At that moment, Wanda somehow remembered that the person in front of her… had also stared at her before?

Luke didn’t know that the thoughts of the person behind him had already gone astray. He continued, “So, it’s an objective phenomenon for men to like women, but it’s your own views which affect your attitude.”

When Wanda heard this, she thought, …Hm, that’s true, I don’t think I feel uncomfortable. But that’s because he looks very calm, right?

After she obtained her ability, she could compare the way most men looked at her with their mental states.

She already had a certain conditioned response to any man who took one glance at her and her chest, and then hit on her right away.

Among the Avengers, in comparison, Steve was like a kindly elder, and Hawkeye was indifferent.

Tony, who had been screwed over before, didn’t regard her as a ‘woman’ at all, but as a ‘brat.’

Even Rhodes, who liked to brag about his ‘girlfriends,’ wasn’t interested in her.

These superheroes had strong personalities and wouldn’t be attracted by a woman’s looks alone.

Only Vision was curious and friendly about everything, which was why the two of them had gotten close.

As for the Bat Squad, Knight treated her and Pietro well, but viewed her more like… a colleague?

Big Dipper was the person she interacted with the most. Although his face was cold, he still cared about her.

For example, while it sounded like he was admonishing her right now, it wasn’t like he was berating her harshly, which made her feel good.

He had never avoided looking at her, and that included her chest.

In the last few months, however, as Wanda became more and more familiar with her abilities, her mental fluctuations had become chaotic.

If Luke wanted to observe her mental state, he had to rely on her body language.

Thus, he didn’t know what the little witch behind him was thinking, or he would definitely feel wronged.

Given what Wanda habitually wore, the fair skin on her chest was exposed every now and then.

It had the same effect as the ‘bullseye’ on Steve’s shield, and subconsciously drew attention.

Luke didn’t have any other thoughts, and Wanda wasn’t ugly. He didn’t fixate on it – it was purely a natural response to take a look.

Luke, who had been wronged, was still putting on a show. “Training can’t be finished in a day. Taking breaks whenever necessary will help you go further. When you have the time, set an example for your brother and go out and enjoy a normal life. Otherwise, who knows how long he’ll have to wait to get a girlfriend.”

Wanda nodded and her eyes flickered. “Are you encouraging me to find a boyfriend?”

Luke shook his head. “I think that’ll be very hard.”

Wanda was stunned. “What?”

Luke said, “You can see everything about the other party, but you won’t be able to accept his shortcomings.”

Wanda nodded and looked down at the ground. “What about you? Do you have a girlfriend?”

Thinking about the overbearing CEO who prioritized her career, the artist who loved drawing the most, and the broad-minded cupcake maker, Luke concluded, “I like her strengths and don’t mind her shortcomings. That’s enough.”

Wanda was stunned. “What? You really have a girlfriend?”

Luke: “…What makes you think I’m like your brother?”

Wanda: …

That was the end of their heart-to-heart talk.

One was surprised that the other party actually had a girlfriend, and the other was unhappy that it was assumed he didn’t have one. The atmosphere was awkward.

Fortunately, Luke felt that he had basically achieved his goal.

Directly diss Vision? That was impossible.

There was nothing going on in the first place. If he specifically brought up Vision, wouldn’t that be giving the little witch a hint?

It was human nature to become enamored with something new.

As long as most of Wanda’s attention was diverted by new world experiences, she wouldn’t focus too much on Vision.

It was a personal matter to begin with, and interfering indirectly once was his bottom line.

If even this could still stir up trouble, Luke would accept it.

He wasn’t a big villain, Vision wasn’t a big villain, and Wanda wasn’t his sister.

When he left the Avengers base, Luke couldn’t help but look at the night sky again and sigh. “Spring, hurry up and pass.”

…

As Luke hoped, nothing else happened in the next few days.

On the afternoon of 10 August 2011, he drove Selina and the dog head to an ordinary bungalow on the east side of Queens.

He and Selina each carried a box that was neither too big nor too small, and which was wrapped in ribbons.

As Luke unbuckled his seatbelt, he looked at Selina’s box and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure a ten-year-old boy will like this wrapping?”

Selina looked down at the box in her hand and was confused. “Can’t a ten-year-old boy like Peppa Pig? Mindy likes it.”

Luke chuckled. “Did your brother Julio receive a gift wrapped like this too?”

Selina shook her head. “No.”

Luke: “Heh~”

Selina said, “He’s only ever gotten pink fairy princess wrapping paper.”

Luke was shocked. “Are you serious?”

Selina said matter-of-factly, “I was too busy with work to wait for the clerk to wrap it up. In the end, when I got home, the only wrapping paper left was what I had used for Andrea, so…”

Luke nodded sympathetically. “Your brother doesn’t have it easy.”

Selina rolled her eyes. “However hard he has it, can it compare with when I was young?”

Luke said, “That was because your parents just moved, and were only just starting out.”

As they chatted, they pressed the doorbell.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a 1.2-meter-tall kid stood in front of them.

Seeing them, the little boy smiled brightly and hugged them. “Luke, Selina, you’re here.”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but look at the boxes in their hands.

Luke’s box was light blue, and the little boy froze when he saw the box in Selina’s hands.

Uncertain, he raised his head and looked at Selina. “Is this for me?”

Selina chuckled and stuffed the box into his arms. She then vigorously rubbed at the pout on his face. “Of course. Happy birthday, Peter!”

It wasn’t until little Peter’s face was a little red that she let go. “Okay, it’s just wrapping paper. There’s a model of a Death Star inside.”

Little Peter’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

Luke gave him his present with a smile. “I didn’t wrap mine in pink pigs, so I won’t tell you what’s inside. Happy birthday, Peter.”

Little Peter beamed.

Compared with Selina, who liked to tease him, Luke was too generous.

He let them in, and finally couldn’t hold back his excitement. He ran through the living room and into the backyard.

Only then did Luke mutter, “If you want to tease him, you should go all the way. How can you give up halfway? At least half of the surprise when he opens his presents is gone now.”

Selina sneered. “You really are an ‘honest and reliable’ big brother.”
