American Comics: The Girl Next Door is Spider-Gwen

But as he turned his head, he saw a kind smile directed at him.

"Mr. Thompson, where are you trying to go?"

Ye Li glanced toward the manor's gate and gestured. "Just a reminder, the exit is that way."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Thompson felt a surge of pressure coming from Ye Li.

"What I mean is—"

Snap.

Ye Li snapped his fingers.

A few seconds later.

"Hey! You can't do this! Hey!"

Thompson kicked his thick legs frantically as two burly men in suits each held one of his arms and dragged him out.

His lackeys met the same fate.

"Alright, stop wasting time here."

Ye Li lifted the scroll in his hand, revealing a mysterious smile. "I still need to give Gwen a surprise."

Harry's expression softened as he glanced at the poster and asked, "Is this the teacher's new masterpiece? For Gwen?"

"Pretty much."

Ye Li asked, "Where's Gwen?"

Knowing Gwen's personality, she wouldn't just stand by and watch Peter get bullied here.

"Jessica was clinging to Gwen earlier and dragged her into a room on the second floor for who knows what."

Harry explained this to Peter, hoping he wouldn't overthink it.

"Alright, I'll go find them. You take Peter inside first."

Ye Li also greeted Peter, "Peter, have fun. Don't overthink things."

"Uh-huh..." Peter responded absentmindedly, unsure of what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Ye Li didn't say much more.

Peter was a big boy, not a girl; there wasn't much to console him about.

Let Peter's good buddy Harry take care of soothing his fragile little heart.

….

"Mm-hmm-hmm~"

Ye Li carried the poster on his shoulder.

He hummed a cheerful little tune.

Leisurely, he made his way to the second floor.

With a sweep of his spider-sense, he pinpointed the room where Gwen and the others were.

"Oho, Room 201, here I come."

Room 201.

"Mm-hmm~"

Gwen, pinned down by Jessica, shuddered as that feeling came over her again.

"What's wrong, Gwen?"

Jessica paused her actions, asking worriedly, "Did I hurt you?"

She thought she might have lost control of her strength and hurt Gwen.

"No, Jessica."

Gwen clutched her chest in confusion. "It's that same heart-fluttering sensation from a few days ago, but this time it's not as strong. It feels a bit like... someone plucked at my heartstrings."

Is that so?

Jessica's gaze turned suspicious. Didn't they check last time?

She suspected Gwen just didn't want to put on clothes.

"Plucked your heartstrings?"

She scoffed dismissively, "Are you going to say that after being moved, you thought of Li and that he's coming to save you?"

"What... what are you talking about..."

Gwen covered her face in embarrassment.

She did think about that guy~

But Jessica thought her lie had been exposed. She sneered and quickened her actions, saying, "Hmph~ Gwen, stop struggling. You can't escape from the palm of my hand."

"Oh no, Jessica, why do I have to wear this…"

"Hmm-hmm, your figure is absolutely perfect for it."

"Come on, put it on, and you'll be the most dazzling girl at the party."

"Don't you love Ghost Spider too? Hurry, hurry."

Just as Jessica was getting more and more excited.

Ahem!

Ye Li's voice came from outside the door.

"Uh... Jessica, are you in there? I'm coming in~"

Jessica: (x〃)

Gwen: (x〃)

"Ah—uh, this."

Jessica glanced down at Gwen beneath her...

A mischievous smile quickly flashed across her face as she loudly said, "Come on in, brother, feel free!"

Click!

Ye Li quickly unlocked the door and entered at lightning speed.

The scene in the room made him freeze momentarily.

It wasn't entirely because Gwen's half-undressed figure, snow-white skin, moist eyes, and a few disheveled strands of golden hair made for an enticing sight...

Uh, okay, maybe that played a tiny role too.

But more importantly—why was Gwen wearing Ghost Spider's suit?

Was she exposed?

Jessica saw Ye Li freeze and thought he was fooled by Gwen's convincingly realistic cosplay.

So, she gave a sly smile, placed her hands on Gwen's shoulders, and pushed her forward. "Brother, look at what I found! Spider-Gwen!"

Gwen hurriedly denied it, "I'm not, I didn't, don't listen to her nonsense."

She waved her hands innocently, not even bothering to cover her exposed skin.

Of course, that was because she didn't mind Ye Li admiring her body.

Gwen's large patches of flawless white skin swayed in front of him, and Ye Li couldn't take his eyes off her.

He rubbed his chin and righteously declared, "Hmm! I think this requires further investigation, further investigation indeed."

"Wuu~ Li, Jessica is bullying me."

Gwen pouted and complained, reaching out for a hug as she whined.

Ye Li, of course, gently embraced her, enjoying her soft and firm figure. "Jessica, don't bully Gwen."

"En—!" Jessica glared, her cheeks puffed up like a goldfish. "Pah! The moment you see her, you forget about your sister!"
