I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

"Its name is Manny. From now on, when I'm not around, you won't be lonely at home alone..."

We should get along well...

Ah Cai seemed to really like his new friend. After getting used to the environment for a while, he happily stuck out his tongue and kept circling around Lucy, occasionally sniffing around her rear end with his nose...

Lucy seemed to look down on the rustic creature... Ah Cai, which was much smaller than it, was licking its paws and didn't even glance at it.

Seeing this, Elena couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

"Okay, you two will become good friends..."

Afterward, she gave the cat and dog some food and water and then left them alone to get to know each other.

Back in the living room, as she passed the bathroom, she heard the sound of running water coming from inside…

"Lei? Are you taking a shower?"

After waiting for a while, there was no response from inside.

Elena didn't think much of it. After returning to her room and rummaging around for a while, she came out with a bath towel and a bathrobe in her hands, and then stood at the bathroom door again.

Before knocking, she took a few deep breaths to calm her nervous heart…

After all, this was the first time in her life that she had brought a man home alone, and he was a complete stranger.

Clang clang clang…

Elena knocked gently on the door twice and said somewhat nervously:

"I don't have any men's clothes here, so please make do for now. I'll buy you some new ones tomorrow... Of course, it will all be included in your rent."

She paused for a moment after speaking, but there was still only the sound of rushing water inside, and no one responded.

Clang, clang...

"Lei? Are you there?"

Sensing something was wrong, Elena raised her voice and knocked on the door twice more, then leaned closer to listen carefully…

With a creak, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside…

Caught off guard, Elena accidentally pressed her face against a hot, firm chest...

"what!"

She gasped, quickly retreating to the corner and turning her face away, her cheeks flushed red as she dared not look at the doorway…

The tall, robust man surrounded by wisps of steam.

"Sorry, the shower was too loud, I didn't hear it."

As Lei Ming spoke, he walked out of the bathroom naked, took a towel from Elena, who was turning her face away and not daring to look at him, and started wiping himself right in front of her.

Although Elena, her cheeks flushed, didn't dare to look directly at him, her eyes kept glancing at Lei Ming's chest and abdominal muscles out of the corner of her eye.

Then my gaze involuntarily drifted downwards…

"A generous gift of crabs..."

Elena's beautiful eyes gradually widened.

Lei Ming, while drying his wet hair, joked openly without any attempt to hide his true feelings.

With a "plop," Elena threw her robe at him, then ran back to her room as if fleeing, slamming the door shut.

After a while, her voice, which she tried to keep calm, came from behind the door.

"The storage room is empty; you can move in as soon as you tidy it up!"

Lei Ming couldn't help but chuckle, then casually tossed the towel into the bathroom and put on the large women's bathrobe...

The smaller women's nightgown looked a bit out of place and a little tight on Lei Ming, who was 1.9 meters tall, but he didn't care.

After wandering around the living room for a while, he leisurely leaned back on the sofa, his gaze passing through the bedroom door, where he saw Elena, who was frantically taking deep breaths.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile...

The gaze then continued to penetrate, extending all the way to another apartment at the very end…

Kara's room.

She had changed back into her everyday clothes and was standing in the living room, arms crossed, brows furrowed, looking preoccupied.

Seemingly noticing Lei Ming's gaze, she also looked over in their direction.

Their eyes met through several thick walls...

Lei Ming parted his lips slightly and whispered:

“Miss Danfoss…remember what I said, don’t do anything unnecessary, and I won’t cause you any trouble.”

I will…

I hope you will keep your promise and not hurt anyone, especially Elena, who is a teacher and a kind-hearted person…

and also…

Help me find Karl El.

Kara, not to be outdone, retorted.

Lei Ming simply nodded, then withdrew his X-ray vision and remained silent.

While Elena was playing with the cats and dogs... he made an agreement with Kara, or rather, through her, with the organization she represented.

He promised not to cause harm to human society, and in return, the other party should not interfere with him.

In addition, he also promised to help find the 'missing person,' Superman Kal-El.

In this timeline, Kara and Clark arrive on Earth at the same time, just like he and Anko…

However, both she and Anko survived the dangerous period and grew up to be well-known superheroes.

Clark, however, remains missing to this day…

Lei Ming guessed that he might be locked up in some extremely secluded place, just like he had been before.

Moreover, he has green kryptonite and a bunch of random weaknesses, so he might not be able to escape as easily as I could.

Although he didn't particularly like Clark, deep down he didn't want him to die...

Because the world needs superhumans like him.

Instead of someone like myself who is easily offended...

If he wants to live a peaceful and undisturbed life in this world...

The existence of these 'powerful' superheroes is an indispensable part.

So he did not refuse Kara's request.

吱…

The sound of the door opening interrupted his thoughts.

Elena, carrying a blanket and pillow, walked straight to Lei Ming, then threw the items at him and pointed at him menacingly, saying:

"Never again! Never again will you appear in front of me naked!"

Although...although you have a great figure...and amazing abs...

but!

That's incredibly disrespectful to women!

"Sorry, I'll pay attention."

Lei Ming nodded honestly.

"As long as you know!"

Elena crossed her arms, seemingly indicating that she was not someone to be trifled with.

"Also, your rent is paid weekly, and I can only allow you to be late by one day at most. After that, you must leave..."

At this point, she changed the subject.

“Unless you give Manny to me to raise, he will be happier with me. When I met him, he was so hungry that he had to rummage through the trash.”

"You're the boss, so I'll listen to you."

Lei Ming continued to express no objection, leaving Elena with her prepared rebuttals stuck in her throat. She seemed surprised that he agreed so readily…

Could there be another motive?

Elena thought for a moment and then added:

"Also, I want to tell you that I already have a boyfriend. He's very capable and strong!"

You are no match for him; you'd better not try anything with me.

"Really? Then you'll have to introduce me to him sometime."

Faced with Elena's 'threat,' Lei Ming couldn't help but find it amusing. She's clearly a grown-up virgin, what's she pretending for...?

Elena was speechless for a moment, and after saying a few perfunctory words, she fled back to her room.

Lei Ming also carried his bedding to the storage room next to the toilet.
