This day was Saturday.
Gwen had no classes, and her internship at Osborn had also ended yesterday.
Gwen successfully received Professor Connors's praise, got the university recommendation she wanted, and Professor Connors also told her that if she was willing, she could continue to intern at Osborn Company during the holidays.
Clearly;
Gwen's academic excellence made Professor Connors think highly of her.
As for whether Rhodey's presence was a factor in this?
That remained unknown.
However, Professor Connors did know that Gwen was dating Rhodey, the mysterious vice president of the company.
But considering that Professor Connors was the kind of person who prioritized academics above all else, it was not certain that he would give Rhodey face because of this.
In the afternoon.
Rhodey and Gwen had just finished eating at a restaurant near Central Park. When they passed an ice cream shop, Gwen showed a longing look.
Rhodey immediately understood and bought two ice creams, one for each of them.
"Mine tastes pretty good, how about yours?"
Gwen took a bite of her ice cream, then looked at the one in Rhodey's hand.
"It's alright, do you want to try it?"
Rhodey brought it over and put it in front of her.
"Okay!"
Gwen had already thought of this, and immediately took a bite.
"Hmm~! Yours isn't as good as mine."
Gwen commented.
"Is that so? I don't believe it."
Rhodey said, taking a bite off the tip of Gwen's ice cream.
This time, Gwen wouldn't have it; she immediately pulled her hand back, protecting her ice cream.
"You ate too much! I only had a little bit."
Her protective look was like a little hen.
Rhodey found it amusing.
The two walked and chatted.
Somehow, the conversation turned to Spider-Man.
"Spider-Man is very popular recently. He's only appeared for less than a week, and he already has many fans on Twitter!"
Gwen sounded a little sour when she said this, because she herself was Spider-Woman, and Spider-Woman had been fighting crime in Free City for some time before.
Although her crime-fighting was clearly not as diligent as this recent Spider-Man.
But at least she was an earlier debut senior, right?
However, now it seemed that more people on the internet liked Spider-Man.
In contrast;
Spider-Woman, who hadn't appeared for several days, was already far from her former glory.
On one hand, it was due to Gwen's passive operation.
On the other hand, it was also related to the negative comments about her online previously.
Those comments turned many people into anti-fans of Spider-Woman!
And now another Spider-Man appeared.
There was no harm without comparison.
Compared to the hardworking Spider-Man, Gwen, as Spider-Woman, was really too laid-back.
She wasn't active at all in fighting crime!
However, Gwen had already come to terms with it after Rhodey's guidance last time.
At this moment, besides a little envy for Spider-Man's rapidly surging popularity, she had no other thoughts, nor did she have any intention of changing her laid-back style because of it.
She was a Superhero driven by interest; when she wasn't interested, she wouldn't go to work!
Gwen thought to herself.
....
"Yes, Spider-Man's popularity is indeed very high."
Rhodey nodded and said.
"But the higher you stand, the harder you fall. Just like Spider-Woman before, if he fails to do anything well, he could be verbally attacked by those people online at any time!"
Gwen nodded in deep agreement.
She also thought so.
It seemed those people online just liked to focus on what these Superheroes didn't do well and make a big deal out of it.
She was the same before.
This Spider-Man now would probably also encounter such a situation in the future.
However;
Conversely, netizens were also forgetful.
Isn't that right, Gwen hadn't appeared as Spider-Woman for several days, and now those negative comments about her online were almost nowhere to be seen.
Instead, some netizens started to express that they missed the days when Spider-Woman was around.
This made Gwen feel that these people were really strange.
Especially since some of them were the very people who had cursed her online before.
Now they were saying they missed her?
Seriously, I give up!
"Rhodey, who do you think is stronger, Spider-Man or Spider-Woman?"
Gwen suddenly asked this question.
If it were someone else asking, Rhodey would definitely evaluate it objectively and then give an answer.
But the person asking this question now was Gwen.
Which was Spider-Woman herself!
Rhodey wasn't stupid; there was no way he would say Spider-Man was more powerful than Spider-Woman in front of Gwen.
"It should be Spider-Woman."
Rhodey said.
"Look, when that Spider-Man made his move, he was clearly very immature. I guess he must be young. You can actually tell by his voice; his voice hasn't fully developed yet!"
"And in terms of performance, Spider-Woman once easily lifted a van. In comparison, this Spider-Man is a bit lacking."
Rhodey argued his point from several angles, and Gwen, who was beside him, nodded continuously, agreeing wholeheartedly.
"That's right, Spider-Woman is definitely more powerful than Spider-Man!"
Gwen nodded and said.
"Gwen, I didn't expect you to be a fan of Spider-Woman!"
Rhodey feigned surprise.
This made Gwen inwardly delighted.
She almost couldn't resist telling Rhodey directly that she was Spider-Woman.
However, she still held back.
"Yes, I'm a girl, isn't it normal for me to like Spider-Woman?"
Gwen said with a smile.
"Is that so? Then let me tell you a secret, I actually know Spider-Woman."
Seeing Gwen's expression, Rhodey knew she must be secretly smiling, so he leaned in and whispered something into Gwen's ear.
"Rhodey, do you really know Spider-Woman?!"
Gwen pretended to be very surprised.
They say women are born actresses, and Rhodey felt that statement was absolutely true.
Just look, Gwen in front of him was very good at acting!
If he hadn't known beforehand, Rhodey really might not have seen that Gwen was acting.
One could only say her acting skills were outstanding!
"Yes, I once helped her with a small favor."
Rhodey said.
Gwen thought to herself, that was more than just a small favor; you helped me out of a confused life!
