For Gwen, the recent days have been a bit difficult. Gwen's life has been smooth since she was a child. She has the appearance and brain that other female students are jealous of. She has a happy family that others envy.
In the internship group of the Osborne Group, she is the most valued by the professor. She is the role model of her younger brother and sister. She is the pride of the family.
Her father and mother's love for her did not make her have any spoiled character. Although she is indeed excellent, she can try her best to treat everyone kindly.
Gwen has hardly experienced failure and setbacks since she was a child. She always asks herself to be perfect in all aspects. You can say that she is strong and unwilling to admit defeat. You can also say that she is career-oriented. But no matter what, this is a part of her character.
Independence is Gwen's characteristic. It is also because of her excellence and independence. From junior high school, there is no shortage of boys who began to have a crush on her. After high school, including the stars of the school basketball and football teams, all wanted to date her. But she rejected them one by one.
Because she is very clear about what she wants. Those guys are not her type. Until she met Peter. Although this boy is a bit glib, he has a special charm when he does things seriously.
In terms of handsomeness or figure, Peter is not as good as the boys on the school basketball team who pursue Gwen. Compared to most people, Peter does not have much advantage in terms of appearance, especially in terms of height. He is only a little taller than her.
But it is such a boy who attracts Gwen's attention. Compared with those peers who only know how to act cool, Peter's mind always has a variety of knowledge and a variety of novel ideas.
In the field of biology and genetics, the boy's various insights were enough to enlighten the old professors. Because of this, this boy is more and more attention to Gwen.
When did I fall in love with him? Gwen does not know. Everything seems to come naturally. The first time Peter clumsily invited her to dinner, she still remembers going to Li Jie's house, when he just got a dining car.
Although sometimes the two quarrel because of small things, they have never really got angry. A little romantic, a little warm. Gwen wants to plan her own love route in her own way, just like she plans her own life.
She had thought that the love story between her and this boy would go on peacefully and perfectly according to her plan. Until the hickey appeared and broke the peace.
She didn't want to listen to Peter's explanation because she knew what it meant. Any explanation would be futile. Explanations and cover-ups were all excuses, and all the excuses were just to cover up the truth of the matter.
Gwen knew what she wanted. She didn't want to be blinded by the truth, so she proposed to break up.
But why does my heart hurt so much? It was clear that Peter was in the wrong, but why was he the one who was so sad? It's not fair. Gwen curls up on the bed, wraps her arms around her legs, and buries her face behind them.
She didn't cry, just sad. Beside Gwen were two of her best friends. One was her classmate, Ivy, and the other was Mary Jane.
Mary Jane was Harry's girlfriend, and Gwen had always had a good relationship with Harry. Mary was an elegant, gentle, and strong woman. She was two years older than Gwen. At a young age, she had become a rising star in Broadway musicals.
It could be said that she was the representative of the new era of women, independent and daring. Gwen quickly liked the girl who was two years older than her because she could always find the same topic with Mary.
Ivy and Mary were not familiar, but she knew that Gwen had been in a bad mood recently and seemed to have quarreled with her boyfriend. She wanted to comfort her good sister. "Well, Gwen, it's just a man. It's no big deal."
Ivy sat next to Gwen and put her arm around Gwen's shoulder. "People can't avoid a few scumbags in their life. Not everyone's relationship can go smoothly. You'll get used to it after a few breakups. Instead of thinking about this, let's think about something else. I recently got a new job. I drew Deadpool and Hawkeye's book. You know I can't do without your scripts. You're the best in this area. Just like the Spider-man book you wrote, it's always a hit! "
Mary couldn't help shaking her head when she heard Ivy's words, although Ivy said this to make Gwen happy and divert her attention. But such words couldn't comfort Gwen at all.
Gwen forced a smile at Ivy. She leaned her head on Ivy's shoulder, and Ivy gently patted her back.
"Mary, why do I feel so bad when it's not my fault? Why can't Peter be like Harry? "Gwen said sadly.
Mary looked at Gwen. "You know what? In fact, Harry often comes home with the smell of different women's perfume. "
Just this one sentence surprised Gwen a little. "Oh my God, Harry also …" Mary shook her head. "It's complicated, girl. It's not as simple as you think. "
She sat next to Gwen and took one of Gwen's hands. "Harry is the chairman of the Osborne Group. In his position, you can guess how many women are around him. In all kinds of social interactions and business matters, those competitors are willing to use any kind of underhanded means. "
Although Mary said these words with a smile, Gwen tightened her lips. "But Harry didn't do anything wrong, right?"
"If I were him and saw him coming home with the smell of different women every day, would you believe him?" Mary looked at Gwen with a smile. Under Mary's gaze, Gwen shook her head. It was impossible for her to do this.
"So you believe in Harry so much?" Gwen suddenly hated Harry.
Mary said something else. "Because Harry also believes in me. On the stage, I perform with other men all kinds of love and hate. Even when I'm on tour, I often don't return to New York for a month. "
"I think you should know the chaos in this circle. Whether it's a model or an actor, gossip and some scandals are common. Some things were groundless, but there were also many that were true. I've been out for a long time and mingled with these people. Harry also believes in me. "Mary lifted a strand of her hair.
"If our positions were reversed, Peter would become Harry and you would become me. How long do you think your relationship can last? "Hearing this question, Gwen was stunned for a moment and finally gritted her teeth." Maybe no more than three days. "
Mary took Gwen's hand and patted the back of her hand. "Trust is mutual, but friction between lovers is inevitable. Communication is always better than quarreling. Even if we have to break up, it won't be too ugly. "
Mary looked at Gwen with a smile, but Ivy suddenly said, "Are you trying to persuade Gwen to make up with Peter?"
"No." Mary shook her head. "Emotional setbacks are just a simple checkpoint in life. It's something everyone has to overcome. My love for Harry is different from yours and Peter's. Both of you are rookies with no love experience. Peter can't resist the temptation, and you are confused because of a slight setback in love. Actually, it's nothing. "Speaking of this, Mary couldn't help but shake her head gently.
"Harry told me truthfully that he had a lot of girlfriends before. Some were chosen by himself, and some were chosen by his father, Norman. Before I dated Harry, I had been with other men. We've experienced these things and know what we want in our hearts. Keep your guard up and don't cross the line. That's the most important thing. Only when you truly understand what you need can you truly face your own feelings. "
"You and Peter are the same, flowers that haven't experienced the wind and rain. Life is always smooth sailing, and there are always a lot of things you take for granted, but life won't go according to your plan. There are always twists and turns in the road, and we always have to find a way to overcome obstacles. For me and Harry, love is mutual trust and support. You and Peter still need more growth. "
Gwen listened quietly to Mary's words and quietly lowered her head.
The same conversation was also told to Peter by Harry.
… …
It was a week later when Gwen was willing to see Peter again. At nine o 'clock, she heard the sound of knocking on the glass. Peter was on the fire escape of her apartment, which was thirty floors high! Gwen didn't know how Peter was able to climb up. The fire escape of this apartment was equipped with safety devices. However, Gwen was willing to see Peter in the end and told him what she had been thinking about for more than a week.
"Good evening." The two stood on the independent balcony of Gwen's house. Peter looked a little reserved, just like when he first met Gwen. And Gwen was the same.
"I say …" The two spoke at the same time, and then fell silent at the same time. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
In the end, it was Peter who spoke first. "You speak first."
Gwen smiled. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hit you last time. No matter what, it's not good to resort to violence. After all, my father is a police officer. He always tells me not to use violence to solve problems that can be solved rationally. "
Peter quickly waved his hand. "No, it's my fault. I didn't resist the temptation, and as a boyfriend, I wasn't honest with you. Although I'm not now. "
After Peter said this, the two fell into silence again.
Gwen looked up at the night view of New York City and asked absentmindedly, "Can you tell me how you were not honest? Mary told me that communication is always good, even as ordinary friends. "
Peter took a deep breath. "There are a lot of things, a lot of them. If you have time, I want to start with the Osborne Group. "
Peter Parker said a lot of things, all about himself, including the fact that he became a Spider-man. He also showed his ability to Gwen. There was also the matter of the black cat.
"I'm not asking for your forgiveness by saying this." Peter took a glass of water stuck to the spider silk from his hand. "I ask myself. I can't deny that I was moved by the black cat or wavered. At that moment, I betrayed you."
"I can't expect forgiveness. I'm saying this because I feel that there are some things that I need to be honest with you. My thoughts are sometimes very naive. It's like that with you, and it's the same with other things, including feelings. I'm too full of myself. "
Peter was very depressed, but he was very sincere. He had been reflecting on himself for a week, and the result of his thinking was that he was not worthy of forgiveness. A mistake was a mistake, and there was a price to pay for it. It wasn't that he didn't have the ability to push the black cat away, but he was wavering.
His only purpose today was to confess his mistake to Gwen. His own mistakes should not make others feel bad.
Gwen looked at Peter deeply. "Actually, it's not bad. At least I dated a superhero."
"Yes, you even drew my comic with Ivy." Peter suddenly thought of this. "After I heard you were a scriptwriter, I begged you not to be Ivy's scriptwriter in Central Park."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Gwen's face suddenly turned red, like a cooked shrimp. She couldn't help but pat Peter on the back. The relationship between the two suddenly became harmonious again.
It was not until the laughter and quarreling calmed down again that the two knew that some things still existed.
Gwen looked at the night view and said, "I plan to go to London University as an exchange student for a year."
Her voice was very soft, and Peter asked in the same soft voice, "Why?"
"My life is too simple. I've always been taken care of by my parents, by my teachers, by you." Gwen shook her head. "I've never tried to be truly independent. I haven't suffered any setbacks or failures in my life. It may seem successful, but maybe one blow can make me fall into despair and madness. "
Gwen looked into Peter's eyes seriously. Peter could see the light shining in Gwen's beautiful blue eyes. "It's like my feelings for you, Peter."
"Can't you stay?" Peter couldn't help but ask. Gwen shook her head at him.
"When are you leaving?" "In five days. I want to familiarize myself with London before school starts."
The two chatted on the rooftop like ordinary friends. They talked about their future studies and life, and about how many times it rained in London a year.
New York International Airport.
On the day Gwen left, her friends came to see her off. Including Li Jie, Harry and Peter. Gwen gave each of them a big hug. After all, it would be at least a year before they saw each other again. As an exchange student for a year, Gwen had made a very busy life and study plan for herself. In an unfamiliar place, she might encounter a lot of accidents. So she wouldn't have time to come back even during the holidays.
"Goodbye." Gwen hugged Peter for the last time and said calmly.
"Have a safe trip. Maybe I'll go to London to play with you when I'm free." Peter forced a smile.
"Then I'll find the best fish and chips to entertain you," Gwen said very seriously. Everyone burst out laughing.
As Peter watched Gwen board the plane, Gwen looked at the land under her feet that was getting farther and farther away from her. There seemed to be something in their hearts that they couldn't explain.
A long journey did not mean a permanent departure. When you think something symbolizes the end, in fact, it's just a new start from another starting point.
At this moment, Peter and Gwen both felt that they were growing up.
… …
In Osborn Manor, Harry hugged Mary tightly. He deeply inhaled the fragrance from Mary's hair. "Seeing Peter and Gwen, I realized how important you are in my life. Mary, don't ever leave me, okay? "
"Is this a confession of love?" Mary also hugged Harry. She naughtily poked Harry's nose with her finger. "But can you promise to always love me like this?"
"I can promise." Harry said solemnly, "Anyone who tries to take you away from me will have to step over my dead body."
"I like to hear these sweet words." Mary smiled and gave Harry a deep kiss.
"If you like it, let me always be your guardian knight." Harry suddenly knelt on one knee and took out a small and exquisite box from his pocket. He opened the box and there was a carefully selected diamond ring inside.
The diamond ring reflected dazzling colors in the sun. Harry stared into Mary's eyes and said sincerely, "Ms. Mary Jane Watson, please marry me!"
Harry solemnly said the vows of marriage. Mary looked at Harry in disbelief. She thought she was dreaming. But this dream was so real, and great joy filled her body in an instant.
Her eyes instantly became watery. Mary took the ring and said in a slightly trembling but happy tone, "Then please, my knight, put this ring on for me."
"With pleasure, Your Highness."
… …
Li Jie returned home with two movie tickets in his hand. Because of Peter and Gwen, he was thinking about a lot of things. Whether it was good or bad, inexplicable annoyance or something else.
Not everything in this world could go your way. Sometimes, people would regret missing out on things. He knocked on Lan's door. Lan was studying the wizard's notes.
"Are you free tonight, Lan?" Lan, "Li Jie asked.
"Yes, what is it? Do you need me to open a dimensional door for you? "Lan turned around and glanced at Li Jie.
"No, I just want to invite you to a movie." Li Jie waved the movie tickets in his hand.
Lan tilted her head and thought for a while. Then she laughed. "Okay."
… …
Recently, Peter was still living in Li Jie's house because Gwen's departure still affected him. He wanted to get some comfort from his old friend.
But today, Li Jie didn't seem to want to talk to him at all. He didn't even want to play with him on the PS4. This made Peter very depressed.
"Can't you comfort me a little?" Peter walked to Li Jie's room and looked at Li Jie, who was changing clothes.
"I've comforted you many times. Who was the one who told me that you've grown up and understood a lot of things? And that you want to become a better person. That's the only way to win back Gwen. "Li Jie looked at his hair in the mirror. Maybe he should comb it more to the right.
"I'm going out to a movie with Lan tonight. I don't have time to accompany you."
"Take me with you." Li Jie stopped what he was doing. He looked at Peter in disbelief and then continued working.
"You don't want to watch this movie with us."
"Why?"
"Because this movie is called A Dog's Mission."
PS: In most states, people can get married at 18, so it's okay for Harry and Mary to get married.
