Enviable Feelings

Chen Changsheng sat alone for a while longer before getting up and leaving the company. He planned to visit his school. After all, the main task at his age was still studying. If he didn't think about school often, Chen Changsheng felt he would almost forget he was still a student.

The university campus was as vibrant and energetic as ever. The students' boundless energy had nowhere else to go but to manifest more vibrantly around campus.

As Chen Changsheng walked onto campus, the first person he recognized was Peter, again. Chen Changsheng felt like he hadn't seen Peter in a long time. Wasn't Spider-Man completely engrossed in helping others? Why did he still have the energy to wander around campus?

However, meeting was fate. He called out to Peter from afar, "Hey, Peter, where are you headed?"

Peter, in a hurry, looked towards the sound and saw it was his classmate, whom he also hadn't seen in a long time. Peter said happily, "Hey, Jack, long time no see! I'm going to attend Dr. Otto's lecture. What are you up to?"

"Dr. Otto?" Chen Changsheng thought of the gentle, knowledge-seeking, slightly plump middle-aged scientist. He then said, "I don't have anything planned either. I don't need to worry about credits, so I'll go watch the lecture with you."

"I'm so envious of you. You've already figured out how to get enough credits right at the start of the semester, while I have to accumulate them bit by bit," Peter said with a hint of envy.

In reality, Peter was already accumulating credits at a rather fast pace. However, as Spider-Man, Peter had to spend most of his time helping those in need, which was why he envied Chen Changsheng's ease and freedom.

As the two chatted, they arrived at Dr. Otto's classroom. Dr. Otto was already there. There were many people in the classroom, both old and young, and quite a few doctors. It wasn't surprising, given that Dr. Otto was a top figure in the industry.

Young people like Chen Changsheng and Peter were rare. Peter was interested in this field, which was why he came to listen to the lecture.

Chen Changsheng, on the other hand, was purely concerned about the experimental progress. He also intended to mooch a meal at Dr. Otto's place, as Chen Changsheng always felt that chatting with Otto was very interesting and could elevate his mental state.

Compared to Otto, Chen Changsheng felt he was too vulgar and had too much room for improvement.

Dr. Otto's lecture was quite profound. Apart from those who were professionally researching these topics, everyone else was dozing off. Besides Chen Changsheng and Peter, almost all the other young people present had succumbed. It was no wonder, as such advanced knowledge consumed a lot of talent and accumulated knowledge.

Chen Changsheng was also able to benefit from the memories of so many scientists he had absorbed before; otherwise, he would probably be in a state of utter confusion, as if listening to heavenly scriptures.

After Dr. Otto finished his lecture, he stood on the podium and asked the students below, "Does anyone have any questions? We can discuss them together."

As soon as he said this, the room below became lively, with everyone eagerly asking various questions.

"Dr. Otto, how do you plan to design the nuclear fusion reactor?"

"Dr. Otto, how do you ensure the temperature control?"

"Dr. Otto, how do you think nuclear fusion can be better converted into energy and reduce waste?"

Amidst the professional questions, one person loudly asked, "Dr. Otto, when do you think your nuclear fusion project will be realized?"

Chen Changsheng looked at the person asking the question and saw it was an acquaintance, Eddie. This guy was also a student at this school and, like Peter, was currently working part-time at the Daily Bugle.

Eddie had been sleeping throughout Dr. Otto's lecture just now.

The question he asked was truly idiotic. Humanity had been researching nuclear fusion for decades, and every year there were reports saying that nuclear fusion would be achieved in fifty years. The key point was that every year they said it would be achieved in fifty years...

Seeing Eddie's malicious expression, Chen Changsheng felt that this guy was up to something big. Beside him, Peter had also produced a camera from somewhere and was eager to take pictures. His recent part-time work hadn't been in vain; Peter's sensitivity to news had increased significantly.

Dr. Otto hadn't expected such a question amidst all the professional inquiries, but he patiently replied, "Based on my current experimental progress, the realization of nuclear fusion is not far off. The only thing missing now is one final experiment."

Dr. Otto's words immediately caused a stir. Eddie, selectively processing the information, asked, "Have you already achieved it?"

"..." Dr. Otto was somewhat confused. Did you not understand human language? Is that what I meant? You're still asking.

"I will be conducting the experiment soon, and I believe it will definitely succeed!" Although Dr. Otto felt a bit speechless about Eddie's questioning, he still announced his plan.

This caused the entire venue to erupt. However, Dr. Otto stopped speaking and squeezed out of the crowd amidst the chaos. All that was left were a group of onlookers shouting and making a fuss.

Chen Changsheng also pulled Peter away from the classroom and chased after Dr. Otto. Chen Changsheng's purpose this time was to find Dr. Otto; he couldn't let him leave so easily.

Given Chen Changsheng and Peter's stamina and explosive power, there was no need to elaborate. Even though Dr. Otto had a head start, Chen Changsheng and Peter caught up to him in just a few steps.

"Dr. Otto, I have another question. Please enlighten me!" Chen Changsheng called out when he was still some distance away from Dr. Otto.

Hearing the familiar voice, Dr. Otto turned around and saw it was Chen Changsheng. Dr. Otto had a deep impression of Chen Changsheng. After all, not many people could be considered confidants upon their first meeting. The last time he had chatted so happily with a stranger was when Otto first met his wife. Moreover, Chen Changsheng was now his boss.

"Hello, Jack. What brings you to school? I heard from the principal that you never come to school." Dr. Otto said with a playful tone. Seeing Peter beside Chen Changsheng, he asked, "And who is this?"

"Dr. Otto, I'm still a student. It's normal for me to come to school to study. This is Peter Parker, my classmate, and also an intern reporter. I'm sure he'd be happy to interview you." While speaking, Chen Changsheng patted Peter's shoulder, signaling him to greet Dr. Otto.

Peter hadn't expected Chen Changsheng to know such a prominent figure. He immediately stammered his introduction, "Hello, Dr. Otto. I'm Peter Parker. I deeply admire your knowledge and hope to conduct a feature interview with you."

Although Peter was a bit shy, he seized the opportunity, preparing to conduct an exclusive interview with Dr. Otto to earn more money.

Hearing the name Peter Parker, Otto seemed to recall something. He looked at Peter sternly and said, "Peter, I know you. You were Curt Connors' student. He said you are a genius, but you just can't focus on one thing. Genius is your greatest asset, but you still need to work twice as hard, otherwise, you will be letting your talent go to waste."

Dr. Otto's tone was quite strict, giving off the aura of a stern teacher. Peter also felt that he had indeed wasted too much time and let his talent go to waste. But helping others wasn't a waste of time!

Peter felt that Dr. Otto had rejected his interview request, so he was quite disheartened. Just as Peter was feeling down, he heard Dr. Otto say again.

"Everyone has their own path to follow. I'm just giving you some advice. By the way, where do you plan to conduct the interview? You can't do it right here, can you?" Dr. Otto didn't want to push Peter too hard, as he knew this young genius had just left Curt Connors' research group and might need comfort the most at this time.

Dr. Otto's words brought a smile back to Peter's face, but at the same time, Peter couldn't think of a good place to conduct the interview.

As if seeing Peter's predicament, Dr. Otto said, "My class is over for today. Why don't you come to my house for afternoon tea?"

"Sure, I'd be honored to visit you, Dr. Otto," Peter immediately agreed. Chen Changsheng exchanged a look with Otto, a silent smile passing between them.

Dr. Otto's house was a two-story villa. Both the yard and the rooms were meticulously organized. When Chen Changsheng and his companions arrived, Otto's wife was tending to the flowers. Seeing her husband bring back two young men, she assumed they were his students and immediately greeted them warmly.

Every glance between Dr. Otto and his wife was filled with affection, which made Peter envious. When will Mary Jane and I be like Dr. Otto and his wife? Peter thought to himself.

While Dr. Otto was being interviewed by Peter, Chen Changsheng had the opportunity to chat with Otto's wife.

Dr. Otto's wife was named Rosalie Octavius. She was a Doctor of Literature, and her greatest hobbies were reading poetry and tending to plants.

Rosalie recounted how she and Otto met: a bookworm wearing thick glasses reciting Shakespearean poetry in front of a beautiful woman. This scene made Rosalie laugh at the time. Rosalie's smile, in turn, melted the bookworm Otto, and from then on, they both considered each other their irreplaceable true love.

Rosalie's gaze never left Otto as she spoke, her gentle eyes reminding Chen Changsheng of Gwen. Sometimes, when they looked at each other, Gwen had that same expression.

At the time, Chen Changsheng had just thought it was the tenderness of two people in love. Now, Chen Changsheng knew, this might be the legendary love.

Love. Chen Changsheng had never imagined he'd suddenly think about love, especially with a woman from another universe, or perhaps a virtual one.

Chen Changsheng felt he should bring Gwen over to witness this divine love he envied. Perhaps his own love was also envied by others.

Chen Changsheng reeled in his thoughts, which had soared into the sky, and focused his gaze on Peter. Classmate Peter Parker seemed to still be lost in the love triangle, unable to extricate himself.

The interview between Peter and Otto concluded as the sun set. From Dr. Rosalie, a literary doctor, Chen Changsheng also learned many sweet nothings, which he planned to tell Gwen at a later time.

The Octavius couple saw Peter off, but Chen Changsheng remained. Dr. Otto was preparing to invite Chen Changsheng to a family dinner to thank him for sponsoring his experiments.

By this time, Gwen had also finished work at Stark Industries. Chen Changsheng immediately sent someone to bring Gwen to him.

He wanted to prepare for the two young lovers to learn from this loving couple what love truly was.
