After dealing with the Destroyer episode, it was already evening when Peter returned home, and the sky gradually turned from bright to dark.
When he returned home with full shopping bags in his left and right hands, he was greeted by Aunt Mei's displeased face, and even little Mei Dai looked at him angrily.
"Peter, you promised me you would be back before six o'clock. It's only half an hour from here to the supermarket. Now how do you explain where you spent your time?"
Although Aunt May scolded Peter, she was relieved in her heart, but she was still a little angry that Peter didn't keep his promise.
Peter could tell that she was worried about him. Aunt May had lost many family members like him, and she couldn't bear it again.
"I just stayed a little longer to choose a suitable birthday gift for Mei Dai. See if these soft and cute little shoes are suitable for her. When she learns to walk, she can wear these little shoes to accompany you. Let's go for a walk." Peter was glad at this time that he had thought of preparing a birthday gift for Medei.
Aunt Mei looked at those cute little pink shoes. Mei Dai would look so cute when she put them on. She thought that she could take Mei Dai to the park to show off to others that she was the cutest granddaughter in the world. Her anger was gone. Half done.
She happily accepted Peter's explanation and began busy preparing for tonight's feast.
Peter offered to help her, but she kicked him out of the kitchen on the grounds that Peter's clumsiness would ruin her delicious recipes.
So Peter had to stay in the living room and play with Mei Dai. This little guy was easier to coax than Aunt Mei. Just a small piece of cake easily turned her pouting mouth into a smiling face.
I don’t know if it’s because she inherited the spider ability, but Mei Dai can crawl very fast, and she will probably be able to climb the wall soon.
If there was a baby crawling competition, Mei Dai would definitely win if she participated.
Looking at Mei Dai sitting on the sofa playing, Peter had an inexplicable impulse in his heart and pinched her chubby little face.
Those chubby cheeks must feel great to the touch. Like a cat slave who wants to pet a cat, Peter also wants to pinch Medei's little cheeks.
Medei suddenly stopped and looked at Peter. She seemed to be keenly aware of a crisis. Although she was still a spider cub, her spider sense worked as well as a brand new remote control.
Her eyes were full of confusion and confusion, not understanding what this magical ability meant.
In the end, Peter couldn't help but stretched out his finger, but Medei nimbly dodged it. She had a premonition that her little face would suffer if she was caught by Peter's finger.
So a scene like this happened, Peter kept testing and Medei kept dodging, just like playing a game of whack-a-mole.
The final winner is Peter. After all, he is an adult and has a physical advantage. Now he can finally squeeze Medei's little face.
Playing with human cubs is indeed an interesting thing, especially your own children, who can't help but want to bully them a little.
Medei, who was having her cheek rubbed, frowned and her expression turned aggrieved. Peter had a premonition that something was wrong. He ignored that all children have a special skill of crying and doting elders.
Sure enough, as soon as Aunt Mei heard the crying in the living room, she immediately put down what she was doing and ran out. In this way, Mei Dai escaped Peter's trick.
Aunt Mei picked her up and comforted her: "Good baby, why are you crying? Dinner will be served soon. I will take you to the kitchen to look for anything interesting, such as flour balls."
After Mei Dai's plan succeeded, she hid in Aunt Mei's arms and proudly stuck out her tongue at Peter. She had long known that if she cried, she would get candy.
Tonight's meal was sumptuous, with Aunt May carefully preparing gluten-free cakes and beef brisket that was so tender that it could be pulled apart with just a little force.
The warm and harmonious days when the family gathers for dinner like this give Peter the illusion that this is just a normal world, and that he is just Spider-Man Peter Parker and not a time traveler.
But he must always remind himself that this is the Marvel Universe, and everything here has nothing to do with the word normal. At this moment, maybe the zombie virus breaks out somewhere on the earth, or maybe Thanos in the universe is once again ready to try to eliminate it. Half of the lives, even the infinite gems have appeared in the world, and no one does not covet the supreme power of the gems. This will lead to another bloody and cruel war.
The irreconcilable conflict between mutants and humans, the collision of technology and magic, the battle of wits and courage between superheroes and evil villains, these are the most exciting parts. Those unyielding souls and immortal stories make this world unique. Charm.
But when Peter takes off his Spider-Man costume and pretends to be just an ordinary New Yorker, what he needs is just an ordinary dinner.
Sitting around the dining table, enjoying a hot meal, and telling each other about the little things in life, such as Medei learning to eat with a spoon.
Looking at May Dai who clumsily used a spoon to scoop soup, but got her cartoon bib stained with soup juice, and Aunt May who rarely had a smile on her face, Peter realized that it is precisely the ordinary life that makes Spider-Man great. .
Your friendly neighbor Spider-Man protects the ordinary lives of millions of people in New York.
The night is getting darker and darker, but some stars are showing up in the night. The little stars and the bright moon make up the New York night sky.
After Peter washed the dishes, he wanted to put Medei to sleep. She was so excited about her birthday and ate too much cake that she still refused to lie in bed after her usual bedtime.
After all, Aunt Mei was already over fifty years old. She had worked hard all day and had no energy to mess around with Mei Dai anymore, so she went back to her room to sleep early.
After finally catching the naughty boy in the cradle, the little guy still refused to calm down and kept looking for an opportunity to "escape".
The mahogany cradle from IKEA obviously couldn't trap her. As soon as Peter relaxed his surveillance on her, she was ready to climb out and continue playing, causing Peter a big headache.
Peter considered using a web launcher to net her in the cradle so that she couldn't break free, but this was not what a qualified parent should do, so he decided to find another way that would avoid being sued by child protection agencies in court. .
Most children don't sleep because they are excited or playful. You just need to do something to attract their attention and calm down their mood.
"Mei Dai, do you want to hear a story? As long as you lie down and close your eyes, I will tell you an interesting story." Peter said softly.
Her eyes kept switching back and forth between the outside of the cradle and Peter, wondering which one to choose. Playing and stories were both attractive to her, and in the end she lay down obediently and covered herself with the quilt.
"This story is about a group of heroes who save the world. Your father was once one of them. These heroes all have a common title, Avengers..."
Peter recounted the legends of the past, and the scene of the Avengers gathering together to face the Chitauri Legion appeared in front of his eyes. It was as real as if he had experienced it himself.
But he was just a time traveler who had read a few comics and movies. How could this happen? Could it be the memory fragments of the original owner?
Ignoring this question that cannot be explored for the time being, Medei fell into sleep before the story was finished, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly with her even breathing.
"Good night, have a sweet dream."
Peter pinched Medei's cheek and turned off the light and left. The room became dark and silent, but Medei would not be worried or scared. She knew that the Avengers were protecting the world.
