[Zhongyingmei] If you don't dig a hole, you will die

Pamela was a pretty airy girl, at least when she was mentally stable, or to put it plainly, not sick.

But even at this moment, she felt a little confused about the current situation, so she could only look uncertainly at Flash and then at Hetty, and tentatively asked, "Need I leave it to the two of you?" Do you need some space to be alone?"

Hetty has no impression of the "ex-boyfriend" that the system refers to.So she didn't want Pamela to leave at all.

If there is someone who is relatively familiar to her by her side, she will feel more at ease;

And when there are other people present, this "ex-boyfriend in name" will not ask any too personal questions, and the possibility of revealing his secrets will be less, so he hurriedly said: "No, please stay here, Pa Mira."

Never expected that Flash would speak at the same time as her: "No, thank you, I just came to talk to Hetty, and I'll leave after I'm finished."

After that, as if to prove what he said was true, he immediately turned to Hetty and asked with concern: "I heard that you went to New York, why didn't you stay in Gotham?"

When he spoke, he didn't mean to be funny at all, and he didn't feel awkward or unfamiliar because of the identity of "ex-boyfriend" mentioned by the system. Instead, he looked like an old friend who had known each other for many years, which made Heidi relax a little.She thought about it and replied, "I didn't apply for an exchange, it was an accident."

Given how little she knew about the man, this was the perfect way to respond: after all, she was telling the truth, and based on Flash's subsequent reactions and responses, it was a good idea to infer the two. What is the relationship between people.

However, after hearing her answer, Flash's expression became more serious, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't say it because of the presence of Pamela, an outsider, so he could only remind vaguely: : "You can't let someone interfere too much in your life, Hetty. It doesn't matter who that person is."

This sentence is said without a beginning or an end.

He was clearly discussing recent life and academic issues with Hetty last second, but he really didn't know why the topic suddenly changed to this aspect in the next second.

Leaving aside whether this overly personal and intimate topic is suitable for him as an "ex-boyfriend", just looking at the jumping dimensions of this topic is enough to make people feel confused.

However, Hetty understood this sentence.

Rather than saying that she "understood" this sentence, it would be better to say that she has been thinking about this aspect all the time.

So when Flash mentioned this matter, she naturally understood what he was talking about.

Pamela was keenly aware that the young man seemed to have something very important to discuss with Heidi, so she got up and said, "Then I won't bother you, Harry is still at home waiting for me to go back. And I haven't fed the dog or walked the dog today, if I don't go back, it will be too late, she will definitely act like a baby and get angry with me."

Hetty: ...You don't need to explain it, thank you, really don't need it.

After Pamela left, the system also condemned Pamela's invisible behavior of spreading dog food with 12 points: "This girl is really, how can she show her affection in front of a single person? It’s so inhumane! It’s so cruel, so ruthless, so outrageous—”

Hetty echoed, "Yes."

The system continued to speak righteously: "Especially in front of a girl whose ex-boyfriend is still in front of her!"

Hetty wished that the system had an entity, so that she could pull this guy out of her mind, and then put a zipper on it: "Turn off the microphone too, system, please."

The system immediately sat obediently and silently, and said that in the next conversation with Flash, it would not say a word if it was not necessary.

After there were basically no one around, Flash asked in a low voice: "Want to talk, Hetty?"

"In fact, I have always had a psychological shadow on this sentence." Hetty sighed: "Every time I hear someone say that to me, I know that for a long time to come, this person Definitely start talking to me one-sidedly. And I can't express myself at all."

"As soon as you spoke, I almost thought that the person sitting opposite me was not you."

Flash didn't ask who "that person" Hetty was talking about, but still looked at her seriously, and asked, "So are you feeling better now?"

Hetty replied uncertainly, "Much better?"

"Although I shouldn't talk too much about your personal situation, I must say something, Hetty." Flash shrugged: "When parents control their children to the point that even the schedule of daily life is strict It's really abnormal when you're in control."

As soon as he said this, everyone present fell silent.The system's silence is because there are things it doesn't know about, but others and the parties involved are all tacitly aware of them.

As for Hetty's silence, there were really many reasons, and it took her a long time before she said, "I see, thank you for reminding me."

After Louise and the others returned from filming and announced that today's work was over, Hetty was finally freed from the burden of guarding the table and began to pack up and prepare to go back with the team.

The system, which had been silent for a long time, carefully made a vivid "chi la chi la" zipper sound in Hetty's mind, and asked, "Can I speak now?"

It was only then that Hetty realized that this system was indeed very honest, and it would not speak if it was not spoken, but it was really a resounding and good system that followed its words.

But compared to such trivial things as emotion, she has more important things to know right now: "Do you have anything to tell me?"

"The matter has come to this, and there is no way to hide it from you, little Hetty." The system was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, you in this world are the same as you in the past, haven't you noticed? Even you The most important kinship and interpersonal relationships are similar to the original ones."

"I've discovered it a long time ago." Hetty didn't show any sign of being shocked by this sudden truth at all:

"If you have been living in a condom for a long time, and you suddenly come to a strange place, but find that the feeling of suffocation and encirclement still follows you like a shadow, everyone will feel something is wrong, right?"

The system was silent for much longer than last time: "Then why didn't you ask me?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I've gotten used to it over the years." Hetty shrugged: "And I've been working hard to make some changes that I would never have made before. Let alone the results, at least there are changes. Good thing."

"That's true..." The system immediately became optimistic, and even began to happily discuss with Heidi the inexplicable "ex-boyfriend" Flash she just met:

"How do you think you two met?"

Hetty was completely confused about this: "Shouldn't this be something you only know? I thought the system was omniscient and omnipotent."

"As a system, my function may not be beautiful, but I must be the most personalized." The system said sincerely: "Think about little Heidi, what other system can have more unique functions than mine? Others Can the system do it?"

Hetty had to admit that the painting style of this system is indeed unique: "It's quite sand sculpture, but the question is, is this something to be proud of?"

If the system had an entity, it would have stood up proudly by now: "Yes!"

Hetty: "Well, just pretend I didn't ask."

At this moment, an extremely familiar voice sounded from not far in front of Hetty:

"Hetty?"

Want to

To live in Gotham, apart from the indispensable good luck, one must have the ability to remain calm.

Because anything can happen in this city in the next second.Hetty had already learned this skill 100% before living here just a few months——

Of course, it can't be ruled out that she herself has very few facial expressions—she calmly greeted Jason who suddenly appeared in front of her: "What a coincidence, we meet again."

"I thought there was a guy who looked like you from a distance, but when I came here to have a look, I didn't expect it was really you."

Jason was still straddling his windy motorcycle, with his long legs slanted, and it seemed that he had just stopped not long ago, he didn't even have time to take off his helmet, he just opened the goggles: "You shouldn't be in New York right now. Well, why are you back again?"

Hetty spread her hands: "Because the newspaper office I was intern came here to collect materials, so I came here to revisit the old place."

"Then go back earlier." Jason's focus is always quite practical, and he skipped a whole set of pleasantries and went straight to the point, urging: "Gotham is very chaotic at night recently, and if you leave too late, you may not even be able to cross the bridge .”

This is exactly in Hetty's favor. After all, she has experienced the chaos of Gotham at close range. It would be bad if she made too much noise during the observation period. It's not obvious that she is going to slap S.H.I.E.L.D. in the face: "Thank you Remind me, I'm leaving now."

"Where is your car?" Jason asked, "Do you want me to take you there?"

Hetty pointed to Louise who was waving at her on the other side of the road: "No, it's on the opposite side."

Apparently, people on the Planet Daily side are not very at ease about the law and order in Gotham. Louise also asked Heidi a little more by the way: "Do you know that guy just now? He looks a bit fierce."

Not only did I know him, Hetty thought, but my smashed roof knew him pretty well too.

However, you can't just say these things casually, so you can only vaguely say: "It's the owner of the laundry shop I met before. He is very nice. He even invited me to eat fried chicken. I feel that I have an inexplicable affinity with him."

The system of digging pits and not filling them is timely inserted into the complaint: "Is it the resonance of struggling to survive under the hands of parents who have an overly strong desire to control?"

Hetty suddenly realized, and then she looked at the figure of Jason who was fading away, and there was a little bit of sympathy in her eyes: "I said, how do you get along so well! Hey, it turns out that everyone's life is not easy. .”

System: ... No, it's not like this, little Hetty, wait a minute.If they really fit together, there is actually another possibility?Don't be so straight-forward and completely empty out the possibility of developing a relationship, okay?

But Hetty was obviously not the only one who was too straight.

"--Then you told someone, 'Walk slowly, don't see you off'? Dick looked in shock at Jason, who didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions, and truly experienced the despair of being a straight man's family and friends: "Can't you say something else?Didn't ask for someone's phone number? "

Jason didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did: "It's only half a street away. If there is an emergency, I can rush through it in time with my physical fitness, and it won't have any impact."

"That's not the problem, little wing!" Dick almost applauded Jason's pragmatism-oriented brain circuit: "She doesn't know you can do it, if you send her there, it will give people a sense of security ? It’s very good for you!”

Jason thought for a while, and it seemed to make sense, so he said he had learned it kindly: "Be careful next time."

Dick looked at him with extremely compassionate eyes: "I'm afraid there will be no next time for you."

"And instead of asking questions later, why don't you explain the fact that you didn't refute your "favor" just now? "

The big blue bird, who likes to be lively by nature, is already gearing up. He looks like he won't let it go until he finds something exciting from Jason today:

"You can definitely avoid this kind of language trap in normal times, what's going on today, little wing?"

Jason: ...fuck.slipped away.
