I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

Chapter 19 The professor's great idea is to pick up Gwen in a sports car

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the sunshine of New York City is shining on every corner of the city, from the abandoned slums where Gwen Stacy lives to the high-end rich and poor where Professor Raymond Xu lives. In the crowded area, almost everyone is comfortably bathed in the warm sunshine at the turn of spring and summer in New York.

Professor Xu is particularly comfortable. He is now lying on his 1.8-meter wide bed, looking up at the luxuriously decorated ceiling, with his right hand naturally resting on the soft bed, and his left hand touching the soft quilt cover.The professor's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth grinned, as if he was very happy with his achievements in the past few days.

Yeah, Spider-Woman Gwen Stacy joined his lab, and Pepper Potts saw him as a pillar of the company after Tony disappeared, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence extended an olive branch to him … Not only that, he also responded to Obadiah Stein, the bearded clown who jumped up and cursed people from time to time with "Fcuk you", and took revenge for being oppressed and exploited for so many years.

Next, I just need to wait for Tony Stark to return from Afghanistan in the C-17 transport plane, meet him with Pepper, and then attend the press conference where Tony announced the disbandment of the weapons research and development department.The downfall of Obadiah will inevitably lead to a magnitude [-] earthquake in Stark Industries. At that time, there will be many positions that can be chosen by oneself.

On weekdays, the professor who is like a salted fish turned over like a carp today, happily changed into his nightgown, washed, cooked and had breakfast, and picked out a brand new linen suit that was just ironed, ready for today’s surprise:

Yes, this is the first day that Gwen Stacy came to work under him - the professor not only expects that the slim and fit ESU goddess can inject a new style into the laboratory, but also hopes that Gwen's arrival will make everyone feel better. Those rough guys who pick the dead skin on their feet and touch the keyboard and mouse without washing their hands should restrain themselves.

Save yourself from having to hold your own keyboard and mouse when you go to work on other computers!
So, in order to be in a good mood today and in the future, and to express his welcome to Gwen's willingness to join the laboratory, Raymond Xu decided to make an exception and personally pick up Miss Spider to his laboratory.

The professor took the elevator down to the underground garage, and chose among his three cars. The white Audi S8 had just been seen by the protest team in the school, and it was not suitable to appear recently; the Toyota FJ Cruiser was too tough, it seemed An atmosphere suitable for picking up beautiful girls by yourself.Then, there is only...

The professor squinted his eyes with a smile, and cast his eyes on the two-seater sports car painted in dark blue. Although Nathan often complained that this sports car was too upstart aesthetic, it has always been Professor Xu's favorite.

Therefore, on the streets of the Bronx in the early morning, a blue-painted Chevrolet Corvette C6 rushed through the dilapidated streets. One glance, and everyone knows that there is another big guy who can't be messed with in this block.

Even the gangs that usually rule the roost in the lower-class neighborhoods don't dare to provoke a "high-class guy" who drives a high-end sports car in the daytime, otherwise, no one can stand the NYPD coming to the door.

It's not the first time for Raymond Xu to come to the abandoned districts dotted with New York City, but every time he comes here, he still feels that human society is about to come to an end.There is an M9 pistol on the dashboard of the professor's car, and another on the passenger seat. This kind of preparation is always inevitable when you come here.

When driving through buildings and factories that have been in disrepair, the professor can't help admiring the large graffiti.These grotesque graffiti are illogical at first glance, but they are ingeniously designed upon closer inspection, showing the vitality of the painter—the vitality that grows extensively in such a barbaric world.

Life will always find a way to sustain itself, to overcome all disadvantages, to smash through all despairs.

The professor looking at the graffiti thought of this sentence, and the light in his eyes softened instantly, as if he had seen the vigorous vitality in the girl again—this was completely different from his depression and lifelessness.Gwen's cheerfulness, enthusiasm and sunshine towards the world made the 40-year-old Raymond, who hangs out with 50-year-old researchers and 24-year-old professors all day long, feel that he has regained his 20-year-old youthful atmosphere that should belong to him.

On the side of the road, two Latino gangsters who had been beaten into a daze had just been let off from the street lamp, and they were telling others the story that they tried to rob a girl last night, and then passed out somehow.The two uneducated gangsters and the gang members around them explained for a long time, but they couldn't explain what happened.

Then the professor saw the little leader of the gang give an order, and several Latinos rushed up together, kicked the two unlucky guys to the ground, and punched and kicked them.Seeing the scene of the two with bruised noses and swollen faces, the professor beamed with joy, adding fuel to his good mood today.

When he turned his head and was about to continue looking for the blond girl, suddenly, the window next to him was knocked loudly.Shocked, the professor grabbed the pistol on the vice seat, only to find that it was Gwen with a speechless face—the girl's lips were tightly closed and stretched to both sides, obviously showing a helpless expression.

For some unknown reason, the professor opened the car door and let Gwen Stacy sit in.The girl kept a helpless expression, fastened her seat belt in an orderly manner, and waited for the car to drive before complaining:
"Raymond, there is a big gap between your aesthetics of cars and your age."

"What do you mean?" The professor tapped the steering wheel with his finger, and didn't immediately understand what Miss Spider said.

"That means you are greasy!" Gwen said out of breath.

"Greasy?" Raymond, who hadn't had much contact with women of the same age, was still puzzled, "Did I not wash my face today?"

For the first time, Gwen, who is always expressive and has a pair of bright blue eyes, doesn't know how to arrange her facial features in response to the professor's lack of self-knowledge.The girl's "helplessness" froze on her face, and it was so thick that it was about to overflow.She explained word by word:
"Drove a high-end sports car with a bad paint job to the slums in the morning, wandered around several times looking for someone, as if wishing everyone knew that you were rich——"

Gwen's brows frowned inward, and then raised up: "Are you showing off to me?"

———Gwen’s furious dividing line———

Professor Xu glanced at Gwen Stacy, who was hugging her chest angrily and not saying a word, with an embarrassed expression on her face—he didn't expect that his attention would turn into showing off in the eyes of the girl.After thinking about it, he decided to break the silence first: "You...Professor Octavius ​​hasn't made things difficult for you recently, has he?"

Gwen Stacy ignored Raymond next to her. The girl just hugged her chest and looked down at her thighs. Her blond hair just hid the curve of her side face, making Raymond next to her very uncomfortable. Difficult to see his profile.

Gwen's downcast eyes were filled with boredom, and the scene of the professor watching the car swaying around his house over and over again came to mind in the morning—why didn't he find that these men with careers were so annoying, like peacocks spreading their tails, a bit Bad money wants to let the whole world know.

Gwen herself is not a character who particularly cares about money, and she also hates to use money to distinguish people, races, and classes—Miss Spider thinks that is often the root cause of crimes, so Raymond's behavior only makes his heart Sensitive teenage girls get bored.

Although that was not the professor's original intention - he drove a luxury car, more just to show his importance to Gwen.

After a long time, Gwen said indifferently: "Are you really from a parallel universe?"

"Yes, of course." Raymond chose his words carefully. He began to imagine that he was just a character in a movie, a comic, or a novel—but he finally realized that it was a terrible thing. Everything is pre-determined.

Thinking of this, the professor glanced at Gwen next to her. The girl has an independent personality and a strong will. This kind of person can't bear that she might be a "comic character".

"Why do you know about me...?" Gwen tried hard to suppress her surging complex emotions—she was used to this, the girl just faced the car window with that indifferent face that everyone was used to, Asked word by word, the voice was as clear as an announcer.

"I saw it when I traveled through the parallel universe." Professor Xu thought over and over again, and finally told a lie. He really didn't want to say such a cruel thing.

Gwen gave him a sideways glance. The smart girl could naturally guess that the professor was hiding something, but she didn't intend to continue asking. Although Raymond has a conceited side, he is also patient, gentle and understands how to take care of people's emotions. On the one hand, if he doesn't say anything, there must be a reason why he doesn't say it.

"Then..." Gwen Stacy, who has always been decisive and decisive, couldn't help but hesitate when asking this question, "Did you meet my dad during your trip? Is he okay?"

"Supervisor George Stacey?" Raymond looked up and to the right, as if he was thinking.When Gwen was restless and thought there would be some bad news, Raymond spoke again: "He... probably misses you very much, and his life is very decadent."

Gwen felt her heart ache again, she always wanted to take care of everything, but when she found that she couldn't, she could only escape some of them-of course she wanted her father's love, attention and understanding , but every time she thinks of the reality that this hope will not be obtained, and it will even bring harm to the people she cares about, her heart will ache to the bone.

"Are you okay?" Raymond noticed the low pressure in the air in the car and Gwen beside him lowered his head, and asked with concern: "Actually, he's okay, he just misses you very much, can you take care of him?" By himself, he will be very happy."

"Thank you." Gwen lowered her head and muttered to herself, "But I didn't take care of myself either."

"What you have accomplished, if it were done by me, or anyone else, it would not be better." Raymond wanted to free his hand to rub Gwen's golden hair, but in the end he didn't do anything. Just continued: "Sometimes you just need someone to share the load with."

　In fact, I'm to blame for delaying the plot. The first big plot has undergone several operations, and it has just been finalized recently.But once settled, it can be expanded quickly.
