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

Damian felt he had suffered a huge injustice.

He glared at Jason in dissatisfaction, pressed his lips into a cold straight line like his father used to do, then turned around, and ran out the door with a patter, completing the whole process of complaining to Ah Fu series of operations.

While he was stumbling and protesting, the three adults were dragged into the operating room, and on the hospital bed next to the operating table, they saw the weak little blue cat.

Bruce had a suspicious attack: "Why can Damian understand cats meowing? This cat is not the conspiracy of some super criminal, right?"

Ah Fu rolled his eyes carelessly.

"For example, Catwoman?" He sarcastically cited an example, but quickly denied, "But she should still be in prison. After all, the amount of money stolen is huge, and she may have to stay there for a while."

Bruce said dissatisfiedly: "The jewel thief is not called Catwoman because she can drive cats."

Ah Fu also said kindly: "So, Master Damian's ability to understand cats doesn't necessarily represent some kind of conspiracy."

Bruce: "So what does that mean?"

Ah Fu said: "Maybe, this is some kind of talent of the young master?"

"Great." Bruce sneered. "The talent for talking to cats?"

Ah Fu: "...Master, with your attitude, there is no way to please the children"

Bruce said confidently: "They don't need to like it, I'm just a little more cautious than you."

Ah Fu said helplessly: "But this may not be what Master Damian needs."

Bruce lowered his head, looked at him without even looking at himself, just grabbed Ah Fu's thigh blindly, and the youngest son, who was persistently complaining, had to admit that the housekeeper might be right.

He sighed resignedly and asked, "Then the question is, Damian, what do you want us to do?"

The three-headed cub grabbed Ah Fu's suit pants and raised his head in a daze.He first looked at Ah Fu, then at the cat, and finally stared at Jason, and said firmly: "Lingxing, mine! Don't give it to my bad brother!"

Jason was a little angry for a moment, but when he heard the "brother", most of the fire in his heart was extinguished again, and he couldn't even utter a word.

Fortunately, Dick had a point.

"Damian, Xiaolan... Alright Lingxing." He was defeated by his younger brother's protesting eyes, tried his best to shield Jason's resentful eyes behind him, and said fairly, "We rescued it together." Yes, you can't take it for yourself just by one person's will."

Damian's small head can't hold anything too profound, and he doesn't quite understand it.

Dick had no choice but to say, "It's like this little bear, which originally belonged to Jason. He kindly lent it to you to play with, but you can't just take it home just because you like it."

"Why!" Damian exploded, he let go of Ah Fu's trouser legs, ran to the table and took back the bald bear, and held it tightly in his arms, "My little bear!"

Jason: "..."

Damian thought for a while, and added confidently: "My cat!"

Jason looked at Dick silently: "I want to beat someone up."

Dick: "...No, you don't want to."

It's so hard to be a big brother, he really doesn't want to work hard anymore.

……

Children's friendship is always like this, getting together easily, but parting ways inexplicably.

Fortunately, it is very easy for them to reconcile. After Jason and Damian snatched the bald bear, Dick was anxiously circling in circles, not knowing what to do. The blue cat that triggered everything stretched out its paws and gently covered its eyes After out of sight, out of sight, the housekeeper took on the important task of "saving the cubs' friendship".

Use a plate of shortbreads borrowed from Leslie's kitchen and baked impromptu.

The three children sat obediently on the sofa, nibbling on the cookies with happy faces, and gradually realized that they were too naive to be awkward before.

Food trumps everything.

Sure enough, there is no conflict that cannot be resolved with a meal of cookies. If not, then two meals!

Bruce looked at his butler hesitantly, and was so shocked by Ah Fu's series of skillful manipulations that he didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, Ah Fu didn't need his evaluation, he approached the three little ones kindly, and skillfully coaxed them.

Ah Fu: "The blue cat... Let's call it the Spirit Star. The three of you rescued it together, right?"

Damian still had crumbs of cookies at the corner of his mouth. He puffed up his chest solemnly when he heard this, and said firmly, "Of course!"

Ah Fu said again: "So you are equal, you can adopt Lingxing, and Jason can too, right?"

"But..." Damian frowned. His lack of vocabulary made it impossible for him to express better. He can talk to cats, so he should have the priority of adoption. Tangled ground has been but.

Ah Fu talked to the young master, then turned to Jason and said, "I can see that you like this cat very much."

Jason held a cookie and nodded vigorously: "I love it so much!"

Ah Fu rationally asked: "But you live in an abandoned apartment, you have no elders and no income, how do you support it?"

Jason said confidently: "I'm already studying, and I can go out to work soon."

This was beyond Ah Fu's expectation: "What have you learned?"

Jason said: "Stealing tires! Old Kenny taught small classes in an abandoned factory. He is the home of stealing tires. Now that he is too old to steal, he uses this craft to teach, and he can teach every month." I made a lot of money! I didn’t have any money, so I sneaked over to attend a few classes, and it seemed very simple.”

Bruce couldn't help but walked over and asked with an absurd expression, "What class are you teaching?"

Jason suspected that he had a hearing problem: "I just said, steal tires!"

Bruce couldn't understand at all, why do thieves have to teach classes these days?But what he doesn't understand is why some children would rather learn the skills of stealing than accept the help of welfare agencies or foster families to learn more useful knowledge?

Ah Fu can vaguely understand.

After all, not all foster families are kind, and not all welfare agencies are kind, especially since this is Gotham, the chances of bad things happening are especially high.

Although one of the reasons is that Jason is too self-defeating and unwilling to be restrained by others, this does not prevent Ah Fu from giving advice to the children.

"I have an idea now." He threw out the bait, "It will give you a way to become the owner of the blue cat together."

Jason emphasized: "Not the master, Lingxing is our friend."

But even though he said this, he still couldn't resist the temptation, raised his head together with the Dick brothers, and looked at the old housekeeper eagerly.

The three little ones said in unison: "What idea?"

The fish is hooked.

A Fu said with a smile: "If Jason can become the brother of the young masters, then Lingxing will be the cat of the whole family. In this way, you can have it together."

The more Bruce heard it, the more something was wrong: "Ah Fu, what does it mean to be Dick and Damian's brother?"

"Wait a minute." Jason also reacted: "To put it another way, wouldn't it just make me the son of that annoying guy?"

Bruce frowned dissatisfiedly: "Who was the one who thanked me just now? How long has your attitude changed?"

Jason said confidently: "I appreciate you treating Xiaolan..."

The blue cat waved its paw angrily: "Meow!"

"Okay, Spirit Star." The poor boy finally corrected his address amidst the cat's protest, and became the last person to recognize the name of Spirit Star, "I appreciate you sending it here and giving it hope of living, But that doesn't conflict with me still hating you."

Bruce snorted coldly: "Heretician."

Ah Fu pulled his master aside: "Don't make trouble."

Bruce stared at the butler in disbelief: "You're going to give me such a big son, and you still don't allow me to express my opinion?"

Ah Fu: "Well..."

Bruce: "Ah Fu, I can't figure it out recently, what are you thinking?"

Ah Fu sighed: "I just think Jason is dangerous."

Bruce looked at the boy poking his head, and pursed his lips: "You are right, he is sinking step by step."

A Fu said: "But he met the young masters unexpectedly, which made him want to leave the mud under his feet. Master, I saw a boy struggling to escape."

Bruce snorted, "I saw that too."

Ah Fu said: "I know you are always soft-hearted, so I won't turn a blind eye to all this."

Bruce: "...don't use that nasty word to describe me, I'm never softhearted."

Afu looked at him and smiled.

Bruce sighed and conceded, "But I can't fucking give up on a kid."

He walked towards Jason, and under the watchful eyes of the boy, he said dryly, "Do you want to be my adopted son?"

Jason looked at him strangely: "I thought I said it, I don't want to."

Bruce: "...you may not know my name, Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham, you will enter another world from now on."

Jason said coldly, "I don't want to."

Bruce was at a loss for words for a while, and then he continued: "You don't have to worry about making a living anymore, the cat can get better care, and you and your friends can even live together..."

Jason's attitude didn't soften in the slightest: "Yes, I don't want to."

Afu came over, without the long speech like Bruce, he just said one sentence: "Be a part of the family, and you will be able to eat the exclusive cookies I bake every day."

Dick realized something, and started saying, "And super delicious muffins."

Damian also came to join in the fun: "All kinds of pies!"

"Hmm..." Jason said hesitantly, "I need to think about it, think about it."

Then, a few minutes later, he walked briskly up to Bruce, looked at him and said, "Dad."

Bruce: "...?"
