Chapter 104: True and False (2)
My name is Felicity Smock and I am twenty-five years old. is a journalist with the New York Daily News. As a journalist, and because of my parents, I have a certain understanding of the lesser-known side of the world.
Like mutants, superpowers, or whatever.
I have seen with my own eyes the scene when the old man, known as Magneto, had a great conversation with my father, and I remember the appearance of Professor X when he had a good relationship with my father.
I don't understand, I don't understand why my father would get involved in the mutant waters. So I left my home and came to New York alone to go to college, work, and live. Before her death, my mother told me not to hate my father, saying that he was also forced to do so, but I didn't understand. I don't want to understand either. Because even when my mother died, my father didn't come back to see him, and he was still busy with his business. Busy with his fame and status.
Go to school and live in New York. A new environment allowed me to gradually emerge from the shadow of my mother's death. I reverted back to my old cheerful appearance. Although there are occasional annoyances, they are all a little spice in life, and they are harmless. It's a taste to look back and taste.
Of course, in New York, I also met my love, Gao Li.
Or Eddie Rosicky.
He was my colleague, the same intern as me who went to the New York Daily News.
I don't understand why he always uses his awkward Chinese name to the outside world, which is obviously the United States. Doesn't it feel twisted to use a mouthful Chinese name?
At a party in the department, I asked him this question in a joking tone.
Then, to this day, I will remember the fleeting melancholy look on his face that was originally smiling. I can't tell what kind of mood I was in at that time, but I couldn't help but be attracted by that melancholy even though I was past the age when I was attracted to melancholy.
I think it's probably because the melancholy is so unusual for him.
In the private circle of girls, he has always been the smiling and smiling like a flower. The flower heart radish is a glorious title that he exchanged for the achievements of six girlfriends in a year.
My best friend wondered why such a good girl as me would be interested in a playboy like Gao Li. Hee-hee, it's not just them who are weird, I'm also weird myself.
I obviously hate the kind of man who plays with women's feelings, but I am trapped in the whirlpool of Gao Li and can't extricate myself. Why is that? I don't understand either.
Maybe this is what my table mate said in high school that men are not bad, but women are not loved.
Perhaps, the heroic rescue of beauty that night is destined for the fate between me and him. Hee-hee.
I liked him, and that night he saw my helpless look, so I decided on him.
My girlfriends all advised me not to be stupid, saying that a carrot is not worth my love, that I deserve better. Hmph, I don't want to listen to them.
They don't know, but I know that he must have a crush on me, too.
They didn't know, but I did know that he was starting to refuse nightclubs and call women.
They didn't know, but I did know that the coffee he had bought every morning was handmade by getting up an hour early.
We drank coffee together and went to work together. Laughing and playing in the company every day.
We walked in the park together, we shopped together. The rest time is set on the same day.
But what they don't know, and what I don't know, is why didn't he confess to me all the time?
Do you want me to be a girl who takes the initiative to speak?
People in the company joked about me and him every day, and he didn't respond anything but a smile. Over time, my enthusiasm began to fade.
I began to ask myself, does he really like me? Or is it just my delusion, he just uses me as a spare tire?
Just when I started to doubt my relationship, he confessed to me!
He said he was too stupid and that his anxiety and insecurity kept him from being able to help himself. I smiled and comforted him that it was okay because we were together now~
At that time, I didn't know what his anxiety and insecurity meant, and I thought it was just the pressure of life. Until the day I had an accident.
I remember very well that it was when I went to interview Tony Stark and met a woman named Lilith Erwin in the Stark Building, who seemed to know me, was very strange, and said a bunch of inexplicable things to me.
What a carrot.
I wonder if this is one of his ex-girlfriends.
Then I went out and got hit by a car.
It was a truck, the kind of delivery.
The moment I was hit, I felt that I should be hopeless. Because I saw the blur of my own flesh and blood. It's really a blur of flesh and blood.
But then I miraculously recovered!
The first time I opened my eyes, I saw his surprised face, and the sentence: "Wake up, welcome back." ”
He thought I wouldn't know how badly I was hurt, so he confessed to his best friend Philip, saying that Philip was a mutant and that he had healed me. I said I was going to thank Philip, but he said that Philip was too busy to talk to me.
From that moment on, I had doubts about his identity.
I've seen mutants, and I'm dazzled by all kinds of magical abilities. What is so strange about the ability to produce the flesh and bones of a living and dead person?
Gao Li's concealment made me think that it was just that he was worried that the identity of the mutant would affect the relationship between us, so he didn't say it. Because of this explanation, the anxiety and uneasiness he said before can be explained.
After all, mutants are still an unwelcome outlier in this society.
So I didn't mention it again, and continued to work with him, drink coffee, and laugh with him as if it had never happened. Same as before.
Well, perhaps the only thing that is different is that we can hold hands together and kiss our mouths when we are laughing and playing.
I thought that the identity of the mutant was Gao Li's biggest secret. But today, I found out that I was wrong, and it couldn't be more wrong.
I've seen the skies over the city of Houston change because of him, and I've seen him pop up out of thin air in otherwise empty areas.
Listening to Tony Stark's tone, it seems that they have fought each other, and looking at the appearance of the man who calls himself S.H.I.E.L.D., it seems that they are still old acquaintances.
And all this, I don't know. Confused.
He said he would explain it to me so I didn't have to think about it, and I did.
I thought about a lot of explanations he might make, and I thought about a lot of what might happen. But I didn't expect that the secret he confessed would directly subvert my world.
Magic?
Cursed by the devil?
Ha?
