I used to believe in science

Antoinette saw Pep walking back to Tony and said something to him, so Tony glanced at Pep's shoes and took her hand and left the venue.

Now Antoinette is alone. She retreats to the French window in the corner with her half-drunk sparkling wine. Outside the French window is a small balcony. Potted plants block half of the balcony. No one has discovered it yet, so she pushes Open the door and go out, let yourself clean for a while.

But it didn't take long for someone to join her.

The window was pushed open again, and Antoinette saw Bruce walk in. He stopped when he saw someone, but relaxed again when he saw it was her, and walked over to her.

Dinah Lance is hiding in a corner with her new boyfriend Ollie to enjoy a rare leisure time. Dinah is facing the hall, carefully seeing the little girl she just met and the host of the banquet leaving one after another. to a balcony, so she casually asked, "Miss Stark, are you on good terms with Bruce?"

"They kind of grew up together...how do you know?" Ollie blew on his beard and followed his girlfriend's eyes to look but saw nothing.

"Have they developed a further relationship?"

"No." Ollie's answer was decisive, and he lowered his voice after hesitating for a moment. "You know that it is difficult for people like the old bat to maintain any emotional relationship. Why do you ask?"

"Honey, do you know the way you look at me?" Dinah looked at Ollie almost lovingly and touched the side of his cheek, but didn't explain anything and sent him to get a glass. Sparkling wine.

"Still not drinking?" Antoinette raised his eyebrows after watching Bruce pour the champagne in the glass directly outside the window sill.

"It's just... Alfred wants me to last to the end tonight, so I guess it's better not to get into trouble." Bruce shook the empty glass, turned and leaned on the window railing, facing her and answered, this is They had spoken face to face for the first time since her arrival at Wayne Manor.

And this answer raised Antoinette's eyebrows a little more. "Come on, Bruce, I don't think we need to lie between us. You always avoid drinking."

"...Sorry." Bruce looked down at the empty glass in his hand for a few seconds before answering. He looked up at Antoinette again, with an apologetic smile in his eyes, "We agreed not to talk to each other." Do profile."

Few people know that Bruce also studied psychology, but they just listened in a low-key way. Antoinette always took the same class as him at Stanford, so he knew it.

"Oh, sorry, professional habits." She made a zipper movement with her left hand over her mouth.

Bruce nodded understandingly, looking around as if remembering something. "So, where's Tony? I remember seeing him earlier?"

"Going out to get some air, Pep probably didn't have the right shoes today, Tony went with him...I guess that's the library?"

"Oh, I hope he'll do me a favor by not messing up my couch." Bruce sighs, whimpering a bit.

"No, Pep is a girl with high standards, and she won't agree to sleep with him until she has had three dates."

This time Bruce raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "So Tony hasn't caught up with Miss Potts yet?"

To this question, Antoinette just shrugged his shoulders and replied indifferently, "Although he is my brother, I still have to be fair. If he doesn't work hard, he won't be able to catch up with Pep."

"Okay." Bruce nodded with a drawl. "So what about you?"

"I?"

"I see you brought a new face..."

"That's my colleague. Your invitation was too sudden. I didn't have time to contact my male companion Roddy." Antoinette spread his hands and made a gesture of 'you understand', and quickly scanned the hall to confirm Rui De was still talking to Strange and made a disgusted expression, "Among my colleagues, this is the only one who is about my age."

Bruce glanced at Antoinette's eyes, and asked casually, "Is your colleague a doctor?"

"He's a doctor, but not a doctor of medicine..." Antoinette glanced at someone who was chatting with a well-known doctor and sighed. "But I think there is only an age problem between him and a medical degree."

Bruce's eyebrows went up to his forehead. "It must be nice to work with someone who can keep up with the train of thought."

"It's okay...Usually, I have to act as a brain circuit translator between him and others." Antoinette waved his hand.

"So, what about Harvey?"

"?"

"Harvey Dent, the prosecutor who spoke to you just now." Bruce reminded.

And Antoinette nodded after such a reminder. She was not surprised that Bruce was paying attention to her. He was always in control of the situation. "He's a good guy, what?"

"So you like him?" Bruce's face is a little gossip now.

Antoinette tilted her head and studied for a while what was hidden in the twinkling eyes of the other party, but Bruce also knew how to profile, so he hid his emotions deeply, so she finally gave up, just shrugged and gave a noncommittal "it's OK."

"Okay." Bruce didn't show whether he was satisfied with the answer, he just nodded

"How are you doing?" Antoinette asked back. She hadn't seen the person in front of her for a while, and their contact was not very close.

"It's still the same." Bruce replied easily with his arms spread out against the railing of the balcony.

"Still so keen on extreme sports?" Antoinette glanced at him, leaned against a railing, and faced him, pointing to his outstretched asymmetrical arms, "If an activity always hurts you, maybe You should consider not doing this."

"The world is unpredictable." However, Bruce replied with a wry smile. When Antoinette raised an eyebrow and silently asked for an explanation, he lowered his head and smiled. When he raised his head again, there was a little more smile in his eyes, but Antoinette did not It felt like it came from the heart, and it was a lot like when Tony veiled 'I think otherwise' at some point.

So they opened their mouths at the same time to say something——

There was a faint sound in the wind.

So they stopped almost simultaneously and closed their mouths.

It was the rustling of something through the trees, in the woods directly below them.

Antoinette turned his head and looked down. First, he saw the woods downstairs swaying unconsciously, and then he saw a person walking out of the bushes, staggering, and weakly shouting 'help'. fell to the ground.

Bruce also poked his head and saw this. He realized what happened faster than Antoinette, and his approach was even more amazing. He supported the fence of the stone platform with one hand, turned over and jumped directly to the second floor.

Antoinette thought she couldn't do such a difficult move, so she chose to turn her head, push through the crowd and rush to the gate, not forgetting to pull Rhett along the way.
