I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 56 Cassandra's Sensitivity and Clumsiness
"Open your mouth, Jacques, ah—"

"No, Barbara, I told you that you don't have to do this, I can drink porridge by myself"

In the dining room next to the training room, Jacques tried to pick up the spoon with his bandage-wrapped hands, but just as he was about to use force, the swelling and pain on his arm that was knocked out by Barbara last night broke out. With a shake, the spoon fell into the bowl.

Seeing this scene, Barbara, who was sitting next to Jacques, was full of guilt. After carefully picking up the spoon and wiping it clean, she gently scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to Jacques' mouth.

"Don't be brave, let me feed you. After all, this is my responsibility. I made such a low-level mistake, and it hurt you."

Seeing Barbara's firm eyes, it seemed that Jacques would keep his arms up if he didn't want her to feed him. Jacques had no choice but to open his mouth and let Barbara feed him.

"It's obviously me who should say I'm sorry. Barbara, you kindly cooperated with my training, but I made you almost lose consciousness instead."

"It can only be said that my spirit is slack-it stands to reason that even if it is the scarecrow's fear gas, I should be able to overcome it with willpower three years ago. This incident reminded me that it seems that my psychology and spirit Still haven’t adjusted back to perfection.”

Barbara sighed softly, and then continued to feed Jacques the porridge thoughtfully.Just at this moment, a cold and indifferent voice sounded from opposite them.

"Don't worry, I will also help you, Barbara, to recover through meditation training."

Sitting across from them was Cassandra, a young girl in a loose black T-shirt with an expressionless face.This taciturn girl kept staring at Jacques's face, her clear eyes were devoid of any emotion, which made people feel unpredictable.

According to Barbara's introduction to him, the girl's full name is Cassandra Cain.A year ago, when Barbara was still serving as an oracle, she briefly took over the job of Batgirl, but for unknown reasons, Cassandra left Gotham to study in a city called HK in a big eastern country , while also acting independently to fight crime.

This information is roughly consistent with the Cassandra settings that Jacques learned from the previous life comics, but apart from what Barbara told him, Cassandra has another more important thing that Jacques is more interested in. The identity of the interest-she is the daughter of two famous killers in the DC world, David Cain and Ms. Shiva.

David Cain is not familiar with Jacques, but the Assassin Alliance he belongs to has already formed a relationship with him; Jacques is more concerned about her mother, Ms. Siwa, and the one he met a few days ago called Is there any connection between Wu Shan's women?
However, Cassandra is always expressionless and reticent, making it impossible for people to get closer.He couldn't just ask for information about other people's mothers, and he couldn't explain why he knew about the relationship between Cassandra and Ms. Shiva.

The atmosphere in the restaurant seemed to have become awkward. While being fed by a mature, gentle and considerate beauty, Jacques was also stared at by a mouthless cute girl, feeling a little uncomfortable.

So he decided to take the initiative to speak, trying to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"Uh, Miss Cassandra, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. This porridge with preserved egg and lean pork is indeed at the level of a chef."

Jacques tried to flatter her to get closer to Cassandra - for this girl appointed by Batman as his martial arts coach, Jacques still wanted to have a good relationship, and for the girl who was younger than him Jacques almost had a psychological shadow when the girl beat him violently.

"After all, I live alone in HK, and the necessary life skills still need to be mastered. But what I am curious about is-"

Cassandra's eyes narrowed slightly, making Jacques feel as if a laser machine had scanned his whole body.

"You actually like preserved eggs. I think these are special foods that us Easterners will get used to first. Many Westerners can't accept it—even most people don't know this kind of thing. .”

(You actually like preserved eggs, I thought it was a special food that we orientals are used to. Many westerners can’t accept it—or even don’t know this kind of food.)
ah?Jacques noticed that Cassandra's words were not in English, but in the Chinese he was familiar with—accurately speaking in the dialect of his hometown in his previous life.

Jacques looked at Barbara beside him, and the latter looked at him and Cassandra suspiciously. Although Barbara was a genius hacker and had the ability to remember, she didn't seem to have learned this dialect.

At the same time, Jacques noticed that the breakfast that Cassandra prepared for Barbara was an ordinary bacon sandwich, but what was in front of him was the preserved egg porridge cooked by Cassandra herself.

"Of course, it may be because of your unique personal taste - but, I think there are more than that. Your English accent is also very strange, although you can't hear it when you talk to Barbara. But when you and I were talking, and Bu Xunwan had an obvious special accent at the moment of crisis. It was the accent I heard all the time in a certain country in the East."

(Of course, it is also possible that your personal taste is unique-but, I feel more than that, and your English is also very strange. Although you usually sound normal when you talk to Barbara, you talked to me, and last night It is obvious to have a special accent at a critical moment is a special accent that I often hear in a certain country in the East.)
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Jacques's forehead. He has never told anyone that he came to this body through soul wear, not even the closest Harley Quinn.But he never expected that the secret of his Western appearance with an Eastern soul would be exposed because of a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and even the location of his hometown had been found out.

No, it should be said that Cassandra noticed this immediately after meeting her. After all, it was almost an instinctive reaction for Jacques to blurt out his mother tongue when he met his fellow villagers. Cassandra just used this breakfast to test Just myself.

But this can also show from the side that this girl's observation skills are so meticulous that it is really scary.

Although this is not information that is so important that it must be kept secret, it is just that there was no need to say it before.When Jacques was thinking about how to explain to Barbara, Cassandra interrupted him.

"Sorry, I seem to be talking too much for a while. I don't have the heart to explore your secrets. This is your privacy. I just want to be my apprentice—no, I should be a student. Sister Guan. I thought you would feel kinder because of this, but it seems I was wrong. If you feel uncomfortable, I apologize for it, and I swear to help you keep it a secret, so don’t worry.”

(Sorry, it seems that I was talking too much for a while. I have no intention of probing your secrets, this is your privacy. I just want to get closer to you who will be my apprentice—no, it should be said that you are a student. I thought You're going to be kinder for that, it looks like I've misunderstood. I apologize if this offends you, and I swear to help you keep it a secret, don't worry.)
Jacques looked at Cassandra in surprise. The girl's face was still calm, like a puppet without any emotion. However, he could catch the sincere look in the clear brown eyes, and the flashing sorry.

So Cassandra has been staring at herself just now—just thinking about how to get along with herself?
And revealing his hidden secrets is actually just to talk to himself. The popular saying is to get close?

Jacques couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. It seems that this girl named Cassandra is not emotionless and should not be approached by strangers; it's just that the way she expresses her feelings is a little too clumsy.
