When Mary heard Maria's question, she was almost stupid. Seeing her with a narrow smile, she swallowed suddenly, recalling Maria's intentional introduction to Steven and Bucky just now. , Only now did she realize that it was due to Maria's misunderstanding. In an instant, Mary felt her ears becoming hot. She clenched the back of the chair and stammered, "I, no, no!"

Maria looked at the red-eared Mary with a smile on her face, and joked, "Oh, my dear, your eyes have betrayed you. Although you don't admit it, I can see that, um, It should be the taller guy who is more to your liking, the one called Steven, right?"

My God, Aunt Maria, what do you see?what my eyes!Mary looked at Maria's expression of "I got it right" speechless, sighed, and was about to deny it, but she remembered the task that Derek had given her, and remembered the hard work she had done in the past few days. Looking for it, my mind suddenly became a little confused, and I opened my mouth and said, "I..."

Maria looked at the embarrassed expression on Mary's face. She turned her head and glanced at the apples that were cooking on the fire. After adding a little water and reducing the firepower, she walked up to Mary and stretched out her arms to hold her Hugging her into his arms, he patted her on the back gently, and said softly: "Is there any problem? If I can help, please tell me?"

Mary lowered her eyes, stretched out her hand and gently hugged Maria back, and said softly: "I...Actually..." They were just my news topics, but she couldn't say it for some reason, she could only sigh In a calm tone, he said, "I don't need help."

Maria looked at her, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Really? But, you look like this..." She smiled and said, "Okay, it's okay, honey, can you be brave?"

Mary raised her eyes, and Maria looked at herself with an encouraging smile. She probably thought that she was embarrassing how to pursue the boy she liked, but what Mary was really embarrassing was completely different from what Maria thought.She gritted her teeth, but still did not tell Maria the truth.

"Okay, you can't help me if you stay in the kitchen, besides, that young man is not here, why don't you go to the activity room and peel apples with the children?" Maria gently pushed her arm, "Go!"

Mary glanced at Maria apologetically, and I will tell you the truth after I finish writing the manuscript, Aunt Maria!She thought so, watching Maria walk back to the stove, Mary turned her head, and slowly left the kitchen and returned to the activity room.

In the activity room, Steven and Bucky packed the sandwiches carefully, and occasionally the two exchanged a few words softly. Just as Steven had packed a box of sandwiches, he saw the little boy named Tommy holding a box of sandwiches. An apple, walked to the empty seat next to Steven, climbed up on the chair and knelt there, peeling the apple with a knife, and staring at him.

Steven raised his eyebrows slightly, worried that he would see his hand cut, pointed to the apple in his hand and said, "This is very dangerous, and it takes a little concentration to do things, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Tommy approached him and asked in a low voice, "Captain, where is your shield?"

Steven glanced at him, turned around and picked up a sandwich, smiled and didn't answer, but there was a glint of haze in his eyes.

Tommy didn't get an answer, looked at him with some disappointment, and said in a low voice: "Is it because you are carrying out a secret mission, so wearing a shield will reveal your identity?"

Bucky said to him, "You're right, kid!"

"My name is Tommy!" Tommy said solemnly to Bucky, "Tommy!"

"Okay, Tommy." Bucky laughed and glanced at Steven who was silent.

Tommy turned to Steven and asked again in a low voice, "Are you going to stay here for a long time?"

Steven closed the lid of the carton, looked up, thought for a moment, and said, "No, not for long."

Tommy nodded, put his head down and held the half-peeled apple, and said, "I think so!"

Steven turned his head to look at him, and found that Little Tommy's mood suddenly fell. He reached out and paused above his head, and finally landed on his thin back, patted him lightly and said, "However, this It doesn't mean you'll never see us again after we're gone."

Tommy looked up, looked at him puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

"This is our home," Steven said with a smile. "Brooklyn."

Tommy nodded half-understanding, and asked, "Oh, so you will go home, even if you leave here?"

"That's pretty much it! You're smart!" Bucky said, nodding.

Tommy looked at Steven with a solemn expression, and said, "In the future, when I grow up, I will also be a hero like you!"

When Steven heard the words, he showed a faint wry smile, and said, "Very good ideal, but before that, I think you should have other dreams, right?"

"Well, I want to be a doctor!" said Tommy.

"Why?" Bucky asked curiously.

"Aunt Maria is not in good health. Our place is too far away from the hospital. Every time she comes back from the hospital, she looks very tired. If I become a doctor, she won't have to travel so far, and she won't be so tired. Tired!" Tommy said innocently.

Steven looked at him, his eyes gradually filled with a smile, he stroked the child's back with his hand, and said, "You know what? In my opinion, being a doctor is greater than being a hero."

"Really?" Tommy asked with wide eyes in surprise, "do you think doctors are greater?"

"Yes!" Steven nodded affirmatively.

Tommy held the apple tightly, thought for a while, and said, "I will try my best!"

Bucky looked at Tommy for a while, then turned his eyes and met Steven's. He smiled and said, "Come on!"

Steven also laughed, and said to Tommy, "I believe you can realize this dream!"

Tommy laughed happily.

Steven withdrew his hand and just picked up a sandwich when he saw Mary walking into the activity room at an extremely slow speed. His eyes rested on her feet for a moment, he frowned slightly, and put the sandwich into the paper box.

Bucky noticed Steven's gaze and turned his head to take a look. He didn't say anything, and continued to work on what he was doing silently.

Mary took a quick look. Bucky and Steven were sitting facing each other, near the edge of the table, with the kids at the other end. There was an empty seat between Bucky and the kids, and between Steven and the kids. There were three empty seats in the room. Obviously, for Mary, who wanted to collect big ingredients, the most suitable seat was of course the one next to Steven, but unfortunately, that seat had already been taken by a little boy, The second most favorable position was next to Bucky. After hesitating for a moment, she walked up to the children and asked them how many apples and extra knives they wanted. An empty chair sat down.

Bucky turned to stare at her.

Mary showed a smile that she thought was very generous, and nodded to him.

Bucky turned his head blankly.

When Steven saw Mary, who had the courage to sit down, Bucky was so frightened that even her smile froze, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Bucky!"

Bucky raised his eyebrows and looked back at him, I didn't do anything!

Steven shook his head with a smile, and said to Mary, "Are you here to help too?"

Mary hummed, and said to Steven, "Aunt Maria asked me to come and peel apples."

Steven glanced at the apple in her hand and nodded.

Mary held an apple, hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice, "How did you come here to help?"

Steven raised his eyes, looked at Bucky, smiled and said, "For some reason."

Bucky turned his head, looked at Mary, and said, "This has nothing to do with you."

Mary clenched the knife in her hand, forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just curious!"

Bucky's eyes fell on her hand holding the knife tightly, and after a few seconds, he said coldly: "This kind of knife has very little lethality!"

Mary was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he had seen what was going on in her heart. To be honest, she was a little angry and impulsive just now, but she held back, didn't she?She showed a look of embarrassment, and almost without thinking, she blurted out: "You know what? A man like you who is so unfriendly to girls usually finds it difficult to find a girlfriend."

When Steven heard this, he burst out laughing out of character, and said, "I think she's right!"

Bucky glanced at her in surprise, then turned his face away, glared at Steven displeased, and remained silent.

Damn, I said the wrong thing!Will he be hunted down by the Winter Soldier?Does he have a bad expression now?Mary glanced at Bucky and said cautiously, "I..."

"Don't worry, he's not angry." Steven comforted gently, glanced at the sulking Bucky, couldn't help laughing again, and said, "Am I right? Bucky?"

Bucky tapped his fingers impatiently on the table a few times, and said, "Pack a sandwich!"

Steven smiled and said, "Okay!"

Tommy, who was listening to their conversation, looked up and asked Mary: "Sister Mary, why can't I find a girlfriend if I'm not friendly to girls?"

This... Mary choked.

Bucky gave Tommy an approving look, then turned to Mary, wanting to hear her explanation.
