Marvel's The Force Awakens

"I actually slept for so long..."

As the alarm clock rang, Peter woke up from his deep sleep and snorted.He rubbed his groggy eyes, and after thinking for a few seconds, he firmly covered himself with the quilt tighter.

I really don't want to get up...

He lazily rubbed his face against the pillow several times before reluctantly leaving the warm bed.It has been a long time since the sun has been basking in the sun. If Ge Wen is kept waiting for a long time due to the reason of sleeping in, this little girl who looks very docile can burst out with fighting ability like a giant dragon.

Ever since the two started dating, almost all of Peter's free time seemed to have been completely sucked away by a giant sponge.But Peter didn't mind this at all, but found himself sighing more and more often that he didn't have enough time.But even so, he would still find time to buy Gewen a piece of her favorite chocolate in his busy schedule.

After backing up all the data on the computer very quickly, Peter quickly put on his most pleasing shirt and jeans.After reluctantly accepting the hamburger Aunt May forced on him, Peter stepped out of the house.He took a bite of the food in his hand and looked at the time on his phone. He was suddenly stunned.

"Wait...I don't think I need to go out so early at all."

It was only 10:30 now, and there were still two full hours before he and Gewen agreed to meet.Maybe she is a very punctual person, but that doesn't mean she will arrive more than an hour early.

Peter's steps forward suddenly slowed down. He looked back and forth, filled with hesitation and embarrassment.

The door to his home was less than 20 meters behind him.If I go back now, I should be able to organize the information again, and maybe watch a new episode...

The idea of ​​long-lost leisure time kept tempting Peter, but after struggling for a while, Peter gritted his teeth and continued walking.Going right out of the house would definitely arouse questions from his uncles and aunts, and he didn't want to have to awkwardly explain his mistake to them.

Since it's still early, let's go to the comic shop and have a look.

Pulling her suitcase, Mary stepped out of the car.Seeing this familiar street, a complex emotion that she didn't even understand suddenly spread from her heart, making her filled with emotions.

In just over half a year, she felt like the last time she was here was a lifetime ago.No matter what, this is where she was born and grew up, this is her home.

But this is no longer her home.

The place her father now rents is not far from their distant residence. It is a shared apartment with only two floors.The building, built in the 50s, is starting to show its age.It already looks dilapidated and its rent is quite cheap, which also attracts many families who are not wealthy.Mary could have sworn there were at least six people living in the two-bedroom apartment next door.

However, this was indeed her residence for the next month.Mom's work in Boston hasn't ended yet, and it will be some time before she moves here.During this period of time, she had to endure her father's behavior again.

Before she even entered the house, Mary's expression quickly turned bad.There was half a smashed glass bottle on the ground in front of the door, and there was still a pungent smell of alcohol inside.

After taking a few deep breaths, Mary pressed the doorbell and then waited quietly.Uneasy, she kept stirring her fingers, as if she wanted to use this method to vent her tension.

However, 3 minutes passed and no one came to open the door.

It shouldn't be.A look of trouble appeared on Mary's face.My mother has informed my father that she will be back today, and he, who only goes out to work odd jobs in convenience stores on Mondays and Tuesdays, should be at home now.

She took out her cell phone and dialed her father's cell phone.However, after several attempts, he still did not answer her call.

Putting her luggage next to the threshold, Mary began to look for a way to enter the house.Her father used to hide a spare key in the small crack on the left side of the door.However, after groping for a long time, she still didn't find anything.

The only way now is to climb over from the balcony next to it.If you're lucky, the balcony door is unlocked.

As long as she could sneak in from there, she could at least rest inside first.She didn't sleep at all on the train last night, and now she was so sleepy that she couldn't even raise her eyelids.

But maybe it's because she is real

It's so exhausting.Just the first attempt ended in the worst possible way.The exposed iron sheet on the railing caught her coat, and then split it and the skin underneath.

She quickly cried out in pain and checked the new wound on her arm. Her nose twitched and tears almost came out of her eyes.At this moment, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, and her father limped out of it, muttering curses.The strong smell of alcohol emanated from his body, and even Mary, who was five or six meters away from him, could smell it very clearly.

"I'm going to tear you apart with my own hands, you noisy bastard...Oh, Mary." He finally noticed his daughter and forced an ugly smile on his face. "Well, it didn't take long to find this place."

"Hey, Peter." Peter, who was concentrating on the comic book in his hand, suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder, and the next moment, a soft body exuding a delicate fragrance pressed against his back. , hugged him up.

"This is...Superman Reborn is now in the sixth edition." Gwen put her chin on Peter's shoulder and blew on his ear.Feeling Peter's body in her arms quickly stiffened, and she smirked triumphantly. "Why is our little superhero now looking for lessons from his seniors?"

"Gwen, you know I don't like the word superhero. I think it's hard for me to even be considered a hero, let alone a super." Peter smiled helplessly and put his comics back into his bag. .At the same time, Gewen also sat next to him and stretched out her body.

"Here, your birthday gift." Peter put his carefully wrapped gift box into Gwen's hand, completely ignoring her speechless expression. "The Asimov Collection, I remember you said you wanted it last time."

"You are the most unromantic man I have ever seen." Gwen rolled her eyes and put the gift into her bag. "But this gift is quite well chosen."

"Yes, yes, I know that Mr. Stacey was a veteran in the flower field when he was young, and your mother still chased him back then." Peter laughed twice, awkwardly. "I've been thinking about the gift for a long time...but as long as you like it."

"Yes, I like it quite a lot." Gwen smiled and then quickly pecked Peter on the face. "This is your reward"

"It's unfair, I don't even feel it." Peter, whose face was slightly red, touched his face. “I ask for it again”

"I just came to tell him that I'm back, I don't mean anything else." On the other side of the city, Mary, who was also blushing, closed her eyes and kept repeating the same sentence in her heart. "I just came to tell him I'm back, nothing else."

After taking two deep breaths, she finally plucked up the courage and knocked twice on the door in front of her.

Damn it, she thought ruefully, the knock was too soft and no one inside could hear it.She stretched out her hand again, and before she could knock on the door, the door was already opened.A familiar person appeared in front of Mary.

"Mary, little Mary, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come on, come in and sit down." Aunt Mei, who opened the door, recognized her instantly and invited her into the house enthusiastically. "Here, wait for a moment on the sofa, and I'll bring you a cup of coffee. There should be some cakes in the refrigerator, can you have strawberry flavor?"

"No need to bother, no need to bother." Mary waved her hand quickly. "I've eaten a little bit, but now I don't..."

"Poor girl, what's wrong with your arm?" Before she could finish her words, sharp-eyed Aunt Mei saw the wound on her arm. "It looks like it hasn't been processed yet. Wait, I'm going to get some disinfectant right now."

Mary, who couldn't bear Aunt May's enthusiasm, could only nodded and sat down on the sofa nearby.Looking at Aunt Mei who was busy in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little warmer in her heart.Aunt May had been so enthusiastic for as long as she could remember.Almost every time they meet, he will give himself some snacks as gifts. When his parents quarrel, he will invite her to his home and serve her a bowl of his specialty soup.

And she also met the boy who looked a little silly at that time.

"Isn't Peter home?" Her eyes wandered around the living room, but there was no movement from upstairs. "Going to work so early"

"No, no, he went out today." Aunt Mei brought a cup of coffee in front of her, then turned around to get the cake in the refrigerator. "Today is his girlfriend's birthday. This kid spent most of the afternoon preparing yesterday..."

Mary's hand suddenly shook and she almost knocked the coffee to the ground.
