Chapter 380: Carefully Prepared
Most people are likely to have this experience - extreme nervousness, heartbeat so fast that it is not strange to jump out of the chest at any moment, sudden changes in blood pressure, restless all day long, and ignoring anyone who comes to talk to them, as if they have completely lost themselves.
And at this moment, Wanda Maximov is in such a state.
Looking back on this life, Wanda Maximov feels as if she has rarely been so nervous since she was born. The only time she remembered her heart rate spike to this level was when she was a child, when a bombing destroyed her and Pietro's home, and then a missile with Stark's name on it lay quietly next to their bed for two days and two nights...... But it was the extreme tension caused by the fear of death, which was completely different from the current state.
And the reason for this is the invitation from Michael's fellow party to the banquet.
For this moment, Wanda is really ready for everything she can think of. She took a day to try out almost all the outfits in her wardrobe that were eye-catching and suitable for formal occasions, and she looked at each outfit in the mirror, and finally always shook her head in dissatisfaction and self-denial.
So she forcibly pulled Pietro to help her counsel. Although Wanda knows that her brother who is gradually becoming homely is not very reliable (even the daily clothing needs to be decided by his sister), but no matter how he is a boy, he can barely represent male aesthetics...... Besides, she doesn't look like she has any other options.
Wanda put on a long red dress and pushed open the door: "How about this?" ”
"It's beautiful." Pyro nodded.
“...... What about this one? ”
"Beautiful." Pietro continued to nod.
“...... What about this one? ”
"It's very pretty."
"Are you really watching?" Wanda was unhappy, "Honestly. ”
"Hmm...... Beautiful? Pietro carefully changed his words.
"Go, go, go." Wanda kicked him out in displeasure, "I don't need your help, it's really useless." ”
Petro was speechless and went away in a huff, muttering something in his mouth.
But what he said was the truth, did he really think Wanda looked good in any outfit......
Wanda spent most of the day in front of the closet, and finally saw that there was not enough time before the party began, and finally had to pick out a dress that looked quite pleasing to the eye.
And then there's the make-up – which is also a big job. When they were in Sokovia, their family didn't have much money, and Wanda naturally didn't have the opportunity to touch luxury goods like cosmetics since she was a child. But after moving to New York, it was different, she received an astronomical salary from Heavenly Sword, and naturally unlocked the hidden attributes in her bones just like a girl of her age should have.
It was barely finished before the banquet began. Wanda looked left and right in the mirror, a handful of red hair in front of her and behind her, always feeling that it was not pleasing to the eye anywhere.
This should ...... Almost, right?
Pietro poked his head out from behind, glanced curiously at her project, and opened his mouth wide......
This...... Who is this???
He always knew that his sister was very good-looking, but even when he got along with Wanda day and night, he had never seen Wanda like this. The smooth muscles and bones like ice jade, the angelic face, and the natural red hair hung down naturally, and the moment he turned his head, it was as if he was carrying a holy light behind him......
Wanda ruffled her hair and looked at him suspiciously, "What?" You don't think this will work, but you can say something......"
"Good...... Pretty. ”
Wanda rolled her eyes: "Forget it, I know that asking you is also in vain." She turned away from Pietro and continued to look in the mirror, muttering to herself, "It should be almost......
The black sedan stopped at the door of the two-person house. Wanda carried her dark red dress and walked down the steps in front of the door step by step. Michael, who was already waiting at the side of the car, reached out and took Wanda's hand.
"It's beautiful." Michael smiled, "Looks like you've put a lot of effort into it?" ”
Great, it seems to be okay.
Wanda's cheeks were slightly red, and she smiled and said, "No, no, it's just a casual preparation." ”
Petro stared vainly. Feel free to prepare...... How do I remember you being in front of a mirror all day?
Eh, no, before that, why did he say "good-looking" even if he was qualified? Why am I not serious and inattentive when I say that...... Forget it, don't dwell on it. As the saying goes, people are more popular than people, and he is also self-aware that he can't compare with the boss.
After all, I'm just a worthless brother, so it seems natural that I can't compare to my boss.
Wanda waved at him: "You can wash and sleep first at night, you don't have to wait for me to come back." ”
"Oh." Petro mechanically stood stiffly in the doorway and waved. He watched Wanda get into the car and quickly disappear down the street.
Pietro returned to the house and sighed softly. Looking back, since the death of their parents, the brother and sister have started a life of dependence and displacement. Later, whether they lived on the streets or joined Hydra for experiments, they were never separated.
Think about how sticky my sister was at that time? Train together, eat together, sleep together...... Well, not really.
How tall was his brother in Wanda's mind (in fact, he didn't)? It's like now, my sister seems to be unpleasant when she sees him every day. Why sleep lazily in the morning, play games all day long, and always forget to wash your hands before meals and don't remember to clean up after eating......
On the other hand, every time my sister mentions Mr. Paso's name, her face can be visibly changed, and her speech has become more normal and completely different, even if she is as dull as Pietro, she can clearly see the problem.
It's a little frustrating to think about it. How to put it, it's like...... It's like someone snatching your favorite toy.
But if you think about it, there's nothing to be unhappy about. No matter how you say it, my sister will have to get married sooner or later, Wanda is in her twenties, and her love experience is still a blank slate, and it may not be good to continue to drag it on. (Someone seems to have deliberately ignored the fact that he is also half a pound and half a sister at this time) and then Mr. Paso is actually quite good, and even just using words like "excellent" to describe him is simply demeaning to him.
And there's more important — no, the most important thing, I should say.
That's ......
...... Wanda is not at home and can finally play games all night!!
All the loss seemed to be swept away in an instant. Pietro swept out all the remaining snack reserves from the cabinet at a speed like the wind, sat on the sofa with large bags of snacks and crossed his legs, hugged the handle and quickly turned on the machine, and played with relish.
