Christine lowered her head and said, "Aren't we moving a little too fast?"

Adam was silent for a moment, then laughed and said, "Yeah, that's true, it is a bit fast. Okay, I'll take you back."

Christine was startled by Adam's words and exclaimed, "No! It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just..."

She didn't know how she felt about Adam. She definitely liked him to some extent, after all, she had been observing him for the past few days, and he had already entered her heart. When she heard Adam say that he would take her home, she thought that Adam was angry, so she quickly spoke up.

Adam could roughly guess Christine's feelings and said with a smile, "Hehe, silly girl, don't worry, I'm not angry, and I won't abandon you."

Hearing Adam's words, Christine gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not ready yet, but I can prove that I've fallen in love with you!"

Adam shook his head and said, "Hehe, no need. We were just a little impulsive because of the atmosphere. There's no rush!"

Although he was indeed provoked, since the other party was somewhat resistant, Adam certainly wouldn't force the issue or get angry. If he didn't even have this much self-control, what kind of superhero would he be? He might as well just be a supervillain.

Christine didn't answer, but proved herself with her actions. She held Adam down, bent down to unchain him, and took out the angry little Adam. She paused, seemingly frightened by his ferocious appearance. Just as Adam was about to refuse, Christine gave him a charming look and began to gently suck and swallow, slowly extinguishing his anger.

--------------------------------------

Let's rewind to two days ago, at the Washington, D.C. Capitol.

A special discussion is underway here. As a representative of the mutant doves, Jean Grey, the Phoenix, dressed in an office lady outfit and wearing glasses, stands in the center of the conference room with an air of scholarly elegance, explaining some common knowledge about mutants to the members of Congress.

Jean Grey showed the council members a short video and then explained, "We humans have a hidden gene in our genes, which we call the X gene. This gene is usually dormant, and only a few people activate it by chance. This is called mutant awakening, or superpower awakening. Therefore, we can consider mutants not to exist independently of humans, but to be a result of human evolution!"

One member of parliament, intrigued, asked, "Dr. Jean, excuse me, does what you're saying mean that all of us here could potentially become mutants?"

Jean Grey smiled and said, "Yes, everyone here could potentially become a mutant's parent, haha, because you've all missed the optimal time for awakening. Our observations have shown that the best time for mutants to awaken is during childhood, because this is when external influences on us are greatest, such as stimulation or menstrual development."

A silver-haired senator stood up and said sarcastically, "Thank you for your excellent explanation, Ms. Grey, it was very educational. However, you seem to have strayed from the point. In short! Are mutants dangerous?"

Jean Grey looked somewhat helpless, but still smiled and said, "That's not a good question, Congressman Kelly. Driving can also be dangerous..."

Congressman Kelly scoffed and said, "That's why we get our driver's licenses!"

Jean Grey said calmly, "However, there is no license to survive! Gentlemen, you all advocate for the public disclosure of mutant identities, but have you considered the consequences? This could cause panic, conflict, or even violent attacks. Therefore, I request Congress to rescind and stop the mandatory disclosure of mutant identities!"

At that moment, one of Congressman Kelly's men brought him some information, which gave him even more confidence. He sarcastically remarked, "Reveal their identities? Humph, why would they bother to hide? What are they planning to do, hiding like this?"

Jean Grey was already a little angry, but after calming herself down, she explained, "They weren't hiding. They concealed their identities simply because they didn't want to be ostracized and discriminated against by ordinary humans, that's all!"

Representative Kelly stood up, looking at the documents in his hand, and said, "I know where they're hiding. Hmph, listen to this. This contains information on mutants hiding in America. There's a girl who can walk through walls. What if she goes to a bank? What if she goes to your home? And there's someone who can create fire. How can we let someone like that go to school with our children? We have the right to keep them away from our children!"

Representative Kelly's words garnered even more support, and everyone applauded.

Congressman Kelly grinned triumphantly and declared, “Gentlemen! The fact is, mutants really do exist. They are hiding among us. We should find them, study their abilities, understand them completely, and bring this threat under control!”

Most of the people applauded to show their support for Senator Kelly, much to the disappointment of Jean Grey, who was standing in the center, and Professor X, who was standing in the crowd. Just then, Professor X spotted a familiar figure in the crowd, frowned, and pushed his wheelchair to follow.

On the second floor, in his office, Nick Fury slammed his fist on the table angrily, saying, "Ha! 'Study their abilities, thoroughly understand them, and control the threat!' What ambition, what a good idea! Ah, doesn't this idiot know that we gave him the mutant data to discourage him? Does this guy think he can deal with these troublesome mutants with just ordinary soldiers? Damn it, who contacted this guy? Tell him to report directly to the African branch when he gets back!"

Agent Hill, standing beside him, frowned and said, "Our people have just discovered Magneto's whereabouts. He's also attending this meeting. It seems they're preparing to make their move."

Nick Fury rubbed his forehead, looking a bit of a headache, and asked, "Are our men alright?"

Agent Hill shook his head and said, "No, Professor X happened to be here too, and he helped us."

Nick Fury said, "Alright, you continue to maintain good relations with Professor X and the others. We will fully support the X-Men this time. I need to find an opportunity to meet with the President again. We can't let these idiots below cause things to escalate. We are no match for mutants yet!"

Agent Hill nodded and said, "Understood!"

Nick Fury nodded and asked, "Have you found Shadow of the Beholder?"

Hill shook his head and said, "No, it's been almost a week. Shadow has only appeared occasionally when he really needs help. Otherwise, he hasn't been fooled. Now we can confirm that their technological capabilities are no weaker than ours, S.H.I.E.L.D."

Nick Fury sighed and said, "These are truly turbulent times! Never mind, you go and follow up on the Xavier's plans and the mutants' affairs. It seems another plan needs to be brought forward as well!"

Hill was taken aback and said, "Didn't Mr. Howard say that it was impossible to succeed now?"

Nick Fury said, "We can't wait any longer! We can accept some losses, and I've already found the right people. General Ross has a few special people on his side who are close to cracking that thing. It's time for us to intervene!"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Ready to Fall in Love

Ahem, just kidding! Happy Singles' Day everyone, and happy spending!!! Singles, don't bother joining in, wait until 1111 to celebrate!

=======================================

American Academy X

Location: Confidential Time: One day ago

In the principal's office, Professor X and others were having a meeting, discussing what Magneto and his crew were planning to do.

Cyclops said with a serious expression, "I think there's a conspiracy here!"

Professor X nodded and said, "Yes, Magneto and his group are definitely plotting something. I know my friend well; he's not the kind of person who lets things go easily."

Jean Grey said, "The problem is, we need to know about their plot!"

Storm nodded and said, "That's right, this way we can make the necessary preparations!"

Professor X continued, "It seems I need to use the Brain Enhancement Machine to see what my old friend is up to. Scott and Ororo, you two get ready. Once I have news, we'll set off to stop Magneto's plan!"

Laser Eyes and the others nodded in understanding. They then went back to prepare the equipment they would need for their upcoming departure.

A short while later, Jean Grey pushed Professor X's wheelchair back to the principal's office. However, Professor X looked tired and wasn't in good spirits. He said, "I've found Saber-toothed Tiger's trail. He's on the train to Canada. Follow him from a distance and see what he's up to! As for Jean, stay at the school and be ready to support them at any time!"

The X-Men received their orders, nodded, and flew away from Xavier's School in their stealth fighters.

======================Time Recovery===========

Highway in an unnamed town in Alberta, Canada.

A sigh of relief came from a car parked by the roadside, followed by silence.

Inside the car, Christine looked up and whispered, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried about feeling uncomfortable."

Adam touched Christine's face and said, "Okay, I know, don't overthink it."

Christine nodded slightly and said, "Mm."

Adam restarted the car and said, "It's late, let's go back!" Then he drove away.

This incident was somewhat unexpected for him. He had only intended to have a one-night stand, but he never expected that the other party would fall in love with him. This surprised Adam and suddenly gave him an urge to have a proper relationship, a feeling he had never experienced since the girl died.

He glanced at Christine, who had a shy smile on her face, and thought to himself, 'Perhaps falling in love wouldn't be so bad. Natalie probably feels the same way.'

Natalie was his first love, the young girl who tragically died young from a terminal illness. The reason Adam never dated and instead frequented parties and parties was because his first love was too profound, and he couldn't let go of it, so he deliberately indulged himself.

Christine's actions suddenly made him feel the urge to fall in love. Don't assume that such things are normal in a free world like America. That's a mistake. Perhaps they would indulge themselves, but if she didn't love Adam, she wouldn't have humbled herself to serve him. That's why Adam decided to fall in love again. The girl's actions successfully revived Adam's heart.

The car stopped.

Adam got out of the car first and opened the door for Christine. They then walked into the villa together, where they encountered director Alice and her cinematographer, Locke Hogan.

Alice looked at the two of them suspiciously and said, "Hehe, you're back. How was your time?"

Adam laughed and said, "Very good, if you ask me, you should have joined the party, it was very lively!"

Christine, however, wasn't as thick-skinned as him. With a slightly flushed face, she said, "Well, I've had too much to drink today. I'll go back and rest first." Without waiting for their reply, she hurriedly left.

After reading it, Locke Hogan laughed and said, "Heh, youth is wonderful!"

Alice disagreed and said to Adam with some helplessness, "Mr. Adam, I know you are the investor and I shouldn't be saying this, but if you want to make this movie well, don't mess around on set."

Adam knew what Alice was going to say, so he laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not messing around. I'm serious this time, and I promise I won't go too far before the movie is finished."

Alice knew that since Adam had said so, she had no choice but to trust him. She nodded and said, "Okay, I hope you can do it!" Then she left with her personal photographer.

Adam shrugged after reading it, knowing that his playboy reputation made Alice distrust him. But this time, he was serious about falling in love, so he didn't care what she thought; as long as Christine understood his feelings, that was enough. With this thought in mind, Adam returned to his bedroom.

The next day, Adam got up early, went out to buy some breakfast at the supermarket, and then knocked on Christine's door.

The door opened, and Christine, wearing blue jeans and a brown sweater, appeared in the doorway. Seeing Adam standing there with the bag in his hand, she blushed slightly and stepped aside. Adam chuckled and went inside.

Christine chuckled at Adam's expression and said, "Doesn't the crew provide breakfast? Why did you go out and buy it yourself?"

Adam laughed and said, "I don't like the crew's breakfast, so I get it from the supermarket in town every day. The supermarket owner is Chinese, and his breakfast is pretty good. You should try it!"

Christine felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, thinking to herself, 'Is this what love feels like? What a wonderful feeling! I wonder if Adam is serious or just playing around. Sigh, even if it's fake, I still want to experience a proper love affair.'

As a child star, Christine spent her childhood and adolescence in the studio, so she has never been in a relationship. She has been called a "stone woman" and a "lesbian" by some people behind her back. Therefore, she is both looking forward to and uneasy about her first love.

Adam, with his keen eyesight, naturally noticed the unease hidden in Christine's eyes. He walked over and gently hugged her, saying, "Christine! Darling, listen to me! I did want to have sex with you last night, the kind that adults know about, but your kindness and your budding love woke me up. I'm ready to have a proper relationship with you. This is the real Christine, and I'm going to pursue you!"

Christine was overjoyed, thinking to herself, 'He cares about himself, Adam cares about me, otherwise he wouldn't have said these things to me. Oh my god, is this what love feels like? I think I'm already in love!'

Thinking this, this brave girl who dared to love and hate had already proven her excitement and happiness with her actions: a long kiss, a French kiss, the kind that doesn't need to be specially learned, the kind of taste that only people in love can truly savor—the taste of happiness.

Adam has super breathing, so of course he's not afraid of suffocating, but Christine doesn't have that ability. But then again, could it be that her ability was awakened for the purpose of French kissing?

Okay, I'm overthinking. If this long kiss doesn't end soon, Christine will faint.

Adam moved his mouth away and watched the beauty leaning against him, panting heavily. He suddenly realized that being in love was indeed wonderful. I like it!

When Christine came to her senses, Adam laughed and said, "Honey, you're absolutely amazing!"

After hearing this, Christine deliberately tilted her head back smugly and said, "Of course, you have to treat me well, okay? Hehe, I'm hungry, let's have breakfast?" in order to cover up her shyness.

So the two of them snuggled together and ate their breakfast, taking turns biting bites. Of course, during this process, they seemed to have regressed to birds, struggling to finish their meager breakfast.

After breakfast, Adam knew that today's shoot was going to be different, so he and Christine walked out of the room and, amidst everyone's strange looks, calmly held hands and went to the shooting location.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Logan Leaves

Most of these people saw Adam and Christine leave together last night, so why are they surprised?

Simply put, what surprised them was that the two in front of them seemed to be serious, not just having sex. So those who had heard of Adam's 'reputation' before couldn't help but feel curious and surprised. Had the playboy been won over by Christine?

Christine, being rather shy, pulled away from Adam's hand and returned to the makeup artist, her face flushed as she prepared for the shoot. Adam, meanwhile, smiled nonchalantly and approached the actress who had spent the previous night with Logan, asking about Logan's whereabouts.

Upon hearing Adam ask about Logan, a hint of lust flickered in the actor's eyes. He then shook his head and said, "I don't know. I didn't see him when I woke up this morning. He did leave me a note saying I went back. Damn it, he didn't leave me his phone number."

She didn't mince words and directly admitted that she and Logan had slept together last night, then complained a little. Of course, her purpose was to get to know Logan better or get his phone number from Adam. It seems that she was tempted after last night.

Upon hearing this, Adam realized that Logan had probably left the note for him. He smiled and said, "Sorry to disappoint you, I don't have Logan's phone number either. That guy doesn't seem to like being contacted; I haven't seen him use his phone. Focus on filming; maybe we'll run into each other again sometime."

Hearing Adam say that, the actress was very disappointed, but she didn't ask any more questions. She said goodbye to Adam and left to prepare for filming.
