Pixel Maniac in the Comic World

Chapter 42 First date

Although the results of the random store visit were not satisfactory, it could even be said that I couldn't understand why that store was still open. The level of unpalatableness was a new high among the few breakfast store visits.

But when it comes to things like driving, the focus is not what to eat in the morning.

On the way to send Peter back, Terry mentioned the dark circles under his eyes. Peter explained that he had met a new friend last night and accidentally chatted a little late.

Seeing that Peter was rather perfunctory about the details, I guessed that the so-called new friend might be related to Spider-Man's identity, and it was also a new strange person and thing.

So Terry didn't ask too much.

In fact, he doesn't have much enthusiasm for the 'career' of superheroes, and he goes to the swordsmanship gym to improve his self-defense capabilities.

There are many ways to help others, and Martin once taught him that exposing yourself to danger is the most irrational one.

Although Terry was indeed running for the 'web sling' on Spider-Man's wrist at the beginning, now that he has really become friends with Peter, this kind of thing can be left to chance.

After sending Peter home, Peter stood at the door and said that he would continue to catch up on his sleep because he would accompany Aunt Mei to a newly opened charity organization in the afternoon to do volunteer work.

"what is this?"

The overall area of ​​Queens is larger than that of Manhattan, but Terry still drove slowly and arrived at his destination on time. Then he sent a message to Liz, who responded with a smiley face in the chat box to say wait.

"Thank you, but it's not necessary. After all, we are just dating... Oh my god!"

But the upper body has a different kind of visual impact because it is beginning to take shape.

"Hi."

It's almost time now.

"Wow, technically this is the second time we're saying hello, but-"

Terry waved his hand and started driving to the address Leeds had sent him.

Liz, who opened the door on her own, spotted the gift box on the passenger seat at a glance. She picked it up with some surprise and then got into her seat.

"Breath freshener? Charlot is awesome, why did I forget this."

Just after Terry tentatively sprayed it into his mouth twice, a pleasant voice sounded outside the passenger door.

Finally, coupled with the fact that Liz did look like an American college goddess, Terry only felt that his breathing was a little inconsistent.

Terry's hands moved around on the steering wheel. He had been driving so smoothly just now, but now he felt uncomfortable no matter how hard he put them. He straightened his collar in the rearview mirror, turned on the car music and randomly picked a slow song. Shake, nod a few times to the rhythm, then hurriedly bend down and place the gift box that he had just put down squarely on the passenger seat again.

"Whoo~"

Her smooth blond hair hangs naturally on her shoulders. A white tank top is underneath a maroon short jacket. Jeans and a small black belt perfectly tie her slender waist.

Terry tried his best to control his expression. He didn't want to look too nervous: "I think I should wait by the car to open the door for you. Sitting in the car waiting is a bit rude for a beauty like you. .”

Terry found another bottle of something similar to perfume in the storage compartment of the car door, picked it up and looked at it.

Terry hurriedly stuffed the breath freshener back and quickly turned his head: "Hi~"

"This is the first time I have received a gift on a date. It's so thoughtful~"

Of course, this does not mean that Thompson does not give gifts on dates. Although Thompson is not that rich, he is not so stingy.

The word Liz used for her date with Terry was not Dating, but Seeing. Due to American culture, the latter is less severe than the former. Dating is when both parties have made it clear that they like each other, and have reached the point where they have said intimate words to each other, such as "I like you", which means that in a relationship, it is very normal to give each other gifts at this step.

Seeing can only be regarded as one kind. Both parties or one of them expresses to each other or one of them that I am somewhat interested in you. Maybe we can make an appointment to hang out together and then decide whether to establish a better relationship.

However, because the American culture is too relaxed about the degree of communication, sometimes the boundary between dating and love will appear very blurred. Although the importance of the two words is different, as long as both parties feel good after hanging out, it will be successful. , then both of them may move towards a relationship at any time (this will not be translated, everyone understands the meaning).

But before, Terry was a bit over the top on the first date, so when he asked his assistant Charlotte to help him get a car, he accidentally said that he had a date (the word with a stronger meaning), so the assistant thoughtfully helped him He prepared a gift for the latter kind of date in the passenger seat.

Fortunately, this was not too overstepping. Liz just praised Terry as the most generous boy she had ever seen.

The sports car started slowly, and Liz opened the gift box on the spot. Then the beautiful girl's hand paused, and her smile became a little stiff.

Looking at the expensive skin care products lying side by side in the gift box, Liz glanced at Terry suspiciously.

Why are there three identical ones?

Terry was concentrating on driving at the moment. It was no different than in the early morning. There was more traffic on the road and the steering wheel was not so smooth, so he didn't dare to be distracted.

Seeing that there was no abnormal color on Terry's face, Liz could only suppress the doubts in her heart and gently put the skin care products back.

Maybe it was the custom of the Eastern people, but it couldn't be because Terry wanted to have a foursome - even though this sports car did have four seats.

In fact, Liz was shocked when she saw the sports car from a distance just now.

She is not a money digger. On the contrary, her first choice of dates is usually not the kind of rich young man.

First of all, she had not been poor growing up, and secondly, the life experience of the equally beautiful girls around her told her that young men usually only go to bed when they date, and most women are just playmates and bed partners with such boys.

Therefore, the more boys show off their wealth, the more Liz will reject them.

The problem is that when she expressed interest in Terry, she didn't see any traces of wealth in Terry's clothes.

Although the doubts in her heart were dispelled after Terry did not actually pick up the other two girls, this feeling of being too extravagant still made Liz subconsciously give Terry a low evaluation.

Just treat this as an ordinary seeing. After it's over, just stay away from each other and don't take away the gifts. If Terry dares to make excessive demands at night, he will refuse them coldly.

Most of the itinerary arranged by Terry from the next morning to noon was indeed beyond the imagination of the bored and naive Thompson, and those high-end shops and restaurants that Leeds had never been to were also difficult to experience because Terry was really rich. Yes, but Leeds's reaction tended to be dull.

Terry didn't care either. It was impossible for him to fall in love with a girl he had only met three or four times and only chatted with twice. However, the girl's appearance was indeed at the top of Zhongcheng Middle School.

It's just a weekend hang out, not dating.

For Terry, he is also examining the other person's other aspects besides his appearance. If Liz Allen really shows that he worships money, then let's say goodbye to each other after dinner in the afternoon.

Although he didn't show his worship of money now, the other party's reaction almost pointed out that his interest in him had begun to decrease.

The cost of this day was less than the bottle of red wine Mayfair ordered last night. Terry was not that generous, but this little money really didn't matter.

After lunch, the two kept some distance and walked on a street full of luxury stores. Although they didn't want Terry to spend money on him, Liz had never been here before and was very interested in watching it.

Terry was also unconcerned. He even started sending messages to Master Jacques on his mobile phone, saying that he would be able to resume training tomorrow.

Until a burst of noise in front attracted the attention of both of them.
