[Comprehensive English and American] This is not a serious day-to-day

Peter clearly remembered yesterday that he was still discussing Wayne's gossip with his friends in full swing. Although Rania was very active, Peter knew very well that it was discussing the curiosity of celebrities, not the way that relatives should be treated. Caring is messy.

But that's totally understandable.

Like Rania, Peter was an orphan, his parents left when he was a child and disappeared, leaving him with his aunt and uncle.

And after Uncle Ben passed away, only he and Aunt Mei were left to depend on each other.

Just as Rania fantasized about her biological parents coming to her, Peter also fantasized about such a scene, but he hasn't figured out how to face it if it really happened.

Too many emotions were lingering in his heart, twisted into a mess that couldn't be cut without reason.Peter sometimes didn't know whether he should be happy or angry, whether he should resent or look forward to, whether he could forgive those two blurred figures, and whether they would live up to the countless nights in his dreams. Intertwined yearning.

But Rania is not like that.

Only when you lose will you miss it, and you will yearn for it if you don’t have it. When dealing with the parents she has never met, Raniya’s performance is closer to that of a child who has never lacked love. The unhealed wound even made Peter a little envious and jealous.

He didn't know why, but his little friend seemed neither eager nor envious, and his way of thinking on this matter had a maturity beyond her age, as if she was some kind of species that didn't need to be raised by her parents, and she needed to be alone after she was born. Try to survive, don't need the care of blood relatives like humans.

So from Peter's point of view, he didn't see any complicated inner struggles, he only saw that the little friend was very involved in the drama...

After seeing Dick off, Rania breathed a sigh of relief, and her straight back relaxed a little. Then, she heard Peter's hesitant voice.

"So you decided to go back?" His tone was a little weird, "You said no yesterday, but...forget it, it's not important, but Rania, Rania, Gotham is there! Yes, New York used to be It’s also called Gotham, but it’s different.”

Peter said seriously, "Very, very big difference."

He said: "Are you really sure Mr. Grayson is a good guy - he's trying to lure you to Gotham for just a Starbucks! Do you really believe him? Well, though I checked, he's Bruce Wayne Eun's adopted son, and he's a cop..."

Raniya was really surprised this time: "Is he a policeman?"

Peter: "...Yeah, I know he's not the same as the NYPD cop, he's a bit too handsome for a cop...but that's beside the point!"

"Think of last year's list of the least livable cities in America," he said in a heavy, doomsday tone.

... There is no doubt that Gotham is No.1.

Facing the worry of her little friend, Raniya: "..."

"...Wait," she said with some doubts, "I just said to visit Gotham?"

Peter: "...?"

……

Raniya's leg bones are very strong and healed very quickly, but Raniya thinks this is probably due to the fact that she looks at her legs with the loving eyes of farmers looking forward to the thriving growth of wheat every day...

In short, her calf bone lived up to expectations and grew into a strong bone, which made Rania's mother very pleased.

And after a few days of observation in the hospital, she was finally allowed to leave the hospital—although she still had to use crutches for several months.

The day of discharge from the hospital happened to be the weekend, and Dick meant to take Rania to Gotham during the weekend, so he had the right to go out to play as a holiday.

He seems to be very busy. He didn't visit Rania every day these days, and he came and went in a hurry the day he came to persuade her to go home. Although Rania couldn't see his expression, she still heard that Dick's words were well hidden. He was absent-minded, as if there were more important things occupying his mind.

But Rania didn't care about that.

She is packing her luggage.

After Mister was exposed in front of Dick, Raniya simply gave up on herself. When she was discharged from the hospital, she released Mister in advance, and then lay on her body all the way, using Mister's body to cover the delicate and frail human shell. She carried her son to Dick's car, and basically let Mister do all the things that were inconvenient for her to do.

Naturally, Rania didn't know what kind of expression mixed with emotion and satisfaction appeared on Dick's face when he saw her softly huddled in Mister's arms and refused to move.

If you want to use one word to sum up the eyes of Dick watching them interact, it is probably the eyes of the cute CP...

"By the way," when the car was parked, Dick suddenly remembered something, and turned to Rania and said, "Rania, I have already paid off the gambling debt you owed, so don't rush to refuse, it's just that the creditor has changed—— After all, I'm just a poor little policeman."

He made a joke, then said, "But I don't charge interest, so what?"

He originally thought that Rania would refuse his kindness, or thank him earnestly after hesitation, but Rania's reaction was beyond Dick's expectation.

The little girl was taken aback for a moment, and a little confusion appeared in her eyes. It seemed that there was a sudden emptiness in the dark blue, which made her look a bit caught off guard, and one couldn't help but want to touch her head.

Just a moment later, Rania lowered her head and thanked Dick as earnestly as in the script.

Dick glanced at her, but didn't ask any further questions.

Dick sent them downstairs to the apartment, Rania lay dead all the way home, put herself on the sofa, manipulated Mister to wash the grapes brought by Dick, held them in her arms, peeled them and ate them, while she went to Packing clothes, consciously eating grapes and packing without delay, very witty.

Raniya didn't pack many things, and only packed a backpack after finishing, which is probably equivalent to going on a trip.After she finished packing, she let out a sigh of relief and looked at her results with satisfaction. Thinking about it, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to be carrying a backpack when she came to New York.

Before that, Rania had been running around the world with her former guardian, and she rarely stayed there for more than a few months. The most exciting time was when she found a hotel in the morning, Rania took a nap, and opened her eyes... No, Without opening his eyes, it was Little Mist, who was chasing a bunch of gunmen behind him, hurried back to the small broken hotel, packed the soft dumpling that was still sleeping with his luggage, picked it up simply and rudely, jumped out of the window and ran away under the rain of bullets... …

So it's no wonder that Rania has no concept of "home"...

In her eyes, this world is her home, and every corner is a place to rest. She can pick up her backpack and go on the road at any time, even if she is alone, even if she is going to the end of the world.

When passing by the refrigerator, Raniya paused for a while, staring at a point in the void for a long time, and suddenly put down her backpack.

She stretched out her hand, and her fingertips touched the cold surface, and then a blackboard jumped out of the blank space, suddenly appearing in her field of vision.

Rania held the corner of the blackboard, staring down at the crooked chalk writing on the blackboard.

The blackboard is divided into two halves by a vertical line. Her name is written on the top right, and below are the listed payments. , seems to have been modified many times, and the length is getting shorter and shorter from the chalk marks that have not been wiped clean; the left side is blank, with vague white writing left, as if it was hastily wiped away by someone, leaving only some Messy traces, like some kind of glaring blemish.

The little girl looked at it for a while, and finally sighed as if she had no temper, and erased the chalk writing on the right half.

She put down the blank blackboard, picked up her backpack and threw it behind her back, hugged herself on the sofa, and closed the door of the apartment.

……

Dick was slightly surprised to see Mister walking slowly out of the apartment building with a backpack on her back.

He looked up and down: "Are you only carrying these things?"

Before Rania spoke, Mister explained for her: "If you just stay for a few days, you don't need to bring a lot of things."

The implication is probably that I feel that I am just a guest.

Dick looked like he was about to sigh: "Rania, if you choose to come back, we won't just kick you out, okay?"

Before he finished speaking, Rania raised her head, her expression obviously a little surprised.

Dick thought Rania was a friend who missed New York. He looked at Mister, thought for a while, and said, "If you want, we can help you find a new residence and a new job in Gotham, or..."

Rania recovered from her daze and interrupted him: "Wait."

There was obvious hesitation on the little girl's face. After a moment of hesitation, she raised her head to look at Dick and said, "I think... this matter cannot be decided by me alone."

Dick: "?"

Rania felt that there was a misunderstanding between them - she just wanted to see her father, she didn't intend to become a member of the Wayne family, but from Dick's point of view, he thought the two could be equated .

She considered it for a while and said, "If you want to visit Mr. Wayne, you can do it anytime. I'd like to see him, but..."

From the beginning, Raniya's thinking was simple.

When they met for the first time, Dick just asked her if she wanted to meet her father. From the beginning to the end, he never said anything about Bruce Wayne's attitude. Naturally, Raniya would not bother her. She saw the news before , she just had the idea of ​​letting Mister go to Gotham.

But joining a family is not the same.

Rania asked: "I am willing to choose you, are you willing to choose to accept me?"

……

Putting down a cup of coffee in Batman's hand, Alfred glanced at the screen in front of him.

"Thank you for this opportunity, master, I have been waiting for a girl's room for more than ten years," he said.

"It's not what you think." Facing the butler's ridicule, Batman said with an unchanged expression.

Alfred: "I thought you wouldn't think about raising one more child for so long after picking up four and returning home. I'm just afraid that Master Damian will be unhappy..."

"She's different," Bruce said.

"Because Miss Rania doesn't want to come back?"

Bruce stared at the screen.

"Because she has chosen," he said.

"If she chooses to come back, that's her choice, she chose me, not mine."

Life is not a battle, nor is it a novel published by Random House, and Bruce knows that this time will be different.Raniya is not Dick, not Jason, not Tim, and not Damian, she has her own ideas and rights, he will not interfere with the little girl's choice, no matter what she chooses, is there a flow in her body? What kind of emotion does his blood have for him.

This choice concerns only herself.

For a moment, Alfred felt his young master's back looked old and lonely.

Batman said calmly: "I can't choose her, she can only choose herself."

……

Are you willing to accept a daughter who has been wandering for 15 years, accept her incompleteness, her insufficiency, her abnormality, accept the ensuing responsibilities and the price to be paid to protect her?

Rania didn't say the rest, but her eyes were fixed on Dick, those eyes were blue and pure, like the flames burning in an incinerator, pure, passionate, untainted, and no lies could survive as impurities.

After a long silence, Dick spoke.

"I can't speak for the rest of them," he said, "but if it were me, I think I would."

It was obviously impossible to see his face, and it was impossible to judge the credibility of his words, but the little girl looked at him silently for a few seconds, and slowly stretched out her hand.

——she solemnly placed her hand in his.

……

the next day.

Raniya stood on the steps, looked back down, and sighed a little.

She really doesn't have much experience of jumping around with a cane. If someone wasn't there, she would immediately call out that Mister was leaning on her body. She's very shrewd, and she's not lazy, she's the one holding her, isn't she?

A few steps are a bit high for her, especially when she refuses to be supported by others. Rania feels desperate when she thinks that she will be limping for a few more months, going up and down the steps.

But that's all for the future, Raniya decided not to think about it, but looked up at the blank space in front of her, bent her fingers into a knocking posture, but stopped suddenly before touching the door panel, hesitating and not knowing what to do. You should not knock on the door.

"Raniya." Dick on the side urged her gently.

Rania nodded and closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she didn't hesitate any longer, and gently knocked on the door of Wayne Manor.
