I'm a hero in Marvel
Chapter 125 True Love
Li Jie's face became even gloomier, and a burst of anger rose in his heart: "Shut up! Gwen and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. The most important thing is that I am with Mary!"
"But you can't let go of Gwen, right?" Peter's voice was like a thorn that pierced Li Jie's heart. His expression changed from anger to confusion for a moment, and then was covered by anger again.
"You don't understand me at all!" Li Jie almost roared, his voice echoing in the empty banquet hall, attracting more people's attention. He pointed his finger at Peter, as if accusing him of ignorance, "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to judge me?"
"I just want you to understand that you don't really want this engagement." Peter's tone was full of sarcasm, "You just want to prove to yourself that you can still have Mary, and that you can still maintain your demeanor in front of others."
Li Jie felt a sharp pain in his heart. Peter's words were like a needle that pierced his defenses. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Mary and I are together because we love each other. I don't need you to teach me what to do."
"Love? Do you really believe that is love?" Peter's voice was filled with contempt. "The relationship between you is just like this engagement ceremony, gorgeous but empty. You don't know what true love is at all!"
"Enough!" Li Jie roared, his voice as deafening as thunder. His eyes flashed with anger, and the people around him held their breath involuntarily, fearing that they would miss the climax of the dispute.
"Who do you think you are? You're just a lost guy who can't even handle his own feelings, and you come to teach me a lesson!" Li Jie's tone was filled with ruthless sarcasm, and his eyes were like knives, staring straight at Peter.
Peter smiled slightly, seemingly not caring about Li Jie's attack: "I just want to remind you not to make the wrong decision at the wrong time. You know in your heart that Mary is not the one you want."
Li Jie's heart was shaken, and his thoughts were instantly disrupted by Peter's words. Indeed, his relationship with Mary was not as strong as he thought. Although they had had sweet times, Li Jie felt more and more uneasy as time went by.
"What are you talking about? You don't understand the relationship between Mary and me at all!" Li Jie tried to refute, but his voice sounded weak.
"I know more than you think." Peter's tone was calm. "You are just avoiding what you really feel deep down. You want Gwen, not Mary."
Li Jie's face suddenly turned pale, and the fear in his heart surged like a tide. Peter's words were like a mirror, reflecting the struggle and anxiety deep in his heart. His hand unconsciously touched his chest, as if trying to calm the unspeakable pain.
"You're right, my relationship with Mary is not perfect, but that doesn't mean I have to give up." Li Jie's voice gradually lowered, revealing a hint of helplessness, "I just want to give her a promise, a future that I can protect."
"But can you really do it?" Peter's voice was still calm, as if he was examining Li Jie's heart, "Can you really let go of Gwen and focus on Mary? If not, then you are just telling a lie to yourself and her."
Li Jie's heart was like a surging sea wave, unable to calm down. His thoughts kept struggling in Peter's words, as if they were torn in half. Finally, he sat down powerlessly, his face pale, and a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"I don't know... I really don't know what to do." Li Jie's voice was low and weak, as if all his strength had been drained away.
Although their argument was intense, he could sense the pain in Li Jie's heart. "I don't mean to hurt you, Li Jie. I just want you to find your true self and not be swayed by the expectations of the outside world."
Li Jie raised his head, his eyes flashing with complex emotions, as if he was thinking about Peter's words. His heart was full of struggle and contradiction, wanting to maintain his relationship with Mary, but unable to forget the obsession in his heart.
"I'll think about it carefully." Li Jie finally said slowly, with a hint of firmness in his voice, but more of confusion. He knew that he had to face his true feelings in order to find the real answer.
Peter nodded, seeming to be satisfied with Li Jie's attitude. Although the argument between them was fierce, they finally reached a tacit understanding at this moment. The people around them gradually returned to the joyful atmosphere of the engagement ceremony, while Li Jie and Peter re-examined their relationship and their true feelings in this argument.
"I hope you can find your own happiness." Peter said softly, with a hint of understanding and sympathy in his eyes.
"You know what? I heard that the black cat you used to date has been taken away by Frank." Li Jie teased while stirring his coffee, with a playful smile on his lips.
Peter raised his head, a hint of curiosity and dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, "Black Cat? Are you talking about her? So what? She and I have broken up, there is no need to mention her again."
Li Jie shrugged, not seeming to give up. "But she is a legendary figure. Even Frank is attracted to her. Don't you think this is interesting?"
"Funny? You're such a jerk." Peter's voice gradually rose, and he was obviously a little angry. "You always like to make fun of my past. Can't you respect my feelings?"
"I'm just trying to make you happy, don't take it so seriously." Li Jie blinked innocently, trying to ease the atmosphere, but Peter obviously didn't buy it.
"Happy? All you remind me of are those unbearable memories." Peter's tone became cold and his eyes turned to the window, as if he was recalling the past.
At this time, Harry, who was sitting next to them, couldn't help but interrupt, "Hey, stop arguing like this. You two are good friends, why do you have to argue over these trivial matters?"
"Good friend?" Peter sneered, "If this is the way friends act, then I would rather not have such a friend."
Li Jie frowned, feeling a little aggrieved, "I didn't mean it, I just wanted to lighten the atmosphere."
Seeing this, Harry decided to mediate. "How about we use rock-paper-scissors to resolve this dispute?"
"Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Peter was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Do you think this can solve the problem?"
"Of course." Harry nodded seriously, "If you are all okay with it, why not give it a try?"
Li Jie also seemed a little excited, "Okay, I'm not afraid of losing anyway. Come on, Peter!"
The two looked at each other, and Peter finally nodded, thinking that this might help ease the tense atmosphere.
"Let's do it then, are you ready?" Harry held out his hand, ready to count.
"Come on, three, two, one!" the three shouted in unison.
"Scissors!" Li Jie stretched out a pair of scissors and looked at Peter triumphantly.
"Stone!" Peter clenched his fists firmly, feeling secretly proud in his heart.
"I lost..." Li Jie's voice became low. Although he said that, there was a look of unwillingness in his eyes.
"See, I told you you would lose." Peter's lips curled up into a smile. Although he was still a little unhappy, the situation before him made him relax a little.
"This is not the end, don't be too proud." Li Jie sighed helplessly, took out a ring from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and handed it to Peter. "This is what I prepared for you. Although I lost, I still give you this ring."
Peter was stunned for a moment, and took the ring with mixed feelings. He understood the meaning of this ring. Li Jie had always wanted to give it to him, but for various reasons he never had the chance. At this moment, he felt complicated, a little touched, but also a little helpless.
"I...I don't know what to say." Peter looked at the ring and his voice dropped.
"You don't have to say anything." Li Jie's tone became serious, "I just hope that we can continue to be friends and not let these little things affect our relationship."
"I know." Peter nodded, his heart gradually calming down. "Actually, I don't want to make things too awkward with you, but sometimes I feel like you don't understand me."
"I will try my best to understand you." Li Jie smiled slightly, and the teasing in his eyes seemed to disappear, leaving only sincerity. "After all, we are friends."
"Yes, we are friends." Peter put the ring on the table, and gradually felt relieved. He realized that although Li Jie's way was a bit helpless, he still cared about him.
Harry watched the atmosphere between the two gradually ease, and heaved a sigh of relief. "That's right, there will always be friction between friends, but as long as we have each other in our hearts, everything can be solved."
"That's right." Li Jie nodded, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes, "Thank you, Harry. If it weren't for you, we might still be arguing."
"You're welcome. I just did what I had to do." Harry smiled easily. "Now, let's continue drinking coffee."
The three of them got together again and the atmosphere gradually warmed up. Li Jie began to tell some light-hearted jokes, and Peter couldn't help laughing, as if the dispute just now had never happened.
"Have you heard the joke about cats and dogs?" Li Jie began.
He had been thinking about an important issue: choosing a godfather for Harry and Mary's child. Peter flashed through his mind, and Peter was always so enthusiastic, as if he was looking forward to everything.
"Li Jie, what are you thinking about?" Anna, who was sitting opposite, asked softly, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"I'm thinking about the Godfather." Li Jie frowned and looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly and pedestrians were passing by in a hurry.
"Godfather? You mean Harry and Mary's child?" Anna's voice raised a pitch, obviously very interested in the topic.
"Yes, I think Peter is very suitable for this role, but I am thinking..." Li Jie hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "He always seems to put himself first."
"You mean he might see this role as an opportunity to show off?" Anna nodded, understanding Li Jie's concerns.
"Yes, I want to make this role more meaningful rather than a superficial honor." Li Jie sighed and his gaze returned to the window again.
"So what are you going to do?" Anna asked.
"I want to have a good talk with Harry." Li Jie's tone became firm, "I hope he can understand that the responsibilities of a godfather are far more important than a glamorous appearance."
At this moment, Peter pushed the door open with a bright smile on his face, as if he was full of endless enthusiasm for the outside world. He saw Li Jie and Anna at a glance and walked over immediately.
"Hey, guys! What are you talking about?" Peter's voice was as energetic as he was.
"We are discussing Harry and Mary's child." Li Jie smiled slightly, but was secretly thinking about how to guide the topic.
"Oh, about the Godfather?" Peter's eyes lit up immediately when he heard it. He sat down, put his hands on the table, and looked expectant. "I think I am very suitable for this role!"
Li Jie's heart tightened, but he forced himself to remain calm. He knew Peter's enthusiasm, but he was more concerned about the profound meaning of the role of Godfather.
"Peter, do you really think you can do it?" Li Jie asked with a hint of temptation in his tone.
"Of course! I will take good care of their child, take him on adventures, and teach him everything I know!" Peter's voice was full of confidence, even a little proud.
