Chapter 3090: Romantic

~10 min read 1,985 words

Shiler takes the three children to the vegetable field. A part of the cabbage here can be picked. Although it hasn't fully grown, salad is originally made with relatively tender leaves, so the timing is just right.

Shiler doesn't expect Helen and the others to pick vegetables seriously; it's good enough if they don't cause trouble. So he pushes a small cart in the tool room next to him, takes a shovel, and starts digging out the suitable cabbage from the soil.

This farmland adopts the most advanced agricultural planting methods, coupled with the unique lighting conditions in California. The cabbage feels heavy as soon as it is held in the hand, and the moisture is well accumulated.

Shiler stands by the field and peels one open. The tender leaves inside are incredibly crisp. One bite is full of clear and sweet juice. The leaves are thick and the fiber is just right. Sure enough, vegetables grown by oneself are delicious.

Shiler picks five or six cabbages, breaks off some of the rough leaves on the outermost layer, throws them away, puts them into the small cart, and then comes to the lettuce field.

Lettuce was planted later than cabbage, and now they are all small. But this kind of vegetable can actually be eaten at any stage of growth. Shiler picks two larger ones, the size is just right for putting in a burger, and the taste is as good as cabbage.

The banana tree next to it is even less ripe. The bananas are only as long as fingers and are still emerald green. Unripe bananas are not only bitter but also astringent and completely inedible.

But the mangoes next door are a bit better. Although they are also small, small green mangoes can be used for seasoning or cold dishes. Shiler also picks some.

Now he misses Pamela immensely. If she were here, these vegetables would all be ripe overnight.

But actually, thinking about it from another perspective, if that were the case, there would be no sense of achievement in watching them grow day by day.

During the process of picking vegetables, Shiler has been thinking about the wedding. He feels that Stark is dissatisfied with some of the restrictions of a traditional wedding, but after all, he is not a child and knows that he cannot be willful in such matters, so he doesn't express it.

The reason he attaches so much importance to the entrance of the newlyweds is that during the time before the entrance, at least they are free and don't have to consider the feelings of the guests.

If he wants to add the romantic whimsy he likes, he can only start from this period of time. The idea of a hot air balloon trip is actually not bad, and it should be able to move them, but Shiler feels it is still not impressive enough.

What exactly should be done?

The gray mist seems to have sensed Shiler's thoughts. He asks in Shiler's mind: "Have you ever fantasized about your wedding?"

"I can fantasize about it now," Shiler says and really starts to think seriously, but soon fails. He says: "I really can't imagine what my other half looks like... what it looks like alive."

"Does your other half have to be human?"

Shiler is silent. He suddenly looks down at the ring on his hand. The gray mist laughs in his mind, and then he says: "Human weddings are very boring. I don't think we need a wedding either."

"We don't need a wedding to announce anything. We are the best." Shiler also laughs.

"Yes, you and I, we are the best."

"What?"

"Not Shiler and I, but you and I, Gray Mist and Greed are the best."

Shiler laughs happily.

Shiler stands by the field, washing the soil at the bottom of the vegetables he just picked with the irrigation faucet next to him, while thinking about how to arrange a surprise at Stark's wedding.

He thought of many plans, but the commotion was a bit big. Although the newlyweds wouldn't see the guests before entering, the island wasn't particularly large, and a slight commotion could affect those fragile celebrities.

Shiler feels that if he were a superhero, or a family member of a superhero, salvation would be an unavoidable topic.

Superheroes have been saving ordinary people, and the families of superheroes have also been saving superheroes. People often see the former and ignore the latter.

But for them personally, having someone save them from the heavy responsibility of saving the world is a process infinitely close to true love.

Although the concept is already there, it is still a troublesome thing to realize. You can't let them face the pressure of saving the world first, and then let someone save them. This is a happy event handled like a funeral, which is really unnecessary.

Then arrange a game? But if they were told in advance that there is this part, there would be no surprise.

Shiler thinks for a while, has no better idea, so he doesn't think about it anymore, packs the vegetables into a bag, and calls Helen and the others to go back.

Helen, Rocket Raccoon, and Pikachu really didn't pick vegetables honestly. Halfway through, they found a water pipe next to the field and started a water gun battle. On the way back, they were wetter than when they came.

On the way back, Shiler saw that the equipment Reed wanted had been delivered, but he was still enthusiastically pursuing Susan, and didn't know when he planned to start work.

After returning to the pool, Shiler told Reed the news. Reed was actually very active. He whispered to Shiler:

"I think you're right. Although I don't have any romantic cells, I think everyone will fall in love with the way I work seriously."

This sounds a bit narcissistic, but Shiler feels there is some truth to it. Mainly because Reed doesn't talk when he works seriously. He shuts his mouth, and his personal charm instantly increases several times, so it also has an effect.

He sees Reed go to invite Susan.

The reason is very old-fashioned, that is, the experiment needs an assistant.

Susan is also a scientist. Logically speaking, inviting a proper scientist to be an assistant is inevitably suspected of looking down on the other party.

But the gap in academic status between the two is a bit large. Susan is also a very excellent scientist, but compared with Reed, the top scientist in the world and even the universe, she is still worse. Moreover, she is engaged in geological scientific research, which is different from Reed's field and does not have the same high priority as Reed's project. In the entire solar system development plan, she is in a lukewarm position.

Learning that Reed invited her instead of Peter, who is more powerful and closer to Reed's field, Susan was still very happy, but she still expressed concern appropriately.

"Reed, I know you are also doing some geological research. I think we will have some common topics in this regard, but the problem to be solved this time is biological science. I really don't have any understanding of this, and I might cause you trouble..."

"Oh, it doesn't matter." Reed just wanted to speak based on his intuition, but he remembered Shiler's teaching. No, he must treat Susan as a mystery of cosmic truth. The opportunity to reply is limited. He must hurry up and think about how to say it to get the most information.

"Um... good scientists all think so. Science can be learned by analogy. Even if the gap between disciplines is large, the way of thinking is always similar, and the basic process of research is roughly the same."

"You know, I am the kind of scientist who will have a flash of inspiration, but perhaps you can help me complete the more basic parts. With a solid foundation, my inspiration can... uh, can burst out better."

Reed really has no words. He has really tried his best. If he were the kind of person who is good at sweet talk, he wouldn't have never dated until now. He doesn't have so many gorgeous words in his mind, so what he says sounds dry, but it is a miraculous progress compared to before.

Susan looks at him with bright eyes. She reveals a brilliant smile, which makes Reed's eyes straight.

"If that's the case, then it's my honor. In the future, I can go out and brag to people that I have been Dr. Richards' assistant. No one will not envy my good luck."

After saying this, she takes Reed's arm and walks toward the car. Reed turns back and gives Shiler a grateful look. Shiler gives him an OK gesture.

Stark on the side originally intended to watch Reed's joke, but found that Reed performed so well, and immediately realized that there was fraud in it, and Reed's last look also revealed the answer. Sure enough, Shiler did it!

Stark sneaks to Shiler's side and asks with some surprise: "What are you doing? How did that Richards suddenly know how to pick up girls?"

"What's difficult about this." Shiler leans over and says in a low voice: "If he doesn't know how to pick up girls, can't he do research? I asked him to treat Susan as a mystery that can obtain cosmic truth after being solved. Of course, he learned it without a teacher."

Stark is stunned in place, like that cosmic cat meme, as if he opened the door to a new world.

Suddenly he says excitedly: "Even if there is a mystery that can obtain cosmic truth after being solved, it should be Pepper!"

"Can both be?"

"No, I can't let him solve the mystery first. Cosmic truth is mine!"

"I think you two are crazy." Shiler sighs sincerely.

Stark returns to Pepper's side, his face full of smiles, not knowing what he is saying.

Pepper and Elektra are teaching the children to swim. Actually, it's not teaching. It's mainly that children are born to swim in the mother's body. When they leave the mother's body, the younger the child, the better the water quality.

But now both children are older and need to wear a children's swimming ring around their necks to float, but both children are raised very robustly, their limbs paddling hard, swimming around in the pool very smoothly.

And the two mothers only need to be on the side to ensure that they don't swim too far or bump into others.

Actually, watching children swim is quite interesting, because they don't actually know what they are doing. They just feel that their limbs have nothing to rely on, so they keep waving instinctively, wanting to get rid of the current situation, but the more they wave, the faster they swim.

Stark is clearly going to coax Pepper. Before long, the two of them hold the children and go to the side to talk and laugh.

Although Stark is also a scientist, he is a prodigal son in love, and his rank is much higher than Reed's. Before long, he makes Pepper laugh out loud.

Shiler watches helplessly from the side. He doesn't know why a person who is already a father has to compare with someone who hasn't chased a girl yet. Maybe this is the scientist's desire for cosmic truth.

The sky gradually darkens. Eddie starts the projector, and a huge holographic projection screen appears in front of the pool.

Everyone floats in the water, talking and laughing from time to time, and focusing from time to time. The light and shadow of the screen flow across their faces, and the water surface ripples, like a tributary of the river of human history, freezing time at this moment. ===== CHAPTER 3091 =====
