the next day.

That is, June 12, 2013.

This day is Wednesday.

It is also the day of the 12th grade graduation ceremony at Midtown High School.

At this moment, many parents have already arrived at the school lawn near the East River.

Before the ceremony started, parents were taking photos with their children to commemorate the occasion.

Hawke and Gwen were no exception.

The two were dressed in graduation gowns and caps, and under Helen Stacy's direction, they posed in various ways to amuse Helen.

Hawke and Gwen stood under a tree, holding hands and looking at each other.

Gwen gave an apologetic smile.

"Feel sorry."

"What are you apologizing for?"

"My mom is so enthusiastic."

"I think it's pretty good."

Hawke smiled and glanced at Helen, who was looking for the best angle to take a picture not far away.

Helen looked intently at the two people in the camera lens, then seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she looked up at Hawke.

"Hawk."

"exist."

"When I count to three, you kiss me."

"it is good."

Hawke readily complied. Looking at his smiling girlfriend, he kissed her without hesitation when Helen counted to three.

Gwen also went to greet them.

Click!
Helen transformed into a professional photographer, constantly pressing the shutter to capture this symbolic moment of beauty.

after awhile.

Helen, sitting in a spectator seat, flipped through the photos she had just taken with her camera, her smile impossible to hide.

Fortunately, George has a case today and can't come.

otherwise……

George's expression certainly wasn't going to be pleasant.

Gwen, sitting in the front row, turned to look at her mother Helen, who was still admiring the photos. Her lips twitched, and she whispered to Hawke next to her, "Don't come upstairs to my house tonight."

Hawke was slightly stunned.

"why?"

“I’m afraid that if Dad sees these photos, he’ll pull out a gun and shoot you.”

"..."

Hawk blinked and glanced at Helen, who was still engrossed in taking photos. Thinking about the various photos that the two of them had just taken under Helen's direction, photos that would make the doting father George lose his composure, he thought for a moment and nodded to Gwen, saying, "That makes sense. I'll wait for you downstairs then."

Tonight, they've arranged to meet Mary and Peter at a newly opened restaurant near Times Square to celebrate their graduation.

Mary, sitting next to Gwen, said expressionlessly, "At least you have photos. I don't think you have any."

Gwen heard her best friend's somewhat resentful voice beside her, turned her head and looked at her, as if she had thought of something.

"Has Peter not arrived yet?"

"No."

"What is he doing?"

"I don't know, I don't understand, and I don't want to know. All I know is that if he doesn't come in ten minutes, he will be my ex-boyfriend."

"..."

Gwen listened to her best friend's resentment that she could support the evil sword immortal, opened her mouth, and then quickly looked at Hawke, giving him a wink.

Hawke understood, took out his phone, and called Peter directly.

after awhile.

The moment the call was answered, the urgent siren blared.

obviously.

As a well-known good neighbor in New York City, Spider-Man is either fighting crime or on his way to fight crime.

Amidst the urgent sirens and howling wind, Peter's voice came through the phone.

Hello?

"Stop hello, if you're not here in ten minutes, Mary will break up with you."

Hawke spoke concisely and simply, then hung up the phone and nodded to Gwen to indicate that he had delivered the message.

Nine minutes later.

Hawke, who was watching Gwen Stacy, the recipient of this year's New York City Outstanding High School Student Award and a representative of this year's Midtown High School Outstanding Graduates, glanced at the temporary restroom not far from the stage and raised an eyebrow.

Peter crouched low and quickly walked to the seat next to Mary. He pulled his graduation cap over his head while dodging Mary's resentful attacks, and explained himself to her.

Mary was a person of her word, so since it hadn't been ten minutes yet, she didn't break up with Peter. Instead, she continued to vent her anger on him.

Hawke sat in his seat, looking at his girlfriend Gwen on stage, who was speaking eloquently with a confident smile.

A smile appeared on both of their faces simultaneously.

At night.

Gwen walked out of the apartment building, saw the Audi A8 parked across the street, smiled, crossed the street, opened the passenger door, and got in.

Hawke then started the car and walked toward Times Square, glancing curiously at Gwen.

"How does George look?"

"It's not ugly."

Gwen gave Hawke a serious look, then smiled and said, "It was absolutely awful. He even asked you when you were coming up. Thank goodness you didn't."

Hawke looked at Gwen's bright smile but didn't laugh.

His tone was faint.

“Gwen, have you ever thought that you can’t hide forever? I can’t just stop coming here from now on, can I?”

"Uh……"

Gwen's smile froze as she looked at Hawke.

"Then what should we do? Turn around and go back."

"never mind."

Hawke shook his head: "I believe in the wisdom of future generations."

Gwen blinked.

"What's the meaning."

"Leave the future to Hawke to worry about."

“...Hawk”.

"Ah."

Gwen looked at Hawke with a serious expression: "If Hawke remembers what happened today in the future, he will definitely call the former Hawke an asshole."

Hawke shrugged. "Whatever, let him yell at me. Besides, he can't travel back in time to beat me up, can he?" Gwen smiled and shook her head, then changed the subject.

“Mary and Peter, have they arrived?”

"arrive."

"That's good. That restaurant is very popular. Let them reserve a table first so we don't have to wait in line when we get there."

"I already said that."

Hawke answered.

half an hour.

A French restaurant located right next to the Hudson River.

Hawke parked the car on the side of the road and followed Gwen out of the car. Mary, who was sitting at the outdoor table in the restaurant, called out to Gwen and waved.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly walked over.

Hawke pulled out a seat and waited for Gwen to sit down before sitting next to her. He looked at Peter curiously and asked, "How late did you guys finish taking photos at school?"

Peter didn't give a specific time, but looked at Hawke and replied, "I feel like my legs aren't mine anymore."

Hawke laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Mary rolled her eyes: "I told you yesterday that today is graduation day and we're going to take pictures."

Peter chuckled awkwardly.

Seeing this, Gwen shook her head helplessly, changed the subject, and started talking to Mary about their summer vacation plans.

Mary's eyes lit up immediately. She looked at Gwen and made a suggestion.

"How about we travel abroad?"

"Abroad, where?"

"London? How about it?"

Mary was full of anticipation.

“I actually wanted to go to Paris, but let’s go to London first and then Paris next year, okay, Gwen?”

"I'm fine."

Gwen said, then looked at Hawke beside her: "Are you going?"

Hawke didn't speak, he just smiled at Gwen.

Gwen smiled slightly, glancing past Hawke, and looked at Peter: "Peter, what about you?"

Peter opened his mouth.

Go to London...

Round-trip airfare seems quite expensive.

He was quickly estimating the cost of the trip to London, wondering if his savings would be enough...

While Peter was still thinking about it.

Hawke has already answered for Peter.

"He'll go."

"..."

Peter paused for a moment, looking at Hawke sitting opposite him.

"I go?"

"You go!"

Hawke glanced at Peter, then nodded to Gwen to confirm, "Yes, he's going."

Gwen smiled as she looked at Peter.

"Peter?"

"Ok."

Peter gave up on estimating; at worst, he'd max out his credit card. He nodded and said, "I'll go."

Upon hearing this, Gwen exchanged a glance with Mary.

next second.

The two women had already taken out their phones and started searching online for flight tickets and accommodation information to London.

By the time they had dinner, Gwen and Mary had almost finished planning their summer trip to London.

After all, Gwen was a student assistant, and her execution skills were always known for their high efficiency.

As for Mary...

Let's not talk about Mary.

After finishing their dinner, the two women did not leave immediately. Instead, they walked ahead, intending to digest their food and stroll around Times Square.

Hawke and Peter walked behind.

He glanced at Peter, who seemed somewhat distracted after the two women estimated the cost of their trip to London, and said with a smile, "I'll cover your expenses."

Upon hearing this, Peter glanced at Hawke and then shook his head.

"No need, I'll figure something out."

"What's your plan? Sell more selfies?"

"Uh……"

Peter scratched his head: "We've taken too many photos this year, and the newspapers are already offering very low prices."

Hawke shook his head speechlessly: "Didn't you ever think about switching newspapers? Why do you have to fight the Daily Bugle to the death?"

Peter was speechless.

"The problem is that, apart from the Daily Bugle, other tabloids are offering lower prices."

"……All right."

Hawke fell silent, then said to Peter, "Keep the money you earned from selling yourself. I'll cover your expenses. Anyway, my money didn't come from selling myself."

Peter was a little curious.

"Then where did you get your money?"

"It was blown in by the strong wind."

Hawke said with a smile.

Again.

Of the three versions of Spider-Man, his favorite is the Spider-Woman in front of him.

The Amazing Spider-Man is next.

That talkative Spider-Man...

Let's not talk about Spider-Man from League of Legends.

Peter opened his mouth, looked at Hawke, and was about to say something when a loud bang came from Times Square in front of him.

Amidst the cacophony of noise, a silvery-white arc of electricity ripped through the sky and shot onto the Times Square screen with a soft "whoosh."

The large screen fell down with a crash.
