48. Chapter 48
It's a good day again.
As soon as West stepped off the plane, the sky above his head and the ground beneath his feet seemed to be turned upside down, making the boy dizzy.
How bad the physique after the genetic mutation is, he can now understand it thoroughly. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a beautiful girl not far away who was not very strong at first glance also holding her boyfriend's hand and retching to death, the eldest young master's expression was distorted, and he was a little unacceptable that now he was going to belong to the ranks of 'weak and can't help the wind'.
What's more, he doesn't have a boyfriend's hand to pull it in yet.
Shaking the ticket in his hand, West thought a little sadly. Great Britain today seems to be getting darker than usual. It's a little over an hour's train ride back from London to Oxford, and if he wants to get back to his apartment and fill his stomach before the sun goes down, he does have to get out of the airport hall quickly, and there is not much time to waste.
But before that, maybe he'll have to wait a little longer to pick up something that is embarrassing in public.
"Why are you here?"
Dazingly looking at Colin Burrens in the crowd of pick-up guests, and the eye-catching lace banner in his hand that reads "Sincerely looking for Mr. West-Xavier", the hermit who has never been so high-profile twitched the corners of his mouth, and really wanted to pry this kid's head open to see what was inside:
"It's just a pick-up card, do you need to act like a marriage notice?"
"I'm not afraid you won't be able to see it." Blinked aggrievedly, and finally put away the banner of several people in West's rather sharp eyes. Colin held out his hand to the boy, "Long time no see, why don't you give me a hug first?" β
Hehe, hug your uncle.
Seeing that the surrounding crowd was staring at him, like looking at a pair of dog men who had tied the knot, West turned around and left with his luggage. Of course, he didn't just watch him run away, and Colin took it when he saw it, crawled out of the crowd, and walked towards the exit of the terminal with the boy very happily.
"I've brought a sandwich, would you like to eat some first?"
Sitting on the train, looking out the window at the scenery flying by, the boy touched his companion a little cautiously. Although he had never been very good at reading words, even he could see that West, who had returned from New York, had always had a deep depression between his eyebrows, and he had lost a lot of weight...... Even the shirt on his body was loose and dangling, and the contoured outline of the bones under the fabric could be faintly seen.
These days, he's having a bad time.
It's easy to come to this conclusion. Colin suddenly regretted a little, at that time in London, he should have followed him anyway, but he had no idea that people were actually emaciated like this for him.
"Thank you."
It's not hypocritical, anyway, he hasn't eaten anything after a night of hangover, and now he's really a little hungry. West nodded to Colin and took the sandwich, not forgetting to continue to ask the question he hadn't just been answered: "How did you know I was going back to England today?" β
"You sued me yourself last night." With a puzzled expression, Colin looked at the boy like a fool, "Please, you shouldn't tell me that the person who called me wasn't you, right?" β
"Ah, it should be me."
The word 'call' hurts to hear the word, and West's confidence in his wine has hit rock bottom. He only wished that he hadn't said anything strange to Colin after courting Ericβfor God's sake, it would have been enough for Elizhe to kill him:
"Sorry...... I wasn't very awake last night, and I can't remember some things. β
"I know. Your friend named Tony sued me that you were drunk. β
To the boy's surprise, Colin nodded without surprise. It is estimated that although he was already unconscious when he called, President Stark was barely able to stay awake, and West was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Anyway, Tony's words can't be worse than himself.
But in the next second, he understood what it meant to gather like and divide people into groups.
"By the way, your friend also asked me if you were dumped in England."
Watching West's sandwich squirting far away, I don't know what he remembered, a slight haze flashed in Colin's eyes: "He said that your recent appearance looks like a broken love." I didn't believe it at first, but now I feel the same way...... Serena Williams, how come I don't know when you got your boyfriend in the UK? β
"Poof...... Ahem...... You listen to that bastard. β
Choked on the sandwich and rolled his eyes, West's eyes were red with coughing, and he almost wanted to tear Iron Man's mouth that couldn't spit out ivory: "Also, do I have the word '' written on my face?" Why do you have a boyfriend? β
"That's a girlfriend, right?"
As he opened his mouth so coolly, the boy's heart 'groaned', as if he had suddenly fallen into a lead block, and began to rise with anger down his spine.
He suddenly had a strong desire. I want to tear this 'Colin' mask off. Then grab the guy next to him who doesn't know anything, tear his skin, bite his throat, chew his bones, and tie every part of himself to himself...... The person who has been looking for and waiting is obviously himself, why can he abandon him so dashing thousands of years ago, throw his hands away, and fall in love with someone so lightly after a thousand years?!
The fingertips were white because of the force, and the light gray pupils seemed to have a dangerous golden color. The teacher took a deep breath, almost unable to control the magic of his chest roaring to vent his freedom.
But then, the young man's words were like exerting the ability to go back in time, so that all the crumbling things that were about to collapse instantly returned to their places.
"Don't talk nonsense." Smiled casually, West lazily propped up his forehead and looked out the window at the sunset, "How can a person like me have a girlfriend." β
Not to mention the gap between mutants and humans, the age alone is enough for him to stay away from most girls. After all, his face and age are in an extremely asymmetrical position, and he has a long life, if he is not really miserable, he will not casually hand over his body and mind.
After all, the only person he has fallen in love with without hesitation has never been seen, right?
West's eyes gradually dimmed, like a blood-colored sunset sinking from the sky outside the polar window.
And I don't know if I felt his sadness, Colin clenched his hands in the corner where the boy couldn't see, but he pursed the corners of his mouth and remained silent. Let the train speed forward, and lead two people with their own thoughts all the way west, until the night gradually rises, drowning out the last glimmer of orange light on the horizon.
It's just that this kind of silence is good enough for a humanoid catastrophe attraction like West to last ten minutes.
"What's going on?"
I was so startled by a piercing explosion that I almost jumped out of the window. Colin reflexively stood up, and before he could see what was going on, he was dragged down by the reflexing hermit.
'Bang bang bang-'
With the muffled sound of the boy's forehead hitting the boy's knee, a volley of bullets swept over their heads from some unknown direction, blowing up the leather back of the front seat. But fortunately, there were not many passengers on this train, and the constant screams everywhere were sparse, and even with only ears, it was easy to determine the current location of the attacker.
"It's good to be coming at me."
Shoved Colin's head under his seat, West listened as he strained and listened, "I didn't expect them to be so bold, but you're obviously responsible for this, man...... Next time, don't expose my name in public, especially in a small place like the UK. β
"Uh-huh-woo-woo......!!!" Then you let me get up and help you!!!
No matter how many thousand years have passed, it is impossible to face West, and the boy desperately struggles to get rid of his companion's clutches, but is glared at by the impatient teenager, and directly locks him in place with the air current.
"The situation is urgent, you will take care of it first, and then I will explain it to you later. Also, for your own sake, don't scream like a girl, no matter what you see that you can't understand......
Of course, I didn't know that I had just kicked out of the battle as a ** division that had no one before or after him as a scumbag. West let go of his mental power and enveloped the entire carriage with his telepathic range, but he ignored an obvious bug around him because his attention was elsewhere - he couldn't hear Colin's mind at all, even if he was fully capable of it.
Although it is true that now is not the time to think about this.
'Bang bang-'
Just as the boy was babbling to comfort his companion, who he thought was trembling with fear (in fact, he was angry), there was another crisp sound of loading, and rows of bullets instantly tilted in their direction from behind. Hearing this, Colin was shocked, and estimated that the person who attacked West this time must have a great background, otherwise how could he directly shootout in such a public place?!!
"How dare he attack me with a bullet?"
And the hermit lord was obviously confused by this formation. After being stunned for a long time in the rain of bullets, and finding that it was indeed not a joke, West twisted his face and jumped up from behind his seat in an instant, feeling that he had been insulted by a very strict personality:
"Yi Laizhe, you dare to ambush me with only a bullet?!!!"
"Of course not, baby, you know, I never underestimated you."
At the end of the boy's fury, Colin heard a rather slippery and rather careless low male voice drifting slowly. With the shattering of the windows and the howling of the wind into the cabin, the sound of bullets retreating seemed a little distant, but it was definitely not a sign of an end to the fighting:
"It's just that I received the news of your return in a hurry, and your good father has been chasing after me, so I didn't have time to prepare a decent 'party', but I didn't plan to snub you."
"So, you're planning to die yourself?" Obviously disgusted by this disgusting and intimate tone, West snorted coldly, "Or is there no way back for someone who has been chased by Magneto, so you can only take the risk to ambush me to win back a game?" β
There was a crack in Elizhe's smirk. After a while, he finally withdrew the frivolity in his eyes, like a poisonous snake entrenched in the grass, and his eyes were full of cruelty.
"You've got a good dad." Tear open the collar so that the boy can see the viciousness of the flesh and mechanical entanglement of his right shoulder. The man stared fiercely at West's face full of 'I knew so', and could no longer hide the rotten hatred and resentment in his eyes:
"So, pay the debt of the father and the son, Xavier...... Magneto owes me one arm, and you'll give me two back today!! β
"You can give it a try."
I flicked the earrings, and there was only murderous intent left in my eyes. West looked at the reformers who had been ordered by Elizhe to lunge at him, and pointed at the knife. With just a slight swipe in mid-air, the sharp qi blade instantly split the wind and left.
