[Zhongyingmei] How difficult is it to become a reliable adult

April hid in the small space under the podium and heard the whole process of Damian and Jonathan helping her deal with the Gleasons.

These are two kind people.

The little girl is moved, and just rightly ignores Damian's mean words to the Gleasons.

She crawled out from under the podium that was just enough to fit her, and said to the two boys, "Thank you for helping me a lot."

Three pairs of eyes looked at each other, and three children with hidden ghosts observed each other.

The taller boy wore a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses, covering half of his face.

He looked like an ordinary boy from a small town, with rustic and bulky glasses, and the sneakers on his feet were not the most popular style in Xicheng School.

Strangely enough, whenever she saw him, April could think of sun-baked haystacks on a farm in the country.

To be more specific, it is like the straw bed that grandpa helped Heidi make in the small attic, exuding a warm atmosphere.

This is far from his external impression.

Aprili patted the gray on her hair and shoulders, "Thank you, I am Aprili, Aprili Magdalena."

"Jonathan Kent." Jonathan held out his hand to shake Aprily's.

Damian snorted coldly.

Jonathan glared at him, "Be nice, Damian, the first step in meeting a new friend is a decent self-introduction."

"I don't think she will be my new friend." Damian raised his eyebrows, "Besides, didn't you already tell her my name?"

His suspicious eyes glanced at Ai Puli, "Normal students don't play hide-and-seek with two weirdos in the teaching building."

"Friendly!" Jonathan emphasized uselessly.

He explained to April in a "whispering voice" that everyone present could hear, "Don't pay attention to him, he is just a childish and mean person. But I swear he definitely means well."

Damian's sneer got louder.

Aprily blinked slowly, "...Really?"

The boy gave her the feeling of some kind of strong spice that April had never smelled, mixed with some metallic and vague breath of blood.

Surprisingly, Aprile didn't dislike the complex taste.

"Anyone with eyes should know that the couple is weird," Damian said bluntly, "It's even weirder to be chased into school by weird people."

"Don't be so suspicious." Jonathan glared, in exchange for a wave to dismiss the child.

Ai Puli explained in a low voice, "It's actually the first time I've seen them, and they want to adopt me."

adoption.

Jonathan keenly grasped the point, and the boy looked at Aprily with a guilty look, "Sorry, we didn't mean to mention this."

"It's okay, I don't care about these." Aprily removed a ponytail that was squeezed loose, and quickly tied it up again.

She packed her schoolbag and was about to say goodbye to the two kind-hearted people, "Thank you, I'm going home, otherwise I won't be able to catch the school bus..."

"The last school bus left 10 minutes ago." Damian flatly broke April's fantasy.

Jonathan and his partner whispered, "How do you know the school bus schedule, and you haven't taken it before."

Damian was a little absent-minded, "Humans have eyes to observe, and a brain to think, Joe."

Jonathan smiled awkwardly, he turned to Aprily, "How do you go back?"

"I live in the Magdalena Orphanage on the outskirts of Gotham." Aprily asked. "Do you know of any buses that go to the western outskirts of Gotham?"

Jonathan scratched the little curly hair on his head in embarrassment, he was startled, and stared at Damian brightly.

Damian had a chill, and he quickly understood what he meant in the country boy's eyes, "No, stop your unrealistic fantasies—"

Jonathan interrupted his friend with a cheer, "I know someone who can help you."

Damian held his forehead with a twisted expression.

Ai Puli stood in the alley, buttoning the shoulder strap of her schoolbag.Damian was leaning against the wall with his schoolbag, tapping his fingers impatiently on his forearm.

Little Jonathan asked them to wait here for a while, and he went to find someone to help take Aprile home.

Without Jonathan as a conciliator, Damian revealed some fierce temperament.Friends are away, he is a taciturn boy.

Ai Puli looked left and right, but couldn't find anything to talk to him, so she had to wait for Jonathan to bring the rescuers.

A red shadow fell into the alley like a red meteor.

The boy in the red cape wearing jeans and sneakers showed a bright smile at Ai Puli, "Hello, I heard you need help?"

Damian's face was a bit horrible, he turned his head and left, "Since the helper has arrived, there is no need for me to stay."

He walked away quickly, and the boy in the red cape snorted loudly, making sure Damian could hear him as he left.

The boy in the red cloak said kindly, "I'm Superboy, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Aprily's eyes fell on the top of the self-proclaimed Superboy, from top to bottom, bottom to top.

This is a boy who grew up in love at first glance, confident and cheerful, and learned to face the world in a gentle way from his parents.

He was like a heap of corn in the summer sun, the thick bed of straw on which Heidi lay on her stomach when she looked out of the little window.

...What a deja vu description.

Aprile looked at him a few more times.

It's hard to imagine that she couldn't remember Jonathan's face now, only remembering that he was wearing a pair of large black-rimmed glasses.

Regardless of his looks and build, he couldn't match the Superboy in front of him.

Ai Puli tentatively asked, "Where's Jonathan?"

"He's going back first." Superboy gave a perfunctory reason, "Uh, his house's access control time is coming."

Ai Puli's mood is hard to describe, and she believes in her own feelings.The eyes can deceive themselves sometimes, which she learned at a very young age.

She decided to understand Jonathan's cross-dressing and cooperate with his performance, "Can you take me home, I live in the Magdalena Orphanage in the western suburbs of Gotham."

"No problem." Superboy squatted down, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "Do you mind if I carry you on my back? If so, I'll find a hanging chair."

"I'm only six years old," April said bluntly, "I'm very light, can't you carry it?"

This time it was Superboy's turn to choke. "Six? You don't look like that at all... I mean, West Side School doesn't have kids that young."

He thought she was just younger in appearance.

"Today is my first day at school," said Ai Puli. "The principal said that I am the youngest student in Westside School. The youngest student was two months older than me."

Not only for this reason.thought Superboy.

Ai Puli's language expression ability and logical thinking far exceed those of her peers. At this time, a normal six-year-old child still likes to listen to stories and retell them.

Superboy has no doubts that Aprile can tell her story to others.Her performance was closer to a mid-teens.

"Are we leaving?" Aprily shook her hand.

Superboy came back to his senses, he nodded, "Come on."

Aprile lay on his back, grabbing his shoulders.

As if he was carrying a bag of cotton wool, he stood up with April on his back and tiptoed twice.

In another blink, April found herself traveling through the clouds.Her eyes widened, and she couldn't help reaching out her hand.

What slipped through the fingers was the wind.

The sun was setting above the clouds, and they were in a world of orange, and even Superboy's curly hair was coated with a warm orange.

His red cloak was padded under Ai Puli, and the boy's voice was full of pride and joy, "I'm holding you, don't worry about falling."

Ai Puli looked down, and the city was faintly outlined like a chessboard under the clouds, and then there was a large sea.

They fly over the subway bridge, the traffic on the bridge is a colony of industrious ants, shuttling between Metropolis and Gotham.The longest suspension bridge in the world was quickly left behind.

Superboy paused in the air for a moment, "Where to go?"

"Well," April thought for a moment, "can you fly down and let me see the location?"

The two children flew to the side of the street sign to identify the direction, Aprily commanded Superboy, "Go ahead, turn right at the intersection."

Superboy drops Aprily at the intersection in front of the orphanage, "Need me to walk you in?"

"No need," Ai Puli rubbed her face excitedly, unable to hide the corners of her lips, "I can go back by myself, thank you!"

Superboy hangs in mid-air, without April holding him down, his red cape unfurling freely in the wind, a red flag.

He waved to Aprily, "Nice to meet you, see you next time!"

A small red meteor flew high into the sky and disappeared from Aprile's sight.

The last school bus from Xicheng School just stopped at the intersection, and Ai Puli had no time to savor the joy of flying on the clouds, so she trotted all the way, pretending to have just gotten off the school bus and ran into the orphanage.

Jonathan and Damian, Superboy and Robin, the sons of Superman and Batman.They have a secret base underwater in Morrison Bay between Metropolis and Gotham, which is the headquarters of the extraordinary twins.

Most of the time when they are not on duty and wearing uniforms, they will be training in the base, eating snacks, and watching small fish swimming by outside the window.

Damian is the former, Jonathan is the latter two.

After sending April back to the orphanage, Jonathan flew back to the headquarters of the Astonishing Twins.

Damian sat on the couch in his Robin uniform, fiddling with his computer.

"Don't you train?" Jonathan asked. "I thought you were lifting a hundred times a day."

"It's three hundred strokes." Damian corrected, "This is just the most insignificant part of Robin's training. To become a qualified superhero, you still have to learn a lot."

"It's a cliché," Jonathan pouted, and leaned over to the sofa, "What are you investigating?"

He saw the picture on the computer, "Magdalena Orphanage, are you investigating Epley?"

"There are some things I care about, I'm not as dull as you." Damian's fingers fluttered on the keyboard, one file after another was called up by him and popped up on the screen, and then was covered by new files.

"Are you too suspicious?" Jonathan unwrapped a bag of potato chips and sat next to Damian. "I don't think there is anything suspicious about her except that she is a little smarter and the person chasing her is a little weird."

"The place you described can't be called unsuspicious." Damian said "tsk", "She may not be a bad guy, whatever, there are still many things worth noting."

"Especially that couple, they're the big show."

Damian stared at the computer, and as the results of the investigation gradually became clear, he smiled excitedly like a wild animal discovering its prey, "Ha, I knew that the home address they registered was fake."

Jonathan looked at the information on the computer with him, "Is there anything I can do?"

"Yes." Damian pointed at the desk, "Go and write your composition."

Jonathan's face collapsed.

Damian said coldly, "If you are punished by the teacher to clean the classroom tomorrow, I won't wait for you."

The superboy who can go to the sky and go to the sea and the mountains is dragging his heavy steps.

Kryptonians also have to write homework assigned by the teacher.
