Hero Growth Manual [Comprehensive British and American]

The hesitant question in his heart was resolved, and Steve finally couldn't help showing a little relaxed look on his tense face.

He signed the last form with a chuckle, then straightened up and moved his shoulders slightly, trying to relax his body that had become a little stiff from writing.

Out of the corner of his eye, he unconsciously looked at the place where Ayu was sitting obediently and eating candy, but in a moment's gap, the place had become empty.

Steve's originally relaxed face became stiff in an instant.

I don’t know if it’s because the little girl always likes to read some weird newspapers these days. Steve looked at the empty seats, and there were some pictures in his mind like a revolving lantern.

The blond young man's face turned pale, presumably what he remembered was not something that made him feel happy.

"Ayu?" Steve turned around, and first tentatively called out to the place where the little girl was sitting, but no one responded. Relaxed fist.

"Stop it."

Steve said, feeling that his smile must be a bit forced at the moment.

After getting no response to the two calls, Steve's eyes became a little dazed. He looked like a soldier whose armor had been pierced, or a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out. He lost all strength for a moment.

The beautiful lady standing beside him has been watching him with great interest, and when she saw him anxiously wishing to go to the police immediately after he was at a loss, she burst out laughing and patted him on the shoulder lightly, feeling extremely anxious The poor man pointed in a direction.

If Steve hadn't been staring at a seat so seriously, but turned in the other direction, he'd have quickly noticed something was wrong.

The little girl probably felt bored, she didn't know when she ran to the door, she was holding a stool with one hand, concentrating on reading a newspaper.

She looked down seriously, her eyes sparkling, as if her jar was filled with colorful candies, but her neck didn't stop, she kept nodding her head in agreement with the contents of the newspaper.

Steve stuffed his beating heart back into his chest, and took a deep breath to calm his poor heart that hadn't healed.

If the little girl really got lost by his side, Steve himself might die on the spot without the return of his good brother who was far away on the battlefield.

The handsome American young man was well-bred. Although the great panic took away all his mind, when he came back to his senses, he still did not forget to smile and thank the lady who helped him.

"Thank you very much." Steve put down the pen that he had not had time to put down, and said softly to the lady beside him, "Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

He is a gentle young man, but when he looks at someone seriously, he always makes people feel his heartbeating firmness and bravery, which is the unique charm of Brooklyn's little man.

The lady in front of Steve seemed moved, she smiled lightly, then shook her head: "You're welcome."

Such a generous and beautiful lady is always very attractive, Steve smiled at her friendly, and then the gentle blue ocean looked helplessly at the dedicated little girl beside the newspaper shelf at the door.

Agent Carter took another look with interest at this young man, who seemed a little short in most people's eyes, and for some reason, couldn't help but smile.

It seemed that he was really worried, he was too busy to leave, and he didn't even remember that he forgot to hand in the form.

The kind Agent Carter helped the careless young man pass the form to the staff, and said softly, "I'm sorry." Then he looked back at the big and small who were already holding hands at the door, and couldn't help but bend their eyes slightly little bit.

She remembered the name on the form.

Mr. Steve Rogers.

Steve walked up to Ayu until he took her hand. He originally wanted to tell her seriously that such behavior would be worrying, but unfortunately, the little girl was still looking down at her intently. newspaper.

There seemed to be no attention at all.

For some reason, Steve suddenly felt a complicated and indescribable feeling in his heart.

If he could come decades later, and happened to have seen the fight in the Qing palace with a long history in China on the other side of the ocean, then he would know that this feeling is called "falling out of favor", and what he wants to do is called "struggling for favor".

It's a pity that he still has a long time to go after decades, so he could only frown slightly with a complicated face.

Realizing that this kind of behavior is obviously not advisable, in the past, he has always pampered and indulged the little girl in the family, and he will never deny any of her wishes, and he will never say harsh words to her.

Today is an exception.

Maybe it was the sudden disappearance of the little girl that frightened him, or maybe it was Ayu who lowered his head and concentrated on reading the newspaper, and the fact that she didn't even realize that a stranger came to hold her hand made Steve feel vigilant.

Steve's voice became more severe than ever before, and became much lower. He called, "Ayu."

A Yu was seeing the place he was interested in, and when he heard his name, he reacted belatedly, his face looked a little dazed.

She subconsciously raised her head to look for the source of the sound, and when she saw the young man's downcast face, she couldn't help being startled.

Ayu bit her lip. Although she didn't quite understand, she also knew that Steve was upset.

If this is a child who plays a lot, seeing the serious appearance of an adult, he will probably cry first before talking about it, and then cry out loudly, preconceived to take advantage of the position.

And if this is a sensible child, he probably won't be able to control so much before talking, and then go up and hug the angry adult, and then he will find that there is nothing that can't be solved by me.

If that doesn't work out, then two.

However, Ayu, who didn't have time to exchange experience with various children, didn't realize this for the time being. He could only pinch Steve's fingers in a daze, and asked him in a low voice, "Steve, are you upset?"

She can't realize it yet.

She didn't know that people are actually mutual, and some behaviors can affect not only herself, but also those who care about her.

Steve and Bucky have already discovered that Ayu is well-behaved and sensible, and there are still some unexplainable secrets in her body, but she seems to have never gotten along with others, and she is a little slow to feel emotions.

Just like at this time, she suddenly ran out to play somewhere else, and Steve couldn't see her, so he was so anxious, but she didn't know why this happened.

She doesn't know why people worry about her.

She only knew that she finally had a good friend, but he seemed unhappy, so she carefully held her fingers, trying to cheer herself up.

Steve didn't know where Ayu lived before, and how long he hadn't communicated with anyone, but it must have been not a normal place suitable for a child like her.

The blond-haired young man's heart became sore and soft. He tried his best to stretch his tightly locked brows, and couldn't help but soften his tone a little. The little girl didn't know, so he should teach her.

"Ayu." He gently called the little girl's name, picked her up and placed her on the small stool next to the newspaper, and then tried hard to make his words easy to understand.

"Like just now, you didn't tell me, you ran over to play by yourself, and I won't see you after signing, so I will worry about you."

"Worry?"

This is a relatively unfamiliar word to himself, Ayu was stunned for a moment, and instinctively repeated Steve's words, then raised his head to look at him.

"Yes." The young man with gentle eyes smiled, like ripples rippling on the gentle sea, "I'm afraid that you will be in danger, just like when I go home at night and you want to come out to pick me up, this is worry. "

Ayu is no stranger to this feeling, and seems to have remembered that feeling. She wrinkled her whole face in horror, nodded, and whispered, "I won't let Steve worry about me anymore."

The blond young man with a handsome face encouraged and rubbed the soft hair of the cute little girl beside him, and also promised: "I won't let Ayu worry about me." Holding hands with people with faces is also very dangerous."

What he was talking about was that he went to hold the little girl's hand, but the little girl ignored the matter of continuing to read the newspaper.

He said playing, Ayu seemed to be confused for a moment, and then remembered something, and seemed even more confused: "I know it's Steve... Steve's breath is very recognizable, it's..."

The remaining Steve didn't let her finish, but gave a low cough, touched the little girl's head encouragingly, and praised: "Ayu is awesome, this is very good."

He really couldn't accept that a big man smelled like roses.

Not even because of the roses growing at home.

After solving two major problems in one day, Steve was in a good mood for a while, and he began to have time to focus on other things.

"What newspaper are you reading?" He looked down with interest, only saw some gaudy pictures, and turned his head to ask the little girl beside him.

Hearing him talking about this, Ayu's eyes lit up, and his little furry head moved closer, talking to him in a low voice, as if sharing some precious secret.

"Look at this, Steve." She pointed to a place in the newspaper, her voice filled with wonder, "It's amazing how this is done."

She pointed to a plane flying in the sky. It was not particularly difficult for monks to fly, but she was still curious that it could carry so many people with such a heavy weight.

Steve re-fastened the bow on her head, looked down at the newspaper, and was about to explain to her when she pointed to a picture and laughed again.

"Look at this, it's so beautiful." The little girl pointed her chin at him and showed it to him. It was the title of a dance troupe about to perform in Brooklyn. The time was Saturday, the day after tomorrow, the deadline for a week's appointment.

Steve thought for a while, maybe taking the little girl out to play is a good way to divert attention, just to make her feel happy, so he smiled and said: "It's Saturday, let's go and see together that day, shall we?" ?”

"Okay." Ayu Ting's eyes were bent, he thought for a while, then lowered his head and squeezed Steve's fingers.

Agent Carter inadvertently walked by after completing the formalities, and accidentally listened to a small conversation. The beautiful female agent tapped the ticket in her pocket lightly, her red lips curved slightly, and she shook her head helplessly.
