"Why do you always treat me like a child!" Peter opened his arms wide and looked at him angrily, but Peter's watery eyes made him look aggrieved.

"Because you're a child!" Zemo emphasized.

"I'm growing up! I'm trying to improve myself, I want to care about you..." Peter wanted to say something more, but he stopped, he just frowned and stared at Zemo with sad eyes , chest ups and downs.

"I know, Peter," Zemo said, "I know you're trying, I know, but it has nothing to do with that, if you go and say it, May won't really believe it, could it be that I abetted you to say Those words? Could it be that I seduced you?"

"you are not……"

"We all know I'm not, but Mei doesn't know. She is shocked and at a loss now. She doesn't know how to solve this matter. Now she can think of any possibility. Telling her will only aggravate her loss. feeling." Zemo tried to put his hands on Peter's shoulders, "Calm down, Peter."

Peter looked at him, and thought, yes, calm down, think about it carefully, the angry retort now is just a naive expression, Helmut is right, he will only make Aunt May feel helpless, and he In Aunt Mei's eyes, she is still a child, and the child does not have enough clear mind, and Aunt Mei will not fully believe what he said.He finally nodded: "Okay, I listen to you."

Zemo finally showed him a smile, and Peter's depressed mood eased a little with that smile.Even if the cause of his depression is the person in front of him.

"Goodbye, Peter," Zemo said.

Peter didn't say goodbye, he suddenly felt a little repulsed by the word, so he said, "I love you, Helmut."

As expected, Zemo didn't answer.There was still silence behind Peter when he walked out the door.Zemo went to the back window and opened the phone.

"Hi, May," he said.

There was a long silence on the other side, Zemo heard someone going upstairs, it should be Peter coming home.

"Hi," May said, "Helmut."

"May," Zemo said first, "Peter is still young, he doesn't know what he wants, children at that age will always take some detours, but I believe he will get back on track in the end. This is also my Wrong, I failed to reject him in the most straightforward way, which caused him some misunderstandings."

Another moment of silence.

"I always thought that Peter regarded you as an elder, or a big brother, the kind of person you can rely on and ask for help, but I never thought about it," May paused, "he has another kind of thinking about you."

Mei's tone was not agitated, she was calm, but with a hint of fatigue.

"But to be honest, I found that Peter didn't feel surprised when he hugged you like that. I just wanted to finally have a better reason to explain why he has been so interested in you. He told me that your living habits are very bad. Well, he is very worried. He is afraid that your body will collapse. He told me before that he thinks you have no friends. He is afraid that you are too boring and boring. He looks forward to every dinner with you. He even asked me a few days ago How to make the best sandwich because he doesn't think you eat supermarket sandwiches every day... God what did I say, he told me not to talk to you about it, he kept telling you I did it sandwiches." Mei covered the lower half of her face with her hands, and sniffed.

May didn't suspect him, wasn't angry, wasn't disgusted.But he shouldn't be surprised, this is Mei, a rational and emotional woman with a beautiful heart.Only she and Ben can raise such an excellent child as Peter.

"I'm sorry, Mei..." Zemo's words were interrupted by Mei.

"Listen, Helmut, I don't want to judge anyone, I just want to tell you that Peter is not yet an adult, he is a child, and you are an adult, you know teenagers at this age, they are too excitable , It's too easy to fall in love with someone."

"I know," Zemo said, and he heard May's words clearly, but May's words were completely unnecessary, "One more thing, May, I want to tell you-maybe this is a bit rushed, but I I found a good job in Sokovia, much better than a security guard, and I'm ready to go back to my country."

"Really?" Mei was shocked, "How long?"

"I've been asking my relatives in Sokovia to find suitable jobs a few months ago. I always feel a little uncomfortable in the United States, and-maybe I just miss home a little bit." Zemo said, he stood Outside the window, looking at the trees in the backyard, the cheerful shadow of William jumped in his mind.

"Seriously, Helmut, is that because of Peter?" May asked.

"No." Zemo said, "It's just that I'm starting to miss my hometown."

"People can't forget their hometown," Mei sighed, "How long are you going to go?"

"Next month." Zemo said, and he put his hand on the screen window as he said, "I have to go through some formalities and talk to the person in charge of the concert hall about it."

"What about Peter?" May asked, "I don't want to question Peter's choice, he has always been a very smart boy in my heart, although I don't think you are the most suitable, but if you just move away without saying anything , it was like running away, and it would make him very sad."

"I know, I will find a chance to talk to him." Zemo replied.

"How about I hold a farewell party? You can take this opportunity to tell him." May took a deep breath to cheer herself up.

"Don't bother," Zemo said, "I'll find time for myself."

"How about I hold a farewell party? You can take this opportunity to tell him." May took a deep breath to cheer herself up.

"Don't bother," Zemo said, "I'll find time for myself."

"Well, if that's what you want." May said, she didn't hang up, neither did Zemo, and after a moment of silence, she said, "You know, I'm not a stuffy person, but accept the fact that Peter doesn't like girls It's not easy."

"I know." Zemo nodded. He knew that May did not discriminate against homosexuals, but he might never have thought about the possibility that his nephew was gay. It did take a little time to accept this.

"I never thought that Peter's first love would end like this." May said. "Going far away, separated by fate, is like a story I read when I was a child."

"I never thought I'd meet Peter," Zemo said. "He's a nice, smart kid, and he's bound to meet someone better."

After hanging up Aunt May, Zemo cooked pasta for himself. When he passed by his bedroom, he saw the curtains in Peter's bedroom were drawn, but Peter was not in the room.So he closed his curtains and went to the attic to check the information.
