[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Trouble is never alone.

Joanna went home, talked to herself, changed her clothes, washed her hands, and sat down at the dinner table.It wasn't until this time that Joanna noticed something strange.Steve hasn't said a word since she walked in the door.This kind of thing has never happened before, and there is something weird about the silent Steve.After finally pouring the juice, Joanna couldn't help but speak.

"Is something wrong?"

Steve shook his head, and after thinking for two seconds, he asked, "Is there any clue about Clark Kent?"

Of course Joanna knew that the reason Steve stayed in Washington was because of Clark, but it was one thing to know the importance of the matter, and quite another to find out the truth within a few days.Joanna felt a headache when she thought that she had sworn a few days ago that it would be more suitable for her to investigate Clark.

At the moment, she was still thinking about the S.H.I.E.L.D. incident that Rumlow told her, and there was really no way to switch to Clark's question in a second.

Joanna put the juice back in the refrigerator, and took advantage of this time to smooth her thoughts.

During this time, Steve kept watching Joanna's back.In Steve's view, Joanna's sudden silence was a sign of guilt.

What is she guilty of?Are you thinking of an excuse?

Clark Kent and Joanna knew each other?Is it a gang?

Thinking about this, Steve felt extremely heavy.If it was before today, he would never have such a crazy idea.But after watching Joanna's press conference today, Steve felt that many things needed to be reassessed.

He had to admit that he didn't know Joanna well enough.The Joanna on TV today is literally a different person.Aside from the familiarity of her aggressive tone, she was an unfamiliar politician at the press conference.

They used to chat about S.H.I.E.L.D.Of course, it's very simple small talk, and the chat doesn't even involve any work content.The two simply talked about their perceptions of S.H.I.E.L.D.At that time, Joanna behaved like Steve, and had a high degree of defense against S.H.I.E.L.D.But in today's press conference, Joanna showed great trust in S.H.I.E.L.D.It's not just trust, that suspicious counts as [-]% support.

This gap forced Steve to reevaluate Joanna.Those bad guesses that he suppressed before have all recovered now.They surround Joanna, making her mysterious and dangerous.

Joanna put away the juice and returned to the table.In just a short while, she had sorted out all the information.She sat down across from Steve.

"I thought he would make some moves at the press conference today. It turned out that the female reporter named Louise Lane was always asking questions." Joanna pursed her mouth a little remorsefully, "So..."

Steve didn't care about who that Clark Kent was at the moment.He wanted to know what happened to Joanna more than Clark.

Should I ask her directly?Or, continue to observe like this?

Steve was in a tangle.

Although Steve has a little more experience than Joanna, he really doesn't have much talent when it comes to acting.Joanna was no better than Henry, but she could still see Steve's strangeness at a glance.

Steve wasn't upset about Clark, at least... not just about Clark.

Joanna fiddled with the food on the plate, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What else... what happened?"

Steve was taken aback by this question.

The room fell into an oppressive silence.After a while, Steve said, "I'm going back to New York."

Joanna blinked.

Steve raised his head and looked at Joanna: "Is it okay for you to be alone in Washington?"

Joanna nodded slightly: "No problem. If you hadn't come to Washington, I would have to face these things."

Steve didn't answer, and ate dinner in silence.

One of the social rules of adulthood: If the other party doesn't take the initiative to explain, don't ask any more.

Joanna didn't know that Steve had something to rush back to deal with.But after thinking about it, Steve's home is in New York, so it's only natural that he knows New York.He didn't have to explain to Joanna, and Joanna was not qualified to ask.

But Joanna knew there must be something she had overlooked.

Steve wasn't the type to walk away knowing someone was in danger.

But so what?

No matter what the truth is.Steve didn't take the initiative to explain at this moment, and Joanna may never know the reason for the rest of her life.

Thinking of this, Joanna felt a little lost.

Steve is a man of action.He left Washington at noon the next day.Just left a text message to Joanna who is still working, nothing else.

Ever since she received the text message, Joanna has been restless at her desk.She didn't even bother to write the work report, and finally John helped her complete the report with both writing and correction.Joanna was also a little absent-minded when she went to report to Nick's office in the afternoon. Wilson, who went to report to work together, reminded her several times, but she didn't respond.But Nick didn't care about Joanna's attitude.

Joanna wonders what the hell is going on with Steve.She wondered if there was something she didn't know or overlooked.

She thought for two days but couldn't come up with one, two, three.Joanna felt the need to seek help.But who to ask for help?It is very likely that there is an insider in SHIELD, and the relationship between Steve and SHIELD is so delicate.No matter how you look at it, the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. cannot know that Steve has been behaving abnormally recently.After much deliberation, Joanna decided to ask Harley for her opinion.

The night the decision was made, Joanna emailed Halle.The email did not detail the circumstances of the incident, but only asked about Harley's recent schedule.But after two days, Halle did not reply to the email.It's just unbelievable.Joanna, who didn't want to call directly, finally called Halle during working hours.But to her surprise, the number she called turned out to be an empty number!

A terrible thought flashed through Joanna's head quickly.Before he could think about it, John knocked on Joanna's table and said, "Why are you in a daze! Someone is looking for you."

Joanna came back to her senses, her expression still a little dazed: "What? Who?"

John pointed to the door: "It seems to be a reporter from a newspaper. It is said to be Clark Kent."

Joanna looked in the direction John pointed.It was indeed Kent who was right.With a satchel on his back and those black-rimmed glasses, he looked non-aggressive.

Almost forgot about this guy!

Joanna sighed and stood up.What should be faced is always to be faced.Clark chose to meet her at S.H.I.E.L.D., rather than asking her out to a place where she couldn't call for help.Joanna gave herself enough mental preparation, then got up and walked towards Clark.

Seeing Joanna approaching, Clark quickly stood up: "Miss Rickman."

Joanna smiled slightly: "Want to interview me?"

"I want to talk to you."

Joanna didn't speak, just looked at each other.

"I know this is not a good place to chat. But I think if I ask you out, you will definitely reject me." Clark was straightforward, and directly expressed Joanna's concerns.

Next to the public relations department are several reception rooms.Joanna tilted her head: "Let's talk in the reception room."

Clark nodded and followed.

The two sat down in the reception room, separated by a long table, neither of them smiled at each other.

Joanna exhaled lightly: "What do you want to talk about?"

"Can you ask your friend to stop?"

Joanna frowned: "I don't quite understand what you mean."

"That computer-savvy friend of yours has been investigating me. It bothers me a lot."

Joanna heard the words, said a few sarcastic words casually, took out her mobile phone, and quietly sent a text message to Amber under the desktop.

"If I were you, I wouldn't send her a message at this time." Clark's voice was a little unhappy.

"What? The phone will explode after sending a text message?" Joanna simply took the phone to the table after hearing that, "You said my friend is investigating you, so I have to check with her, right? Is this kind of crime a casual confession? "

Clark didn't speak, and waited quietly for Joanna to finish sending the text message.

Amber, who spends 24 hours a day with the computer, recalls the information very quickly.Amber replied to Joanna within 10 seconds of the text message being sent.

Amber: Yeah, I did dig a little bit lately.But it’s not systematic, and I haven’t found a real hammer, so I didn’t tell you in advance.However, I have reason to believe that this Clark Kent should know Superman.

"Are you Superman?" Joanna looked up at Clark after reading the reply.

In fact, she meant to say "Do you know Superman?", but she was still thinking about Steve, and she slipped into "Are you Superman?"

The difference between one word and the meaning can be very different.Joanna was about to round up her words, saying that she had just slipped the tongue, but suddenly she saw that Clark's entire face turned black.

She froze for a moment.My head echoed "I wipe!"

Clark was indeed taken aback.He knew that Joanna's friends were looking for him, and he even specifically greeted those who knew him in the military and asked them to keep him secret.Who would have thought that Joanna's friend had already found out his identity.This is indeed bad news for Clark.He grimaced, thinking about what to do.

And here, Joanna is still surprised that "Clark Kent is Superman".She was so shocked that she lost the basic expression management ability.Despite the shock, she looked as if she was planning something not so bright.

Seeing this, Clark's voice sank: "What do you want?"

Joanna finally recovered.She quickly analyzed the current situation.Suddenly found that Clark Kent is a very good alliance object.Although, the two of them may not have any common interests at all.

Joanna frowned, thought for a moment and said, "You can beat Steve, right?"

The other party's thinking jumped a little, Clark didn't keep up for a while, and nodded subconsciously.

"Then..." Joanna thought for a while, but decided to ask directly, "Why don't you be my fighting coach?"

Clark:? ? ? ? ?
