[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Steve recovered faster than normal.On the morning that Joanna and Natasha went to Congress to fight, he just accepted the medical examination before being discharged from the hospital.Without the slightest surprise, he passed the medical examination.

It's a bit funny to say this, but during the period of waiting for the test results, Steve realized for a long time that he was nervous when he took the physical examination before joining the army.After many years, he once again felt what it was like to be a "weak person".

The first thing Steve did after packing up was text Joanna.

Steve: When do you guys finish?I will pick you up.

Joanna clicked on the SMS notification amid deafening applause.This text message, which was originally full of sweetness, has now become a burden in Joanna's eyes.From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to face Steve at this time.When the applause sounded, Joanna had the illusion that she had become a super villain.

After thinking again and again, Joanna replied with a somewhat cold message.

Joanna: Don't come.I'll find you when I'm done.

Steve: All right, be safe on the road.

Joanna put away her mobile phone, tried to put on an appearance of "I'm stable, I'm not panicking at all", greeted the members of the conference one by one, and then left the Capitol with Natasha.

In the elevator with only the two of them, Natasha finally found a chance to ask Joanna about her situation.

"are you OK?"

"You said you experienced such a magical scene just now? No, I'm not good. I even..." Joanna took a deep breath at the moment, "I don't even dare to speak now. What would be strange to you Do you feel? For example...do you think my words are very reasonable?"

Natasha raised her eyebrows lightly: "Fortunately, in my opinion, you are still you, and you have not become any dangerous person that needs to be paid attention to."

"Did I tell you that you're good at comforting people?"

"Now."

Joanna closed her eyes and sighed, "I think I need to keep my mouth shut. Maybe I shouldn't talk anymore."

Natasha stared at Joanna's distressed face for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

"I just remembered that when you were in the hospital that day, you still didn't recognize Lucifer and insisted that he was a liar."

"A guy who can't even look at things is worse than a liar!"

Natasha smiled, reached out and patted Joanna on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we can find a solution. This is always the case."

"Is it always like this?"

Natasha nodded: "Yes, it's always like this."

The elevator stopped on the second floor, and the door slowly opened in front of the two of them, but Joanna was still leaning against the wall of the elevator car, as if she was not ready to get off the elevator.

Natasha, who walked out of the elevator first, looked back at Joanna: "What's wrong?"

Joanna lowered her head: "Steve originally said he was coming to pick me up."

"Is he on his way?"

Joanna shook her head: "I refused. But I told him that I will go to him after my side is over."

"But you don't want to see anyone right now, you just want to go home and be alone, right?" Natasha looked at Joanna tenderly, "Listen, it's perfectly normal to think. You don't need to feel guilty Or blame yourself."

"But I have to face it, don't I? I have to explain to him how that crazy scene came about."

"Maybe, but it doesn't have to be today."

Joanna took a deep breath and raised her head: "No, it has to be today. Delay will do us no good."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

Joanna shook her head: "I can do it alone. After all, no one has said anything about me now."

Seeing that Joanna was still in the mood to joke, Natasha didn't insist anymore.

She drove Joanna to Steve's residence in Washington.When the car stopped, Natasha saw Steve walking past the window while packing his things.He seemed to have noticed Natasha and the others coming.So he took a few steps back, looked at the window again, and then turned around and walked towards the door.

Natasha turned her head and looked at Joanna: "Go ahead, if you delay any longer, he will come down to pick you up. Although I can bear it, I don't really like seeing other people show affection in front of me."

Joanna twitched the corners of her mouth and said goodbye to Natasha.

When Joanna went upstairs, she happened to meet Steve who had reached the stairs.When the two met, they were a little embarrassed at the first moment.But in comparison, Joanna looked much heavier.At first, Steve thought that Joanna was a little tired from dealing with those guys in Congress at the inquiry meeting, so he didn't think about the reason why Joanna was not in a good mood.He stood still on the corridor and smiled at Joanna: "It's all over?"

"ended."

"Have you had lunch yet?"

Joanna shook her head: "I came over there as soon as it was over. I haven't eaten yet."

Steve is inexperienced in love, but he is not a fool in love.Joanna sent the words to this purpose, and he continued naturally: "I haven't eaten it yet, can I make some?"

Joanna suppressed the dullness in her heart, and gave Steve a bright smile: "Okay."

Steve is worthy of being a good family man, and he can make any pan-fried cod look delicious.

Joanna, who had no appetite at first, felt a little...hungry when the food was brought to the table?

"Try it. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Joanna picked up the knife and fork, cut off a small piece of meat and put it into her mouth: "Steve, to be honest, I now know why you can take away the S.H.I.E.L.D. without any hesitation. You are no longer an agent, You can also be a chef!"

Steve laughed a little embarrassedly: "Last time you said I could be a painter."

Joanna ate another piece of meat, fixed her eyes on the food on the plate, and kept nodding: "Yes. And you are also a fitness trainer. How do you say that, if you don't know how to draw, it's not a good thing for a fitness trainer." Soldier."

Steve thought about Joanna's random nonsense for a while, and finally asked a little uncertainly: "What kind of new 21st century quotation is this?"

"Almost." Joanna continued to eat without raising her head.

Steve shook his head with a smile, and began to enjoy his food too.

"You know..." Steve fiddled with the cod on his plate with a fork, "This is the first time I've cooked for a girl."

Joanna's hand paused: "I'm a little afraid to eat what you said."

"what happened?"

"It's such a memorable meal, I should touch up my makeup." Joanna wrinkled her nose, looking remorseful, "I feel so bad."

Steve was a little embarrassed by Joanna, so he could only lower his head and hold back his smile: "Just laugh at me."

Joanna also lowered her head and continued to eat: "I didn't laugh at you, how could I laugh at you."

Steve stopped talking, just smiled and enjoyed the rare meal time with Joanna.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Joanna, who was always talking non-stop with him on weekdays, seemed... a little quiet today.Although Joanna was able to connect seamlessly when he started any topic, today's Joanna didn't take the initiative to talk to him about anything.Steve doesn't think the food he's cooking will make Joanna "shut up."

After realizing this slight abnormality, Steve began to pay special attention to Joanna's every move.

Then, he discovered that not only did Joanna not take the initiative to talk to him, but even her eyes never moved in his direction.

Considering that neither of them had eaten, Steve didn't point it out on the spot.After finishing eating and Steve tidied up the kitchen in silence, he leaned against the wall and looked at Joanna who was sitting on the sofa with her head down and playing with her mobile phone.

"Joanna."

Joanna didn't look up, but just gave a soft "hmm".Because it was too deliberate, Steve easily noticed the pretending indifference in that voice.

"Did something happen to Congress?"

Joanna couldn't pretend anymore. She held the right hand of the phone with her thumb slightly raised, but it never landed on the screen.She stared at the phone screen as if she were looking at a blank whiteboard.

Steve walked up to Joanna and sat down, taking the phone from her hand.Joanna's arm froze in the air for a while, and finally slowly dropped down.

"Will today's inquiry go well? Congress insists on keeping S.H.I.E.L.D.?" This is the most likely reason Steve can think of, "Joanna, even so, you don't need to be too..."

"No." Joanna interrupted Steve softly, "Today's questioning will go well. There will be no more S.H.I.E.L.D."

Steve thought for a moment, and then saw another possible reason for Joanna's depression.

"Did something special happen at the inquiry meeting? You... what Lucifer said..."

Joanna finally raised her head and looked at Steve with red eyes: "I don't know what happened. They suddenly...suddenly lost their minds. It's like...as if they were hypnotized. I didn't say anything about dissolving Congress or anything, I didn't say Congressional rubbish. But all of a sudden they're... I didn't want to mess them up. I'm just... I'm just pissed..."

Steve reached out and hugged Joanna in his arms, and patted her on the back gently to express comfort: "Okay, okay, I get it. It's not your fault."

Reassured by Steve, Joanna burst into tears with a "wow", because she had just had a meal and was very strong, and Joanna felt that she was full of energy even when she cried.

"I didn't know it was going to get that out of control. I didn't think it would turn out like that. I was just angry, I just wanted to reason with them. If S.H.I.E.L.D. was gone, my job would be gone, but I still I don't think S.H.I.E.L.D. should be kept anymore. But those people... those people are unreasonable. They have a job and they are unreasonable. They just want to keep the Avengers for themselves! I'm just angry! And they say I I'm in a relationship with you, so I can't speak for the Avengers!" Joanna cried aggrievedly, "Why! We didn't spend their money when we fell in love! Why should they care about me!"
