Shirley has definitely never dated.

Bruce, who didn't know how many times he came to the mall with her, thought firmly that in the past few days, they just changed from the mall in Manhattan to the mall in Gotham.

This time, Shirley was buying a dress—the dress she attended the auction with Tony. Although Iron Man said that he would give her the whole set, from the dress to the jewelry, Shirley still refused. She said she would buy it with Bruce.

...Although it doesn't sound too good to be Tony's female companion in a dress given by Bruce.

Of course, Bruce doesn't care where he goes on a date. In fact, as long as Shirley is on the sofa in Wayne Manor, it's fine.But he was a little curious about Shirley's obsession with shopping malls, Shirley saw through his thoughts when he tried to insinuate, she smiled and said: "Sorry, it's just a habit, shopping malls are simply paradise in the last days .”

"Heaven?"

"Water and food." Shirley shrugged, "But we can't stay for too long, many people are targeting this piece of fat."

"So you really haven't dated?" Bruce started, not wanting Shirley to think too much about that time.

"No." Shirley said, "There are zombies everywhere, you should understand after watching The Walking Dead."

At this time, the shopping guide in the store came over with a few dresses, and Bruce glanced at them indifferently, and said, "You should order a set."

"It's just flashy clothes, and I don't wear them often," Shirley said, raising her chin at the one on the right. "How about the wine red one?"

"..." Bruce frowned slightly, "It's not pretty."

In fact, it was very good-looking, with both bold red and restrained dark colors at the same time, with a slim fit and fishtail design, and a hollow design on the back, which almost exposed the entire back. He was sure that the dress would match Shirley's complexion and temperament.But since Shirley would hold Stark's arm that day, Bruce refused without hesitation.

"That black one." He finally chose a very ordinary suspender dress.

But when Shirley changed into it, Bruce suffocated. This dress, whose fabric was far superior to the others, looked so good on Shirley.

"Bruce?" Shirley tilted her head to look at him.

"...Just this one." He said reluctantly.

Bruce took over the store, but in the end he bought a dress that was not to say the most common in the store, but at least it was on the common list. The shopping guides looked at each other. It seemed that the only scandal that made him settle down seemed Not so good?

But seeing Bruce holding Shirley's clothes and waiting for her at the door of the changing room, a few of them reacted quickly and immediately understood that what he didn't like was obviously that he cared too much.

"Bruce," Shirley said to him while changing clothes, "is Peter in Gotham today?"

"I arrived in the morning and checked in at the Gotham Hotel."

"Oh, he shouldn't have..." Put on the spider uniform and run around.

"Not (yet)." Bruce said emphatically, "I hope he can manage himself."

"It might be difficult, if he sees something bad." Shirley smiled coquettishly, "Give me the clothes, just go outside and wait."

Bruce handed her the clothes. He didn't want to go out at first, but he remembered a wedding dress that he saw in the window just now, so he couldn't help but pause, said yes, then turned and walked out.

It was a very beautiful wedding dress, with a big tail that any girl would love, and it was embellished with tiny diamonds.Bruce stood in front for a long time. As soon as Shirley came out, she saw his back standing quietly like a sculpture next to the wedding dress. She hesitated for a moment and walked over.

"Bruce?"

"How are you?" Bruce said, turning around and holding her hand, he wanted to say 'then let's go', but after looking back at the wedding dress, the thought in his heart could no longer be suppressed, he clearly Clearing his throat, he asked, "Do you want to try this one?"

Shirley was stunned for a moment. She glanced at the wedding dress and then at Bruce in a daze, and whispered, "Bruce, this is the wedding dress."

"Oh, I just think you'll look good in it." Bruce tried to calmly say, "It's okay if you don't want to wear it, let's go."

"No, I am not--"

Shirley took his hand. The shopping guides didn't know what was wrong with them, but they also knew that it was best not to get involved, so they spread out and stood by the wall to give them enough space.

Shirley was completely stunned, she didn't know what Bruce meant, this was a wedding dress - he couldn't just think it looked good and wanted her to wear it, could he?But if Bruce really meant what she thought, it would be... too perfunctory?

Shirley's reaction made Bruce nervous. He wished so badly that Aff would be there, but no, it was just the two of them in the store—oh, and a few salesmen who only made the atmosphere worse.

The two looked at each other, and Bruce felt that he was really stupid, and he couldn't believe that Batman would have such a stupid day——

"Bruce," Shirley gently took his hand, his palm was a little sweaty, but it made her relax a bit, "that... I don't know what you mean, but I want to say, if you have The idea of ​​proposing—I mean, not just to me, but to anyone, anyone, man or woman—”

"To you." Bruce interrupted her, his trembling pupils fixed on her eyes, "To you, Shirley, it will only be you."

"I, I, I, I'll finish my words first..." Shirley stammered, "That's right, that's right, I think everyone needs a sense of ritual, even if it's Nick Fury—"

"I'm sorry," Bruce said quickly, "I'm sorry, really, I should—I should have prepared, flowers, fountains, lawn, uh, whatever—in a mall store anyway."

Shirley blinked dully, "So you really..."

"…Of course," Bruce whispers, "I—I thought about it." And it's been a while.

Shirley had never felt so confused and at a loss for a moment. The two were awkwardly silent for a few seconds, and finally she said: "Bruce, I, I think we should go back to Wayne Manor first?"

When the two returned to Wayne Manor, Afu was the first to notice the weird atmosphere between them. Bruce told him the matter concisely while Shirley was going to the bathroom.

Seeing Alfred's expression, Bruce groaned and covered his forehead, "I screwed up, didn't I?"

Afu tried his best to be gentle with his master, but what he said was ruthless and indifferent: "You mean, in a store in a shopping mall, under the watchful eyes of a shopping guide lady, you said nothing to Shirley. Miss Shirley proposed, and even the intention of the proposal was guessed by Miss Shirley herself? Then I have to say—yes, you messed up."

Bruce felt that unless the guys in Arkham Asylum broke out en masse, few things could match the level of despair he was feeling right now.

"What should I do……?"

"Tell her all your mental activities, sir." Aff said, "Remember everything, all, tell her, tell her actively, instead of letting her guess." Given Batman's previous convictions, he The words are especially accentuated.

Bruce nodded, he hesitated, walked up the stairs to a room that was not open to anyone except for Aff to clean, he took something from a drawer and put it in his pocket before walking out into the courtyard, he knew Shirley was waiting there.

Bruce really didn't want to screw up again, so despite his discomfort, he followed through on Aff's teaching and said before Shirley could speak, "You don't talk, listen to me, Shirley. "

"First of all, you have to understand that I—I don't mean to force you at all, and I don't know when I had this idea. It's like a natural idea that came out naturally. I just, I like that kind of , I can see your life every day when I open my eyes. Shirley, you are the only reason I can step out of the Batcave in my spare time."

"I'm not going to get married... no, no, I mean, I'm definitely going to get married in the future—with you, of course, and no one else, but not now, and getting married is too much for you and me now, and I Know."

"But I want to—I want to get engaged first, Shirley, I want you to be my fiancée." Bruce said in a steady tone, feeling that he was getting better, "I want to make sure—make sure you are still with me. By your side, and vice versa, I will always be by your side, no matter what."

...Uh, not quite right, he felt that these words didn't sound as pleasant as he had imagined?

Bruce was getting nervous again, and in fact Shirley thought he was chattering a bit like Tony now, always using dense words and logic to show that he was actually calm.But of course she couldn't say such disappointing words on this occasion.And compared to Bruce, Shirley can be said to be much calmer. She calmed down within 10 minutes after she initially guessed what Bruce might say.

"Hmm..." Shirley pursed her lips, "To be honest, I never thought about such... things as engagement and marriage." She ignored Bruce's suddenly lowered eyes, and continued, "I didn't grow up in a very good environment. Well, things didn't go that well after that, you know, the end of the world. I thought about marrying my brother separately and living together as a family, but that was just out of some kind of -- er, political correctness? Growing up, getting married , have a baby, raise a baby, die, and that's it."

"But... Bruce, after being with you, I thought about it. When watching TV dramas, I often see plots in which the hero and heroine get married and live together." She slowly recalled, those things that popped up inadvertently The insignificant thoughts that came to me gradually became clear at this time, "I often come to Wayne Manor, and I find that our relationship with them is actually similar to them, and then I think of getting married, getting married or getting engaged, just like What you said..." Shirley felt as if she was talking more and more confused, she touched her nose, "Well, I seem a little strange, I skipped our marriage and came to married life. But said Really, I've never lived that kind of life, and I don't know what we're doing now—"

She couldn't finish the sentence because she was hugged tightly by Bruce, and then the man kissed her hard on the lips, a childish kiss he rarely used, he even kissed audibly.

Then Bruce stepped back a little, took a deep breath to suppress the trembling in his voice, and said, "So, this means willing to marry me, Shirley?"

Shirley suspected that Bruce would not shake like this when facing the clown, she couldn't help laughing, and said, "When did Batman's understanding ability get so bad?"

Bruce still didn't feel relieved. He knelt down on one knee, looked up at Shirley, and tried to look as handsome and calm as usual: "Would you like to be my fiancee, Shirley?" His voice It has been suppressed to a steady tone, but his eyes are still full of hesitation and anxiety, as if only the affirmative answer can make him really feel at ease.

So Shirley gave the answer he wanted without hesitation: "Of course, I would."

When Aff knew that Bruce just knelt down and proposed in random places in the garden, there were no surprises, no flowers, no ceremony, no family and friends...he looked like he was going to pass out.

Then, the old housekeeper gave Shirley the most sincere compliment with trembling lips: "You are an angel, Miss Shirley."

Shirley: "...?"

Bruce said beside him, "Yes, of course she is."

Alfred regretted that he didn't have a stick in his hand, otherwise he would have hit Bruce hard on the back.

Shirley and Bruce didn't have an engagement ceremony, more precisely, they haven't planned to do it yet, because of the relationship between Hydra and Chris, Shirley felt that she couldn't calm down and enjoy the process of getting engaged to Bruce, so she just waited until Let's do it when things calm down.

However, there are still rings. Bruce customized a pair of silver rings. The inner circle is the other party's name and a simple bat or nightingale pattern. He thinks this is more commemorative. As for the bat ring that he bought on a whim Secretly put it in Shirley's dressing box - he didn't calm down until he returned to the Batcave, so it's fine to wear it normally, if it's an engagement or wedding, how can he wear such a strange ring!

In addition to the ring, Bruce also gave Shirley a sapphire necklace, which he took back to the room specially. It was a necklace given to his mother by his father, and it was also the favorite one of his mother during her lifetime.

When Shirley got the elegant but restrained necklace, she knew that it was not simple. The silver seat supporting the sapphire was a little worn and not shiny, which made the necklace look a little more rustic.

"Bruce—"

"This is something from my mother. She pointed it out to me when I was very young and said it was for me to give it to my bride at a future wedding." Bruce said softly, holding her hand, steel blue His eyes were full of tenderness and tenderness that seemed to overflow in the next second, "But I can't wait, I want to give it to you right now."

Bruce felt that he seemed to be very willful today, as if he wanted to use up all the willful points of his life in one day.But he didn't want to care about it, just treat it as a day of indulgence, and he doesn't need to be rational in front of Shirley. (Shirley: ??? Who said that???)

Of course, Shirley couldn't refuse, but this necklace was not suitable for wearing every day, so she put it in the system backpack, which was another form of wearing every day.

The Avengers never expected Shirley to have a silver ring on her hand after she just went to Gotham and came back. Tony almost cried out: "That black bat proposed to you?!"

"Uh..." Shirley scratched her face, "Should... be it? It's just an engagement."

"Did he not prepare a surprise?" Natasha asked suspiciously.

"No," Shirley thought for a while, and said, "Tony, didn't I tell you that I went to buy a dress with Bruce in the afternoon, and then..." She told the whole thing from beginning to end.

Iron Man who heard the whole thing was furious: "How can he be so perfunctory and casual!!" What a shame for a playboy! !

Shirley wants to say that it is not perfunctory and casual. After all, it is enough to see Batman trembling with nervousness. Baby Brucey has full flirting skills but zero love experience. Batman is far from the sweetheart. His other identity behaved so easily.

What's more, today is probably the first time that Batman was so embarrassed in front of Shirley, and it was also the first time that he was impulsive before he was fully prepared, so that he almost screwed up everything—he thought he was screwed up Everything, in fact no matter what circumstances he asked Shirley would agree to him.

"At least he got down on one knee." Shirley spoke for Bruce.

Tony yelled in dissatisfaction: "Isn't that necessary!!! Who proposes standing up?!"

Natasha, who is also a woman, and Hawkeye, who is also in a relationship, looked at Shirley at the same time. Their expressions looked like Shirley was fooled by a fool, which made her dumbfounded.

Saul was equally disappointed: "At least there must be flying petals."

Shirley glanced at his longing eyes, and said, "Don't worry, when you have a fiancée, I will tell her that she should propose to you with flying petals."

Dr. Banner asked, "What about the ceremony?"

"There will be in the future, but not now." Shirley said, she didn't explain in detail, but everyone understood, so she didn't ask.

Tony grinned, "Since that's the case, I'm even more looking forward to the day of the auction."

The corner of Shirley's mouth twitched: "...what are you going to do?"

Iron Man said proudly: "I have to let Wayne know that the Avengers are by no means easy to deal with!"

Shelly: "..."

The author has something to say: Batman will pay for today's impulse.
