The Great Winter Soldier

"Are you planning to never communicate with me?" Nicole's expressionless face finally changed. She frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice.

"It's time for the last procedure." Xia Tian said.

"Here." Dad put the razor in front of Nicole and motioned to Xia Tian's neck.

"I finally heard your damn voice, should I feel happy?" Nicole snorted, looked at Xia Tian in the mirror, glanced at him coldly, and took the razor from her father's hand.

"One dollar." Xia Tian said.

"What did you say?" Nicole held the razor in her hand, and her temperament was completely different from when she had nothing in her hand. From a goddess to a demon, all it takes is a convenient object.

"Swearing is not allowed here, and there are children over there." Xia Tian glanced at Nicole, revealing a hint of information in her words, "Dad told me many stories. He said that the Paradise Club in Harlem Very good, I want to see it.”

Nicole looked back at the silent teenagers in the distance, her face softened involuntarily, and she said softly, "Yeah."

At this time, Dad was also frightened. He himself was not a good person. Although he seemed kind-hearted now and was highly respected in this neighborhood, this was all after he was released from prison. When he was young, in He was also famous in that chaotic Harlem, and ended up spending decades in prison, reading about all kinds of life, meeting all kinds of people, and encountering all kinds of things.

Dad is a smart man. As he gets older, he changes his appearance after being released from prison. He wants to change the appearance of his hometown of Harlem, so he makes his own efforts and opens this barber shop. The store also created a shelter for some children in the neighborhood.

The father with vicious eyes felt his scalp numb when he saw Nicole's eyes. Maybe ordinary people would only think that this mysterious woman in expensive clothes was an upper class person, or a girl from a rich family, but the father He wouldn't think so, because he had seen a look similar to Nicole's. It was a death row inmate he met during his prison career decades ago. His "brilliant" life may be greater than that of all the prisoners in the entire prison. All the sins committed together are serious.

The woman's crystal clear ice-blue eyes may make many people obsessed, but Dad saw the deathly silence inside. When those eyes glanced at any person, they seemed to be looking at the dead bodies. There was no trace of death. emotional fluctuations, not to mention the respect that should be given to every living life.

It was too late to regret at this time. Dad could only obey the development of the situation, try to make everything go smoothly, and then send the couple away as quickly as possible.

Dad was right, he misjudged Xia Tian and he should not have let Xia Tian in. His vicious eyes were misplaced, and he would never have imagined that this confused young man wandering the streets would have such a companion. Judging from his female companion, this yellow-skinned young man was not a good person.

"Press his head gently." Dad said, trying to calm his mood, and continued, "You need to be steady, quick, and close."

Nicole gently pressed Xia Tian's head with her left hand, and put the razor against his back hairline. Under her father's guidance, she repaired it carefully and with concentration, she completed the last procedure.

Returning the razor to her father, Nicole wiped it with a towel for Xia Tian. Looking at his appearance in the mirror being played with by her, Nicole's mood improved a lot and she said: "I've got news from here. "

"Well" Xia Tian raised her head and wanted to look into Nicole's eyes through the mirror, but she naughtily pushed her down and continued to scrub Xia Tian.

"If you are in the same state as usual, you should have guessed who the other party is." Nicole threw the towel to her father and leaned over to blow the hair residue on Xia Tian's neck, but it didn't seem to be of any use. In the end, she could only use her fingers Dial it off.

"Yes" Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, her heart was racing, and she hesitated to speak.

, a figure emerged in my mind, could it be Matt?

"Well, he called me and wanted to have a good talk with you." Nicole heard Xia Tian's meaning and saw Xia Tian raising her head and looking intently into her eyes. Finally, he looked at herself. Although it was because of Matt, his actions were indeed real.

Nicole couldn't hold it back for a while, and hugged Xia Tian's neck, rubbing her face from side to side of Xia Tian's face, and whispered: "Are you feeling better last time? I did go too far last time. I've thought about it carefully in the past few days. After thinking about it, I know you were forced to wear it, but my fear of it made me overreact. I know you are a trustworthy person, and you will not intentionally break your promise. This is all your fault. Forced to make a choice."

"You haven't washed your hair yet, and the hair residue is all stuck to you." Xia Tian tried hard to push Nicole's body away.

"Oh." Nicole felt Xia Tian's attitude, and couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed. She leaned on the table, folded her hands, and watched her father wash Xia Tian's hair.

Xia Tian couldn't stand the look in her eyes. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel uncomfortable all over. Then he said, "Remember to pay the fine."

"Yeah." Nicole choked her mouth, stood up straight and took out a hundred dollars from her pocket. She glanced at the piggy bank with "stolen money" written on it and stuffed it in without hesitation.

After everything was taken care of, the father finally watched the two mysterious men and women leave. Watching the two people walking out of the barber shop one after another, the father wiped his palms with a towel while looking at Xia Tian's back and asked: " Car accident, ha"

Xia Tian paused for a moment before closing the door. His movements stagnated for a few seconds. He then smiled and said, "It's a knife wound. Do you need to be fined for lying?"

"Of course, but if you have a good attitude, I can pay it for you." Dad shook his head and smiled, took out a coin from his pocket and threw it into the piggy bank.

"Why is she so silent to her, but she is talking and laughing to me?" Xia Tian asked in surprise. Xia Tian was really interested in the elder in the room.

"Because she disdains this place and will never take the initiative to set foot here. But you are different. I want to be as kind as possible and politely ask you not to enter my barber shop again." Dad smiled and nodded.

Xia Tian looked at his father thoughtfully, nodded, closed the door gently, turned around and quickly got into the sports car.

However, neither Xia Tian nor his father expected that their next meeting would be in a hail of bullets.

"This car has attracted everyone's attention. I told you to keep a low profile." Xia Tian knew that the relationship with Nicole was a bit tense now, so he tried his best not to cause trouble to Nicole, but after seeing this car , still couldn't help but say something.

Nicole snorted and defended: "There are a lot of cars like this in New York, so it's not a big deal. I'm just fed up with those slow, stupid guys. They can't get me to the scene in the first place."

Xia Tian opened his mouth, but after hearing Nicole's reason, he finally said nothing.

Nicole seemed to realize the awkwardness of the atmosphere and changed the subject and asked: "What do you think Matt will ask for?"

"Let me surrender." Xia Tian looked at the rapidly regressing street scene outside the window and sighed softly.

"I can be nice to him, and I want to be nice to him, but he must not touch my bottom line." Nicole said with a firm tone.

"This sounds very difficult." Xia Tian leaned on his face and sighed softly.

Nicole's eyes suddenly lit up and she suggested: "How about we throw him to Hell's Kitchen over there and replace Darwin and Mike?"

"Stop making trouble." Xia Tian looked at Nicole with some humor and shook his head helplessly, "Maybe he is eavesdropping on our conversation. Pay attention to your language."

Nicole closed her mouth and let out a rather disgusted "hum". To be continued.
