[Gotham] She's from Gotham

"Sweet bean curd...is it really delicious?"

Yu looked at Oswald suspiciously.

"what?"

He nodded.

"Yes."

"Ah... won't the smell of beans be very strong? Could it be that the salty bean curd makes it taste delicious. What is sweet bean curd? It's neither fish nor fowl, deviant..."

The more you talk, the more angry you become, and the more you talk, the more depressed you become.And the point is——

"Yu, you're speaking Chinese again."

"I'm talking to myself, and I didn't mean it for you," she added.

"Just take it as if I'm scolding you."

"..."

Oswald lowered his head silently, scooped a large spoonful of sweet bean curd and taro balls and stuffed them into his mouth.

After a while.

"Yu, are you still angry about that?"

She gave him a sideways look.

"You make me angry so many things, which one are you talking about?"

"……Jade."

He sighed.

"You know what I'm talking about."

"You really think I know?" Her voice was cold, and she looked at him from a overlooking angle.

"Okay Oswald, I'm not mad now, but I'll always remember that."

He looked away in a panic.

Sweet bean curd also seems to have a bitter taste in the mouth.

"Unless you promise me to owe me a big favor." She added.

Oswald raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing with urgency.

"you say!"

"Ah... Human favor." Yu purposely pinched his throat and hummed.

"I'll talk about it when I remember what I want."

After the slap, Oswald remained in a daze.Including Yu's sentence of cursing him in half Chinese and half English, he seemed to be in a mess.

"Yu... I was wrong, I admit I was wrong. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I didn't really mean to kill you, I just—"

"You don't really want to kill me?"

She sneered.

"Yeah, none of you really wanted to kill me, but you just felt that I was not important when faced with a choice, so you just abandoned me. But since it's not important, there's no need to keep it, Oswald, Aren't you holding a gun in your hand now? Shoot, it's not like you haven't killed you before, why don't you dare!"

"Jade……"

He was incoherent in a hurry, red from neck to ears.

So the quarrel that day was still fruitless.

until--

Yu was kidnapped.

"If your boss is Oswald, tell him—"

"No, miss, our boss just wants to kill Oswald."

Yu smiled and cursed in Chinese.

"I'm fucking fucked up."

【fifteen】

He chose jade this time.

Before power and her, he did not hesitate.

She thought it was a calculated drama, but when the bullet shot into his lower abdomen, she dismissed the idea.

Oswald is a man who will do anything for what he wants.But the body is the capital of the revolution, so how could he perform such a dangerous trick in order to deceive himself?

Later, Miss Falcone suddenly appeared to turn the tide and saved Oswald and Jade.

So she hesitated for a while, and finally chose to forgive him.

"Is there still no news from Miss Falcone?"

"He must have been with Victor Sass."

He said something bitterly, and when he exerted force on his hand, the chopsticks broke the noodles.

"You don't want to stay in a female university."

"what?"

"Oh, it's okay." Yu laughed. "I scolded you."

Oswald began to aspire to learn Chinese that day.

【Sixteen】

Gotham has been in chaos recently, and this and that Valeska is back.Yu watched the news for a long time, but didn't figure out which Valeska came back.

Oswald has been visiting so frequently recently that Yu is not used to it.

"Are you okay? I'm going to work and I have classes later."

Yu, who was about to be late, didn't have a good look at Oswald who was blocking the door.

"Ah, then I'll see you off."

So Jade got into his car.

She looked at her watch, and it seemed that there was still time left, and her restless mood calmed down all of a sudden.

"My tone was not very good just now, sorry."

"It's okay, we are..." He paused.

"...friend."

Yu looked at him, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Yes."

silence.

A silence that embarrassed and annoyed Oswald.

"Yu, I—"

"—Miss Falcone still hasn't heard from her recently?"

"……Yes."

"Ah, no wonder." She had a clear expression.

"From the perspective of class, most of Miss Falcone's kindness to you is more of charity—"

"what?"

Oswald looked at her suddenly.

Yu blinked.

"Sorry, I'm the one who didn't hold back."

"No..." He seemed to be thinking about something.

"you say?"

"...There is a class gap between you, you can't see it."

He nodded stiffly.

"I know, but what does this have to do with what you said."

"Because Miss Falcone and your class are not equal, there will be a subtle difference in the attitude when getting along. But this is not a big deal, there are many people in the world who are not equal classes can become friends, In fact, the impact is not important."

She added another sentence.

"Okay, if I say it again, it's like trying to sow discord."

"No, Jade, I don't think so."

She looked at him, the corners of her mouth raised, but her eyes didn't change.

"One day you will, Oswald."

What Yu didn't expect was that Oswald was still waiting after his class.

Waiting to pick myself up and go home...

It's weird to think about it.

Recently, the frequency of their meeting has been increasing. From the past, they rarely saw each other a few times throughout the year to now they meet countless times a day.

Yu suddenly remembered the statement that "the ice age and climate change caused dynastic changes".

Prosperity leads to decline...

Maybe that's not true either.

It's not a massive battle between them to conquer the city.

only……

Just what.

Yu shook his head.

"The professor of sociology is an extreme nationalist. He sat next to me in the last meeting, and he almost ate me on the spot with his hideous expression."

Jade and Oswald started chatting at dinner one day.

He paused with the hand holding the chopsticks.

"I'll have someone—"

"Wait a minute, I didn't mean that."

Afterwards, she realized that her words had misunderstood him.

"I taught that professor of sociology who was targeting me everywhere, and I squeezed him out of the position of dean of the college. He was so angry that he fainted from high blood pressure, and he seems to be still in the hospital now."

Both of them laughed.

"Use your excellence to shut up your opponents, Yu, you are really suitable to be a teacher."

Oswald smiled at her with admiration in his eyes.

"Is it."

She disagrees.

"I feel that my personality is not suitable for teaching and educating people. A really good leader should lead students to be more positive and optimistic, not like me, who is passive and hides from the world, thinking all day long that the world is rotten, or it will die, it's not me To die first is to end the world first."

After speaking, she laughed to herself.

"My God Oswald, the world is coming to an end. The hermit has no choice but to be a hypocrite or a villain."

She smiled, with a blush on her cheeks.

Oswald glanced at the empty bottle of red wine in her hand, and asked quickly.

"How much did you drink?"

"Before you came, I drank half of the red wine sauce when I made the steak."

Yu was sober on the table covering her face.

"One of my students gave it to me. I don't know if I can get drunk. I just drink it... Ah, it's just the daily sorrow of the pessimists. Don't worry about it, I don't care about it myself."

Oswald stood up and walked over.

"Why don't you take a break first?"

"I can drink a catty of liquor by myself, why do you think I drink too much?"

"...Yu, you are speaking Chinese again."

"Ah, I didn't hear you wrong."

"...Yu, your sentence is also in Chinese."

"..."

She sighed and stood up slowly.

"Oswald, I seem to have drunk too much."

"...Yu, you're still speaking Chinese."

"Oh, don't care." She waved her hand irritably.

"But I forgot how to say it in English now, why don't you find me a translator?"

She looked at the bewildered Oswald and sighed again.

"Forget it, let it be like this. I am too sorry for Maotai Wuliangye Yanghe Daqu Gujing Gong Luzhou Laojiao Jiannanchun..."

Yu turned and walked towards the bedroom, her steps were unsteady, and her head was still dizzy.

Oswald looked back at the wine on the table, it was just a bottle of brandy.

"Yu, are you sure you're okay?"

She stopped suddenly and turned to look at him.

"I……"

His feet tilted and he almost knelt on the ground.Fortunately, Oswald helped her in time.

"Or I'll help you—"

"Shh."

She made a silent gesture, and the two of them were very close.

Oswald blinked, subconsciously moved back a bit.

"I'm going to tell you a secret."

This sentence is in English.

"what?"

She leaned against his ear, breathing on the side of his face and neck, his ears turned red.

But she speaks Chinese.

"Oswald, in fact, since that day, I always feel that our acquaintance is over."

"Yu, you're talking about—"

"Shh."

She pouted, put her index finger on it, and resumed her English.

"Oswald, it's a secret."

"Then can you say in English—"

"It's a secret."

She interrupted him, smiling maliciously.

The lights were dim, and the drunken woman walked lightly, half leaning on his arms.

After a long time, she said another sentence.

"I know you played a trick."

This time it is English.
