[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

A month later.

Ruby was lost in thought as she looked at the character panels of Jason, Bruce, and Dick.

The fit of the three of them has been successfully brushed to more than 90.00%.

In other words... the wool of the bat family seems to be bald by her...

And Ruby's energy has also broken through the [-] mark, and there is only less than [-] energy left from [-].

Originally, [-] energy seemed to be an unattainable goal, but now it seems that it is not so difficult.

All she has to do now is to make up for the last bit of energy deficit.

From then on, she can completely become a human being indistinguishable from normal people, and maintain this state for a long time.

So, during a wild weekend with Peter, Ruby came up with her plan:

"Peter, about Mr. Stark's invitation last time..." she said to Peter who was sitting next to her fighting with a game controller while chewing on potato chips.

"Huh?" Peter glanced at Ruby who was eating potato chips like a little hamster, and as soon as the movement of his hand stopped, the villain on the screen was killed by the monster immediately, "Oh, I'm dead."

——No matter how many times I watch it, Ruby's human form is so cute!Foul!

Ruby fed him a piece of crispy potato chips: "Come on, drink a bottle of blood."

Peter was very cooperative and gnawed off the potato chips: "Okay, Peter Parker is resurrected with full blood!"

"So, what do you think of my proposal?" Ruby asked.

"What do I think?" Peter showed a puzzled expression. "Mr. Stark only invited you. I always thought you didn't want to go. If it was me, I would have already agreed."

"You like him so much?" Ruby said.

"Well..." Peter thought about it seriously, and said, "You know Ruby, ever since I became Spider-Man, I've been thinking about what I can do with this power, or rather, I In what direction should I work hard, and Mr. Stark...he is like a goal, he gave me a lot of help, just like you back then, do you understand what I mean?"

Ruby listened quietly and nodded: "I see."

She looked up at Peter, and asked with some doubts: "When he first met you, was he also so enthusiastic?"

Peter was taken aback by the question.

"Uh..." He thought about his words, "It doesn't seem so obvious. Maybe it's because he likes you more."

After all, Mr. Stark looked at Ruby in a way Peter had never seen on any other occasion.

That look was like seeing some rare treasure in the world.As long as she is within sight, everything else seems to be a foil.

"Believe me, Ruby." Peter said firmly, "I've never seen Mr. Stark look at others like that. He must like you very much. He is a very good person, although sometimes it seems A little...well, a little frivolous, but believe me he's a very, very gentle person at heart, just like you—you're bound to have a good time."

Ruby nodded thoughtfully.

Ruby: System, if one day all the unscrupulous and untrustworthy people in this world die out, Peter will definitely become the healthiest one among the small group of people who survive.

System: So?

Ruby: So Tony Stark must be a good guy.

System: ...seems to make sense.

……

Right now, San Francisco.

Once Alcatraz Island, now on Stark Island, Tony Stark sat in a recliner covered with soft velvet, holding a glass of scarlet wine boredly, watching the sunset at the end of the sea from the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Beside him, a young woman with scantily clad clothes and an even more bloody figure than a supermodel is sitting on her knees. She has an ambiguous smile on her face, her fair and slender hands with bright red nail polish Fingers climbed up slowly along the beautiful and strong muscles of his calf, with an almost flattering hint.

Beside them, there are handsome men and beautiful women everywhere, empty wine bottles and medicine bottles are all on the ground, and the air is filled with an almost thick ambiguous atmosphere.

Tony withdrew his gaze from the distant setting sun, and casually poured the red wine in his hand down the woman's chest.

The red wine glides across the fair skin, like an abstract painting where temptation and desire coexist.

The woman gasped, stood up, her slender legs straddled his body, clinging to his waist, almost entangled with him.

At this moment, Tony's phone vibrated.

He lowered his eyes and saw the name on the caller ID.He stretched out a finger to block the red lips offered by the woman.

"Work time, honey," he whispered. "It doesn't seem like a coincidence... Maybe you need to enjoy this drink by yourself, or, you can join them."

"I'll wait for you..." The woman smiled and took the wine glass from his hand, and walked aside with slender legs.

"Then let's pray that you won't wait too long." He bent his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, and at the same time, he picked up the phone.

"Mr. Stark!" Peter's voice came from the receiver, "Sorry to bother you, about the incident last time..."

Tony's half-closed eyes opened slightly, and there was finally a little light in those eyes that had no emotion at all.

He cheered up a bit, sat up from the reclining chair, and said, "Let me guess... our lovely little girl has already made a decision?"

Ruby answered the phone and said into the microphone: "Sorry, Mr. Stark, it took so long to reply to you..."

She took a deep breath and glanced at Peter, who gave her an encouraging smile.

"I'm honored to be at your party," Ruby said.

"..." Tony looked at the sunset at the end of the Pacific Ocean again.

There was only the last twilight of the setting sun left, and the night fell heavily, and the darkness poured down from the sky like a tide, dyeing the blue sea into pitch black.

"No, it's my pleasure, little gem," he said with a smile. "I'll pick you up in an hour."

"Ah? So fast?" Ruby froze for a moment, "I haven't told you yet..."

"I'll talk to Bruce," Tony said. "Didn't he tell you? We're on good terms—but, as far as I know, he doesn't seem to be your guardian or anything, you think?" You don’t need his permission to do anything, do you?”

Ruby looked at Peter in surprise, and finally nodded: "Then I will trouble you."

Tony hung up the phone.

The setting sun had completely sunk into the sea, leaving only a dark night sky.

He pressed the control button of the light, and immediately, all the lights on the New Stark Building on the Devil Island lit up, illuminating the night sky in an instant, like an immortal lighthouse burning under the sky, It was as bright as day above the sea.

The eternal sun will also set, but he will not.

It's just that he needs something brighter to illuminate this resplendent island, a ruby, a shining pearl that never goes out.

And she will be here soon.

……

As Tony promised, he arrived in New York from San Francisco in less than 45 minutes.

He was flying a plane that surpassed the world's technological level by at least 50 years. The blue flames that spewed out turned into a brilliant band of light in the sky, and then landed in front of her.

Tony jumped out of the plane, and the wind lifted his tie and the hem of his clothes, but it didn't affect his outstanding temperament as if he was out of tune with the whole world.

No one can ignore his presence on any occasion.

Because he himself is a dazzling and bright light.

"I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long. After all, the night wind in New York is quite cold, and you can easily catch a cold if you wear less clothes." He walked up to Ruby, squatted down, looked into the little girl's eyes, and then showed a smile: "It won't matter when you get to San Francisco though...it'll be warm there."

His eyes fell on Ruby's fair neck: "Why didn't you wear the necklace I gave you? Don't you like it?"

Ruby said: "Because I like it very much, I put it away for fear of breaking it."

Tony laughed.

He reached out and touched Ruby's cheek, and his fingers lightly slid across her straight eyelashes: "What a clever little wit who can perfunctory me."

Ruby: "..."

Gan, this guy is so high-ranked, he can tell at a glance that she is perfunctory him!

System: Isn't it because your rank is too low?

Seeing the silly expression of the little symbiont, Tony couldn't help pinching her face, and whispered, "It's so cute..."

So cute that people want to lock her up so no one can see her.

Especially those beautiful and clean eyes...

It's like an astonishingly exquisite piece of porcelain, beautiful and fragile, and can even easily arouse people's desire for protection and... desire for destruction.

Peter, who was accompanying Ruby, tried to gain a sense of presence: "That, Mr. Stark..."

Tony seemed to have just noticed the existence of Peter. He glanced at the latter: "Oh, kid, if I remember correctly, you have to go to school tomorrow?"

Humble high school student Peter: "...yes."

"Hope you've finished your homework," Tony said teasingly, hugging Ruby as he spoke.

The little girl is extremely light, as if she has no weight at all, light and fluffy, soft, and feels a little too good to the touch.

"Go home early." He said to Peter, "It's getting late."

Peter glanced at the time on his watch.

It's only seven o'clock...

He held back for a while before saying sullenly, "Okay, Mr. Stark."

Tony looked down at Ruby and said, "Say goodbye to Peter."

Ruby turned her head and shook her little paw at Peter: "Study hard and improve every day, Peter."

Peter, who was dealt a fatal blow by Ruby's words: "..."

They are all children of the same age, why don't you go to school, and I have to work hard to get into college!

Peter shed the humble tears of a poor high school student.

He watched Tony carry Ruby into the plane, he watched the pair of expensive leather shoes step on the steps, one step after another, and watched their backs gradually go away.

For some reason, his heartbeat suddenly became disordered for a moment.

The evening wind blew on his thinly clad body with the damp smell of the Atlantic Ocean, and at this moment he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Peter took a breath, and subconsciously held down his hairy arm.

Could it be that this sudden feeling was caused by a spider...?

... But where is the danger?

Peter frowned, watching helplessly as the brilliant blue band of light disappeared at the end of the night sky, turning into a small star.

Maybe it's just because it's a little cold, he thought.
