[Zhongyingmei] She is such a sand sculpture netizen

It is a bit embarrassing to have a drink but be stopped by someone.The first thing Joanna did was retract her slightly forward neck so that one of hers wouldn't look so... bad.

Seeing that Joanna didn't intend to drink the drink she didn't like, Steve also let go.But he still looks remorseful.

Joanna was a little confused, it was just a cold drink.Steve's acting too... a little too exaggerated.Besides, the reason she didn't drink the Frappuccino was not because of the taste, but because of...

Joanna sighed, walked to the trash can, and threw the Frappuccino that had turned into ice water into it: "Can you buy me mineral water? It's bottled, the kind just out of the freezer."

Hearing this, Steve looked around at the surrounding shops, and after seeing a small supermarket not far away, he immediately walked over.

Three minutes later, Joanna drank cold mineral water.When Steve handed her the mineral water, he even unscrewed the bottle cap for her.He still remembered how embarrassed Joanna was when she couldn't unscrew the mineral water bottle when she met him for the first time.

"Actually, I love chocolate-flavored drinks. I really do. So, next time you make your own hot chocolate at home, I hope you'll think of me. I just..." Joanna paused for a while before Continued, "I just don't really like drinking outside. Since... since Boston..."

"Feel sorry……"

Upon hearing this, Joanna looked up at Steve.Seeing his frowning slightly, Joanna felt a little funny.She patted Steve's arm: "Steve, don't show such an expression. It's not your fault."

Steve took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly: "No one can be sure that this must have nothing to do with me. And from what happened, it is very likely that the other party is because of me...Sorry, let you Get involved in these things."

Joanna thinks Steve is so sweet!Obviously he could stay out of the matter, but he still chose to shoulder the responsibility.These days, there are not many people who dare to take responsibility like Steve.

There is a small home appliance store not far away.Joanna didn't continue the topic, but led Steve into the mall to start a new round of shopping.This time, neither of them chatted anymore.It's like two purchasing employees who are dedicated to completing their tasks.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, the two finally finished their purchasing work.The sun is still powerful, falling in midair and indifferently scorching the concrete city.

"Thank you, Joanna. You helped a lot today."

"Don't say that, I just moved my lips." Joanna shrugged and laughed.

"So..." Steve hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Can I treat you to dinner? If you have no other plans tonight."

Joanna was silent for a while, then finally nodded slowly.

Steve breathed a sigh of relief, but soon, he realized that it shouldn't be worth the emotional change.It's just a dinner, and he shouldn't care about it whether Joanna accepts or rejects it.But he knew he was nervous because he wasn't just having dinner with Joanna.He has a question and needs Joanna's help.But he was a little afraid of the question, just as he was a little afraid of the answer.

Because the equipment in the apartment was not complete, Steve and Joanna ordered dinner at a restaurant near Steve's apartment.

I don't know if they went a little early, or because of other reasons, but the restaurant business doesn't look very good.In the whole store, including the two of them, there were only 5 customers.Everyone was scattered in various places in the restaurant, looking like they didn't care what happened around them.

Restaurant dishes are average.The steak was a bit old, but the sauce was really well done.In the past, even if Coulson forced her to have a meal with Steve, Joanna could enjoy the meal happily. As long as Steve didn't mind, she was even happy to tell some jokes at the dinner table, Yellow ones are fine too.

However, because of the day's events, until the end of the dinner, Joanna was haunted by a sense of guilt.Thus, she exhibited a silence that did not suit her.

It was Steve who broke the silence first.When he opened his mouth, there was only a small half of the steak left on the plate.

"Joanna, actually...I've always wanted to ask you..."

"Stop." Joanna raised her hand and made a "pause" motion. She took a deep breath and asked courageously, "Mind if I have some more wine?"

"Of course I don't mind."

When Joanna heard this, she didn't give Steve a chance to show her gentlemanly demeanor. She grabbed the wine bottle on the side, poured a large glass into her glass, and then picked up the glass, killing more than half of it.

Joanna let out a long breath, with an expression of "well, you can sentence me to death now".

Steve couldn't bear it, but he still thought it would be better to ask the question clearly.

"The other day Superman said..."

"Wait!" Joanna interrupted Steve again, "How about...or should I say it? It will make me feel better."

Joanna acted as if she was being tortured, which made Steve feel particularly unbearable: "Forget it, what you don't want to say..."

"Come on! I drank all the fortifying wine."

Steve:? ? ? ? ?

Joanna looked at Steve with his head tilted, and felt from the bottom of his heart that this old popsicle was so cute that it was a foul.She sniffed: "Actually... I know you are Captain America. I always knew..."

have to!He knew the answer to the question might offend him a little, but didn't know it would be so annoying.But what can be done?He started by himself, so he has to follow up with any answer?He just wanted to ask Joanna how she knew that Nick went to talk him into joining the team, and now, Joanna not only perfectly explained why she knew that Nick would go to him that night, she even explained a lot of things.

Like... her uncharacteristic patience with him.

Like...why was she attacked in Boston.

Steve felt that the good mood of the day was completely gone at this moment: "So...you are actually an agent?"

Joanna shook her head aggrievedly: "With my skill, it's not easy for you to have such a guess. I'm not a special agent, but... I just know that your identity has not been exposed."

"When did you know?"

"In the beginning." Jiu Zhuang was cowardly, and Joanna confessed frankly with the help of alcohol, "I knew you were Captain America from the beginning. They asked me to help you adapt to life in the new era."

Steve didn't like that answer, very much.This gave him a strong feeling of being betrayed.He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Joanna sniffed: "I think I'm doing pretty well."

Steve:? ? ? ? ?Is this a time for self-praise?

"So, you know when Fury came to New York to talk to me?" The answer to the question is irrelevant, but Steve couldn't help asking.In the beginning, he just wanted to know this.

Joanna peeked at Steve's expression: "I...I was in New York that day, I just...just didn't show up."

"You came with Fury?"

Joanna bit her lip and nodded.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became a little dignified.

Steve couldn't figure out why Joanna didn't show up that night.Although she won't welcome any good words from Steve when she shows up, but in Steve's view, he will not refuse such a request.Joanna's showdown with him that night was the wisest choice, because he was sure to forgive her.But she didn't, she chose to keep concealing it.This made Steve feel uncomfortable.He couldn't overturn the sinister conjecture that "S.H.I.E.L.D. is keeping Joanna for later use".

Steve looked a little scary when he didn't speak.Joanna was so nervous that she couldn't even drink the fortifying wine.She unconsciously straightened her back and trembled slightly.

Steve sighed, with a heavy tone: "Why didn't you show up when you came?"

"Because I don't have the courage." Frankly admitted her cowardice, which made Joanna's nose a little sore, "The director originally meant...Let me persuade you. They think we have a good relationship, and you always treat girls... ...be patient. The Chief thinks I'm the best candidate."

"But in the end you didn't show up."

"Yes. I got cold feet."

"why?"

Joanna looked at Steve, and the fear in her heart disappeared inexplicably at this moment.If I have to describe it, it's a bit like the kind of "ah, anyway, I'm going to die today" fearlessness.

"Because I don't have the courage to face you." Joanna's eyes twinkled, she was very pretty, "If I showed up that day, it would definitely expose the fact that I always knew you were Captain America. I dare not face it That fact. Because... because once I admit that fact to my face, it means that I have to explain a lot of things."

"for example?"

Joanna shivered, but finally summoned up her courage and said, "For example, the night we first met was not entirely by chance."

Steve looked down at the almost cold steak on his plate.A "I knew it was like that" face.

Having confessed to this point, Joanna didn't think there was anything worth hiding.She picked up the wine again, drank a little, and said in a slightly embarrassed tone: "There is... there is no Emily. I am not a lesbian. It is straight. The straight kind."

Steve:? ? ? ? ?

Steve's question mark face made Joanna feel even more embarrassed. She bit the bullet and continued: "When we met, I thought you misunderstood that I wanted to date... um. So, in a hurry, I said that I was... I didn't mean to lie to you either."

Steve took a deep breath, suddenly finding himself speechless.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Steve: What's the situation?My lesbian friend suddenly said she was straight.

Joanna: Surprised or not?You bent me once, now you straighten me!Proud or not?
