[Comprehensive] pragmatic theory of coquetry

On the second day after returning home, Lily went to a small shop selling Asian goods and bought a small lucky cat.

The palm-sized kitten with white porcelain red forehead is round and round, holding up its right paw, and shaking it on the table.

Actually a tumbler.

The clerk was very enthusiastic. Seeing her hesitating in the lucky cat group, she took the initiative to introduce: "Which one do you want? Raise your left hand for good luck, and raise your right hand for wealth."

Lily's eyes lit up: "Is there anyone who raises both left and right hands together?"

The clerk made a BINGO gesture with an expression of "meeting a bosom friend", but said: "No."

She was a little disappointed, but after comparing the two, she made a decision immediately: "It takes a lot of money."

In the end, the fortune-telling cat I bought was very small.

The price is not cheap at all, it is much more expensive than the big golden cat next to it.

Lily put it on the bedside table, and enjoyed the bonus from the mysterious power of the East every day. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to have piles of dollar bills deposited into the account.

After poking the lucky cat tumbler with her fingertips for a while with great interest, the novelty faded. She fell back on the soft bed, raised her hand to touch the phone next to the pillow, and clicked on the app.

All the recommended pictures and videos were boring, she swipe her fingers, but she still didn’t see the content she was interested in. Strange things happen every day in the world, and she just turned it off again after watching too much of the same thing.

After being quiet for a while, Lily's dazed eyes moved, she rolled over and lay on her stomach, her chest was squeezed together softly, and she tapped on the phone keyboard with her hands.

Typed "James" in the search bar.

The interface popped up, and unsurprisingly, there were no information items that met her requirements.There are [-] million people in the United States, and there are a lot of men named James.Doctor James, actor James, basketball small forward James.

The Winter Warrior named James is unique.

He is an enigma.

Last night, it was discovered that she accidentally rubbed the lipstick on his hand. She thought he would be angry, but the man didn't even frown, and looked at her silently with green eyes, unable to discern his emotions.

What does this mean.

Lily panicked, wanted to leave but didn't dare, took two steps slowly, then raised her eyes to look at his face.

I can't look at it, it's completely covered by the mask.

However, no one came in and out on both sides, and it was impossible to find a cover to sneak around.

"It can be wiped off with a paper towel dipped in water." She said, circling the index fingers of both hands, still a little unconvinced, "You cover my mouth yourself first."

Bite the pink lip, leaving a light mark.

The Winter Soldier still didn't speak.

One day he can tell her more than five sentences in one breath, and he really wants to tweet and tell the whole world.

Lily looked very timid to him, and wanted to hug his thigh, took out a small package of tissues, took out one, and quickly walked over to stuff it in his hand: "Wipe it for you."

A small, soft white paper towel lay in the palm of his hand, not a little bit.

The big palms slowly closed, as if he held her hand for translation that day, and it was just like that, completely covering her.

The Winter Soldier looked down at her.She didn't wear high heels, and her head touched his chin, so he didn't even have to turn his head when he hugged her.

Every time I get closer, I can smell the special aura on his body, which is mixed with the metallic smell of weapons, but it's not unpleasant.

Lily's heartbeat was inexplicably faster, and she murmured: "I'm really home." Like a thief, she quickly stepped back a few steps.

At this moment, Pierce came out with a few people. Her small face was indifferent for a moment, and she didn't look at him anymore, and walked behind Pierce.

Lily rolled on the bed.I belatedly realized that thinking about it all night seemed to be thinking about only one person.

Startled, she sat up stiffly.

The blond hair was hanging down loosely, and was randomly pushed back by her. Her cheeks were hot and covered with a thin powder, and her green eyes, which she couldn't see, were also sparkling, with small throbbing waves.

She hadn't seen the Winter Soldier all day.But after being hugged by him in the hotel, she was always in a strange state. If she didn't pay attention for a while, her thoughts would fly all over the sky, flying around, and finally, she would fly to him.

Lily took a deep breath in annoyance, fell back on the bed and pulled the quilt over her head, determined to clear her mind and go to sleep.

It fell into a dream really quickly.

It's just that the dream was still not quite right. An Sheng, the person who turned upside down and deliberately didn't think about it, just appeared beside her again, as if with a strong force majeure.

The man embraced her with his firm arms, and his breath, which was originally light and shallow, suddenly became heavy, and heaved against her back chest, which made her panic. She turned her head to look, and stared closely at her dark green eyes. But she restrained herself, as if the emotion in those eyes was the same as what she was thinking in her heart at this moment, it was indescribable and difficult to express.

"Are you..." Lily asked him softly.

The Winter Soldier was silent.The drooping eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyes, which made his heart itch, and he wanted to tiptoe and raise his hand to tease him.

It must be very soft.

"I'm Stockholm?" she asked herself this time.

Also got no answer.

In reality, Lily is probably a little afraid of him.But at this time, perhaps because it was a dream, that little fear disappeared without a trace.

She became bolder, turned around and hugged his waist, seeing that he didn't respond, she buried her face in his clothes.When the words came to his lips, he naturally said to him: "...but your lips do look very kissable..."

After he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and he was startled, and hurriedly changed his words. When he raised his head and looked into the eyes of the Winter Soldier, he was so stunned that he suddenly lost his voice.Before she could explain in the future, he coldly pushed her away first.

The fall really hurt, it was clearly a dream, but the pain in his back was extremely real, just as it was clearly a dream, the limp feeling of her hugging him was also extremely real.

Suddenly woke up.

Then I found that I fell asleep again and fell to the floor, without a quilt, and my bare arms and legs were cold.

Lily sat dumbfounded, her eyes fixed on the floor, the afterimages of the dream were replayed in her mind tirelessly, and she remembered clearly what she said as if she lost her mind.

She rubbed her temples violently as if exhaling, the more she rubbed, the more she got a headache, she wanted to climb back to bed and continue to sleep, but she couldn't sleep no matter what, she walked to the window with her bare feet on the floor, and opened the curtains with a "swipe".

The moonlight is clear and cold.A bird was flying alone, one swooped down, hit the wall of someone else's house, fell dizzy and fell in a straight line, struggled on the ground for a long time before taking off again.

Lily drew the curtain back.

She fumbled for the earphones on the bed, stuffed them into her ears, one left and one right, and went downstairs amid the amplified music. She opened the refrigerator and took a large bottle of ice water, and poured it down her throat.

"How could he push people like that." She stood in the dark and muttered to herself, but she was still struggling with the dream just now, "Wouldn't it be nice to be kissed by me?"

———————————

The consequence of staying up all night is that after dawn, I went to the old place of Hydra, and I was not energetic all the way, and the Ducati also lost a little pleasure in galloping.

Lily stepped into the elevator.This time it was rare not to use the surveillance camera as a selfie tool, quietly leaning against the wall, looking down and playing with the phone.

She painted Pikachu, which was forced to be washed off by Sisi's task last time, on her nails again, but this time it didn't work well, the small blob of bright yellow on the index finger of her right hand had an abrupt black mark on her face, and she added two more strokes to make it vivid It is also very cute to be painted as Pikachu of the underworld.

When the elevator door opened, she put away her phone and walked out slowly.

Looking around while walking, she didn't see the person she was looking for, and she didn't know whether to be lucky or disappointed.

His lingering eyes bumped into a figure in the aisle, and suddenly froze, as if he was looking at something inconceivable.

Lily stopped involuntarily, opened her eyes wide, and her complexion gradually became unsightly.

A thought flashed through my mind.

If it was back to yesterday, and Lili was asked to choose from a small shop that sells lucky cats, she would definitely choose an extra-large cat with her left hand raised as a sign of good luck, to get rid of today's evil.

Thinking about it, I made the wrong choice yesterday, and today I am so unlucky. Even if I didn’t complete the task that Pierce told me, and I didn’t make any money, it’s still far from what I’ve seen and heard at this moment.

Because the person she hates the most in the entire Hydra has returned from his mission.

She thought that person would go for a longer time, at least three to five years, but she didn't expect to meet again in only half a year.

Lily immediately turned and walked back with a stern face, and ran into Tom who had just stepped out of the elevator.

Holding a stack of documents in his hand, he bent his eyes and smiled when he saw her: "Why, unhappy?"

She still had a good impression of Tom, but she didn't want to talk to him at this time, and said in a low voice, "I'll go down for a walk and come up again."

"But, Lily." Tom stopped her in surprise, "Rumlo isn't..."

"Lily?"

I'm really afraid of what's coming.

Immediately behind him, a soft and soft female voice with a particularly charming ending sounded, interrupting Tom's words, and Lily's goose bumps fell all over the floor.

She didn't answer for a long time, and she didn't turn around. The person who called her name didn't mind, and approached slowly on high heels.

Tom shut his mouth wisely, and stood aside, seeing with his own eyes that every time the man took a step, Lily's face became ugly.

If the wall is willing to open a crack in time, I'm afraid she is willing to get in immediately, just to hide from the woman behind like a plague god.

He couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, because the woman walking in front of him had exquisite makeup and a good figure. Although she was smoking, there were quite a few women who smoked, and there was nothing to avoid.

Seeing that the elevator finally stopped again, when the door opened, Lily ran in quickly and frantically pressed the button.

When the doors on both sides were slowly closing, a hand reached in, easily breaking her attempt to escape.

The man's arrival was accompanied by a complex smell of perfume and smoke. Before speaking, he blew the white smoke on Lily's face.

Lily raised her hand to cover it in disgust, coughed a few times, and at the same time saw the person's face clearly.

It hasn't changed at all, even the lipstick color is the same as usual, which always makes her very disliked.

I really want to punch him in the past.

She did exactly that, and raised her hand to push the man's hand that was supported on the elevator wall. Unexpectedly, the other party was already on guard, raised her arm and hid, her posture remained unchanged, and her smile gradually deepened.

The more unhappy Lily was, the more excited she was about the convenience. Red lips moved closer to her and whispered in her ear, "I'm not welcome back?"

She felt that she should immediately find a bathroom and wash her ears.

———————————

"Her name is Sandy Thompson." Lily said, looking down at the Pikachu pattern on her finger, "Joined Hydra around the same time, and performed missions with me before."

She looked up and saw the coffee cup handed by Tom, she reached out to take it, and took a sip. The cold and bitter liquid slid down her throat, and she frowned: "I want sugar and creamer."

He quickly added her.

She stirred the coffee with a small silver spoon, lost her mind for a moment, and then said: "In short, don't get too close to her, and don't provoke her. Otherwise, you will be bored to death."

Just like talent.

Lily finally escaped from Sandy's entanglement in the elevator, but she still followed behind, chattering all the way: "I've been away for half a year, don't you miss me? I brought you a gift."

Lily didn't speak, she asked more vigorously, raised her hand to pick off the sparkling diamond necklace around her neck, as if giving a pebble, and handed it to her: "Maybe you will like this."

Sandy stepped two steps faster and walked on the same level as Lily, looking at the indifferent little face of the blond chick, he said quickly: "Tony Stark sent it. Although I didn't sleep with him."

She stretched out her right index finger and rubbed it against her lips, seeming to have endless aftertaste: "Well...but jewelry is enough to comfort a woman's heart."

"I don't want it." Lily only hated that the space in this building is too narrow to avoid her further away, so she turned and gave her a look, "Shut up."

Then I knew I was wrong.

For this woman who never plays cards according to common sense and has no logic of normal people at all, resistance and disgust will only increase her excitement and push her forward.

Sure enough, Sandy swept over with the fox, who had tasted the sweetness, with his big fluffy tail: "I heard that you are in a bad state recently, and you have missed twice this month."

If you don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures.

Lily swallowed hard her words, just pretending that she was deaf and blind, and quickened her pace without changing her expression.

If Rumlow hadn't come out to send this annoying boss away, I don't know how much longer he would have to suffer.

"Looking at your expression, she's annoying not just because she talks a lot." Tom said.

In the eyes of others who don't understand the situation, a beautiful woman with brown hair and red lips and moles of tears under her eyes is really not very lethal.

But Sandy Thompson is a hydra.

And it's an abnormal Hydra.

"That's right." Lily nodded, "She's crazy."

So she only performed one mission with Sandy.Some unhappiness happened during the task, so I never cooperated again.

"That's it." Tom was thoughtful, seeing that she didn't explain what Sandy was crazy about, and followed her to change the subject, "I came late, and I'm not familiar with her. Is she... an agent?"

Lily took out a tissue and wiped off her lipstick, and drank the extra-sweet coffee in the cup after adding a lot of creamer and sugar, her cheeks puffed up, and she swallowed, "It's a spy."

"Gers." Rumlow approached the reference room, saw Lily and Tom drinking coffee, and frowned, "Come out."

Upon hearing this, Lily got up, put down her cup, and said to Tom, "Thank you for the coffee." She quickly went out to follow Rumlow's footsteps.

Tom waved to her back and lowered his head to put away the glasses she had drunk.

Lily was also looking around behind Rumlow.

The Winter Soldier wasn't here today.

Pierce was there.Knowing that Sandy brought back important information, he changed his original itinerary and rushed over by car as soon as the meeting outside was over.

"This is the data report of Iron Man Tony Stark's armor." Sandy submitted the folder, "He is still developing a new armor."

Pierce took it and browsed it carefully from beginning to end, pondered for a moment, and said, "I want a video."

"Yes." Sandy beckoned, and the agent who had been waiting by the wall stepped forward and pressed the button to project an image on the virtual screen in mid-air.

There was chaos, and in the shaking picture was the face of a strange man.

He is panting.

He is still barking.

Lily choked, and her expression became strange.

The complexions of the people around, except for Shan Di, are all weird.

In order to capture important voice information, the sound is adjusted a little louder.The listeners were silent, and an awkward atmosphere gradually brewed.

We are all adults and know what kind of clandestine activity is going on on screen.

"Not this part." Sandy laughed, and took the remote control from the uncomfortable agent, "I'll tune it."

Tony Stark's face finally appeared on the screen.

He is talking to the camera.

The camera is also talking, in Sandy's voice.

Iron Man didn't realize that his every word and deed was being quietly recorded.At least not at the time.

Lily turned her head and met Sandy's gaze.

Sandy had been looking at her all the time, and when she saw her looking over, he winked excitedly, and mouthed, "Am I awesome?"

Lily looked away.

Thinking of Sandy in the past, he wore sunglasses for a long time and never took them off even indoors, and was often called by technicians to check his eyes.

She also thought she had an eye disease.

Until one day, Hydra's mechanical expert Lawrence announced that the experiment was successful, and she saw the eyes under Sandy's sunglasses for the first time.

The eyeballs are no different from normal people's, very gentle light brown, but they look a little dull.

"Let me show it." Sandy said.It seems to be standing on the stage where the spotlights gather, excited and joyful.

She blinked her left eye.The eyeballs immediately expand and contract like a camera lens, and after the mechanical parts are combined and assembled, it looks like a miniature camera.

Unlike the Winter Soldier, Sandy took the initiative to accept Hydra's body modification.

Lily still remembers the phrase she said with a sweet smile at that time, "Long live Hydra".

The author has something to say: To some extent Sandy is an assist_(:зゝ∠)_
