winter rose

On the helicopter, Perry put the hand holding the Soul Gem into her pocket. She glanced at the usually expressionless Winter Soldier next to her, and suddenly felt very irritable.

"It must be too high...God why is it so high..." She frowned and muttered.

The Winter Soldier didn't respond.

"If I hug you now, will it affect your driving?"

no response.

"Hey...I'm talking to you."

Still no response.

Perry glared at him, and continued to hold his head in his hands and think about it irritably.

"Why is it so high why? Why is my heart disease and my heart disease is committed to life -saving and sacrifice. Ahhhhh..."

"To shut up."

He suddenly called out to her.

Perry froze.She slowly turned her head to look at him, surprised as if meeting him for the first time.

"It was you who ignored me first! You still always ignore me! I'm afraid of heights and now I'm so tall. I'm scared and uncomfortable and told you to ignore me! It's obviously your fault and you still told me to shut up!"

The Winter Soldier turned to look at her, pursing his lower lip.

"Sorry." He frowned as if suppressing his emotions. "But I'm kind of annoyed right now."

After hearing this sentence, Perry almost stood up in the helicopter.

"You're calling me annoying! Why are you—"

The Winter Soldier's brows became tighter and tighter, and veins appeared on the hand holding the joystick.

"Can you be quiet for a while!"

"You're yelling at me again! And why are you clenching your fist! Do you still want to hit me!" Perry yelled at the Winter Soldier, almost rolling around like a street shrew. "Anyway, it's not the first time you hit me! You stabbed me! I got six stitches that time! You don't like me at all—"

"—Perry Carter! I tell you to shut up!"

The Winter Soldier suddenly slammed into the armchair next to her ear, and pinched her shoulders again, his strength made her cry from the pain.

"Bucky Barnes!" she yelled shrilly.

The name seemed to be a sedative, and the hostility in the Winter Soldier's eyes disappeared in an instant.And the originally angry stare turned into panic.

"Sorry..." He withdrew his hand resentfully. "But now I feel inexplicably angry."

Seeing the Winter Soldier withdraw his hand, the frightened Perry also calmed down, taking deep breaths.

"No." She pressed her temples hard and shook her head.

"No, no, no, there must be something wrong."

"I'm uncomfortable, Perry." He tried to soften his tone, but to little effect.

"Anger is still inexplicable."

Perry looked at him, and the Winter Soldier's cold gaze was on the dashboard, but she always felt as if he was going to hit her on the ground any second.

"I have a feeling of being popular... It's not, it's just... It's like being infected by anger..."

"It's like your hypnosis." The Winter Soldier answered.

Perry was a little upset again, "When did I hypnotize you!"

Her expression changed.

It's hypnosis.

"Hypnosis?!"

Perry repeated it. "If you talk about hypnosis, I think I know why."

As she spoke, she took out the Mind Gem in her pocket.

"This broken stone can control people's hearts. It seems that it can also make people around them become agitated and irritable. The longer the time passes, the worse the brain will become."

But damn Jasper Lancaster never warned me!

Perry angrily cast a protective spell on the stone. She glanced at the island shrunk into small dots on the ground and swallowed.

"Is this 1000 meters..."

She looked back at the Winter Soldier, who was still staring at the dashboard, almost looking right through it.

"Sorry. I must have looked like an imageless shrew just now, my God..." She covered her face in shame. "Do you hate me now..."

"You can hug me." He said suddenly.

"Huh?" Perry's eyes leaked from between his fingers. "What did you say?"

The Winter Soldier pushed the joystick forward, looking away from Perry's face.And Perry could clearly see two suspicious blushes appearing on his face.

"I mean, if you're afraid of heights. You can..." He paused. "The helicopter is running out of gas anyway, I have to find a place to land."

Perry suddenly jumped up.

She rubbed against his chest muscles and buried her head in his neck.

"In addition to my fear of heights, I also have hypoglycemia. I'm terribly afraid of bugs. I'm also afraid of the dark and mice... By the way, I also have stomach problems. Because I didn't have anything to eat when I was young, now I can't eat spicy food and I can't be hungry..."

After a while, she felt her body move slightly.

"I remember," he said.

Although he is called the Winter Soldier, his body temperature seems to be much higher than his own.Perry pressed against his chest, feeling like a lewd hooligan.

"I must have yelled at you like a psycho just now... sorry."

The helicopter was landing slowly, and her breathing became rapid.

The Winter Soldier patted her head stiffly, and Perry had a headache.

"But I did it just now, and I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay." Perry looked at the ground getting closer to him, and let go of his holding hand all of a sudden.

The spiral wings rolled up the dust on the ground, and not far away was the escape vehicle they had prepared in advance.

"Can I go down?"

The Winter Soldier looked at the cautious Perry, and the words "I want to walk on the ground" were written all over her face.

He felt a little helpless, and a little funny.

So he opened the door first and jumped down, then went around to Perry and helped her open the door and helped her down.

"...I'm just afraid of heights but I'm not disabled."

The Winter Soldier withdrew his hand.

Perry's legs softened and he sat directly on the ground.

"..."

"..."

"...You better help me."

"……it is good."

Lancaster Castle is located on the outskirts of London. The scenery in the suburbs is good and the air is good. Except for the fact that LWL was affected a little when the famous photochemical smog incident happened, it is a beautiful and unrealistic existence like Utopia.

Outside is a vast expanse of grassland. A small stream was dug around the castle, and a small ornamental bridge was built. There are fruit trees on the grassland.

Take off the LWL logo and hang a cross, this place can be used as a filming location for Xavier Academy of Talents.

But for Perry, there are still two fly in the ointment: Lancastrian wizard residents who are always behind on rent and a middle name Jasper who is not the Lancaster.

The car stopped at the door, Perry opened the window and rang the doorbell, and the old man who liked cos Gandalf ran over from the castle to open the door.

"Hey! It's Xiaopei! You're in time for lunch."

The old man of cos Gandalf is smiling, and the pointed hat on his head is dazzled by Dumbledore-style stars and moons.

Perry patted the Winter Soldier on the shoulder and pointed to the old man.

"That's Sosimo, whose ancestors did alchemy in Greece, and whose hobby is wizard literature."

Then she pointed at the Winter Soldier again, "This is—"

"I know I know, he is James Buchanan Barnes, the little lover the landlady has been looking for for 70 years."

Sosimo had a look of seeing through everything.

"You put a missing person notice with a photo the size of a bed in each of our rooms 70 years ago, and you can't tear it down now. Who doesn't know him."

"...I'll tear it up for you as soon as I get back."

"No, Jasper said a few days ago that you found it, and sent us each a bucket of paint."

Perry suppressed a blank stare.She didn't dare to look back at the Winter Soldier, she just poked him hard and told him to drive quickly.

The Winter Soldier drove the car to the underground parking lot, and when he reversed the car, he was praised by Perry fancy all the way because he only reversed it once.

The interior of the castle has always maintained the medieval decoration style, and only the rooms of long-term residents can be changed according to their wishes.

Perry's room was on the third floor, as were the two attics on the top floor of the castle.

The small suitcase was carried by the Winter Soldier, and Perry himself only pushed the gate of the castle for him empty-handed.

Entering the door, turning the corner, Perry glanced at those who were having lunch at the long table in the restaurant, and they also saw her.

Perry walked over and asked them, "Where's Jasper?"

A student-like boy on the long table said "hmm" and looked at her suspiciously.

The woman in professional attire next to him quickly put down her glass and swallowed the meat in her mouth.

"I'm not calling you," she said to the boy, looking back at Perry. "He's waiting for you in the room."

Perry was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at the Winter Soldier.

The Winter Soldier was carrying the box with no expression on his face.

"This is Sergeant Barnes." The woman in business attire exchanged glances with the Goth Lolita on the other table. "Can we paint over his missing person? Anyway, that Jasper's paint doesn't have to be white."

The Winter Soldier blinked, looking at Perry.Perry looked at him and felt a little hot in the ears, so she turned her attention back to the boy from the beginning.

"Mathelinda's new boyfriend, huh?"

The boy nodded shyly.

So Perry, under the vicious gaze of a woman in professional attire named Mathinda, ruthlessly stroked his blond hair.

"It's—cute." She dragged her voice and put on a sweet smile.

"Remember to ask your girlfriend, little sister, to pay the rent."

After finishing speaking, she was about to leave, but was suddenly pulled back by the Winter Soldier.

He picked up the napkin of the nearest person, held Perry's wrist, and wiped her hand from inside to outside.

"Now." He threw the napkin on the floor. "You can go, Perry."

There was deathly silence at the dinner table.

Perry immediately lowered his head and turned around, and stumbled to Sosimo who had just entered the door, saying something like "Just send the lunch to the room".

The Winter Soldier looked at Perry's hurried back and the red ears, and naturally picked up his suitcase and followed.

At the dining table, the gothic loli dropped her fork.

"Oh my god, the landlord abused the dog, this meal is unbearable..."

And Matinda hugged her little milk dog tightly, rubbing his little golden retriever viciously.

After lunch, Perry first went to meet Jasper with the stone, and the Winter Soldier was waiting outside the door.

The waiting time was a bit difficult, the long corridor was empty, except for the oil paintings on the wall and the wide-eyed eyes of the Winter Soldier, he didn't even have anything to divert his attention.

He remembered Perry saying that Jasper Lancaster was working part-time for Hydra, but that was just a hobby of his.This person is very mysterious, no one knows how.

But just because of working for Hydra, the Winter Soldier has a heart-to-heart rejection of him.

After a while, Mr. Lancaster, who was always in a three-piece suit, opened the door.

"Sergeant Barnes... may I call you that?"

The Winter Soldier looked at the pale and indifferent man with a fake smile in front of him.

Seeing that the Winter Soldier didn't agree but didn't object, he led him into the house.

The Winter Soldier looked around the room, but didn't see Perry.

"Where's Perry?"

With his back turned to him, Jasper frowned and pulled a blood-stained glass pen from his shoulder.

The wound on his shoulder was still bleeding.

"I threw her into the attic to calm down for a while. The landlady needs to read a few books before talking to me."

As he spoke, he threw the pen back on the table and pressed the wound with one hand.

"It's not good to be too hands-on, isn't it..."

His gaze flicked over the Winter Soldier's clenched left hand.

"Answer me a few questions before you retrieve your memory. You know Parceloper...ah, I mean Perry's past."

The coldness in Winter Soldier's eyes suddenly dissipated, replaced by a kind of confusion.

"Or." He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Do you know how much Perry has to pay for your future?"

Jasper Lancaster laughed, with an eerie femininity in his voice.

"Let us have a good talk first, soldier."
