Ye Li had noticed this girl in class before, not just because of her pretty Asian features, but also because her paintings were very unusual.
Her paintings contained...
Spiderwebs. Nothing but spiderwebs.
Layers upon layers of tangled webs gave off a suffocating, frightening feeling. Who knew what she had been thinking when she painted it? Compared with Felicia's dazzling crown, it was certainly far more memorable.
Looking at the two beautiful women with completely opposite styles, Ye Li became... interested. He shook hands with them both and said, "If it's two beautiful girls, I'd be honored to guide you. We can arrange a time. Fifth Street Gallery is another one of my workplaces, or you can come to Sunnyville Manor."
Well... in any case, he absolutely couldn't bring them back to his home in the Lower East Side, or Jessica Jones would definitely bring Gwen Stacy over to watch.
"Here you go again. Be careful Gwen and the others find out." Skye curled her lips from the side, but her own status wasn't exactly proper either, so she couldn't say much.
Felicia smiled as she exchanged contact information with Ye Li, happily shaking his hand.
But when it was Cindy's turn, something unexpected happened.
The moment her little hand politely clasped Ye Li's, a peculiar sensation instantly spread through both of them.
It was Spider-Sense!
Cindy's Spider-Sense seemed far stronger than Gwen Stacy's. Her entire body shuddered with a jolt.
"You..."
Ye Li was about to say something.
Cindy looked up, faint strands seeming to flicker in her eyes. As though something were tugging and drawing her in, she stared fixedly at Ye Li's lips, overcome by an urge to taste them.
Felicia asked with concern, "Cindy, what's wrong?"
She found it strange. Had her good friend become unable to move at the sight of a handsome guy?
But surely she wouldn't get like this from just shaking hands.
Then, the next second.
Cindy wrapped her arms around him and rose onto her tiptoes.
Then.
They kissed.
Skye and Felicia, standing nearby, both froze.
Ye Li was stunned too... The awkward yet aggressive attack, and the unfamiliar soft body pressed against him.
Had I underestimated the enthusiasm of American girls?
She clearly looked like a rather quiet girl, yet she was so fiery the first time they met...
If the girl in front of him had been Skye or Gwen Stacy, Ye Li wouldn't have been surprised at all. But Cindy, whom he had just met... this was far too abnormal.
They hadn't even exchanged a single word yet.
The warm breath from Cindy's nose brushed against him from time to time. Only after several minutes did the longing in her eyes slowly fade.
She was temporarily satisfied.
But the others were completely dumbfounded.
So this was how proactive you had to be when chasing a man?
Felicia wondered if she had been too aloof. Her usually quiet friend had overtaken her right from the start.
"Cindy, I really misjudged you before."
Felicia narrowed her eyes. "You're the real expert. You're practically glued together. Is it that comfortable?"
Ye Li smacked his lips, savoring the taste. She should have been a novice, but her aggressiveness made up for her lack of technique.
"Ah..."
Cindy came back to her senses. Her little hand touched her lips in disbelief. What had that just been...?
Her cheeks flushed red, and she turned to leave.
But after taking only a few steps, she suddenly turned back, grabbed Ye Li's wrist, and said, "Come with me!"
Ye Li felt considerable strength in her grip, so he obediently allowed Cindy to pull him away.
At the same time, he was a little expectant. Where was she taking him? It was his first time experiencing America's culture of falling in love at first sight.
Cindy dragged Ye Li away just like that, sprinting out of the classroom.
Only then did Skye and Felicia realize something was wrong. This was far too uninhibited.
"Li!"
"Cindy!"
The two hurried after them.
Skye even shouted anxiously.
"She's stealing my man! (≧Д≦)ノ"
In her eyes, Ye Li was a frail artist. What if he got taken advantage of...?
American law considered it illegal even when a woman did it to a man!
Even if she was beautiful!
Peter: Dr. Connors, how are you doing? Are you feeling better?
Connors: Peter, I feel better than ever! Powerful strength, extraordinary physical regeneration! Even the arm I lost has grown back! This is the glorious evolution humanity should possess!
There were many grammatical mistakes in Connors's message. If one thought carefully about it, it was clear that his mental state was unstable.
But Peter was too obsessed to think that much. Excitedly, he sent back: Dr. Connors, can you let me try it too? I want to gain that kind of strength!
Connors: Of course... Peter, you helped me, and I will share it with you. And not just you—I want every human to experience the glory of evolution! I have a plan...
Peter barely looked at the rest of the message.
All he cared about was that Dr. Connors had agreed to his request. That was enough.
Just wait, Flash Thompson. Your good days were about to end!
Just as Peter fantasized about gaining wonderful abilities, he saw two people dart past him.
It seemed like a girl was dragging a boy along as they ran.
Then.
Two more girls came running after them, chasing desperately.
"Stop! Let him go!"
"Cindy, this is school! Don't do this! Kidnapping a teacher will get you punished!"
Peter's reaction was slow, and his mind was full of chaotic thoughts, so he didn't see clearly who the four people running past were.
He only felt that the boy being pursued by three girls had to be very popular.
He then thought of Flash Thompson, the star of the school football team, who was also surrounded by plenty of girls.
Peter swore that he would make Flash fall from his pedestal and humiliate himself in front of every teacher and student!
Dr. Connors, where are you? I can't wait any longer...
"Miss, miss, you're in too much of a hurry!"
Cindy dragged Ye Li through twists and turns, running everywhere. He couldn't help saying, "I think we should sit down and have a cup of coffee first. Milk tea is fine too if you like it. Gwen Stacy likes milk tea quite a bit."
Cindy blushed. Without slowing down, she said, "Stop pretending. I felt it very clearly!"
"Felt what?"
Although Ye Li had some guesses, he still teased, "Cupid's arrow hit you? I know I'm attractive to girls, but there's no need to rush. We can take things slowly~"
"No! No!"
Cindy shook her head desperately.
Although she admitted that Ye Li's charm had attracted her, there had definitely been an uncontrollable factor behind her going that far!
"It's the spider!"
Cindy finally led Ye Li somewhere deserted. Gesturing animatedly, she said, "Were you bitten by some strange spider too? Did your hands become sticky, and did you become incredibly strong, just like Ghost-Spider in the news?"
Unlike Gwen Stacy, her abnormally powerful Spider-Sense had allowed her to instantly determine that the source was this man who had made her lose control.
"I think... the reason I, the reason I offended you, teacher..."
Cindy explained, "It was because of this!"
Ye Li scratched his head. "Why didn't I feel anything like that?"
Although he had enjoyed the intimate contact with Cindy, he hadn't felt an impulsive urge to act like a hooligan.
