[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

"Nice scenery, isn't it?" Tony sat on the soft sofa, looking at Ruby who was lying on the glass and looking down.

"This plane is really fast." Ruby sighed sincerely, "It's amazing."

"This is not my fastest one..." Tony smiled, "If you are interested, I can show you my hangar."

Ruby turned her head and looked at Tony Stark who was sitting on the sofa.

The top button of the latter's suit shirt has been unbuttoned by himself, and the collar hangs loosely on his shoulders, revealing the looming and strong deltoid muscles.His chin was raised slightly, and he was smiling. He was sitting in a slightly arrogant posture, but there was no sense of disobedience on him, as if he should be so arrogant.

"Actually..." Ruby said, "I have some questions for you, Mr. Stark."

"Oh, don't," Tony said, "Call me Tony."

Ruby raised her eyebrows, but she didn't refuse: "Okay, Tony."

She is not used to addressing others with this kind of honorific, not to mention that Mr. Stark is likely to be her next host.If the husband comes and goes all day long, she herself will find it annoying.

"Good boy." Tony adjusted his sitting posture so that he would not look so slack and lazy, "Would you like something to eat? I can't guarantee anything else, but I'm sure I can let you taste the most wonderful airplane meal in the world .”

"Uh, actually..." Ruby was about to say that she really didn't want to eat while the business was going on, but she hesitated slightly, and then...

"Okay, just a little hungry."

……

1 minute later.

Ruby stared in a daze at the piles of desserts from all over the world on the small table in front of her.

Even Ruby, who has eaten desserts all over the world and has an extremely picky eye, thinks that the workmanship and design of these desserts can be regarded as ingenious, so delicate that people can’t take their eyes off, even if any one is taken out, it is enough to be recognized internationally. Excellent works that won awards at the Grand Prix.But now, they are just put on the small table in the plane cabin, dubbed the cheap title of "airplane meal", for her to choose at will.

"Oh, in fact, these foods were flown in this afternoon and have been stored in the crisper. It has been three or four hours since they were made, so..." Tony shrugged, "Maybe the taste is not So perfect."

Ruby: "...No, this is already very good."

Tony looked at Ruby's dazed expression, smiled, and said, "Why don't you eat? Do you need someone to feed you?"

In his opinion, the little girl in front of him who looked no more than five or six years old was exactly the age group who needed to be fed by adults, no matter what her actual age was.

Ruby: "...???"

She said in amazement: "No, I didn't mean that..."

"Well, I see." Tony said, he opened the folded napkin and placed it on the little girl's chest, then poked a fresh strawberry with a small fork, and handed it to Ruby's mouth , "Then I'll feed you?"

Ruby cracked.

"No, no, I'll just eat it myself!" She grabbed the small fork in Tony's hand and bit off the strawberry.

Two lasagna tears flowed down her heart: How could this be, it was terrible, other hosts restricted me from eating sweets, why did he just feed me when I came here?It's so weird, my God, is this the fringe benefit of 90.00% deception?I actually feel a little flattered, I am really in Stockholm, woo woo woo...

Tony smiled nonchalantly, and returned to where he had been sitting.

His eyes fell on Ruby, who was eating dessert, and remained motionless.

The little girl's lips are like delicate rose petals after the rain, softer, sweeter and more fragrant than cream.She always has a sweet smile on her face, innocent and pure, spotless, beautiful without knowing it.

Just, too young.

It is so young that it looks like a flower bud that has not yet bloomed, enveloping a beautiful scenery that has never been seen before.This kind of natural and pure beauty cannot be compared with the defective products forged by Extremis virus.

So he asked: "Little girl... Ask a question that may be offensive. Of course, you don't have to answer it."

Ruby looked up at him, "Huh?"

"How old are you?" he asked.

"..." Ruby froze for a moment.

This... who knows?She herself doesn't know how old she is.

So she thought about it and said, "I don't know, maybe hundreds of years old?"

Tony: "..."

Tony: "Then why did you turn into a child?"

Ruby bit down the dense and mellow macaron lightly, and said, "Because...it takes energy for me to transform, and it's easier to transform into a child."

Tony watched as her white teeth tapped the rose-colored macarons, and the bright colors bloomed like flowers in her little mouth.

"Then if I provide you with enough energy." He said, "Can you grow up?"

Ruby looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.

"Of course!" she said firmly.

Brother, what I've been waiting for is your words!

Tony laughed.

"No problem," he said.

Ruby swallowed the macaron in her mouth, coughed lightly, showed a relatively serious expression, and said, "Actually, Tony, I've always wanted to talk to you about this issue alone."

"Really?" Tony raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I want to know..." Ruby said, "Why are you treating me so well and giving me so much energy?"

Her bright eyes stared directly at Tony's caramel pupils, as if she wanted to explore the emotions hidden in those eyes.

But she couldn't see anything.

"Well... that's a good question," Tony said, "Can't I just simply like you?"

"This is actually just our second meeting, right?" Ruby said, "And, I believe that no matter how much you like me, you won't be able to reach this level."

The degree of bewitchment only reflects the host's desire for power, the degree of desire for her, not the host's favorability for the symbiont.

Tony smiled and said: "I have to say, my little girl is really smart. Yes, I really need you to help me."

Hearing what he said, Ruby breathed a sigh of relief.

Showing favor with a purpose is more reassuring than showing favor without a purpose. At least, she can clearly see the price behind it.

"These busyness, don't you simply want me to possess you?" Ruby asked.

"Possession? No, no, no." Tony shook his head, "I'm not interested in this."

He doesn't need to be possessed, his body doesn't need to change.

He is perfect enough.

Ruby: "..."

what?

She stared dumbfounded at Tony's bewitching speed, and the question mark above her head almost broke through the clouds.

"So what do you want?" Ruby asked.

"You should know that I have other identities besides superhero, billionaire, philanthropist, playboy?" Tony said, "Actually, I am also an academic. So I thought, you might be a very Good biology related subject."

Ruby: ...

Ruby was startled.

So, what this guy longs for is... the power of knowledge?

She glanced warily over Tony's head.

Well, the hair is thick, which means it is not strong enough.

"You don't want to shut me up in a laboratory for autopsy, do you?" Ruby showed a disapproving expression.

Tony was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard something unbelievable, he smiled and said after a while, "Of course not."

"you promise?"

"I promise."

Ruby looked into his eyes, trying to read some emotion out of them, but again she failed.

There is only the shallowest smile in those caramel-colored eyes, which makes him look quite kind, and his demeanor is so outstanding yet arrogant, when they are combined together, it doesn't look abrupt, but has a kind of reassuring feeling It feels as if everything is under his control and will never deviate from the course.

If one probed deeper into his emotions, there seemed to be nothing left.

There was nothing in the depths of those eyes.

This made Ruby feel very strange.

She always felt that there should be something there, but now it disappeared.

"It's a win-win deal, girl." Tony said, his voice filled with demagoguery, "I study your symbionts, which can bring progress to our technology, and at the same time allow you to understand yourself better." Myself... perhaps, I can bring you a more transformative evolution."

After a pause, he continued: "If you have a little understanding of Stark Industries, you will know that I am not writing a blank promise."

Ruby was lost in thought.

She knows.

It's not that she doesn't understand Stark Industries at all. After receiving the necklace, she went to find a lot of relevant information, not to mention that there is a Mr. Stark who Peter always whispers in her ear. What a man.

So she is very clear.

This man—the rarest genius ever to be seen—wasn't bragging.

He is really capable of doing it all.

He is almost at the top of the technology side.

So, maybe he really has the ability to research something.

Even if he fails to research anything, it seems that there is no loss for Ruby.

Because Ruby knew that she was no longer the poor little girl she used to be. She had too many cards, and as long as she didn't want to, no one could hurt her.

In case the car really overturned, it would be a big deal to break the contract on the spot and run away!

She still doesn't believe that there can be any enforceable bullshit contract on the technology side!

After thinking for a long time, Ruby felt that she was a little nervous again...

Iron Man is a superhero!

His heroic deeds have long been recorded in history, and Ruby has already known about them!

No matter from which point of view, it seems unreasonable to doubt his motives too much.

Ruby raised her head, her beautiful eyes looked at the veteran of the Avengers.

Tony raised his eyebrows: "Deal?"

Ruby nodded slightly.

"make a deal."

Tony laughed.

While the smile on his face hadn't faded since Ruby had joined him on the plane, this time he seemed to be happier, and it was from the bottom of his heart.

He stood up and hugged Ruby who was sitting on the soft cushion. Before she could react, he stretched out his hand and opened the window of the plane, and jumped out of the window without hesitation!

"Hey, hey! Wait a minute, ah----!" Ruby didn't react at all, the sudden free fall made her completely stupefied, and she couldn't help screaming due to the weightlessness.

"It's okay, my little girl." Tony smiled and hugged the little symbiote in his arms, "Open your eyes and have a look."

Ruby opened her eyes timidly.

The first thing she saw was not a bright and bright round moon and thousands of stars in the sky, but the brightly lit and resplendent New Stark Building standing above the sea.

It straddles the Alcatraz Island, and the dazzling lights shine toward the end of the sea and sky, as if the cold sea is about to boil for it.Amid the whistling wind in the sky, she seemed to be able to hear the cheers of the crowd and the deafening music.

At the same time, Ruby saw countless white light spots flying out of the New Stark Tower, flying towards them at high speed, and then accurately hit Tony's limbs, loading him with armor.The power injection device was turned on, and they turned into a stream of light and rushed to the most dazzling and bright top floor of the New Stark Building.

Tony lowered his head and looked at the little symbiont in his arms who was stunned by the shock.

He smiled and said in a low voice:

"Welcome to San Francisco."
