[Comprehensive British and American] After the Raiders

Steve's eyes were slightly reddened by the great emotional ups and downs.

The hypocrisy and resistance between him and Neil are different, and he is very excited that he can still meet his former friends 70 years later.

Steve opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say a thousand words to Neil.

He still remembered what a gloomy and difficult time he had spent when he received the news that Neil had died in battle.

How much he wanted to ask Neil what happened at that time, how he wanted to ask Neil how he spent all these years.

They missed 70 years, he wanted to ask too much, but the last thing he said was "Are you okay?".

Steve's feelings are very sincere and passionate. If they are really just pure friends, then Neil may be moved by it at this moment.

But apparently, they're not.

"Yes, I'm fine." Neil didn't mention the past at all, he held Daisy's hand next to him, and the smile on his face seemed as sincere as Steve's, with a sense of relief that time had passed ,"I am married."

Steve stared blankly at the two hands that were clasped together, time seemed to emphasize its power to him once again, everything is different now, it will make him—and only him— Stayed 70 years ago.

Neil turned a blind eye to the melancholy but forced smile on Steve's face, and turned his head to look into Daisy's eyes, those eyes were so clear, as if he could see her heart through those bright eyes.

"This is my wife, Daisy." But in the clear blue, Neil suddenly felt that he couldn't see anything clearly.

His gaze returned to Steve, the mask still intact.

He looked at his friends on the other side as if across the river of time, with nostalgia but he did not want to cross the river to meet.

"This is my childhood friend, Steve."

Neil returned to the hotel and gave up his plan to stay in New York for two more days.

The shadow of the system seemed to haunt him again, and the feeling that his whole life was being manipulated by others rose again in his heart.

This made Neil feel uncommonly anxious.

But he obviously has to convince his wife first.

"You and Steve haven't seen each other for a long time. I thought you would want to stay for a few more days. Why do you suddenly want to go back early?"

When you open your mouth to tell the first lie, then you should be prepared to tell countless lies for it.

"Our relationship is a bit complicated." There was a sigh in Neil's voice.

Daisy felt something in Neil's sigh. This was the first time Neil showed willingness to talk about his past. She didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"Did something happen?"

Neil hugged Daisy in his arms, resting his chin lightly on the top of her hair, but there was no sound for a long time.

"I am your wife, Neil," Daisy wrapped her hands around Neil's waist, trying to give Neil more comfort and encouragement, "I need you to know that I will always stand by your side , I would like to hear anything from you."

"As long as you are willing to."

It's a very touching line, but it also becomes untrue when it happens in the midst of a deliberate falsehood.

There was a brief silence in the room, and while Daisy waited patiently and firmly, she heard Neil's voice again.

"That was a long time ago, my childhood friend, there was another boy besides Steve."

Yes, that memory was too long for him, so long that even he felt strange to himself in the memory.

That was when he had just been parasitized by the system. His body returned to his youth, and his identity was secretly tampered with by the system, causing a couple to take away the child he thought they had lost. Then, under the influence of the aura of the raider, they met that child. Two Raiders targets.

At that time, the sense of existence of the system was very low, and he knew very little about the system and his own changes.He also didn't pay much attention to the system's inexplicable mission, and he didn't even think about carrying out it at the time.

But as his body gradually grew, the system seemed to grow accordingly, and it appeared more and more frequently, and it began to be able to execute the so-called "punishment", and to brainwash him endlessly when necessary .

So he quickly realized that his resistance and persistence were meaningless in front of the system, which seemed to have endless time, and was ready to use that time to make him submit.

Even after waking up 70 years later, he still seems to be trapped in 70 years ago.

Steve is always reminiscing, reminiscing about his friends Neil and Bucky, reminiscing about their past.

He remembered the first time he and Bucky met Neil.

At that time, Neil was only about eleven or twelve years old, his long black hair was tied into a ponytail, his immature facial features were very delicate and delicate, he looked like a girl.

That was the first time Steve had a crush on someone else.

It was much later, however, that when he was talking to Neil's mother, he caught her referring to Neil as "he".

At that time, he was so shocked that the words "You are a boy!" blurted out in a second.

He even still remembers how sad he was when Neil looked at him with a surprised face and couldn't laugh or cry.

So those good feelings that he didn't have time to express were completely buried in Steve's heart.

The three of them grew up together and became each other's best friends.

But he gradually discovered that Bucky and Neal seemed to be hiding something from him. It was an indescribable feeling. Obviously they were not repelling him, but he felt that between the three of them, Bucky and Neil Er's relationship seems to have become closer than his.

Until that day, he knocked on Bucky's door.

Bucky, who opened the door for him, had messy hair that was still dripping, and he felt refreshed after a shower.He stood inside the door and looked at Steve, but instead of letting him in the first time, he chatted with him at the door.

"I thought you wouldn't be able to get up today in order to finish painting yesterday."

Listening to Bucky talking about his paintings, Steve temporarily put aside the doubts that had just arisen, raised the drawing board in his hand and said with a smile,

"I wouldn't be able to finish this painting without you guys."

The lines on the drawing paper looked the same as yesterday, and they still looked like two blurred figures.They are also two rare people who are willing to help him practice his drawing ability.

"Hey, good morning."

Neil, who appeared behind Bucky, greeted Steve, and he noticed that Neil's now-cropped hair looked a little wet.

"Good morning."

There were no accidents for Steve, who occasionally slept with each other after Neil's parents also died unexpectedly.

Bucky didn't seem to remember letting Steve in until then,

"Shall we have breakfast together?"

Steve looked at Bucky's back as he walked towards the kitchen, and refused, "No, I've already eaten."

He turned his gaze to Neil who was sitting on the sofa, picked up the paintbrush, and smiled, "You seem to be in a good mood today."

Neil's body sank into the sofa, his legs crossed, and his sitting posture was very casual. He just smiled at Steve's words, "Really?"

Steve held the sketch pen and looked at Neil. When he was thinking about how to write the pen later, he could vaguely see a tooth mark from the loose neckline of Neil's clothes. The tooth mark on the shoulder was still glowing red. , it looks like...just bitten into it.

The relaxed expression on Steve's face froze instantly, and he wasn't sure what it meant, but he couldn't ask until he left after scribbling a few strokes in a daze.

After that, he couldn't help but observe the interaction between Neil and Bucky, but they didn't seem to have any strange changes, they still joked like they used to, and they still held each other with their arms like they used to playing around with his neck.

It made Steve wonder if he was thinking too much.
