When fighting with the enemy, Captain America has always been decisive and straightforward. He never allows a single point of hesitation on a dangerous and urgent battlefield, because it is likely to let himself die at the hands of the enemy. In life, with friends When getting along, Steve always appears gentle and tolerant. He is like a big-hearted patriarch, tolerant of everything they have.

But that doesn't mean Steve is calm about everything, he also has hesitations.

Like this moment.

The bell rang in the campus, representing class, but Steve stopped, with a hesitant look on his face, Steve felt that maybe he should think about it again, what should he do in various situations? Do.

For example, if Joey has returned to normal after seeing him, and there is no difference between getting along with him before, he should mention his own thoughts and tell Joey that he also feels that what happened that day will not affect his impression of him. They are still friends.

But if he took the initiative to mention it again, would it be possible to make the atmosphere between the two of them awkward again?

Steve was pensive, and his expression was a little serious. Any outsider who saw his expression would probably think that this man was thinking about a very serious matter.

What if Joey showed an indifferent expression after seeing him?

Thinking of this situation, Steve frowned even tighter.

What if Joey told him directly that he refused to stay with him anymore and hoped that the two of them would stop contacting in the future?

This is not impossible, because before Steve came here, he used his inexperienced Internet experience to post a post. The content of the post was whether they could continue to be friends if they rejected the friend’s confession, although some people expressed optimism. Even if the confession failed, he could still maintain the friendship, but some people suggested that he would feel very uncomfortable and chose to gradually alienate the other party.

And the latter situation is similar to the situation Steve is facing at this time. Joey has not actively communicated with him for a while. Isn't this just a sign of cold treatment of their relationship and the relationship between the two is gradually fading?

So how should he respond then?

Talk about their good experiences in the past, and tell Joey that the failure of the confession does not mean that they can no longer be friends. The relationship is not only the development of love, friendship can also move people, and maybe When Joey looks back at it later, he will think it was nothing.

Steve pressed his fist to his lips, lingered back and forth for a while, and finally his eyes flashed with determination.

No matter what, he had to give it a try. Although he was a little apprehensive, considering Joey's character, Steve felt that there might be hope for their friendship to be redeemed.

After making up his mind, Steve stopped staying in place and continued to walk forward.

Before the amusement park incident, Joey was very willing to share his daily life with him, so Steve also knew about Joey’s general course schedule and the classrooms he would go to. Because of this, although Steve was It was the first time he came to the state university, but after seeing the campus map at the school gate, he also knew where to go to meet Joey at this time.

But before he reached the teaching building where Joey attended class, Steve noticed a group of people approaching in the distance. Judging from the age of their clothes, it was obvious that they were the school leaders. That, that doesn't get Steve's attention, he just glances away and then looks away.

The reason why he was stunned for a moment was the brown-haired man wearing sunglasses in the center of the crowd.

Steve thought he looked so familiar, so familiar that it took him less than three seconds to figure out who this person was——

Tony Stark.

But why did he come to this school?

This was the first thought that popped into Steve's mind, but it didn't take long for him to realize that Steve had said that he was a relative of Joey, so it was probably because of Joey that he came to school.

Steve glanced at the school building not far away, and then at the school building that was getting closer. The destination was obviously also the crowd in this school building.

"Mr. Stark, I didn't expect you to be willing to sponsor this competition. On behalf of the whole school, I would like to thank you for your generosity." The principal smiled.

"If a comfortable rest environment can make them more relaxed to participate in this global competition, maybe they can perform better." Tony said casually. He doesn't like this kind of boring communication on the surface. Under normal circumstances, he would at most provide sponsorship funds and not come to the school.

The reason why he is willing to appear here is only because he wants to see what his little nephew looks like in class.

When he was about to walk into the teaching building, Tony tilted his head slightly, and looked straight at one place under the sunglasses, but there was nothing unusual except for the students who looked normal.

But Tony always felt that someone was looking at him just now, a trace of doubt floated in his heart, and Tony looked back.

Because of Tony's special request, the school leaders did not disturb the students who were in class, and the quietly opened back door did not wake them up who were concentrating on class. Tony soon saw Joey with his back turned to him.

He was wearing white and clean short sleeves, and his slightly fluffy black hair made people want to rub it. Joey's expression could not be seen from Tony's direction, but just relying on imagination, Tony could know that Joey must be Very seriously.

There was a gentle smile in those brown eyes under the sunglasses.

Joey, who was thinking about the knowledge points taught by the professor, didn't know that his uncle was standing at the back door of the large classroom watching him.

After class, he received a notification from the school that because of the sponsorship of Stark Corporation, they can enjoy the highest-end and most comfortable accommodation environment without spending a single penny as competition members. Before he was surprised by this, he was Peter who hurried over told one thing. While he was in class, Mr. Tony Stark visited the entire campus under the guidance of the school leaders, and even went to the building where they were classing.

"Did you see him?" Peter asked.

This question is quite normal, especially considering that Peter's idol is his uncle, so he would naturally care about meeting his idol, so Joey just shook his head, "No," he shrugged, "You know, I was Attend class."

Peter quietly breathed a sigh of relief. After knowing this, Peter, who was already worried, was not thinking about whether he might meet his idol, but whether Mr. Stark came to school because he wanted to be with Joey. Get along in private.

Peter thought very seriously, as a qualified friend, even if he hadn't thought of how to tactfully communicate with Joey about whether Mr. Stark is very caring and can be a qualified boyfriend, at least he would Defend the body and mind of your little friends!

You can't hand over your virginity at will!Peter clenched his fist in his heart. Even someone like him who has no emotional experience knows that first love often leaves a strong mark on people's experience. Peter doesn't want Joey to end up sad.

Holding the book, Joey looked at Peter, who was suddenly full of fighting spirit, and blinked.

He didn't quite understand what happened to Peter. He tilted his head and thought about it. He thought maybe it was because he missed Tony's arrival?

He patted Peter on the shoulder and comforted him: "There will always be a chance to meet Mr. Stark, Peter, I think he will be happy that he has such a loyal fan."

Peter: ...

He thought, a little melancholy, that I might be happier if my friend hadn't fallen in love with Mr. Stark, and might be hurt by his affections.

Back in the dormitory, Joey habitually glanced at the other bed, which was still empty. Eduardo still hadn’t come to school. After asking the teacher, he got the news that Eduardo had taken a long vacation. After thinking about the vampire Because of his identity, Joey could only comfort himself that maybe it was because there was something that belonged to their race that needed to be dealt with, so he couldn't contact his friend.

He put the book on the desk casually, took a change of clothes and went to the public bathroom to take a shower, and while rubbing the dripping hair with a towel, he went to bed.

He picked up the phone on the pillow and dialed Tony's number.

"I heard Peter tell me that you came to school today, uncle."

Joey stopped rubbing his hair. With a white towel on his head, he sat cross-legged on the bed with a casual image and looked very relaxed.

"You surprised me, little Joey." Tony on the other end of the phone didn't continue what he was doing. After receiving the call from Joey, he stopped the original work of transforming the suit with the AI ​​​​butler, and casually Pulled a chair and sat down.

"I remember that you were not interested in this aspect at all before. When I told you about those things, although you listened very hard, in the eyes of your dear uncle, you are so ignorant and too cute. I can't help pinching your cheek." He joked.

At that time, Joey was completely confused on the right cheek, and puzzled on the left cheek, with the expression of "I don't understand what you are saying, but I feel that you are very powerful, uncle".

"I'm an adult now," Joey coughed, and he said sternly, "You can't describe me as cute, uncle."

"Even if you are an adult, you will always be cute in my eyes," Tony smiled lowly, turning the sleek part in his hand, watching it circle on the table, with a very relaxed tone, "Of course , your considerate uncle will remember not to say this word in front of outsiders, and I will remember that our grown-up little Joey has reached the time to pursue affection."

Pursue love...

At that moment, Joey couldn't deny that he thought of Steve, but then he shook his head, shook off the influence in his mind, and continued: "If I get the ranking this time, can I get a reward from you, uncle?" ?”

Joey seldom asks Tony for anything, but Tony gives it more on his own initiative, so it is rare for him to hear that Joey wants a reward, and Tony simply said that of course he can.

"What do you want, dear little Joey?" Tony enthusiastically guessed what he might think, "Maybe you want something cooler and more handsome, the latest popular sports car? Or the work of a painter you like ? Or the game consoles that are especially popular recently? I remember you said that you like a character in a certain comic, if it’s those models..."

"Neither." Joey said.

That didn't take away the fun from Tony's guess, "Wow, that surprised me little Joey, so what were you hoping for?"

Tony Stark, who has many titles such as business tycoon, inventive genius and superhero Iron Man, has his own self-confidence. He doesn't think he can't achieve the reward that Joey wants.

"If I got the ranking, if I got the top three, I—"

After a pause, Joey leaned back and leaned against the wall. The towel slipped from the top of his head. Even if the water droplets fell from his hair on his smooth shoulders that were slightly slid down, he didn't care at all. He said softly:

"I hope you, Uncle Tony, can tell me an answer at that time."

I hope that at that time, you will feel that I have the qualifications to know.

Although Tony on the other end of the phone was puzzled by Joey's answer, he quickly agreed to his request.

After the call was over, Joey put down his phone, he sighed and looked stunned.

After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, remembering that his hair hadn't been dried yet.

It seemed a little too quiet in the dormitory for one person. Although there were other students' voices in the corridor outside, it seemed a little blurry through a door, as if separated into two worlds.

"Ding-dong-"

There was a beep on the phone. It turned out that there was a new hot news on Twitter. Joey swipe the screen, looked at it, moved his fingers, couldn't help but click on the watch list, and click on someone's avatar from his profile picture. 's homepage.

Recently, Steve has tweeted a little more than before, almost one a day. Obviously, the content of each tweet is not too much, but he reads it very slowly, and even every tweet Click through and read the comments below.

From these, he could see that Steve was doing well recently, but when he thought about it carefully, even if he really had troubles, with Steve's character, he would probably only understate it.

The bright screen dimmed because it hadn't been operated for a while, and then quickly turned off. When Joey returned to the phone screen, he was stunned because he saw the smile unconsciously on his face from the screen. .

He unlocked the phone again, hesitated for a few seconds, and clicked into the private message.

Pressing the fingertips on the keyboard, a line of words was gradually typed——

[Steve, I'm going abroad for a competition next week. ]

When he finished typing and his finger was about to hit the send button, he stopped.

Pursing his lips, Joey sighed suddenly when he saw that the closest private message to them was a month ago, and then deleted the content in the input box.

Just wait.

During this period of time, he has never received a message from Steve. Probably Steve is still a little uncomfortable because of his sudden confession. He sent such a private message suddenly. Maybe the other party will be troubled by it, I don’t know if it is Respond politely.

And for Joey, if he does get a rude response, he might as well keep going.

At least not yet, he didn't want to face the possibility that Steve might have decided to stay away from him.

On the other side, in an office of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"How long has he maintained this action?" Barton asked.

Natasha responded to him with a not-so-ladylike look, so Barton understood. He turned his head to look at Steve who was sitting on the sofa. Mobile phone on the table.

"Cap, didn't you go to see your friend today? How is your communication?" Barton walked to him and sat down, raising his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

Steve: "I'm leaving."

Patton:? ?

Natasha: "Don't tell me, you backed down, so you decided to end your friendship?"

Steve seriously denied what they said, "No, I just think that I was not fully prepared when I went today, and I need to be more cautious about friendship."

Barton and Natasha: "Oh."

Steve didn't hear their ridicule, he just frowned slightly, thinking about one thing.

That is--

Why did he subconsciously cover his tracks with the crowd today when he saw Tony Stark looking towards him, and even felt a... strange sense of guilt?

A week later, Joey followed the teacher and several other contestants on Stark's private jet. Because there was Peter among the contestants, they simply sat together. Before the plane took off, the stewardess reminded him with a gentle voice. They check that they are wearing their seat belts.

After seven or eight disappearing flight journeys, they arrived at the competition city, a city full of long history and culture, and also one of the largest financial centers in the world.
