I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 41 The Proportion of Making Friends

At lunch, Mindy ate quickly but not much. She opened the refrigerator, found several lunch boxes, and began filling them with food.

"What are you doing, Mindy?" Li Jie watched her stuff a large roast lamb chop into her lunch box, and then took another lunch box to prepare the Italian seafood soup.

“I told her I know someone who’s an incredible cook. I promised to bring her something to try. You don’t mind, do you?” Mindy said as she packed another serving of cheddar hummus and tortillas.

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Li Jie understood why Mindy asked him to cook lunch early in the morning and asked him to cook various dishes. It turned out that she wanted to show off to her new friends. Li Jie felt that he seemed to be used by this little girl.

But forget it, as long as she is happy. It's no big deal. Mindy found a big bag to pack her lunch box, put on her backpack full of comics, and prepared to go out.

But before leaving, she emphasized: "I've already told you that I have a new friend. She's just a little girl. You are not allowed to follow me or monitor me! If I lose this friend because of you, I will settle the score with you!"

Mindy waved her fist and spoke threateningly. Li Jie and his friends expressed their understanding, after all, Mindy's friend was just a 13-year-old girl. They believed that Mindy would know how to make friends properly.

"Should we tell Frank and Damon?" Peter asked as he watched Mindy leave the base.

"No rush, let's wait until they come back." Mike scooped a bowl of seafood soup.

"Yes, that's a good thing. Don't interfere with Mindy too much. She is different from ordinary little girls." Li Jie took a bite of the tortilla and said in agreement.

Look! The highest level of lying is actually honesty! You don't have to make up complicated lies, because lies always have loopholes.

In order to cover up the flaws, you will get deeper and deeper into the trap, telling more and more lies. Eventually, everything will be exposed.

Good liars never tell lies, they only tell part of the truth. Because they tell the truth, there are no flaws in what they tell. But they only tell part of the story.

This part may lead the listener away from the truth of the matter. This is the cunning of true liars!

These are what Mindy learned from Li Jie, and what Li Jie realized after dealing with Loki. Loki, who holds the sword of truth, never lies, but he can confuse people and weave illusions.

I have to say that Mindy is a good student. She fully absorbed the knowledge taught by Li Jie and immediately used it on this group of teachers.

……

There are many abandoned small docks along the Hudson River in New York. In the early years, they were used to transfer goods between the Port of New York and inland rivers. However, in the mid-to-late 20th century, as the functions of the Port of New York were improved, these small docks lost their function.

Mindy settled Laura in a community near a small dock. It was a sparsely populated and slightly desolate place that originally served the dock. After the dock was abandoned, the place also lost its vitality.

Now, except for a few elderly people, most people have moved out. Before joining the Night Watch, Mindy and Big Daddy were based in an apartment in an old building.

The base has perfect security facilities, and Mindy thinks it is much better for Laura to live here than in an abandoned factory warehouse. Anyway, after joining the Night Watch, the base will be useless.

Mindy entered the room through fingerprint and pupil recognition. Laura was cleaning the room, which was covered with thick dust because no one had lived in it for nearly a year.

When Mindy brought Laura in that day, the two little girls spent a long time clearing out a bedroom, the one Mindy used to live in.

But the whole house was too big for them to clean quickly, so Laura planned to do a thorough cleaning over several days.

Now, the spring cleaning is nearing completion and the whole house has been cleaned spotlessly by Laura.

"Hey! Laura!" Mindy's voice was full of joy. Laura, who was tidying the table in the living room, was also very happy to see Mindy. "Good afternoon, Mindy!"

"How is living here? Are you used to it?" Mindy put down the things and backpack in her hands, walked behind Laura, and put her hand on her shoulder.

"Very good, really comfortable." Laura said seriously. Compared with her days in Mexico and the wanderings she went through later, this place was undoubtedly a warm haven.

Mindy's face lit up with a smile when she heard Laura's words.

"Oh, by the way, have you had lunch?" Mindy remembered the lunch she brought.

"I bought a sandwich." Laura pouted, and Mindy saw a mixed sandwich on the table. She pouted: "Forget that dry and ugly sandwich, I brought you something delicious."

As she spoke, Mindy opened the lunch box she brought one by one, which contained rosemary roasted lamb chops, Italian seafood soup, cheddar cheese baked hummus, and the staple food - corn biscuits.

"Look, I brought you delicious food. I don't know if you like it, but you said you are Mexican, so I think you will definitely like this tortilla!" Corn tortilla is a traditional Mexican food, and it is also what Mindy specifically asked Li Jie to prepare.

"Come, let's have lunch first!" Mindy arrived at exactly 12:20 noon, which was lunch time. She had calculated this in advance. Therefore, she asked Li Jie to prepare lunch in advance.

"These are made by a friend of mine who is a good cook. I thought you would like them." Mindy pulled Laura to the chair in front of the table, helped her set the lunch box, and even prepared disposable spoons and cutlery.

"You don't want to eat?" Laura looked at Mindy.

"I've already eaten, so just enjoy your meal." Mindy said as she urged Laura to eat faster.

Mingdi didn't know much about food, and she didn't know that lamb chops and seafood soup would smell fishy when they got cold. She always ate the hot dishes that Li Jie had just prepared, and she thought they tasted very good.

So she asked Li Jie to cook these two dishes. However, more than an hour had passed, and the lamb chops and seafood soup had already gone cold, and the smell of mutton had also emerged.

Laura didn't like the mutton smell or the seafood soup smell, but she didn't say anything and ate it in small bites.

Although the lamb smelled strong, the seafood soup was a bit fishy, ​​the cold hummus had lost its aroma when it was hot, and the cold corn tortillas were no longer soft, Laura still ate seriously. Whether she liked it or not, she finished all the food.

Because this was specially prepared by Mindy for her, and she took a lot of effort to bring it. Although it was not to Laura's taste, she still smiled and said after eating it: "It tastes really good."

Mindy said happily: "Right! I told you our family's cooking is great!" Li Jie, who was cleaning up the dishes at the base, suddenly sneezed.

"By the way, I brought you a lot of comics. You can read them when you are bored." Mindy poured out a bag of comics, put them on the sofa, and introduced them to Laura: "These are my favorite superhero comics. Marvel's comics are much better than Hyperion."

"Really?" Laura had never read a comic before and had no chance to come into contact with entertainment products. All of this was new to her.

"Yes, I can lend you the comics I've read." Mindy nodded seriously and tilted her head to look at Laura for a while, which made Laura feel a little strange.

"What's wrong, Mindy?" Laura was not used to Mindy staring at her.

"Laura, you should change your clothes." Mindy found that Laura seemed to have only two sets of clothes, which were clean but looked a little old.

"Really?" Laura never paid attention to these things.

Mindy took Laura's hand and said, "Come on, girl, let's go buy some beautiful clothes! At school, I heard the girls mention some stores that specialize in selling girls' clothes. They all bought clothes there, so let's go and have a look."

Mindy was a little excited because she had wanted to go to a store like this for a long time. But other girls went shopping with a partner, so she felt weird going alone. And it would be weird to go to a store that sells little girls' clothes and accessories with her big daddy.

Laura had never really been shopping. She only had enough money to live on. She had seen the beautiful clothes in the windows and wanted to wear them, but she had never really stepped into the doors of those stores.

"Come on, girls! After looking at clothes, we can go to the movies in the afternoon. I know a cinema is re-screening Harry Potter. Do you like it?" Mindy took Laura's hand and was about to go out.

To Laura, everything Mindy brought her was new, whether it was food, the house she was living in, the comics she brought, the clothing store she was going to visit, or the movie she was going to watch.

For Laura, these were things she had never experienced before, just like the world-famous movie series "Harry Potter", which she had never even heard of before.

"Thank you, Mindy." Laura said softly, a voice only she could hear. She looked at Mindy holding her little hand, and at this moment, Laura was sure that the girl in front of her would become her lifelong friend.

After Li Jie moved to his new home, his home did become lively as he expected. Because of Lan's arrival, there was another girl in Li Jie's home.

As for the salty fish Thor, Li Jie also let him move in. Anyway, there was still room available, and Li Jie needed to supervise the salty fish closely, hoping that this guy could lose weight from a fat Alaskan dog to a Shiba Inu.

However, when Li Jie first brought Thor home, Lan's first reaction when he saw Thor was surprise: "This guy looks so familiar, who is he?"

Lan asked Li Jie in confusion. Li Jie touched his forehead helplessly: "I think you should have seen him, Odin's son, Thor, the god of thunder."
