist and security tried to stop me.I looked back at them.They didn't succeed.I went straight upstairs, and when I showed up in Ellie's office, she followed Clark almost across the corridor.

I turn around.Eli opened the door.I saw her come in talking and laughing with Clark.

Yi Li found me and showed a surprised expression.

So I was even more sure how much I loved Ellie.

"I have something to ask you," I said.

Clark's eyes flicked back and forth between me and Eli, hesitating for two seconds.

"Eli, shall I...wait for you outside?" Clark asked.

I stare at Clark, knowing I'm looking unfriendly, but, seriously, why is he still here?Get out of here.And I believe that Clark also received the words I passed through my eyes, and he walked out with a wry smile.

"If you have something to do, don't wait for me. I will contact you later. Let's do it today." Ellie told Clark, and locked the door after the other party left the office.

We stare at each other.until I speak.

"You didn't tell me anything."

Yili frowned slightly, and asked uncertainly: "If you mean why Clark appeared here..."

"no!"

Suddenly I was a little angry. "You know why I time travel, right? You know everything, but you choose not to say anything. Why?!"

Yi Li stared at me, silent for a while.

I walked up to her and couldn't help but put my hands on her shoulders. "I feel like an idiot, being played around by you. You already knew the answer──"

"But I can't tell!"

Eli interrupted me, also raising the volume.She looked straight at me with so much emotion in her eyes that I didn't understand.

"I can't say anything, you are fine for me?!" She yelled, pushed me away, and pointed at the wall, "You don't understand that I am afraid of what I did wrong every day! We have discussed it a long time ago This matter, and all possible outcomes have been discussed, do you think I’m not worried? I love you, I don’t want to lose you, but I can’t do anything!”

At the end of the yelling, Yili even panted a little.I looked at her and realized, belatedly, that I had broken her heart.

A knock on the door interrupted our quarrel.Yili turned her head, glared at me, and went to open the door with a straight face.

Outside the door is her colleague.Looking at her nervously, he said, "Ms. Jackson, someone broke into the building just now. We traced the intruder to your office..."

From behind, I could see Eli taking a deep breath.

"It's all right. Someone I know," she said, her tone steady. "Go back to work, no problem."

After dismissing the comer, Eli turned and stared at me.

For a moment, neither of us spoke.

"I……"

I wanted to say something, but I could only lower my head, and every word rehearsed in my heart seemed clumsy.

Eli sighed softly.

"I've got work to do, Barry," she said.

I slump my shoulders.

"Then I... leave first."
