"So, tell me about your girlfriend?"

Aunt May's voice sounded a little cold.

After Peter followed her into the house, Aunt May didn't give him a second look.The little boy who was at a loss rubbed his left foot with his right foot, and carefully pawed at the kitchen door like a pupil punished to stand.

Of course he knew why Aunt May was angry.

Even a parent would be angry if he knew that his son would not go to school or go home because of a woman.

Thinking of this, he wished he could grab his good friend Ned by the collar and shake it vigorously more than 300 times: What reason is it not good to say that he eloped? ?

He imagined tens of thousands of versions of confessing to Aunt May, and now he decided to use the original version.

He could say something like: Hey Aunt May, guess what, I'm actually Spider-Man.Yes, it's the one flying around on TV.During this period of time, I have some personal matters to settle with the Avengers, and I will not miss my homework. Captain America will give me extra lessons—oh, it’s the Captain America that Uncle Ben and you both like very much.He is very nice and always takes care of me, bbb.

Peter adjusted his stance, trying to look as handsome as possible.

With one hand resting on the kitchen door frame, he plucked his hair nervously.

Peter: "Aunt May—"

Aunt Mei cut vegetables with her back turned to him, her tone was still calm: "How is she? You have to swear to me that she didn't let you do anything dangerous."

Peter's phrase "I am Spider-Man" has come to his lips.

He clenched his fist involuntarily on the kitchen door frame.

Peter: "—she's a nice person. I, I like her very much."

Aunt May: "So good that you run away? I don't think so. God, does she know you're underage? Does she know she's committing a crime?"

Peter whispered, "I'm sorry, Aunt May."

Aunt Mei: "Will you leave after Christmas?"

Peter lowered his voice: "Sorry, Aunt May..."

But he immediately added: "It won't be too long, I, I will break up with her after a while, and then I will come back to study..."

Aunt Mei was sad and anxious at first, but after hearing what he said, she was so angry that she couldn't laugh or cry.

She finally couldn't help it, she turned around and hugged her little boy, and gently wiped away her tears on his increasingly broad shoulders.

Aunt May: "Oh my God, Peter. Do you know how many places I searched for when you first disappeared? I went to the police station every day to ask if there was any news about you, printed tens of thousands of copies of your photo, and posted On every street in New York. I go out early every day and grab every stranger I pass by and ask them if they've seen my sweet boy—God, Peter, why are you doing this to me?"

Peter was accidentally told to cry by her, and tears fell down.

His nose was red from crying, and he was terribly wronged.

For just this moment, he looked nothing like the famous New York superhero.

On this day, he shoveled snow for Aunt May, erected a Christmas tree, and made her a big Christmas dinner—just like every other year.

When shoveling snow, each of them put on a pile of thick gloves, with white breath in their mouths, chatting on the snow.

Aunt May: "So why can't you bring your girlfriend back? Do I seem so unreasonable?"

Peter said vaguely: "There are many reasons... but there is certainly no danger. It's just... you know... just the reason."

He didn't know why, and he wanted to catch Ned out again and beat him up.

Aunt Mei's mood stabilized a bit, but she was really curious: "What does she look like? How old is she?"

Peter didn't know what his girlfriend looked like, so he wiped his nose and started talking nonsense:

"She, she has beautiful blue eyes and long brown hair. She is probably five or six years older than me."

Aunt May was worried: "Is she a social person? I mean... I know she may not be a bad person, but will she make friends... For example, people who came out of prison?"

She tried her best to speak politely, for fear of irritating the young man in front of her who seemed deeply in love, and fearing that he would run away from home again if he didn't pay attention.

But deep down in her heart, she is very contemptuous of this woman who abducted her own baby. As she said before, it is also a crime for an adult woman to rape an underage boy.

Peter: "No, she, she is a child of a good family. She is one of the kindest and gentle people I have ever met, and she is very good to me-except you and Uncle Ben, she is the best to me. Then she The cooking is super delicious, and I also like small animals. We met because of small animals-oh yes, he is also a veterinarian, and I suck cats in his clinic every day... "

As Peter talked, he stopped doing the work in his hand, leaned on the shovel in the snow, and started talking on his own.

Aunt Mei keenly captured the "he".

What's the situation, my cub didn't dare to go home because he had a boyfriend?

Does she seem that open-minded?

Aunt Mei said nonchalantly: "If 'she' is really suitable for you as you said, why can't you bring it back and show it to me? Now I hide and dare not see people, what should I do when I get married?"

Peter stammered: "Jie, I guess you can't get married if you get married. Maybe I will break up with her soon and go home..."

Aunt May:? ?Come on, why does this sentence sound so scumbag?

Aunt Mei: "No, Peter, no one is against you being together, but I can't imagine what kind of love requires you to run away from home and give up your studies to achieve it."

After Aunt Mei finished speaking, she looked up at Peter and found that her cub didn't listen at all.

While the boy was stuttering and saying "I can't get married", his face wrapped in the scarf was flushed red, he didn't know what he was imagining, and there was a sweet smell of shame from the inside out.

Aunt Mei: "..."

She always felt that the little prodigal son Peter should spend a long time on the road before he could go home with peace of mind...

Joward kept his promise and picked Jerry out of the orphanage early on Christmas morning.

The little doctor rarely put on a long trench coat today, and carried a bag in his hand, which contained spare clothes.The bright red scarf set off the white skin and blue eyes. When he was standing in the snow waiting, his whole body seemed to be shining quietly.

And the little boy who used to be skinny is now raised in a circle.

Wrapped in a super thick down jacket, he bounced off the steps like a little cotton ball.According to the agreement, first show the transcript to Joe Ward.

Jerry frowned: "What's the matter with your hand? Have you done that urgent mission? Will you take me there next time? My ability can help you."

Joe Ward didn't answer, let the little guy pull the hem of his clothes and lead him to the cinema.

Joward: "Jerry, you're a bit of a nerd. Don't you like math?"

Jerry: "Are you a devil, can Christmas not mention mathematics..."

Joe Ward smiled and put the report card back in his pocket: "OK. Today only."

He still has a ball super in his pocket.

At this time, Qiuqiu Chao took the report card, scratched his head, and studied it super seriously.

According to the Christmas plan of Bat Improvement, although Qiuqiu Chao also has family members, he is the main force of the entire team after all, and it is unrealistic to exchange 15 hours at a time.

He can only redeem 5 hours on Christmas Eve and go home for a Christmas dinner.

But Qiuqiuchao didn't feel disappointed.

The Kent couple's good upbringing made him a Kansas boy with no haze.

He believed that his mother, Martha, believed in herself completely, and believed that her son could get through all difficulties; so even if they could not be together for a while, they were still connected from the bottom of their hearts.

He happily sat in his pocket and was led around by Joward.

He watched movies, went shopping, and went to the amusement park with Joe Ward and Jerry.

The two added a ball and made a wish to the huge Christmas tree in the amusement park together; the smile on Jerry's face made him feel that Little Joe was great.

Maybe when he recovers in the future, he can also use the identity of Clark Kent to take Little Joe and Jerry to play further afield.

Qiuqiu was thinking secretly.

... Immediately afterwards, he thought of the salary of the little reporter, and shed tears of poverty.

Joe Ward sits in McDonald's with Jerry.He supported the windbreaker with his splinted arm, covering some of the pockets indiscriminately, and then quietly handed the French fries dipped in ketchup to the edge of the pocket.

Qiuqiu whispered happily: "Supie~"

He hugged the little doctor's fingers and quietly ate the French fries.

Joe Ward tore off some more tissue and wiped his ketchup-smeared little face.

Qiuqiu Chao's Doudou's eyes are shining: "Supie~~~~~~"

Joe Ward's arm was injured, and when he took Jerry to the amusement park, he couldn't play with him in many projects-this made Jerry's Christmas look a bit regrettable, and it will have to be made up next time.

He thought quietly.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, according to the schedule, Joe Ward exchanged 5 hours for Qiuqiu Super, and asked him to go home through the portal.

Whether it's New York or the Metropolis, the telephone booth has its own invincible stealth buff for Dachao.

Joe Ward found a retro red-painted telephone booth in the amusement park, and when he quietly let Qiuqiuchao back to its original body, he was almost smashed against the wall by Dachao's bulging chest muscles.

Da Chao: "Oh, I'm sorry Xiao Qiao, watch out for your arms—!"

Joe Ward wanted to open the phone booth and let Da Chao change clothes inside.But when he looked outside the phone booth, there seemed to be a lot of people queuing up. As soon as he opened it, everyone knew that Da Chao was here.

Joe Ward: "I'm closing my eyes and not looking, you change your clothes quickly."

Da Chao hurriedly said, "Okay."

He wore a plain coat and trousers over his uniform, covering his entire body, except for a pair of square-rimmed glasses.

Dachao felt guilty.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to fly to Kansas by himself, Doctor Strange will put him near the farm, where there are not too many people.

He looked down at Xiao Qiao who was squeezed into the corner of the phone booth.

Joe Ward said he didn't want to look, so he really closed his eyes obediently, waiting for him to change his clothes and leave.

The little doctor closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly, his soft cat lips were slightly parted, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like he was asking for a kiss.

Da Chao: "Hey~"

He pressed his cheek to Joe Ward's lips—well, it's finally complete.

Joward with eyes closed: ? ? ?

Dachao smiled: "My Christmas present."

He added, "By the way, you must be back at the clinic before 9 o'clock tonight, Xiao Qiao."

He stepped through the teleportation circle in the phone booth and disappeared into a burst of Kansas' unique sunshine.

Joe Ward: ...Wait, what nine o'clock?

He opened his eyes and looked at the footballers' timetable again.

Now Little Flash and Little Spider have been redeemed for 15 hours, and Qiuqiu Super has been redeemed for 5 hours. Everyone is already celebrating Christmas.

Tonini is also 15 hours, but according to him, Christmas for adults starts at night, so his time will start at 8:11 on Christmas Eve and end at [-]:[-] noon tomorrow.

All that's left is the miserable Strange Ball that spends the whole day teleporting around—he keeps saying that he's a loner or something, and just walks through the temple with his little cloak in his arms.

Then there are the two leaders who guard the origin.

Batball and the US team didn't take time, which in a way didn't surprise Joe Ward too much - although it's not known whether they have family members, they seem like people who will do so.

The bat ball works at the origin all day long.

For him, the last Christmas in his life was at the age of 8, and every day after that, there is no holiday anymore.

Captain America is thinking about Christmas.But after he thought about it, almost all his closest people were at the origin and the clinic. Even if the time was counted, there seemed to be nowhere to go.

However, he still wrote a long letter to his former comrade-in-arms and handed it to Batball.He hoped that the bat would instead be handed over to the Winter Soldier who was secretly housed in a safe house somewhere.

While watching the monitor at the console, the US team looked down at the communication tool.

"Oh." He smiled. "Everyone asks if you have time at 9 o'clock tonight, Bat?"

Batball: "No time."

Captain America: "..."

He turned his attention to the plague doctor wearing a Santa hat-Joward bought it for him.The epidemic doctor grabbed it in his hand and studied it, then put it on his hood.

... Chatting with a topic terminator like bats, he might as well discuss the philosophy of survival with the plague doctor.

When Joe Ward came out of the orphanage, it was almost completely dark.

He still smelled of that Christmas turkey dinner.

The orphanage recommended by BAU is indeed full of human touch.He took Jerry back from the playground to try it, just in time for the turkey to be served.

Jerry was so happy all day today that he never closed his mouth.At dinner, he complained to Joward more than once about his apple muscle pain.

But before leaving, the child suddenly buried his face in his clothes and burst into tears.

Joward patted him on the back with his hands free, thinking he was going to pass.

He left the brightly lit orphanage and walked back along the sparsely populated streets of New York.Every house is lit with warm yellow lights, and Christmas songs echo joyfully over the entire New York.

He walked off the main road, then got on a bus and arrived at the New York Cemetery.

The cemetery is probably the only place that doesn't have any Christmas decorations.

The cold wind at night lifted his windbreaker, and his long red scarf fluttered.

The system that had been quiet for a day in his mind suddenly spoke: "Merry Christmas, host."

Joe Ward was a little surprised: "Merry Christmas, 2-3."

The system starts tinkling and playing Christmas carols.

Joward: "...Stop."

He walked through rows of tombstones.The floor tiles of the cemetery are gray and white, and they are laid one by one for him silently, the past and the present are unfolding under his feet at the same time.

Joward stops by his parents' tombstones.

His own Christmas is only now beginning.

He wiped the snow off the tombstone with his gloves.The face of Qiao's father and Qiao's mother appeared in the gradually clear photos, with tenderness and love in his eyes, looking at his son.

as always.

They always told him that adult life was not always easy.There are too many people who are used to hurting each other, and the hurt people turn to the next person to vent.

There is nothing wrong with that.But he can still choose to always be a gentle and kind person.

All damage ends here.

At night, the cold wind whipped up a piece of snow in the cemetery.The wind brought Christmas carols from afar, and a soft, questioning voice.

"I did it, didn't I?"
