Chapter Twenty-Five: Confused?

"It's a little different from what I imagined the room."

Mary Jane looked around Peter's room and said to him.

"So, what do you imagine the room should look like?"

Peter leaned back at the desk next to him and asked Mary Jane.

"I ...... I can't describe it, but I think it's a tower-like stack of books, furniture hidden behind a mountain of paperbacks, with only a small corner peeking out – it looks like the wreckage of two planes connected to the same sea. ”

Mary Jane faced the man who made her a little nervous, and gradually regained her cheerful and joking personality.

"I'm sorry, I'm not a hoarder."

Peter shook his head and asked her straight to the point, "So, you came to visit just to visit my room." ”

"Nope."

Mary Jane hesitated, raised her eyes, and said to Peter, "Last night, there was a man named Phil. Coulson's man, who claimed to be someone from S.H.I.E.L.D., asked me about what happened in the lab that day. ”

"...... like this"

Peter nodded, "So, what did you tell him?" ”

Mary Jane didn't speak, just looked into Peter's eyes.

After a while, she slowly lowered her head and said, "You...... And what do you want me to tell him? ”

She was going to throw the topic to Peter.

"By the way, do you remember the first time we met?"

Mary Jane saw that the atmosphere was a little dull, raised her head, smiled at Peter, and said, "I remember very clearly, it was a history lesson, a chapter on Nixon's recordings. ”

(Nixon's Watergate)

She shifted the subject to a history lesson that the two had met.

Initially, Nixon decided to destroy the recordings before outsiders knew about them, but he didn't. The teacher let us listen to the recording and then asked us what we thought. ”

Mary Jane recalls the lesson, "Some people said that our Mr. President liked to curse, some people thought his voice sounded sad, and some people thought he was angry. ”

So the teacher asked, why did he insist on leaving the recording, so that it was clear that he had left incriminating evidence?

"Your answer is because he thinks no one can help him."

The smile on Mary Jane's lips grew, "I thought that was a cool answer. Just like superheroes, some people, after they have power, think that no one can help him, no, not superheroes, maybe supervillains, in short, they are the same as President Nixon. ”

"So...... I had a very strict rule before, which was 'no superheroes'. However, I changed my mind at the Spring Ball. ”

Mary Jane shrugged her shoulders and said to Peter, "I think there are superheroes now, very cool, not the kind of people who act recklessly, but can help others. ”

Peter pondered his meagre knowledge of history, and said that he had no impression of Mary Jane's Nixon history lesson.

“...... You mean Spider-Woman is pretty cool? ”

"Ha, she's really cool, but there's someone even cooler."

Mary Jane took a step closer to Peter and said, "I know him, and he saved me." I will always keep it a secret for him and never mention it to anyone. ”

"I swear!"

Peter looked at Mary Jane's unusually serious expression and fell silent.

Of course he noticed the MJ in the lab cabinet that night.

I didn't notice it at first, but I didn't notice it until I entered the venue.

At the beginning, adhering to the principle of "there is no evidence, if you say it, you will be regarded as a neurotic", he didn't pay much attention to the other party.

"I think...... You shouldn't throw that code away, MJ. ”

Peter sat down in a chair in front of his desk and said to her, "Because these things will only bring more trouble." Icarus, with his feathers attached, flew towards the sun, and the closer he got to the sun, the faster the wax feathers melted, and finally fell into the sea. The closer you get, the more you hurt. ”

"Whew!"

After listening to Peter's words, Mary Jane was a little depressed.

She exhaled, adjusted her emotions, and said to Peter, "Maybe my rule will not work for you." I mean, if it were you, I probably wouldn't care about that. ”

She's a little crazy right now, this idiot doesn't understand anything.

I've almost made it clear.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he come over and confide in himself?

Or...... Possibly hugging yourself?

Why do you look like you have nothing to do with yourself, I clearly hint to you, I know what you did that night!

Mary Jane was complaining inwardly when Peter stood up and walked towards her with a serious expression.

Looking at the other person's expression, it seems that he really intends to hug himself.

What should I say?

Refuse?

Or is it "Macho man, you won the jackpot, I'm attracted to you"?

She was thinking about it when Peter walked up to her.

When he was full of anticipation, the other party stood in front of him and suddenly stretched out his hand to the door.

"Squeak!"

He pulled the door open.

Aunt Mei was standing outside the door with her mobile phone, looking at the two with an embarrassed expression.

"Sorry, Peter, the call was for you, I just wanted to knock on the door......"

Aunt Mei tried her best to explain that she was not the kind of person who deliberately eavesdropped.

"I know, thank you Aunt Mei."

Peter took the phone and thanked Aunt May.

Mary Jane, who was standing next to her, blushed, hurriedly said goodbye to the two, and fled the room.

"Hey, it's me, Mommy."

On the way back, Mary Jane took out her phone and answered the phone.

She hadn't gotten out of the extreme shame she had just now, and her tone was a little unnatural.

"What?!"

After listening to her mother's calm narration, she shouted in surprise, "You want a divorce?!" ”

Hanging up, Mary Jane stood on the road in despair.

The pain that I had tried to paralyze and forget came up like a tidal wave.

These pains reminded her at all times that she was a person who would never be accepted into happiness.

She looked around blankly, and for a moment she held the hand of the phone, feeling extremely cold.

......

In the living room, Peter was talking to Gwen on the phone.

"Gwen?"

"Yes, Peter. If I don't call you, you'll probably stay offline forever. This is not a normal social distance between close friends. ”

Gwen on the other end of the phone said in an unhappy tone.

"Maybe my social distancing has changed a bit."

Peter replied to her casually.

"That's not good news. I'm going to see Harry in the hospital, and he mentioned you on the phone, do you want to go along? ”

"Maybe we'll meet his father, Mr. Osborne, didn't you say you admired him before? If he is willing to fund your extracurricular scientific research, you may be able to succeed. The next super scientist, Peter. Parker, maybe it's you. ”
