[Comprehensive British and American] No.1 grid

A Christmas tree as high as two fireplaces has stood beside the fireplace in the living room since a few days ago, and the fir tree’s posture has been fixed at this moment forever. Neon lights are wrapped around the tree body, and the branches are in full bloom, diffusing colorful halos.

The gift boxes entrenched at the bottom of the tree tacitly piled up the square-inch carpet overnight, and the various packaging bags and bows made in different ways dazzled the eye.

"It seems that I got up quite early?"

Although it was late in the winter morning, it was already bright at this time.

Dick tidied himself up properly, only because the hair that was still curled up when he got up just couldn't be pressed down submissively.

The restaurant downstairs was quiet, and the aroma of black tea wafted faintly from the kitchen. Looking at the clock, he immediately realized that there was still about an hour before the morning would be ready.

He hadn't woken up yet, and had to blink his eyes all the time to see what was in front of him clearly. Dick walked slowly holding on to the armrest, and sat down on the sofa casually.

The coolness of the early morning came from the window, which quickly woke him up completely.

Dick scratched his hair in doubt, stood up and walked to the window, and said to himself, "Why is the window that was closed last night open now?"

The air is fresh, and the sun rises slowly in the cloudless sky without shelter, watching everything on the ground warmly.It didn't look dazzling when looking directly at it. He looked out of the window and suddenly felt a figure approaching from a distance.

"morning."

Footsteps were running at an even speed, and Steve noticed the existence of the young Robin, so he accelerated and gradually approached the window, and wiped his face with the towel draped over his shoulders breathlessly.

Wearing only a dark vest, he was running around the outside of the manor where the snow had not yet melted.

Shallow footprints have stepped on a trail in a messy way, proving that the man has been running for a while.

At this time, the vest was completely soaked from the sweat from the morning exercise, and the front of the vest clearly outlined the outline of the chest, and the strong lines made Dick look at it enviously for a long time.

"Well, good morning!" Greeted energetically, the young Robin stretched lazily, and asked inadvertently: "What do you want to eat later? Alfred likes to make English breakfast very much recently, The sausage and boiled beans were particularly good.”

"Then I'm looking forward to it." Hearing this, Steve smiled and walked into the room, planning to take a quick shower.

"It's hard work, and you insist on exercising so hard on Christmas morning?" Dick raised his eyebrows, looking at his movements and capable muscle lines, it seemed that he had made up his mind.

When he came downstairs after taking a shower, Aerys was already sitting at the dining table, stealthily wiping a piece of toast, trying to fill his stomach first.

On the table was steaming hot morning tea in pots. There were three small pots of cappuccino and black tea, and they were exuding tempting aromas.The butler walked out of the kitchen with a dining cart containing white plates and exquisite small pots. After setting the plates, he distributed the rich tomato sauce and soybeans on each plate.

The overwatered broccoli is dotted around the plain white porcelain. After that, the full-bodied sausage and bacon pressed with the golden fried egg together become the most attractive part of the porcelain plate.

Steve rubbed his stomach that was beginning to growl uncontrollably, feeling complicated.

Thank God, he had never imagined that a breakfast could be so exquisite and delicious before.Looking at Alfred who was still humming a little tune in a happy mood, the captain seemed to have noticed a truth.

Maybe the butler is the boss-level figure in this family?

Appearing in the restaurant almost in time, Bruce paused at the door after seeing Alfred's expression before nodding to several people and taking his seat.

"Punctuality is a virtue." He didn't specify who he was speaking to, but everyone knew that Bruce was explaining his routine to the butler.

Although he did go to the bat cave to work for a while last night after everyone went to the room to sleep after twelve o'clock before going to rest.

"Yes, Master Bruce, you always have your own reasons."

Sitting in front of his own breakfast, Steve blinked more in agreement with his conclusion.

Iris and Dick, who also prefer peach jam, are arguing over a jam knife at this time, and no one will let the other naturally go to rescue Bruce.

Hmph, they have always supported the housekeeper, wanting Batman to stop overstretching his body so much.

Helplessly, he didn't say anything, Steve just looked at his plate, and calmly took a piece of slightly burnt croissant.

After putting down the tableware and washing his hands under the loving gaze of the butler, the first person who couldn't wait was naturally the young Robin. He ran towards the Christmas tree in the living room with a clear purpose.

The cashmere carpet is warm and comfortable to step on, and the wine-red veins reflect the layered fir wood, and the presents are stacked there, waiting for their owners to unwrap themselves.

Dick picked all kinds of gifts, and soon the boxes and paper bags piled up disorderly became several piles, each pile had the same owner.

"The new sports gloves, I've wanted them for a long time, Batman!"

"Oh, the hand-knitted scarf and hat, I like the dark blue and black color scheme!" He squinted at Iris with a smile, "It's a beautiful style, thank you!"

"Well, this is - a limited edition 1:1 model?" Steve couldn't help observing his facial expression, which made Dick quickly guess that it was a gift from him.

And the young Robin deliberately maintained the same expression, and played around for a while before showing that he actually loved this gift in his heart!

"Then this month's snack coupon is Alfred's?" He picked up a smooth card with some doubts, "Uh, what does this mean?"

"This store is located in Gotham City." Alfred said with a smile, remembering: "I still learned a lot of crafts from this old friend. With this card, I can Get the monthly snacks directly at their home."

"Everyone's gift I prepared is this card, but it took me a lot of effort."

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this this This is this "

Dick, who is obsessed with desserts, is immersed in the ocean of sweetness.

Aerys couldn't hold back for a long time, she almost finished her plate, and rushed towards the pile of presents in a hurry.

The housekeeper's gift was easy to identify, and they were all packed in the same way, so the girl took it apart first and put it aside.

"Let's unpack this small one first?" Every gift box is a secret, and she carefully unwrapped the ribbon and wrapped them up, "Well, it looks small, but it's quite dense?"

When the heavy box was opened, there was a bunch of car keys inside.

"!" Looking at the shiny new key with many meanings in surprise, Aerys lifted it tremblingly: "Bruce?!"

"For transportation." Drinking coffee without sugar for no reason, the very refreshing taste washed away the fatigue in the mind.Bruce said casually, waving his hands, "The new coupe, suitable for your model, Merry Christmas."

"...Merry Christmas." After being surprised for a while, the girl reluctantly accepted this gift that she hadn't expected at all. You must know that her driver's license was just obtained two days ago.

"I always feel that with this foundation, I won't be surprised when I disassemble the next two."

The game console given by Dick made her play with great interest for a while, until she couldn't put it down.

So this last one is Steve's gift?

The box is very large, but the first thing that catches the eye is a book with a very domestic packaging style. It can only be seen that it is a rectangular object that is probably a book.

"This is what Natasha asked me to bring you, eh, the Halloween special?" Steve raised his hand.

"Really?!" Iris couldn't help but cast a guilty look at Steve, who didn't seem to know what it was, and the latter looked back with a dazed look.

Uh, Natasha, who is the closest to the Avengers in the circle, and to be precise, is one of them, really brought a lot of long-awaited spiritual food to their hungry fans.

In particular, the realistic daily painting style makes them think that the daily life of the Avengers is just like the one described in the article.

Art always comes from life and is higher than life, and it is true.

"Below, um—" Staring blankly at the neat row of crystal balls, almost all the ones she picked up and played with that day were included, as well as some new ones that he thought he would like, For example, the "Antarctic" with chubby and cute penguins is also placed inside.

"There's absolutely no need to buy that—" She twitched her fingers a little awkwardly, scanning all the crystal balls with complicated eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Obviously, this was nothing compared to the value of the sports car Bruce gave, and she suppressed the inexplicable feeling of discomfort in her heart, and she didn't show it on the surface at all.

In fact, she had made up her mind that she didn't even plan to drive this sports car. This car was destined to lie in the garage and eat ashes.

"Huh? I saw that you always played with them that day, and you still looked back at them reluctantly when you went out?" Steve touched her head in surprise, and at the same time picked up the one with the word "Hong Kong" "I'm still wondering why you don't buy it if you like it?"

"Well, it's, it's not unnecessary——" he said with a blushing face, it turned out that he had noticed all his actions.

Aerys sighed, finding the reason for doing so completely inexplicable.

Because she didn't even know why she did it.

"Because I like it, I can see them all the time when I buy them. How can this be considered superfluous?" Steve said with a smile, and as he spoke, he looked at the girl with a hint of distress.

"..." Bruce and Dick, who couldn't understand this development at all, could only look at the eyes they exchanged, and the butler who understood it was only more distressed than the man.

"But—" It's not necessary.

These four words always echoed in her mind, like a lingering spell.

"For example, it's like our breakfast." Alfred walked up to her at some point, and Iris, who was sitting cross-legged on the mat, looked up at him, "Not everyone is free to do it. It’s like this, and most people wouldn’t want to make a breakfast like this even if they had the time.”

"But this is what I like, so I did it." The butler's wise eyes looked closely at himself, not letting the girl escape, "Three meals a day in the manor are all from me. Hands, every meal is infused with my heart and blood."

"The time when I can see Miss Iris and dine with the young masters is the most satisfying moment for me."

"...I see, Alfred." Iris nodded silently, turned around and grabbed Steve's arm. The real state of mind that doesn't match the expression on the face, "I-like, these crystal balls."

"Each one has different likes, and it's really great to be able to put one set there."

It's really great that I can meet you.

The author has something to say: 5.21, bow~

It's great to meet you all here
