[Comprehensive Britain and the United States] A perfect match

"Hi, hi, good morning, May!" Peter greeted stiffly.

Anakin was shrinking behind the opened door at this moment, blocked by the door panel, Aunt May could see him as long as she turned around and closed the door.

"It was a bit too hot last night. I didn't sleep well. I woke up at five o'clock."

As Aunt Mei said, she was about to close the door with her backhand, but Peter hurried forward—"Let me come! Was it hot last night? I didn't pay attention."

He gripped the doorknob to hold the panel in place, so as not to expose Anakin.Aunt Mei went to the kitchen by herself, put down the bag and said, "I didn't turn on the air conditioner because it was too expensive to blow it on overnight. After I woke up from the heat in the morning, I went to the coffee shop on the corner to buy iced coffee and brought two breakfasts along the way." return."

Isn't that equivalent to using the saved electricity bills to buy breakfast?It's better to blow the air conditioner all night like me.

Before Peter had time to complain, he took advantage of the few seconds when Aunt May was facing the kitchen, quickly let go of the doorknob, and gestured desperately at Anakin, signaling him to hurry up and slip away.

Anakin jumped out from the corner, bowed his head, and quickly left Peter's house.

But he was still a step too late, as soon as his left foot stepped out of the door, Aunt May turned around: "Peter, come to eat—good morning, are you?"

Anakin froze on the spot, as if under some kind of petrification magic.

Peter was so nervous that his blood rushed into his brain, and he said as if he was dead: "Uh, May, it's like this..."

"Isn't this Mr. Skywalker, Peter's teacher?" Aunt Mei took two steps closer and took Peter's conversation away, "Long time no see, are you looking for Peter again? You came so early, and it's not yet seven o'clock. "

Anakin reversed the direction of his body, posing as if he was about to enter the door, feeling his joints jerky, like an unoiled robot: "Oh, good morning, May, I mean, Ms. Parker. I know now It's a little too early, but, as a matter of fact, as a matter of fact, I came to... visit a friend."

He temporarily made up a lie about making friends out of nothing.

Peter hastily added: "Yes, he just passed by, saw me open the door, and said hello, that's all."

Aunt May repeated in confusion: "Visiting a friend? Do you mean Peter?"

"Uh, yes—no," Anakin stammered, "You may, may not know, I have a friend who also happens to live in this apartment. I'm here early today because, because, uh Yes, because he, his father in Colorado just passed away, and now he has no other relatives, and plans to move back to the old house at home. I will help him move."

He mercilessly wiped out his imaginary new friend all over the place.

Aunt May immediately said sympathetically, "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."

Anakin bit the bullet and continued: "It's okay, it's okay, he is very strong, I think he has almost come out."

"Oh, my neighbor is so indifferent. I don't even know someone in the building has just lost their only relative." Aunt May said, "Peter, let's go and see if we can help. Moving is not easy, let's go Give me a hand."

With his back turned to Aunt May, Peter's eyes widened in horror, and he couldn't say any reason for his refusal.

Anakin quickly shook his head: "No, no, thank you for your kindness. But we have already moved yesterday, today I just came, uh, just to pick him up, we are going to drive to Colorado together, you know, take turns to rest, Avoid overtiring."

Aunt May: "Colorado is in the west. It's so far away."

Anakin responded immediately: "Indeed, so we have to leave early in the morning. If you don't mind, I won't bother you, and hurry up—"

Aunt May walked to the door and said empathetically, "Of course, then I won't give it away. I wish you all the best of luck—oh, Peter also has these slippers." She found the slippers on Anakin's feet.

Anakin was startled, and the toes in the slippers curled up uncomfortably: "Is that so? I'm not sure, I don't know, I mean, Peter also has these slippers?"

Peter was behind Aunt May, Jun's face was flushed, and he looked so nervous that he was about to faint.

"Yes, I bought it for him." Aunt Mei said, "What a coincidence, by the way, you are still in a hurry, so I won't delay you."

Anakin was amnesty: "No, it was a pleasure chatting with you."

The two said goodbye to each other, Aunt May closed the door, and Peter breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Aunt May's next sentence made him think again: "Peter, did you feel that your teacher seemed nervous when he spoke just now?"

"What? Nervous? Is there? I didn't notice." Peter tried to stay calm.

Aunt Mei affirmed: "Believe me, he is really nervous, it's really strange, could it be that he—"

Peter held his breath for a moment.

"—does he like me?"

Peter was full of astonishment: "What? He likes you?"

Aunt Mei said: "He looks like a college student who came to strike up a conversation with him for the first time. He is stupid, and everyone can see it. When I was young, there were many boys who liked him. I saw that stupid look in love a lot."

Peter was speechless for a while, he didn't know if he should complain that Aunt Mei also had the illusion of "he likes me" in life.

Aunt Mei: "He looks quite different from the one in school, doesn't he? His hair is messy and grows to his shoulders, like a cool boy playing in a band. But I don't like his style, I only like simple and honest ones, For example, your Uncle Ben, such a man is reliable."

Peter thought to himself: You're not interested, I am, and I've already got him.

"Never mind that, come and have breakfast, Peter," said Aunt May.

Peter: "May, I'm still in my pajamas. I'll have breakfast after I change and wash up."

Aunt May glanced at him suspiciously: "Peter, why are you wearing pajamas and sneakers?"

Peter said embarrassingly: "I didn't pay attention when I got up in the morning, and I wore it wrong."

As he said that, he turned around and went back to his room as if he was running away, and came out 2 minutes later wearing a set of ordinary short-sleeved shorts, and went to the toilet to wash up.

Peter walked quickly, and a gust of cool wind came from the room and blew on Aunt May next to him.

Aunt May: "Peter, did you turn on the air conditioner all night last night?"

Peter answered vaguely in the bathroom with a toothbrush in his mouth.

"I'll help you ventilate." Aunt Mei yelled, and pushed open the door of Peter's room, intending to go in and open the window for him to breathe.

The temperature in Peter's room was significantly lower than that of the living room outside. Aunt Mei saw that the pajamas and pajamas that Peter had just taken off were casually still on the bed, a short-sleeved top, and two pairs of loose pajama pants.

Um?Have two pairs of pajama pants?

Aunt Mei frowned, and couldn't help staring at Peter's bed for half a second.

This half-second brought a great new discovery. She noticed that there were a few hairs left on Peter's pillow.

A few golden, curly, long hairs.

They obviously didn't grow from Peter's scalp.In fact, Aunt May believed that she had just met the owner of these strands of hair five minutes ago, who was still wearing the slippers she bought for Peter, and raised his hand in a lame hello.

A crazy idea jumped into Aunt May's brain.
