"Gwen?"

"I'm fine, Dad, I just want to be quiet. I've asked Ms. Rollaire for leave in advance, so don't worry. ”

Gwen's muffled voice came from the room.

Although it is good to say, but to lock yourself in the room for so long, George. Stacy doesn't think her daughter's state has anything to do with "very good".

"Peter has come to see you, are you sure you can't come out?"

George asked as he stood outside the door.

Hearing his father say that Peter had come to see him, Gwen was speechless.

In the middle of the night, her slightly less determined voice came from the room.

"Okay, but let me clean up the room."

Gwen got out of bed, her left hand gently pressing on her aching forehead.

The room was pitch black, save for a slight glow from her phone's screen.

She let out a slight breath and looked at her phone.

A friend of the band "Mary Janes" is constantly @ her in the social group.

Looking at his ID "Billionaire Gwen", who has been in a gloomy state in the group, Gwen operated it on his mobile phone and went offline manually.

In the social group, Betty is still proposing her new name for the band to the group members.

"Panda Soul?"

Muttering Betty's new band name, Gwen shook her head.

"There's nothing new about the name. How is it possible that a band that has been shouting beyond the MJ period? ”

Throwing her phone on the bed, Gwen remembered how bad she had been last night.

Shoot the spider silk yourself, although you end up dragging Norman. Osborne.

But the huge stretching force seriously damaged the opponent's spine.

This is tantamount to saying that the other party's serious injuries are entirely self-inflicted.

If...... If I had to do it myself, there would definitely be a better way to save him.

She hadn't slept all night last night, and she had been blaming herself for her mistakes.

Since becoming a street vigilante, she has never encountered such a complicated thing.

The superhero she thought of was never so simple.

In the process of becoming Spider-Woman, she never tried to kill anyone.

She has always believed that no matter what, the law should punish those who are evil.

But now, he has become the one who almost broke the taboo.

"Smack!"

The lights in the room were turned on, and Gwen was a little uncomfortable with the bright lights.

Squinting slightly, she opened the door.

Peter was standing outside, carrying a paper bag in his hand.

"Good evening, Peter!"

Gwen greeted Peter with a smile, trying not to let the other person see her mental state.

"Good evening, Gwen."

Peter could naturally see Gwen's bad state, after all, it was caused by him.

"The milkshake for the 'five guys' was bought for you on the way."

Peter pretended to be casual and handed her the bag containing the milkshake.

"Milkshake?!"

Gwen took the milkshake in surprise.

"Thank you, Peter."

Gwen, who was a little moved in her heart, finally stopped smiling on the corner of her mouth.

She gently pulled the milkshake out of the paper bag and took a bite.

"I remember you saying, Peter, it was the last time we had a date with the 'five guys', sorry...... I don't know if that's a date ......."

Gwen paused for a moment, and said a little unnaturally, "You gave me a milkshake as an apology to me, although I don't understand why I apologized." That...... Is it the same this time? Apologies for the milkshake ......"

"Well, sort of."

Peter was a rare truth-teller.

"Thank you, Peter, and I don't need your apology, but I still want to thank you."

Gwen's inner gloom was dispelled for the most part.

She sat quietly on the bed, legs crossed, quietly savoring the milkshake.

Peter, on the other hand, stood aside, silently accompanying Gwen as he tasted the milkshake.

"Peter?"

"Huh?"

Gwen put the milkshake aside, and suddenly her expression was a little melancholy.

"I ...... Can I ask you something? ”

Gwen said hesitantly, "Maybe this will sound weird. ”

Peter stared out the window at the night and said to Gwen, "I don't know how Gwen defines strangeness. Remember that the person standing in front of you is also defined as 'weird' in school. ”

"No, Peter, you're not strange at all."

Gwen shook her head, "I have dreams a lot, Peter. I dreamed that I was in another world, and in that world, I still knew you, but I had a very easy life, there were no worries, no setbacks. ”

"Sometimes I silently think, if I were the Gwen of that world, how good would that ordinary life be like?"

Peter listened to Gwen's words and was silent for a long time.

He knew that Gwen was trying to say that he wanted to have a more ordinary life.

"Believe me, Gwen, there is no such thing as a normal life."

Peter said to Gwen with an indifferent expression, "I understand what it feels like to dream of a simple life. ”

"But, Gwen. When you are struggling, when you are not sure about yourself, you are actually figuring out who you are and what the meaning of your life is. ”

Although Peter admits that he is a jerk, he confronts Gwen and eventually does not hold back, and transmits positive energy to the other party.

He may be able to take advantage of the situation to change Gwen's values.

But that's not what Gwen wanted.

"The days need to go by day by day, do your best and be the best Gwen. Stacy. I think, Gwen, you know that better than I do. ”

Looking into Gwen's eyes, he said slowly.

Gwen's gaze met Peter's, and a warm current flowed through her heart.

"I see, Peter."

Gwen picked up the milkshake again, "It's still a little unadjustable, but I think I'm lucky, both in my dream and in reality." I've always had you, Peter. ”

"Ahem...... I mean, there's a friend like you, Peter. ”

Gwen coughed, hiding her embarrassment.

But she felt the milkshake in her hand sweeter and sweeter.

Gwen wasn't lying, she did have some vague dreams.

I dreamed that in another world, I was an ordinary girl, I was not bitten by a spider, and I didn't become a spider girl.

Normal life, normal life as an ordinary person.

It won't be like now, confused and painful because of Spider Woman's identity.

"I ...... I want to tell you one thing, Peter, one very important thing. ”

Gwen thought about it for a moment, and then made a decision in her heart.

She had decided that Peter was the one she needed to protect, and the one who was willing to keep the secret with her.

She didn't want to lose the other person.

If he continues to be a superhero and continues to hide from the other party, maybe he will really lose Peter.

Gwen put her hand against the wall, took a deep breath, and said to Peter:

"You're going to keep it a secret for me? Is that right? ”
