[Comprehensive British and American] Super Mario

Mary stared at Steven's hand for a long time, so long that Steven thought she would no longer respond to his words, she suddenly raised her hand, and slowly stretched towards his hand, but , Just when her hand was about to fall into his, the music that Steven was beginning to be familiar with sounded in the room. It was the ringtone of Mary's cell phone.

Mary immediately withdrew her hand and reached into her pocket to get the phone. When she took out the phone and saw the caller on the screen, she couldn't help but startled. It was Zach's call.She smiled apologetically at Steven and got on the phone.

Zach heard the phone being picked up on the other end, and quickly said, "How is Mark?"

Mary asked in confusion, "You know that too?"

"Yes, the news is out, don't you know?" Zach asked, he paused, and said, "However, I learned about it from your colleague Tom."

"Oh, is that so? This matter actually made the news? But, I didn't see any reporters?" Mary asked suspiciously.

Zach didn't answer her, just said lightly: "Do you need help? Perhaps, transferring Mark to New York Hospital will be more beneficial to his injury."

"Uh, he...it's okay, he's fine." Mary rubbed her eyes, remembering that she dropped her glasses on the floor just now, and reached out to touch the floor.

Zach didn't seem to believe it, and he asked, "Really? Mary, you don't need to be polite to me!"

Steven reached out and picked up the glasses and handed them to Mary.

Mary smiled at him, took the glasses and put them on, and said to Zach, "I'm not being polite to you. Mark is fine now and doesn't need to be transferred."

"In that case, when do you plan to come back?" Zach asked.

"I have asked for three days' leave. Counting from today, I should return to New York later the day after tomorrow." Mary replied, after thinking for a while, she asked, "What's wrong? Do you need me?"

"No, no." Zach was silent on the other end, and said, "The Odyssey matter has come to an end, I was... Forget it, I will talk about it when you come back!"

Mary asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by closing a paragraph?"

"It doesn't matter, you come back the day after tomorrow, right?" Zach asked.

"Hmm! That's right." Mary still felt a little puzzled, and Zach couldn't hear anything in his voice, and she didn't know how he was feeling, but anyway, it wasn't a good mood anyway.She thought about it, and said, "Don't make yourself work hard, Zach."

"I know, well, that's it! See you the day after tomorrow." Zach hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Steven stared at Mary, who should be familiar with the man on the phone, and it was clear from her relaxed expression that he turned his eyes away from her.

Mary held the phone in silence for a while, then turned to look at Steven beside her, and said a little out of words, "I have a lot of calls today, right?"

Steven looked back at her and said, "That's your friend too?"

"What? Ah, you mean Zac?" Mary pointed to the phone and smiled, "Yes, a very good friend. In a sense, he is also my family. I have to say that someone as outstanding as him My friend, I've always felt like I got lucky."

"So, what about me?" Steven asked suddenly.

Mary was stunned, thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "I'm not sure, we are friends, but you are also very good. Of course, your excellence and Zach's excellence are reflected in different places."

"I see, I thought we were friends already." Steven said, "Isn't it?"

Mary laughed and said, "Oh, thank you for being my friend, it's an honor." Just as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of a car engine coming from outside the house. "It sounds like they are here!" She jumped up Walking to the window, he opened the curtain and took a look, "It's indeed Mark and Ashley."

Steven watched Mary go out quickly, he stood up and walked to the window, saw a black car stopped in the open space outside the wooden house through the gap in the curtains, he turned and walked out of Julie's room.

outside the house.

Mark opened the car door and got out of the car, took out a crutch from the car seat and propped it on the ground, smiled and saw Mary who came out of the cabin to meet them.

Mary walked up to him, put her hand on his arm and said doubtfully, "What's the matter with this crutch? Aren't you all right?"

Mark winked at her and said, "Oh, of course, of course it's all right."

Ashley got out of the car and said helplessly, "Mark, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to pretend!"

Mark said with a smile: "Oh, I just want to feel the character of an English gentleman."

"Walking on crutches is not a patent for British gentlemen." Mary smiled and snatched the crutches from his hand.

Ashley walked up to the father and daughter, nodded in agreement and said, "Did you hear that?"

Mark shrugged nonchalantly, reached for Ashley's hand and said, "Okay, okay, I hear you."

Ashley turned her head and saw Steven coming out of the house. She smiled and said, "Oh, Steven! Are you here?"

Steven was startled, nodded, and immediately looked at Mark. It seems that he didn't tell Ashley his identity?

"Come in?" said Mary.

Mark nodded, winked at Steven, and was helped in by Mary.

Ashley turned around and took out a bag of luggage from the back seat of the car.

Steven stepped forward and took the luggage from her hand and said, "I'll do it!"

"Oh, okay, thank you, Steven." Ashley closed the car door with a smile, "But, did you go to class?"

Steven glanced at her silently, and said with some hesitation: "I, actually"

"Didn't you go to class?" Ashley smiled at his embarrassed face, reached out and patted his arm, "Don't do that next time!"

"I... Ashley." Steven thought for a while and said, "I am not Mark's student."

Ashley didn't show any surprise when she heard the words, she still smiled, nodded, and said, "I know."

"You know?" Steven looked at her in surprise, "Did you know that I'm not Mark's student since last night?"

"Oh, no, I'm not Sherlock Holmes." Ashley smiled and shook her head, put her hand on his arm, led him to the cabin, and said as she walked, "When I knew you knew my Mary , I realized that you are not Mark's student, but although you lied to me, it was a white lie, wasn't it?"

"Thank you for not blaming me." Steven said with some shame.

"Of course I won't blame you, but I'm curious, what kind of occupation are you doing?" Ashley turned her head and looked up at him, "Aren't you busy at work? After all, you've been with me all night, now Still with Mary..."

When Steven heard this, he stopped involuntarily. He turned his head and looked back at Ashley, and said in a slightly lower voice, "I don't have a job."

Ashley was taken aback, nodded and said, "Oh, so you have plenty of time, right?"

Steven smiled.

"Mom? Are you going to get in the rain outside?" Mary helped Mark in, and then came back to them.

Ashley held out her hand to Mary and said, "Come here, honey."

Mary grabbed Ashley's hand, and seeing her expression seemed to be brewing, she glanced at Steven, what did you say to my mother?

Steven shrugged innocently, nothing!

Mary raised her eyebrows, then why don't you go in?

Steven laughed and said to Ashley, "I'll take the things in first!" After speaking, he walked into the wooden house with his hands lightly.

Ashley watched Steven's figure disappear through the door, touched Mary's arm, walked slowly towards the house with her, and said softly: "Steven is a very good boy, you can't bully him! "

Mary was taken aback, and then she showed her usual sweet smile to Ashley, and said, "Mom, isn't it fair for you to say that? Do you think he can be bullied by me?"

Ashley glared at her and said, "Don't pretend you don't understand!"

"Okay, okay! I understand, but he and I are just friends." Mary sighed and said, "Please don't get me wrong, I really have nothing to do with him!"

Ashley glanced at Mary, her eagerness to get rid of it made her firm her mind, and said, "If you like him, no matter what kind of person he is, we will not object."

Mary shook her head and smiled wryly, "Mom...do you know who he is? It's impossible for me and him!"

Ashley asked strangely, "Who is he?"

"Captain America, Steven Rogers," Mary said, "do you understand now?"

Ashley looked at her in surprise, and said, "Is that why you said it's impossible? Just because he's Captain America?" She paused, her face changed, "Wait, honey, you said he who is it?"

"Steven Rogers." Mary looked at Ashley helplessly, "Captain America."

Ashley said in shock: "Captain America? Wasn't he born at the time... Wait, then, in this way, he is more than 70 years older than you? No wonder you say it's impossible. Is it because you despise him? Too old? Oh, so you can't accept a man who is actually in his 90s? But he looks young, doesn't he?"

Mary looked at Ashley blankly, speechless.This... talent, mom, you are really a talent!What kind of brain circuit does it take to think of this?

"Hey, what are you mother and daughter whispering about?" Mark walked to the door and shouted at Mary and Ashley. "Come on in! I don't want you two talking bad about me outside the house!"

Ashley patted Mary's hand and said, "You go in first! I forgot the food in the trunk."

"I'll get it!" said Mary.

Ashley didn't object, and handed her the car keys, "There are two big bags in the trunk, you take them all in!"

Mary turned and walked toward the car.
