No!"
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it!! This isn't real—!!"
He screamed hysterically, flinging the flyer away!
The papers fluttered down like falling snow, swirling around.
At the same time, a BGM started playing:
"Snowflakes flutter~ North wind howls~ The world is a vast expanse!"
"A plum blossom~ Stands alone in the snow…"
Harry froze.
Why did this melody always feel like it was mocking him?
"Who's playing Chinese music!?"
"Oh! Sorry, Gwen has been listening to Chinese music lately, and she recommended a few songs to me."
Mary Jane, who was writing promotional text with her head down, turned off the music, looked up apologetically, and said, "If you don't like it… Huh? Harry, what's wrong with you?"
"No!"
Harry yelled again and rushed out the door.
"Harry! Where are you going?"
Peter chased after him, only to see Harry get into his Rolls-Royce Phantom 88 and speed away!
"Black Spider! And Ghost Spider! I won't let you off!"
Driving on the road, Harry still hadn't calmed down.
In his opinion, Black Spider, who killed his father, was the murderer, and Ghost Spider was also an accomplice!
As for Norman Osborn chasing Ghost Spider first?
So what? That was his father; he couldn't possibly face that issue squarely.
His driver and confidant, who was driving for him, reminded him, "Young Master, things aren't clear yet. Let's get to the scene first."
En…
Harry calmed down a bit, thinking.
"Oh, right, Jessica was also there at the time. I can't believe she was also…"
"She was taken away by Ghost Spider in the end. Maybe she knows something."
Club.
Ned knelt on the ground, trembling as he reached for the damaged phone Harry had casually thrown away.
"Oh no! My iPhone~ My pocket money!"
"Snowflakes flutter~"
"Mary Jane, turn off your damn music!"
Peter: "Hey, Ned, be gentle with girls!"
…
After listening to Peter's account and hanging up the phone.
Ye Li, the instigator, had a strange expression.
Why did he hear a joyful atmosphere from what was clearly a sad situation?
"Brother, that weird thing you're cooking is making noise! I fiddled with it a few times but couldn't figure it out."
Jessica shuffled out of the kitchen in a hurry, kicking her slippers.
"Jessica, that's called medicinal cuisine. I'll handle it."
Ye Li put down his phone, tidied up a bit in the kitchen, and soon came out with a pot of medicinal cuisine, holding a bowl in his other hand.
"Here, this bowl is for you. I'm taking the rest to Gwen."
He placed the bowl on the table and motioned for Jessica to come and drink it.
Jessica leaned down, her pretty nose sniffing, "Ugh, a strange smell! I don't want it~ You give it all to Gwen."
"If you don't want it, forget it." Ye Li poured this bowl back into the insulated pot.
"En—" Jessica narrowed her eyes, suspiciously scanning Ye Li's expression, "Deliberately cooking weird stuff for two girls to drink… Li! Are you up to something bad? I heard there are some strange herbs in the East that can make women lose control…"
"Hmm?"
Ye Li glanced at Jessica.
Had to say.
Jessica's black mini-skirt, worn to blend in, combined with the kitchen apron, gave her a completely different vibe than usual.
Especially those long, slender legs wrapped in stockings, tsk~
He felt like teasing her, leaned closer to Jessica, stroked her black stockings with his hand, and whispered like a devil, "Jessica, how about you sleep in my room tonight?"
"Ah!?" Jessica's face turned red, her legs clamped together and rubbed a few times, and she covered her pleated skirt with her hands, squirming, "Th-that kind of thing wouldn't be good… Gwen would get angry…"
Ye Li pinched the tender flesh of her thigh, "It's fine, I'm just playing with your legs~"
"Legs?"
How could Jessica not know she was being played?
She slapped Ye Li's hand away, angrily kicked him lightly, "Go deliver your stuff!"
Chapter 18: Delivering Medicinal Cuisine! The Charm of Eastern Creations!
Ding-dong~
The doorbell at Gwen's house rang. Ye Li waited, holding the medicinal pot.
The door opened quickly, and Gwen's mother, Jenny, poked her head out, "Oh, Li, come in quickly. No reporters bothering you, right?"
Ye Li walked in, "Reporters haven't come yet, but it's probably only a matter of time. Jessica really causes me trouble. I guess I'll have to move back to Sunnyvale. There's no room for security guards here."
"It seems you've seen the news too. That child Jessica always surprises people."
Jenny smiled and poured him a hot drink, "George is already at the scene handling this matter. He'll warn reporters not to bother you."
Ye Li was noncommittal. George, as the Director of the New York Police Department, couldn't stop everyone. "Where's Gwen? I cooked her some special Eastern medicinal cuisine. It can beautify, nourish the body, and promote health."
He didn't say everything; the more important effects of this medicinal cuisine were to replenish blood and heal scars.
"Beautify and nourish?" Jenny became interested, "Such a miraculous Eastern creation. Gwen is in her room upstairs. Go quickly and give it to her; she'll be very happy."
"Let me serve you a bowl first."
"Oh~ How can I accept? This is for Gwen."
"I'm sure she won't mind."
The two spoke quite loudly, and Gwen, who was upstairs, naturally heard them. She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that her mother was so easily bribed and had sold her out. How could she casually let a boy into her daughter's room?
Gwen wasn't wary of Ye Li; in fact, Ye Li even had a spare key to her room that she had given him privately.
It was just that at this moment, she was secretly bandaging the injury on her forearm. Although the wound had mostly closed due to her special physique, she still needed to bandage it, otherwise, if blood seeped out and her family found it, she would be finished.
Meanwhile, after pleasing Jenny, Ye Li arrived outside Gwen's door and found it locked. He knocked, "Gwen, can I come in? I brought you something to eat."
"Li, come in. Do you have the key?"
"Okay, Gwen, I'm coming."
Ye Li rummaged through his pants pocket for the key, skillfully opened the door, and walked in.
Gwen sat obediently on the edge of the bed, wearing a cute, long-sleeved pajamas with a Q-version spider pattern.
Ye Li jokingly read aloud, "Oh, my sweetie, are you waiting for my favor?"
Gwen cooperated, throwing a seductive glance, "Aren't you coming over yet~ You scoundrel (Chinese)"
"Haha~" Both of them laughed.
Ye Li placed the medicinal cuisine on Gwen's desk and handed her a package, "Gwen, what strange Chinese have you been learning?"
"Is it strange~" Gwen smiled as she took the package, "What is this?"
Ye Li spread his hands, "Jessica said these are Sanitary Napkins that you asked her to bring you."
"Uh, (〃=〃)" Gwen's face flushed.
She had also heard Jessica say she would bring her some bandages and anti-inflammatory medicine… But what a ridiculous excuse this was.
Gwen quickly put the package behind her, looked at the medicinal cuisine on the table, and changed the subject, "So what did you bring me~"
She said, stepping forward and opening the lid, "Although I don't understand it, it looks very rich."
Ye Li explained a bit.
Gwen then happily began to eat.
