Ruth's heartbeat has never been normal since she found a nearly full bottle of love potion in the basement.

Either jumping fast, or jumping slowly.

Just like her ups and downs, it's hard to describe, she can't find a clue, let alone a solution.

After replying Gwen's text message and talking on the phone with Harry for nearly half an hour, Ruth squatted in the basement and concentrated on brewing the potion, while trying her best to rush her to hand it over to Tony S. Tucker's list, while constantly driving the 'love potion' out of his mind.

——But even though she worked so hard and stayed up all night, when the alarm clock "ring" at six o'clock set to "get up early to help Aunt May make breakfast for Peter" sounded, she was still short of two bottles of "moderate medicine" can make.

That happened to be the hardest and most labor-intensive kind of potion.Even if she was given another morning, Ruth couldn't guarantee that she could make two bottles of 'moderate agent' perfectly.

What's more, after staying up all night, she was already a little top-heavy.The aroma of herbs overflowing from the basement and no matter how tight the blockage is, there will still be a lot of 'Peter's smell', which make Ruth drowsy like sleeping pills.

Holding the phone and thinking for a long time, Ruth finally called Tony Stark and wanted to talk to him.

"Mr. Stark, I'm sorry, I..."

She made a video call, and was picked up within three rings. She pointed the camera of her mobile phone at the only unobstructed wall in the basement, and Tony Stark's face appeared on it.

But before Ruth could tell her why she called, Tony waved a finger in front of the screen, interrupting her.

"Mr. Stark...?" His expression looked a little subtle, his cheeks tilted slightly to the left while frowning slightly, "You actually use an honorific name..."

After being stared at by him with surprised eyes for a few seconds, Ruth blushed.From Tony's few words, she has almost imagined how the other her treats Tony these days.

No honorifics, no politeness.

——This is most likely because she doesn't like Tony herself, and she can't understand his behavior and slightly frivolous words.

But this is just something Ruth puts in her heart. Everyone has haters in their hearts, but most people will not reveal these excessively.Not only for the face of the other party, but also for the sake of self-cultivation.

Even if she doesn't like Tony, at least she will call Mr. Stark when talking. Even if she needs money and will increase the price of potion, she will not charge him such an outrageous price.

And looking at it is already six o'clock in the morning, the background behind the man in the video is not a resting place like a bedroom, but a place like a research room full of mechas and design drawings.

Combined with the slightly tired face on his face, which is different from the previous ones full of confidence, and now with a weak voice, she immediately understood that the seemingly cynical rich young master is actually working hard in places that others can't see .

——Even if he is a genius and his net worth is over [-] million, he will still 'work' all night on weekends until dawn.

Looking at Tony like this, and thinking about the text messages she sent him, Ruth felt a little ashamed.

It seemed that Loki had indeed exposed her dark side, amplifying every bit of 'negative emotion' in her heart.What would it be like to be so greedy for a passerby who had only met her a few times to 'cut flesh'?

Ruth didn't dare to think about it. The only thing she dared to think about now was to read Loki's horoscope in a leisurely way, and then find the points that could be used for her to 'teach' Loki a lesson.

——After such an idea came into being, Ruth didn't notice anything wrong.

Although her "other side" has disappeared, her appearance this time has actually brought some changes to Ruth, but Ruth herself did not notice this.

"It's five o'clock in the morning, and I hope you have a valid reason for looking for me."

After Tony finished those few words that seemed surprised but were actually just a joke, he noticed that the girl on the other side of the video had flushed cheeks. She was obviously looking at Tony, but she didn't know what she thought of through these words. After turning around a few times, his complexion became stiff.

This forced him to change his teasing, and stopped teasing this 16-year-old girl. He sat up straight, and the fatigue on his face after a night of work gradually faded away with several changes in his facial expressions.

"what……"

After Tony's reminder, Ruth came back to her senses, her eyes filled with apology when she thought of what she was going to say next.

"I'm really sorry, there have been a lot of things recently, so I only had time to finish 90.00% of the orders, and I still haven't finished the 'palliative agent', and I also want to discuss the price of the previous potion with you..."

Ruth had a headache when it came to the inflated potion price.She originally wanted to bring the price of the potion back to a slightly more normal level, but after she checked all the previous text messages between 'The Other Side' and Tony, she didn't know how to speak.

——After all, after Tony paid the high price, the "other side" would reveal with Tony from time to time that "the price of potion ingredients has increased again" from the side. The price of the potion is the foreshadowing.

Ruth is a money fanatic, but she didn't expect that when the "money fan" was infinitely expanded, her method of soliciting money would be so sophisticated, and the mind that hadn't grown in 16 years would directly grow to the maximum within a week.

"fine."

Ruth was still thinking about how to say so as not to show off, but Tony interrupted Ruth again, he waved his hand indifferently, took a few sips from the cup on the table beside him, and lowered his head to straighten his chest. Short sleeves with 'Cat' print.

——Autumn has invaded New York for a long time. If it was not for the party, Ruth would never wear short sleeves or skirts in such weather.But after thinking about it, where Stark lives, whether it is a home or a company, the thermostat must be turned on 24 hours a year.

"I don't need the 'palliative' for the time being. Banner, he and Na these days... his girlfriend is having a hot fight, and there is no sign of anger. You can give it to me later. As long as the other urgently needed potions As long as you make it, as for the cost..."

He lowered his head and took a pen to write and draw on the design drawing on the table, and his tone sounded even more indifferent after mentioning 'expenses'.

"You can just send me a message to tell me how much money you need. These things are trivial, and there is no need to call here."

Although Ruth couldn't understand the content of the design drawings on his desk and on the whiteboard behind him, judging from the fineness and complexity of the design drawings, they must be confidential.

Seeing him openly revealing such highly confidential documents in front of her, and then thinking of the various battles in the newspaper about [Tony Stark’s new mecha design leaked], Ruth seemed to be Suddenly I understood why those blueprints were 'easily leaked'.

Ruth thinks it's because Tony is careless and often accidentally leaks secrets when he's videoing with people.

But she never thought about how Tony Stark would casually answer anyone's video call at six o'clock in the morning. As a genius, why would he really easily expose the 'secret' to outsiders.

She didn't think about 'trust' at all.

"I……"

Ruth wanted to refute Tony's words. She didn't make this call to raise the price, but Tony still didn't give her a chance. After "understanding" her intentions, she hurriedly replied and hung up again. Telephone.

"Only when I want to make a video call with you, can I call my phone number, you know? As soon as possible, determine the time when you can come to the 'Avengers' to divination, and then send it to me, and... about the last time you said Yes, things like 'potion' and 'divination' are not allowed to be published, I have talked with... my secretary, if you are still worried, we can sign a non-disclosure agreement."

Ruth, who originally wanted to change the price, suddenly lost her mind after hearing what Tony Stark said.

'Non-Disclosure Agreement'?

——Does this mean that her 'other side' pays more attention to safety than Ruth herself, and while taking advantage of magic loopholes to make money, she still doesn't forget to warn the other party to keep her secret.

After all, the Ministry of Magic had warned her not to tell other No-Majs anything related to magic.Although her usual divination can be counted as something 'other than magic', and it's okay to make money from it, people don't associate divination with magic at all.

But potions are different.

When she made the potion for Gwen with great enthusiasm, guilt and anxiety filled her mind, and Ruth didn't even think about the rules set by the Ministry of Magic for her.Now with the help of Tony's 'non-disclosure agreement', she was in a cold sweat belatedly.

After all, leaking magic-related content to a No-Maj was punishable by death.

And 'divide the Avengers'...

——Although she saw a text message with this content when she read the text message earlier, she thought it could be avoided, and it was something that the 'other side' did not agree to.

But judging from Tony's tone just now, he seemed to be very serious, and he was very sure that she would divination for them, but Ruth was not in the mood to divination for them now, and she wanted to refuse.

But before she had time to ask Tony for a more detailed explanation, and before she had time to refuse the divination appointment, Tony in the video seemed to have found something wrong with the design drawing.

The brows that had just been loosened were frowned again, and he raised his head to look at Ruth, his eyes were indifferent and serious.

"that's it."

He seemed to be in a hurry, and before he could even say goodbye, he pressed the hang up button, and the blue fluorescent screen on the wall was instantly turned off, and it was pitch black.

Only Ruth was left squatting on the cement floor in the basement, her body stiff and cold, holding her legs and holding the phone in a daze.

'A lot has really happened this week. '

Without the urging of 'orders', Ruth could finally relax for a moment. She crossed her legs and rested her chin on her knees, her eyes were empty, and she was in the basement without the sun's rays coming in from the window.

'I have so many things to do. '

She tried her best to pull out the messy thoughts in her head one by one and arrange them neatly.

'I'm still two potions away. '

'I'm still going to find time to do a divination for the Avengers. '

'I'm going to read that strange man's horoscope again. '

……

and many more!

Ruth suddenly thought of an important question. After making the 'Felix Elixir' that day, Loki controlled her mind, and it was only eight hours ago that she woke up again.

Although Peter said when he sent her home, the 'Felix Elixir' was delivered to Gwen completely and safely.

Although Ruth did see the content of the text message thanking 'Felix Elixir' when she returned home to check the text message, but all this does not mean that Gwen is safe and her situation is no longer in danger.

Whether Gwen's bad luck has changed will not be confirmed until Ruth re-divinates and reads the horoscope.

This made Ruth break out in a cold sweat, and she quickly got up from the ground to go upstairs to get a plate to re-calculate for Gwen.Even Gwen's relevant information had been called up and opened by her on the phone, but a new message suddenly popped up at this moment.

[new information]

[Peter: Good morning, are you awake?I really want to have dinner with you before I leave, but if you haven't woken up yet, I'll postpone this breakfast until the day after tomorrow when I come back, sweet dream. ]

……

"Oh, right."

Ruth almost forgot the most important thing, the biggest reason that disturbed her mood all night.

'You should also follow Harry's advice...'

The white fingertips were pressing on the screen of the mobile phone, obviously caressing every word on the screen, but the force was so strong that the fingers lost the last trace of blood, and its edges even looked slightly transparent.

**

"I broke up with him..."

Harry, who hadn't slept all night, waited for six hours, and finally received a call from Ruth when the sky turned gray.

When the screen had just turned on and the bell hadn't rang, he quickly took the phone on the table back to his hand, wanting to press the connect button.But when Harry moved his finger to 'answer', he hesitated.

Harry deliberately counted the time in his mind, and when the bell rang for five seconds, he unhurriedly connected the phone, suppressed his voice hoarsely, and asked the other party why he was here while yawning.

'finally……'

Hearing the crying voice of her favorite, and imagining that she had turned back into the timid and delicate white rabbit Ruth a week ago, Harry suddenly felt a hot current in his heart, which was constantly gushing out.

"You made the right choice, don't be sad, it's all for Peter's good."

Harry comforted Ruth.

After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and the hot current was urging him to say something more.After thinking about it, he continued.

"I will accompany you through these days."

This week, Harry had a very bad time. After he confessed to the girl he liked, he was rejected. In the end, he found out that the other party's motive for reminding himself of "confession" was just to make him angry with the girl she really liked. people.

—Peter.

he is very angry.

But when he found that the girl started to avoid him and didn't reply to his text messages.

Apart from being angry, Harry was also anxious. It was hard to be taken advantage of, but no matter how hard it was, it couldn't compare to his sweetheart ignoring him and turning a blind eye.She didn't even want to tell him the news about her relationship with Peter.

'Maybe she felt guilty about me. '

Harry thought so, and this thought brought him a glimmer of hope, and also brought him a lot of motivation.

He continued to send text messages to the girl, as if even if the other party did not reply, it would not make him feel any frustration, and kept sending text messages, hoping to get a reply from the other party.

Finally, hard work paid off, and after a week of "hard work", Harry finally received a reply from Ruth.

[Sorry, I haven't been in a good mood recently, so I haven't been able to reply to the text message. ]

She looked distressed and apologetic for what she had done recently.

Almost immediately after receiving the text message, Harry dialed Ruth's phone, and heard her concern for him, apology to him, comfort to him, and a few words of nothing mixed in the chat. An irrelevant sigh.

He keenly captured Ruth's depressed mood, and after he tentatively asked, he got the affirmation from the other party.

'Her depression is indeed related to Peter'.

This news made Harry a little happy. Although he didn't want to see Ruth sad, such sadness was tantamount to bringing him hope for a turnaround.

So, after Ruth stammered and slurred why she felt bad for Peter and asked Harry if Peter liked her because of some 'shameful' things she'd done lately .

Whether Peter would still like Gwen if it wasn't for what she did this week.

After hearing her ask such weird questions, make such unreliable guesses, and seem to have completely forgotten that she used him, Harry quickly refuted her.

"No."

"Peter has liked you for a long time. Before you appeared, I might have thought that Peter liked Gwen, but the moment you appeared at school, I noticed the way Peter looked at you, and that was the way I liked it. '

He had meant to tell Ruth that.

But when the truth came to his lips, Harry changed his meaning obsessively.

"Although I don't quite understand what you mean, it must not be your fault. Don't feel sad about it. After all, it's not easy to distinguish right from wrong in things like feelings."

Since Ruth seemed to be thinking about breaking up with Peter, there was very little he could do.

Just pretend to understand her.

"If you have to feel guilty..."

And gave her a gentle push behind her back.

"Maybe, I can give you a solution."

enough.

The author has something to say:

And she was complained by her friends that this is the most daily drama she has seen. Other people’s dramas are either dead or the earth is destroyed. Why isn’t the earth on my side destroyed?

I... emmmm (She makes a lot of sense, but I can't refute it?!)

What was left unfinished in the last chapter.

"But I'm not her."

Not the 'you' in Peter's mouth.

Not the 'you' I liked early on.

Ruth originally had two wishes: 1. To be with Peter (before the confession). 2. Leave Peter completely (after being rejected).Black Ruth originally planned to be with Peter, then dump him, and accomplish everything Ruth wanted to do. She wanted to dominate Ruth.

But after discovering that Peter is actually very gentle and really likes Ruth.

Black Ruth softened her heart.

She decided to back off.
