My Little Sister Has to Clean Up! Slacking Off Again!

Gwen called softly to Ye Li, "Good morning~"

Hearing the quiet greeting,

Ye Li opened his sleepy eyes.

What had happened?

Oh, right...

He had worked hard all night yesterday. After fighting Super Criminals, he had come home only to fight a superhero...

It really wasn't easy~

Gwen's fragrant tongue brushed over her lips as she smiled slyly. "You're quite energetic this morning~"

Ye Li reached out and rubbed her hair. "Because Gwen is too cute."

"Mm!"

The little Spider-Woman blissfully narrowed her eyes under his touch, her smile turning warm and affectionate. "Li, starting today, I'm completely yours. Are you happy~"

When Ye Li had been "in danger" yesterday, panic had driven her to make a decision and take the initiative.

Well... to be precise, she had taken several steps. There were a few too many new moves unlocked...

Hill, what did you want to ask me?

Barbara sipped her milk tea in her temporary residence while contacting Hill.

Yes, I've already figured it out.

The Ghost-Spider Club isn't merely a fan club. They even have a training ground specifically for superheroes.

It can be confirmed that Ghost-Spider has also joined this club. She always acts alongside Knightress Jessica.

That thing last night... oh... people online are calling it the Night of Heroes. It wasn't just Ghost-Spider and Knightress who took part. Skye also provided information support with her hacking skills.

After thinking for a moment, Barbara added, "And that Ye Li. I think there's something unusual about him too. He may have telepathic abilities."

Hill: We can confirm that this club is a civilian hero organization. I'll have it entered into the files.

Also, regarding that mind-reading Ye Li you mentioned, I suspect it's because of this...

As Hill spoke, she sent Barbara a file.

Barbara opened it and found a record of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s public-facing system being hacked. Her name happened to be included.

Although it was only a name, without even a photograph, it was enough to confirm certain things.

Barbara: Damn it, those guys really are useless.

Hill, I think we need to strengthen our defenses. Otherwise, do you know how many agents that sieve-like firewall will get killed?

She somewhat regretted telling Ye Li her real name on impulse, but he had seemed to know it already...

Barbara: I still think there's something strange about this Ye Li.

Hill: Then continue investigating him. As for your complaint about the network department, I'll report it to Fury.

Rest assured, they aren't as incompetent as you think.

Through counter-intrusion, they've already discovered that Skye joined a hacker organization called Rising Tide.

Her technical skills have improved very quickly. It seems we weren't wrong to judge that she has great potential as an agent.

Additionally,

our director has a special plan and intends to recruit outstanding superheroes.

Knightress and the others performed well last night. They can be listed as potential observation targets.

Continue staying in the Ghost-Spider Club. Perhaps when the time comes, we'll need you to step forward.

Click.

The bathroom door opened, and a wave of hot steam billowed out.

A small, round-toed foot dotted with droplets stepped out, followed by a smooth, fair ankle. Jessica emerged, wrapped in a bath towel.

She had been exhausted yesterday. After returning home, she had fallen asleep without even bathing, then made up for it with a comfortable hot shower after waking.

Morning news: Osborn Tower was attacked by the terrifying Electro, causing massive casualties... The public is asking whether the Osborn Corporation, where terrorist incidents occur so frequently, still has any reason to exist?

Black Spider and a mysterious iron-clad man joined forces to resolve the disaster. We've long heard of Black Spider, but could this man in red and gold armor be a new superhero?... Enthusiastic netizens have named the mysterious armored man Iron Man.

Electro, Lizard Man, black monsters, and the reappearing Green Goblin... Super Criminal incidents have occurred frequently, while the New York police revealed their hard work throughout last night...

Meanwhile, Black Spider, Iron Man, Ghost-Spider, and Knightress also turned the tide yesterday, preventing crises in multiple locations. Fans of the heroes united to call last night the Night of Heroes.

"Honestly, Brother. He didn't even turn off the TV."

Jessica wiped her damp hair with a towel as she walked over and switched off the blaring television.

But the moment the TV was off, she heard a creaking, swaying sound, and... Gwen?

Jessica sneaked toward the sound and felt her way to Ye Li's bedroom door.

Gwen paid no attention at all to Jessica's arrival. She even ignored her Spider-Sense.

She swept aside the golden hair by her forehead, her toes curling.

The movement resembled something from Latin dance...

More than an hour passed.

Jessica couldn't help reminding her softly, "Gwen, your family should be getting up soon. You'd better hurry home..."

"It's fine..."

Gwen hooked a strand of hair behind her ear with her pinky, a smile appearing on her face. "Li's window is right next to my room's window. Just wait a little longer~"

Another ten-odd minutes passed.

Mwah~

Only then did Gwen feel the timing was about right. She bid Ye Li farewell. "Li~ I'm heading back first."

"Mm."

Ye Li answered lazily, "Have your mom make you something tasty to nourish yourself, little spider. Your fighting power is still a little lacking~"

Gwen stuck out her tongue and made a face. "Anyway, I can't beat you. Go find someone else~"

P.S.: This pathetic author is begging all you Yanzus for flowers, rating votes, monthly tickets, and comments!! Thank you on my knees!! Even typing a 1 in the comments would do!

A Little Sister Has to Clean Up! Slacking Off Again!

Ye Li didn't know whether Gwen had meant it seriously or was joking.

But he assumed she was serious.

Because after saying that, Gwen had Jessica support her into the shower...

After washing up,

Gwen even borrowed a set of Jessica's clothes.

There was no helping it. Her spider suit had already become the ultimate battle-damaged version.

Once Gwen went home wearing Jessica's clothes,

Ye Li looked around the room.

What a complete mess... water stains... marks on the desk... a black strip had been casually tossed onto a reclining chair.

On the ceiling, a web hammock woven from Silk held several black-and-white scraps of cloth. Even the Silk seemed damp...

Had they really gone that wild... Ye Li recalled that they had indeed played rather crazily last night.

Buzz~

A faint Spider-Sense.

Ye Li looked toward the doorway. His cheap little sister had come over again, sneakily peeking inside.

"Jessica, come help your brother clean up."

"No!"

Jessica said with disgust, "I'm not cleaning up your mess for you."

"Be good."

Ye Li coaxed her, "It's just tidying up the room. Don't you organize things all the time anyway?"

"Is that so... Then I'll help you this once."

Jessica's eyes flickered. She lifted one calf behind her to hook the door shut, then said coyly, "Just cleaning the room, okay."
