Marvel's Last Angel

Chapter 171 Me too. . . .

The cup collided with the metal table and slid forward a little distance, making a harsh sound, especially in such an environment.

Yan stopped arranging the books, looked down from the small ladder, and frowned slightly. "What's bothering you?" Steve asked, twisted and sitting on the top step of the ladder.

This bookstore now only has Steve as a customer, of course, this is also deliberately done by Yan.

"No...it's okay, I can take care of it." Steve hiccupped and waved his hands.

"Heh... why don't you drink so violently usually." Yan rolled his eyes, obviously not believing Steve's words.She jumped off the ladder, picked another bottle from the liquor cabinet, opened it, and poured it for Steve.

"Thank you!" Steve thanked, but his eyes were attracted by the newspaper that Kuan handed over.

"I don't want to hit you again, but it happened."

Steve reached out and rubbed his temples. He is a fighter, and what happened recently really gave him a headache. "Sorry, instructor."

"Why, apologize to me?" Yan asked in surprise.

"I failed your expectations...!" Steve put his hand down, his eyes a little dazed.

"Expectation...it has nothing to do with me!" Nightmare shrugged. "Come with me, Steve!"

"Where are you going?" Steve asked suspiciously.

"Go to a place that can make you happy!" Yan picked up the coat that was put aside, and walked out the door, "Follow up with the soldiers, I don't think this little wine will pour you down."

"Of course not...!" Steve nodded helplessly, following Yan's footsteps.

. . . . . .

"It's such an old-fashioned place...!" Steve looked up at the building in front of him, and laughed dumbly.

"Even though it's old-fashioned, it's very effective." Nightmare nodded for confirmation, and threw a baseball cap to Steve, "Put it on! No matter what time it is, you are a man of the hour, and I don't want to be blocked by the crowd."

"That's not a good thing...!"

"I'm looking for your autograph!"

Captain America Memorial

"Oh! What a terrible little man!" Nightmare stood side by side with Steve with folded arms, recalling the past.

"...It's really bad..." Steve nodded and lowered the brim of his hat. "I've always had a question...!"

"Oh?" Yan looked up at Steve and made a puzzled voice.

"How did I get chosen in the first place, I mean Erskine's experiment!"

"Didn't he tell you?"

Steve shrugged.

"Then go ask him!" Yan nodded, stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of him, and stepped in regardless of the astonished eyes around him.

The next moment the crowd in the hall was boiling, Steve lowered his hat again, and stepped into the aperture against the probing eyes of the people around him.

The space changes, resulting in a moment of dizziness, and when he wakes up, the scene in front of him makes Steve freeze in place.

Familiar environment!
It was the barracks 70 years ago, the same as it was then.It was raining lightly.Steve raised his hand to look, heaved a long sigh of relief, he was still wearing clothes 70 years later.

Subconsciously looking left and right, his eyes turned to the highland in the distance, which was Erskine's final resting place.Sure enough, Nightmare was standing there.

"I don't think I should go back to the past!" Steve stepped forward and stood behind Yan.

Yan was wearing a shabby black robe, heard the voice and looked over, and said something that made Steve dumbfounded.

"Are you...? Future Steve?"

Hearing the answer from the person in front of him, Steve's expression was very exciting.

"Hahahaha, I'm just kidding you! You're so scared..." Seeing Steve's wonderful expression, Yan couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

"Instructor, you really scared me." Steve squeezed out a smile with a stiff expression.

"Don't you want to go back to the past even in your dreams? Why? You don't want to anymore?" Yan suppressed his smile, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be contained no matter what.

"Think...but not now!" Steve looked at the ordinary sandbag in front of Nightmare.Inside is buried an extraordinary man, the man who created Captain America. "I think Erskine is happy."

"Why?" Yan lifted the hood of his robe, letting the breeze blow his hair wantonly.

"Because he saw your smile," Steve replied.

"Indeed...and my most perfect work." Yan nodded and added.Suddenly he joked again, "Hey, that's not what you said before."

"..." Steve looked over suspiciously.

"You said before that you failed Erskine's expectations, and he couldn't be happier!" Nightmare pointed out.

"That's not what I said." Steve waved his hand in denial.

"Steve, you've done a good job." Nightmare said seriously.

"Thank you!" Steve breathed a sigh of relief, sincerely grateful.

"I chose you. Do you... hate me?" Yan looked at the distant scenery, the military camp had been abandoned, and after an explosion, it became even more ruins.Different from the forest in the past, high-rise buildings are erected in a distant place, like a mirage that has passed through time.

After a long silence, Steve said, "You created me 70 years ago and gave me hope. Everything after 70 years is my own choice."

"I thought you would hate me for choosing you and bringing you pain." Xie said in a low voice. "I have also experienced the pain of living alone."

"I still have you, and the Avengers."

There was silence again, only the sound of the wind blowing the rain.The two are thinking about their own things.

"Tony and the others decided to sign that contract." Steve said hesitantly.

"Oh! I don't think you will be the one who was separated!"

"No, Wanda, Sam is against it." Steve nodded for confirmation. "Instructor, you..."

"Steve!" Yan interrupted what Steve wanted to say next. "Sorry, I can't and won't give you any opinion on this matter. You should understand why!"

Steve's expression darkened, he actually knew it very well in his heart, but he was a little unwilling, "I understand...!"

"Remember that time you went to rescue Bucky?" Yan turned around and looked at the school yard.

"Yes...follow your heart!" Steve pondered for a moment and said.

"I'm glad you still remember it!" Yan nodded, "Think about what your original intention is when you do something. It's... the original mentality."

Everything in front of my eyes became blurred, like a stone breaking the calm water.It is clear again that it is the bookstore lobby.Nightmare was still sitting on the ladder.

Steve looked around in surprise, there was no rain on his body, and what happened just now was like a dream.

"Don't look, I did go to that place just now, you see the sun is about to set." Yan smiled and pointed to the sun gate cast on the window.

"Okay! What a magical power." Steve shrugged helplessly.

"Go! Steve, face everything you should face, I will always be your backing."

Steve walked out of the door, stopped at the door and looked into the house. The small figure of Yan was hazy and looked very unreal.

Nightmare seemed to notice Steve's gaze, turned his head and smiled at him.This smile is so pure, like the birth of all things, peaceful and tenacious.

"I gave everything in this world, and I lost everything. Fortunately...she is still there, just like before. Instructor, I hope your smile will always be there." Steve turned around and looked at the strange man in front of him. People and things thought silently in their hearts.

"There is no eternity in the world, no one knows what the next moment will be. I am the same...!"
