[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

After a brief shock, Ruby reacted immediately.

Her survival instinct allowed her to insert the fork directly into the last piece of leaking milk on the plate, and stuffed it into her mouth as quickly as possible. jumped down.

Ruby: Goodbye!Can't afford to provoke or hide, slipped away.

System: ... What kind of bad idea did you come up with with your toes!And before running away, he still has to eat, can you concentrate and respect the big villain, Mr. Iron Man!

Ruby: ...Operation Light, CD-ROM, everyone is responsible!

Tony watched as Ruby smashed the glass and jumped off. The few guests in the restaurant were in an uproar, and the restaurant manager and waiters around him were all dumbfounded.

Let’s not talk about why you will commit suicide halfway through eating—this glass is made of special material, and even bullets can’t pierce it. How did this thin and weak girl break when hit? !

"Charge it to me." Tony spoke concisely and very fast. Immediately afterwards, the bloody armor emerged from his body, and the red armor covered his body. The thrusters were activated instantly, and he ejected almost instantly. Go out and fly towards the falling Ruby!

Ruby felt the free fall. She used to be a little afraid of this feeling, but now she is basically immune to it, and even feels quite comfortable.

She even opened her arms, embracing the nightless Victoria Harbor like a bird spreading its wings.

"I'm going straight into the water," Ruby said.

"At least it's better than scaring people to death by falling on the road," the system said.

"I'm so pissed off," Ruby said, "Tony Stark, the damned capitalist, has his claws all over the restaurant. When I think that I will never be able to eat this restaurant's leaky milk again, I will... Ugh!"

Her words were interrupted by a sudden hug.

Tony hugged her falling body, in order to avoid damage to her due to inertia, he insisted on buffering for dozens of meters, and then started the propeller, and picked her up from the air less than 20 meters away from the sea.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

His tone sounded a little rushed.

Ruby: "..."

No!very busy!

Brother, aren't you reacting a little too fast, can you pick her up?It can only be said that he is worthy of being a superhero, and he has become a habit of saving people, right?

Instinctive of self-preservation and PTSD to White Can, Ruby automatically puts her hand between the two of them, seemingly trying to push Tony away.

Tony froze visibly.

He glanced down at the little girl who was hugged by him, and found that the latter was also staring at him with those beautiful eyes that he was all too familiar with, but after realizing his gaze, the little girl hurriedly looked away.

Ruby: ...Are you sure he's been rendered harmless, System?

System: That depends on your definition of the word "harmless".

Ruby: ...

For such a long time, Ruby has actually been secretly following everyone's situation on various media channels.

So she actually knows that this Tony is no longer the same as the former Tony. At least the former white pot will never do such great good deeds as setting up a foundation with hundreds of millions to fund the handicapped and handicapped. , he would only say "why waste resources on those who are destined to be eliminated?"

Tony looked at Ruby's dodging eyes, and couldn't detect her guard against him.

He felt chilly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. After all, in the final analysis, he asked for it... The little girl was very elegant and easy-going without giving him a severance before meeting him.

He didn't even dare to hug her hard, she must hate his touch, otherwise she wouldn't have pushed him away.

But this is still in mid-air after all, if you don't hug her, she may fall into the water.

Tony would not let Ruby fall into such icy seawater in front of him, even if he knew that this little girl could not be killed, of course he would not be afraid of icy water.

So he could only hold his breath, carried Ruby back to the dining room just now, and then put the little girl back on the chair she was sitting on just now.

"Sorry, I..." He wanted to apologize for his behavior of hugging her.

As a result, the people in this restaurant were particularly uncooperative. Seeing Iron Man successfully rescued a girl who wanted to commit suicide, they stood up together and applauded him excitedly.

"Yeah! Iron Man!"

"awesome!"

"Yeah! The Avengers Assemble!!"

Tony Stark: "..."

The whole restaurant was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere, and thunderous applause even alarmed the chefs in the backstage. Everyone stood in a row, cheering and applauding with dignity, as if there was no sentimental supporter.

If it was normal, Tony would definitely enjoy their applause, cheers and support, but now in front of Ruby, for some reason, he actually had the urge to jump out of that glass hole on the spot.

How embarrassing, there is such a place in this world that makes people die!

Tony Stark: ...Don't you look at the atmosphere when you talk!atmosphere!

Tony, who was so embarrassed that he was messed up in the wind, quickly said to the manager: "... Let's open a box, I don't think it's suitable for us to sit here now."

After he finished speaking, he regretted it!

Wait, open a woolen box, isn't that expressly expressing that you want to be alone with Ruby!

He is really crazy, the little girl obviously doesn't want to be alone with him, isn't this just a way to step on Ruby's thunder?

He really lost his mind!

However, the words splashed out, the manager immediately said: "You are right, we will arrange it immediately!"

A group of staff rushed to go immediately.

Tony: "..."

He subconsciously turned around to look at Ruby, and it was no surprise that he saw the look of scum in Ruby's beautiful ruby ​​eyes.

Tony: ...No!Little gem!You listen to me explain!

It's over, what should he do now?

Shouldn't he be more sensible and stay out of Ruby's sight so as not to upset her?

……no!If he really did this, it is estimated that there will be no next meeting!

He has to explain what happened before, at least he should apologize for his stupid behavior back then!

So he said quickly, "Wait a minute, Ruby, if you don't want to go to the box...you can do it here. I don't mean anything, I just think we need to talk."

Ruby glanced at the melon-eaters who had already started to take out their mobile phones and tried to secretly watch the videos, and sighed: "...Go to the box."

Tony's eyes lit up: "Really, really?"

This, does this mean that the little girl may not hate him as much as he imagined?

Ruby glanced at him helplessly: "You ask me? Don't you always like to make your own decisions?"

How rare, he would actually consider other people's ideas, and he was so careful, he didn't look like the arrogant Tony Stark.

Tony: "........."

Unable to refute.

Ruby was so right, it was so irrefutable that it was so devastating to Tony.

——His mood suddenly became worse.

……

Inside the luxury box.

On the big dining table, Ruby and Tony sat down at the head and tail respectively, wishing there were several meters between them.

Ruby: "... By the way, the letter I just wrote to Clark was only half written, and I have to rewrite it later, damn it."

System: "Is now the time to think about this question?"

Ruby: "...Can't you let me divert my attention? Otherwise, what if I can't control my emotions and beat someone later?"

Tony looked at the little girl's apparently absent-minded appearance, and the words he had already prepared were instantly forgotten. After a long while, he held back a greeting: "...Long time no see, you seem to be doing well."

Ruby said indifferently: "Yes." Thanks to you.

"Do you need some desserts or something? I heard that this restaurant's milk tea is pretty good."

"Ate."

"…………"

Tony was embarrassed again.

After a pause of two seconds, he took a deep breath and said, "Ruby, actually... I know I was an asshole before, and I really, really understand how wary you are of me, I deserve it, but I just want you to know , I will never do anything that will hurt you in the future, absolutely not, I swear!"

This is already a very firm oath for Tony Stark.

However, Ruby just raised her eyes and gave a very cold hum.

Tony: "...if you want to scold me, just scold me, it's okay, you can hit me if you want."

Seeing Ruby's indifferent attitude that seemed to disappear on the spot in a second, he was really uncomfortable. He would rather the little girl overturn the table and leave on the spot, or even splash the water in the glass on his face.

Ruby finally lifted her spirits.

"Actually..." she said softly, "I'm not going to scold you, I'm not going to hit you, Tony. You don't need to apologize, even if you are a jerk, you never hurt me, did you? So , Where did the phrase 'I will never hurt me in the future' come from?"

After all, the direct cause of her death was the blame of the unlucky Constantine, and before she was burned to death, Tony Stark tried to stop that guy.

Tony was struck by lightning.

……Grass!how so!This little girl doesn't look very old, why is she so clear-headed about things!Even more acutely aware of the problem than he is!

She actually saw through the essence of that sentence at a glance - "harm" or not, the standard line is not sure at all!Some people slap others and still think it is for the benefit of others!

How could he ignore such a serious problem and say such a stupid apology casually?Sure enough, caring leads to chaos, and when he saw Ruby, his mind was completely messed up!

"No, Ruby, that's not what I meant..." He hurriedly wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the little girl's calm face.

"Thank you for rewriting the system," she said, "and for the energy you gave."

Tony: "...that's what I should do."

But compared to all the stupid things he did to the little girl, it was nothing more than a tiny bit of compensation.

He even searched for those famous dessert shops all over the world, and tried to buy them all like collecting stamps, just to let little girls enjoy these delicacies anytime and anywhere one day.

But he also knew very well that Ruby didn't need these things—the things he did were not so much to make up for Ruby, but rather to make up for his own guilt.

... He has done this kind of thing too much, so he knows very well that this kind of behavior is actually useless, the damage has already been done, and it cannot be covered up and made up for by trivial compensation.

Then they fell into silence again.

Tony didn't know what to say, he felt like he was facing a prisoner of the correctional cadre, and nothing seemed appropriate, and everything he said was wrong.But Ruby didn't say a word, and didn't know what she was thinking.

So he thought that maybe he could help the little girl pour a cup of drink or something to ease the tense atmosphere—although the tea in front of the little girl was only half drunk.

He stood up.

And at this moment, Ruby was startled. She stood up quickly like a conditioned reflex, and took a half step back. The chair rubbed against the wooden floor and made an extremely harsh sound!

Because of her haste, her knees even hit the corner of the table with a bang, and the teacup on the table fell down immediately, and the hot tea splashed on her white skirt, accompanied by a crisp crackling sound , Glass shards smashed everywhere.

Ruby: "..."

She seemed to realize that this post-traumatic stress disorder-like behavior was inappropriate and impolite very quickly. She froze for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head stubbornly. Looking at the shards of glass on the ground, he just refused to look up at him.

Ruby: ...Sure enough, I haven't adjusted my mentality yet. I need to extend my trip around the world. The next stop is to go to the moon!

system:………………

Tony was stunned for a moment, and the next second he reacted immediately, ran to the little girl in a panic, and lowered his head to look at her white feet stepping on the shards of glass.

"Aren't you hurt?!" He was in a hurry, and when he saw Ruby's red knee hitting the corner of the table, his heart ached even more. "Does it hurt? Waiter, bring the first aid kit!!"

While calling for help, he hugged the little girl to keep her away from those dangerous glass shards, because he moved so fast that he even stepped on the glass himself, and the leather shoes worth tens of millions of dollars were basically scrapped on the spot.

As if he didn't care at all, he just hugged the soft little symbiote in his arms and put her on the sofa in the box.

"Why are you so careless!" He was angry and impatient, "I know you hate me, but if you are so frizzy in the future, you may not be able to find someone to take care of you immediately if you get hurt. Damn it, you should send someone to take care of you in the future. A medical drone is always on call!"

Ruby looked up at the panicked Tony Stark.

She was a little dazed: ... Has he forgotten that I am an invulnerable alien?

System: ...Maybe it's because the way you were burned to death left a deep shadow on him?

Ruby: ...
