Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 20 The past was the past, and the present is now

Hawke looked surprised.

Gwen fell silent as she looked at Hawke's expression.

Fake.

Too fake.

Gwen couldn't help but give a heartfelt comment.

"Your acting is so fake."

"Feel sorry."

Hawke shrugged: "I'm not a professional actor."

Yes.

Gwen was already outside.

To be precise, he came over just when Peter was about to confront him, but stopped when he heard the noise inside the gym.

Gwen thought Hawke and Peter wouldn't notice.

but……

After awakening his microcosm, Hawke, who controlled his first five senses, could hear not only Gwen's footsteps but even the sound of falling leaves behind the gymnasium as long as he wanted to.

The same goes for Peter who has spider sense, not to mention that this version of Peter is a genuine spider-spirit Peter who has undergone a mutation.

However, Peter has only just mutated and has not yet fully adapted. In addition, Hawk's punch just now also shocked Peter.

But Peter reacted quickly after being reminded by Hawke's eyes, and caught sight of Gwen's breathing outside the gymnasium.

So the two of them tacitly chose to keep quiet.

Look.

This is another reason why Hawke likes the original Spider-Ghost the most.

He makes no comment on The Amazing Spider-Man.

But Tech Spider-Man?
Ha ha.

Hawke had no doubt that if it was Holland or Spider-Man, that guy probably wouldn't understand what he meant, and might even continue to chatter on and on.

wrong.

It’s not maybe, it’s certain.

Hawke thought to himself.

at this time.

Peter also came out from the back, and then looked at Gwen outside, with a hint of surprise on his face: "Gwen, you haven't left yet?"

Gwen looked at the frozen expression of surprise on Peter's face and couldn't help herself.

"Peter, your acting is not as good as Hawke's."

"Ah, haha, hahaha..."

Peter's expression froze, he scratched his head subconsciously and smiled, then said goodbye to Hawke and walked towards the school gate on his own.

Seeing this, Hawke also prepared to leave.

He has to go to Osborne Bioindustry to work his summer job early tomorrow morning, so he plans to go to bed early tonight.

Gwen blocked his path.

"There's something wrong with you, Hawke."

"what!"

Hawke was slightly stunned.

Gwen frowned and looked at Hawke curiously: "When did you become so familiar with Peter? I've never seen you talk to Peter before."

To be precise, she had never seen Hawke chatting with anyone.

Even if other students came to Hawke, he would send them away with a few words and continue to do his own thing.

Also, like at the dance, at the beginning, some female classmates took the initiative to approach Hawke and asked if he could be their male date.

result……

To use the words circulated among female classmates.

"Hawk?"

"That's a fucking iceberg, a fucking ten-thousand-year-old iceberg."

The same is true for other female classmates.

Gwen is no exception.

Gwen thought about the times when she looked for Hawke. Although Hawke didn't show it, Gwen could feel that Hawke seemed to be resisting talking to her.

But today?
Her intuition told her that now that Hawke was talking to her, that invisible sense of resistance seemed to have disappeared.

Gwen was curious about this.

Hawke listened to Gwen's complaints and explained with a relaxed expression, "Peter and I weren't close. He came to see me because I happened to be there when Lightning trapped him in the bathroom last time. He came to thank me for that."

Gwen listened to Hawke's explanation and fell silent again.

after awhile.

She looked into Hawke's eyes and a smile appeared on her face: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. There's no need to lie."

Hawke heard this, thought about it, looked at Gwen's pretty eyes, and nodded.

"Well, I don't want to talk about it."

"I'll find out for myself."

"can."

Hawke nodded, preparing to leave, but before he did, he thought for a moment and said to Gwen, "Investigate as you please, but don't get too involved. I've heard that when a woman becomes curious about a man, that's the beginning of her downfall." Gwen finally realized that Hawke's previous subtle resistance towards her had disappeared, but she gave a sneer on the surface.

"I don't think I'd fall for a guy who barely considers us friends."

She once again thought about when she sent Hawke home a few days ago, and the reluctant expression on Hawke's face after she said they were friends.

wrong.

By that time, Hawke's resistance to her had already weakened.

Gwen thought about the scene of that day again, and her heart moved.

Hawke didn't refute, but just shrugged and walked down the stairs.

"Goodbye, Gwen."

Gwen looked at Hawke's departing back and shouted, "I'll find out your secret."

"come on!"

Hawke waved without turning around.

He didn't take this matter to heart.

What I just said to Gwen, that when a woman becomes curious about a man, she will fall for him, was just a casual remark.

but……

If I hadn't awakened my microcosm, I probably wouldn't have said such a thing.

Hawke sat in the last row of the school bus heading back to his new apartment, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

After all, for Hawke before he awakened his universe, love was a luxury.

It was still a luxury that was out of his reach.

But after awakening the microcosm?

There is something to say.

Money makes a man bold.

Although Hawk still has no money now, he has fists!
Power is the fist.

Power is money.

The same reason.

Having fists means having money.

and so……

Before was before.

This is now.
