Chapter 1072 Ordinary Daily Life Before Christmas (Part 2)
A Christmas tree full of colorful lights and colorful balls turned around. A hand holding the American flag straightened the branches that were knocked out of place. Steve carefully inserted the small triangular flag in the tree.
Side view of Christmas tree.
The footsteps of high-heeled shoes came from far away. The graceful Natasha greeted the colleagues next to her and walked over. When she saw Steve wearing a Christmas sweater, she raised her eyebrows and whistled.
: "Hey, sweetheart boy, why are you dressed up so beautifully today?"
Steve smiled at Natasha, but Natasha was stunned, and then she said: "Captain, what medicine did you take wrongly?"
Natasha looked at Steve from head to toe and found nothing unusual, but it made her feel very strange.
This sexy and beautiful female agent is always good at consuming male sex. There are almost no handsome agents and superheroes in S.H.I.E.L.D. who have not been teased by her. Most people are used to it, and many people are still complacent about it.
Such as Stark.
After all, Natasha has very high standards. If you can get this experienced female agent to take the initiative to flirt with you, it means that you stand out from the males.
However, not everyone is so open-minded. Captain America obviously belongs to the more conservative group. In the past, when Natasha was talking nonsense, Steve would frown and turn around to see who was nearby.
There are no minors, and make sure you don't have a bad influence.
However, Natasha just saw clearly that Steve seemed to wink at her. The experienced female agent felt that this could never be her hallucination. Captain America was in a surprisingly good mood today.
Natasha crossed her arms, stood in front of the Christmas tree, and asked, "What's wrong? Captain? What good happened to you? Tell me."
After saying that, Natasha leaned towards Steve, put her arm on the railing behind Steve, and leaned very close to him.
Steve was busy arranging the Christmas tree, but he didn't avoid it as he always did. Instead, he turned around, glanced at Natasha and said:
"What a good thing? Isn't Christmas the best thing? The holiday is tomorrow, shouldn't I be a little happier?"
"Come on." Natasha shook her head and said, "It's been a few years since you came back. In which year did you have such a happy Christmas?"
Suddenly, Natasha seemed to notice something. She reached out and patted Steve on the back and said, "Keep it as you are now. The person you are waiting for is here."
After saying that, Natasha turned and left. When Steve was looking at her back with some confusion, he heard another female voice next to him: "Well... Captain, um, you are free now."
?"
Steve turned his head and saw Sharon Carter, who was wearing exquisite makeup. This younger female agent was obviously not as experienced as Natasha. She stood at least two meters away, with her hands folded.
Together, they seemed a little nervous.
"...I'm here to apologize to you. My invitation last time was too presumptuous. I know that you haven't gotten over the emotional pain with my aunt. As her niece, it's really inappropriate for me to do this.
Okay..." Carter said with some embarrassment.
"But, captain, please believe that even if we don't have this important relationship, I really appreciate you. After all, I grew up listening to your stories..." Carter looked particularly nervous, as if he was concentrating on memorizing his lines.
.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Steve's blue eyes, staring at her intently, which made her forget all the next words and stood there stupidly, as if Steve had
She was so mesmerized by her beauty that she couldn't even speak.
Suddenly, there was a cough in the distance. Carter turned his head slightly and saw Natasha at the end of the guardrail, leaning on the railing with one hand and playing with her mobile phone in the other.
The communicator on Carter's waist suddenly buzzed, and she hurriedly picked it up. A text message from Natasha appeared on the screen: "Rush up and kiss him."
Carter took a deep breath, put the communicator back on his waist, brushed his hair, took two steps forward, looked at Steve and said: "Mr. Rogers, can I invite you to be my dance partner and dance with me?"
Do you want to go to this year's Yule Ball together?"
Steve's eyes sparkled, as if the lights on the Christmas tree were rubbed into his eyes. He took Carter's hand, gently kissed the knuckle of her middle finger, and said, "I
It's an honor, miss."
Carter was about to run away shyly when he saw Natasha in the distance kicking the railing with the tip of her boot and coughing twice.
Carter held his chest and took a deep breath, quickly moved forward, kissed Steve gently on the face, then turned around and ran away.
Steve stretched out his hand, touched his cheek, smiled and shook his head. Suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and he felt the hardness from the surface of the mechanical arm. When he turned around, he saw Bucky.
s face.
"She is a bit similar to Paige, right?" Bucky looked at Carter's leaving figure and said, "At least they look a bit similar."
"They are aunt and nephew, how could they be different? However, their personalities can be said to be completely different." Steve shook his head and said: "If it were Paige, she wouldn't care what the occasion was, she would have already kissed her.
.”
Bucky also laughed and said, "Because of this, no one will misunderstand that you regard Agent Carter as your old lover. Their personalities are completely different."
"Why are you here?" Steve asked.
"Howard called me over. He said that he made me a new robotic arm as my Christmas gift. It uses the latest technology and is much better than the current one."
Bucky looked down at his hands, while Steve lowered his voice and said, "Howard seemed to think that it was his fault what happened to you. Two days ago, he almost went to the military to question those people why.
To give his technology to Hydra?"
"Unfortunately, most of the generals who worked with him before are dead, and those who are not dead are almost unable to move. Howard looked at the generals who had half of their feet in the coffins, and he was not in the mood to cause trouble for them.
Already."
Bucky shook his head and said: "It had nothing to do with Howard that I was captured in the first place. It was my own operational mistake. Rather, I have to thank Howard for his reliable technology. If it were Hanmer Military Industry, I would have had a better future.
Just like the grumpy arm of the 'ex-wife'."
Steve patted his arm and laughed. Apparently, Hammer Military Industries' joke had spread in the circle.
Steve walked out from behind the Christmas tree and introduced to Bucky: "Nick gave me the job of decorating the prom Christmas tree. I think he chose the right person."
Bucky took two steps back and looked at the huge, colorfully decorated Christmas tree. He nodded and said, "It's really nice. Will it be decorated in the center of the ballroom?"
"Yes, everyone will dance around this tree at that time, and we will pray together until midnight to start the new year."
As he said this, Steve sighed: "I haven't been as happy as this year for a long time. Even counting the years before I woke up, this is the happiest Christmas I've ever had."
"There is no war, no disputes, just many friends, and a bright future..." Steve lowered his head, and when the light of the lanterns shone on his eyelashes, he looked like a group of colorful elves, dancing.
Over the branches.
"By the way, have the list and dance partners been confirmed?" Bucky asked: "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, we can't confirm it by then, right?"
Steve looked up from between the branches, he stretched out a finger and said: "You reminded me... Natasha! Natasha! Don't leave yet, where is Coulson? Is he responsible for counting the list of people?
?”
"He's upstairs." Natasha said as she walked over. When passing Steve, she threw him a bunch of keys and said, "I'll move this tree to the warehouse later."
Bucky waved to Steve and said, "You go upstairs first and leave the Christmas tree to me."
As Steve turned to leave, he put the key into Bucky's hand and gave him a smile.
Coming upstairs and walking through the busy office, Colson was sitting in an office full of clerks answering the phone. Steve heard him say:
"Yes, that's 30,000 people. What's wrong? One mage has a thousand apprentices. Isn't that too much?"
"How can you apply the rules of an ordinary university to a mage? Do you know what magic is? Do you know how complicated and dangerous magic is? What's wrong with having a thousand apprentices?"
Coulson put down the phone angrily, and soon picked up another phone and said: "...What? The customer service staff of the Sanctuary is not enough? Then go find the Master Supreme! What does it have to do with SHIELD?"
"
"How many people do you want?... Ten??!! Oh my God! Are you kidding me? You have so many simple and convenient magic items, but you still want ten people??!! Just dream on
!!!"
Steve felt that he couldn't listen anymore. He waved and said hello to other people in the office, and then came to Coulson. As soon as Coulson saw that Captain America was looking for him, he immediately
He put down his work and asked enthusiastically: "What's the matter, captain?"
"Nothing, you are busy with your business. I just want to ask, has the dance list been finalized? Can I take a look?" Steve smiled and said, "I'm really curious about the dance partners of some of them.
who is it."
Colson, who was sitting next to the phone, looked a little embarrassed, pursed his lips, looked up at Steve and said: "Captain, I can see that you are looking forward to this year's dance. This year, we have developed
The momentum is also very good, all walks of life have made great progress, and society is getting better and better, right?"
Steve nodded, Coulson rubbed his fingers and said, "Accordingly, everyone is getting busier and busier. As of the New Year, I still have five or six cases on hand that have not been completed. Others
It should be the same..."
Steve heard something in his words, and his original excitement and high mood were extinguished a little. He looked at Colson and said: "Don't feel embarrassed, just give me the list. I am an adult and know that I can't force others."
, follow my arrangements..."
Colson sighed, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, and handed it to Steve. Steve simply glanced at the content on the paper, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
Half an hour later, Coulson found a half-drunk Steve in the underground bar of SHIELD. Coulson patted his shoulder, walked to sit next to him, and picked up a beer.
