Chapter 27: Ben’s teachings

Stepping onto the balcony, Lin Xin did not turn on the light, but directly took out the still ringing mobile phone and turned off the ringer with a slight slide of her thumb.

It was now twelve o'clock in the morning. Lin Xin remembered that in the Amazing Spider-Man movie, Peter Parker and Dr. Connors were working together to develop the lizard serum at Osborn Company. They did not answer Ben's call and waited until after twelve o'clock. Got back home.

Lin Xin walked to the railing next to the balcony and found Peter Parker's uncle, Ben Parker, lowering his head slightly and sitting silently on a chair in front of their house.

"It seems it's still early." Lin Xin shook her head slightly, walked to the recliner and lay down.

Looking at the starry night sky, Lin Xin quietly waited for Peter Parker's arrival.

Not long after, Lin Xin heard the sound of high-heeled footsteps coming from the road in the distance. The footsteps sounded light and heavy, as if someone's feet were injured.

Lin Xin didn't pay much attention, because it definitely couldn't be Peter Parker, so he still lay on the chair and continued to think about his own things.

The footsteps gradually reached downstairs, and a familiar and surprising voice suddenly reached Lin Xin's ears: "Ben, what are you doing sitting at the door?"

"It's Mei." Lin Xin stood up suddenly and looked towards the door opposite.

Ben, who was sitting at the door of his home, slowly stood up, looked at his wife who was walking a little uncoordinated, and said with a disappointed face: "Peter still didn't pick you up."

"Ben, Peter has grown up and has his own life. We shouldn't bother him with anything."

Mei shook her head slightly, walked up the steps, and said to her husband with a disappointed look on his face: "I'm not a child. I can come back by myself, and I don't need Peter to pick me up. Well, it's quite cold outside. Let’s go inside.”

"You go in first, I'll wait here for him to come back. I must have a good communication with him today." Ben said with some annoyance.

"Ben, no need"

"Okay, you go in first, it's quite cold outside." Ben interrupted Mei directly and sat down on the chair again.

Mei shook her head, knowing that she could not persuade her husband, so she turned around, opened the door, and said, "You guys communicate well and don't be too harsh. Peter is still a child."

Ben nodded slightly and did not answer.

"Oh." Mei sighed and walked into the house.

The moment Mei entered, Ben, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly said: "Go to the kitchen to get some food. Peter may not have eaten yet."

Mei paused slightly, smiled slightly, and closed the door.

Lin Xin, who saw this scene on the balcony, sighed slightly. Having grown up in an orphanage, he really envied Peter Parker.

"Peter Parker is really ignorant. Do you have to wait until you lose it before you know how to cherish it?"

Not long after Lin Xin lay down, the sound of a skateboard came to Lin Xin's ears.

"coming"

Lin Xin's eyes flashed, and he slowly stood up. He knew that this was Peter Parker coming back.

As soon as Lin Xin stood up, she saw Peter Parker stepping on his skateboard. The skateboard spun and bounced off the ground, and Peter was instantly caught in his hand.

"Hey, good evening."

Peter Parker smiled and strode up the steps, standing in front of Ben who was sitting on the chair with his head slightly lowered.

Seeing that Ben didn't answer, Peter continued: "I thought"

Ben suddenly raised his head and looked at Peter, interrupting Peter directly: "Did you forget something?"

Just as Peter opened his mouth to explain, the cell phone in his pocket rang: "Didi-di-di"

Ben sat up straight, exhaled slightly, folded his hands on his chest, and said solemnly to Peter who was picking up the phone: "No need to answer it, but I'm glad your phone still works. You owe your aunt an apology, sincerely Meaningful.”

Peter opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.

Ben put his hands on the armrests of the chair, stood up tremblingly, and said sternly: "Like a man, go in and apologize."

After saying that, Ben opened the door directly and motioned for Peter to come in.

As soon as Peter entered the house, he saw Mei standing in the living room and winking at him.

Peter raised his forehead and said to Mei apologetically: "I'm sorry, Aunt Mei, I"

"Really, you don't need to apologize to me, you"

"Why doesn't he need it?"

Ben interrupted his wife with a cold face, causing Mei to spread her hands helplessly.

"I'm sorry, I'm busy with other things, I"

"Ah, you have other things to do."

"Yes."

"Your aunt, my wife, walked twelve blocks alone in the middle of the night and then waited in a deserted subway station because you had other things to do."

Peter lowered his head in shame, Mei put her right hand on her chest and said quickly: "Hey, Ben, I can definitely walk home by myself."

Ben shouted loudly to Mei: "You are not allowed to protect this child."

"I didn't protect you,"

"You just have it. Okay, kid, listen to me."

"I listen, you speak."

Ben looked at Peter for a while and said in a deep voice: "You are very much like your father, very much like Peter, which is a good thing. But your father is a man of ideas and principles.

He firmly believed that if you could do something good for someone else, you had a moral obligation to do it.That's what matters, it's not a choice, it's a duty. "

Hearing Uncle Ben say that his father had abandoned him since childhood, Peter's eyes instantly turned red. He lowered his head, and after a slight silence, he said to Ben: "That's so well said, so great."

Peter choked slightly and continued: "What he said made me enlightened in an instant, so where is he now?"

Seeing Peter actually crying, Ben was a little overwhelmed, but he still asked softly: "What?"

"Where is my dad? Don't you think he has the responsibility to tell me this in person?"

Hearing Peter's words, Ben shouted in surprise and sternly: "Oh my god, how dare you say that about your father?"

"Why don't I dare you to say these things?"

After Peter finished speaking, he turned around, opened the glass door, and walked directly outside.

Seeing Peter walking out, Ben was a little panicked and said quickly: "Where are you going Peter, come back."

"Bump~wow"

The glass door slammed shut, but because Peter's force was too great, the glass was shattered.

Peter looked back and found that Ben and Mei were looking at him with concern. Peter gritted his teeth and strode out.

Seeing the remorse on her husband's face, Mei said softly: "Ben, let him be alone, he will be fine."

Ben gently patted his wife on the shoulder, silently opened the broken glass door, and walked in the direction of Peter.

On the balcony, Lin Xin, who had completely seen this, sighed slightly and said to himself: "If the glass is broken, it will be difficult to recover."

Lin Xin gently pushed the railing, jumped off the balcony, and disappeared instantly.
