Chapter 2: Green Gwen

Winter morning.

Snowflakes as big as goose feathers fell from the sky to every corner of the metropolis. It was still the morning when the sky was just getting light. As a world-class city, Washington had already radiated its due vitality. The figures of two groups of students and office workers were constantly walking on the streets that had just been cleared of snow.

Beep!

A local police car drove slowly and finally stopped on the side of the road in the community. The door opened, and a cute blonde girl jumped out of the back seat with a schoolbag in her hand.

"Gwen, slow down, your water cup."

In the main driver's seat, Officer George, who was dressed in a formal police uniform, opened the door and chased down. He held the thermos water cup in his hand and looked at his beloved daughter. The tone of this big man couldn't help but be a little doting: "Don't you really need me to take you to school? The road is slippery and it's snowing."

Gwen took the water cup and put it in her schoolbag, and refused crisply: "No, I have rain gear and non-slip boots."

"But."

Officer George wanted to say something else. But at this moment, Gwen's eyes suddenly lit up, her cheeks were filled with joy and excitement, she jumped up like a rabbit, and excitedly waved her arms towards a place: "Xinian, here! Here!"

"I knew it."

Officer George sighed in his heart, turned around, and saw a familiar figure of a teenager appearing at the corner of the street.

Xinian heard the voice calling him, raised his eyes and saw the two of them, and immediately smiled and nodded to greet them: "Gwen, Uncle George, good morning! What a coincidence to meet you again!"

Xinian was still very familiar with them.

Gwen, full name: "George Stacy", is a child of the same age living in a nearby community. When they were young, they went to the same nursery school, went through elementary school and junior high school, and now study in the same high school. They can be regarded as childhood sweethearts with deep feelings. As for her father, he is a local police officer with some reputation and power, who happens to be in charge of the security of their urban area. Full name: "George Stacy".

"Yes, what a coincidence." Gwen's eyes were curved, full of unstoppable smiles.

The snow around was very white and crystal clear, but Officer George's face was a little dark.

Is this a coincidence? No way!

It was clearly for this kid that he deliberately timed and bumped into him here.

Of course.

Officer George had no time to protect his daughter's little girlish thoughts, so how could he possibly expose them on the spot. Besides, he had investigated Xi Nian's family background ten years ago, and he was indeed a poor and kind child.

"Ah! Xi Nian, why don't you wear a hat or hold an umbrella!"

Gwen said in surprise, and quickly moved in front of Xi Nian. Before he could reply, her hands had already cleaned the frost and snow on his hair and eyebrows for him.

"I was in a hurry to go out, so I forgot." Xi Nian smiled carelessly, temporarily putting aside his chaotic thoughts.

"Then remember to keep warm, what if you catch a cold." Gwen puffed up her cheeks a little angrily, which made her look a little more playful and cute.

Without thinking too much, she put the furry hat on her head on Xi Nian and blew hot air from her hands on his slightly cold face. This was considered a very intimate behavior in the eyes of others, but for the two who had grown up together, it was so common that there was no special meaning.

"It's cold outside, I'll take you to school." Officer George couldn't bear it anymore and said.

Gwen didn't respond, but looked up at Xi Nian.

"The school is not far away, I still..."

Xi Nian wanted to refuse, but felt the sharp eyes of Officer George, and nodded and agreed: "Thank you, Uncle George."

Gwen smiled and said: "Then please take us a ride, Dad."

"You're welcome."

Officer George held his head high, and for his beloved daughter, he obviously had the consciousness of becoming a tool man!

After a while, the police car started and drove into the main road, heading towards the high school.

In the car with sufficient heating.

Gwen and Xi Nian sat in the back seat together. After getting in the car, Xi Nian looked at the winter street scene passing by quickly outside the car window, and his face and eyes were a little dazed from time to time.

His hand was suddenly held by a gentle and soft hand. Xi Nian turned sideways and saw a girl with a worried face.

Gwen asked him: "Xi Nian, how are you today? Are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so worried?"

"I," Xi Nian didn't know how to start.

What made him worried since he left home was naturally the photo that was stuffed into the house. Although he opened the door to check later, the mysterious person who stuffed the photo had disappeared, leaving behind a lot of strange mysteries.

Was that photo really taken during World War I? Who is the woman in the photo who is wearing armor exactly like his aunt?

Aunt's mother? No, World War I was almost a century away from now. According to the seniority, it's probably enough for my grandmother's mother.

If I ask Gwen's father for help, I should be able to find the person who secretly stuffed the photo, right?

Xi Nian hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm fine, just a little cold."

"Then you won't be cold anymore." Gwen hugged Xi Nian's left arm with both hands. At this distance, they could clearly feel each other's body temperature.

Officer George, who was driving, only glanced at the rearview mirror and almost exploded.

Seeing your own tender and white cabbage being delivered to a pig with your own eyes. Even though the pig is pretty and pretty, you still watched it grow up. This is probably something that no father in the world can tolerate!

etc.

As a visitor, Officer George had a thought and looked at the young girl through the rearview mirror. Anyone with a discerning eye could see what his beloved daughter meant, but this boy didn't seem to have that intention!

Well, as a father, this is even more uncomfortable.

…

The police car stopped on the road in front of the middle school. When Gwen and Xinian got out of the car, they immediately attracted the attention of many students.

It was only then that Xinian noticed it.

Today, Gwen wore a new beige down jacket with a close-fitting handmade sweater underneath. Her slender legs were tightly wrapped by white jeans, and she stepped on a pair of taller black boots. The body of the sixteen-year-old girl is full of youthful spirit, coupled with the short golden hair and a delicate and small face, in the eyes of others, she is simply awesome!

Xinian has become accustomed to it because he has been playing since childhood.

When he saw the envious and jealous reactions of other students, he suddenly realized that Gwen's popularity seemed to be quite high in the school.

"Gwen, you'd better let go of my hand." Xinian said.

"No, it's warmer this way."

Gwen hummed and hugged her hands harder, so that Xinian's right arm was completely covered in warmth.

Compared to the extreme softness of marshmallows, is there an indescribable flexibility?

Xinian himself naturally had no such idea.

On the other hand, the eyes of the student next to him were red, and he was roaring in his heart: "Damn it, let go of me!!!"

"If you don't let go, I will be killed by their eyes." Xinian smiled bitterly. If eyes could kill, he would have died countless times.

"You dared to threaten a knife-wielding gangster with your bare hands in elementary school. Are you also afraid?" Gwen covered her mouth and let out a silvery laugh. She let go of Xinian's arm, and then her face turned red. Quite a few.

"Don't always mention my dark history." Xinian touched the tip of his nose awkwardly. He was a bit of a middle schooler at that time. He had just visited the Captain America Memorial Hall and always thought he had the potential to become a superhero.

At that time, if the police had not arrived on the scene in time, he would have been reincarnated in the third life.

After spending sixteen years as an ordinary person, Xinian, a reincarnated person without system plug-ins, has completely looked away.

How can there be so many talented superheroes? Nowadays, there are five to six billion people in the world, and only a few people such as Captain America, Iron Man, Batman, and Superman have truly stepped onto the stage of the era as superheroes!

Among them, Superman is still a Kryptonian.

"It's not like I'm afraid of trouble."

Xinian ignored the angry students and walked into the relatively warm corridor of the teaching building. He looked at the girl beside him and said jokingly: "Of course I don't care, I just feel that this is not good for you. You are not very popular." Gao Mo, I heard that he is about to run for the No. 1 position here."

"Where did you hear that?!" Gwen couldn't help but spit.

Just, this moment.

Gwen suddenly realized that childhood sweethearts were not a good thing.

Sometimes once a relationship is established for a long time, it is difficult to change it subtly.

Just as Xinian and Gwen were walking down the corridor of the teaching building, in a tenth-grade classroom, a girl wearing glasses sat in the corner seat in the last row, looking outside in a daze, with a subtle look in her eyes. Follow Xinian back in the corridor.

"Kara, what are you looking at?"

A female classmate approached the table and asked curiously.

"I didn't see anything." Kara quickly looked away.

"Really?" The female classmate was dubious and looked along Kara's gaze, only to see a wall with artistic graffiti.

Thick walls blocked the outdoor corridor, making it impossible to see anything passing by outside.
