Rachel was startled by Clark's low growl. She was a paper tiger, but now that she was yelled at by the other party, and the only weapon in her hand, the baseball bat, was taken away, Rachel immediately died down. He took two steps back and shrank his shoulders: "You...you...what are you shouting, I was the one who was framed and gang-beaten, you, don't show an expression that you are the victim, okay? good?"

For a moment, Clark really wanted to tear off the suit he was wearing outside, revealing the red and blue uniform, and let the crazy female anchor know why he was so angry.

But seeing her wobbly eyes and slightly trembling shoulders, Clark could only take a deep breath, forcing himself to suppress the anger in his heart, rubbed the center of his brows, and sighed: "Miss Fang, I admit , That report did not match the facts. It was my fault. When I returned to the office with the video I took, someone accidentally took the video away and cut it, so I finally logged in. Articles in newspapers are taken out of context, and I am truly sorry for the hurt this has caused you.

I will try my best to make up for this mistake. If you really think that hitting me a few times can calm you down, then please do it. "

With that said, Clark handed the baseball bat back to Rachel.

Rachel was holding the bat, but she couldn't hit it. On the one hand, she was afraid that this guy was cheating. What if she really hit him, and he immediately rushed over to beat her?This is the underground garage, there is no one else but the two of them!On the other hand...

For some reason, she felt vaguely in her heart that what this tall rustic man just said... seemed quite sincere.

So she grabbed the bat and said, "Let's talk about hitting you later! Where's the original video? What about the whole video you secretly filmed? Hurry up and bring it to me!"

Rachel felt that only by releasing the full video of the original version to the public, the group of manic fans might be calmed down.

But the reporter in front of him couldn't help but frowned when he heard Rachel say that, showing a look of embarrassment: "I'm sorry... I'm afraid I can't give you the video."

"Why?"

Clark rubbed his forehead, thinking, should he tell her that after the domestic violence news hit the newspaper that day, the original video in his hand was snatched away by those rambunctious guys from The Flash?The group of spectators snatched the video away, but in the end they even damaged the camera disk by mistake!So... Now apart from the few photos in the "Daily Planet", there is no other evidence at all.

He had no choice but to lie: "Sorry, the camera disk was accidentally damaged by me, and all the contents inside were destroyed and cannot be repaired."

Rachel suddenly felt a bolt from the blue fall on her head: "No...no? Don't you even have a backup?"

"Sorry... I didn't have time." Clark only felt his head hurt more and more.

"How could this be... Then, wouldn't my grievances be washed away for the rest of my life?" Rachel murmured in a hopeless voice. She suddenly felt a little scared in her heart, and she didn't know that this group of fanatical fans treated her How long will the attack continue?If it continues, she will definitely be beaten again!

If that's the case, what else is she barely doing with Steve?Anyway, sooner or later they will be dismantled by fans!Why don't we take the opportunity to break up?Anyway... she didn't like Steve in the first place anyway, did she?

But I don't know why, when Rachel thinks of the words "break up with Steve", her heart is very blocked!

He obviously thought that Rachel was making a noise like hundreds of ducks just now, but when the girl in front of him suddenly fell silent, Clark felt a little guilty in his heart. No matter what, Rachel was beaten by a gang because he had nothing to do with it. It doesn't matter, although her character doesn't please me, she is just an ordinary girl after all.

Clark's heart couldn't help softening, and he comforted him: "Miss Fang, don't worry, how about this, in two days I will help you write an article to clarify the facts in the newspaper, and I will explain the ins and outs of what I took out of context. what do you think?"

After being dazed for a few seconds, Rachel re-entered the spoiling mode. She picked up the club in her hand and began to knock on Clark's body: "It's not good at all! You're just an unknown reporter, who would believe you?" What! They must have thought that I bought you with money and asked you to say good things for me! It's all your fault, all of you, you unqualified gossip reporters, when you wrote an article against your conscience, did you consider me? party!"

Clark didn't resist, so he just stood there and let her hit him. Anyway, Rachel's strength hit him like a mosquito tickling, but Clark was fine, which doesn't mean the bat was fine, so Rachel hit him. After dozens of strokes of the arm, the baseball bat made of solid wood suddenly split into two pieces with a "click".

Rachel held the remaining half of the bat in her hand, staring blankly at the gap: "I just bought this on the way..." It broke after just a few hits?

She couldn't help looking at Clark with a puzzled expression. It's strange. After hitting him so many times, even though she is strong and looks resistant to beating, why doesn't she seem to feel any pain at all?

Rachel frowned, and was about to lift his sleeves to take a look, but at this moment, a slightly hasty male voice suddenly came from behind: "Rachel!"

She was taken aback for a moment, turned her head slowly, and saw Steve appearing in front of her.

"Why did you come here? I've been looking for you for a long time." Steve came to her side with a little eagerness, and then he saw the broken bat in Rachel's hand, and couldn't help becoming nervous, "What's going on here?" thing?"

Rachel suddenly remembered that she was still sulking with him, so she snorted.

Instead, Clark shook hands with Steve politely: "Hi, I'm Clark Kent. The thing is, I'm apologizing to her for hurting Ms. Fang because of the previous false report."

Steve was taken aback!He had heard Rachel mention it before, saying that she was going to seek revenge on the reporter who wrote the report, but he never thought that the report was written by Clark!Although the outside public basically doesn't know that Clark Kent's real body is Superman, the true identity of the superhero is an open secret in the circles of their two alliances.

However, it seems that Clark didn't intend to break the secret, so Steve quickly recovered his composure and nodded to him: "You can apologize to her, I am very grateful to you."

As soon as he finished saying this, Rachel gave him a blank look. Steve smiled lightly, leaned forward and said, "Okay, Rachel, this Mr. Kent has also apologized to you. Let it pass? Okay?"

Rachel wanted to say it was bad, very bad, so why let him go like this!But with a flash of sight, she suddenly found that Steve was carrying a huge cake box in the other hand, with her favorite matcha flavor pattern printed on it, Rachel's attention was immediately attracted, and she just met Clark After "confrontation" for so long, she is really hungry!

Rachel, who has been being fed by Steve for the past few days, immediately stretched out her hand consciously to take the cake box, but unexpectedly, the other party dodged back and avoided her hand!

Rachel immediately raised her eyes and glared at him, but Steve looked at her with a smile: "You promise me first, accept Mr. Kent's apology, and this cake will be yours."

This guy actually learned to threaten himself!Rachel was very angry immediately, picked up the bat in her hand and hit him, then turned around and walked out angrily.

Steve hurried to catch up, but after a few steps, he remembered something, turned back, lowered his voice and said to Clark, "Rachel has caused you trouble, and I apologize to you on her behalf."

Clark shook his head: "It's still my fault for the report, you don't need to apologize."

Then, he explained the ins and outs of the previous "false report" to Steve again as quickly as possible.Compared with Rachel, Steve was obviously much calmer. After listening to it, he nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I have heard the cause and effect from people in the bureau before, although Rachel was injured because of it. It's true, but you can't blame it all on you, not to mention... She's been angry with you for so long just now, so I think... why don't we let this matter go, what do you think? "

In fact, if the person who wrote this report was not Clark, but another ordinary person, Steve might not have let this matter "pass" so easily, but for some reason, he subconsciously didn't really want Clark and Rachel will have any contact in the future, although the two of them don't seem to be quite right now, but he just feels weird.

Superman nodded immediately: "Of course, thank you for your understanding. If you need me in the future...or if we help, please feel free to ask."

Steve naturally understood that the "we" in his mouth meant the Justice League, so he gave him a polite smile, and then followed Rachel's footsteps and left.

It was noon at this time, pedestrians were hurrying on the street, and Rachel was walking through the dense crowd alone. Steve worried that she would be framed by villains, so he hurried to catch up, and accidentally bumped into many people on the way.

"Rachel! Rachel!" It wasn't until Rachel turned into a deserted alley that Steve finally caught up with her.He stood in front of her with a helpless expression, "Are you still angry with me?"

Rachel glared at him, snatched the cake from his hand, and still ignored him.

Steve had no choice but to say: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone on the rooftop that day... I was emotionally unstable at the time, and I won't be anymore, please believe me."

Hearing his explanation, Rachel became even angrier!Where is she caring about whether the roof is not the roof!What she cared about was clearly... clearly the way Steve and Natasha talked intimately in front of her that day!

Rachel originally wanted to keep ignoring him, but after thinking about it, she felt that if she continued to sulk like this, she would only kill herself, so she decided to tell him clearly!

"Now I ask you a question, and you must answer it honestly. In return, you can also ask me a question, and I will answer you honestly. Do you think it's okay?" Rachel asked him holding the cake.

Steve breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh...you are finally willing to talk to me..."

"Hey! Answer my question!"

"Well... okay, if you ask, I will never lie to you."

That's about it!Rachel glanced at him before saying, "You...you...do you like Natasha?"

Steve was startled for a moment, and then laughed: "Why do you ask that? Of course not, we are just colleagues."

"Then why that day..." Rachel wanted to continue to ask, but when she looked up, she saw his blue eyes looking at her, almost like a pool of clear spring water. He looked at her with such sincerity and confess.

So she felt a little blushing for no reason: "cough... well, now it's your turn to ask me a question, remember you can only ask one question, you have to think about what you want to ask."

Steve opened his mouth immediately, and at that moment, many questions popped up in his chest: What the hell is going on with her staying at Iron Man's house?What happened to her previous grievances with Superman?Why did she and Sheldon break up...

Countless questions flooded in like a flood, but a strange voice suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart, telling him: "You'd better seize the present, forget the past, and ask the most important question."

Steve closed his eyes, and when he looked at Rachel again, his eyes became very calm: "Rachel, would you like to live with me temporarily?"
