Maybe it was because Peter drank Felicia that day. After agreeing to break up, Ruth was fooled by his lame "liar". At that moment, she was really shocked and froze in place until Peter left her in a daze. I didn't realize it until I got home.

She should have held on a little longer.

At the same time, she also began to regret that she shouldn't have broken up so casually in the first place. The breakup she proposed because of the "love potion" happened to give Peter an opportunity to leave her.

"That's right," Tony Stark affirmed her thoughts during the video call, "He hit Gwen hard when he got hurt, and he asked me if I had 'superhero' troubles. "

"How did you answer?" Ruth nervously waited for Tony's answer.

"Well," Tony frowned and shrugged, "Of course I don't have such troubles, no one can hurt my friends while I'm still alive, I have the ability to protect them, and of course I will do my best to protect them. "

After he finished speaking in one breath, seeing that Ruth was silent, he added: "But he must have been frightened by what happened this time, and that brat put in a lot of effort to make such a decision. We It can be seen that he likes you very much. Sometimes it is precisely because of liking that we need to alienate."

"But such a reason is too..." Ruth didn't know how to describe her thoughts, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm not afraid of getting hurt, I'm not afraid of anything. But why is he..."

Why do you underestimate me, why do you push me away?

Ruth complained, but she was interrupted by Tony before she could speak.

"I can understand his thoughts." Tony looked at Ruth's dull gaze and shook his head, "Maybe you can't understand it now, but one day you will understand him."

’ Just as he understood why Pepe wanted to leave him. '

Both he and Ruth are not afraid of death, but Pepe cannot bear the death of his lover, and Peter cannot bear Ruth's injury.Sometimes staying far away is not only protecting the other party, but also protecting yourself. '

"But I still don't understand, Mr. Stark..."

Ruth closed her eyes in some pain, "I thought the biggest obstacle between us was that he likes Gwen and doesn't like me, but after so many things happened yesterday, I realized that it doesn't seem to be just that Simple, the relationship between us may not be enough for 'you like me and I like you'."

'There seem to be more factors involved. '

"It's not that simple...Listen, I usually don't care about the love affairs of high school students. Maybe it would be better for you to talk to Natasha about this, but..." Maybe it was because of Pepe, or maybe it was After experiencing these things, he felt a little bit empathetic, and he could understand Peter's thoughts, "But if you like that brat, it might be better to stay away from him until you have the ability to protect yourself."

"..."

Ruth was silent.

"Protecting yourself is the best way to love him." Tony put down the wine glass that he hadn't taken a sip for a long time in his hand, "and, don't forget to make the potion I want quickly, before I waste it." I spent so much precious time enlightening you."

The two signed a longer-term plan, and the order for making potions was scheduled until Ruth graduated from high school.In the contract, Tony mentioned that if Ruth has a chance to terminate the cooperative relationship when she graduates from high school, if she does not terminate at that time but decides to renew the contract, Ruth must guarantee that the potion will only be sold to Star for at least ten years. gram enterprise.

Sold only to Tony Stark.

Overlord treaty, but the benefits are huge, and it serves the party of justice.

**

No matter what Tony said, no matter what Ruth thought, in short Peter's attitude was very critical.

He ignored Ruth.

When Ruth went to school, Peter waited for her at the door as usual, but she deliberately waited until it was only 5 minutes before class, thinking that Peter would put on a tights and hug her as usual go to school.

But she guessed wrong.

Although Peter did not leave Ruth alone, the final result was that the two ignored each other and were late at the same time.

After this failure, Ruth learned her lesson and never deliberately dawdled again, always getting up early to go to class with Peter.

But no matter what Ruth said on the way, Peter didn't reply.

Even if Harry called her, the distance between the two was very short and Peter's line of sight was so good. The moment Ruth took out the phone, Peter saw the caller ID, but he glanced at Ruth's eyes. He looked away again.

Not only in class, but also when Ruth went to divination.

When she was divining, Peter was squatting on the roof in tights—it was captured by the surveillance camera. In order to protect Ruth’s safety, Tony installed more than a dozen surveillance cameras around her divination house, and she could see the roof of Peter from inside the house. every move.

Every day when Ruth went to the divination house, Peter would go, but on the way she left the divination house, Peter never showed his feet without saying a word. No matter how Ruth turned around and called Peter, he never showed up.

—but she knew he was behind him, somewhere.

And Gwen's coma, Harry's confession to Ruth, and Ruth's breakup with Peter, three things caused Peter to lose all his friends at school.

——This also means that he has no need to speak except when answering questions in class, and the new professor does not value Peter as much as the previous professor. Recently, Peter's test scores have also dropped one after another, and he is directly positioned as a teacher with average grades. student.

The professor usually asks the students with the worst grades, and then asks the students with good grades to make corrections and supplements.

Peter wasn't one of those things, and it had been a long time since anyone had heard Peter speak.

——Ruth misses hearing Peter's voice in the message on the mobile phone.

"This is the first day of our relationship. I'm really... really happy. I'll treat you even better in the future, I swear."

……

"When I come back, we will make up all the appointments and confessions you missed. In fact, that is not my first confession to you... Uh, if I really want to make up, it should be the second confession to you." That’s right, I still remember the poem I wrote to you the first time I confessed to you. Ah... (Like suddenly blushing and laying down somewhere, the voice came through the fabric with a feeling of murmuring) I said too much Too much, you should sleep."

"Good night, sweet dreams."

……

"Why did you break up with me suddenly? Why? Answer the phone quickly. There must be some misunderstanding. Answer the phone, Ruth? Let me explain to you. "

……

She listened to the recordings over and over with headphones on, and she listened to them as she walked beside Peter, and even as she sat with him at Parker's house for dinner, pretending Peter was talking to her.

It's just that she doesn't need to answer.

——And she also gave up the desire to talk to Peter in the process of failing to talk to Peter again and again.

But Uncle Parker didn't understand what happened between them. Originally, they didn't want to get involved with the young people's feelings, but the four of them had to eat dinner together every day. Lost appetite.

But no matter how Uncle Parker teased the two of them, Peter seemed to lose his voice, chewing the food with his mouth open and closed, but his expression was indifferent, and he didn't have any desire to answer at all.

"Did you quarrel with Peter?"

After Uncle Parker made fun of Ruth and Peter for the sixth time, he heard the sound of Peter putting down his fork and quickly running back into the room, closing the door heavily.Aunt May couldn't help but asked Ruth in a low voice.

"No."

Thinking about the relationship between Peter and herself that has been at a freezing point recently, Ruth shook her head. She still had a headset in one ear, and it was Peter's voice in the headset that kept her from being defeated by Peter's indifference. I can still eat normally.

"really?"

Aunt May wanted to ask further, because whether it was Peter, who was uncharacteristically indifferent to Ruth, or Ruth, who looked like he tasted mustard when eating fresh milk pudding with a mournful face every day, she couldn't believe it. 'So simple.

But Uncle Parker changed the subject, and he distributed the strawberry pudding on the plate to Mei with a fork, "Come and taste this pudding, I think the pudding you made today is very delicious."

"But I bought it from the supermarket."

Aunt May blinked at Uncle Parker innocently, but Uncle Parker glanced at Ruth calmly, and after realizing that she was in a daze, he took the conversation with a sigh of relief.

"To me, the pudding you picked today is very delicious and very discerning."

Although Ruth looked dull-eyed, it was just an expression she had gotten used to recently after being distracted frequently. She was not really in a daze. In fact, Ruth saw the cautious appearance of the two elders.

There was a burst of sadness in her heart, and she suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"There must be some misunderstanding..."

Listening to Peter's anxious voice of breaking up from the earphone, Ruth felt a little bit of bitterness in her mouth just after swallowing the pudding. She put down the pudding spoon and bid farewell to the Parker couple.

"I'm full. Today's research topic is very difficult and very time-consuming."

***

"You actually made potions outside the school!"

A roar exploded in the basement.

In the next second, Ruth, who was bottling the potion, was startled by the familiar voice and threw the crystal bottle and the medicine bucket out of her hands. She exclaimed.

"I brewed the potion for three days!"

Seeing that the three-day painstaking effort of the potion was about to fall into ruin, Ruth almost closed her eyes with heartache, but a wonderful thing happened at this moment.The moment the water-blue potion was about to touch the ground, it seemed that gravity was out of balance. The overturned crystal bottle stood up again and returned to Ruth's hand, and the medicine bucket returned to the crucible.

All the clear liquid returned to the crystal bottle.

All the pictures seemed to be reversed. Ruth stared at this scene with wide eyes. It should have been a common occurrence to her, but now she is like a Missouri country that has never been in the city. General.

And all these surprised expressions were suppressed when the face of her potions professor appeared in front of her.

"Professor Pritchett." She lowered her head slightly and greeted the meticulously combed man in a black wizard robe in front of her. "I sent you a letter a month ago, but you haven't replied to me yet."

Although this professor is well-known in the college for his harsh tongue and strict requirements for potion making, but the one who is more famous than his strictness is Professor Pritchett's partiality.

As his number one eccentric student in the academy, Ruth was not particularly afraid of being discovered by him secretly making potions, but complained slightly.

"That's because the potion formulas you asked about are all forbidden drugs." He snatched the crystal bottle from Ruth's hand. His professional habits prompted him to first check whether there was any sediment in the bottle, and then check its color. And clarity, finally put the bottle mouth under the nose and sniffed it lightly, raised eyebrows slightly, "'Rejuvenating agent'? Well done."

After speaking, he magically took out a cork from his pocket to cover the mouth of the bottle, and put it in his pocket.

However, what potions masters are most used to is to carry a dozen crystal bottles and corks on their body, in order to have tools to use when encountering precious medicinal materials in the wild.

"Professor...?" Ruth looked at Professor Pritchett's movements with some hesitation and pain, "That's the potion I've been brewing for three days..."

"Do you know how much it violates the law to make potions outside the school and sell them to No-Majs!" Ruth finished speaking halfway, only to see Professor Pritchett's eyes and eyebrows raised, and he was still expressing a moment ago. Satisfied with the bottle of potion, he taught Ruth a lesson the next moment, "I have been observing for a few days, and you sold the potion to a No-Maj named Tony Stark at a high price, and he is still alive. Study the formula of the potion privately!"

He seemed to be really angry, but it was probably because he knew the professor too well in the college, or the recording of Peter telling jokes in the earphones made her unable to be serious. Ruth always felt that Professor Pritchett was deliberately off topic.

I saw the professor turning left and right in her basement, muttering as he wandered around.

"Why do you need the formula for the elixir of life? It's a forbidden technique." He picked up a bottle of armadillo bile and stared, "Armadillo bile? Isn't this the material of the intelligence enhancer? You actually...have a whole bottle , how much will it cost?"

"Not much, not much..." Ruth said humbly.

This bottle of bile is less than the price Ruth sold to Stark for half a bottle of Veritaserum.

"There is also the antidote for 'Love Potion', no matter what antidote needs mandala grass, but... 'Unicorn' blood? You still have this kind of thing, I heard from the medicinal material dealer that all the medicines in half a year 'Unicorn Blood' is all pre-ordered, why are you still getting it?"

Professor Pritchett gasped. He had seen too many potions in Ruth's basement that surprised him.

His anger at discovering that his most cherished apprentice was engaging in dangerous behavior gradually turned into envy.

"If I knew you had it, I should have come to you sooner." He frowned and muttered.

"Because... I paid the deposit in advance." Stark's commission to Ruth was divided into three by her, one was given to Gwen's mother, one was secretly deposited in Aunt May's card, and the last was given Ruth used to buy potion ingredients for sound research, which Tony acquiesced as a necessary investment.

"As for the love potion..." Ruth shook her head and said, "I don't need an antidote for it now."

"Oh that's good, then let's talk about your private potion, I don't think you realize the seriousness of the problem." Pritchett patted his pocket, "As for the problem just now That bottle of potion has a good color, just treat it as the homework you owed me for almost a year after dropping out of school."

Watching Ruth's mouth twitch, Pritchett smacked his lips.

Who even sold out the ingredients of the 'refreshing potion'? It turned out that the one who wiped out the precious medicinal materials in the United States was the potion wizard who made him worry and regret.
