"Thank you for the candy you gave me earlier."

Even under the cover of the mask, Steve's smile can still make people feel bright and warm.

Hearing what Steve said, Sophia, who was held in Tony's arms, poked her head out and looked at the man in front of her curiously.

Little Gummy looked at Steve, and suddenly asked, "Gummy, is it delicious?"

Hearing this question, Steve was taken aback before answering: "...very sweet."

This fudge from a little girl was also the first sweet taste he felt after waking up in this world that didn't belong to him.

Ever since waking up in this strange time, Steve has always had the feeling that he is being pushed away.He always has a sense of incompatibility and alienation, knowing that he does not belong here, and he does not know how to join this era.

Perhaps the super serum not only strengthened the physique, but also strengthened Steve's memory. He can still clearly remember the piece of jelly that he tasted after completing those complicated and tedious physical examination items that day.

Raised as a skinny teenager in Brooklyn, he rarely had the chance to eat candy as a child.Even if there were occasionally, the quality of candy in that era was very average.But that kind of low-quality candy, for a young child, is enough to cherish the happiness.

After the war started, candy became a rare luxury.After Steve became Captain America, he did have some preferential treatment in terms of supplies, but no one would think: Captain America needs candy.So no one will give Steve candy.After all, in their eyes, Captain America, who has high hopes, seems to be invincible by nature, cut off all feelings and weaknesses, and has nothing to do with "candy", which is too weak and childish food.

In this way, Steve realized that before he fell asleep in the ice, it had been a long—a long time since he had tasted candy.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't tasted this rare sweetness for a long time, so Steve could clearly remember the taste of the piece of fudge that Sophia gave him.Decades have brought too much development to this society, and even the candy has become completely different from the cold and hard candies that Steve remembered.

Not long after Tony took Sophia back, he bought an entire fudge production chain with a large sum of money.All the candies that Sophia ate later came from this production chain.Also including the piece she gave Steve.

The fudge with just the right amount of sweetness, it seems that as long as one bites, one's heart can't help but soften along with it.That candy is soft, fluffy, sweet, and even has a hint of... the warmth from a strange little girl.

Sophia looked at Steve in front of her and walked away for a while, then suddenly asked, "Then do you still feel cold?"

Gummy's voice was full of worry, and she was seriously sorry for Steve: "Being under the ice for so long...you must have felt cold at one time."

From a certain point of view, Sophia and Steve have many similarities.For example, they are all very unfamiliar with the current era and have no sense of belonging.This world is no longer the world they are familiar with and have actually lived in. They seem to have become abandoned children of time overnight.

And Sophia thought that this Steve, who was called Captain America...Steve, had a more difficult life than herself.Although I was swallowed by the space-time vortex and came to this strange time and space, I can still contact my Shikigami family here.And there is Tony, a human shikigami, who can live together.

But what about Steve... Sophia didn't know if the other party could be as lucky as herself to find her own family in this era.

In a crime scene full of noise, Sophia's voice is soft, as soft as that piece of fudge that used to be.But such a soft voice, with a force that cannot be ignored, hit Steve's heart at once.Then just lay on the tip of Steve's heart, watching him worriedly.

After being silent for a while, Steve replied hoarsely: "...I won't be cold anymore, thank you."

Steve suddenly understood why Tony Stark called Sophia a Gummy.This little girl is indeed very much like the fudge she once gave herself.

Soft and sweet.

"...so they really gave you that candy?" Tony's voice was slightly sour, and he sneered unabashedly, "I thought that with their cautious style, they would Let’s send that candy to the laboratory to test the poison first.”

"...No. They gave it to me directly." Steve couldn't quite understand the sarcasm in Tony's words, and he continued honestly, "They said it was Stark's little girl, who gave it to me. "

The title "Little Stark Girl" subtly satisfies Tony's desire to win.

Tony raised his eyebrows, and asked with interest: "Really? What else did they say?"

"There are a lot of things." After Steve woke up, he kept loading too much information. He picked out a few things that were more important in his heart and repeated them. "For example, I was able to be discovered because of you guys. .”

"And...they told me that the little girl from the Stark family is very cute."

Steve's words made Tony even more happy. "Of course." The richest man with a mustache patted Sophia on the back triumphantly, "Everything in the Stark family is the best. And this little jellybean of mine is also the cutest."

When Natasha stepped across the mess and walked into the fast food restaurant, she saw Tony's smug expression at a glance.

"..." The corners of Natasha's mouth twitched twice, feeling very helpless towards this sometimes too childish man.

Tucao to Tucao, worried about Natasha in Sophia's hand, quickly put aside his current thoughts, walked to Tony's side, and carefully checked Sophia in his arms.

After seeing Natasha, Little Gummy subconsciously smiled.The white rabbit teeth are exposed, which looks very cute.

Seeing Little Gummy's expression, although Natasha was relieved, she felt a little helpless at the same time.Should she say that she deserves to be the cub brought out by Tony Stark?Faced with such a great danger and seeing so many live ammunition, he was still as calm as if he had just played a house.

"Okay." After showing off his little gummy like a peacock, Tony put on his mask and said to Sophia, "little gummy, we should go."

"As for you," Tony turned and looked at Steve, "...thanks."

Tony spoke very fast, and even felt awkwardly nervous.After a quick thank you, Tony quickly turned his head to talk to the others, as if afraid of getting an answer from Steve.

"And you, little boy," Tony blinked at Peter who was standing aside and couldn't recover, "nicework, kid. Thank you for protecting Little Gummy just now."

Tony's departure, like his previous appearance, was caught off guard.When he fell from the sky with the help of a little gummy, he knocked out a big hole in the ceiling of the fast food restaurant.And when he left with the little fudge in his arms, he also flew out of the hole just like before.

"...Little Monk and Sister Natasha are still in the store." Sophia, who was flying higher and higher, looked at the fast food restaurant that had shrunk to a smaller size, and reminded in a low voice, "We forgot to bring them."

"..." Faced with Little Gummy's kind reminder, Tony ignored him directly. "A disobedient little jellybean."

Under the visor, Tony's speech was processed into electronic sounds, and he couldn't hear too many emotional fluctuations.But even so, Sophia could almost intuitively detect the dissatisfaction in the other party's tone.

"Tony?" Little Gummy raised his short arms and tried to hug Tony's neck, "Are you angry?"

"Hmm, what do you think?"

"I'm sorry." Sophia rubbed her small head on Tony's shoulder.

Through the metal suit, Tony couldn't really feel the touch of the opponent's movements.But Tony still couldn't help feeling that Little Gummy was rubbing against his heart like a little animal coquettishly, making his original anger instantly mute.

"I was wrong. Don't be mad at me, Tony, okay?"

Little Gummy's attitude of admitting mistakes is very good.Anyway, in Tony's memory, at this age, he would never admit his mistakes with such a good attitude.

"...Why didn't you explain to me that you went out because you wanted to buy me a gift?" Natasha, who was a temporary babysitter, had already told Tony the reason why Little Gummy went out.Tony thought that Little Gummy would use this reason to explain and justify himself, but he didn't expect that Little Gummy didn't even mention it, and directly admitted his mistake.

"If it wasn't for the fact that I already knew the reason," Tony patted Sophia's hair lightly through the gauntlet, "maybe I would have mistaken you for a disobedient little villain running around."

Getting into trouble and burning yourself because of running around; it is completely different from accidentally passing by and being involved in this robbery innocently.

"Because no matter what the reason," Sophia shook her head and said seriously to Tony, "I've made you worry."

"It's a very painful experience to worry about someone you care about." Sophia, who once lived with monsters and had a hard time, said softly, "I let you go through this, Tony, so it's my fault .”

"..." Tony never thought that Sophia would say such a thing.

After a moment of silence, Tony couldn't help but sighed. He thought that probably no one would ever be able to really get angry with this little jellybean in his arms, "Why is it so sweet? Little jellybean, Sweetheart?"

As long as you stay with this little girl, no matter how cold and hard-hearted people are, they will give in.

"Okay," Tony pinched the tip of Sophia's nose, "then let's forget about this accident."

"Later, I will repeat my order to Pepper in the morning..." Tony said resentfully, "If I had just bought this fast food restaurant as I said in the morning, probably this would not have happened. Kind of a surprise..."

"...Uh..." Little Gummy blinked, and frankly commented on Tony's complaint, "I think, Tony, if you buy that fast food restaurant now, you won't have to lose extra money."

"After all, just now, you knocked out a big hole in the ceiling." As Sophia said, she stretched her arms and gestured for the size of the hole in Tony's arms, "And just now When we bought hamburgers and Coke, sister Natasha forgot to bring her wallet and hadn't had time to pay for it."

"...ok, that's the decision." After hearing what Little Gummy said, Tony said decisively, deciding the future of the fast food restaurant in an instant.

As soon as Tony stuffed the little gummy into his arms, he relied on his ability to fly and stayed out of everyone's sight.And the group of people who were left by him in the fast food restaurant had to look at each other in embarrassment, "Each goes back to his own house".

The one-eyed monk was brought back to Tony's mansion by Natasha, and Steve, on his own motorcycle, went back to the old small house where he had just lived.

After closing the door, Steve raised his hand and took off his mask.

The summer heat and the previous fight with a group of robbers had sweat dripping down the inside of Steve's uniform.

Steve casually threw the mask into the sink, ready to wash it later.

Because of the Super Soldier Serum, Steve rarely felt tired, but he still moved his body out of habit to make sure his body was in top shape at all times.

——This is a common problem shared by many veterans who are too accustomed to the battlefield.Their souls have been used to high-intensity wars, and even after the war is over, their bodies are hard to relax, and they are always on alert.

And the moment Steve bent over to move, a fluffy piece of paper suddenly snapped and fell out from his neck.
