Chapter 249: The Love That Started That Day

The shape of the Iron Man's head looks like the smooth head of an alien.

In addition to the red color, the legs are also gray and light brown, making them look like cold alien skin.

Is this a bad taste of this guy?

Peter stared at the painting on the big screen and couldn't help but complain.

Gwen was stunned when she saw the appearance of Iron Man.

Was this kind of suit really created?

"Squeak!"

The door opened and Peter and Gwen entered the room.

Kahn has been assigned to Helen's side.

Phantom Cat was taken back to his home by Little Naughty.

Peter was stunned as soon as he entered the door.

Aunt May was sitting on the sofa watching him.

Although the room was dark and without lights on, the two men's super eyesight allowed them to see Aunt May at a glance.

"Aunt May?"

"Do you know what time it is?"

Aunt May asked Peter and Gwen in dissatisfaction.

Gwen glanced at Peter nervously, not sure how to respond.

After all, the two of them had skipped classes for several days and stayed out all night.

Father knows that he is Spider-Woman, but Aunt May and Uncle Ben don't know that Peter is Spider-Man.

She was a little worried that Peter's identity would be exposed.

"It's three o'clock in the morning."

Aunt May stood up from the couch, "This isn't the first time you two have done this. Ben covered for you, saying you were on a study tour to Boston organized by your school, but I asked your teacher and you weren't in Boston."

"Peter, and Gwennie, what are you guys up to lately?"

Aunt May looked at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Gwen, go upstairs first."

Peter asked Gwen to go upstairs first.

"Ok."

Gwen glanced at Peter anxiously and gave him an encouraging look in return.

After Gwen went upstairs, Peter explained to Aunt May, "Gwen and I have been working for the Daily Bugle recently. You know, Aunt May, this requires us to shoot some important things frequently, so we will run around."

"really?"

Aunt May looked at Peter suspiciously, "But I've never heard you and Ben talk about it."

"Uncle Ben may think that this is not a very important matter."

Peter made up a lie to explain to Aunt May.

"is it?"

Aunt May walked over quickly, grabbed Peter's arm and ripped the clothes off his arm.

The result was some purple scars.

"You have to tell me, Peter, where have you been? Your uncle Ben is hiding it for you, and I want to hear it from your own mouth. My nephew is not the kind of child who tells lies all the time."

Peter was speechless as he looked at Aunt May's determined eyes.

He didn't quite know how to tell Aunt May.

Aunt May saw that Peter didn't say anything, so she sat back in her chair and covered her forehead, "You weren't like this before, Peter."

Peter walked up to Aunt May, squatted down gently, and held her somewhat cold hands. "I just don't want to make you angry, Aunt May, and I don't want you and Uncle Ben to worry about me."

Aunt May looked up and looked Peter in the eyes.

"We don't need lies between us, Peter, what secret are you keeping?"

Aunt Mei said with determination, "I swear to God, if you mess around with your bad friends in school or those gangsters in society, I will make you pay."

Aunt May began to wonder if her nephew had turned bad.

"No, of course not, Aunt May, you know I don't have many friends besides Gwen and Harry."

Peter said that he didn't have as many friends as he thought.

Aunt May sighed deeply, "I've had a lot of sad things in my life, and now, I have to sit at home and have no idea what's going on outside."

"It's funny, I'm just sitting here like an idiot, Peter, not even knowing where you're dead in a gutter outside. It's like a nightmare to me."

Peter squeezed Aunt May's hand, "No, Aunt May, I won't."

"Do you love me, Peter?"

Aunt May suddenly asked Peter.

"I don't mean because you are my nephew or because you are grateful to me for living here, but simply because of who I am. Do you think I am a good person?"

After a moment's pause, Peter replied: "Of course."

Peter moved closer to Aunt May. "Of course you are a good person. I love you, Aunt May, not because you are my aunt, not because of anything else, but just because of who you are."

Aunt May choked up and said, "I often worry that I haven't done well enough, and I'm afraid that I'll bore you and make you feel uncomfortable. Peter, although you are not Parker's and mine, we have always treated you as our own child."

"I know I know"

Peter hugged Aunt May and comforted her softly.

He was not a heartless man, and he could feel the love that Aunt May and Uncle Ben had for him.

"only."

Peter said to Aunt May: "There are some things I have to deal with. Aunt May, I am destined not to be an ordinary person."

He was just one step away from telling Aunt May that he was Spider-Man.

But this kind of thing needs to be done slowly so that Aunt Mei can accept it.

"You're just like your father, Peter."

Aunt May held Peter's hands, "But being a hero is exhausting. The price is always too much to bear."

She had guessed what Peter meant.

She had always suspected that Peter was a superhero wandering the streets, but now that Peter had taken the initiative to say that he could not be an ordinary person, she was even more certain of her guess.

"I'm not trying to be a hero. I just want to protect you and Uncle Ben, and Gwen."

He had previously asked Helen to protect Aunt May and Uncle Ben.

During the time when he was away, he also ensured the safety of both of them.

"You've grown up."

Aunt May reached out and stroked Peter's face, "No matter what, I'll be proud of you."

She stood up and said, "I have something to give you."

Aunt May pulled out a small storage box and handed it to Peter.

There were some miscellaneous items and videotapes in the storage box, which looked to be quite old.

"This is.?"

"I found this in a box in the basement, along with some other stuff. These things, all of them belong to you."

Aunt Mei looked at the things in the box and said with emotion: "These things belong to your father and my good sister."

Aunt May said as she placed her hand on Peter's shoulder and the other on her chest.

"I was planning to give these things to you when you grow up, but I think you are already grown up now."

Aunt May had tears in her eyes, "Peter, you will eventually become a man like your father."

In the room, Peter turned on the videotape.

Laughter and joy immediately rang out in the dim room.

After glancing at the TV screen, Peter stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

Sure enough—Gwen was standing outside, looking at him awkwardly.

"Sorry, Peter, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I-I just wanted to see if you were okay."

Gwen had just overheard a conversation between Peter and Aunt May.

Her nose felt a little sour.

"Of course I know you didn't mean it."

Peter opened the door and motioned for Gwen to come in.

"Otherwise I wouldn't have opened the door."

He said to Gwen, "Want to see a video of me as a kid?"

Although these were his childhood memories, after his soul was reborn as Peter Parker, he had no recollection of these memories of his previous incarnation.

So he dragged Gwen to watch it with him. "Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."

Gwen expressed great interest in Peter's childhood.

The two sat on the carpet and watched the videotape.

All the lights in the room were turned off, and the only sound was the rustling sound of the videotape turning in the machine.

This old VCR has been put away for many years, and Peter never thought it could still be used.

"Hey, Peter, look over here!"

"I wrote a presentation about emperor penguins for school, Dad."

There was a camping scene on the TV screen.

In the bright spring sunshine, the family played happily on the grass.

Little Peter Parker happily showed off his achievements to his father.

"Great! But did you know, Peter, there are 18 types of penguins in total?"

Richard Parker gives a science lesson to little Peter.

"I know. There are emperor penguins, bonnet penguins, and gentoo penguins. Um. And the ones behind that, there are..."

Little Peter stood up and anxiously wanted to point out the penguin behind him, but he accidentally fell to the ground.

The distressed mother rushed over and hugged him, "Oh, Peter! Are you okay?"

Gwen looked at Richard Parker and his wife on the TV screen with a surprised expression on her face.

Are these Parker's parents?

Peter has the same brown eyes as his mother.

"Peter, Peter!"

Seeing little Peter fall, a freckled boy who was in charge of taking care of him ran over to apologize to Mrs. Parker.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Parker, I didn't keep an eye on Peter."

"It's okay, it's none of your business, Eddie."

Mrs. Parker ruffled Addy's hair.

"Eddie?"

Gwen asked Peter curiously, "Who is he? Is he your childhood friend?"

Peter stared at the boy on TV, equally confused.

He has no memory of this period of his original life at all.

So I have no idea who this guy is.

Eddie walked up to little Peter and said to him, "Hey, Peter, let's go play cards together."

"I have no impression."

Peter shook his head, indicating that he had forgotten it long ago.

In this scene, in addition to Peter's family, Uncle Ben and Aunt May also appeared.

Gwen looked at her young Uncle Ben and Aunt May and was a little surprised.

"Uncle Ben and Aunt May are so young!"

"Ah."

Peter replied to Gwen, "They were quite young when they were young."

Gwen didn't notice Peter's nonsense, her attention was focused on the screen.

In addition to Peter's family, Uncle Ben and Aunt May, there is also Eddie's family on the screen.

Eddie's father is discussing science with Richard.

"Did you read that article in Time magazine about nanoenergy, Richard?"

"Yes, I did."

Eddie's father continued, "Maybe we can find a public relations person. The team that invented nano energy has been featured in Time magazine, and we are still unknown. What I mean is, let the media promote us."

"After all, I originally did genetic engineering research because of fame and fortune."

Richard Parker shook his head. "I think it's ridiculous that you mentioned hiring a PR trainee. Even if we are 100% sure about the project, what can we do? Besides, we are not sure yet. Apart from letting our competitors know, what can we do?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little unpleasant, Mrs. Parker took the initiative to hug little Peter.

"Hey, sweetheart, you were talking about penguins, right?"

"Yes, Mom, there are eighteen species of penguins."

Gwen watched the happy scene on the video and felt sorry for Peter.

She sat next to Peter and moved closer to him, "Peter, are these your memories from childhood?"

"Yes."

"if."

Gwen rested her head on Peter's shoulder, "If all these tragedies hadn't happened, maybe we would have had a happy childhood."

After experiencing the Green Goblin Gwen incident, Gwen felt a little uncomfortable.

"I don't have any memories of my mother. I just know her name is Helen, my father loved her very much, and then she died. Some children grow up thinking that death only comes to other people, but it seems to favor Gwen Stacy, and it has also spread to those around me."

"With you guys around, Gwen"

Peter turned to Gwen and said, "Death is not lonely."

Gwen said nothing, but just squeezed Peter's hand tighter.

The people in the video are still having their camping lunch.

"You really have no impression of Eddy's family?"

After the tape finished playing, Gwen asked Peter curiously.

"I don't remember, I just remember that I often played alone."

Peter lied with ease.

"Well, our childhood memories are always easy to lose."

Gwen thought this was normal.

She took out her cell phone and said, "I can help you search it."

Gwen typed the name "Eddie Brooke" into the search engine and started searching immediately.

"etc."

When Peter heard the name, he suddenly felt familiar.

This guy's name is Eddie Brooke?
This seems to be the name of the venom host?
In his previous life, he had watched the Venom movie series.

At that time, the main attention was on Venom, so Eddie's name was not noticed.

Only now did he remember that the host of the Deadly Guardian was Eddie Brooke.

My childhood playmate was Venom?!

Peter was a little shocked when he thought of this.

It turns out that this guy and Spider-Man have a "deep connection that started that day"? !

"What's wrong, Peter?"

Gwen didn't know the shock in Peter's heart, she came closer curiously.

"nothing."

Peter coughed and asked Gwen, "Did you find out?"

"I found it. Look."

Gwen put the phone down in front of Peter.

"A related entry was found."

"Eddie Brooke"

"44 Tony Stark Building"

Empire State University

"New York City 97214"

Gwen looked at the other party's message and said in surprise: "He is still a student at Empire State University now, and he is still a top student?"

Then she asked Peter curiously: "Which university are you going to in the future, Peter?"

"I?"

Peter thought for a moment, "I'm not picky."

"Me too. It would be great if we were both in the same school. But - I don't know if my life will still be related to college."

Gwen sighed.

Too many things have happened recently, including the matter of Cindy Moon and the heir family, which made her wonder whether she could return to normal life.
