Late at night, on a quiet road, a black Audi traveling at high speed suddenly stopped on the side of the road.

Tony was holding the steering wheel, having an inexplicable heart palpitations, and he was breathing heavily uncontrollably.

"What's wrong with the power supply?" Tony was a little excited.

"This is my battle suit, I can't... God, here we go again..." Tony pushed open the car door and collapsed on the ground.

This is not the first time this symptom has occurred.

When he learned that the suit couldn't be used, a kind of panic invaded him uncontrollably.

Anxiety neurosis! Referred to as anxiety disorder!

This symptom has appeared since the Chitauri war.

Unknown threats make Tony feel insecure all the time.

As long as there is any sign of something wrong, even just mentioning Chitauri, New York, Tony, it will happen.

Now, he is going to Miami to find the Mandarin who destroyed his villa, but is told that the armor may not be activated.

Panic struck instantly, and Tony felt difficulty breathing.

"Tony?" came the voice of the child Harry on the other end of the phone.

"Did you have another attack? I didn't mention New York!"

Tony stared and breathed even more rapidly! "Yes, you just said it!"

"You said you brought it up when you didn't mention it!"

"Uh... okay..." Harry was a little embarrassed.

"Oh my god" Tony gasped violently, his brain a little dizzy. "What should I do?"

"Take a deep breath! Tony, take a deep breath!" Harry tried to guide Tony to relieve the symptoms.

"You're a mechanic, right!"

"Yes! I'm a mechanic..." Tony replied breathlessly, as he had said when introducing him to the little kid.

Harry's voice came again. "Then why don't you make something?"

This sentence made Tony stunned for a moment, and then his heart moved.

That's right! He calls himself a mechanic and is proficient in mechanical production.

Seemingly an ordinary hardware tool store, Tony can combine countless weapons!

Even without the armor, he is not helpless to fight back.

Why not build something to counter Mandarin?

Thinking this way, Tony's symptoms gradually eased, his inexplicable panic gradually eased, and his breathing became calmer.

Tony nodded, his tone regained some calmness. "Yes, I am a mechanic, maybe I should build something..."

But the next second, looking at the black figure flying from a distance, Tony suddenly had other ideas!

"OK, thanks a lot, little brat."

"Maybe I have a better way! Let's talk next time!"

After saying that, Tony cut off the communication, leaving Harry on the other end of the phone confused.

"A better way? What is he talking about?"

Harry glanced at Mark 42 who was charging.

"JARVIS, do you know what he is talking about?"

"Um... I don't know..."

Lin Feng was wearing a black battle suit and landed in front of Tony.

He saw Tony having an attack from a distance, and felt a little confused.

With his presence, Chitauri's invasion was almost resolved with minimal cost. There was no nuclear bomb, and Tony did not fly out of the wormhole. How could he still suffer from anxiety disorder?

"Hey, Tony!" Lin Feng suppressed the doubts in his heart and prepared to make some innuendo.

"Christmas, if you don't have a party with Pepper, why are you going to this wilderness by yourself?"

After looking at Tony's miserable appearance from top to bottom, Lin Feng said in a very joking tone, "Is it possible that Pepper is angry again? I won't even let you sleep on the sofa?"

After deliberately throwing out two sentences, Tony instantly forgot about the embarrassment just now.

"Yes, yes."

"Pepper didn't like my Christmas gift, so he kicked me out of the house."

"As you can see, I can only run to this wilderness now..."

There have been so many worrying things lately that Tony is too lazy to talk to Lin Feng.

"What did you give? That oversized bear rabbit?" Lin Feng asked. He remembered that in the original novel, Tony gave a big, tall, ridiculously bear-like stuffed rabbit.

This moment made Pepper Potts very speechless. Did Tony think she was too young?

Tony was instantly confused. "How do you know?"

The handsome boy is speechless. It's really that big bear rabbit. Who would like this ghost thing? Except Tony!

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, I saw the news!" Lin Feng said, "Your house was destroyed! And something else popped up...Mandarin?"

"You are also a talent, you directly announced your address to the whole world!"

Hearing this, Tony sighed. Of course he knew that he was in the news, and his information was published in the newspapers.

"I feel a little regretful now. The news is almost giving me a funeral party!"

"It's not a big problem, just don't be so impulsive next time!"

Lin Feng smacked his lips. He also knew that Tony had a lot of troubles recently, and most of them were caused by anxiety attacks.

After thinking about it, Lin Feng took out two small square boxes from the system space.

He bought this on the way here.

He handed one of them to Tony: "Here!"

Tony subconsciously took it.

"What is this? A Christmas present?"

With that said, Tony opened the box.

After seeing clearly what was in the box, Tony smiled.

It's cheeseburger!

"Well... this is probably the best gift I've received Christmas this year!"

After saying that, Tony sat on the floor again and ate the burger in his hand.

Lin Feng was not a pretentious person. He sat down next to Tony with a burger, started eating, and then asked his question somewhat casually, "Tell me, how did you suffer from anxiety?"

Hearing Lin Feng's question, Tony paused while eating his hamburger. "How come you know everything?"

"Hi..." Lin Feng didn't answer, just stared at Tony, eating a burger.

The two of them just sat on the ground eating, Lin Feng looked at Tony, waiting for him to speak.

The silence was long and uncomfortable.

After a while, Tony felt uncomfortable looking at him, and the burger in his hand no longer tasted good.

"Okay, okay..." Tony took a deep breath. He didn't intend to say it. After all, it was a bit embarrassing...

"I don't know what to say..."

"You may not know that the last time New York fought..."

"It's that alien bastard named Chitauri..." Tony stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Although I don't want to admit it, he left a deep impression on me..."

Tony had a complicated expression. He calmed down and continued to talk...

"Lin Feng, you know I don't have your inhuman strength. I don't even know if my armor can withstand the next invasion!"

"What should we do if one day they come back and you're not around?"

"I'm a little... well I don't want to admit it, it's a bit embarrassing..."

"I feel fear..."

After saying that, Tony took a deep breath and seemed to relax.

He only mentioned these words in a few words in front of Pepper.

Saying it to Lin Feng now makes me feel relaxed.

There is no shame in sharing your fears with your Superman friends...

Lin Feng nodded seriously, no joke Tony.

If Lin Feng didn't have this Superman template, he would also be afraid of it.

After thinking for a while, Lin Feng said a "wise saying"

"I can understand what you said. There is a saying that is good."

"All fear comes from insufficient firepower!"

"The way you look now looks like you are suffering from a lack of firepower!"

Seeing Lin Feng's serious look, Tony was stunned and thought about what Lin Feng said.

What he said makes sense...

"The watch is good, it suits you very well..." Lin Feng joked, breaking away from this heavy topic.

Tony is wearing a children's watch on his hand, which was given to him by the little kid Harry!

"Seriously, Tony, do you need my help this time?"

"You know, I can easily solve that... what Mandarin!"

Lin Feng did not choose to directly help Tony.

Tony is arrogant and has a strong self-esteem. The so-called "Mandarin" belongs to Tony.

He respects Tony as a friend, and if Tony really needs it, he will speak up!
