The Phoenix Girl, who was incredibly powerful in Chen Xi's mind, was now as lost and helpless as a child…
"Perhaps you've been working in the wrong direction; no matter how hard you try, you're just moving yourselves."
"Do you mean that we've been going in the wrong direction?"
Jean Grey murmured softly, but her eyes still held a glimmer of hope. She really wanted to know where Chen Xi thought they'd gone wrong.
"The final outcome proves you were wrong. The X-Men didn't exist for decades. The Professor went mad, Logan grew old, and you became a cosmic entity…"
"This is just the ending I saw; perhaps the yous in this universe will have different endings." Chen Xi said indifferently.
Who could say for sure about a future that could be foreseen? Anyway, he felt that this ending was bound to change.
If Old M really took care of all the mutants, wouldn't that mean he was also on the list of those to be sanctioned?
Because they don't care if you're a mutant, they think any "other" should die. Thinking about this outcome, Chen Xi felt a bit annoyed. If they provoked him, then don't blame him for exercising the power of a god among humans!
Jean Grey was surprisingly quiet upon hearing this!
After a long pause, she finally exhaled heavily.
"What you said has so many similarities to the fragments I dreamt of. I don't understand why I would dream about it."
"Don't feel too much pressure. If you can foresee the future, then work hard to change it, rather than waiting in despair."
"I believe you can change the future. You just need to change your thinking to change the future. For instance, if anyone disobeys, eliminate them and replace them with someone obedient."
Chen Xi smiled and offered a bad idea...
"Wouldn't that be a mess?"
Jean Grey rolled her eyes. They would never do something like that; the Professor always said the soul was free.
"So, you're doomed to fail. Your guiding principles are just wrong," Chen Xi said with a shrug, teasingly.
"We don't know what to do..."
Jean Grey also knew they were stuck in a dead end, unable to find a way out. They didn't want to harm ordinary people, nor did they want to harm mutants. Neither path seemed viable.
"Haha, never mind. Let's talk about something cheerful."
Chen Xi suggested.
"Tch! I was supposed to be questioning you, and now you're giving me a lecture."
Jean Grey was speechless at her own behavior. How could she chat and laugh with a murderer?
"Are you hungry? I haven't eaten yet. There's a nice restaurant next door, want to go grab a bite and chat?"
Chen Xi pointed to the restaurant beside them.
"Sure, I'm hungry too."
Jean Grey didn't refuse. She felt relaxed and comfortable with Chen Xi. The composure and confidence he exuded gave her a sense of security that no one else could.
It was a confidence she couldn't even describe. It was as if he had everything in the world under control, and she didn't have to think or do anything...
In the private room, Chen Xi ordered two bottles of Red Wine and some Western dishes that suited the mood: the traditional Steak, Lobster with Cod, Grilled Tuna with White Truffle, and Borscht.
The two of them didn't dwell on the heavy topics they'd just discussed.
There was no way to solve them instantly. Professor's kindness wouldn't allow him to be as ruthless as Chen Xi...
Chen Xi described his movie creation plots, which made Jean Grey support her chin with her hands in an admiring manner. For them, the movies showcasing Western themes were so fascinating.
Whenever they had time, they would play Chen Xi's movies. Even the magic and abilities, and those magical races in the movies gave them endless inspiration.
Even the children felt that Chen Xi was the one who understood them the best!
Those cool abilities and magic, if he hadn't personally experienced them, how could he have filmed them so vividly?
Red wine, beautiful women, delicious food, and the starry sky!
What more could he possibly want from life?
This harmonious and beautiful atmosphere also made Jean Grey's face blush charmingly, and a faint ambiguity slowly lingered between the two of them.
Jean Grey didn't notice her flushed face or the look of admiration in her eyes. This was a recipe for disaster!
"Scott, Logan, I'm really sorry. I don't want to steal anyone's girl, but I don't want to be a rebel!"
After Chen Xi apologized inwardly, he immediately felt no guilt. He felt a sudden sense of relief...
"I heard that investors there always try to push in pretty girls. Have you encountered that?"
Jean Grey asked with great curiosity. Girls are always curious about celebrity news; she was just a normal girl right now.
"If their acting isn't up to par, no one can get in. Anyway, if they try to force someone on me, I won't cooperate anymore." Chen Xi thought about it, and he actually had encountered it, and then he didn't cooperate anymore.
"Then, as such a well-known screenwriter, have you ever met any beauties who wanted to discuss scripts with you late at night, hehe."
Chen Xi shook his head. This woman was getting more and more gossipy; was she hitting the gas?
"Isn't that stating the obvious?"
"Haha, men are all the same, I didn't expect you to be an exception."
Jean Grey burst out laughing, no longer holding back…
She hadn't expected this guy to be so honest. When faced with this kind of question, which man wouldn't try to hide something?
"You're wrong. I'm very picky, you know. I keep myself pure and clean, alright? I only care about the Newcomers. They are inexperienced, and they must be polished by me to rise to the top, right?"
Chen Xi earnestly retorted, anyway, he only gave special care to Newcomers, it was all about the novelty.
"Tch! Just trying to weasel out of it."
Jean Grey rolled her eyes at him. Did he think she couldn't understand?
"Sigh, I really envy your life. It's so comfortable and exciting. Your life is my dream. That's exactly the kind of future life I dream of."
"Hehe, that's easy. Come to my place; I'll definitely save a bed for you," Chen Xi said with a mischievous grin.
"Heh heh heh, you're such a womanizer, juggling multiple relationships!"
Jean Grey immediately gave him a sidelong glance, her eyes filled with disdain. Who knew this guy had so many scandals? The celebrities he kept in his villa were too many to count.
"Defamation! Pure defamation!"
Chen Xi loudly defended himself. Who the hell was telling the truth!
"Hmph, men are all like this when they have money."
Jean Grey snorted coldly. Men were never good.
"Hahaha, dear Jean, you're really painting everyone with the same brush," Chen Xi laughed, not denying it.
Time always seemed to fly by when they were enjoying themselves. Chen Xi and Jean Grey chatted for over two hours without realizing it.
"Let's go, Miss Jean Grey. As a gentleman, I should see you home."
"Thank you, my gentleman. Although I didn't manage to punish you, you rascal, I still had a wonderful time today."
Jean Grey's eyes curved into crescents. She felt like she must be under some kind of spell…
