The Distance Between Near and Far

Charlize Theron, of course, hadn't forgotten that she also shared a room with two roommates and had her own room. She didn't sleep at Henry's place all the time, although she enjoyed spending time with him.

But being a disciplined person, she goes out for a jog early in the morning whenever her schedule allows. This is the simplest exercise to maintain and improve her physical fitness.

She would even drag Henry out for morning runs, because that lazybones only loved Sun Pharma and didn't like exercising.

But one day, Henry suddenly had the idea to take Kitty for a morning run, which caused quite a commotion, and Charlize gave up on the idea altogether.

You can't play like this with a person and a cat (?!) in the city. But if you go to the suburbs, they can run to a place where Charlize, who considers herself to be in pretty good physical condition, can't even see their backs in no time.

So the idea of having the other person train with him faded after a few times. Charlize couldn't turn the other person into a running partner, which is a minor flaw among Henry's many strengths.

Henry's personality is actually not clingy at all. Like a cat, if you're close to him, you can get close and pet him a few times. But if you encounter someone who isn't affectionate, that person might take two steps forward and Henry would take four steps back. You'll never catch up with him.

This perfect sense of distance allows Charlize Theron to focus most of her time on her work without worrying about whether her boyfriend is lonely or might seek out other women.

After all, since JJ Harris became her agent, Charlize Theron's schedule has become more demanding, leaving her with relatively less time to spend with her boyfriend.

Although most of the time, it's just running around for auditions that have no hope, opportunities arise from these repeated attempts. If you don't try, you won't have a chance.

These issues not only concerned Charlize's ability to stay overnight at Henry's place, but sometimes even evening performance rehearsals couldn't take place.

There weren't many auditions in the evenings, but occasionally there would be parties with lower barriers to entry, where JJ Harris would take Charlize Theron to broaden her horizons and introduce her to producers or directors.

I wouldn't go so far as to offer myself as a bed partner. But if I want to meet more people and have more opportunities, these kinds of situations are unavoidable.

If there's a particularly difficult person at a party, JJ Harris might even have Henry accompany him.

With a film company CEO acting as her protector, those guys who can't control their lower bodies will restrain themselves a bit, even if they secretly despise Henry Brown.

Although the CEO of Stark Studios isn't yet widely recognized within the industry, it's still quite easy for someone in that position to cause trouble. A simple move like cutting off filming equipment rentals would be devastating for anyone, unless it's a project from Big Eight film studios.

Besides these kinds of parties, one of Charlize Theron's evening schedules is occasionally filling in for other people at odd jobs.

Until her acting fees are enough to support herself, she has to work odd jobs. She mainly works during the day, but occasionally she has to fill in for others at night.

Although Henry could afford to support her and hinted that she should move in and eat his meals, the stubborn girl insisted on having her own independent life rather than relying entirely on another person, especially a man.

Although she didn't hear it from Charlize, based on her memories from before she transmigrated, this big star had an abusive father. Her mother even shot and killed him to protect herself and her daughter—such a shameful past.

Henry, not knowing if the same thing had happened in the world before, certainly couldn't ask.

However, based on previous experience, some people's life experiences will be similar to what I knew before I traveled through time, with only minor differences in details.

It seems I am a variable, but the only thing I can change is the future that hasn't happened yet; whether it will be changed depends on the extent of my intervention. As for the past that has already happened, of course, it cannot be changed no matter what.

Even Superman could only reverse time by one day to save his lover. If you really want to mess up the timeline, you need the Flash.

But every time the Flash alters the timeline, it's the prelude to a major event. The situation can't be minor, and the ending can't be happy; it will only get worse. Until the Flash is sacrificed...

Tianyou doesn't have the Marvel Universe with the Flash.

Henry, who never intended to treat Charlize Theron as an accessory, always keeping her by his side and not allowing her to go anywhere, naturally had to resist the urge to hold that fragrant and soft body all the time and live his life at a normal pace.

For example, rented videotapes have a return period.

Henry woke up early in the morning and saw BB, who had just escaped from the jaws of death, roll in front of him, emitting a mechanical voice. "Today is the deadline for returning the rented videotapes. Late returns will incur a late fee. Please note."

Finally managing to utter a coherent sentence, BB was swept aside by Kitty's swatter. Before BB slammed into the wall, the rotating spherical machine body sprayed high-pressure air towards the expected impact point, reducing the force of the impact.

This is the core robot, now in its umpteenth generation of modifications; it's a story of blood and tears, a battle of wits and courage against Kitty.

Although you can apply your own tiger repellent to the baby, considering that this little guy will move around everywhere, it means that the tiger repellent will stick everywhere.

If things escalate to the point where Kitty is too afraid to move, or if she manages to break through the tiger repellent's barrier and move around freely regardless of its range, neither of these would be good outcomes.

So Henry abandoned the idea of using tiger repellent to protect the little robot and continued to fight the Tiger that would chase it by focusing on its mobility.

Kitty simply waved BB away, not because it was tired of playing with it, but because it was almost mealtime and it was staring at the Krypton biped, waiting for its food.

Henry stroked the tiger's head and went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. The butcher who delivered the meat that morning hadn't arrived yet, Kitty was anxious but there was nothing she could do.

Not forgetting to stretch out a leg, he pushed Kitty, who had followed him into the bathroom, out and closed the door.

Do you know what the most troublesome thing about owning a large pet is? It's preventing them from drinking water from the toilet...

While animals instinctively seek out clean, flowing water, Henry couldn't help but worry. What If...? this Tiger, raised since birth in Kryptonian home, had questionable intelligence?

Rather than teaching her this, it's better to cultivate the habit of closing the door behind her. So the bathroom is one of the few quiet places in the house that Kitty can't go.

Just as Henry stepped out of the bathroom, the doorbell rang. Pulling a few bills from his wallet, Henry dodged the Tabby Cat trying to squeeze through his legs and get to the door to open it.

The butcher, holding a plastic bag of still-warm meat, waved and greeted, "Hello, Kitty."

He stretched out his leg and pushed the "Tabby Cat" back; this guy had tried to pounce on the meat delivery guy more than once.

Whether it was excitement at seeing the food he was carrying or excitement at seeing "him" himself, it wasn't a good thing. So Henry had to push this big guy away, to a distance where even his claws couldn't reach him.

Henry handed over the money and took the plastic bag, saying, "Thanks, John, it's been a hassle to bring this up again today."

Yes, yet another one named "John." Henry was wondering if collecting seven John would create a giant John to grant his wish.

"Mr. Brown, may I pet Kitty? Or feed her?" John asked.

Henry looked at the young man, who was even younger than himself, with a strange expression. "What are the chances that if you feed this little guy meat, your hand will be bitten off along with it?"

Henry, of course, ignored the young man's request and decisively refused.
