Chapter 45: Loss
Kai Ming pushed open the door, An Yi was not in the living room, quietly sneaked into the kitchen, he was in a hurry just now, he didn't eat a few bites, he was very hungry.
Open the fridge and there is a birthday cake inside.
This time there was an accident, and it turned out that An Yi rushed back to celebrate her husband's birthday.
Kaiming slapped his head, damn it, how could he forget about it. He closed the refrigerator and walked to the bedroom, hoping to get his wife's forgiveness.
An Yi was lying on the bed, wrapped in a thick quilt, hearing her husband's call, she closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, and his sleeves were pulled by him, but she was still unmoved.
What she didn't expect was that he actually put his hand into the quilt, and his cold fingers roamed around his waist, and she couldn't stand this teasing and giggled.
Although he pretended to be asleep and was recognized, she still ignored him, so he leaned on her with a dead face, "An Yi, I was wrong, I ask for forgiveness." ”
In the face of her husband, who was as docile as a puppy, she couldn't get angry, and put her hands out of the bed, and Kai Mingle pulled her up from the bed.
Every time he used this routine, she would always give in quickly, and it was no wonder, because this was how Kaiming coaxed An Yi back then.
The two took out the hidden cake, lit the candles, turned off the lights in the living room, the beautiful birthday song sounded, An Yi waited silently in front of the candle, well, the birthday song was played from her mobile phone, Kai Ming knew that his wife didn't understand the rhythm.
As he blew out the candles, he took advantage of the darkness and smeared cream on her face. For this kind of little trick, she also rolled her eyes.
"Kaiming, promise me, you can't be that monster again. ”
An Yi suddenly made this request, which made Kaiming hesitate, if he agreed, he could only be an ordinary person in the future.
"We don't know if the mutation will cause harm to the human body, and the monsters are frequently showing up in the city, and the CIA agents are afraid that they will find you sooner or later. ”
Kaiming said, "I'm a metal alien, and they can't do anything about me." ”
"You're in the light, people are in the dark, and you don't know what they're going to do. ”
"They can't beat me anyway. ”
This guy didn't seem to listen to the advice, An Yi spread out his palm and said, "Hand over the bottle immediately." ”
"I ...... I forgot where to put it for a while. ”
How could An Yi be deceived by such a little trick, he dug into his pocket, and the bottle containing the mutation liquid was in his hand.
Seeing that the bottle was confiscated by his wife, Kai Ming was anxious, "It's mine." ”
An Yi raised the bottle high and didn't let him touch it, "If you say it again, I'll pour all the liquid into the toilet." ”
The threat worked, and Kemin stopped snatching and sat on the couch sulking.
In the middle of the night, the couple tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
After so many days of separation, he must be missing it too, right?
Angel turned, her hand gently reaching for her husband's back, her fingertips sliding down her spine to her waist.
His back muscles were stronger, more elastic and bumpy than before, and he had not touched them properly since that time in Egypt, and he had suffered a lot during that time.
"Are you still choking?" An Yi knew that he was not asleep, but just pretended to hide like a piece of wood.
He listened, turned around and said, "Unless you give me back the bottle." ”
At this time, we have to talk about the conditions! Angel's face changed, she turned her back, and the quilt quickly covered her head.
Having lost his job, he lost his bottle, and Kaiming woke up in the morning looking in the mirror, his hair was messy, his face was stubble, and he felt like he had lost a lot of appearance.
After deleting the metal inhuman's online contact address, he stayed home with nothing to do.
"You need to find a job. After An Yi finished speaking, he changed into a pair of flat shoes for going out.
"I need bottles. Kemin replied lazily on the couch.
I heard the door slam shut, and the room fell silent.
Kaiming quickly got up from the couch and searched all corners of the house to find out where the bottle was hidden. He opened An Yi's makeup box, and there was a note inside, which read: Don't waste your efforts, you can't find it.
Damn, it's Anyi's handwriting.
This small bottle has become an unavoidable topic for the couple, and every time the two are together, Kaiming will mention it, and An Yi thinks that her husband has gone mad.
"Because Metal Inhumans suddenly shut down their communication channels, a large number of supporters took to the streets to demonstrate. The following is a live interview with our reporter, a man holding a protest sign in his hand said: His disappearance is a betrayal, sorry for all supporters. An uncle: His claws damaged the wall of my house, and he had to come out and take responsibility. An aunt: My kitten has climbed the tree again, it's so pitiful, let him come out and help. ”
As soon as the TV screen turned, a large number of demonstrators shouted together, "Come out, come out...... someone lit a fake metal alien, and thick smoke billowed from the scene.
Kai Ming couldn't stand it anymore, and walked up to An Yi, "I'm going to turn into a metal alien." ”
"No way. An Yi turned his back, isn't it messy enough?
He didn't talk nonsense with her, and directly opened the handbag she was carrying, only here he had never looked for it, An Yi stepped forward to stop it, and all the things in the handbag fell to the ground in the pull.
In a hurry, An Yi slapped the savage man in the face, which made the two stunned on the spot.
An Yi angrily left the living room and locked herself in the bedroom.
Kemin looked at the handbag, there was nothing in it, lipstick, tissue paper, unopened tampons were scattered on the floor, and there were no silver bottles.
". He lifted his bag and smashed it on the couch.
No, if things continue to deteriorate, the image that the metal Inhumans have built up with great difficulty will be completely destroyed.
He sat with his face covered for a moment, then got up again and walked out of the house.
As he approached the demonstration area, he was stopped by a police officer armed with a shield, who dropped his car and entered a back alley of the street, stepping on a garbage bin and climbing over the fence.
The demonstration area was filled with smoke, a tall fake metal stranger melted in the flames, billowing smoke mixed with tear gas on the ground, and the crowd rushed to a neatly lined line of military police with slogans.
Originally, it was a joyous parade attended by metal aliens, but because he disappeared for no reason, it turned into a demonstration, which Kaiming did not want to see.
Not far away, a band was still performing at the risk of death, he ran over, pushed the male lead singer away with one palm, and shouted into the microphone: "Please stop." ”
Fog bombs flew everywhere at the scene, shoes were swaying, and no one cared about him at all.
"Metal Inhumans are here. He had no choice but to change his tune.
It worked, and the demonstrators forgot to storm the police line for a while, looking left and right. But they soon found out that they had been fooled, and a pair of angry eyes were aimed at the stage.
The band members panicked, and the guitars and drum sticks were all thrown to the ground, and the people ran away, leaving only a man in slippers standing on the stage.
"Where's the metal Inhuman?" someone asked.
Kaiming took a deep breath and replied, "I am." ”
Revealing his identity is not a wise choice and will cause a lot of trouble, but seeing this out-of-control scene, he can only do this. In fact, deep down, he also hopes to go into the spotlight and never have to live a double life again.
"I'm a metal alien. He cried out from the bottom of his heart.
The audience began to discuss, "Where did this madman come from?"
"I'm not sick. ”
"If he had said he was a sow, I probably wouldn't have doubted it. ”
At this time, an aunt came out of the crowd, she pointed to Kai Ming and said, "I have seen metal aliens, much more handsome than you." ”
Kaiming rolled his eyes and said to her, "Old lady, the day before yesterday, your cat was hanging on a tree, and I helped you save it, remember?"
The aunt crossed her waist and said: "The old lady has just appeared on the live TV, and the whole world knows that this happened, which does not prove that you are the metal alien who saved the cat, there is a kind of transformation of you, and you will turn around in front of everyone." ”
"Yes, transformation. "Someone followed.
"It's changing. ”
It's too bad, pushing yourself into a corner.
"I ...... It can't be changed. ”
As soon as the words fell, Auntie's flip-flops flew onto the stage and slapped on Kaiming's face.
"It's not so easy to deceive the old lady. ”
Two policemen rushed up and took him away.
When Angel arrived at the police station, she saw him on a bench, sitting bent over with her head down.
A policewoman said to Angel: "Take him away, if you fool the public next time, we will lock him up, not as simple as a verbal warning." ”
Kai Ming followed behind Angel, and when he walked out of the police station, he accidentally rolled under the steps and lay on his back on the ground, he suddenly hated himself now, human life was too tedious, and it was not easy to be a monster.
"Brother Kaiming, are you alright?" Angel bent down, and the clear blue sky became her background, which was so beautiful.
She stretched out her hands, and Kaiming held them tightly, so soft that people didn't want to let go.
The car ran all the way home, Angel looked to the side, Kai Ming didn't speak, "What's wrong with you? I was stunned when I saw you reveal your identity on TV. ”
He looked at her, then asked, "Why can't I make it public?" and tell them plainly that I'm a metal inhuman. ”
"Well, it's not impossible, if people find out that you're an anomaly, they're going to look at you differently. ”
Cumming stopped talking.
The floor of the living room was full of clutter, and Angel saw this situation and guessed that the two of them were having trouble again. She took her sister out of the room, and although the couple sat together, they didn't say a word.
She pushed Kaiming with her elbow from the side, and he also realized that it was a bit too much just now, "Anyi, I'm sorry. ”
An Yi saw him bend over and consciously put the things on the ground back into his handbag, and finally smiled.
"It's not enough, at least a handshake and a kiss on the mouth. Angel coaxed from the side and was blinded by her sister.
Both husband and wife belong to introverted personalities, and if there is no help from this little elf, I really don't know when I will be able to say a word.
After her sister left, An Yi quietly glanced at her husband, he became deep, I don't know if it was because of the slap just now, she was also stunned, this was the first time he lost his temper at her, and the first time she hit him.
