That night, the two of them swept away Street Rats Gang's five strongholds in one go. When Peter dragged his exhausted body back home, it was already late at night. He didn't even bother to change his clothes and fell asleep on the sofa in the living room.
"Ah!"
Suddenly there was a scream from upstairs.
Peter·Parker suddenly rubbed the sleep from the corners of his eyes and sat up from the sofa. He looked around in confusion - why was he sleeping on the sofa in the living room?
No, Tandy!
Peter was startled, and immediately turned over and crossed the coffee table, taking three steps at a time and then two steps at a time to rush up the stairs.
Pushing open the bedroom door, the sight in front of him made him take a breath. Aunt May and Tandy Bowen were standing in the center of the room, their eyes facing each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion as if their brains were shut down.
Seeing Peter appear, Aunt May turned his head sharply, his eyes as wide as bells. "Peter·Benjamin·Parker, explain it to me clearly!"
Peter wailed in his heart: Please help me.
Breakfast time.
Aunt May placed a large plate of steaming waffles piled high on the table, and did not forget to glare at the back of Peter's head. Even without looking back, Peter could feel those two murderous eyes.
"I'm sorry, Aunt May..." Peter sighed.
"You'd better realize your mistake!" Aunt May said through gritted teeth.
Uncle Ben on the side couldn't help but chuckled, "Okay Mei, give the child a chance. He does this to help others."
"Then you can't go out to a party and just bring a strange girl home for the night!" Aunt May retorted angrily, "I thought the worst had happened!"
Richard·Parker, who was sitting in front of the newspaper, raised his eyebrows. "The worst case scenario? You mean he finally got a new girlfriend?"
"That's right! And he also did such deviant things, what kind of one-night stand!"
Listening to Aunt May's vigorous accusation, Tandy's cheeks instantly turned red, and he lowered his head and wished he could crawl into the cracks in the ground.
Peter shook his head helplessly. "Okay Aunt May, you are embarrassing Tandy." After that, he reached out to grab a piece of waffle, but before he even touched the plate, he was slapped away by Aunt May.
"It's none of your business." Aunt May angrily brought out a bowl of tasteless oatmeal and placed it in front of him, "This is yours. The waffles are all Tandy's."
After saying that, Aunt May turned to look at Tandy, the gloom on his face was instantly wiped away, and he smiled particularly kindly and gently, so that the reserved girl could relax.
Peter scooped up a mouthful of oats and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering in a low voice, "This is so unfair. You have to be punished for doing good things... Hey, honey is added? It tastes okay."
"I just want to teach you a lesson, not torture you." Aunt May rolled his eyes at him, and then said softly to Tandy, "Okay, my dear, ignore him, can you tell us about yourself?"
Tandy blinked awkwardly. "I... I don't know where to start. I used to like shopping. Before I ran away from home, I always wanted to be a model."
Peter's eyes lit up and he grinned. "If that's the case, I happen to know two girls, and you will definitely be able to chat together. Wait... I actually forgot about this!"
Uncle Ben was a little curious. "What's wrong?"
Peter covered his forehead and sighed, "I just remembered that I lost the bet... Can any of you have a pink shirt that you can lend me?"
Richard stopped reading the newspaper and asked with interest, "What kind of weird bet did you make with someone again?"
"Flash bet me on who can strike up a conversation with a girl first." Peter shrugged, "Although I don't think he won at all, after all, the girl he took away was very drunk at the time, but forget it, I'm willing to admit defeat."
Aunt May frowned slightly. "Drunk girl? Is she okay?"
"Don't worry, Liz asked Johnny·Storm to send the person home. It should be okay." Peter recalled, "After the person was sent away, I didn't pay much attention to him."
"Peter, you should avoid going to places like that in the future." Aunt May was a little worried.
Uncle Ben smiled and waved his hand, "Relax, Mei. This kid usually stays at home and rarely goes out to play."
"That's right." Peter nodded in agreement, "And if I hadn't gone, I wouldn't have met Tandy."
As he said that, he blinked at Tandy, and the girl's cheeks suddenly blushed again.
While eating breakfast, Peter glanced at the newspaper in Richard's hand. The headline read clearly, "Street Rats Gang is completely destroyed!".
Peter sneered in his heart, this news was too exaggerated. Last night he and Matt·Murdock just destroyed the five strongholds of those guys. It was not a big move at all.
Just as he was laughing secretly, he noticed that Tandy was also staring at the title, with his eyes wide open and his face full of disbelief. Tandy turned to look at Peter, and Peter just shrugged as if nothing had happened. This girl already had some doubts about him, but she couldn't let her feet be exposed anymore.
At this moment, Peter's cell phone rang, and the number Matt was displayed on the screen.
He answered the phone, "Hi, Matt, what do you want from me?"
"Don't call me that." Matt's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
"You have such a bad temper. What happened?"
"I took a brief look at the girl's information." Matt went straight to the point, "I want to meet her. Talking in person will be more helpful to the case."
Peter nodded immediately. "No problem, when are you free?"
"How about lunch?"
"Then I'll see you at noon." Peter readily agreed, "See you then."
After hanging up the phone, Uncle Ben asked, "Who is calling?"
"A lawyer friend." Peter explained, "He promised to represent Tandy's case free of charge."
Tandy raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of shock. "He... he promised to help?"
"Yes! We will go to see him at noon today. So eat quickly, Tandy!" Peter joked with a smile.
"You can't go anywhere after eating, just go to school, sir!" Aunt May blocked his thoughts with one sentence.
Peter suddenly started wailing. "Aunt May! This is related to the future of a young girl!"
"Then I will go with Tandy." Aunt May said matter-of-factly, "Since you have already negotiated with the lawyer, it will be the same for me to go."
"But-"
"Forget it Peter." Uncle Ben interrupted him with a smile, "You lose this game."
Richard couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Son, you can't escape in this pink dress today."
Everyone at the table started laughing, and even Tandy hid his face and snickered. Peter sighed deeply, turned his grief and anger into appetite, and swallowed oatmeal in big gulps - he hated going to school.
