Julie room.

When Steven hung up Andrew's phone and looked up again, he found Mary's figure disappeared in the corridor. He quickly walked in the direction she left, and found that the room she had told him earlier belonged to Zhu. The door of Li's room was wide open. He went to the door and looked inside, but he didn't see Mary.

The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, making the whole room extremely dark. The light from the corridor was thrown into the room, and it only illuminated a small area at the door. Steven squinted slightly and scanned the room. There is a double bed covered with a dust cloth in the center of the room, and a sofa and a small round table are placed by the window.He reached out and touched the wall inside the door, and when he touched a switch, he pressed it without hesitation.

In an instant, the room was brightly lit, and a small crystal lamp hung on the ceiling emitting a bright light.

"Turn off the lights!" said Mary hoarsely.

Steven looked towards the source of the sound and saw Mary, to be precise, half of Mary's head.She faced the window and leaned against the mattress, her whole body curled up on the floor, only her head was above the level of the bed. When the light came on, she buried her head between her knees and hugged her tightly. My own body, whispering: "Turn off the lights! Let me be quiet!"

Steven was silent for a while, then turned off the light in the room as he said, walked slowly to Mary and stood still, staring at her quietly for a long time, remembering what Andrew said on the phone just now, Mary stood in Fox On the stairs of the orphanage, the scene of crying silently in front of the group photo reappeared in his mind. He looked down at Mary who was curled up for a long time, and slowly squatted in front of her, stretching out his hand to rest on her shoulders. Said softly on the shoulder: "Andrew said that he will continue to investigate, so don't worry."

Mary didn't move when she heard the words, but hugged herself even tighter, and said sullenly, "Go away, let me be quiet."

Steven looked at her, thought for a moment, and said, "Hey, you know that, don't you? I've been looking for Bucky, both since I knew he wasn't dead, and now that he's been retaken by Hydra. After that, I have been looking for him. I think, I can understand your mood. "

Mary raised her head abruptly, stared at Steven in front of her, and said coldly, "Don't mention your Bucky, Julie's disappearance is not the same as your Bucky, you won't understand how I feel!"

Steven was not offended by Mary's sarcastic remarks, he looked at her mildly and said, "No, I understand."

Mary snorted and laughed, and said, "Come on! You're Captain America, you can track him down, even if you can only run around after your Bucky ass, but at least you know him I’m still alive, alive and well! What about me? Ever since Julie disappeared, I’ve tried everything I can, even for her…” She laughed at herself for a long time because she was a hunter like her father. He said in a low voice: "However... what's the use of that? I don't even know whether she is dead or alive!"

Steven stared at Mary who buried her head between her knees again, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Well, I have to admit that I'm not very good at comforting people, if what I said just now made you even more sad, It's my fault, please forgive me? I just hope you can cheer up!"

cheer up?Mary didn't answer. She didn't want to lose control of her emotions in front of Steven, but she couldn't help herself.From the time Derek ordered her to find Captain America, until Mark was robbed and seriously injured, the strings in her mind were tense for a long time. Unexpectedly, for the first time in more than three years, she had Clearly looking for Julie's clues, but it broke, and she felt that the strings in her mind were also broken. This was like the last straw, which completely crushed and crushed her.

Steven looked at Mary who hadn't responded for a long time, sighed, and simply sat down cross-legged in front of her.

The two sat facing each other on the floor of Julie's room. The room was so quiet that only the sound of Mary's rapid breathing and the patter of rain outside the window could be heard.

Steven stared at Mary for a long time, and found that her whole body was trembling slightly. He frowned, leaned slightly close to her, and said softly, "Hey, Mary, are you okay?"

Mary didn't answer him, but trembled to herself.

Steven stretched out his hand to check her hand, and was shocked, the girl's hand was not warm at all, it was as cold as ice!Without thinking, he took off his coat, put it on her body, wrapped her tightly in the coat, and looked at her worriedly.

Mary, who was immersed in messy thoughts, was awakened by the sudden coat on her body, and raised her head. This coat with Steven's body temperature and smell was tightly wrapping her, making her chills feel a little better. At this point, she did not refuse Steven's kindness, grabbed the collar of the jacket with both hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you." After speaking, she met Steven's concerned eyes, and for some reason, tears finally stopped at that moment She fell down, took off her glasses and threw them on the ground, tightened Steven's clothes, and burst into tears.

Steven was taken aback, Mary's crying made him a little helpless, he thought for a while, and persuaded in a low voice: "You... Hey, don't cry, okay? It's okay, everything will be fine!"

"No, it won't get better!" Mary broke down and cried, covering her face, "Julie...she" has been more than three years old, can she still be found?No, I can't find it, she knows, she just doesn't want to believe it!Just unwilling to stop this hopeless search!

Steven sighed deeply, saw Mary crying, and sat down on the mattress beside her silently, turned his head to look at the crying Mary who was holding him, and stretched out his right arm silently. Arms, wrapped her shoulders carefully, and said in a low voice: "Okay, okay, don't cry, everything will be fine, I promise!"

Mary wiped her tears vigorously, shook her head violently, and said with a sob: "No...you can't promise...it won't be better, never again"

Steven looked helplessly at her shaking her head desperately, touched her cheek with his right hand to stop her from shaking her head, looked at her and said in a deep voice: "Listen, Mary, I will help you find Julie, don't worry , we can find her! Surely we can!"

Mary looked up at Steven blankly. He said so firmly that a faint hope was rekindled in her heart. She asked, "Really?"

"Of course!" Steven nodded firmly.

"But!" Mary sniffled with a distrustful look in her eyes, "You even have a 5-minute time difference to find your Bucky, don't you?"

Steven heard the words and said dumbfoundingly: "That's because Bucky has received professional training and can almost perfectly avoid the search of me and Natasha. The time difference of 5 minutes is the most accurate positioning we can achieve so far."

Mary remained silent, tears gradually stopped, and the sadness in her heart slowly receded deep in her heart along with the rekindled hope in her heart. She sniffed her nose in a very disfigured way. This burst of crying made her originally Her already exhausted body suddenly felt like it was collapsing, she leaned against Steven weakly, and whispered, "I'm sorry, let me lean on your shoulder for 5 minutes! I" can't hold it anymore!Before she could finish speaking, Mary closed her eyes heavily.

Steven looked down at Mary, who was leaning against his shoulder, and carefully leaned towards her slightly so that she could lean more comfortably. With his right hand unconsciously, he pulled her into his arms .

Mary didn't reject his movements, but followed his embrace, stretched out her arms to wrap around his lean waist, and sighed.

Steven was slightly surprised to find her falling asleep so quickly.However, he immediately thought that Mary might have been worried since knowing about Mark's accident last night, and she hadn't sat down to rest properly. He stared down at Mary in his arms, because the room was dimly lit and he couldn't see her clearly. With her sleeping face at this moment, she can only rely on her body that is leaning on her but can't help but twitch slightly, and feel that this girl is not very stable in her sleep.He unconsciously reached out and stroked her hair, and turned his head to look directly at the tightly covered curtains, thoughtfully.

After more than ten minutes, Mary's whole body twitched suddenly, and she opened her eyes in shock.

Startled by Mary's sudden twitch, Steven hugged her subconsciously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mary looked up at him blankly, dazed for a few seconds, and then she woke up and realized that she was being held by Steven in his arms, and her body froze for a moment.

Steven felt her froze instantly, let go of her hand slightly, looked at her and said, "Is it better now?"

With a hoarse voice, Mary said, "It should be better, right? Maybe." Her voice was still deeply tired, and she said slowly, "Sorry, my attitude towards you was not so... friendly just now. "

"It's okay, I understand." Steven said, "Don't worry about it."

Mary nodded, and retreated from his arms pretending to be calm. After sitting up straight, she gathered Steven's coat on her shoulders.There was a scent on his clothes that she smelled when she was leaning against his arms, and it didn't smell offensive. On the contrary, this faint smell brought her an invisible sense of security, and she gradually calmed down.She raised her eyes to look at Steven, the light from the corridor cast into the room, faintly illuminating Steven's face, at this moment, he was staring at her intently, the light and shadow made his eyes deep and dark, she lowered her eyes and said: "I don't want to lose anyone again."

"I understand." Steven nodded and said softly, "Trust me!"

Mary raised her eyes, looked at him, frowned slightly, and said, "I..."

Steven stretched out his hand and said to her, "Trust me!"

Mary stared at him for a long time, looking down at the hand he stretched out in front of her, believe it?
