Chapter 1029: Tom Returns to Normal

In the greeting of his parents and his parents, Lin Rui briefly talked about his work at Stark. Of course, these are all made up by Lin Rui. Lin Rui did do experiments and research with Tony, so his parents wouldn't doubt his work when he made it up.

"That's not bad, but, Jackson, will you continue to go back to school?" asked his mother, Mary, after Lin Rui told him about his work.

Lin Rui is only seventeen years old after all, although he works behind Tony Stark, even if he doesn't go to school in the future, it's no problem. However, as parents, they still want their children to read more. After all, Lin Rui was still too young, and they didn't want him to work full-time so early.

Actually, Lin Hai had already talked to Lin Rui about this question before. For Lin Rui, it really doesn't matter if he goes to school or not. If Lin Hai and Mary really wanted to have a good education, Lin Rui could have asked Tony to help. Tony once said that with Lin Rui's current knowledge reserves, it was no problem to enter MIT under his recommendation.

However, although he is now a superhero, Lin Rui still has some nostalgia for the simple student life that follows step by step. Moreover, with more contact with superheroes with important responsibilities such as Iron Man Tony Stark and Captain America Steve Rogers, Lin Rui's psychology will slowly become heavy. Therefore, getting along with teenagers more helps Lin Rui maintain a passionate young mentality.

"As for school, I'll go back to class when I have time. I had already told the teachers at school that I was going to know about it, and they all knew about my situation. So, there will be no problem. After thinking about it, Lin Rui replied with a smile.

In addition to Lin Rui, Peter and Tom are also continuing to attend classes now. Except for Harry, who really needs him to devote all his energy to the family business, Lin Rui and they will not give up campus life.

"Well, that's good. Hearing Lin Rui's answer, Mary said with relief.

"By the way, Tom came to you during your time at Stark. Tom hasn't been in a good mood since the last incident. Recently, however, there has been a lot of improvement. I heard Mr. Smith say that Tom seems to have made new friends lately, and he usually hangs out. After chatting about work and study, Lin Rui's father Lin Hai suddenly mentioned Tom, Lin Rui's childhood playmate.

"Tom?...... Does he know I'm back?" Hearing Dad mention Tom, Lin Rui's eyes flashed and he asked.

"Well, I told him when you said you were going home. If he was at home, he would have come by now. “

As soon as Lin Hai's words were finished, Lin Rui suddenly sensed something, and then turned his head to look at the door. Following Lin Rui's gaze, outside the gate of Lin Rui's house, a figure was standing there, and it turned out to be Tom that Lin Hai had just mentioned.

"Tom, you're here! Come in, what are you doing at the door?" Seeing that Tom didn't know when he was standing at the door, Lin Hai hurriedly walked over and said enthusiastically.

"Hello uncle and aunt. With Lin Hai's warm welcome, Tom also smiled and said hello and walked in.

Indeed, as Lin Hai just said, Tom is much better now than when he first came back a month ago. Although it has not fully recovered to its pre-disappearance personality, it is no longer much different from a normal person. Regarding Tom's change, Lin Rui also saw it. Obviously, Lin Rui was also surprised by Tom's change. For Tom, Lin Rui has always been sorry in his heart. But now that Tom is recovering well, Lin Rui feels a lot better.

"Tom, long time no see. After Tom walked in, Lin Rui also stepped forward enthusiastically and greeted him with a smile.

Call~

Then, before Tom could react, Lin Rui had already given him a big hug.

“...... Long time no see, Jackson. Being suddenly hugged by Lin Rui, Tom seemed to be a little stunned, but after reacting for a while, he still reached out and hugged Lin Rui, and then said in a low voice.

"Well, you two good friends haven't seen each other for a long time, and there must be a lot to say, so we won't bother you. We will now go and prepare supper, and we will call you when it is time to eat. Seeing Lin Rui and Tom hugging each other, Mary said at the right time.

Because of the physical and mental devastation that Tom has suffered after his disappearance, the Smiths have already greeted the neighbors around them and asked them to take care of Tom as much as possible. And Lin Rui's family was greeted by the focus, because Tom and Lin Rui have been good friends since childhood. Moreover, after Lin Rui went to work at Stark, Tom also came to the door many times to ask when Lin Rui would come back.

So, now that Lin Rui is back, and Tom is also here, Lin Hai and they will of course give them some space. When he left with Mary, Lin Hai also gave Lin Rui a look, probably meaning that he would take Tom to have fun.

"Let's go, go to my room, we haven't talked and played games in a long time. When Dad and Mom went to the kitchen, Lin Rui and Tom had also separated, looking at the good friends in front of him with obviously different temperaments, Lin Rui said with a smile.

Without an answer, Tom simply nodded. Then, these two good friends, who were no longer ordinary high school students, went upstairs together and went to Lin Rui's room. It is only when there is no one that they can release their true selves.

"Jackson, were you in London at the time when the aliens invaded Earth last week? As soon as he walked into Lin Rui's room, Tom asked directly.

Obviously, Tom was still worried about Lin Rui. Moreover, Jarvis imitated Lin Rui's voice and Lin Hai and Mary could hide it from the phone call, but they were not quite Tom. It's not that Tom knows him better than Lin Rui's parents, it's just that Tom subconsciously knows that Lin Rui won't do experiments quietly in Stark Industries. After all, Lin Rui's other identity is Phantom Knight.

"Uh...... I wasn't in London at the time. Actually, when the aliens invaded Earth, not only was I not in London, I was no longer on Earth at that time. Hearing Tom's inquiry, Lin Rui's face was embarrassed, but he replied without concealment.

Hearing Lin Rui's answer, Tom was obviously surprised. If Phantom Knight went to London to deal with aliens with Iron Man and Captain America, it was nothing, but now Lin Rui said that he was not on Earth at that time. Could it be that Lin Rui can still travel through the universe like those aliens?!
