Chapter 78 Graduation
In the morning, at the graduation ceremony of Midtown High School.

After presiding over some of the previous procedures, a teacher said to a group of graduates: "Next, I invite Gwen Stacy, the representative of this year's graduates, to speak on stage!"

Surrounded by the enthusiastic applause of the graduates and their parents, Gwen, dressed in a bachelor's uniform, stepped onto the podium and said: "Good morning, respected teachers and dear students, today we can stand It's an honor to be here!"

"We both believed we could do something great, and we graduated, and rightly so."

"But, like this short four years of high school, what's so precious about it is that it's not eternal, that it's going to end, and I feel for that."

"And what I said today is to remind everyone that life is short, don't waste it on drifting with the tide, live out your own value, fight for what you cherish, and fear no danger!"

"Even if you may not succeed, this is life, isn't it?"

Looking at the confident Gwen on the stage, Zhou Jiawen couldn't help being a little dazed.

Gwen is so beautiful and generous, with good school grades and a good family background, a goddess-level figure is actually his girlfriend, which makes Zhou Jiawen feel unreal.

After all, Zhou Jiawen is an out-and-out nerdy otaku, and he has been sexually obsessed with such things before.

With the end of Gwen's speech, graduates began to line up to receive their graduation certificates.

When Zhou Jiawen went up, he didn't give Gwen a passionate kiss like Peter Parker in the movie The Amazing Spider-Man.

Instead, he winked at Gwen in a very low-key manner, said thank you, took his graduation certificate, and went on to study.

It has been a while since Zhou Jiawen was reborn in the developed country of America.

But the introvertedness of the Chinese people can't be changed.

He can't do things like making out with his girlfriend in public.

Stepping off the podium, Zhou Jiawen saw Gwen's mother and three younger brothers in the family group behind at a glance.

But she did not see her father, Officer George.

After thinking about it, Zhou Jiawen stepped forward to greet them and said, "Good morning, Mrs. Stacy."

"Hello, Gavin, congratulations on graduating." Helen smiled at Zhou Gavin and said.

Helen, who had learned about Zhou Jiawen's family situation from Gwen, thoughtfully did not ask why Zhou Jiawen came to the graduation ceremony alone, but asked: "How about it? What are your plans after graduation? Continue to study and go to college or do something else?" matter?"

"Well, I don't plan to continue studying. I bought a store in Chinatown and plan to start a small business. I can open it after the decoration is completed in a few days." Zhou Jiawen said.

Speaking of this, Zhou Jiawen also has to sigh that the power of capital is really powerful.

In less than a week, Tony Stark obtained the authorization of most of the works on the market.

Even the supplier helped Zhou Jiawen get it done.

Zhou Jiawen now only needs to wait for the store to be renovated before opening.

Helen became interested when she heard the words, and asked, "Oh, really, it's good to start your own business. What kind of shop is it?"

Although Gwen told her some things about Zhou Jiawen, it was only a general situation. She was quite concerned about the details of her daughter's boyfriend, but it was difficult to ask more questions. Now that she had the opportunity to learn more about her, of course It is necessary to pay more attention.

"It's just a small shop selling all kinds of hand-made models. It's some of my own hobbies. It's not a startup." Zhou Jiawen said with a smile.

"Manufactured?" Helen asked with some doubts, she didn't know much about these.

"It is the models of various characters in various movies, animations, games, comics, etc., which are still very popular among young people." Zhou Jiawen explained.

"Model...like those children's toys?" Helen asked after a moment of silence.

"Uh"

Zhou Jiawen didn't know how to answer, is a figure a toy?It shouldn't be counted, Zhou Jiawen is a little uncertain, even if it is a toy, it is a toy for adults, but the word "adult toy" sounds a bit twisted.

"It can be regarded as a toy, but it is more appropriate to say that it is a collectible." Zhou Jiawen thought about it and said.

"Collectibles? Collection of toys? Well, I am getting more and more confused about the world of you young people, but I still wish you a prosperous business." Helen curled her lips and said helplessly.

"Thank you, why didn't you see Officer George? Didn't he come with you?" Zhou Jiawen didn't want to get entangled in the issue of the figures, so he quickly asked to change the subject.

"George was going to come with us, but on the way, he received a call from the police station saying that there was an emergency, so he went to the police station. You know that's what being a policeman is like, and you need to be on call at any time." Hearing Zhou Jiawen's question, Helen also said with some worry and helplessness.

"That's right, being a policeman is really hard work." Zhou Jiawen echoed.

Is it an emergency?Zhou Jiawen's heart skipped a beat, and then he remembered that in the plot of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, today a group of robbers would rob the Osborne Group of something very important.

The New York police dispatched a large number of police forces and only managed them with the help of Spiderman Peter Parker.

Thinking of this, Zhou Gawen subconsciously looked at the place where the graduates were sitting, and Peter Parker's seat was still vacant there.

Recently, Spiderman's activities in New York have become more and more frequent, and the appearance rate far exceeds that of Ghost Spider Gwen.

This also led to Zhou Jiawen trying to talk to Peter Parker about Osbourne at school several times, but he was not found. In addition, Zhou Jiawen himself was busy with shop decoration, and this matter has been delayed. down.

At this moment, Zhou Jiawen was a little speechless and saw a strange man in a bachelor's uniform and a Spider-Man headgear running over from a distance. It should be the Peter Parker he just thought of.

'Peter, your hood! '

Seeing that Peter Parker was almost running to the front, but he didn't realize that he was wearing the Spiderman's headgear, Zhou Jiawen couldn't help but activated the telepathy technique to remind him.

"Shet!"

Peter Parker was taken aback by Zhou Jiawen's sudden voice.

After reacting, he unconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, and when he realized that the touch was wrong, he cursed secretly, and quickly turned into the dark place of the flower bed by the roadside.

"Gavin, what are you looking at?" Seeing Zhou Jiawen suddenly looking in one direction, Helen became dazed, followed Zhou Jiawen's line of sight but only saw a figure flashing past, and asked with some doubts.

"Oh, it's nothing, a classmate, he seems to be late, he just rushed over." Zhou Jiawen said.

Helen nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.
