Can you retire today?

Louise looked at Clark who was frowning and didn't know what he was thinking, and stretched out her hand to pull him, "Come back to your senses, small town boy."

"Huh?... Louise?" Clark looked at his partner in confusion.

Louise has gotten used to Clark being absent from time to time. If it weren't for the other party's excellent writing and unique writing perspective, just because of his distracted attitude from time to time, Planet Daily would not have hired him." There's no one around Bruce Wayne right now, let's go now."

Clark took a closer look and found that there was no one around Bruce now.

After a dance with Diana, they exchanged contact details and parted ways.

Holding a glass of wine, Bruce sat on the sofa next to him for rest and conversation.

Diana's eyes when she was about to leave were almost the same as those in another world. They all regarded herself as a little boy, and it seemed that she could give up completely.

In fact, he was already prepared in his heart, and he didn't expect too much. After all, he liked Diana from another world.The active approach this time has more ideas to prepare for the establishment of the Justice League in the future.

"Okay." There was a little joy in Clark's voice, he looked at Louise eagerly, wishing he could fly over with her in his arms.

Louise gave him a strange look, not understanding why he suddenly became excited.

They walked towards the direction of Bruce together, and when they were about to arrive, Louise couldn't help but want to take out the mirror and take a look.

Since it was a public place, she asked Clark in a low voice, "How do I look now?"

Clark didn't understand what happened to Louise, but he took a closer look, "You look fine now."

Hearing this, Louise was relieved, and walked towards Bruce with her head held high.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wayne, hello. I'm Louise Lane from the Daily Planet, and this is my partner Clark Kent." After finishing speaking, she held out her hand to Bruce, "I don't know if you have time Do you want a quick interview?"

Bruce raised his head, glanced to the side subconsciously, and then turned his gaze to Louise, "Of course there is time."

He stretched out his hand and gently shook Louise's outstretched hand.

Then he felt a gaze staring at him closely from the opposite side, and he knew who it was without thinking about it.

It seems that Clark has fallen in love with Louise now, and he is jealous even when he shakes hands with her, which is really destined.

He let go of Louise's hand tactfully, then pointed to the sofa opposite, "Please sit down."

Louise smiled at him, then pulled Clark, who was distracted, and sat down opposite Bruce.

She shook the recording pen in her hand and asked the other party's opinion.

Bruce nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't mind.

"Mr. Wayne..."

Bruce interrupted Louise, "Bruce."

Louise smiled and nodded, "Bruce, I've heard many rumors about you, can you tell me where you have been all these years when you disappeared?"

Bruce blinked, "Everywhere in the world, as long as it's not Gotham, is my destination."

"all around the world?"

"Yes, all over the world. Different places have different scenery and beauties, which attract people to stay." There was some nostalgia on his face.

"But you ended up back in Gotham, why?" Louise asked again, even though Bruce Wayne's speech seemed to have answered the question.

"I'm just a passer-by elsewhere, only here is my destination." He secretly glanced at Clark who was staring at him blankly, not knowing what the other party was thinking.

Louise was a little surprised by this somewhat poetic answer, "Destination? Do you love Gotham?"

"Of course, who doesn't love their home." Bruce showed a somewhat lonely expression.

Clark didn't want Louise to keep asking these questions, he knew it would expose Bruce's scars.

While Louise was thinking, he asked Bruce, "Mr. Wayne, have you heard of Batman?"

Bruce felt a little uncomfortable with what Clark called him. He looked at him with surprise, as if he had just discovered that there was another person here, "You are?"

"Clark Kent, a reporter from the Daily Planet." He pushed his glasses, "I was standing with Louise just now, didn't Mr. Wayne notice?" There was a hint of secret grievance in his voice, It sounds pathetic.

Bruce made a look of sudden realization, "Oh, it's Mr. Kent, what did you ask me just now?"

Clark said to Bruce again, "I asked Batman..."

"Batman? Story character?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, as if Clark was joking with himself.

The other guy on the couch heard the word "Batman" and looked at them, "Batman? There's no Batman in Gotham! Just a bat-monster, a new criminal!"

There was a hint of disgust in his voice, as if Batman had done something bad to him.

"Does he really exist? I thought it was fake." Bruce said jokingly.

Secretly, he was secretly looking at the person who spoke just now. He could guarantee that he had never met him when he was Batman, so where did he get his hostility towards Batman?

Could it be that he has connections with the gang?I have indeed messed up a lot of gang business recently.

Or, he simply hates Batman, which is not a special case, there are many people who hate Batman in Gotham.

Although Louise didn't know why Clark suddenly took up the topic, but as for Batman, she couldn't help but said after hearing what Bruce said, "No! As far as I know, he is real."

Louise shook the recording pen in her hand, "He appears at night, looks like a huge bat, fights criminals, protects others, I think..."

Bruce interrupted Louise, and he said nonchalantly: "Then there must be a new criminal or lunatic in Gotham. Who would dress up as a bat like a normal person!"

Because of hearing the word "Batman", many Gotham people turned their attention here.

He saw that many people around noticed Louise's admiration for Batman and looked at her fiercely.

Although the other party has the protection of the future Superman, he has the responsibility to prevent innocent people from having accidents in Gotham, and he seems to be someone who respects him a bit.Although I don't think Batman is a hero, it's better to be supported than opposed.

Speaking of which, a large part of those people just now are the upper class people of Gotham, I wonder if they are part of the dark part of Gotham...

In order to divert the attention of those people, Bruce looked at Louise with some ambiguity, "There are enough lunatics in Gotham, he is not missing one! Dear Louise, I don't think there is anything special about him."

After finishing speaking, he winked at Louise, as if he wanted to have a date with her for a night.

Louise turned cold and put the recorder into Clark's hand, "Sorry, excuse me."

After finishing speaking, she got up and walked towards the bathroom.Some of the goodwill towards Bruce due to his appearance has also been reduced a lot.

Bruce saw that the coldness in the eyes of some people around him had not completely dissipated, and spread his hands around, "Women, they are cute only if they have a little temper."

Everyone also smiled in agreement.

Seeing that these people probably didn't want to trouble Louise anymore, Bruce heaved a sigh of relief.

But then, he felt a little embarrassed, because Clark, who was sitting across from him, had been looking at him.

"I don't have any experience in being interviewed by male reporters. I think I'm going to be excused." He shrugged at Clark, then walked out of the hall to blow some air.

Before leaving, he secretly gestured to Clark, signaling him to follow.

Sure enough, less than 5 minutes after he came out, Clark also came out.

They are now standing behind a potted plant, quite a hidden place.

Silence spread among them, and no one spoke.

Clark couldn't help it, "Boo...Mr. Wayne."

Bruce heard his hesitation and felt a little guilty.

"Just call me Bruce, Clark, my friend, long time no see." He handed the other party a glass of milk, which he took before coming out. As for why there is milk at the banquet, it is up to the almighty housekeeper .

Clark took the milk, thinking that he had used super powers to help Bruce, who hated milk, drink his milk, and the sense of distance between them seemed to have disappeared.

He didn't drink the milk right away, but held it, "You...I wrote you a letter."

He wanted to ask the other party why he never received a reply, but he couldn't ask.

Bruce opened his mouth, "...I got it."

After Bruce contacted Tony, Alfred handed him Clark's contact information, but Bruce didn't answer.

"Master?" Alfred was a little puzzled by Bruce's refusal, "Master Clark often writes to you, and I keep them for you. Would you like to read them?"

Bruce shook his head first, then nodded, "Please take it here."

Alfred took out a large box of letters, "I put all the letters in the box in chronological order."

Bruce looked at the big box of letters, as if he could see how Clark sent each letter to himself with full expectation, and how lonely he was when he didn't receive a reply.

After Alfred put down the box, he left, leaving Bruce a private space.

He opened the envelopes one by one and read them one by one.

From the miss when we just parted, to the worry of not receiving a reply for a long time, to some tentative inquiries...

The last letter he received was Clark telling himself that he was now working for the Daily Planet.

"I……"

"I……"

They said at the same time.

Then they glanced at each other.

"You speak first……"

"You speak first……"

They all spoke in unison again.

Bruce shook his head, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, "Clark, listen, I...I..."

Looking into Clark's eyes, Bruce didn't know why, but he couldn't say the simple three words.

Clark stood here and looked at him quietly, holding a glass of milk in his hand.

Bruce took a step forward, hugged Clark slightly, close to his ear, and said in a voice that was almost hard for ordinary people to hear, "I...I'm sorry."

After finishing speaking, he quickly backed away, as if someone was chasing him. After taking two steps back, he stopped and looked up at Clark.

Clark was a little dazed at first, and then as if he finally understood what the other party said, he looked at Bruce with his blue eyes, as if confirming something to him.

Bruce looked away, not looking at him.

"Bruce, I'm very happy that you're back." Clark looked at Bruce sincerely and said.

But the years have taken something away, and now he won't tell Bruce all about himself like he used to.Such as identity, such as Krypton...

Maybe in the future they can go back to what they used to be or even go further, but at least not yet.

Bruce was a little overwhelmed by this kind of straight ball, "Uh... well... I mean, it's good." He looked a little embarrassed, and it also made Clark feel that he was really facing his friend, not the one standing on the stage. The rich man who gave a speech.

He raised the milk in his hand to Bruce, "Do you want a drink?"

Bruce thought he was trying to get a little revenge on himself, and was about to take it.

Clark avoided his hand, drank the milk in one gulp, and licked his mustache after drinking.

They looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the way they cheated when Alfred asked them to drink milk.

The author has something to say: About Louise's special attention to Batman, it will be explained in the next chapter.There was no ambiguity between her and Bruce, nor with Batman. She just saw a handsome guy and couldn't help but want to make a good impression on him.You can refer to her and Clark's reaction when they saw Bruce at the airport in the best partner in the world ^O^
