Marvel's Fantasia

Cynthia kept her word, recuperating for a week, and when Steve's injury was healed, she started running with him by the lake.

However, because Cynthia seldom exercises, her physical strength is at the level of a normal girl.Not to mention the thin Steve, although the other party said that he could persevere, but she couldn't!

So Cynthia, who originally planned to run every day, changed her plan to run once every four days.The two persisted for two months. After their physical fitness improved, Cynthia changed to running once every three days.

Time passed like this day by day, the green leaves slowly turned yellow and fell off, the earth was covered with silver frost, and the breath exhaled from the mouth became visible to the naked eye.

Since December 12, because the sky started to snow, Cynthia has suspended her exercise plan, and it is not appropriate to go out for a run at this time.

Today was Monday, and it was Cynthia's turn to rest. After breakfast, she went to Steve's house, and they went back to her house together in the evening.Yes, the weather turned cold, and she asked Steve to come and live again, and this time Steve readily agreed.

In the living room, Steve was seriously practicing boxing, while Cynthia nestled comfortably on the sofa, casually flipping through the book in her hand.

"...Recently, the University of Chicago responded to a question about the progress of the controlled nuclear reaction test..."

"...Yesterday, the Imperial Japanese Navy raided our naval military base, bombed warships and military targets at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and fired torpedoes at our battleships and cruisers. Our troops were defenseless and woke up to the bang of the explosion , hastily defending itself, during which time the Japanese sank four battleships and two destroyers, destroyed 188 aircraft, and damaged even more buildings, ships, and aircraft. About 2400 Americans were killed in the attack, and another 1250 people were injured..."

The news being broadcast on the radio stopped the movement of both of their hands, and Steve turned up the volume so that they could hear better.

"...This attack represents Japan's formal declaration of war on our country. At 9 o'clock this morning, President Roosevelt issued a speech and statement. The military base was attacked by the Japanese army. We must remember this shameful day! The president will sign the Japanese Empire today. A formal declaration of war..."

After Steve and Cynthia listened to the news, the originally pleasant afternoon had become solemn.

Two weeks passed in such a solemn atmosphere. One week before Christmas, on December 12, Nazi Germany and Italy also declared war on the United States, and the United States immediately responded by declaring war.

It's Christmas again, but because of the coming of the war, the festive atmosphere is not strong.

"Come on, Steve, eat more," Annie put a big chicken drumstick on Steve's plate, "It's cold, you need to eat more, you've lost weight after exercising with Cynthia recently."

Steve smiled and thanked him again and again, which made Cynthia depressed: "Annie, can I accompany him to exercise? And should you change your reading glasses? I'm the one who is obviously skinny. Can you get a little fatter?"

Annie patted Cynthia's hand: "Are you losing weight too? Then eat more pumpkin pie. Come, I'll get you some more food."

Steve smiled and nodded: "That's right, Cynthia has lost weight, so she should make up more."

Cynthia looked at the two people who teased her, and pretended to be angry: "Why can I only eat pie when he eats meat? No, I want to eat meat too!"

In this way, the Christmas dinner in 1941 came to an end in a warm atmosphere.

At noon the next day, Cynthia, who had eaten, was nestled on the sofa, and the sun was shining on her body, making her very comfortable and not wanting to move.

When Steve came to the living room, he saw Cynthia basking in the sun with his eyes closed. He walked over with light steps and looked at her sleeping face, with long reddish-brown hair casually draped over her chest.He sat beside her, not intending to wake her up, but the movement of sitting down still made Cynthia open her eyes.

Seeing the other party wake up, Steve said, "Cynthia, I have something to tell you."

Cynthia, who just took a nap, was a little confused: "Huh? What's the matter?"

Steve: "I'm going to join the Army when the weather warms up."

"Okay, wait, what did you say?! What are you going to do?!" Cynthia thought she had heard it wrong.

Steve: "I'm going to join the army, Cynthia."

Cynthia: "Why?"

"I wanted to go last year, Cynthia, but I just didn't find the opportunity," Steve said seriously, "And now our country is also involved, Germany declared war on us, and the military department should start conscription next year, I think Go and try."

Cynthia was at a loss: "But, can you meet the conditions for joining the army?" It should be brushed off.

"Cynthia, you have to know that whether a person's body is strong or not does not represent his ability, and," Steve said, "there will always be a shortage of people. At that time, even children will be recruited. If I can Doing your part can also reduce casualties."

Cynthia really wants to persuade Steve to let go of this idea, because it is not up to him to decide whether to live or die on the battlefield. How many people can come back safely?There will be countless casualties in the struggle between two countries alone, let alone this kind of war involving multiple countries?

It's not that she belittles the other party. Steve's appearance is not much different from his middle school days, and he has grown a little taller. However, at 1.65 meters, he doesn't feel prominent standing next to him at 1.61 meters.

But at this moment, looking at the firm-minded Steve, she couldn't say what she was persuading.She only felt that the thin figure in front of her had become extremely tall.

No wonder!
