I'm a hero in Marvel

After the SAT exam, Li Jie started looking for a new house. He found that it was becoming more and more inconvenient to continue living at home, and he needed an independent space to do many things. Peter and Harry also supported Li Jie to move out. For these two best friends, once Li Jie had a new house to live in, they would have an extra place to stay.

"You know, every time I come home, especially after playing Spider-Man, when Aunt May sees me with bruises on my face, how many excuses do I have to make? Saying that I fell off my skateboard, fell while playing basketball, or was hit by the school football players." As he said this, Peter couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"These lame excuses make me look like a super sports loser, which is really embarrassing." Li Jie and Harry have different views: "You were already a sports loser before you became Spider-Man. If you can make five out of ten free throws, it's good. There's nothing to argue about."

"That was in the past! That was in the past!" Peter said confidently, "It's different now. So, brother!" Peter put his arm around Li Jie's shoulder and said seriously, "Can you rent a bigger house and leave a room for me, in case I need to stay the night sometimes?"

Li Jie slapped Peter's hand on his shoulder in disgust and said, "Come on, you're going to be a freshman at NYU soon. Don't you want to rent an apartment with Gwen? Why are you coming to my place to join in the fun?"

After hearing what Li Jie said, Harry raised his eyebrows, looked at Peter meaningfully and said, "Could it be that Gwen actually did that to you..." He said with a sly smile.

"Please, brothers! Keep your thoughts pure! Gwen comes from a strict family! Think about her father, the serious old policeman. And how do I explain to Gwen where the money comes from to rent a house near New York University?" Peter slapped his forehead in frustration. Obviously, this question was the key.

"The rent for a slightly better apartment near NYU is more than two thousand dollars. I can't reasonably explain the real source of this money. After all, Uncle Ben can't give me so much pocket money. And Gwen is too smart. I think she seems to have noticed something. I don't know if she has guessed my true identity."

Li Jie and Harry looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time: "Regarding the issue of money, you can find a part-time job when you go to college. The laboratory of the Osborn Group can provide you with a position. You are very strong in the field of biology. In this way, your Spider-Man copyright income can also be transferred to your account through the Osborn Group."

"So, don't worry about money." Li Jie patted Peter's arm. In this world, Peter Parker's life was much better than what Li Jie had seen in movies and cartoons. Uncle Ben was still alive, and the family's financial pillar was still there; Aunt May was not forced to sell her house because she couldn't afford Peter's high tuition; Peter didn't have to work as a temporary photographer at the Daily Bugle, using his Spider-Man photos for a meager reward; not to mention that Peter had accumulated a considerable amount of savings because of the establishment of the comic company.

"I didn't become Spider-Man for the money, you know that!" Peter waved his hands to express his stance, "Aren't we here to change the world?"

"Yes, it is indeed for the purpose of solving the world's problems, but I think you should first deal with your relationship with Gwen. College is different from high school, and Gwen may encounter many handsome boys pursuing her. I think Peter Parker has to work harder." Li Jie pointed at Peter and said half-jokingly.

"But Jason, I think you should also consider renting a bigger house." At this time, Harry suddenly interrupted.

"Don't tell me you occasionally want to sleep in my bed?" Li Jie glared at Harry. "There are more than fifty rooms in your manor for you to choose from!"

"That's exactly the problem!" Harry answered frankly, "Osborne Manor is just too big. I didn't feel uncomfortable when I lived with my father before, but after my father passed away, this mansion seems too empty for me. Although there are many servants, you know, the feeling is still different."

"What about Mary? Shouldn't she move in with you?" Peter was referring to Harry's girlfriend Mary Jane.

She is an actress active on Broadway, often performing in stage plays and touring from time to time. Therefore, it is impossible for her to stay in New York all the time, let alone live in Osborne Manor for a long time. Harry said helplessly.

"Mary is an independent and strong woman with her own ideas. I can't ask her to sacrifice her career for me. If she did that, I think our relationship would probably come to an end," Harry said frankly.

What he said was indeed reasonable. Mary Jane was dating Harry, but she was not the kind of woman who depended on him for her living. Although Harry was now one of the richest men in the world, as long as Mary asked, he was fully capable of providing her with a good material life.

However, Mary is not impressed by this. She has a higher need for self-pursuit and self-realization, and she is determined not to let Harry intervene in the decision-making in this regard. For her, this is her life, independent and strong, which is also the truest portrayal of Mary Jane.

She loves to shine on stage and is eager to touch the hearts of the audience through her performances, making them cry or laugh. This stems from her persistent pursuit in the field of art.

In her spare time, she is happy to go on vacation with Harry. The two support each other but also maintain their independence. Mary Jane never asks about Harry's private affairs and always supports him silently. In return, Harry gives her the same silent support.

Since Norman's death, Mary has become one of Harry's most important pillars of life.

Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy represent the image of independent women in the new era, who have cleverly found a balance between love, career, family and personal life. They are not completely dependent on men and have independent lives, but when their partners need support, they will not hesitate to devote their strength and tenderness.

These women are indeed outstanding, and both Harry and Peter cherish their girlfriends very much. At the same time, they also understand that they have no right to interfere with each other's life goals.

"So what you mean is that you want to find a place where you can come to have parties and play games, or have a place to stay when you have an argument with your girlfriend and get kicked out, or even find a place to vomit when you get drunk? This is equivalent to a free hotel, or a gathering place for losers?" Before Li Jie finished speaking, Peter and Harry had already nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, that's right! That's it!" Peter admitted shamelessly.

"Get lost!" Li Jie kicked Peter and Harry unceremoniously, sending them flying...

After some negotiation and bargaining, Li Jie finally decided to rent a bigger house. Regardless of whether it would become a "refuge" for these bad friends in the future, at least a more spacious house would make living more convenient.

Gwen helped find a two-story single-family villa located at the intersection of Queens and Long Island, with a loft and basement, and a total of five rooms available for living. Living facilities such as the kitchen, living room, and dining room are all on the first floor.

The usable area of ​​the first floor of the entire house is about 220 square meters, plus a garage and a 50-square-meter back garden.

"This place is pretty good, Jason. It will definitely meet your needs." Gwen commented after accompanying Li Jie to visit the house.

"Peter will definitely come to play games with you more often in the future, but I still hope you can keep an eye on him and don't let him play too late."

"Huh?" Li Jie looked at Gwen with embarrassment.

Gwen raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's so surprising? The reason you looked for a big house is because you three friends sometimes do shady things here."

"Please don't be so blunt, Gwen. We're just playing games together at most." Li Jie really felt that Gwen was too smart. Whether it was the movies they had seen in his previous life or their current interactions, he could see that Gwen had a very high IQ. It seemed that it was not easy for Peter to remain silent until now.

"Ah~ Game~" Gwen smiled and patted Li Jie's back gently.

After looking at the whole house, Li Jie was very satisfied. Although the monthly rent was over 7,000 US dollars, which was indeed not cheap, he could still afford the expense for now.

After all, he has an income from the comics company, plus his part-time consultant at the Osborn Group with an annual salary of five million US dollars. Considering all aspects, in the United States, Li Jie can be considered a high-income person among the middle class.

Now that the house was confirmed, the moving matters had to be handled as soon as possible. Peter, Harry and their respective girlfriends, Gwen and Mary, all came to help, adding a bit of liveliness to Li Jie's move into his new home.

Li Jie put all the furniture left by the previous landlord in the basement. He didn't like to use old furniture that had been used by others. Therefore, all the furniture in the house was newly purchased by him.

Peter and Harry were busy moving furniture and doing the heavy work, while Gwen and Mary were cleaning.
