The next day, the sun was shining and the sky was clear.
Three Rolls-Royces were parked outside the Central High School. They were the vehicles that were coming to pick up Peter and others to take to the hotel.
Ned and the others were very excited as soon as they got in the car. They didn't expect that this trip, ah bah, was to attend an event, which was even more high-end than they had imagined. The cars used to pick them up were all top luxury cars like Rolls-Royce, and they would stay in a five-star hotel. This treatment was really one of a kind, and ordinary people probably won't be able to experience it in their lifetime!
Mr. Harrington, who had worked with Principal Morita and became the team leader, felt that his life had reached its peak. Even though he kept a stern face and tried to pretend that he was not excited as a teacher, his sharply upturned mouth corners and shining eyes had already betrayed his uneasy heart.
After arriving at the five-star hotel, someone took them on a brief tour and reminded them of some rules, such as that they could not go to certain places during the meeting and that they could not leave at will within the week. Finally, they were led to their respective luxurious rooms.
Along the way, Ned and the others were amazed again and again, just like those country bumpkins who had never seen the world and came to the city for the first time.
In fact, it is true. Among these people, except for the rich second-generation Lightning, no one else has ever stayed in such a high-end hotel.
Oh, by the way, Peter is also an exception. Tony didn't treat him badly when he went to Germany, or Tony didn't care about this little money at all. It was all basic operation.
"This place is simply amazing! See? There are three swimming pools alone!"
"The pretty lady who showed us around just now said that all the entertainment venues in the hotel are open to us for free. I plan to have a good time this time, otherwise I may never have this opportunity again in my life!"
"Don't get too carried away, Ned! Don't forget that we still have meetings to sit in on and we need to prepare for the Academic Decathlon quiz competition. We're not here to have fun!"
"I know, but we can still use the rest of the time as we please, right? Don't tell me you're going to stay in your room and study for these seven days."
“Studying is definitely necessary, but you also need to combine work and rest.”
"It is always said that knowledge is wealth. Today I finally understand the meaning of this sentence."
When everyone else gathered together and excitedly discussed where to go and what to eat for dinner, Liz noticed Peter's absent-mindedness, and took the initiative to walk over and asked casually:
"What's wrong, Peter? You look so unhappy. Don't you like it here?"
"Hey, Liz, I'm not unhappy, in fact I'm very happy... I just... I just suddenly feel a little uncomfortable." Peter first pretended to be very happy, but then he retreated instantly in the face of Liz's smiling eyes and told the truth.
When a person has aspirations and works madly towards a goal, even the most comfortable and luxurious living environment will only make them feel uncomfortable and seem a little out of place.
Apparently, this is the case with Peter now.
On the one hand, he came here to see Mr. Stark, and on the other hand, he felt lost because he could no longer transform into Spider-Man and fight crime bravely.
Rather than having 'ordinary' wishes like getting into a good university and finding a good job, he wants to be a superhero like the Avengers and protect the world!
But I couldn't tell Liz and the others about these things in my heart, so I was very depressed.
Seeing Peter's depressed look, Lizzie, overflowing with maternal love, first burst out laughing, then gently held Peter's hand and said, "Peter, although I don't know you very well, I can see that you put too much pressure on yourself. But you have to know one thing, sometimes wanting to do something too well and over-exerting yourself will only bring counterproductive effects. Appropriate relaxation can relieve your stress and irritability. I think Mr. Stark is also looking forward to your future."
is that so
Thinking back to how he had been impatient to prove himself during this period, Peter seemed to have figured something out.
"Thank you, Liz. You're right. No matter what you do, you have to take it one step at a time. I was too impatient."
"Just think it over. Are you still going to withdraw from the Academic Decathlon Quiz Competition?"
"Of course not. I want to win the championship for you...you."
Although Peter changed his words in time, Liz still blushed and said casually, "Then you should let me go."
"Ah? Ah! I'm sorry, I... I... I..."
Peter looked down and found that he had taken the initiative and was holding Liz's hand tightly. This made his face turn red and he quickly let go.
Seeing his silly look, Liz, who had some affection for him, burst out laughing again, thus defusing the awkwardness.
"We're all going swimming together tonight, do you want to come?"
swim
Peter subconsciously glanced at Liz, imagining how beautiful she would look in a swimsuit, and felt his nose itchy.
"But I didn't bring my swimming trunks."
"This is a five-star hotel, this kind of small thing should be easy to do." Liz said nonchalantly. At the same time, she was still struggling with which swimsuit to change into today and whether she should choose a more conservative one.
In the United States, teenagers generally mature early, and they develop very well at the age of 14 or 15, especially girls.
On the other hand, Peter, who is so thin, looks more immature, like a child.
Just as everyone was chattering, Mr. Harrington, who had disappeared for a while, brought in a very handsome stranger.
"Pah! Pah! Everyone, be quiet. This is Mr. JOJO, the person in charge of this academic exchange conference. He has a few words to tell everyone."
"Hello, students. Because the people attending this academic exchange conference are all very important figures in various fields, in order to avoid trouble and some accidents, you can only move around inside the hotel for the next 7 days. Of course, this is not house arrest or anything like that, but for safety and confidentiality considerations. I hope you don't misunderstand."
"If you have to leave due to special circumstances, you must inform us in advance. You cannot leave without permission. If something goes wrong, there will be very serious consequences. I hope you will keep this in mind."
The words that Mr. JOJO said after he came in made everyone nervous, but also a little excited.
It’s really impressive, isn’t it
You'll have plenty to brag about when you get back, at least for a year!
