[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Steve returned to the United States after attending Peggy's funeral in England.

Before boarding the plane, he checked his phone.No news from Joanna.He still remembers the scene when the two parted at the tropical airport that day.After Joanna heard the name of Peggy Carter, the expression on her face froze.

She knew Paige, she knew everything about herself.

If there is any inconvenience of being Captain America, then "anyone knows their past" may be the first inconvenience.

There are planes taking off and landing at the airport non-stop, and the radio at the airport also broadcasts the information of various routes in turn.

Joanna didn't say anything that day, she just told him to be careful.Also, at the last second of parting, he quickly said "Steve, I'm so sorry".At first, Steve took that as a pleasantries, but judging by the now-empty inbox, Joanna's "I'm sad" may have had another meaning.

Natasha once discussed his relationship with Steve.Regarding Joanna's situation and psychology in this relationship, Natasha has a much more transparent view than Steve.

Things are always like this, the bystanders are far more sober than the parties involved, and women are always more sensitive than men.

The reason why Steve proposed to go on vacation with Joanna was to keep the two of them away from "the troubles caused by Captain America" ​​and enjoy a quiet time for the two of them.But Steve now finds that he can't let go of everything, just like Joanna must face the fact that her boyfriend is Captain America.

Steve struggled with his phone for a long time.There was about half an hour before the flight took off.It was late at night in New York, and he wasn't sure whether to call or text Joanna at this time.

Just as he was hesitating, a text message popped up suddenly.

The letter was written not by Joanna, but by Natasha.

Natasha: Steve, it's over in the UK.When are you going back to New York?

Steve: I'm already at the airport, and the plane will take off in about half an hour.

Natasha: Do I need to pick you up at the airport?

Steve typed "No", but it took a long time to send it.He was thinking about Joanna, and he wanted to ask Natasha what was going on with Joanna, but he didn't know how to ask.

Natasha: ? ? ? ?

Steve: No need.Have you seen Joanna lately?

Natasha: (·ω·) You wanted to ask this just now.

Steve: Are you really Natasha?

Natasha: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the use of kaomoji is popular in chat groups recently. I think it's quite interesting. I didn't pay attention to it, so I used it.

Steve: I understand.

Natasha: She has been to the building on time these two days, but there is nothing special during this time.So she has been in the office area of ​​the PR department and rarely comes up to the top floor.Then again, we haven't been on the top floor a lot lately.Tony has built a new base in the suburbs, which is extremely concealed.We are thinking about finding a suitable time to move there.You're back just in time to check it out.

Steve: Got it, thank you.

Natasha: Steve, sometimes guilt isn't a good thing.

Steve: I see what you mean.The plane is about to take off, see you later.

At the gentle urging of the flight attendant, Steve turned off his phone and put on his seat belt.He felt the plane move slowly toward the runway, then suddenly accelerate and lift off smoothly.

The beautiful and melancholy England was thus left behind.

Steve sighed and closed his eyes.

It was exactly [-]:[-] local time when the plane landed at the airport in New York.Steve got off the plane, got in a taxi, and headed straight to his apartment in Queens.

He went upstairs lightly, took out the key from his bag and opened the door.

Inside, Joanna was standing in the living room, brushing her teeth while watching the news.

The moment Steve opened the door and walked in, she was taken aback.I just held my toothbrush in my mouth like that for a long time and didn't know what to do to respond well.It wasn't until the toothpaste foam was about to flow out of her mouth that she closed her mouth in a panic, stretched her neck and ran to the bathroom.

Rinse your mouth and wash your face.

Joanna completed this series of actions quickly.She wiped her face clean with a towel, and returned to the living room before taking off her bangs hairpin.

"Why are you back at this hour?" Joanna stared at Steve in surprise.

"I'll be back when I'm done with my business in England."

Joanna let out an "oh" and said nothing.The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little strange.

After a long time, Joanna seemed to remember something, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Steve nodded: "Fortunately, it's all over."

"I'm very sorry."

Steve stared at Joanna for a while, then suddenly asked, "How about you? Are you okay?"

"What?" Joanna showed a confused expression.

Steve repeated it again with concern on his face: "Are you okay?"

"What can I have..." Joanna stopped in the middle of her sentence.She bit her lower lip and didn't continue speaking, as if the words that flashed through her mind just now were very stupid.So stupid that she doesn't want to face it now.

"I'm fine. That's right, I'm in a hurry to go to work. New York is a bit congested these two days, and I'm afraid I'll be late."

Steve nodded, "I'll go with you."

"Don't you take two days off?" Joanna finished speaking before remembering that the work attitude of Steve standing in front of her was very different from that of ordinary people.So she quickly added: "Half a day is also good."

"It's okay." Steve lifted Joanna's handbag on the table, "I just want to go to work with you now. Like a pair of ordinary lovers."

Joanna stood at the door, opened her mouth, and finally said nothing.

Steve is a little confused, he thinks he just did a good job.He could understand Joanna's disappointment when she sent him to England, so he didn't hesitate to express his heart to Joanna at this moment.But Joanna's reaction was as if... she wasn't moved by his confession just now.

Steve didn't mean to attack Joanna with words.But he still hoped to get a response, to get a response from Joanna.

In the end, Joanna failed to dissuade Steve, so she had to go to Fulian Building with him.When passing by the Starbucks closest to the building, Steve even went to buy two cups of coffee.

"I watched the clerk do it." Steve said as he handed the coffee to Joanna.

He happened to pass by an employee of Fulian Building, and he recognized Steve and Joanna at a glance, so he lamented in a teasing tone that the captain is too good at talking.

Steve twitched his lips in embarrassment, but didn't explain.

Joanna took the coffee with mixed feelings.

What Steve said just now was not a love story, nor was it to show how romantic and attentive he was.He just wanted to tell her that there was nothing in the coffee cup that would make her lose consciousness, and she didn't have to be afraid.

He just wanted to appease his timid self.

That's it.

While feeling Steve's caring, Joanna also realized what a troublesome guy she was.A guy who can scare her away with a glass of Starbucks.

Think back to Agent Carter's file she'd seen in S.H.I.E.L.D.Joanna sadly found that she and the legendary strong woman were two completely different people.

Such a self...is he really worthy of Captain America?

When the aroma of caramel latte spread in her mouth, Joanna inexplicably tasted a sour taste.

The elevator stopped on the 27th floor.Joanna held the cup of caramel latte, turned her head and said "see you" to Steve.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, a gust of wind came from behind her.As soon as Joanna turned around, the coffee in her hand was snatched by Pietro who came out of nowhere.

Pietro took a sip and frowned: "It's too sweet."

"You can go down and buy yourself a drink."

Pietro returned the coffee to Joanna: "It's too much trouble."

Joanna held the coffee cup, looked at the coffee stains on it, and said nothing.

"Dislike it? Then I'll throw it away for you." Pietro wasn't asking for Joanna's opinion, it was just a unilateral notification.

When Joanna recovered, the coffee had already been thrown into the trash can.She sighed: "Pietro, why are you here?"

"I'm doing special training at the base, and I came to see it halfway. Anyway, I won't delay the matter." Pietro replied very easily, "Hey! I have something, can I ask you?"

"what's up?"

"You promise me first that you will answer me."

Joanna thought for a while: "If I know the answer, and I haven't promised anyone to keep it secret."

Pietro grinned: "Did the captain propose to you?"

"what?"

Pietro shrugged: "Everyone is guessing, but he took a vacation with you. He also went to the island. Did he go diving? Did he propose to you on the beach or under the sea?"

"Pietro..."

"Everyone is now divided into two factions, and a gamble has been made! Please! Please tell me, I guessed it right." Pietro folded his hands and pleaded.Joanna had no doubt that if he had a dog's tail on his ass, he would be shaking a lot by now.

"Then what did you guess?"

"Then I can't say it." Pietro looked alert, "What if you deliberately let me lose?"

"Maybe I'm trying to let you win on purpose."

"That's impossible."

When Pietro said "impossible", Joanna knew what Pietro was guessing.She smiled regretfully: "Sorry, you guessed wrong."

"what?"

"You think it's impossible for me to let you win, not because I don't want to, but because I can't. So, you must have guessed that Steve proposed to me. Unfortunately, we didn't think about it. He didn't." Joanna paused, "Me neither."

"Huh?" Pietro looked regretful.His complexion was even uglier than that of drinking unsuitable coffee just now.

Joanna opened her mouth, but before she could utter a joke, she saw John come out of his office anxiously.The moment he looked up and saw Joanna, he was obviously relieved, but then, his brows frowned again.

"Joanna, the situation is not good."
