The Princess Diaries [Comprehensive British and American]

A huge dark cloud quietly floated in the sky, blocking the beautiful moonlight.

The cold wind howled and blew across the roof.

Adele hugged her knees with both hands, and sat on the edge of the roof, her loose eyesight gradually sank in the dark night.

Ever since Jason left, Adele's heart has been hurting.

Sometimes it's lighter, like being stepped on over and over again by a cat with its fluffy paws; sometimes it's heavier, like being punched with a combination of punches and slashed twice by Damian without mercy.

The body is not injured, and this level of pain is still tolerable, but the irritability and desire to destroy that accompany the pain have spread to an unbearable level. Coupled with the countless thoughts and emotions brought by the wind from afar, all kinds of emotions are messed up mixed together, covering Adele's eyes, binding her hands, plugging her mouth and nose, entwining her heart...

suffocate her.

Just when Adele was thinking about doing something to change this passive situation, she heard the sound of gliding through the wind behind her.

Batman lands on the roof.

"I already know," Batman said straight to the point, "You—"

The accumulated emotions found a small vent. Adele stood up abruptly and threw herself into Batman's arms. She put her forehead on his cold breastplate, wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly, her voice aggrieved, "Father! I feel uncomfortable and my heart hurts. What's going on?"

Batman's ready words were pushed back into his stomach by Adele's hug, he was taken aback for a moment, then he sighed, and patted the girl's slender back, "It's because I have a heart, so I feel uncomfortable. "

Adele shook her head, expressing her understanding.

"Your mother never had a heartache," Batman murmured after a moment's thought, "until she..."

It was as if a gust of wind had swept past, blowing away the last covering of the mist.

Although Batman didn't say the full sentence, Adele got it.

——until she really fell in love with him.

If you like someone, you will worry about gains and losses because of the other person's performance.

I am afraid that he will be angry, afraid that he will be troubled, and afraid that he will refuse.

Don't dare to be presumptuous, dare not be arrogant, and be trembling.

This is a very common thing, people are always tempted sometimes.

But Adele is meeting for the first time, she has no experience.

Adele didn't go out for two days, and she shut herself off.

Damian was going crazy, he felt like he was split in two, one half was missing Jason more and more day by day, he was crazy about him and banged against the wall for him, and the other half was so angry that he wanted to kill.

"Open the door! I know you're home! Don't hide inside and make no noise!"

Damian banged on the door.

"Don't you like Todd! Go and seduce him and let him confess to you! As Aphrodite's daughter, you can't even handle a man, it's too bad!"

Adele's listless voice sounded: "Love cannot be forced, just like you love him, but he doesn't love you..."

"I don't love him!" Damian retorted angrily.

"Then he doesn't love me either," Adele said heartbroken, "he rejected me."

Damian hates iron and steel, "He thinks you lied to him, just explain it clearly!"

"When did I lie to him?" Adele was aggrieved.

"Can the two of you open the door to face each other while chatting? Do you have to shout through the door?"

The door next door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Tim poked his head sleepily against the head of the chicken coop. His brows were gloomy, "Please take care of me! I just fell asleep for 5 minutes!"

"What's so distressing about you" was clearly written in Damian's eyes.

As for Adele, she never opened the door.

Poor Tibbo was abandoned by his brothers and sisters.

"Aren't you going to the playground today?" Tim changed his strategy. "It's already ten o'clock, why don't you start yet? Or are you booking the venue? That's so boring. The playground is only interesting if there are many people."

"The event has been cancelled," Damian said with a gloomy look, "how can we play after all this!"

It is precisely because of this that I want to play!It might be good to relax.

Tim compromised, he let out a long sigh, "Wait, I'll contact Jason."

"Why did you contact him?" Damian looked disgusted on the surface, but was actually elated.

Tim smiled slightly: "Contact him to take you away."

Yet Tim failed.

The person who answered the phone was Roy. He said that Jason and Starfire had gone to space for a mission and were not in Gotham.

Tim: "..."

Tim: "What the hell is he thinking! Going away at this time? Tell him not to come back! By the time he comes back, the earth will have been destroyed!"

Roy was taken aback, "What happened?"

"It's nothing..." Tim shook his head in frustration, "When he comes back, you ask him to come to Wayne Manor, he will know what's going on."

After hanging up the phone, Tim turned his head and saw Damian's dark face.

"I can't help it," Tim shrugged. "Who knows where he went."

"I don't believe there is only one way. Why do they have to torment me when they are dating?!" Damian rolled up his sleeves and rushed to the next door aggressively. Adele Wayne! Just tell me—huh?"

The bedroom was empty, the window was open a slit, and the curtains were blown up by the breeze.

Adele is gone.

Fulian Building.

Although his face was blushing with embarrassment, the security guard dutifully stopped Adele from the turnstile, who had neither an appointment nor a key card.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" The security guy stammered, "Today is not an open house day, so, so you can't go in."

Adele never expected that her pass in Fulian Building would expire after only a few days.

Apart from her father, is there any reliable man in this world?

"I'm not here to visit, I'm here to find someone." Adele said patiently. Of course, she can break in directly, but this is Tony's territory. Once the aura is opened, it will cause a sensation and it will not end well. "I'm looking for Tony, I..."

"I know your purpose, and Mr. Stark would be very happy to sign such a beautiful lady as you," the security guard explained tirelessly, "but today is not a visit day, so please don't disturb his work."

Adele: "...what are you talking about?"

Adele came to Tony because she wanted to treat him like a tree hole and confide in her troubles, but now she's doing well, she hasn't vomited yet, and her anger has gathered again.

Just when she was about to explode, there were brisk footsteps behind her, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Stark!" The security guard breathed a sigh of relief, "This lady is looking for you."

Adele turned to look at Tony, "Tony! I—"

Tony raised his eyebrows, with undisguised surprise in his eyes, he whistled, but suddenly felt that something was not right.

"Wait," Tony frowned, "Did I see you somewhere?"

... Apart from my father, there is really no other reliable man in this world!

Adele reported her family name blankly: "Adele Wayne."

Adele: "..."

Tony: "..."

Adele: "?"

Tony: "... who are you?"

"I'm Adele!" Adele puffed up her cheeks angrily, "A few months ago you still wanted to be my father, but today you don't know me!"

The security guard's expression became indescribable in an instant. He shivered for a moment, and his eyes drifted to the flaming little pepper on his head who was approaching quickly with his high heels.

"No, no, no! Wait a minute!" Tony opened his eyes wide in horror, "Adele? You... I... Am I missing ten years?"

Adele: "Hehe."

"You grow up too fast." Tony couldn't laugh or cry, "I thought you were still a little girl after breaking the shell."

"This is my original age. If you're not used to it..." Adele curled her lips, snapped her fingers, and turned back to the original short person, "How about this?"

"Adele?!" Pepper asked hesitantly, "It's you? Why..."

"Pepper!" Adele hugged Pepper's waist.

"Long time no see." Pepper smiled softly, she rubbed Adele's long hair, "Stop standing here, let Tony accompany you to play, he's fine today."

Tony nodded vigorously, "Yes, I'm very free today!"

After the three left, the security guard pushed back the jaw that fell to the ground.

"Just get used to it," the colleague patted him on the shoulder. "Last time, Loki turned into a beautiful woman to seduce Mr. Stark, which caused him to be beaten up by Ms. Potts. We won't be surprised if anything happens after that." gone."

Security guard: "..." Can you play like this?

Pepper still has a job, so she left after asking about Adele's recent situation.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Tony took two sips of iced Coke with one hand, loosened his tie with the other, and said with a smile, "Every time you come to me, you are either wronged or run away from home in confusion. What? Who bullied you?"

"No one bullies me," Adele said sullenly, "I seem to like someone, but he doesn't like me."

Tony almost spat out the Coke, "Is there anyone who doesn't like you? No, who do you like?"

"Isn't this a normal thing?" Adele gave Tony a strange look, "I'm not a dollar bill, even if it's a dollar bill, some people might dislike it."

Tony: "But..."

But you are the daughter of the God of Love and Beauty, and you are the Marysu who is to see who falls, no one can withstand the attack of your appearance!

Adele shook her head, "Not necessarily."

Under my mother's halo, my father has stood firm for more than ten years without wavering.

Tony: "..."

Although he doesn't like Bruce, he has to praise that this man is too powerful, if it were him, he would have been unable to handle it.

Adele looked sleepy, "He just doesn't like me, and I can't help it. Feelings cannot be forced."

"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe people don't want to be labeled a lolicon," Tony handed another glass of Coke to Adele, "so who do you really like?"

"Also," Tony continued, "tell me the cause and effect, so that I can analyze it for you."

Adele: "...Okay."

During the process of Adele's narration, Tony hesitated to speak several times, and finally endured until the words fell. He was finally liberated, grabbed the cushion to cover his face, and let out a muffled laugh.

Adele: "..." This is so funny!

She grabbed the cushion and threw it at Tony.

"You are so cute and silly."

Tony caught the cushion and embraced it together with the one in his hand, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, shook his head, "I never said I didn't like you from the beginning to the end, what are you guessing? "

"Then why didn't he confess?" Adele frowned, and unconsciously pressed her slightly throbbing chest, "It's useless for me to take the initiative. If you want to break the spell, he has to take the initiative—"

"Wait," Tony interrupted Adele's defense, he looked at her seriously, and asked, "Are you angry because he didn't take the initiative to confess and break the spell as soon as possible, or are you sad because he doesn't like you? "

Without thinking about it, Adele said directly, "Of course I'm sad that he doesn't like me."

"Then your performance just now is easy to be misunderstood," Tony, who has a full-level love skill, advises novice Adele, "Remember not to say such things in front of him."

Adele nodded with half understanding.

"He didn't confess because he was very cautious about his feelings."

Tony began to analyze, "On the one hand, he doesn't want you to think that he confessed because he wanted to lift the spell; on the other hand... your aura is really troublesome sometimes, and it will make people confused whether liking you is caused by the aura. If it is affected, it is still a decision made independently in a waking state."

Adele was a little confused, "Is this important? Don't they all like me?"

"Of course not," Tony sighed. "You also said that liking cannot be forced. On the premise of agreeing with this point of view, do you think it is forced to rely on the influence of aura to make someone show favor to you?"

Adele was slightly taken aback.

Tony continued his efforts, "Aside from talking about these things, let me ask you one more thing. At that time, you could obviously use your charm to seduce him to confess to you. This is very easy for you now, right? Why didn't you What to do?"

Adele's expression changed, "Because... that... doesn't count..."

"Aren't you very clear?" Tony spread his hands and shrugged.

Adele nestled on the sofa with her knees in her arms, and stared blankly for a long time.

Tony took a shower, changed into casual clothes, finished reading a report, and came back slowly with takeaway.

Adele finally moved, she stood up suddenly, grabbed the sweet Coke on the coffee table that had long been stagnant, and drank it in one gulp, then she stretched herself, opened the space door with a single hand, and jumped went in.

"Thanks, I'm leaving now! I'll come to play with you tomorrow!" Adele's voice came from far away from the door.

Tony lay lazily on the sofa, picked out a piece of fried chicken wing and drank it. He said vaguely, "You will definitely not be free tomorrow."

"... Forget it, it's nice to be young."

At dinner time, Jason returned to Earth.

As soon as he landed, his cell phone rang crazily as if he had epilepsy, text messages followed one after another, dozens of missed calls, and he almost got stuck.

What's going on here!Is it the end of the world?

Jason poked open the apps with the little red dot in horror to check them one by one.

The first is SMS.

Dick sent a large number of ahhhh and ellipsis, removed these useless characters that interfered with the line of sight, and extracted the effective information sandwiched in them, roughly meaning: You escaped to outer space just like that!Damian thinking you're going crazy!Adele was heartbroken and hid in her bedroom, not even eating!

Seeing "Damian misses you crazy", Jason's back went numb, his headache was splitting, and he thought that after Damian recovered, he might come to me with a knife to fight.

Seeing "Adele doesn't eat when she's broken in love", Jason frowned, and muttered softly, "Broken in love???"

Then there are missed calls.

Roy hit ten times, Dick five times, Tim twice, Damian and some unnamed number (Bruce) each once.

Others wanted to ask what Jason could probably guess, so he decided to call Roy back first.

As soon as the busy tone rang, the phone was connected, and Jason asked straight to the point, "What's the matter?"

"You're finally back!" Roy heaved a sigh of relief, "Dick is about to blow up my house...they're looking for you, so you should go to Wayne Manor and have a look."

The corner of Jason's mouth twitched: "...Just because of this, you called me ten times?"

"Otherwise?" Roy's tone was very serious, "Dick is about to blow up my house."

Jason was silent for a few seconds, then hung up the phone decisively.

It is impossible to go home, and it is impossible to go home in this life.

But... it's time to see.

Jason cautiously sent Tim a text message: [I'm back, how is she? 】

Tim may have bought a house on his mobile phone, and replied in seconds: [Run away from home and haven't returned yet. 】

Jason: […]

Tim: [Don't leave the ellipsis, just say what you plan to do.I've let you know about Bruce, and he won't care. 】

Jason stared at the text message from Tim for a few minutes, and slowly moved his thumb from the touch screen to the sleep button.He pressed down hard, and the screen fell into darkness with a crisp "click".

Throwing his backpack over his shoulders and putting on his sweater and hat, Jason rubbed his eyes and strode forward.

When he got home, after taking a shower, Jason wandered from the bathroom to the living room with a towel around him, took the mobile phone that was thrown on the TV cabinet, walked backwards to the sofa, and turned over to lie on it.

No one contacted him, and no new information was received on all social software.

Jason opened the address book, turned to Adele's number, and poked into the text message interface. He typed and deleted it. After repeating this dozens of times, he wrote a short sentence: [Where are you? 】

After getting back the abandoned memory from Adele, Jason found that there was a little ghost in his memory.

He clearly knew that the ghost that traveled back and forth in his memory was not in the same timeline as he was at the time, but was added later.It's like opening the software for making a video, dragging the progress bar to a key point, and editing a certain character into it bit by bit.

But what does it matter?Even if he knew it was fake, he would still be happy for her appearance, and he couldn't help thinking "what would it be like if she was really there".

I want to share with her everything I once thought was interesting, and I want to show her pictures of the earth taken from outer space.

The little troublemaker was like a virus, inadvertently invading Jason's world, and when he came to his senses, her sense of presence was already strong everywhere.

When exactly...

Sea of ​​flowers under the moon?

Messy painted eggshells?

Small clusters of nebulae swirling in a gift box?

A fluffy bird next to a chandelier?

An unexpected collision while patrolling the corner at night?

The spinning princess skirt in the fairy tale world?

Halloween's arrogant "trick or treat"?

or even earlier...

No, you can't think about this matter carefully, otherwise you won't be able to take off your criminal hat :)

Adele didn't reply, and Jason was so hungry that he couldn't wait for the "ding ding" notification sound from the phone.

He didn't want to wait any longer, so he just called Adele directly.

Prompt to shut down.

Jason frowned, and sent Tim a message: [Haven't come home yet? 】

Tim replied again in seconds: [No. 】

Jason turned over, put on his clothes and helmet and went downstairs, riding a motorcycle into the dense night.

He drove through the streets and alleys, and stopped at the door of a bar hidden in a dark alley.

Of course Adele wasn't here, the bar wasn't her favorite place to go, she came here just to get Jason's autograph.

Declining the boss's invitation to "have a drink", Jason continued to ride around on the scooter.

Passing by the Wayne Tower and the Gotham Museum, Jason finally stopped at the edge of the sea of ​​flowers created by Adele that stretched almost the entire block.

Jason took out his phone and sent a text message: [Do you know where she went? 】

Tim: 【I suspect she went back to Olympus. 】

Jason: [? ? ? 】

Tim: [Just guess, didn't she come to Bruce to get her power back? Now that she got her power and Ares was killed, why is she still here?You don't like her, if I do, I'll pack up and go home. 】

Jason: [Don't make trouble, I know you can locate her. 】

Tim: [… oh.Give. 】

Tim sent a location, Jason glanced at it, and slowly straightened his back.

this place……

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Gotham City Library.

The watery moonlight passed through the window, illuminating the slender figure leaning on the bookcase.

Adele was holding a TN notebook and was fascinated.

Jason approached silently, and he stretched out his hand from behind, covering the girl's eyes.

"This is probably the only place in Gotham that won't be patronized by thieves." Jason whispered, "They're too lazy to read."

Adele grabbed Jason's wrist and pressed down, "It's better to say that there is nothing valuable to steal here."

Jason thought for a while, "There is a painting by Monet on the wall, which was taken by the old man, but everyone thought it was a fake."

Adele slipped out from under Jason's arm, holding the notebook and took two steps back, feeling the back of her waist against the edge of the borrowing table, "Why are you here?"

"Looking for you." Jason approached Adele slowly, and said bluntly, "I have something to tell you."

"It's better for you to think about it first." Adele subconsciously stepped back, but there was no way to retreat, so she simply sat on the table, her eyes wandering over the cover of the book, "After all——"

Jason raised his finger and pressed it lightly on Adele's lips, "Shh... I've calmed down enough and thought it through."

The distance between the two was very close, and Adele blinked, seeing the tiny fluff on Jason's face and slightly trembling eyelashes.

"Oh..." She draws her voice out, "So you are Loli—"

Jason's helpless eyes flashed before his eyes, and then Adele's vision was shrouded in darkness, and the rest of the words were forced to swallow back.

"...whatever you say."

There was a warm and soft touch on the lips, like a bird's wing brushing gently.

I should be bolder, Adele thought, reaching out her arms and groping around Jason's neck, clasping the back of his head and pressing against her.

The notebook sandwiched between the two slipped to the ground, the pages spread out, and the gilded roses on the kraft paper shone brightly in the moonlight.

"...Let me confess first, maybe this can dispel his doubts and anxiety."

"Boys who feel insecure are really lovable..."

"As for Damian... well, whatever."
