Schizophrenia

Chapter 6 A Troubled Child

"Bruce?" When Ansang woke up in the middle of the night, he noticed that the half of the bed beside him was cold.Wearing the rabbit suit that Bruce put on for himself, Ansang wandered around Wayne's house slowly.Most of the time Bruce was in his parents' room, and a few times in the study.

"Bruce?" When pushing open the study door, Ansang noticed that Bruce stood up quickly and hid his hands behind his back.

"Jack, why are you up?" Seeing Ansang standing barefoot on the ground, Bruce seemed relieved, stepped forward to hold Ansang's hand, and led Ansang to the sofa.

"What are you doing?" Ansang would not be easily diverted by Bruce.

"It's nothing!" Bruce's eyes drifted, showing a comforting smile, "Let's go, go back to sleep!"

"What are you doing with candles?" Ansang looked at the shaking candles, and looked sideways at Bruce, "Burn something?"

"It's nothing, go back to sleep!" Bruce smiled, holding Ansang's hand with his left hand.

"What's wrong with your right hand?" Bruce is right-handed, how could he suddenly use his left hand?

"I'm very good……"

"Are you burning your hands?" Thinking of Bruce's feat of picking roses with his bare hands during the day, Ansang suddenly had an epiphany, "Why?" This question has troubled him for a long time.Since the Wayne couple's funeral, there have been fewer and fewer visitors to the Wayne mansion, and Bruce's behavior has become more and more strange.

At the beginning, I liked to stand on high places, but later it became all kinds of self-harm behaviors: "Why?"

"I'm just here," Bruce paused, really not knowing what to say so that this little guy wouldn't learn from him.In the parenting books he read, young children are the easiest to learn from other people's actions, if he tells Jack that he is testing his own limits.

Oh, he couldn't imagine Jack burning his hands too: "Talking to Mr. Candle!"

This time, Ansang looked at Bruce more like he was looking at a psychopath: "Lie!"

"Okay... as long as you don't tell Ah Fu!" He had been caught burning his hands once before, but this time he was discovered by Jack, "...I'm trying to face my fear!" Bruce said with a white face.

"But why candles?" Ansang suddenly felt that he didn't understand Bruce's behavior.Think about what he was doing when he was the age of Bruce?In the name of the second sister, I destroyed the employment notice of the eldest sister, added a few phone numbers called 'Baby' to my father's address book, and then told my mother...

Oh forget it: "But what does burning hands have to do with facing your fears?"

"A burnt child d reads the fire!" Bruce uttered a common saying, "but I can overcome my fear of fire even if I get burned!"

"So?" An Sang really didn't know what the relationship between the two was. People's burning refers to a large area of ​​burning!

"So, I have to overcome my fear!" Bruce said stubbornly.

"So, you're not afraid of bats anymore?" Ansang shrugged, looked at the silent Bruce and pouted, "Bruce, that's not how to overcome fear! Besides, you will only make Ah Fu worry!" No wonder before It took a long time to bandage Bruce, and it turned out to be a secondary injury.

"I'm sleepy!" Deciding to be optimistic about Bruce tonight, Ansang yawned a lot and lay on Bruce's body.Since the Waynes passed away, Bruce, who still had a little flesh on his body, has lost weight like this.Bruce, who was super comfortable to hold, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Let's go, let's go back to sleep!" Bruce pushed the child lying on top of him.

"I don't want it!" Ansang decided to exercise his willful rights, "I'll be with you and Mr. Candle!" As he spoke, he yawned again, and then fell asleep with his mouth twitching.

When he opened his eyes, Ah Sang found himself lying in the room.The curtains were drawn, but the sunlight that penetrated clearly told him that it was already daytime.The side was still cold, Ansang thought that it was Ah Fu who carried him back.Bruce had slept in more or less though.

When I opened the curtains, I saw a GCPD car parked in the yard: "Ah, the police!" After thinking about it, the police who would visit the Wayne house, that is, at the funeral of the Wayne couple that day, looked a bit prominent Green little policeman.According to Ah Fu, it was the police who caught the murderer of Wayne and his wife.

When An Sang appeared at the door of the study, the conversation in the room was at a stalemate.Bruce sat on the couch eating Alfred's cookies, looking a bit sulky.A young man in a suit was sitting on the sofa with his back facing him, while Ah Fu was standing in front of the desk, and he was the first to notice An Sang's appearance.

"Master Jacob!" Ah Fu looked at Ansang who was stepping on the floor barefoot with some disapproval, "I have said it many times, please don't walk on the floor barefoot! You will catch cold!" He stepped forward and hugged Ansang, who was rubbing his eyes and was still sleepy, and put him on the sofa.

Ansang yawned indifferently, looked at Mr. Police who was sitting across the sofa, and then leaned on Bruce's body: "Bruce, I'm sleepy!" He fell asleep almost at dawn, and the child's The most is lack of sleep.The recent irregular work and rest made Ansang feel sleepy almost every day.

"Jack?" Bruce hugged his younger brother subconsciously, "Jack, this is Officer James Gordon! Mr. Gordon, this is my brother Jacob!" After a brief introduction to each other, Bruce turned all his attention to his brother.

Sitting opposite, Gordon knew why Wayne's butler found him and said that he needed to see the second young master of Wayne's family.Perhaps Bruce, as Mr. Steward said, became a little extreme and even started to harm himself.But to his younger brother, he is really a good brother.

"Can we go out to play in the afternoon?" While in a daze, Gordon heard the child's soft voice coquettishly at Ah Fu, "Please, Ah Fu!" After finishing speaking, he did not wait for Ah Fu to reply, and quickly got off the sofa He jumped to the ground, took Bruce and ran out of the study.

"Perhaps, you should let the two of them stay longer!" Gordon watched Bruce being led away by the little one, and suggested to the relieved housekeeper, "Bruce should like this brother very much!"

"Yes, Master Bruce likes Young Master Jacob very much!" Afu nodded, with his hands behind his back, "Before Master Thomas and Master Martha left, Master Bruce liked Young Master Jacob very much!"

"That kid is quite sensible!" Gordon noticed that since the kid came in, he didn't ask what he did, and he avoided all things about Bruce, just talking about himself.At the back, I wanted to drag Bruce out of the room and go out to play: "Why don't you let the two of them stay longer?"

"It's not bad!" Mr. Steward said in a low tone, "Actually, when Master Bruce is sleeping with Master Jacob, he no longer has nightmares! It's just that Master Jacob is still a child after all, and one day he will I will know my own life experience..."

"Are you worried that he will think badly of Bruce?" Gordon felt that Mr. Butler was just worrying too much.

"No, it's not!" Mr. Butler shook his head, "I'm just worried that if one day, Young Master Jacob insists on leaving to find his biological parents..."
