How It All Started
The connection between Sif and Odin was purely coincidental. After what happened last time, Sif had seriously examined her feelings towards Thor and the marriage that had been destined for her since childhood.
Later, I gradually realized that my feelings for Thor were more like those for a brother, like that of an older brother. What I thought was love was just a constraint and a habit that this marriage contract had imposed on me for a long time.
Or perhaps it's more of a vanity, a feeling of being destined to become a future queen.
As for Xia Yu, it can't be said that Sif fell in love with Xia Yu at first sight. It's just that she had a special feeling for the first man who was close to her. Under such circumstances, as long as she didn't dislike him, a little bit of a different kind of feeling would definitely be born.
Moreover, although Asgardians have long lifespans, generally living for three to five thousand years, it doesn't mean their growth cycle is that long. In fact, it's not much different from humans; they are almost fully mature in all aspects by their early twenties.
A single man over a thousand years old, Xia Yu stimulated his female hormones, and this won't subside in a short time. Just look at how inseparable Thor was from Jane when they first got together.
So Sif explained to Odin that she wanted to come to Earth for some experience. Of course, she didn't know that the Odin was Loki in disguise. Loki was naturally more than happy to do so, in fact, the fewer of these old men around, the better.
So Sif came to Earth and spent some time in the United States, where she heard many rumors about the Avengers and saw advertisements featuring them everywhere.
Peggy is very casual about endorsements. As long as the price is right and the product is good, she'll accept a photo and a recording. She's a person who doesn't show her face much, yet she's taken on quite a few product endorsements.
So Sif sees Avengers figures everywhere she goes.
My impression of Xia Yu has deepened.
In fact, apart from Xia Yu, Sif held a transcendent status in Asgard and considered herself a god deep down on Earth. Therefore, she didn't fall in love with Xia Yu immediately; it was because she simply didn't pay attention to anyone else.
Moreover, Xia Yu opened the lid on people's hormones that had been around for over a thousand years.
Loki thoughtfully gave Sif a bank card, which he had swindled from the people he controlled when he was on Earth. So Sif broadened her horizons and happily spent several months on Earth.
She focused on reading romance books and watching romance movies, and she increasingly felt that she had truly fallen in love with Xia Yu.
But everyone on Earth knows that Xia Yu has a Black Widow by his side.
Sif couldn't bring herself to confront them, so she kept it all to herself, traveling the world and witnessing more love stories.
Until she arrived at a place from Asgard legend, shortly after her birth, the battlefield where Asgard defeated the Frost Giants: Norway.
I met Odin by the sea.
That's when I realized that the Odin in Asgard was Loki in disguise.
Odin also told him the whole story of his family's affairs, including that Loki and Thor were both arranged by him, and that he came to Earth to seal Hela away.
Sif had always regarded Odin as a father figure since childhood. Seeing the once majestic All-Father now so frail and weak, Sif felt a pang of pity and stayed to keep Odin company.
Sif's perpetually troubled demeanor was no surprise to Odin, the old fox, who quickly extracted the truth from her.
Odin wasn't actually that ignorant. Regarding Thor and Sif, he simply felt that an ordinary human from Earth couldn't accompany Thor for many years, and Sif was more suitable.
But in the end, I didn't interfere too much; I just expressed my opinion.
Odin felt somewhat guilty towards Sif because Thor had fallen in love with a woman from Earth. He had personally arranged the marriage for her, and if Thor had remained devoted to Sif and refused to be with her, Sif might have ended up alone in Asgard.
However, after some hesitation, Sif told Odin everything, including examining her own feelings and the misunderstanding with Xia Yu, which resulted in her now having a trace of Xia Yu in her heart.
What kind of feelings does Odin have for Xia Yu? It's like Asgard fire extinguisher. From the very beginning, it was for the future fate of Asgard. He put Xia Yu in charge of watching over Thor and taking care of Loki.
They even wanted him to marry Hela.
Since Thor has made up his mind not to Sif, why not try to match Xia Yu and Sif together?
Odin was wise throughout his life, but as he grew older, he began to act on a whim, such as his dealings with Hela Sif.
Sif stayed with Odin for a long time, Odin simply took Sif in as his goddaughter. He was originally thinking of finding an opportunity to talk to Xia Yu about it.
Before Xia Yu could even arrive, the Ancient One came to visit him, and Odin then mentioned the matter to the Ancient One.
If Ancient One could cause Xia Yu any trouble, she would definitely do her best, or at least offer a suggestion.
She told Odin that Xia Yu was a Huaxia, and that Huaxia people value face, status, ethics, and men's responsibilities to women. She said that as long as Odin controlled these aspects, Xia Yu would definitely not be able to escape.
As for Natasha's question, they all automatically ignored it. Unlike Thor, who had absolutely no feelings for Sif, they could see Xia Yu's vitality; he could live for thousands of years without a problem. How many years could he be with Natasha?
Decades have passed in their eyes as if they never happened.
Just like parents finding partners for their children, the agreed-upon marriage is for them to get married in their twenties or thirties. Going to junior high or high school and finding a partner before that doesn't matter.
That's how the opening scene came about.
Seeing the usually sharp-tongued Xia Yu being forced into a retreat, Odin couldn't help but give the Ancient One a thumbs up in his heart. She was indeed very useful.
The two chased and fought their way to the edge of the cliff.
Xia Yu looked down at the cold seawater and said.
"Uncle, that's enough. If you hit me again, I'll jump. I've already said it was a misunderstanding."
Odin raised an eyebrow. "What misunderstanding? Sif is a girl who has never been married or dated. How can she face people if word gets out that you've been kissing and touching her like that? You have to take responsibility."
Xia Yu finally understood. So, this girl felt bad about not wanting her son anymore, so she forced this whole thing on me, didn't she?
What's wrong with a kiss or a touch? What era are we living in? Although Asgard is a relatively traditional world that has existed for thousands of years, the concepts of male-female relationships are not much different from those in modern Western society.
You're talking to me about taking responsibility? Are you kidding me?
After figuring out what had happened and considering Odin's strange behavior, Xia Yu immediately realized that this was a trap set for him.
With his neck straightened, his reckless spirit also came through.
