Chapter 3051 Mercury Notes (XI)
Chapter 3025 Mercury (11)
"Why are you looking at me?" Bruce rolled his eyes and said, "Stop thinking about it. Take the photo back, find 10 inferable details from the photo, and write it into a short paper. Give it to me tomorrow morning in detail. a little."
Jenna finally came to her senses, nodded hurriedly and said, "Oh, okay professor, how many words do you want to write?"
"500 words is enough, pay attention to punctuation."
Jenna took the photo and nodded and left. Bruce turned around and found a photo left on the table. It was the photo of the body taken from above the oil drum.
The corpse was curled up in the oil drum, as peaceful as a sleeping baby.
Because he had to make up extra classes in the evening, Bruce felt a little hungry. He went to the cafeteria to ask for a meal, and found that Schiller was there.
"Good evening, professor, didn't you have dinner tonight?"
Schiller shook his head and said: "I am busy revising the paper at night."
"Whose paper?"
"Barry's, he still has two final words, which haven't been finalized. I had a two-hour video conference with him."
"I'm giving Jenna tutoring tonight." Bruce paused and then continued: "She is very talented in every aspect."
"You want her to be Batgirl?"
"That's not true, I don't even have Robin, but I think she and her brother do need more guidance. They both have good talents. Oliver is more interested in his brother and thinks he has leadership qualities."
"They're too young," Schiller said. "Just like you were when you were young."
"I'm not old now," Bruce whispered.
"You should know that this phenomenon can be called degenerative psychology, right?"
"But it's healthy, that's what the textbook says."
"Yes, a youthful mentality often comes from a happy and beautiful life, and it cannot be regarded as a disease. But if you continue to say so, people will think that you like to pretend to be young."
"I don't care what they say." Bruce snorted.
"How have you slept lately?" Schiller asked as he took the plate from the robot's head.
"It's not bad." Bruce said as if he had remembered something: "I talk to Selena until late every day, and I often forget to charge my phone. I really, really miss her, but unfortunately, both of us are now Too busy."
Bruce held up his face, looking down at the things on the plate from time to time, and said: "I rarely talked to her so much before, and when we chatted, I always made small talk. Sometimes I felt that I had nothing to talk about with her. Then he stopped."
"But recently, we seem to have endless topics to talk about. She talks about her experience on the West Coast, and I talk about my experiences in the fighting world. Every time we talk, I put down my phone until I am so sleepy that I can't open my eyes. She said so too."
"And we rarely talk about our children. I found that a year ago, our conversations always revolved around Aisha, and they were a bit polite. Most of the time, she asked how Aisha was doing, and I replied pretty well."
"But we often talk about the two of us recently, the past, and the future, which makes me feel really good, but I don't know if this situation will be broken if we meet."
"Why do you think there is such a change?" After Schiller asked, as if he suddenly remembered something, he shook his head and said, "Well, you don't need to answer, because not only have you grown up over the years, but so has she. , do you remember how long she lived independently?"
"She hasn't been there since she was born...oh, you mean in a normal society, it's been a few years."
"Yes, she has grown up, and she has seen a lot of things in the upper class. She has begun to understand you, why you wear suits and ties, why you also put expensive dresses on her, and why you can't discuss theft at banquets. And shot, why not every gem seen can be taken away by her."
"She must have learned a lot of lessons." Bruce's voice deepened, and he said: "She just rushed into Hollywood like that. I can't imagine how many difficulties she encountered to get where she is today. Maybe I shouldn't have done it in the first place. Agree with her..."
"Then you will never be able to chat like today." Schiller looked into Bruce's eyes and said: "She knows that she and you are in two different worlds. She didn't just rush into Hollywood, she just bumped into it without hesitation. In your world."
Bruce turned his face away, his features creased with pain, took a deep breath, and said, "Because I didn't go to her."
"You have gone, you have been there a long time ago."
Bruce was slightly startled. He thought of the days in the slums, which was almost the same time that Selina left Gotham.
He thought so, just when Selena chose to take a step towards him, he also chose to take that step towards Selina. The two of them really had a connection.
"It's just that you're smarter than her." Schiller said: "It took you months to understand slums, and it took her years to understand Hollywood."
"No, it's not that I'm smarter than her, it's just that the path she chose is more difficult than mine." Bruce squeezed the fork tightly until his fingertips turned white. He said, "I know what kind of world it is. She A girl like this will be bruised all over."
"But that's the way cats are." Schiller said with a smile: "It won't rush into your arms and act coquettishly just because it's hurt. It will just sit silently in the corner and lick its wounds, and turn over to you when you care about it. Roll your eyes."
Bruce seemed to remember something and laughed. He quickly took out his phone and typed, but soon stopped again, showing a tangled expression. He deleted all the words he had typed before, but started typing again after a while.
"What do you want to ask her?"
"I want to know why she chose to leave Gotham."
"Affected by certain external forces." Schiller said directly: "It should be one of her friends who persuaded her."
"Persuaded her to go to Hollywood?"
"No, she may just emphasize the fact that you two are not from the same world. You may just be playing around. If she falls in love, she will be seriously hurt."
Bruce showed a dissatisfied expression, but he didn't say anything, because under the circumstances at that time, this statement was correct. It can even be said that this friend must be really thinking about Selina.
Otherwise, dating a rich man is a good thing for one person, and her friends will also benefit from it. If they are really selfish, they will only persuade Selina to use her beauty to trap him so that they can use his relationship to do things, without caring about Selina's fate.
"In fact, that should have been just her attempt." Schiller thought for a while and said, "But you gave her a surprise, because just when she tried to take that step towards you, you also took a step towards her."
"Yes, I remember that Selina's temper has improved a lot since then. I thought it was my performance in the slums that made her think I was a fool..."
Bruce showed a ridiculous expression and soon started to press his phone again. It seemed that Selina had replied to him. After taking a look, he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said.
"Indeed, her friend Maggie persuaded her, and Selina is not the kind of person who will sit and wait for death. She decided to make one last attempt. Fortunately, I did not let her down."
"I only have one question, doesn't your phone have a camera?"
"No, no, no, video calls will destroy this sense of mystery." Bruce shook his head like a rattle, and he said, "That will reduce the sense of surprise when we really meet, so we only chat by text."
Schiller shook his head, as if he couldn't understand the young people nowadays.
Bruce was absent-mindedly eating and chatting there, when suddenly a phone call came in, and Bruce picked up the phone with some surprise.
"Oh, Jenna." Bruce raised his eyebrows and showed Schiller a smug expression, as if to say, look, this little girl is also happy to deal with me, so you can't blame me for wanting to adopt her, right?
But listening to Jenna's chatter, Bruce showed a helpless expression, and said: "Yes, it takes 10 details and 500 words, not 5 details and 10 hundred (10 hundred) words, OK, good night."
"10 hundred..." Bruce said with a grin: "She is like Elsa who just learned to speak, she can count to 1000 hundred."
Schiller was almost finished eating, he stacked up the plates, and then said: "You should pay more attention, don't waste her talent."
"I believe that only letting her take psychology classes is a waste of her talent. Tomorrow Diana will teach them fighting, and I believe she will do well in this aspect."
"Keep your confidence."
Bruce finished eating soon, he planned to go back to his dormitory quickly, lie on the bed and chat with Selina, of course, he could also make a voice call, which would not destroy the mystery.
After returning to the dormitory, Bruce took a shower, dried his hair, changed into pajamas, and lay down beautifully. Before he dialed the number to his girlfriend, another call came in.
"...What if you can't find 10 details? Can't you try harder? There are 26 photos, and you can't find 10 details???"
"No, don't talk to me in that tone. I'm not your brother. It's useless to act like a spoiled child. ... I'm strict? I'm responsible..."
"Okay, since this is your first time writing a paper, it's ok to find 5 details, right? Yes, just 5 details plus your reasoning process, and hand it in on time tomorrow morning!"
After hanging up the phone, Bruce sighed. When he calls Selina later, he must talk about this matter in detail. He thinks even Selina can find 10 details.
Less than two minutes after the two of them got on the phone, another call came in, and Bruce had to say, "Wait a minute, baby, I'll take a call."
Bruce picked up the phone and found that it was Jenna again. After hearing what Jenna said, he widened his eyes and said, "Why do you need to write 250 words to find 5 details? Because of mathematical rules??? What mathematical rules???"
"Reduced fraction? No, wait a minute, you mean that because the details to be found are halved, the number of words to be written should also be halved?? Am I bullying you for not understanding mathematics???"
"No, no, no, Jenna, listen to me, I say how many words it is, okay? If you can't write 500 words with 5 details, then write 10 details!"
"You can't write it? Didn't I ask you to write 5?... No, you can't write 250 words!!!"
Because Bruce answered Jenna's call with another mobile phone and didn't hang up Selena's call, Selena heard Bruce's roar.
After a few minutes, Bruce picked up the phone that was talking to Selina again and said, "Sorry, baby, I just went to calm down. Let's continue."
Just as he was about to say something, another phone rang. Bruce picked up the phone and roared at the other end: "I said 500 words, due tomorrow morning, no negotiation!!!"
"Oh, Clark, it's nothing, I'm not angry, I just spoke a little louder, believe me, I really am not, I am very calm now, calm..."
