Chapter 11 I keep turning the switch on and on until I get tired of the current...
The most urgent thing now is to find a corner to stay in. Liu Shu doesn't really want to watch this scene, so she quietly retreats.
"When I was your age, I wasn't just chatting with others." Tony raised his glass to Liu Shu. He seemed to want to leave because he felt she was being ignored.
"I'm just hungry." She waved her hand.
"Here at my place, feel free to eat whatever you want." He winked at Liu Shu with his left eye.
"I heard that Mr. Stark has a young man he really likes." Tim asked casually in a relaxed tone, "Is he here today?"
Liu Shu, who successfully left, straightened her long hair by her ears. She looked at the crowd surrounding Tim and Tony and shook her head. Even if they got close to them, those two wouldn't even look at them.
It would be better to make something useful. If you could build a perpetual motion machine and put it in front of them, who wouldn't chase him and talk to him?
The small cakes at the banquet were pretty good. Liu Shu tasted the flavor he liked and looked at the cake in his hand with a happy face.
"Minors are not allowed to drink." A familiar person said to her when she wanted to take the wine glass.
"Isn't this juice?" Liu Shu turned around and saw the high school student he saw today.
"That's the one over there." He pointed to the other end of the long table.
"Thank you." Also, sorry, Liu Shu, who had been helping Tim cut newspapers all afternoon, couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he saw him.
While she was sorting things out, Tim was not idle. He was typing away, searching the Internet for clues.
He must be Spider-Man in Tim's mind now. How pitiful. He might know it no matter where he lives.
"?" Peter Parker gave the girl in front of him a shy smile. He didn't know why she was looking at him as if she owed him something. What happened?
"Do you feel a chill on your back?" Liu Shu didn't go to get the juice. She was quite curious about Spider-Man's unique abilities. Since she had met him, she decided to ask him.
"Yeah...right? How did you know?" Peter did have this feeling. He turned around, but only saw Mr. Stark talking to a high school student.
"You're not wearing enough clothes." He said this against his conscience.
"Is that so? Thank you!"
He felt even more guilty. This child was so naive. Liu Shu lowered his head and didn't dare to continue looking at him.
While they were standing there, someone came over.
"Sorry, he didn't mean to steal your female companion, hahahaha..." Tony held the wine glass and laughed very cheerfully.
"I know." Tim took out a signature pad from his arms and put it in Peter's hand.
He leaned close to his ear and said, loud enough for only Peter to hear, "Can you sign an autograph for me, Spider-Man?"
“!!!”
Peter was so frightened that he dropped the cardboard in his hand, but he reacted quickly and caught it again.
"Haha, are you kidding?" He tried to cover it up. "You want Mr. Stark's autograph, right? Isn't he right here?"
Tim said nothing, looking at him with a half-smile.
For some reason, Tony's smile widened. Wasn't Peter on his side? Why did she feel like he was watching everyone's fun? Liu Shu tapped the white cloth on the table and turned to get some juice. It wasn't a good time to stay here for long.
Moreover, Liu Shu always felt that Iron Man should know Batman's identity.
Maybe they even know each other.
This speculation is not without reason. The most influential people in the two cities should know each other.
After Liu Shu left, Peter looked at Tony and when he saw him nod, he wrote on the signature board.
They continued to talk about the theme of the party.
"Is there anything you like? The last thing Stark lacks is creativity." Tony decided to give something to the adopted son of the richest man in the neighboring city.
"No need for that. Today's demonstration is really eye-opening." Tim thought confidently that Gotham's technological products would not be inferior to his.
"Then I'll give you this."
When Liu Shu returned to them, he had a photo in his hand, which was of Iron Man and his signature, and it was said that it could be sold for a lot of money.
"Thank you." She thanked him calmly. Liu Shu felt like a child who was given money when he went to a relative's house. Since he couldn't put the money into the parents' (Tim's) hands, he stuffed it into the children.
It was finally over and Tim opened the car door for her.
"Are you tired?"
"What do you think?" Looking at the person who was helping her fasten her seat belt, Liu Shu closed her eyes peacefully, imitating what he did in the morning.
"We're going to the beach near the hotel tomorrow. I'll buy you some donuts. Do you want to clear the area?" Tim clasped his hands together. "Anything else you want, please let me know."
“…”
Already asleep.
But people always have to wake up. Liu Shu stood on the side of the road and watched Tim who was instructing the driver. She had a headache because of the evening breeze.
It is difficult for people who are in a daze to perceive time. It felt like a long time passed before Tim finished speaking.
By the time Liu Shu reached the door of the room, his brain was finally able to work.
"See you tomorrow." Tim said as he looked at the man who was about to close the door. His voice was a little soft, but she still heard it.
"Um."
Next in front of Liu Shu was the class monitor, who had led the way all day, helped the teacher with roll call several times, and made sure no one was left behind when getting on or off the bus. She surveyed Liu Shu's dress with a puzzled expression, as if she had seen aliens invade Earth and only steal a chicken.
"You guys?" Where on earth had they been that they were dressed so gorgeously.
Liu Shu touched her face and found that her makeup had been removed. Was it removed in the car? She didn't feel anything at all.
"I went to see Iron Man."
"Wow—that's great." Winnie clenched her fist and placed it on her chest. "No wonder she wears it like that."
No, if she was just going to meet Iron Man, she would never wear this. Liu Shu shook her head, "It's not what you think."
Winnie pushed her to the bed and said, "Go wash up quickly. You can play all day tomorrow. Make sure you get enough rest."
"Which light is in the bathroom?" Liu Shu tried several at the bathroom door. She turned off and on the lights in the room, and only turned on the correct light when she tried the last one.
"It's the one on the far right. Ah, it's already open." Winnie was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone. She seemed to be talking to her family on the phone.
After closing the door, Liu Shu looked at herself in the mirror and found that Tim had removed the makeup quite cleanly and did not make her face red.
But since his job is special, it's not surprising that he knows these things.
Accompanied by the heat, Liu Shu changed into pajamas and walked out holding the clothes. She had to think about how to wash and put on this dress.
"I can only get this washed at a dry cleaner back in Gotham," Winnie said, lifting the hem of her skirt and glancing at the material. "The clothes I took off earlier can be washed in the hotel's laundry room; they have a dryer there."
"Then I'll go." Liu Shu took out the clothes from the bag, put on his coat and went out.
There was no one in the laundry room at this time.
The sound of the washing machine was a bit noisy, so Liu Shu walked to the terrace on this floor.
The sound of stepping on the wooden floors depends on their age, and they are obviously quite old.
Liu Shu stood by the railing, looking at the moon in the distance.
She really took a fancy to it.
Calculating the time, the clothes should be ready. Liu Shu looked around. The silence of the late night could sometimes make people a little scared, so she trotted back.
"?" Tim, who was on the high ground, didn't know why she ran away, so he began to look around to see if there was anything wrong.
It was not until she lay in bed that Liu Shu realized that someone was watching her, not a ghost.
"What happened next? What did you come back for?" Winnie's voice came from the side. Sleeping with friends means chatting.
"I went with him to his room and cut up the newspaper."
"What?!"
Liu Shu heard the sound of Winnie lifting the quilt, and she looked in Liu Shu's direction in the dark.
"I always thought that guy was someone who had many girlfriends, but I didn't expect..."
What’s the difference between this and looking at a luminous watch under the covers with someone?
Only after reviewing it did I realize how strange this incident was. Liu Shu didn't dare to say anything. She was actually very happy while getting her haircut.
Sorry Tim, she has tarnished his image. Liu Shu pulled up the quilt and apologized to him in her heart.
As they chatted incoherently, they gradually fell asleep due to exhaustion.
Liu Shu, who had not been awakened by the sun for a long time, burrowed into the quilt. She was already awake, but she was a follower of the Huilong sect, and only for today.
After a while.
"Do you want to get up?" Winnie looked at the person playing with his cell phone under the quilt, and she woke up too.
"Didn't we go to bed a little late? Do we have to gather later?" Liu Shu knelt on the bed and rubbed his eyes with his sleeves out of habit.
"No, today we can just walk slowly to the beach. There's no set time." Winnie stretched. "Ha—finally I don't have to help the teacher count people."
"Thank you for your hard work." Being a squad leader is so tiring. Liu Shu put on his slippers and walked towards his suitcase.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. If you perform well, you won't have to worry about college next year." Winnie said as she rummaged through her clothes.
Her everyday clothes all looked very elegant. Liu Shu glanced at Winnie's long dress spread out on the bed.
"Put on your swimsuit inside so you can go into the water directly. Oh, also take a bag with a set of underwear to change into after you get ashore." Winnie took out the bag and reminded her.
"Should we apply sunscreen now or later?" Liu Shu also started to prepare.
"Apply it once now, and wear it with you. Apply it again when you get ashore. You absolutely cannot get a tan."
"ah?"
"Because it's the cutest this way, and it's better to be white and tender."
He just casually said such perverted words, his talent is so terrifying.
After finishing everything, I can finally go out.
“…” Liu Shu looked at the food on the buffet table, feeling a little worried.
It doesn’t look delicious. Several classmates next to me wanted to cut a whole loaf of bread, but they failed. Is it really that hard?
"Good morning!" Someone came up behind him with a familiar breath. Liu Shu turned around and saw Tim, who was still wrapped tightly.
Some of the male classmates I just met were even wearing only shorts and shirts. Maybe it was cold in Tim today. "Good morning." Liu Shu saw what was in his hand.
"Here, breakfast." Tim asked the driver from last night to buy it for him. He guessed Liu Shu was not used to the bread here.
"Thank you." May good people have a peaceful life. Liu Shu took the bag.
"Have you eaten?" Although this was what he deserved for helping him yesterday, Liu Shu still asked.
