Cemetery.
Natasha stood far away from the car and didn't come over.
Xia Zhiye placed the white flower in her hand in front of the tombstone and looked at the photo on the tombstone with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"You're angry... You should be angry too."
Xia Zhiye wiped away the sadness and smiled gently: "After all, I came here, but never came to see you. If it were me, I would be angry. But... well, Westerners talk about heaven, but if you go to heaven, you should know the truth. I am not the person you think I am. If he is there, please ask for me. At least, in that war-torn era, I was using his identity..."
"I went to see Carter."
Xia Zhiye lowered his head and looked at his feet: "She is doing well. She has become a kind and amiable old lady. The female agent who could kick people with a sweeping kick is now old. The knife of time kills people without mercy, better than countless agents... She hopes that I can join S.H.I.E.L.D., saying that S.H.I.E.L.D. is like a dark and dirty sack. She wants me to help make S.H.I.E.L.D. clean... But I refused. She was a little disappointed, but did not blame me. She said that she didn't intend to disturb me because I have paid enough."
"Hey..."
Xia Zhiye looked a little confused: "If a person dies, will he forget all the pain? And all the sadness, all the happiness, or sadness will fall on the living? She said that there is no need to see her again. Since you have chosen the path you want to take, you should go on firmly. She said she is willing to support me... What do you think?"
"I think she's right... Now that we've found it, let's go ahead."
Xia Zhiye stood up, his eyes brightening, and he said softly, "Well, what will the future be like? Are you looking forward to it? I never looked forward to it before, because the future I saw was not exciting enough, but now... well, I'm suddenly looking forward to it!"
…
…
As the car drove along the streets of New York, Natasha occasionally peeked at Summer Night in the rearview mirror.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you always dodging? Are you a little girl?"
Feeling the other person's gaze, Xia Zhiye was a little speechless.
"That's very disrespectful of a woman."
After Natasha finished speaking, she was silent for a long time before she spoke: "She found me a long time ago. It is said that it was guided by you."
Xia Zhiye thought about it and laughed: "Before the last mission, I left her a message. In fact, what I wanted to say most at that time was, find a good man and marry him, we are not suitable."
"Too cruel."
Natasha frowned and looked back at Xia Zhiye: "Have you not learned any of the oriental euphemisms?"
"So this is just for fun."
"…" Natasha said expressionlessly: "This is not funny."
Xia Zhiye shrugged and said, "Considering the uncertainty of the mission at that time, I gave her some advice and hoped that she would find you. I think you should be able to help her."
"That's the problem. Why did you give two time points? Moreover, they are so far apart from each other."
"Want to know?"
Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "This may be a secret I will take into my coffin."
"So, there is a price to pay?" Natasha frowned: "What can I pay?"
"You can't pay anything..." Xia Zhiye looked out the window and said with a smile: "Although you are beautiful, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in you."
"… There is a phrase that can't be more appropriate to describe you." Natasha's face turned a little dark: "Feel good about yourself!"
"No, you are wrong!"
Xia Zhiye said seriously: "I feel that I am... excellent!"
"… "
Natasha felt that talking to this guy really required a certain level of mental cultivation, otherwise it would be easy to get angry to death.
"Haha, just kidding." Xia Zhiye said, "Don't be too nervous. Today means a lot to me."
"Why?"
"Because..." Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "I don't want to tell you."
"… "
Natasha clenched her fists and wanted to kill someone!
In fact, Natasha was not the only one who wanted to kill people, because at this moment, a bullet penetrated Natasha's car window at an extremely fast speed, and then went straight to Xia Zhiye's temple!
But just as it was about to hit, a hand quietly and silently grabbed the bullet.
Natasha's expression suddenly changed. She drove towards the roadside and rushed onto the sidewalk. She parked the car in front of a building. She ignored the chaos of pedestrians on the street and looked back at Xia Zhiye: "Are you okay?"
"What do you think?"
Xia Zhiye played with the bullets in his hand.
"Judging from the power... it's probably a Barrett, but because the bullet is specially made, it has stronger penetration... It's heading southeast, at least a thousand meters away. There's no need to go over there. If we miss, it must have escaped."
Xia Zhiye gently tossed the bullet up and down: "I thought they would wait for a while..."
"Do you know who it is?"
Natasha's expression changed.
Xia Zhiye smiled and said, “Drive, don’t take it too seriously, go find Steve.”
“… I’m not a driver!”
Natasha emphasized: "Besides, are you sure that in this case..."
"It's just what I expected." Xia Zhiye stretched out his arms and shook his hands. His palms were a little numb after receiving the bullet just now.
Natasha was confused when she heard this. She looked at the bullet in his hand with a serious expression and said, "Leave it to me?"
"No… "
Xia Zhiye smiled and said, "This is something I need to deal with myself. It has nothing to do with you... or what you represent."
Natasha didn't say anything else. She looked at Xia Zhiye deeply and started the car again.
…
…
In a bar room with a relaxing atmosphere.
Xia Zhiye and Steve sat at the two ends of the table. Natasha did not leave, but sat on the other side, looking at Xia Zhiye and then at Steve.
Steve played with the 'little gift' that Xia Zhiye brought, and finally put it on the table: "Someone wants to kill you!"
“That’s a great summary.”
Summer Night smiled.
Natasha’s eyes are rolling so much that they’re about to take off. Is there even any need to summarize this
It's obvious... and what they said is not a summary, okay
"Who is it?" Steve asked Xia Ye.
Natasha also looked at Xia Zhiye. The reason why she didn't choose to go back to rest, didn't go to Fury to report, but followed the two men to the bar to fool around was because she also wanted to know this. (To be continued)
