Chapter 21 The Mistake of Spider's Ability

At Gwen's repeated insistence, Yang Le had no choice but to agree to her request to help in the kitchen.

However, it was a very simple dish after all, and did not require many steps. Yang Le basically took care of it, and Gwen just had to pass the seasonings on the side.

"Okay, now all we have to do is wait." Yang Le covered the pot and pressed the kitchen timer.

"Can we have bread as a staple food?" Yang Le took out a brown paper bag from another shopping bag, which contained bread bought from the bakery.

Gwen gave an OK sign and took out a basket from the cupboard, ready to put the bread in it.

Seeing this, Yang Le handed the task of packing the bread to her, and he took out four sets of tableware from the cupboard to prepare the dishes.

Yang Le turned around and found that Gwen was holding a loaf of bread in her right hand and shaking it constantly, but there was no bread in the basket in front of her.

"Help me, Happy." Gwen called out to Yang Le for help. "This bread seems to be stuck to my hand."

Yang Le understood that this was Gwen's Spider-Man ability gradually beginning to emerge. Before it was spider physical strength, and now it was suction ability.

"OK, relax, I'll help you." Yang Le stretched out his hand to signal Gwen not to move, then walked over to help her take the bread off her hand.

"Is there glue on this bread?" Gwen complained while extending her right hand in front of Yang Le.

"Of course there is no water on this bread. Is there a possibility that the problem is with your hand?" Yang Le pulled the bread off with force, but a layer of bread still remained in Gwen's hand.

"What's wrong with my hands? Would I put glue on my hands and make things difficult for myself?" Gwen glared at Yang Le and said angrily.

"Gwen, don't you notice that you're not quite right today?"

"What's wrong? I feel like I'm doing fine now."

What Gwen said was true. Ever since she woke up, she felt like she had endless energy, her body was lighter, and she could see things more clearly. She even found that her abs were more perfect when she changed clothes just now.

"That's why something is wrong." Yang Le looked at the bread stuck on Gwen's hand and had no choice but to take her to the sink and prepare to rinse the bread off her hand with water.

"Just now, you accurately caught the ingredients thrown by Mary Jane, and now your hand is stuck to the bread. Think carefully about what has turned you into this state?"

Faced with Yang Le's question, Gwen fell silent. In fact, she also discovered that something was wrong with her. As for the reason, she might also know. The reason why she pretended that everything was normal was because she was worried that Yang Le would regard her as an alien.

"You swear you won't hate me." Gwen lowered her head so that Yang Le couldn't see her expression, but from her tone Yang Le could tell that the girl was very worried.

"I swear Gwen, there's no way I could ever hate you no matter what happens."

Yang Le bent down and put his hand on Gwen's shoulder, making a firm promise.

Gwen raised her head and looked into Yang Le's eyes, only to see her own determination and anxiety in them.

She had heard people say more than once that the eyes are the windows to the soul and that one can tell whether a person is lying by looking at the eyes. She didn't quite believe it at first, but now she believes it a little.

"I was actually bitten by that spider..." Gwen kept looking straight into Yang Le's eyes. She was afraid to see any hesitation in them.

"It's the 65B we saw. Maybe someone pushed the display cabinet when it was escaping, causing it to run out. Then for some reason, the spider ran onto me and bit me." Gwen said as she stretched out her left hand hidden under her sleeve. Yang Le took a closer look and found that there was indeed a small red mark at the base of the thumb, which was very conspicuous on the white hand.

"I won't turn into a monster, will I?" Gwen's voice even had a hint of tears in it, and her watery eyes were misty. She looked at Yang Le with aggrieved look, which made Yang Le feel distressed.

"It's okay, Gwen." Yang Le hugged Gwen in his arms. Although he knew that Gwen Spider would not turn into a spider demon, he still couldn't help but comfort Gwen who was in tears.

"Don't worry, I will help you, trust me, okay?"

"Yeah." Gwen buried her head in Yang Le's chest and replied muffledly, and then did not move. Yang Le just thought she was trying to calm down and let her bury her head.

"Uh, it's about time to let Gwen go." Yang Le glanced at the timer and found that half of the time had passed, so he couldn't help but remind her.

"No fun." Gwen rolled her eyes and prepared to leave Yang Le's arms, but she found that her left hand, which had been placed on Yang Le's right breast due to her posture, could not be removed.

"What's wrong, Gwen?" Yang Le looked at Gwen who didn't understand after moving a little, and felt something was wrong in his heart. Sure enough, Gwen's next answer made him feel uneasy.

"I can't...take it off." Gwen left his arms and looked at his left hand stuck on Yang Le's clothes. She felt angry and was about to pull it off.

"It's okay, relax Gwen." Yang Le quickly interrupted Gwen's pulling and tugging. If it was torn, not to mention whether there was a replacement, if people outside saw it, they would definitely think something wrong.

"This is an ability you have. You have to learn to control it. Now relax and think about taking your hands off my clothes."

"I was just thinking about it, but it's no use."

"That's because you're not concentrating enough." Yang Le lowered his voice, trying to sound gentle. "Relax, just think of it as walking. It's just a normal physiological function. Don't reject it."

With Yang Le's comfort, Gwen closed her eyes, slowly relaxed, and began to try to take her hands away from Yang Le's clothes. Gradually, she felt that the amount of fabric her hands were touching was decreasing, and she was about to succeed.

"Hi! How was dinner, you two?"

Mary Jane's voice suddenly rang out. Gwen, who was concentrating on her left hand, was startled and lost control of her suction ability. Her left hand was firmly attached to Yang Le's clothes again.

Not only that, Gwen, who was afraid of being discovered, wanted to retract her left hand in a hurry, and with the help of her super strength and suction ability, she directly tore off Yang Le's clothes.

"Oh, can't it be worse?" Gwen thought gloomily as she looked at Yang Le's muscular chest.

"I heard that it's Hobby who's cooking today. I'm looking forward to it." The voice coming from outside the kitchen was extremely familiar. The person who was usually the closest to Gwen sounded like the death knell of hell to her.

"What's wrong, Mary Jane?" George asked curiously as he looked at Mary Jane standing at the kitchen door in a daze.

"It can't be that Habbit blew up the kitchen..." George fell silent as he looked at the scene in front of him, his face gradually becoming frighteningly dark.

“Actually, I can explain…”

"Get out of here right now!"

George's angry roar interrupted Yang Le's explanation.
