Childhood sweethearts are magic sticks [Comprehensive Yingmei]
Hexagram 57 - Chapter 57
Christmas is just around the corner.
All kinds of merchants in the streets and alleys began to prepare their Christmas decorations a week ago, and those who moved a little slower were all dressed up before midnight today.
The restaurant is full of reservations from brunch to midnight, and the songs played in both the restaurant and the store are all related to Christmas, from "Santa Claus Comes to Town" to "That Moose Got Drunk and Bumped", from the opening of the store to the evening, there are ten songs I was stunned for a few hours, but not a single song was played repeatedly.
Youthful girls, wearing red hats with white fur balls on their heads, red skirts and white cotton boots, dressed themselves as playful and lovely elves, holding their boyfriends dressed as Santa Claus.
Such a lovely pairing can be seen everywhere on Christmas Eve.
Even before in Ilvermorny, although the only god the wizards believed in was Merlin, as more and more little wizards from mixed blood or No-Maj families joined, in order to respect their habits, Ilvermorny There will be Christmas too.
On Christmas Eve, those little wizards who choose not to go home will wear cute and cute elf costumes in the castle with a warming spell, with golden bells around their necks, jumping and jumping as they walk. The bell rang non-stop.
The divination professor seldom smiles on weekdays, but on Christmas Day, he will use magic to create antlers on his head, which is very cute.
Christmas is a magical holiday. Everyone is in a surprisingly good mood on this day. Even if someone accidentally does something wrong, everyone will be tolerant and forgiven.
It is precisely because of the warm and happy celebration of the festival together that Ruth's favorite festival since she was a child is Christmas.
Originally, Ruth wanted to spend this year's Christmas with Peter, but the charity party was on Christmas night.She had to speak at the party and clarify and respond to some recent remarks that, although not malicious, must be taken seriously.
"Hiss..." Ruth stood in front of the full-length mirror and desperately stretched her hands backwards to zip up the skirt on her back, but she couldn't reach the half-zipped zipper anyway.
This is her bedroom. Due to the arrangement of the public benefit party in the 'Stark Tower', her bedroom was temporarily changed to a dressing room shared with Natasha.
"Ruth? Why are you still here?" Natasha, who had finished speaking at the stage and returned to the locker room, was about to leave, but happened to bump into Ruth who was struggling with the long skirt, "Don't be nervous, I'll help you .”
Seeing that Ruth, who was careful in the past, was flushing and feeling like she was about to faint from lack of oxygen in order to zip up the zipper at this moment, Natasha quickly stopped her movements and stepped forward to help her arrange her clothes.
"Every time I see you wearing a long skirt, I will question your gender, clumsy like a boy."
She made fun of Ruth in a low voice with a smile, but when Ruth turned to look at her, there was a trace of undisguised surprise in Natasha's eyes, and she couldn't help adding another sentence after her words: "Don't Speaking of boys, I don't think there will be another girl in this world who can show off the girlishness of this dress like you."
Her compliments were sincere, and the dress to be worn at the Christmas Charity Party was specially designed for Ruth by a well-known Italian designer whom Tony paid a lot of money for.I heard that after seeing the photo of Ruth, the designer praised her again and again, calling her a muse and a lovely elf.After pushing all the orders for a whole month, I only made dresses for Ruth alone. The designer was very efficient. When the delivery was agreed, six skirts with different styles and themes were presented in succession, including long skirts and short skirts.
And Tony took a fancy to this green dress named 'Frigg of the Fairy World' at a glance.
The moment Ruth put on this dress and turned to look at Natasha, she really realized how cute Frigg would be if she was an elf. Ruth with black hair and black eyes is not only an elf, but also an elf. An elf from the East.
She is beautiful without losing the playfulness and cuteness unique to girls. The eyelashes flutter between the opening and closing of her eyes, coupled with her dimples and half-moon eyes, people can't take their eyes off once they look at her.
"Natasha is the best, she always praises me." Ruth was full of smiles, the blush on her face was still there, and Pepe's urging voice sounded in the headset. Cast a 'warmth spell', then opened the door, ready to enter.
"Help me say Happy Holidays to Dr. Banner. That's right! Don't forget to tell me his reaction to your Christmas dinner."
Before leaving, she did not forget to wink at Natasha playfully.
Dr. Banner, who has already suffered from the psychological shadow of Natasha's own cooking, will taste nearly ten "Love Feast" made by Natasha on Christmas Day. What will be his reaction?
Ruth was curious.
**
Ruth and Natasha left with their front feet, and Peter entered through the only window that could be opened in the room.
In fact, he had arrived long ago. He planned to leave the invitation card with the "dating location" written on it together with the gift at the window, but happened to bump into Ruth unzipping his clothes, and Peter let go of the spider silk in his hands in fright. fell down.
Gifts and greeting cards all come out of hand.
He didn't react until he fell down twenty floors in an instant, and quickly used spider silk to stick all the gifts and greeting cards that landed a little slower than him.When he returned to the floor of Ruth's bedroom again, Peter only dared to hold the spider web in his mouth, leaning his back against the window of the lower floor, and sticking his hands to the glass.
While pricking up his ears to listen to the voices in Ruth's room, he closed his eyes nervously.Peter blushed from his cheeks to the roots of his ears. The more he didn't want to recall the scene he accidentally saw just now, the more Ruth appeared in his mind unconsciously.
Obviously there was no time to reveal anything, but just a zip movement made Peter's nervous face turn red.
He waited cautiously until he heard Ruth and Natasha, who came in later, leave one by one. After the door was closed twice, Peter, who was slightly cooled by the cold wind, opened the window and jumped in cautiously.
He tiptoedly placed the gift and greeting card neatly on the table, thought for a while, and opened the closed greeting card again, revealing the contents of the greeting card, and then solemnly pressed the gift in the middle of the greeting card to prevent it from collapsing. superior.
"Is this eye-catching enough? When Ruth comes back later, you will definitely notice it at first sight, right?" Peter murmured.
Not long after Ruth left, the smell of her was still lingering in the room. Surrounded by such a sweet and familiar smell, it seemed that there was an illusion that Ruth was by his side, in his arms.
Once he noticed this smell, the image of Ruth pulling the zipper inexplicably appeared in Peter's mind again, and his face, which had just returned to normal color, was so red that it was about to bleed again.
"No, no, it's so hot, I can't think about it anymore, it's too wretched!"
Embarrassed and shy, Peter rushed back to the window, wanting to escape from this heart-stirring room. He squatted on the window sill and kept fanning the wind on his face with one hand as if to cool down, while clutching the window with the other.
Before he turned his back and planned to jump, he couldn't help but took a deep breath facing the room.
***
Ruth, who had already stepped onto the stage and faced countless flashing lights, didn't know what kind of lovely scene happened in the bedroom after she left, nor did she know that there was a long-awaited letter on the table in the bedroom. Greeting cards are waiting for her to review them in person.
Natasha had already said all the polite words at the beginning. When Ruth came on stage, they exchanged simple greetings and politeness with each other, and then they quickly got to the point.
Reporters raised their hands to apply to speak, and Ruth selected reporters who were close to each other to ask questions individually.
As the official spokesperson of the Avengers, Ruth is the one who deals most often with the media. With her excellent affinity and skillful routine ability, almost half of the reporters have fallen in love with this "never late, no airs, sweet talk" Ruan Ruan's divination master.
Tea and snacks will be prepared for the reporters before each opening.
During the conversation, as long as the quality of the reporter is not low, Ruth will basically answer every reporter's question. She will not favor any one person and will take care of every reporter as much as possible.
And after the end, she will also ask people to prepare some packaged and portable desserts made of seasonal fruits for the reporters as souvenirs.
Such a polite, thoughtful, gentle and cute master of metaphysics, who occasionally helps them with divination.The reporters not only didn't hate Ruth, they even liked her so much that they exploded.
In addition, their attitude towards the Avengers has also softened a lot. They will focus on public welfare in this meeting, because this is what the Avengers are most looking forward to.
"Excuse me, since the earth will no longer be attacked by alien civilizations, and even the crime rate is gradually decreasing, and the police's capabilities are sufficient to deal with all the dangers that have occurred in the near future, is there still a need for the existence of the Avengers?" A reporter asked a question.
Although what he thought in his heart was 'Nonsense, of course it is necessary. '
However, in view of the fact that this rumor has been raised more frequently recently, in order not to allow it to expand and intensify, it is necessary to seek an official explanation earlier.
No malice, just helping the Avengers in disguise.
In this world, kindness always goes both ways.
As long as you pay, you will be rewarded.
****
Today everyone seems to be invariably interested in Ruth's bedroom.
Peter left, and soon after the window was closed, Tony followed.
He holds a rose in his hand and a cartoon brooch in his left.
——This is the rose in the magic world, and it is said to have medicinal effects. The seeds were given to him by Ruth two months ago. It is said that the color of the roses grown will be much brighter than ordinary ones, and the fragrance has no side effects. Not only refreshing If the brain is eaten, it also has a nourishing effect.
—and the brooch was the Christmas present he was going to give Ruth.The appearance of the cartoon is a Q-version image created by an online painter for Ruth. Ruth with rabbit ears and a tail is very cute, and Tony immediately took a fancy to this appearance.
After paying the artist $[-], he got permission to make the brooch, and although it would be used in silence without anyone noticing, it wasn't Tony's style.
He respects the copyright of every creator.
The new brooch not only changed its appearance, but also added a new AI to it.However, during the production, Tony did not extract Peter's voice, but used a girl with an Irish accent as the material, and named it 'Friday'.
It took a long time to make this brooch, and he didn't show up for a day just to be able to adjust it a few times before sending it out, and send it out after confirming the perfection of the brooch.
"Huh? Who sent this?" Tony walked to the desk by the window.
I have to say that the location and arrangement Peter chose to put the presents were really eye-catching. Regardless of Ruth, Tony noticed the greeting card on the desk that was pressed by the gift box at the first sight when he opened the door and entered.
He put his gift aside, picked up Peter's greeting card and studied it carefully.The eyes turned from left to right and then from right to left, back and forth several times, and read the "love letter" with less than ten lines twice.
I don't know what Tony was thinking when he read Peter's love letter to Ruth for the first time, but after he read it again for the second time, he was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something.
Finally, fold the greeting card and put your hands flat in front of your body, and press the wrist watch upwards on a button on the right side of the strap that you can't see unless you look carefully. Two seconds later, Pepe's face appears on the screen projected by the wrist watch .
"Tony? Aren't you planning to play tonight? Is there a special arrangement for contacting me at this time?" Unexpectedly, Tony would call her in person at this time, and Pepe showed her surprised appearance uncharacteristically. In front of Tony.
The look of staring blankly at the screen is very cute. Tonight, she has her long golden hair rolled up, and her well-maintained neck and collarbone look no different from that of a teenage girl.
Although there were many people behind, there was no noise at all. Only Ruth was speaking in the audience, as if answering someone's question.
"Yes." Tony nodded and put the greeting card back on the table, and walked towards the half-open door, "You tell Ruth that I'm going to take over the speech and she can come back. Oh right, you can help me Think of an explanation."
He pulled the door open with his hand, but the moment he stepped out of the ground, he suddenly remembered something and turned back and walked into the room.
"Wait, wait a few seconds and tell her again."
Tony returned to the desk by the window, and put Peter's cards and presents back together.
"Give her the brooch another day," he whispered.
While taking away his gift, he put the rose on Peter's card.
Not signed.
*****
"...the Avengers don't exist only when Earth is threatened. Although, when the Avengers were originally formed, it was to bring together a group of talented individuals and see what could be accomplished, When people need it, come together and win the battles they can't win."
When Tony arrived, Ruth hadn't finished speaking. As soon as he got to the point, he didn't come to the stage but stood quietly waiting for her to finish.
"...But now, even if there are no unwinnable battles, the Avengers will still not disband."
"Because we exist for people to live a better life. This has always been our common goal. Protecting people is not just about war, and we don't only appear when the earth is about to be destroyed."
She didn't prepare the manuscript in advance before going on stage, because all the words came from her personal thoughts after being in close contact with the Avengers.
There is no need to modify at all, and there is no need to prepare in advance, just say what comes to mind.
"...There are still many people in need of help in this world. Even if there is no war, they are still suffering from the pain of disease. The most important thing for the Avengers now is to let more people understand these patients. That's why we're holding this banquet tonight."
"The Avengers will not disappear, but will appear in front of everyone in a different way." For fear of interrupting Ruth, no one reminded her that Tony had arrived, until Ruth glanced at the back of the stage looking at her and thought When Tony saw something, he realized that he had already arrived.
Ruth sped up her speech slightly: "But what I said is not contagious, because I did a good job, but those real heroes, you know or don't know their real names, they would rather use these talking time to spend more time. Help a few people, they will not hype, but because of this, they will be misunderstood."
"Luckily, the public reaction has allowed us to regain our momentum when we were on the verge of disappointment again and again."
"It is you who support superheroes not to be disappointed in the world and continue to protect the world."
Ruth conveyed her thoughts to all those who love superheroes through the reporters present.
"It is everyone who believes in heroes and everyone who needs the help of heroes."
She said everything she wanted to say in one breath, and then announced to the reporters the surprise of tonight. Tony, who hadn't planned to appear, decided to play temporarily, and he will take over for the next session.
When the two hugged on the stage, Tony whispered quickly in Ruth's ear: "Go back to the bedroom, there is a surprise on the table."
Ruth looked at Tony in surprise, and mouthed a "surprise?" to him, but Tony didn't explain to her, but added a sentence as he passed by.
"Merry Christmas."
Then, he stood in the center of the table and pressed the headset switch.
******
Peter waited for a long time downstairs in the 'Stark Tower', surrounded by mostly couples wearing similar outfits and rushing to the restaurant.
He didn't know that Ruth was holding a press conference at this time, and he didn't know that she hadn't seen the greeting card at this time, and was persistently waiting for her response.
The goose feather-like snow has been falling non-stop since the morning, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the ground. Even if there are workers who are not off work for Christmas and are working hard to clean the road, it is still prone to various car skids, or The thing where someone accidentally falls.
Although he was waiting for Ruth, Peter would certainly not turn a blind eye.So during the short waiting time, he has been helping people, changing into the spider suit at super high speed every few seconds to help people, and taking off the suit at the fastest speed, and standing back under the agreed Christmas tree.
But an hour passed, no matter how anxious he ran back, he didn't find Ruth.
"Did you not notice my greeting card?" Peter comforted himself. Ruth must have not seen it, so she didn't come down to look for him. If she refused, she would definitely send him a text message.
'correct!Short message! Peter's eyes lit up, he quickly took out his phone from his pocket, and edited the text message.
[Ruth, did you see the greeting card I put on the window sill?Please reply if you agree or reject!Merry Christmas. ]
"Are there any special events for the Christmas Avengers? Who are you going to spend Christmas with!"
At the same time Peter pressed the send button, a reporter's voice suddenly came from the large screen hanging six to ten floors away not far in front of him.
"Hmm..." There was Ruth's thoughtful voice.
Peter quickly looked up at the screen.
It was Ruth on the screen, her eyes looking up, she seemed to be thinking about 'Christmas Day activities' and preparing to answer the reporter.Looking at the background, it should be the interview they gave when they were doing public welfare activities in the hospital, just the day before Christmas, when she rejected him.
"Of course, we are going to spend Christmas together. As for the special event." Tony on the side took the words, and the camera turned to him, only to see Tony lowered his head slightly, his eyes protruding from the top of the sunglasses, and cast a provocative look at the camera, " I won't tell you."
Then everything in the picture turned into a picture of them playing and chatting with the children, which looked very heartwarming.I don't know who was behind it, but he seemed to intentionally edit the scene of Ruth showing a warm smile and the scene of Tony's eyes turning gentle together.
In fact, those gazes were not all for Ruth, in fact, more time was spent looking at other children, but in the later editing, it was like Tony looking at Ruth with soft eyes.
Of course Peter didn't know the truth of the matter, what he saw was what he wanted to show later.
"Wow, even the Avengers gather at Christmas, wondering what their 'secret activities' are? Speaking of which, I also want to spend Christmas with the divination master, her smile is like the sunshine in winter , it is really enviable to spend Christmas with her!"
The reporter sighed exaggeratedly.
……
"So they spent Christmas together... There's no way, it must be too lively, so Ruth didn't notice my message, and didn't see my greeting card." Peter shrugged and suppressed his lost heart. Emotions, deliberately ignoring another questioning voice in my heart.
'Why did Natasha separate from Ruth if the Avengers got together?Will there be only Ruth and Mr. Stark for Christmas? '
He shook his head violently, as if trying to shake this terrible thought out of his head.
While speaking, white breath spewed out from Peter's mouth, and slowly drifted away in the air.He sniffed, and pulled up the scarf around his neck, covering half of his face.
******
When Ruth returned to the bedroom and saw the greeting card, Peter was no longer at the agreed place.She looked around, and although Peter was no longer there, there were many traces of his existence around.
For example, next to the agreed Christmas tree, there is thick snow all around, and there is only one place with little snow on the ground, a thin layer.Not far behind there, there was another man who was hung by a spider's web.
In the communication of the people around, mentioning that man seemed like a thief.
'Looks like he's been waiting here for a long time. '
Ruth thought, then frowned and thought, and couldn't help asking the doubts in her heart: "Then where will he go?"
This doubt didn't last long. Although her head was a little dizzy from the excitement of the prediction in the greeting card, fortunately, Ruth hadn't lost her mind yet.After anxiously walking around the Christmas tree twice at the appointed place, Ruth took a deep breath of cool air with snowflakes in it, and cleared her head.
He turned on a mobile phone in his hand, intending to call Peter.But at the moment when he opened the lock screen, dozens of text messages popped up one after another.
Most of them were sent by customers who used to divination with her, as well as Bruce, other members of the Avengers, and Harry who was far away in Ilvermorny.
The contents of the text messages were all Christmas greetings to her, and nothing changed much, until Peter's text message with a special concern reminder popped up, and Ruth hurriedly clicked on the content of the text message.
There were several text messages from him while he was waiting for Ruth, all of which were missed. As Ruth read quickly, she kept sliding her finger down until the last text message.
[...I'm going home first, it doesn't matter if I don't see you today, in the future...]
Ruth didn't read the next text message. Although Peter was very disappointed in this text message, it at least pointed out where she should go to find him. Ruth was relieved.
"Apparition!"
She chanted a spell, didn't even use other occulting spells in advance, and just disappeared in front of people coming and going on the street.
The next second she appeared in Peter's bedroom.
Sure enough, Peter was lying on the bed looking at the photo of Ruth in his hand without saying a word. He was in a bad mood and expressionless, as if he was in a daze.
Ruth holds her wand and greeting cards in her right hand and her mobile phone in her left.
On the greeting card, Peter's love and apology for her were written. He said that the letter paper can express too little and cannot express a ten thousandth of his feelings. If you want to know all of his thoughts and hear all of his thoughts, then Go downstairs and meet him.
In the phone, he asked cautiously.I don't have the habit of deleting text messages, so cell phone text messages are the best way to express Peter's changes in every emotion and attitude from the beginning to the present.
'What should be done now? 'she does not know.
Peter's confession, Peter wants to be with her, Peter finally has the courage, and there is no obstacle between them.How long she had been looking forward to this moment, so long that she could hardly remember.
Before this moment came, she had fantasized many times about how Peter would confess, under what circumstances, and how she should answer appropriately so that he could make him like her more.
But she missed the first confession.
But the second time was in sight, but she didn't know what to do. After picking up the greeting card and reading the content, she became overwhelmed and hurried to Peter's bedroom.
But what's next?Ask him, why don't you want me to confess?
Ruth thought left and right, and finally bit her lower lip, heartbroken.
"Peter!" She called out Peter's name, and jumped at him in two steps.
Don't hesitate anymore, there is actually no obstacle between the two of them, but it has been delayed until now due to some reasons. Although there are many reasonable explanations, the most important thing is still hesitation.
At this moment, she decided to be brave again.
Although both of them have grown up, and although their identities and moods are different from those in high school, she feels that the initial impulse for love still cannot be discarded.
At this time, Peter, who was lying on the bed, was in a very sad mood. He was imagining the scene of Ruth and Mr. Stark loving Christmas, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.
Just when he was in a trance and had already started to fantasize that he rushed to the screen and snatched Ruth, he suddenly heard Ruth's voice.
"Peter!" she called his name in a trembling voice.
Peter was baffled. He thought he was imagining too much, and even imagined Ruth's voice. He only heard a few brisk footsteps on the right, and then a green figure suddenly jumped onto the bed and sat straddling him.
The scent of jasmine fell from behind to the front as he bowed his head, black hair sweeping to his cheeks, blushing cheeks, half-moon-shaped black eyes with watery luster, and those white hands that were just grabbing the clothes on his chest.
"...Ruth?" Peter was almost speechless by this scene, and swallowed the saliva that didn't exist. He looked at Ruth with dry lips and tongue, and only held back her name for a long time.
"I saw your greeting card. I just saw it. I didn't spend the holiday with the Avengers. I just didn't see your greeting card. If I had seen the greeting card earlier, I would have gone to you a long time ago..." the girl said incoherently Explaining, she opened and closed her lip glossed mouth, Peter's eyes were attracted to it, and he couldn't look away at all.
He suddenly remembered a long, long time ago, the night before the girl went to Ilvermorny to go to school, she had a dinner at Parker's house. At that time, the corner of her mouth was covered with flour from Aunt May's hand. He wanted to wipe it off, but in the end he didn't have the courage He reached out and touched the corner of her mouth.
And because of this regret, in the few nights after the girl left, his dreams were full of the girl's lips opening and closing.
"...I, what I want to say is, I like..." I don't know what the girl said before, but when Peter came back to his senses, Ruth was already planning to confess to him, and she looked very nervous.
And Peter couldn't bear it anymore, he leaned forward and kissed him.
"I should confess." He whispered while kissing her.While the girl was stunned, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, dripping between their touching upper lips.
In fact, he should have confessed. In the beginning, Ruth shouldn't have been so sad.
……
She is so sweet.
Even tears are sweet.
The author has something to say: Do you love me? Do you love me? Little fairies, confession chapter, big fat chapter!
Finally together, it can be regarded as the end of the main text! !The following is full of love and affection after falling in love, and there are probably 30 to [-] words left!Strive to finish within [-] words!Thank you for your unwavering support along the way, I love you, love you, and I am so touched!
Then the next book to be opened should be "(Comprehensive, British and American) Psychological Leaker", which tells the story of an unlucky heroine who intends to attack whoever will hear her heart.
All kinds of merchants in the streets and alleys began to prepare their Christmas decorations a week ago, and those who moved a little slower were all dressed up before midnight today.
The restaurant is full of reservations from brunch to midnight, and the songs played in both the restaurant and the store are all related to Christmas, from "Santa Claus Comes to Town" to "That Moose Got Drunk and Bumped", from the opening of the store to the evening, there are ten songs I was stunned for a few hours, but not a single song was played repeatedly.

"Ruth? Why are you still here?" Natasha, who had finished speaking at the stage and returned to the locker room, was about to leave, but happened to bump into Ruth who was struggling with the long skirt, "Don't be nervous, I'll help you .”
Seeing that Ruth, who was careful in the past, was flushing and feeling like she was about to faint from lack of oxygen in order to zip up the zipper at this moment, Natasha quickly stopped her movements and stepped forward to help her arrange her clothes.
"Every time I see you wearing a long skirt, I will question your gender, clumsy like a boy."
She made fun of Ruth in a low voice with a smile, but when Ruth turned to look at her, there was a trace of undisguised surprise in Natasha's eyes, and she couldn't help adding another sentence after her words: "Don't Speaking of boys, I don't think there will be another girl in this world who can show off the girlishness of this dress like you."

"No, no, it's so hot, I can't think about it anymore, it's too wretched!"
Embarrassed and shy, Peter rushed back to the window, wanting to escape from this heart-stirring room. He squatted on the window sill and kept fanning the wind on his face with one hand as if to cool down, while clutching the window with the other.
Before he turned his back and planned to jump, he couldn't help but took a deep breath facing the room.
***
Ruth, who had already stepped onto the stage and faced countless flashing lights, didn't know what kind of lovely scene happened in the bedroom after she left, nor did she know that there was a long-awaited letter on the table in the bedroom. Greeting cards are waiting for her to review them in person.
Natasha had already said all the polite words at the beginning. When Ruth came on stage, they exchanged simple greetings and politeness with each other, and then they quickly got to the point.
Reporters raised their hands to apply to speak, and Ruth selected reporters who were close to each other to ask questions individually.
As the official spokesperson of the Avengers, Ruth is the one who deals most often with the media. With her excellent affinity and skillful routine ability, almost half of the reporters have fallen in love with this "never late, no airs, sweet talk" Ruan Ruan's divination master.
Tea and snacks will be prepared for the reporters before each opening.
During the conversation, as long as the quality of the reporter is not low, Ruth will basically answer every reporter's question. She will not favor any one person and will take care of every reporter as much as possible.
And after the end, she will also ask people to prepare some packaged and portable desserts made of seasonal fruits for the reporters as souvenirs.
Such a polite, thoughtful, gentle and cute master of metaphysics, who occasionally helps them with divination.The reporters not only didn't hate Ruth, they even liked her so much that they exploded.
In addition, their attitude towards the Avengers has also softened a lot. They will focus on public welfare in this meeting, because this is what the Avengers are most looking forward to.
"Excuse me, since the earth will no longer be attacked by alien civilizations, and even the crime rate is gradually decreasing, and the police's capabilities are sufficient to deal with all the dangers that have occurred in the near future, is there still a need for the existence of the Avengers?" A reporter asked a question.
Although what he thought in his heart was 'Nonsense, of course it is necessary. '
However, in view of the fact that this rumor has been raised more frequently recently, in order not to allow it to expand and intensify, it is necessary to seek an official explanation earlier.
No malice, just helping the Avengers in disguise.
In this world, kindness always goes both ways.
As long as you pay, you will be rewarded.

Today everyone seems to be invariably interested in Ruth's bedroom.
Peter left, and soon after the window was closed, Tony followed.
He holds a rose in his hand and a cartoon brooch in his left.
——This is the rose in the magic world, and it is said to have medicinal effects. The seeds were given to him by Ruth two months ago. It is said that the color of the roses grown will be much brighter than ordinary ones, and the fragrance has no side effects. Not only refreshing If the brain is eaten, it also has a nourishing effect.
—and the brooch was the Christmas present he was going to give Ruth.The appearance of the cartoon is a Q-version image created by an online painter for Ruth. Ruth with rabbit ears and a tail is very cute, and Tony immediately took a fancy to this appearance.
After paying the artist $[-], he got permission to make the brooch, and although it would be used in silence without anyone noticing, it wasn't Tony's style.
He respects the copyright of every creator.
The new brooch not only changed its appearance, but also added a new AI to it.However, during the production, Tony did not extract Peter's voice, but used a girl with an Irish accent as the material, and named it 'Friday'.
It took a long time to make this brooch, and he didn't show up for a day just to be able to adjust it a few times before sending it out, and send it out after confirming the perfection of the brooch.
"Huh? Who sent this?" Tony walked to the desk by the window.
I have to say that the location and arrangement Peter chose to put the presents were really eye-catching. Regardless of Ruth, Tony noticed the greeting card on the desk that was pressed by the gift box at the first sight when he opened the door and entered.
He put his gift aside, picked up Peter's greeting card and studied it carefully.The eyes turned from left to right and then from right to left, back and forth several times, and read the "love letter" with less than ten lines twice.
I don't know what Tony was thinking when he read Peter's love letter to Ruth for the first time, but after he read it again for the second time, he was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something.
Finally, fold the greeting card and put your hands flat in front of your body, and press the wrist watch upwards on a button on the right side of the strap that you can't see unless you look carefully. Two seconds later, Pepe's face appears on the screen projected by the wrist watch .
"Tony? Aren't you planning to play tonight? Is there a special arrangement for contacting me at this time?" Unexpectedly, Tony would call her in person at this time, and Pepe showed her surprised appearance uncharacteristically. In front of Tony.
The look of staring blankly at the screen is very cute. Tonight, she has her long golden hair rolled up, and her well-maintained neck and collarbone look no different from that of a teenage girl.
Although there were many people behind, there was no noise at all. Only Ruth was speaking in the audience, as if answering someone's question.
"Yes." Tony nodded and put the greeting card back on the table, and walked towards the half-open door, "You tell Ruth that I'm going to take over the speech and she can come back. Oh right, you can help me Think of an explanation."
He pulled the door open with his hand, but the moment he stepped out of the ground, he suddenly remembered something and turned back and walked into the room.
"Wait, wait a few seconds and tell her again."
Tony returned to the desk by the window, and put Peter's cards and presents back together.
"Give her the brooch another day," he whispered.
While taking away his gift, he put the rose on Peter's card.
Not signed.
*****
"...the Avengers don't exist only when Earth is threatened. Although, when the Avengers were originally formed, it was to bring together a group of talented individuals and see what could be accomplished, When people need it, come together and win the battles they can't win."
When Tony arrived, Ruth hadn't finished speaking. As soon as he got to the point, he didn't come to the stage but stood quietly waiting for her to finish.
"...But now, even if there are no unwinnable battles, the Avengers will still not disband."
"Because we exist for people to live a better life. This has always been our common goal. Protecting people is not just about war, and we don't only appear when the earth is about to be destroyed."
She didn't prepare the manuscript in advance before going on stage, because all the words came from her personal thoughts after being in close contact with the Avengers.
There is no need to modify at all, and there is no need to prepare in advance, just say what comes to mind.
"...There are still many people in need of help in this world. Even if there is no war, they are still suffering from the pain of disease. The most important thing for the Avengers now is to let more people understand these patients. That's why we're holding this banquet tonight."
"The Avengers will not disappear, but will appear in front of everyone in a different way." For fear of interrupting Ruth, no one reminded her that Tony had arrived, until Ruth glanced at the back of the stage looking at her and thought When Tony saw something, he realized that he had already arrived.
Ruth sped up her speech slightly: "But what I said is not contagious, because I did a good job, but those real heroes, you know or don't know their real names, they would rather use these talking time to spend more time. Help a few people, they will not hype, but because of this, they will be misunderstood."
"Luckily, the public reaction has allowed us to regain our momentum when we were on the verge of disappointment again and again."
"It is you who support superheroes not to be disappointed in the world and continue to protect the world."
Ruth conveyed her thoughts to all those who love superheroes through the reporters present.
"It is everyone who believes in heroes and everyone who needs the help of heroes."
She said everything she wanted to say in one breath, and then announced to the reporters the surprise of tonight. Tony, who hadn't planned to appear, decided to play temporarily, and he will take over for the next session.
When the two hugged on the stage, Tony whispered quickly in Ruth's ear: "Go back to the bedroom, there is a surprise on the table."
Ruth looked at Tony in surprise, and mouthed a "surprise?" to him, but Tony didn't explain to her, but added a sentence as he passed by.
"Merry Christmas."
Then, he stood in the center of the table and pressed the headset switch.
******
Peter waited for a long time downstairs in the 'Stark Tower', surrounded by mostly couples wearing similar outfits and rushing to the restaurant.
He didn't know that Ruth was holding a press conference at this time, and he didn't know that she hadn't seen the greeting card at this time, and was persistently waiting for her response.
The goose feather-like snow has been falling non-stop since the morning, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated on the ground. Even if there are workers who are not off work for Christmas and are working hard to clean the road, it is still prone to various car skids, or The thing where someone accidentally falls.
Although he was waiting for Ruth, Peter would certainly not turn a blind eye.So during the short waiting time, he has been helping people, changing into the spider suit at super high speed every few seconds to help people, and taking off the suit at the fastest speed, and standing back under the agreed Christmas tree.
But an hour passed, no matter how anxious he ran back, he didn't find Ruth.
"Did you not notice my greeting card?" Peter comforted himself. Ruth must have not seen it, so she didn't come down to look for him. If she refused, she would definitely send him a text message.
'correct!Short message! Peter's eyes lit up, he quickly took out his phone from his pocket, and edited the text message.
[Ruth, did you see the greeting card I put on the window sill?Please reply if you agree or reject!Merry Christmas. ]
"Are there any special events for the Christmas Avengers? Who are you going to spend Christmas with!"
At the same time Peter pressed the send button, a reporter's voice suddenly came from the large screen hanging six to ten floors away not far in front of him.
"Hmm..." There was Ruth's thoughtful voice.
Peter quickly looked up at the screen.
It was Ruth on the screen, her eyes looking up, she seemed to be thinking about 'Christmas Day activities' and preparing to answer the reporter.Looking at the background, it should be the interview they gave when they were doing public welfare activities in the hospital, just the day before Christmas, when she rejected him.
"Of course, we are going to spend Christmas together. As for the special event." Tony on the side took the words, and the camera turned to him, only to see Tony lowered his head slightly, his eyes protruding from the top of the sunglasses, and cast a provocative look at the camera, " I won't tell you."
Then everything in the picture turned into a picture of them playing and chatting with the children, which looked very heartwarming.I don't know who was behind it, but he seemed to intentionally edit the scene of Ruth showing a warm smile and the scene of Tony's eyes turning gentle together.
In fact, those gazes were not all for Ruth, in fact, more time was spent looking at other children, but in the later editing, it was like Tony looking at Ruth with soft eyes.
Of course Peter didn't know the truth of the matter, what he saw was what he wanted to show later.
"Wow, even the Avengers gather at Christmas, wondering what their 'secret activities' are? Speaking of which, I also want to spend Christmas with the divination master, her smile is like the sunshine in winter , it is really enviable to spend Christmas with her!"
The reporter sighed exaggeratedly.
……
"So they spent Christmas together... There's no way, it must be too lively, so Ruth didn't notice my message, and didn't see my greeting card." Peter shrugged and suppressed his lost heart. Emotions, deliberately ignoring another questioning voice in my heart.
'Why did Natasha separate from Ruth if the Avengers got together?Will there be only Ruth and Mr. Stark for Christmas? '
He shook his head violently, as if trying to shake this terrible thought out of his head.
While speaking, white breath spewed out from Peter's mouth, and slowly drifted away in the air.He sniffed, and pulled up the scarf around his neck, covering half of his face.
******
When Ruth returned to the bedroom and saw the greeting card, Peter was no longer at the agreed place.She looked around, and although Peter was no longer there, there were many traces of his existence around.
For example, next to the agreed Christmas tree, there is thick snow all around, and there is only one place with little snow on the ground, a thin layer.Not far behind there, there was another man who was hung by a spider's web.
In the communication of the people around, mentioning that man seemed like a thief.
'Looks like he's been waiting here for a long time. '
Ruth thought, then frowned and thought, and couldn't help asking the doubts in her heart: "Then where will he go?"
This doubt didn't last long. Although her head was a little dizzy from the excitement of the prediction in the greeting card, fortunately, Ruth hadn't lost her mind yet.After anxiously walking around the Christmas tree twice at the appointed place, Ruth took a deep breath of cool air with snowflakes in it, and cleared her head.
He turned on a mobile phone in his hand, intending to call Peter.But at the moment when he opened the lock screen, dozens of text messages popped up one after another.
Most of them were sent by customers who used to divination with her, as well as Bruce, other members of the Avengers, and Harry who was far away in Ilvermorny.
The contents of the text messages were all Christmas greetings to her, and nothing changed much, until Peter's text message with a special concern reminder popped up, and Ruth hurriedly clicked on the content of the text message.
There were several text messages from him while he was waiting for Ruth, all of which were missed. As Ruth read quickly, she kept sliding her finger down until the last text message.
[...I'm going home first, it doesn't matter if I don't see you today, in the future...]
Ruth didn't read the next text message. Although Peter was very disappointed in this text message, it at least pointed out where she should go to find him. Ruth was relieved.
"Apparition!"
She chanted a spell, didn't even use other occulting spells in advance, and just disappeared in front of people coming and going on the street.
The next second she appeared in Peter's bedroom.
Sure enough, Peter was lying on the bed looking at the photo of Ruth in his hand without saying a word. He was in a bad mood and expressionless, as if he was in a daze.
Ruth holds her wand and greeting cards in her right hand and her mobile phone in her left.
On the greeting card, Peter's love and apology for her were written. He said that the letter paper can express too little and cannot express a ten thousandth of his feelings. If you want to know all of his thoughts and hear all of his thoughts, then Go downstairs and meet him.
In the phone, he asked cautiously.I don't have the habit of deleting text messages, so cell phone text messages are the best way to express Peter's changes in every emotion and attitude from the beginning to the present.
'What should be done now? 'she does not know.
Peter's confession, Peter wants to be with her, Peter finally has the courage, and there is no obstacle between them.How long she had been looking forward to this moment, so long that she could hardly remember.
Before this moment came, she had fantasized many times about how Peter would confess, under what circumstances, and how she should answer appropriately so that he could make him like her more.
But she missed the first confession.
But the second time was in sight, but she didn't know what to do. After picking up the greeting card and reading the content, she became overwhelmed and hurried to Peter's bedroom.
But what's next?Ask him, why don't you want me to confess?
Ruth thought left and right, and finally bit her lower lip, heartbroken.
"Peter!" She called out Peter's name, and jumped at him in two steps.
Don't hesitate anymore, there is actually no obstacle between the two of them, but it has been delayed until now due to some reasons. Although there are many reasonable explanations, the most important thing is still hesitation.
At this moment, she decided to be brave again.
Although both of them have grown up, and although their identities and moods are different from those in high school, she feels that the initial impulse for love still cannot be discarded.
At this time, Peter, who was lying on the bed, was in a very sad mood. He was imagining the scene of Ruth and Mr. Stark loving Christmas, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.
Just when he was in a trance and had already started to fantasize that he rushed to the screen and snatched Ruth, he suddenly heard Ruth's voice.
"Peter!" she called his name in a trembling voice.
Peter was baffled. He thought he was imagining too much, and even imagined Ruth's voice. He only heard a few brisk footsteps on the right, and then a green figure suddenly jumped onto the bed and sat straddling him.
The scent of jasmine fell from behind to the front as he bowed his head, black hair sweeping to his cheeks, blushing cheeks, half-moon-shaped black eyes with watery luster, and those white hands that were just grabbing the clothes on his chest.
"...Ruth?" Peter was almost speechless by this scene, and swallowed the saliva that didn't exist. He looked at Ruth with dry lips and tongue, and only held back her name for a long time.
"I saw your greeting card. I just saw it. I didn't spend the holiday with the Avengers. I just didn't see your greeting card. If I had seen the greeting card earlier, I would have gone to you a long time ago..." the girl said incoherently Explaining, she opened and closed her lip glossed mouth, Peter's eyes were attracted to it, and he couldn't look away at all.
He suddenly remembered a long, long time ago, the night before the girl went to Ilvermorny to go to school, she had a dinner at Parker's house. At that time, the corner of her mouth was covered with flour from Aunt May's hand. He wanted to wipe it off, but in the end he didn't have the courage He reached out and touched the corner of her mouth.
And because of this regret, in the few nights after the girl left, his dreams were full of the girl's lips opening and closing.
"...I, what I want to say is, I like..." I don't know what the girl said before, but when Peter came back to his senses, Ruth was already planning to confess to him, and she looked very nervous.
And Peter couldn't bear it anymore, he leaned forward and kissed him.
"I should confess." He whispered while kissing her.While the girl was stunned, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, dripping between their touching upper lips.
In fact, he should have confessed. In the beginning, Ruth shouldn't have been so sad.
……
She is so sweet.
Even tears are sweet.
The author has something to say: Do you love me? Do you love me? Little fairies, confession chapter, big fat chapter!
Finally together, it can be regarded as the end of the main text! !The following is full of love and affection after falling in love, and there are probably 30 to [-] words left!Strive to finish within [-] words!Thank you for your unwavering support along the way, I love you, love you, and I am so touched!
Then the next book to be opened should be "(Comprehensive, British and American) Psychological Leaker", which tells the story of an unlucky heroine who intends to attack whoever will hear her heart.
