Not Crazy yet [Comprehensive British and American]

No one, including the police, asked how Derry got his injuries.

Jonathan slipped Clark a handful of change and told him to stay with the girls.It was also comforting to Jonathan to know that his son had been doing well with the family.

Clark nodded obediently.He knew that his father's hand on his shoulder was shaking.He wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say.

Since he chose to tell Jonathan all this.It is destined to make his father fall into pain and self-blame.This made Clark sad, but he didn't want to regret it.

It would be an insult to Jonathan if he regretted it.

He bought some candy nearby and bought some hot cocoa with the rest of the money.Following Martha's soft cry, he found his mother.

Martha Kent embraced him and kissed him lightly on the side of the cheek.His mother dared not even cry out loud, for fear of irritating the girls in the house.Two of them were so young that they didn't even quite understand what had happened...the possibility that something bad had happened had made his mother's heart ache.

"Go in." She whispered softly in her son's ear.Clark could feel the anger burning in his arms again.He burned again and again, trying to turn the damn liar into a pile of dregs that no one could tell.But the Kryptonian boy looked at her mother's pained expression that was almost pity... just tiptoed and kissed Martha's temple, then forced a cup of hot cocoa and ran away.

Celia tremblingly answered the policeman's question.Then the girl heard light footsteps.She looked up, revealing a tearful young face.

Clark Kent.

Celia looked at the person who opened the door.

... The boy is a weirdo.

Clark had his usual gentle but dazed smile on his lips.Like being really naive enough not to understand what was going on.He handed a cup of hot cocoa to several policemen around him, and then gently handed it to the two little ones, and stuffed them with a handful of sugar... Then he forced a cup to Eric as well.Then he came to her with the last drink.

It seems he thinks I'm the toughest to deal with.

Celia wiped the tears off her face.

Clark has always been an oddball.

The boy was half-kneeling facing her.The policewoman next to her smiled teasingly.But Celia just turned her face away, not wanting to look into Clark's blue eyes.

The boy's right hand was placed on her clasped hands, making her tremble slightly.

"I want to give you this glass with sugar."

When Celia heard this confession-like words, she almost laughed out loud.

But she didn't.Probably not only because she knew Clark was full of good intentions, but also because she really liked the sugary cocoa.

Life is really too bitter for her...even hot chocolate is not sweet enough.

"...But I just don't want to drink. Kent."

She heard her own voice speak quietly.

But Clark just kept staring at her, the silence embarrassing and annoying to her.Celia turned her head to meet Kent's eyes.

The girl looked into those eyes.

The girl was stunned.

"Then you can splash it in my face," she heard Kent's voice say without humor. "This is my tribute to the bravest girl I've ever met."

She stared into those eyes.

"It doesn't deserve to affect your mood. Celia. You are so good..."

It's hard to say whether it comforted Celia.It's really hard to say.But the girl looked at the boy's eyes that were shining with a very different emotion than before.She was almost frightened, and after being frightened, she felt guilty for a while, and after the guilt, she felt wronged for a while.

She pushed him so far away...she wouldn't even say his name...she hated that he didn't know anything.She hated him for being so happy...but why should Clark bear her anger?But why did she...encounter all this...

In the end, Clark couldn't finish his sentence.Celia's emotions finally completely collapsed under the gaze of his blue eyes.The girl knocked down the damned Coco, then slapped Kent.

so light.

Celia cried and hugged Clark.She gave up everything and cried loudly.The two little ones sitting beside were so frightened that they also choked.

Eric was embarrassed by this romantic drama-like plot.And Clark hugged Celia tightly, hanging his head on the girl's shoulder.

He had known Celia for over a year, longer than any child in the family...she had always been like his own sister, they had been really close...but he was so stupid.He didn't realize that something was wrong when Celia ignored him... It wasn't until the girl cut off her long hair that he realized that something bad must have happened...

He's been eavesdropping all the time...he's been listening.

He jumped into the air when the beast wanted to attack Clauria... He wanted to fly to the metropolis, drag the beast out of the house and throw it to the South Pole, even if that wasn't enough, he wanted to treat him even more horribly... ...but Celia was more of a hero than he was a superhuman... The girl paid the price, she got kicked, she got scolded...

Their conversation made him know the truth.It made him know why Celia wanted to cut off the long hair she had always loved.

He used to love that long blond hair so much.

………………

By the time everything was over, it was already afternoon.

Clark heard his parents' earnest desire to have Celia and Eric live in their home first.But the police turned them away because there were no girls in their family.He also promised to let the three girls temporarily live in the home of the female police officer who has a daughter.So in the end they only got Eric.

There was nothing he could do about the outcome.

It's like they can't do anything about Derry.

...that bloody pedophile left no strong evidence against him.The best outcome in the end was to disqualify him from foster care and make him lose his job.

Clark took Celia's hand, lowered his eyes and kissed her fingertips lightly.

Celia was almost amused by the kid.Clark is always very strange, and from time to time he will make some mysterious actions that are intimate but not out of bounds.Many times he feels to her like a baby who has never suffered bad luck, he is natural and intimate to everyone...

But she can also sense the sense of incongruity from time to time.

Sometimes Clark's gentleness is more like he knows it all, accepts it all.

"What, are you going to be my knight?"

The short-haired girl stopped thinking about it and smiled happily.If it weren't for her still red and swollen eyes, no one would have thought that she cried almost all day.

So strong and so beautiful.sparkling with light.

This is people.This is the person he admires from the bottom of his heart, just like his parents.This is the light that appeared when he was deep in the fog.

Clark also showed a shy smile.As if really fascinated by her.

"If you need it, you must give me a high position in the knight list, Celia."

The boy seemed to be sincerely worried and made Celia laugh, and at the same time, the two little girls next to him exclaimed: "It's so romantic" and "Wow——"

Eric, who was holding the child, showed a bored expression and gave Kent a blank look.

They laughed.It almost melted Clark's cold thoughts.

The female police officer walked over with a smile and told them softly that they were about to separate.This made the two little girls groan unhappily.But past experience has made them the most prone to crying, and they are also very well-behaved.Claulia reluctantly let go of her brother of the same skin color.He was hugged by the female police officer in the promise of 'we will meet again'.

Clark looked at Celia's smiling face, and the girl's downcast eyes.Give her a deep hug.

"I'll be your knight." He rubbed his sister's shoulder like a small animal. "Whenever you need me. Be sure to call me."

For a moment, Celia almost burst into tears again.

But what does he know?What can he guarantee? ...he didn't really understand anything, he was just a little boy who thought he could face the cruel world...but he was just really worried about her.He's just been so careful...

He was so careful that he didn't even dare to ask why when she avoided him.

"I will"

In the end, the girl swallowed all the suffering and said to him in a low voice.
