After a round of testing with their own ulterior motives, the two decided to quit while they were ahead. Soon, they nodded at the same time and went to participate in other activities.
According to the customs of the United States, a party does not have a specific end time, and it is often determined according to each party's arrangements.
Generally speaking, those men and women who hit it off quickly are always the first to slip away because they will immediately move on to other projects.
Those who are not progressing well leave last, because they need the help of alcohol to eliminate the barriers between people and inspire the courage to find those of the opposite sex who are also waiting. Then they complete the intense feat in intoxication, and finally escape in the mess of the early morning with blushes on their faces.
Those in the middle are those who are not very keen on this, or are more conservative. They are often the worst off, as they are the atmosphere group of the party, and sometimes they need to clean up silently before they can go home.
Obviously, Lynn and Peter Parker are this third type of people.
Oh no, only Lynn is that kind of person.
Lynn dragged the drunk Hughes from the garden to the living room on the first floor, then picked up her backpack and slipped away amid the disappointed and resentful gazes of the girls.
During this process, he happened to find Peter Parker chatting with a tanned girl. It was obvious that this girl was the legendary MJ, the Spider-Man heroine who captured the little bug.
It seemed that they were still in the ambiguous period, so Lin En did not disturb them and walked around carefully.
But all this could not escape Peter Parker's eyes. Although his heart was with MJ, he always kept Lynn in his sight.
"Hey, Peter, I'm asking you a question!" MJ pursed her lips when she saw Peter Parker's eyes drifting away.
"Oh, MJ, go on, I just..."
"Did you see the beautiful lady just now?" MJ smiled, turned around and looked, but found that there was no one there.
"Oh, MJ, the beauty is not there, the beauty is right in front of me, okay..."
Peter Parker finally got the idea for once.
…
In the following days, Lynn was uneasy.
He was always worried that a masked guy would be hanging upside down on the curtain wall of a building, observing his every move with a telescope; or that he would suddenly appear in front of him from the sky and say he wanted to expose his true identity.
His worries are not without reason.
On the third day after the party, Lynn was on his way home from school as usual, and he actually ran into Peter Parker.
To be precise, he met Spider-Man.
"Sir? Do you remember me?" Peter Parker became extremely talkative after putting on the Spider-suit.
"Oh, how strange, it turns out to be our good neighbor, the great hero of New York, the famous Spider-Boy." Lynn was speechless. This guy really came to find him.
"Why, are you here this time to verify whether I am a law-abiding citizen?"
"You're half right." Spider-Man crouched on the roof, looking at Lynn below.
"So what's your conclusion?"
"I followed those mutant creatures again. They don't seem to be related to you, but point somewhere else."
"Thank God, you proved my innocence." Lynn was very satisfied with the conclusion.
"What about the other half?"
"Hugh—" Upon hearing this, Peter Parker put down the spider silk, quickly fell from the roof, and hung upside down in front of Lynn.
"I need your help."
Help? Lynn was a little confused. He and Peter Parker had only met a few times, so why would he ask for help
"What a dramatic turn of events... How can you be sure that I will help you?"
"First of all, you killed the worm, which means you are at least not against me."
"Well, that's true, but it doesn't explain the problem. Then what?"
"You were the one who helped me stop the train at Central Gardens subway station last week."
"Huh? I'm not. I didn't." Lynn refused instinctively.
"Oh, really? That day I investigated the scene and found that I couldn't stop the train with my own strength. After a careful inspection, I found that the end of the train's carriage had magically expanded a lot, relying on the friction with the wall to provide the force in the opposite direction of the train—"
"It sounds amazing, but how can it involve me? This reason is not sufficient."
"Oh, that's not enough, but I quickly remembered the first time I met you, you said you killed the worm, but I've seen what a worm explodes like - oh God, I really don't want to remember this -" Peter Parker began to talk nonstop.
"But you burned the worm into a pile of ashes. To be more precise, it was a small pile of ashes. How could such a big worm be left with only this much ashes?"
"You must have some magical power to change the size of objects at will."
No, no, no, the ability you are talking about is Ant-Man's. My power is more complicated than this... Lynn complained after listening to Peter Parker's analysis, but he had to admire his observation and logical abilities. These were indeed related.
"Maybe others can do it..." Lynn continued to try to deny it.
"OK, actually, I also read the news report. Some of the passengers saw a black-haired person. Let me think, besides me, who else would unexpectedly appear underground in New York now? Oh, it's you."
Peter Parker snapped his fingers and ended his proof.
"It's all speculation..."
"Guess what I found? A fingernail..."
“What a difficult guy…” Lynn looked down at his left hand, where soft nails had just grown. He sighed and found that he couldn’t deny it any longer.
He didn't expect that his wish to be a mysterious man would be shattered so quickly.
"Okay, okay, even if you are right, why did you come to me for help? I mean, you can ask Iron Man, Captain America, Doctor Strange or others, they are much more powerful." Lin En was very puzzled.
"Hey man, this is the problem. They don't seem to want me to get involved in this matter. I have to find some outside help!" Peter Parker said in an annoyed tone.
"Damn, I won't help you with this. Do you want me to stand against the Avengers?" Lin En took a few steps back unconsciously.
What could possibly make Iron Man and his team hide this from Xiao Chong, and even prevent him from investigating? It must not be that simple!
"No, no, no. They just didn't let me investigate, but they didn't say they didn't allow others to investigate. Since you've been to the underground so many times, you must be as interested in this matter as I am, right?"
Actually, no, I was just thrown out by some magical house... Lin En complained in his heart.
"I said, it was just an accidental passing."
"Oh..." Xiao Chong felt a little disappointed after hearing this.
"Are you really not going to investigate? A lot of people have disappeared in New York recently. They should have been having dinner with their families happily, but they just disappeared strangely."
“Since we have the power to do these things, why not try it?”
Peter Parker now seems to be talking to himself more.
When Lynn saw this scene, he actually felt a little touched. To be honest, his rejection of Peter Parker just now was more due to his competitive spirit, not because he was afraid or unwilling to do anything.
Maybe he can step out of his comfort zone.
"I know that sentence."
"The greater the power..."
Lynn spoke slowly and held out his hand to Spider-Man.
Although he himself was not very fond of this sentence, he admired the other party's consistent style.
The little spider's neck trembled, and he seemed to grin under the mask and continued with this sentence.
“With great responsibility comes great responsibility!”
