Su Yi reclined comfortably in his lounge chair.
He had watched all the news these past few days.
Just like in the plot, the Avengers were being opposed by the public.
Though not completely opposed.
People were condemning the fact that superheroes had far too much freedom!
If superheroes had that much freedom,
wouldn't they just be mobile demolition crews?
So society and the higher-ups in government were preparing to propose
that every action taken by superheroes had to be reported and approved in advance!
Of course.
For now, it was only a proposal.
It was still hard to say when it would actually be put on the table.
And Su Yi remembered that this was a plot point from Captain America 3: Civil War.
There was still some time before that happened.
Afternoon arrived.
Su Yi finally welcomed a client he was very satisfied with.
Gwen.
Oh, no—perhaps she was about to become Spider-Gwen.
"Ding~"
As the elevator doors closed,
Gwen, wearing a jacket with her hood up, arrived at Su Yi's office door.
She looked at Su Yi's door, still hesitating over whether to go in.
Her father was the commissioner of the New York Police Department.
Su Yi's counseling was expensive. Gwen could afford it, but it still hurt to spend that much.
But now that she had run into a problem, was it really okay not to go to her father and come to Su Yi instead?
Or could Su Yi really help her?
Honestly.
Gwen did not know why she had come here.
She touched the wound where she had been bitten by a radioactive spider.
Logically.
She should have gone to the hospital.
Then gotten her genes and body checked to see whether something was wrong.
But she just felt that she should come here first.
How should she put it?
A feeling? A sixth sense? A woman's intuition?
So, should she go in or leave?
Gwen hesitated.
"Come in, Gwen."
But while Gwen was hesitating, Su Yi's voice came from inside the room.
The deep-in-thought Gwen jumped in fright.
Still, she could only push open the door and ask awkwardly,
"Su, how did you know I was here?"
Su Yi said nothing and glanced at the camera by the door.
Gwen immediately covered her face in embarrassment.
"Have a seat."
Su Yi had Gwen sit down.
Then he handed her a bottle of milk tea.
He could never run out of the stuff in his space, so he might as well use it to entertain a high school girl.
"What is this?"
Gwen looked at the milk tea curiously.
"Milk tea. It's sweet." Su Yi gestured for her to drink it. "You should like it."
Gwen accepted the milk tea.
Then she opened it and took a small sip first.
"Mmm~~~"
The instant the milk tea entered her mouth,
her beautiful eyes lit up as though stars had appeared in them!
Then she took a big gulp.
Seeing that, Su Yi nodded with certainty.
He had just observed her personality, habits, manner of speaking, and so on.
This characterization was definitely Spider-Gwen.
Otherwise, ordinary Gwen would not have had this kind of personality. She should have been a little calmer.
But she definitely would not have been as lively as this Gwen.
Only Spider-Gwen had become so lively, clever, and homebody-ish.
Just like a female version of Peter Parker.
"Delicious!"
After taking a few sips of milk tea,
Gwen gave it the highest praise, and her mood improved as well.
In fact, there was physiology behind that too.
Sweet foods made the body release dopamine, making people happier.
That would make Su Yi's counseling more effective.
Efficiency and tools, you know?
After Gwen had drunk some milk tea,
Su Yi finally interlaced his fingers, pressed his thumbs together, and asked Gwen,
"I can sense your anxiety and unease from your eyes and expression."
"It seems something is troubling you, and it happened to you personally."
"You're distressed over it and seeking a solution... no, you're seeking a way to keep living normally, aren't you?"
The moment Su Yi finished speaking,
Gwen froze.
Her eyes held both surprise and a little panic.
At her age, how could she possibly have much of a poker face? Unless some pretty boy was playing an expressionless role, every emotion would show on his face.

Faced with Su Yi's words that struck right at the heart of the matter,
Gwen seemed to have suffered actual damage and was a little at a loss.
She twisted her fingers, looked away with her beautiful eyes, pursed her pink lips, and did not know how to answer.
Su Yi could tell from her expression that she had concerns.
So he leaned back in his chair.
