Chapter 586: Seeing Susan again, double standards are the essence of humanity

~7 min read 1,270 words

【Fantastic Four】 world.

In the company office, Susan was buried in her work, diligently handling business.

The tailored suit jacket was a classic office item, and the neat suit paired with a simple shirt outlined the curves that had originally been buried under the jacket.

This gave the doll, who had originally been held in the palm of his hand for fear of melting, a bit more capable and tough temperament.

"Phew... finally finished."

Susan let out a long breath, leaned back in her chair, and habitually took out her phone, found the number she had dialed countless times, and dialed it.

"Beep—beep—beep—"

The sound of waiting for an answer rang in the phone. Her eyes, clear as autumn water, froze, and her originally relaxed body instantly stiffened.

"It actually went through?"

"He... he finally came back?"

Susan's eyes sparkled with excitement and joy, but it didn't last long before her expression froze.

The call was hung up.

Why? Was it inconvenient for him to answer the phone right now? Or did he hang up by accident? Should I call again?

An indescribable sense of loss welled up in her heart. Just as she hesitated whether to call again, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Susan didn't even look, her eyes fixed on the phone, and she shouted "Get out" without lifting her head.

"I've thought of many scenes, but I never expected that the first thing you'd say to me after we met would be to get out."

Before the words fell, the familiar voice made the excited Susan instantly look up, and at the same time, she stood up with a *whoosh*.

"Su Quan!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it was full of emotion.

Su Quan walked in and closed the door, smiling and wanting to hand over the roses in his hand, but the other party opened her arms and rushed over.

Let alone handing over the flowers, his mouth was blocked shut.

The first sign of true love: in a boy, it's timidity; in a girl, it's boldness.

At this moment, Susan was bold. Her eyes hid a galaxy, waiting for the wind, and waiting for you!

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office was the sunset, regret, and the golden afterglow shining on the two of them.

The sunset is especially gentle, and the world is full of romance.

"I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to call just at the right time." Su Quan held her and handed over the flowers.

"This isn't a coincidence..." Susan took the roses and thought to herself: "Every day after finishing work, I would call you, time and time again, day after day."

I am missing in your world, and you are brilliant in mine!

"The last time we met was one year, four months, and three days ago. During this period, there wasn't a single phone call, and I tried every possible way to contact you but couldn't."

"Can you tell me what happened?"

Every world has its own timeline and time flow, and you can choose the time point when traveling.

For Susan, they had been separated for over a year, but for Su Quan, he hadn't seen Susan for decades.

Reunion after a long separation is just like the first meeting.

Susan's beauty still made his heart flutter just as much.

Looking at Susan, who was gazing at him with affection, Su Quan said softly: "The story is very long..."

"I'm willing to listen slowly."

Su Quan nodded gently and confessed everything to her: his identity, his abilities, his forces, and his purpose for coming to this world, etc.

After a long, long time, Su Quan's voice fell, and Susan, snuggled in his arms, was dumbfounded. After a long time, she murmured: "You... are you a god?"

Between the Void at the end of the timeline, traveling to different worlds, various magical abilities, and boundless greatness...

For Susan, an ordinary person in an ordinary world without extraordinary powers, "god" was the most appropriate description she could think of!

Su Quan thought for a moment and said: "Although there are some differences, you can understand it that way."

God, in modern dictionaries, is a general term for deities.

It refers to the creator and ruler of all things in heaven and earth in religion, and in superstition, it refers to immortals or the spirits of people with high abilities and virtues after death.

As the ruler of the Void, possessing the ability to modify reality and transcend life and death, Su Quan was qualified to be called a god.

Asgardians could be called Norse gods, so why couldn't he, the Lord of the Void who could easily kill Asgardians in seconds, be called a god?

"You know I'm a scientist, right? I... I'm an atheist," Susan murmured.

Su Quan laughed: "Whether I'm a god or not isn't important. Even if I am a god, didn't I still come to find you, and hold you in my arms just the same?"

Susan smiled sweetly and suddenly asked: "You can travel to different worlds and have endless life, then... there must be many people held in your arms, right?"

Su Quan asked with a smile: "Do you mind?"

"Actually, I was mentally prepared long ago. You almost never talked about your family affairs, and you only came to see me after a long time. Every time you left, it was like you evaporated from the world, and I couldn't contact you at all."

"I thought you might be married or have another girlfriend, but I didn't expect the result to be more shocking than I guessed."

"I can accept this result. After all, you are a god, you are the sun, it's impossible for you to be my light alone!"

Susan's words made Su Quan's face burn a little. He wasn't the type of person to take only one scoop from the weak water of three thousand.

Life should be enjoyed to the fullest; three thousand beauties returning to my hand, taking all the weak water of three thousand—that was his personality.

This is reality, right?

He had seen people in suits and ties cursing their parents, and he had seen people covered in tattoos taking meticulous care of hospitalized elders;

He had seen gentle girls cheating on their partners, and he had seen girls who smoked and drank openly holding fast to love;

Gentleness can be faked, but character and the kindness in one's bones cannot be faked.

This world is dirty and crazy, and the more perfect people look, the deeper they might be hiding.

People are half-human and half-ghost; when you get close, no one can bear to look.

So Su Quan doesn't hide, doesn't pretend, and doesn't wrong himself. If he wants something, he wants it. It's not like he doesn't have the strength, so why make a choice?

Besides, one should adapt to local conditions.

Think of Norse mythology, Greek mythology; he couldn't be out of step.

Besides, others played so wildly and were so treacherous yet were still worshipped; he hadn't treated anyone badly, on the contrary, he had given all kinds of benefits, so his confidence was even greater.

Susan really didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Quan. What identity does what things. If Su Quan were just an ordinary person like Reed, everyone would be the same. Do you think Susan would go berserk?

But Su Quan is not an ordinary person; he is a god, so it must be a double standard.

After all, double standards are the nature of humanity.
