Chapter 569 An Unpleasant Lunch (Please Support the Genuine Version)
Brian Braddock. A postgraduate student in the Engineering Physics Laboratory of the University of London. His slender figure makes him look very tall, and he is indeed tall, about 1.87 meters tall (Note: Peter Parker is only 1.75 meters [self-proclaimed].).
Although he is tall, his body does not look thin. Brian belongs to the kind of good figure that looks thin when he is dressed, and has flesh when he takes off his clothes. Of course, Peter Parker is also this figure. But the height is flawed.
In terms of appearance, because Brian was twenty-five years old this year, his appearance was more mature, and his well-fitting attire had a standard British gentleman's demeanor.
Peter Parker is only nineteen years old this year. To be precise, he has just passed his eighteenth birthday and has just entered the nineteenth grade.
So when Peter Parker and Bryan stand together, he looks more like a child in terms of appearance, height, and dressing taste. Of course, this is also true. Eighteen (or nineteen) Peter Parker was just an older kid. It has nothing to do with whether he is Spider-Man or not.
It's like he brought a large box of things all the way from New York, most of which are daily necessities for Gwen's usual use, as well as her favorite snacks and so on. Giving expensive gifts or something, Peter Parker doesn't have that kind of consciousness yet, although from now on, as Spider-Man, he is actually not short of money.
Let's talk about Brian, he looks very gentlemanly, and his behavior is very British gentleman style.
For example, he is now driving his Aston Martin out to lunch with Gwen and Peter.
"This is your first time in London, Peter? ( ̄▽ ̄)/" Brian said to Peter, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, familiarly.
"Yes, because I won a lottery at the mall... (??ω`?)" Peter told a lie that no one would believe.
Gwen, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, turned her head out of the window and shook her head noncommittally: "(..?)"
This is the most embarrassing thing, Peter Parker is his ex-boyfriend, and Brian is pursuing himself. Although Brian didn't say it clearly, Gwen is not a fool. She knew why Brian was trying to curry favor with her, but she didn't know the place thousands of miles away. A senior offered to help, and it was hard for Gwen to say no.
After all, Brian is still very gentlemanly. Just like today, Brian is going to help Gwen find a suitable part-time job.
With Gwen's work experience in New York, he might be able to find a job in the laboratory. Of course, Brian also invited Gwen to have lunch at noon or something.
Of course, Peter immediately said after knowing this situation: "I just flew back from New York, and I happened to be hungry too. (???? `)" He looked at Gwen and Brian and said.
Gwen really didn't know what to say. But Brian tilted his head and thought for a while and said, "Then, let this friend of Gwen go to have lunch together."
So, there is this embarrassing situation in the car.
Gwen didn't speak, just the two men talking to each other.
"It's hard to fly from New York to London, isn't it? Is the economy class crowded? I probably won't be able to sleep with my legs curled up for more than ten hours. I really envy you ︿( ̄︶ ̄)︿." Brian drove Glanced at Peter Parker. Look, a gentleman is different, there is no gunpowder in his speech.
Peter is wearing a T-shirt with the Captain America logo today. It was bought a year ago, and it is slightly faded now, but you can't tell if you don't look carefully. In addition, he was wearing a pair of ordinary jeans and a pair of sneakers, which was very suitable for his grade.
But today Brian and Gwen are wearing very formal suits, which makes Peter look too casual. Especially Gwen is wearing a pair of high-heeled leather sandals today.
You must know that when Peter and Gwen fell in love, Gwen never wore high heels. Because Gwen is not short, about 1.68 meters tall, if she wears five centimeters or even seven centimeters high heels, she will look taller than Peter.
Peter glanced at Brian and said, "Is that so? I've only done first class, I've never seen what economy looks like. In fact, except for this one, all my cross-country flights have generally been in private jets (yes, Before that, I only had one cross-country flight experience in Toyo, and I took the special plane of the Osborne Group, so Peter did not lie.) ( ̄へ ̄”
Gwen lowered her head: (awkward  ̄. ̄awkward). An embarrassed expression on his face. Fortunately, after traveling this way, we soon arrived at the place for lunch.
A French seafood restaurant. Don't ask me why the British have French food for formal dinners.
This high-end restaurant offers different menus every day, usually according to the season. Generally, there are three appetizers and soup, plus two to three main courses, plus about five main courses and three ending desserts. Then choose an appetizer, soup, main dish, staple food and dessert to form a complete menu.
The menu is in French and has no pictures. This made Peter Parker a little confused. He had never learned French!
Brian recruited the waiter who finished ordering in French proficiently, and signaled the waiter to see what Peter needs, Brian: ( ̄︶ ̄)↗. Then the waiter looked at Peter, Peter: (absolutely  ̄. ̄Look).
Fortunately, Gwen knew that Peter Parker didn't understand this, so he said quickly: "Give this gentleman the chef's recommendation for bouillabaisse, replace the sparkling wine with orange juice, and don't add parsley to all the dishes, he I don’t eat parsley. I also want the chef to recommend the menu, and replace the mixed fish soup of the main course with salt-fried cod.”
Anyone who has eaten French food knows that this kind of banquet, even a banquet with a simplified process like lunch, is served very slowly during the period. Set aside 10-20 minutes between each dish to give guests a private conversation space, which is the main reason why many people choose to talk about business while eating French food.
Whether it's dating or business. Generally, most of the people who come to this kind of restaurant to eat are even numbers, either two or four.
It is rare to have three people at a table like this one, especially two men and a woman.
The current atmosphere at the dinner table is probably like this: Peter ( ̄へ ̄)…………Brian~( ̄▽ ̄)~…………Gwen ( ̄ω ̄)………………
It should be described very thoroughly.
Fortunately, a rush of phone ringing broke the silence, and it was Gwen's phone that called. She motioned for herself to go out and answer the phone.
So only Peter and Brian were left on the scene.
Brian: "( ̄▽ ̄)/Dude, you're Gwen's ex-boyfriend."
Peter: " ̄へ ̄, it's your boyfriend!"
Bryan: "(~ ̄▽ ̄)~Duck mouth is hard."
Peter: "(╬ ̄盘 ̄) is just a temporary small conflict, and it will be fine once we resolve it!"
Brian: "(* ̄︶ ̄) Hehe."
Peter: "What do you mean? Do you want to fight? (▼ヘ▼#)"
Bryan: "(* ̄︶ ̄) Your size, I think I can hit you a hundred."
Peter: "(▼ヘ▼#) Then let's have a try!"
Bryan: "(* ̄︶ ̄) British gentlemen never regard violence as the best way to solve problems. This is something that Yankees like to do." (British people's sense of superiority arises spontaneously.)
Peter: "<( ̄ ̄ ̄)> So even if there is something wrong in this world, the British still tuck their tails and pretend not to see it, right? Maybe this is what you mean by gentlemanly demeanor?"
Bryan: "(艹盘艺) You are looking for death, you can insult me, but you can't insult my country!"
Peter: "It's you who insulted my country first!"
Just when the battle between the two was on the verge of breaking out, Gwen walked back, and both of them instantly returned to their polite appearance.
Peter: "Brian, what did you just say? You even pay attention to the year you drink water? You really deserve to be a sophisticated British gentleman. (o?▽?)o "
Bryan: "Where, where, I don't think Peter, you are so proficient in video games and animation comics, you are simply a leader in the otaku world (??▽?)?"
Cheers: [~( ̄▽ ̄)~[][]~( ̄▽ ̄)~, a group of harmony.
Gwen knew that these two people were definitely not as simple as they appeared on the surface, so she said quickly: "Brian, thank you very much for helping me get in touch with your teacher, but I'm sorry just now, Daisy called me just now. Her teacher There was just a shortage of staff in the lab, and she recommended me to go there. I'm sorry, I'm leaving right now."
After Gwen finished speaking, she looked at Peter again, her expression was a little complicated: "Peter, I'm sorry. I have to rush to school now. I don't have time to greet you. Here is the key to my apartment. If you don't go back today, you can sleep On the sofa. I'm leaving first, I think you two had a very speculative chat just now, maybe you can continue chatting."
"Oh, by the way, I've already paid the bill just now, you two take your time." Gwen smirked and ran away quickly. She didn't want to stay here for a second because of the atmosphere here.
Peter and Brian looked at each other, and they said: (〝▼皮▼)——(▼へ▼メ)
