After buying the earth [Comprehensive British and American]

Hilda was so attached to someone for the first time, if according to her idea, the two of them should stay together for a whole day, unfortunately, after dinner, Bruce received another call, he had to Do not go home early to deal with some things.He kissed Hilda apologetically, promised to spend the whole day with her on his next date—and sent Hilda back to his East End apartment.

Although Hilda has actually settled in the Diamond District, she still has some things to deal with in the East District. For example, the kid named Jason Todd, she asked him to be her "eyeliner" last time ", but did not have time to give him any contact information, nor did he explain clearly what he needed to do.In short, she has reasons to return to the East End.

What's more, she was more than happy to take Bruce's ride and spend a little more time with him than to go back straight to the apartment in the Diamond District and part ways with Bruce. ...well, maybe that's the main reason.

The kiss at parting was naturally extraordinarily intense and reluctant.

Although Bruce almost acquiesced in her actions because of apology, but when she couldn't help herself and almost crossed the line, he couldn't bear it anymore, suppressed his twitching eyebrows, pressed Hilda's shoulders, and abruptly pulled away to end the scene. kiss.

The sound of the two kissing apart makes Batman's scalp tingle: how did things get to this point? ? ?

He pressed his temple with one hand, and still held Hilda firmly with the other, feeling that he needed to think for a while.So Hilda had to begrudgingly put an arm's length away from him—Bruce's arm, of course.

What are you doing.She thought a little unhappy, just a kiss, Bruce is fine with everything, but a little too shy.She didn't give up trying to touch Bruce, and when she dared to touch the other's body with her fingers, Bruce held her down.

——Why is Bruce so agile?She was a little puzzled, and looked up at him, but met disapproving eyes.

Hilda: "?"

Bruce had a headache: "...Who taught you this." Whether it's kissing or flirting - Hilda wasn't so proficient at all before, right?Who taught her?Penguin?

(Coppert: Ah——————!)

Hilda blinked: "You taught me."

"Besides," she puffed up her chest, confidently, "You obviously said it, but in private, I can do anything and do whatever I want."

Bruce: "? When did I say that?"

Hilda: "Just in the afternoon, after you kissed me!"

Bruce thought about it for a long time, and couldn't remember saying that - it wasn't his style at all.

--never mind.He thought helplessly that he was almost used to it.

"Okay," he let go, "you go in. I'll watch you go in here."

"You come with me." Hilda spoke boldly, "This is our first day together, don't you want to spend the night with me? I read the news, they said that you used to have girlfriends and slept with them , I should have what other people have, you can't favor one over another!"

Bruce: "..."

In a sense, Hilda is really clingy when she's in love.It's as if all of a sudden, she's a burning star with a steady stream of heat pouring out of her body, and she just expresses her feelings and thoughts with gusto.

If Bruce put his heart and soul into the relationship, he must be sweet to have such a lover.But, he has another identity - and more importantly, Hilda looks about the same age as Dick!

God knows how Bruce wanted to show her disapproving eyes as an elder at the first second of hearing Hilda's words.

——Okay, Bruce, he tried to tell himself, remember, you are a playboy now, and you shouldn't show a conservative dean-like attitude towards the courtship of "girlfriend".

Bruce squeezed out a "heartbeat and embarrassing" smile: "...My dear, although this idea is indeed very exciting, but unfortunately, you forgot, I have to go home to deal with some extra things..."

--God!This is really a test of one's acting skills!

Hilda opened her mouth to speak.

Bruce immediately sped up his speech, trying to interrupt her a second before she could speak-who knows what would happen after she actually said it?Just in case, he even stretched out his hand and covered Hilda's mouth.

Hilda: ...?

Bruce: "How about next time, baby?"

He leaned over and kissed her forehead soothingly again - to be honest, Bruce felt that he had become numb to kissing Hilda, how many times had he kissed her all day long?Is this the price to be paid for maintaining stability?

However, I have to say that this trick is really effective.

Hilda blinked, no longer asked to continue, but bid him farewell obediently, and got out of the car.She walked slowly to the entrance of the alley, and a second before she was about to go in, she couldn't help turning her head - Bruce was sitting in the car, surrounded by Gotham night, watching her from afar.At this moment, he looked a little lonely, and even gave Hilda an illusion: in the next second, he would be swallowed by the darkness around him.

So she turned back without hesitation, and under Bruce's puzzled eyes, through the low door of the convertible, she bent down and kissed him deeply.

She wanted to tell him: I will be with you.

But she said nothing.All feelings and commitments are crushed and covered by the night.

But Hilda had vaguely understood something: this was the real beginning of it all—for the first time she valued a man so much that she felt sorry for his loneliness.

But he didn't know anything about it.

Bruce didn't understand why she turned her head again, and the only explanation seemed to be that she was still insisting on the outrageous idea of ​​inviting him to spend the night just now.

Thinking of this, Bruce paused slightly, and refused as gently as possible: "Really not, Hilda, absolutely not today."

Hilda rested her head on Bruce's shoulder, trembling slightly.

Bruce:!

He froze in disbelief: Hilda... crying? ……Why?Just because he didn't agree to spend the night with her? ? ?

"Hey..." he said.

"...hahahahahahaha" Hilda raised her head, it turned out that her trembling was not from crying, on the contrary, she was suppressing a sneer, "...What kind of image do I have in your heart!" She laughed Feeling upset at the same time, "A scumbag who tried his best to get his girlfriend into bed!"

Bruce: "..."

He started the car engine expressionlessly, and the roar drowned out Hilda's laughter.Hilda quickly apologized: "I was wrong, I was wrong-babe, I was really wrong, I'm not a scumbag, okay? Hahahahahahahaha

—I see that you do not realize your error at all.Bruce thought coldly.

"...Okay," she held back her laughter, stood up straight, and waved to Bruce, "You go back... Be careful on the road, don't forget, we're going to date for a whole day next time!"

He stared deeply at Hilda, always feeling that she seemed a little different at the moment.But what is the difference?

Bruce turned off the engine: "I'll watch you go in."

"What's interesting." Hilda didn't care. "Isn't it just a back view? - Don't you have something to deal with, let's go, let's go."

Bruce hesitated for a while, really wondering what Hilda's change was for at this moment.So he said goodbye again with apology, then drove the car, and gradually drove away from here.

Not long after the car started, Bruce couldn't help looking at the rearview mirror outside the car window. In the mirror, Hilda stood there with her hands in her pockets, motionless, her whole body was caged in darkness, watching him leave.

Isn't there nothing to see?

he thought amusedly.

He didn't notice how his side face was accommodated by the rearview mirror, with a slight smile under the flashing light of the street lamp.

The first thing Hilda did when she went upstairs was to find Todd.

Unfortunately, there is no one in the Todd family.

...Is it still outside?Hilda wondered, went down the stairs and knocked on the door of the Walker sisters' house.

Martina opened the door for her with a mask on: "...what are you looking for that kid Todd for?"

Hilda: "? How do you know..."

"Please," Martina couldn't help rolling her eyes, "you knocked on the door so loudly that you shouted twice—the whole building knows you have something to do with Jason Todd."

Hilda touched her nose and tried to change the subject: "Good evening! Alice."

Alice is watching cartoons.She raised her head and smiled at Hilda: "Good evening, Hilda." Then she immediately returned her gaze to the cartoon.

Hilda couldn't understand why Alice liked a cartoon pink pig so much.

Sitting next to Martina, she stretched her waist: "...so do you know where Todd has gone?"

"I don't know," Martina shook her head, "I haven't seen him all day today."

Hilda paused: "What? No way... When was the last time you saw him?"—Could it be that this kid absconded in fear of crime in order to escape the agreement? ?

"I saw him go out for breakfast yesterday morning." Martina replied, "You haven't said what you want to do with him?"

"He pried off Penguin's tires," said Hilda grimly. "I'm here to vent my anger on my boss."

Martina: "...?"

She frowned and looked at Hilda: "...When did you become a five-good employee? Todd has always been clever, and he only works in the East District. How could he pry Penguin's tires?"

"Because I drove Penguin's car to the East District." Hilda said quietly.

Martina: I knew it.

She said "Oh", "When did it happen?"

"Last night." Hilda said angrily, "As a price, I asked him to do something for me, but you said he didn't come back all night? Could it be that he ran away secretly?"

"I didn't see it, because I fell asleep quickly when I came back from the night shift last night-who knows if he came back last night? Alice, did you hear the news that Todd came back last night?" Martina Turning to look at Alice who was engrossed.

Alice turned her head: "He came back, but was taken away again."

The two adults fell silent.

"I know that boy Todd. Although he is stubborn and difficult, he will still fulfill his promise very seriously." Martina frowned as she spoke, and stood up, "...Shouldn't Could it be that something happened? He was taken away by the gang...? Could it be someone from the Penguin?" As she spoke, she looked at Hilda as if asking for confirmation.

"Impossible." Hilda denied, "Penguin didn't know about the tire being pried last night, maybe..." She finally thought of another possibility, and gasped, "It's Batman."

"what?"

"Batman must have taken him away." Hilda's face was heavy, "I knew it—Batman is really ruthless."

"No! You wait first—" Martina was completely confused, "What does this matter have to do with Batman? It's impossible for Batman to stand up for Penguin, right?" Thinking of this possibility, she shuddered: If this is the case, this world is too scary!

"how is this possible!"

Hilda flatly vetoed it, completely unable to understand why Martina would have such an idea: "It's because Todd ran to pry Batman's car tire after prying my car tire."

Martina: Fuck

For a moment she didn't know whom to admire in this story.

Todd's guts are too fucking big!He is obviously not much older than Alice!How dare you offend Batman and Hilda all of a sudden? !

However, if it were Batman, at least Todd wouldn't have to worry about dying.

Martina felt relieved: Although she and Todd didn't have any deep feelings, after all, after being a neighbor for so long, she still didn't want anything to happen to him.

"Then," she said, "at least we know that nothing will happen to him—there's no need to call the police."

"Yeah." Hilda agreed. Now that it was basically confirmed that Todd was taken away by Batman, she immediately became less angry—and even felt a little sympathetic to the boy, after all, Batman would only send him away. to school.

So, she finally began to think back to what Batman said that night, and not surprisingly, she deduced the most possible possibility-Batman carried out his punishment and sent Jason Todd to Mrs. Gunn's school .

——However, Batman's mobility is really strong.It's really efficient to do so many things in one night.

"Martina, do you know Mrs. Gunn? I heard from Batman that this person opened a charity school near Crime Lane, and Todd was probably sent to that school." Hilda said, "Maybe I You can go to that school tomorrow to look for that boy."

"Mrs. Gunn's Boys' School—?" Martina's originally relaxed face suddenly tightened, "That school in Sin Alley? Is its manager a gray-haired old lady?"

Hilda: "...I don't know, I haven't understood, what's wrong?"

"It's over," Martina gasped, with mixed feelings, "I know why I haven't seen Todd today. Fay Gunn is not a simple character, and I bet she is not a good person ——A black market friend I know told me that that woman often buys a large number of weapons and equipment, and she doesn't sound like the principal of a serious school."

Hilda: "..."

Martina's expression was serious: "...Should we call the police? Or contact Batman...? Todd won't be killed, right?"

As she spoke, she had already started to find her mobile phone on the sofa.

On TV, the animation program is drawing to a close.Alice sighed reluctantly, and handed Martina the mobile phone that was set aside.

"Thank you, honey, but it's time for you to go to bed." Martina kissed the little girl's face, picked up the TV remote control and tuned the channel. A Gotham city search program was playing on the channel, and the host was He introduced the famous Wayne Arboretum in Gotham City to the audience, and half-jokingly described it as a holy place for trysts between men and women.

Hilda glanced casually, not paying much attention.

"Jason is fine." Alice said abruptly, "Batman will save him."

"You know again?" Hilda teased.

Alice pointed to her eyes and smiled mysteriously at her: "You will meet again, Hilda."

"Go to sleep!" Martina didn't give the big prophecy a face at all, and patted the little girl, "Be careful if you don't grow taller in the future!"

Alice: "QAQ"
