Evelyn leaned against the bar counter boredly and looked at the few two customers, listening to the sound of "cracking" rain outside. The night mixed with the sound of rain made people feel very irritated.

It was past nine o'clock. Although there were not many people, she was also asked by the boss to stand on the last post.

This is the part-time job she found after she went to college-a waiter in a fast food restaurant. This place is only one street away from Gotham University. There are often not many people at night, or they are all drug addicts, homeless people and the like.

In fact, it wasn't that she was looking for a better one, it was just that when she came out of Sin City, she found that as long as others saw the word "Sin City", her offer would be cut in half.

But it's not bad here, and the boss won't stop her from writing papers when there are few people.

Her crew tonight is a sweet girl, Debra.

Evelyn likes her smile very much, this kind of smile is hard to see in the city of sin, and being with her will make Evelyn feel like returning to her previous life.

"So," Debra handed her a cup of instant coffee, "because your adoptive mother kicked you out, you want to sneak back?"

Evelyn shrugged, "Almost."

It should be that she wants to go back to help, but she is a little afraid that they will be delayed after making a plan.

"It's rare to see people like you." Debra tilted her head.

"what?"

"I mean, the relationship with the adoptive parents is not bad." Debra said while cleaning the bar, "Most of the adoptive parents I have met are jerks. After all, there are subsidies, especially for adopted daughters. It is easy for the adoptive father to leave problem, you know."

She blinked: "So I'm lucky."

"Dinglingling——" the reminder bell at the door of the restaurant rang.

A man who came in was wearing a black jacket and jeans with a wet body. What attracted the attention was not only his muscular and powerful appearance because of the wetness—it looked like a magazine model.

What is more eye-catching is his handsome appearance. He is very handsome, like a basketball team bully in high school with a group of friends who bully others. He is flamboyant and confident. Make yourself the most dazzling one in the crowd.

He pushed the door open as he came in, pushing his hair back with one hand.

Wow, Evelyn must admit, this is tempting.

"Hey, the weather is really bad today, isn't it?" He came in and saw Evelyn at the bar and walked over, looking at her with a look of deep blue eyes that seemed to glow as he spoke.

"It's really not good, are you trapped in the rain?" Evelyn smiled at him and greeted him very cooperatively.

Out of the corner of her eye, Evelyn could still see Debra winking at her.

"Indeed, I can't go anywhere now." He stood by the bar like a giant.

Evelyn thinks he's almost there, if not 200 pounds.

He looked down at her slightly and said, "Evelyn."

"?"

He pointed to Evelyn's chest, "It's written on the sign."

"It's finally come in handy after so long." Evelyn smiled and responded again, "Then you?"

"Jed Williams, you can call me Jed."

She took out a box of tissues and handed it to him, "So, Jed." She paused slightly, raising the "D" sound slightly, "I guess you need this."

"It's too timely." Jed took it with a smile, took off his coat to reveal the gray round-neck T-shirt inside, and began to wipe himself.

With a "ding", Evelyn's cell phone rang. While Jed was cleaning up, she took a quick look and it was Debra.

[Debra: God!Look at his muscles!Eve, listen to me, don't let him go. 】

She took the opportunity to make a face at Debra, and received Debra's eyes.

"Ahem" Evelyn cleared his throat while watching Jed who was still cleaning up, "Jed, do you want something?"

"Do you have any recommendations?"

"The cheese meat roll set is not bad." She thought for a while and added, "I like it better."

"Then the cheese meat roll set." Jed looked at the menu, "Two servings."

Evelyn poked the order machine a few times, "Wait a minute, soon, I'll rush."

Jed nodded, found a seat by the window and sat down.

Debra walked over immediately, "Eve, how are you doing?"

Evelyn shrugged noncommittally.

"Don't tell me you didn't see that he was interested in you, you should go talk to him again, whatever." Debra was even more excited than herself.

It is undeniable that this man is really attractive. A person's life status can be seen from his words and deeds. At least it can be seen that he must be very self-disciplined and his life status is positive. This is still very precious in Gotham.

But she really doesn't have that energy these days.

She prevaricated a few words, and stopped talking halfway through, and let Debra go when the food was delivered, and the disappointment on Debra's face was about to overflow.

I thought this matter would stop, but who knew that when he paid the bill, he didn't leave the money on the table, but came to the bar specially.

"Then Evelyn, bye." He said after paying the bill.

She looked at him, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "Wait a minute."

She trotted to the staff room and took an umbrella out, "Take it."

He looked at the umbrella in his hand and reacted quickly, "What about you?"

"This is a spare, I still have it."

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, are you going to work tomorrow? I'll pay you back."

"Not sure, but that's when I work most of the time outside of weekends."

Jed glanced at the schedule, "Six to ten."

"Six to ten." She confirmed it again.

----

Evelyn came out of the fast food restaurant 10 minutes early.

She carried an umbrella and walked along the road.

The law and order near Gotham University is relatively good, but there are basically no people on the road today, so she still quickened her pace.

She doesn't want to be hurt by others, and she doesn't want to hurt others.

Until less than 500 meters away from the school, there was a figure in black, with a patch of red on his head, leaning on his motorcycle, standing under the eaves of the shopping mall.

Obviously waiting for myself.

Evelyn walked over, pursed her lips, and her voice was hoarse because she didn't speak all the way: "Red Hood."

"Black Mask has found you, there are people from him in Gotham University." His voice was muffled by wearing a hood.

Although it was a bit unreliable, she felt that he was indeed here to remind her, and 90.00% of Gotham people live by intuition.

"Thank you." She didn't know what to say, and she didn't plan to stay longer. Intuition is one thing, and vigilance is another.

Nodding to the red hood, he continued walking into the rain.

When she walked about 20 meters away, she looked back, and he was no longer there.

In fact, she now suspects that the Red Hood is a vigilante, just a lesser-known one.

Just like Batman, this Gotham strange talk has never been seen by most people, but Cardy's people are a small number of people.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Batman should be quite satisfied with the self-defense state of the bottom of the city, and he is willing to remind them occasionally.

Like Red Hood.

According to my best friend’s suggestion, I still separated the chapters, and she told me that 8000 words in one breath would be stressful hahaha
