Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 92 Under the Mistletoe
The night was getting darker.

Naturally, snowflakes gradually fell.

Not interested in performances themselves, the two walked slowly to the porch of a closed shop. Although it was closed at this time, the decorations in the porch were still there.

"People like us who don't care about performance at all are really rare." Colt looked at the crowd who were still enthusiastic even though it had started to snow.

"It doesn't necessarily mean that they really care about the performance." Valeria thought for a while, "Most people are just attracted by the atmosphere."

"There should be some tourists, come and feel the atmosphere." Colt agreed, "However, it's really..."

Colt sighed: "Although I have said that many times, the life in the past few months is indeed too magical, which makes me feel very unreal, so now I am living in this normal life again." , but a little uncomfortable."

"It doesn't matter if you don't adapt." Valeria said, "You just need to find your own way of life."

"Still exploring."

"By the way." Colt asked suddenly, "I will graduate from high school next spring, so I will start preparing for college applications this year, but I don't think you will worry about these things anymore, right?"

"Probably not." Valeria nodded. "After all, I have already graduated from college, but I don't know if my mother will push me back. After all, she has already pushed me back to high school."

"If you don't go to university, what are you going to do? Just stay at home and continue doing research?" Colt asked.

"Almost, otherwise, what else can I do?" Valeria raised her hand and brushed her hair that was blown by the wind. "Maybe I can help a group of unreliable boys."

"I think you're implying that I..."

Valeria glanced at him, as if to say that you're somewhat self-aware.

"Speaking of it, I'm very strange. It's all just brainpower. Why can Zhao reach the Avenger level? Why do I feel that it's so difficult for me?" Colt was puzzled.

"Then you can ask him yourself." Valeria said, "Anyway, I'm not interested in fighting crime."

"It makes sense, I have a chance to ask."

"Don't you hate him?" Valeria laughed, "Didn't you reject the Avengers because of this?"

"Emotional problems, just calm down and think about it." Colt didn't care, "And, if you don't refuse, you probably won't be kidnapped by the big boss, and you won't have a chance to enter the Pasteur Building, right?"

"I think it's similar for you to follow Pim or Banner." Valeria's eyes drifted to other places, as if she was watching the performance.

Valeria's behavior is very strange...

Colt thought to himself, but he didn't know why.

Finally, the show stopped and everyone started counting down.

The great bell rang, and the New Year came.

"Happy New Year." Colt smiled and looked at Valeria.

"Happy New Year." Valeria replied, "I hope you can apply to the university you want to go to."

"Speaking of which." Colt answered, "What university is better?"

"Find it yourself." Valeria replied, "If it doesn't work, you can also ask your mentor."

Colt smiled embarrassingly, not daring to meet the other party's eyes, and turned his gaze back to the crowd.

People were cheering, celebrating, couples, kissing passionately.

Colt suddenly understood.

He turned his head and pointed to the decorative mistletoe hanging above the porch.

"You know..." Colt said hesitantly, "that custom?"

"What custom?" Valeria looked up, "That's a Celtic custom, and there are Nordic myths, New York doesn't talk about it."

Colt was speechless, could he have made a mistake?
"What should we do at a time like this?" Colt was confused.

But obviously, Valeria didn't give him time to continue thinking: "So, what do you want to say."

"I……"

"So you just want to take advantage of the so-called customs?"

"No." Colt became impatient and determined, "I like you!"

Valeria laughed, and she leaned over, putting her arms around the other's neck: "Now you can follow that custom."

……

The entrance of the Pasteur Building.

"Are you coming over for an internship tomorrow?" Valeria asked.

"Should come?" Just after confirming the relationship, Colt obviously wanted to continue to meet with the other party.

"See you tomorrow." Valeria teased with a smile. "I'll go up first. Be careful on the way. Don't ask me to rescue you again."

Watching Valeria turn around, Colt reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"You really push your limits." After parting, Valeria looked a little unnatural, and tried to look calm and said, "See you tomorrow."

After speaking, she didn't stay any longer, but immediately turned around and ran back to the building.

……

Walking into the living room, Valeria immediately noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"What's going on?" She frowned and looked at her family, and then said casually, "Today everyone is really neat."

"It's the New Year after all." Franklin laughed.

Johnny and Ben looked at each other.

Finally, Ben stepped forward timidly.

Seeing the other party's actions, Valeria frowned tightly, making Ben like this, she felt that something was wrong.

"You haven't been mind-controlled by some strange person, have you?"

"Of course not." Franklin said with a smile.

"Xiaowa..." Ben asked cautiously, "Is the New Year's Eve show good?"

"It's boring, why not do experiments at home." Valeria said truthfully, but Johnny's face gradually became gloomy with her answer.

"Then..." Ben continued to probe, "Is there anything else going on?"

"Other things?" Valeria wondered, "There was no Hydra attack, and no one tried to rule the world, so I guess, this shouldn't be considered something happened, right?"

She looked at Ben with interrogating eyes: "What happened, what do you want to ask?"

Ben hesitated to speak.

Valeria continued to look at her other family members, Franklin was holding back a smile, Reed was drinking tea indifferently, Susan was playing with her mobile phone, Johnny... Valeria could tell at a glance that Johnny had something in his heart.

She rolled her eyes helplessly: "Uncle Ben, Uncle Johnny, what strange bet did you make this time?"

"We..." Johnny thought quickly, and then got wise, "We're just betting on whether there are other superheroes who will appear at the New Year's Eve party."

"Yes, that's what we're betting on." Ben quickly followed.

"It's strange to believe you." Valeria didn't believe it at all, but she still gave the answer, "But the answer is no."

Regardless of the follow-up, Valeria felt that the atmosphere was very strange: "I'm a little tired after standing for so long, so I'm going to bed first."

After finishing speaking, she turned and answered her room.

"A draw?" Johnny suggested immediately when he saw Valeria leave.

"Obviously I won." Full of confidence, he said viciously, "You want to play tricks?"

"But obviously there is no answer." Johnny tried to make a last-ditch effort.

"Mom, why have you been playing with your phone since you just went out to answer a call?" Franklin said suddenly.

Susan showed a weird smile, and then showed the phone screen.

It was a recent photo of Colt and Valeria kissing downstairs in the Pasteur building...
