[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen
Chapter 35 Enter v3 in 1
Joanna fetched the tablet computer for him according to Tony's instructions. Tony held on to take the computer and clicked on the tablet in front of Joanna and Harry. The power of the whole room was cut off for two seconds. Then it came on again.The computer on the desk started to work again, the electronic lock in the studio gave a crisp sound, and the indicator light turned back to a reassuring green.
"Someone hacked your network?" Joanna looked in disbelief.In her opinion, no one can hack Tony Stark's network, not even S.H.I.E.L.D.
Tony's face was ugly, partly because his body was still in a state of extreme weakness, and partly because Joanna mentioned something he didn't want to mention.Tony's tone was very blunt, without the slightest sense of ease and generosity when he molested|molested Harry just now: "Isn't this obvious?"
"But..." Joanna held back, but couldn't hold back, and finally blurted out, "Aren't you always the only one who hacks other people's systems?"
Tony glanced at Joanna, but said nothing.
The other party was able to enter his home and forcibly shut down all electronic systems because the other party had a password.This is not a competition between skills at all, this is him with complete equipment, but showing his back to people with ulterior motives.
And on this point, he didn't want to explain more to the mentally retarded SHIELD.
Harry has been paying attention to Tony's physical condition.Although she couldn't figure out how the hole in Tony's chest and the thing that looked like a lethal weapon kept him alive, Harry could still find that Tony's physical condition was very bad.
She took Tony's pulse again with a calm face.Tony instinctively tried to avoid Harry's hand, but failed.So he could only put on a cynical look, raised his eyebrows and looked at Harry: "By the way, beauty, you haven't told me your name yet."
Harley's face remained unchanged: "Haileen Quizell."
Tony laughed teasingly: "Baby Harry, tell me, what does it feel like to clasp my wrist? Will your heart beat faster?"
Harry ignored Tony, turned to Joanna and asked, "Where's your neighbor?"
Joanna froze for a moment, and then realized that Rumlow, who had been following them, had disappeared at some point.Joanna grabbed her phone and ran towards the stairs: "I'll go up and have a look."
Joanna quickly checked the basement floor where the studio was located and the floor where the living room was located. After finding no trace of anyone, she went around the garden and the main entrance to check the situation.
However, there was no sign of Rumlow anywhere.
Joanna's first reaction was: It's over, Rumlow has been robbed!
With the last chance of luck, Joanna took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Rumlow.
Joanna: Where are you? ! ! ! !are you OK? ! ! ! !
Rumlow: I have checked the villa. There is no sign of anyone else. You should be safe.I can't do anything else by staying there, so I left first.
Joanna frowned, suddenly realizing that her neighbor was extremely unreliable.So what if you can flip the door?Leaving the two girls at the scene of the crime at such a critical moment is simply what scumbags did!
Just when Joanna was slandering Rumlow, Rumlow sent her another message of explanation.
Rumlow: The last time I left a case, it was more or less related to Stark Industries. If possible, please don't mention me in front of Tony Stark again.I'm on the road back to town, call me if you need me.But remember, never mention me in front of other people.
Looking at it this way, Joanna felt that Rumlow's "scum" was justifiable.
No, no, think about it carefully, Rumlow is not a scumbag!He not only helped them enter Tony's villa, but also considered them after they were forced to leave, staying not far from the villa.
Joanna was a little moved for a moment, she returned a "thank you" to Rumlow sincerely, and then returned to the studio with her mobile phone in her pocket.
Tony hasn't recovered yet.Although he had regained some strength, even Joanna could see that his breathing was a little short at the moment, and the sweat on his forehead hadn't dried up.
Joanna was a little worried: "Do you need to call an ambulance?"
Tony shook his head: "It's too dangerous. If the other party knows that I'm not dead now, they will definitely attack again."
Joanna looked at Harley: "Then...there is no doctor here, if you are so stubborn, if you kill someone, we two unmarried women can't bear the responsibility."
Tony closed his eyes, thought for a while and asked, "Can we get tetrodotoxin?"
Joanna blinked: "Don't be overthinking it, it's not like you are sending people's heads!"
Tony didn't want to deal with the mentally handicapped at all, but just looked up at Harry.
Mental illness Harley knows how to treat it, but this physical function problem...she is only half a tank of water, okay?When I came up and asked her for something like tetrodotoxin, which is not considered a medicine at all, even if she heard it, she would feel frightened, okay?
Harley said seriously, "I'm a doctor who graduated from a regular medical school. Where can I get that stuff for you?"
Tony sighed regretfully, and looked back at Joanna.
Joanna quickly shook her head: "I can't even get into medical school, let alone get that stuff."
Tony lowered his eyelids speechlessly. "Contact S.H.I.E.L.D. They can get it."
"This...can't be." Joanna said suspiciously.
Tony only felt that his temples were throbbing violently. If he wasn't really unwell at the moment, he would have jumped up and caught Joanna and beat him up: "You contact, they can get it."
The boss's instructions are so clear that if you don't make a phone call, isn't that just asking for death?Joanna pursed her mouth helplessly, took out her phone and called Coulson.
After learning about the situation, Coulson immediately found someone to get tetrodotoxin, and told Joanna to protect Tony Stark before they arrived at the villa.
Joanna was speechless about Coulson's arrangement.
Did the guy misunderstand something?She is just an employee of the administrative department, not a female agent!How could she protect Tony Stark when she wasn't even given a gun?When the enemy came over, did she act as a meat shield in front of Tony? !
When Coulson rushed to the villa with tetrodotoxin and Pep, Tony was sitting on his back on the massage chair in the studio, his hands neatly resting on the armrests of the massage chair, as if tied by invisible ropes Live the same.Joanna, on the other hand, was sitting aside with a 30cm long boning knife.
In that scene, the lack of a rope is a proper kidnapping scene.
Pep, who had already had a very speculative conversation with Coulson on the road, saw this scene, and his face immediately darkened.
Coulson, who thought that he could rely on Pep to beat the side drums and join Tony as soon as possible, saw his partner's face turned black, and he also turned ugly.
"Joanna, what are you doing!"
Joanna jumped down from the workbench, still holding the boning knife tightly in her hand: "Protect Mr. Stark. You didn't give me a gun, I have to find some weapons."
Coulson's face was dark, and he didn't answer, his eyes quickly passed over Harry's face: "Who is this?"
"My friend, Harleen Quizell. Come and help me."
Coulson didn't scold Joanna publicly, but he still gave Joanna a look.It is a taboo for agents to drag irrelevant personnel into the task.But considering that Joanna had not received relevant training, Coulson couldn't blame Joanna for a while.
Coulson gave Tony the tetrodotoxin he brought, and Tony handed the toxin to Harley: "Miss Quinzel, there are analytical instruments and measuring instruments there, please help me dilute the toxin."
Harry took the vial containing the toxin and gave Joanna an uneasy look.Joanna didn't sort out the legal relationship for a while.It was obvious what Tony meant, and he felt that in order for his body to recover, he would have to inject himself with diluted tetrodotoxin.But if Harry's hands trembled, or Tony made a mistake in his calculation, a dose of toxin was injected, and he, Tony Stark, died, who should be responsible for today's life?
Just as Joanna was about to stop Harley, she heard Tony say to Harley, "Don't worry about her opinion. She can't give any good advice. Miss Quizell, I believe in your ability, you have to remember, you It's saving my life."
Harry took a look at Tony, and finally did not refuse. Following Tony's instructions, he diluted the tetrodotoxin for him.
While Harley and Tony were busy, Coulson called Joanna aside.
"What happened to that Quizel?"
"My friend, here to help."
Coulson looked serious: "What does she do?"
"Psychiatrist, rounded up, is also a doctor."
"Do you think it's appropriate to bring in an ordinary person?"
Joanna, who didn't intend to start a fight with Coulson, suddenly felt aggrieved when Coulson scolded her: "Mr. Agent, please be sober! I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't even know how to use a gun." I know! You haven't even given me a gun! Is it okay to pull me in?! I won't let her help, I won't let her help, who can I ask? Huh? Steve? Do you want me to send him a message now The news, he is so fit, he will be able to run from New York City in a short time!"
Coulson felt wronged by Joanna.He didn't want to tell Joanna that the headquarters and the New York branch were secretly competing at this juncture, and he didn't want Joanna to know that all the tasks they were carrying out in New York were very difficult.After holding back for a while, Coulson could only say "Sorry" to Joanna dryly.
Joanna pursed her lips and said nothing.His eyes were fixed on the three people on the other side of the room.She could see the three guys peeking at them from time to time, but because Joanna kept staring at them, the three of them were reluctant to cast their gazes in the end.
Harry injected Tony with diluted tetrodotoxin, and after about 6 minutes, Tony finally recovered.
Seeing this, Joanna strode forward and said to Harley, "Let's go, we should go back."
Hearing this, Tony looked up at Harry and Joanna.He found Joanna in a bad mood.He sincerely thanked Harley, and before he could express his gratitude to Joanna smoothly, he heard Joanna say: "There is no need for my words. Let's be smart and don't speak dark words, I'm just Aegis The Bureau sent to contact Stark Industries. Since you have met Agent Coulson, there is nothing wrong with me. Please don’t hack my phone in the future. I bought it with my own money. Not from S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
After saying this, Joanna took Harry's hand, turned around and walked out.
"Thank you" couldn't be said, Tony felt a little embarrassed, he gave Coulson a disgusted look, and then looked at Pep: "She took my boning knife away."
As soon as the two girls left the villa, they saw the car that Rumlow had left for them.The car keys were on the center console and the doors were unlocked.Joanna opened the car door and sat in, feeling even more grateful for Rumlow.
Harley was driving, and Joanna contacted Rumlow on her mobile phone in the passenger car.The two picked up Rumlow three kilometers away from the villa, and then returned to New York City together.
Because it was getting late, Joanna insisted that Harry stay at her house instead of going back to the hotel alone.When the three walked downstairs to the apartment, they were surprised to find that Joanna's house was brightly lit.
Both Harry and Rumlow showed expressions of "couldn't it be a burglar in the house?"The difference is that Harley is worried about the theft from the bottom of his heart, but Rumlow is thinking about how he can avoid meeting Captain America if the person in the room is Captain America.
In the current situation, as the only man present who could resist and fight, it was totally unreasonable for him not to take the lead in entering the house to check the security situation.
Fortunately, Joanna did not propose to let Rumlow enter her room first.She just stood downstairs with a tired face, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I forgot about it."
"what's up?"
"I'm a netizen." Joanna was depressed, and when she mentioned Steve, her tone was wan.
Rumlow still looked uneasy: "Do you need me to accompany you into the house?"
Joanna waved her hand.
It's impossible for Harry and Steve to meet.Harley stayed with her for most of the night, and she was the one who invited him to spend the night at her house in the first place.It would be too unreasonable to drive Harley away for a target of S.H.I.E.L.D.!Not only is it not authentic, but it will also look particularly suspicious.
But rumlo is different.She didn't need Rumlow to meet Steve.After what happened tonight, among other things, at least Rumlow knew that she knew Tony Stark.In case Rumlow and Steve slipped up during the chat, with Steve's cautious personality and high IQ, he might be able to guess her identity in two or three attempts.
"It's okay. It's my friend. He has the key to my house. Don't worry."
Rumlow heaved a sigh of relief, but his face was still a little worried.After repeated persuasion from Joanna, he said: "In this case, you should go back first. I also want to go to the supermarket over there to buy something."
Joanna nodded, thanked Rumlow again, and then walked up the apartment with Harry arm in arm.
"Netizen?" When they reached the second floor, Harry couldn't help asking in a teasing tone, "It's still a man."
Joanna let out a tired "hmm".
Harley knew that she was not in a good mood at the moment, so she deliberately picked up seemingly irrelevant topics to chat: "Be honest, how many times have you slept?"
Joanna frowned: "What are you talking about! Can you stop thinking about people like this..."
"Crazy?"
Joanna wrinkled her nose: "I was going to use 'dirty'."
"How can this be considered dirty? What's wrong with sleeping with a netizen? He sent it to the door by himself, and you didn't force him!"
Joanna thought to herself, the person in this world who can force her to be a netizen, probably hasn't been born yet.What kind of mental and physical qualities do you need to force Captain America!
Joanna stood still at the door of the house, turned to Harry and said, "He and I really have a very pure revolutionary friendship, so..."
"How about I go back to the hotel?"
"Harry!" Joanna stared angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."
Harry smiled, raised his hand, and nodded.
As soon as Joanna inserted the key into the lock, the door was opened by Steve inside.He did hear Joanna talking to someone outside the door just now, and now he opened the door and saw Harry greet him with a beautiful smile, but he still couldn't react for a while.
"Hello, Mr. Netizen. I'm Joanna's friend, Harleen Quizell."
"Hi. Steve Rogers."
During the gap between the two greeting each other, both Harry and Joanna entered the room and closed the door behind them.
Steve, who was suddenly in the same room with two beauties, became extremely cramped at the moment: "That...I...I'm worried about that hacker..."
Joanna gets angry when the hacker is mentioned.But facing Steve, she didn't get angry, she just smiled wearily: "That matter has been resolved, and there should be no more trouble."
Steve froze for a moment: "What happened?"
"Indescribable."
Joanna said "difficult to explain", but she didn't really "difficult to explain", she said so, just to stop Steve from asking further.From what she knew of Steve, if she evaded the question with vague words, Steve would be tactful to stop there.Sure enough, upon hearing Joanna's answer, Steve closed his mouth and fell into silence.
Harry felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing, so after saying a few witty words, he went to the kitchen to find a drink.
"Since there is no danger, I will go back." As a moral model, Steve felt that he should not stay in a girl's house for no reason.
At this moment, Joanna has completely forgotten SHIELD, and she no longer has the idea of "Fuck! For SHIELD, for my work, I must invite the guests from the last century to stay".However, this doesn't mean that she can be a scumbag who throws people away when she runs out.
Although in the beginning, Joanna did invite Steve to stay at her house in order to be close to him.But from Steve's point of view, he did come to protect her.If the danger is eliminated, just drive people away?Joanna really can't do such a scumbag.
And, from beginning to end, Steve was not in the slightest responsible for her tragic life.She had a quarrel with Coulson, and now she is tempted to fire S.H.I.E.L.D.But that doesn't mean she can vent her grievance and anger on Steve.
Steve, who has been frozen for more than 70 years, is so innocent!
Joanna looked at the time, and when she thought of Steve waiting for her at her house so late, Joanna felt even more distressed.
"It's getting late, why don't you stay here overnight? How can I let you go back alone so late?"
Steve laughed: "Even if I'm alone, I'm safe and I'll be fine."
These words were meant to comfort Joanna, but now they inexplicably poked Joanna's tears.
How can a person be fine?How could it be possible to have a good time!How sunny this sweet WWII veteran is!The damn S.H.I.E.L.D. still wants to use him!Damn Joanna Rickman for helping S.H.I.E.L.D. use him!
Joanna's mouth deflated and she almost burst into tears.
"Joanna?"
Joanna turned around: "I'm fine. You'd better...stay here temporarily for one night. Otherwise, I'll feel sorry. It's almost here."
Steve could tell Joanna wasn't doing well.Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he was somewhat worried about letting him leave Joanna and go home by himself.Steve didn't know how the hacker problem was solved, but what if Joanna made a wrong judgment?What if the other party came to the door while Joanna was alone?
Steve looked in the direction of the kitchen: "It's not convenient, is it?"
Joanna smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing inconvenient, Halle and I have been good sisters for many years."
Steve looked at the forced smile on Joanna's face, and finally nodded in agreement.
Harley, who had been paying attention to the movements of the two of them, came out of the kitchen in a timely manner, yawned, and walked towards the bedroom: "I'm too sleepy, I'll go to bed first."
There was a bit of deliberate playfulness in her tone, and Steve's ears couldn't help but pink.Joanna was also a little embarrassed by Halle. She was afraid that Steve would think too much, and Harry would also think too much, so she quickly answered, "I'll be sleeping right away, too."
After saying this, Joanna turned her head and said good night to Steve.Steve nodded and said goodnight softly.He watched Joanna walk into the bedroom, closed the door, and then turned off the light in the living room.
Rumlow, who had been standing downstairs, waited for a while, and after making sure that Steve hadn't left Joanna's house, he took out his phone and sent a text message.
A moment later, the reply came
- Approval action.
Harley was back in Gotham the next day.She intended to stay with Joanna for two more days in New York, but Arkham Hospital was in a hurry, as if no one could give psychological treatment to the mysterious criminal if she didn't go back.Harley was urged to swear by the phone. When this kind of official organization tosses people, it really has a lot of tricks.If killing people is not against the law, she would like to raise a knife to kill those ghosts right now.
Although Joanna was reluctant to leave Harley, she still put on a posture of "I'm fine, I'm going to work and I have to continue to hate the leader" in front of Harley.She drove Harley to the airport.On the way, I kept telling Harley to be more careful when going back to work, especially when dealing with criminals.
Harley didn't refute or explain, no matter what Joanna said, she agreed.
The two girls say goodbye after embracing outside the airport.
Joanna made up her mind that she didn't want to get involved in Tony Stark's affairs. After seeing off Harley, she went straight to the New York branch and returned to her office in the administration department with a steaming cup of coffee.She made up her mind that as long as Coulson didn't seriously apologize to her and give her a promotion and salary increase, she would resolutely ignore him.
I thought that Coulson would come to her first and ask for confidentiality regarding what happened last night.Unexpectedly, after waiting for most of the day, Coulson didn't come, but the gossip girls in the office chatted about topics that they usually didn't pay attention to at all.
"Did you watch the news this morning? It scared me to death! Even Manhattan isn't safe anymore, where else is it safe?"
"Do you know the cause of the accident? Someone said they saw robots fighting!"
"What! I heard that two tanks were bombarding each other!"
"Are you out of your mind? Did you understand the news? 'A mysterious lethal weapon was discovered on the streets of Manhattan'. Mysterious! Understand? Who has never seen a tank! I heard that a new weapon test went wrong."
"Oh, who are these people! Why are you testing weapons in the downtown area! How dangerous!"
Joanna's temples were throbbing from the chirping voices of these gossip girls, but unfortunately, after listening for a long time, she couldn't hear what happened.But no matter what it is, it must be a big thing that can make these gossip girls care about it!Joanna turned on the computer and searched for the news of the day.
If you don't search, you don't know.
Last night, the massive brawl between mech fighters on the streets of Manhattan made headlines.Fortunately, the fight did not damage many public facilities, but destroyed a Stark Industries building.
Joanna looked at the high-definition uncensored large picture released on the Internet, and felt that Stark Industries was not at a loss.
Your own boss did it and demolished his own building with his own hands. Can you blame others?It must not be possible!
Stark Industries had such a big accident, presumably there will be no peace in the future.
Joanna slumped lazily on the chair with the coffee in her hand.
According to Coulson's work style, I'm afraid he is trying his best to help Tony Stark through the public relations crisis at the moment, in order to establish an unbreakable revolutionary friendship with him.
Hmph, naive!
Joanna sneered a little sourly.
Because of the awkwardness with Coulson, Joanna not only dropped the task related to Tony Stark, she even didn't bother to contact Steve.Once you have a rebellious mind, it becomes a very annoying thing to patiently popularize the common sense of modern life to the veterans of the last century.If I have to make an analogy, it's probably a bit like "teaching a semi-demented elderly to use the TV remote control".Things are simple but simple, but after all, Joanna is not that half-demented old man, she doesn't understand how an ordinary thing needs her to teach bit by bit.A day or two is fine, but it is really a tormenting thing to persevere in the long run.
Just because Joanna doesn't want to contact Steve doesn't mean that Steve won't contact Joanna.
Steve spends his days thinking about Joanna who nearly cried in front of him the night before.That was the first time he saw Joanna showing such an aggrieved and stubborn expression.Even if she broke up with her girlfriend, even if she was stalked by a child after a car accident, even if she woke up in the middle of the night and was accidentally hit on the head by him... Joanna has always been lively and optimistic.She gets angry occasionally, but never shows weakness.
Steve worried for Joanna from the bottom of his heart.After a long day at the gym, Steve decides to break out of his usual routine and start by texting Joanna.
Steve: Are you off work?Is work going well today?
Joanna stared at the message with mixed emotions in her heart.Personally, she didn't want to reply to this message at all, but... Joanna couldn't help but think about the little things she had with Steve.The asshole is S.H.I.E.L.D., it's Coulson.She shouldn't have let Steve shoulder her grievances.
Joanna sniffed and replied the message.
Joanna: Just got off work and walking back.what's up?
Steve: Nothing, just wanted to ask how your day was.
【Oh, Captain.If I hadn't known you already, I would have mistakenly thought that you were going to pursue me right now. 】
Joanna: (* ̄︶ ̄) Pretty good, how about you?
Steve: I'm fine too.Be careful on the road, if you need help, just let me know.
Looking at the sincere message, Joanna felt guilt surge up like a tidal wave.She thought for a moment, edited another message and sent it.
Joanna: Thank you, Steve.Really, you are a very good friend.I have no doubt that you will reach out to me.It's just that some things need to be faced and resolved by myself.Recently, my work is really not going well. In the past two days, I have also begun to reflect on myself.Please forgive me if I am not in the mood to reply to your message these two days or... forget to reply to your message.I assure you that there is no unhappiness between me and you.I just, need a little time.
Steve read the long message twice.He was sure that Joanna's subtext was "I've been in a bad mood for the past two days, don't bother me", he was old-fashioned, but not stupid.Girls, especially girls like Joanna who are polite and polite, always reject people in such a tactful way.After thinking about it, Steve still sent the last message to Joanna.
Steve: OK.I just want you to know that I will always have your back as a friend.
Joanna felt her nose sore.She took a deep breath and put the phone in her bag.
[No, Steve, that's not the case.If you find out that I'm not a friend, you won't support me. 】
For a period of time, Joanna didn't contact Steve again.Not only that, she didn't even report the progress of the task to Coulson.Because Coulson was busy with Stark's affairs, he didn't have time to deal with Joanna's emotional problems for a while.Suddenly, Joanna had the illusion that she had returned to her previous simple life.Life suddenly became easier and smoother.
However, life is easy for Joanna, not so easy for Rumlow next door to her.
The days of intensive intelligence some time ago suddenly disappeared.Joanna stopped asking Steve over to her house.No matter what he came to her house to do, Steve never showed up again.Not only that, but Joanna doesn't seem to be going out to meet Steve anymore.From Monday to Friday, she commutes to and from get off work on time every day, and she doesn't even have a nightlife for a drink at night.From Saturday to Sunday, she stayed at home for two consecutive days, and went out to throw garbage and go to the supermarket to buy food. Joanna didn't even want to change her home clothes.
Rumlow squatted at home day and night to monitor the movement in the next room, but apart from Joanna's cursing when playing games, the only thing was her silly laughter when watching comedies.
After spending a few days with Rumlog, he still decided to come forward to find out the situation in person.As a result, Joanna would receive food from her kind neighbors from time to time, such as extra apple pie, extra pasta, and extra fresh strawberries.
But all the while, Rumlow couldn't find a suitable excuse for Joanna to welcome him into the house.He needs to go to Joanna's room to scout the situation again.He needs to know if the monitor he's secretly planted there is working.If he needs to execute the action plan, he must remove the monitor in advance.
Already at his wit's end, Rumlow finally got a puppy from a stray dog shelter.The youngest dog.When he grabbed its head with one hand and grabbed it, it was still trembling under his palm.I don't know if it's because of the cold or because of fear.
Rumlow doesn't like small animals.But he thought the dog was just right.This look of fear can easily arouse a woman's love.Rumlow stuffed the puppy into a bag and took it back to the apartment.Before knocking on Joanna's door, he took the dog to the washbasin and doused it with cold water.The little milk dog whimpered miserably in Rumlow's hands.When he took the puppy out of the washbasin, the puppy shook even more.
Rumlow held the trembling little milk dog in his hands and knocked on the door of Joanna's house.
Before Joanna opened the door, she was still thinking that no matter what delicious food Rumlow sent today, she planned to refuse him.After delivering food for several days, plus the generous actions of the previous two days, Joanna can be [-]% sure that Rumlow intends to pursue her.It's not that she doesn't like Rumlow. To be honest, Rumlow has nothing to say, no matter his appearance or figure.She is affectionate and righteous to her, warm but not abrupt.
only……
ah!It's really hard for a woman who's rolled twice with Steve Rogers to say "you're the most handsome man I've ever seen" to other men.
Reasonably speaking, if a man is not the most handsome in the eyes of a woman, then the two of them can only achieve the achievement of being a friend at best.Joanna, on the other hand, doesn't want to have a girlfriend.
As soon as the door opened, Joanna hadn't even finished her "thank you, but I..." sentence, and a shivering little puppy was handed under her nose.
Joanna looked confused: "What the hell?"
"I picked it up on the road." Rumlow gently patted the dog's head. "It seems that it was attacked by a nearby child with a water gun. When I saw it, I was shivering in the grass."
"Fuck! Are these brats in need of cleaning up? How old are you still playing with water guns on the street! Don't parents beat people?" Joanna scolded and hugged the little milk dog from Rumlow's hand .
She hugged the little milk dog and went to the bathroom: "Dogs are not afraid, I will give you a hot bath, and then I will blow dry you!"
Rumlow didn't make a sound, and walked into Joanna's apartment logically.
Joanna didn't have time to pay attention to Rumlow at the moment, she just ordered Rumlow to find two dry towels, turned on hot water in the bathroom, and gave the puppy a quick bath.
Rum Laurant responded, then walked to the monitor calmly and checked it.After hesitating for two seconds, he took off the monitor, which was less than the size of a fingernail, and put it in his trouser bag.
When Joanna came out of the bathroom with the puppy in her arms, Rumlow had prepared dry towels and stood in the living room smiling at Joanna.
When the little milk dog saw Rumlow, he couldn't stop shrinking into Joanna's arms.Joanna caught it and handed it to Rumlow.Rumlow gently wrapped the little milk dog with a towel, and then slowly wiped the moisture from its body: "Okay, good dog. You are doing well, be obedient, be good."
Despite his gentleness, the dog kept trying to escape into Joanna's arms.Joanna had no choice but to dry it by herself.
Rumlow stared at the dog with infinite tenderness in his eyes: "Joanna, there is something I want to tell you."
Joanna's heart skipped a beat, too frightened to answer.
Rumlow didn't care, and said directly: "I have changed my job recently, and I need to go to New Jersey. I don't know when I can come back. I thought about it for a long time. This little guy is also to be blamed for being poor. Throw it to the animal shelter." So it's too cruel. I wanted to raise it by myself, but... can you help me raise it for a while? I'll come to pick it up as soon as I come back. I promise!"
Joanna, who was already ready to speak "Ten Moves and Refuses", was distracted by Rumlow, so she could only hug the dog on the spot and stand there in a daze.
Rumlow showed a embarrassed expression: "I really can't take it to New Jersey...Joanna, can you..."
The little milk dog whimpered and burrowed into Joanna's arms again.
ah!he is not chasing
"Someone hacked your network?" Joanna looked in disbelief.In her opinion, no one can hack Tony Stark's network, not even S.H.I.E.L.D.
Tony's face was ugly, partly because his body was still in a state of extreme weakness, and partly because Joanna mentioned something he didn't want to mention.Tony's tone was very blunt, without the slightest sense of ease and generosity when he molested|molested Harry just now: "Isn't this obvious?"
"But..." Joanna held back, but couldn't hold back, and finally blurted out, "Aren't you always the only one who hacks other people's systems?"
Tony glanced at Joanna, but said nothing.
The other party was able to enter his home and forcibly shut down all electronic systems because the other party had a password.This is not a competition between skills at all, this is him with complete equipment, but showing his back to people with ulterior motives.
And on this point, he didn't want to explain more to the mentally retarded SHIELD.
Harry has been paying attention to Tony's physical condition.Although she couldn't figure out how the hole in Tony's chest and the thing that looked like a lethal weapon kept him alive, Harry could still find that Tony's physical condition was very bad.
She took Tony's pulse again with a calm face.Tony instinctively tried to avoid Harry's hand, but failed.So he could only put on a cynical look, raised his eyebrows and looked at Harry: "By the way, beauty, you haven't told me your name yet."
Harley's face remained unchanged: "Haileen Quizell."
Tony laughed teasingly: "Baby Harry, tell me, what does it feel like to clasp my wrist? Will your heart beat faster?"
Harry ignored Tony, turned to Joanna and asked, "Where's your neighbor?"
Joanna froze for a moment, and then realized that Rumlow, who had been following them, had disappeared at some point.Joanna grabbed her phone and ran towards the stairs: "I'll go up and have a look."
Joanna quickly checked the basement floor where the studio was located and the floor where the living room was located. After finding no trace of anyone, she went around the garden and the main entrance to check the situation.
However, there was no sign of Rumlow anywhere.
Joanna's first reaction was: It's over, Rumlow has been robbed!
With the last chance of luck, Joanna took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Rumlow.
Joanna: Where are you? ! ! ! !are you OK? ! ! ! !
Rumlow: I have checked the villa. There is no sign of anyone else. You should be safe.I can't do anything else by staying there, so I left first.
Joanna frowned, suddenly realizing that her neighbor was extremely unreliable.So what if you can flip the door?Leaving the two girls at the scene of the crime at such a critical moment is simply what scumbags did!
Just when Joanna was slandering Rumlow, Rumlow sent her another message of explanation.
Rumlow: The last time I left a case, it was more or less related to Stark Industries. If possible, please don't mention me in front of Tony Stark again.I'm on the road back to town, call me if you need me.But remember, never mention me in front of other people.
Looking at it this way, Joanna felt that Rumlow's "scum" was justifiable.
No, no, think about it carefully, Rumlow is not a scumbag!He not only helped them enter Tony's villa, but also considered them after they were forced to leave, staying not far from the villa.
Joanna was a little moved for a moment, she returned a "thank you" to Rumlow sincerely, and then returned to the studio with her mobile phone in her pocket.
Tony hasn't recovered yet.Although he had regained some strength, even Joanna could see that his breathing was a little short at the moment, and the sweat on his forehead hadn't dried up.
Joanna was a little worried: "Do you need to call an ambulance?"
Tony shook his head: "It's too dangerous. If the other party knows that I'm not dead now, they will definitely attack again."
Joanna looked at Harley: "Then...there is no doctor here, if you are so stubborn, if you kill someone, we two unmarried women can't bear the responsibility."
Tony closed his eyes, thought for a while and asked, "Can we get tetrodotoxin?"
Joanna blinked: "Don't be overthinking it, it's not like you are sending people's heads!"
Tony didn't want to deal with the mentally handicapped at all, but just looked up at Harry.
Mental illness Harley knows how to treat it, but this physical function problem...she is only half a tank of water, okay?When I came up and asked her for something like tetrodotoxin, which is not considered a medicine at all, even if she heard it, she would feel frightened, okay?
Harley said seriously, "I'm a doctor who graduated from a regular medical school. Where can I get that stuff for you?"
Tony sighed regretfully, and looked back at Joanna.
Joanna quickly shook her head: "I can't even get into medical school, let alone get that stuff."
Tony lowered his eyelids speechlessly. "Contact S.H.I.E.L.D. They can get it."
"This...can't be." Joanna said suspiciously.
Tony only felt that his temples were throbbing violently. If he wasn't really unwell at the moment, he would have jumped up and caught Joanna and beat him up: "You contact, they can get it."
The boss's instructions are so clear that if you don't make a phone call, isn't that just asking for death?Joanna pursed her mouth helplessly, took out her phone and called Coulson.
After learning about the situation, Coulson immediately found someone to get tetrodotoxin, and told Joanna to protect Tony Stark before they arrived at the villa.
Joanna was speechless about Coulson's arrangement.
Did the guy misunderstand something?She is just an employee of the administrative department, not a female agent!How could she protect Tony Stark when she wasn't even given a gun?When the enemy came over, did she act as a meat shield in front of Tony? !
When Coulson rushed to the villa with tetrodotoxin and Pep, Tony was sitting on his back on the massage chair in the studio, his hands neatly resting on the armrests of the massage chair, as if tied by invisible ropes Live the same.Joanna, on the other hand, was sitting aside with a 30cm long boning knife.
In that scene, the lack of a rope is a proper kidnapping scene.
Pep, who had already had a very speculative conversation with Coulson on the road, saw this scene, and his face immediately darkened.
Coulson, who thought that he could rely on Pep to beat the side drums and join Tony as soon as possible, saw his partner's face turned black, and he also turned ugly.
"Joanna, what are you doing!"
Joanna jumped down from the workbench, still holding the boning knife tightly in her hand: "Protect Mr. Stark. You didn't give me a gun, I have to find some weapons."
Coulson's face was dark, and he didn't answer, his eyes quickly passed over Harry's face: "Who is this?"
"My friend, Harleen Quizell. Come and help me."
Coulson didn't scold Joanna publicly, but he still gave Joanna a look.It is a taboo for agents to drag irrelevant personnel into the task.But considering that Joanna had not received relevant training, Coulson couldn't blame Joanna for a while.
Coulson gave Tony the tetrodotoxin he brought, and Tony handed the toxin to Harley: "Miss Quinzel, there are analytical instruments and measuring instruments there, please help me dilute the toxin."
Harry took the vial containing the toxin and gave Joanna an uneasy look.Joanna didn't sort out the legal relationship for a while.It was obvious what Tony meant, and he felt that in order for his body to recover, he would have to inject himself with diluted tetrodotoxin.But if Harry's hands trembled, or Tony made a mistake in his calculation, a dose of toxin was injected, and he, Tony Stark, died, who should be responsible for today's life?
Just as Joanna was about to stop Harley, she heard Tony say to Harley, "Don't worry about her opinion. She can't give any good advice. Miss Quizell, I believe in your ability, you have to remember, you It's saving my life."
Harry took a look at Tony, and finally did not refuse. Following Tony's instructions, he diluted the tetrodotoxin for him.
While Harley and Tony were busy, Coulson called Joanna aside.
"What happened to that Quizel?"
"My friend, here to help."
Coulson looked serious: "What does she do?"
"Psychiatrist, rounded up, is also a doctor."
"Do you think it's appropriate to bring in an ordinary person?"
Joanna, who didn't intend to start a fight with Coulson, suddenly felt aggrieved when Coulson scolded her: "Mr. Agent, please be sober! I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't even know how to use a gun." I know! You haven't even given me a gun! Is it okay to pull me in?! I won't let her help, I won't let her help, who can I ask? Huh? Steve? Do you want me to send him a message now The news, he is so fit, he will be able to run from New York City in a short time!"
Coulson felt wronged by Joanna.He didn't want to tell Joanna that the headquarters and the New York branch were secretly competing at this juncture, and he didn't want Joanna to know that all the tasks they were carrying out in New York were very difficult.After holding back for a while, Coulson could only say "Sorry" to Joanna dryly.
Joanna pursed her lips and said nothing.His eyes were fixed on the three people on the other side of the room.She could see the three guys peeking at them from time to time, but because Joanna kept staring at them, the three of them were reluctant to cast their gazes in the end.
Harry injected Tony with diluted tetrodotoxin, and after about 6 minutes, Tony finally recovered.
Seeing this, Joanna strode forward and said to Harley, "Let's go, we should go back."
Hearing this, Tony looked up at Harry and Joanna.He found Joanna in a bad mood.He sincerely thanked Harley, and before he could express his gratitude to Joanna smoothly, he heard Joanna say: "There is no need for my words. Let's be smart and don't speak dark words, I'm just Aegis The Bureau sent to contact Stark Industries. Since you have met Agent Coulson, there is nothing wrong with me. Please don’t hack my phone in the future. I bought it with my own money. Not from S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
After saying this, Joanna took Harry's hand, turned around and walked out.
"Thank you" couldn't be said, Tony felt a little embarrassed, he gave Coulson a disgusted look, and then looked at Pep: "She took my boning knife away."
As soon as the two girls left the villa, they saw the car that Rumlow had left for them.The car keys were on the center console and the doors were unlocked.Joanna opened the car door and sat in, feeling even more grateful for Rumlow.
Harley was driving, and Joanna contacted Rumlow on her mobile phone in the passenger car.The two picked up Rumlow three kilometers away from the villa, and then returned to New York City together.
Because it was getting late, Joanna insisted that Harry stay at her house instead of going back to the hotel alone.When the three walked downstairs to the apartment, they were surprised to find that Joanna's house was brightly lit.
Both Harry and Rumlow showed expressions of "couldn't it be a burglar in the house?"The difference is that Harley is worried about the theft from the bottom of his heart, but Rumlow is thinking about how he can avoid meeting Captain America if the person in the room is Captain America.
In the current situation, as the only man present who could resist and fight, it was totally unreasonable for him not to take the lead in entering the house to check the security situation.
Fortunately, Joanna did not propose to let Rumlow enter her room first.She just stood downstairs with a tired face, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I forgot about it."
"what's up?"
"I'm a netizen." Joanna was depressed, and when she mentioned Steve, her tone was wan.
Rumlow still looked uneasy: "Do you need me to accompany you into the house?"
Joanna waved her hand.
It's impossible for Harry and Steve to meet.Harley stayed with her for most of the night, and she was the one who invited him to spend the night at her house in the first place.It would be too unreasonable to drive Harley away for a target of S.H.I.E.L.D.!Not only is it not authentic, but it will also look particularly suspicious.
But rumlo is different.She didn't need Rumlow to meet Steve.After what happened tonight, among other things, at least Rumlow knew that she knew Tony Stark.In case Rumlow and Steve slipped up during the chat, with Steve's cautious personality and high IQ, he might be able to guess her identity in two or three attempts.
"It's okay. It's my friend. He has the key to my house. Don't worry."
Rumlow heaved a sigh of relief, but his face was still a little worried.After repeated persuasion from Joanna, he said: "In this case, you should go back first. I also want to go to the supermarket over there to buy something."
Joanna nodded, thanked Rumlow again, and then walked up the apartment with Harry arm in arm.
"Netizen?" When they reached the second floor, Harry couldn't help asking in a teasing tone, "It's still a man."
Joanna let out a tired "hmm".
Harley knew that she was not in a good mood at the moment, so she deliberately picked up seemingly irrelevant topics to chat: "Be honest, how many times have you slept?"
Joanna frowned: "What are you talking about! Can you stop thinking about people like this..."
"Crazy?"
Joanna wrinkled her nose: "I was going to use 'dirty'."
"How can this be considered dirty? What's wrong with sleeping with a netizen? He sent it to the door by himself, and you didn't force him!"
Joanna thought to herself, the person in this world who can force her to be a netizen, probably hasn't been born yet.What kind of mental and physical qualities do you need to force Captain America!
Joanna stood still at the door of the house, turned to Harry and said, "He and I really have a very pure revolutionary friendship, so..."
"How about I go back to the hotel?"
"Harry!" Joanna stared angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."
Harry smiled, raised his hand, and nodded.
As soon as Joanna inserted the key into the lock, the door was opened by Steve inside.He did hear Joanna talking to someone outside the door just now, and now he opened the door and saw Harry greet him with a beautiful smile, but he still couldn't react for a while.
"Hello, Mr. Netizen. I'm Joanna's friend, Harleen Quizell."
"Hi. Steve Rogers."
During the gap between the two greeting each other, both Harry and Joanna entered the room and closed the door behind them.
Steve, who was suddenly in the same room with two beauties, became extremely cramped at the moment: "That...I...I'm worried about that hacker..."
Joanna gets angry when the hacker is mentioned.But facing Steve, she didn't get angry, she just smiled wearily: "That matter has been resolved, and there should be no more trouble."
Steve froze for a moment: "What happened?"
"Indescribable."
Joanna said "difficult to explain", but she didn't really "difficult to explain", she said so, just to stop Steve from asking further.From what she knew of Steve, if she evaded the question with vague words, Steve would be tactful to stop there.Sure enough, upon hearing Joanna's answer, Steve closed his mouth and fell into silence.
Harry felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing, so after saying a few witty words, he went to the kitchen to find a drink.
"Since there is no danger, I will go back." As a moral model, Steve felt that he should not stay in a girl's house for no reason.
At this moment, Joanna has completely forgotten SHIELD, and she no longer has the idea of "Fuck! For SHIELD, for my work, I must invite the guests from the last century to stay".However, this doesn't mean that she can be a scumbag who throws people away when she runs out.
Although in the beginning, Joanna did invite Steve to stay at her house in order to be close to him.But from Steve's point of view, he did come to protect her.If the danger is eliminated, just drive people away?Joanna really can't do such a scumbag.
And, from beginning to end, Steve was not in the slightest responsible for her tragic life.She had a quarrel with Coulson, and now she is tempted to fire S.H.I.E.L.D.But that doesn't mean she can vent her grievance and anger on Steve.
Steve, who has been frozen for more than 70 years, is so innocent!
Joanna looked at the time, and when she thought of Steve waiting for her at her house so late, Joanna felt even more distressed.
"It's getting late, why don't you stay here overnight? How can I let you go back alone so late?"
Steve laughed: "Even if I'm alone, I'm safe and I'll be fine."
These words were meant to comfort Joanna, but now they inexplicably poked Joanna's tears.
How can a person be fine?How could it be possible to have a good time!How sunny this sweet WWII veteran is!The damn S.H.I.E.L.D. still wants to use him!Damn Joanna Rickman for helping S.H.I.E.L.D. use him!
Joanna's mouth deflated and she almost burst into tears.
"Joanna?"
Joanna turned around: "I'm fine. You'd better...stay here temporarily for one night. Otherwise, I'll feel sorry. It's almost here."
Steve could tell Joanna wasn't doing well.Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he was somewhat worried about letting him leave Joanna and go home by himself.Steve didn't know how the hacker problem was solved, but what if Joanna made a wrong judgment?What if the other party came to the door while Joanna was alone?
Steve looked in the direction of the kitchen: "It's not convenient, is it?"
Joanna smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing inconvenient, Halle and I have been good sisters for many years."
Steve looked at the forced smile on Joanna's face, and finally nodded in agreement.
Harley, who had been paying attention to the movements of the two of them, came out of the kitchen in a timely manner, yawned, and walked towards the bedroom: "I'm too sleepy, I'll go to bed first."
There was a bit of deliberate playfulness in her tone, and Steve's ears couldn't help but pink.Joanna was also a little embarrassed by Halle. She was afraid that Steve would think too much, and Harry would also think too much, so she quickly answered, "I'll be sleeping right away, too."
After saying this, Joanna turned her head and said good night to Steve.Steve nodded and said goodnight softly.He watched Joanna walk into the bedroom, closed the door, and then turned off the light in the living room.
Rumlow, who had been standing downstairs, waited for a while, and after making sure that Steve hadn't left Joanna's house, he took out his phone and sent a text message.
A moment later, the reply came
- Approval action.
Harley was back in Gotham the next day.She intended to stay with Joanna for two more days in New York, but Arkham Hospital was in a hurry, as if no one could give psychological treatment to the mysterious criminal if she didn't go back.Harley was urged to swear by the phone. When this kind of official organization tosses people, it really has a lot of tricks.If killing people is not against the law, she would like to raise a knife to kill those ghosts right now.
Although Joanna was reluctant to leave Harley, she still put on a posture of "I'm fine, I'm going to work and I have to continue to hate the leader" in front of Harley.She drove Harley to the airport.On the way, I kept telling Harley to be more careful when going back to work, especially when dealing with criminals.
Harley didn't refute or explain, no matter what Joanna said, she agreed.
The two girls say goodbye after embracing outside the airport.
Joanna made up her mind that she didn't want to get involved in Tony Stark's affairs. After seeing off Harley, she went straight to the New York branch and returned to her office in the administration department with a steaming cup of coffee.She made up her mind that as long as Coulson didn't seriously apologize to her and give her a promotion and salary increase, she would resolutely ignore him.
I thought that Coulson would come to her first and ask for confidentiality regarding what happened last night.Unexpectedly, after waiting for most of the day, Coulson didn't come, but the gossip girls in the office chatted about topics that they usually didn't pay attention to at all.
"Did you watch the news this morning? It scared me to death! Even Manhattan isn't safe anymore, where else is it safe?"
"Do you know the cause of the accident? Someone said they saw robots fighting!"
"What! I heard that two tanks were bombarding each other!"
"Are you out of your mind? Did you understand the news? 'A mysterious lethal weapon was discovered on the streets of Manhattan'. Mysterious! Understand? Who has never seen a tank! I heard that a new weapon test went wrong."
"Oh, who are these people! Why are you testing weapons in the downtown area! How dangerous!"
Joanna's temples were throbbing from the chirping voices of these gossip girls, but unfortunately, after listening for a long time, she couldn't hear what happened.But no matter what it is, it must be a big thing that can make these gossip girls care about it!Joanna turned on the computer and searched for the news of the day.
If you don't search, you don't know.
Last night, the massive brawl between mech fighters on the streets of Manhattan made headlines.Fortunately, the fight did not damage many public facilities, but destroyed a Stark Industries building.
Joanna looked at the high-definition uncensored large picture released on the Internet, and felt that Stark Industries was not at a loss.
Your own boss did it and demolished his own building with his own hands. Can you blame others?It must not be possible!
Stark Industries had such a big accident, presumably there will be no peace in the future.
Joanna slumped lazily on the chair with the coffee in her hand.
According to Coulson's work style, I'm afraid he is trying his best to help Tony Stark through the public relations crisis at the moment, in order to establish an unbreakable revolutionary friendship with him.
Hmph, naive!
Joanna sneered a little sourly.
Because of the awkwardness with Coulson, Joanna not only dropped the task related to Tony Stark, she even didn't bother to contact Steve.Once you have a rebellious mind, it becomes a very annoying thing to patiently popularize the common sense of modern life to the veterans of the last century.If I have to make an analogy, it's probably a bit like "teaching a semi-demented elderly to use the TV remote control".Things are simple but simple, but after all, Joanna is not that half-demented old man, she doesn't understand how an ordinary thing needs her to teach bit by bit.A day or two is fine, but it is really a tormenting thing to persevere in the long run.
Just because Joanna doesn't want to contact Steve doesn't mean that Steve won't contact Joanna.
Steve spends his days thinking about Joanna who nearly cried in front of him the night before.That was the first time he saw Joanna showing such an aggrieved and stubborn expression.Even if she broke up with her girlfriend, even if she was stalked by a child after a car accident, even if she woke up in the middle of the night and was accidentally hit on the head by him... Joanna has always been lively and optimistic.She gets angry occasionally, but never shows weakness.
Steve worried for Joanna from the bottom of his heart.After a long day at the gym, Steve decides to break out of his usual routine and start by texting Joanna.
Steve: Are you off work?Is work going well today?
Joanna stared at the message with mixed emotions in her heart.Personally, she didn't want to reply to this message at all, but... Joanna couldn't help but think about the little things she had with Steve.The asshole is S.H.I.E.L.D., it's Coulson.She shouldn't have let Steve shoulder her grievances.
Joanna sniffed and replied the message.
Joanna: Just got off work and walking back.what's up?
Steve: Nothing, just wanted to ask how your day was.
【Oh, Captain.If I hadn't known you already, I would have mistakenly thought that you were going to pursue me right now. 】
Joanna: (* ̄︶ ̄) Pretty good, how about you?
Steve: I'm fine too.Be careful on the road, if you need help, just let me know.
Looking at the sincere message, Joanna felt guilt surge up like a tidal wave.She thought for a moment, edited another message and sent it.
Joanna: Thank you, Steve.Really, you are a very good friend.I have no doubt that you will reach out to me.It's just that some things need to be faced and resolved by myself.Recently, my work is really not going well. In the past two days, I have also begun to reflect on myself.Please forgive me if I am not in the mood to reply to your message these two days or... forget to reply to your message.I assure you that there is no unhappiness between me and you.I just, need a little time.
Steve read the long message twice.He was sure that Joanna's subtext was "I've been in a bad mood for the past two days, don't bother me", he was old-fashioned, but not stupid.Girls, especially girls like Joanna who are polite and polite, always reject people in such a tactful way.After thinking about it, Steve still sent the last message to Joanna.
Steve: OK.I just want you to know that I will always have your back as a friend.
Joanna felt her nose sore.She took a deep breath and put the phone in her bag.
[No, Steve, that's not the case.If you find out that I'm not a friend, you won't support me. 】
For a period of time, Joanna didn't contact Steve again.Not only that, she didn't even report the progress of the task to Coulson.Because Coulson was busy with Stark's affairs, he didn't have time to deal with Joanna's emotional problems for a while.Suddenly, Joanna had the illusion that she had returned to her previous simple life.Life suddenly became easier and smoother.
However, life is easy for Joanna, not so easy for Rumlow next door to her.
The days of intensive intelligence some time ago suddenly disappeared.Joanna stopped asking Steve over to her house.No matter what he came to her house to do, Steve never showed up again.Not only that, but Joanna doesn't seem to be going out to meet Steve anymore.From Monday to Friday, she commutes to and from get off work on time every day, and she doesn't even have a nightlife for a drink at night.From Saturday to Sunday, she stayed at home for two consecutive days, and went out to throw garbage and go to the supermarket to buy food. Joanna didn't even want to change her home clothes.
Rumlow squatted at home day and night to monitor the movement in the next room, but apart from Joanna's cursing when playing games, the only thing was her silly laughter when watching comedies.
After spending a few days with Rumlog, he still decided to come forward to find out the situation in person.As a result, Joanna would receive food from her kind neighbors from time to time, such as extra apple pie, extra pasta, and extra fresh strawberries.
But all the while, Rumlow couldn't find a suitable excuse for Joanna to welcome him into the house.He needs to go to Joanna's room to scout the situation again.He needs to know if the monitor he's secretly planted there is working.If he needs to execute the action plan, he must remove the monitor in advance.
Already at his wit's end, Rumlow finally got a puppy from a stray dog shelter.The youngest dog.When he grabbed its head with one hand and grabbed it, it was still trembling under his palm.I don't know if it's because of the cold or because of fear.
Rumlow doesn't like small animals.But he thought the dog was just right.This look of fear can easily arouse a woman's love.Rumlow stuffed the puppy into a bag and took it back to the apartment.Before knocking on Joanna's door, he took the dog to the washbasin and doused it with cold water.The little milk dog whimpered miserably in Rumlow's hands.When he took the puppy out of the washbasin, the puppy shook even more.
Rumlow held the trembling little milk dog in his hands and knocked on the door of Joanna's house.
Before Joanna opened the door, she was still thinking that no matter what delicious food Rumlow sent today, she planned to refuse him.After delivering food for several days, plus the generous actions of the previous two days, Joanna can be [-]% sure that Rumlow intends to pursue her.It's not that she doesn't like Rumlow. To be honest, Rumlow has nothing to say, no matter his appearance or figure.She is affectionate and righteous to her, warm but not abrupt.
only……
ah!It's really hard for a woman who's rolled twice with Steve Rogers to say "you're the most handsome man I've ever seen" to other men.
Reasonably speaking, if a man is not the most handsome in the eyes of a woman, then the two of them can only achieve the achievement of being a friend at best.Joanna, on the other hand, doesn't want to have a girlfriend.
As soon as the door opened, Joanna hadn't even finished her "thank you, but I..." sentence, and a shivering little puppy was handed under her nose.
Joanna looked confused: "What the hell?"
"I picked it up on the road." Rumlow gently patted the dog's head. "It seems that it was attacked by a nearby child with a water gun. When I saw it, I was shivering in the grass."
"Fuck! Are these brats in need of cleaning up? How old are you still playing with water guns on the street! Don't parents beat people?" Joanna scolded and hugged the little milk dog from Rumlow's hand .
She hugged the little milk dog and went to the bathroom: "Dogs are not afraid, I will give you a hot bath, and then I will blow dry you!"
Rumlow didn't make a sound, and walked into Joanna's apartment logically.
Joanna didn't have time to pay attention to Rumlow at the moment, she just ordered Rumlow to find two dry towels, turned on hot water in the bathroom, and gave the puppy a quick bath.
Rum Laurant responded, then walked to the monitor calmly and checked it.After hesitating for two seconds, he took off the monitor, which was less than the size of a fingernail, and put it in his trouser bag.
When Joanna came out of the bathroom with the puppy in her arms, Rumlow had prepared dry towels and stood in the living room smiling at Joanna.
When the little milk dog saw Rumlow, he couldn't stop shrinking into Joanna's arms.Joanna caught it and handed it to Rumlow.Rumlow gently wrapped the little milk dog with a towel, and then slowly wiped the moisture from its body: "Okay, good dog. You are doing well, be obedient, be good."
Despite his gentleness, the dog kept trying to escape into Joanna's arms.Joanna had no choice but to dry it by herself.
Rumlow stared at the dog with infinite tenderness in his eyes: "Joanna, there is something I want to tell you."
Joanna's heart skipped a beat, too frightened to answer.
Rumlow didn't care, and said directly: "I have changed my job recently, and I need to go to New Jersey. I don't know when I can come back. I thought about it for a long time. This little guy is also to be blamed for being poor. Throw it to the animal shelter." So it's too cruel. I wanted to raise it by myself, but... can you help me raise it for a while? I'll come to pick it up as soon as I come back. I promise!"
Joanna, who was already ready to speak "Ten Moves and Refuses", was distracted by Rumlow, so she could only hug the dog on the spot and stand there in a daze.
Rumlow showed a embarrassed expression: "I really can't take it to New Jersey...Joanna, can you..."
The little milk dog whimpered and burrowed into Joanna's arms again.
ah!he is not chasing
