Alvin personally doesn't have much prejudice against Bucky, but because of Bucky's entanglement with Stark, Alvin has never had a serious conversation with the veteran.

Looking at this handsome veteran, he looked at me with a strange look...

Alvin thought about how this guy and Steve were inseparable. He shuddered slightly, then said hello politely, and wanted to leave quickly...

"Wait, Principal Alvin!"

Bucky was obviously waiting for Alvin. He stepped forward and stopped his principal, and then said with a strange expression: "Principal Alvin, your school still lacks a basketball coach.

I think I should be able to do it!"

Alvin was stunned for a moment, he hesitated, and then motioned for Bucky to follow him...

He said while walking: "I heard that you did a good job in the 'Wolves'. Nelson even wanted to fire that idiot Saul and hire you as an assistant coach under special circumstances.

What's wrong?

You and Steve broke up?"

Bucky was obviously used to this kind of ridicule. He shook his head and said: "What Nelson wants is an illegal worker who does not need insurance.

I worked for the Wolves mainly because Steve went to Nidwenier.

Now that he is back, I will naturally find a job of my own!"

As Bucky looked at the strange expression on Alvin's face, he said helplessly: "Steve and I are always together, just because I don't have legal documents.

Recently a friend of mine got me an ID and I want to buy a house in Hell's Kitchen and find a meaningful job...

This is the first place that accepted me, and if possible, I would like to continue working here.”

Alvin was stunned by Bucky's words, and then he remembered that this man was indeed alone when he came here.

After Stark let him go, the guy went to Africa, and finally returned to Hell's Kitchen when Africa became the outpost of Earth entering hell.

He really has nothing...

Steve was awakened by S.H.I.E.L.D. and was even able to go to the American government to ask for a high pension.

But the murderous Winter Soldier obviously can't do it, even if he was once Lieutenant Bucky Barnes of the Howling Commandos.

In the past, he was controlled by others and did too many bad things...

Now he wants to officially settle down in Hell's Kitchen, and he wants to find a formal job in school...

Alvin walked through the lobby of the teaching building and walked to a position near the door...

Looking at Bucky who had been following him waiting for the answer, he smiled and said: "You should have told Steve about your predicament earlier.

In fact, there are people in our school who can make ‘authentic certificates’.

Tell me who your friends are?

Is Steve okay with you being friends?

I have to consider whether there will be additional risks in hiring you..."

Bucky was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He looked at Alvin's gossipy expression, but he didn't expect that he actually cared about him "making friends behind Steve's back"...

"It's Natasha Nomanov..."

Bucky looked at Alvin's glaring expression and said helplessly: "We have had some interactions recently. She knew my current situation, so she got me an identity document."

Alvin looked the handsome Bucky up and down and said in disbelief: "Are you actually dating Natasha?"

After Bucky heard this, he smiled a little awkwardly and said, "That's right!

There is a bit of misunderstanding between me and her, and I am trying hard to make her forget some of the unpleasantness in the past!"

As Bucky said that he couldn't stand Alvin's weird gaze, he said awkwardly: "Can we talk about work?

The school is short of a basketball coach now, and I think I should be qualified..."

Alvin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can ask Nelson to give you a contract, but it's not a basketball coaching contract.

If those kids themselves don’t dare to tell me about the basketball team, I think it would be a good choice for them to join the ‘Hungry Wolves’.”

Bucky listened, he shook his head and leaned against the wall of the teaching building, with a strange smile on his face, and said: "No one will come to tell you that they love basketball more..."

Because when they feel they are capable, giving up the ‘Hungry Wolves’ would be a betrayal of the school!

Just like I once wanted to be a folk singer, Steve wanted to be a painter...

But when we are needed on the battlefield, we give up our ideals.

We ourselves chose the war, so that the war would not 'choose' more people..."

As he spoke, Bucky seemed to recall something. He lowered his head and looked at his iron arm with a dazed look, and whispered: "Look what the war has changed me into?

There is only one Steve Rogers in the world, but there are millions of Bucky Barnes...

Sometimes I envy Steve because he has a level of faith that I could never have.

He can always defeat those negative emotions easily...

I often wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn't picked up a gun.

It’s a pity that the ‘what if’ in my mind is too vague!”

Bucky's words surprised Alvin. He had not realized that the school's influence on students had reached such a profound level.

So much so that those talented kids are willing to give up their hobbies and adapt to a sport that is not suitable for them.

They regard protecting the school's honor as a form of "loyalty"!

And I was stupidly waiting for those children to prove to me how much I love basketball...

Alvin and the school infected the children here with their "selflessness", and then those children rewarded them with "loyalty"...

Alvin doesn't know whether this is a good thing or not?

He just instinctively felt that this was wrong...

School is just a "stepping stone" for those children to move forward. There is no need for them to give up something to prove their "loyalty", even for honor.

Alvin's original intention of coming here was just to give those children a different life...

Things like honor, fame, praise, etc. are actually not that important in Alvin's heart.

"The right to choose" is the most difficult thing for these children in Hell's Kitchen to obtain in their lives!

Alvin, who had thought clearly, looked at Bucky who was in a state of reminiscence, and said with a smile: "Coach Barnes, I think you should take the time to get a coaching certificate!

This way Nelson will be a little more generous when he pays you..."

As Alvin looked at the surprised Bucky, he smiled and said: "You can't let your 'friend' make a fake coaching certificate for you, that's not allowed.

My school can accept fake identities, but it will never accept fake certificates!"

Bucky nodded in surprise after hearing this, then spread his hands and said a little at a loss: "Do you think you agreed?

What should I do now?

I suddenly felt like I was not ready for anything..."

Alvin looked at Bucky's somewhat flustered expression, and he smiled and said, "You should say 'thank you' to me now!

Then go and prepare a pep talk for your future players!

It's definitely too late this semester, you have nearly 4 months to prepare...

If you are really good for those children, you shouldn't let them down!"

As he said this, Alvin watched little Ginny jump out of the stairs in excitement, and then rushed towards him with a squeaking sound...

Catching his "sweet bomb", Alvin turned to look at Bucky with a smile and said: "If you are free, come to my restaurant in the evening and I will buy you a drink!

You gave me an important reminder, thank you!

If you are willing, I would also like to hear how you picked up Natasha...

That girl is not someone to be trifled with!"

When little Ginny heard her father inviting Bucky to the restaurant as a guest, she put her arms around Alvin's neck and said with a smile: "Dad, can I invite Cathy and the others to our restaurant for hot pot today?"

I told them that I have a big pot in my house that can make people’s mouths burn when they eat it, and they were so envious!”

Alvin squinted his eyes and looked at little Ginny's silly grin. He shook his head in amusement and said, "Cathy wants to help her father, right?

Do you just want to eat hot pot?

It’s the first time my baby has invited a friend to his home, would you like to try something else?”

Little Ginny listened and didn't care that Alvin had seen through her little thoughts...

She didn't seem to hear what Alvin was saying. She happily held Alvin's old face and kissed him hard. Then she twisted her little body to the ground and ran towards the three little girls who had been waiting not far away...

"Cathy, Emma, ​​Lucy...

Come with me to your home!

Dad can treat you to hot pot, and your mouth will feel like it’s on fire after eating it. It’s very interesting!”

Alvin looked at the three little girls who were almost inseparable...
