[Comprehensive British and American] After the Raiders

Clark looked at the man who walked into the house with a tired face. Ever since the man's tabloid went bankrupt, he had rarely seen a smile on a man's face. That kind of smile was free and unrestrained, even innocent. .

The failed entrepreneurship seems to make men see that the world is far from as beautiful as imagined, and the heavy pressure makes men mature and stable quickly.

But apart from possessing incredible power, Clark, who is just an unknown person, can't help the man's career. He can only give the man encouragement and comfort with a warm and sincere hug after the man takes a bath.

He said softly to the man,

"everything will get better."

The man rested his head on the side of his neck with extra peace of mind, and sighed softly,

"Fortunately, I still have you by my side."

They started living together not long after they dated. After the man fell down and was busy with his career all day, Clark would considerately help the man deal with various sundries in the house.

At the beginning, neither Clark nor the man was at a loss for various bills. When asking each other, most of the time they got blank expressions from each other.Before this, the man had always had a private accountant to help him with these bills, but now the man obviously can't afford that.

They stumbled along the way, and when Clark was gradually able to handle those things proficiently, they also added a lot of interesting conversations for the neighbors in this apartment building.

Accompanying the man gradually through the trough of life, Clark found that the smile on the man's face gradually became lighter.

That night, when Clark came home, it was rare to see the man prepare dinner for him in advance. He looked at the man with a puzzled smile,

"What happened? You look happy today."

The man put a glass of fruit juice in front of Clark. The smile on his face was particularly contagious, and his mood couldn't help but brighten up.

"I will take you to a place later."

Clark tilted his head and asked, "Where are you going?"

The man shrugged his shoulders and raised the corners of his mouth, "It wouldn't be a surprise to tell you."

Clark smiled, and speeded up his dinner in coordination.

It's just that when standing in front of that familiar building, Clark still didn't understand what a man meant.

He followed the man into the elevator. The building was very quiet at this time, and there were only the two of them in the elevator.

"How did you bring me here?"

The man pressed a number and laughed,

"Do you remember when we first met?"

The man's words evoked Clark's memories, which made him laugh,

"Of course, being stuck in an elevator for the first time in your life is a special experience."

The man shrugged and smiled, "That's a good memory for me."

"Without that elevator failure, I would never have had the chance to meet you."

Clark shook his head with a smile. Sometimes in retrospect, he would also be grateful that he was trapped in a small space with a strange man for an entire hour, and it was a man who made him fall in love at first sight, as if some kind of Something magical and unknown is about to entangle their futures.

The elevator stopped on the 11th floor. When the elevator door slowly opened, Clark was taken aback by the familiar decoration inside.

"This is?"

He suddenly recalled something and looked back at the floor number next to the elevator.

"I've rented this place again," the man suddenly hugged Clark, with an unconcealable smile in his complex tone, "everything is fine as you said."

Clark couldn't help showing a happy smile for the man, and he hugged the man back with his strong hands, as if to give support and comfort.

"Without you, I wouldn't come back here." The man's reassuring voice came from next to his ear, "Walking into that elevator at that time and getting to know you was probably the most correct and luckiest thing I did in my life. thing."

This was simply the most beautiful love story for Clark, and the excitement leaked from the man's words also infected Clark. He couldn't help but recall the bumps and bumps they had along the way, and the smile on his face became extraordinarily soft and warm.

They've been through the toughest times together, and when things turn out well, their bond grows stronger and closer.

It was a better time than when they first got together.

It seems that their positions have been reversed. During that time, it was Clark who encouraged, comforted and cared for the man. Now, when he wakes up every day, he will receive various small gifts at the bedside, and the dining table will be prepared in advance. Breakfast, or even any slight change in his mood, the man will be aware of it immediately, and will think of various ways to try to cheer him up.

But gradually, men treated him more and more meticulously, and Clark became more and more uneasy. Sometimes he even felt that what men did to him now was not because of how much men loved him, but as if men were giving back what he has paid.

"What's the matter with you these days?"

Sensing movement beside him, Clark turned around to face the man lying on the bed.

"No, it's fine," he replied automatically.

He looked into the man's eyes, his eyes flickered, his face hesitated, and after a short pause, he still asked, "Do you love me?"

This abrupt question made the man's face look puzzled, but his answer was still very affirmative,

"Of course, you are my everything."

But this is not the answer Clark most hopes to get.

The wrong communication method unconsciously created a rift between them, so that it developed into the first quarrel since their relationship.

"What do you want?" The man looked into Clark's eyes wearily, "What do I need to do?"

Clark watched the figure of the man disappear at the door, and was stunned for a long time. He suddenly realized that if he didn't do something, the distance between them would only grow further and further apart.

So he chased after him, almost emptied out all the words he could think of for a while, and kept the man back.

Everything seems to be back to the way it was before.

"Look, another poor worm."

Clark frowned at the man who stood up slowly.

Even after being struck by Clark several times with great force, the man looked unharmed except for his disheveled clothes.

"You see." The corner of the man's mouth was slightly raised, and he looked at Clark with a mocking smile, "He only has that woman in his eyes now, and he doesn't care about our 'past'."

Clark subconsciously followed the man's gaze and turned his head. In order to prevent the man from accidentally injuring Neil, Clark threw the man to the rock at the end of the beach, but this distance will not affect his sight.

Over there, the tear-stained, terrified blond woman was throwing herself into Neil's arms. They hugged each other and stood under the streetlight by the beach, like a love movie with a happy ending. There is only each other in the whole world, the atmosphere It's so beautiful that it seems to be two worlds completely separated from here.

He hasn't seen Neil for a long time, it seems that after they separated, he lost the news of Neil, even his super hearing, can't catch any information about Neil, just like Neil Suddenly disappeared from this world.

But even after such a long time since they separated, this scene still made him feel numb for an instant, as if he couldn't feel anything, and his expression gradually became blank. This feeling was like returning to when Neil stood beside him when it is time to leave.

"Guess what he's saying to that woman," the man's voice pulled Clark back from the complicated mood, "The sweet words he used to say in the past will only be used on that woman now."

"He doesn't care what happened on our side at all," the man looked at Clark sincerely. "The fight between us is completely meaningless."

"Our presence will only bore him," he sighed as if tired, "I give up."

Clark watched the man's figure gradually disappear from his sight, but the man's words seemed to be engraved in his mind, and they were played back over and over again, making him stand there in a daze for a long time.
