American Comics: When the Police Comes to Knock on the Door

In the evening, Richard prepared a sumptuous dinner for Jessica, and he was going to reward this hard-working girl. It’s tiring just thinking about being a part-time hero while working an ordinary job.

Richard never imagined that Jessica would engage in heroic activities, even if she had the ability. Richard thought Jessica would comply with Mr. Jones's wishes and live as an ordinary person.

That was true at first, until Jessica met her college roommate, Patricia Walker.

Under Patricia's lobbying, Jessica put on a white tights with blue edges, a purple wig and sunglasses, and became a superhero named "Jumbo". Although it didn't accomplish anything big, it really helped a lot of people.

"The power went out again. Didn't you just pay the electricity bill?" Jessica asked as she pushed the door open and looked at the flickering candlelight in the house.

"Don't be such a spoiler, candlelight dinner." Richard stood up, took Jessica's coat, and hung it on the hanger.

"By the way, I'll give you the money for the electricity bill." Jessica walked towards the dining table.

“Hey candlelight dinner”

Richard took a step forward and pulled out the seat. After Jessica took the seat, he opened the red wine, poured wine for Jessica and himself, and then sat across from Jessica.

"Thank you, sir."

"My pleasure, ma'am."

clink.

"Let me guess. Chicken with tangerine peel, beef fillet with broccoli, dragon boat fish, vegetarian noodles. So, shouldn't you be the one cooking at Golden Dragon Restaurant to show your sincerity?"

"You want me to cook myself"

"It doesn't matter. There's nothing wrong with the food you make except it tastes bad."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"You're welcome. How was the interview?"

"Well Jesse, I have something to tell you."

Feeling the change in the atmosphere, Jessica put down her chopsticks, looked into Richard's eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Richard briefly informed Jessica of what had happened. After all, this was a dangerous job and Jessica had the right to know. As for the principle of confidentiality, it is not Jessica’s turn.

Richard loves Jessica deeply. If even Jessica might betray him, then his life would be too boring. He wasn't afraid that Jessica would be threatened. He was so blind that he couldn't tell who was threatening whom.

Jessica: "Rick, no matter what, I will not be a stumbling block on your way forward. Just like you have always supported me, I will always support you."

Jessica is not worried about the dangers Richard faces, but this cannot be her reason to stop Richard.

"I love you, so I worry about you, so I stop you" is a selfish logic. Because all the standards of action are based on "I" and never consider the feelings of "you". And often this "I" will accuse "you" of selfishness with the argument "I love you more than myself". As a result, all the starting points of "I" are to prioritize "my" feelings. It can be seen that "I" Love himself more.

When you accuse others of being selfish, you yourself have become selfish.

"Thanks. Jesse, I love you."

"I love you too."

Their eyes met in the air.

Next, the two of them chatted, ate, and drank. The shadow reflected by the candlelight is fuzzy and warm.

It’s great to have her and him in this world.

After eating, Richard slumped on the sofa, narrowed his eyes and said to Jessica; "Jesse, is it your turn to clear the table for the dinner I prepared?"

"Okay, let me take a shower first."

Hey, why are you so straightforward today? In daily life, I just agree to the routine.

On the contrary, Richard felt a little embarrassed because of Jessica's bluntness, but since everyone agreed, he couldn't just deal with it with a shy face. He just sat on the sofa, and the sound of running water from the bathroom was arousing.

"Routine, it must be a routine. No matter what new routine it is, she will definitely clear the table today." Richard thought.

After a while, the sound of running water stopped, and Jessica walked out wearing a large bathrobe. She smiled and said to Richard; "Rick, I recently made a new one."
