What's so good?"
"Nothing, I just think it's good that I haven't had a girlfriend and you haven't had a boyfriend."
Skye looked at Su Zhan and said, "You don't look like someone who hasn't had a girlfriend; you look more like a playboy."
"Even if I'm a playboy, I'm not the Stark type."
The sun was bright, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
Having a beautiful woman accompany him truly made a difference, and Su Zhan indeed experienced that enviable feeling. It must be said that Skye's figure was excellent, and she was very beautiful. Perhaps to satisfy Su Zhan's male pride, Skye had even specially dressed up.
Her appearance had a blend of Chinese and Western features; after all, she was a mixed-race, and her mother was Chinese.
The two of them together were quite a match.
And with Skye around, they could always find great places to go, or rather, secluded but delicious restaurants. As they spent more time together, their initial unfamiliarity gradually disappeared, becoming more and more familiar and comfortable with each other.
Skye was lonely.
So she really enjoyed the feeling of being with Su Zhan, a feeling she had never experienced before.
Chapter 0006 Confession
After several days of spending time together, Su Zhan found himself growing more and more fond of Skye.
If, at first, Su Zhan hoped to enter S.H.I.E.L.D. through her, and coupled with her inherent beauty and good figure, it was purely a man's instinctive appreciation for a woman, then now… Su Zhan found that he had developed feelings for her.
He believed Skye felt the same way.
The two had not clarified their relationship, nor had there been any breakthrough progress. For now, it could only be described as mutual affection, or perhaps a hazy period of ambiguity.
How does that saying go? Happy times are always short. The car… was fixed.
Once the car was fixed, Skye had no reason to continue living with Su Zhan, and they might even part ways. So Su Zhan was wondering whether to reveal his identity. Skye was a hacker, a member of the Tide organization. To put it plainly, she wasn't someone with a clean background. She hadn't told him her identity, which clearly showed she had reservations or worries. Su Zhan could also sense that Skye was very curious about his identity; he didn't believe Skye hadn't investigated him.
However, Skye had never brought it up, pretending not to know.
Therefore, Su Zhan really wanted to know if Skye merely wanted to enjoy this beautiful period or if she was serious. Most importantly, Su Zhan himself had fallen for Skye, so naturally, he couldn't let her leave!
"Bang!"
Skye pushed the door open and came out of the bedroom, carrying her belongings.
Clearly, she was preparing to leave.
Su Zhan looked at Skye; her expression was a bit hesitant, a bit reluctant…
"Are you… leaving?"
"Yes, the car is already fixed, and it's not good for me to keep imposing on you, not to mention I have other things to do, so…" Skye trailed off, unable to continue. She didn't understand how she could fall for someone in just a few days.
But she was clear about her inner feelings; she couldn't bear to part with Su Zhan so quickly.
For a lonely person, it's not easy to become dependent or reluctant to part with someone, but once that feeling arises, it's very difficult to forget.
"Before you go, there's something very important I need to clarify. Although it might seem absurd and unexpected, this matter must be made clear!" Su Zhan said earnestly.
Skye put down her things and sat down next to Su Zhan.
"I said before that I've never been in a relationship, and that's true. Perhaps… I am a playboy, and it's unavoidable for me to have certain thoughts about beautiful women, but those are merely a man's thoughts about a woman, not feelings. However, after spending these past few days together, I've found that I've fallen for you! So, Skye, will you be my girlfriend?" Su Zhan looked at Skye and said very, very seriously.
The sudden confession made Skye very happy; she hadn't expected Su Zhan to like her too. But…
"Su Zhan, actually… actually, I like you too, but I'm sorry, I can't be with you, because I…" Skye was in pain. She was a hacker, a hacker who specifically opposed the government and S.H.I.E.L.D..
Although she guessed that Su Zhan's identity might not be that simple, it was just a guess. She didn't want to involve Su Zhan.
What's more, she had her own goals!
She provoked S.H.I.E.L.D. precisely to attract S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention, and then to join S.H.I.E.L.D. to investigate her background and find out who her parents really were!
"I know you have reservations, and so do I. These past few days, I've been hesitating whether to tell you that my identity is actually very special. I come from China, but my memories are incomplete. I've lost a lot of memories. I'm like a helpless child who came here, not knowing what to do. Until I met you, it was as if life suddenly had meaning! I know you might mind these things…"
"No…"
Skye interrupted Su Zhan. She hadn't expected Su Zhan to tell her his secret, nor had she expected his memories to be incomplete. She could imagine the helplessness of someone who had lost their memory and arrived here alone!
"I don't mind. Although I don't know what exactly happened to you, trust me, I will help you find out!" Skye said seriously.
"The past is always just the past. I don't really care about it. What I look forward to more is the future, and I look forward to you being in that future!" Su Zhan grasped Skye's hand, looking at her expectantly.
Although fabricating the story of his memory loss made Su Zhan feel a little sorry for Skye, it was the most suitable reason.
Otherwise, what would he say? That he was a transmigrator? That he came to this World to become a king?
Even if Skye liked him, she would probably find it very hard to accept.
Moreover, putting feelings aside, Su Zhan also needed Skye's Ability. Not her Ability as the Inhumans Quake, but her hacking skills. In the future, he would definitely go solo and establish his own forces, and Skye's Ability was very important!
"Actually, I also have a secret I haven't told you. I'm a hacker, a very powerful hacker, and I just joined a civilian organization called 'Tide'. So, the future might be very troublesome, and I'm afraid of involving you!" Skye said.
Su Zhan smiled. "Don't worry, I will protect you. As for involvement, perhaps… perhaps I might involve you, after all… I'm already being watched by S.H.I.E.L.D. now."
"You're being watched by S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Skye immediately tensed up.
Su Zhan nodded and said, "That's right. Before I met you, I saw Black Widow. She followed me for a while, but she must not have found anything, so she left."
"Why?"
"Perhaps because of my special Ability!"
Chapter 0007 Fireman John
"Special Ability?"
"Yes, you should know that there are many super-powered individuals in this World, such as the Avengers, and the X-Men. I also possess a special Ability. However, I am not a Mutant. This Ability should be innate and awakened suddenly. It's a feeling; I can devour all energy without any adverse reactions. I previously absorbed Extremis, so S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered me, and they also discovered that I have no identity, so…"
"So they won't trust you, especially after knowing about this Ability of yours. It's very likely they'll capture you and take you to S.H.I.E.L.D. for research. No… I absolutely cannot let them take you…"
Skye thought for a moment, then took out her laptop and her fingers flew across the keyboard.
"What are you doing?" Su Zhan asked curiously.
"Helping you erase your recent records, so they can't find you. Then we'll leave here immediately!" Skye said.
"Wait, wait a moment…" Su Zhan called out to her.
"Believe me, I can do it." Skye thought he didn't believe in her skills.
