Chapter 32 Revenge Lan is appearing again!
The day passed quietly, and Lan Xingyu returned home early.
He looked around and found that Tony was not there, so he asked Jarvis: "Jarvis, where is Tony? Where has he gone off to have fun again?"
"Sir, he has gone to the company to work and may not return for the next two days. However, Sir has instructed the private chef and cleaning staff to continue arriving on schedule. Therefore, Mr. Lan Xingyu, you do not need to worry."
"Oh, is that so! How about I go out and have some fun tonight? I remember there are gangs that might be looking for trouble with me, right? Should I take advantage of Tony not being here and go have a wild time?"
On second thought, he decided to let it be; cleaning out all the major organizations in Hells Kitchen at once might not be a good thing. Let's wait. Wiping out one a week feels pretty good. Yes, that's it. Next week, I'll go and wipe out that fat guy, Kingpin.
The next two days were uneventful, and Lan Xingyu enjoyed this tranquility.
During this time, Lan Xingyu also visited Peter's house, and unsurprisingly, was charmed by Aunt May. He had dinner at their place. I have to say, other than that pie thing, Peter's Aunt May is excellent at everything else.
Upon learning that Lan Xingyu was home alone these past few days, Peter even invited Lan Xingyu to stay at their house for a few days.
However, Lan Xingyu didn't like sleeping in the same bed as others, and besides, there was a dog at home that needed care, so he couldn't leave.
Peter's aunt and uncle didn't force him, telling Lan Xingyu that he could come over and hang out with them anytime if there was no one at home, and that was all.
Soon Saturday arrived, and at the invitation of Gwen Stacy's parents, he came to visit the stacy family.
Originally, the stacy family also wanted to invite Lan Xingyu's family in the United States to come over. But Tony had been busy at the company these past few days, and Gwen's parents understood and did not insist further.
He brought a gift to Gwen's house; the gift was a type of bulletproof vest that Tony had specially made before. Since it wasn't needed now, Lan Xingyu brought it over. He knew that Gwen's father was a police officer, so if he could get a high-quality bulletproof vest, it should be a nice gift.
Arriving outside Gwen's house, Lan Xingyu felt a bit constrained; after all, this was the first time in his past or present life that he had visited a female friend's home. It felt… strange. What is this feeling of meeting a mother-in-law?
When Gwen opened the door, she saw Lan Xingyu shaking his head.
"What's wrong with you?" Gwen asked.
Because it was already winter and New Year was approaching, Gwen was wearing slightly thick clothes, making her look incredibly cute.
What? You say the protagonist is a lolicon? Are you kidding me, brother? Look at which powerhouse in the 2D world isn't a lolicon. Look at Sesshomaru, Your Highness, how did he treat Rin? That line: "There is nothing that can replace Rin." It captured the hearts of so many young girls! And Accelerator next door. Didn't they all throw their cool personas to the ends of the earth for a loli?
"Oh! That… something just fell on my head," Lan Xingyu said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Gwen, is that your friend here?" A female voice came from inside the house.
"Yes! That's right, Mom! Come in, Lan Xingyu." Gwen replied to her mother, then stepped aside to invite Lan Xingyu in.
Lan Xingyu walked into the house, put on the slippers Gwen handed him, and followed her inside.
The decor of the stacy family home was simple, but it gave a warm feeling. Gwen's father was reading a newspaper on the sofa, and seeing Lan Xingyu come in, he greeted him: "Good morning, little friend!"
Lan Xingyu responded immediately and hurriedly. This flustered image, which he had never shown at school, made Gwen laugh out loud.
Gwen's father rolled his eyes at his daughter, stood up, took the gift from Lan Xingyu's hand, and said: "You didn't need to bring a gift just because you came over." As he spoke, he unwrapped the gift. He was a bit surprised to see a bulletproof vest he had never seen before.
"Because I know that you are a police officer, Uncle. So I got this from Tony Stark, a bulletproof vest he specially designed and made for his bodyguards. It weighs only half of a regular bulletproof vest, but its bulletproof effect is three to four times that of a regular one. If it's a high-risk mission, there are also arm guards and leg guards as accessories," Lan Xingyu introduced. After all, this bulletproof vest had not appeared on the market.
"Tony Stark, are you talking about the Iron Man?" Gwen's father, George Stacy, asked with some surprise.
"Yes, I live with Tony now," Lan Xingyu said, scratching his head.
"Thank you for your gift, this is really useful," George Stacy said seriously. Free America, shootings every day. Although this was just a joke, as a police officer here, there were indeed risks. And this gift could greatly increase the chances of him returning home every day.
Seeing that the other party really appreciated his gift, Lan Xingyu was very happy. At this time, Mrs. Stacy came out carrying a plate of fish.
"Little Xingyu is here, ah~ so cute. Your face is so soft." Mrs. Stacy had just put down the plate when she was attracted by Lan Xingyu's passive trait and started squishing his face.
"Wow! Xingyu's face is so stress-relieving. After squishing it, the mood of being stood up by someone has improved." Mrs. Stacy said, glancing sideways at the guy who was hiding his face behind a newspaper.
Seeing this mood, Lan Xingyu burst into laughter, and his initial slight embarrassment vanished in this laughter.
Everyone chatted happily for a while. Lan Xingyu's passive skill combined with his polite and appropriate behavior immediately won the favor of the stacy family. The stacy family invited Lan Xingyu to eat sea bass today, a fish with a good taste. But the awkward part was that it had to be eaten with a knife and fork, and even for people who often used knives and forks, they wouldn't know how to cut open sea bass the first time; even if it was already cooked, it was still difficult to break its skin.
Lan Xingyu tried cutting it but couldn't, feeling a bit embarrassed. Gritting his teeth, he directly applied Armament Haki to the knife and fork, though the amount wasn't much so the knife and fork didn't turn black. As a result, he miscalculated the force and cut the fish and the plate together directly, and the table knife even stabbed into the table for a few centimeters (even Luffy wouldn't have done this when cutting fish with Armament Haki…).
"Little Xingyu, you're not very good at cutting, are you? It needs to be from the other side of the head… uh… Honey, aren't you going to help him? Oh my god." Mrs. Stacy started off teasing Lan Xingyu and was preparing to let her husband help when she saw Lan Xingyu cut through the plate with one knife. Everyone was in a flurry, but it gave this lunch a happier atmosphere.
After the meal, Mrs. Stacy was very happy when she knew about the gift Lan Xingyu gave, and she pulled Lan Xingyu to invite him not to leave, to have dinner together, and then go to see a Broadway musical with them in the evening.
Because she knew very well how dangerous her husband's job was, many times she dreamed that the person ringing the doorbell was not her husband, but a colleague delivering her husband's police uniform. This had woken her up from her dreams more than once. But she was his wife, and all she could do was prepare meals and give him a home where he could rest and relax with peace of mind. Therefore, Mrs. Stacy was very grateful for Lan Xingyu's gift.
Unable to refuse Mrs. Stacy's invitation, Lan Xingyu stayed behind. However, Lan Xingyu hoped that he could make dinner, because in his view, this bulletproof vest was not that precious, and it would increase Mrs. Stacy's burden just for this bulletproof vest.
"Mrs. Stacy, may I ask a presumptuous question? You should be pregnant, right?" Lan Xingyu said, shocking everyone.
"What, Mom (Wife), you're pregnant!" Gwen Stacy and her father were both surprised.
"How did you know?" Mrs. Stacy also looked at the little boy in front of her with some surprise. She herself had only started having symptoms these past few days and had only confirmed it yesterday.
"I have studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, and TCM focuses on looking, listening, asking, and pulse-taking. I could tell when we were eating." Lan Xingyu certainly didn't know TCM, but he could sense a life reaction in Mrs. Stacy's womb.
"Is it true? Mom, I'm going to be a big sister!" Little Gwen said with surprise, jumping around the house.
George Stacy came to his beloved's side and gently hugged her. One hand gently stroked his beloved's hair: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier?" There was some self-reproach in his tone.
"I also just went to the hospital to confirm it yesterday. And you have had tasks these past few days, I was worried that this would distract you. I just wanted to tell you after a while," Mrs. Stacy said softly while lying in her beloved's arms. A sweet and warm atmosphere spread between the two of them.
Lan Xingyu!! (╯'-')╯︵┻━┻ (Flipping the table)
┬─┬ ノ('-'ノ) (Setting it back up)
(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻ (Flipping it again, damn it)
I just finished eating, okay? You guys just start feeding me dog food without any warning, not caring at all if the dog will be stuffed to death! No, you never consider it, you only consider yourselves. 5555555 I'm having such a hard time. Single dogs have no human rights… I didn't tell you this news for you to show off…
Finally, under Lan Xingyu's un(shameless)reasonable (acting cute) argument, he obtained the right to cook dinner. Although Mrs. Stacy's cooking was okay, it was just okay, and Xingyu, who had been spoiled by Tony's private chef, naturally couldn't settle for that.
Today, I will let you know the greatness of my China's food culture, and let you suffer in the pain of being unable to eat delicious food in the future. Hahahaha, you dare to show off your love in front of me, the vengeful Lan. Hmph! Shinra Tensei! (Feel the pain!)
