[Zhongyingmei] At the end of time

When Luna woke up, she found herself lying in an alley, surrounded by darkness, only a large and almost abnormal moon hanging in the sky, and a faint light red circle outside the huge yellow circle of light cast a cool radiance .

She barely supported herself to sit up, but her body didn't hurt too much, but she just had a splitting headache.She recalled what happened before she woke up. She worked hard as a graduate student in the United States for two years, and finally finished her studies and returned to China. However, the plane back home had a problem. Her last memory.

Luna shook her head, a little unclear about the current situation. Logically speaking, the survival rate after an air crash is extremely low, so she is saved now?

Luna leaned against the corner and thought about the next countermeasures. Looking at the graffiti on the wall, she is still in the United States, so she still needs to contact the embassy first. Fortunately, she is an orphan and has no family to worry about. The big friend who played together called Baoping, I don’t know if she would be worried... What is the name of the friend?She buried her head in her knees, feeling that her head was hurting even more, and many memories were blurred. It should have been half a month before she graduated, but she could hardly remember the appearance of her tutor, as if those things It's been like many years.

When Luna was struggling with her head, two people's footsteps came from the end of the alley, and a young voice said, "My key must have fallen here during the fight at noon."

Another voice sounded more energetic: "If you call a unilateral beating a fight...well, well, you look over there, I'll look over here."

Luna raised her head and glanced at the two people. It happened that the first person who spoke also saw her, and walked over after a moment of hesitation.

The man was so emaciated that he hardly looked like an American known for its extremely high obesity rate. His eyes were clear and his tone was a bit cramped: "Hi, I mean, do you need help?"

Luna smiled politely: "Hello, my plane crashed before, can I borrow your mobile phone to use it? I want to contact the Chinese embassy."

The man looked blank, as if Luna had said some drunken nonsense.Luna thought he didn't believe her, so she checked the pockets of her trousers to prove that she really didn't bring anything.When she put her hand into her pocket, she found something wrong—the pants were not hers.Her heartbeat almost stopped suddenly, she lowered her head, and it turned out to be pants and sneakers she had never seen before.Luna's fingers trembled a little, and there was only one thought left in her mind: it's over, it's over, she was probably raped when she fainted.

At this time, the person said as if he had just realized: "What is a mobile phone? Also, China and the United States have not established diplomatic relations, so how can there be an embassy?"

Luna felt her head hurt even more, and she could hardly reflect what the man said. At this time, another person came over: "Are you feeling unwell?"

The moon hung low in the sky behind the two of them, and Luna could clearly see the face of the man behind him. There was a hint of a smile on his round doll face, and the blue-green eyes were full of gentleness and youthfulness of a gentleman. publicity.

Luna stayed on the spot, and the person in front of her gradually merged with the image on the screen.Later people knelt down and held out their hands: "Hello, my name is James Barnes, my friends call me Bucky, this is Steve."

Luna stretched out her hand and shook him dumbfoundedly: "My name is Luna." After she finished speaking, she looked up at the little man standing there, but she still couldn't recognize that it was the famous Captain America in the future.

Bucky squatted patiently and asked her, "Are you lost?"

Luna looked at him, she didn't know why her heart was so sad, she was almost on the verge of tears, and she had a sense of destiny that she had finally found him again after going round and round.It was as if the young man squatting in front of her had met and known her in the torrent of time, but she didn't hold his hand later, and the two finally separated in the long river of time.

Luna couldn't help blurting out: "We've met."

Bucky froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I was really rude for not asking the name of such a beautiful girl like you last time."

Their stories started with the same sentence in different timelines.

Anyway, Bucky and Steve couldn't let Luna, a penniless girl with some mental problems, live on the street.Steve's mother was on night shift that day, so the two took Luna to their original destination - Bucky's house.

Bucky's parents were friendly, and they didn't ask Luna any personal questions.After dinner, Bucky's mother took Luna to the guest room: "I put two sets of my previous pajamas in the closet, take a good bath, kid, you look exhausted."

Luna thanked her and walked into the bathroom with her pajamas in her arms. She slowly took off her clothes in front of the mirror. After accepting the setting of time travel, she began to look at this strange body.

The height is about less than 170, which is still higher than the 165 in the previous life. The eye sockets are deep, the skin is white, the hair and eyes are dark brown, and the appearance of a standard American girl.

Luna raised the corners of her mouth, and the person in the mirror also raised her mouth. She sighed and thought a little tiredly: I don't know what happened to the original owner of this body. If she is still alive, I hope she is all right.

Bucky and Steve are social idlers who just graduated from high school and work around. Steve needs to earn money because of poor family conditions, while Bucky is purely full and looking for something to do—at least Luna thought so, especially when she woke up the next morning and had a clear understanding of the size of the two-story building where Bucky's family of three lived.

Although Luna still had a headache, it didn't prevent her from thinking clearly that living in Bucky's house was not a long-term solution.As she bid farewell to Bucky's parents, Bucky's mother squinted at her: "Can you cook?"

Luna replied blankly: "I don't know many American dishes, but if I usually cook by myself, there are more Chinese dishes."

Bucky's mother let out a "huh": "It's a surprise, I like Chinese food very much. Where are you going?"

Luna said: "Find a part-time job to earn some money, and then go back to China...to China."

Bucky's mother said to the point: "Now China is raging with war, what are you going to do? Fighting?"

Luna thought in a trance: Yes, the World War II is not over yet, and the land of China is devastated. She is neither Qian Xuesen, who is worth five divisions, nor a super soldier like Captain America. She majored in landscape architecture in college. Use, plant trees?Besides, none of the people I met before returning to China were born, but I can chat and laugh with my friend's grandfather—if there is a friend in this time and space.

Bucky's mother continued with a smile: "The district library has been recruiting part-time administrators, because there are fewer people who are willing to work in the library during wartime. Everyone is impatient and wants to fight, but they don't know how to fight. What's the point?"

Steve, who came to Bucky's for breakfast, couldn't help but say, "Wars are for..."

Bucky's mother raised an eyebrow and glanced at Steve, successfully making Steve quietly hide aside and wash the dishes, which gave Luna a new understanding of Bucky's mother's intimidating power.

Bucky's mother turned around and made a final decision: "Live at my house. You will be in charge of breakfast and dinner in the future. I will take you to the district library to find a job later."

Then he looked at Luna who seemed to want to refute but didn't know where to start: "Come hug me now, and then prepare to go out in a while."

Shocked, Luna obediently walked up to her and kissed her: "Thank you very much, ma'am."

Bucky's mother took Luna and Bucky, whose job was in vain, to the district library, and quickly got the job smoothly. After walking out of the library gate, Bucky's mother calmly issued orders: "Bucky You go and take Luna to buy some clothes and daily necessities, I have an appointment for coffee with my friend."

Luna quickly said: "No need, how can I..."

Before she finished speaking, Bucky cut off the conversation: "Just take it as my apology for not remembering your name last time, and buy me a jacket when you pay the first month's salary." Well, I've wanted a jacket for a long time."

Luna looked at the rows of dark-colored women's clothing that were mainly practical because it was wartime, and reluctantly licked the corners of her mouth to look at the few that looked good, wishing to poke her eyes.

Bucky has fully demonstrated the talent of the little Brooklyn prince. First, he got close to the boss. After the boss asked "Which female partner did you bring here?" and him "Hahaha don't talk nonsense, This is my sister." In the pleasant atmosphere, he accurately pulled out a light blue dress from a pile of honey-yellow khaki-gray skirts and handed it to Luna: "Would you like to try this, I think blue and You deserve it."

Luna silently took the dress that undoubtedly crushed all the clothes in the store in terms of appearance, feeling once again that the Little Prince of Brooklyn deserved her reputation.

The two went to buy some other daily necessities. When they finally passed by a lingerie store, Luna slowed down a little. Before she could speak, Bucky said considerately: "I'll go to the store next door, and I won't give up. I'll accompany you in, just come and find me after you finish shopping."

Luna felt for the umpteenth time in her heart that Bucky is really an old driver in just one morning. She couldn't help but said to Bucky: "I'm 23 years old."

Bucky's face is full of question marks. It's because Luna's student spirit is too obvious. At first glance, she looks like a student who just came out of the campus and hasn't been tortured by society. Bucky, who is always fooling around outside, looks more mature than her. A lot, which is why Bucky mistook Luna for being younger than her.

Luna patted Bucky on the shoulder like a little wolf dog: "Don't call me your sister when you go out, you should call me sister." Like a child, he walked back into the underwear shop with a smile on his face.

Looking at Luna's back, Bucky smiled helplessly and tolerantly, raised his hand to block the sun, and sighed in his heart out of nowhere, the sky in Brooklyn hasn't been so blue for a long time.

Brooklyn skies haven't been this blue in decades since.
