Daily life [Zhongyingmei]

Benny blinked his eyes and looked again, Uncle Bucky's expression had returned to normal.

The brown-haired young man lowered his eyes intently, as if staring at the table in a daze, waiting for the meal to be served.

Benny frowned suspiciously, quite sure he wasn't dazzled.He can only put this doubt in his stomach first, and don't mention it for now.

The chef's movements were swift, and it didn't take long for the breakfast to be brought up.

Steve paid special attention to Benny's plate with fried eggs, bacon, two slices of bread, broccoli and a small pile of boiled peas and corn.Although the little boy looked a bit reluctant, he still ate obediently without waiting for anyone to urge him.

"..." Steve was silent for a moment, feeling a little relieved and a little disappointed.

Sure enough, he is still not good at being a parent.

When Benny followed Mr. Stark, he learned not to be picky eaters and endured eating vegetables.Take a closer look, Benny's hair has just been washed, and there is a milky smell of children's shower gel all over his body.There are no dark circles under the eyes, and it seems that I haven't stayed up too much.

The curly-haired child was even fed fat, the baby fat on his cheeks gradually became more obvious, and the fierceness brought out by his personality was weakened a lot. The little boy looked like a milky child, very cute.

...are well taken care of.

However, Benny suddenly interrupted Steve's thoughts. He stared at Tony Stark opposite him politely, and warned in a more emphatic tone: "Mr. It's full of frosting and has three sticks of cheese on it!"

"Which baby radish doesn't eat broccoli?" Tony himself was wronged, but he still squinted his eyes, not to be outdone, and tried to quarrel, "You are also picky eaters."

Benny calls him 'Mr. Stark', and he returns 'Baby Carrot' on purpose.

"Sophistry!" Benny pointed at his plate in a cold voice, "I haven't eaten broccoli yet, but you have exceeded the limit! I'm going to tell mom!"

When Benny heard that the momentum of 'Baby Carrot' weakened, he tried his best to use his trump card.

Tony's confident expression suddenly collapsed, and he raised his hand as if surrendering: "Wait, hey - I haven't told Pepper about the fried steak you ate at noon yesterday, little villain, j told me Now, you took the opportunity of eating alone and left all the vegetables that went with the meal."

Benny was also speechless.

That's when Tony went out to blow up S.H.I.E.L.D., and Mom was working downstairs. J is really unreliable, obviously he is also the highest authority, and he told Stark honestly about his affairs!

"...!"

Benny and Tony looked at each other, with swords and swords sparking sparks in their eyes.

Steve looked at the father and son and suddenly laughed.

What, didn't Benny cure the old problem of picky eaters, did he always supervise and manage each other's problems?

There was the crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor in the distance, Pepper hurried over, and the common nemesis of Stark and his son came——

"Sorry for the long wait." There were still guests today, and Pepper nodded apologetically to them before sitting down at the table.She took a breath and wanted to join the conversation, so she happily looked left and right at her boyfriend and son and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"...the playground." Tony choked, and naturally changed the subject, pretending that this was what was being discussed just now, "Benny, you still have the group photo, right? Remember to pretend it when you go back."

Benny was reluctant to agree so readily, but he also wanted to avoid the topic just now, so he could only answer with a nasal murmur, pretending to be working hard to eat, and his cheeks immediately puffed up.

Benny's magic is always spreading around, which makes him often more perceptive than others.He suddenly noticed something strange, he didn't look up, but 'looked' over with magic power:

Bucky's eyes fell on him this time, and his eyes were still pained and suppressed, with remorse and self-loathing in them.

"?" Benny burying his head and eating peas with a spoon gradually slowed down, but his mind had completely turned away, and his head was full of question marks.

Uncle Bucky... what does this mean?

Looking at the silly father with the same eyes, and looking at him?is something happened?The memories he recalled?

Benny took this matter to heart.

"How about going to the gym together?" Steve looked around, the curly-haired kid was eating more and more slowly, Pepper couldn't take his eyes off Benny, and Tony dawdled, as if Try to find words.Steve couldn't resist suggesting.

"Gym?" Benny looked up suspiciously.

"Yes." Steve set his sights on Tony Stark's obvious belly, and said euphemistically, "burning off calories is also good for your health."

It didn't take Tony himself to express his opinion. Pepperbenny and the smart butler had already agreed with a three-to-one vote.

"It's a pity, I still have something to do today, you guys go." Although Pepper felt regretful, he still turned his attention to the little boy, "Benny, remember to supervise Tony."

"I will supervise Dad to consume the calories." Benny's small face flashed gloating for a moment, and he looked at the blonde woman obediently and replied.

"...Then Tony?" Pepper looked at the man with the mustache worriedly.

The stinky Tony rolled his eyes reluctantly, and was forced to respond: "I know, I understand, exercise properly."

The atmosphere at the dining table was so active, but Bucky, who was sitting farthest away, just buried his head in his thoughts, mashing the mashed potatoes in the bowl with a fork.

Can't go on like this...

He had to say that Benny was Steve's adopted son, Tony Stark's son, and the Howards' grandson.If he doesn't say...if he does...

Bucky couldn't eat the meal.

"Are you okay, brother?" After eating, everyone was about to take the elevator downstairs together. Steve raised his good arm, put it on Bucky's shoulder, and looked at him with concern.

Bucky just shook his head silently, still preoccupied.

Steve raised his eyes subconsciously, exchanged a look with Tony, and the two adults had an idea.

The gym Steve chose was the one he usually worked at, because he stayed there with his identity concealed, and he didn’t offer private lessons. He only led the class for a few hours, and then the big class was over, and the rest of the time was spent. Very leisurely.

The boss who knew the inside story specially avoided a corner for him to play with sandbags.

Steve brought Tony, Bucky and Benny here today.

"Sandbag." Benny raised his face and stared at the big sandbag hanging on it with great difficulty. He couldn't help but get playful, stepped back a few steps, and then jumped up suddenly, hugging the sandbag with all four limbs, and then Swaying around with sandbags, like a little koala.

"The legs are so short." Tony scolded the little boy with a disgusted look.

Benny is indeed too small, and it doesn't matter if he hangs on the sandbag.

Bucky also looked at the things around him, picked up a dumbbell casually, and swung it around, feeling nothing new.His brows frowned even tighter, and more and more chaotic memories flooded up.

In the Hydra base... that's how he works out, with dumbbells, with machines, he's tried them all.

"Let me see if you've gained any weight." Steve solemnly took the sandbag off the hook, carried it together with the little Benny hanging on it, and waved it reckoningly.In front of Tony's envious and jealous eyes, Steve's actions were still understated and very relaxed.

"You've really gained weight during this time, Benny." Steve looked at the little Benny on the sandbag with relief, and clearly realized this from the weight.

"..." Benny pursed his lips again, not happy with Mr. Rogers teasing him like this.He simply didn't do anything, grabbed Steve's T-shirt, and boldly hung it from the sandbag to Steve.

Steve looked at the small Stark pendant on his waist, and the two men, one big and one small, looked at each other, and they were silent for a while.The blond man was a little at a loss, but also a little dazed and happy. He froze on the spot while holding the sandbag, and kept this posture motionless.

... Benny hadn't been this close to him before.

Now Benny doesn't dislike physical contact with others?

"The equipment here isn't suitable for children, is it?" Tony looked back at the looks of the two of them, sore again, folded his arms and asked deliberately, "Are you going to the children's area by yourself? Kid."

As soon as Stark made a sound, he broke the atmosphere.Benny hurriedly jumped off Mr. Rogers, took a few steps back unnaturally, and said in a disguised manner: "Yes... I'm still a child, and the amount of exercise doesn't need to be so much. Just practice, I'll see look."

After speaking, Benny ran away to the distance.

——In fact, he regretted a little as soon as he hugged Mr. Rogers.

During this period of time, Tony Stark would hug him from time to time, which made Benny used to it. He forgot that he had never had such an intimate gesture when he was with Mr. Rogers before.So Steve was surprised all of a sudden, and Benny became stiff all over, and it was even more unnatural because of Mr. Rogers' surprise.

Children are generally not allowed in the gym, because the equipment is for adults, and children can easily get injured if they are not properly supervised.But there are those who really bring their children, and they can't stop the guests from entering.So the gym where Steve works has a dedicated kids area.

It is said that it is for exercise, but in fact, it is to attract children's attention, and a special area has been circled. It is a large adventure playground made of colorful foam boards, crossbars, and fishing nets.For example, the circular foam channel that needs to be crawled on the ground, the "two-story building" that needs to be climbed by stepping on fishing net knots, the "snow mountain lake road" that needs to be slid down by a tire boat, and the sliding pole that needs to be jumped up and held in the air with both hands , in order to safely cross the "sea of ​​fire" and fall to the other side of the mountain.

Even though Benny can fly and has seen real battles, he is still completely attracted by these large-scale facilities for playing on the ground—how can real fighting be as fun as fake fighting!There is no more fun in a real adventure than pretending to be on the snowy mountain and turning over the grass!

There are already many children having fun in this area. Benny doesn't like to interact with peers. He hesitated to look at those screaming children and frowned in distaste, but he still couldn't bear it. I also joined in the temptation of this playground.

……

As soon as Benny left, the atmosphere in this corner suddenly cooled down.

Steve was worried and pounded on the sandbag, secretly looking at his brother.Bucky was preoccupied, peeking at Tony Stark over and over again.Tony opened a treadmill casually, stood on it and ran for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, and was horrified by the sight.

He turned his head and raised his eyebrows jokingly: "Barnes, what the hell are you trying to do? Keep staring at me, I don't like men."

"..." Bucky and Steve didn't smile - Steve had vaguely realized something, he looked at Bucky worriedly, with doubts in his eyes.But Bucky just didn't meet his eyes, just lowered his eyes, walked over in a muffled manner, and turned off Tony's treadmill.

"What?" Tony realized the abnormality, put away the smile on his face, and waited leisurely for Bucky's next words.

"Mr. Stark." Bucky was silent for so long, until little Benny ran away, he finally made up his mind,

"—I have something to confess to you."
