CHAPTER XXIII

(Click, collection, recommendation, dissemination, all kinds of support (^_^))

At four o'clock in the afternoon, it was not a meal, but there were unexpectedly many people in this Chinese restaurant. The reason is simple, there was a guest who came here an hour ago and sat by the window. The man ordered seven or eight dishes in one go, and then he buried his head in eating and eating. When the previous one was almost finished, he ordered a few more dishes, and then he has been eating until now. From the owner to the waiter, everyone in the restaurant was worried about whether the person would run away from the order, but people passing by outside the restaurant thought that the food in the restaurant was delicious, so they came in and walked in. Many of them tried Chinese food for the first time and found that it was unexpectedly delicious, so they quickly posted on Twitter, had to die, etc., and called friends. There must be a lot of people on the way to this restaurant right now, and there must be people who have decided to make this restaurant the place for dinner today.

Seeing this situation, the boss was happy and a little entangled at the same time. Forget it, for the sake of pulling so much business for himself, even if that person evades the bill, he won't be held accountable, so let him be.

The restaurateur was thinking a little far ahead. The man wasn't some ex-prisoner who had just been released, he hadn't just returned from wandering in the Rocky Mountains, and he hadn't planned to escape. If anything, it's that he had a fierce battle and a very realistic nightmare. That's probably why he's so hungry.

Grant also felt that something was wrong with his condition. When he was still in S.H.I.E.L.D., he didn't experience more intense battles. The last time I faced the Winter Soldier, it wasn't far from this time. It's just that he'd never starved like this before, was it a nightmare - or was it a problem with the Rubik's Cube of the universe? Is this a side effect?

The man sitting across from him didn't think as much.

"What time is this? Twelve or thirteen? ”

The Asian-American face and big glasses were still the same woman.

Originally, Grant was going to have a good talk with this woman. He felt that the place knew too much about his affairs, and it was a little unreasonable. Just as he was about to speak, his stomach rumbled, and then an unusually strong hunger pang emerged. In desperation, he could only press his plan first, get on the minivan, and let the other party take him to fill his stomach.

Along the way, the woman was still very excited, and she didn't ask some strange questions. Even if Grant spoke perfunctorily because she was thinking about things, she didn't feel frustrated. It's really like a little girl facing an idol.

It seems that she really thinks of Grant as a superhero.

"It's because of your superpowers, right? Hmm, that blue energy, is that why you're so hungry? ”

It was still a whisper of excitement. Speaking of this, the woman's face suddenly changed. She immediately took out her purse, opened it and looked inside, and then said nervously, "You can't just eat desperately when you hear me say that I pay for this meal, right?" Forget it, otherwise it will be embarrassing later. ”

At this time, Grant happened to eat about the same time, and he thought about it. When he came back to his senses, he almost choked on the woman's words.

"Oh, someone said invite me to dinner!"

Grant found the woman more and more interesting, so he decided to tease the other party: "Maybe you said it before but I didn't pay attention, but now I hear it clearly." Why, though? I know I'm pretty handsome, but not enough for a beautiful woman to take the initiative. Did you really get caught up in me at first sight? ”

"What? No, of course not! ”

Listening to Grant's words, the woman looked a little panicked. She glanced at Grant, then quickly lowered her head and staggered. Then while pinching the wallet in his hand, he said hesitantly: "This, isn't this lost your phone." I can't afford to pay it back for the time being...... So, I'm going to treat you to a meal as compensation. I know that phone must not be simple, but, but I also saved you. I think I can get it even......"

Grant realized that his phone was gone, but he didn't care. It was newly bought, there was nothing special in it, and there was no special use, it was purely used to play games these days to kill time, and it would not be too much of a pity to lose it. But it was the woman's words that made him cry and laugh.

However, this woman is too cute.

"What's your name?"

The woman froze for a moment and looked up at Grant's face. After noticing his serious expression, her momentum weakened.

“skye。 My name is 'Skye'. ”

"That's the name?" Grant frowned, "What about the last name?" ”

"There are no surnames, only 'Skye'. I started it myself. I...... I've never met my parents. ”

Originally, seeing that the other party was so cute that he fouled, Grant wanted to adjust it again. After a few words, I can only stop now.

"I'm sorry."

"It doesn't need to be like this, I've gotten used to it all these years."

The woman, well, Skye, laughed at this point, and it seemed to be poignant. After cheering up, Skye also asked Grant, "What about you?" Mr. Superhero. What should I call you? ”

"'Grant Lee,' that's my name."

Grant responded with a smile, but it didn't quite satisfy Skye.

"That's it?"

Skye's tone was full of surprise, and at the same time there was a hint of unpleasantness. She probably thought Grant was hiding something. "I mean, shouldn't you have a nickname or something? The catchy kind. Like Steve Rogers, he has 'Captain America'. At that time, his subordinates also had the nickname 'Roaring Commando'. Even on the evil side, there are 'Red Skulls' and so on. Don't you have one of the same? ”

Shaking his head with a smile, Grant said, "Not really, why don't you get one for me?" ”

Skye burst into intense enthusiasm.

"No problem!"

After saying this excitedly, one by one nicknames came out of her mouth, "How about 'Blu-ray (Blue_Light)'?" No, it's too ordinary. 'Blue Spark'? No, the 'spark' is not very appropriate, it is a blue energy that can be solidified and transformed. Or try the 'Blue Shield'? Well, that's too limiting. I think ......"

"Wait!"

I didn't expect that a casual sentence I said could make the other party so excited. Seeing Skye "talking to herself" in a hurry, Grant could only interrupt her, and then asked the question he wanted to know the most: "Have you ever seen me release blue energy?" Where is it? ”

Skye wasn't satisfied.

You didn't give me a nickname, and now you're interrupting me!

Little emotions come and go as quickly as they come, Skye ponders for a moment, and then replies, "I first noticed you the night before yesterday. That's when you were holding a girl and landing from the sky. At the time, I was just curious about the identity of a person with a flying bicycle. First of all, I didn't follow you, I just paid a little attention to your movements. By the time I got to the park, I found you besieged by the bad guys. Then, I saw you release a stream of blue glittering energy from the palm of your hand, forming a shield to block all bullets. Wow, that's so cool. Cooler than Team America! ”
