I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

Chapter 59 The Turning Point

Gwen Stacy raised her head abruptly, only to see Raymond Xu's strange eyes—she seemed to be unable to find the enthusiasm, the hope, or even the passion in his eyes. In the past, when he looked at himself, he always carried the warmth.

The warmth that she once enjoyed but wanted to leave, until it disappeared and found that she couldn't live without...

The girl tried to wipe her eyes that were blurred by tears with her hands, and eagerly saw her familiar mentor again, but found that after fate fell, the familiar shell had been burned away by pain, leaving only the cold strangeness.

Today, Raymond is wearing a navy blue suit, and the custom-made suit shows the professor's tall and straight figure even more.He put his gold-rimmed glasses back on, and his hair was slicked back and gelled.Looking at Gwen Stacy's eyes was cold, as if they had never known each other.

The girl spoke softly, and there was still a trace of expectation in her inquiry—or maybe it was her last trace of reluctance:

"Why... are you going to meet Jin Bing's secretary and adopted daughter... what are you doing?"

Raymond responded to Gwen with sarcasm and sarcasm—a tone he would never have used on himself.The professor replied in a very businesslike manner:

"You speak the law, don't you, Miss Spider?"

Gwen didn't nod, but pursed her lips even more tightly and frowned deeply:
"Wilson Fisk, is a famous businessman, philanthropist, founder of the Fisk Charity Fund, sponsor of many United States Congressmen and Senators, one of the important collaborators of Stark Industries, and..."

Raymond picked up the ending, which fully showed the professor's frivolity and indifference to her questioning: "Candidate for mayor of New York City, right?"

Spider-Woman, who was holding a white mask in her hand, did not answer his question, but lowered her head even more, waiting for Raymond to give the final judgment on her and their relationship:
"Excuse me, Ms. Spider, is there any law that says I can't have three meals and three movies with the adopted daughter of a famous businessman, philanthropist, Senate sponsor, and New York City mayoral candidate?"

After all, Raymond looked at Gwen who lowered his head aggressively, as if pushing the blond girl into a corner still couldn't relieve his anger, so he continued to use the words that could hurt Gwen Stacy the most. The tone and language said:
"Or do you think your ridiculous framing really has any legal effect?"

"That's not framing!" Gwen tried to argue with Raymond, "Wilson Fisk is cooperating with high-level officials to try to extract ingredients from addictive drugs to create a potion that can strengthen the human body, and he is in the Veterans Hospital test the drug in China."

"Evidence?" Raymond's response became shorter and shorter, and his tone became more impatient and stinging. "Without evidence, this is considered slander, Miss Spider."

"Raymond——" Gwen raised her head with tears in her face, and the girl's voice trembled. She hoped to pull the familiar mentor back to her side—no matter what her identity was.So she trembled and said:
"You're not like this before, don't be like this, okay?"

"Please call me Professor Xu, Miss." As if unmoved by Gwen's plea, Raymond took two steps closer, and provocatively raised Gwen Stacy's chin with his right index finger: " I am your mentor and your boss."

Then regardless of Gwen slamming his hand down, and regardless of the sadness and despair revealed in the girl's eyes, the professor just laughed and turned around:
"And... not everyone will accompany you to play house for the rest of your childish life, Miss Spider."

Her eyes were fascinated by tears, the girl closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found that the place where she confronted the professor had changed from an office with clean windows to an unknown space with only black and white, and Raymond was standing On the edge of the black abyss, he looked at himself with a smile, that smile almost made her think that the former Raymond Xu had returned...

Then the professor stepped back step by step.

Behind him, out of the black abyss, a thousand hands reached out, grabbing his back, dragging his legs, covering his face—until all Gwen Stacy could see was the smiling face. The corner of the mouth that once brought me warmth, reassured me, and made me want to kiss it.

"No!" she yelled with all her might.

"Hey? Why don't you?"

With tears in her eyes, Gwen raised her head again, saw Raymond approaching her, saw his concerned eyes, and most importantly...

She saw the unyielding and strong in his eyes again.

Gwen Stacy, who instantly realized that she was almost torn down to hell by her complicated thoughts, came back to her senses. She almost immediately understood that it was just a fantasy of hers—but its content made people who had never been afraid of evil and horror Spider-Woman was almost gutted and heart-piercing because of this.

She was panting violently, her chest heaving.Suddenly regaining consciousness from the nightmare just now, and seeing Raymond Xu in front of her who still cared about her, the blond girl felt that the fiery and violent emotions that coexisted with pain and joy when she woke up from the dream almost suffocated her.

She took a few steps back, repositioned Raymond Xu in the blurred mosaic of vision, and saw clearly again—he was wearing casual casual clothes, a little rough, just combed his hair briefly, and wore only the most everyday clothes Casual glasses for...

Gwen opened her mouth to say something, but found she couldn't.

But Spider-Woman has never been a character who would open her mouth in a daze. After Gwen Stacy decided to release her emotions, no one could stop her for any reason——

She raised her wrist, and used the spider web to catch him who was both familiar and unfamiliar in front of her. Then the girl suddenly moved forward, opened her arms, and embraced the somewhat stunned Raymond.

The girl pushed further, almost pressing her mentor into her arms.But she just felt that this was not enough, this was not enough, she just had to use more force, just to keep him by her side, as if this way he would not change, would not leave...

"Hey..." Raymond's voice was a little hoarse, "you...be quiet...I...I'm going...I'm going to be out of breath!"

Under Spider-Woman's almost full embrace, the innocent professor exhausted his last strength to whisper for help to the girl who was hugging him, and then he grinned, unable to utter a word.The professor's arms were about to be crushed into his body by Gwen.

Hearing Raymond's faint cry for help, Gwen recovered from her crazy fantasies and almost collapsed emotions, and realized that she was still Raymond Xu's intern, and realized that everything was still going on now. didn't happen.

As if a spring had been installed on Raymond's body, the blond girl jumped out of the professor's chest.Then she hung her left hand and right hand in front of her in embarrassment, with her head down, restless, not daring to look directly into Raymond's eyes.

Raymond Xu, who had just been suddenly pulled into his arms by Gwen Stacy, also regained consciousness after a moment of bewilderment.Although the professor has always used the teacher's morality as his admonition, he is always sober and careful not to let himself be fascinated by this independent and strong, brave and kind, pure and persistent emotionally, but sometimes he is selfish, selfish, and has a bad temper. Rock girl, but he also knows in his heart...

Knowing that my care for Gwen Stacy was not all out of a teacher's love for her students.

When did you fall in love with Gwen?In an instant, the professor began to reflect on the origin story of such an unexpected relationship:

Gwen Stacy's heroic behavior, her bravery and kindness in fighting against evil alone, and her determination to become lonely and bear everything because of this are only the reasons why Raymond Xu has a good impression of her, but it does not Not why Raymond fell in love with her.

The reason why he fell in love with her can be traced back to the frank conversation after Gwen Stacy suddenly realized the distance between the two after his speech.He said he approached her in the first place just to use her, to get her to protect her with superpowers.

Then she said: Even if you want to engage in this political speculation, if you really want to prevent someone like Obadiah from taking the overall situation, then Spider-Woman will protect you.

Yes, even if she is used, even if the use itself means harm, she said, as long as it is for the sake of the overall situation, I am willing to make such a sacrifice, I am willing to let go of the past, I am willing to protect you-protect everyone with a good heart people who read.

It was at that moment that Raymond Xu felt that Gwen Stacy was not a character in comics, animation or movies, she had her persistence and bravery, her principles and justice—she would lift her up At the beginning, I smiled to myself and said, "We have the same purpose and like-mindedness, so even though I can't understand your means, I will try my best to protect you."

Damn—Raymond's breath came too—what a girl!
However, Raymond Xu never expected that Gwen Stacy would almost confess to herself in such a situation, with such an emotion and in such a way.

Ren is an emotional wood, looking at Gwen Stacy, who is crying in her vibrato and tears are sliding down her cheeks, she can clearly guess that she is not just admiring and respecting herself between teachers and students. Longing——she seemed to regard herself as an important person in her life.

Raymond was a little happy—he almost raised the corners of his mouth with a smile—but when he thought about his identity as a teacher and the high-tension lines in American society, the professor seemed a little hesitant, and finally didn't show any emotions .

Now Raymond has not yet reached the point where he can be free from scruples, so he hesitates and stops - this is for her own good, and also to protect himself.

"I know your worries." Raymond held Gwen Stacy's slender wrist with one hand, and raised three fingers with the other hand:

"I swear to you, I will always be mine!"
