"In front of us?"
The young man Hank mentioned looked at Xia Zhiye with confusion: "Are you a guest? Hello, my name is Scott Lang, nice to meet you."
The woman patted her forehead helplessly, while Hank laughed and said to Xia Zhiye, "What do you think?"
"Very energetic." Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "You can call me 'Xia'."
Knowing that it was not easy to explain his name clearly in the mouths of these people, Xia Zhiye simply kept it brief.
"I've never heard that my father has a friend like you." Hank's daughter Hope Van Dyne looked at Xia Zhiye with a distrustful look, and then looked at her father. She obviously didn't understand why such a person would appear in her family at such a time.
Hank stood up and said to Hope, "Come with me."
Scott was about to say something when Hank glared at him: "You stay here."
The father and daughter went upstairs in a flash. Scott shrugged helplessly at Xia Zhiye and said, "You see, people always get bad-tempered when they get old, right?"
Xia Zhiye did not agree with this. After all, a guy who was always called an "old man" was obviously not qualified to talk about this issue.
So, he just smiled and didn't respond.
"What is your relationship with him? Oh, maybe this question is a bit presumptuous, but I'm just curious." Scott said, "I always thought he was just a lonely old man with quirks. I didn't expect that he had a friend as young as you."
Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "He once helped me."
"So that's how it is." Scott nodded and said, "He also helped me, although I didn't know until the end that it was all designed by him."
"It doesn't sound like a pleasant memory?" Xia Zhiye asked.
"In short, it's quite challenging." Scott nodded seriously.
Xia Zhiye asked with amusement: "But now it seems that you are not bad."
"I can only say that I am still very useful." Scott asked, "What do you do for a living?"
Scott was just chatting casually and didn't think about what this question would lead to, but he didn't expect Xia Zhiye to say, "Superhero."
"Oh, I know superheroes, the income is not bad... um..."
The force of inertia made him speak without hesitation, but he was confused when he said this: "Superhero?"
"Yeah." Xia Zhiye nodded: "It's the kind of thing where we fight the villains all day long, you hit me, I hit you, protecting the peace of the earth and mankind, so that people can enjoy peace and prosperity, and have the leisure and energy to sigh, 'There is no such thing as a peaceful life, it's just that someone is carrying the burden for us'."
"… "
Scott didn't know how to respond, and the topic suddenly became quite awkward.
Xia Zhiye looked at him with amusement: "Is there anything else you want to know?"
"This... that's all." Scott waved his hands quickly, and then couldn't help asking, "Which superhero are you..."
"Guess." Xia Zhiye did not answer, but asked back.
“… You know I’m not someone who likes to be deceived.”
"Very good. I don't like to deceive others." Xia Zhiye stood up and said, "In fact, Hank told me that he has a young man who needs training, so he asked me for help. So... Come on, let me see how far you have come."
"Here?" Scott looked around, then shook his head and said, "If you break something, you have to pay for it."
"That at least proves that you have the ability to break things." Xia Zhiye said, "But now, you haven't shown the corresponding strength."
"Huh?" Scott was angry. Even if he was really a superhero, he couldn't talk like that!
Why can't I just break things
He stood up, took off his coat, stretched his arms and said, "A woman taught me how to punch. She is meddling in other people's business. In fact, I have been in prison for three years. I know how to punch. Facing a woman, I can't always use my full strength, but facing you... You'd better be mentally prepared for everything, because next, you will be lying on the ground!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a punch had already landed on Xia Zhiye's face...
…
…
When Hank and Hope went downstairs, they found Xia Zhiye still sitting there drinking tea, and Scott was lying on the ground, unconscious.
Hank blinked and said, "It seems that you already know his extent?"
"Very weak." Xia Zhiye said, "I don't know how far he can go with your Ant-Man suit, but in his current state... any accident could cost him his life."
Hearing this, Hope couldn't help but say, "He's not as bad as you said. The reason he was knocked down by you was just because he hadn't put on that suit yet."
When they were upstairs, Hank had already explained Xia Ye's identity to Hope.
I knew that the man in front of me with an Asian face was the instructor who had appeared so suddenly.
But I didn’t take it too seriously.
To put it bluntly, the only time Xia Zhiye was active as an instructor in the public eye was when Loki attacked the Earth.
Apart from this, he either acted in secret or was outside the earth. Although he was quite famous in the universe, he had become invisible on earth.
Even though the identity of the "instructor" at that time seemed to be inextricably linked to the "instructor" who was active on the battlefield that year, as long as they did not appear in the public eye for a few years, people would completely forget these names.
This kind of memory not only makes it easy for humans to forget names, but also makes it easy for them to forget lessons.
After hearing what Hope said, Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "So, as long as you have that set of clothes, anyone can do the same thing?"
"This is different," Hope said. "He has talent, too."
"But you're still not working hard enough." Xia Zhiye waved his hand: "I don't intend to argue with you, because it's meaningless to me."
Before Hope could say anything, Hank spoke up, "The instructor has agreed to help train Scott. This is an unprecedented opportunity for him, because as far as he can remember, the only person the instructor has ever taught is Captain America!"
Hope was speechless for a moment, shook his head and closed his mouth.
Summer night was a bit confusing. He didn't know why Hank's woman was so aggressive... This aggression was not just directed at him, but also at Hank and Scott.
