I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Upon opening the door, the small space contained only a few cardboard boxes and some cleaning supplies—just a few odds and ends.

He placed the bedding on the sofa, filled a bucket with water, and slowly began cleaning with a rag…

Behind him, Elena's bedroom door quietly opened a crack, and a pair of curious eyes secretly observed him.

Seeing that he was focused on tidying up the room and hadn't noticed her, Elena simply opened the door, crossed her arms, leaned against the door frame, and looked at him openly.

When Elena first saw this homeless man, she felt he wasn't an ordinary homeless person, and after his bath... besides being strikingly handsome, he possessed a certain charm that she couldn't quite describe...

She couldn't help but become more curious about this man. After a moment's hesitation, she spoke directly to his retreating figure:

How did you end up like this?

Lei Ming paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said while wringing out the rag:

"I made a mistake..."

Although it was something I felt I had to do.

But in other people's eyes, it was a very serious mistake, and it did indeed hurt many people around me…

Elena pressed, "And then?"

"Then…

To make up for this mistake, I could only cover it up with an even bigger one, until it eventually led to irreparable consequences…

So that's how I became.

Lei Ming's tone was calm, as if he were talking about something trivial.

But Elena inexplicably felt that... the truth was probably not as understated as he made it out to be.

But he clearly didn't intend to elaborate, and Elena wouldn't press for details, simply letting out a sigh as if expressing her feelings:

"All right…

Sometimes, there are things we don't have a choice about, do we?

After all, we are just ordinary people, not gods, and can only accept the arrangements of fate…

"Maybe…"

Lei Ming said, glancing back at her.

Elena didn't know what she saw in his eyes, but it made her unconsciously move closer...

They seemed to be mesmerized.

But she quickly seemed to come to her senses, hurriedly said goodnight, went back into the house, and locked the door.

Lei Ming had almost finished cleaning up. After tidying up a bit, he lay down on his makeshift bed on the floor, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought...

For him, sleeping on the floor, on a park bench, or on the street made no difference.

Even the most luxurious residences in the world held no appeal for him, just like roadside stones.

He could sense that there were fewer and fewer things that could pique his interest and keep him focused...

He was so indifferent that almost nothing could stir his emotions.

Is this the price of invincibility...?

He asked himself the same question.

……

On the other side, Kara, having finished her shower, lay on the bed with a laptop in front of her.

She is saving the conversation she just overheard into a document.

Although Lei Ming's words were ambiguous, she still wrote them down, intending to analyze them slowly.

Of course, Lei Ming also noticed her actions...

But as long as they don't bother him, he won't care.

Chapter 124 Repairing Water Pipes

In the vast universe, outside the International Space Station, an astronaut in a spacesuit is conducting routine maintenance on the outer shell of the module, with the blue planet behind him.

After the maintenance was completed, the astronaut was pulling on the tether to return to the capsule when he turned around...

A girl curled up slowly floated past him.

Oh my god! Such a generous crab! I'm so excited!

The astronaut's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed in surprise three times.

Because he clearly saw…

The girl wasn't wearing a spacesuit, just a regular t-shirt and jeans, with two braids hanging on her head, and no protection on her face or body...

It is almost equivalent to exposing the body completely to the vacuum of space.

But strangely... her body was covered with a faint green fluorescence.

It seems that it is precisely because of this fluorescence that she is protected from the erosion of the vacuum environment of the universe, making her face as serene as if she were asleep, and her skin color is no different from that of ordinary people.

This incredible phenomenon was clearly beyond the astronaut's comprehension. Just as he couldn't resist reaching out to touch the girl...

She suddenly opened her eyes!

……

Elena's apartment.

Lei Ming lay sprawled on the sofa like a salted fish, watching the live TV broadcast.

The content is about Supergirl Kara battling a female bank robber whose name is unknown.

The female robber seemed to be a criminal with superpowers; with a single glare, Kara inexplicably collapsed to the ground…

Then, unsurprisingly, he was stepped on in the stomach and given a brutal beating.

Lei Ming was speechless, unable to bear watching.

So brutal...

Kara truly lived up to her reputation as the shame of Krypton, ultimately being beaten so badly she couldn't get up, while the female robber disappeared into the distance with her bags and packages right before her eyes.

Lei Ming could more or less guess the reason why she kept getting inexplicably frustrated...

Unlike Clark, who possessed a code of life, Kara's genes granted her fixed traits; she could be a scientist, or she could be an artist…

In short, he won't be a soldier.

So even though her combat power is very high, she is unable to fully utilize and make good use of her power, resulting in her getting beaten up at the drop of a hat.

Just as Lei Ming was about to change the channel, another figure suddenly appeared on the screen…

Wearing a white battle suit and a silver cape, Anke descended from the sky, still holding the female robber who had just escaped, who was beaten black and blue and on the verge of death.

At this moment, a cheer erupted from the crowd…

Anke, with a mocking expression, said something and threw the dead-dog-like female robber in front of Kara, who immediately gritted her teeth, stood up, and started fighting with Anke again!

The two fought from the ground to the sky, and then from the sky to the horizon...

Finally, they turned into two black dots and disappeared from the camera's view.

Lei Ming was speechless for a moment...

What kind of logic is this?

She couldn't beat the female robber who was easily taken down by Anke, but she could fight Anke back and forth without being at a disadvantage.

So you were just acting to gain sympathy, huh?!

"boring."

Lei Ming grumbled and changed the channel... only to find that this channel was also showing the fight between Anke and Kara, continuing from where they left off...

It turns out the two fought their way to another city, where they were spotted by a local reporter on location.

Thunder: ...

At this moment, Ah Cai and Lucy were jumping and spinning around on the sofa, having a great time.

Elena also came out of the bedroom yawning, with dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well.

"Why did you get up so early?"

When Elena saw Lei Ming, she quickly covered her face, as if afraid that he would see her dejected state.

Lei Ming deliberately teased:

"You were too noisy last night... I couldn't sleep."

"What!?"

Elena was horrified. "What?! I'm too noisy! Don't talk nonsense! You're crazy!"

With a bang, she ran into the bathroom to start washing up.
