Chapter 9

Jessica put the mask on Gwen. "Brother went to the front to hold them off for a while to help us. They say people who study art are tone-deaf; I don't know if he can pull it off."

In front of the stage.

The young girls shouted excitedly, "Handsome, play another one!"

The boys also clapped vigorously, "That was absolutely amazing!!"

Ye Li made an "OK" gesture. "Thanks for the request, I'll bring you another song, 'To the End'!"

(To the End, the BGM from *Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse* when Spider-Gwen kicks Doctor Octopus.)

Just as the audience was anticipating, the curtain closed again!

Before they could react,

When it opened again—

Beside Ye Li were several girls holding various instruments, striking cool poses, surrounding him in the middle!

It was exactly Jessica Ye, Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant, Glory Grant, and other band members.

"My god, he has so much style!" Ned said excitedly.

"Li is still so impressive."

Peter picked up his camera and took a few shots, then asked confusedly, "Where's Gwen? I remember she's the band's drummer."

"Good evening, everyone."

As the organizer, Jessica stepped forward and said with a confident expression, "I know you're all looking forward to it, but before the performance, I have to announce something. This is also the most important thing about this party!"

Hearing her say this, someone heckled, "Jessica! Did you get a boyfriend?"

"Hey, shut up, you guy! Watch closely."

Jessica raised one hand and pointed coolly, and a large poster was lowered on the side of the stage.

"The thing I want to announce is—I’m starting a Ghost-Spider fan club! Everyone is welcome to join!"

"What? A Ghost-Spider fan club! That's so cool!"

"I didn't expect Jessica to be a Ghost-Spider fan too!"

"This is awesome!"

Most teenagers had no resistance to superheroes, let alone someone like Ghost-Spider, who had such a cool look and graceful posture.

This news was already a bombshell for them; the crowd below exploded instantly!

This was exactly the effect Jessica wanted. "So now, let the performance begin!"

Ye Li understood and took the lead in playing.

"It starts with one..."

"......It's so unreal"

"Didn't look out below"

After a few lines of lyrics.

The lights on stage suddenly converged, illuminating Ghost-Spider in front of the drum kit.

At the same time, a drum beat joined the performance, as if injecting a soul into the melody!

"Oh my god! Ghost-Spider——!!"

Screams erupted from below!

There was no helping it; Gwen, the real person, was cosplaying, and it was just too similar.

A smile bloomed on Gwen's face under the mask, and her heart was filled with an emotion; the bit of trouble caused by her father's disapproval also vanished. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====

After the performance.

Gwen walked to the front of the stage and took off her mask, lightly shaking her blonde hair.

"Thanks for watching~"

The entire audience instantly boiled over!

"So Gwen is Ghost-Spider!"

"Oh my god, my two goddesses are actually the same person!"

"Idiot, you're too into it; this is a performance. But Gwen's cosplay is really similar!"

"I used to like Jessica the most, but now I’ve switched to being a Gwen fan!"

"Isn't it Ghost-Spider you like the most?"

"I mean at school."

"You guys are too childish; only kids make choices!"

At the party banquet, it was bustling and noisy.

Ye Li and his group went to the dressing room, preparing to change out of their performance costumes.

"Li!"

Once inside the dressing room, Gwen threw herself into Ye Li's arms and took the initiative to offer a hot kiss!

"Oh~"

"Gwen is really affectionate~"

"Is it because you're too excited tonight~"

Several girls nearby teased them while changing their clothes.

They didn't mind changing in front of Ye Li.

They were still wearing their undergarments anyway, and the object of their attention was such an excellent and handsome man.

Ye Li exhaled hot air. "Gwen, you were truly dazzling tonight."

"All thanks to you~" Gwen stood on tiptoe and pressed against him again.

While responding, Ye Li didn't forget to help Gwen unzip the back of her cosplay outfit.

Gwen also helped him take off his clothes.

With mutual assistance, they quickly changed back into their regular clothes.

These two really know how to play... the girls felt a bit sticky watching them.

"Gwen, didn't you not want to wear it before? Why are you so excited?"

Jessica crossed her arms unhappily. "Even if you're happy now, I planned the party and the performance, okay? You should thank me."

"Hehe~" Gwen smiled and leaned close to her, also giving her a kiss. "Thanks to you too, Jessica, my good friend~"

"Hey, Gwen!"

Jessica wiped her face in feigned disgust. "Even though I have female fans, I’m straight!"

Mary Jane covered her mouth and chuckled on the side. "Jessica, so what are you planning to do with the club next?"

"The next step for the club is to recruit members. Hmm, this heavy responsibility will be left to..."

Jessica thought for a moment and said, "Left to the vice president!"

"Who is the vice president?" Ye Li, who was busy cuddling, asked casually.

Jessica narrowed her eyes. "Brother, stop messing with Gwen! The vice president is you!"

"Ah?"

"Ah what? You're the only one who's the most free, brother."

The next day.

Ghost-Spider Fan Club, member registration desk.

Ye Li leaned lazily against his chair and asked, "Na~me?"

"Uh..."

The chubby boy holding his schoolbag said nervously, "Ned, Ned Leeds."

Peter, standing next to him, suggested hesitantly, "Um... Li, we aren't prisoners."

The implication was—could you have a better attitude?

"Ah? What's wrong, Peter?"

Ye Li raised his eyelids, still looking half-dead. "I'm not a superhero either."

"Ah——~"

He said, yawning, and continued, "A~ge?"

Peter: "......." ===== CHAPTER 23 =====

Ned: "......."

The best friend duo ultimately ignored Ye Li's terrible attitude and became members of the Ghost-Spider Fan Club.

"Alright, next."

Ye Li tapped the table.

A mixed-race beauty behind them stepped forward, sat down, and greeted, "Hi~ handsome."

Ye Li didn't even lift his eyes, so naturally, he didn't see her clearly. He said casually, "Name."

"Handsome, I saw your performance at the party; it was great~"

"Oh——"

"Name."

Skye: "......."
