"Wait~~"
Ethan Long heard a familiar voice and pressed the elevator door close button. But Gwen Stacy ran in before the door closed.
"Thanks."
Gwen Stacy raised her head to thank him, her sweet smile suddenly freezing, and her beautiful eyes showing surprise.
"Ethan Long, why are you here?"
Ethan Long glanced at Gwen Stacy coldly and pressed the button for the first basement level.
Gwen Stacy pouted, clearly aware that her lecture yesterday had made this classmate indifferent to her. She moved a step to the right, leaned against the edge of the elevator, and stared at the ceiling, apparently ignoring Ethan Long, her classmate.
But the curiosity in her heart grew stronger and stronger. Ethan Long appeared in the apartment on the same floor as her home. There are only two households on the top floor of the entire apartment...
By the way, Mom said the day before yesterday that Mr. Smith sold his apartment. The new neighbors weren't known, and she hadn't met them before. She had even asked her father, George Stacy, to check on the neighbors. But Chief George Stacy was clearly very busy. What's more, the neighbor just moved here, and he didn't rent it but bought the whole apartment from Mr. Smith. Such financial resources are not common.
Gwen Stacy tried hard to remember Ethan Long. The only high-profile moment for this classmate was when grades were handed out, and she was overwhelmed. But usually, he was very low-key. The only thing Gwen Stacy heard from Hannah was that Ethan Long's parents were shot dead two years ago. He appeared to be attached to a cousin's family and lived in Chinatown. But Gwen Stacy knew that she met Ethan Long several times on the subway, and he seemed to live in Hell's Kitchen.
Hell's Kitchen is notorious in Manhattan, and Gwen Stacy doesn't want to go to this place. Even if her father is George Stacy, the chief of the New York Police Department, she may not be able to protect her well.
But the question is, how did Ethan Long get into her high-end apartment complex? Still next door to her house, is there any attempt? How did he get so much money to buy the apartment from Mr. Smith?
So, as Ethan Long said, she doesn't know him at all?
"Ding!"
The elevator arrived at the second floor. Ethan Long stepped out of the elevator, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He spoke to Miss Gwen Stacy yesterday. In fact, both inside and outside the words were implying, Student Gwen, you don't know anything about me; come and get to know me.
If he had such a gentle personality as usual, Gwen would just keep it in mind but would not communicate with him too much. However, meeting again in an unexpected place, Gwen Stacy's curiosity about him is now overflowing. The seeds of suggestion that had been planted in her mind yesterday were now beginning to take root.
Giving Gwen Stacy an aloof feeling in the elevator, in addition to maintaining a sense of mystery, it also made this girl constantly think wildly and begin to brainstorm crazily. Observing Gwen's expression, Ethan Long should be frantically recalling the intertwined fragments between them. It's a pity that although they are classmates, in terms of communication, they are like a blank sheet of paper.
This girl Gwen has already taken the bait; she will definitely try her best to get close to him and understand him.
Ethan Long thought so in his heart.
When a woman wants to get to know a man, it's a good sign. What is this trick called? Playing hard to get?
"Ethan, wait for me."
Gwen Stacy looked up at the indicator light on the second floor and was a little dazed. But she didn't care too much, looked at Ethan Long's back, and called him to stop.
Ethan Long paused, raised his wrist, and glanced at his watch:
"Student Gwen, if you don't go to the first floor to catch the bus, you'll be late today."
Ethan Long didn't mention the car. As soon as it was mentioned, Gwen Stacy became angry. Yesterday afternoon, she was sprayed with dirty water all over her body, and she was pointed at by many people on the way home.
"Hmph, Student Ethan Long, shouldn't you apologize to me for what you did yesterday afternoon?"
Gwen Stacy's hands were on her hips, very attractive. Jessica Jones has no advantage in this regard.
"If you're referring to Fleischer's matter, I'm sorry, it's hard for me to apologize to you for my words. I don't think I did or said anything wrong."
Ethan Long shrugged.
Gwen Stacy:
"No, I'm not referring to this matter. This is your matter. You are right. I should not interfere with you. But what I am referring to is that you drove past me after class yesterday afternoon and splashed me. Student Hannah knows about the dirty water all over her body."
Ethan Long was astonished:
"What else? If it's true, I'm sorry, I said, and I'll apologize."
Seeing Ethan Long lower his head, Gwen Stacy raised her face arrogantly:
"Hmph, is there only an apology? On the way back, do you know how many people stared at me?"
"It seems that I accidentally drove yesterday, which really made you embarrassed. If possible, I can treat you to dinner to make up for your wounded heart yesterday."
Ethan Long really didn't know about this matter.
Gwen Stacy immediately felt a lot better. I am so cute, how could a man be willing to scold me?
However, since I am a neighbor and I want to get to know you, I am determined to have this meal.
"I agreed to eat. But today, I'm going to take your car to class, and I want you to drive me home after class."
Gwen Stacy: "Anyway, you're on the way, Student Ethan, you won't disagree?"
"Okay, but just today."
Ethan Long took out the key and pressed it. Unlock and get in the car.
"Just today? Cheapskate."
Gwen Stacy was dissatisfied, but she walked over happily and sat in the passenger seat.
In the car, except for the pop music, both of them were quiet. Ethan Long wanted to hang the other party. And Gwen Stacy didn't know how to speak for a while. The driver next to her, in her eyes, was a straight man of steel. He didn't understand style at all.
Hmph, now I regret agreeing to have dinner with you.
Until school. Only then did Ethan Long speak:
"After class, I'll wait for you in this car."
Gwen Stacy gave Ethan Long an angry look.
"Student Ethan, you are so boring."
She slammed the door hard. The noise attracted the attention of many students passing by her.
Gwen Stacy getting out of the car? Wait, who is the man driving? Who dares to snatch our school belle?
When Ethan Long got out of the car, there was an uproar, and many students talked and gossiped about the two of them. Chatting and chatting, how many children have been born.
Hannah didn't know when she appeared behind Ethan Long:
"So, Gwen is your prom date?"
Ethan Long smiled:
"I hate socializing, even if it's prom."
Hannah looked at Gwen's back:
"What if Gwen invites you?"
Ethan Long thought for a while:
"Gwen is beautiful, I can't think of any reason why a man in school can reject her?!"
Hannah smiled:
"Dude, then you have to prepare well, something special always happens at the prom."
Promising to invite a dance partner can even be regarded as agreeing to a date in the United States. More grand than a normal date.
Ethan Long naturally knew. But his mind is not here. There is only one thought in his mind: how to make money.
Stark Industries is still falling slightly, but tends to be stable, and you can enter the market at this time. Ethan Long's desire to join Stark Industries again became stronger and stronger. In the future, he will rely on Tony Stark to make money for him. This is related to the growth of his wealth value.
If this opportunity is missed, the only way for Ethan Long to increase his wealth is to snatch it from some gangsters.
"Gangsters? Can robbing gangsters' money increase wealth? What about desire points?"
When you think of gangsters, you think of Hell's Kitchen. If the information Jessica Jones gave her is accurate, he will take revenge, and he has been waiting for this day for a long time.
It's a pity that Jessica has a thin skin and hasn't contacted him for two days. It seemed that what happened that night, which took his first woman, abandoned him.
No, the woman I got, doesn't want to slip away from my fingertips. If you have time tonight, you can take the time to visit Hell's Kitchen.
With this in mind, Ethan Long lost all interest in class.
When he came to his locker, the pattern of the locker had been cleaned. Fleischer watched him hide away. Ethan Long thought for a while and temporarily let the school bully go.
He asked Teacher Juliet for leave and left the school directly.
