Chapter 775 Are You Willing to Save Me?

December is not a good time to ride horses, because the weather has started to get cold. Although it hasn't started snowing in Oregon yet, the surrounding farms are already looking lifeless. This is mainly because all kinds of animals, including birds, have begun to prepare for winter.

The surrounding area of ​​the empty farm seemed deserted, and another farm was some distance away. So riding in this weather has a sense of loneliness.

But Li Jie and Lan didn't care, because they were not in the mood of riding a horse. Although the weather is fine today, the winter sun shone warmly on my body. The two rode hand in hand on two smooth-coated brown horses, and they wandered looking at the fields that had withered in the winter.

The breeze gently brushed Lan's hair, disturbing her strands. She gathered her hair, took out a rubber band from her pocket, and casually tied them into a ponytail shape.

"Tell me, don't all the women behind the superheroes have a hard time?" Lan rode a horse and looked at the scenery, and suddenly asked Li Jie this question, which caught Li Jie a little off guard.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask this question?" Li Jie didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Lan touched the mane of the horse under him: "Because I saw two women in completely different situations in the past two days. Pepper and Betty. I also saw two different men, Tony and Banner."

“Before Pepper’s wedding, I had a long chat with her in the Ladies’ Guest House. We talked about many things about her and Tony. Including how she helped Tony stop drinking when she first became Tony’s secretary. Then she helped him deal with various issues. It's a mess of life."

"The next thing is to help him manage the company and be responsible for the financial balance. We also need to calculate the things that Iron Man has done, whether they are good or bad, the final result costs, and whether these costs are within the controllable range. Pepper is doing his best. Do everything possible to prevent Tony from going bankrupt."

The tone of these stories Lan told is a little heavy, but this is indeed the truth, and it is also an unavoidable problem. Li Jie didn't interrupt because he knew that Lan hadn't finished speaking.

Sure enough, after sighing, Lan said again: "Pepper and Tony got married. This should be considered a happy ending, right? But why do I feel like she is in a quagmire? Especially in her wedding vows, I have a feeling that The feeling that she needs to help Tony Stark with his aftermath for the rest of his life."

Lan's feeling is not an illusion. Judging from Tony's personality, Pepper probably really needs to help him deal with the aftermath for the rest of his life when he becomes his wife. Tony was like a kid who would never grow up.

He maintains a strong curiosity about everything, but is overly sensitive. He needs someone to protect the softest part of his heart.

"The Miss Betty I saw today is another kind. She doesn't look as capable and strong as Pepper, but she is more gentle like water. It is this kind of gentleness that allows her to persist for so many years without collapsing, until today. "

"Before this, it was Ms. Betty who encouraged and supported Dr. Banner. Only then did he have the opportunity to subdue his inner demons, and finally walked out of the nightmare of the Hulk Hulk. He became the new Dr. Banner again. Miss Betty used Her tolerance explains what is called [the strength of water]."

Li Jie nodded: "Yes, you are not wrong in saying that. Without the strength and support of these two women, maybe we would not see Iron Man and Dr. Banner today."

"Perhaps one has long since died of excessive drinking and indulgence, and the talent of the whole body is dissipated. And the other may not be able to escape from his own nightmare at all, and regards all this as self-punishment, and finally even abandons himself completely. What can a person become? What kind of person you are, not only because of what kind of person you are, but also because of what kind of people he (she) will meet in your life."

Lan suddenly got a little upset, and she rode her horse and galloped for a while. Li Jie followed closely. After running for at least two kilometers, Lan stopped before stopping.

She turned her head and looked at Li Jie with deep eyes: "I mean, if you are more selfish. If these women have never met these men, and have not fallen into the gentle trap they made up. Instead, they start another life, will they Live a little happier?"

"They have no superpowers, no dreams of saving the world. They are more fragile and more easily injured than their significant other. If they meet another man at another time, there are not so many twists and turns, just a peaceful life. This kind of faint happiness, will they live a better life?"

Lan used her woman's perspective to interpret what she had seen in the past two days. She didn't know why she felt an inexplicable irritability in her heart. This feeling of restlessness even made her inexplicably want to escape from this world.

Hearing Lan's complaints, Li Jie slowly rode his horse close to Lan. When the distance was close enough, he leaped directly and rode with Lan. Li Jie gently hugged Lan, Lan did not refuse. She just has to take you in a trance.

Li Jie sniffed the fragrance wafting from Lan's hair, and whispered in Lan's ear: "Maybe what you said is right. I didn't meet Tony Stark, Pepper Pepper is still Pepper Pepper. She will not change because of whether she meets Tony, she will still be a strong woman and shine in this world."

"The same is true for Miss Betty. If she hadn't met Bruce Banner, she would still be that gentle and beautiful female scientist. She would definitely have many suitors. Maybe she would not be the woman she is in the arms of Dr. Banner today. The Miss Betty who was crying in the house. But the Miss Betty who rode horses and laughed with another handsome man on this farm, or it may be Mrs. So-and-so."

Lan lay on Li Jie's chest weakly, looking into the distance: "Yeah, isn't that a good life? They are just mortals. Why do they have to take on more responsibilities than superheroes, even pain Woolen cloth?"

"Maybe the division of responsibilities is different?" Li Jie suddenly said something that surprised Lan. She sat up straight and turned her head to look at Li Jie, she was a little confused: "Huh?"

"There are many people in this world with different jobs. Some are responsible for cooking, while others are responsible for delivery. Super criminals are responsible for destroying, and superheroes are responsible for saving. Superheroes are responsible for saving and changing the world. Perhaps because of responsibility, Maybe it's because of interest, maybe it's because of ideals." Li Jie said in a low voice.

And Lan looked at Li Jie and asked: "Then the women behind the heroes? What are they responsible for?"

Li Jie smiled: "Superheroes are responsible for saving the world, and the woman behind this is responsible for saving superheroes. Just like a car cannot run without gasoline, a hero without support is lonely."

Lan listened to Li Jie's words and nodded silently, she sighed heavily.

Li Jie hugged her lightly and whispered in her ear: "Then, are you willing to save me, Lan."

Lan looked back at Li Jie with a hint of confusion in his eyes. Before she could answer, Li Jie's face was getting closer and closer to her. Lan could even feel the heat and softness of Li Jie's lips.

Well, let's not open the portal this time, just this one time. Lan blushed a little.
