American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 12 The education I received since childhood does not support me doing this kind of thing
Sitting on the bed, Peter opened his phone and saw several unread messages. One was from Aunt May asking if he had returned home, one was from his good friend Ned asking if he wanted to go to the comic convention together, and one was from a country girl in the next class asking if he wanted to go stargazing together. Unfortunately, there was no message from the goddess Mary Jane.

"Who would watch the stars with you? If you want to watch them, go with Mary Jane."

Pursing his lips, Peter said a few perfunctory words to Aunt May and Ned, and chose not to reply to the message from the little country girl.

Then Peter cleared his throat, clicked on Mary Jane's profile picture, and sent a voice message.

"Are you free recently? Let's go to the Met together this weekend. I'll treat you. And do you like the necklace I bought for you last time?"

After waiting expectantly for more than half an hour, checking her phone repeatedly during that time, Mary Jane finally replied to Peter's message.

"Thank you for the gift, Peter, but I'm sorry, Harry has invited me and my sisters to attend a party at his luxurious villa this weekend. I've already promised him, so let's talk about the Metropolis later when we have a chance. You don't mind, do you? You are all very good friends of mine, and I don't want any gaps between us."

Peter put down his phone disappointedly, licked his lips, and said in a casual tone

"Of course~ It's okay. We are good friends. You promised Harry first and you can't go back on your word~ I understand you, Jane."

"Great, thank you, Peter! You are such a generous man." This time Mary Jane responded quickly, and she sent a second voice message soon after.

"Also, I've got my eyes on a pair of Valentino high heels. They're really pretty and perfect for a party dress, but I don't have enough money. Can you lend me some money to buy the shoes? I'll pay you back when I get my salary."

"It's just a pair of shoes. If you like them, I'll give them to you." Peter said generously without hesitation.

"Really? Thank you so much, Peter! I also have my eyes on a dress that would go really well with those shoes, but the price is."

"I'll buy them together~" Peter agreed immediately. Now that he was rich, he spent money on his goddess without blinking an eye. Unlike before, he lived frugally and even didn't want to eat breakfast to save enough money to buy his goddess the baby she liked.

"Ahhh! Peter you are so nice, I find that you are getting more and more handsome now! Mua!"

Mary Jane was very happy to hear that, she said that with the sexy dress and Valentino, she might be able to hook up with a rich man at the weekend, and maybe even get to know that celebrity or big director who could help her fulfill her dream of becoming a star!
That was a party organized by Harry Osborn! Many of the men who came were either rich or noble, not like Peter, a loser who had suddenly made a small fortune. They were the kind that could really help her achieve class advancement!
If Harry could catch her eye, maybe she could become the boss lady of a listed company in the future!

"Hello~ I brought you breakfast~ Do you want to eat together?"

Early in the morning, Tomie came and knocked on the door. Xiao Xian, who was sitting in front of the computer desk, heard the sound and turned off the video. After verification, it turned out that at least nothing happened to him after not sleeping for a whole night. He didn't feel tired at all, and his recovery ability was indeed greatly enhanced.

"You're really here~ Come in." Xiao Xian opened the door and saw the breakfast bread that Fu Jiang was carrying and said, "I won't eat it. I'm on a diet recently."

"I think your figure is just right, not fat at all." Tomie walked into Xiao Xian's house with a smile, twitched her nose, then looked at Xiao Xian with a half-smile and said, "Is it lonely living alone, brother? Have you ever thought about finding a girlfriend?" "No, a woman will only affect the speed at which I make money." Xiao Xian took out a newspaper with recruitment information and read it seriously. "If there is nothing else, Sister Tomie, you should go back."

Asking for money also requires strategy. If Xiao Xian asks for money directly, it would be a bit embarrassing, and it would be difficult to refuse Fu Jiang's request at that time. Otherwise, what if the other party asks for a refund? Uncle Da once taught that you have to force yourself to eat free food.

"Hey, brother, you haven't heard that if you meet a good man, you should first get married; if you meet a noble man, you should first build a career; if you meet a rich woman, you should get married and then build a career."

Tomie put the LV bag she carried with her on the table and looked at Xiao Xian, who was staring at the newspaper seriously and not even looking at her. If she hadn't smelled a familiar scent, she would almost doubt whether Xiao Xian had any such needs.

"Am I the kind of person who lives off women?" Xiao Xian glanced at Fu Jiang with a look of disdain, and snorted coldly, "A man has to fight for himself."

"Brother, you are very ambitious~" Tomie smiled lightly, and she couldn't suppress the smile at all. It was even more interesting to destroy such an ambitious and ideal boy. If Xiao Xian had a girl he loved deeply, she would be the perfect prey. Just thinking about it made her tremble.

"Of course, my ideal is to start my own company." Xiao Xian put down the newspaper and said seriously.
"Of course, starting a company requires a lot of money, so I need to work hard to earn money, save up the first pot of gold, and then start my own company. So can you please stop bothering me~ I need to work hard to find a job and make money, so I don't have time to be distracted by a relationship."

"Don't be so resistant to me. How long will it take to save up the money from odd jobs? I'll help you." Tomie stretched out her long legs in black stockings and used her high heels to push the newspaper away from Xiao Xian, saying, "Why don't I give you some start-up capital?"

"I can't take your money. We are not related at all."

Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows and said seriously that the scenery before him was of no concern to him. Of course, this was psychologically speaking. From a physical point of view, the scene before him could be said to be magnificent and grand.

"What's the big deal? I see you hit it off right away. I'm not short of money either. How much do you want?" Fu Jiang took out a checkbook, walked behind Xiao Xian, and said as her other hand brushed Xiao Xian's face.
"As long as you make me happy, you will get a lot of money. The Maybach downstairs is my gift to you."

Holding Tomie's hand that was touching his face and taking it away, Xiao Xian said seriously, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not the kind of person you think I am. The education I received since childhood does not support me doing such a thing."

"Sister likes men with backbone like you." Taking Xiao Xian's hand, Fu Jiang leaned close to Xiao Xian's ear and said, "As long as you nod, I can give you the money that ordinary people can't earn in their whole life, and I will also give you a beauty like me~"

"Stop talking. I won't take your money." It was an ambiguous posture, but Xiao Xian did not feel anything ambiguous. Instead, he felt like he was being targeted by a top predator. His intuition told Xiao Xian that it was better not to overdo it.

Xiao Xian vaguely remembered that in the comics, when Tomie faced a prey that was too resistant to her charm, she would stage a horrific killing show in front of him, and then try to take advantage of the prey's fright and the fluctuation of his psychological defenses.

"Of course, sister, if you really want to help me, then lend me some money as start-up capital. I will write you an IOU and pay you back with interest in two years. Also, you can let me go shopping with you, sing songs, and play games, but don't force feelings. I think this is something that needs to be cultivated."
