"We just happen to look the same …" Steve told the truth, but to be honest, it didn't sound like the truth.
Justin frowned and looked at Steve seriously. "Uncle Steve, lying is not a good thing. You have to be honest. Also, you have to be skilled at lying. Especially when it sounds like a lie. "
Kolín patted his nephew's shoulder in admiration. "Justin is so smart. Justin is not as gullible as other children. " He sighed and said helplessly, "Actually, Steve is your uncle's long-lost twin brother. Even your dad doesn't know about it. It's a long story, but luckily … Steve and your uncle were reunited in the end. Your uncle hasn't told your dad yet. He wants to find a special day to give him a surprise. So, Justin, you have to keep it a secret for your uncle. "
"Okay!" Justin was infected by Kolín's serious expression and nodded firmly.
Steve, who was being lectured for lying, was speechless.

That day, Kolín took Steve and Justin to the supermarket to buy a lot of ingredients. Obviously, he was going to prepare an extremely sumptuous dinner. If it weren't for the fact that his sister-in-law was on a business trip and his brother, Alan, had an important job that required him to work overtime and basically didn't go home, Justin wouldn't have been sent to Colin's place. Kolín wasn't the clingy kind. It was already good enough that he could get together with his big brother's family on important holidays a few times a year.
So, it was rare for his nephew to come and stay with him for a while, so of course he had to cook a good meal.
At first, Steve felt that it wasn't appropriate for an outsider to attend Kolín's family dinner, but Kolín replied in a very natural tone, "We're twins!"
Steve was speechless. Are you starting to believe your own lies or what?
Steve knew Kolín's good intentions and couldn't help but feel touched. In this strange world after he woke up, he and Kolín had unknowingly established a friendship.
Touched, Steve 'snatched' most of the ingredients. Kolín wanted to refuse, but Steve was too enthusiastic …
Thus, Kolín had one big bag in each hand, Steve had two big bags in each hand, and Justin … had one bag of light contents.
Kolín was the head chef for dinner, and Steve took over the job as an assistant.
"Although the food I make is barely edible, you can leave the picking of the vegetables to me," Steve said with a smile.
"Then I'll cure the meat first." Kolín nodded happily. "Justin, go and do your homework first. Wait for your uncle to cook something delicious for you."
Justin's eyes lit up. "Okay!" In their family, the one who was the best at cooking was his little uncle! Even the food sold outside wasn't as delicious as Little Uncle's!
***
Colin could cook a lot of dishes. Originally, he only knew how to cook from his previous life. However, in this life, his father had passed away and his elder brother had been working hard. Therefore, he learned even more dishes. He couldn't just watch his stupid elder brother become skinny like a bag of bones.
Kolín still preferred Chinese food, but he also knew a little about Japanese sushi, curry, spaghetti, and American hamburgers and sandwiches.
Gradually, cooking became a pastime in his spare time.
He knew how to cook more and more dishes.
Those who didn't know how to cook would probably feel dizzy when they saw all kinds of vegetables, meat, and so on in the kitchen, while those who knew how to cook would list in their minds which dish to cook first and which dish to cook separately. Cooking a table of dishes by one person wasn't the same as cooking them one by one. For example, some dishes needed to be stir-fried with water first, and some needed to be fried first. Then, how to list the order in order to save time and effort to cook the dishes required brains. Otherwise, the end result would be a mess in the kitchen. The dishes on the table would either be cold or condensed, and the dishes that weren't on the table would easily be ruined when they didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Kolín wasn't a rookie.
When the table was almost full, which meant that almost all the dishes were done, Justin couldn't wait to sit at the table. Justin's favorite animation was playing on the TV, but because he had already watched it, he wasn't very focused.
Justin had finished his homework before, and then ran to the living room. He eagerly looked at the kitchen and listened to the sounds of cooking. While waiting, he very sensibly arranged the bowls, plates, and cups.
Kolín finished the last casserole. The captain carefully carried it and put it on the wooden cushion in the middle of the table.
Justin had two models of his favorite "people" next to him, Iron Man and Captain America. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the dishes on the table.
Steve glanced at the two models next to Justin, and then moved away. The atmosphere in the room was warm, and it felt like home.
Kolín opened a bottle of beer and poured it into the glasses in front of him and the captain. Steve wanted to stop him, but Kolín pushed the captain's hand away.
on！ It's just beer! "
Justin very consciously filled his glass with juice.
"Cheers!" Kolín raised his glass, Justin, and Steve raised theirs, and the three glasses clinked together.
Eat to your heart's content!
The more the merrier, the merrier, especially this kind of family meal full of China flavor. Even Steve, who wasn't very keen on food, was stimulated by Kolín and Justin, the two clowns at the table, and joined the fight for food — to help Justin fight against Kolín.
Kolín, this indecent little uncle, not only was he always talking nonsense to tease the child, but he was also fighting for food with the child at the table?!
Steve: This is intolerable.
Kolín: "…" He was just trying to make the atmosphere better, okay? Fighting for food is more delicious. Usually, he was too lazy to eat, so he just ate a mouthful and didn't starve to death …
Am I still your twin?! (?? □ ′)? ?? ━?
Steve: [smile.jpg] You're not.
The lively meal ended.
Kolín made a request to Steve: He had to go out to do something tonight. It's serious. Hey, hey, hey! It's really serious! Believe me!
Steve: "Yes." He still didn't believe him.
Kolín: "So … help me take care of Justin. Let him sleep at your place tonight. Justin … should sleep at 8: 30 or 9: 00 … I'm not sure. Anyway … please! "
***
It was rare that Kolín didn't talk nonsense this time. He really did go out for something serious (although Steve was skeptical in the end, especially after seeing Kolín's expression when he lied to Justin) — to attend Tony Stark's birthday party.
It wasn't a serious invitation, and Tony only mentioned it when they were practicing. But Kolín inexplicably felt that maybe there was some sincerity in it.
He didn't know what Tony Stark's birthday party was like, so he didn't really plan to attend it officially.
He secretly wanted to be Santa Claus and give a gift. (Santa Claus doesn't give birthday gifts! Unless you're born on Christmas!)
He paddled forward and prepared for a late-night visit (?!).
But when he got there …
Kolín: "???!!!" This was Tony Stark's house, which he often came to?!
The whole villa looked like it had been attacked by terrorists.
Kolín hid himself and pieced together the facts from the guests who left in a panic.
The Iron Man and his friend fought in armor.
Then …
The house was torn down.
***
Tony was still dizzy and light-headed from the drunken stupor. Although the fight with Rode had sobered him up a little, the effect wasn't that magical.
"You're the only creature I've ever seen who can tear down a house more than a husky …" Kolín stepped over the collapsed obstacles with some difficulty and walked over to Tony Iron Man, who was sitting in the ruins of the house. Traces of paint scratches could be seen on the steel armor.
Kolín, who had planned to come and leave quietly, changed his original plan when he saw this scene.
"Hmm …" Tony looked up at Kolín. Although he was drunk, his heart was very uncomfortable. Why was he uncomfortable? Who knew …
"?" Kolín saw Tony look at him, then let out a long hum and didn't move. When he looked again, his eyes weren't focused at all …
"…" I really lost to you. Kolín was helpless. He had only come this time to purify Tony and get rid of his poison debuff, but this was a temporary solution. If he didn't want to be poisoned, he could only treat the root, and Kolín couldn't treat the root.
He knew that Tony Stark was the main character and wouldn't die even without him. After all, he could still have a civil war with Captain America in the future, and that would be years in the future, but …
For him now, the world was real, and Tony was his friend. He couldn't and couldn't stand by and do nothing.
After knowing the face of the world, Kolín had a hunch that his life wouldn't be peaceful.
He stepped forward and purified Tony. These little cheats of his weren't very useful, but they were better than nothing.
For example, they were very useful at times like this.
But … Kolín forgot that purification purified all negative effects.
