A week later, Lee Wintert moved out of Parker's house.

Although Mei did not quite understand why Li Winter would ask for the termination of the contract with an apologetic face, she saw that Li Winter was resolute, so it was difficult for her to continue to stay.

Mei said regretfully: "Actually, I can continue to reserve the room for you." I don't care about the rent. ”

Li Winter knew that Mei had good intentions, but now she was distressed when she heard Peter Parker's name, so she could only bite the bullet and say: "After the exchange program to the UK, I think it will be very busy to study when I come back, and it is more convenient to live in the dormitory of the school." ”

Saying this, Mei could only nod her head, help her move the box into the trunk of the car, and said casually: "Peter will be back in a while, do you want to say goodbye to him before leaving?" ”

Hearing this, Li Wente stiffened for two seconds, and had to lie: "I have already told him, not to mention that the school time is also arranged, please wait for him to come back and say goodbye for me." ”

If it had been Peter Parker, he would have easily seen that Lee Winter was lying, but May had not noticed that - in other words, she still did not understand why Lee Wintert had suddenly decided to move out, even though she had applied to a program in the UK, and had chosen not to be so different from the last time she had been in Gotham.

But May has always been a woman who is considerate.

She stood at the door of the house, waved her hand to Li Winter, who was sitting in the taxi, and watched her away with a smile on her face.

The more Mei was like this, the heavier the burden on Leewin's heart sank.

She could not tell the gentle elder the real reason: because Peter seemed to have some misunderstood feelings for me, I had to move for his own good.

Regardless of whether Mei will be embarrassed or not, she can't say a word with her character.

So Lee Winter even went so far as to ask Tony Stark to help him temporarily stuff himself into the school's exchange program, almost as if he were running away from New York.

Mae Parker sighed as he watched Leewin's taxi grow farther and farther away from the street until it was finally out of sight. I went back and dialed Peter's phone, and said softly in a helpless and somewhat distressed tone: "You can go home, she's gone." ”

Spider-Man squatted on a tall building and watched Lee Winter walk farther and farther away until he left Queens before answering the aunt on the other end of the phone. There was frustration in his voice that was hard to hide, but there was also tenacity to never give up.

After learning of Lee Winter's choice from Iron Man, Peter once asked Tony very formally:

"Am I really unreliable?"

At the age of seventeen, it may seem a little too irresponsible to say that it is reliable, but if it is unreliable - who can say that Spider-Man is unreliable?

Tony could only pat him on the shoulder, meaningfully saying, "You've never lost to anyone, time will tell." ”

Peter Parker knew Lee Winter all too well as he knew him as well as Lee Winter.

So he chose not to say goodbye to her, but wandered in the night sky of New York at night, accompanied Li Winter all the way to carry the luggage into the school dormitory, and after she fell asleep on the bed from exhaustion, he slowly fell from the roof, looked at her through the window for a long time, and whispered "good night".

Early the next morning, when Lee Winter was on his way to the airport with the school's organized team, Peter Parker borrowed a lot of test-related books from the library — he said to Quicksilver, "I might have to prepare for the SAT with you." ”

Hearing this, Quicksilver shook the handle of the game in his hand in shock, and said in disbelief: "Hat? If I'm not mistaken, you're two years younger than me? ”

Peter Parker said calmly, "Does it matter? ”

"No, no, no." Quicksilver caught the point in the messy message, "When did I say I was going to take the SAT?" I read Xavier's! ”

Peter Parker glanced at his friend, turned his head without hesitation, and shouted, "Mr. Stark, Professor X has agreed that Pietro will not go-"

Quicksilver quickly covered Peter's mouth, and his head jumped with green tendons and said: "Okay, good, you win, I'll accompany you to the test!" ”

After a pause, he added, "But I don't guarantee a result. ”

Peter smiled when he heard this, and said cryptically, "I don't think the professor thinks so." ”

Quicksilver: "......"

While Peter Parker was busy preparing to apply to New York University in advance, Lee Winter, who had come to England, was also welcomed by T'Challa.

The gentleman, who studied in Oxford, could not help but ask his own questions after figuring out the main reason for her coming to England this time.

"I'll interrupt for a moment." T'Challa was unsure, "You're on an exchange program primarily to hide from a suitor?" ”

"May I ask who it is?" T'Challa guessed sincerely, "Could it catch you off guard to this extent, is it Bruce Wayne?" If not him, then Tony Stark? ”

Li Winter: "............" Why did you mention the defendant Bai, you all think of these two first.

She had to correct her friend's misunderstanding: "Sorry, it's neither. ”

"Neither?" T'Challa raised an eyebrow, "Who else but the two of them could scare you out of here?" ”

"Actually, I had a very sensible and friendly rejection of Mr. Wayne." Lee Wintert banged on the table and emphasized, "This matter has nothing to do with them. ”

T'Challa shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Okay, I see, but can I ask who it is?" ”

Li Wintert sighed, probably she really needed to find someone who had no contact with Peter Parker to sort out her messy thoughts, so she poured out her thoughts.

"It's my landlord's nephew." After a pause, she added, "...... Five years younger than me. ”

T'Challa sat and listened. It wasn't until Lee Winter finished saying "five years old" that he didn't say a new sentence for a long time, and he couldn't help but ask, "And then ......?" ”

Li Wintert looked dazed: "What then?" ”

T'Challa took it for granted: "You were scared into coming to England and then? ”

Lee Winter: "......"

She was uncertain, "Wait, didn't I just give a reason?" ”

T'Challa was at a loss: "Did you say that?" ”

"He's five years younger than me, five years younger!" Do you understand?! ”

T'Challa looked at Li Winter's serious face, and couldn't help but think carefully for a moment about Li Winter's "five years older", but he thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't figure out where Li Winter's panic was, so he had to ask again: "...... Five years old, is there any magic spell in your country? ”

Lee Winter: "...... Why do you think so. ”

"I can't think of a second one other than a spell." T'Challa spread his hands, "You Orientals look more than five years younger than they really are, and I really don't know what's wrong with being five years older. ”

"It's problematic to be five years older." "Five full years is almost a third of his life. At such an age, it is very easy for people to misjudge their own cognition due to various factors in the outside world. ”

"Sorry to interrupt you—" T'Challa said slowly, "If you just think the other party is unreliable, just say no?" Is it necessary to dodge? ”

Li Wintert was speechless for a while, and whispered for a while: "He is very reliable." ”

T'Challa: "......? ”

He couldn't help but be sure: "Excuse me, 'very reliable' and then you think he's 'unreliable'?" ”

"I don't understand this logic."

Li Wintert opened his mouth and closed it again, and it took a long time before he said in frustration: "I don't know either." By the time I realized it, I had already submitted my application to the school. ”

T'Challa looked at the lifeless Leewin, sat across from her with her arms crossed, and looked at her for a long time before she said from the bottom of her heart: "You know, after hearing you say so much, I have only summed up one thing. ”

Lee Winter: "What? ”

T'Challa's black eyes stared at her calmly, and said calmly: "A coward has broken the hearts of others because of her lack of self-confidence, and she is afraid to face her friends who have been hurt by herself, so she chooses to run away. ”

Li Went wanted to defend something, T'Challa said: "Don't be in a hurry to oppose me, whether a person is reliable or not is never determined by age, you know this very well, and it is precisely because you know that he is rational and reliable, so you ran away." ”

"Because you're not confident. He had the courage to span those five years, and you didn't. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the silent Li Winter, and sighed, "If you weren't my friend, I probably wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you." ”

Lee Winter looked aggrieved.

T'Challa's education allowed him to make women cry at will, so he immediately swallowed back what he wanted to say and said, "It's okay, this exchange program lasts for half a year, and you're doing the right thing." ”

Lee Winter: "...... Ay? ”

T'Challa smiled: "Distance can make people calm, and you can think carefully about why you can live a stable life after rejecting Bruce Wayne, but you can't reject him." ”

"Even if you can't figure it out, you can make a decision for you in half a year." T'Challa said, "Maybe when you go back in half a year, everything will be calm again." In the world, what can stand the temper of time is love, and the most unbearable thing is love. ”

After a pause, T'Challa added, "But I think...... Never mind. ”

Much later, when T'Clay joins the Avengers as a Black Panther, Lee Winter learns from his girlfriend, Storm, what he left unfinished.

T'Challa felt that since Lee Winter felt that Peter Parker was reliable, he might not be able to change anything in half a year, maybe five years. But when he saw that Li Winter's expression really collapsed, he kindly swallowed the sentence back.

Especially when T'Challa learned that Li Winter's so-called landlord's nephew, Peter Parker, was "Spider-Man", he did not hesitate to change the "five years" in the original sentence to "ten years".

T'Challa said meaningfully, "He's Spider-Man." ”

Although it is a temporary application project based on relationships, abandoning studies does not conform to the Li family's philosophy. No matter what got here in the first place, and how distressed he was, when he started studying, Li Winter left it behind. T'Challa saw that it was really hard for Li Winter, and as a friend, he didn't want to bother her too much, so he cooperated with her in the past six months and forgot the purpose of coming here.

When half a year later, Lee Winter successfully completed the exchange, set foot on the land of New York again with excitement and longing, and returned to New York University to welcome the new semester -

She had completely forgotten about Peter Parker until she saw him again in the faculty room.

"Welcome back, Winter. I just happen to have something I want you to help me with. The familiar senior pushed her glasses and introduced the shy young man standing next to her, "This is Peter Parker, this year's freshman, who has taken the subject of your research direction. He's young, so take care of him. ”

Peter Parker smiled at Leewin, his light brown eyes as he remembered.

He said gently, "Hello, Winter. ”

Lee Winter: "......"

What the hell happened in the six months that I wasn't there!?
