[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Steve has a pair of glasses that don't quite match him on the bridge of his nose, and a black baseball cap on his head.He dug out the jeans from his modest wardrobe, and there were signs of wear at the knees.At first glance, he looks a bit like a young man who tried hard to catch up with the trend but failed.

Steve is sitting in the Starbucks store facing the window.Sitting next to her was Wanda, who had changed her hair color and wore big sunglasses.The two of them just stared at the movement outside the window, taking a sip of coffee from time to time.

"Pietro... are you okay?"

Wanda raised her chin slightly, acting like a cold beauty in every move.She deliberately looked to the other side, looking as if she had no place to sit with this "little young man": "It's been much better recently. But he has been very angry, and it took a lot of effort for me and the professor to persuade him Don't do stupid things."

Steve sighed.

The strange man on the side kept looking at Wanda. Wanda just looked at him coldly until the other party retreated and looked away.

"What about you? How's the situation?"

Steve took a sip of his coffee, still looking out the window: "Good. We can still handle it."

Wanda couldn't help raising her eyebrows. The big sunglasses covered most of her face. Even if she showed an expression that didn't match her image of a cold goddess, she was not seen by others: " If it's just to deal with the government|government wanted|want|, who isn't?"

Steve tapped the coffee cup lightly with his fingers, and continued to bring the topic back to Pietro: "Magneto really didn't..."

"Come on Captain. Are you really going to talk to me about this?"

"Feel sorry."

Wanda sighed: "The professor can't find Magneto, and neither can I. But I believe what Pietro said."

"Wanda, you know, we both understand, that's not what Pietro did. He wouldn't have done something like that."

"Of course, you just don't quite understand how much Magneto hates humans." Wanda turned to look at Steve. This was the first time she had looked at Steve since she entered the store. "You know what? I think Joe The worst thing Anna did wasn't mishandling her PR, it was making everyone paranoid."

Steve lowered his face in a rare way: "Wanda."

"Sorry." Wanda looked away, "I shouldn't have mentioned your ex-girlfriend."

Steve didn't want to talk about Joanna at all.He's been avoiding everything about Joanna lately.He has never been a deserter in his life, no matter what troubles he encounters, he always rises to them.That's what Steve was born with, and everyone and everything that's happened to him since he was born is trying to mold him into that.When encountering difficulties, knock down the difficulties head-on, and then step on the difficulties and stride over them.No detour, no avoidance.

But this time, facing Joanna, Steve evaded.

That was a knee-jerk reaction.By the time he realized the problem, he was already avoiding it.He is not ashamed.Although he abides by the style of facing difficulties, he does not feel that it is shameful to back down.It is because he understands the horrors of difficulty that he understands those who withdraw.He's not ashamed of it.

He was just accidental.

While feeling novel and unexpected, Steve also felt an imperceptible sadness.

Steve stared at the coffee in front of him and didn't speak for a long time.

He also remembered that Joanna didn't drink outside drinks.But every time she goes to work, she always walks to Starbucks to buy coffee for everyone.Sometimes it is entrusted by everyone, but more often it is just because she wants to do it.

In Steve's eyes, Joanna has always been gentle and considerate.But he is not blind, he can see that Joanna is just being gentle with him, facing other people, even Tony who pays her salary, if she doesn't ask for something, she will never do something considerate to others .Joanna wasn't the kind of nice guy who would offer to buy coffee for a co-worker every day, but she did.

Up to now, Steve was surprised to find that what he was most curious about was actually such a trivial matter.Compared to the conspiracy of the White House, compared to how Ross and the others framed Pietro, what Steve was most curious about was why Joanna would do something that didn't match her personality at all.

He couldn't figure out why Joanna would buy coffee for everyone, she was obviously such a trouble-free person.

Steve was thinking about these messy things in his mind, and he ignored Wanda next to him for a while.

Wanda waited for a while, and seeing that Steve still didn't talk to him, she thought she had touched Steve's sore spot by mentioning Joanna, so she said awkwardly, "Sorry, I mean... I didn't think... "

"It's okay." Steve's tone was calm, and he couldn't tell what emotion he was in.

"So, it's over?"

"what?"

Wanda raised her hand and pinned her hair behind her ears, and let out a long breath: "I mean the Avengers. Are you really planning to end it like this? Everyone goes their own way, let Stark deal with the government, Joe..."

Steve straightened his back a little uncomfortably, and turned his head to look in the direction of the Starbucks counter: "This is not called each going its own way. This is..."

"I know, there is no way. But what we agreed at the beginning was to switch to underground | underground activities. Captain, it's been two months. Everyone hasn't even got together neatly to exchange information. You know What do I think? If we don't do something else, the Avengers are really done for."

two months?

After being mentioned by Wanda, Steve was startled that time flies.But when he recalled what happened two months ago, it turned out that most of them were Joanna.It's not that the things about the Avengers are unimportant, but...the things related to the Avengers are like the done and to-do items on the list.There are small red marks in front of some items.Everything is as clear as a perfect mission report.Steve can see the ins and outs of all the branches at a glance.

The White House ordered the arrest of Baji...

The media asked the Avengers to apologize to the public for the Baji...

Netizens call for the Avengers to be regulated...

The media publicly boycotted the Avengers' PR team...

And... a mysterious man suspected of Pietro ran over and killed a pregnant woman in the street...

One thing after another, like the never-ending waves of the ocean.At the beginning, while everyone was busy dealing with public opinion, they still had time to ponder what the White House was going to do. Later, things gradually exceeded everyone's expectations.That blurry, gory video became the mad dog wave that destroyed the Avengers.

On the day the video went viral, Rhodes and Barton had a big fight over Pietro.But Joanna, who was blocked by the media downstairs in the Avengers Building that day, didn't say anything.Steve only saw Joanna watching him from afar across the crowd before John found someone to block the media away.

His face was calm but desperate.

Joanna at that time knew better than anyone that the incident was over.

The Avengers failed miserably.

Lost to those blind people who were protected by the Avengers but couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

Steve sighed and picked up the coffee cup in front of him.The moment the cup left the table, he realized that the cup was empty.

If those Avengers-related things are to-do lists, those trivial things related to Joanna are like real memories.Joanna's body smelled like lotus flower perfume, her slightly swaying shoulders at work, the flat shoes she hid under the desk, and... the farewell kiss.

Steve turned his head, facing Wanda's direction for the first time: "Now is not the most suitable time, the White House is still staring at Baji and Pietro, I contacted Tony the day before yesterday, and I haven't found Hydra yet. There are no traces, and there is no problem that was not solved by the Avengers. As for Thor... Tony is ready, as long as Thor returns to Earth, he will contact him as soon as possible to ensure that there is no trouble. "

"Someone..." Wanda paused, "I don't really want to say this, but, has any of us met Joanna? I mean, she has a 'tongue of lies'. Has anyone talked to her?" Have you ever been? Are you sure she's okay? The White House won't attack her?"

Steve was silent for a while: "She's in Gotham, where the local government doesn't interfere much. She'll be fine."

Wanda nodded reluctantly and stopped talking.

Steve stood up and left Starbucks after saying, "I will also try to investigate Magneto over there. If you have any news, please contact me at any time."

As soon as Steve walked out the door, he was hit by a kid playing on roller skates on the sidewalk.The kid didn't have time to brake, and crashed straight into Steve's leg.Due to the sudden deceleration due to the impact, the little boy almost sat on the ground.With quick eyes and quick hands, Steve grabbed the little guy.

The child's parents ran over from behind while apologizing loudly.

Steve didn't look up, and covered it with the brim of his baseball cap, and casually responded with a few words.

The parents didn't recognize the person in front of them as Captain America.But the little one looked up, staring blankly at Steve's face.

Steve blinked at him, raised his hand in a silent gesture.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered his first date with Joanna.He thought of the little boy who held Joanna's thigh and refused to let go.

At that time, Joanna, who had lost her temper after being tortured by the kid, leaned on his shoulder in despair, and said in an angry tone, "I'm going to be a DINK in the future. The kind of DINK until death!"

Steve didn't know what a "DINK" was then, and he still doesn't.He regretted that he didn't "ask if you don't understand" at that time.Looking back now, he found that when he was with Joanna, he missed a lot of opportunities to "ask if you don't understand".

Poignantly, he may never have the chance to ask again.
