Chapter 90: Encountering Robbers

Thanks to Tian Yao Wu Er for the tip, and thanks to Meng Xing Qian Qiu for the evaluation ticket.

Ye Nan stayed in Peter's home for a while, chatted with the two elders, and from the elders' mouths, he learned that Peter had always had a crush on a female classmate in class, and there were two such female classmates, Jessica and Mary respectively.

He knew very well about Peter having a crush on Mary in the Spider-Man movie, and he also knew that because of the problem of responsibility on his shoulders, Peter eventually rejected Mary. But what he did not expect was that Peter actually wanted to step on two boats, and the other one was actually his own sister, Jessica.

"This Peter, it seems he is a playboy; absolutely cannot hand Jessica over to him." Ye Nan thought to himself, not even realizing that he was just looking for an excuse, because he did not want to hand his sister over to anyone.

After all, it can be seen from the original work that Peter is a man who loves his woman very much. Although he behaved very cowardly before, once his beloved person is in danger, he immediately produces courage, an absolutely standard good man who does not care about anything for the sake of a woman.

Soon, Ye Nan walked out of Peter's home because he had already realized that Peter had begun to mutate, and he needed to find a place to observe.

"Ye Nan." Mary stood at the door of Peter's house and suddenly saw Ye Nan walk out, feeling happy in her heart, and immediately shouted.

"Why would he appear in Peter's home? Could it be that his relationship with Peter is very good?"

"Mm! It's Mary. Why are you here?" Ye Nan was slightly lost, not expecting to see Mary here.

"My home is nearby. I originally planned to go out for a walk, but I didn't expect to run into you." Mary said softly, her face involuntarily turning red, like a ripe little apple.

"Going out for a walk?" Ye Nan looked at Mary ambiguously. Mary was clearly coming to Peter's home, but in her mouth, it turned into going out for a walk. Women are indeed animals good at lying.

"This..." Mary's fingers kept twisting each other at her waist, as if it were difficult to speak. After waiting for a full while, she mustered up the courage and said: "Can I invite you to accompany me for a walk?"

"I have something to go out for later." Ye Nan refused Mary without hesitation.

He still had to observe Spider-Man later, and the Nemesis would be transported over soon. By then, a great battle would inevitably happen here, and he did not want to miss this good opportunity.

"Can't you?" Mary lowered her head, full of disappointment, and was almost crying from grievance.

She had finally mustered up the courage to invite Ye Nan to accompany her for a walk, but was rejected. Her heart hurt vaguely.

Ye Nan looked at Mary, seeing the disappointment, grievance, crying, and other expressions mixed together on her face, and immediately felt embarrassed.

Honestly speaking, whether in his past life or this life, he could not treat a woman's crying as nothing. He had always believed that a man should be good to a woman and should protect a woman.

In his past life, he saw many people on the Internet talking about gender equality, and he dismissed it. If men and women could really be equal, then what would women be needed for? Women are born to lie in men's arms, enjoy men's love, and men's responsibility is to protect women.

"Alright, I will accompany you for a walk." Ye Nan finally wavered; he really could not bear to see a woman crying in front of him.

"Really?" Mary raised her head happily, with tears still flickering in her eyes.

Ye Nan smiled slightly: "Of course it's true."

"Thank you." Mary became happy. She did not expect that there would be a turn of events.

"Let's go."

The two strolled on the quiet street, speechless, neither knowing what to say, just walking, walking, for a full twenty minutes.

"This..." Mary hesitated, mustered up her courage again, and said: "When it was your birthday, I didn't give you a gift. I want to make up a birthday gift for you, but I don't know what you like."

"Me? Anything is fine." Ye Nan did not expect Mary to talk about this matter and was slightly stunned.

"How can that be." Mary said: "This is your birthday; I cannot give you things casually."

"Then you just give me a scarf; I happen to be missing a scarf." Ye Nan answered.

He had never had a scarf, just because he did not have the habit of wearing a scarf.

"Good." Mary lowered her head, her face burning red. She also did not know why she suddenly became like this. She only knew that seeing Ye Nan now made her heart beat faster and she involuntarily became shy.

"It's very late now; you should go back. In addition, I also have some things to deal with and cannot continue to accompany you shopping." Ye Nan paused and continued: "How about I send you back."

"Good." Mary was somewhat disappointed, but she also knew that this road had an end, and even if they continued walking, it would just be a waste of time.

But she had already taken the first step today; in the future, it might not be impossible to take the second step, the third step.

"Let's go, I'll send you back." Ye Nan hailed a car.

"Where to?" The driver in the car opened the window and looked at Ye Nan, with beads of cold sweat on his forehead, and his complexion was also somewhat pale, as if he had been sick with a major illness.

Ye Nan did not care about these, just said: "I'm going to 36 Queens."

Inside the taxi, it was somewhat dim, making Ye Nan somewhat uncomfortable. "Why don't you turn on the light?"

"Because I want him not to turn on the light." A gun suddenly pressed against Ye Nan's head, and a hand pulled him in. "Don't scream, otherwise I will shoot him dead."

Mary, who was about to scream, miraculously closed her mouth, and the fear in her heart also disappeared; all that remained was worry. "I won't scream, you must not shoot."

"Young man, it seems your girlfriend cares about you very much." The gunman said with a smile, the gun in his hand slowly moving to Ye Nan's cervical spine. "You come in too. When we reach the destination, I will naturally let you go."

Mary nodded repeatedly, walked in herself, and sat beside Ye Nan. "Don't be afraid, as long as we do as he says, he won't kill us."

Mary said this, and there was a reason for it. In the United States, encountering a robbery, usually one would not resist, because as long as you cooperate well, those robbers would not shoot and kill. After all, killing and robbing are two different crimes, and robbers would not kill indiscriminately. Of course, if you resist, accidents will always happen.

This is also why Americans are always very cooperative when encountering robbers, because they all know that money is just an external object, and life is the most precious. ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
