[Zhongyingmei] At the end of time

There was a strong wind outside the window, the rain was torrential, and there were water marks all over the windows. When the weather suddenly turned cloudy in the afternoon, Bucky went out to find Steve, and said that it was a bachelor party tonight.Bucky's mother is commonplace, complaining to Luna after Bucky left, it's nothing more than a group of energetic boys of the same age singing and dancing in a bar together.

Luna sat on the bed and finished reading a book, then fumbled downstairs to get a glass of water.As soon as he picked up the cup, the door suddenly opened, and a figure staggered in.Luna was caught off guard by the chill outside and the strong smell of alcohol. She wanted to turn on the light, but the black figure walked straight up to her, stroked her hair, and said vaguely, "Call me Baba!" Brother Kei."

Luna was stung by the smell of alcohol and ducked back. Bucky grabbed her arm, and the rain fell drop by drop along his hair to the ground. He stood there motionless, his eyes shining in the darkness like Can shine.

Luna was stared at by him almost inexplicably guilty, and felt that his hand holding her arm was burning like a flame.

But Bucky suddenly sat down on the chair by the dining table and looked up at her innocently: "I'm hungry."

Luna breathed a sigh of relief, and turned on the lights in the dining room. The bright yellow light dispelled the emotions she didn't know where she came from. She asked, "Is it okay to boil milk?"

Bucky sat facing Luna with the back of the chair in his arms, and nodded when he heard the words, his expression was a little erratic.

When Luna looked back at the boiled milk, Bucky's chin rested on the back of the chair, his head was nodding, almost falling asleep.

Luna put the milk on the table, Bucky opened his eyes in a daze, drank the milk in one gulp, and stood up as if he was a little more awake.

Luna pointed to the white circle around his mouth because he drank too fast: "You here..."

Bucky grabbed her slender fingers and slowly painted a circle on his lips. Bucky's lips had the residual warmth of milk, hot and soft.Luna felt a hot current running from her toes to her throat, she stood stiffly, letting Bucky hold her fingertips to draw the line of his lips little by little.

Bucky kissed her finger lightly after wiping the milk on the corner of his mouth, Luna shivered and shook him off.

Bucky looked at her innocently like a little wolf dog, but his eyes shone with excitement like seeing prey.Luna didn't know why she was a little sad, she whispered "rest early" and went upstairs.

When going upstairs, she could clearly feel the scorching gaze behind her without turning her head. She walked faster and faster, and finally almost fled.

The next morning, the two behaved as usual, as if nothing had happened the night before, and Luna also had the right to think that Bucky drank too much, and suppressed that rainy night in the depths of her memory.

Although the flames of war have not yet reached Brooklyn, the tense atmosphere during the war has already infected here. Young people are not in the mood to study, they just want to join the army and serve the country.Sometimes when Luna is in the library, she doesn't see anyone reading a book for a day.

Those young big boys were walking on the street, and those who hadn't put on their military uniforms envied those boys who were arrogant and ostentatious in their military uniforms.They discussed the current situation loudly, shouting passionate and naive slogans that young people would say, such as joining the army and serving the country, completely unaware of the cruelty of the battlefield.

While Luna was reading, she looked up at the boys outside, wondering how many of them would survive to the end of World War II. The war between countries was a game in which these young lives were staked.

It was raining lightly outside, and the clock on the wall was at 5. Luna put away the book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" she was reading, locked the door of the library, opened her umbrella and walked into the rain.

When passing by an alley, she heard a familiar voice. She turned around and looked around. Two tall and tall people forced a familiar thin figure to the corner of the alley. One of them said: "You Will you never admit defeat?"

The thin man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "I can fight like this for a day."

Luna wanted to back out to find someone to help, but she walked into the alley with confidence that she didn't know where she came from. When she realized it, she was already standing in front of two men with fierce eyes. Luna returned Overcome, he gestured to Steve shyly: "Are you finished talking? I'm here to give him an umbrella."

Steve was shocked, and just as he was about to block Luna, one of the two reached out and grabbed Luna's wrist: "The little girl is very good-looking, why do you like such a... "

Before he finished speaking, Luna moved almost instinctively. She grabbed the man's wrist with her backhand, twisted and pushed, and the man staggered a few steps backwards and fell to the ground. Luna turned her head and Grabbing another man's collar, he bent his knees and pushed hard, and that man couldn't help but knelt on the ground and retched.

Steve, who wanted to be a hero to save the beauty once, maintained a half-step posture, with both horror and embarrassment on his face. Luna didn't expect that she could single out two big men, and was stunned for a moment.

While the two were digesting the scene in silence, the first person stood up staggeringly, and rushed towards Luna after cursing something. Luna didn't realize it for a moment and was pushed against the wall by the big man.

She subconsciously tapped the man's forehead with her index finger, but she suddenly had a splitting headache, not knowing why she did this.

Steve tried to pull the man away, but was pushed aside.Luna had such a headache that she could hardly stand up, and she couldn't help but slid down a little bit. The man held her by the collar: "Now you know how to be afraid?"

Luna couldn't speak, she felt as if she was in a vast galaxy, there were many fragments flying past her eyes, but she couldn't catch any of them, she couldn't see any of them clearly, the surrounding was pitch black, only the stars under her feet were bright It's hard to keep your eyes open.

Her pressure was suddenly released, the illusion disappeared, and she saw the man being pulled back a few steps, and Bucky's usually lively voice was so deep that she could hardly recognize it this time: "You only dare to hit women, you trash .”

Bucky punched the man in the face, and the man passed out without making a sound.

Steve walked up to Luna: "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Luna stood up straight, shook her head and felt a little more sober: "I'm fine, he didn't touch me, just a little dizzy all of a sudden."

Bucky also came over, didn't speak, and looked Luna up and down carefully, seeing that a guilty conscience suddenly surged in Luna's heart, but he just turned around and picked up the umbrella that Luna threw on the ground and handed it to Luna. Luna: "Let's go."

The two of them would pass by Steve's house on their way home, and the three of them would drop by along the way.Steve gestured all the way: "Bucky, you didn't see it just now, but Luna just twisted that guy and knelt on the ground..."

Bucky, who is usually in charge of activating the atmosphere, has unusually few words today, so Luna had to take over Bucky's usual job: "I have practiced before, and it's no problem to hit ten of them."

Steve laughed out of embarrassment, but Bucky still looked lost in thought.When Steve was there, he and Luna chatted in a harmonious atmosphere. After Steve came home, the atmosphere between the two suddenly became awkward.

Bucky did not open an umbrella. In fact, Americans often do not open an umbrella in rainy days. His hair was limply attached to his forehead. Luna couldn't see his expression clearly. She had a vague guess about his sudden change of mood, but I don't want to think about it.

The two walked in silence for a while, and it was Luna who spoke first: "What do you mean by only daring to hit women? You are discriminating against women."

Bucky reluctantly showed his first smile today: "Okay, okay, I apologize to women all over the world."

The next morning, Bucky, who usually went out later than her, went out with her. He smiled and said, "I want to borrow two books from the library. Do you have any recommendations?"

Luna did not delve into his anomaly, and chatted with him all the way. When he arrived at the library, he casually borrowed a copy of "The Little Prince." Luna was a little surprised and said, "What a coincidence, this is my favorite book."

Bucky was also a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "Then I have to read it seriously."

Luna thought the matter was over, but when she got off work, she opened the door and saw Bucky waiting at the door.

He was wearing a crisp jacket - Luna bought him after paying his first month's salary, leaning against the Roman column in the library, the setting sun cast a long shadow on the ground, like a stroke Outlined as neatly.

Luna felt slightly dizzy, as if she was in a retro movie. The young knight hadn't experienced the decline of the dynasty, and his eyes still had sincerity. He came all the way to meet the princess and offered her the oath of never betraying .

Luna looked into Bucky's blue-green eyes and asked, "Why do you want to come here again?"

Bucky straightened up and took Luna's handbag naturally: "Come and return the book."

Luna said: "Why didn't you say it earlier, I just locked the door, then I..."

Bucky interrupted her and said lightly, "It's okay, then I'll pay it back tomorrow morning."

Luna suddenly understood that Bucky was teasing her.Like the girlfriends before him, he's looking for an opportunity to drop her off to and from get off work, and then they'll hang out, see exhibits together, maybe kiss if their personalities match, and break up after a few months with no regrets.

Luna felt as if she had been stripped naked and thrown on the beach, and she had a sad stomachache.She stood there with a pale face, feeling that she was almost unable to stand.

You have always been special, Luna thought in a trance, how can you treat me like they are, we...

Bucky stepped forward and asked with concern, "What's the matter, are you feeling unwell?"

Luna stared into Bucky's eyes, and they were so close that Bucky could even see the faint red around the outermost circles of Luna's dark brown eyes.

Luna knew that her sadness was unreasonable. She was just a tenant in Bucky's house, maybe a friend of Bucky's. How could she feel that she must be special to Bucky.

She suppressed her tumbling emotions and said to Bucky, "It's okay, let's go."
