batman and red hood

Dick was lying on the bed, bored watching TV, thanks to the blow on his back, he can now rest at home early, the home of Wayne Manor.

Christmas is approaching, whether it is full of festive atmosphere on the road or on the TV, Gotham will not ignore this wonderful holiday just because there is more crime than other places.

But the criminals of Gotham will not give up this wonderful holiday.But Dick wasn't bothering about those guys at the moment.What was bothering him was thinking about what to get Jason for Christmas.

Because of his own identity, although Dick seems to have many friends, he doesn't have many real friends. In previous years, he only had to consider giving gifts to Bruce, Barbara, and Alfred.

Barbara, girls, beautiful clothes, and jewelry are all optional things, but these are definitely impossible to send to Jason.

Bruce...I felt that it was rude to buy presents for Bruce with the money that Bruce gave, so when Dick was a child, he gave them back-beating rolls and the like. Later, he started to make weapons by himself, so he gave them the darts he made. Made Bruce a present.How about giving Jason some weapons?He seems to be very interested in his pair of electric batons, why don't you make one for him?

But for things like weapons, you need to try them out for a long time before you know what you are suitable for. He has used all known weapons since he was a child, and finally chose this electric baton and has been using it until now. Dick is not sure whether Jason is Not suitable for this kind of double stick.

For Alfred... The gifts for Alfred were quite standard, basically items from the gift shop, and Jason didn't seem very interested in those purely decorative items.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with one, two, three, Dick picked up the phone at hand and dialed Barbara's number, and it didn't take long for the call to connect.

"Dick? What's the matter?"

"Hi, Barbara, what are you going to give Jason for Christmas?"

Dick knew Barbara was sure to send Jason presents, and she prepared little gifts for each of them every year, so he wanted to get some inspiration from her.

"Jason? I knitted him a scarf"

"Huh? You haven't knitted anything for me before."

"You can buy better ones, and Bruce didn't cut off your financial resources."

"Jason has pocket money too, he just doesn't spend it"

Dick is not very happy, Barbara's handwork... definitely can't compare to high-end custom items, and she rarely knits, because of long-term training, Barbara's finger joints are not as soft as ordinary girls, It is difficult for her to weave such delicate work, so she is not good at manual work, so she actually knits a scarf for Jason this time?Dick felt a little acid regurgitation in his stomach.

"Isn't it different?"

Sometimes Barbara can't wait to pry open the heads of the father and son to see what kind of circuits are in their brains, or is this the difference between men and women?But her father would have noticed.

"What's the difference?"

"Dick, Jason has never had Christmas, right? When you and Bruce were trying to get your parents to buy you the gifts you wanted, the only thing Jason thought about was how to survive. I believe you must have asked He wants some presents, but I can also guess that he will answer you no, Christmas presents are like Santa Claus to Jason, do you understand what I'm going to say?"

Barbara's words made Dick froze for a moment. When Jason said no, he thought it was just Jason's sense of uneasiness popping up again. He said no because he was afraid that his request was too much and would be hated. He never thought Jason really didn't think about what kind of Christmas gift he would like, after all, children look forward to Christmas and Christmas gifts, don't they?At least this was the day he was most looking forward to when he was a child.

Holding the phone and looking at the ceiling, Dick thought carefully about Barbara's words for a while, and then said:

"What do you think... Bruce will give Jason?"

"he?"

"to him"

"... There is no need to guess at all, okay?"

"Haha, I was wondering what Jason would look like when he opened the gift bag and found a wad of cash inside"

"It's enough, can't he choose a gift seriously, obviously he will choose a gift for his girlfriend very seriously"

"You also know that it's for a female partner. Jewelry, dresses, cosmetics, bags, he will only choose from these, and it's impossible to give these to Jason."

"That's enough. Does he only give money to men as gifts?"

"Haha, every year on Superman's birthday, he gives a wad of cash directly."

Dick and Barbara were having a heated discussion on the phone, and Bruce Wayne, who was ridiculed by the two people as 'gifts to men only give money', was sitting in the living room at the moment, looking seriously at the picture on the desk. stack of books.That serious expression can easily make people think that he is looking at the financial statements of Wayne Enterprises at the moment.But unfortunately, those colorful covers negate this most likely possibility.

The magazine Bruce was reading at the moment presented a stack of various toy models, some of which were products of his Wayne Enterprises.Of course, this is not because Bruce is dissatisfied with the profits of the toy industry department of Wayne Enterprises, and plans to reform or something. He will look at these things that he would not normally look at just because of Alfred's words:

"Master Bruce, I think in order to show your attitude, you should choose a gift yourself as Master Jason's first Christmas gift when he comes to Wayne Manor, instead of taking a wad of cash and wrapping it in wrapping paper. Gift"

Flipping through the model magazine in his hand, Bruce still couldn't understand why he couldn't just use money as a gift, so as to avoid the embarrassment of buying something the other party didn't like.

Turning the page, the advertisement on this page is a spaceship model, the model is very delicate and large, the combination will definitely give people a sense of accomplishment, but Bruce doesn't think Jason likes this thing.

Closing the magazine in his hand, Bruce suddenly realized that he knew nothing about Jason's hobby.Jason never asked what kind of clothes, what to eat, what kind of toys, at most, he just soaked in the study and read books when he was resting.

When Dick was a child, he would come to ask him for anything he wanted, but Jason never asked him for anything. The card he gave Jason has not received any bills so far, and the pocket money he gave Jason Qian didn't seem to be passive. During Jason's visit, he just studied, trained and patrolled him every day, and occasionally went out to play with Dick, but the farthest distance would not exceed the area closest to Wayne Manor. area.

"You can take him to the amusement park some time"

Alfred came in with a snack and saw Bruce, who was deep in thought, make a suggestion of his own.

"Ah Fu, Jason likes reading books, doesn't he?"

"Yes, Master Jason likes to read literature books very much, but let me remind you that almost all the famous books in the world are stored in the study room of Wayne Manor"

Alfred's words broke Bruce's small calculation, and it was really inappropriate to use what he already had as a gift.

Bruce sighed, it seems unnecessary to buy a small animal for Jason. Jason has Ace and he has raised it well. Ace is very smart and well trained. The milk dog has now grown into the basic appearance of an adult dog.

Bruce turned his face to look at the garden outside the window. The garden was regularly maintained by professional gardeners hired by Alfred. In the professional art gardening, the crooked tree that was pruned was particularly deceitful.

"...Jason seems to like plants too..."
