Brian Braddock. A graduate student in the Engineering Physics Laboratory of the University of London. His slender figure made him look very tall, and he was indeed very tall, about 1.87 meters tall. (Note: Peter Parker is only 1.75 meters tall.)
Although he was very tall, his body didn't look thin. He had the kind of body that looked thin when wearing clothes, but muscular when taking off clothes. Of course, Peter Parker also had this kind of body. But his height was a problem.
In terms of appearance, because Brian was 25 years old, he looked more mature, and his well-fitting clothes made him look like a standard British gentleman.
Peter Parker was only 19 years old this year. To be precise, he had just celebrated his 18th birthday and entered the 19th grade.
So when Peter Parker stood with Brian, in terms of appearance, height, and dress sense, he looked more like a child. Of course, this was not wrong. At 18 (or 19) years old, Peter Parker was just a slightly older child. This had nothing to do with whether he was a Spider-man or not.
It was as if he had brought a large box of things from New York. Most of them were daily necessities for Gwen and snacks that she liked to eat. Peter Parker didn't have that kind of awareness of giving expensive gifts, although as a Spider-man, he didn't lack money.
Let's talk about Brian. He looked very gentlemanly, and his behavior was very British.
For example, he was driving his Aston Martin, taking Gwen and Peter out for lunch.
"Is this your first time in London, Peter?" (̄ ▽ ̄)/"Brian said to Peter, who was sitting in the passenger seat, as if they were very familiar with each other.
"Yes, because I won a lottery in the mall … (? ω `)/" "Pyotr repeated the lie that no one would have believed.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Gwen turned her head out of the window and shook her head noncommittally: "(..?)"
This was the most embarrassing thing. Peter Parker was her ex-boyfriend, and Brian was pursuing her. Although Brian didn't say it explicitly, Gwen wasn't a fool. She knew why Brian was trying to please her, but she was thousands of miles away and unfamiliar with the place. It was hard for Gwen to refuse a senior who was willing to help.
After all, Brian was a gentleman. Just like today, Brian was going to help Gwen find a suitable part-time job.
With Gwen's work experience in New York, she might be able to get a job in the lab. Of course, Brian would also invite Gwen to lunch or something.
Of course, when Peter knew about this, he immediately said, "I just flew back from New York, and I happen to be hungry. (???? He looked at Gwen and Brian as he spoke.
Gwen really didn't know what to say. Brian tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Then, let's have lunch with Gwen's friend."
Hence, there was this awkward situation in the car.
Gwen doesn't speak. The two men talk to each other.
"Was it hard to fly from New York to London? Isn't the economy class very crowded? I probably won't be able to sleep with my legs curled up for more than ten hours. I'm so envious of you. "Brian glanced at Peter Parker as he drove. Look, a gentleman is really different. He doesn't have any anger in his words.
Peter wore a Captain America T-shirt today. It was bought a year ago. Now it's a little faded, but you can't see it if you don't look carefully. In addition, he wore a pair of ordinary jeans and a pair of sneakers. This outfit was very suitable for his grade.
But today, Brian and Gwen both wore very formal suits, which made Peter look too casual. Especially today, Gwen also wore a pair of high-heeled leather sandals.
When Peter and Gwen were dating, Gwen never wore high heels. Because Gwen herself wasn't short, about 1.68 meters. If she wore five or even seven centimeters high heels, she would look taller than Peter.
Peter glanced at Brian and said, "Really? I've only been in first class. I haven't seen what economy class looks like. In fact, except for this time, I usually take a private plane for all my international flights. (Yes, before this, I only had international flight experience to the East Ocean. I took the Osborne Group's private plane, so Peter didn't lie.) (̄) ̄ "
Gwen lowered her head. She had an awkward expression. Fortunately, it didn't take long to arrive at the place for lunch.
It was a French seafood restaurant. Don't ask me why British people eat French food at formal banquets.
This kind of high-end restaurant provides a different menu every day, usually according to the season. Usually there are three appetizers and soup, plus two or three main dishes, plus about five main dishes and three desserts. Then you choose a matching appetizer, soup, main dish, main dish and dessert to form a complete menu.
The menu is in French and there are no pictures. This made Peter Parker a little confused. He hadn't learned French!
Brian called the waiter over and ordered in French proficiently. He signaled the waiter to see what Peter wanted. Brian: (̄) ̄) ̄ Then the waiter looked at Peter. Peter: Fortunately, Gwen knew that Peter Parker didn't understand this, so she quickly said, "Give this gentleman the chef's recommendation for the French mixed fish soup. Change the sparkling wine to orange juice, and don't add parsley to all the dishes. He doesn't eat parsley. I also want the chef to recommend the menu. Change the main dish of mixed fish soup to salt-fried codfish. "
Anyone who has eaten French food knows that this kind of banquet, even if it's a simplified lunch, takes a long time to serve the dishes. There are 10 to 20 minutes between each dish to give the guests a private space to talk. This is the main reason why many people choose to talk business while eating French food.
It didn't matter if it was about dating or business. Most people who come to this kind of restaurant are in even numbers. It's either two or four people.
It was rare to see a table with three people, especially two men and a woman.
The description should be very thorough.
Fortunately, an urgent ringtone broke the silence. It was Gwen's phone. She signaled for herself to go out and answer the phone.
Only Peter and Brian were left at the scene.
Brian: (̄ ▽ ̄)/Buddy, you're Gwen's ex-boyfriend.
Peter replied, "̄ ̄ ̄, it's my boyfriend!"
Brian: "(~ ̄ ▽ ̄) ~ Stubborn duck."
Peter said, "(̄ ∀ ̄) It's just a small conflict for now. Once we resolve it, it'll be fine!"
Brian: "(* ̄) ̄) Hehe."
Peter: "What do you mean? Do you want to fight? (▼ • ▼ #) "
Brian: (* ̄ ̄ ̄) With your size, I think I can beat a hundred of you.
Peter: "Then let's give it a try!"
Brian: "(* ̄ * ̄) British gentlemen never use violence as the best way to solve problems. That's what Americans like to do." (British sense of superiority arising spontaneously.)
Peter: " So even if there's a problem in this world, the British will just tuck their tails and pretend not to see it, right? Perhaps this is what you call gentlemanly? "
Brian: "You're courting death. You can insult me, but you can't insult my country!"
Peter: "F * ck! You were the one who insulted my country first!"
Just as the battle between the two was about to break out, Gavin walked back, and the two instantly restored their courteous appearance.
Peter: "Brian, what did you just say? You even care about the age of the water you drink? As expected of a refined British gentleman. (o? ▽?)
”
Brian: "Not at all, not at all. I didn't expect Peter to be so proficient in video games, animation, and comics. You're simply the leader of the otaku world (▽? ▽?)? "
Cheers: [~ (̄ ▽ ̄) ~ [] [] ~ (̄ ▽ ̄) ~, a harmonious atmosphere.
Gavin knew that the two were definitely not as simple as they seemed, so she quickly said, "Brian, thank you very much for helping me contact your teacher. But I'm sorry, Darcy just called me. Her teacher's lab happened to be short of staff, so she recommended me. I'm sorry, I'll be leaving soon. "
Gavin looked at Peter again, her expression a little complicated. "Peter, I'm sorry. I have to rush to school now. I don't have time to entertain you. Here's the key to my apartment. If you don't go back today, you can sleep on the sofa. I'll be leaving first. I saw that the two of you were having a good chat just now. Maybe you can continue chatting. "
"Oh, by the way, I've just paid the bill. You two take your time." Gavin faked a smile and quickly ran away. She didn't want to stay here a second longer.
