[Comprehensive British and American] Aliens must die

Chapter 18

Why does Lex want to acquire Planet Daily? The Lex Group has always been in the high-tech industry and has no interest in the media industry.

Is it because of him?Clark felt a secret joy in his heart.

"Mr. Kent, from now on, you are no longer an employee of the Daily Planet." Lex said indifferently.

"Lex..." Hearing Lex's distant address, the joy in Clark's heart dissipated, leaving him at a loss. Is Lex really angry?

Looking at the ugly face of the little reporter, Lex was secretly satisfied, well, the probability of Clark being tempted has increased.

"Now you should have time to accept my invitation?" Lex stood up and walked towards Clark.

Clark is helpless, this is Lex's domineering style, which makes him unable to refuse, but it also makes him feel at ease.

He didn't have the courage to reject Lex a second time, so he could only nod silently.

Seeing that Clark agreed, Lex no longer pretended to be indifferent, but showed a satisfied smile.

Seeing this, Clark also relaxed, and tentatively asked, "Then can I stay at the newspaper office?"

He still likes the profession of journalist very much.

"If you want to stay, you have to prove your worth first." Lex teased with a smile in his eyes, "Give me a massage first, you know, I can't sleep all night because of someone's rejection."

Lex sat back on the sofa, closed his eyes and waited for Clark's service.

After a while, Lex heard light footsteps gradually approaching, finally disappearing behind him, and then put his hands on his shoulders.

The warm palm gently rubbed Lex's shoulder, making him drowsy.

Clark observed Lex's expression, he carefully controlled the strength to ensure that he would not hurt Lex.He likes Lex's trust, enjoys Lex's closeness, and feels the persistence in his heart softening slowly.

Clark thought to himself, since Lex never officially stated that he wanted to be with him, maybe Lex didn't like him that much, and after a while, when Lex found out that he was boring, he would take the initiative to stay away from him. .

"Clark, do you have something to hide from me?" Lex said softly with his eyes closed.

Just when Clark was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Lex's words. Lex's voice was not loud, but it fell into Clark's ears like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, which made his palms clenched tightly.

"Hiss—" Even though he was prepared, the sudden sharp pain in his shoulder still made Lex gasp. It seemed that Clark's strength was indeed different from ordinary people, and he was not sure whether the bones in his shoulder were still intact.

"Lex!" Clark immediately let go of his hand, looked at Lex's shoulder with a pale face, and the X-sight directly penetrated Lex's clothes.

Lex's skin was already fair, and the two bluish-purple handprints on his shoulders were particularly obvious.Clark carefully looked at Lex's bones, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he subconsciously relaxed his strength.

Although no bones were injured, the two blue-purple handprints still reminded Clark that he had hurt Lex.He couldn't quite control himself at all, maybe, he shouldn't be near Lex at all, he would only hurt him.

Lex looked at Clark, the other's eyes were full of guilt, regret, and flinching.

He likes the little reporter's guilty look, but if he wants to back down, he won't allow it.

"I'm sorry, I tried too hard. I asked others to help. You have to go to the hospital immediately." Sensing Lex's gaze, Clark turned and walked out. He didn't want to see the look of fear in Lex's eyes, and he didn't dare To touch again, he can only leave.

"You stop."

Seeing the distraught look of the little reporter, Lex said helplessly that he was obviously the one who was injured, so why did Clark look more like the one being bullied.

The little reporter immediately stopped obediently.

Lex moved his shoulder slowly, the shoulder moved fairly freely, and the pain began to gradually ease, his bones should be fine.

"You did something like this and don't want to be responsible?" Lex scolded.

"I'm not, I'm sorry, I will be responsible." Clark said hurriedly, but the moment he spoke, he felt something was wrong.

"That's good, there's a medical kit over there, you can bring it here for me." Lex said without giving Clark any time to think, pointing to the storage cabinet next to him.

"...Okay." Clark agreed after a moment of hesitation. He wanted to send Lex to the hospital, but he didn't want to question Lex's decision. In the end, he still walked towards the locker.

After acquiring the Daily Planet, Lex remodeled this office, so there are many high-tech products belonging to the Lex Group.

For example, a small monitor in the medical kit can detect the severity of his shoulder injury.

Ask Clark to scan the inspection instrument over his shoulder. The result shown on it is that the bones are not injured, but the muscles are slightly damaged.

"Clark, help me apply this ointment." Lex picked out a white vial from the medical kit. The ointment inside is very effective in treating damaged skin, and can quickly reduce swelling and relieve pain.

After Clark took the medicine bottle, he saw Lex raising his hand to take off his suit. Because of his shoulder injury, Lex's movements were a little stiff, and he failed to unbutton the button after several attempts.

Clark hesitated, put down the medicine bottle, and said, "Let me help you."

His expression was calm and his tone was very firm, but there was a bit of nervousness in his eyes.

It was rare for Clark to be so proactive. Lex snickered, put down his hands, and said easily, "Okay, I have to take off my shirt too."

"Okay, okay." Clark dodged his eyes, not daring to look directly into Lex's smiling eyes.

He put his hand on the button on Lex's chest, through the light clothing, he could feel the heartbeat of the other person and the temperature of the skin on the chest, and at the same time, he found that his own heartbeat also became violent.

It was obviously a normal treatment, but the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous with Clark's actions.

After taking off the suit, there was only a pure white shirt left on Lex's upper body. Clark hesitated for a moment, and then began to unbutton it. He watched Lex's fair chest reveal inch by inch, and he tried his best to To keep your fingers from trembling.

It wasn't until the last button was undone that Clark realized he had been holding his breath.

In the end, Lex didn't take off his shirt completely, he just exposed his two shoulders, Clark looked at the two swollen blue-purple handprints, and he no longer had any charming thoughts, only regret and heartache.

"Sorry." Clark said softly.

"Then you have to remember to make it up to me." Since he was released from that mental hospital, he has never been injured again.

"Yeah." Clark nodded, he would never let Lex get hurt again.

The cool ointment was spread on the shoulders, which relieved the pain very well. Lex felt Clark's fingers brushing across the skin, and the drowsiness that had been driven away surged up again.

After Clark gently applied the ointment, he found that Lex had fallen asleep peacefully.

Gently placing Lex on the sofa, Clark stood aside, looking at Lex's peaceful sleeping face.

Lex is really young, he is almost 30 years old, and Lex has just turned 21 years old. He faded his mature appearance while sleeping, showing a youthful appearance that made Clark smile gently.

It is really a very normal thing to like such a person. If they keep a distance between them, then he will only appreciate him and admire him.

But Lex breaks the distance, so appreciation turns to admiration, admiration turns to intimacy.

Clark remembered Lex's previous question, and a look of worry flashed across his eyes. What is Lex suspecting?

Did Lex already know he was Superman?Just now Lex didn't reject himself, does this mean that he doesn't mind his identity?

No, he probably doesn't know yet, otherwise it would be impossible to be so calm.

Clark was alternately happy and sad, and his mind was in chaos.

"It's so difficult to decide, it seems that you really have something to hide from me."

Just when Clark was struggling, he suddenly heard Lex's voice.

"Cough, Lex, you're awake." Clark was startled, careful not to show a guilty expression, and said calmly, "I have nothing to hide from you."

Lex examined Clark's expression. The little reporter thought he was hiding it well, but there was still a bit of uneasiness in his eyes.

However, Lex is not going to force Clark too much, the purpose of probing has been achieved. As for whether Clark is a mutant, he doesn't really care.

Regardless of whether Clark is an ordinary person or a mutant, as long as he is Clark, he doesn't mind that the other party has some innocuous little secrets.

And the little reporter with a guilty conscience is easier to bully, so he should not expose him so early.

The little reporter is also very cute when he looks worried.

It wasn't until he had admired the guilty and apprehensive look of the little reporter that Lex said, "Do you regret what you promised me?"

"?" Clark was taken aback. Didn't Lex doubt his identity?He breathed a sigh of relief, but a little lost.

But what did he promise?Clark remembered the only thing he'd ever promised, at Lex's birthday party, he, he'd promised not to let anyone near him again.

"I didn't, and I won't regret it." Clark said seriously.

"Then I'm looking forward to your performance." Lex was slightly taken aback, then said with a smile.

Clark saw the little smile in Lex's eyes, and finally ran away.

"I, I still have work, I'm leaving first, you have a good rest."

"It seems that the Daily Planet needs to recruit more people. If you are too busy, it will delay a lot of things." Lex said with a smile as he watched Clark leave in a hurry.

And hearing Lex's words, Clark's pace quickened a bit.

After Clark left, Lex curled his lips silently, he didn't miss the liking and love in Clark's eyes just now.

The little reporter really liked him, but for some reason he was avoiding these emotions. He didn't want to expose Clark's secret, and he didn't allow Clark to keep running away.

What method should be used to break the shell of the little reporter?
