Little Ginny hugged the two Ghost Wolves by the door and gave them an affectionate squeeze, then screamed and charged into the restaurant, stepped onto a stool, and leaped onto Peter's back...
The happy little girl wrapped her arms around Peter's neck, made a web-shooting gesture, and went "Pew, pew" at Gwen.
"Gwen, have you saved up enough money?
I'm here to collect!"
Lin Shaoqing watched Peter grab Little Ginny off his back and perch her on his shoulders, then run around the restaurant with her twice. For the moment, the little princess forgot all about "collecting"...
And the other kids...
Nick swaggered into the restaurant, nodding his head and greeting everyone with practiced ease.
Nobody here seemed to treat Nick any differently because of his special identity.
They joked and laughed with the energetic kid, and every now and then, one of the old-timers in a good mood would quote lines from The Godfather at him.
A few rough-and-ready neighbors called loudly to the towering Richard, hoping to have a drink with him...
Only for Alvin to laughingly wave them away.
A little old man stopped the adorable Mindy and pinched her cheek. Furious, she darted behind the bar and grabbed Old Cheng, who was busy working. She demanded he avenge her—or at least lend her a knife...
Old Cheng promptly snatched up a cleaver from behind the bar and hurled it at the "lecherous old geezer," shaving off the last few hairs on top of his head...
Then he leaned over the bar and gave the old man an earful, sending him fleeing in disgrace.
Only after Mindy gazed at him admiringly, tugged on his arm, and stood on tiptoe to kiss his weathered cheek did Old Cheng happily return to the stove and get back to work!
