American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 76 Call Me Dad

Christine has seen many handsome men and many narcissistic people, but this is the first time she has ever seen someone say that he wears a mask because he is too handsome and is afraid of causing a car accident.

Regardless of his appearance, Christine had to admit that Xiao Xian had successfully piqued her curiosity. She really wanted to see what Xiao Xian looked like, since he dared to say such things.

Of course, this does not mean that Christine believed Xiao Xian's words. On the contrary, she became even more convinced that Chevrolet was lying to her. After all, what handsome guy would say that he is so handsome that he would cause a car accident?

Based on Christine's experience, people who say such things are usually not very good-looking, at most just average-looking. Judging from Xiao Xian's impression of her, Christine felt that Xiao Xian was probably the latter.

Besides, with Chevrolet's extensive network, she could easily find an average handsome guy, even if she couldn't find the kind of ridiculously handsome guy she was talking about. She couldn't possibly go out of her way to find a greasy guy to disgust her, could she?

"You're right." Chevrolet nodded in agreement. "Someone as handsome as you could indeed cause a car accident."

"Pfft~" Covering her mouth, Christine couldn't help but laugh out loud. How could Chevrolet play along with such an awkward performance? No wonder she's an acting coach.

"Let me introduce you. This is Xiao Xian, the one I told you about. Once he takes off his mask, you'll see I wasn't lying," Chevrolet said, leaning against Xiao Xian like a little bird.

"I'm right here, can you tone it down a bit?" Christine clenched her fists when she saw Chevrolet fall into Xiao Xian's arms right in front of her. It was so infuriating, he didn't even bother to hide from people anymore?

"Are you Christine?"

Xiao Xian asked incredulously. He remembered that in his world, Christine was quite promiscuous, constantly cheating on her boyfriends, having an ambiguous relationship with a director, and seemingly coming out as gay in the end to clear her name.

How come she quit the entertainment industry here because she refused to be subjected to unspoken rules? So many people in this world have turned evil, but she's been redeemed here?

"That's right, you know me?" Christine asked in return when she heard Xiao Xian call her name.

"The one who starred in Twilight?" Xiao Xian continued to ask. Judging from her appearance, she was indeed the actress from Twilight. It's hard to say that she was in a niche film.

"You're mistaken, but she almost got the role in that movie. It's a pity that Batwoman snatched it away in the end, otherwise Christine would have had a chance to become a big star," Chevrolet said regretfully on Christine's behalf.

"Ah, well... alright then." Because it didn't become popular, it actually preserved its original intention? It's relatively pure now? Xiao Xian nodded upon hearing this, it seems quite reasonable.

After all, not everyone is like me, remaining true to their original intentions and determined to be a scumbag even after being tempted by money.

"Wait a minute, take off your mask and let me see if you're like Chevrolet said, someone who's irresistible at first glance."

When the topic turned to painful memories, Christine's tone became unfriendly. Originally, the director, the male lead, and the original author all favored her for the role, but the investors intervened and arranged for Batwoman to be cast instead.

In the face of Wayne Enterprises, neither the director nor the author had much say. Moreover, the director wasn't a big name, and the author was even less influential. The fact that they didn't just change the name and film it was only because they wanted to trick book fans into buying tickets.

"Okay, let me make this clear beforehand: I don't date. You can have my body if you want, but don't get my feelings." Xiao Xian said in advance, as was his custom.

"Hahaha~ Hahaha~ You've amused me. Don't worry, I won't lust after your body or your feelings. You can rest assured."

Xiao Xian's words made Christine burst into laughter. She had seen narcissistic people before, but never one this narcissistic. How could Xiao Xian say such things so seriously?

"Alright then~ I hope you won't regret it." Xiao Xian shrugged. He wasn't being narcissistic; there really were a lot of people who coveted him. Xiao Xian even felt like he was Tang Sanzang's flesh.

"Don't worry, I will never regret it. If I do, I'll even call you Dad." Christine covered her mouth, almost bursting out laughing. Where did Chevrolet find such a gem?

Christine initially thought Chevrolet had cheated on her, but now it seems the infidelity might just be a side effect; Chevrolet has probably lost his mind.

Christine felt she should at least advise Chevrolet to get his head checked out; that would be more than enough.

"You said it yourself."

Calling him "Dad" is quite something, although he's been called that quite a few times. For example, Hawkeye's wife, Barbara, called him "Dad" several times the other day when Hawkeye came to see Xiao Xian while he was on a mission.

But that kind of thing relied on combat strength, while this kind is won through a bet, and the sense of accomplishment brought by the two sides is completely different.

As he spoke, Xiao Xian took off his mask and threw down his baseball cap, looking at Christine, whose beautiful eyes were wide open.

"Go ahead and shout."

"You...you...you~" Christine's voice trembled as she looked at Xiao Xian and questioned Chevrolet, "You actually kept this guy who's so incredibly handsome a secret from me and ate him all by yourself!!! What happened to sharing the good times and the bad!!! Chevrolet, I despise you!!!"

"I'm sorry, darling, Xiao Xian doesn't get to come here often enough, and if you take half of that time, it'll be even less... not nearly enough," Chevrolet apologized guiltily, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait, weren't you just angry that I was with him?"

"I never expected him to be so handsome!" Christine said, getting up from the sofa and hugging Xiao Xian's other arm. "Handsome, I'm sorry, I admit I was a little rude just now. You won't be mad at me, will you?"

"If you call me 'Dad,' then it won't happen," Xiao Xian said, watching Christine's face change in an instant. "Don't think you can get away with this."

"Daddy~ Daddy~ Daddy~" Christine called out sweetly three times in a row, then pulled on Xiao Xian's arm and said, "Don't be angry~"

"Actually, I still prefer how you were just now. Could you try to change that?"

Xiao Xian chuckled and asked, "Can superpowers like 'super charm' really bring people happiness?" Xiao Xian replied, "Not only can they, but the kind of happiness is unimaginable to most people."

"Ahem~ I'll try my best." Christine tried her best to return to her previous state, but she still looked at Xiao Xian with a lovestruck expression. She adjusted her tone and said.

"Hmm, except for the eyes, the recreation is pretty good. Chevrolet, don't touch me like that, restrain yourself."

Xiao Xian nodded as he looked at Christine, then told Chevrolet to be careful. Xiao Xian planned to spend some time with Christine first, and then they could play together later.

"I didn't move my hands around!" Chevrolet said, feeling very aggrieved.
