Chapter 42

Fu Jiang stopped his movements, and in the meantime, Eric pointed the finger at Agent Mora.He and Charles are two completely different people.When something unfortunate happens to him, Charles will always be the first to think about how it will affect the people around him, and Eric...

Eric will go find the person who caused all this.

He hates the world so much that Eric is always more reluctant to let go of his inner resentment and hatred than to solve the problem.

He pointed the finger at Agent Mora, the anger distorted his handsome facial features, and there was a storm in the depths of his green eyes: "It's you——"

"You caused all this—"

Fu Jiang treated this indifferently.She watched Agent Mora being comforted by Eric's surrounding magnetic field, and the necklace around her neck became a life-threatening rope, hoisting her into the air!

Fu Jiang clenched her fingers, she was waiting for Mora's "death sentence".Only this is willing to calm the anger in her heart.

In this regard, Fu Jiang and Eric are the same kind of people.

They are all equally egotistical, self-willed, and never tolerant.

"No...don't do that, Eric!" Charles stopped.However, his calling with all his strength was nothing but weak whispers.Neither Eric nor Fu Jiang was moved.

They prioritized themselves before listening to Charles.

Because of this, Charles had to say even more exaggerated and cruel words to weaken Eric's killing intent towards Mora: "You shouldn't blame her, Eric!" Charles closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, The wavering in those blue eyes had disappeared, and his tone was firm: "It was you, you hurt me."

Eric withdrew his hand.

This tall and elegant man could hardly believe his ears!He turned around hesitantly, and slowly came to Charles' side step by step.His voice became hoarse: "No, Charles, you shouldn't think so."

"Humans want us to turn against each other, but we should be united..." He clenched Charles' hand tightly: "You should be on my side, we are brothers. We should be united...to protect each other and unite with each other .”

"We should work together to create a more suitable environment for human survival!"

However, it is a pity that Eric's passionate speech did not impress Charles in the end. After staring at Eric for a long time, he finally shook his head slowly: "I am a mutant...but I am also a human being."

However, their conversation did not go on in the end.

When Mora's hoarse scream sounded, everyone noticed that Fu Jiang had come to her side at some point.The girl, who wasn't even as tall as Agent Mora, strangled Mora's neck with just one hand.The huge strength caused Agent Mora's knees to sink on the beach, and she could only be forced to look up at Fu Jiang.

Charles was shocked by what he saw.He tried to get up, but his body didn't listen to him at all.

He wanted to stop Fu Jiang, but before he could speak, the girl turned her head.

Her perfect facial features are still dazzling on this piece of sandy beach where the gunpowder has not cleared, and her obsidian-like eyes are deep and deep, staring at Charles with a calm expression.

Then Fu Jiang shook his head slowly: "No, no need to say more, Charles."

She raised the corners of her lips, showing an almost innocent smile: "No matter what you say, I will not forgive her."

"terribly sorry."

Fu Jiang apologized without sincerity.As the voice fell, the slender fingers exerted light force, and Charles almost had the illusion that he could hear the [clicking sound] when the neck was broken!But no, he didn't hear any sound, he could only see that the fingers easily pinched Mo La's neck.

The life that was still alive a moment ago hung its head lifelessly.

Charles saw Fu Jiang casually throwing Mora aside, and the woman who had been with him for many days fell down on the beach in an extremely distorted and embarrassed posture, with half of her face buried in the soil.And Fu Jiang?Fu Jiang was unmoved.

She just walked over to Charles' side again.

This time, the blue-eyed man didn't smile at her again.

Charles avoided Fu Jiang's hand reaching out to him.

The girl lowered her eyes in disappointment, the grievance and sadness on her face disappeared in a flash, and she forced herself to show an indifferent smile.Charles saw all this in his eyes, but he still didn't know how to suppress himself. It was me who was against Fu Jiang.Eric witnessed all this in his eyes.

This mature and stern man also became inexplicably depressed and heavy.He even wanted to ask Fu Jiang why he could do so much to Charles?Especially since she knew that Charles would not appreciate it at all.

Charles is totally different from them. The only person who can understand Fu Jiang is himself——

But Eric didn't ask anything in the end, he just turned around to face Hank and Raven.After a long confrontation, Eric pointed to the fleet still waiting for orders in the distance: "Human society will not accept us..."

"Here, we will always be vigilant against aliens!"

"The sword is already pointed at us, they won't have any sympathy and understanding for us—"

"As mutants, only we can survive together!"

Eric clenched his fists: "Instead of waiting for humans to give us a piece of air...why don't we build a world together that allows mutants to survive?!"

Eric stopped.

He leaves time for others to think.

Then he held out his hand.The palm was up, as if waiting for someone to hold his hand.Eric asked, "Who wants to join me?"

When the words fell, those emerald green pupils flashed across Fu Jiang's cheeks.His hand moved to Fu Jiang, and he was waiting for her to come to him.

Charles silently clenched the sand under his body, which revealed his inner emotions. He was not as indifferent to Fu Jiang as he had shown, and he didn't really want to drive her away.

However, he didn't say anything in the end, just pursed his lips silently.Charles knew that Fu Jiang had the right to choose, which was related to her future and the truest desire in her heart.He shouldn't disturb her decision at such a critical moment.

Whatever Charles might think, in the end he did so with dignity and dignity: he didn't speak.

However, no one thought that Rui Wen would be the first person to come.

She came to Eric's side in Charles' unwilling eyes, and then held his hand.After dodging the questioning in Charles' eyes, the gaze finally couldn't help looking at the girl beside Charles.

Ruiwen didn't speak, but her desire for Fu Jiang was also clear.

Charles could even hear her apologizing to herself inwardly: "I think...Eric is right."

The voice that has been familiar for more than ten years now sounds very strange.He saw that Ruiwen looked at him with a trace of guilt: "I have to fight for the future of mutants, and I am by your side... At least I can't understand the struggle on the premise of maintaining peace for mankind."

Ruiwen trembled her eyelashes slightly, she was actually shaking as well, she was not as firm as she showed: "I wish I could always be by your side—" Charles even heard her inner mourning : "No war, no future of mutants, no heavy loads to carry—"

However, in the end, she had to force herself to make a choice: no one can live forever in [Neverland] (Peter Pan's Neverland).

Charles understands her, forgives her, but still feels bad.

After Ruiwen, the Red Devils who had been Xiao's right-hand man also came to Eric's side, but Hank and Erics came to Charles' side.

But Eric never took back his hand. He stubbornly opened his palm to Fu Jiang, and everyone could see that he was waiting for Fu Jiang's response.

Hank unconsciously fixed his gaze on Fu Jiang.He felt his throat was hoarse and painful, and he almost couldn't help asking her to stay.

Yet Hank endured it.He bit his lips tightly, restraining himself from making any intrusive retention.

And as he lowered his head, Hank saw that Charles, who had turned his face away without saying a word, was showing the same expression as him.

"I don't pay much attention to human beings." Fu Jiang lowered his head and said softly.

She patted the gravel on her knees, her voice was silent: "What happens to humans has nothing to do with me. I also... don't care at all."

Eric almost smiled: he knew, yes, he knew that Fu Jiang would choose himself——

"But I also don't want to fight for mutant survival."

The girl said so, and slowly stood up.Those black eyes reflected the depth of the sea, amidst the ups and downs, she slowly shook her head: "I'm sorry."

Fu Jiang bent down and hugged Charles in his arms without even exerting any force.The slender arms contained unimaginable power, and the posture in which she hugged Charles was like holding a mass of air, which was incredibly relaxed.Only Charles showed a look of panic on his face.He tried to break away from Fu Jiang's arms, this feeling of gender inversion was wonderfully terrible.Charles couldn't even control the shyness and anger on his face!

However, Fu Jiang's ease comforted him.

She slowly retracted the arm holding Charles, but her voice sounded extremely calm: "I choose Charles."

[I choose Charles. ]

Not for humanity, not for peace, not for any great reason, just because of Charles.He's here, he's hurt...I'm worried.

I choose Charles.

Eric's palm curled up slowly.He looked stern, but ultimately said nothing.The emotion in those eyes was deeper, and Fu Jiang couldn't fully guess it.

In this silence, Eric sighed imperceptibly.He said hoarsely: "That's really a pity."

As soon as the words fell, the Red Devil activated his ability, and they completely disappeared before everyone's eyes without even saying goodbye.

The silence also spread around the remaining people as they left, until Charles finally couldn't bear it anymore——

"When are you going to let me go?"

He questioned Fu Jiang angrily. He was so ashamed to bury his head in the sand that he was hugged by his petite lover like a child.

Fu Jiang laughed, she turned her head and looked into the distance, the setting sun cast a soft glow on the sea, as if all the ugliness and crimes could be forgiven.

She shook her head, her voice was so soft that it could only reach Charles' ear.

"No, I'll never let go—"

[Charles Francis Xavier/Professor X: Favorability 5, current favorability 89. ]

【Second Update】

But Agent Mora's death ultimately brought about other changes.For example, Charles finally broke free from the false image Fu Jiang worked so hard to create.The wise man began to realize that something was clearly wrong with him.And once he started to think, he would find many senses of disobedience that he had overlooked.

He began to sort out the trivial pictures he saw in the memories of Eric, Ruiwen, Hank and others, and he began to understand that Fu Jiang might not like himself as much as he thought.

And once he realized this, Charles felt as if he had plunged into deep, cold water.There was no light or oxygen here, and he was almost suffocating in the cold.

Compared with the anger of being fooled by Fu Jiang, Charles was more panicked when he realized that he was feeling more repressed pain.He didn't expect Fu Jiang to be more important than he thought.This kind of importance makes his pride and dignity seem to be compromised, and makes him repeatedly ignite the urge to forgive each other...

[this is too scary. ] Charles pursed his lips in silence.He didn't dare to imagine himself as an unprincipled person, especially——

"Third lumbar spinal cord injury and fourth lumbar spinal cord injury."

When the attending doctor conveyed the diagnosis to Charles, he almost felt his eyes darkened and he was in darkness.

Charles listened silently to the changes it produced, mainly reflected in movement, perception, and reflex nerves.After Charles received all the symptoms and reactions passed by the doctor into his ears, he chose to calmly turn the wheelchair and leave.

Charles even saw Fu Jiang following up immediately.The girl hesitated and looked worried.Her eye sockets were even red, and Charles wondered if she had cried when he couldn't see it.However, for this, the only thing Charles wanted to say was: "I want to be alone."

"I want to be alone for a while."

Saying so, Charles left the ward.

Fourth lumbar spinal cord injury.This sounds like a good thing, because he still has a chance to be able to barely stand and walk, of course, the premise is that he does not have a third lumbar spinal cord injury.

Charles lowered his head, and he stared at his legs silently. Those straight and slender legs were now weak and weak, and they were placed on his wheelchair.And it's going to get worse as time goes on.

His lower extremities will gradually become externally deformed, his rectus femoris control will be weakened, and his muscles below the knee joint will show more complete paralysis.

Charles would completely lose sensation below the level of the junction of the middle and lower third of his thigh and the amine area.

He will become a waste who has no effect on this world, has no help, has no influence, and even becomes difficult to turn over.

The man slowly lowered his head and buried his face in his palms.The darkness covering his eyes made him feel very safe.It was as if it was a dark dream, and by the time Charles opened his eyes, it was all over.

But when Charles put his hands down, neither he nor the world changed.

This nightmare is so long that it may trap myself for a while.

Charles stayed on the hospital lawn for a long time.It wasn't until the early morning sun approached the blue eyes from behind him, and it wasn't until the blue sky was covered with red-pink rays that he slowly turned his wheelchair.

That damned, annoying wheel always doesn't listen to his commands, and accidentally gets stuck in the lawn. Charles still doesn't know how to use it. Thinking that his lower body may have to be accompanied by a wheelchair, he feels even more depressed Yu Zu.

After spinning several times and still unable to leave, he finally gave up on himself, and said to someone with a weak voice: "Help me." Then, while waiting, the wheelchair was gently pushed forward by a pair of hands.

Charles didn't look back, but what he had to admit was that his mood had indeed improved.

He leaned on the wheelchair with his head up, his eyes lightly closed, his eyelashes trembling slightly in the warm soft light, and he smelled the scent of the person behind him in his nostrils.

Familiar light and clear woody fragrance.

"Are you hungry?" Charles opened his eyes, he wasn't sure if he heard it wrong, he seemed to hear the stomach screaming of hunger behind him.Along with the questioning, Charles fixed his blue eyes on the other party.

Fu Jiang also looked down at him.The lacquered eyes were deep and deep, and the stream of light flowing through them was fleeting. Charles was not sure what kind of emotion was wrapped there.He couldn't figure out Fu Jiang, and he no longer knew how to guess.

He raised his head and looked at Fu Jiang. The distance between them was so close, but also so far away.Charles is unwilling to let his fragility be exposed in front of Fu Jiang, and he can't even explore the real reason, as if he wants to continue pretending that he is still strong...

Then he saw Fu Jiang sighed softly, and the kiss had already landed on his forehead.

"do you still love me?"

He heard Fu Jiang asking such a question, but before Charles answered, he shook his head to himself, and Fu Jiang's expression showed a brief sadness: "Or, you don't want to make yourself love me more."

Charles closed his eyes, and he felt Fu Jiang's fingers lingering through his hair, gently combing those messy short hair behind his ears, revealing his full forehead and deep facial features.

Charles heard Fu Jiang's answer: "I'm hungry, and I know you are too."

Look, she's really not considerate at all.

Charles clenched his lips helplessly, understanding that Fu Jiang was telling him that she had been with Charles behind him, waiting for him... Charles himself knew this.However, even so, from dawn to dusk, he still never looked back.

[Who are you messing with? ] The man shook his head helplessly, he was no longer sure what he wanted.

Is it to force Fu Jiang away to let her leave him completely?Or ask her to explain her kiss with Eric?Or ask why she is so tender to Hank?Or ask her, how do you see yourself?

...Charles closed his eyes.

Of course he didn't ask, he suppressed those surges of jealousy in his heart, didn't reveal anything, and maintained the superficial calm and harmony.But only Charles knew in his heart that he was neither calm nor gentle.

He has already lost his composure in dealing with all kinds of things in Fu Jiang.

"What do you want to eat tonight?" Charles shook his head slightly when he heard Fu Jiang's inquiry: "I don't have much appetite."

In this regard, Fu Jiang just raised his eyebrows and ignored Charles' words, and then she ordered takeaway.A well-shaped soft-boiled egg is laid on the colorful and beautiful pasta.Charles didn't even know where Fu Jiang ordered the meal from.

This food obviously brought back many memories. Charles looked at Fu Jiang, and the girl asked him with an innocent and touching expression.

Charles hooked his lips helplessly, pretending not to notice Fu Jiang's little thoughts.

Something has changed.Charles could feel it.

He still loves Fu Jiang, even obsessed with her.

Every time the girl frowns, curls her lips, smiles, she jokes.Her pranks and little intimacy, those soft kisses on Charles' cheek...every one of them made him feel hard to let go.Charles can't lie to his sincerity, he can feel happy and satisfied just watching Fu Jiang appear in his field of vision.

However, it is a pity that love has never been the only happiness that makes people want to spin and sing.More often, Charles stared at Fu Jiang, just wanted to hold her hand deeper and harder, and wanted to question why she was so greedy and passionate.

Why would she want so much love? Couldn't just having herself make her happy?

The answer to this question is too difficult to understand, and Charles can't answer it and has to feel the answer.However, it is regrettable that when Charles needs to be alone most, he has to spend more time with Fu Jiang.

Hank was obviously too busy. He hadn't developed the serum to restore himself to a human form, so it was inconvenient to appear in the hospital. Erics and Sean seemed to have other things, and Fu Jiang stayed here to take care of him. the only one.

For Charles, who can't even stand up, he can't even go to the toilet without Fu Jiang.Charles, who persisted in the ward for four days and could no longer stand not taking a bath, finally had to acquiesce in Fu Jiang's help.

It was downright embarrassing.

He raised his head and submerged his body in the warm water. Above his vision was Fu Jiang's eyes looking at him.Her slender fingers ran through Charles' hair, gently massaging his scalp, and the rubbing process caused half of her body to itch.

Charles only hated himself for not being able to bend his legs to cover his lower body that could not lie, but he could only resign himself to his fate, blushing and rubbing more and more foam with shampoo, as if this could cover up something.

Fu Jiang saw everything in her eyes, and she pretended nothing had happened.The towel was stained with water and wiped Charles' back, and in the end the man dodged his rejection.His face was completely red: "I can, I can do it by myself—"

Fu Jiang couldn't help laughing:

[See what the author has to say later on].

The author has something to say: "But I want to help you."

Even the tips of Charles' ears were flushed red now.

Fu Jiang chuckled, and she finally stood up: "Take care of yourself, I'm at the door." Then she walked out of the bathroom.Hearing Charles sigh softly as the door closed was both relief and loss.

Men are such contradictory creatures.

Fu Jiang smiled, but he had to start thinking about how to get the remaining 8 points of favor from Charles——
