Is boyfriend the dark knight today? [Comprehensive British and American]

Bruce still went to the lakeside park the next day, but the person who caught his attention that day didn't appear in the park for several days as if he could predict that Bruce was looking for him.

Logically speaking, this is not realistic - according to Bruce's speculation, the other party should have the habit of running in the morning, and the lakeside park is obviously the place where the other party is used to, and there is no reason for him to suddenly disappear.

Bruce waited for three days, but the other party never showed up.Instead, Bruce meets Hayley again.

She didn't intend to hide her purpose at all. After seeing Bruce, she walked straight towards him and sat down beside him.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Bruce took his place.Of course, he noticed Hai Li's arrival early in the morning, and he didn't avoid it just to see what the other party's purpose was.

Hayley didn't care if she didn't get a response from Bruce, she shook her calf briskly, as if she was in a good mood.

Ten minutes passed like this, and neither of the two made a sound.

On the contrary, Bruce began to be confused in such silence whether the other party came to see him on purpose, or if it was really a coincidence.

In his original thought, Hailey probably noticed that he was looking for someone when they met last time, so he speculated that Bruce might still appear in this park.But this is not absolute, maybe the other party lives near here?

The silence continues...

"My father doesn't like me," Hayley said suddenly.

Bruce looks sideways at this, but Hayley doesn't look at him.

She looked down at her knees, looking like she simply wanted to talk.

But here's the problem—Bruce doesn't understand why the other person wants to tell him.He can guarantee that he is definitely not the type who seems to comfort people, and he has absolutely no interest in comforting this girl.It can't be because he was the first man to help Haili...

But Hayley continued talking nonchalantly.

"I have an older brother, my own older brother. Since childhood, everyone only cared about my older brother, even though he was always indecisive and cowardly."

"As for me, I'm just a daughter and I was homeschooled. My father and mother didn't allow me to find other people to play with, and I wasn't allowed to run and jump because leaving scars would affect my image. The only thing I could see When it came to outsiders, it was my mother who invited the other wives to the tea party." She paused, "I thought that as long as I behaved well enough, they would care about me."

Children who lack love always unconsciously find reasons from themselves.It seemed like some kind of inevitable, Bruce thought.Probably because the environment in which they live has never taught them that it is wrong for their parents to ignore their behavior.

"At that time, all the wives who came to our house would praise me for being sensible and well-behaved," Haili said, seeming to recall some good memories, with a little smile in her voice, "At that time, my mother would also be kind to me. I thought it was the right thing to do.”

"Until one time I upstaged my brother in front of the guests."

"I've never been punished so badly before." The girl said softly, "At that time, I realized that I was so much worse than my brother since I was born."

"I can't be good, I can't be smart, I can't be more capable than my brother," she said.

"Since I was born, what awaits me is the fate of being raised as a commodity and sold as a commodity."

After Hailey finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Bruce, who had no expression on his face.

Only then did Bruce notice the smile on the other's face.

The girl sat beside him, swaying back briskly, as if talking about her past didn't affect her mood much.

This is rare.When a person talks about past trauma, he will more or less bring back his past self and relive the negative feelings at the beginning.

"My brother is very nice to me," Hailey said. "He's not like my parents... Of course, he kind of thinks that girls should be safe and sound. But my brother is willing to let me be his 'invisible counselor'." , so that my plan can be carried out by his hand."

"Without him, I wouldn't know that I'm actually talented, let alone know that I can do better than my brother." She suddenly laughed.

Bruce had a keen sense that something was wrong.

"Where's your brother?" he asked.

What responded to him was Hai Li's green eyes with a crooked smile: "I don't know—maybe, he's dead." She said softly.

In her white dress, her light blond curly hair falling over her shoulders and her delicate face, Hailey would have looked like an angel without her wings - if she hadn't been discussing her brother's death so lightly if.

The beautiful appearance provides this woman with unparalleled delusion.

Bruce began to realize that Hailey might not be as simple as she looked, but he still sat there without moving.

Obviously, Hai Li didn't have any malice towards him, she just wanted to talk to him for some unknown reason.Since Hayley dared to tell everything, of course Bruce would not be able to find evidence.

"Don't look at me like that," Hayley complained dissatisfiedly like every innocent girl would do.She was still very happy: "I didn't do anything. I just gave him a brilliant idea-he is too stupid to mess up something as simple as that."

Bruce is skeptical.

"Easily, my parents were heartbroken because of his accident." She giggled, "That's their only son. Without my dear brother, who else can inherit their property."

"Oh, of course they can't remember that they have a daughter—I have another brother. What is a daughter? A daughter is just a display."

"But I don't need them anymore."

"I have far more capital than they think, and what I have now is much more than what they have." Hai Li laughed again, "You must not know, when they saw me yesterday, the expression on my face What a happy look on my face."

Bruce was silent.

"Why would you want to tell me this?" he asked.

The smile on Hai Li's face narrowed: "Probably... because you are not the same person as us."

"Even though it looks similar, there is light on your body." She said, staring at the calm lake in front of her, "You are actually not the same kind of person as me and Dawn."

She stared at the lake for a while before smiling again.

"I was chatting with you, but I suddenly forgot the purpose of coming to you," Hai Li's voice became lighter again, she stood up from the bench, and straightened her skirt naturally, "I'm actually To remind you to be careful of Clarion—that mercenary is not as simple as you seem."

"Goodbye," she said, and walked briskly away from Bruce.

……

Bruce, who was still sitting on the bench, was a little confused.

After all, Hailey just came to tell him about her miserable childhood.Bruce also couldn't figure out what the other party had done to her brother - it sounded like a plan that her brother couldn't finish?

Hayley's words have so cleverly blurred out all information about her that Bruce can't even figure out who her brother is.The woman talked for a long time, and all the information Bruce could receive was that she was born in a patriarchal family; that there was something about Bruce that attracted her; and what she really wanted to tell him: Clarion was not an ordinary person.

But Hailey didn't say clearly how unusual Clarion was, and this information meant nothing to Bruce.

As long as you think about it with your brain, you can know that Clarion can find that there is more than one world for fusion without Sherlock, and you can know that this mercenary is probably not easy.

Bruce sat there for a while, took out his cell phone and called Dawn.

……

Between Bruce and Dawn, Bruce is often the more restrained one—it's not that Bruce doesn't say love words to Dawn or anything, it's just that men are always more subtle than Dawn when expressing their feelings.

For example, Bruce would never use nicknames such as 'honey', 'sweetheart', and 'baby' as pet names for his boyfriend, and he still talks about it every day.Most of the way Bruce shows his affection is by quietly pampering Dawn's bouts of mischief.

Similarly, Dawn is the one of the two who calls Bruce from time to time.

However, Dawn has been very busy recently, so busy that he hardly has time to call Bruce.

Originally, the tug-of-war with Herman was not over yet. While dealing with the opponent's various methods, Dawn still had to find time to investigate Krall's death.

As far as he knew, Herman had secretly defined Krall's death as an emotional dispute.However, it was an accident that Herman was willing to be Krall, but Dawn couldn't think so.Not only could he not, but he had to find out the cause of the other party's death.

Because this conspiracy was aimed at Dawn from the beginning to the end.

It wasn't even just Klare, Dawn vaguely felt that when he was kidnapped by the Siren, there was probably a vague handwriting of Klare's "girlfriend" behind him.

——This is not reasoning, just his intuition.

Dawn believes that the number of people in the world who can design him so that he doesn't show his feet will not exceed single digits, and most of them will not have any conflict of interest with him.In this way, it was too strange for him to capsize in the gutter several times.

Dawn was a little surprised when he received the call from Bruce.

But he still had a subconscious smile on his face, and he didn't care if Bruce, who was far away at the other end, couldn't see it.The voice of connecting the phone was a few degrees softer than when he gave orders to his subordinates.

"Sweetheart, miss me?"

Bruce was not surprised. He skipped this sentence and asked bluntly, "Do you know Clarion's background?"

Dawn glanced at his subordinate and told him to leave the office to give himself some private space.

"He's not a simple person, but I don't know the details." He said, "You want to shoot him? Don't worry about his background, Honey, you know I'm willing to help you clean up the mess."

Bruce was silent.Clarion's real identity didn't have much influence on him. Bruce just asked casually, and it wasn't even the main purpose of his call—I don't know how Dawn could think so far.

I didn't realize that Dawn's associative ability was so strong before.

"No," he denied, and after a pause he realized why he wanted to call in the first place, and cleared his throat uncomfortably, "I miss you, Don."

The author has something to say:

Bruce: I miss you, Sugar~

Dawn: Short of money?

Bruce: ...
