Chapter 65: Marvel: Awakening the Little Universe at the Start, Chapter 31

Everything was silent.

Only the sound of "Hawk" coming from behind made Hawk, who was shirtless with his chest rising and falling slightly, tremble all over.

Hawk instinctively turned his head to look.

In his sight.

He saw Gwen, who had walked out of the forest not far away, wearing a windbreaker; although her blonde hair was messy and she was covered in sweat, the blue eyes looking at him were full of surprise.

"Gwen?"

Hawk was instantly stunned in place.

He found it somewhat hard to believe.

Good grief.

He never would have imagined that the first person to come here and find him was not the Quantico military, but Gwen.

But...

How could this be possible?

Hawk felt a bit disoriented.

And at this very moment, the frozen time seemed to restart.

Boom—!

The waterfall that had been flowing backward also recovered at this moment, though the sound of the falling water was much quieter than before.

It seemed the waterfall was afraid that if its sound were too loud, it would lead to an unprovoked disaster.

After all, Hawk could truly make it flow backward.

At the same time.

Upon seeing Hawk standing beneath the waterfall, Gwen had already started running.

Although she didn't understand why she was running when she had already seen Hawk.

But she just wanted to run.

In the blink of an eye, Gwen jumped to the pool beneath the waterfall and waded over to stand before Hawk.

The next second.

She hugged Hawk tightly.

Hawk instinctively pulled Gwen into his arms, using his back to protect her from the impact of the waterfall's water.

Just then.

He also reacted, and with a 'whoosh', his figure vanished from the pool; when he appeared again, he was already on the bank beside the waterfall pool, holding Gwen.

White mist billowed like wolf smoke from Hawk and Gwen, who had just been soaked by the waterfall water in his arms.

In just the blink of an eye.

Under the surging power of Hawk's potent Qi and blood, the wet Hawk and Gwen from a second ago were now dry, having shed all moisture.

After doing this, Hawk lowered his gaze to look at Gwen, who was clinging tightly to him in his arms.

He opened his mouth, intending to ask curiously how Gwen had found him when even the Quantico military couldn't.

But...

Hawk looked at Gwen, who had closed her eyes in his arms and was even emitting faint snoring sounds; he opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and didn't speak, instead sitting down right there and placing Gwen in his lap.

He didn't speak, but lowered his gaze to watch the sleeping Gwen, looking at the messy blonde hair on her face; he reached out his right hand, paused slightly in the air, then recovered and tidied up the messy blonde hair beside her face.

About half an hour later.

Gwen slowly opened her eyes; because she had slept very soundly, she thought she had woken up in bed and instinctively stretched.

The next second.

She saw Hawk, who was looking down at her.

Their eyes met.

Gwen blinked instinctively.

Hawk smiled slightly.

"Hello."

"Holy shit!"

Accompanied by an exclamation, Gwen rose from Hawk's arms with a 'swoosh', and her originally pale face added a hint of pink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Hawk also stood up from the ground.

The moment he stood up, his limbs emitted a comfortable stretching sound, having finally been able to move after staying motionless for fear of waking Gwen.

Gwen also withdrew her gaze from observing the surrounding environment and refocused her eyes on Hawk, who was wearing only a pair of shorts.

The Hawk before her had a physique like an ancient Greek sculpture, and the pair of sword-like eyebrows above his deep blue eyes displayed an unbridled air.

The sword-like eyebrows were still the same pair.

The difference was, if the previous Hawk's eyebrows were like they were hidden in a scabbard, then the current Hawk's eyebrows were like a sharp, unbridled sword drawn from its sheath.

Gwen was instantly mesmerized.

The next second.

She reacted, looked at Hawk, seemed to think of something, and a beautiful smile curled at the corners of her mouth.

"Library, reading, huh."

"..."

Hawk raised a sword-like eyebrow, catching the hint of resentment hidden beneath Gwen's teasing, and thought for a moment: "Sorry."

Gwen smiled.

If Hawk had heard the hint of resentment in her teasing just now, then Gwen also heard something else in Hawk's apology.

For example, the old Hawk had also said sorry to her.

But she could feel that the old Hawk's apology was just an apology for the sake of apologizing.

But this one now?

Gwen's mouth curled slightly upward, and her small hand reached out toward Hawk.

Hawk was slightly stunned.

Gwen said: "Give me your phone, why didn't you answer my calls?"

Hawk reacted, walked to the side, took out the phone he had placed on top of his folded T-shirt, and handed it to Gwen: "I've been here for over twenty days; it ran out of power long ago."

Gwen was slightly stunned upon hearing this and took the phone.

Sure enough.

The phone wouldn't turn on.

But...

Gwen blinked, seemed to think of something, grabbed Hawk's phone with one hand, took out her own phone with the other, and clicked the link in the previous text message.

The link had expired.

Gwen was dumbfounded looking at the link on the screen that had been there just moments ago but was now invalid.

At this moment, Hawk finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask.

"By the way, Gwen, how did you know I was here?"

"..."

Gwen came back to her senses, nonchalantly tucked her phone back into her pocket, then handed Hawk's phone back to him, a smile appearing on her face: "My dad is a police captain, Hawk; as long as I want to, no matter where you are, I can find you."

Hawk blinked.

These words...

He would only believe them if he were crazy.

But looking at Gwen, whose pale face had turned pink again after saying this, Hawk thought for a moment, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, and he nodded.

Forget it.

If he had been very curious about how Gwen found him when he first saw her, he was no longer curious at all now.

Yeah.

He stopped being curious just now when Gwen was sleeping in his arms.

Perhaps it was just as Gwen said.

She was the police captain's daughter; as long as she wanted to, she could find where he was.

That was what Gwen said.

Hawk chose to believe this setting.
