[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Joanna had to say that she underestimated Captain America's fighting power.By the time she woke up from the Santa Monica hotel the next day with back pain, she knew that Steve was someone she couldn't afford.When it's time to admit it, you have to admit it, and you can't think that you can hold the scene just because she has more experience in love than him.As it turns out, experience sometimes... just doesn't work as well as physical fitness.

It was almost noon when Joanna barely got out of bed.The breakfast Steve brought home from the hotel became brunch.Even so, Joanna still ate deliciously, just like Steve last night.

Sitting opposite each other afterwards seemed peaceful and beautiful to both Steve and Joanna.If... Joanna could talk and communicate normally, Steve would be more satisfied with all this.

Obviously, Joanna was really moved by Steve's confession yesterday, but it was obviously not enough to persuade Joanna to give up the established "speaking silence plan" and let go of her anxiety in front of Steve.

"So, until you can completely control your lying tongue, are you going to keep silent like this?" Steve added some juice to Joanna, and wiped off the jam that Joanna accidentally rubbed on her cheek.

Joanna nodded, then held up her phone.

——I think we will find a way soon.

Steve lowered his eyes: "I'm just worried about you."

Joanna smiled.

—I can handle it.Like every time you take on those villains.

Steve was about to smile and praise Joanna when the phone on the table rang.

Natasha: Someone found him in Romania.

Steve frowned slightly.

Joanna looked at him worriedly, and as soon as Steve raised his head, he met Joanna's worried gaze.He smiled: "It's okay, it's... news from that old man."

Joanna silently made an "oh" mouth.

News from an old friend? □□What good news can there be for a ten-year-old deceased?Either dying or dying.

For a moment, Joanna didn't know what to say to comfort her.

Steve lowered his head and fiddled with the food in the bowl, and after a long while he mustered up the courage to raise his head and said, "I may have to...leave for a while."

Joanna nodded in understanding.How could she stop Steve from going to see his old friend for the last time?

Joanna's well-behaved and docile appearance made Steve feel sorry for him. Thinking of all the bad things Joanna is going through now, Steve feels even more sorry for Joanna.At this juncture, Joanna obviously needed his company that way, but he couldn't do it.

Steve held Joanna's hand on the table and didn't let go for a long time.

Despite receiving information from Natasha, Steve stayed with Joanna until the evening before leaving Los Angeles.Before leaving, he didn't explain to Joanna what exactly he was going to do, just like he didn't tell Joanna of Bucky's existence.Joanna may know who Bucky is, after all, she is a person who was ordered by S.H.I.E.L.D. to contact him.Even if Joanna knew nothing about his life until then, S.H.I.E.L.D. would teach her everything.

But even if Joanna knew Bucky and his past, in Joanna's eyes, it was just a hero who died during World War II.She couldn't possibly know that Bucky had worked for Hydra, and she wouldn't know that it was Bucky who beat him to the hospital.

Steve didn't know how to explain all this to Joanna.He didn't know how to get Joanna to accept and recognize Bucky's existence.He knew Joanna too well, just because Bucky had done something to him, Joanna would not hesitate to pull Bucky into the list of enemies.Even if she would pretend to forgive Bucky for what he did in the past after listening to his explanation.

More importantly, Steve has no idea whether he can really help Bucky regain his memory and return him to a normal life.He didn't want this to be an annoyance to Joanna.She has too many things to worry about and worry about now.

As for Joanna, although it is a bit shameless to say that, Joanna must admit that after sleeping with Steve, she is really... refreshed.Even the stinky Lucifer became less annoying in her eyes.

This refreshing state lasted for nearly a week.

Then, Joanna ushered in a piece of news that was good or bad for her.

——You're not kidding me, are you? ! ! ! ! !

Joanna held up her phone, her eyes staring like two ping pong balls.

Tony unabashedly looked at the beauty waiter who served him and Joanna coffee with teasing eyes, and then replied to Joanna in an indifferent tone: "Well, I'm not kidding."

——Be serious! ! ! !

Joanna brought the phone up to Tony's nose, firmly preventing him from harassing the waitress with his eyes.

Tony looked at Joanna unhappily: "What are you doing!"

—Ask you a question!

"Am I the boss now or are you the boss? I haven't even asked you a question yet! You asked me first instead. Did you act like this when you applied for a job at S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

—I just don't understand why you did it.

Tony took a sip of his iced coffee: "You don't have a job, and I'm short of manpower. That's it. Shouldn't we hit it off? What's the matter with your current attitude of asking questions?"

— Tony, I can't figure it all out, your behavior is so weird.

"As far as your IQ is concerned, there are too many things you can't figure out."

Joanna didn't bother to raise her phone, so she looked at Tony with an expression of "Say, what are you talking about today".

After drinking half of the coffee, Tony finally couldn't stand it and sighed: "Okay, let me make it clearer. I want to hire you to work in Stark Industries. The job content includes but is not limited to daily public relations and... dealing with revenge Since you are currently unemployed, I think my proposal is very good. Unless you want to work for Wayne Corporation, or... simply kick the captain and go out with Bruce Wayne. Otherwise, anyway Look, my offer is what you should consider first."

"The Avengers?" Joanna herself didn't know what mood she should be in now, but she didn't want to communicate with Tony in silly words now.What he said was already enough to make Joanna forget about the damn "speaking silence plan" and consider the issues raised by Tony wholeheartedly.

"Wait a minute! Are you sure you are calm now? Can you communicate with me normally?"

Joanna took a deep breath: "I'm sure."

"Okay." Tony straightened his back, "Ask, do you have any questions or concerns?"

"I remember you said that you don't want to interfere with the Avengers anymore." Joanna said calmly and to the point, without any suspicion or sarcasm.

"Yes, I did say it once. Why? I can't change it after I said it? I feel that the earth needs me now, and I regret it, can't I?"

"Okay." Joanna remained calm, "But I'm just... Listen Tony, I know you might think I'm asking about your private life, and you really don't need to explain anything to me or anyone else. But, I'm worried about you Tony. You blew up all your armor, and yes, I know you promised Pep that you'd never put yourself in danger again. And I even know that you do... really love her. "

"Enough Joanna, you're talking more and more like the captain now. This makes me sick, you know? The disgusting kind."

Joanna was unmoved, and still acted calmly: "Now you come to me and tell me that you hope to hire me. And you want me to deal with matters related to the Avengers. Do you know what I think?"

"Very touched."

"I guess you broke up with Pep."

Tony pursed his lips with a bad expression: "So what? You and the captain have a good relationship, so you plan to come and give me advice?"

"No, Tony. I just want to..." Joanna finally showed some emotion at the moment, "I just want you to know that you don't have to keep all this in your heart. You can... you can talk to me. After all, I am a mute now, and I am very good at keeping secrets."

Joanna spoke to Tony in a playful tone on purpose, but the subject was anything but easy for Tony.

He stirred the coffee in his cup and was silent for a while.

"Because both I and she found out that I can't do it." Tony lowered his head, as if a flower could bloom in the coffee in front of him.

Joanna kept quiet and didn't make a sound.

"I can't do it. I can't stay out of it. You are right. When Natasha comes to me for help, I can refuse her. As long as it is related to the Avengers, I can refuse. But I I can't do it. It's not because Natasha can persuade people, it's because I understand it myself, I just can't...stand by." Tony looked up at Joanna when he said this.

"I can't let go of all of this, and I can't let go of Pep. But obviously, she thinks I can let go of her, and she thinks...she can let go of me." Tony retreated from his usual cynicism and bravado, showing that he never showed Vulnerability in front of others, "That's how it is. I made my choice, and she made hers."

"I'm sorry Tony, you need me to help you..."

"No. No need. Believe me, Joanna, if one day the captain leaves you, you won't want someone to persuade him for you."

Joanna smiled awkwardly and politely when she heard this.

"Sorry, I didn't mean you guys would break up. You know, I wonder if the captain knows that there is such a thing as 'breaking up' in the world. He is an antique, and he will definitely marry his girlfriend. Trust me."

Joanna was amused by Tony, and she suddenly discovered that this playboy who was usually disliked by others was very different from what everyone knew.Although she didn't think recruiting her into Stark Industries was a sensible choice, Joanna calmed down and asked calmly, "In this case, tell me what you think. How did you come up with the idea of ​​recruiting me into Stark Industries?" Ke industry. I would say, no matter how you look at it, this is not a good choice."

Tony frowned: "When S.H.I.E.L.D. recruited you, did you do the same?"
