Chapter 229
The scale of this dance is a bit small.
Howard and Carl had done their best to make the room look big enough for the dance, but no matter how well thought out they were, they couldn't hide an embarrassing fact.
The dance scene is too small, no matter how well-equipped, the people present at the scene are not petite after all.
The height of men is more than 1.8 meters, and the height of women is not less than 1.7 meters.
Hospital rooms have fixed standards. The original size of this room can only accommodate at most one or two couples of men and women dancing together. After a little trimming and decoration, the people who can dance become a couple. Who is self-evident.
Steve walked out of the ward with Peggy in his arms.
He should have smiled happily, but the body in his arms was like a limp corpse, so it was hard to show any sincere joy on his face.
Tony, Bruce, Carl, and Lex stood in the hallway leading from the ward to the prom room. Tony put his hands on his chest and whistled, and said, "I've never seen you dressed like this, Aunt Paige— —what you see in the photo doesn’t count.”
"Nonsense 'Auntie'," Carl said, "Sister Pearl."
"When you see a good-looking woman, you call her sister," Tony said with an unbearable expression on his face, "but they just eat your way... What kind of world is this? A handsome and rich mature man like me is no longer the mainstream of popularity. ?"
"I wish you could look in the mirror when you're talking, and see what aspect of that face in the mirror deserves the word 'mature'," Bruce said.
He turned his head, glanced lightly at Peggy's bare instep, and then raised the wine glass in Peggy's hand as if he hadn't noticed anything.
"Long time no see, ma'am." He said softly, his deep blue eyes were like the moonlit night sky, "you are younger than before."
He seems to have no intention of attracting people's attention, and it seems that he is just showing off his seductiveness all the time, so that he can't make a face, even if he is sincerely saying hello to people, it still makes people want to indulge in him.
Paige looked at him, resting her head on Steve's arm to make herself more comfortable or for some reason.
"Good evening, young man." She said with a smile, and after looking at him briefly, she turned her attention to Carl.
When Steve just walked out of the ward, she noticed that Carl was holding Lex, tilting his head, talking affectionately in the latter's ear.
Judging from the visual effect, this scene is undoubtedly very harmonious. Lex is slightly shorter than Carl, and obviously much slender than Carl, so this action full of sense of possession and aggression is extremely pleasing to the eye.
It's also half-armed, when Carl holds Steve, people think they are brothers, and when Carl holds Lex, people will know that they are a pair of lovers.
"You don't seem to talk much today," Carl said in Lex's ear. "Tell me why, Lexi."
"You're not the same today as usual." Lex replied flatly, "Tell me why, honey."
"Don't you like me like this?"
"I don't like it," Lex said. "You're making me a little nervous now, you know, and I don't like things out of my control."
"I made you feel like I was out of your control?"
"...I don't know either." Lex gave such an answer.
He said that Karl's performance today was different from usual, but his attitude was obviously different from usual.
How could he usually talk to Carl in this tone?Judging by normal standards, his tone will also appear very cold, not to mention that he usually uses a soft tone when talking to Carl.
"Love is not controlling, Lexi." Carl sighed softly. "Love is not rage, hate and hurt. Look at them, Steve and Peggy, I bet they would never hurt each other, no matter Whatever happens, they're not going to raise their arms at each other."
"You can't generalize things, honey," Lex said.
Then Steve hugged Peggy and walked in front of the two of them. Peggy didn't say anything, let alone did any tricks to remind Steve, but Steve seemed to know what Peggy was thinking. It stopped right in front of Carl and Lex.
"Long time no see," Peggy's eyes fell on Carl with a smile, "These are all good things you did, little rascal?"
"I can almost give me all the credit for the good things that happened tonight, with one exception." Carl winked at her. "I won't forget to give Steve the dancing shoes I prepared a long time ago."
Peggy was taken aback, then leaned against Steve and laughed.
They didn't speak much, and although Paige seemed engaged, time was too precious to her to be wasted on anyone but Steve.Their figures disappeared at the door of the room, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
Tony and Bruce breathed a sigh of relief, rejoicing in their hearts that everything went very well today, so good that it was a little abnormal.
Although the operation was calculated and tested without any actual combat, it was very successful. The exoskeleton armor prepared by Tony and Peggy's flesh and blood did not produce any rejection reaction. All kinds of internal organs and physiological functions are functioning normally, and the medicine Bruce injected into Peggy made Peggy endure the operation process far beyond her ability to bear, and also allowed her wounds to heal perfectly.
The three links are easy to say, but in practice they cannot be more complicated. The person performing the operation is still a guy who has never cooperated before today, and even doesn't like each other so much.
Now Paige is medically singular.
But Lex sighed for a different reason than Tony and Bruce.
Frankly speaking, he didn't pay much attention to Peggy's situation during the operation. After the nanobots were successfully produced, he only needed to inject them into Peggy's body. This was one reason why he didn't have to worry about other things. He was thinking Something else is another reason.
"You won't forget to give the captain the dancing shoes you prepared a long time ago, but the captain didn't have any dancing shoes." Lex laughed, "Under normal circumstances, listeners will follow your words and think that The pair of dancing shoes were thrown away on purpose by Steve, but in fact, you said that on purpose to mislead her."
"You don't forget, it's true, you just didn't intend to give those shoes to the captain at all."
"Yeah." Carl readily admitted.
"If this is your usual style of speaking, then maybe you really never lied to anyone." Lex nodded.
He thought about the words Carl had said to him in the past, the trivial things, the sweet words he swore, and thinking about it, he actually laughed out loud.
"It's so clever, Honey." He praised sincerely.
Their movements were not small, at least Tony and Bruce knew they were whispering, but their movements were very small, because no one could tell that they were arguing just from their expressions and body movements.
—if that counts as a quarrel.
Carl's hand is still on Lex's shoulder, and most of Lex's body is still in Carl's arms. Both of them are calm about their state, as if they don't feel that they are still glued together in this context. something is wrong.
They really don't think there's anything wrong with that.
In their hearts, each other is their own property, so the contradictions, disputes, and small problems that they did not reach an agreement are nothing; they both firmly believe that things will be properly resolved, and if they are not properly solution to...
If the situation escalates to the point of no return...
No, there is no if.
I won't let that happen, they all thought calmly in their hearts at the moment.
But the difference is that when Carl thought this way, his heart was very calm, but in Lex, he felt his blood rushing up, like an extinct volcano resurrected in his heart and lungs, and he couldn't tell whether it was his blood or the hot lava .
Carl led Lex into the corner again, and Tony and Bruce noticed it. They glanced at the corner Carl had chosen, noticed the posture of Carl and Lex, and they silently looked back.
This time, the two of them learned the lesson from last time. Not only did they not get close to Carl and Lex, but they also deliberately changed their stance, and started chatting with the person on the opposite side who was in the same situation as them.
"I didn't expect your exoskeleton armor to be so successful." Bruce praised Tony.
The compliments from people who have always been uncomfortable with him made Tony very proud: "Stark never makes useless inferior products, and this time is no exception. What did you think I was going to make? What is the exoskeleton armor? Then Something that can be bought everywhere?"
"No." Bruce said sincerely, "I didn't think much about your exoskeleton armor. Anyway, your talent is worthy of recognition. I just thought you would screw everything up."
The triumphant expression froze on his face, and Tony became expressionless in an instant:
"It's no wonder that I was almost kicked out of Stark Industries for my speech-unbelievable, isn't it? It's as unbelievable as Wayne Group kicked you out. I, a Stark, was almost kicked out The company founded by my father was wiped out! I probably contracted the talks of the people of New York for half a year."
"It's not that serious. We all help, don't we? This crisis has helped you gain a firm foothold in Stark Industries. If I didn't know who you are, I would have thought it was your plan " Bruce said again, "And such a small matter can't be contracted for half a year. Half a month at most, I guess."
"...you're just trying to get in trouble with me, aren't you, Wayne?"
"Where." Bruce smiled, "Superman's popularity has stabilized, and you know who the person who has contracted the world's chatter recently."
