On the surface, it looks like a subconscious reaction after being frightened, but in fact, is this really the case?

The action of Steve Rogers standing forward to block Peggy Carter behind him did not have any other intentions, it was indeed just a subconscious reaction. After all, Peggy Carter held an extremely important position in his heart, and the moment he subconsciously switched to the alert state, the movements he made were not so exaggerated, and belonged to the type that only enhanced defensiveness but was not aggressive.

In contrast to Nick Fury, his reaction is not so natural.

You know, he is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., not a combatant who works on the front line all year round. According to his usual habits, when encountering unknown changes, his first reaction should be to remain calm and stand still, while carefully observing the other party, while quickly thinking about how to respond with words. Instead of drawing a gun to deal with a slight change like those combatants who have been on the front line all year round.

What's more, this is at Shi Xiaolei's house. With the strength of their family, there is no need to worry about the sudden intrusion of people with malicious intentions.

Others will ignore this point, but it can be replaced by Nick Fury, but he will definitely not forget this key point. After all, he is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he has experienced countless situations where he needs to come forward to control the field. If he doesn't even have this little memory, it is impossible for him to accumulate so much credit in his previous work and get the current position of director .

Therefore, Nick Fury's gun-drawn guard actually still has a bit of a tentative element.

On the one hand, he wanted to judge the weight of the Inhuman Race in his heart through Shi Xiaolei's reaction. On the other hand, he also wanted to come up with some reasons so that he could approach the Inhumans without suspicion.

"Sorry, I overreacted just now." No, taking the opportunity of apologizing, Nick Fury came to Jia Ying, who led the team.

"I hope a similar situation won't happen again next time." Jia Ying nodded gently, accepting Nick Fury's apology: "Director Fury, long time no see."

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for a while." Nick Fury smiled: "How are you doing recently? By the way, Ms. Jia Ying, have you considered the suggestion I made last time?"

Wanting to hook up with the Inhumans is not a matter of a day or two.

The reason why she had to find an excuse to get close was because Jia Ying had rejected Nick Fury's proposal more than once... Well, if it was just a simple rejection, it would be fine. Parted badly. Therefore, out of the intention of avoiding embarrassment, Nick Fury took the opportunity to make the scene just now, and found a convenient excuse for himself to talk.

"No, you know I won't say yes."

"Is it because the conditions I proposed are not good enough? If you are not satisfied, you can say it..."

The US team was not the only one accompanying Peggy Carter, Coulson was also there.

Well, it was mainly because the atmosphere at the scene was quite casual. I felt that if I had to stay by Peggy Carter's side, it would be too deliberate. Coupled with the guise created just now as a cover, my behavior will not appear very abrupt...

A short distance away from Peggy Carter, Nick Fury temporarily focused on Jia Ying.

"Hi, Locke!" While Jia Ying was busy dealing with Nick Fury, several other Inhumans who came with her...to be exact, the others except Gordon came to Shi Xiaolei together in front of.

"Hi, Lincoln." He raised his hand to say hello to Lincoln Campbell, the discharge boy, and Shi Xiaolei turned to look at the other three: "Skye, Poirot, Vermara, welcome."

"Hi, boss." Among the few people, the one who has the closest relationship with Shi Xiaolei is of course the girl Skye. Responding with a smile, she untied a backpack from her back, opened the zipper and took out a small cloth bag: "Here, this is our congratulatory gift."

"Congratulatory gift?" Without reaching out to take it, Shi Xiaolei confirmed first: "To celebrate the baby's 100th day? Or to celebrate my adoption of a goddaughter?"

"It's for the baby." Skye smiled mischievously: "Let's forget about yours. Anyway, you are so rich, you don't need our share."

"You." Maybe it's because the ponytail highlights the smoothness of the forehead, which is easier to attract attention, Shi Xiaolei subconsciously stretched out his finger, and poked Skye's forehead: "Put it away first, for a while Go to Tony’s side, and then take it out and give it to him or Pepper. Since you prepared it, it’s better for you to send it out yourself.”

"Okay then." After thinking about it, it made sense, Skye stuffed the small cloth bag back again: "What about the gift money? Are you collecting it?"

"Gift money? What kind of gift money?"

"What my mother said~lightnovelpub.net~ Holding the backpack, she pouted at Jia Ying who hadn't gotten rid of Nick Fury. When you go to a wedding banquet with your identity, you must bring a gift. "

Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei suddenly had an illusion in his heart.

It seems that the Skye in front of him is from Huaguo, but he who was born in Huaguo has become a European and American.

Very weird and very funny.

Shi Xiaolei couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, you guys are quite thoughtful."

"That is." Skye raised his head, smiled smugly, and wrinkled his nose proudly.

Two or three years have passed, Skye is no longer the thin and small person she was when we first met, she is now a real big girl.

But in front of Shi Xiaolei who is more than two meters tall, she still looks very petite.

He didn't feel much about the change in height difference, and he didn't realize that Skye was already a big girl who was not much shorter than her mother. Seeing her cute winking expression now, Shi Xiaolei couldn't hold back, and raised his hand to touch it again. Touching her head: "There is no need to prepare another gift money, just a present is enough."

"Eh?"

"Following gifts is a custom in China. This is the country of America, so it's not popular." After a pause, Shi Xiaolei smiled again: "And you know Tony's character. He will be very happy to give other gifts If you just give money, hehe...'Do you think I owe you this gift money? Are you insulting me?', even if he didn't say it, he would most likely think so in his heart. "

Although there is a big gap in height and completely different looks, the aura Shi Xiaolei imitated is 80-90% similar to Stark himself, which can be called lifelike.

"puff."
