[Comprehensive] pragmatic theory of coquetry

two months later.Romania, Sibiu.

In the evening, a heavy snowfall fell, and the dark sky was filled with white snow, which reached the ground, forming a layer that almost covered the soles of snow boots.

There were many more pedestrians on the street than before, carrying things in their hands, talking and laughing, making this snowy evening lively.

The snack bars on both sides of the street exude a tempting aroma of food. In one of the barbecue restaurants, thinly sliced ​​meat is grilled on the grill, brushed with oil and cumin, and the stretched meat slices are soaked in seasoning The crispy, tender and delicious taste is released to the fullest, attracting people who have not had dinner to pass by and secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva.

The houses of merchants have begun to decorate Christmas decorations with red ribbons wrapped around green pine needle rings and golden bells in the middle. Looking in from the window displayed to the public, you can also see most of the decorated Christmas trees.

Today is December 23, but a strong festive atmosphere lingers over the ancient city of Sibiu early on.

A quiet little red umbrella silently passed through the street and the crowd, and went straight to the factory, which seemed a little lonely in the bustle, and still made the sound of machines.

Ten minutes before the workers got off work, the red umbrella stopped at the factory gate, as if waiting for someone.

The person under the umbrella was wearing a pink and tender coat, and the hat attached to the coat had two rabbit ears, and the blond hair dyed sugar pink was wearing ear muffs of the same color.

His small face was a little red from freezing, and his pink lips, which had been painted with lip balm, were slightly pursed. Although he looked up at the factory, he was very patient, and he didn't feel bored after standing in the snow for a long time.

Instead, an old man in a black padded coat in the factory saw her from the window, walked out slowly, and asked a few words in Romanian.

In fact, Lily can't understand much Romanian, and he spoke a little fast, vaguely discerning the meaning of "who" and "help", waved his hand, and replied in English: "I'll pick someone up."

The old man paused for a moment, opened his mouth, pointed to the sky, pointed to the outside, and spoke more incomprehensible words.

Lily originally tried to explain "she's here to pick you up" with body movements, but obviously it didn't work, so she bent her lips and faced him with a smile that was a standard response when she didn't understand.

It's like a chicken talking to a duck.

When the smile on her face was about to stiffen a little, there was a tinkling of bells in the factory, and the door behind the old man finally opened, and a crowd of workers came home from work.

Lily said "mulumesc (thank you)" to the old man, stretched her neck and searched among a group of men, suddenly her eyes lit up, and she shouted happily: "James!"

The wages of this factory are not high, and there are not many young and middle-aged people who are willing to work here, and there are only a handful of beautiful chicks who come here to find someone. All of a sudden, the eyes of the men fell on Lily, and they felt very sad. Secretly envious.

The man whose name was called by her was originally walking at the back with his head bowed. Hearing the voice, his face half covered by the half-worn black scarf lifted up, and her face was reflected in the silent dark green pupil. , when he finally came out, he already embraced the little woman who rushed over.

Who would have thought that such a cheap price would be picked up for this silent gourd who had just entered the factory.

Someone secretly thought.

By this time the snow had stopped.

The Winter Soldier took the little red umbrella from Lily's hand. The umbrella was covered with graffiti drawn with a signature pen when she was bored at home. He put it away and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"I don't have to work in the afternoon, the store is on holiday." Lily said, putting her hand into his big gloved hand, "Come here to pick you up from get off work."

Such an unusual dialogue, no one would have thought that the speaker would be Hydra in the past.

If the person who muttered to himself knew that the man who "gained a bargain" was the frightening Winter Soldier, he might really be scared out of his wits.

The failure of the insight plan has severely damaged Hydra's vitality.Pierce died in the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building, and the bodies of an unknown number of Hydra agents were buried under the crashed Helicarrier.

But it was precisely because of its great loss of vitality that Lily and the Winter Soldier were given the opportunity to leave—and because of Tom’s cooperation, the two left the United States and traveled to several countries before temporarily settling in Romania. Good month.

The landlord only knew that the Winter Soldier was a Romanian youth returning home with an American girlfriend, but he didn't know much about it.After giving a little money, negotiating a three-month rental contract, and explaining various precautions about the house, I seldom show up.

Falsifying identity certificates and using cash on a daily basis can lead a stable life for a few days in the city.

Lily works as a cashier in a small bakery—because of her pretty face, she can attract customers even though she doesn’t speak a few words of Romanian. Arabic numerals are common to both Romanian and English speakers, and there are not many obstacles , the store manager made an exception and hired her. The salary was not high, and it was enough to meet the ordinary living expenses.

"I'm cooking today." Lily and the Winter Soldier walked slowly on the street, counting the vegetables they bought today with their fingers, "Potatoes... Potatoes and beef stew, okay?"

There are probably twice as many potatoes on the plate as beef.After all, money needs to be saved.

It is only when the two of them live together that they realize that the Winter Soldier really knows how to cook.Tasting the taste...there are some that are even more delicious than hers, which inexplicably gives people a sense of frustration.

The Winter Soldier said nothing.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and there was a gust of wind when crossing the bridge. Lily gathered the collar of her coat and shrank her neck into the warm coat.

The big hand that held her in the palm suddenly let go.

Lily looked up at the man beside her, and the first thing she saw was the black scarf that he took off from her neck. The remaining body temperature and his unique smell fell on her neck like this, turning the night The chill of the wind dissipated completely.

The Winter Soldier took Lily today as if it was not the way home.

"But the road." Seeing that the Winter Soldier was about to make a turn, Lily pointed to the opposite side. She clearly had to cross the road before to get home, so she raised her face and asked.

He then raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side, still holding her hand, and said, "Buy something."

As soon as this sentence came out, Lily was really surprised.

From the past to the present, the Winter Soldier has rarely expressed his own demands.He didn't want many things at first, except for a few times when he couldn't bear to tease her, he took the initiative to ask for it, and he never showed any special desire to buy materially.

It's rare to say that tonight.

She was a little happy, touched the small wallet in her pocket, it was bulging and still had room to spend, patted her chest, and said generously: "Then go. I'll buy it for you!"

Now it was her who was pulling him, excitedly going to turn the corner and go forward.

Not long after turning the corner, we entered a commercial street.

Although not all luxury goods are closed in the bright windows, both the quality and the price are much more expensive than those in ordinary small shops. As a thrifty woman who has not been able to transfer a penny from her bank account, Lily seldom comes This street, even if you come, you have not entered the store.

In the past, she didn't need to blink her eyes to buy things, but now she has learned to be thrifty.Except for the lip balm on the lips and the cream on the face, there is no trace of cosmetics on the small face. I used to like to paint my nails on my hands, but now all ten fingers are clean.

The clothes on her body are cute, but they are also very cheap.

She didn't really care about these things—before joining Hydra, her life was more difficult, and she had to worry about meals and housing. Now she lives a normal life, and because of the presence of the Winter Soldier, she feels comfortable and secure.

"What do you want to buy?" Lily followed the Winter Soldier halfway through the commercial street, and passed by several shops selling men's clothing and men's shoes, but he didn't stop, looking at the window silently, not knowing what to think, just When she was asking a question, he shook her small hand in his big palm, and looked at her face.

The tinkling Christmas song that was played in advance in the shop was now their background music, she reflected him brightly in her eyes, and pursed her pink lips when she spoke, even without the decoration of lipstick and lip gloss Very nice.

The Winter Soldier didn't speak after all, and took her a few steps further, stopping in front of a cosmetics store.

Next to the cosmetics store is a women's clothing store, and beyond that is a jewelry store, all of which sell things for women.

The dazzling lipsticks, skirts, rings and necklaces all revealed a sweet attraction through the window glass.

His unwavering dark green eyes clearly showed that he was not interested in these things at all, and he looked down at the little girlfriend beside him again——

She is so small.

He sometimes wonders.A long period of 70 years has passed.How can we meet.

Meeting him was not a good thing after all.

He walked silently to the door of the store.

Lily opened her eyes slightly, grabbed him and said, "Where are you going?"

She's not stupid, she can probably guess his intentions after turning her head around, her Chengbi eyes were a little moist, she curled her lips and said: "I don't want those..."

The Winter Soldier let her hold him back.

The other big hand handed over the umbrella to her, reached into the pocket of the coat, fumbled a little, and took out a few banknotes that were half old and not new.

As Christmas is approaching, the factory pays wages today.

In the past, he was used to handling guns. If he wanted to choose a weapon for an assassination fight, he would know whether to use an AR15 automatic rifle or a grenade launcher even with his eyes closed. Now, when faced with the things women like, it may be difficult for him to choose. It was really difficult to speak, so I just whispered to her: "What do you like?"
