Dr. Warren is a little busy

After sending away the unkind Yelena Boris, Ashe returned to her office.And Bucky was still inside, sitting where the usual patients sat.

Ashe closed the office door, took off the doctor's white coat, and said to Bucky: "It's past the off-duty time, and they won't give me overtime pay if I stay any longer. So, what's our next arrangement? "

Bucky nodded, and said with some uncertainty: "A few days ago, the government gave me the subsidies and various bonuses for more than 70 years in one go, and I bought a house with this money. Do you want to go and see it?" "

"Really? That's really nice."

Ashe was a little surprised when he heard the news, so it seems that Bucky is now a middle-class man with no worries about food and clothing.

Bucky came here on a motorcycle, and he's a true friend of Captain America's in this hobby.And Ashe had to admit that Bucky's appearance on the motorcycle really made her want to whistle like a little girl.But when she herself sat on the back seat of the motorcycle and had to hug Bucky's waist tightly during the fast speed, her affection for motorcycles almost disappeared.

When they finally stopped on a quiet road in Brooklyn, Ash finally let out a long sigh of relief.She took off her helmet, pressed her chest tightly and said, "The last time I rode the captain's motorcycle, it wasn't as exciting. I think I like cars more."

Bucky is a little embarrassed and says, "I'm sorry you made me a little nervous sitting in the back."

The two-storey building in front of Aixi looks very new. It is a North American mixed style that is very common in the United States. It combines classic and modern, and is more simple and livable. It is different from the classic Hill Street or the luxurious X where she once lived. College is a completely different look.Bucky took out the key and opened the door, and the two of them walked into the house.Ashe found that the house had obviously just had residents, and it was still a little empty, as if it lacked some vitality.

"The original owner ran into financial difficulties not long after he moved in and had to sell at a low price, but he asked the buyer to pay the full amount in one lump sum." Bucky explained to Ashe, "I just happened to be looking for a house. And it’s close to where I used to live. Even though New York and Brooklyn have changed over time, I’m used to living around here.”

Ashe stood in the living room looking at the brand new house, and asked, "Are these furniture left by the previous owner?"

Bucky nodded and Ashe smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't choose such a homely style. It's not a criticism or anything, I just can't imagine you going to IKEA to buy these floral cushions and plush rugs look."

Bucky laughed too, and he said to Ashe, "I actually just moved in some clothes that you bought for me in London. So, what do you think?"

"I think it's great, really." Ashe looked up at the Nordic minimalist geometric chandelier on the ceiling, which is completely different from Hill Street and X Academy, and said, "It fits the look of my imagined home."

"I'm glad you like it here, because I hope that one day you can move in here and make it your home with me."

Before Ashe had time to think deeply about the meaning of this sentence, Bucky took out a small square red box from his pocket, knelt down on one knee, and opened it facing Ashe.

"Miss Ash Warren, I respect your kind and sincere character, love your gentle but tenacious character, and your noble personality and amiable charm attract me all the time. I, James Buchanan Barnes, sincerely Please be my wife and spend the rest of my life with me."

Ashe's reaction can only be described as complete shock, and she vividly explained what it means to be stunned.She couldn't utter a single word, she just looked straight into Bucky's sincere eyes.

She thought she would get a date invitation, or be confessed and become Bucky's girlfriend, but she didn't expect him to go straight to the last step so neatly.

But this ring is really nice.Ashe couldn't help but looked at the shining diamond, and decided in her heart that it must be more than one carat.

Ashe took a deep breath, faced Bucky with a sincere face, and opened her mouth with difficulty.

"Bucky, I don't want to turn you down, really, but I can't just accept it. I've never had this kind of, uh, I don't know..." Ashe said very embarrassed, "Okay, I mean Yeah, we've only known each other for a few months, and I don't know if it's the right time to make such an important decision...we need to have a serious talk."

So Bucky and Ashe sat face to face on the sofa, and Bucky put the red box containing the ring on the coffee table.

Ashe felt that she was still a little confused, but the feeling of embarrassment and uneasiness was even stronger.But she forced herself to calm down, she didn't want to hurt Bucky, let alone miss an important turning point in her life.She tried to slow down her tone, trying to make it as normal as if she was talking about the weather.

"When did you get this idea? I mean, you actually bought the ring."

"After getting that money, it was the first thing I bought. This house is behind it." Bucky didn't seem to be so lost or depressed, he still looked at Ash with his sincere eyes, " In fact, I had this idea on the day I left London, and I have been seriously considering and planning this matter for the rest of the time. I know that the possibility of you directly agreeing to me is very slim, but I know that I really want to Do it. It's just a pity that I didn't do it well enough, the location wasn't romantic enough, and the pitch wasn't good enough. But the trouble that Norman Osborn and Yelena Boris created kind of irritated me, I mean, I couldn't wait Wanted to tell you all about my thoughts. I thought I was better at patience than anyone, based on my extraordinary experience, but I find that every minute of delay in this matter makes me feel more tormented and difficult Bear."

Ashe felt a little guilty, she didn't dare to say that she knew Bucky very well, but she knew that it would not be easy for him to say such a long paragraph.

"It's actually really, really good, Bucky, you really surprised me. I know you mean it, and I'm really surprised, but even more touched and happy."

Ashe quickly explained that she didn't want Bucky to feel that he was refusing, she just wanted to clarify some things that had to be discussed.

"But there are still some issues that need to be considered rationally, such as whether this is based on love, or are you just getting used to those dozens of days of ordinary people's lives and want to continue them forever. I have not experienced a relationship , and haven’t seen too many happy marriages. Although my parents are a good couple, I became an orphan when I was eight years old. Marriage stories such as quarreling, derailment, and family property. In fact, as a psychological counselor, I can’t establish a relationship with any patient beyond the relationship between the patient and the patient, because it is likely to be unreal emotions and empathy effects If I want to define it in a certain sense, I should be making mistakes that are not allowed in the entire industry."

"Ash, this is the first time I have this kind of emotion for someone, and it is also the first time in my life that I want to live with someone forever. I am as inexperienced as you, I don't know if it is right or wrong, Whether it's too impulsive, but I know it's real, and it's the most urgent need in my heart."

Bucky's eyebrows raised slightly, which made him look a little pitiful. Coupled with his words, Ashe's heart softened all of a sudden.

"I don't doubt you, I just have some concerns. If I were replaced by someone else, would you have the same emotion? If Director Fury hired a psychological counselor instead of me, but a man , or a married lady? I have to think about whether you love me as an individual, or just someone who has been through this with you? I know it's a bit of a joke to say this, but I think that due to the special circumstances, this Problems are inevitable."

Ashe was very confused, she knew that she was just making excuses, she was eager to get some proof, but even she herself didn't know what she wanted.She didn't intend to make things difficult for Bucky, but she knew that if she accepted this marriage proposal hastily, there would definitely be many troubles in the future, so it's better to eliminate all hidden dangers first.

"If there is no factor that attracts me to a person, then even if we share joys and sorrows for half of our lives, I will only respect her and not fall in love with her. Love is not easy to explain clearly. I love you just means that I love you You, I can guarantee that there is no dependence, no illusions and illusions. You don’t have to believe me, but you have to believe in your own ability, which will intuitively tell you the answer you want to know.”

Bucky looked frank, and his words were equally sincere, and Ashe began to feel that he was just making trouble for no reason.But she didn't want to use her ability to pry into Bucky's feelings. In this kind of thing, she didn't want to take this kind of method that was equivalent to cheating in the exam.

And Bucky didn't give Ashe too much time to think, he continued: "There must be a reason for fate to bring you to me. This can only show that even God wants us to be together. And the fact This is already the case, why should we think about so many possibilities and assumptions, it may just be asking for trouble."

As a psychology expert, this is probably the first time she understands the feeling of being speechless. In the past, she could always find something to analyze or faults to pick out. This time, she really has nothing to say. .Bucky's every word was sincere, and he was even trying to persuade him, and Ash, who had lived under the same roof as him for dozens of days, knew better than anyone how taciturn he was when there was no need to speak.

Love from the indifferent, and painstaking persuasion from the taciturn, both make people more easily moved.

At least Ai Xi is now defeated. Her so-called psychological defense is just a protective net built for herself, and the man in front of her is obviously not here to hurt her, so her defense seems redundant and ridiculous.

Ashe gave up her self-repression, and she finally relaxed the tight corners of her mouth. She didn't know that she smiled shyly and smartly, but she just looked at Bucky with eyes that concealed a little anxiety, and said tentatively: " I think we should start with the relationship first. But let me tell you, I really love the ring and your surprise proposal."

Bucky raised his eyebrows, and Ashe couldn't help laughing, he was desperate for an answer like a cute boy craving candy.

"Although we are still some way away from getting engaged, I think you can accept a kiss from my girlfriend as my boyfriend now."

Ashe took the initiative to stand up, crossed the distance between them, stood in front of Bucky and bent down, printing her lips on his cheek.

But she clearly miscalculated the situation at hand.

Bucky stopped Ashe's back neck with his right hand, and his indestructible metal left arm gently wrapped around her waist, allowing her to sit on his lap with ease, and then taught Ashe what kissing is.

Like the first flower to bloom in spring, the first snow falling in winter, this kiss is pure and beautiful, and it will make people enchanted without knowing it.

As for Ashe and Bucky, they were already familiar with each other's breath, and their lips and teeth touching at this time did not make them feel any jerky or uncomfortable, as if they were born to be so close.So much so that Bucky didn't relax his right hand resting on the back of Ashe's neck until Ashe felt some difficulty in breathing.

Ashe pursed her lips, feeling a little shy.She buried her head on Bucky's shoulder and said muffledly, "I'm going back to X Academy tonight, you will send me off, right?"

"Of course, I will. I can hardly refuse any of your requests." Bucky's hands were still on Ashe's waist and the back of his head, and he controlled the strength of his metal left arm very well, "I hope My next marriage proposal can be successful, so, would you give me some motivation, my dear Ashe?"

Ashe raised her head, looked at him with a smile for a while, and then put her arms around his neck tightly.

She put her lips next to his ear and said seriously: "I promise to send you my most sincere blessings."
