So.

The first day.

Aha.

I was observing Dai Han.

I knew he was observing me too.

We were like wild cats that bumped into each other at the edge of their territory, so we cautiously tested each other. Only Peter wasn't in the picture. I didn't know why he was so nervous.

Of course, I had a cold war with Peter.

Of course, Peter apologized to me.

He blocked me at the entrance of the library, stuttering and holding the flowers Dai Han asked him to give me.

I accepted the flowers and made up with Peter.

I didn't know if I really forgave Peter.

Even after a long time, in my dreams, I would still see Peter standing next to Dai Han and laughing at me.

The ninth grade passed quickly.

Peter and I were supposed to go to the prom. Logically speaking, I couldn't ask out Andrew, who had already graduated …

Who would have thought that Peter would tell me that he wanted to ask out Betti from the news agency.

Who was Betti?

I didn't care.

Betti was blonde, had fair skin, blue eyes, and a miniskirt.

What was I wearing?

I was wearing cargo pants and a tank top with oil stains. My long hair was curled. My brown eyes.

I decided to endure it.

It would be so embarrassing.

Actually, I didn't know why, but I felt that Peter should go to the prom with me.

It didn't make sense.

Then Dai Han asked me out.

He took me to the beauty salon. His face was full of disdain and he rolled his eyes at me with the stylist. But he bought me a dress that cost three thousand dollars.

"After all, I was the one who caused your current situation," Dai Han told me dryly.

I wanted to say that the passers-by weren't the main point.

In my story, 99.9% of those people didn't even have their names.

The main point was Peter.

I didn't say.

Then we went to high school.

What could a summer vacation change?

There was a lot that could change.

I wasn't short or fat anymore. I inherited my mother's long legs. I grew taller and had a chest.

My face had grown, and my features had deepened, so that, in all likelihood, strangers would think I was a Brazilian mixed-race model who had come to New York to walk the runway.

I learned to make white pipe trousers look great.

Thank you to Dai Han for your tireless guidance.

I learned to touch my face with make-up.

Thanks to Aunt Mei, she was forever young and eighteen years old.

This year, several major events happened.

One: I successfully convinced Andrew to take me to his prom!

Two: Peter became the Spider-man.

Three: Wait, Peter is not the only Spider-man.

Four: … F * ck, so all three of them are Spider-man!

The mutated spider had sinned.

We were scared out of our wits!

There are only three brothers in the family, and all three of them were bitten by spiders. I don't think anyone else can do that.

He jumped straight to the conclusion.

As their neighbor's childhood sweetheart, the greatest significance of my existence is …

Cover for them.

… What can I say?

They had a heavy responsibility.

They were superheroes.

I had to cover for three people at once. I didn't want to lie, do you understand?

But they made me tell so many white lies that I couldn't complete them myself.

Get up in the morning?

Cover for Andrew, who was patrolling through the night first.

Lunch?

Remember to cover for Toby, who suddenly disappeared.

After school in the afternoon, this was the best time for Peter to wander around!

Especially Peter, this guy, not only did I have to cover for people who didn't know about him, but I also had to cover for him to get there before his brothers got home!

The three of them were able to maintain a good reputation as good kids in the countryside, and that was all thanks to me!

In order to cover for them, I turned around and gave them to me.

That's it.

My high school life. Dating?

No time.

Homework?

I had to write two copies (or maybe three copies, who told me to like Andrew).

It wasn't enough to dabble in chemistry, I also had to know a little about tailoring. When purchasing, I had to make a phone call to double the price. In my spare time, I didn't forget to help them practice their skills and study any possibilities between cutting-edge technology and spider silk.

That's it.

One day, Toby and I were soldering the circuit on Andrew's uniform to connect to the spider silk launch system. Suddenly, Toby said:

"Xiaonan, you understand that I want to start a business."

"I understand.

Aren't you doing it now? "

"So, you'll be my secretary?

The CEO's secretary, I promise I won't give you less salary even if I starve to death and only have a layer of skin left. "

In this regard, Toby never reneges on his promises.

Why wouldn't I agree, there's meat to eat if I follow the CEO.

"This doesn't mean I want to see you starve to death and only have a layer of spider skin left." I clarified before agreeing, "I also understand the principle of sharing weal and woe."

Toby smiled gently, because both of his hands were dirty, he touched my forehead with his forehead.

For the time being, it was a head rub.

"I know.

I know you, I know who you are. "Toby answered me without holding back," You're the only one I trust.

I hope you're the one standing behind me. "

This wasn't nonsense.

We've known each other since we were young, it's just a matter of whether you believe me or not.

I guess on the other hand, it was also because Toby trusted my fighting skills.

If I wanted to be his secretary, I wouldn't die under a tower in two or three moves if I didn't have any fighting skills.

All the girls who have dated Spider-man have experienced the misfortune of falling from a tower. Look at M.J., look at Gwynn, and even Ritz …

When we were in our second year of high school, Peter started dating Ritz.

I didn't have any opinions about this.

In fact, the situation was that they had already broken up when I found out about this …?

.

I saw that Peter didn't seem to be very sad, so I didn't pay much attention to him and continued with my work.

Speaking of this, I got angry.

The three of them thought it was someone who allowed them to have free time to date.

Damn it, it was me!

Later, Gwynn also broke up with Andrew.

The official reason was that Gwynn was going to England to study at a research institute.

As for the real reason, we all knew in our hearts that they couldn't go on.

No one was bad.

Even I liked Gwynn.

Gwynn was so great.

Andrew was also great, but …

Gwynn didn't want to date Spider-man.

She couldn't stand it.

It might be cruel to say this, because I didn't understand how Peter and I were Spider-man at the same time, how could it be a problem in a relationship?

I only discussed this part with Toby in private.

In light of this, fortunately or unfortunately?

At the time, Andrew and Peter were both depressed from their breakup …

"Maybe it's because you've always been by our side." Toby was deep in thought, trying to find a reasonable answer to my question. "You can keep up with us.

I mean, really keep up with us.

You know what we're doing, what we're going to do, what we might encounter, and you chose to join us. "

I originally wanted to say, "Isn't my status similar to Aunt Mei's?"

When I heard the last sentence, I wanted to roll my eyes.

"I'm not sure, but it seems that Gwynn at least tried to join us, right?" I couldn't understand. "It's Andrew who doesn't want her to …"

"That's the problem." Toby quickly interrupted me.

I glared at Toby coldly, still holding the company's new testing machine in my hand.

"It's too late, Toto, too late.

Only your girlfriend's life is valuable, right? Only your girlfriend should be protected on the tower, right? What's the big deal about the neighbor next door, right?

Right. "

Toby laughed dryly and quickly changed the topic.

"Do you want to give me the testing machine?"

When Andrew and Gwynn broke up, I also stopped thinking about Andrew.

To be honest, I didn't have much left.

It was the two sentences I exchanged with Toby that made me think it through completely.

See?

Toby dared to put me in the closest place to him because he needed someone he could trust.

It sounds great, but he would definitely protect Aunt Mei at home (let's not talk about the broken up ex-girlfriend).

Andrew would call me and ask me to help out a little.

He wasn't afraid of me getting close to the crime scene.

Seeing how I sometimes took down the robbers faster than him – the funniest thing was, when other bad guys saw my face and heard who I was, they put down their guns and went home. They said they couldn't mess with me, and they didn't want to mess with a whole bar of supervillains at once.

Peter didn't even need to be mentioned.

He became more and more dependent on me.

In the first and second year of high school, he was more or less tactful, but in the second year of high school, he was simply crazy.

In class, I helped him sign in, and wrote two copies of the after-class report. Michel and Nede occasionally couldn't stand it, so I waved my hand to tell them to stop talking.

It seems like that was the time.

I vaguely realized that maybe I actually liked Peter, but I always … didn't know?

Parker Industries quickly got on track and debuted as a dark horse in the center position.

Originally.

Toby was a good person, Tony Stark appreciated him, Chili Pepper and Toby were friends of the same grade, and now Chili Pepper worked for Stark.

Osborne Industries didn't need to be explained.

Star City and Wayne Enterprises, I wasn't too sure, I guessed that it might be the uniforms that made them friends.

The company was expanding rapidly and was in urgent need of talent.

Toby gave me the business card of the CEO's secretary and asked me to go out and scare people. He gave me a black card and said I could use it as I pleased.

I usually used that card when I invited people to dinner.
