92, moderate seat(1/2)
Stay still, don't panic, and act more naturally.
Wen tried his best to maintain a friendly smile, cheering for his own state in his heart: Stay steady, you must stay steady, this kind of scene is nothing, didn't you see Bruce Wayne also froze after saying these words?!
It shows that he also realized that there was something wrong with their conversation and relationship!
It doesn't matter, she's not the only one who thinks something is wrong. It doesn't matter. Just stay calm and don't panic.
If you hold on steady, you will win. Whoever panics will be embarrassed!
With this thought in mind, Wen forced his eyes to focus entirely on Bruce.
There is no way, she is not a coward, and she definitely has the courage to face things she must face, but this kind of embarrassment, this level of embarrassment, this kind of pure embarrassment...
If she doesn't face it, she won't face it even if she dies.
Wen forced himself to reject distracting thoughts, and his eyes couldn't help but focus on Bruce's naked arm. He couldn't help it, this arm was too conspicuous and eye-catching, and the lines were amazing.
Bruce reacted just now when his bratty brother spoke arrogantly, and Wen held down his arm just to prevent Bruce from scolding him.
She didn't want Bruce to smooth things over. To do so, she would have to endure his brother's speech. He would just skip his self-introduction. Anyway, she would live with him under the same roof for a long time, so she would have plenty of time to fight with him...
...As for the action of holding down Bruce's arm and pinching it twice, damn, she was really shocked by the strength of that arm at that time!
That arm feels like Captain America or Superman, no exaggeration.
Wen almost felt the huge power hidden in the muscles under his fingers as soon as he pressed it.
As an ignorant playboy with nothing to do, Mr. Wayne's muscles are too outrageous. They are definitely not muscles that can be obtained through body shaping training in the gym.
Wen understands this.
The difference between muscle and muscle is not much smaller than the difference between muscle and fat.
Taking her body as an example, she can easily complete difficult ballet movements and has extremely strong endurance and explosive power, but she doesn't have much muscle mass at all from her appearance.
The number of muscles in a person's body and whether the muscles are easily visible are determined by genes, and Wendy was not born with the kind of physique that has a lot of muscles and is easy to display.
Secondly, it is also because the force exertion mode of ballet is not conducive to highlighting the shape of muscles. People who are good at fitness should know that some training will make certain muscles bulge, but some training will make certain muscles hide deeper.
Bruce's muscles are so weird, and the abnormality on his body is the biggest abnormality in this family.
In addition, the labels placed on him by the outside world cannot be fully believed.
"Everything I saw today shattered my entire understanding of the Wayne surname," Wen said, raising her head and trying to steer the conversation to a less awkward place, "Dick is not like what Gotham News criticized."
"Tim was defeated in the struggle between wealthy families and retired sadly." Tim is very talented, and his public news is almost all filled with praise, but in this family he is quite silent. As for you, Mr. Wayne."
"As for me?" Bruce quickly followed Wen and adjusted his tone and expression. "As for me, the media's propaganda is not nonsense. I have to admit that I have done many ridiculous things, but the media will only print them on press releases.
It’s a one-sided statement that people like to see - people only like to see me make mistakes, so they can only see me make mistakes."
what happened?
This father, whose emotional intelligence has always been worrying in Wen's mind, doesn't seem to have any emotional intelligence problems at all.
"You don't seem to have any intention of rehabilitating your reputation," Wen said.
"Compared to the fact that rich people are not only born with large trust funds and have huge inheritances to inherit, they are also smarter and harder working than most poor people," Bruce replied arrogantly, "Let them believe that 'rich people are stupid'
It seems easier to keep them mentally balanced."
Oh shit.
This tone, this tone, this content is full of mean and ironic meaning but it still makes sense.
As expected of being the biological father and daughter of Wendy - even though they only live in parallel worlds, the two people's speaking styles are too similar. The only difference is that Wendy uses worse words in front of her, while Bruce is obviously worried about his own image.
.
Wen was surprised to find that she couldn't tell whether Bruce's words were sincere or not.
This situation occasionally happens to Wendy. When Wendy agrees with her words to a certain extent, but not very much, she will say this.
But you should be able to look back at the person opposite you now, right? Is it okay? Damn, the awkward atmosphere is over, right?
Wen tried her best to look at the sofa opposite her as naturally as possible. Impartially, she met Tim's eyes again.
Tim's expression is a little strange.
But Wen felt that she could still accept this little bit of unnaturalness. She could convince herself that this unnaturalness was not because of the weird atmosphere before, but because Tim was not used to having a new member in the family.
She went to see Dick again. Thank God, Dick's expression couldn't be more normal. He showed Wen a big friendly smile, which almost made Wen feel that nothing happened just now - damn! This kind of nonchalance made Wen feel more normal.
It’s even weirder with Tim!
And now no one takes the initiative to speak.
Help, why is this, why are these people so weird, do you welcome my sister or not, why is it so difficult for you to guess!
However, what Wen didn't know was that everyone had the same thoughts in their minds when facing her.
——Why is Wen so difficult to guess?!
It's hard to guess that they don't know what topic to start with. Although everyone present except Damian is very good at dealing with women, Wen is obviously different from all the women they have interacted with in the past.
Obviously you cannot treat your daughter/sister with the same attitude you treat female colleagues/female suitors/female friends...etc.
And regarding this point, Bruce has already given a textbook typical failure case.
This failure made them even more afraid to act rashly.
silence.
Awkward silence.
Wen couldn't hold on to her smile anymore, and she began to think about the possibility of her just throwing away her face and leaving. Before coming, Wen was confident that she would not be able to live her life in Wayne's main house as suffocating as Wendy was.
To put it bluntly, she did not live as suffocatingly as Wendy...
She demonstrated a different kind of suffocation.
Embarrassed to the point of suffocation.
Is suffocation the only option in Wayne's main house?! Will staying a few more days unlock more types of suffocation?!
"Master, young masters, Miss Wen." The old housekeeper's voice was like a magic weapon descending from heaven, "Dinner is ready."
"Thank you, Alfred."
"Really? That's great Alfred!"
"Let's go have a meal first."
Everyone present except Damian and Wen gave enthusiastic responses, and the old butler guessed it just from the silence and everyone's reactions.
He glanced at Bruce disapprovingly.
Bruce looked away silently.
The old butler looked at Wen again. Wen smoothed the long hair scattered on his face behind his ears and gave Alfred an unmistakable smile.
The dining room was not far from the living room, and Wen chose to follow Bruce. Her "father" was obviously not used to having a daughter by his side, but he controlled it forcefully.
It seems because...the distance between them is too close?
It's not particularly close, Wen thought, there was at least a hand's length between her arm and Bruce's.
She usually doesn't care about these social rules and etiquette at all. On the one hand, she really doesn't care. On the other hand, her beautiful appearance makes her know that she can always get more preferential treatment in society. She is even narcissistic. Whether it is the opposite sex or the same sex,
Except for a few who are really remote, they actually wish she could be closer to them——
All right.
This was also the reason why she pinched Mr. Wayne's arm before without thinking in a way that was almost, or rather, definitely flirting.
Although she often doesn't really have the idea of teasing the other person.
But she is so used to using a seductive way to get along with people, maybe she has always been using a seductive way to get along with people.
——No matter whether the other party is a man or a woman, no matter what the other party's identity is.
Wen finally took a moment to reflect on his frivolity.
She really didn't realize that, how should I put it, in her impression of herself, she was really a person who had a very moral sense, a very bottom line, and knew how to get along well with others.
Of course, her wrong self-perception was shattered by reality time and time again.
The fact is that she lacks a sense of morality and a bottom line. To a certain extent, she knows how to get along well with others, but there is a subtle deviation in this "friendliness".
And the direction of this deviation... was exactly the impression Wendy gave her.
She doesn't know how to get along with people normally, she can't make friends, she can only develop romantic relationships with people that are essentially devoid of romance, and she will always mess things up. This is Wendy, and she is not as gentle as she thinks she is.
Tee is the complete opposite.
They are very different, yet extremely similar.
It's like... like two branches growing intertwined, or even completely growing together, like conjoined twins who share most of their organs, like...
It's like two sides of the same person.
Wen suddenly laughed.
"Wen?" Bruce, who had been paying attention to her from the corner of his eye, immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
To be continued...
