Chapter 135
Chapter 135
Joanna cried for two or three hours.The fear and grievances that had been suppressed by her for most of the day were released in front of Steve.That night, Joanna didn't have dinner, and she nestled on the sofa and said she fell asleep after six o'clock in the afternoon.Steve wanted to make something to eat and wake her up before going to sleep, but looking at the tears on her cheeks, and thinking of her hoarse voice just now, Steve really couldn't bear to put her shouted.Considering that there are cereals, milk, bread and other food at home, Steve simply let Joanna sleep.I plan to cook some digestible food for her after she wakes up.
Joanna's upper body was curled up, her face half buried in the sofa cushions.The lower body is propped crookedly on the edge of the sofa, the thigh above the knee leans sideways on the sofa cushion, and the calf stretches out of the sofa in a reluctant posture, gently touching the ground.
Steve walked lightly to the side of the sofa, touched Joanna's calf tentatively, and after confirming that Joanna did not respond, he gently lifted her calf and took off the high heels she had been wearing all day .This is the first time Steve has seen Joanna's feet up close.Joanna's feet were very cute, with five round and small toes, just like her slightly fat face, exuding a healthy and rich beauty.When the pair of pointed high-heeled shoes left Joanna's feet, the five toes seemed to be unsealed and stretched out naturally. They even curled up unconsciously, as if they were testing their freedom.
For some reason, Steve felt his face was hot.
Joanna was in such a deep sleep that even if Steve took off her shoes at this moment, she didn't feel it.I just twisted it slightly and found a more comfortable position to curl up.
But it was just a sofa after all, no matter how hard Joanna found a comfortable seat, she couldn't fully stretch out her body.
Steve stood by the sofa, looked at Joanna for a long time, finally sighed, and bent over to carry Joanna into the bedroom.
As soon as Steve's arm gently supported Joanna's neck, Joanna groaned uncomfortably.Steve paused, thinking Joanna was about to wake up.But Joanna just leaned into Steve's arms, resting her head comfortably on his strong arms, and remained silent again.
Steve heaved a sigh of relief, and hugged Joanna in one go.Joanna slept like a pig.She didn't respond to Steve's big move.This definitely helped Steve a lot.He firmly carried Joanna back to the bedroom and placed her on his single bed.
Obviously, the single bed was much more comfortable than the sofa in his living room.As soon as Joanna lay down, she turned over almost subconsciously, enjoying her sweet sleep in an extremely stretched and comfortable position.
Now that Joanna is lying on Steve's bed.Naturally, Steve couldn't lie down anymore.
This is not entirely due to Steve's old-fashioned gentleman character. After all, he has limited financial means and has not done the deeds of a local tyrant like Tony who bought a kingsize bed for his home.Steve can understand the matter of young lovers sharing a bed, but Joanna cried so badly a few hours ago, and at this time, instead of letting her sleep comfortably alone, she went to squeeze together with her, which is also So inconsiderate.
Steve sat on the edge of the bed and watched Joanna's sleeping face silently. After a while, he walked out the door lightly and went to sleep on the sofa in the living room alone.
I don't know if it was because of tiredness or other reasons, but Joanna slept very peacefully this time, and Joanna didn't wake up until after 8 o'clock the next morning.
The first thing Joanna does when she wakes up is check her clothes.Because she keenly realized that the bed under her body was not her own bed, and the room she was in was not her room either.With the experience in Boston last time, Joanna was always extra vigilant about similar situations.
After discovering that her clothes were in good condition, Joanna took the time to look at this strange bedroom.
In fact, before that, Joanna had never even been to Steve's residence, and she knew almost nothing about Steve's living habits and home furnishings.Even the living room where people are treated is unfamiliar to Joanna, not to mention the bedroom full of privacy.Because there were no slippers, Joanna could only step on the floor with bare feet and look around the furnishings in the bedroom.
Steve is not a very self-conscious person, and there is almost nothing in the room that might reveal his identity.Despite this, Joanna realized from the neatly placed items and the spotless windowsill that this might be Steve's bedroom.
Well... she didn't deduce the owner of the bedroom from these details.The reason why she realized that this was Steve's bedroom was because her brain was still intact and she still remembered what happened yesterday clearly.
For Joanna, this was a great opportunity to get to know Steve.She hadn't been this close to Steve's personal life so far.
At that moment, Joanna felt a desire to spy.That feeling is like... your boyfriend went to the kitchen to cook, but forgot his phone in the living room, and right now, the information on the phone can be regarded as a glance for you.Even though they know it's wrong to peek at their cellphones, everyone will have such thoughts. The difference is that honest people can resist temptation, while cowardly people...
Like Joanna, she began to extend her evil hands to her boyfriend's privacy.
Steve had few valuables at home, not even a gun.After all, for such a superhero who can fight and carry, shooting is not as enjoyable and convenient as boxing.If necessary, just take it from the enemy, why bother to get a locked cabinet at home to store guns.
Therefore, all the cabinet drawers in Steve's house are left unlocked.For Joanna, she can get a glimpse of Steve's real life with a light pull.
Joanna stood in front of the cabinet very tangled.
How about being an upright person?Or peeking openly?
Life is full of difficult choices.
Joanna put her hand on the handle, fingers clasped tightly.But in the end, she still couldn't pull it away.
There was a soft closing sound from outside the bedroom, as if someone had gone out.Joanna was surprised that her vigilance was so low. How could she have the idea of looking at Steve's personal belongings before she was sure whether he was at home?
Joanna took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her mentality, and then walked to the bedroom door, intending to open the door to see the situation outside.
Joanna inside the door was thinking of being a thief, while Steve outside the door... also wanted to sneak a peek at Joanna to see if she got up.
The two held the doorknob, twisted it lightly at the same time, and then opened the door a small crack.
Joanna pokes out, Steve pokes in.And then just so abruptly... bumped into the other party's cunning appearance.Both of them were taken aback, looking at each other awkwardly through the narrow door.
Steve had just returned from his morning exercise, and he was still steaming.Joanna only felt that the hormones from the Captain America brand rushed straight to her face, and she blushed instantly in a hopeless manner.
Steve didn't expect to encounter such an embarrassing scene, and he felt embarrassed for a while.He quickly took two steps back and explained, "I was just trying to see if you woke up."
Joanna raised her hand uncomfortably and tied her hair behind her ears: "I just woke up too. You... went out for morning exercise?"
Steve said "hmm": "What do you want to eat? I'm going to make it."
"Everything is fine." Joanna pointed to the bathroom, "I want to wash up first."
"Of course." Steve quickly moved out of the way, and finally added, "I bought...towels and toothbrushes, you can..."
Joanna caught a glimpse of the shopping bags on the table, smiled shyly at Steve, grabbed them and hid in the bathroom.
Toothbrushes and towels are the simplest styles.How to describe it?Plain and elegant as if their owners were aloof.
Joanna frowned while holding the toothbrush and towel.
Is Steve sending her a live-in invitation?Or are you sending her a live-in invitation?
When Steve lived in her house, she didn't care about anything.Why did Steve act... so attentive after changing his profile today?
Joanna smiled secretly in her heart. She happily squeezed the toothpaste on the toothbrush, and then happily brushed her teeth.
This good mood ended after half a minute.
After brushing her teeth, Joanna opened the vanity mirror, intending to insert the toothbrush into the cup where Steve put the toothbrush, as a hint to Steve.But when she opened the vanity mirror to reveal the locker behind it, the first thing she saw was a pendant.Not that the pendant is sparkly or luxurious enough to be tempted to stare at.It's just because... this thing doesn't fit well with Steve.Steve doesn't seem like the type to keep decorations.
If it's not a decoration, it's just a...souvenir.
A vague thought flashed through Joanna's mind, so fast that Joanna had no time to catch it.She just instinctively reached out her hand towards the pendant.
The pendant should be quite old, because its surface has been worn, and it looks like it is often worn by people.
Joanna held the pendant, her heart was beating violently, like a thief, she held her breath and listened to the movement outside the door.After confirming that Steve didn't pay attention to her situation, Joanna carefully opened the pendant.
That was no ordinary decorative pendant.
It was a tiny compass.Joanna turned the base, but the compass did not budge.It appears that it has completely failed.
A malfunctioning compass is still being kept so well by Steve.
Joanna just glanced at the portrait of the beauty on the inside of the lid and understood everything.
The beauty of Peggy Carter cannot be lowered even by the scumbag camera technology of that era.
Joanna looked at the portrait seriously for a long time, finally closed the lid gently, and carefully put the pendant back intact.
Steve asked Joanna loudly at the outer door if she needed to heat the milk.
Joanna took a deep breath and replied with a smile: "No."
Then she wrapped her once-used toothbrush in a towel and took it out of the bathroom.
