Chapter Seventy-One: The Beginning

"Rick, what are you thinking?"

Gwen couldn't help but shake his arm when she saw Rick sitting in a daze with a Coke.

"No, no, just think about something." Rick said casually, "Why don't we go and dance with them?" He gestured to the crowd swaying to the music.

Michelle shook her head, "I'm not going, you and Gwen are going." ”

"Yes, you can go." Ned also shook his stomach and refused.

When Gwen heard Rick's words, her eyes lit up first, and then she saw that Michelle and Ned were both refusing, and hurriedly said to Rick: "Don't go, it's too noisy over there, let's just sit here and experience the atmosphere." ”

Michelle, like Peter, is a top student in school, and she is not gregarious and more solitary. Ned, on the other hand, is not good at sports because of his size, and is also ostracized by his classmates.

Gwen, as one of the members of the practice group, is still a back-to-school event that the group members are involved in. Unfortunately, the other Peter ran away for some reason.

"Okay. Come and drink, pour the ingredients. Rick picked up the beverage containers on the table and refilled them with coffee and Coke.

Rick finished pouring his drink and said apologetically that he wanted to go out first.

Looking at the sound of Rick disappearing into the crowd, Michelle held his head with one hand and looked at Gwen and said, "Peter was like this yesterday, he suddenly disappeared from the event as he spoke, Rick and Peter are really as mysterious." ”

"No, Rick will tell me if he leaves." Gwen had a look of concern on her face.

On the other side, Rick squeezed out of the crowd and went to the small supermarket on the side.

"This Oreo cookie, take it. This dried coconut fruit, take it. And this ice cream, take it too. ”

The table where a few people sat around them was only a few drinks and a simple small fruit bowl.

Although it is a small gathering of several people, eating and drinking are indispensable.

"Dangdang!"

"Here, ice cream, one for each person, and these foods, everyone will eat them."

Rick placed the snack stand on the table, picked up the ice cream and handed it to Ned and the others.

"Thank you." "Thanks, Rick."

"What were you talking about? I just saw you talking together and had a lot of fun. ”

"It's going to be an academic competition soon, and we're preparing for the questions."

"Rick, do you want to come along?"

"Aha, I'll forget it. I'll be the referee, since it's a simulated competition, then there must be a punishment. ”

Rick smiled with a drink in one hand and a snack in the other.

Ned answered incorrectly and drank half a drink, while Gwen and Michelle ate a snack if they were wrong. The most recent correct answer is exempt from punishment. ”

"The food you bought here is high-calorie, what should we do if we eat it and gain weight?"

Gwen winked, "Also, why didn't the referee punish anything?" That way, you can't be a referee, you're in a group with Ned, I'm in a group with Michelle. ”

Gwen and Michelle are real scholars, although Ned is also very knowledgeable and can become a member of the academic competition, but after adding Rick who is dragging his feet, he is still obviously defeated, and cups of Coke keep pouring into Rick and Ned's stomachs.

"I... I can't do it, I'm going to go to the bathroom. After Ned had drunk half a glass of Coke again, he staggered to his feet and walked out as he spoke.

Rick, who was sitting next to Ned, could faintly hear the swaying of liquid water as Ned got up to walk.

When Ned returned, everyone ended the mock academic competition.

Rick glanced out the window at the darkening sky, and from time to time the students at the dance party walked out.

"It's getting late, let's go together, I'm driving, I can send you back."

Rick said, standing up.

"Today is the last day of the weekend, and school will start tomorrow, don't bother, let's just take the subway back."

"yes, Rick has to take a long detour by car, and Michelle and I will go all the way back."

Gwen politely rejects Rick as well.

Before Ned could speak, Rick said first: "Okay, you two be careful on the road, go back early, Ned lives and I will drop him off." ”

"Okay, Rick, see you tomorrow~" The second daughter stood and waved goodbye.

"I..."

Ned was a little surprised when he heard Rick's words, and when he was about to speak, Rick grabbed his broad, fleshy shoulders and secretly forced, leading Ned to turn around.

Rick turned his head and waved, "See you tomorrow!" ”

"I think there's a secret between the two of them." Michelle said, playing with the cup in his hand.

"Yes, just like your Peter Parker, but whatever, I'm sure I'll find out sooner or later."

Gwen smiled slightly.

It wasn't until Rick walked out of the school gate with Ned in his arms that Ned spoke: "Rick, I didn't tell you the address of my house, how could you say that you stopped by, I'll take the subway back later." ”

There are not many pedestrians at the school gate on weekends, and occasionally a few students walk out to participate in the Homecoming Festival.

"Peter Parker, Spider-Man"

Rick leaned into Ned's ear and whispered two names.

"You... How do you know! Ned looked surprised.

"About this, you go to Peter later, and let him tell you."

"Okay, call Peter, see if you can get through, ask him for his specific location, I didn't leave your phone number before."

"Rick, are you also a superhero like Peter, how did you mutate, and were you also bitten by a spider? Or was it bitten by something? ”

When the shock was over, Ned's face was full of curiosity, and he asked in a whisper as he pulled out his phone.

"It's a long story, I'll talk about it when I have time. Call Peter first, it's not too early, you should be home early. ”

"Okay, okay, isn't it still with you, you're definitely not a bad person, you won't hurt me, right?"

Ned muttered and dialed Peter Parker's number.

"Peter, I'm Ned, where are you?"

"Ned, why did you call me again! I was busy with it, and as soon as the phone vibrate, I was almost exposed. ”

"Hey, Peter, it's not like I'm calling you, it's Rick calling you! Rick, you know what? Did you two know each other for a long time? You don't tell me this, but we're still good friends. ”

Peter Parker ignored Ned's series of complaints, "Rick! He asked you to call me, did he say something? ”

"He said you're Spider-Man. Man, if you have any friends, tell me about them when you have time. ”

"What! Does he know I'm Spider-Man? Ned..."

Looking at Ned, who was chattering, Rick patted him on the shoulder and took the phone.

"Peter! Pajama baby! You know who I am! ”

"Mr. Cat! Rick! Did you already know who I was, or did you find out the last time we met at the school gate? ”

"It doesn't matter, Ned and your first phone call, I heard that you were in trouble and need me to help you?"

Peter Parker's prepared meal of spit was held back into his mouth

"Uh, thanks, I need it so much. There are a lot of them, and they all have guns, and I feel like I need your help. ”

"Where are you? I'll get to you later. ”

"It's in Queens, near the coast of the Bronx, and I can't remember the exact location along the way."

Ned, who was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, suddenly said, "Rick, I can do it, I can help you locate Peter's location, just through her phone." ”

"I don't need your help this time, I can find him in the past, you can do our technical support, but it will be later"
