Chapter 19 19
Dick pointed at himself and said something, Si Xing didn't know, but after saying this sentence, the female shopkeeper first looked at him in surprise and then never looked at Dick with shy eyes again.
After a while Dick came out of the shop with three cones.
A smile appeared on Dick's face, and he said, "What happened today must have brought you a lot of trouble." After speaking, he handed over the cone in his left hand that was bigger than the other two Give it to the Secretary.
Si Xing lowered his head and looked at the large cone in his hand. In fact, since he was a little older, he no longer likes these desserts that only increase fat.
What the eldest brother promised him in the past, now another person has come to fulfill it.
It feels odd that this missing desire is being made up.
He looked up at Dick, who still had a warm and bright smile on his face.
Dick Grayson, the adopted son of Gotham baby Bruce Wayne, graduated from Gotham University and is now a police officer in the Gotham Police Department.
Just such an ordinary person.
Si Xing stretched out his pink tongue and licked the tip of the cone, rolling up a ball of snow-white. This action made Dick stunned for a moment, and said with emotion in his heart, it really looks like a cat.
Si Xing didn't hate it, in fact he felt pretty good.
Si Xing pretended not to care and asked casually: "By the way, what did you just tell the shopkeeper?"
"Ah, this..." Dick stretched out his hand and tried to tap his palm, remembering that he was still holding a cone, and said, "I told him that you are my son, and your mother and I have a stable relationship."
Hearing that Dick said that he had a son as old as Sixing, the female shopkeeper was too embarrassed to say anything else and continued to pester Dick.
"..."
...to bring back my feeling okay.
Dick gave the remaining two cones to Peter and Ned, who stood behind them.
Peter and Ned accepted the cones a little flattered. "Ah, thank you."
Dick shrugged and said, "These two were given to me by the shopkeeper. I don't eat sweets, so I gave them to you. Children of your age should like them very much?"
After speaking, Dick turned back again, leaning against the wall and waiting for Si Xing to finish eating the cone.
"The people of Gotham are so welcoming. Before I came here, I heard that people from outside Gotham don't welcome people from outside. Now it seems that the marketing account earns my clicks." Ned was discussing with Peter in a low voice.
Peter bit his cone and replied: "I told you a long time ago not to define Gotham too early. A good person is a good person. No matter where they are, their nature will not change."
The two of them talked very quietly, but whether it was Dick or Si Xing, their keen hearing allowed them to hear the conversation between Peter and Ned.
Dick and Si Xing exchanged glances quickly, reading helplessness and sarcasm in each other's eyes respectively.
Si Xing bit off the outer crispy skin with two bites, together with the rest of the ice cream inside, some ice cream burst out of the crispy skin due to the force, part of it dripped on the ground, and part of it hung on Si Xing's face superior.
Si Xing wiped off the ice cream at the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and he pouted slightly looking at the ice cream in his hand.
He stuck out his tongue and quickly licked off the ice cream on his fingers, and then took out the toilet paper from his trouser pocket with his other hand to wipe his fingers and cheeks.
They just turned around.
"Wait a minute, sir." Peter's voice came from behind them, and Si Xing knew it was definitely not calling himself, so he turned around a little slower than Dick.
"Sir..." Peter glanced at Dick, who looked gentle from every angle, and Si Xing, who was yawning with his head tilted and his arms folded.
"Sir, you're a policeman, aren't you?" Peter took a closer look at the inconspicuous GCPD logo on Dick's shirt, and he certainly wouldn't have noticed it if his eyesight hadn't been sharper than ordinary people's.
The criminal police of the Gotham Police Department are different from the traffic police and civilian police. They don't need to wear distinctive uniforms all the time. The assigned work clothes are no different from ordinary shirts.
It's just that Dick's police uniform is specially made, because the first time he wore the work uniform distributed by the police station, he was almost hospitalized because of his sensitive skin.
So his clothes were custom-made by Wayne Manor.The words GCPD on the clothes were not printed, but embroidered stitch by stitch. Compared with the big black printed, the words on his overalls were not obvious.
Dick was keenly aware that the young child in front of him noticed this, and ordinary people would not have such good eyesight.
"Yes. Do you need any help from me?" Dick nodded and asked gently.
"Actually, we are students of Midtown High School in New York. We came to Gotham for a study tour today. We got separated from the teacher leading the team for some minor reasons." Peter scratched his head and said.
"Actually, it's not a small reason. We just went to fight criminals..." Ned hadn't finished speaking, but he was choked back by Peter's elbow and turned into a cry: "... hiccup."
"Hey...hey...I ate a little too much today." Ned said shyly.
"We are not familiar with the roads around here..." Peter said nothing, he guessed that the nice gentleman in front of him could understand what he meant.
Hearing New York and Midtown High, Dick immediately thought of Spider-Man in New York, and not long ago Bruce and Dick got a party invitation from Tony Stark.
Although Batman and Iron Man are not on the same page, Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark have close business partners, and due courtesy should still be done.
After Tony Stark got drunk, he began to brag about their new protégé of the Avengers, Peter Parker, a genius kid who got superpowers after being bitten by a spider and had an excellent mind.
Bruce, who also drank too much, also boasted about the new partner of the Justice League, Thunder Shazam, a superhuman blessed by the six gods, Shazam represented by the two children of Billy Batson and Freddy Freeman them.
Green Arrow Oliver Queen sighed between them, because he couldn't understand the mood and thoughts of their boasting protégés.
Thanks to Iron Man and Batman and a silent Green Arrow in that corner, otherwise everyone would know that Bruce Wayne is Batman and Oliver Quinn is Green Arrow.
Perhaps this news will occupy the headlines for several days after it comes out. It is probably something like this: Are these rich people unable to find a job to do?How to start to be a hero.
Because of Tony Stark's excessive bragging, Dick Grayson immediately used the Batcave's intelligence network to investigate part of the information about Spider-Man after returning to the Batcave.
Dick nodded and said, "So you need me to take you to meet the teacher, right?"
Peter said a little shyly: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome. You just need to tell us how far it is from the Gotham Library, how to get there by car and how much it will cost...we don't have much money on us."
Peter's voice trailed off.
Peter is a talkative person, which is shown to acquaintances and family members. In fact, he is easy to shy and doesn't like to talk too much in front of people he doesn't know.
In fact, there are not many cases of asking for help from others now, and it is not uncommon before. It is just that he is often rejected because he is not popular at school.
"Huh? The Gotham Great Library?" Dick immediately had a route in his mind.
"It's quite far... It takes about 5 hours to go through two areas in the center of Gotham, and the middle side is full of gambling. It will take about [-] hours from here to the Gotham Great Library."
"Huh? It's so far away." Ned's face wrinkled all of a sudden, and it looked a little funny with his round face. "I'm sure I'll be scolded by the teacher when I go back... I'm sure I'm going to die."
Seeing his expression, Si Xing couldn't help but let out a sneer of unknown meaning.And when they looked at him, they shrugged and said nothing.
Dick couldn't help laughing lightly when he saw the expressions of 'it's over' on the faces of the two of them. He said in a clear voice, "Excuse me, can you tell me your names?"
At this time, the two were still not vigilant. They felt that the policeman who had just given them the cone must be a good person.
When Dick heard their names, there was a flash of clarity in his eyes, Peter Parker, is it really Spider-Man?
Dick only knew that Spider-Man was very young, but he didn't expect that he was still a suspicious and vigilant middle school student who didn't understand. Tony Stark was so assured that his own child would come to Gotham?
Peter and Ned quickly reported their names to Dick, and then Peter remembered to ask: "Sir, do you know what our names are for?"
"Huh?" Dick tilted his head and said, "I will file for you so that I can drive you there directly in a police car."
A part of Gotham's highway is reserved for the police, fire brigade, and ambulance. As long as they report to the police, Dick can abuse his power and send Peter and Ned to the Gotham Library.
What's more, after reporting to the police, this is not considered abuse of power, it is also considered a case, but this case is not under the jurisdiction of the criminal police.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Police." Peter jumped up happily, and Ned also tried to jump like a vigorous little spider, but his body did not allow it.
"Follow me to the police station. It's near here. There's a police car in the garage." Dick smiled.
Si Xing yawned, turned around to leave, there was nothing wrong with him here.
"Why?" Si Xing looked down at his wrist which was grabbed by Dick, he shook it but did not shake it off.
Si Xing looked up at Dick's innocent face. "Anyway, you can't go back home, and you have nothing to do, and you can't fall asleep on the road, just stay with me."
Si Xing raised his eyebrows, realizing that Dick was making fun of his thick dark circles under his eyes and his sleepless expression.
Si Xing glanced at Peter and Ned, who were chattering excitedly. He leaned forward and put his feet on his feet, and whispered in Dick's ear: "Find out our identities? I'm a thief, you're a policeman." , you let me get into the police car with you?"
Dick was shocked at first, he had never been whispered in the ear before, a tingling sensation spread from the ears all the way to the whole body, and finally gathered together and returned to the ears.
Dick couldn't help but take a small step back, he covered his ear and stared at Si Xing in disbelief with a blushing face.
Si Xing imitated the innocent wink that Dick used most often in front of him, and imitated Dick's usual appearance ten to ten.
This is too strange, right?Dick thought, his ears still burning.
Dick stared at Si Xing, who had an innocent face but gloating eyes.
He thought it was actually pretty good.
