American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 14-Awakening
Living with Tomie is actually not bad, except that seeing Tomie's real self from time to time makes your sanity drop a little bit, especially now that Tomie hasn't caught up with Xiao Xian. Her character is that of a sensible girl who takes the initiative to do housework.

At the beginning, Xiao Xian was quite restrained. After all, the real body he saw from time to time reminded Xiao Xian that this was not the beautiful girl she appeared to be, but a monster in human skin.

But after staying together for a long time, Xiao Xian realized that he was immortal anyway, especially the piece of flesh and blood in the bottle might have already drifted to Indonesia. Actually, Tomie couldn't kill him even if she wanted to. So Xiao Xian relaxed and just treated it as if he had a free nanny in his house.

Anyway, now that the money is in hand, Xiao Xian is too lazy to pretend to be a gentleman. Besides, Tomie herself doesn't seem to mind Xiao Xian's bad attitude towards her.

Although it may seem like he is a bit of a scumbag, it is not a big problem. He is a scumbag, but he is still better than a bootlicker or a warm-hearted man.

"Xiao Xian, accompany me to the mall this afternoon." Looking at Xiao Xian who was interacting passionately with people online with his mobile phone, Tomie, who was holding a mop, suggested.

"Okay, but I have to use my money for business. If you want to buy things, you have to pay for them yourself." Xiao Xian thought for a while and nodded, taking Tomie out for a walk. It seemed that he could attract a lot of hatred and this was also what he agreed to at the beginning.

"Of course. If you like something, I will buy it for you." Fu Jiang said with a smile on her face. There is no man in this world that she cannot win, and Xiao Xian is no exception.

He actually acted as if it was a matter of course and asked her to do these housework. Fu Jiang gritted her teeth and knew that she would soon take down Xiao Xian and make him pay double. By then, not to mention housework, she would even have to ask Xiao Xian to help her change socks and put on shoes like a servant.

However, these days of working hard, taking the initiative to do housework, and pretending to be virtuous were not without rewards. After Fu Jiang's observation, Xiao Xian's attitude towards her in the past few days had obviously changed from being defensive and cautious at the beginning to being casual and accustomed now.

Although it is still a long way from liking someone, this is also a big breakthrough. Letting down one's guard is the first step towards Xiao Xian's fall!
"Are the clothes dry? I want to wear that black jacket when I go out," Xiao Xian was lying on the sofa with his feet up, concentrating on the phone and having a heated conversation with someone, and asked as a matter of course. If Tomie likes to pretend, let her do it. It happens that Xiao Xian doesn't really like to do housework like washing clothes and mopping the floor.

"It's dry. I even ironed one side of it." Tomie replied with a smile.

"Okay, help me get the clothes. We'll set off after I scold this guy for being autistic." Xiao Xian was not shy and gave the orders directly. He knew why Deadpool let himself go so easily. It did make him feel safer to realize that he was not likely to die.

"Okay~" With her eyes slightly narrowed, Tomie put on a kind smile, walked to the balcony, took out her mobile phone, edited a message and sent it out, then picked up her coat. Just as she was about to return to the living room, she heard a young boy's voice coming from the balcony of the neighbor's house next door.

"Hello~ Are you the new neighbor?" Peter looked at Tomie, ignoring the phone next to his ear, and said with a stutter, "I thought it was a man."

"Yes~ Hello, you are the neighbor who lives next door, right? You are talking about Xiao Xian, right? He was indeed the one who rented this house in the beginning. He and I have only been renting it together these past two days. Also, your cell phone is ringing, don't you just answer it?"

Tomie looked at Peter, who was stuttering, and said with a smile on her face, if she had met Xiao Xian before, she wouldn't mind playing with this innocent boy if she had time, but now was the critical moment to hunt Xiao Xian. Tomie was not interested in playing with Peter, otherwise, if she was discovered by Xiao Xian, her efforts these days would be in vain.

She had been with Xiao Xian for the past few days, but he not only had no interest in her, but also looked a bit disgusted, which made her a little insecure. Peter's reaction made her very satisfied, which showed that there was no problem with her charm, but Xiao Xian's will was too firm.

But it is precisely this kind of determination and challenge that makes it interesting. People like Peter, who can be won with just a flick of the finger, are really average.

"It's okay, it's just a harassing call, an annoying insurance company. By the way, my name is Peter, Peter Parker." Looking at Tomie's face that was bringing disaster to the country and the people, Peter hung up the phone and introduced himself blankly.

"Tomie Kawakami, let's talk again." Holding Xiao Xian's coat, Tomie saw Xiao Xian put away his phone in the living room and immediately walked in. "Let's talk again." Tomie had already gone in halfway through her words. Peter stared blankly at the empty balcony next door for a long time until the phone rang again and woke him up.

As soon as the call was connected, it was Mary Jane's questioning voice.

"Peter? Did you just hang up on me?!"

"Sorry, Mary Jane, I just had something to do." Years of habit made Peter apologize subconsciously, but then he suddenly felt that he was too humble and shut his mouth. He was no longer the bullied nerd, but Spider-Man - Peter Parker!
More importantly, before meeting Tomie, Mary Jane was the one and only goddess in Peter's heart, but now after seeing Tomie, Peter suddenly felt that Mary Jane was just averagely pretty, and the real goddess was still Tomie.

In her every smile, gesture and movement, the charm exuded by Tomie is incomparable to that of a little girl like Mary Jane.

"Hmm? And then? If you don't apologize properly, I won't go to the mall with you today."

For the sake of the dress and shoes, Mary Jane took the initiative to give Peter a way out, at least in her opinion, this was a way out. In the past, even if Peter begged her humbly, she would have left him alone for a few days.

"Sorry? Didn't I go to the mall to buy you a gift? Why do you sound like you're giving me alms?"

Once the disenchantment effect occurs, there is no going back. In an instant, in Peter's mind, Mary Jane changed from the white moonlight goddess to that woman. Without the halo blessing, Peter immediately discovered the fact that he had actively ignored, and turned to questioning tone.

A dog licker may not necessarily be in love deeply, he may just be simply lustful and unwilling to give up.

In the final analysis, Mary Jane and Peter never had any good memories together. Peter was always servile and flattering Mary Jane, and Mary Jane was not in a good mood. In this case, how could Peter love Mary Jane? Did he like Mary Jane's character or personality? Peter is not a McDonald's fan.

Before, Mary Jane was Peter’s dream, but now compared with Tomie, Mary Jane is nothing, so Peter’s dream is over, and his new dream is Miss Tomie.

"What are you talking about?" Mary Jane could hardly believe her ears. Was this Peter Parker talking to her? Was he sure it wasn't Peter's friend using a cell phone and voice-changing software to play a prank on her?

"I say, if you don't want to go, forget it. Am I going to beg you to buy a gift? You can go if you want. For the sake of our past, I can buy you a dress and shoes, but you can't treat me like this, Mary Jane."

Peter spoke bluntly into the phone, and suddenly he felt like he had finally stood up. All his efforts over the years now seemed like a joke.

Of course Mary Jane was willing to talk to him, and Peter was willing to do so, after all, she was his former white moonlight. Besides, talking to Mary Jane would not prevent him from finding ways to pursue Tomie.

But even if they talked, Peter would never allow himself to be as humble as before.
