Since falling out with Peter, Gwen decides to accept an invitation from the University of London to become a special exchange student for a year. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In many ways, the University of London is more well-known than NYU in the global academic field.

And as one of the oldest universities in the world, the University of London has a very high historical status.

The choice to go to London was actually not simply because of Peter's considerations.

If you want to think about your academic major and future, the University of London is a good choice.

Other universities in the UK that have invited Gwen are Brown University and Cambridge University, both of which are among the world's top universities.

But Gwen chose London in the end.

But it's not easy to travel thousands of miles and live in London alone. Although both are English-speaking countries, there are slight differences between American English and British English.

The main thing is the way of speaking, as well as some oral fetishes in broken sentences, and some subtle differences in pronunciation.

Of course, this is not a very troublesome thing for Gwen. She has a good ability to learn.

However, there are still many inconveniences in coming to London to live. The most important issue is housing.

Of course, the school provides student housing, but it is currently summer vacation and the student housing is closed.

Gwen came to London for a month in advance to adapt to life in London first, so as not to have any unaccustomed parts of his academic life in the future, and then he will adjust.

Now there is no student accommodation, so you have to rent a house in London.

But like all the world's megacities, rents in London are frighteningly high, even more expensive than in New York.

For five hundred pounds a month in London, you can only rent a sofa in the living room. This is not an exaggeration, there is only one sofa for you to sleep at night. You are not allowed to use anything else in the house.

The British are very stereotyped, saying that the sofa is rented, then there is only the sofa.

If you want to live in a house, even the worst single room can cost more than £2,000.

And if you want a slightly better house, you can't run up to 3,000 pounds.

In London, many people spend half of their monthly income on rent.

For Gwen, who is no longer in New York, it is impossible for her to receive income from the position offered by the Osborne Group to support her family.

Although she has probably saved more than $20,000 in savings in recent years. But the rent of more than £3,000 a month was too expensive for her.

And although her father George is the deputy chief of the New York City Police Department, his annual salary is more than $200,000.

But she doesn't really want to spend her father's money now, she came out to seek independence.

And now is the special time for my father to participate in the general election, and the British paparazzi are the ancestors of the whole world.

Gwen didn't want to be used to make news for her father.

So under the guidance of the school teacher, she shared a house with a senior sister of her own.

This senior sister is a graduate student in astronomy and physics. He is currently doing research with a professor of astrophysics at the University of London.

Because the institute does not close during the summer vacation, and the professors of astronomy do not stop their research.

So this senior sister is also working during the summer vacation. Go to the institute during the day and come back to sleep at night.

Although it is not good to talk about others behind her back, Gwen has always had some doubts about whether this senior sister is a real research institute.

Because judging by her dress and style, she sometimes gives people the appearance of an underground rock singer.

And it's cold, and it's not very comfortable to speak. Gwen had been here for so long, and he couldn't have more than three words to say to her.

Aside from knowing her name was Daisy, Gwen didn't know anything about her. This seems a little too bad as a roommate.

But Daisy didn't seem to care at all. She goes out early and returns late every day, Gwen can't see her, and finally gives up on her plan to get on good terms with her.

In a two-bedroom share house, it's actually nice to have your own way and not interfere with each other.

By the way, in order to save your small savings, at least before you find a suitable part-time subsidy life.

Gwen decided to save money to live, and one of the most crucial things was to cook and eat for herself.

Everything in London is expensive, and food is no exception. Ten pounds is basically nothing.

Even a vegan buffet cost twelve pounds, and Gwen had heard that the school cafeteria might be even more expensive.

It would be terrible if the cost of food for a month reached a thousand pounds.

Of course, it's not without its cheapness, and some country restaurants can offer a nineteen-pound set menu. Bring one serving of meat, vegetables, soups and entrees with unlimited portions. (Of course, the vegetables are mostly broccoli, potatoes and purple cabbage.) ）

But it's still expensive for Gwen. So the eldest lady who didn't touch the spring water with her fingers in the past has begun to learn to cook. And it's done decently.

When Gwen met Lee, she was holding a large brown paper bag. It contained five days' worth of food for her. She couldn't hold it anymore.

But after meeting Li Jie, this kind of rough work was naturally handed over to Li Jie to do.

"Come in!" Gwen smiled as he beckoned Li Jie to his new residence in London.

An apartment in a neighborhood about twenty-five minutes by bike near the university.

It is a very simple apartment, with little to offer other than the necessary amenities.

Not even a TV and no air conditioning. Although there is no air conditioning in the summer in London.

However, Li Jie thinks it is better to have an air conditioner, because the room is a bit damp, and the air conditioner can at least dehumidify.

"You're going to live here?" asked Gwen in surprise. Because this kind of accommodation is really not good.

Li Jie noticed that the wallpaper in the corner of the apartment was already a little moldy, and the wall skin was a little upturned, which proved how damp the house was.

It's not a comfortable thing to live in. Clothes are prone to mold, and the smell of the room is not very good.

Although Gwen had already opened the window as soon as he got home.

But Gwen waved her hand indifferently: "It's not good to learn to live alone outside." This is the cheapest house I can find near the university. And in fact, compared to other houses, this place is already good. ”

"I've heard that some student apartments may not be as good as this because they are so old. Gwen opened all the windows and invited Li Jie to sit down. And poured him a glass of water.

"There was only water, and I didn't buy any other drinks besides milk. Gwen said apologetically, "But it would be strange to give you milk." ”

"No, the water is fine. Li Jie smiled and looked at Gwen.

He noticed that Gwen had several scars on his fingers that hadn't faded yet. He frowned, "What's wrong with your hand?

Li Jie took Gwen's hand over and looked at it carefully. Huh? It doesn't look like intentional injury.

The thin wound looked more like it had been cut by a knife.

Gwen smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, Nightcrawler. I haven't met anyone who bullied me in London. ”

As she spoke, Gwen withdrew her hand and walked to the open kitchen, chatting with Li Jie while putting the ingredients she had just bought in the refrigerator. At the same time, he took out a large piece of chicken breast as well as some vegetables.

"It's just some tuition fees to practice cooking," she says. If you're not in a hurry, how about you go back to have a meal here today? Let the chef try my hand at cooking. ”

Gwen winked at Li Jie as she spoke. Li Jie was really surprised this time, Gwen had never cooked before, well, if it was a salad, she would make a salad with mayonnaise.

As for the rest of the dishes, they are completely obsessed.

Li Jie looked at Gwen's somewhat rusty knife technique, while instructing her to use cat's claw style to cut vegetables safely. At the same time, I was chatting with her at the same time.

"How do you know I'm a Nightcrawler?" asked Li Jie, leaning back on the couch and watching Gwen chop vegetables.

"It's not hard to guess, isn't it, Peter has already told me he's Spider-Man. It's hard to go from zero to one, but it's not hard to go from one to two. Gwen slice the chicken with a half-cooked knife.

"If Peter is Spider-Man, then it is not difficult to guess who the Nightkin is from his various words and deeds to match you. If you're to blame, it's Peter who confessed to me. Gwen said with a smug smile.

Well, Gwen's cleverness is nothing to say. Especially since she herself is also very familiar with Li Jie.

"What about you, Jason. How did you get from New York to London? Don't tell me you're here for a tour, or to see me. Gwen was curious.

"Oh, I said, banishment. Li Jie shook his head. Now that Gwen has guessed who she is, there is no point in covering up something.

He just told him what had happened. As a result, Gwen almost got a knife to her hand again.

"You were robbed of your first kiss by a man?hahahaha!" Gwen almost laughed at this, and Li Jie almost suspected that he was going to take her to the hospital.

"yes, not for Spider-Man. Doesn't it fit the plot you wrote?" Li Jie thought of the script written by Gwen and the book drawn by Ivey. couldn't help but complain.

Gwen pulled out a baguette from the bag and shoved it directly into Li Jie's mouth.

She was a little annoyed and said, "That's enough!

When the characters and things in the plot you write become the people around you, and you use them to complain to yourself, then the things you have done will become your own black history.

Li Jie shrugged his shoulders and took a big bite of French bread. Well, it's a little too hard, and Li Jie doesn't like this taste.

Finally, Gwen made a salt-fried chicken breast, as well as a dish of parmesan cheese, grilled tomatoes and creamy fried mushrooms to serve to Li Jie.

Although the chicken has been fried over the heat, there is some firewood. And the tomatoes and mushrooms didn't taste much, but Li Jie felt that Gwen's had really changed.

While the two were eating Gwen's dinner, there was a knock on the door.
