[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

"San Francisco is ahead." The driver held the steering wheel and raised his chin towards the towering Golden Gate Bridge.

Peter, who was sitting in the back row, poked his head out of the car window with a look of surprise on his face: "That building is too cool!"

The driver glanced at the direction Peter was looking at, and said with a smile, "Oh, that's the new Stark Building, which was built not long ago."

"Understood." Peter said, "That's where I'm going, please, uncle driver."

"No trouble, it's a meter anyway." The driver shrugged.

Peter is here because he happens to be representing the school in an academic competition in Los Angeles.

The competition lasted for a week, and there was an offseason in the middle. Peter just had three days of free time. He thought that since Los Angeles and San Francisco are so close, he might as well go to San Francisco to find Ruby and Tony to play.

But the huge fare made him lost in thought.

However, surprises always come unexpectedly. Just when he was hesitating, Bruce Wayne actually called him, saying that he needed to check on Ruby's recent situation and reimburse him for the fare.

Peter: Is there such a good thing? !

So Peter agreed immediately, without even informing Ruby and them, just to give them a big surprise.

So when he came to Alcatraz Island full of joy, but was stopped at the end of the bridge and informed that there was no permission to pass, Peter's heart collapsed a little bit.

"Why don't I have access? Ah, sorry, I mean, I am very familiar with Mr. Stark, we have worked together..." Peter said to the security guard who was wearing an exoskeleton and looked particularly capable of fighting.

The security guard was expressionless.

"Okay." Peter said helplessly, "Where can I buy tickets?"

"This is already a private island, sir." The security guard said, "Outsiders without permission are not allowed to pass."

Peter: ……………

So he's already considered an outsider!

In fact, whether it's Ruby or Tony, he's the one who got to know him first, okay?Why is he now an outsider instead!

The little spider stood on the periphery of the Devil's Island, and fell into a state of madness.

Before he had time to say anything else, he saw the security guard pressing the headset. After a while, his serious expression changed immediately, and he suddenly stood up respectfully. He bowed to Peter, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"Come in," he said.

Peter: "...Did Mr. Stark let me in?"

"Yes," he said.

All right.Peter thought helplessly, he still expected to give them a surprise, what the hell was he thinking about peaches.

Peter took the elevator directly to the top floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Peter was almost pierced by the loud rock music that rang through the sky. As soon as he took a step out of the elevator, he was sprayed with ribbons all over his head by the sudden salute.

The sexy supermodel in a bikini held a salute and ran past him with a smile. Peter's eyes were almost blinded by her slender white thighs.

He looked up, and the entire pool garden on the top floor looked like an extremely extravagant party scene, where people drank to their heart's content, robbed the microphone and sang songs, and on the stage at one end of the pool, there were people passionately playing the precious triangle. As for the piano, there is no fear that the water in the swimming pool will make the piano body wet.

There was a lot of voices and the music was deafening. Where had Peter seen such a scene before? He was even a little stunned. In such a noisy environment, even the sense of spiders would become dull.

"Mr. Stark? Ruby?" He called the name of the only person he knew as he walked through the chaotic party scene.

He found them quickly.

It's not because of how keen his observation skills are, but it's hard for him not to notice the most eye-catching focus of these two people.

Ruby was lying on the grass next to the swimming pool, looking down at a holographic projection screen.She was soaked as if she had just climbed out of the swimming pool, her wet hair was hanging down, and she was even dripping water.After being soaked in water, her white clothes almost turned into a translucent material, clinging tightly to her body, revealing her rudimentary figure despite her young age.The reason why Peter can recognize her who has grown up is only because she seems to have noticed him and looked up at him.

Those eyes were so familiar, that face and temperament, exactly like the five or six-year-old girl Peter had seen when she grew up.

Beside her, Tony Stark was sitting leisurely, with a variety of fruit plates beside him, he took out a strawberry from it, and handed it to Ruby's mouth.

Ruby looked up at him, gave him a sweet smile, and bit off the strawberry.

Red juice flowed down the corner of her mouth, dyeing her white collar with bright colors.

"Look, Peter is here." Tony said to her with a smile.

Ruby looked at Peter and smiled at him, "Hey Peter, are you on vacation?"

Peter is stupid.

The moment he saw Ruby, he felt something pin him in place, his heartbeat was out of order, the blood in his whole body was flowing backwards, his brain was buzzing, and only the heart beside his ear was left. The sound of the drumbeat is getting louder and louder, as if the world is covered with a layer of frosted glass, and you can't see or hear anything, and all your senses are only the one in your eyes who is almost completely lying in Tony Stark. A girl in her arms, eating strawberries, with bright red juice flowing around her lips and teeth.

She should have been so white and flawless, like clean snow, like uncut white jade.

But at this moment, she seemed to be dyed bright red, like a flower blooming in the snow, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

but.

— But she shouldn't be like this.

Peter didn't know how long he was stunned, maybe it was only a second, or it could be a long time, when he finally regained his consciousness, he had already walked to Ruby's side, only a few steps away from them——

"Ruby?" he said. "What are you... what are you doing?"

He even felt his tongue was a little knotted.

"We're..." Ruby seemed to be thinking about words, she raised her head and glanced at Tony, who gave her another peeled grape, Ruby could only chew the juicy and sweet grape while saying :"……Fun."

Peter felt the expression on his face completely freeze.

He knew that his current expression must be ugly, because the strange but familiar girl in front of him showed a puzzled expression, and asked softly, "What's wrong, Peter?"

"...It's nothing, it's just..." Peter felt his voice froze, "I didn't expect you to grow up so quickly..."

Ruby smiled at him.

Tony took the bait and said with a smile: "Then I have to take credit for it, after all, I have fed the little girl a lot of nutrition."

While talking, he picked out a bar of chocolate from a pile of food and brought it to Ruby's mouth, watching her eat the piece of chocolate bit by bit until his finger touched Ruby's mouth. lips.

"However, our little symbionts are always underfed, aren't they?" He said with a smile.

Peter just watched Tony's fingers lightly brush Ruby's lips that were as bright as dewy petals, and he only felt a buzzing in his head, and he almost couldn't control his emotions.

—how could he? !

Why would Ruby allow him to treat her like this? !This is too much, this has completely crossed the line!

However, the respect and admiration for Tony tore apart his thoughts so much that his mind went blank and he couldn't even say a word.

At this moment, Ruby suddenly stood up, her wet skirt was still dripping water, and it fell on her white soles, she casually grabbed a handful of candies, stepped on the soft lawn with her bare feet, ran to Peter.

She stuffed the candy into Peter's hand, and said to him with a smile, "Come on, Peter, here you are."

Peter stupidly looked down at the things in his hand.

Seven colorful fruit candies and three chocolates.

"Sweet!" said Ruby. "I promise you'll like it, Peter."

After finishing speaking, she blinked at him, then picked out a red strawberry candy from Peter's palm, and threw it into her mouth.

Then she chewed the candy and ran back to Tony with a smile.

Peter stood there in a daze. He only felt that the candy in his hand weighed more than a thousand catties, and it almost made him unable to move.

"Ruby, Mr. Stark, you..." he asked hesitantly.

"Oh, I forgot to ask." Tony said with a cheerful tone as if he suddenly remembered: "Peter, are you on vacation? It's just in time, our party has just started."

As he spoke, he waved, and a beautiful woman in a bikini came over and handed Peter a glass full of champagne.

"I know you're not old enough to drink, but that's okay." Tony said with a smile, "there's no police to catch you drinking here."

Peter hurriedly avoided the glass of champagne. He felt numb all over and couldn't speak. Holding the candies and chocolates that Ruby gave him, he took several steps back.

"I... I just came to see." He stuttered, "I still have a game in Los Angeles, I have to go back!"

After speaking, he turned around and left the place as if fleeing.

He ran very fast, as if some monster was chasing him behind him.His heart was beating violently, and the picture just now was still reflected in his mind, almost making it difficult for him to breathe.

what is the problem! ?

All the scenes in front of him made no sense to him——

Mister Stark shouldn't be like this, and neither should Ruby!

Peter even wondered if he was hallucinating. He heard Ruby calling his name behind him, but he didn't dare to turn his head. He didn't even dare to leave the elevator because it was too slow. He almost seemed to be running away. Similarly, in the exclamation, jumped from the top of the new Stark Tower——

Tony grabbed Ruby who stood up in shock.

"He'll be fine." Tony said lazily, "This height is not enough to kill the baby in pajamas, not to mention he has something better than a parachute."

Ruby stared at the direction where Peter disappeared for a while, then turned her head and retracted into Tony's arms with a smile.

"Leave him alone," she said, pointing her slender fingers at the precious liqueur chocolate, "I want to eat that!"

Tony rubbed her wet hair almost pamperingly: "Okay, eat as much as you want, if it's not enough, I'll let someone do it."

……

Peter ran all the way.

Facing the humid sea breeze and the hot sun, he ran on the beach in San Francisco until he was finally able to think normally.

He stopped and looked at the thing he was clutching tightly in his hand.

Six candies and three chocolates from Ruby.

This clearly reminded him that everything just now was not an illusion.

Peter sat down on the ground somewhat dejectedly.

At this moment, a figure landed beside him, squatted down, and asked in a somewhat hasty tone: "Have you seen Ruby?"

Peter froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at the person coming.

—Superman.

He was in such a bad mood, even when he saw a famous superhero like Superman, he couldn't arouse any interest in chatting, so he just nodded wearily: "Yeah."

"How is she? Did she say anything?" Clark asked eagerly.

Peter hesitated to speak, and said after a long while: "She and Mr. Stark...they seem to have something wrong... No, it's not wrong, maybe I'm thinking too much, sorry."

Clark frowned. He looked at the thing tightly clenched in Peter's hand and asked, "That's..."

Peter spread out his palms and looked down at the contents in his palms.

"Ruby gave it to me..." he said. "She seems to only care about Mr. Stark, but...but it's really weird. I always feel that there is something wrong with them, and they don’t look like them anymore.”

Clark sighed, stood up, pulled out his phone, and called Bruce.

"Peter has met Ruby," he said. "He said they were a little strange."

"..."

"Yes, Ruby also gave him some things."

"..."

"What? Let me see..."

Clark looked at Peter's palm and said to the phone, "Three blue fruit candies, three yellow fruit candies, and three pieces of chocolate."

I don't know what Bruce said on the opposite side, Clark's face suddenly changed.

After he hung up the phone, the serious expression on his face almost scared Peter.

"What's wrong?" he asked tentatively.

Clark snatched the candy from Peter's hand and reassembled it on the beach.

Three blue fruit candies, three dots.

Three bars of chocolate, three horizontal lines.

Three yellow fruit candies, three dots.

……

Peter's pupils shrank suddenly at the moment when the rearranged candies took shape.

Three short, three long, three short.

— In Morse code, this stands for SOS.
