[Comprehensive English and American] This is not a serious day-to-day

Dick asked himself, and felt that he was an enlightened man.

Thanks to Bruce's teaching, Dick is also used to preparing before taking action and knowing everything about the enemy. Rania is not an enemy, but he has also investigated her in detail before making contact, so he naturally knows how she is. living.

There are no clues about Rania's life before she settled in New York, but after New York is easy to check.

It is almost impossible for a 12-year-old girl to live alone, but Raniya seems to be very lucky. After her guardian abandoned her and ran away, a girl of unknown origin appeared next to her. She was as beautiful as her face. He took good care of Raniya, and he was not as simple as just a friend.

It is difficult for a minor to find a formal job, so she can only find some unseen jobs. She travels around the city every day, with little time to rest.

In the past three years, most of the money she earned went to repay Rania's gambling debts, and the rest was given to Rania. It can almost be said that she brought the little girl to such an age and brought her up to the present age. Soft and cute appearance.

And she herself is not much older than Rania, and in Dick's eyes, she is just a child. To him, the scene in front of her is more like a fluffy birdie rubbing against the little wolf cub who guards her. Rubbing fluff.

For such a long time, they have been living together in this city, and their importance to each other is self-evident.

Before seeing Mister, Dick was a little curious about her identity and the reason why she never left Rania—now it seems that the reason is very clear.

Rania was still looking at him silently. Compared with her peers, she was indeed not tall, and she looked even smaller when lying on the hospital bed. I wonder if it was because of the pain. She frowned slightly, her cheeks and lips There is also no blood, and the blue eyes are full of mist and wet, even if the lips are straight, they look pitiful.

Dick turned his eyes and saw Rania's hand on the quilt. The little girl's thin fingers curled up, and the fingertips turned white, obviously because of nervousness.

But even so, she didn't mean to explain or deny, she just clenched her lips stubbornly, waiting for his reaction.

This stubborn and undeniable attitude... On the contrary, it made Dick feel inexplicably familiar. Coupled with Rania's face, it was even a little sour and funny.

His tone was a little more gentle: "I see."

... If Rania knew what he was thinking, she would tell Dick that she was just panicking.

Glancing at Rania's legs, Dick was a little helpless: "I saw your picture in the news, so I came to see you."

The reversal came too fast, not long ago they were still thinking that it was best not to let Rania get close because of the insecurity of Gotham, and the little girl was admitted to the hospital in the "safe" New York soon after... from the flag stand to the fall It hasn't been a day yet.

Raniya once thought about how she would introduce Mister to Peter if she had to introduce her to Peter one day.But among the assumed identities, the option of "girlfriend" is absolutely not included.

However, the lie has already begun, so it can only continue.

Rania felt desolate in her heart, and her expression was so stiff that she held back, she thanked dryly, and whispered, "This is Mister..."

... In Dick's view, the little girl tried her best to hide her shyness, but she didn't know that the faint blush on her face had already exposed her mood, not to mention her voice was soft and timid, as if chirping The fledgling, my heart softened.

At this moment, he saw Mist beside the bed move his eyelashes, and slowly opened his eyes.

Her expression was still a little dull and tired, her eyes drifted in the air, and she glanced at Dick, that look was also very flat, as if she didn't see anyone except Rania in her eyes.

They looked at each other, and before Dick saw anything in Mister's eyes, she withdrew her gaze and lowered her head: "I'll go out for a walk, you guys talk first." Then she got up and left.

Dick felt pity for this girl who has been taking care of Rania all this time, and he felt that Rania definitely wanted to see Mister more than himself, so he smiled and said, "No, I think I have to admit that this time I It's not the right time, so let me say sorry first, and I won't take up too much of your time."

Rania: "..."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but she heard a strange sense of relief from Dick's tone...

In order to maintain the lie, Rania had mobilized all her acting skills, and was eagerly waiting to send Mist out quickly, but when she heard this sentence, her heart suddenly thumped.

She managed to maintain her expression, making Mister shake her head, walked out of the ward, and gently closed the door.

After Mist went out, Dick sat down and began to care about Rania's injury.

Because she was not very familiar with her, and Raniya felt that she wanted to maintain a ladylike appearance, so she tried to keep her words to a minimum. Dick didn't stay much, but said that he would come to see her tomorrow.

Raniya thought about the fact that he had gone back yesterday, but came to see her in a hurry from Gotham today, and felt guilty for a while.

"Thanks, but I'm really fine, it's okay." She tried to decline Dick's offer.

"Who's going to take care of you during this time?" Dick asked.

Rania replied naturally: "Mister will."

Dick looked at the calm Raniya: "..."

He felt like a light bulb shining discordantly between this young couple who depended on each other.

……

Luckily for Rania, the bookshelf fell down and was blocked by the table first, buying her a little time to climb out. In the end, it was only a broken left leg and some flesh injuries, without causing more serious injuries such as spinal injuries.

But even so, she has now become a little shrike with a broken leg, unable to fly in a short time, and can only jump around with a cane.

The worst part is that her glasses flew out because she rushed out too fast...

When the glasses flew out, Raniya felt that her heart went with it, leaving only a lifeless body...

So today her world is again filled with red floating in the blank, so that the little girl's eyes are empty, and she suspects that the position she is looking at is not the other's eyes when talking to anyone, so she has to keep her mouth shut and keep aloof, feeling her own image melancholy It was a little worse.

Fortunately, the person who came to visit her today was a little red.

In order to identify her friends, Rania gave Peter a metal badge of Iron Man as a birthday gift. The bright red color is very eye-catching, so that she can quickly recognize Peter in the crowd every time.

"Here are today's notes." Peter took out the notebook from his schoolbag, and looked at Rania sympathetically, "You can also make up the notes after you are discharged from the hospital. The next quiz is two weeks away, so there is no need to be so anxious. "

Raniya is very grateful, but this kind of worry is completely unnecessary: ​​"Thank you, but it's not my hand that I broke."

Hospital observation is actually quite boring, and Rania has no books to read, so she can only copy notes to pass the time.Her recent dream is to save money to buy a kindle, and live a happy life in the sea of ​​books. After all, physical books are too expensive, and she has no place to put the bookshelves at home.

Compared with the first visitor, the second visitor was a little more intimate-Dick not only brought fruit, but also brought them two glasses of Starbucks.

The two children immediately paid high respects to this generous gentleman.

Rania was so poor that she had never even drank this kind of junk coffee. She took the paper cup handed over by Dick and realized what it was. She had a paper cup in one hand and a straw in the other. She looked down in surprise before inserting the straw into it. Go, took a cautious breath.

She blinked.

So sweet.

"Don't know what you like, so I ordered mine," said Dick.

Unlike yesterday, the smile on his face faded, and he looked at Rania who was concentrating on drinking, as if he was thinking about something.

When Dick's eyes fell on Rania's casted leg, the thoughts that had been circling in his mind finally settled down.

Seriously, what the hell were they thinking - Gotham isn't safe, but is New York any better?Think about the Great War in New York a few years ago, think about the endless emergence of criminals in strange costumes, think about the high crime rate, at least Gotham is still under the watchful eyes of Batman and them, and New York?

"Rania, I know you may not be willing to accept this offer." He said slowly, "We saw the news, Bruce - your father is worried about you, this is not the first time New York has been seen on the news Schools are being affected by crime. Since the alien invasion of New York, there have been more and more crimes and innocent citizens in New York being affected and hospitalized. I think you have felt firsthand that New York is not safe."

"Just a proposal—would you consider coming back to Gotham with me?" he said.

… Before he finished speaking, Dick saw the boy he met at the restaurant that day raised his head with a "swish", the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and instead he stared at him with a look of shock...and some disbelief. face.

It was almost disappointment written on his face.

Dick: "..."

Ye Yi couldn't help asking himself, asking...

Then I have to admit that this proposal sounds really ignorant.

The author has something to say:

Little Spider:? ? ?

Little Spider: Gotham?

Little Spider: Safe?

Big Blue Bird: What's going on, why are you so careless, just stay still, I'm here to protect you.

Little Shrike: ...

The little shrike stuffed the black mist into the corner with a guilty conscience, shaking the fluff on his wings.

Little Shrike: Chirp.
