December is not a good time for horseback riding, as the weather is already starting to get cold. Although it hasn't started to snow in Oregon yet, there is little life around the farm. This is mainly due to the fact that various animals, including birds, are starting to prepare for the winter.

The area around the empty farm was deserted, and the other farm was some distance away. So there is a sense of loneliness in riding a horse in this weather.

However, Li Jie and Lan didn't care, because the mood of the two was not on horseback riding. Although the weather is fine today, the winter sun is shining warmly on my body. The two rode two horses with smooth brown fur side by side, wandering as they looked at the fields that had withered in the winter.

The breeze gently stroked the ends of Arashi's hair, ruffling her strands. She gathered her hair, pulled a rubber band out of her pocket, and tied them haphazardly into a ponytail.

"You say, are the women behind being superheroes very happy?" Lan rode a horse and looked at the scenery, and suddenly asked Li Jie this sentence, which caught Li Jie a little off guard.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask this question?" Li Jie didn't know how to answer for a while.

Lan touched the mane of the horse under him: "Because I have seen two women in completely different circumstances in the past two days." Pepp and Betty. Two different males are also seen, Tony and Banner. ”

"I used to talk to her for a long time in the women's house before Pepp's wedding. Talked about a lot of things about her and Tony. Including helping Tony quit drinking when she first became Tony's secretary. Then I helped him deal with all kinds of messy things in his life. ”

"Then I had to help him manage the company and take care of the financial balance. It is also necessary to calculate the final cost of the things that Iron Man does, whether it is good or bad, and whether these costs are manageable. Peppard is doing everything in his power to prevent Tony from going bankrupt. ”

The tone of these stories is a little heavy, but it is indeed the truth, and it is also an unavoidable question. Li Jie didn't interject because he knew that Lan hadn't finished speaking.

Sure enough, Lan sighed and then said, "Pepp and Tony are married. It should be a happy ending, right?But why did I feel like she was stuck in a quagmire? Especially with her vows at her wedding, I had the feeling of seeing her need to help Tony Stark with the aftermath for the rest of her life. ”

Arashi's feelings are not delusional, and with Tony's character, Peppard probably really needs to help him with the aftermath for the rest of his life when he becomes his wife. Tony is like a kid who will never grow up.

He is curious about everything, but overly sensitive, and he needs someone to protect him in the softest places of his heart.

"And Miss Betty I see today is a different kind. She doesn't look as capable and strong as Pepp, but she's more gentle as water. It is this gentleness that has allowed her to persist for so many years without collapsing until today. ”

Until then, Ms. Betty had been encouraging and supporting Dr. Banner. gave him a chance to subdue his demons, and finally walked out of Hulk's nightmare. Re-become the new Dr. Banner. Miss Betty uses her inclusiveness to interpret what it means to be "strong in water". ”

Li Jie nodded: "Yes, you are not wrong to say that. If it weren't for the strength and support of these two women, maybe we wouldn't see Iron Man and Dr. Banner today. ”

"Perhaps a talent that died long ago from excessive drinking and indulgence has been dissipated. The other may not be able to escape his nightmare at all, taking all this as self-punishment, and finally even banishing himself completely. What kind of person a person can become is not only because of what kind of person he or she is, but also because of what kind of person he or she will meet in his or her life. ”

Arashi was suddenly a little distraught, and she rode her horse for a while. Li Jie followed closely behind. After running at least two kilometers or more, Lan stopped.

She turned her head to look at Li Jie, her eyes deep: "I mean, if you are selfish." These women if they have never met these men. Didn't fall into the gentle trap they weaved. It's about starting another life, will they live a little happier?"

"They don't have superpowers, they don't have dreams of saving the world. They are more vulnerable and more vulnerable to injury than their significant other. If they meet another man at another time. There are not so many twists and turns, just a peaceful life, a faint happiness, will they live better?"

Arashi interprets what she has seen in the past two days from her woman's perspective. She didn't know why she had an inexplicable irritability in her heart. This sense of irritability even made her want to escape from this world inexplicably.

Li Jie listened to Lan's complaints, and he slowly rode his horse closer to Lan. When the distance was close enough, he jumped directly on his horse and rode with Lan. Li Jie gently hugged Lan, but Lan did not refuse. She's just going to take you out of your mind.

Li Jie sniffed the fragrance wafting from Lan's hair, and whispered in Lan's ear, "Maybe what you said is right." Without meeting Tony Stark, Pepper Peppel is still Pepper Peppard. She will not change because she meets Tony or not, she will still be a strong woman and shine in this world. ”

"And Miss Betty is the same. If she hadn't met Bruce Banner, she would still be that gentle and beautiful female scientist. She is bound to have many suitors. Maybe she wouldn't be the Miss Betty who wept in Dr. Banner's arms today. Rather, it was with another personable man, Miss Betty, who rode and laughed on the farm, or perhaps Mrs. So-and-so. ”

Lan lay on Li Jie's chest a little weakly, looking into the distance: "Yes, isn't that kind of life bad? Why hold up more responsibilities than superheroes, or even pain?"

"Maybe it's the different division of responsibilities?" Li Jie suddenly said something that surprised Lan. She sat up straight and looked back at Li Jie, she was a little puzzled: "Huh?"

"There are a lot of people in this world who have different jobs. Someone is in charge of cooking, and someone is in charge of takeout. There are supercriminals who are responsible for sabotage, and there are superheroes who are responsible for saving. Superheroes are responsible for saving and changing the world, maybe because of responsibility, maybe because of interest, maybe because of ideals. Li Jie said in a low voice.

Lan looked at Li Jie and asked, "What about the women behind the heroes?"

Li Jie smiled: "Superheroes are responsible for saving the world, and the woman behind this is responsible for saving superheroes." Just like a car that can't run without gasoline, a hero without support is lonely. ”

Lan nodded silently listening to Li Jie's words, and she sighed heavily.

Li Jie gently hugged her and whispered in her ear, "So, are you willing to save me, Lan." ”

Lan looked back at Li Jie, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes. Before she could answer, Li Jie's face was getting closer and closer to her. Lan could even feel the heat and wetness of Li Jie's lips.

Well, this time without opening the portal, just this one. Arashi blushed a little.
