Crossing With the Ball

Chapter 5

We don't have to go against money. That's what they say.

Talent brings business opportunities. That's what they say too.

I didn't argue with Zuckerberg too much, but half an hour later, I received a call from Caroline.

"Hahaha, my God, Xiaonan!

Well done! "

I wanted to say that I didn't argue much.

But that probably wasn't the truth for the other party.

So I said, "It doesn't count if I don't argue with you to death."

Caroline laughed loudly.

Her laughter was like a magic sound to my brain.

I held the phone away from me and turned to see Peter behind me. He had changed back into his normal clothes and was watching me talk on the phone.

"You know, Zuckerberg was so angry that he almost made you a facemash!

A version just for you!

Then I heard that the whole dorm colluded with Savelin to convince him not to offend the future investor. "Caroline talked non-stop with her loud voice.

At this time, I couldn't tell at all that Caroline was a young lady from a prestigious family. I couldn't tell at all.

"That's so funny, dear. Max said she's going to make you a basket of cakes!

For free! "

Max's voice sounded in the background.

"I didn't say it was for free!

Caroline! "

I rolled my eyes in the air.

"Yes, it's not for free. I'll pay for it, okay?

You two are poor, so poor that you'll be caught by ghosts.

Especially you, Caroline. You didn't tell me that guy was your high school ex-boyfriend! "

Caroline felt guilty.

She immediately changed the subject.

"Dustin said that you broke off the date because of Parker!

Which Parker!

The youngest one again?

"Nan Nan, you can't do this. Didn't we agree on this? Our slogan is!

Du Jue Brokenhearted!

Du Parker! "

I gasped. Caroline had a big mouth. What kind of slogan was that? Don't shout nonsense. I had Parker next to me, and he had the best hearing.

Thus, I quickly changed the topic and said, "What are you talking about?

I'm going into the elevator.

I'll get the cake later, dear! "Then he hung up and sent a short message to Max – 'Teach the one next to you a lesson!

If you help me, I'll treat you to a drink next time. "

Do you think I don't have any moves?

I snorted in my heart.

Caroline wants to win against me? Haha.

Peter watched from the side the whole time.

As soon as I sent the message, he immediately asked, "Du Jue what Parker?"

Here it comes!

I knew this would happen.

"Anyway, it's not Du Jue." I wanted to avoid the topic.

"Cut it out.

How many Parker's do you know? "Peter wouldn't let me escape.

"More than you think.

Anyway, it really wasn't you. "I wanted to salvage the situation.

Then, Peter blocked me at the entrance of the alley.

"You have to tell me who you and Caroline are trying to eliminate," he said seriously.

It was like he was confronting a robber at the entrance of a supermarket in the middle of the night. "It can't be Toby. You work for Toby. It can't be Andy. You love him the most. You never give up …"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I raised my hand and pushed Peter's shoulder with the front of my right hand, neither lightly nor heavily.

"What are you doing?

Don't question me, Peter.

I haven't given up on Andy. I haven't held you accountable for ruining my date again!

Don't act like a spoiled child. Hurry up and go to class. "

Peter stared straight at me.

To be honest, even Andrew wasn't immune to Peter's pet dog gaze. With this gaze, Peter had traveled all over the world without fail.

It was a cheap trick.

"That wasn't a date.

He didn't even treat you to a coke! "

Peter gesticulated with a dramatic expression. "That was just another one of your business meetings!"

I should be angry.

But I laughed.

"You're an idiot." I patted Peter's shoulder again.

It was the kind of game where you would only play with people you were very familiar with.

"Stop fooling around. Hurry up and go to class."

"You are.

If you don't take attendance, the professor will pawn you, "Peter said as he went to get his bicycle.

I really wanted to ask why the thief didn't steal Peter's bicycle as well.

I really wanted to ask.

Compared to backpack sneakers … Oh, maybe not as expensive as backpack sneakers.

I forgot that Peter was wearing Nike Jordans.

"No, I have a meeting today." I really wanted to know how many times I had to repeat my itinerary today.

Unexpectedly, Peter picked me up without any warning and put me on the back seat of his bicycle without saying a word.

I was caught off guard and didn't sit properly, so I missed the best opportunity to jump off.

"I'll take you to class!" Peter's voice was bright and cheerful, "Hold on tight!

Madam, you're welcome to ride the Little Spider Express that only runs once a day! "

My screams echoed in downtown New York.

"I don't want to ride the Little Spider Express!

Put me down! "

Here's the thing.

I work at Parker Industries and I work for Toby. Basically, no one in the company can order me around except for Toby.

That doesn't sound reasonable.

So what I mean is – I'll listen to the other supervisors' reasonable suggestions.

If it's unreasonable, I'll fight back.

The whole company knows that I'm the captain of Toby's personal guard.

If one day Toby decided to form an army of spiders, I would most likely be the leader of the army.

No matter how you look at it, Toby doted on me a lot.

I always strive to make Toby's love for me more than worth it. Because I know that nothing comes without a price. Just like my current guardian can't really take care of me for free.

Maybe Toby isn't that kind of person.

Maybe Parker isn't that kind of person.

Because of that?

No, no, no.

That's not what I'm talking about.

So here's the thing –

… Damn.

Why do I like Peter Parker?!

Many of my close female friends have expressed their thoughts on the subject of my ghost-like relationship.

Not just once.

It happened again and again.

Every time I see it.

Previously: Chili Pepper, Caroline, and Max are roommates.

That means, they laugh at me every day.

It's not fun at all.

I'm serious.

At first, I probably thought it was a bit funny, but now I suspect it's Max's unintentional curse, and the three of them have changed from playful ridicule to compassionate concern.

After all, it's really rare for someone as miserable as me to fall out of love with three brothers.

Chili Pepper has a large apartment, a two-story intelligent house. Stark Enterprises contracted the entire building, from the beginning to the end.

Chili Pepper lives here because it's an employee apartment provided by Stark Enterprises.

I live here because Chili Pepper's combat strength is extremely low, and we can complement each other.

Caroline and Max live here because … they're poor, poor!

They can't afford to rent an apartment in New York!

God knows where their pile of bills came from.

Caroline was very rich before her family declared bankruptcy.

Chili Pepper is the best landlord in the world.

She doesn't charge rent.

And the nepotism between the four of us is as follows:

Chili Pepper and Toby were classmates and good friends in university, so Chili Pepper dotes on me.

Caroline and Andrew were classmates and good friends in high school, so Caroline insults me.

Max is Caroline's best friend after she fell on hard times, and they started a small cake business together.

I'm Max's financial backer.

Because as long as there's a company meeting, I'll order a small cake for her as a snack.

Isn't it easy to understand?

The basic rules in this dorm are: Chili Pepper is a bit of a neat freak, and she wants everything to be neat.

I'm the youngest, and my combat strength is guaranteed to be the highest.

King of Screams Caroline.

King of Screams Max.

To be fair, the first two don't have to do housework, because we provide the house and car.

Before moving into the girls' dorm, I've been doing housework for about ten years, and I feel like the hard times are over.

Every Friday and Saturday, we usually relax a bit.

The so-called 'a bit' here means, the most relaxing time. Max called over some hot and handsome firefighters from somewhere, the indecent kind, the kind that doesn't wear proper clothes, and said they're going to put out our fire.

Note, guys, plural, a group.

Chili Pepper was about to explode, I feel like her fire might not be the kind that Max described …

As for me, I didn't feel anything from beginning to end, and I even wanted to laugh.

It's really funny.

Look at them jumping around like dogs.

Something even funnier came!

When those hot and handsome guys were about to do something to us, that is, when two of them seemed to have their eyes on me, a Spider-man suddenly broke in through the window!

I was astonished. Everyone was astonished.

The most shocking thing is that the hot and handsome guys thought Peter was their cute colleague, even though Max repeatedly clarified that she really was?

Really?

She really didn't call over a Spider-man …

In the end, the matter came to an end with the spider silk on the wall, the hot and handsome guys on the spider silk, and Peter's continuous apologies and some reparations.

I guess that solved all the problems for the time being.
