The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics
#10 - Meet the parents
"Of course, I love it, thank you, Happy," Peter said, holding the Switch that Yang Le gave him, unable to put it down. "This is the new game console that came out this year, won't it be too extravagant?"
Not to mention his own game console, Gwen's drumsticks also looked expensive. Although they had known each other for almost a month, they didn't know what Yang Le did for a living, and they didn't know much about Yang Le's financial situation, so they were very afraid of causing a burden on Yang Le.
"It's okay, don't worry, my friend." Yang Le waved his hand dismissively. Yang Le really wasn't short of money. Although he was penniless when he came, those noodle sellers on the street were not short of money.
Moreover, Yang Le himself really didn't have much use for money. Except for the occasional restaurant visit, he usually ate the food grown from the swamp fire.
The furniture was basically made from trash by the goblins. Apart from suddenly catching fire or having some inexplicable functions at the beginning, it was still quite useful.
Damn it, I should just rename the goblins to gnomes in the future.
In summary, Yang Le's life was pretty good, with only one drawback, and that was his identity. Yang Le still didn't have a proper legal identity. Originally, Yang Le wanted to rely on the goblins to solve it, but their profession was not right. Goblins were only interested in inventions and creations (although they were not that reliable), and they were not very good at hacking.
'If only I had the Little Wonders.' Yang Le sighed in his heart more than once in these months.
"Peter, don't neglect your studies just because you have a new game console," Gwen reminded from the side.
"That's right, Peter, if your grades drop, Uncle Ben and Aunt May will definitely hate me," Yang Le chimed in from the side.
"Oh, Gwen, Happy, of course I know the priorities." Facing the two who were pouring cold water on him, Peter put the game console into his backpack and said helplessly.
The three of them joked and laughed all the way, walking towards the apartment where Peter and Gwen lived.
"Hey! Gwen!" Just as they reached the entrance of the apartment, Gwen heard someone call her name. The voice was too familiar, and even without turning her head, Gwen knew who was calling her.
"Dad!" Gwen turned around and looked at George standing in front of the police car with surprise. "Why are you back so early today?"
"Of course, it's because I'm back to hold an entrance party for my little princess." George walked up to Gwen with a carefully wrapped gift in his hand and said with a smile.
"Oh, Dad, don't be like this, it's too cheesy." Gwen hugged her arms and shivered, George's words gave her goosebumps.
George laughed and then noticed Peter and Yang Le standing behind Gwen.
"Aren't you going to introduce them?" George raised his hand to gesture.
After George reminded her, Gwen remembered and hurriedly pulled Yang Le to her side and introduced him: "Dad, this is Yang Le, who Peter and I mentioned to you before. We all call him Happy."
"Hello, Mr. Stacy." Yang Le stretched out his right hand and said seriously. Whether it was the movie universe or the comic universe, George Stacy was a pedantic person, and these people basically didn't like frivolous people.
In order to leave a good impression on George at the first meeting, Yang Le rarely behaved very seriously.
"Oh, hello, Yang Le." George shook hands with Yang Le.
"Just call me Happy." Yang Le saw that George was having trouble pronouncing his name and took the initiative to suggest.
"I'm sorry, I think my pronunciation must be strange." Hearing Yang Le's suggestion, George guessed that he must have mispronounced it.
"It's okay, I also like the nickname Happy very much, after all, Gwen gave me this name." Yang Le's intention was to let George know that he and Gwen had a very good relationship, but George's expression became sharp after hearing this sentence.
"You said Gwen gave you this name?" George frowned slightly. A father's intuition told him that there must be something fishy.
"How is it? It sounds good, right? Because the name Happy means happiness, so I gave him the name Happy." Gwen interjected from the side, and her smiling appearance clearly showed that she really thought so.
'I hope I'm overthinking it.' George looked at Gwen's carefree appearance and felt that he might be overthinking it.
"By the way, Gwen, this is for you, and this is for you, Peter, happy school entrance." George handed the pink gift box in his hand to Gwen, and then handed another black gift box to Peter.
"Love you, Dad!" "Thank you, Uncle George."
Looking at the two who happily accepted the gifts, George smiled and then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, kids, Ben and May are still preparing a hearty dinner. Let's go up and help May before Ben ruins everything."
Under George's organization, everyone moved to the door of Peter's house while talking and laughing.
"We're back!" As Peter took out the key to open the door, everyone filed in. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Ben standing in front of the dining table setting the plates.
"Welcome back!" Ben looked at everyone with a smile. "Gwen, go help May. If I go into the kitchen again and make trouble, May will definitely kill me."
Gwen made an OK gesture, put her backpack and coat on the sofa, rolled up her sleeves, and walked into the kitchen.
"Ben! I told you not to come in again... Oh, it's Gwen. You came just in time. You don't know, Ben almost ruined my soup!"

Hearing May's reprimand in the kitchen, Ben just curled his lips, shrugged his shoulders, and pretended not to care.
"Uncle Ben, this is Happy, who I told you about before." Peter introduced him, trying to suppress his laughter in the face of the funny Ben.
"Hello, Uncle Ben." Yang Le stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ben.
"Oh, hello, Happy. Peter has been telling me about you. He likes you very much." Ben looked at Yang Le kindly.
"Of course, because we are good brothers." Peter put his arm around Yang Le's shoulder, but because of the height difference, Peter looked like he was hanging on Yang Le.
Looking at the two who were like good brothers, Ben smiled with relief. Peter was an introverted child. If they weren't really close, Peter wouldn't have had so much physical contact.
"Okay, boys, dinner is almost ready. Go wash your hands. Kids who don't wash their hands don't get pie to eat."
"Okay, I'll help serve the dishes. Peter, take Happy to wash his hands."
Peter took Yang Le and George to the bathroom to wash their hands. When they returned to the dining room, a hearty dinner was already set on the table.
"You must be Happy, right? I'm very glad you could come. I hope the food is to your liking." May said to Yang Le kindly with a smile.
"To be honest, just smelling the aroma has already made my appetite." Yang Le was telling the truth. Whether it was his own cooking or the fast food in the restaurant, none of them looked as delicious as Aunt May's cooking.
"Okay, sit down quickly, I can't wait." Gwen waved to Yang Le and the others.
