Superhero's Physician[Comprehensive]
Chapter 147 Birthday Prelude
Lin Lan was surprised that Dr. Parikh had a son because she didn't know about it. When she and the doctor worked together in the laboratory, they mostly only talked about their work.Moreover, she didn't think it should be called a colleague, Lin Lan was just his little assistant, and didn't give the doctor any practical help.Lin Lan didn't even know that Dr. Parick, who puts the emphasis on work, was married, and other colleagues never mentioned it. Therefore, Kaden's appearance surprised Lin Lan. She looked at the man in front of her in surprise, Pretty unbelievable.
"Lorraine, I'm going to the dance floor first." Gemma said, and then said to Carden, "Dr. Parick, 11:30 is my speech time, I hope you can stay until then."
"Of course, that's why I'm here."
After Gemma left, Caden was holding a glass of cocktail. He first looked around at the flickering lights, and then took a sip of wine: "The atmosphere is very lively, which reminds me of my college prom 20 years ago. But there are not so many lights. You know, the technology 20 years ago is not as good as it is now, there is no such a big fluorescent screen, no fancy LED lights, and there is no beautiful lady like you, everyone is quite well-behaved, like a seminar.”
Carden's way of speaking is a bit like Dr. Parick's, speaking slowly, with a low voice, standard American accent, with the magnetism and humor of a mature man.
"Do you mind if we go to a quieter place outside? Miss Simmons told me your basic situation, but I think we need to get in touch with each other in advance to enhance our relationship, which will facilitate our future getting along." Carden handed her a hand A glass of green juice, "I really don't understand, most of the students in this school are not of drinking age, why there are more drinks than fruit juices."
"It must be prepared for people who can drink, otherwise the dance without alcohol will be boring." Lin Lan still has a slight liking for Carden. With that level of identity, Lin Lan will not deliberately take precautions. He is Dr. Palik The son of Dr. Parick, and he is also Dr. Parick, which will be very substituting.
The balcony of the venue was also surrounded by colorful lights, and the picture was very warm. Lin Lan stood on the high balcony and looked down, just like the scene in the movie "Romeo and Juliet".
"Miss Lin, are you cold?" When Caden said this, he had already taken off his suit jacket and put it on Lin Lan's shoulders. "Or, shall we go in?"
The marble-repaired balcony is far away from the hustle and bustle, and the windy night is already chilling, and Washington DC will become snowy in a few weeks.This will be Lin Lan's first winter in a foreign country. For a person who has already settled in the United States, he is a little bit looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere of the Spring Festival in a foreign country. (referring to Christmas)
Lin Lan was wearing a sleeveless long dress made of gauze material. Standing in the cold wind night, normal people should feel shivering, but she said, "Thank you, I'm not cold." He took off his suit, "You should wear it yourself." Lin Lan was still not used to the greetings of strangers, and she didn't want to touch his coat with men's perfume.
Carden readily took his clothes and put them on his arms without any embarrassment: "Actually, my relationship with my father is not very harmonious, and he is not married to my mother, so, I guess, my Appearing to confuse you."
Lin Lan was taken aback for a moment, looked at him and said, "Sorry, I have no doubts." The other party looked very similar to Dr. Parick, and she had no doubts at all, "I just remembered that I was with Dr. Parick in the past. It's a bit sad to see him in his day, but he's actually a very nice guy."
"Yes, he has always been kind to outsiders." Carden shrugged, "but he likes to bury his head in his own research. Although we used to live under the same roof, I almost forgot what he was like when he was young gone."
Facing Caden, who was in a similar situation to Brother Tony, Lin Lan somewhat sympathized.But the other party was an elder and her new mentor, so it was inconvenient for her to make unnecessary remarks, so she smiled lightly.
"Sorry, I'll talk about myself when I come here, because I always hear my father mention your name, so I'm no stranger to you at all." Caden saw Lin Lan's thoughts, and continued, " But I have to say that my father really admired you very much, when he was still alive." He deliberately paused, "We meet occasionally, and every time he will mention you many times, saying that you are a rare talent."
"It's Dr. Parick who thinks highly of me, but I haven't done anything." At least when the professor was alive, she felt that she really hadn't done anything.
"I know that what happened in the m laboratory has hit you hard. Even though my father and I have a tense relationship, I feel sad when I hear the news of his murder." Carden suddenly put his hand on Lin Lan's shoulder, and this time Both him and Lin Lan were slightly touched by the movement, "My God, you seem to be cold, let's go in, I don't want you to fall ill because of this before I start teaching you."
A strange look appeared on Lin Lan's face, and she didn't let the other party see it. If Lin Lan had a slight crush on Kaden just a moment ago, then at this moment, she already felt repulsed.
Lin Lan leaned back, and put the opponent's hand off her shoulder without any trace: "Okay, I think, I'll call you Professor Parick in the future, so I will feel very kind .”
"Well, if you're happy." Caden thought for a while and said, "I know you didn't come to class until one, three, or five in the morning, but it seems that you took a leave of absence for nearly a month last time, did you feel unwell? ?”
"Yes." Lin Lan nodded and said, "But I will complete the work assigned to me on time with quality and quantity, and the course will not be delayed. Don't worry." Whether you can successfully get a doctorate depends entirely on the mood of your supervisor , although she won't try to please her, she still has to be sincere when it's time to show her favor.
"Really, I thought it was because you were doing your own research outside that you didn't have time to attend class." Carden said, "I have seen the few videos you posted about viruses and medicine, they are very exciting."
"That's, it's just for fun, don't take it seriously." Gemma and Lin Lan are the same age, and they are lively and cheerful, so it is easy to get along quickly.But the new tutor is obviously a highly respected master, and Lin Lan will inevitably feel pressure when getting along with him.
"Don't be nervous." Kaden said with a slight smile, "Can I call you Lin, I think you definitely prefer others to call you by your first name. Regarding the video, I can treat it as your extracurricular practice. You have won a lot of credits, as long as you don't delay the subject I gave you."
"Thank you."
Lin Lan has always been very knowledgeable, but also too reserved. Maybe Kaden wanted to continue to say something, so he just said: "Jemma told me that you are a lively girl, but I guess, she may still treat you I don't know enough, you are a, um, gentle lady. But it makes me feel like a bad guy, trying to abduct underage girls, I don't look like a bad guy, do I?"
Lin Lan immediately understood what he meant, and then she softened herself: "You are very handsome, Professor Parick."
"Your answer made me feel better." Caden has been smiling modestly from beginning to end, even now, "I think it may be because you don't know me well enough, but I have known you for a long time , it makes me feel like I'm chatting with an old friend I haven't seen for a long time. I always wanted to meet the genius girl my father said, I'm very happy to meet you today, you are very beautiful in person, and I regret getting married .”
Upon hearing that the other party already had a family, Lin Lan let out a sigh of relief, "I also have a boyfriend."
"It's a pity, it seems that we didn't meet too late."
Gemma's graduation speech was very touching. Lin Lan thought that this reckless girl would falter nervously in the face of so many people, but she behaved generously and decently, and did not make a fool of herself due to stage fright.Nervousness is certain, and Lin Lan could see her hands shaking, but Gemma didn't read from the script, which was already very good, and she won loud applause.
After the dance, Gemma took a photo with Lin Lan. She couldn't tell Lin Lan where she was going. I'm afraid that after this parting, it would be difficult to see each other again in a short time.Jemma embarks on a journey without even sharing her contact information with her new friend, who is now a full-fledged S.H.I.E.L.D.
"I will miss you, Lorraine." Gemma and Lin Lan hugged each other tightly, reluctantly saying, "I'm looking forward to you breaking my graduation record, by the way, when is your birthday?"
Lin Lan didn't answer right away, but thought for a while before saying, "The 25th of next month." The reason why she had to think for a while was because she never thought her birthday would be on that time.But what is the old calendar to popularize to the old surgeon?Forgive her, they will get dizzy on the days that change every year.
Gemma became excited instead: "My God, you were born on Christmas, what a memorable day, Christmas!"
After leaving SHIELD Academy, Lin Lan put on a thin coat and waited for Steve's Harley motorcycle at the school gate. She came out 10 minutes early.However, Steve sent a text message 10 minutes ago, telling her that he was already on his way. If the dance ended early, he suggested that she stay at the venue for a while and come out after he arrived.
But it was difficult for Lin Lan to stay in such an atmosphere. She couldn't tell whether it was the fault of the video or the joint fault of Tony's sister.She couldn't just deal with one or two people's accusations in such a crowded place like before. Now she has to deal with a dozen people's gossip.Lin Lan originally wanted to be a beautiful woman quietly in the corner, but her plan to eat and drink alone at the venue also fell through.
Someone actually asked for her autograph today. At first Lin Lan thought it was because they wanted to ask her to get Tony's autograph. She was still thinking about how to refuse so as not to be so blunt.Unexpectedly, what the other party wanted was her own and not some Tony, which made Lin Lan flattered for a while, and finally experienced the feeling of being a star.
However, the person who gets the autograph will still ask "Where is Tony" next.
Lin Lan began to consider whether to hold an Iron Man signing event on the spot, and bring the fans' signature boards back to Malibu for Tony to sign one by one, ten dollars a sign, and there are discounts for more signings, maybe it can still rely on this Get rich.
"Lin, where is your home? I'll take you off." Carden's car pulled out of the garage and stopped in front of Lin Lan. "It's not easy to call a taxi in this kind of place at this time." It was a black Mercedes Benz.
"Thank you." Lin Lan glanced at the bright spot in the distance, "My boyfriend is here to pick me up."
Carden obviously had a disappointed expression.
When Steve's Harley stopped, he immediately took off his leather jacket to warm his thin girlfriend: "I know you'll say it's not cold, but I'm worried about you."
"Who said I'm not cold." Lin Lan gathered his leather jacket together, "It's so cold."
Winter in Washington has come, and the outdoor temperature at night today is 6c. Even in the daytime, the locals will wear a thick windbreaker.And Lin Lan is still dressed in summer, she is thin and weak, and the way she waits in the cold wind is even more distressing and inexplicable.
But it's all an illusion, she really doesn't feel cold to make such an outfit, but Steve just got out of the shower before leaving, it's probably because he did a thousand push-ups in the room, sweating profusely , the leather jacket carried the aroma of Lin Lan's favorite body wash.
Caden cleared his throat, finally drawing Steve's attention to his presence.
Steve asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"Lin Lan's new mentor, you can call me Caden." He rolled down all the windows, "Caden Parick."
"Hello, Mr. Parick." Steve replied politely, "Steve."
Carden looked at it from the car window for a while: "Did anyone say you look like Captain America?"
"It's the first time I've heard of it."
Caden shifted the car gear, and stopped when he rolled up the window slowly halfway: "My child, it is best to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle." He gave advice to Steve.
"Thanks for reminding."
After Caden drove away, Steve said, "Your new mentor seems to be very interested in you?"
"Since the video was released, there are many people who are interested in me." When he bent down and kissed Lin Lan on the cheek, Lin Lan also tapped Steve's neck lightly, "I really want to dance with you today. "
The dance party was not enjoyable, although there were quite a few people who invited her to dance with her, but Lin Lan rejected half of the inviters, and the other half only danced with them for a short time.Lin Lan could finally understand how Tony felt when he didn't want to participate in the reception and dance held by outsiders. Playing every scene was more tiring than fighting crime.
"Now? Here?"
"Of course not." She sat on the back seat of the Harley and hugged the helmet in her arms, "There will always be a day." When Steve also took the driver's seat, Lin Lan added, "Kaden One word is true, put on your hard hat, kid."
Time passed quietly in the busyness, and Lin Lan still thought about the twins from time to time, but they seemed to disappear out of thin air and never appeared in the comment area again.I don't know when that phone number became empty. The video specially recorded for them has helped many people. As for whether it has brought a glimmer of life to the twins, I don't know.
Lin Lan still couldn't figure out why the other party was so persistent in asking her why her surname was Stark. Could it be that the surname Stark had brought them a childhood shadow?It didn't make sense, Tony had never been to that country, not even anywhere near it.
In the end, she had to give up her plan to search for them.
"Oh, I can't think of it. In just half a year, you were instigated by the US imperialists." Lin Lan was having a video conversation with Zhu Naxi, and the other party was lamenting the sadness of the changing world, "I think back then, someone didn't even know how to use a computer. , and now he has become an Internet celebrity, life is impermanent."
"Okay, don't be sour there, your heart is still Chinese."
"So, girl with a Chinese heart, where are you going to spend your birthday this year?"
"You know I've never had a birthday." Lin Lan didn't care about birthdays because her birthday was not on December 25th in her previous life, nor was it on November [-]th in the lunar calendar this year. For her, birthdays are nothing more than calculating age It's just a day of growth, nothing special, "It's the Spring Festival, are you coming to the United States?"
"Let me just say, you won't be able to pay it back once you're a strong man. When are you going to marry your boyfriend, a writer? I'll save some money for you while I still have some money left." Zhu Naxi said, putting The mask covered her face, "Beauty, yeah, how many can you have in life? You are the second Miss Stark now, so you have to hire thousands of tables and set up a hundred-day banquet?"
"Why, is it possible that there are still several nineteens and twenty in life?" Lin Lan waved her hand, "When I reach the end of my life, I'll invite him to a hundred-day banquet. This year..." Even so, Lin Lan said With a new plan, "It depends on the situation this year. It's you, are you coming to play during the Spring Festival? Tony's villa is super big and luxurious. I license you to go in and visit for free."
"That's great, I want to come too." Zhu Naxi's tone showed regret, "But this year's Spring Festival I will represent my country to New Zealand to participate in an international programming competition, which is very important to me." The matter of visiting Tony's private villa If it had been half a year ago, she would have fainted with joy, but now that Zhu Naxi has new goals and pursuits, she has become rational, "It doesn't matter if you can't survive, anyway, I have already sent out the gift, and the old calendar is just like this." How many days?"
"Well, NO.30 at the end of the month."
"After you receive it, don't dismantle it. Contact me. I'll teach you how to use it. Spoiler first, it's a very small and sophisticated chip. I invented it myself and haven't applied for a patent yet." Zhu Naxi suddenly moved her face to the side. , there must be more than one computer in front of her, "Stop talking, something is wrong here, you should be an Internet celebrity yourself and take good care of my Tony."
"It's my Tony now."
After Zhu Naxi went offline, Lin Lan looked at the time, wondering why Steve hadn't come home until now. He left the door an hour ago, saying that he was going to the large supermarket on Washington Street to buy something.According to the previous situation, he should have come back. After pondering for a while, Lin Lan turned off the computer and went to meditate.
"Yes, Tony, I know, I also want to surprise her." In a jewelry store, Steve had already selected his favorite diamond ring and was waiting to be packed, "What are your plans?"
"I've got a racecourse for her, and nice horses of every color, she'll love it. I've got an appointment with Romanov and Patton to give her a birthday party on Christmas Day, and we'll be there for Luo It was a memorable day for Lan, and we all hope she will never forget it.”
Steve and Tony were thinking about how to create a wonderful birthday surprise for Lin Lan on Christmas Day, the girl's first birthday in America, the day she would become a real adult.
"She will never forget it." Steve took the beautiful little bag handed over by the salesperson, "I have a surprise too."
Tony sneered on the other end of the phone: "Why, Captain, are you going to propose on that day?"
Steve didn't answer right away, but curled up his mouth, and put the important ring gift box into his pocket.
"Did you really ask for marriage!" Tony raised his voice an octave, "Hey, you never asked me if I agree!"
"Well, then, Tony Stark, do you agree to let your younger sister Lorraine Stark marry me?" Steve asked symbolically.
"I don't agree." Tony replied quite simply, "She is the only one who will grow up in the future. Captain America is not the only good man in this world. She must be surrounded by many excellent men waiting for her to choose, but you want her Terminate selection?"
"Thank you Tony." Steve was deliberately thanking Tony for saying he was a good man, "but we all know there are more than one thing."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "Did Lorraine tell you that she is a nun?" Tony asked, "When did I tell you?"
"A half month ago."
"Aha, I found out two months ago, earlier than you." Tony cheered excitedly, "It shows that I am more important to him than you."
Steve stepped onto Harley: "Yeah, you mean a lot to her."
Maybe Tony didn't expect Steve to follow his words. People who are used to talking with Captain America in a "sarcasm" tone don't know what to say.There was a long silence from the receiver, and Steve thought that the other party was about to hang up and put away the phone.
"You know..." Tony finally spoke again.
Steve had already started the engine and had to move the phone to his ear when he heard Tony talking again on the phone.
"I have only one relative, Lorraine."
"You have Pep."
"Of course Pep is my relative, I mean blood relationship." Tony didn't expect that he would say provocative words to Rogers one day, and he suddenly wanted to smash the phone, "And you are about to take her away. "
"Stark."
"Don't interrupt, listen to me." Tony sped up, "So I hate you more, yes, I hate you more. I mean, if you were someone else, I could make him back off. I'm going to say What's more... God, what the hell am I talking about! Damn, why is that person you again!?"
Steve's brows turned into a cute little horoscope again, he felt innocent, he didn't do anything, but he was always hated by Tony, and he was helpless: "Tony..."
"Okay, that's it!"
Tony admires Steve more than he hates it. In fact, when he was very young, he once regarded Captain America as an object of study. Little Tony felt that this tall, blond man was brave and righteous.As time went by, he gradually felt that this veteran who wore the national flag was terribly bored. During the rebellious period, Tony firmly believed that it was Steve Rogers who deprived him of the fatherly love that should belong to him. It will be ridiculous and childish, but in any case, he really loves and hates Captain America.
However, Tony will not admit that he loves or hates Rogers, he just thinks he hates it, sometimes not so annoying, sometimes extremely annoying.
And such a person is about to become his close relative, but he can't stop him. Tony feels that his depression is about to worsen.
The busy tone on the receiver confirmed that Steve had hung up the call. He put on his helmet and started the Harley.
There was a vibration from the phone, and it was a text message from Tony: "If your financial ability is not enough to buy a big diamond ring, I can sponsor you. Don't let my Lorraine down."
Steve thought for a while, and replied with one: "Four carats."
Tony replied immediately: "Barely."
"Lorraine, I'm going to the dance floor first." Gemma said, and then said to Carden, "Dr. Parick, 11:30 is my speech time, I hope you can stay until then."
"Of course, that's why I'm here."
After Gemma left, Caden was holding a glass of cocktail. He first looked around at the flickering lights, and then took a sip of wine: "The atmosphere is very lively, which reminds me of my college prom 20 years ago. But there are not so many lights.

Winter in Washington has come, and the outdoor temperature at night today is 6c. Even in the daytime, the locals will wear a thick windbreaker.And Lin Lan is still dressed in summer, she is thin and weak, and the way she waits in the cold wind is even more distressing and inexplicable.
But it's all an illusion, she really doesn't feel cold to make such an outfit, but Steve just got out of the shower before leaving, it's probably because he did a thousand push-ups in the room, sweating profusely , the leather jacket carried the aroma of Lin Lan's favorite body wash.
Caden cleared his throat, finally drawing Steve's attention to his presence.
Steve asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"Lin Lan's new mentor, you can call me Caden." He rolled down all the windows, "Caden Parick."
"Hello, Mr. Parick." Steve replied politely, "Steve."
Carden looked at it from the car window for a while: "Did anyone say you look like Captain America?"
"It's the first time I've heard of it."
Caden shifted the car gear, and stopped when he rolled up the window slowly halfway: "My child, it is best to wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle." He gave advice to Steve.
"Thanks for reminding."
After Caden drove away, Steve said, "Your new mentor seems to be very interested in you?"
"Since the video was released, there are many people who are interested in me." When he bent down and kissed Lin Lan on the cheek, Lin Lan also tapped Steve's neck lightly, "I really want to dance with you today. "
The dance party was not enjoyable, although there were quite a few people who invited her to dance with her, but Lin Lan rejected half of the inviters, and the other half only danced with them for a short time.Lin Lan could finally understand how Tony felt when he didn't want to participate in the reception and dance held by outsiders. Playing every scene was more tiring than fighting crime.
"Now? Here?"
"Of course not." She sat on the back seat of the Harley and hugged the helmet in her arms, "There will always be a day." When Steve also took the driver's seat, Lin Lan added, "Kaden One word is true, put on your hard hat, kid."
Time passed quietly in the busyness, and Lin Lan still thought about the twins from time to time, but they seemed to disappear out of thin air and never appeared in the comment area again.I don't know when that phone number became empty. The video specially recorded for them has helped many people. As for whether it has brought a glimmer of life to the twins, I don't know.
Lin Lan still couldn't figure out why the other party was so persistent in asking her why her surname was Stark. Could it be that the surname Stark had brought them a childhood shadow?It didn't make sense, Tony had never been to that country, not even anywhere near it.
In the end, she had to give up her plan to search for them.
"Oh, I can't think of it. In just half a year, you were instigated by the US imperialists." Lin Lan was having a video conversation with Zhu Naxi, and the other party was lamenting the sadness of the changing world, "I think back then, someone didn't even know how to use a computer. , and now he has become an Internet celebrity, life is impermanent."
"Okay, don't be sour there, your heart is still Chinese."
"So, girl with a Chinese heart, where are you going to spend your birthday this year?"
"You know I've never had a birthday." Lin Lan didn't care about birthdays because her birthday was not on December 25th in her previous life, nor was it on November [-]th in the lunar calendar this year. For her, birthdays are nothing more than calculating age It's just a day of growth, nothing special, "It's the Spring Festival, are you coming to the United States?"
"Let me just say, you won't be able to pay it back once you're a strong man. When are you going to marry your boyfriend, a writer? I'll save some money for you while I still have some money left." Zhu Naxi said, putting The mask covered her face, "Beauty, yeah, how many can you have in life? You are the second Miss Stark now, so you have to hire thousands of tables and set up a hundred-day banquet?"
"Why, is it possible that there are still several nineteens and twenty in life?" Lin Lan waved her hand, "When I reach the end of my life, I'll invite him to a hundred-day banquet. This year..." Even so, Lin Lan said With a new plan, "It depends on the situation this year. It's you, are you coming to play during the Spring Festival? Tony's villa is super big and luxurious. I license you to go in and visit for free."
"That's great, I want to come too." Zhu Naxi's tone showed regret, "But this year's Spring Festival I will represent my country to New Zealand to participate in an international programming competition, which is very important to me." The matter of visiting Tony's private villa If it had been half a year ago, she would have fainted with joy, but now that Zhu Naxi has new goals and pursuits, she has become rational, "It doesn't matter if you can't survive, anyway, I have already sent out the gift, and the old calendar is just like this." How many days?"
"Well, NO.30 at the end of the month."
"After you receive it, don't dismantle it. Contact me. I'll teach you how to use it. Spoiler first, it's a very small and sophisticated chip. I invented it myself and haven't applied for a patent yet." Zhu Naxi suddenly moved her face to the side. , there must be more than one computer in front of her, "Stop talking, something is wrong here, you should be an Internet celebrity yourself and take good care of my Tony."
"It's my Tony now."
After Zhu Naxi went offline, Lin Lan looked at the time, wondering why Steve hadn't come home until now. He left the door an hour ago, saying that he was going to the large supermarket on Washington Street to buy something.According to the previous situation, he should have come back. After pondering for a while, Lin Lan turned off the computer and went to meditate.
"Yes, Tony, I know, I also want to surprise her." In a jewelry store, Steve had already selected his favorite diamond ring and was waiting to be packed, "What are your plans?"
"I've got a racecourse for her, and nice horses of every color, she'll love it. I've got an appointment with Romanov and Patton to give her a birthday party on Christmas Day, and we'll be there for Luo It was a memorable day for Lan, and we all hope she will never forget it.”
Steve and Tony were thinking about how to create a wonderful birthday surprise for Lin Lan on Christmas Day, the girl's first birthday in America, the day she would become a real adult.
"She will never forget it." Steve took the beautiful little bag handed over by the salesperson, "I have a surprise too."
Tony sneered on the other end of the phone: "Why, Captain, are you going to propose on that day?"
Steve didn't answer right away, but curled up his mouth, and put the important ring gift box into his pocket.
"Did you really ask for marriage!" Tony raised his voice an octave, "Hey, you never asked me if I agree!"
"Well, then, Tony Stark, do you agree to let your younger sister Lorraine Stark marry me?" Steve asked symbolically.
"I don't agree." Tony replied quite simply, "She is the only one who will grow up in the future. Captain America is not the only good man in this world. She must be surrounded by many excellent men waiting for her to choose, but you want her Terminate selection?"
"Thank you Tony." Steve was deliberately thanking Tony for saying he was a good man, "but we all know there are more than one thing."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "Did Lorraine tell you that she is a nun?" Tony asked, "When did I tell you?"
"A half month ago."
"Aha, I found out two months ago, earlier than you." Tony cheered excitedly, "It shows that I am more important to him than you."
Steve stepped onto Harley: "Yeah, you mean a lot to her."
Maybe Tony didn't expect Steve to follow his words. People who are used to talking with Captain America in a "sarcasm" tone don't know what to say.There was a long silence from the receiver, and Steve thought that the other party was about to hang up and put away the phone.
"You know..." Tony finally spoke again.
Steve had already started the engine and had to move the phone to his ear when he heard Tony talking again on the phone.
"I have only one relative, Lorraine."
"You have Pep."
"Of course Pep is my relative, I mean blood relationship." Tony didn't expect that he would say provocative words to Rogers one day, and he suddenly wanted to smash the phone, "And you are about to take her away. "
"Stark."
"Don't interrupt, listen to me." Tony sped up, "So I hate you more, yes, I hate you more. I mean, if you were someone else, I could make him back off. I'm going to say What's more... God, what the hell am I talking about! Damn, why is that person you again!?"
Steve's brows turned into a cute little horoscope again, he felt innocent, he didn't do anything, but he was always hated by Tony, and he was helpless: "Tony..."
"Okay, that's it!"
Tony admires Steve more than he hates it. In fact, when he was very young, he once regarded Captain America as an object of study. Little Tony felt that this tall, blond man was brave and righteous.As time went by, he gradually felt that this veteran who wore the national flag was terribly bored. During the rebellious period, Tony firmly believed that it was Steve Rogers who deprived him of the fatherly love that should belong to him. It will be ridiculous and childish, but in any case, he really loves and hates Captain America.
However, Tony will not admit that he loves or hates Rogers, he just thinks he hates it, sometimes not so annoying, sometimes extremely annoying.
And such a person is about to become his close relative, but he can't stop him. Tony feels that his depression is about to worsen.
The busy tone on the receiver confirmed that Steve had hung up the call. He put on his helmet and started the Harley.
There was a vibration from the phone, and it was a text message from Tony: "If your financial ability is not enough to buy a big diamond ring, I can sponsor you. Don't let my Lorraine down."
Steve thought for a while, and replied with one: "Four carats."
Tony replied immediately: "Barely."
