Chapter 25 Singing in the Rain

Abby and Steve stood under the eaves of the convenience store, watching the heavy rain outside.

The rain was relatively light at first, but then it suddenly became louder and more terrifying. The two of them had no choice but to find a place to shelter from the rain.

In this weather, if you are not exposed to the rain, it is interesting to watch the people rushing on the street.In the torrential rain, people seem to become very small, and the listeners will naturally feel at ease.

They stood side by side under the eaves, as if they had reached some kind of tacit agreement, and no one could bear to destroy this tranquility.In the end, there was a "ding" sound from the convenience store door, and someone came out of the store.

Abby saw that it was a young boy, who looked like he was still in high school, with a slightly childish round face.He ran up to Steve and pulled out a stack of cards from his pocket.

The boy held the card high, his face flushed with excitement: "Captain, can you sign it for me? I'm your big fan!"

As he spoke, he even made a gesture of waving a shield in the void.

Steve, who had endless patience with teenagers his age, replied, "Of course."

Each card was then signed.Abby glanced sharply: each card was printed with Steve wearing a tight battle suit, the card surface was shiny, and there were a few big characters of "Platinum Commemorative Edition".

The boy holds the card contentedly.Maybe it was because he was too excited to see the idol, he pestered Captain America and chattered endlessly: "——you know? I also joined the Captain America Pioneer Club! We discuss every battle of yours every day..."

Steve listened carefully, most of the time he was quiet and a perfect listener.

After listening to the compliments written down for ten pages, he smiled and encouraged the young guy: "Good job. Thank you for your liking, I am very honored."

The boy became even more excited.However, until he said "I skipped class last time to buy your limited edition pictorial-" the tender expression on Steve's face disappeared.

He began to educate the young man: "If you tell me that you are in school every day for me, I will be happier than winning a battle."

The boy's face, which had just dropped from the heat, began to turn red again.

Steve paused and joked: "Of course, if you skip class, you can still see me in the confinement room. To some extent, the two lead to the same goal."

The boy rubbed his nose and smiled a little embarrassedly.

They chatted for a long time. Captain America talked about learning attitudes, learning methods, and education system and education reform. The boy was so impressed that he seemed to have been brainwashed.

When he finally lifted his feet to walk into the store, his whole body was still full of flames from the small universe, and he muttered dizzily, "I love learning, and learning loves me".

Abby: "..."

My Merlin.

After the boy left, the small corner of the roof became quiet again.Steve notices Abby looking at him and coughs unnaturally.

Abby smiled at him: "Steve is really popular!"

She didn't know it before, but she was shocked when she saw it today.It turned out that Steve was still a national idol.

There are smears of red on Steve's ears.He hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "That's because of professional relationships."

Abby tilted her head in confusion.

A rush of hot blood surged in Steve's chest, and he didn't know why, maybe it was a false alarm that he experienced just now, maybe it was because of the heavy rain outside, he spontaneously felt an uneasy desire to confide.

However, the voice that rushed out of the throat was very calm: "Because I am a... superhero."

Abby and he looked at each other for two seconds, blue eyes like a crystal clear stream.

"What is a superhero?" she asked.

Steve had to spend 10 minutes explaining to her exactly what a superhero was.

After Abby listened carefully, she murmured thoughtfully: "So you are not a chicken stomach, and your hearing should be very good."

Steve nearly choked on his own spit.He defended with difficulty: "When I invite you to eat pumpkin tarts—I really don't have much appetite."

Abby nodded understandingly.After all, superheroes are human too.

Relieved, Steve suddenly rolled his eyes and smiled.It's the kind of completely relaxed smiling face, like a soft orange cake fermented by the warm sunshine.

The light breaks through the clouds and drives away all the gloom.The raindrops also turned into sweet orange particles.

Abby said nonchalantly, "You know what? In our place, the cards move."

She said - "with us".

Steve replied flatly, "Really?"

Under his influence, Abby continued in the same calm voice: "Yes, I am a wizard."

Speak out.The mood is not as heavy as she expected, but there is a kind of relief of taking off the disguise.

Until today, on an ordinary afternoon with winter rain, they were finally able to strip off the armor that protects each other and get along with each other in a real way.

Abby let out a long breath, and said slowly to Steve Cope:

"If you buy a Chocolate Frog—a popular snack in the wizarding world—it'll give you a card. I've collected 92 of them from Arboric Browning, an inventor and a great prankster."

She smacked her lips, as if remembering the taste of chocolate frogs: "...but they will run, and there are often no people on the card."

Steve asked cooperatively, "What's going on here?"

Abby already has an answer to this question: "You can't ask them to be there every day, and they often want to do something of their own."

"That sounds interesting."

Steve couldn't help laughing.Abby looked at him and couldn't help showing dimples: "Do you really think so?"

"Of course. Why not?"

he asked back.There is no fear or disgust in the eyes, and the luster of the pupils is like a transparent sapphire.

"Oh, I'm so glad you like it." Abby's face was a little red, and her dimples seemed to be filled with rum, "Maybe we can share chocolate frogs together then."

She gestured enthusiastically: "They can replenish physical strength. They can jump and escape. They are no different from real frogs, but they taste very good!"

Steve: "..."

He thought of the ice mouse who was so cold that he almost swears, his smile could hardly be maintained.As for the chocolate frog, it was also hard for him to imagine himself grabbing a magical snack all over the room, and finally stuffing the wriggling frog's feet into his mouth.

But at this time, he couldn't be cowardly, he said calmly and calmly, "Okay."

At worst, he can give it to his good friends, Bucky or Tony.

They'd be more than happy to help him share one or two.

Abby looked at him fixedly, and let out another long breath: "That's great."

It seems to be hiding in the bed in winter and yawning.Even the hands and feet are soft.

Steve didn't ask her "why does it feel so good", because he also thinks this moment is good, too good to describe in words.

Trust each other, so be happy.The two looked at each other, unwilling to move their eyes away, and both giggled under the rain-dropping eaves.

……

"The rain seems to be light."

Abby whispered, and Steve let out a "huh" and poked his head out to look outside.

Still some way from home.Although the rain stopped getting heavier, it was still sticky and grinding. If I left now, I'm afraid my clothes would be drenched when I got home.

"Let's go."

He stretched out one arm to draw her closer, and with the other he unfastened the shield behind his back.

The shield flipped sideways in the palm of his hand and became a ready-made rain shield. Steve took her with one hand and rushed into the rain.

And the shield is always held above her head, protecting her from the wind and rain.

Abby was shocked by his operation for a moment at first, but then she wanted to laugh for some reason, and she could hardly hold back her smile.

The two stepped on countless puddles, and Abby's smile never stopped.

……

Unbeknownst to them, however, Natasha and Tony came with them, carrying umbrellas.

Tony watched them go with a lump of mud in his throat.

After a while, he turned to Natasha expressionlessly: "...Is this what you want to see?"

The black widow was silent for two seconds, and said slowly: "I didn't expect such an operation."

Iron Man rubbed his sore cheeks: "I decided to call them the Two Idiots in the Rain. You don't want to give me the title of Big Idiot, there's no way."

Natasha shrugged her shoulders: "Thinking about it, this is an ancient romance across the centuries, and it's quite unique. At least the girl likes it."

Tony snorted, "That's why I called them two idiots in the rain. They disappeared from my eyes like two clumps of waste that couldn't wait to be picked up by sanitation workers."

"—and vibranium shields look like trash can lids."

The harsh metaphor made the black widow choke.

But she quickly found a point of counterattack: "It may be difficult for you to understand, but this is love."

Hmph, love.

Tony pouted inwardly.Well, well, love, even old popsicles have spring these days.

If being in love is such a silly job, he would rather be in love with the armor for the rest of his life than be lowered by dopamine.

The raindrops were pattering on the umbrella, and the back of the president's father was like a graceful prodigal son.

……

It was evening when Abby got home.

The more winter, the sooner it gets dark, not to mention the rainy weather.The house was dark, the curtains were tightly closed, and there was no light at all.

Abby felt for the switch on the wall and turned on the light.The darkness was dispelled by the momentary flood of light.

As usual, she went to the greenhouse first, and the short walk was extremely difficult.

Too many things happened today, she didn't think of the cow shaking the tree and the promise she made to it until the second before she opened the door of the house.

... To be honest, she was a little afraid of its tear attack, this scene was too much for her.Abby has been doing spiritual construction for a long time, and her footsteps linger repeatedly at the door of the greenhouse.

However, before she finished her spiritual construction, Niutauhua poked her head out happily.

"good evening."

Abby greets it.At the same time pouted his lips, ready to kiss its cow on the head.

...The result was avoided by the bull head shaking the tree.

Abby: "..."

It escaped!

She really didn't want to admit that her heart, which was already riddled with holes, was hurt the moment the cow head flower avoided it!

The world doesn't love her anymore, and neither does Gnosaurus.Her tears had begun to gather strength.

However, Niutou shook the tree and saw her standing there in a daze, as if afraid of her overthinking, he rubbed his head affectionately on her cheek.

The hell is that Abby seems to be able to hear it's inner voice in its behavior: it's okay to rub, but not to kiss.

Abby held back her tears for a while, she looked up and down, and carefully looked at the bull's head shaking tree, and found that there were a lot of things wrong with it today——

For example, it didn't care at all when it didn't see its blind date partner, as if it was still very happy; for example, it didn't allow her to kiss; another example, her branches kept hiding, as if they were hiding something.

Soon Abby got the answer: the bull head shook the tree and shyly swayed from side to side, and two things came out from behind in a dawdling way!

Abby took a closer look and gasped in fright.

She looked like she was going to pass out at any moment, screaming in the voice of a stern daddy of a lost girl:

"Merlin's boxers! Whose child is this?"

Yes!It is its fruit that the bull's head shakes the tree and pushes out!

It's been a really, really confusing day, and Abby suspects she's muddling through her day.She didn't expect that with just such a little effort, the cow head shook the tree and pollinated other wild flowers. I didn't even see the flowers, and now there are fruits!

It is true that the Bullhead Shaking Tree is a plant that "marries and has children" very quickly, but Abby still feels that her soul has been shocked.

The key is—whose fruit is it?

Abby asked repeatedly, and the bull shook the tree and swayed.At last the big head jerked and fell onto the lovage that was growing behind it.

The lovage stretched out its arms and embraced it and their fruit.

Abby only felt a thunder rushing over her head.

Merlin, can anyone tell me how they got together——

Interracial love is also blossoming and bearing fruit, I'm afraid this fruit is not a mutant fruit!

She collapsed for a long time in front of this happy family of three, and finally regained her scattered sanity.

She comforted herself: Lovage is also good, it’s not that she said Mandrake is bad, it’s just that Mandrake has a bad temper and likes to scream at every turn, you can’t find someone like this when you’re looking for a partner; in comparison, the conditions of lovage She is very good, tall and gentle, fragrant all day long...

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in my heart!

The matter is a foregone conclusion, Abby looked at the head of their ugly child, the cow, and then at the handsome and tall "son-in-law", and sighed:

"As long as you are happy."

Niutou came to appease her shaking the tree, and held two milk bottles in front of her like offering treasures, as if to say: It's yours, it's all yours.

Abby felt much better again.She touched the milk bottle fruit, and it looked no different from the ordinary milk bottle fruit depicted in the book.

She was about to take a closer look when the bull shook the tree and suddenly shrank the vines, and the bull didn't move.

The lovage concealed the fragrance, and the branches and leaves rustled.

The plants in the greenhouse are also rustling, as if singing a symphony.

However, it is now indoors, and there is no wind in the house.

Abby turned her head to look at the greenhouse door, which she wore when she came in; the sky was slowly getting dark, the tree shadows covered the window lattice, and the room was getting darker and darker.

She turned her head again and inadvertently glanced at the glass window.As a result, he was almost forced to jump by the figure reflected on the glass!

Not nearly, actually—she literally jumped up right away!It jumped two meters away like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

Behind her, a man as handsome and tall as lovage looked at her with a smile.

Abby swallowed the scream that was about to come out of her throat.

She had seen this man before, and she remembered his name as Rocky.

……

"Take it easy, ma'am."

Loki comforted her with a tone of "the weather is fine today", and even joked:

"I was going to jump in from the ledge, like Romeo in a rainstorm—it was Romeo, wasn't it?"

Abby squeezed the corners of her mouth into a straight line, which made her cheeks pop a little.

Whose Romeo is like this...

robber!Thief!Stoke!

Abby didn't hesitate to use the worst words she could think of to scold him in her heart, but in view of the movement of this strange man still holding the hellebore in his hand, Abby still rolled herself into a bun and spoke softly:

"You, what are you here for?"

"I'm here to give my apology gift, beauty." Loki took a step forward, which made Abby back again and again, "I'm really, really sorry, my rudeness to the lady didn't come from me Heart."

Nonsense.

In the process of confronting her, he obviously enjoyed it and was very happy!

"I just went back to the fairy palace and picked a flower for you." He maintained his hypocritical gentlemanly manner, "Don't you want to see it? I have spent a lot of effort."

Even though his voice was as seductive as his words, Abby's heart just gave a jerk and calm came back.

She asked in a calm tone that she didn't even expect, "Didn't you get arrested?"

Loki grinned, as if he had heard a very interesting joke.

"What kind of place do you think can trap me on this planet?"

Abby looked around: "Where's your brother? Did you leave him?"

Loki's smile froze on his face.

He was a little impatient, and without further ado, he took out the flower directly from the close pocket of his black suit.

Golden, shiny.

Abby's breathing stopped momentarily.

The hateful evil god held the flower and watched it over and over again, as if saying, "Come and get it".

Abby was so angry that he couldn't help shouting: "This flower is fake! Don't lie to me again!"

She seldom gets angry, which doesn't mean she is willing to endure repeated teasing.

This is not an adult man, he is clearly a giant baby!I don't know what pleasure he can get out of such vile behavior!

Loki was even more surprised to see Abby turned into a puffer fish.The golden flower was crushed by his fingers, and the powder disappeared into the air.

He slowly opened the corners of his mouth: "So, it's not a wrong shot."

Abby couldn't believe that there were such boring people in the world!

Simply, simply unreasonable!

However, as if she had a tacit understanding, almost at the same time that she was about to open her mouth to speak ill of him, the bull head shaking the tree, who had been lying in the greenhouse and pretending to be dead, suddenly raised her head.

It took out the milk bottle fruit, and like a cold pea shooter, the bull's head pressed on the fruit.

Hearing a slight "poof", a stream of sweet milk burst out of the bottle fruit, right in the middle of Rocky's black suit!

Loki: "..."

This collision of black and white is very difficult to look at directly!

Abby's eyes went dark, as if seeing the end of the world.

With a half-smile under Abby's flustered gaze, Loki took out a delicate silk handkerchief from his suit pocket, and wiped it slowly.

Abby stuck to the base of the wall, and she wanted to hold the dead cow's head to cut a hole in the wall, and then jump down together.Because she no longer dared to see what would happen next.

Loki rubbed it, and the sinister smile gradually disappeared from his face.Instead, there was a deadpan expression.

Because he found that the place sprayed by the bottle fruit had penetrated from the outside of the suit, his chest slowly changed surprisingly.From the original flat, it gradually rises, becomes bulging, and finally towers...

He watched helplessly, and he grew a pair of human breasts that made his blood pumping!

"..."

He stopped, threw the handkerchief away, and stopped wiping it.Staring at the pair of round female breasts, he began to doubt God.

Maybe it was just a dream, when he woke up he was still lying on the luxurious bed in Asgard, waiting for the maid to feed him grapes.

Abby stuck to the wall tightly, as if growing together with the wall.She was thrilled by this extraordinary scene!

Although the appearance of the evil god tends to be delicate, he also has the masculinity and masculinity, so he is not indistinguishable from male and female; so at this moment, he is wearing a pair of... huge, huge breasts. "To describe.

Perhaps it should be called "curiosity hunting"——

The entire greenhouse fell into deathly silence.Abby felt like she was suffocating.At this time, Niu Tau Hua still came over, and rubbed her face like a show of power.

It seems to be very proud: Look, I will avenge you!

This action is like a thawing signal, and the frozen atmosphere is instantly broken.Loki shot suddenly, the movement was too fast to see clearly, and he had already put the dagger on Abby's neck.

Abby's cold sweat came down "shua".

Behind her is the wall, with a dagger on her neck.The posture determines that Loki must not be too far away from her, which creates a very embarrassing problem...

Big boobs meet big boobs, it's a lot of fun.

Rocky's soft lumps pressed against hers, like four lumps of very elastic jelly.

The words he said were not so pleasant. Abby knew that he was on the verge of collapse as soon as he heard his voice, and his temples were bulging with blue veins:

"I don't have that much diplomacy to tell you right now, ma'am. You better hope you have the antidote in ten seconds—"

The Abby repeater is online again: "I, I, I..."

I have no antidote either!Who knew that the legend that "being sprayed with a milk bottle will grow your breasts" is actually true!

However, within ten seconds, there was a commotion outside the door.Abby opened her eyes wide, and suddenly heard a "bang", the ceiling and the floor trembled at the same time.

Someone broke in by force.It started with the big blond guy that Abby just met today, and he was full of firepower as soon as he walked in the door, like a roaring Thomas the train:

"Loki-!! How dare you make me sing baby lullabies to an empty room for half an hour-"

The locomotive's locomotive broke off, and Thor's jaw was dislocated.

His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, watching the "Ji Qing" scene in front of him.

He made a very ungodly gesture: he rubbed his eyes, repeatedly, more than ten times.

Steve who followed was also momentarily speechless.But at least he saw the dormant crisis from Ji's affectionate appearance, and he couldn't help but clenched his five fingers into fists.

He said in a deep voice, "Let her go, Loki."

Loki laughed angrily: "Ha, let her go! You teacher of justice might as well see what crazy things she has done—"

His angry rebuke was interrupted by Thor's roar of laughter.

Thor laughed wildly, almost to tears.Wiping the corners of his eyes, he commented:

"Oh brother, now you don't have to dislike your thin chest, we are all the same."

This evaluation is so sincere that it is almost cruel, at least it is stepping on the painful feet of the evil god.Abby felt dazzled for a moment, and Loki quickly let go of her, temporarily changing the target, and he started chasing Thor around the living room, playing his beloved "kidney poking game" with his brother.

The narrow living room suddenly became wild.Among them are also mixed with Loki's anxious "let that lifeless woman wait for me", and Thor's silver bell-like "hahahahahaha"!

He sounds like he's going to stomp all over Loki's sore foot, and Thor can be heard from afar pretending, "Oh, I don't usually fight girls! I think we should go grab a coffee!"

……

Two or 10 minutes later, two people with varying degrees of injuries sat on the sofa at Abby's house.

Seeing Loki sitting down too, Abby quickly moved towards Steve in fright, wishing she could tuck herself into his arms.

Steve expressed his willingness to cooperate.

Loki folded his arms - he used to do this posture often, but now he became a little bit sexy because of the two lumps on his chest, and it looked like he was deliberately holding the two meatballs.

His face was as cold as ice: "There is nothing to say, now, hand over the antidote immediately. I can also consider giving you an easier way to die."

Before Steve frowned fiercely, Thor spoke first:

"If you didn't tease her on purpose, her plants wouldn't hurt you."

In the final analysis, my brother is still cheap.

Loki stared at Thor with those eyes that seemed to be dripping water, and he gritted his teeth and let out a sneer.

That sneer made Abby shiver.

She spoke suddenly, preventing the two brothers from staring at each other: "Actually... don't worry too much. The book says that as long as you don't take the bottle fruit, but just get sprayed with its juice, the effect won't be particularly long."

She shrank her neck, and her voice became extremely small:

"Probably... it will return to normal in about three days, 72 hours."

"..."

Loki's expression is like a vampire has eaten garlic, and Professor McGonagall has been smashed with a dung bomb.

Thor smacked his lips as if he couldn't finish it: "Oh, it's a pity."

He asked, "Is there any way to make him last longer?"

Loki's eyes told Thor that he was cold.The two god brothers rolled into a ball on the sofa again.

The scene was originally very cruel, but because of the relationship between the two lumps of meat, it became sticky, sticky to the point of burning eyes.

Abby turned her head away.

Steve, too, seemed uncomfortable, trying to separate the two gods and leaving them at the door.At the same time, the channel was connected and the members of the Avengers were notified.

The Avengers are coming again with great vigor, and everyone always enjoys the Loki hunt.As a result, when he saw the big-breasted evil god fighting Thor, his eyeballs and jaws crackled and fell to the ground.

Natasha and Hawkeye laughed so hard that the door would collapse.

Loki still didn't give up, and raised his voice out of breath: "Is there any damn way to make it go away as soon as possible?!"

He sounded like he was going to cut those two obtrusive things with a knife.

The Avengers burst into another series of "hahahaha", laughing to and fro.

Through the door, Abby called to him slowly, "Maybe I can try, but you have to keep your promise and give me the flowers."

Hearing that there was no movement at the door, Abby thought for a while and added: "This baby bottle fruit is the child of lovage grass and ox head shaking tree, and it is likely to be a mutant variety."

The implication is that she is actually not sure how long the statute of limitations will be, and she may never be able to change back.

Loki: "..."

……

After the little Avengers excitedly tied Loki away again, Abby's house regained peace.

She was still sitting on the sofa, not in a high mood.Steve breathed very quietly, for fear of making her more unpleasant.

She sat for a while, then pulled out two loose items from her pocket, and Steve glanced over and saw it was a necklace.

It was a broken necklace, in the shape of an eyeball, neatly split in half.

Abby pursed her lips and took out a small stick from another pocket, which Steve guessed was a wizard's wand.

She tapped the broken necklace with her wand, and whispered a spell: "Restore to the original."

There was a wilting little spark from the wand, and the spell failed.Abby was not discouraged either, she shot off the sparks and re-chanted the spell.

Steve sat next to her, silently watching her read.

Abby said "Back to First" about ten times, with all sorts of surprises; but the last time she succeeded, the two halves of the necklace came together.

She lifted it up carefully, shook it, and the connection was tight, and it did not split again.

Abby breathed a sigh of relief, she put the necklace back together, hung it around her neck, and warmed the cold place with her skin.

There was an intangible sense of melancholy in her heart, similar to a person walking on a cliff and stepping into the air.

The exterior of the necklace had been restored and looked brand new; but Abby could feel that the magic had leaked out of it, perhaps when it burst into light to save her.

It was once cast with a guardian spell, but now it has become an empty shell.

Steve saw Abby sitting there, motionless, not knowing what was going on in his mind.His knee moved slightly, touching hers.

Abby was startled awake by his movement, and as if she had only just noticed Steve by her side, she stood up quickly and said:

"I'm sorry Steve, I..."

Before he finished speaking, the world was spinning.A sense of dizziness suddenly hit her, and her vision became hazy, like a layer of black mist.

A mountain was pressing on her body, or her forehead... She felt it was very hot there, so hot that she was about to burn.

In a blur, Abby saw Steve's panic-stricken face, and heard him anxiously calling his name——

Then with a "snap", the power was cut off, and the world turned into darkness.

……

When Abby woke up again, she found herself lying on the bed.

She looked around: still at home.It is a familiar bed, a familiar bedroom.

... What's wrong with her?

The door slammed softly, and it was Steve who slowed down and walked in.He also had a tray in his hand.

Seeing that Abby woke up and seemed to want to move, he quickly put the tray on the bedside table and carefully held her down.

"You have a fever." He said this, and raised the pillow for her.

Abby then belatedly felt a burning thirst in her throat.There is still a slight heat from the forehead to the neck, and the body is a little sticky.

"Maybe it's because of the rain." Steve helped her push a lock of hair behind her ear, and touched her cheek, which was still warm, with his fingers, "here to drink the medicine."

He fetched the tray of medicine and a glass of water and handed it to Abby.Seeing her holding the glass as if she had found a precious treasure, she drank in a hurry, and occasionally made a muffled sound of being choked.

Steve couldn't stop worrying. He stroked her back and told her to "slow down".

After seeing her drink more than half of it in one breath, Steve felt that something was wrong.

He reminded her: "Medicine".

Abby faltered and licked her mouth.

"Steve, I can..."

She was about to say "I'm a wizard and I can make my own refreshment potions," but Steve was too aggressive, and it didn't look like he was going to put her out of bed at all.

Steve's words proved her guess. His voice was soft but a little harsh: "Drink the medicine first."

Abby shrank back under the covers, not daring to question his authority any longer.

Ordinary cold medicine is no better than magic medicine, and it doesn't work so quickly.After Abby finished drinking, she felt that her throat was not so dry, but she was still not energetic.

Steve saw her curled up in the quilt, her small face was wrinkled and white, because the heat had not completely faded away, and her skin was morbidly red again, knowing that she would not be having a good time, his whole heart immediately All screwed up.

Seeing him frowning tightly, Abby said in a low voice, "Steve, it's okay, I'll be fine after a night of sleep."

She always troubles her neighbors.Although he was kind and warm-hearted, Abby couldn't bear to bother him back.She had caused enough trouble for him.

"I'm here to watch you." Steve sounded non-negotiable.But he soon softened his voice, like a coffee cake melting in the sun:

"If you're bored, I can read to you."

"One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Reminiscence of Time Gone" or other world famous works, any one will do.

Abby slowly raised the quilt, covering her chin and mouth, revealing only a pair of steaming eyes.The eyes drooped badly, and were softer and more tender than usual.

She really realized that she was sick, because people who are sick are confused and more self-willed than usual.

She asked softly, "Can you tell me a story?"

Steve didn't answer right away.That might be a bit beyond the scope of this World War II veteran.

"..."

Abby didn't hear his answer, and sank into the bed, so she couldn't even see her eyes.

With some amusement Steve dug her out of the quilt path and tucked her in carefully.He bit the bullet: "Okay, I'll say one, and you can go to sleep after you finish."

Abby responded happily.

Steve cleared his throat, and he started thinking: "...Once upon a time, in the big forest, there was a beautiful little pea..."

Abby asked him, "Why is Little Pea in the forest?"

This is not easy to say.Steve racked his brains: "...she got separated from her mother."

Abby continued to ask: "Is there a difference between beautiful and not beautiful peas?"

"She's... well, she's plump and round." Steve had no choice but to add more persona to Pea, "She's still a golden pea."

The other peas are all green, so they are not as pretty as hers.

Abby has no problem.

She huddled under the quilt, and heard Steve's voice like the waves of the sea, rising and falling: "Little Pea was walking in the forest, walking, and came across a canary."

"The canary jumped up and down, seeing that she was so different, with a sharp beak, she took the pea into her mouth..."

Abby felt like a boat in the waves of a spring day, sleepy in the calm waves.

The hand holding the quilt was loosened, and she slowly fell asleep.

Steve watched her all the time, and he immediately fell silent.He waited until he saw that her breathing had really calmed down, and then carefully hid her hands under the quilt.

And Abby is dreaming right now.

In the dream she became the pea, the difference is that she walked through the forest without meeting anyone.But when she crossed the great lake and crossed to the other side, she found that there was a castle on the other side.

Little Peanut jumped up the stairs, and with inexplicable expectations and apprehensions, pushed open the door.

The lobby is brightly lit, with thousands of candles floating in the air.

That's the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

The little pea began to swell and deform slowly, and grew into a human.Abby walked briskly past the dining table.

There was a lot of noise around the long table, and the crowd formed a ball.Abby's heart was pounding, and she followed them curiously.

She saw a canary.

It has very warm and beautiful feathers, and its tail flicks lively.Everyone teased it with trivial food crumbs, and it turned its head.

Suddenly there was a "bang" in the air, like a champagne cork being popped open.The children exclaimed one after another, and under their gaze, the canary gradually twitched and turned into a bird with long hands and long legs.
