Did Ah Fu retire today? [Comprehensive British and American]

Bruce finds it all ridiculous.

Yes, he did need an excuse to get close to Matt, but a blind date?This is too exaggerated.

And to be honest, he always feels that this excuse full of loopholes doesn't seem to be able to win the trust of people... especially a superhero.

Just as he suspected, Matt recovered from the shock and immediately questioned: "A blind date in this kind of place?"

It's not that he belittles where he lives, but shouldn't a blind date be held in a coffee shop, a fancy restaurant, why choose an old apartment?

Bruce glanced at Ah Fu, his old butler didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't answer, which made him, who was still in shock, have to stand up and correct the lie told by the butler.

"Of course not." He said quickly, "I'm only here to pick up a blind date."

He pointed to the Lamborghini parked at the door, intending to use it as evidence for picking up the man, but then he thought that Matt was blind and couldn't see the car at all, so he withdrew his hand angrily and gave up.

Often after a person has told a lie, he has to fill up the mistake with many other lies.

Bruce knows this all too well.

In order to conceal the secret of Batman, he had to claim to be the patron of the Dark Knight, which led to wild speculation by the media and citizens. To this day, some people attach various strange relationship orientations to his two identities.

For example, the richest man in Gotham has the Gotham vigilante, and they often have private meetings late at night; another example is that Batman and Bruce are actually long-lost brothers, so they can share the wealth of the Wayne family; there is even a dark knight. In fact, they were mercenaries or bodyguards hired by Wayne. The reason why he did this was to remove obstacles and consolidate his status and wealth in Gotham.

Bruce was overwhelmed by all kinds of rumors, but there was nothing he could do.

Because all these speculations are far from the truth, which can make his secrets safer.

Bruce just shook his head and kept silent.

Matt has always been sensitive to voices, but after listening to Bruce's explanation, his doubts deepened.

"I've heard your voice, on the TV news." He mused, "Looks like it's just recently."

Bruce looked up at Matt, vaguely having a bad guess.

And the situation really developed in the direction he resisted.

"Oh! I remember." Matt snapped his fingers, his tone rising, "You are the richest man in Gotham, Bruce Wayne? I listened to your interview the second day I came to Gotham, no wonder I felt that familiar."

Bruce couldn't refute it, he could only acquiesce.

Matt was even more puzzled.

"But does the famous Mr. Wayne actually need a blind date?" He said incredulously, "Haven't you had relationships with almost all the Playboy cover girls? I have the impression that your love life, It seems so rich that only Mr. Stark in New York can compare."

Bruce was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say, he turned his head silently, and looked at his butler for help: "Ah Fu?"

Ah Fu nodded slightly understandingly, and said like a panacea: "What the rich will do is always confusing, isn't it?"

Bruce frowned, not very satisfied with Ah Fu's answer.

But in contrast to him, Matt, who has been poor for more than [-] years, was immediately persuaded: "What you said makes a lot of sense."

Bruce: "???"

"Sorry for taking you so long," Matt said sincerely. "Who do you want? Maybe I can show you the way."

He was a little embarrassed.Ever since he became Daredevil, he has always been very suspicious, except for those who have been playing since he was a child, he is mostly wary of other people who approach him.

And because of his keen hearing, it is easy to tell from a person's heartbeat whether the other person is nervous or lying.His vigilance is often necessary.

For example, this time, it was also because of the two people who blocked the exit. After he appeared, the heart rate obviously started to speed up, which made him suspicious and questioned for a long time.

It's just that their heartbeats quickly returned to steady, coupled with the confirmation of the other party's true identity, Matt slowly let go of his guard, and felt very guilty for his previous unreasonableness, and wanted to give some compensation.

A foreigner who has not yet reached the middle class, facing a rich man in a city, the only thing he can do, and what the other party happens to need is to help them guide the way and shorten the time to meet a blind date.

But Ah Fu and Bruce didn't want this compensation.

Because it meant they had to improvise a character, or at least an address, to counteract Matt's kindness.

Ah Fu fell into deep thought, why didn't he realize that Matt was so nosy?

Bruce bit the bullet and said an address indiscriminately: "No. 252."

"That's it, the one on the west end of the fifth floor." Matt said in surprise, "It's just that I met the tenant in the morning, and it seems to be... a man who lives alone?"

Bruce pursed his lips, showing a Batman's habitual expression, and fell into a lengthy silence.

A dead silence.

Matt blinked pitifully, not knowing what he said wrong, which led to such a depressing atmosphere.

He explained carefully: "I won't go out and talk nonsense. Although your sexuality seems to be inconsistent with the report, I'm not from Gotham, so I won't cause you too much trouble."

Bruce's face was still ugly.

But Ah Fu's eyes lit up, and he thought of an excuse to get close to Matt.

"As you said, you are not from Gotham, so how can you guarantee that you will not talk nonsense with the media?" He looked like a worried butler who really worried about the master, "After all, you don't look rich, even if you will The news was sold to the media, and once we leave Gotham, it will be difficult for us to find you again."

When Ah Fu said this, he was acquiescing to his master, and this time the blind date was a man.

Bruce looked at Ah Fu in disbelief, and asked with his eyes: What are you doing?Don't worry about my reputation?

Relying on the fact that Matt is blind, Ah Fu also blatantly replied with his eyes: "Master, haven't you always been free from such things as wind reviews?"

Bruce continued to say with his eyes: My personality is Playboy, and my preference is Cover Girl!

Afu looked back calmly: Gotham passed the same-sex marriage law a few years ago, even if you suddenly changed your sexual orientation, the acceptance of the Gotham media will not be too low.

Ah Fu and Bruce exchanged "eyes" back and forth, until they heard Matt's rebuttal, then they looked away from each other and suspended their eye contact.

"How could I!" Matt blushed, "I'm a lawyer, and I have professional ethics. If you are still not at ease, I can tell you my address in Hell's Kitchen."

Lawyers often know the most secrets, and if they do not have certain professionalism, they are likely to hurt their clients.

So when it comes to keeping secrets, Matt speaks with confidence.

Ah Fu's voice changed: "It's not necessary to be so troublesome, but in the next few days, maybe we will meet often. After all, we need to make sure that you don't contact the reporter to disclose the information of the master."

Matt frowned: "I'm here to investigate the case, it may not be convenient."

Bruce understood what Ah Fu meant, and he wanted to use this excuse to get close to Matt, so he immediately said, "Don't rush to refuse. With my status and wealth in Gotham, maybe I can help you instead."

Matt frowned slightly.

It takes time to investigate the case, and what he lacks is time. Maybe with Wayne's help, it might really help him find clues as soon as possible.

Matt figured out the key, and in the end he acquiesced.

The simple verbal agreement was reached in this way, and everyone felt quite satisfied.

"I'm going to try my luck at the client's original address, so I'll leave first." Matt knew that Wayne needed a blind date, and he might not be able to help him today, so he planned to leave and leave.

It was just that after saying goodbye to the two of them, before they left, a series of hurried footsteps came down from upstairs.

"Mr. Murdoch?" A gentle and friendly male voice came, "Are you going out?"

Matt turned around.

"There are some things to do..." He stopped suddenly while talking, and tilted his head slightly, "Huh?"

The footsteps slowed down, and the man came out: "What?"

Matt suddenly realized something, hesitantly said: "I remember, you seem to be the resident of 252, Mr. Kent?"

"Of course." The visitor scratched his head suspiciously, his sea-blue eyes filled with confusion, "Didn't we just meet in the morning?"

Bruce was really shocked this time: "Kent? How do you..."

"Cough!" Ah Fu coughed twice quickly, reminding his master to pay attention to the situation.

Bruce swallowed what he was going to say abruptly, took a deep breath, wrinkled his face and turned stiffly: "... came down so fast?"

"Bruce?" Clark was taken aback, and finally noticed the two people blocked by Matt, and asked in more shock than him, "What are you talking about?"

Two people know each other, which undoubtedly increases the credibility of the "blind date".

Matt said wittily, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first. I wish you a smooth blind date."

Matt reached for his cane and left the apartment at a speed too fast for a blind man.

The three big men who stayed behind looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

It was Clark who broke the silence first: "So what are we now? Blind date?"

Bruce's voice seemed to freeze: "I thought you could see that this was just a stopgap measure."

"So." Clark blinked his blue eyes, and asked with particular sincerity, "What should I call you? Honey?"

A vein burst out on Bruce's forehead, and Ah Fu finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud.

The author has something to say:

Matt: Wait, am I not date number 1?

Meringue: Sorry, I jumped in line (._.)
