"Master, Mr. Yi is here."

Ah Fu brought people to the study room. Bruce, who was dressed in casual clothes, was standing on the shelf looking for books. Hearing this, he jumped down and walked towards Ian with big strides. The corner of his mouth curled up in a natural arc, and he stretched out his right hand.

"Welcome to Wayne Manor."

When the two hands were clasped together, Bruce shivered unconsciously. Compared with the last time at the charity dinner, today's feeling is more like that night. The fingertips are cold, but the palm is warm and soft.The only difference is that that night the big hand was wrapped around the small hand, and this time it was reversed.

Ah Fu saw Bruce's reaction sharply before closing the door, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.The young master is really shy, betting on the loyalty of the English-style butler, this is definitely not boring, it seems that tonight's arrangement can't be wrong.

"Mr. Wayne?" Ian, who failed to pull his hand again, had no choice but to remind the man in a daze in front of him with a puzzled face.I haven't heard that Batman has skin hunger. Why does this guy seem to be reluctant to leave every time I shake hands?

"Call me Bruce, Ian."

"Hmm...Bruce." Ian said kindly, "Can you let me go?"

"Want to read my book?" Bruce directly pulled the person to the huge bookshelf that was almost touching the roof before letting go, and then pushed the person to a place that seemed to be frequented frequently.

"This is my favorite book collection." Bruce had an intuition that the other party would be interested in his collection.

This is an area dedicated to children's literature. From the hardcover covers of the same color system, it is not difficult to see that these books have a common feature, and Ian naturally knows what it is.The works of the Newbery Children's Literature Award were once used by Ian as a textbook for teaching young Bruce to learn Chinese, but he did not expect that this person has collected the award-winning works every year for decades, and it is not difficult to see the traces of repetition.

Ian took out the work of last year's gold award, flipped through a few pages at random, and said in a clear tone: "No wonder Bruce Wayne can become a great educator, and he has maintained a childlike innocence." There is a bit of ridicule in the last sentence of praise.

"The only remaining pure place in the human world, but it is short-lived and perishable."

"This idea is a bit pessimistic." Ian shook his head, put the book back, and glanced over the books exuding the traces of time one by one.

The central location occupies two full rows of Huaguo’s collections, the four major classics, historical biography, military strategy, and hundreds of schools of thought. It seems that the essence of Huaguo’s ancestors has been moved here, and it’s not just for show.Ian felt a little ashamed when he saw it, but fortunately he died quickly back then, wouldn't it be a shame if he taught for two more years.

In addition to these, there are classics from various countries, including biology, physics, mathematics, geography, history, chemistry, engineering, criminology, law, computers, and even theology.Ian immediately came to a conclusion: Bruce Wayne is second to none when it comes to contemporary masters of time management!

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Ah Fu came in with afternoon tea in person. Seeing that the distance between the two had exceeded the safety limit, the corners of Ah Fu's mouth couldn't hold back.If it wasn't for worrying about poor hospitality, Ah Fu really didn't want to come in and disturb his young master's good business right now.

"Master, afternoon tea is ready."

With a sweet smell lingering at the tip of his nose, Ian's eyes lit up when he saw the exquisite English afternoon tea.He didn't want to admit that the main reason for agreeing to come to eat was because of Ah Fu's skills, and he really wanted to abduct him home.

The two moved and sat down at the low table.

"Mr. Yi—"

"Ah Fu can just call me Ian." Ian frowned, and his tone was much more familiar than when he first came here.

"Mr. Ian, coffee or tea?" Ah Fu also wanted to be more friendly, but as the most respectful butler, he politely added the word "Sir".

"Coffee, just add milk, thank you." In order to eat two more chocolates and delicious macarons, the coffee must not be too sweet.

"The young master doesn't like adding sugar either."

"..." Bruce touched his forehead in embarrassment, his eyes signaled that Ah Fu should stop.

Ian took a sip of his coffee, and the warm feeling ran across his throat, dispelling the chill all over his body. He sighed comfortably from the bottom of his heart, and leaned on the sofa in a relaxed manner.Cucumbers cut into small pieces just enough to eat [-]

Sandwiches, English muffins topped with jam and cream, colorful and exquisite macarons... If it weren't for the stomach waiting for the big meal in the evening, Ian almost couldn't control his hands that couldn't stop.

"Mr. Ian is still used to it?" Ah Fu smiled, in fact, he had already seen that the other party liked his afternoon tea very much.

"This is the most authentic English tea I've ever had."

"Mr. Ian may come here often if he likes it. The young master also likes you as a friend."

"Cough..." Bruce coughed lightly, as if he was choking on the coffee.

Ah Fu bowed slightly, "Ah Fu will not bother the young master and Mr. Ian."

"I don't know if Bruce can give up his love?" Irion smiled and looked at someone who rarely showed a little extra emotion.

"Huh?" Bruce didn't react for a moment, and then realized the meaning of the words.

"Ah Fu is family." The conversation changed, and Bruce pretended to be calm: "But the door of Wayne Manor is always open for you."

"So this is the real Bruce." The light brown eyes were full of smiles, like bright diamonds. "So warm and hospitable, how can there be such a rejection of people thousands of miles away as rumored by the outside world."

The last sentence is a little dissatisfied, as if blaming outsiders for not being fair enough.

"Where's Ian?" Bruce took a sip of his coffee, "What is the real Ian like?" Even if he is the heir of a group, his whereabouts in the past 20 years are really a mystery. His existence seems to be just a piece of paper, Bruce Really more and more curious.

"Since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point." Ian put on a posture of talking about things, and his tone was not as friendly as before. "Didn't Bruce plan to hide in Wayne Manor all the time and keep his ears shut?"

"Are you caring about me?" It was clearly a question but inexplicably determined.

"..." Even after hundreds of generations, he still lacks the confidence to face a boss like Bruce.

"I care more about Batman." It seems to deny, but actually admits that since he has been seen through, Ian will no longer cover up. Sometimes the more you cover up, the easier it is to expose more.

Bruce raised the corners of his lips and seemed to be in a good mood, "I accept this concern."

"I'm afraid Bruce has misunderstood. I am concerned about whether my game can be released on time, and whether a certain character will be affected for some reason after the release." His white fingertips tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly, revealing a few Very casual, as if he was really just a businessman who cared about his business.

"...I remember that it was not stated in the contract that Batman must ensure that his reputation will not be damaged." The attitude of the other party changed so quickly that Bruce, who had always been calm, couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"What are you thinking about? Or what are you afraid of?" Ian looked directly at Bruce, as if trying to see through him.

It wasn't until this moment that Bruce's body was slightly loose, revealing a slight fatigue, and soon he shrugged, as if the moment of vulnerability just now was an illusion.And all this did not escape Ian's eyes, and he followed closely in his heart.

"According to Ah Fu's words, I'm getting old, even if I don't want to admit it, I can't do what I want. Since I have to retire sooner or later, why don't I take this opportunity and focus on being Bruce Wayne who is passionate about education in the future."

If there is no future, Ian absolutely agrees with Bruce's decision with both hands and feet, and even persuades him that Batman is not his responsibility, don't let the original life become a mask instead.But fate has already arranged everything in secret in advance, not only Gotham, but the world cannot do without Batman.

As strong as Bruce, when faced with the overwhelming accusations from the people who once tried their best to protect him, he would also feel pain and sadness, and even become discouraged and want to quit.Since one day he will be forcibly pulled back by fate and continue to protect this world that does not understand him, why bother to suffer more.

"Did you leave the stage with a body full of sewage? This is not like the Batman I know." Ian sneered, "I thought Batman was the only hope in the dark, maybe I was thinking too much."

"Doctors can't heal themselves, so what's the point of my self-defense, crossing the line is crossing the line, not to mention some things are indisputable facts."

"Then they know that you secretly paid for all the treatment costs, found the top doctors, invested a lot of money in the research of bionic prosthetics, and even used various methods to provide them with a safe new environment without any trace?"

"Are you complaining for me... Batman?" Bruce changed his words temporarily, thinking that the person opposite seemed to be wrong.In short, they are all alone, and thinking of this, Bruce's chest surges with warmth.

The mood at this moment is probably like coffee with milk, the bitterness is so weak that only the mouthful of milk is left.Bruce took a quick sip of the milky coffee that was about to bottom out, and slowed down to swallow it slowly, so that the delicacy would stay in his mouth for a while.

"..." Oops, I couldn't hold on!Ian simply started to smash the cans.

"Everyone has a superhero dream in their hearts. I can't do it. Don't stop me from worshiping it secretly."

Hmph, it's comforting to hear that I'm your fan.

"That's why you developed a game based on superheroes, and you deliberately donated all the proceeds to charity in the name of superheroes, just to support your idol."

"Don't think too much, I'm not for Batman. For him, I just have a little worship at most, probably like the milk froth at the bottom of this glass, you can't tell when it will burst with a bang. My best What I admire is..." There is always a disadvantage, only he can influence others, how can he be led away by others, the more Ian thinks about it, the more unhappy he becomes, and the words he speaks are a bit careless.

Who do you most admire?Fuck, how can I say such shameless words, Ian is so embarrassed to death, but the water splashed by the words can't be taken back, Ian bites the bullet and thinks which superhero to use number.A handsome and gentle face immediately came to mind, without any hesitation...

"Captain America."

"How much admiration?" Bruce had already seen through Ian's awkwardness and knew that he was trying to be brave, so he thought of teasing him.

Do you know that you have a soft heart that is rare in the world?It wasn't until then that Bruce really brought Ian into safety.

"..." Can they still have a pleasant chat? No one is eager to ask the bottom line even though they know they have already been compared to others.

It is of course impossible for Ian to show weakness at this time, you must let you feel the differential treatment between the heaven and the earth.

"If I were a woman, I would marry him."

"Cough cough cough..." Bruce never expected it to be this answer, he couldn't catch his breath, choked into the trachea, coughing until Jun's face flushed.

Ian raised his eyebrows proudly.Hmph, Xiao Mian, who is still a little younger than me, Ian who consciously won a round.

"It's a pity that you're not a woman, but maybe Captain America doesn't mind?" Bruce, who finally regained his composure, spoke in shocking words.

"..." There was a kind of dug a hole to bury himself, and even specially asked someone to ram the porcelain to make it firm.

Bruce, the teacher doesn't love you anymore.

"Master, dinner is ready."

The regular knock on the door sounded again, Ah Fu pushed the door open, and saw his young master blushing slightly, with a smile in his eyes, but Mr. Ian looked slightly annoyed, the distance between the two seemed really close .

This... this... this must be something that happened that he didn't know about.The young master really got the hang of it, Ah Fu tried his best to suppress the mood that was almost crying with joy.
