Which one is better if the officials are forced to die together [Comprehensive British and American]

... No, it cannot be said that nothing remained.

At least one person has always been a powerful presence between Carl and Lex, becoming the most unstable and destructive factor in their relationship.

superman.

Carl and Lex's conversations actually rarely involve Superman, which is uncanny between them, in fact, between any two Cosmopolitans, like two Londoners Never talking about the weather is as abnormal.

It didn't take long for this superhero who made his existence public and resident in the metropolis to win the love of all the metropolis.

Compared with his huge fan base, those who hate Superman, hate Superman and despise Superman are so rare that they are like saltwater fish in a freshwater lake. It is not a question of how many they are, but whether they really exist question.

But of course they've been there, they've always been, they've been there since the first day Superman came along, and even if Superman is gone - if Superman is ever going to be - maybe they still won't.

Lex is the best of them all.

The host on the stage began to speak, as usual with the routine of "thanks to all the guests, thank all the participants", no matter whether the people in the venue eat his set or not, no matter what thoughts they have in their hearts, they all have sincere expressions on their faces. Smile, laugh and clap to the cheering beat of the host.

"So," Carl said slowly amidst such voices, "still hate Superman so much?"

"I think so, Honey."

Lex's voice was ups and downs in the waves of human voices, unable to distinguish between joy and anger.

But his willingness to talk about it was enough to surprise Karl.

Karl didn't hide his surprise at all.

There is no need, they no longer need to hide each other. The two people sitting here are both the closest lovers and the most distant enemies. In fact, it is precisely because the distance between them is so close and so far away that this This delicate balance was preserved, maintaining their precarious relationship.

Carl always thought that one day Lex would lift the fig leaf that was left between them and reveal who he really was, and maybe that would be the day they broke up.

He thinks this way every day, all the time, he waits for Lex's reaction with complicated emotions, waiting for the fatal blow from his lover.

However, beyond his expectations, after so long, Lex was able to sit in the same row of seats with him and see him as Carl.Al, not Superman.

This long wait seems to never end.

It seemed like Lex, like him, couldn't bring himself to unravel the last secret that never really existed.

Carl has always known that Lex loved him, but until now he might not understand how strong and deep Lex's love is, strong and deep enough to endure the hatred for Superman.

Sadly, he also understood at the same time how much Lex hated Superman - so much that no amount of love, so strong and deep, could dissolve it.

The host had already finished speaking, and the star who was invited to warm up sang the most popular song recently, but Carl couldn't listen to anything, and believed that Lex might have the same mood as him.

"Honey." Lex called him.

"Ok?"

"Before I came to this flashy award ceremony, I went to the laboratory, where my greatest research results are. If I have the opportunity, I will show you around," Lex said, "but not now. "

"I'll keep looking forward."

They stopped talking for the next time, but the bigwigs sitting around them began to whisper about several nominated winners, and Karl didn't know any of those names except Tony.

"Maybe sometimes you can let go of your arrogance, Lexi." Carl began to find nothing to say, "Because the winners will have the opportunity to tell everyone about their award declarations when they come to the stage to accept the award. If you go on stage now The person who accepts the award is you instead of Nini, so we can publicize our relationship on this occasion."

"Our relationship has never been a secret relationship." There was a hint of a smile in Lex's voice, "What do you think, honey? Haven't we been high-profile enough in the past?"

"We can be louder," Carl said quickly. "I wish I could announce this to the world: You belong to me, and I belong to you."

Lex's expression moved, not only his expression, but even his breathing froze for a moment, Karl noticed it and figured out the reason in an instant.

—You belong only to me, and I belong only to you.

Sure enough, for control freaks, it's this kind of love talk that sounds possessive and sometimes even makes ordinary people feel creepy.

"...This proposal is very interesting." Lex's guttural voice showed that he was already shaken.

His vacillation was so definite that after he uttered this sentence, he refused to continue.

On the awards stage, the host has already rendered the atmosphere to a climax.

"...The winner this time is—"

The exciting background music rose to a place close to the highest point and stopped abruptly, like a high-flying tsunami stopping at the last second before landing.

The whole venue fell silent.

Whether it was the bigwigs sitting in special seats, the backup dancers crowded backstage taking off their costumes and makeup, or the candidates whose names had been read out, they all held their breath for a short time.

Needle-dropping can be heard in the huge venue.

However, at the same time, those heartbeats also became violent, bang bang bang, bang bang bang, it was as violent as the explosion of a series of hydrogen bombs, and the explosive sound waves temporarily stopped the entire space.

When the sound of the outside world is the most deafening, the human ear can only hear a humming in the air.

Karl is certainly not an ordinary person. Even if a supernova explodes beside him, he can clearly hear the sound of a butterfly flapping its wings on the distant earth.

But at this moment, he actually felt the hollow sound caused by the damaged eardrum behind the loud noise.

"—Tony Stark!"

Tony walked up to the podium in a leisurely manner, and by the way, winked at the people standing around him.People applauded spontaneously. Tony usually didn't care about the people sitting below applauding him, but this time Karl came to attend an award ceremony on a rare occasion, so he glanced absently at the seats.

Whoa, look what he saw?

Carl was sitting next to Lex.Luther.

Great, Tony thought, no wonder everyone in the room was smiling and applauding, but Carl was out of his mind when he applauded.

In contrast, Lex.Luther's half-smiley look was less annoying, after all Tony asked himself that he and Lex.Luther had no special friendship either.

That almost working with Luthor doesn't count.

Almost forced to talk to Lex.Luthor's cooperating with such a thing is the humiliation of his life, who would have thought?Him, Tony.Stark, a Stark, will one day negotiate with Lex because of the lack of funds for the experiment!

Tony thought this carefully, took the trophy from the award presenter, and didn't care what the host wanted to say while holding the microphone, he just stretched out his hand and snatched his microphone into his hand:

"Hi friends, hello, see you again, yes, who is the winner of the highest technology award this time? Anyway, it fell on my head again... well, although there is no suspense in this result, But I'm honored, after all I'd be ashamed if it did fall to someone else... Is my time said enough? Hmm? Not enough? Well, let me see what people I can thank ..."

"Thanks to my father and mother for making the world's greatest inventor born, to my secretary, Pep Potts, for his support of my experiments, and to my best friend, Karl Al, who also today Came to the scene..."

Following Tony's incoherent voice, the spotlight at the scene immediately hit Carl's head, and the live camera also temporarily shifted from Tony on the podium to Carl.Where Al was sitting.

"Hey, Lex," Carl said, "Tony is thanking me."

"I can hear it, Honey," Lex said casually. "What should I say about it? Congratulations to your best friend. Don't forget to spread your good name on occasions like this?"

"You said just now that my proposal was very interesting."

"...I did say that." Lex's Adam's apple trembled slightly.

He swallowed, not knowing what to think.

His movements were not very clear, at least it would be impossible to see the small movements he made just now if he didn't have abnormally powerful vision, but Carl happened to be the one with abnormally powerful vision.

Moreover, he not only possesses abnormally strong eyesight, but also possesses abnormally powerful hearing, able to hear any sound made by Lex.

He can even smell the scent information that human beings' degenerated sense of smell cannot correctly analyze. He smells the various hormones rapidly secreted by Lex, and knows that Lex is fully excited, even excited enough to play some adult games. game.

Does showing this to everyone make you so happy?

Or are you just mentally excited about my alter ego, about having Superman?

Carl raised his head, showing a faint smile in the milky white light.

The lens zoomed in on his face, those royal blue pupils that were always hidden behind the glasses were so rich in color that they were almost unreal in the bright light, and I don’t know how many people who turned their eyes to his face were screened by this smile. He held his breath and sighed in his heart:

Oh, God……

His smile is so pure and sweet, as if from the first day of his birth, those sweet eyes have not carried the slightest sorrow.

Then in the live broadcast, under the attention of everyone at the scene or the whole world, Carl turned his head, cupped Lex's head with one hand, and kissed it deeply.

The author has something to say: Carl: Do you like to play big?

Carl: Okay, let's play the big one.
