116.
If there was an end to the silence. ●
Steve pursed his lips and put the bottle of red wine on the wooden dining table. In this short period of time, he had clearly and fully seen countless things about Tomie's life in this room,
Or the information about the life she would live here.
Whether it was the sofa and the curtains,
The huge wardrobe that was newly placed in the bedroom,
Or the clothes and shoes that she casually threw in the corner … her presence was so strong.
Steve couldn't even convince himself that this was just a simple encounter.
The young man lowered his eyes. His light-colored eyelashes seemed to be plated with gold powder under the light and shadow, trembling and scattering a melancholy luster. Tomie didn't say a word about this. She just found the cup when Steve needed it and the bottle opener when he needed it.
Tomie was obviously calmer and colder than Steve in this contact.
In the end, the person who broke this long silence was still Steve. The soldier looked at Tomie's eyes with hesitation and hesitation, "You … What a coincidence."
"No, I specially found you."
Tomie shook her head and dispelled the last trace of fantasy of Steve.
"I want to be with Barnes."
As Tomie said so, she slowly pulled out the chair and sat down. She didn't intend to explain her behavior, but if Steve's will would affect Baki, then Tomie needed to let Steve realize this —
"Sorry,
You've been asleep for too long. I couldn't see any way out while waiting.
In the end, I couldn't hold on to the end. "
In this regard, Steve's face turned pale. His eyelashes trembled and drooped,
Concealing the emotions in his eyes. When he raised his head again, the smile of being praised as "America's sweetheart" bloomed on Steve's lips again. He looked as calm as ever, sincere and tolerant,
"I understand …" He even curved his eyes into a crescent moon, "It's not your fault, you … don't need to apologize for it."
Steve stood up, "Can I borrow the bathroom? I've been walking under the sun for too long,
I hope I won't make you feel that I'm rude. "
"Of course not." Tomie blinked and then watched Steve quickly walk to the bathroom.
When he reappeared a few minutes later, Steve had once again become the young man in Tomie's impression, as if this matter didn't hurt or affect him at all. He even greeted Baki at the door of the kitchen, laughing and joking that Baki should cherish Tomie.
Then? Then, before they started eating, the pager on Steve's waist rang. He said goodbye to Tomie and Baki with a distressed expression as he wished, and then hurried to the battlefield according to his superior's orders. He may have never been so grateful to receive his superior's orders in his life.
Regardless of what Steve was thinking in his heart and how he pretended to be nonchalant as he said goodbye to Bucky, all Fu Jiang could do was to smile without batting an eyelid, pretending that he had never noticed Steve's sincere, almost fake blessing and happy, unreal smile.
When Steve left, Baki also brought the lunch he had prepared to the table one by one.
His green eyes were pure and ignorant. When he looked at Tomie, there was always a hint of reminiscence and contemplation. The only fortunate thing was that the incomplete memories made Baki's guilt towards Steve incomparable to his guilt towards Tomie.
His gaze was gentle as he watched Fu Jiang burying her head in the soup. When the scheming girl raised her head with a white cream mustache and pretended to be ignorant, Bucky couldn't help but smile.
He gently took out a tissue and handed it to Tomie while his other hand touched his lips.
Tomie's response was to widen her eyes and obediently move towards Baki. She pouted and waited for Baki to help her wipe the cream off her lips.
Baki was a little helpless. But in the end, he gently raised his hand.
When his fingertip fell on Tomie's lips, the girl looked up and asked, "Don't run away, okay?" The distance between them was so close that Baki could clearly see himself in Tomie's eyes. He could see all her worries and fears at a glance.
Baki was silent for a long time, but in the end, he pursed his lips and retracted his hand. However, it was obvious that this might be an extremely bad decision. The person he faced was never a docile and obedient kitten. When Baki retracted his hand, this action obviously angered Tomie.
She looked as if she was suddenly pricked by a needle, so much so that she lost her patience. She impatiently and forcefully squeezed into Bucky's arms, forcefully smashing her lips against Bucky's lips — — — — —!
This was a fishy and sweet kiss. Baki's lower lip was bruised and bled, but Tomie acted as if she did not see it. She showed anger and hatred in this kiss that was not even gentle or passionate. Biting and sucking the blood stain, it seemed that she was the one who was hurt and at a loss.
When the tip of Tomie's tongue licked Baki's upper jaw again and again, making him have no choice but to respond, the young man finally gave up and hugged Tomie. While responding to this kiss gently, he gently patted Tomie's back with the back of his broad hand, accommodating all of her uneasiness.
"Do you still want to run away?" Tomie asked again. She looked up at Baki with an extremely stubborn gaze, firmly locked on Baki's face, not allowing him to avoid it at all.
At this moment, Baki seemed to recall something in a trance. It seemed that they had also curled up in such a room, and Tomie had also intimately laid on his chest like this.
However, in his memory, her smile was like a flower, her eyes were bright, and there was a brilliant galaxy that was more gentle and dazzling than the aurora in the extreme north flowing in her eyes … It was not the weak look that she had right now, with red eyes that were forcing herself not to show weakness or cry.
Baki heard his own voice was hoarse and low as he weakly uttered his last resistance, "I … I'm in danger." He trembled in pain because of this sentence.
"I'm in danger."
"You shouldn't be with me. You have more and better choices. You can have a better life … You deserve a better person. You can —"
"But I only want you." Tomie's voice was soft and firm. As she said so, she gently leaned forward. Like a cat, she stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked the slightly congealed blood on Baki's lips. Obediently and meekly, she emphasized again, "I only want you."
And Baki's response was finally a gentle kiss on Tomie's lips. He responded to her because he couldn't refuse her.
Fu Jiang had long since tossed favorable impression points to the back of his mind. In the following time, she and Baki were the most ordinary lovers or newlyweds. Those lost times and stranded memories made Baki need new memories to fill the emptiness in his heart.
In this way, he once again returned to the kind and warm man in Tomie's impression. He was considerate in every aspect, gentle and careful. It was as if all Tomie could do was to lie in bed and wait for Baki to bring everything he could to Tomie.
His gentleness was more like a kind of debt and remedy, as if he didn't deserve any peaceful and comfortable life at all. Tomie stared at Baki's favorability that had never increased and sighed slightly. It was obviously only a little favorability. But Baki didn't even dare to love her.
He didn't think that he could be loved, so much so that he even felt that he didn't deserve to love.
Even if Steve was no longer an obstacle, Baki still couldn't let go of himself.
And almost all peaceful lives were meant to be broken.
When Tomie finally thought of Wade, two weeks had passed. She kissed Baki goodbye and told him that she promised to help Wade recover his appearance and promised that she would never let herself get hurt.
After getting Baki's approval, Tomie moved in front of Wade. The mercenary had been waiting for her arrival quietly and obediently on the chair.
Tomie didn't say anything. She just nodded gently and then motioned for Wade to take off his clothes and lie on the bed. She would try her best to help all of Wade's skin recover as much as possible.
This was a long process.
Especially for Wade.
Perhaps in the beginning, the mercenary could still talk dirty, tell jokes, test Tomie, and see if he could hear the electronic voice from her. But soon, Wade could no longer make a sound.
He didn't even feel pain in this treatment. But what really tortured the mercenary was watching Tomie cut her wrist again and again for him. Blood splashed out of the blood vessels and kept dripping. Although her recovery speed was as fast as Wade, it didn't mean that Tomie's blood production speed was the same!
Wade could almost see his skin recovering quickly with the naked eye. From his lower abdomen to his shoulders, from his shoulders to his limbs, every inch of his skin recovered accompanied by repeated blood loss from Tomie.
Wade watched as Tomie's face became paler and paler. Even her cherry blossom pink lips had lost their color. Finally, he couldn't help but reach out his hand to grab the knife that Tomie was trying to cut her wrist again.
"Sweetheart, we can actually divide the treatment into a few days, can't we? I actually don't mind waiting for a few more days. After all, Lord Wade's inner charm is more attractive than his handsome appearance. We can really take it slow! "
Tomie's response was to blink. Her smile was even a little naive. "Silly, it hurts. If you don't seize the opportunity, I will regret it. There won't be a next time!"
Wade smiled roguishly. His half-healed cheeks looked a little less ferocious, but they still weren't good looking. They could only be said to be a shadow of their former selves. "That's a shame, but there's nothing we can do about it."
Wade smiled, his eyes gentle. "I'm already very satisfied to be able to recover to this state. You don't have to force yourself. After all, the reason why I want to restore my previous handsome and elegant appearance is to attract you. "
Tomie's eyebrows curved in joy. This smile restored some color to her face, and her eyes became more spirited. "Then you have to work harder. After all, I have never thought that you were handsome and elegant."
As soon as she finished speaking, her fingertips exerted force again, and the knife once again cut open her wrist. Blood almost instantly splattered on Wade's face. He had to blink a few times as his face was covered in blood. Then, Tomie's fingers fell on Wade's cheek.
The mercenary could feel Fu Jiang's delicate hands slowly smearing the blood over every inch of his skin. He could feel Fu Jiang constantly controlling his blood to repair his skin. He could feel her deep, black eyes focused on him as he lay on the sickbed.
This scene shocked Wade so much that he wasn't even sure if all this was a dream that came out of thin air.
After he had done so many terrible things, when the whole world didn't care if there was a mercenary named Wade Wilson who disappeared, the girl he loved was willing to go to such extremes and use half of her blood to save him. Wade heard himself murmuring to himself, "Why did you do this?" He wasn't even sure why he asked this question.
"Is it for my favorability?"
Tomie's fingers paused for a moment, and then continued to drip the blood on Wade's face. Her voice was even calm, and her eyes that looked at Wade did not waver.
"Maybe." Tomie smiled. It was rare that she didn't want to lie. She probably felt that at this point, all lies no longer had any meaning.
"I want love. I can only do it when I'm 100% sure of my love. "
Wade slowly closed his eyes to Tomie's answer. At this moment, he couldn't tell which of Tomie's words was true and which was false. But love wasn't something that could be erased so easily.
Therefore, Wade just smiled bitterly and shook his head. "But obviously, when you get all the love, you go back to find new love. You're so bad."
And Tomie's response was to move her face closer to Wade's side. She blinked her eyes and threw out the last question. "Then do you hate me?"
"… Yes, I hate you."
The mercenary said and closed his eyes. Then both he and Tomie listened to the mechanical voice's indifferent report. [Wade Wilson/Deadpool: Affection.
1. Current affection: 100.]
His lie didn't deceive anyone. Wade smiled bitterly and closed his eyes tightly. He didn't open his eyes to see if the person opposite him was proud or mocking him. He just accepted the fact that he loved Tomie no matter what, but he was angry at the fact that he loved Tomie no matter what.
Then when his cheeks were slightly itchy, all the skin began to heal again, and the girl's fragrance was getting closer and closer.
Wade felt Tomie gently hugging him. Her soft lips gently fell on his lips without any desire, and then like a feather, she gently drifted away.
"Remember what I said to you — I want to kiss you when you're more beautiful."
She was easy and clear, and her smile was gentle. "You look very good now."
Wade's eyelashes trembled for a moment. When he finally sorted out everything in his heart and wanted to face Tomie, the girl had disappeared from this room as abruptly as she came. Would she really stay for love?
When Tomie dragged her tired body back to her little love nest with Baki, Baki was not in the room.
Tomie, who was seeking comfort, pouted unhappily. She clicked on the map and saw something unexpected. Baki was not with her, but with Steve and Tony, who she hadn't seen for a long time, in the old Hydra base in another city.
Uneasiness came almost instantaneously. Tomie clicked on the map for the first time. When she opened her eyes again, she had to force a smile. "Wow, what are you doing?"
Her eyes were fixed on Steve opposite her. Steve silently looked away under Tomie's gaze. Baki, who was standing behind Steve, lowered his head. He looked terrible. The confidence that Tomie had been trying to rebuild for him recently seemed to have been shattered by someone, so that Baki showed such a depressed and gloomy look again.
There was no vitality in his body, and he was depressed and lost.
In the end, Tomie, who couldn't get an answer, looked at Tony, who was confronting them. Iron Man seemed to have changed a lot, but he didn't seem to have changed much. In the face of Tomie's gaze, Tony reluctantly raised the corner of his lips. This tired smile made him look a little old and lost his former vitality.
After Tomie asked her question again, Steve explained to Tomie what happened. Obviously, many of the inside stories were truths that Tomie shouldn't have been exposed to. Whether it was Steve's vague explanation or Tony and Baki's non-cooperation, Tomie quickly felt tired.
She was so tired that she just wanted to lie down. Although her appearance temporarily maintained the confrontation between the three, it didn't solve any problems at all!
Tomie, in extreme fatigue and irritation, finally opened the system and unfolded all the recent events between Steve, Baki, and Tony. Then, she clearly sorted out what happened.
In a mission not long ago, the Avengers caused a large number of civilian casualties. Therefore, the government decided to take this opportunity to promulgate a regulatory system to manage and lead the Avengers. As a result, the Avengers were divided into two sides.
One was the opposition led by Steve, and the other was the support led by Tony.
Even Tomie, who had a weak sense of politics, could feel that something was wrong with this "regulatory system". After all, once the agreement was signed, it meant that the Avengers would completely lose their freedom. This freedom meant that once the government showed "selfishness", then the Avengers would still have to fully cooperate!
They would all be the weapons of the government, a pure weapon without any thoughts, any freedom, and any choice. They would become the "Winter Soldiers" of the US government, and they had to hand over all the superheroes' abilities to the authorities.
But the authorities themselves didn't make people feel safe. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been infiltrated before, and even needed Nick Fury to fake his death to eliminate the Hydra forces that had long been integrated into the organization. And such a wrong decision by the Secretary of State was not the first or second time …
Tomie watched Tony and Stark chase into the old base in the video, but just before Tony was about to soften, one of the survivors of the battle that involved civilians not long ago dropped a bigger bomb between them —
That was the death of Tony Stark's parents.
Baki, who was once used by Hydra as a Winter Soldier, killed Tony's parents with his own hands. The impact of that episode, at the moment when such a contradiction was about to be resolved, was dropped among the three as a more powerful bomb!
Tomie was silent after witnessing all this. She didn't speak, but she could understand the feelings of Tony and Baki.
She even understood Baki's confusion and gloom. At this time, he hadn't recovered all his memories. Even if he watched the video, he couldn't feel any resonance. He couldn't even be sure if he was the person in the video.
But in his heart, he believed that he had caused all the tragedies. He wanted to atone for his sins, but he couldn't refuse Steve who was trying to protect him — Baki was not a person without responsibility. He had never been afraid of death.
He just felt disappointed for himself.
Tony was the first to speak. He turned his face away stiffly. "This has nothing to do with you … Tomie, get out of here."
"I can't." Tomie's response to this was to shake her head apologetically. Then when Tony thought that she was also trying to protect Baki, she shook her head gently. "You know that you are not qualified to judge him, right?"
"The only way to determine whether a person is guilty or not … is a fair, impartial and selfless public trial."
"I don't want to protect Baki unconditionally. I can understand your feelings … but I hope you understand that while you believe that he is guilty, I also believe that Baki is innocent."
"The real guilty are never the swords without reason and freedom, but the people holding the weapons. If you really want to obtain peace of mind through revenge, you will get nothing in the end. "
Tomie gazed deeply at Tony. Then, under Tony's gaze, she took a step forward without hesitation. She stretched out her arms and stood in front of Baki. "He will pay for everything he has done. This is what Baki expects. He has never been afraid of it — but only a trial can do it. Only a fair, impartial and public trial can do it!"
"And no matter what the final verdict is … you cannot have any objections!"
Tony stared at Tomie for a long time. Finally, he retracted his right hand. The particle cannon in Iron Man's palm was extinguished at that moment. However, Tony could no longer look at Tomie with a calm and gentle gaze.
Tony turned his head away with a cold expression.
"Then as you wish."
After saying that, Iron Man quickly moved. The energy cannon propelled him into the sky and he disappeared in an instant.
At that moment, Tomie finally staggered and fell to her knees. Steve immediately embraced Tomie in his arms. However, he immediately froze.
The soldier tightened his grip, but also firmly handed Tomie to Baki behind him. Before leaving, he patted his old friend on the shoulder, as if everything was silent.
They all know that if everything goes according to Tomie's requirements, then this public trial will begin soon. Tony will collect as much evidence as possible about Baki's crimes as a Winter Soldier. This will be a world-shaking lawsuit! And the outcome is obviously not optimistic!
Steve certainly can't sit back and do nothing. What he has to do is to search for evidence that can prove the harm of Hydra, to prove that the Winter Soldier was forced, to prove that Baki's brainwashing and everything that happened when he was a Winter Soldier were not his own will — he will defend Baki!
But no matter what the final result is … there is not much peace left for Tomie and Baki.
Tomie closed her eyes in Baki's arms. She listened to Baki's steady heartbeat and couldn't help but smile: "I hope you don't think I'm acting on my own."
Tomie lowered her head: "But I can feel that you are not happy. You are actually looking forward to being punished, right? "
Baki didn't speak. Just when Tomie thought she wouldn't get any response, the man gently stroked Tomie's black hair with his cold mechanical hand. His voice was low and soft: "Thank you."
Thank you.
Thank you for what? Baki is not sure. But maybe, as Tomie said, he is indeed looking forward to someone to punish him. Instead of pretending that nothing has happened and living a peaceful and happy life on his own — this is obviously too unfair to those who have been hurt by him.
Baki silently tightened his arms around Tomie and slowly walked in the direction of their home. He even couldn't help gently rubbing Tomie's cheek with his slightly stubbled chin. This is Baki's rare initiative of intimacy: "Why is your body temperature lower than before?"
Tomie shook her head and smiled: "If you are in prison, I will visit you regularly." She closed her eyes and imagined: "I will bring a flower to see you, I will reach out through the window to touch you, I will talk to you about the bits and pieces of my life — will you look forward to my arrival?"
"Of course." Baki's eyes were gentle: "Then I will probably make you wait for a long time."
"It doesn't matter." Fu Jiang blinked. "I'll never grow old anyway. No matter when you get out of prison, what you'll see will always be the most beautiful Fu Jiang in the entire world, unchanged."
"Yes." Baki didn't know how moving his smile was at this moment. His voice was so soft as if he was afraid of disturbing someone, with a kind of sincerity and promise that no one could understand: "You will always be the most beautiful."
[Barnes James/Winter Soldier: favorability.
1. Current favorability: 100.]
Tomie smiled and her eyes curved. When the system asked [Ten favorability points have been achieved, do you want to leave the world?], she fondly rubbed against Baki's chest.
That heartbeat was as steady and peaceful as ever, full of hope. Even the sunshine shining on them was gentle and affectionate.
At this moment, what they got was what they were seeking, the prosperity and peace from the heart. As for the result, the result was no longer important.
