Li Winter walked out of the elevator, but was bumped into Spider-Man who was hurrying in.

Peter Parker stood in front of the building, apparently just swinging straight from the building opposite. He came in a hurry, stood in front of the building with a nervous expression, his eyes stopped on the ugly Li Winter, and the Adam's apple rolled for a moment, but he chose not to say a word, and did not let the way open.

Lee Winter had just quarreled with Iron Man because of Bruce Wayne, and it was difficult to calm down anyone at the moment. So even though she knew that anger was very childish and bad behavior, she still couldn't help the anger that welled up in her heart, just glanced at Peter Parker, and walked away from him quickly.

She didn't stop as usual, but walked away as if she hadn't seen the other.

Peter Parker obviously didn't expect her to do this, the word "Winter" stuck in his throat, and before he even had time to turn back, the girl had already grabbed her arms and rushed out of the building.

The moment he passed by, Peter turned his head slightly, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and hold her, but only for a second of hesitation, Li Winter had already rushed out of the Avengers Building, onto the busy Boulevard, to a distance he couldn't touch.

One step late, again.

Peter Parker let go of his hand in frustration.

There was a rumbling thunder in the sky.

Hearing such a voice, the members of the Avengers always think of Thor very easily. However, when Peter looked up at the gloomy sky, he knew that the thunder had nothing to do with Thor, but a sudden rainstorm.

Lee Winter also warned Peter in the morning that there might be a shower today, but she ran out angry without an umbrella.

The weather is still a little cold, and in such weather, it is probably going to be sick if you get in the rain.

Realizing this, Peter Parker didn't care to think about whether Li Winter wanted to see him now, and hurriedly chased him out.

As soon as he found Li Winter standing in the crowd, the raindrops of beans fell down!

This was not the time to wonder "will she hate me", before Peter Parker could react, he had already tied up Li Winter with spider silk and dragged her out of the crowd into his arms, flashing under the awning of the mall next to him.

However, the rain was so heavy that this little bit of land didn't make a big difference at all.

Without hesitation, Peter Parker raised his coat and locked her firmly in the awning. The rain was pouring down, and Li Winter was protected by him under his jacket, and he could hear the sound of bean-sized rain hitting his jacket.

Li Winter's trance-like gaze condensed slightly, her back was guarded by one hand, and her head was held up by the other hand.

The khaki coat soon soaked up enough water, and began to drop droplets of water on Peter Parker's forehead, and then drip on Lee Winter's eyelashes from his perspective.

When Peter Parker saw such a scene, he couldn't help but scramble to wipe off the water droplets for her, but he didn't have any free hands at all. He panicked only to make the rain leak even harder, and the rain hit Lee Winter's face and rolled down her cheeks as if she were going to cry.

Peter Parker grew more and more flustered, but Li Winter couldn't help but laugh.

She reached out and removed the soaked coat that Peter Parker had used to protect her from the heavy rain, reached out to wipe the water on his face, and said softly, "My back is wet." ”

Peter Parker only felt that the places where Li Winter's fingertips had rubbed were amazingly hot.

He lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "It's okay. ”

After a pause, he seemed to remember Li Winter's "turning a blind eye" before and hurriedly added: "I'll leave when the rain stops." ”

Li Wintert couldn't help but sigh as he looked at him.

She stood on tiptoe, reached over Peter Parker's head, and smiled at him.

This girl, who was a few years older than him and had a gentle personality, seemed to have no choice but to purse the corners of her mouth and say, "Okay, then don't rain." ”

Peter knew what Lee Winter was capable of, so the fact that her words stopped in a sudden rain did not surprise Peter Parker too much. Instead, Peter Parker focused on something else than the sun that reappeared in a matter of seconds.

He couldn't help but think that Lee Winter really liked Bruce Wayne, otherwise she wouldn't have even let the heavy rain stop now in order to make her disappear.

- Probably in her mind, she was a contract-breaking bastard.

Peter thought with some despair, the rain stopped, and then what? Will she be so angry that she won't even go home.

Then Li Wintert took out a tissue from his bag and wiped his wet cheeks for him: "I'm not that fragile, and I won't get sick if it rains." She glanced at Peter and decisively gave up on the rescue: "It's soaking wet." ”

Peter pursed the corners of his mouth, he wanted to say something, but he was afraid of adding fuel to the fire, so he could only shut his mouth again.

Li Wintert sighed heavily, slipped the clean tissue into his hand, and walked forward. When she took two steps and found Peter Parker still standing in place, she couldn't help but be a little curious: "Aren't you going home with me?" If you don't change your clothes, you'll get sick. ”

The day in New York went from a raging storm to the first day after the rain, and Peter Parker's mood was the same.

His light brown pupils were empty for a moment, then blinked, uncertain, "Winter, aren't you angry?" ”

"I'm angry." "Mr. Stark would know about Mr. Wayne, and he could only have told him from you, right?" To be honest, I was really, really angry. ”

"You promised me to keep it a secret."

After all the complaints were said, the only remaining anger in Leewin's heart disappeared. She wanted to pretend to be angry, but looking at Peter, who looked guilty, she could only squint her eyes with her arms folded, "But if you are angry again, you have to go home first." ”

She looked Peter up and down, and said in a lengthened tone, "Is it because I'm angry that Spider-Man doesn't want to take his poor tenant a 'shortcut' home?" ”

"Of course not." Peter Parker's eyes were utterly serious, "As long as you want." ”

As soon as he finished agreeing, Peter looked at his wet self and had to refuse again: "It's just that maybe not right now." ”

Although he didn't say it, his light brown eyes were full of apologies that "will make you wet too".

Such a close distance reminded Li Winter of the last night, when the boy was so close with a slight blushing face because of her joking remark, and she could easily see the sincere and simple brown pupils as long as she raised her eyes slightly.

Those brown eyes were so beautiful and clear that she could see herself clearly in his eyes—just like now.

Poof. Puff puff –

Spider-Man's facial features are much more sensitive than usual, and he naturally noticed that there was something unusual about Lee's heartbeat.

His brow furrowed slightly in worry, and her shadow became clearer in his brown pupils.

Peter asked softly, "Winter?" ”

Suddenly it became apparent that she was a little afraid to look into Peter Parker's eyes.

Why?

She stood still, hesitated for a long time, and then asked in a hesitant whisper, "Peter, are you—" She said half of her words, but swallowed it back, and in Peter's eyes, it was like a turtle retracting its shell.

Li Wente pursed the corners of his mouth and hurriedly said, "Forget it, there shouldn't be anything-"

Peter Parker looked at her and suddenly said, "Whatever you want to say, my answer is 'yes.'" ”

Leewin's expression froze in astonishment, and she said with some difficulty: "Peter, this answer can't be used casually, you don't even know what I want to ask......

Looking at Li Winter, who struggled to explain, Peter couldn't help but think of her helplessness and panic when facing Bruce Wayne.

Maybe Quicksilver was right.

He should have spoken out.

Peter Parker clenched his fists, but his eyes were clean and unadulterated.

He said to Leewin, "Do you remember when I said before you went to Gotham that I would tell you something when you came back?" ”

Lee Winter: "......? ”

She wondered, "Yes, but—"

Peter Parker said softly, "I like you. ”

Lee Winter: "......?!" ”

Her eyes widened and she was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" ”

"I like you." Peter repeated, and when he really said it, he realized that it was not difficult at all. He had nervous eyes open and a bright smile.

This time, there were no murders, and there were no sudden interruptions by 'others'.

On the streets of New York after the rain, with people coming and going in the background, Peter Parker was half soaked and embarrassed, expressing his simplest mood in a completely different way from what he imagined.

"I like you."

Peter smiled slightly, his light brown eyes looking around a little helplessly, and it took him a long time to dare to stop at Liewin's body.

He paused and said tentatively, "If you don't like Mr. Wayne, can I?" ”

"I know I'm not mature, in fact, I don't say this to you until I want to be a worthy Avenger." "It's just...... Well, it's just that things are out of my control. ”

He was a little embarrassed: "Some things just catch people off guard, right?" ”

"That's not right! Hey, no—" Li Wintert was also a little incoherent, she finally found the key words in her messy head, and hurriedly said, "I'm five years older than you!" ”

"Do you know what a five-year-old is? That means when I was in high school, you were still in elementary school! ”

"I know what five years is."

Peter Parker's light brown eyes had the gentlest water flowing through him, and he looked at Lee Winter, and he didn't move, but he still couldn't move.

Peter said softly, "Five years is not enough time for the universe to explode to form stars, not to make the Himalayan peaks an inch higher, or even too late to make the Setkedas waterfall disappear." ”

"It's not just that the Earth orbits the sun five times."

Li Wente pressed the corner of his forehead and emphasized: "You can't compare like this! ”

"—it doesn't mean anything." Peter rarely interrupted Liewin, and the persistence and seriousness in his eyes even made Levant dumbfounded for a moment, and he could only stand there and listen to him finish word by word.

"It doesn't mean anything, except for one thing."

Peter Parker lowered his gaze slightly, his eyelashes casting a shadow on his face.

Li Winter couldn't see his eyes clearly, but his voice was as gentle as a breeze.

Peter stared at her and said softly, "—I could have seen you earlier." ”
