Jean Grey: Playboy, I Was Ultimately Fooled by You!

Red Hulk was decapitated with a single axe strike, so naturally there was no chance of him surviving. He was not Deadpool.

His massive head rolled across the ground, and scorching blood spilled everywhere. Red Hulk's eyes remained wide open, staring straight at the sky.

One could still see unwillingness, fear, and doubt in his eyes. He was the mighty Red Hulk, an existence even more powerful than Hulk—so how had he died?

It seemed unbelievable, yet he had truly been this vulnerable!

An excited Jean Grey ran over as well. She watched the mysterious and powerful man standing atop the monster's body, his black cape snapping in the evening breeze, while his eyes shone with a strange brilliance.

"I didn't expect you to be this strong. That monster should have been even stronger than Hulk. There aren't many mutants who can defeat Hulk."

Jean Grey's tone was full of shock. She truly could not imagine what kind of power that body contained.

"Not bad, not bad. Third best in the world."

Chen Xi modestly scratched his head and said somewhat "shyly."

"I believe you."

Jean Grey nodded blankly. She actually believed him...

Chen Xi had not expected this woman to truly believe his nonsense. Judging by her serious expression, she did not seem to be faking it.

Now even he felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, there was too much commotion around them, and the lighting was too dim for her to see the awkward look on his face.

Only after the battle ended did the people hiding along both sides of the road dare to come out and look, though they still kept their distance.

"Let's go. Someone will probably call the police soon, and then S.H.I.E.L.D. will handle it."

Chen Xi did not want to deal with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s agents.

They would stick to him like a persistent rash, watching him and making him feel uncomfortable. He was also afraid that he might accidentally crush an agent assigned to monitor him...

"Mm-hmm, let's go."

Jean Grey nodded. She wanted even less to show her face. If this matter involved her, public opinion would push her into the spotlight again.

Vroom!!!

The Ferrari's engine let out a deep roar, and it vanished before everyone's eyes like a red bolt of lightning.

"Red Queen, delete the surveillance footage nearby. I don't want them tracing the license plate and coming after me."

Chen Xi immediately instructed Red Queen to get to work. He was not afraid of those agents; he simply did not want to be disturbed.

"Yes, Master."

Red Queen answered at once. Deleting a few videos would only take minutes, and this was the suburbs, where there were not many usable cameras to begin with.

"Artificial intelligence?"

Jean Grey looked at him curiously. The secrets on this man's body truly seemed endless!

"More or less. It makes handling certain things much more convenient."

Chen Xi smiled indifferently.

"I really want to cut open your head and take a look. Your secrets have me fascinated!"

Jean Grey stared at him and spoke softly. The sparks in her eyes glittered brightly, making it clear that she was serious.

"Hehe, I have far too many secrets. Woman, I advise you not to get too curious about me, or I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me."

Chen Xi said with a lecherous grin. If he wanted to win over a mature and intelligent woman like Jean Grey, advancing by retreating was the safest approach.

"Hmph! You narcissist. I've never met anyone more narcissistic than you. Am I really that shallow?"

Jean Grey's pretty face flushed slightly under Chen Xi's intensely invasive gaze, and she hurriedly huffed to hide her racing heartbeat.

"Haha, whether you're shallow or not, I'll have to try to find out."

"(╯︵╰) Get lost!!"

Jean Grey was not a child. How could she fail to understand that this guy was shamelessly making a dirty joke?

One moment he was gentle and refined, the next cold and domineering, then carefree and frivolous...

Which one was the real him? The thrill of his constantly shifting personality also left her unable to stop. Whenever she was with him, there never seemed to be any shortage of conversation, and he always managed to stir her heart.

Jean Grey realized that her heart had been in turmoil today. She had smiled more today than she had in all the days before combined, and it had been a long time since her heart had raced like this...

When the car slowly arrived near Mutant School, Jean Grey suddenly asked him to stop and said softly, "Stay and talk with me a little longer."

"Okay."

Chen Xi understood. She did not really want to return to that place that bound her so tightly it left her unable to breathe. Once she returned, she would become the serious Teacher Jean Grey...

After parking the car, the two of them sat down on the grass by the roadside. The sky was filled with glittering stars. Lying back with his hands behind his head, Chen Xi looked at the night sky and said, "It's been a long time since I last looked up at the stars. The starry sky is still so profoundly beautiful and breathtaking."

"Whenever I was troubled in the past, I would look at the stars. Gazing at that boundless sky would make my heart open up. In the vast heavens and universe, what did the hardships I suffered really amount to?"

"Then your life must have been very hard before, right?"

Jean Grey suddenly looked at him with some heartache. People only remembered his present glory, but what had come before that glory?

"Hardship doesn't really matter. As long as the ending is good, then it was all worth it."

I wasn't afraid of hardship, as long as there was even a sliver of hope.

Chen Xi did not continue that topic. Instead, he turned and looked intensely at the woman beside him, as though telling her that as long as dreams remained in her heart, hope remained.

"Thank you. If I'm unhappy someday, I'll quietly look up at the stars too. And I'll think of you."

"But I still want to watch the stars with you."

Chen Xi suddenly changed the subject and looked at her seriously.

Jean Grey stared at him blankly after hearing that. The air seemed to slowly freeze at that moment, and then, as if drawn together by magnets, they moved closer to each other.

Their pounding hearts and budding affection erupted at that instant. When a man and woman who liked each other gazed into one another's eyes for more than ten seconds, they would feel the urge to kiss.

After a long while, Jean Grey finally could not help pushing away Chen Xi, whose hands had nowhere appropriate to rest, when she began having trouble breathing...

"You playboy, I was ultimately fooled by you."

Jean Grey's face was red as she rested her little head against Chen Xi's shoulder and murmured coquettishly.

"Then are you willing to be fooled by me?"

Having gotten what he wanted, Chen Xi still acted smug. His large hands began mischievously wandering again.

"You're awful!"

Jean Grey pinched him irritably. This bad man was still teasing her at a time like this. He was too awful.

The two quietly embraced without speaking, enjoying the peace of the moment.

Time passed bit by bit. When the moon reached the middle of the sky, Jean Grey's phone rang after all...

Annoyed, Jean Grey simply turned it off. But Charles was basically a walking loudspeaker!

Seeing Jean Grey's reluctance, Chen Xi still took her little hand and led her toward the car.

"Come on, my dear Teacher Jean Grey."

"If two hearts are meant to last, why must they be together morning and night?"
