Daily life [Zhongyingmei]

Tony didn't even notice the stupid smile, but when Pepper turned to look at him, the man with the moustache looked calm and reserved again, as if Pepper was dazzled just now.

"Baby Carrot, call again?" Tony tried his best not to show complacency. He stepped into the elevator and began to tease his son.

"I told you, don't call me that—ah!" Before Benny could protest, he was picked up by Tony, weighed him, hugged him happily, and poked his chin.

Tony thought smugly.The son is called Dad, what's wrong with him hugging him?I didn't dare to do this before, because I was afraid that little Benny would really prick him like a hedgehog.In fact, he has long wanted to play Benny.

The smug Tony even dared to challenge Benny's patience with his beard.Not to mention that the curly-haired kid wasn't so close before, he just thought about it before, and he wouldn't really do this kind of behavior.

Pepper watched as the curly-haired kid's cheeks puffed up, his eyes gradually changed from angry to super fierce, and he was about to explode into a blowfish.

"Tony—" Pepper said helplessly and sympathetically, trying to interrupt her boyfriend and boss's death.

Forced to put his chin on Stark's shoulder, Benny, who was pushed back and forth, vented his anger, and his super fierce eyes disappeared. He hammered his head on Tony's shoulder in despair, and could only say weakly: "—Bastard Stark, you pay me Christmas, you pay me the playground!"

The frightened Tony Stark is his own father, what can he do when he is playing with him?It's not just to forgive dad!This is for the sake of looking at the disease.

Benny secretly made a note to Tony Stark.

If it wasn't for coaxing Stark because of his illness, he wouldn't be so talkative!

"..." Pepper was silent for a while, his face changed slightly.Tony also froze.

The days of Christmas were like a taboo for Tony, but Benny said it so directly in front of his face. Pepper looked at Benny worriedly, and then at the subtle expression on Tony's face, afraid that they would reconnect with him. What kind of picture, I also don't understand why Benny said that suddenly.

"System desensitization?" Tony's breathing was really wrong for a moment. He tried to calm down and asked back.

Since he learned about Benny's psychological problems some time ago, Tony has been secretly studying psychology and child psychology by himself, and he has also heard about this kind of therapy.

Psychotherapy for PTSD can be difficult, and this is one of the ways.Step by step, let people get used to the things that cause trauma little by little, gradually eliminate the anxiety and fear generated, and finally no longer be stimulated, and complete desensitization.

The brat had nightmares every day during this period, and Tony had thought about it, but when he thought about Benny's fear of death, children's ptsd was still in a different form from that of adults, so there was only one way to do it.

Unexpectedly... Benny planned to use him first?This is to check the treatment of ptsd?

For a while, Tony felt angry and warm in his heart.

The elevator dinged to Tony's lab floor in Stark Tower.The three came out first, and Benny struggled unnaturally and asked to come down.

"I want to spend Christmas again." The curly-haired child raised his face, and his eyes wandered a little, but he forced himself to look directly at Tony and asked, "You promised us, go to the playground and play together for a day."

The words "Christmas", "playground", "promised us" all made Tony short of breath, but having mentioned "Christmas, playground" once before, Tony felt that his emotions could barely be controlled.

In particular, little Benny was the victim in the whole incident. In terms of psychological shadow, Tony felt that no one could compare to him.

"We'll go after I've perfected the virus on Pepper's body." Tony stroked the boy's head, finally restraining his unstable emotions.

"No, when we're ready," Benny retorted.

……

During the week when Tony improved the virus, Pepper decided to cooperate with Benny to see how far he could do it.

Because it is impossible for Benny to bring Tony back to that scene directly, it will be a severe stimulus for him and Stark, and it will be a direct nightmare.They have to be accepted step by step.

So every time Tony left the laboratory, or every time Pepperbenny came to the laboratory, he would always stimulate him, which made Tony feel very bad and unacceptable, but the treatment continued little by little.

"Benny, I can't imagine what I would do without you." Finally, on the most important day, Pepper stared at Benny tenderly and complained, "Once something happens to Tony, he will just hide it from himself, so that no one else will find out. "

Just like when he was about to die, Pepper was almost resigned by Tony, and she was the one who was kept secret until the end.

This time, the smart butler also asked for an examination. Under Benny's gaze, Tony had to be diagnosed in front of them.He doesn't like to treat himself, he only cares about how to treat Benny's ptsd.Benny also treats him in his own way, only thinking about how to treat Tony Stark, and doesn't care about himself.

——Although this blunder made Tony now have to receive treatment, but Pepper also knew that Benny was just like Tony in his bones, and he was also an uneasy Stark.He pushes Tony so much because he doesn't care about his body either!

This made Pepper now make up his mind.

Tony got cured, Benny got cured too!

Having said that, the most important day is of course the day when the family of three made an appointment to go to the playground.

They stayed in the Stark Tower for more than a month, slowly doing treatment.Winter is almost over, and the virus on Pepper's body has been deployed into a full version by Tony.Since then, she has become a warrior with infinite strength, who can resuscitate her limbs, and can set fire and high temperature without worrying about explosion.

Pepper was wrapped in a woolen coat and a large red scarf, and her blond hair was loosened. Contrary to her usual crisp and neat look of a strong woman, she looked much gentler and more beautiful.

Tony was wearing a two-piece casual suit, still showing the small energy reactor on his chest, Benny selfishly hated to admit it - no matter what Stark was wearing, as long as the glowing little reactor was exposed, any top would be It looks good.

Benny himself was wearing an ordinary dark gray children's top and pants with Superman printed on it.He originally wanted to wear a light gray suit, but suddenly thought that Tony Stark was wearing this color. If it was really the same, wouldn't it be the father and son outfit in the dream?

Benny endured and endured, but his ears were still red and he was unwilling to do so, so he changed into the current one.

The family of three first returned to Malibu through the battle armor - more than a month later, the villa has already been restored to its original state.Tony's new construction team had been brought in from New York with him, and they were moving fast.

Before the three of them arrived, Benny had already quietly instructed the smart housekeeper to use the battle armor to bring Xiaodai to decorate the living room.

"Merry Christmas." Pepper opened the door, looked at the familiar living room, took a breath, walked in and said.

Just like the real Christmas, a large cedar tree was placed beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, covered with lanterns and bells, and a small pile of firewood was actually placed in front of the large fireplace that was originally just for decoration. burning.

The ingredients for the turkey and the ingredients for the pie were all placed in the kitchen. Pepper went in to check, his eyes lit up, and he was about to take off his coat and make another Christmas dinner.

"Merry Christmas—brat, go unpack the presents." Tony glanced at the big Christmas tree tacitly, slapped the curly-haired child on the back of the head, suppressed the slight reaction in his heart, and urged.

There are already piles of gift boxes under the tree.Benny took Pepper and instructed the butler to arrange the living room, and he also secretly asked J to put away the presents.

Tony learned his lesson this time, the twenty or so gifts for Pepper were all expensive clothes, at least this is easier to understand than cosmetics.The other twenty or so gifts for Benny ranged from books to models of Captain America, the ice cream store transaction certificate, and the children's armor that was not given out last time.

"Merry Christmas." Benny staggered when he was photographed, but instead of getting angry, he turned his head, glanced at Tony Stark not to be outdone, and asked, "Mom is going to cook in the kitchen, and I'm opening presents in the living room. What are you doing?"

Tony thought about it, and the genius scientist sat down proudly in front of the sofa, and said confidently, "I can make trouble."

Benny was choked into silence for a moment, unable to speak.

Forget it.

He just wasn't used to being watched and reacted by the giver when opening the present, and he couldn't drive Stark into the kitchen to make trouble.Otherwise, mom would explode, she is a veritable little pepper now.

Although staying in a house full of meaning, his mood is always unstable. If he wants to think about it, Benny's mood can't stop rising now.

Because when he thought of that nightmare alternately, he always thought of the warm scenes he dreamed about in the future. There were too many of those pictures, which helped him weaken some of his fears.

Benny felt... Today they are really like a family of three, and the atmosphere is very warm.It was the first time he had received a Christmas present, especially since so many were for him, Benny felt warm and happy when he thought about it.

"Um……?"

Benny thought for a moment, and the action of tearing the gift box stopped.

He stared at this brand-new laptop with excitement, and the Stark logo was printed on it. The key point was that Benny also saw that it was a gaming laptop.

"Like it?" Tony sat on the sofa and asked carefully. His mood also improved, and he began to encourage the curly-haired child proudly, "Play the game well, and tell me if it doesn't work, and I'll upgrade it."

"Sir..." the smart housekeeper couldn't hold back his mouth, and his tone was hesitant to speak—is this a normal way of educating children?

Tony said it calmly, and Benny responded calmly.

He doesn't have any psychological burden. In the future, Tony Stark will still give him a real battle armor and a neural connection device to play battle games. Compared with this, the game book is nothing.

The author has something to say: Nini, do you still need a child, the one who can play games!
