[Comprehensive Yingmei] Very good, this is very Tom Su

episode55

At [-] o'clock on Saturday night, Steve successfully found the small villa of Spano's family in Manhattan according to the address on Tong En's text message, and rang the doorbell.

After waiting patiently for a few minutes, the handsome man who came to answer the door made him a little dazed for a moment. He was in a hand with the bottle of good wine he was going to offer, and he didn't know whether he should hand it over.

Apparently he wasn't the only one who felt this way. The short-haired man in a simple gray T-shirt looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't intend to invite him in, but seemed to be making sure.

"Captain America, the guest invited by Tong En?"

He nodded politely and replied, "You must be Tong En's brother Aiden. Nice to meet you."

"You really came prepared, didn't you?" There was a hint of surprise in Aiden's eyes, and his tone was unpredictable. He took the gift, turned the bottle casually, and glanced up at Steve. She glanced at her husband before turning sideways to make way for him.

"Tong En, Captain America has arrived, isn't your 'well-prepared meal' ready yet?"

Hearing the sound, Tong En poked his head out and looked at the two men outside the door in surprise, not knowing where to put the spoon in his hand.

"Have you seen it? Oh, sorry, it will be ready soon... I'm sorry you have to wait a while, I didn't expect to make a problem with the puff pastry. Damn I should have used the lemon basil garlic sauce first Simmer that chicken breast!"

She spoke quickly, secretly scolded herself for not being good at cooking, and looked at Steve again, only to realize that he was completely dressed up and brought a gift for a return visit. The embarrassment was even worse, she was buried in the kitchen and even forgot the time , obviously didn't have time to change the clothes, and almost didn't dare to raise his head to face Steve.

"It's okay, don't worry, take your time," Steve waved his hand, interrupting her unspoken remorse, his eyes were soft, more like tolerance, "If I knew it was you who did it yourself, I wouldn't be like this I’m in a hurry, if I do it myself, many steps will go wrong, won’t I?”

Tong En didn't know what else to say besides smiling wryly and thanking her for understanding.She asked Steve to sit down in the living room first, or walk around and do some observations, and then plunged into the kitchen again, picking up speed.God knows how Barbara has persisted in cooking such a complicated project for more than [-] years, and guaranteed not to repeat it every week.

Ah, the profession of a mother is really great. She raises the family very well.

Steve didn't know the undercurrent in Tong En's mind when he was in a panic. He walked into the living room, bored, and looked around.From the row of trophies won by Tong En neatly placed on the TV cabinet to the family portrait oil paintings she painted, the deserted and simple interior design has a little more human touch because of these warm parts, which clearly show a sense of presence in every corner .

From the first moment he saw Tong En, he knew that she was a beautiful and capable girl. Although... she had obvious worries, now it seems that she is more outstanding than he imagined.

If he hadn't witnessed the girl's helpless and vulnerable moment with his own eyes, and heard the heart-wrenching past, he would never have connected the Tong En on the outside with the Tong En on the inside.

The kid who was despised by the wizarding world as a joke, did a great job here and was never satisfied with the status quo.

This should have something to do with Sepheus's almost strict requirements. I have to say, in Tong En's heart, on the surface of Seves, how much this man dislikes his little daughter and how high the goal he set for her is. In fact, it may be the opposite-like this tacky and straightforward way of showing off, every parent who is proud of their children will use it.

"Surprised? Our dork is surprisingly capable."

Accompanied by the sound of slow footsteps, Aiden's words came from behind him, which made him realize that compared with Tong En, the eldest son's presence on the outside is pitifully small, but he doesn't seem to care, and asked The tone of the words is also very leisurely.

He looked back, smiled and shook his head: "No, not at all."

"This is rare. I know what kind of person Tong En is and still express such opinions. Captain America, you are indeed not an ordinary person. You are also a little different from Stark and the others." She looked at him with interest.

"You can call me Steve directly. It is because of understanding that you can draw a positive conclusion... Don't you believe in your sister's ability?"

Steve's rhetorical question seemed unintentional, but his eyes were quite sharp, and Aiden couldn't speak for a while, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I……"

He lowered his head, laughed muffledly, walked to the side of the tea table, poured a glass of whiskey, and shook it gently.

"I used to believe very much, and I tried to...now..."

"Now?" Steve raised an eyebrow.

"How can you try to convince someone you don't even choose to believe anymore? It's hard, isn't it?"

"No matter how difficult it is, I will never give up, because that is the truth, and the truth deserves everyone's respect. I firmly believe this. And I also know that there must be a corner of her heart that thinks the same way."

Aiden handed over a glass of wine and smiled silently.

"You know a lot, Steve, and now I know why Tong En invited you."

"Because she decided to invite me to dinner in order to thank Luna?" He didn't know why, and was a little confused.

"No, of course not only that, you are special, outsiders will not be invited to our house for dinner, and Barbara will be very upset, and generally there are certain things in your home that you don't want outsiders to see and comment on, That's the truth, right?"

Aiden's smile is even scarier than when he is serious. He can pretend to be kind with a smile, but he can't disguise the alienation between his eyebrows and his tone of indifference or sarcasm.

Steve guessed that this should be a family tradition, including Tong En, who are all good at fake smiles.

He frowned reflexively, with some resistance.

"I still have reservations about you, but in comparison, you are easier to please my silly sister than Draco."

Draco?His frown deepened.Is there any connection between them?

"Oh, look at the expression on your handsome, upright face, no wonder Tong En likes you so much, just like that person at that time." Aiden rolled his eyes, and his voice became deeper and deeper, "The one who destroyed you without authorization I book people, exactly the same.

"Speaking of which, I think it's time for me to get down to business. Barbara won't be back until tomorrow evening, and you can spend the night here, too. I'll take my leave then, sir, and enjoy your meal."

Before Steve could react, he had already put down his wine glass, nodded, saluted simply and gracefully, and turned to leave.Hearing the sound of conversation in the distance, followed by Tong En's high-pitched rebuttal, Aiden briefly explained a few words, put on his windbreaker, and closed the door.

It happened so quickly and in one go, Aiden's movements were clean and neat, and even Tong En, who was carrying the stew out of the pot, couldn't help being taken aback, standing at the door of the kitchen, a little confused.

"Just leave like this?"

"Just go."

"Could it be that you guys chatted about something, and then... broke up?" Tong En did not forget to raise his eyes while placing the dinner plate, and joked at Steve.

"Of course not, we did chat, but the atmosphere is not bad."

He was right about this point, although he felt that Aiden's temper was exactly the same as Tony's joke, a little alienated and unspeakably weird.

Tong En nodded knowingly, and invited him to take a seat, while he sat opposite, twisting the cork of the red wine bottle with some difficulty, but he took it silently, unsealed it easily, and was even more embarrassed.

Seemingly aware of something, Steve poured her a glass, raised his eyes and smiled lightly: "makeyourselfathome." (Please help yourself)

"iamathome.that'smyword." (I'm at home right now, I should tell you that.)

"I know, don't I?"

She couldn't help laughing, brushed her bangs on her forehead, and joked: "Others also say that Captain America is a workaholic and has no sense of humor."

"Others also say that young girls don't understand responsibility, don't have ability, and don't understand empathy."

"Oh, it seems that they are all wrong," Tong En giggled, and changed the subject with a rare temptation, "Just like Tony and the others yesterday, they misunderstood."

He put down his wine glass, his blue eyes were as calm as ever, and his voice was normal, making Tong En unable to guess his true emotions: "Why did you suddenly bring up this topic?"

"Do you mind?"

"Not exactly, how should I put it... I think... about yesterday's incident, we who held two different opinions were not well thought out, but from a personal point of view, I understand Tony. However, the other way around Not sure."

"Of course not! You must know that Tony does understand you. As for the reason for the disagreement, it must be because there are too many and complicated things recently. Everyone wants to try to simplify and divide responsibilities between each other. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it can be regarded as insulation in disguise. The thing about the power shaft chip of the prototype machine, the thing about rescuing Luna, everything, don't you think?"

As Tong En spoke, he lowered his head in frustration.

"It's not a good feeling. Putting my shortcomings on the bright side, and being told that I can't help, I can probably understand a little bit."

Steve couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and for a long time, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"I know, I know it all," he said, "I also know that you will have some feelings, Tong En, you always care about other people's feelings, thank you."

She shook her head vigorously, signaling him not to care: "We'll find a chance to talk in the next two days, and Tony should be aware of it too. I'm with you, everyone."

"Okay," Steve met her gaze, his smile getting softer and softer.It made people unable to move their eyes away. When Tong En was a little immersed in it, he said again, "Then I should accompany you too."

"Together with what?"

The sudden shift of the topic to herself obviously caught the little girl who had already started eating by surprise, she blinked her big eyes in a daze, which was very cute.

Steve didn't answer, but still looked at her quietly. In the silence, she probably understood a little bit.

She sighed, suppressed her smile, and the expression between her brows and eyes was not as cold as usual.

"You have to mention that, don't you?"

"Well, friends should care about each other, don't they? Since you've already mentioned me on your own initiative, why shouldn't I?" Steve raised his eyebrows, showing a rare playful expression, raised his glass and slightly toasted her, sipping Take a sip.

But it was useless, the little girl was still staring at herself intently, but it was slightly different from before, she was very disturbed and began to tap the table with her fingertips.

"I'm really not mad at Draco anymore, I'm just mad at myself," she looked away, "I'm so useless, emotional, powerless, bullied, and because of my friends It sucks to blame him for past mistakes."

"You should have some confidence in yourself, Tong En. I'm very happy that you can realize your mistakes, but you have to know that you didn't do anything wrong from the beginning to the end. This is the result of history. Laughing It's hard to take it, I get it, why not try to handle it the way you used to? You took it successfully, you shouldn't let a bad boy like Pansy affect you..."

As Steve said, Tong En poured himself another glass of wine, raised his head, and drank it all, and couldn't help frowning.

"When did I succeed?"

She drank a second glass, and finally had the courage to meet Steve's eyes. The surprise in his eyes was exactly what she expected, and she could only smile wryly.

"Wrong Steve," she said, "you think too well of me."
