[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

Zila.Melt a pat of butter over low heat and fry the bread slices slowly.Fry until slightly browned, then put on a plate for later use.The sweet scent of butter wafts through the room, waking up to summer mornings.

Clark put the plate down in a good mood and put a few slices of bacon into the frying pan.They were fried until they were sizzling, but when they turned pale pink, Clark turned off the heat and put the bacon on the bread slices.He opened the refrigerator, took out some asparagus, and then took out some cherry tomatoes.

Clark rinsed them under the tap, weighed the number of cherry tomatoes, hesitated for a while, stuffed a few of them into his mouth and ate them.Audrey doesn't like cherry tomatoes, so it's better to replace her share with mushrooms.So a few miscellaneous vegetables were fried in the frying pan according to the same pattern, and then colorfully and beautifully arranged on the plate.

What's next?The super brain recalled the recipe it had just seen, so Clark started to boil water again.To cheat a little with heat sight, bring the water to a rapid boil and bubbly, add a little salt and white vinegar.Rolling up his sleeves, Clark swirled the water and carefully poured in the eggs, holding his breath.

The next step is to melt the butter in water, add it to a small bowl together with the egg yolk, and then add pepper and salt in an appropriate amount-how much is the "appropriate amount"?Clark pondered gravely at the bowl, and finally decided to follow his instincts.Stir the sauce until it thickens, and remove the eggs that have been simmering for 3 minutes.Arranging the plates was naturally not a problem for Clark. He cooked two eggs Benedict perfectly according to the picture in the recipe, and turned around to pick up the plate.

——He paused, because Audrey was leaning on the edge of the dining table and looking at him with a smile.

His girl was still wearing his T-shirt, which she had scribbled on before bed last night, loosely covering her mid-thighs.Audrey didn't know how long she looked there. She was leaning against the table in a stretched posture, with her long bare legs crossed and her hair piled loosely on her shoulders.The way she smiled at him sleepily made Clark's heart soften.

He tried hard not to look down, touched his nose: "Did I wake you up, Xiaoli?"

"No." Audrey winked at him. "It was the smell of breakfast that woke me up. Haven't seen you make eggs benedict before?"

"I just learned it." Clark puffed out his chest unconsciously, "I think you should like it. Do you like it?"

He got his wish and got a playful blown kiss from Audrey: "I do like it—I can't get enough of the way you cook, Clark."

Even though he had heard Audrey's sweet talk many times, the tips of Clark's ears were still red.They sat down at the table and Audrey poked the yolk of a runny egg with a fork and watched it run tenderly over the slices of bread and bacon.She could smell the warm aroma of food bursting out, filling the apartment.Clark watched Audrey take a bite nervously, and when she looked up again, he asked expectantly, "How is it?"

Audrey frowned.Clark held the knife and fork, waiting for her to say no before tasting it himself.However, Audrey sighed pretending to be sad, and whispered to him seriously: "If we weren't together, there wouldn't be such delicious food. How terrible?"

Clark couldn't help laughing.At this moment, he was willing to make breakfast for Audrey differently until she was gray-haired.Audrey solemnly crossed her hands and propped her chin, and said in the broadcast voice: "The day of Mr. Clark, the little reporter, starts with heating bread slices and instant coffee with heat vision for breakfast."

"Thanks to Ms. Audrey, a food lover, for letting him get rid of the random life of a bachelor." Clark also said solemnly, "There are no more pizza boxes and worn pants everywhere in the apartment."

Audrey laughed and kicked his shin under the table.

After breakfast, it's time for Clark to go to work.While putting on his tie, he looked at Audrey, who was also starting to change clothes: "Are you going to visit the state legislator today?"

Audrey pulled her several suits aside in disgust, dragged out a skirt from the closet, and put it on her body for comparison.She didn't know what she thought of, and she smiled relaxedly at Clark when she heard the words: "Diana suggested to me yesterday not to worry, and I think she was right...so I plan to take my time. I seem to have more than one Yue didn't go to the lab, so I'm going to check it out today."

Clark heard her eyebrows and kissed her forehead softly: "Then, I wish you a successful scientific research today?"

Audrey sent him away with a smile, wishing him no overtime work today.

It was ten o'clock in the morning when she entered the laboratory.The place where she works is in the suburbs of Dawn City. It was formerly called Dawn Atmospheric Laboratory, but because the terrain of Dawn City is not suitable for research, the laboratory moved to Midtown.That period happened to be when Audrey was building the White Tower in Dawn City. She simply resigned from her original position, bought the old laboratory site, and established the Dawn City Institute of Atmospheric Physics on the basis of cooperation with Gotham University.

Half of the researchers and engineers who used to work with her on scientific research projects are still here, and the salary of the research institute is also very generous (Audrey thanked the Wayne Group in her heart countless times), the research institute can also Talk about a lot of talent.There are many academic exchange activities of all kinds, and there are more than a dozen university summer camp teams who come here to visit the White Tower as a meteorological tower.

So when she learned that today was the day to recruit assistant experimenters and assistant engineers, Audrey didn't care. She nodded to express her understanding, and then walked towards the office.

She stopped as she passed a conference room.There was a brown head inside that looked very familiar. Audrey believed that she had seen this head in New York for more than half a month.In any case, that is not someone who should be here at this time, which is very unreasonable.

She looked at who the interviewer for the assistant experimenter was, and found out that it was her former assistant, Pix Winkle, so she knocked on the door and walked into the meeting room.

There were still several people waiting for interviews in the conference room. When they saw Audrey, they thought she was his competitor at first, until Audrey walked around behind the interviewer's long table and sat on the empty chair. .

"This is the head of the institute, Ms. Lewis." Pixar introduced naturally, "The next one?"

Audrey also acted as if she came here specially to observe the candidates, which made several interviewers flush with excitement. They abandoned their usual introverted silence when they were immersed in research, and tried their best to show off their talents.Audrey listened patiently, and watched Pix send them away one by one.

The last interviewer sat down.He was surprisingly young and looked nervous, pulling his tie involuntarily as he sat down.His eyes drifted towards Audrey for some reason, and he didn't sit up straight until Pix coughed.

"Is that Peter Parker?" Audrey turned over a page and said softly, "You don't seem to be an adult yet?"

"Uh." Peter himself seemed to be a little confused, and the set of arguments he had thought up when he came here was a little bit stuck under Audrey's clear eyes.He looked at the interviewer next to him who was beginning to show doubts, and said bravely: "I want to get a letter of recommendation from a university through my summer internship at the research institute. I believe I have the scientific research ability to take up this position..."

Audrey raised an eyebrow at him and didn't ask any more questions.Pixar then asked some basic questions, but nodded in satisfaction.Before he could announce the end of the interview, Audrey stood up and said that she had to leave beforehand, patted Peter on the shoulder unintentionally, and left the conference room.

When Peter walked out of the meeting room, he saw Audrey standing by the window in the corridor and looking into the distance.He walked over, and before he could speak, Audrey turned her head and smiled at him: "Do you want to go for a walk?"

Peter had no choice but to nod, and Audrey led him out through the back door of the institute.The Institute is backed by the foothills, and a sparkling lake can be seen not far away.In summer, the sun pours light on the building surface, which casts huge shadows in the view.

They walked all the way to the lake, and the wind from nowhere kept blowing away the heat around them.It wasn't until the last trace of human voice disappeared that Audrey turned around and said with a smile, "I remember you said that your goal is MIT?"

"Yes, Audrey... Or, it was before." Peter's voice became lower and lower, "But now I don't think it doesn't matter where, Caltech is also very good, and Gotham University is also good.

"

"Is this the real reason why you came to Dawn City from New York?" Audrey's tone was gentle, but her expression was serious. "Although it's not too far from New York, it's not a rational choice, Peter."

Peter pursed his lips, watching Audrey remain silent.Audrey sighed, stared seriously into his eyes and said, "I think we should be acquaintances? What happened? Would you like to talk to me?"

Peter opened his mouth, obviously not knowing how to organize his words.Audrey observed him for two seconds, and suddenly asked, "It's related to Tony?"

Peter was taken aback, nodded, and shook his head again.He lowered his eyes and whispered, "Do you think I'm impulsive and naive, not a mature adult at all?"

"How come?" Audrey chuckled softly, "How old are you, Peter? When I was your age, I was playing model airplanes, partying, socializing, traveling all day...and you've started to put on your uniform Saved the world. The best part is you didn't do it for honor or praise, but to make the world a better place, right?"

"But I always screw up, I always seem to make things worse." Peter lowered his head, "I didn't make the world a better place at all..."

"The world itself is very good. A child as old as you doesn't need to bear so much." Audrey said softly, with the lake silently rippling behind her, "I'm not agreeing with what you said, Peter .It's just that I've seen a much worse world, so I know what a better world looks like...it's a better place because of people like you, Peter. I promise you."

"I don't understand, Audrey." Peter raised his head and replied sadly, "I don't understand what I should do. Mr. Been doing a couple of things wrong lately and I think he's really disappointed in me. He said he wouldn't be writing me recommendations anymore and told me to stop being Spider-Man..."

"Why?" Audrey raised her eyebrows, "Because you almost let Dr. Laser go last time?"

"No," Peter whispered. "It's because I missed two final exams trying to catch a thief."

Audrey's eyebrows dropped back again.
