[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

Of course, Joanna wanted to use Rumlow to do the surgery.

On the one hand, Rumlow has a high degree of cooperation with her, and from the perspective of carrying out work, she is definitely the most suitable candidate.Secondly, Joanna also wants to see Rumlow's real reaction to the whole plan. She urgently needs to know whether Rumlow is the ghost of S.H.I.E.L.D.After all, for Joanna now, finding a companion is really important.

However, Rumlow didn't give Joanna a chance.Not long after he finished asking the question, he sincerely recommended Ben Sean to Joanna.

On the one hand, he promised that Ben Sean would actively cooperate with the work of the PR department; on the other hand, Rumlow pointed out that the last press conference had actually exposed Ben Sean to the public. Ben Sean is the perfect lead.

Rumlow's analysis is reasonable and purely from the perspective of work.Joanna thought for a while, but couldn't find a rebuttal.Finally agreed to Rumlow's candidate.

The two chatted about other insignificant things over a simple dinner.Joanna was feeling a little uncomfortable all the time.Despite Rumlow's natural and friendly behavior, Joanna still felt uncomfortable.

Joanna didn't understand why she felt uncomfortable until Rumlow sent Joanna downstairs to her house.

Because Rumlow is a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., because she knows that S.H.I.E.L.D. has ghosts.

At that moment, Joanna couldn't help but think of Steve again.

Did Steve feel the same way when he learned of her identity?Knowing that the person standing in front of her is her friend, but because of her identity, she has to be on guard again and again.

Did Steve leave Washington in a hurry for this reason?Because he didn't know how to face her as a SHIELD employee?

Joanna went back to the apartment without turning on the light.After kicking off his shoes, he walked to the sofa in the dark and fell down.

She stared at the hazy ceiling in the dark, her mind blank.

About ten minutes later, Joanna turned sideways and took out the phone from her pocket.After hesitating for a while, she dialed the phone.

"Hello?" Steve's voice sounded, he sounded a little panting, Joann didn't know what he was doing.

"Still at get off work?"

Steve walked to a street light and stopped there: "No. Running at night."

"Oh."

The call came a bit out of Steve's expectation.To be honest, after not taking the initiative to contact Joanna for such a long time, Steve also felt Joanna's cold reaction.He originally thought that Joanna would slowly cut off the connection with him in this way. Judging from the current state, this is also the best ending.But Joanna called him anyway.But at this moment, the girl fell silent on the other end of the phone, not knowing what she was thinking.

Steve suddenly felt a little guilty.

"What happened?" Steve couldn't help but soften his tone.He didn't intend to show caring and tenderness to Joanna, which was not conducive to keeping the distance between the two of them.

"It's nothing." Joanna held the phone and let out a long breath. The breath hit the microphone, and there was a whirring sound on the other end of the phone, "I just miss you."

Joanna closed her eyes with a rather shameless posture.

Steve froze under the streetlight.It's not once or twice that Joanna played out of common sense, and today's straight ball also hit Steve, who didn't know how to counterattack for a while.Steve felt that he had suddenly become the boy in Brooklyn decades ago. When facing girls, he felt overwhelmed and helpless.

Although...the girl on the other end of the phone is a lesbian.

Joanna didn't feel like she was hitting a straight ball.She's just... telling the truth.Being in Washington made Joanna feel like she had nothing to depend on.None of the members of S.H.I.E.L.D. can be relied upon.No matter whether it is the director or the secret agent, no one can be trusted 100%.She felt that she was in a wolf's den, and now the only shepherd dog she could trust was standing by the wolf's den, as if wanting to keep a safe distance from her.

Thinking of this, Joanna felt extremely depressed.She felt that she shouldn't have made this call today.If Steve wanted to stay away from S.H.I.E.L.D., he should.

After a while, Joanna said in a muffled voice, "There's nothing else, I'm hanging up. Good night."

Steve was still immersed in that guilt, so he didn't say anything for a long time.Joanna waited for two seconds but did not wait for Steve's "good night", she hung up the phone sadly.

It was already very cold at night.Steve felt that the thin sweat on his body was rapidly taking away his heat.He should forget about the call and go back to running, or just go home and take a hot shower or something.

But Steve stood under the streetlight, unable to take a step for a long time.Finally, he sat down on the seat by the street lamp.He looked at his phone over and over again.After hesitating again and again, he dialed back the phone.

In the dark room, the phone screen lit up.Joanna didn't want to answer, she didn't care who was calling at the moment, she didn't want to answer it at all.Joanna pulled a pillow and covered it with the phone. The soft ringtone of the call was muffled, and it played a different tone.

The phone rang for half a minute and then fell silent.Joanna buried her face in the sofa cushion, trying to isolate herself from the outside world.Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, the phone rang again.

Joanna had no choice but to reach out for the phone and press the answer button.

"Hello..." Joanna should be weak.

Hearing the sound, Steve couldn't bear it again: "It's me, Joanna."

Joanna was startled, her heart beating wildly.She felt that her psychological reaction was a bit excessive, so she bit her lip and kept silent.

"Joanna, did... something happen?" Steve's voice was full of concern.It seemed to be back to the days when he hadn't revealed Joanna's identity.

Joanna replied after a while: "No, nothing happened. Everything is fine."

Steve sat on the public seat, looked up at the night sky where no stars could be seen at all: "Joanna, if there is trouble, you don't have to hide it from me."

"Yeah." Joanna felt a little moved. This World War II veteran who has been thawed for less than a year is more considerate than any modern person who is familiar with the lifestyle of the 21st century. "But I don't want to just cause you trouble."

Steve found that Joanna's voice was a little strange, it sounded like she was crying.Straight men's thinking is very simple, if you have any doubts, just ask!

"Are you crying?"

"No." Joanna sniffed, and felt that her voice could not be disguised anymore. While resenting Steve, a straight man of steel, who could break through the girl's disguise so directly, she used a bit embarrassing voice The tone said, "But soon."

Steve laughed: "Is your job not going your way?"

"It doesn't count. It's been going well recently."

Steve missed a shot, thought for a while and asked, "Which beauty failed in pursuit?"

Joanna:! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Joanna sat up in shock.

How did she forget this? !In Steve's eyes at the moment, she is still a lesbian!Did she act a little too...straight just now?She should have acted a little more bent.

o (╥﹏╥) o

Re-expression at this moment, I don't know if it's too late?

Joanna was silent, not knowing how to speak for a long time.

Steve thought he had poked Joanna's sore spot, and comforted him a little hastily: "Don't worry, Joanna. You just haven't met the girl you were destined for. Trust me, you will meet her."

[Trust me you ghost!You can't even tell if I'm crooked or straight! 】

Joanna took a deep breath: "No, it has nothing to do with that. I just... forget it, it's nothing."

Steve was keenly aware of the cautiousness in Joanna's tone: "Is it convenient to talk on the phone?"

Joanna gave a "hmm" without explaining too much.

"Can you handle it?" Steve frowned.

"So-so." Joanna laughed again after saying this, "If I can't handle it anymore and I ask you for help, will you help me?"

"Yes." Steve replied without hesitation.Not to mention Joanna, even he himself was taken aback.

The two were silent for a moment, and Joanna spoke first: "Thank you, Steve. I shouldn't delay your night run any longer. Good night."

"Good night."

Joanna hung up the phone first.She let out a long breath in the dark room.

There was a soft click from the kitchen window.Joanna froze, holding the phone, and slowly stood up.She touched the wall and turned on the main lights in the living room and dining room in one go.After confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the living room and dining room, Joanna went straight to the kitchen and turned on the kitchen lights.Suddenly, the entire living area was illuminated.

The kitchen window was half open, and Joanna couldn't figure out whether she hadn't closed the window or someone had opened it.Nervous by the noise just now, Joanna walked cautiously to the window and locked it.Then he took a kitchen knife, searched the rooms one by one, and closed the doors and windows.

After finishing this, Joanna sat back on the sofa.

As soon as he sat down, the phone rang suddenly.

Joanna jumped up in shock, and after seeing the incoming call, she couldn't help but swear.

"Hey. What are you doing?"

Coulson on the other end of the phone sighed, holding back his temper: "Did you just talk to the captain on the phone?"

"something wrong?"

"Joanna, I just want to say that it is not yet time to reveal everything to the captain."

Joanna was very disgusted with this task-oriented attitude: "Then what does it matter to me?"

Coulson looked at Nick, who was not looking very good, and said in a calm tone: "Joanna, things are not as simple as you think, and now is not the best time for the cheerleader to join the group."

Joanna stared at her sofa and replied after a moment of silence: "I understand."
