Ashe and Bucky sat on the bench for a while, and they chatted a lot under the warm May sun, but both of them tacitly didn't bring up that somewhat sensitive topic again.

The sun was about to go down, and Ash felt that Bucky had indeed visited long enough as a friend, even if it was based on the fact that they lived under the same roof for more than a month, it was enough.

"It's getting dark, you should go back. This place is far away from the city."

She took the initiative to say goodbye. In fact, she should have left him here for dinner, but she is not as comfortable controlling her emotions as before, and she is afraid that her not-so-good mood will be revealed.

He didn't need to worry about her moodiness, they were just friends, not even that close.Ashe convinced herself like this.

Bucky stood up and said, "I'll take you back."

Ashe wanted to refuse, but she nodded obediently, considering that she couldn't even walk easily.

Bucky squatted down silently, and Ashe lay on his back, and he carried him firmly.His back is broad and covered with strong muscles.The aura exuding from his body was very familiar to Ashe, and she even bought the clothes he was wearing.

Ashe couldn't help but miss the time when the two of them were roommates, quiet and accompanied, not noisy but never feeling lonely.In fact, the two of them get along very well, they can become good friends, Ash once again convinced herself in her heart.

Ashe put her cheek against Bucky's shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck, still clutching the bouquet of white hydrangeas.

"Thank you for visiting me and thank you for the flowers. The first time I received flowers, it was a really nice feeling."

Bucky laughed softly and said, "I should have bought roses. Every girl should have gotten a bouquet of roses."

"Oh, the suave Sergeant Barnes is online, right?" Ashe joked. "Where did you hide the taciturn Winter Soldier?"

Bucky replied solemnly, "I am both, my dear Dr. Warren, which would you prefer?"

Which one does she want?She just wants the quiet and gentle Bucky she's been with for days.

But what she said was: "Any one is fine, anyway, it's you."

Ashe felt a little cowardly, and she even began to understand why Holt was reluctant to be with Roxy.This kind of forward-looking, procrastinating and passive attitude is likely to be their family inheritance.

Holt was standing on the stairs on the second floor. When Bucky saw him, he put Ashe down.Ashe leaned on Holt wearily, and said goodbye to Bucky with a smile.

"Rest well, you should eat more food. I should go, see you next time."

Ashe smiled as gently as ever, and no one would say that there was anything wrong with her expression. She said, "Thank you for visiting me, Bucky. See you later."

Bucky left a smile, turned around and walked down the stairs again. After his figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs, the smile on Ashe's face disappeared in an instant, and she looked blank like a puppet for a moment.

Holt noticed something was wrong with her, he patted Ashe's head lightly, and said pitifully, "You didn't seize this opportunity, did you, my little princess?"

Ashe sighed and said, "What I need is not a chance, Hawley. I have countless opportunities, but I don't know if it is possible to win. I even wonder if I am too greedy. Maybe everything should go smoothly." Naturally, and now, we should put these things aside and go to dinner."

After dinner, Professor Xavier asked to have a good talk with Ashe.Ashe knew that the professor was still worried about her, and in fact, she didn't have confidence in herself either.

"Ash, how are you feeling today?"

"It's not bad. I think I'm over the worst and every day will be fine."

Professor Xavier didn't talk too much about these unimportant things, he directly talked about the most important issue.

"Ash, I want to talk to you about your ability. The soul is an overly general concept. Today I generally concluded that your ability can directly affect the soul. This statement is actually not appropriate. In a sense, we, It can be considered that the soul is a mysterious factor that dominates a person's subconscious mind, behavior, spirit, and feelings. And you can control a person from the deepest level. You can change his thoughts, control his behavior, and disrupt his emotions. Spirit, to control his emotions. In the past, you could only do the last point, because emotions are the most external part and the most easily affected part. Now you can easily do the rest, just, The side effects that come with it may make you uncomfortable."

In fact, Ashe still doesn't know much about her mutated ability. Her body has not yet recovered, and even daily activities are difficult for her. She still has no way of feeling the state of her own ability.

But Professor Xavier's words helped her understand her changes clearly.She was indeed a little apprehensive about it, but she was even more happy about it.

"This may be a good thing, at least no one will be able to hurt me at will in the future." Ashe said to the professor with a smile, "In short, I am like the manipulator behind the stage, and anyone can be the manipulator in my hands." A puppet, I can control it at will, right?"

The professor nodded, but his expression was not relaxed at all: "Yes, it can be said that way. But the difference is that the person who manipulates the puppet will not be affected by the puppet, but you are very likely to be affected by it. Your spirit may be affected. So hurt. I am very glad that you are an expert in psychology. You know more about these things than I do. However, I still want to warn you as in the past, don’t use your abilities at will, and don’t overdraw easily Your own ability, you and I don't know what the consequences will be."

Ashe is a counselor and she knows all about the horrible mental and mental illnesses.Anxiety, depression, phobias, mania, and even schizophrenia can easily destroy a person, and she knows it all too well.But it never occurred to her in the past that she, too, could be a victim of these diseases.

But from now on, she has to remember that this is a threat that is always with her, and every time she uses her ability, she will be more likely to step into danger.

"Professor, I feel that my control over my emotions is not as easy as it used to be. In the past few years, I seldom experienced large emotional fluctuations, but now a little thing can cause a huge change in my mood." Ashe lowered her head , Talking about my troubles to the professor, "I don't like this change. This feeling of not being able to control my emotions makes me feel a little upset."

Professor Xavier looked at Ashe with a smile, and comforted her and said: "In fact, this is a good phenomenon. I used to worry about whether you suppressed yourself too much. Normal people should have changes in mood with changes in the outside world, and because of You are overly sensitive to emotions, and you feel that this change is too drastic, even abnormal. But in fact, you should get used to this feeling, because it is a good sign that you let go of excess control and open your heart. "

"Knot?"

"Yes, I'm afraid your parents have always been in your heart. Because of their unexpected death, your ability exploded, and even almost caused serious consequences, which made you even more anxious in grief. From then on, you subconsciously restrained yourself your ability, and because of your special ability, you are also subconsciously controlling your emotions, even your own emotions. Now the appearance of your brother seems to have loosened this knot, I guess you may be gradually getting better change in direction.”

Ashe frowned slightly, she didn't know if this was a good thing, she only knew that it made her very uncomfortable.But she nodded obediently, and decided to trust Professor Xavier again.

"I will try to accept this status quo, as you said, it may be a good thing."

Professor Xavier has always been kind and caring to Ashe, which makes Ashe respect and trust him very much.

He showed a relaxed smile, and Ashe knew that this was the end of business time, and the professor probably planned to start talking about less serious business.

"You have a visitor today, don't you? How are you getting along?"

Ashe thought of Bucky, she couldn't help feeling a little heavy in her heart.

"It's nice, in fact, we're almost like old friends, very friendly."

After Ashe finished speaking, seeing the professor's expression, she sighed.Nothing could be hidden from the professor, which made it impossible for her to tell a lie.

"Well, I'm kind of worried about it, actually. I think maybe I'm thinking I shouldn't be. I mean, I don't even know if I know him. He's had a different life, maybe he I don't have any thoughts about this at all, and even if I do, it probably won't be for an ordinary, lackluster girl like me."

Ashe felt in her heart that if Bucky wanted to fall in love, it should be with a strong, omnipotent, and even a little ruthless girl.And Ashe is far from being strong, and her limp character is not very popular in the United States or the United Kingdom.

"Dear Ashe, no one is lackluster." Professor Xavier smiled and denied Ashe's statement, "Besides, you don't seem to know what an excellent person you are, and you are a bit too self-effacing. At least I like you very much. You are kind, friendly, independent, and you have your own persistence and toughness behind your gentleness. These are all very admirable. Besides, people’s mate selection criteria are just useless decorations most of the time , not to mention that you made the rules for him without authorization?"

Ashe blushed a little from the professor's praise, the professor was so sincere, she had to take these words seriously, not some kind comfort.

"I really hope you'll just head to him and tell me the answer. This process of searching is really uncomfortable."

The professor was provoked by Ashe's words. After laughing, he shook his head and said, "Actually, this is where the fun lies. And the answer behind this, we will always get it in the end, won't we?"
