American Comics: The Girl Next Door is Spider-Gwen

The morning light filtered through the curtains, illuminating two faces on the wall, as beautiful as a painting.

The girl's eyes were filled with springtime emotion, her fair face and dewy pink lips distinctly outlined.

Her long eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes.

She remembered something.

Gwen's heart was sweetly joyful, mixed with excitement and thrill.

Li really isn't an ordinary person.

Why does her waist ache... and her legs feel numb...

"Li."

Gwen softly called to Ye Li, "Good morning~"

Hearing the soft greeting.

Ye Li opened his sleepy eyes.

What happened?

Oh, right.....

He had been exhausted all night, fighting supervillains first, and then having to wrestle with superheroes at home....

What a tough life~

Gwen's fragrant tongue lightly brushed her lips as she mischievously smiled, "You're full of energy this morning~"

Ye Li reached out to ruffle her hair, "Because Gwen is just too cute."

"Mhm!"

The little Spider Girl squinted her eyes contentedly as he stroked her, her smile turning into one filled with warm affection, "Li, from today onwards, I'm completely yours. Are you happy~"

Yesterday, when Ye Li was in "danger," she had been a little flustered and made the decision to take this step herself.

Hmm... to be precise, it was more than just one step, with quite a few new "moves" unlocked....

....

[Hill, what do you want to ask me?]

Barbara sipped her milk tea at her temporary residence while contacting Hill.

[Yes, I've already figured it out.]

[The Ghost Spider Club isn't just a fan club; they even have a dedicated training ground for superheroes.]

[It's confirmed that Ghost Spider has joined this club. She's always acting alongside the female knight, Jessica.]

[As for last night... oh... it's being called Hero Night online. Not only did Ghost Spider and the female knight participate, but Skye also provided information support with her hacking skills.]

Barbara thought for a moment and added: [And that Ye Li, I think there's something unusual about him too. He might have a mind-reading ability.]

Hill: [It's confirmed that this club is a civilian hero organization. I'll have it recorded in the files.]

[As for Ye Li, the one you think can read minds, I guess it's because of this...]

As Hill spoke, she sent Barbara a piece of information.

Barbara opened it and saw a record of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s external systems being hacked, which happened to include her name.

Although it was just a name without a photo, it was enough to confirm some things.

Barbara: [Oh my God, those guys really are useless.]

[Hill, I think we should tighten our defenses. Otherwise, you know how many agents this sieve-like firewall could endanger.]

She somewhat regretted the inexplicable urge to tell Ye Li her real name, though it seemed like he already knew...

Barbara: [I still think there's something strange about Ye Li.]

Hill: [Then keep investigating. As for your complaints about the IT department, I'll report them to Fury.

Don't worry, they're not as incompetent as you think.

Through counter-intrusion, they've already found out that Skye joined a hacker group called Rising Tide.

Her technical skills have improved rapidly, proving that we weren't wrong in identifying her as having strong agent potential.]

[Also, our director has a special plan to recruit outstanding superheroes.

The female knight and her team performed well last night and can be listed as potential observation targets.

Stay in the Ghost Spider Club. Your presence might be needed when the time comes.]

...

Click.

The bathroom door opened, and a puff of steam emerged.

A small, rounded foot with droplets of water stepped out, followed by smooth, fair ankles. Jessica, wrapped in a towel, walked out.

She had been completely worn out yesterday, so tired that she fell asleep without even taking a shower. She made up for it with a refreshing hot bath after waking up.

[Morning news: The terrifying Electro broke out of Oscorp Tower, causing numerous casualties... The public questions whether the frequently terror-stricken Oscorp Group should continue to exist.]

[Black Spider and a mysterious armored figure joined forces to resolve the disaster. We're already familiar with Black Spider, but could this person in the red and gold suit be a new superhero? ... Enthusiastic netizens have named the mysterious armored figure "Iron Man."]

[Electro, Lizard, the Black Monster, and the reappearance of Green Goblin... Supervillain incidents are on the rise. The NYPD shared details about their efforts last night...]

[Meanwhile, Black Spider, Iron Man, Ghost Spider, and the Female Knight worked together to avert multiple crises last night. Fans of these heroes have joined forces to call last night the "Hero Night."]

"Seriously, brother, you didn't even turn off the TV."

Jessica, towel-drying her damp hair, walked over and turned off the playing TV.

But as soon as the TV was turned off, she heard a creaking sound... and Gwen?

Jessica sneakily followed the sound to the door of Ye Li's room.

Gwen was entirely unaware of Jessica's arrival; even her Spider-Sense didn't pick up on it.

She played with the golden strands of her hair by her forehead, curling her toes.

It was reminiscent of a Latin dance move...

...

The clock ticked past another hour.

Jessica couldn't help but whisper a reminder, "Gwen, your family should be waking up soon. You'd better head back..."

"It's fine..."

Gwen hooked her hair behind her ear with her pinky, a smile spreading across her face, "Climbing out of Li's window leads straight to my room. I'll wait a little longer~"

After another ten minutes passed.

Smooch~

At this moment, Gwen felt it was about time and said goodbye to Ye Li, "Li~ I'm going back now."

"Alright."

Ye Li replied lazily, "Have your mom make you some more good food to recharge, Little Spider. Your combat skills still need improvement~"

Gwen stuck out her tongue and made a face, "I can't beat you anyway, so go find someone else~"
