Chapter 44: The Peak
For many days in a row, Angel saw Kaiming constantly going out, sometimes rushing out before he could brush his teeth, running away halfway through the meal, and crawling out of bed in the middle of the night when he heard the bell.
She thinks he's overdone this hero.
"You can't say that, sometimes someone has to step up, and if those who are able to do it don't stand up, there's no hope for this society. He retorted.
On the weekend, there was a party dedicated to metal aliens, and Angel went with him to join in the heat, and the scene was crowded, and many enthusiasts even attended as metal aliens, singing and dancing, and indulged in the event.
When Kaiming appeared as a metal alien, the applause, whistles, and screams of the audience erupted together.
He walked to the stage surrounded by the crowd, in order not to expose his true body, Angel could only look at him through the crowd, but when he passed by, he deliberately showed a smile to her, the red eyes and big mouth, no matter how she looked at it, made her laugh.
Seeing the excitement at the scene, Kaiming asked for two bottles of unopened beer from his supporters, and put them in his mouth at the same time, and the two rows of steel teeth bit down, the metal lid shattered, and white foam continued to overflow from the mouth of the bottle. He also drank a whole bottle of large champagne in one go, which stunned Angel.
The carnival ended at midnight, and Angel had to walk to the men's restroom, two blocks away, waiting for Kaiming to turn back into a human.
He staggered out, obviously drunk, he was fine when he entered, but he couldn't bear to turn back into a human, the difference between the two bodies was very obvious, and humans couldn't compare to metal aliens.
Angel hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "You drank the whole bottle of champagne, it's just a mess." ”
He walked next to her, "You know what? Tomorrow will be the twenty-eighth year of my life, and in the past I never thought that I would one day be loved by thousands of people. It's a great feeling, it's like standing on top of the top. ”
Angel struggled to straighten his messy steps and walked down an alley, "You're wrong, there's no peak here, just a drunken man and his poor sister-in-law. ”
Kai Ming heard her complaining, so he stopped, "Angel, you wait, I'll take you to the peak." With that, he retreated into the dark corner.
"Don't make a fuss, come out. Angel stood alone in the alley, terrified.
No one answered, and after a while, a rough pant came from the darkness, "Kaiming, is that you?" she asked, taking two steps forward. Unexpectedly, a metal claw reached out in the darkness and took her in.
Before she could react, she was attached to a broad chest. He ran around her, ran into a high wall, and jumped over it with a somersault.
Angel saw the whole world spinning, and immediately screamed.
Ahead was the tallest skyscraper in the city, and he jumped to the top of the six-story building, paws continuing to climb up.
The ground fades away from view and reaches a dizzying height. Angel hugged his neck tightly, and if she had a choice, she would prefer to take the elevator.
The female tour guide took the tourists to introduce them on the top floor, and a little boy asked, "Is it the highest floor here?"
The female guide replied with a smile: "Yes, it is the highest floor in the city." ”
"You lie. The boy said.
"Little friend, my sister didn't lie to you. She explained, "Why is this little ghost talking nonsense?" and that he should be brought home and educated.
"There's someone upstairs. The boy said, pointing to the viewing window.
How is this possible? The female guide turned around and saw that there were really two pairs of feet hanging down upstairs, and they were still swaying. "Ghost ......" she rolled her eyes and fainted on the ground.
Sitting on the edge of a tall building, looking down at the bustling city, Angel was nervous and curious, and although she was a little worried, she was still worried about the safety of the building.
Looking at Kai Ming, who was also barefoot next to him, he was relaxed and looked far away.
"It's the craziest thing I've ever done. Angel touched her forehead, which was still dizzy.
Kaiming retracted his gaze and turned to her with a smile, "Before I went to Egypt, I didn't think I would do such crazy things, I used to be a white-collar worker of Pupu, and I would only work and earn a living every day, but my fate changed during that trip, and when I became a metal alien, I began to like to linger on the peak, looking down on the world, and at the same time, I gained a great peace of mind." ”
Angel gave him a thumbs up, "Superior." ”
Kai Ming's gaze sank, took out the silver bottle, and fiddled with it in his hand, "Now this state feels very unreal, like a dream, in fact, these are the credit of metal aliens, without it, I am an inconspicuous little person." ”
"I don't think so. "It's just a piece of armor, and without you, it's nothing, and it's impossible to have this kind of achievement." ”
"Thank you, Angel. ”
Angel remembered his sacrifice in Egypt, "Not everyone with talent will stand up like you, they are willing to stay in the shadows to protect themselves and live a life of inaction. ”
Kaiming's slumpy gaze re-condensed as he looked at the woman in front of him whose long hair had been disrupted by the wind.
"Brother Keming, you should be proud of yourself, not because of the metal alien, it looks much uglier than you. ”
He took her into his arms, feeling that there was someone behind him, and he would be more motivated in the days to come.
From an angle that could not be seen, Angel's face gradually turned red, and she preferred this hot body to the cold metal of her whole body.
The red sports car turns into the villa area, the window gradually sinks, and a woman wearing sunglasses asks the security guard for the address, and the security guard points to a two-story villa.
She parked her car in front of the door, walked along the path in the yard with high heels, and there was an old ginkgo tree planted on the left and right of the villa.
The doorbell rang twice, and the door was opened by a woman, with long fluffy hair on her shoulders, wearing a white T-shirt, thigh-baring shorts, and a lazy expression on her pretty face.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, my name is Jiang Yan, and I came here to find Kaiming. ”
"Without this person, don't come back in the future. ”
"But ......"
Before Jiang Yan could finish speaking, the door slammed shut. What's the situation? Obviously the address is here, why is she so angry?
Kai Ming saw Angel walking back to the living room alone, so he asked, "Who was it just now?"
"Salesman. ”
She was just about to sit down when the doorbell rang again.
"This salesman is so difficult," said Kemin, "I'm going to get rid of him." ”
"No, let me come, I don't believe I can't get her away. ”
Angel rushed to go again, cursing the difficult woman in her heart as she went.
She slammed open the door, ready to scold, but when she saw a woman carrying luggage outside the door, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, "Sister!"
An Yi saw that it was her sister who opened the door, and her expression was equally surprised, "Why are you at my house?"
"I ......," Angel was speechless for a moment, "Alas, speaking of a long cloth, why did you come back early?"
An Yi carried the suitcase into the house, "If I don't come back, the house will be turned upside down." ”
Angel stepped forward to help, but looking at her sister's face, she had a bad premonition.
When Kaiming saw his wife come in, he was stunned for a moment, and then got up from the couch.
After putting the luggage away, An Yi looked at the two strange-looking people on the sofa, clasped his hands and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
An Qi immediately raised his hand, causing Kaiming to squint for a while, and his eyes clearly said: If you dare to talk nonsense, you will die.
Angel's eyebrows were raised, and she replied: Your threat has no effect on me.
"Why are you frowning?" An Yi interrupted them.
"I want to say that since my sister is back, I should leave too. After Anqi finished speaking, she ran up to the second floor with a cigarette, and after a while, she fled with her luggage.
An Yi saw her sister's strange appearance, and her eyes refocused on Kaiming, "What's going on with the news on TV?"
She already knows about the metal alien? Yes, the news and the Internet have been vigorously broadcast these days, how could she not know.
"Anyi, listen to my explanation, I just lost my job, and I was idle at home, and there was a sudden flood in the nearby village, so I rushed to help. ”
"I can understand this, but why did you become that monster, can't ordinary people go to disaster relief?"
The term monster is harsh no matter how you hear it, but if you save a lot of people, can't you say something nice?" ”
"At the end of the day, it's you who like to be in the limelight. ”
Now that she had decided so, Kaiming had nothing to say.
At this time, there was an urgent call from the computer, and Kaiming found an excuse to hurriedly flee the scene.
When he returned, An Yi had already prepared dinner, the dishes were more hearty than usual, and there was also the sauerkraut fish that Kai Ming loved to eat.
But as soon as I started eating, the computer rang again. Kaiming glanced at his wife across the table and saw that she was also observing him.
What can I do about this? If I go out now, I will definitely arouse her suspicion, and I can't sit idly by, so entangled!
The bell rang again and again, and he finally put down the dishes and chopsticks, others were in danger, so how could people eat with peace of mind.
An Yi saw him leave the table and ran towards the door, "Where are you going?"
Before there was a response, the door shut.
Kaiming completed his transformation and rushed to the scene of the incident, an old lady stood under the tree and beckoned to him, looking very anxious, but after Kaiming listened to her explanation, he looked depressed, it turned out that it was just her kitten climbing up the tree and refusing to come down.
This kind of work also makes the metal alien out, it's outrageous, will she ask for the toilet next time?
But the recent work is a bit unreliable, a construction worker asked him to help recover the arrears of wages, and a man was even more excessive, because the way home at night was too dark, asked him to accompany him, please, is he still a man.
What a mess?
Kai Ming wanted to leave, but the old lady pointed to the kitten in the tree and kept chattering, although he was busy, as a hero, he had to help.
He jumped high and scooped the cat out of the branch. The old lady walked into the house with the kitten in her hand, as if she had forgotten to thank the helper.
Kemin shrugged, turned around, and found his wife standing not far away.
She didn't say anything, sat back in the car, and the car faded away.
