American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 319 Massage

After their conversation, Deadpool and Vanessa returned to the restaurant. Deadpool looked utterly helpless, while Vanessa beamed with joy. As she entered the restaurant, she winked at Xiao Xian, indicating that everything was settled.

After the two sat down, Vanessa continued to feed Xiao Xian. She picked up a piece of golden-brown fried chicken, smiled, and held it to Xiao Xian's lips: "Xiao Xian, try this. I made it especially for you."

Xiao Xian smiled and accepted Vanessa's feeding.

Deadpool watched this scene, and his jealousy resurfaced. He lowered his head and silently ate his meal, but his eyes remained fixed on Vanessa's every move.

Vanessa seemed oblivious to Deadpool's mood, continuing to attentively care for Xiao Xian. She scooped up another spoonful of soup and gently offered it to Xiao Xian: "You must be thirsty from the fried chicken, have some more soup."

Xiao Xian took a sip of the soup and nodded in satisfaction: "It's really delicious."

As Deadpool listened to these praises, his helplessness and jealousy grew stronger. He gripped his chopsticks tightly, trying hard to suppress his anger and dissatisfaction, and could only sulk silently.

Xiao Xian noticed Deadpool's expression, smiled slightly, and teased, "Wade, why do you look so long-faced? Are you unhappy?"

Deadpool was a little embarrassed by Xiao Xian's words. He forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. I'm just still a little shaken by the attack this afternoon."

Vanessa immediately chimed in, saying gratefully, "Speaking of which, we really owe a debt to Xiao Xian. Otherwise, we'd probably be finished today." She turned to Deadpool, her tone carrying a hint of suggestion, "Wade, you should thank Xiao Xian again."

Deadpool, though unwilling, had no choice but to comply. He forced a smile and said to Xiao Xian, "Yes, Xiao Xian, thank you for saving me today."

Xiao Xian waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, I'm always happy to help others."

Vanessa smiled and said to Xiao Xian, "Xiao Xian, do you have any plans for tonight? Why don't you stay at our place? We can go to the film set together tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Deadpool's heart tightened, and he was about to speak up to stop her, but seeing Vanessa glare at him, he had no choice but to swallow his words and silently lower his head to eat.

Xiao Xian smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have anything to do tonight."

Vanessa smiled happily: "That's great! We can have a good talk about the movie now."

Deadpool felt a wave of helplessness and despair, but could only manage a forced smile: "Yes, Xiao Xian, stay here."

After dinner, Deadpool volunteered to wash the dishes, his mind still filled with complex emotions. He stood in front of the sink, trying to calm himself down.

At that moment, Xiao Xian stood at the door, stretching, and said, "I'm planning to go for a run. Vanessa and Wade, do you want to come along?"

Vanessa readily agreed, saying with a smile, "I'll go, but Wade has to do the dishes, so he probably won't be able to go."

Upon hearing this, Deadpool quickly put down the bowl in his hand and untied his apron: "I can wash it when I get back."

Vanessa glared at Deadpool, who immediately retied his apron, picked up his bowl, and forced a smile, saying, "I've thought about it carefully, and I've decided not to go. You guys go ahead."

Xiao Xian took off his jacket, revealing a short-sleeved shirt and well-developed muscles underneath, then put on a mask and prepared to run. Deadpool looked at his strong physique and couldn't help but feel a sense of helpless admiration.

Vanessa asked Xiao Xian to wait for her a moment, then turned around and went back to the bedroom to change into a tight-fitting, trendy workout outfit.

Vanessa wore a black sports vest that accentuated her full bust and slender waist, revealing her toned abs. She paired it with high-waisted athletic shorts, perfectly showcasing her long legs and shapely buttocks.

Vanessa's hair was casually tied into a ponytail, adding a touch of youthful energy. Vanessa walked out of the bedroom with elegant movements, every step exuding confidence and charm, leaving Deadpool staring wide-eyed.

Vanessa walked up to Xiao Xian and deliberately stroked his biceps gently with her hand, her voice soft and seductive: "Xiao Xian, you have such a great body."

Xiao Xian smiled and replied, "Vanessa, you have a great figure too."

Vanessa giggled, a hint of teasing in her voice: "Mine is still far from good. If you don't believe me, feel my biceps yourself." As she spoke, she raised her fair arm, displaying her taut muscle lines.

Xiao Xian hesitated for a moment, then turned to Deadpool: "This isn't a good idea, your husband is right here."

Vanessa pouted slightly, a hint of slyness in her eyes: "What's the big deal? It's just touching my biceps, it's not like I'm cheating."

Deadpool sensed the threat in Vanessa's words and understood that she was referring to his infidelity. He realized that Vanessa was doing all this to punish him, so Deadpool could only nod reluctantly: "Um...it's okay."

Xiao Xian then reached out and gently touched Vanessa's arm, feeling the smoothness of her skin, and praised, "Very firm, Vanessa."

Deadpool watched this scene, his jealousy growing stronger, but he was helpless. He silently washed the dishes, his eyes constantly watching Vanessa and Xiao Xian's every move.

Vanessa seemed to enjoy the interaction. She then said to Xiao Xian, "Feel my abs and see if I've improved." After saying that, she slightly lifted her shirt, revealing her barely visible abs.

Xiao Xian glanced at Deadpool, and seeing that he didn't object, he gently stroked Vanessa's abs, his voice deep and full of admiration: "Very stylish, Vanessa."

Deadpool watched as Xiao Xian touched Vanessa's abs, his jealousy burning like flames, but he could only suppress it and try to appear calm.

Vanessa smiled contentedly, a hint of smugness flashing in her eyes. "Alright, let's go for a run." She turned to Deadpool, a provocative glint in her eyes, and said, "Do your best."

Deadpool stood by the window, watching Xiao Xian and Vanessa run away into the night. Their intimate manner and cheerful conversation filled Deadpool with mixed emotions—regret for his infidelity, as well as deep jealousy and anger.

However, what Deadpool didn't know was that none of this would have happened if he hadn't taken the job to assassinate Bin.

After watching Xiao Xian and Vanessa walk away, Deadpool returned to the kitchen to continue washing the dishes. But the more he washed, the heavier his worries became. He kept thinking about Vanessa and Xiao Xian's interaction, and his anxiety grew.

Finally, Deadpool finished washing the dishes, but his unease had reached an unbearable level. He picked up his phone and dialed Vanessa's number. The phone rang for a while before Vanessa answered, her voice broken and panting: "Wade... what's up?"

Deadpool felt increasingly uneasy upon hearing Vanessa's voice, and tried his best to keep his voice steady: "I just wanted to ask when you're coming back so I could prepare hot water for you to take a bath in advance."

Vanessa's voice was slightly hurried: "We still have some time. We'll let you know before we get back." With that, she quickly hung up the phone.

Vanessa's voice made Deadpool very uneasy. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but call back. The phone rang for half a minute before Vanessa answered, her tone tinged with impatience: "Wade, why are you calling again? What's up?"

Deadpool heard her voice, still heavy with breaths, as if she were engaged in strenuous activity. His suspicions grew stronger, but he tried to sound concerned: "It's nothing, I just felt something was off about your voice, and I was a little worried about you."

Vanessa sounded a little angry: "I was just running, so I'm out of breath. Wade, don't you believe me?"

Deadpool quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Vanessa, I believe you. I was just too worried."

Vanessa sighed, her tone softening slightly. "Okay, Wade, don't worry. I'll be back in a bit." With that, she hung up.

Deadpool stood in the kitchen, phone still in his hand, his unease unabated by Vanessa's explanation.

Deadpool, after struggling and agonizing, finally saw Xiao Xian and Vanessa return, both drenched in sweat. Vanessa was carrying a bag. Deadpool quickly stepped forward, forcing a smile: "I've already filled the bathtub with hot water, Vanessa, go take a bath."

Vanessa turned to Xiao Xian, looking at him ingratiatingly, "Xiao Xian saved our lives today, he should go wash first."

Deadpool then pretended to just remember and hurriedly said, "Oh, right, there are no towels or changes of clothes for Xiao Xian at home."

Vanessa lifted the bag in her hand and said smugly, "It's okay, I bought it beforehand on my run."

Vanessa then took out men's underwear and towels from the bag without any hesitation, and went into the bathroom.

A moment later, Vanessa came out of the bathroom and said to Xiao Xian, "Xiao Xian, I've put it all out for you. Go take a shower."

Xiao Xian nodded, smiled, walked into the bathroom, and closed the door.

Deadpool stared at the closed bathroom door, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He was just about to muster the courage to talk to Vanessa about their walk when Vanessa handed him her phone and said coldly, "These are photos Xiao Xian gave me of our chat while we were running."

Deadpool took the phone, feeling suspicious and uneasy. He opened it and found a series of photos documenting his time at foot baths, massage parlors, and spas.

In the photos, the women giving Deadpool massages and washing his feet are all young and beautiful. In many of the photos, Deadpool is seen taking advantage of them, touching them inappropriately.

Each photo clearly showed Deadpool's actions; his face was pale, and his phone trembled slightly: "Vanessa, these photos..."

Vanessa looked at him coldly, her eyes flashing with anger and disappointment: "Wade, you seem to be having a great time getting a massage in the photos."

Deadpool opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but faced with these overwhelming photographic evidence, he was speechless. He lowered his head in anguish, his voice trembling: "Vanessa, I... I can explain."

Vanessa sneered, interrupting him: "Explain? What else do you have to explain? It seems you don't just go out for a few times with Kingpin; you often go out for a taste of meat too."

Deadpool looked at the photos and tried to argue, "Vanessa, I just went for a massage, nothing more. It was just a massage, nothing serious, it's not betrayal, much less cheating."

Vanessa sneered, staring coldly at Deadpool: "Oh? So, it's not a big deal for me to give Xiao Xian a massage then?"

Deadpool was speechless for a moment, his face flushed, unable to refute. Seeing this, Vanessa stood up and said, "Alright, in that case, I'll go change my clothes and then go give Xiao Xian a massage."

Deadpool watched Vanessa's retreating figure, opened his mouth as if to stop her, but ultimately couldn't utter a word. His heart was filled with anxiety and unease.

A moment later, Vanessa emerged in a black silk nightgown. The nightgown clung to her body, outlining her graceful curves, and the smooth black silk shimmered alluringly under the light. Her shoulders were slightly bare, the neckline low, and the curves of her chest were faintly visible.

Vanessa deliberately twirled in front of Deadpool, smiling and showing off her figure, before gracefully walking towards the bathroom.

Deadpool watched her retreating figure, a wave of pain and helplessness washing over him. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain. The bathroom door closed softly, and Deadpool heard Vanessa's voice from inside: "Xiao Xian, let me give you a massage, relax a bit."

Every word was like a sharp blade, piercing Deadpool's heart. Deadpool was filled with anger and jealousy, but even more so with regret and pain for his actions. He realized that his deeds had deeply hurt Vanessa, and her reaction was nothing more than a response to his betrayal.

Vanessa gently massaged Xiao Xian in the bathroom, her hands roaming over his shoulders, gentle yet firm. "Xiao Xian, is this pressure appropriate?" she asked softly.

Xiao Xian closed his eyes, enjoying the comfort of the massage, and said with a smile, "It's perfect, Vanessa. Your technique is superb."

Deadpool outside listened to these words, his heart breaking. He clenched his fists, his palms aching from his nails, but he was powerless to stop it all from happening.

Suddenly, Deadpool heard Xiao Xian's voice: "Sorry, Vanessa, I accidentally got your clothes wet."

Upon hearing this, Deadpool was startled. If Vanessa's clothes got wet, wouldn't that mean...?

However, Vanessa's voice was light and cheerful: "It's alright."

Xiao Xian asked with concern, "You'll easily catch a cold like that. Are you tired from running?"

Vanessa sighed softly, "I am indeed a little tired."

Xiao Xian's voice rang out again: "I'm almost done washing, you can wash it now."

Deadpool breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. But then he heard Xiao Xian continue, "As a reward for the massage you just gave me, I'll give you a massage from now on."

Upon hearing this, Deadpool immediately shouted, "No way!"

The bathroom fell silent instantly; Deadpool could hear his own heart pounding in his ears. A moment later, Xiao Xian's voice came through: "Since your husband doesn't agree, then forget it."

Vanessa said gently to Xiao Xian, "Xiao Xian, wait a moment."

Then, Vanessa said coldly to Deadpool, "Wade, say that again, I didn't hear you."

Deadpool felt a tightness in his throat, his voice dry: "I...I have no objection."

Xiao Xian asked from inside, "You have absolutely no objections to anything?"

Deadpool suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "I have no objection to Xiao Xian giving Vanessa a massage."

Vanessa nodded in satisfaction and turned to Xiao Xian: "You heard that, right? Wade has no objections."

Xiao Xian smiled, his voice full of concern: "Alright then, Vanessa, let me help you relax."

Deadpool stood blankly outside the bathroom, listening to the sounds coming from inside, his heart filled with a mixture of pain and anger, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.
