American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!.

Chapter 461: Daddy is still with you on the journey to the land without sun

"What's wrong, Dad?"

Seeing Peter suddenly step on the brakes again, Raven, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked at him strangely.

"No, it's okay."

Peter retracted his gaze and shook his head at Raven.

His gaze just now inadvertently caught a glimpse of a girl dressed in Gothic style on the sidewalk opposite.

The other person walked through the crowd, and the different aura he exuded made him unable to help but take a few more glances.

"Dad, are you looking at the pretty girls?"

Riven looked outside and saw a group of beautifully dressed women walking on the sidewalk.

Thinking that Peter's eyes were attracted by the beauty, her little face immediately wrinkled.

"No, of course not."

Peter immediately denied it.

In my daughter's eyes, am I the kind of person who can't walk when seeing a beautiful woman?
He was a little sad.

Starting the car, Peter continued driving forward.

"Dad, can you stop for a moment? I want to buy a drink. It's in the supermarket in front."

Star-Lord, who had been sitting in the back row and listening to music, suddenly looked up and said to Peter.

Mark also raised his hand and said, "I want to buy an ice cream, too."

Hearing that the two wanted to buy something, Peter had no choice but to park the car in the parking lot near the supermarket in front.

"You can't have too much ice cream, Mark."

Peter slammed the car door shut and said to Mark who got out.

"Okay, Dad."

Mark nodded immediately.

"Dad, you have to be critical of Mark, he's been eating a lot of ice cream lately."

Raven walked in front and spoke to Peter with a slightly frowned brow.

Mark immediately felt guilty when he heard Raven complaining to her father.

“I eat ice cream because it makes me happy.”

Mark felt that he couldn't lose face in front of his father, so he mustered up the courage to speak.

"In a good mood?"

Raven glanced at Mark suspiciously.

"Yes, do you know who invented ice cream? Sister."

Mark coughed like Peter, ready to teach Raven a lesson.

Without waiting for Raven to speak, he continued, "It was Harry Burt, an imaginative American businessman who drove a truck with a freezer on it to sell candy and ice cream. One day, he came up with a way to make the popular chocolate crispy ice cream at the time. However, when his daughter was about to enjoy a delicious treat, the ice cream quickly melted and got all over her hands."

Riven was stunned by what Mark said.

"When Bert returned to the studio, he saw a pile of wooden sticks used to make lollipops. Suddenly, a great idea came to his mind. He put a wooden stick in each ice cream square. From then on, the popsicle was born!"

"He named his invention 'Good Mood Popsicle' because he firmly believed that eating ice cream would make people happy."

Mark looked at Peter with a little pride, "This is the reason why ice cream was invented. It is to make people happy."

Raven listened to Mark's story about ice cream and asked him in surprise, "Where did you see these, Mark?"

"In books, I usually like to read some popular science books."

"Ice cream might be really pleasurable initially, but once you eat too much, it's not pleasurable at all for your body."

Peter said, touching Mark's head.

He didn't expect Mark's knowledge to be so broad.

Is this kid not going to focus on his superhero career in the future and become a scholar?
Peter looked at Mark, who was grabbed by the ear by the angry Raven, and fell into deep thought.

Supermarket.

There weren't many people shopping. Riven bought a piece of chewing gum and went to the counter to pay.

Peter, Star-Lord and Mark were still picking things in the supermarket.

The only people ahead of Riven were a father and daughter.

The little blonde girl seemed to be worried about her academic problems. She raised her head and asked her father nervously, "Dad, will the officer who catches truant students catch me? Bell said there is an officer who catches truant students. He is responsible for catching truant students."

Hearing his daughter's words, the father touched the little girl's hair and said, "No, they won't catch you, because you are not skipping classes. Dad has already asked for leave from school for you. In the fall, you can come back to school."

The little girl's face looked a little unhealthy.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, then said to her father, "I really hope autumn will come soon. I've never been to second grade before. I don't know what second graders do. Do they do homework like us? Dad."

"Yeah, they do the same homework as you, first graders and second graders, don't worry, honey, you'll be fine."

The father whispered to comfort his daughter.

Listening to the conversation between the father and daughter in front of her, Riven's expression turned gloomy.

She could feel the girl's father's mood.

She has a strong spiritual perception and can always clearly feel other people's emotions.

Whether it is joy or pain.

"What's wrong? Raven."

After checking out and coming out of the supermarket, Peter saw his daughter's strange behavior and asked her. "It's just... I just thought of some bad things, Dad."

Raven gave Peter a forced smile.

Peter raised his eyes and glanced at the father and daughter who were leaving.

"They're going to be okay, Raven."

Peter guessed something and whispered to comfort his daughter.

Raven stopped and said to Peter with some frustration: "Dad, what do you think about death?"

"die?"

Peter paused slightly when he suddenly heard his daughter ask such a serious question.

He glanced at Star-Lord and asked him to take Mark into the car first.

"Why do you ask that suddenly? Raven."

"I don't know. Maybe seeing that father and daughter made me think of something bad. When we were fighting General Zod, we destroyed half of the metropolis. Maybe some innocent people died in our fight."

Ruiwen said with some self-blame: "Although I always tell myself not to think about it, I always can't control my random thoughts."

"No, it's not your fault, Raven."

Peter bent down and put his hand on his daughter's shoulder. "Think of it this way. If you hadn't taken action, all the people on Earth would have died. This is a choice. Although it is difficult, you must understand, Raven. Choosing means taking responsibility. Not choosing means escaping."

“Although we may lose something if we make a choice, all better things are exchanged for a greater price. This is the norm in life.”

"I know, Dad."

Raven raised her sad eyes, "I know I have to do this, but seeing someone die still makes me uncontrollably sad."

"Dad, will death find us one day? Will the death of the Endless Family you mentioned find us and force us to separate? You said, Dad, that only death is inevitable."

"It makes me depressed to think that one day, Dad, I might be separated from you by death."

Raven took Peter's hand and placed it over her heart.

"There's going to be uncontrollable pain here."

Seeing his daughter lowering her head with red eyes, Peter held her hand tightly.

He could sense Riven's mood.

The appearance of the Sandman and the Endless Family made her feel deeply insecure.

"No, it won't, Raven. Although death is inevitable, it won't befall us. Even if that happens, dad will still accompany you on the journey to the Sunless Land. You will never be alone."

Listening to her father's "confession" to her, Riven raised her head and looked into her father's eyes.

"Dad, would you do that even if it meant abandoning your farm?"

"Compared to you, the farm is just a place. Although it is important, it only has meaning because of you."

Hearing Peter's words, Raven was moved and hugged Peter.

"No, Dad, I won't let that happen. I won't let anything separate us, and I will protect the farm."

Peter smiled and patted his daughter on the back, "Of course, I believe you."

in the car.

Mark and Star-Lord saw Raven hugging her father through the glass.

"actually."

Mark scratched his hair and said to Star-Lord, "Sister Raven, you actually have the most things on your mind."

Star-Lord nodded, "I agree."

After a brief incident, Peter brought the three of them to the venue where the concert was held.

After sitting down, Star-Lord took out the flyer.

"It was Dvor Shak from the New World at the beginning. We were almost late."

(Dvorak - From the New World is an album released in Germany in 1972 by Kubelik, with music produced by him.)
After sitting down, Star-Lord couldn't help but let out a breath.

He looked forward and saw that the front row was already full, with some listeners dressed in their best clothes.

He even saw someone wearing a three-story-high headdress, just like the female stars at the Oscars, without caring about the lives of the audience in the back row.

Mark, who was standing next to him, asked Star-Lord curiously, "Brother, was this the concert you attended last time?"

"No, the last time I participated was outdoors, in a park, with tall buildings and a purple dusk. The stage under the dome was suspended in the background of the tall buildings and the dusk. When the lights were turned on, it was like one world temporarily opened up into another world."

Star-Lord talked about his last concert experience, "But there was one bad thing. The people listening to the music on the grass felt both comfortable and uncomfortable. The sunset was setting too slowly and continued to bake everyone's left face. The helicopters and planes flying too low spread noise back and forth. Dad frowned the whole time."

When he said this, Star-Lord looked at Peter, who was sitting next to him and had taken him to the open-air concert last time.

“So your experience was not good?”

Mark continued to ask.

"maybe."

Star-Lord whispered to Mark, "But it was a rare experience for me."

An unforgettable experience with my father.

He added in his mind.

the other side.

Raven, sitting next to Peter, felt the atmosphere of the concert.

She had a vague feeling of uneasiness in her heart, as if something terrible was going to happen here.
