Chapter 56 Anne's Thoughts

The girl had just finished taking a shower, and he ran over to get dinner.

Those who know that he was having dinner, but those who don't know might think Kevin had bad intentions.

But on second thought, Annie is not living alone now, and Kimiko is still staying at Annie's house. Even if Kevin really wants to do something, he has to pay attention to Kimiko's eyes.

Besides, Kevin really came here to get dinner, not with dirty thoughts, and Annie didn't say anything.

The more he thought about it, the more at ease Kevin felt, and then he walked into the room without hesitation.

As soon as he entered the room, Kevin heard Annie say to him:

"Because I didn't expect you to come, I didn't prepare much... What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Whatever, just have something to eat."

Kevin came here just to get skill points from Kimiko, and eating was just a more appropriate reason, so Kevin didn't care even if he ordered takeout.

"Hmm..."

Annie didn't seem to expect Kevin to say that. She hesitated for a moment and then asked:

"Then I'll fry some chicken steaks and make some salad?"

"Okay, you're the host and I'm the guest, I'll listen to you."

Kevin said it didn't matter.

After deciding on the dinner menu, Anne nodded slightly and turned to the kitchen to get busy.

Annie's house in New York is similar to that of a normal family, with two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen.

The kitchen is connected to the living room, with only a platform about one meter high in the middle, and no other barriers.

Kevin can see Annie busy while sitting here, and Annie can also see the living room where Kevin is.

Just looking at Annie busy in the kitchen, Kevin, who was originally planning to chat with Kimiko, suddenly felt a little guilty and realized that his current behavior seemed a bit excessive.

Annie had just finished taking a shower, and she was asked to go to the kitchen to cook. By then, she would be covered in oil smoke, which seemed a bit bad.

Kevin also felt that he might be too rude.

So after thinking for a while, Kevin came to the high table next to the kitchen and sat down, and said to Annie who was busy inside:

"Um, I just thought about it, why don't we order a few pizzas."

"Why? You came here just to eat takeout pizza with us?"

Annie asked with amusement while preparing.

Kevin looked at Annie who had put on an apron, and then looked at her hair without a scarf, and said:

"Well, it's mainly because you just washed your hair..."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, Kimiko and I have to have dinner."

Annie didn't stop her hands and asked, looking for a topic:

"By the way, what did you do in the afternoon?"

"You know, some work things, I've been busy every day since I saved the plane."

Kevin didn't mention the shock wave to Annie because there was no need, and subconsciously, Kevin didn't want Annie to know these "bad" sides.

"After all, you did save a lot of people, you great hero."

Annie didn't doubt it, and she didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and joked with Kevin.

Kevin waved his hand helplessly:

"What great hero? I just... bumped into him by coincidence."

In fact, it was just for skill points.

But Kevin couldn't tell Anne about the skill points.

Kevin just wanted to say that he didn't want to be a real hero, but Anne seemed to have a different opinion.

She suddenly turned around and said to Kevin very seriously:

"Whether it was a coincidence or something else, it is a fact that you saved those people. Just for this reason, you can be called a hero."

"Really." But Kevin had a different idea: "So do you think Homelander and Locomotive are also such heroes?"

"They are different!"

"What's the difference? In front of the public, they are also heroes who saved the plane. No matter what they did secretly, at least on the surface, they have saved a lot of people."

Kevin whispered.

Anne's idea may be right. Regardless of their private lives, the superheroes who save everyone on the surface should all be considered heroes.

But what is the truth?

"I don't think these can be confused."

Anne let out a long breath and looked at Kevin: "They are different from you, at least in my opinion."

Kevin didn't know that his image in Anne's heart has always been perfect.

Although Kevin looks a little lazy in the eyes of others, he always slacks off at work and is always afraid of trouble and doesn't want to get involved in troublesome things.

But in fact, if someone really has difficulties, Kevin will choose to step forward to help.

The group of human traffickers encountered in the sea last time was like this, and it was also the same when Anne asked him to save Kimiko.

It is the same now.

He always said that he was not the hero that Anne imagined. Maybe he had some defects and minor problems in his character, but in Anne's eyes, he was a hero.

Once you have a preconceived notion, then no matter what Kevin's problems are, as long as they are not particularly excessive, Anne thinks that they are normal.

This is also the reason why Anne likes him.

At this moment when the Seven are almost full of assholes, Kevin's little problems have become nothing in Anne's eyes.

So Kevin is different from Homelander and Locomotive, and different from those superheroes who have lost their sacred halo.

He is the only hero in Anne's heart who can now be called a hero... hero.

Kevin didn't know that Anne's inner thoughts were so complicated, and if Anne didn't say it, he wouldn't know.

Kevin just felt that if he continued to talk about this topic, it might turn into a debate between the pros and cons, so he quickly changed the topic and said:

"Well, by the way, how are you preparing for the Faith Expo of Ezekiel?"

The topic turned to business, and Annie calmed down and went back to work on dinner, and answered by the way:

"It's still the same. I only met Ezekiel a few times when I was a child, and I'm not that familiar with him. So except for communication at work, we don't communicate much in private, and..."

When Annie said this, her expression suddenly became very strange:

"He seems to be deliberately keeping a distance from me. Is it my illusion?"

At work, Ezekiel always keeps a proper distance from Annie, although Annie can understand that this is the courtesy that Ezekiel shows in order to maintain his demeanor.

But between him and men...isn't it a little too close?

Annie expressed her confusion, and Kevin couldn't help laughing.

He then remembered that he forgot to tell Annie something that was not critical but very interesting.

"Pfft, I almost forgot to tell you, he's gay."

"Ah?"

Bang.

Anne's knife, which was about to cut the chicken steak, suddenly lost its strength and chopped on the cutting board, her expression full of surprise and disbelief.

She was stunned for a while, and after a while she asked in disbelief:

"He is... gay? Let me ask first, your gay, you should not mean..."

"Yes, you understand it correctly, that's what I mean, he is a homosexual, I was lucky enough to see him hugging two boys in a bar."

Kevin was talking about Shen Hai's first visit to the superhuman bar. At that time, Shen Hai had met Yi Jie Xi, but the two did not communicate much.

And Shen Hai didn't go there much after that.

But Yi Jie Xi used his rubber hand, like a rope, to wrap around the two handsome boys, stroking their key parts, and Shen Hai was deeply impressed by this scene.

It was the first time he knew that superpowers could be used in this way.

"Ah... ha..."

Annie turned around in a trance and continued to make dinner.

It's not that she looks down on gays. In this free country, she doesn't think there's anything wrong with this.

But... Ezekiel is different.

On the surface, this guy is a staunch Christian, and a traditional Christian. He is quite against homosexual relationships and unclean love before marriage.

On the surface, he is firmly opposed, but he messes around in private.

At this moment, Anne's faith in God and Jesus was shaken again. If the "spokespersons" chosen by God are all such guys, then God must be blind...

Annie shook her head quickly when she realized that she had some disrespectful thoughts.

Anyway, regardless of whether God is blind or not, I understand the reason and reason why Ezekiel is unwilling to have a good relationship with Anne.

It turns out that he doesn't like women at all.

"Wait a minute."

After talking about Yijiexi, Annie finally realized:

"You mean the bar? Have you been to the bar that Yijiexi often goes to?"

"Uh... I only went there once in a while, and then I stopped going there. That bar is actually very boring and uninteresting."

For some reason, Kevin immediately started to explain when he saw Annie's suspicious look.

But Annie didn't misunderstand anything as he thought. She just said strangely:

"I didn't blame you for anything. I just wanted to say that since you have a more convenient way to contact him, why didn't you say it earlier? I wasted half a month in vain..."

"..."

Annie's words were not sharp. She just expressed doubts from her own perspective.

But Kevin was silent instantly.

He was silent for a long time without saying anything.

Yes, I clearly knew the bar that Yijiexi often went to, and I also knew when Yijiexi would go there, so why didn't I tell Annie about this earlier...

Thanks to 'Book Friend 20221102172318918' for the reward, and 'The Nightmare Called Reality' for the continuous reward.

Thank you very much!

Well, in addition, I occasionally read the comments and paragraph reviews. Although I don't reply, I really read them... So thank you all for your suggestions here.

I also hope that everyone will discuss and complain more, so that I can copy (cross out) and have the motivation to continue writing!

Thanks again!
