Shiler placed a glass of wine in front of Loki and said: "Prometheus should be more familiar with this kind of scene."

"You and Peter should have more to talk about. He just wanted to turn into a dinosaur." Stark wasn't that tactful and high-EQ. He directly satirized: "How many years did it take for humans to cover up courtship methods so they wouldn't look so barbaric? You all are good, returning to the tribal era."

"That's his fault too." Loki took a sip of wine and was stung until he gasped. He hissed and continued: "I had long since thought of a way to fob off Frigga, which was probably to say that I only admire the strong. But you all know, in the whole of Asgard, besides Thor who is already married, not many people can be called strong."

"Frigga doesn't approve of me marrying humans, so you all were excluded from the selection range. The remaining Asgardians are relatively traditional and their brains aren't very good. I only need to use a little means; no one can beat me, so Frigga has nothing to say."

"As a result, she wants to hold a martial arts tournament for you." Shiler sat back in his seat and, after thinking for a moment, said: "I'm serious, haven't you considered your own emotional problems?"

"I have no expectations for family relationships." Loki's answer was very real. He said: "You have to find a partner who is just right, spend a period of time that is just right, and have to give birth to a few children who are just right. Either it's a coincidence that all of this is just right, or you have to spend half your life managing it, so the love you get can barely overcome the annoyance brought by trivial troubles in daily life."

"If there aren't so many links that pin hope on luck, I might try it, but I think my luck isn't good enough, so forget it."

That was a bit too straightforward, so it sounded a bit harsh. Therefore, Stark said: "I thought it was first determining that the love you can get from the other party is more than the annoyance brought, before doing those things."

"But without having experienced it, how can you determine it?" Loki turned to look at him and said.

"Can't you marry a goddess?" Stark proposed another possibility, but clearly that wasn't a novel idea. Loki had also considered it long ago. He sighed and said: "Fine, that's my fault too. Remember Hela? I once played a trick on you."

"Shi Difen Strange should also know a part of it." Loki raised his head slightly again and said: "I once worked in the same hospital as him. He was also the first to say that you might have a wife."

"It sounds as if you also seized every opportunity to pry into my past, bluntly asking me about it." Shiler shook his head, appearing like a shield knight with perfect defense.

Shiler stood up from his chair helplessly, sighed, and said: "Suit yourselves. I really don't know why people are unwilling to believe the simplest truth, yet they criticize a person who has no stories for being unwilling to be frank with them."

"Then what's with the ring?"

In an instant, the other three all raised their hands, making an expression of "You've got to be kidding me." Stark said helplessly: "Can you find a more cliché reason? Or do all symbiote hosts in the world use that as an excuse?"

Frigga was simply shocked by Loki's boldness, but what shocked him even more was that Shiler didn't seem to mind. He just said while washing the coffee pot: "I'm sure you can't find any common ground, because I'm not very interested in art. But if you damage any of my property, I'll have Thor deduct all your salary."

"Then you all go on an adventure." Shiler covered his voice with the sound of splashing water and said: "See if you can compile some more bizarre stories to pin on my head, to add more legendary status to me, so I can add luster to the sales of your future personal memoirs."

Stark sighed softly, as if he had long since foreseen something. He shook his head, watched Frigga pull up the rolling shutter, and his figure disappeared at the end of the street. Then he said to Gray Mist in his heart.

Shiler walked out while wiping his hands with a towel, threw the towel on the back of the chair nearby, and said: "I guess what you're thinking now must be to go find Shi Difen in a while and ask him if he has any discoveries."

"Wait, this couldn't be a story about office romance, could it?" Frigga narrowed his eyes and said: "I mean, actually your partner is still alive and might be among us, but none of us know about it, thinking both sides have some unspeakable difficulties, so no one asks."

"Look at the good work you've done. Now they have to compile a bizarre love history for me."

"Eddie Brock resolutely expressed to us in the gaps of filming the documentary that he buys a big pile of sweets and shiny jewelry every day, asks for leave to watch the latest movies in the cinema, refuses the same-age women introduced by the supermarket owner downstairs, and even helps neighbors walk their dogs, all for his symbiote."

Stark sat in place and rubbed his nose. His attempt was discovered, but he still stood up defiantly and said: "I'm just interested in how Shiler existed in this world. Everyone has a past, right?"

Shiler wanted to say that he had traveled over, and the three who heard these words showed no surprise, clearly having long suspected it. It was just that Shiler had always caught their flaws, and this time, having finally caught a flaw that could be called Shiler's, how could they easily let it go?

"Are you referring to the former me, or the current me?"

Loki seemed to have no energy left to quarrel with him. He sipped the wine in his glass and said: "To some extent, I belong to running away from home. But the good news is that the gods will blame all of this on the All-Father. They will think it was Odin's neglect of me that made me dare not take responsibility for the family."

"Doctor, you wouldn't mind if I visited the area next to where I'm staying, and looked for some common ground in art from the taste you used to decorate the bedroom, would you?"

"My suggestion is, if you all really have nothing to do, go read a few more novels. The love stories in them should satisfy your needs. As for me, my business scope doesn't include marriage counseling."

Stark laughed deeply again, supported himself on the armrests of the sofa, stood up, and said: "It seems only I have this necessity. I'll go find Nick now and see his new fishing rod."

Stark was still hesitating in place, seemingly not knowing whether this kind of probing behavior would really offend Shiler. In similar questions, he was always overly cautious, but Loki had already walked toward the second floor, held the stair railing, and said.

"Really none?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Stark frowned slightly and said: "Besides you, who else is there?"

"Then what about me? What should I do?" Frigga said half-mockingly and half-seriously: "It's like I'm the most polite one. When a Frigga becomes the most polite person in a team, I simply dare not think about how bad human hearts have become."

"Both, but I'm more curious about his." Frigga turned his head and glanced at Shiler before walking out the door, and said: "A psychologist who can join the Elder Council Hospital won't be an unknown person. Maybe there really is a legend behind him worth writing into a memoir?"

In an instant, the gazes of Stark and Stark fell on the ring in Shiler's hand. Frigga coughed hard twice, as if to cover up his true intention, but his "map of Yan" was too short. Opening his mouth, he said: "You actually took the initiative to tell Professor X so much about your past. That's too heartbreaking for us. Do you intend to give us some compensation in this regard?"

"Furthermore, I have to stay at your place for a while." Loki's smile seemed to reveal a kind of pride, but it wasn't showing off that his plan was perfect, more like showing off that he could find a place to go at any time.

"Then they will talk about Hela again, and every time the topic reaches this point, the All-Father has no way to continue, because if you count it, letting go of an infant Frost Giant is considered his magnanimity, but he has an unshirkable responsibility for the failed education of his eldest daughter."

"That is a masterpiece of my symbiote."

"But seriously, Doctor, you have never expressed your views on love and family, so it's hard for us not to guess that you have some unspeakable difficulties." Stark said very sincerely.

"No matter where you are, the choice to form a family exists. And whether you choose yes or no, you can always give a reason, right?" Stark also looked at Shiler seemingly sincerely and said: "We are waiting for your advice, Doctor, just like before."

"That you have to ask the Morbid one." Shiler walked back into the house, added firewood to the fireplace, and stared at the roaring flames, saying:

The three looked at each other. Finally, Loki spoke first: "Then you can't stop us from being curious about this and taking action to explore, right, Doctor?"

"That's because you aren't professional enough." Shiler walked back into the kitchen to start washing the coffee pot and said: "Knowing too much about my past might give you more psychological pressure. That isn't a necessary process in psychological treatment, and I have no obligation to tell you."

"So you plan to live on Earth for a while?" Shiler asked.

"And his symbiote didn't even put a ring on his finger." Stark looked at Shiler's finger and added.

"Either too close or too far." Stark evaluated: "Can't we be moderately distant, not from the perspective of doctor-patient or relative relationships, but just from the standpoint of friends, hoping to know a little more about you?"

"I say, Nick should have your file, right?" Loki hugged his arms and narrowed his eyes, providing a new train of thought to the others.

"Because you didn't lie in the past either." Frigga pointed out sharply: "You are always analyzing us, but you build thick walls for your own heart and are unwilling to reveal a bit."

"Nonsense." Shiler shook his head. His gaze swept over the three of them and said: "Don't pretend you haven't discovered my specialness. Hasn't Professor X explained this to you yet?"

"Your imagination is too rich, Tony." Shiler looked at Stark as if he were surprised and said: "I really didn't expect that your literary literacy, which is clumsy even when leaving notes on the refrigerator, could allow you to fabricate such an absurd story in just a few seconds."

"If you still want to stay at my place, then don't be so eager to show off your cleverness, Mr. Loki." Shiler turned his head to look at Loki and said.

"Then why don't you fall in love?"

"Steve's attitude toward Earth is much more conservative than Odin's. I am even less likely to let any Asgardian mess around at your place. If I hadn't told her that you are deeply in love with your late wife, perhaps she would have reached a consensus with Odin on the candidate for son-in-law."

"Your wisdom has blocked all your own paths." Frigga was unceremonious.

"Fine, if that's the case, we have to talk about that problem." Frigga didn't give an inch, pressing step by step: "You couldn't have come here when you were a minor, right? Then our discussion of your possible love history has no moral or ethical problems, and it has a logical basis."

"The problem now is if I marry another goddess, then that chase back then was a real trick. There aren't many people in Asgard whose martial arts are so strong that my wisdom has no room to play, but Hela must be one of them."

"Many times, the primitive desires of instinct have their own commonalities, but when they are too common, they become trouble."

Hee hee hee.
