In Marvel, people are slime Chapter 056

Time flew by like a white steed passing through a crack.

Soon it was deep winter, and the school welcomed exam week.

The living room of the Stark mansion.

On the dining table, there was a glass of milk with oats, two fried dough sticks, and a boiled egg.

When in a foreign country, one must take good care of themselves. While savoring the flavors of other countries, one should not forget the taste of home.

Lai Mu munched on half a fried dough stick, happily taking a big gulp of oat milk. White milk stains moistened her delicate lips, and her hair fluttered slightly in the gentle morning breeze, depicting a beautiful and lively breakfast scene of a loli.

Pepper sat opposite Lai Mu, elegantly tucking her golden hair, eating her breakfast in small bites. Her breakfast consisted of a small sandwich and half a glass of milk, an amount so small it was like feeding a cat.

Ever since she and Stark confirmed their relationship, Pepper moved into the mansion at Stark’s request. America is a very open country, those who understand, understand, every night there were creaking and moaning sounds.

Only a certain slime was pitifully too powerful in hearing, to the point that he sometimes couldn’t sleep at night.

This became another reason why he had to move out.

Pepper took a small bite of her sandwich, chewed slowly, and only spoke after swallowing it completely, “I saw that the mountaintop opposite has been under construction for a long time, and the progress is very fast. Is that the villa you’re building?”

“Yes, I contacted a well-known construction company in California. I heard their boss once studied in Japan and is proficient in some kind of law called leek, or spinach.”

“Their efficiency is very high; they can build an entire large villa in a few months. From groundbreaking, inspection, to moving in, the fastest record is three months.”

The price was also very high, but even at its highest, it wouldn’t exceed ten million, so there was no need to mention that.

Lai Mu ate and answered simultaneously, quickly finishing another fried dough stick.

“Once it’s built, I’ll move in.”

Pepper was still a little worried. She put down her sandwich, her hands resting on the table with concern, looking at the opposite side, “Can you take care of yourself living alone? Do you want me to hire a nanny for you?”

“It’s fine, I can take care of myself.”

Pepper hesitated but nodded, “I’ll tell Tony to keep your room, you can come back anytime if you’re not used to living there.”

…No, thank you, come back to eavesdrop?

However, Lai Mu didn’t directly refuse Pepper’s kind offer, but just smiled and accepted, “Okay, I should get going now, Happy is still waiting for me outside, you take your time eating.”

Lai Mu drank the last half glass of milk, licked the corner of her mouth with her small tongue, stood up, and waved.

“Be careful on the road.”

“Got it—”

Lai Mu was going to school now.

He naturally didn’t need to take exams, but he had promised his mentor, Old Emick, that he would visit him when he had time.

After the holiday, Old Emick’s children and family would pick him up for a gathering. These few days were the last chance; any later, he would have to wait until school started again.

Outside the villa, a low-key luxury black car was parked.

Happy leaned against the car, wearing sunglasses and a suit.

At first glance, he looked like the gang enforcers in “The Godfather” movie that Lai Mu once watched, a suit brute. It seemed like he would pull out a Beretta M 1934 pistol from his pocket the next second, or take out a Chicago typewriter from the car.

He seemed as strong as he was when they first met, invisible data flowing in Lai Mu’s eyes—in fact, Happy was 1.879 kilograms heavier than he was then, and his belt was cinched very tightly.

At this rate, he would eventually become the fat man in Lai Mu’s memory.

“Haven’t you been exercising much lately?”

Happy took off his sunglasses and laughed, instantly revealing a simple and honest expression, his big boss image shattered. He also subconsciously touched his tightened belly, looking even more simple.

“Hahaha, no, no such thing. As a professional bodyguard, I have to maintain high-intensity training every day… you know. Get in the car quickly, I’ll drive you to school.”

Lai Mu inwardly complained… but you’re just a driver.

In the past six months, Tony Stark, Lai Mu, and others barely went out. Happy also stayed at home for more than half a year.

Staying at home for more than half a year, with his salary still paid, he naturally gained weight… Training, probably just for show.

Lai Mu and Happy met less often, but they gradually became familiar with each other over the past six months.

The road was clear, the sun was bright, it was a good day.

The car drove on the road.

Happy reached out and pressed a button on the control panel, switching the rock music playing in the car to the morning news.

He thought young people probably didn’t like listening to old songs from decades ago, just as he himself didn’t like listening to antiques from over a hundred years ago.

Lai Mu leaned against the car window, quietly listening to the sound of the wind, the roar of the engine, and the pleasant voice of the news anchor.

Green trees and varying heights of American-style buildings continuously flashed before her eyes.

“…It is reported that the FBI has concluded its investigation into the plane crash of Stark Industries executive Obadiah Stane three months ago.”

“The conclusion determined that the engine disintegrated due to metal fatigue fractures in the engine blades, an accidental incident, with no human factors involved, which is regrettable.”

It was Obadiah, time passed so quickly, it felt like only yesterday he was fighting him on the rooftop.

Lai Mu felt a little emotional, that battle was truly perilous, missiles flying everywhere, bullets littering the ground, flames and smoke rising fiercely.

She repeatedly escaped from desperate situations, counterattacking from the brink of death, brushing past the Grim Reaper’s scythe, dancing gracefully with the wings of the Archangel Gabriel.

One careless mistake, and her career as a tentacle monster might have ended.

A battlefield is a battlefield, life and death in an instant, she must be more cautious in the future.

The female anchor’s broadcast continued.

“…Following Tony Stark’s announcement of his Iron Man identity, Stark Industries’ recent release of new technology has sparked a new wave of public opinion… According to reporters, the miniaturization of the reactor means… it will bring changes in all aspects to the future of humanity…”

“…Breaking news, last night, a panda gave birth at the St. Mungo Zoo in California, both mother and cub are safe…”

Did she just hear something?

Stark Industries’ new technology, stock prices rising… No, panda! It’s a panda!

Lai Mu was instantly thrilled, she sat up straight, little stars twinkling in her eyes.

There’s actually a panda here!

It’s decided, once the villa is built, she’ll plant a large bamboo forest and get a panda to raise!

Black and white, fluffy and round things, simply wonderful! Who could refuse?

Los Angeles Institute of Technology is a world-renowned polytechnic university.

It has a history of over a hundred years, which is considered long in the United States, with only over two thousand faculty and students. It adheres to elite education and is a major recipient of Nobel Prizes.

The pressure on students’ studies is naturally very, very high. Especially during exam week, many students are so worried that their hair thins and turns gray.

Students of all kinds can be seen everywhere on the main roads of the school, rushing about, mostly carrying books, notes, or tablets, reading as they walk.

The exam was coming soon, so it was better to read as much as possible.

Once this grinding exam was over, they wouldn’t have to be so rushed. Most of them would become “lewd” people during the holidays, and a small part would become “punishing” people.

But even with exams imminent, when a beautiful sight entered the campus, it inevitably attracted countless gazes.

She wore a loose white hooded sweatshirt on top, paired with gray-white mid-length shorts, revealing her fair and delicate calves.

Light blue long hair draped over her clothes, her cute little face full of curiosity, hands in her pockets, looking around.
