Chapter 830 The Charm of Education (Part 2)
The wealthy area at night is quiet and peaceful. The footsteps of people returning home will not seem abrupt here. Every wealthy and peaceful person here longs for the embrace of home.
The mailbox switch engraved with cursive English words was blown by the wind. Wayne's name was engraved on the door of the mailbox. One hand pressed the switch that was moving and turned it up.
Bruce pushed open the door of the manor and looked at the warm light coming out of the window, feeling a little relieved.
He just walked into the hall of the manor when a figure rushed towards him. Bruce subconsciously opened his arms and hugged Aisha who rushed over, while Alfred, who was chasing behind, cleared his throat.
Bruce held Aisha in front of him and said to her seriously: "Don't jump on people..."
"Dad! Dad!" Aisha shouted twice, then struggled to jump off him, ran to Alfred, shook his head at him, and Alfred picked her up. Aisha said: "Dad! No smell! No alcohol!"
Bruce shook his head, and Alfred looked at him with a smile and said: "Master, have you finished your homework?"
Bruce walked towards the sofa and said: "Yes, I have handed in part of it."
"I heard from Mrs. Bird from the neighbor's house that the competition for outstanding graduates of Gotham University this year is very fierce. Are you sure, master?"
Bruce looked around the hall, then looked at Alfred and said: "Where is Dick? Shouldn't he go home today?"
"He's playing in the backyard. Do you want me to call him over?"
"No need." Bruce stood up again and said: "I'll go see him."
Bruce walked through the hall, walked through the corridor and came to the back garden. He found that not only Dick was there, but Selina was also there.
At this time, on the lawn of the back garden, Selena was playing with a roller, which was a gymnastic roller consisting of two rings and a bracket connecting the two rings in parallel.
Selena supported the two iron rings, rotating the iron rings while performing various acrobatic moves in the iron rings. She said: "Look at me! I will teach you the nine-ring chain! You have to do this first, see? Support your arms on the rings, and then use inertia to swim your upper body forward and roll——"
Selena used her strength flexibly and rolled directly headfirst. After holding both sides of the iron ring with both hands and swam around, she stood steadily on the iron ring again.
Bruce felt his blood pressure rise suddenly.
Unexpectedly, Dick really wanted to try it. He jumped onto the iron ring, supported the two sides of the iron ring with his hands and said, "How to do it? Um... push forward with your upper body... Oh! God!"
Dick swung forward, but his center of gravity was unstable and he fell directly off the iron ring. The iron ring hit him heavily, making him scream. Bruce walked over quickly and moved the iron ring away from him.
Dick got up from the ground, rubbed his waist, and when he saw Bruce, he took a step back nervously and said, "Oh, Mr. Wayne, I'm sorry, that, I shouldn't play this here, it will damage the lawn..."
"What are you afraid of? He is a rich man, just fix it if it is damaged." Selina shrugged indifferently and tried to push the iron ring from Bruce's hand, but Bruce held the iron ring tightly with his arm and stared at Selina. Selina said innocently, "Why? Am I wrong? Do you really care about the lawn?"
"Don't you have any sports protection measures?" Bruce asked, "And you go directly to the equipment without any training?"
Selina showed a helpless expression, waved her hand and said, "Mr. Wayne, can you find something more troublesome? We just find something to play with and exercise our bodies..."
"Besides I have practiced gymnastics with Dick. Do you think this thing is difficult? I can guarantee that in less than ten minutes, he can play more proficient than me. You look at him too! " An helpless expression, saying, "I hate ghosts!" "Sorry, Mr. Wayne, I go back to read the book." Dick was going to leave after speaking, but Bruce paused when he heard his tone, saying, "Wait, like Selina, you can learn this thing soon?" His face, seeing his move, Bruce frowned, some psychological terms and explanations appeared in his mind. "Selina, show me again. Dick, come here..." Bruce pointed at the iron ring and said, "If you want to play with this thing, remember to use sports protection and have a third person by your side. Otherwise, if your spine is broken, no one will carry you to the hospital..."
Dick nodded, and Selina climbed onto the iron ring again and swung around. But this time, Dick's arms were shaking when he climbed onto it, and his strength was far worse than before, so he fell down directly.
Bruce tried to ease his expression as much as possible, but Dick still shook his head and said, "I may have no strength. Let's go back to read."
"No, Dick, didn't you practice gymnastics before? I think you can try it again." Bruce said, Dick opened his eyes wide, and seemed a little surprised, and Bruce looked at him and said, "I don't object to you practicing dance and gymnastics. It's okay to join the choir. If you finish your homework, you can play with gymnastics equipment, but you must pay attention to safety."
Selena showed a bright smile, stuck to Bruce's arm, and said, "Can I do it too? Can you get a gymnastics room in the manor? I have wanted to play uneven bars for a long time!"
Bruce looked at Dick and asked, "Do you want to play? Or do you want to be a gymnast? Or a circus member? Or a dancer?"
"Uh, I..." Dick stuttered and said, "I don't know."
Bruce lowered his head and said to Selena, "Go find Alfred, Choose the gymnastics equipment you like, and send it here after it is customized. The warehouses next to it have not been used for a long time. You can turn them into playgrounds or gymnastics rooms. "
Selina cheered and ran to find Alfred. Only Bruce and Dick were left on the grass. Bruce held the iron ring and said, "Do you remember what you wanted to do when you asked me to take you in?"
Dick lowered his head, then nodded and said, "I just want to learn some skills. I don't want the Grayson family to continue to decline. I want to find out about my grandfather's case..."
Dick took a deep breath and said, "My grades in school are not bad, so I..."
"Do you want to continue trying this?" Bruce pushed the iron ring equipment and said, "I can hold you, so you can use more strength."
Dick shook his head and said, "No, I haven't played circus for a long time. My limbs are a little stiff. I may still fall down."
"Are you afraid of falling down?" Bruce asked.
"No, I just..." Dick paused again and said, "Don't you think it's embarrassing? I fell to the ground, was hit by the iron ring, and got covered in mud. I'll have to ask Alfred to help me wash my clothes..."
"I knew long ago that I couldn't do this here. I couldn't tell my classmates that I had practiced gymnastics. When I was dancing ballet, the teacher praised me for my flexibility. I could only smile and couldn't let them know that I was a member of the circus, otherwise. They would laugh at me..."
Bruce saw a mask on Dick's face again. Perhaps, when he didn't care about Dick's school career, he could only use this method to integrate into the group for comfort.
The formation of the mask is not caused by one or two days, or one or two people. When people crave love from this society, they will voluntarily wear a mask.
And if you want to take off this mask, there are only two ways. One is to fully understand that society will not give him love, and the other is that other people can give him enough love.
"Come on, Dick, if you feel your limbs are stiff, do some warm-up exercises and try a few more times. I can control this hoop and you won't fall down." Bruce walked to the other side of the hoop and said, "If you want to learn skills from me, you can't be afraid of falling."
"I'm going out again tonight. If you want to follow me, you have to jump from a very high place and then swing up with a hook rope. If you are afraid of heights, you can't fly."
Dick stared at Bruce, his eyes brightened a little, and he said, "Are you willing to take me out? Just like Batman? Shuttle between alleys and high-rise buildings, really?"
"The premise is that you have to finish your homework." Bruce shrugged and said, "But I think . It should not be difficult for you. If you have finished your homework, you can play gymnastics equipment for a while, and then go to the basement with me. I teach you how to use a hook. But still say: "Yes. Yes, I need you to help, just tonight." Dick started the stretching movement for a long time, and when he did warm -up action, Bruce found that his flexibility was really amazing, the frontal body flexion, a word horse, and high -lifting were easy to lift him, and the balance and flexibility were impeccable. Holding the equipment of the equipment, his fingers moved, his waist was pushing forward, his upper body leaned out, and he rolled directly out. A beautiful rolling movement returned to the original position.
Dick, who succeeded for the first time, seemed a little excited, but soon he calmed down and coughed deeply, saying, "Not bad, right? I may have lacked a little warm-up just now..."
"Can you do something more difficult?" Bruce asked, "Like what Selina did just now?"
Dick stamped his feet excitedly and said, "It should be possible, but...but you have to hold me, I'm afraid I will fall..."
Bruce was silent for a while, then whispered, "I will hold you...Don't be afraid."
