Jessica, who was next to her, was distracted, still fiddling with her phone, replying to the message Ye Li had just sent.
Ye Li: [I'm already working on the poster; I'll bring it over tonight.]
Jessica: [It's rare for you, Big Brother, not to be so lazy.]
Ye Li: [I have a good helper here; he's a genius and learns everything very quickly.]
Jessica: [Thanks to that helper, and thank you too, Li. I can reserve a Vice President position in the Club for you.]
Ye Li: [Wait a minute, I remember you should be in class at this time?]
Jessica: [Uh,,,,,, (ー〃)]
Ye Li: [Put down your phone, Jessica. It seems I need to educate you properly.]
Damn it, Big Brother is too cunning!
Jessica put down her phone in distress, knowing she'd get a spanking when she got back.
Gwen tugged at her, "Jessica, Dr. Connors rarely comes to lecture. I think you should listen."
She subtly lifted her smooth chin, gesturing to a boy in front, "Look how seriously Peter is listening."
"Tch~"
Jessica pouted, "That bookworm, I still have to save him when Thompson bullies him."

After class.
Peter Parker ran to greet Connors, "Dr. Connors, I didn't expect you to come to our school to teach, this is great!"
During his summer internship, he also studied under Dr. Connors, and his performance was far superior to Gwen's.
"Peter, I'm also very happy to teach you, but I think you've misunderstood."
Connors explained with a smile, "I only lecture occasionally, not long-term, after all, I still have projects to research at Osborn Group."
"That one? How's the progress recently!" Peter Parker immediately became interested when research was mentioned.
"Peter."
Gwen also walked over at this time, "I think it's not good to have Dr. Connors discuss Osborn Group's research projects here."
"Hey, Gwen." Peter greeted her shyly when he saw her approaching.
"It's fine, Gwen, it's not a confidential project."
Connors picked up his briefcase, self-deprecatingly saying, "It's too crazy to regenerate severed limbs by transplanting lizard genes; most people won't care and will just treat it as a joke."
"If it's you, Dr. Connors, you can definitely do it." Gwen encouraged him empathetically.

Although she only had a partial understanding of Connors' research, she didn't think it was a wild idea.
After all, she had gained incredible superpowers.
Peter also said, "Yes, Dr., I can help you."
"Haha, although I should decline you..."
Connors laughed, "But I think I do need your help; you're a genius, Peter."
The ordinary Peter Parker was even smarter than Spider-Man's version; at Osborn Group, he not only studied but also gave Connors many useful suggestions.
"My lab is always open for you."
Connors left Peter with this sentence and prepared to leave.
Gwen invited him before he left: "Dr. Connors, there's a party tonight, are you interested?"
"That's an activity for young people, Gwen, I won't get involved."
"Alright, take care."
After seeing Connors off, Gwen smiled at Peter Parker again: "Peter~ Don't miss the party tonight, there will be many female classmates there, maybe someone you like, I can introduce you."
Peter had been her neighbor since childhood; although she didn't have the same feelings for him as she did for Ye Li, she still hoped this friend could be more outgoing.
"Ah ah.... Okay, I'll definitely go, Gwen."
Peter ran away as if fleeing.
"Haha~"
Jessica emerged from behind Gwen, "Gwen, there's a special event at the party~"
"Special event?"
....
Time quickly came to evening.
The party was held at Ye Li's Sunnyville Manor.
Jessica was one of the organizers, and the other person who funded it was Harry Osborn, the young master of the Osborn Group.
When Ye Li arrived in his flashy customized car, it was already bustling with activity inside.
Let me see what expression Gwen will have when she sees this.
He mischievously took out an extremely long scroll from the car's trunk, then carried two small gifts, and walked straight in.
..
"Teacher?"
"Although Jessica didn't say, I guessed you would come."
The first to greet Ye Li was actually Harry.
Ye Li had tutored his art class for a period of time.
"Harry, we haven't seen each other for a while, have you fallen behind in art class?"
Ye Li saw Harry in a casual suit, looking very relaxed, so he probably hadn't experienced the Green Goblin incident yet.
Hmm... I wonder if Norman Osborn has become the Green Goblin yet. I should go beat him up sometime.
Harry didn't know Ye Li wanted to beat up his father, and chatted with him as they walked inside, "You know, besides my courses, I also have to learn how to manage the company. I really don't have much spare time. I don't have a smart brain like Peter's."
"Peter?"
"Huh? Yes, Peter, is there a problem?"
"No, I mean, he's over there, and the situation isn't looking good."
Ye Li pointed ahead.
The party was being held inside the house.
And Peter, holding a camera, was being stopped outside by a big guy with a short blonde haircut and a few of his cronies.
"Hey, Peter's here."
The classic school bully from Spider-Man, "Flash" Thompson, mocked Peter disdainfully, "What are you doing here, little trash? There's a party going on here, it's not a place for you."
A henchman in black next to Thompson echoed, "No trash allowed here!"
Thompson waved his hand, "Go home quickly, or stay and do my homework for me."
"I'm here for the party, Thompson, you can't do this!"
Peter was so angry he wanted to swing the camera at Thompson's head, but unfortunately, he didn't dare, and he couldn't bear to (the camera).
"Oh? Who invited a nerd like you?" Thompson challenged him with a swaggering expression.
"Many people!"
Peter said, "Gwen, Jessica, Harry, they all invited me!"
"Yes, Thompson, we all invited Peter!"
Harry walked over at this moment, frowning at Thompson, "You'd better move out of the way immediately!"
"Heh, a guy who only hides behind others."
Seeing one of the hosts approach, Thompson didn't want to cause trouble, so he scoffed at Peter and was about to turn and move aside.

But as soon as he turned his head, he saw a kind smile facing him.
"Thompson, where do you want to go?"
Ye Li looked in the direction of the manor entrance and gestured, "Just a reminder, the exit is over there."
"Who are you? What do you mean?"
Thompson felt a pressure from Ye Li.
"What I mean is—"
Snap.
Ye Li snapped his fingers.
