American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 320 Seeking External Assistance

Deadpool waited anxiously outside, his mind churning with complex emotions. He glanced towards the bathroom every now and then, his heart filled with endless anxiety and pain. Finally, the bathroom door opened, and Vanessa and Xiao Xian walked out together.

Vanessa, wearing her black silk nightgown and with her hair still wet, looked exceptionally sexy and alluring. She looked at Deadpool and said calmly, "Xiao Xian and I used the bathwater, and it felt dirty, so I drained it. You can refill it yourself."

Deadpool paused for a moment, his unease growing stronger, but he could only nod helplessly, forcing back the bitterness in his heart: "Okay, I understand."

Vanessa turned to look at Xiao Xian and said gently, "Xiao Xian, you've had a hard day. Get some rest."

Xiao Xian smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Vanessa. You should get some rest too."

Vanessa smiled slightly, then turned and walked towards the bedroom. Xiao Xian glanced at Deadpool and gently patted his shoulder: "Your wife's massage skills are amazing."

Deadpool stared blankly at the man who had turned around, his unease growing stronger, but he could only nod helplessly, forcing back the bitterness in his heart: "Okay, I understand."

Vanessa turned to look at Xiao Xian and said gently, "Xiao Xian, you've had a hard day. Get some rest."

Xiao Xian smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Vanessa. You should get some rest too."

Vanessa smiled slightly, then turned and walked towards the bedroom. Xiao Xian glanced at Deadpool and gently patted his shoulder: "Get some rest, Wade."

Deadpool glanced at Vanessa, who was looking back at him, forced a smile, and nodded: "You flatter me."

Xiao Xian went into the guest room and closed the door.

Deadpool stood there, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

Deadpool walked to the bathroom, ran the water again, his heart filled with endless regret and pain. He should have known better than to go to the foot massage parlor, much less Kingpin's shop.

After taking a shower, Deadpool overheard some conversation coming from Xiao Xian's guest room. His heart raced, and he quietly approached the door, pressing his ear against it to listen.

"Xiao Xian, you're really handsome and strong, much stronger than my husband." This was Vanessa's voice, tinged with amusement and teasing.

Deadpool felt as if he'd been struck by a hammer, a sharp pain shooting through his chest. A flood of thoughts raced through his mind: Vanessa was definitely cheating on him.

If it were the old Deadpool, he would definitely choose to divorce after being cheated on, but this Deadpool realizes that his love for Vanessa is enough for him to forgive her.

Furthermore, Deadpool believes that catching Vanessa cheating will offset his own infidelity, preventing Vanessa from punishing him for it.

The room was dimly lit, and Vanessa and Xiao Xian sat on the edge of the bed, dressed neatly. Vanessa wore her black silk nightgown, which, while sexy and alluring, was clearly not disheveled.

Xiao Xian was wearing a simple white T-shirt and sweatpants. The two of them each held a script and were seriously going over their lines.

Vanessa looked up at Deadpool in surprise: "What are you doing in here?"

Deadpool looked at the two people holding scripts, realized he had misunderstood, and his face turned awkward as he struggled to speak: "What are you two doing?"

Vanessa brandished the script in her hand, a hint of displeasure in her voice: "Isn't it obvious? We're rehearsing our lines. What were you doing barging in like that? You're disrupting our rehearsal!"

Deadpool blushed and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I... I was just worried about you guys."

Vanessa looked at him coldly, her tone clearly showing displeasure: "Worried about us? I think you doubt me! You're not clean yourself, so you always assume others are just like you! If you trespass again, don't blame me for being ruthless, understand?"

Deadpool lowered his head, feeling incredibly ashamed and helpless, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I promise I will never trespass again."

Vanessa's eyes still held a hint of anger, but she nodded: "I hope you keep your word."

Deadpool apologized again, then slowly retreated and closed the door.

Back in his bedroom, Deadpool helplessly listened to the sounds coming from the next room. Vanessa and Xiao Xian's conversation clearly reached his ears. The entire scene consisted of Vanessa praising Xiao Xian's strength and her husband's incompetence and cowardice.

"Xiao Xian, you are really strong, much stronger than my incompetent husband."

"Vanessa, I just did my best. Your husband... well, maybe he was just unlucky."

Deadpool, indignant, muttered under his breath, "This script is going to be a disaster. It's an insult to the audience's intelligence."

Time ticked by, and Deadpool waited anxiously. He tossed and turned in bed until after 1 a.m. when Vanessa finally opened the door and returned to the room.

Upon seeing Vanessa return, Deadpool rushed forward, attempting to get intimate, but Vanessa ruthlessly pushed him away.

Vanessa said angrily, "Who knows what kind of viruses those shady women you've been with might have? Just seeing you makes me sick. Until I forgive you and you get a full medical checkup, we're going to sleep in separate rooms."

Deadpool froze, his face filled with pain and regret: "Vanessa, I..."

Vanessa didn't give him a chance to explain, grabbed a few things, and ran to another guest room.

The night passed with Deadpool tormented by inner turmoil, regret, and helplessness. Each time he turned around, he felt the emptiness of Vanessa's warmth on the bed, and his loneliness intensified.

The next morning, Deadpool rubbed his tired eyes as he left his bedroom, hearing cheerful laughter coming from the dining room. He entered the dining room, and the scene before him made his heart sink.

Vanessa sat at the dining table, dressed in an elegant business suit. A black stockings skirt accentuated her long legs, and a white blouse clung to her upper body, making her appear exceptionally poised and beautiful. Her hair was neatly combed, and she wore light makeup, looking radiant and full of energy.

Vanessa was affectionately feeding Xiao Xian breakfast. She cut a slice of toast, dipped it lightly in jam, and carefully held it to Xiao Xian's lips. Xiao Xian smiled and opened his mouth to take it, and Vanessa smiled back at him, their interaction appearing exceptionally intimate.

Deadpool stood at the restaurant entrance, a surge of uncontrollable bitterness and jealousy welling up inside him.

Deadpool walked to the dining table, looked around, and noticed that his breakfast wasn't on it. He asked helplessly, "Honey, did you make me breakfast?"

Vanessa rolled her eyes and replied coldly, "If you want breakfast, make it yourself."

Deadpool, looking at the lavish breakfast on Xiao Xian's plate—clearly the same breakfast—jeally retorted, "Didn't you make Xiao Xian's breakfast? Why didn't you make me one too?"

Vanessa looked at him coldly, her tone clearly sarcastic: "Think about what you've done, and you expect me to make you breakfast? I'm already being merciful by not kicking you out of the house."

Upon hearing this, Deadpool realized he was indeed in the wrong, lowered his head, and said with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Fine, I'll do it myself."

Deadpool went into the kitchen and began preparing breakfast for himself. Every time he turned around, he saw Vanessa interacting intimately with Xiao Xian. Vanessa's outfit today made her even more charming; the black stockings and short skirt accentuated her long legs, while the white shirt and straight-cut suit outlined her beautiful figure.

Deadpool was filled with bitterness and jealousy; he felt ignored and rejected. This scene pained him, but also filled him with helplessness and self-blame.

Deadpool silently made his breakfast, pondering how to win Vanessa back, and before Xiao Xian could successfully steal her away.

If it were anyone else, Deadpool would have assassinated him without hesitation, but this was Xiao Xian, one of the most powerful superheroes. Deadpool knew he was no match for Xiao Xian, and even if he were lucky enough to get a headshot, Xiao Xian wouldn't be able to kill him.

Due to his poor cooking skills, Deadpool only managed to fry a burnt egg and some bacon. Holding this barely edible breakfast, Deadpool silently walked to the table, sat down, and casually ate a few bites of his burnt breakfast, swallowing the unpalatable food with difficulty.

By this time, Xiao Xian and Vanessa had almost finished their breakfast. They stood up together, and Xiao Xian looked at Deadpool and said gently, "Next, I'm going to take Vanessa to the set to familiarize her with the plot. Would you like to come along?"

Deadpool initially wanted to agree, but considering the large number of people on set, he figured Xiao Xian and Vanessa couldn't really do anything. He decided to take this opportunity to find outside help, try to win back Vanessa's heart, and prevent Xiao Xian from poaching her. So Deadpool asked, "Is today the official start of filming, or is it just a preview?"

Xiao Xian smiled and replied, "I'm just going to take a look today."

Deadpool nodded, forcing a smile: "Then I won't go. After all, I'm just a supporting character, and I have other things to do today."

Upon hearing this, Vanessa said directly to Xiao Xian, "Then let's go." As she spoke, she deliberately took Xiao Xian's arm in front of Deadpool, leaned gently against him, and walked out intimately.

Deadpool watched Vanessa take the initiative, feeling both jealous and helpless, but he also knew this was Vanessa's punishment for his infidelity. He could only stand there silently, watching them leave, his heart filled with bitterness and envy.

Deadpool left home anxiously and headed to the X-Men Academy. He needed someone to talk to and help him. Upon arriving at the academy, he went straight to the training ground where Bullet and Yukio were. The two were training when they saw Deadpool approaching with a troubled expression, and they stopped what they were doing and looked at him with concern.

"Hi, Wade!" Yukio greeted Deadpool in a friendly manner.

"Hi, Yukio!" Deadpool greeted Yukio in a friendly manner. He had actually been eyeing Yukio for a long time, but unfortunately, although she was very nice to him, she had always rejected Deadpool's advances.

Deadpool even considered using unconventional methods to take down Yukio, but considering that he couldn't defeat the couple, Bullet and Yukio, he ultimately decided against it.

Of course, Deadpool's heart is currently only filled with love for Vanessa, and he has no feelings for Yukio.

"Deadpool, what's wrong with you?" Bullet Head asked, not liking this guy who was always flirting with her girlfriend. But for Yukio's sake, Bullet Head couldn't just kick him out.

Deadpool sighed, looked up at them, his eyes filled with helplessness and regret: "I messed up. Vanessa caught me cheating, and now she's deliberately being very intimate with another man as punishment."

Yukio frowned, her tone tinged with reproach: "Deadpool, how could you cheat on me? Vanessa was so good to you."

Deadpool lowered his head, his face full of remorse: "I know I was wrong. I deeply regret it now and only want to win Vanessa back. Can you give me some advice?"

Yukio glanced at Deadpool. Although she condemned Deadpool's behavior, she decided to help him out of consideration for their past friendship and the gifts Deadpool had given her.

"First, you should sincerely apologize and buy Vanessa some gifts she would like," Yukio suggested.

Deadpool pulled a small notebook from his pocket and began to write seriously: "Buying gifts, hmm, I've got that. But I've tried a sincere apology, and it didn't work."

Yukio nodded and continued, "You can apologize with a gift; choose something expensive and good to show your sincerity."

"I've got it." Deadpool wrote it down, then looked up, his face full of worry. "But I'm very worried that Vanessa will have a relationship with that man. She's doing this to get revenge on me. What should I do?"

Yukio sighed and said, "That's certainly possible. After all, a woman is capable of anything to get revenge on you."

Bullet Head looked at Deadpool and said, "If you're really worried, why not strike first and physically take care of that man? Wouldn't that solve the problem? You can't possibly not think of such a simple method, can you?"

Deadpool shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "I could have thought of that too, but the problem is that the man Vanessa is having an affair with is Xiao Xian."

Upon hearing this, Xuexu paused for a moment, then looked at Deadpool and said, "Are you sure it's Xiao Xian, the most handsome man in the world?"

Deadpool nodded, replying with a wry smile, "Yes, it's him. I'm absolutely certain, I've already made up my mind. He stayed at my house last night, and Vanessa even gave him a massage."

Upon hearing this, Yukio's eyes flashed with envy, and she exclaimed, "Really? Vanessa's luck is just too good!"

Deadpool and Bullet Head looked at Xuexu with envy and both showed displeasure. Deadpool frowned and said to Xuexu, "Vanessa is my wife, not Xiao Xian's wife. She's giving Xiao Xian a massage, do you know what that means? And she's giving him a massage while he's taking a shower."

"That means you've been cuckolded," Bullethead interjected with a sneer.

"Not yet, but this is dangerous." Deadpool sighed helplessly, then looked at Bullet Head with a mocking tone and said, "But I think you're about to get cuckolded."
