Gwen was deeply embarrassed. The situation was—
Ye Li sat at the edge of the bed, with the two girls sitting in his lap.
Gwen faced him, pressed tightly against him by Jessica.
Meanwhile, Jessica was pressed against Gwen's back...
...It was quite an interesting position.
"Double the fun, right, Jessica?"
Ye Li wrapped an arm around Jessica along with Gwen and grinned wickedly. "I think it only becomes double the fun with you included."
Even the two girls' slender waists together were not very wide, and he could encircle them with one arm.
"Li, you can't! I'm your..."
"Hm? I'm just spanking you. Isn't it only natural for me to discipline you?"
"Huh?" Jessica froze for a moment. So it was just spanking... She had thought...
Hey! Wait, didn't that mean she was about to get hit!?
Smack!
"Ah—!"
"Nice one, Li~" Gwen clapped her little hands in delight. The boat of friendship had capsized in an instant.
Smack!
"Ah~ Ooh, Li, why did you hit me..."
"Sorry... Gwen, I missed."
A little while later~
Jessica covered her butt, her gaze full of resentment... She had still gotten spanked.
"Hmph!"
She glanced at the scroll Ye Li had placed on the table and reached over to take it.
"Let me see how the poster looks. I got spanked because of this!"
The large poster was very long once unfolded.
Jessica was already quite tall, but she still had to raise her hands to spread it out completely.
"Oh, it's really good! Looks like I didn't get hit for nothing."
The poster depicted New York at night beneath neon lights. A nimble silhouette swung between skyscrapers on spider silk. With Ye Li's editing, the black, white, and purple suit looked especially vibrant, and paired with the cool pose, it was impossible to look away.
At the bottom, the words "GHOST-SPIDER" were written in a flashy font.
It could not be called particularly artistic, but it perfectly suited young people's tastes. It was more than fitting for rallying people to join a fan club.
"A Ghost-Spider poster? What are you planning to do?"
Gwen sensed that something was wrong.
They had made her cosplay and prepared such an eye-catching poster. Was tonight's party superhero-themed?
Jessica gave her a thumbs-up and said excitedly, "Gwen, I'm starting a Ghost-Spider Fan Club! I'm announcing it tonight!"
Gwen: "Huh?"
The party downstairs had already reached its most heated stage.
Someone noticed a temporary stage that had been set up in the innermost part of the room.
Quite a few socially fearless people took the initiative to go onstage and show off their talents, mostly to attract boys or girls they admired.
Robot dancing, street dancing, goofy acts, BeatBox rap—the party atmosphere was pushed to a fever pitch.
There were even hot girls who wanted to perform a striptease.
But Harry stopped them, saying that it was not appropriate for people their age.
The boys below the stage felt greatly disappointed and silently complained that Harry was no fun.
Harry was thinking of Peter, too.
Peter was chatting on and off with Mary Jane Watson from Jessica's band. If something provocative suddenly happened onstage, he would definitely be terribly embarrassed.
Jessica: Jane, stop wandering around outside. Get backstage, our performance is about to begin!
Mary Jane saw the message on her phone, smiled at Peter, and stood up. "Peter, excuse me."
"Jane..." Peter watched Mary Jane walk away with reluctance.
A chubby boy took Mary Jane's seat. "Peter, looks like you're not doing too well? Cheer up. Flash got taught a lesson today, wasn't that a good thing too?"
Until the Very End! Gwen Was Filled Up!
"That was Li's doing, not mine."
Peter was much more cheerful around his best friend. "Ned, where did you run off to just now?"
"There was a girl named Cindy Moon. She was really pretty, and her skin tone matched mine really well."
Ned spread his hands. "But she seemed to be in a bad mood and ignored me."
Peter fiddled with his camera. "Li taught me a Chinese saying. How did it go... We're birds of a feather."
"Oh, Peter, she really is an angel!"
Ned wore a lovestruck expression. "In my heart, she already ranks alongside Spider-Woman!"
"Come on, Ned. You said the same thing last time you saw Betty."
As the two talked.
The stage curtains suddenly closed.
The lively noise below the stage fell silent, followed by confused murmurs.
"What's going on?"
"Why close it? We can party all day!"
"Is there going to be a grand finale?"
"Quiet, quiet."
Harry stepped onto the stage to host, announcing that the Mary Janes Band would be performing next.
"Betty and the others are performing too? That's awesome!!"
"Woohoo! Go, Mary Jane!!"
"Will Stacy be appearing? We haven't seen her at all. Don't tell me she didn't come?"
"Jessica!!"
"Jessica!"
The crowd below erupted again, shouting out the names they loved!!
The members of the Mary Janes Band were all quite popular at school.
Jessica in particular had a cool, handsome image at school. Not only did she have many male fans, quite a few girls were calling out for her too.
But when the curtains opened again, the person onstage was not one of the girls from the band, but an extremely handsome man.
He held an electric guitar in his hands, and his gentle smile made teenage girls unable to take their eyes off him.
A girl with short black hair below the stage asked strangely, "Who is he? Where's my Jessica?"
"He's really handsome!"
Another mixed-race girl beside her smiled and called out to the stage, "Go, handsome guy!!"
The short-haired girl declared firmly, "Skye, I admit he's handsome, but I still want Jessica. I won't be turned straight!"
The people around them began discussing it too.
"I think I saw him earlier. He was carrying a big stick upstairs."
"I remember now. Isn't that Professor Ye Li?"
"He's taught a few classes at school. He got a doctorate in art at such a young age!"
"Oh my god, it's one thing for freshmen not to know, but what's wrong with you upperclassmen?"
"Hey! He probably hasn't even shown up that many times. How was I supposed to remember!"
Backstage.
Gwen, dressed in her cosplay outfit, had a complicated expression. How had things turned out like this...
Her feelings now were like a spiderweb—nervousness, happiness, awkwardness, bliss, all kinds of emotions tangled together.
So her friends, classmates, and Li had all been supporting her this much.
"Gwen, stop hesitating and get ready!"
