Chapter 251
In fact, Karl himself did not understand what he was thinking.
He always said that Lex was the most difficult and complicated person he had ever met. He said that he could never understand what Lex was thinking, but in fact, the most difficult and complicated people were often only It is the person himself who wants to understand others.
Far from knowing that the scene where Carl meets Lex for the first time is so explosive, Diana smiled with interest and said, "13 years old? That's really early enough."
"It's too early," Carl said in a complicated mood. When the words came out of his mouth, it was like a sigh, "It's too early."
"Listen to your tone, when you saw him for the first time, the scene wasn't very good?" Diana speculated, "I don't like to ask about other people's past, and I don't like being asked about my own past...you have to be thankful for me I really like you, Carl."
"I know." Carl said.
He stared at the floating stars in the universe and felt the security of returning home.
It feels so good to have a good friend by his side, although at the end of the day no matter how important and close that friend is, he has to face what he has to face by himself.
Like love.
Such as death.
People are really isolated and helpless, and people cannot understand each other. This is the education Karl has received since he was a child.
Carl can't remember whether Thor said that at the time, but he can guess that Thor is very experienced in this kind of spiritual isolation-as a son, his ideas are not approved by his father, as an elder brother, He and his younger brother got into a fight again.
The worst thing is not that they have no feelings for each other, on the contrary, after thousands of years of confrontation and painful mutual hurt, they still love each other.
But the biggest advantage of having a good friend by his side is that he can learn and gain experience from his friends.
"How much do you like me, Sister Dale?" Carl asked cautiously before talking about those not-so-good topics.
You have to ask, Dai Er has a positive and tough personality when you are upset. If there is something wrong with him, and they have a good relationship, it is very likely that he will be greeted by a merciless beating.
"Is this a serious question, or do you just want me to compliment you?"
"I want to hear you compliment me seriously."
Diana smiled, a smile so beautiful that any man sitting next to her would jump like a deer.
It's a bit strange to say that, as an Amazon female warrior, Diana's temperament is more inclined towards scholars.She has a prosecuting scrupulousness about her, but her femininity offsets the unselfishness, giving the illusion that she is actually very gentle.
It cannot be said to be an illusion.
Diana is indeed very gentle in many cases, but very few people are lucky enough to see her side.She is more willing to show a strong and cold demeanor, as if she is still living on the paradise island far away from human settlements and wars often break out, staying with her group of fellows who are also brave and good at fighting.
"You were under six when I first met you, cutie," Diana said. "I can still remember when we first met you said, 'Here's the chocolate', 'Aren't you going to eat it? Then I'll eat it myself'."
"...Oh." Carl said blankly.
It was rare for him to show such a confused expression, which made Diana laugh: "I knew you didn't remember! After all, you were too young at the time, and we only met once. I remember you because you were a child." So cute. Kids look cute, Carl, but you're just different from other kids, you're so cute."
"I can't remember everything." Carl thought for a while, "I remember when I was a child, I was angry why other children could go to school and play with their peers, but I couldn't. My brother, Alexander, he Tell me, because I'm different from other kids."
"Did he tell you your identity then?"
"No." Carl said quietly, "Alexander told me that children are very dangerous outside, and I am especially dangerous when I go out, because I am cuter than other children, even if I hide among a group of children, the bad guys will He recognized me at a glance and specifically arrested me."
"And you believed it?" Diana tried her best to hold back a smile.
"Of course I believe it!" Carl said. "That's Alexander. How could he lie to me? Anyone can lie to me, but Alexander can't. I can believe him. He is my brother. What about you? Why do you Will you come to my house?"
"Your brother made an appointment with me to buy a rather valuable sculpture from me—it's in your garden now," said Diana, "but I suspect he already knew I was an Amazon, The deal with me is just to test my strength, maybe he also planned to hire me as your teacher, but finally gave up for unknown reasons."
Carl nodded, and then, without a clue, he asked the question he wanted to ask in the first place.
"How did you feel when Steve died?"
Diana immediately became cold.
But this indifference was not aimed at Karl, it was just a conditioned reflex, an emergency mechanism, a... exposed defensive nature of a female warrior.
"...you shouldn't ask that," Diana said slowly.
"I'm sorry," Carl said immediately, speaking as quickly as if the words were already in his throat. "I'm very sorry."
"No, Carl, I can understand why you're asking, and I'd be happy to help you. I mean..." Diana shook her head, suddenly lost her words, "...forget it. I know what you mean."
"Are you sad?" Carl asked.
He actually thought it was nonsense, but sometimes nonsense is important, because some nonsense is nonsense precisely because it is too certain.
So sure enough that many people wouldn't even ask.
Just like an elusive love, neither party asks whether the other party loves him or not, nor does he express his love.They believe that each other's hearts have a tacit understanding, and that feelings can be conveyed along each other's breath and connected veins. During a certain period of time, they can indeed feel that deep and clear love.
But human beings are such creatures full of doubts and uncertainties.
The tacit understanding will be separated and disintegrated, the trust will be wiped out, and the love will slowly melt away. Like two gears that are tightly combined together, they will eventually be worn out beyond recognition.
Would anyone ask Diana that question?No, no one would ask that, because Diana must be very upset.
But Carl persisted.
"I don't know, it's hard to describe." Diana said calmly, "In fact, I already had such a premonition in my heart. From the day we were together, I knew that there would be such a day sooner or later. I think Steve himself That's clear. We're all waiting."
"Did you tell him I love you?"
"We've said it, we've said it countless times, but no amount of solid love can stop what is bound to happen," Diana said.
None of Carl's questions were the most appropriate questions, but Diana's answers were always the most appropriate ones, oddly enough.
None of them spoke anymore, just sat quietly.
After a while, Carl heard Diana humming a little tune softly.
The man she loved was dead long before Carl found out about her Kryptonian identity, and Carl heard Diana hum the song all these years, when she was restoring antiques, and between those dinner parties. , during those times when she was alone.
This song was his initial impression of Diana, and with the steady heartbeat of this powerful woman, this song comforted him for many years.
This time, this scene, this star, this month.
Carl suddenly realized that there might be a story in this song.
Like the most corny plot in the movie, maybe Steve used this song to get the Amazons and princesses.
Then he got old and left only this song.
How to determine love?Carl still can't figure it out, even though he has said countless I love you to Lex, even though they have almost reached the final step.
He has seen too much, but has no experience in this area, and it is blank.
Silent night.
The sky of the metropolis is slightly illuminated by the broken light of stars, and the night is like a piece of dark blue velvet.
Lex had already fallen asleep, but today he always felt a little irritable: it might be because the plan was being carried out calmly and everything was going smoothly, this superficial calm made him extremely uncomfortable.
But what bothered him most was the peace of the person he was playing against—that damned peace.
Why is Superman always so perfect?Lex had asked that question countless times, and the goddamn alien broke all the established rules, and he thought he was just doing something small.
He created the illusion of ideals and hopes, and made everything so chaotic, he never looked malicious and defensive, like the boy next door, but which boy next door can be as indestructible as steel?
There's no movement of Superman in the satellites, and it looks like he's not in the sky, and he's not showing off in that ridiculous uniform.
This made Lex feel better. He turned on the computer and checked Carl's location.
Xavier College, Carl and Diana sitting side by side on the low back hill.
"Actually, Diana, I think..."
"That's enough, stop talking." Diana interrupted him.
She turned her head and looked directly at Carl, her expression and tone were calm, her eyes sparkling.
"His death made me feel like a part of me died with him. The part of me that belonged to him, the part of me that was born because of him. It will never be possible. I will never be like Steve who loved me again. Falling in love with someone else, no matter what anyone else says, I'll meet someone better."
"But only I know."
Diana said with tears in her eyes.
"There's no one better than my Steve."
