Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Chapter 56 Anne’s Thoughts

As soon as the girl finished taking a shower, she rushed over to have dinner.

Those who know are having dinner, but those who don’t know may think Kevin has evil intentions.

But then I thought about it, Anne was not living alone now, and Kimiko was still staying at Anne's house. Even if Kevin really wanted to do something, he had to pay attention to Kimiko's eyes.

Furthermore, Kevin really came here to have a meal, and he didn’t come in with dirty thoughts. Annie didn’t say anything either.

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

As soon as he entered the room, Kevin heard Annie say to him:
"Because I didn't expect you to come over, so I didn't prepare much... What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Whatever, just eat whatever you have."

The purpose of Kevin's visit was just to get skill points from Kimiko, and eating a meal was just a more appropriate reason, so even if he was ordering takeout, it didn't matter to Kevin.

"Um……"

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

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

"Okay, you are the host and I am the guest, I will listen to you."

Kevin said it didn't matter.

After setting the dinner recipe, Annie nodded slightly and turned to the kitchen to get busy.

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

The kitchen is connected to the living room. There is only a platform about one meter high in the middle, and there is no obstruction other than that.

Sitting here, Kevin can see Annie busy, and from Annie's side, she can also see the living room where Kevin is.

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

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

Kevin also felt that perhaps he was too rude to do so.

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

"Well, I just thought about it, why don't we order some pizza."

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

Annie asked amusedly while making preparations.

Kevin looked at Anne who had put on her apron, then looked at her hair without untying her headscarf, and said:

"Well, the main reason is that you just washed your hair..."

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

Annie kept moving her hands, looking for topics and asked:

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

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

Kevin didn't mention Shockwave 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, great hero."

Annie had no doubts, and she didn't ask any more questions. She smiled and joked with Kevin.

Kevin waved helplessly:

"What a great hero, I just... met him by chance."

Really just for the skill points.

But it’s impossible for Kevin to tell Annie about skill points.

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

She suddenly turned around and said to Kevin seriously:
"Whether it's a coincidence or something else, it's a fact that you saved those people, and for that alone you can be called a hero."

"Really." But Kevin had a different idea: "So do you think the people of the motherland and the locomotive are also such heroes?"

"They are different!"

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

Kevin whispered.

Annie 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 reality?

"I don't think these can be lumped together."

Annie took 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 Annie's mind had always been perfect.

Although Kevin seems a bit lazy in the eyes of others, he always fishes for trouble at work, and is always afraid of trouble and does not want to get involved in troublesome things.

But in fact, when someone is in trouble, Kevin will choose to step forward and help.

This was the case with the group of human trafficking criminals we met on the sea last time, and the same was the case with Anne's request to save Kimiko later.

The same is true now.

He himself always said that he was not the hero Anne imagined. He might have some flaws and minor flaws in his character, but in Anne's eyes, he was a hero. Once you have a preconceived idea, no matter what's wrong with Kevin, as long as it's not too extreme, Anne thinks it's normal.

This is also the reason why Anne has a good impression of him.

At this moment when Team Seven is almost full of assholes, Kevin's little problems are nothing in Annie's eyes.

So Kevin is different from the Motherland and Locomotive, and different from those superheroes who have lost their sacred aura.

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

Kevin didn't know that Annie's inner thoughts were so complicated. If Annie didn't tell him, he wouldn't know.

Kevin just felt that if he continued to talk about this topic, he was afraid that it would turn into a debate between pros and cons, so he quickly changed the topic and said:
"Um, by the way, how are you preparing for Ezekiel's Faith Expo?"

The topic turned to business, Anne gathered her mood, went back to work on dinner, and replied in passing:

"It's still the same. I've only met Ekiel a few times when I was a kid, and I'm not really familiar with him, so apart from our work interactions, we don't communicate much in private, and..."

When Annie said this, her expression suddenly became very strange:
"He seems to be trying to distance himself from me. Is it my imagination?"

At work, Ejiexi would always keep an appropriate distance from Anne, although Anne could understand that this was Ejiexi's etiquette to maintain his grace.

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

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

Only then did he realize that he had forgotten to tell Anne something that was not crucial but very interesting.

"Pfft, I almost forgot to tell you that he is gay."

"what?"

boom.

The kitchen knife Annie was preparing to cut into the chicken steak suddenly lost its strength and struck it on the cutting board. Her expression was full of astonishment and disbelief.

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

"Is he...gay? Let me ask first, by gay, you should not be referring to..."

"Yes, you got it right. That's what I meant. He is gay. I was lucky enough to see him hugging two boys in a bar."

Kevin was talking about the first time Shenhai went to the superhuman bar. At that time, Shenhai had met Ejiesi, but the two had little communication.

And the deep sea didn’t go much after that.

But Ekihisi used his rubber hands to wrap around the two handsome boys like ropes, stroking the key parts of their bodies. This scene left a deep impression on Shenhai.

For the first time, he knew that superpowers could be used in this way.

"Ah...ha..."

Annie turned around in a daze and continued cooking dinner.

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

But...Ezekiel was different.

On the surface, this guy is a staunch believer in Christianity and a traditional believer. He is quite repulsive to same-sex romance and unholy love before marriage.

On the surface, he firmly opposed it, but in private, he was messing around.

At this moment, Anne's faith in God and Jesus was once again shaken. If the 'spokespersons' chosen by God were all this kind of guy, then would God be blind...

Realizing that she had some disrespectful thoughts, Anne quickly shook her head.

In short, regardless of whether the old man is blind or not, I understand the reason why Jiexi refuses to have a good relationship with Anne.

The co-author doesn't like women at all.

"Wait."

After Ezekiel finished talking about it, Anne reacted:

"You mean the bar? Have you been to the bar that Ekielzei hangs out at?"

"Well... I only went there once in a while, and then I stopped going. That bar was actually boring and not interesting."

Kevin didn't know why, but as soon as he saw Annie's suspicious eyes, he immediately started to explain.

But Annie didn't think he had misunderstood anything. She just said strangely:
"I'm not accusing you of anything. I just want to say that since you have a more convenient way to contact him, why didn't you tell him earlier? It was a waste of half a month..."

"..."

Anne's words were not sharp, she just expressed doubts from her own point of view.

But Kevin was silent for a moment.

He was silent for a long time without speaking.

Yes, I obviously know the bar that Ekielxi often goes to, and I also know when Ekielxi will go there, so why didn’t I tell Annie about this earlier...
