That same evening

Before it was Pepper's time to get off work, an early set of Mark armor appeared in the living room.

The armor's arm is clearly marked with its model number - Mark 42!

I saw him leaning on the sofa with his legs crossed and motionless, and he had maintained this position for more than an hour.

When Barn came out of the gym and saw this scene, he stepped forward with some curiosity to take a few looks, and shouted a few times, but he didn't see the other party answer.

Thinking that Tony was asleep, Barn directly knocked on the other party's mask.

The next moment, Tony's voice came straight out.

"Barn, don't make a fuss, I'm busy here!"

“？”

He was still wondering, you are sitting here sleeping, and you are busy?

Without waiting for him to ask, Tony seemed to know what he was thinking, and the mask of the Mark42 armor popped open.

It's empty, and there's Tony's easy-to-beat face!

At this time, Barn also remembered that Tony had indeed developed this technology of remote manipulation of the warframe at this time.

Knowing that Tony was still busy in the lab, Barn had no idea of staying any longer.

After a casual turn, he went back to his room to find Mia.

Tony's armor remained motionless, waiting for his dear Pepper to return.

But today he was destined to not be able to wait, and Pepper didn't come back at all because there were so many things to do today.

Barn only found out about this the next day, and when they woke up from sleep, they saw that the armor was still sitting there, and his posture had not changed.

This went on even for another day.

In the evening, Tony's long-awaited Pepper finally returns.

As soon as I got out of the car, Pepper saw the long-eared rabbit doll at the door, which was ridiculously large in size and on the chest, and "Merry Christmas, Pepper" written by Tony himself.

She was immediately stunned, and blinked several times in disbelief before she was sure that she was not dreaming.

Tony's play made him feel a little crying and laughing, and he didn't know what to say!

To be honest, Tony was happy to prepare Christmas presents for her personally, but what is the matter with this gift?

"Hey~"

In the end, all emotions can only turn into a helpless sigh.

Later, when she entered the door, he wanted to apologize for coming back so late, but when he saw the concave steel armor sitting on the sofa, he asked inexplicably:

"What is this? Do you want to wear it in the house too? What's that, Mark 15? ”

Tony, who had already been informed by Pepper, quickly brought the remote controller, and the distant control of the warframe stood up and replied.

"People have to have a little personal hobby!"

Pepper was clearly not very happy with this answer.

"Do you have to wear your hobbies in the living room?"

"You have to get used to the new clothes......"

Tony will always have an excuse, and Pepper's problems can't help but bother him with his poisonous tongue.

Then the two chatted about the "gift" at the door, and it was obvious that Tony was a little proud and proud of his unique gift.

As he spoke, he rubbed his shoulders for a somewhat tired Pepper.

Needless to say, Pepper was obviously taken directly by Tony's combination of gifts, massages and sweet words.

She wanted to give Tony a rewarding kiss, but he refused to open his mask.

"There's no one in there, he's remotely controlled in the basement, and the robot has been sitting here for a day."

At this moment, Barn's voice from the second floor above Pepper's head startled her.

She looked up to look for the voice, and saw where Barn and Mia were sitting drinking tea on the hanging platform on the second floor.

Thinking back to the conversation he had with Tony, Pepper felt his face burn a little panicked.

But at this time, Tony's voice from within the armor next to her voice directly interrupted her thinking.

"Fuck it, damn Barn!"

As he spoke, Tony also controlled the robot and raised his middle finger upstairs.

Pepper on the side also recovered from the previous embarrassment, and walked towards the garage downstairs without saying a word of high heels, looking menacing.

Then Barn tasted the fine tea in front of him with Mia without any guilt, and listened to the conversation between the two from the basement, which was unique!

"You're so bored to a certain extent!"

"I'm sorry"

"Tonight is date night, why don't you wait for me to eat?"

"We're just entertaining you, and I'm just done with some work, so I'll just have something to eat.

I don't know if you'll go home or not, because you might have gone drinking with Aldrich Killian! ”

"What? Adridge Killian, are you spying on me, Tony? ”

"Harpy noticed it."

"No, you're spying on me."

"I didn't!"

......

Tony's words obviously provoked Pepper, and she didn't even want to say anything and went back to bed.

"Are they okay like this?"

Taking a sip of tea, Mia asked with some uncertainty.

"It's okay, you'll find out later."

As soon as Barn's words fell, the words of the two people downstairs happened to take a turn for the better.

Seeing that Pepper was leaving, Tony had no choice but to apologize very sincerely and loudly, and then it was time to confide in him.

When Tony faced his favorite pepper, he finally let go of all his defenses and completely said the psychological pressure he had been under for this time.

Gods, aliens, and other people in other dimensions who died because of this, after the Battle of New York, these things put too much pressure on him.

He's just an ordinary person hiding in steel armor, and the reason why he hasn't collapsed so far is probably because Barn and Mia and Pepper have moved in.

But even so, he still couldn't sleep every night, he wanted to make himself stronger, and the next time danger came, he could protect what he cared about.

All of this is poured out by Tony at this moment, which makes Pepper both heartbroken and happy about his place in Tony's heart.

So she forgot about the "wall has ears" and directly invited Tony to take a shower with her.

Hearing this, Barn also smiled faintly, staring directly at Mia opposite.

His eyes made Mia a little unnatural, and he couldn't help but ask:

"What?"

"I think it's time for us to take a shower and rest!"

After saying that, he didn't drink any more tea, and he didn't even have time to clean up, so he got up and pulled Mia into the room.

......

What happened next, in the words of the ancient literati:

The woman's heart is teeta, and the man's heart is dazed.
