Bruce was lying on the hospital bed, Harvey raised his upper body a little higher, and then poured him a glass of water.
Bruce said with some distress: "She is unstable and moody, really like a cat. I can't figure her out. Now I'm just worried that her irritability will hurt others. After all, I have the best temperament in Gotham."
Good medical resources, but others may not."
"You should be lucky that you didn't have a ruptured kidney. The dagger was very short and only left a very shallow scratch on your organs. Otherwise, you would only have one kidney left now."
Harvey put down the kettle and said: "When I was in school, there was a girl I liked, and I was crazy about her. I pursued her passionately, and one day, when we went on a date, she wanted to tease her
A janitor deliberately threw the bottle far away."
"At that time, I thought, how could she do this? She is so bad and not worthy of my love. But then I thought about it, it was my love for her that shaped her into a perfect woman in my mind.
People. In fact, she has always had a bad temper, likes to ridicule others, and looks down on anyone in the service industry. She has never changed herself, but because of my strong love, I have unlimited expectations for her."
"She felt baffled when I broke up with her. I didn't know it at the time. I looked like a lunatic. First I desperately pursued her and confessed my love to her, but then suddenly and cleanly broke up with her. This is not possible in anyone's life.
It was a humiliation to everyone, so she was very angry."
"After thinking about it, this is normal."
Bruce felt a little ashamed to speak, but he still said: "That girl's problem is much more serious than your ex-girlfriend, and she may hurt others, physically."
"The problem is not here, the problem is that when you knew her and fell in love with her, didn't you know this problem?"
Bruce thought, didn't he know? He knew it all too clearly. He even met Catwoman on her way to commit crimes.
He couldn't help but think absurdly, how could he fall in love with a criminal? Or at her crime scene?
After Harvey left, Bruce fell asleep because of sleepiness.
In the dream, the brilliant lights of the jewelry store illuminated the string of pearl necklaces scattered on the ground. Suddenly all the lights went out, as if everything had returned to the dark alley, and only the string of pearl necklaces shone faintly.
of luster.
Batman has never been a fan of any jewelry, especially anything that sparkles, like a real bat.
But all he could think about was the girl holding the shining gem and showing a sly smile.
In the haze, the luster of the pearls in his memory suddenly became no longer so hideous. And at the end of the dream, there was still a group of shadowy bats crossing the sky.
The next day, Schiller was quite surprised when he saw Bruce in the psychological consultation room. He looked Bruce up and down and said, "Your injury has healed? Can you walk so soon?"
"Actually, it still hurts a little, but it doesn't matter. My internal organs were not seriously injured and are almost healed now."
Schiller said: "It seems you don't have to waste my cup of coffee." After that, he only poured himself a cup of hot coffee. Bruce was speechless and said: "Give me a glass of water."
After the two sat down, Bruce said: "Harvey doesn't know my true identity yet. I think it's better not to tell him yet, but I'm very distressed now. The female thief who gave me a knife appears in my house every day.
In a dream.”
"I'm even a little reluctant to put on the Batsuit now. Once I meet her, I don't know what to say to her."
Schiller never dreamed that the first psychological counseling problem Batman would open up to him would be Bruce's teenage love troubles.
As we all know, in comics, Batman and Catwoman are true love. The screenwriters use a lot of pen and ink to describe the love story of the two people. Indeed, a dark knight with a blood feud and a cunning and beautiful criminal, even if the background of all this
Even though it is an extremely dark Gotham City, there will still be a large number of readers buying into it.
Schiller said: "It seems that Harvey should have enlightened you, but it doesn't seem to be of any use?"
"What Harvey said makes sense. I already knew she was a thief before I fell in love with her. I even met her when he was stealing jewelry stores. I don't know how I could fall in love with a criminal. This
It’s so ridiculous…”
Schiller said: "What do you think led you to become Batman?"
Bruce thought for a moment and said, "A lot of things."
"Then what do you think caused her to become a thief?"
Bruce was silent.
"So, you are sulking here without knowing anything about a woman's past or family."
"Are you sure you really like him? And you don't just want to have a romantic one-night stand?"
"I haven't even slept with her yet," Bruce said.
"Do you want me to applaud your innocence?" Schiller said, and then his eyes fell on Bruce's waist. He said: "She stabbed your kidney before we even had sex. I'm a little worried now.
Your life is safe."
"You think I should talk to him?" Bruce said.
Schiller sighed and said: "You like that thief. If you don't talk to her, why don't you talk to me? Whoever you like, go and fall in love with him, do you understand?"
Schiller said a little helplessly: "Otherwise, what do you think is love? Two people have been running around on the rooftop of Gotham for several days, and they don't even know who the other person's parents are. If you don't go to bed with her,
I don’t fall in love with her, and I don’t know anything about her. If it were me, I would give you a knife."
Bruce paused and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to her."
The next day, Batman caught Catwoman again in an exhibition hall. Although he didn't understand Catwoman's past and family, he was very accurate about her habits.
Catwoman saw him, cursed secretly, and immediately wanted to run away.
But she didn't run away. Batman grabbed her cloak again. Catwoman cursed, took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Let me go! You weirdo! Don't let me use the knife!"
Batman said, "Let's talk."
"What do you and I have to talk about? Don't stop me from doing my job!"
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the roof of the exhibition hall. Catwoman waved her hands helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, my little boy, what do you want to talk about? Tell me some big truths? You have a lot of truths."
, I can almost recite it.”
"No, I just want to hear your story." Batman said.
Catwoman was a little surprised. She was silent for a moment, glanced at the pair of pointed ears on Batman's head, and said, "For your taste in clothing, okay."
"...I come from the slums on the east side, you know, the biggest and roughest ones. My mother is an alcoholic and my father is a drug addict, but I'm lucky enough not to be addicted to drugs. I grew up with a madam who was a drug addict.
The retired acrobat taught me a lot. Of course, she also had a bad temper, and I got beaten a lot, but fortunately I learned real things."
"I ran away when she wanted to sell me to a smelly middle-aged man. I was 12 years old."
"Later, there was an orphanage that was nosy and insisted on letting me live there. I said okay, then I'll go. Later, someone there wanted to adopt me, but then I offended the administrator there, and he wanted to
He abused me, so I stole his diamond necklace and ran out again."
"I met a leader of thieves. We all call her Lucky Mother. She specializes in training little girls like us to steal things for her. I have practiced acrobatics and am pretty good at it. I am her favorite child."
"But the good times didn't last long. She discovered the diamond necklace I had been hiding on my body. You know, it was very valuable, enough for her to retire. She asked me to hand it over, but I didn't want to do that, so I
He ran out again."
"Later I met a sister, her name was Maggie. She was very nice to me, but her boyfriend always beat her and wanted to kill her. When he was about to take action, I killed the man and was
Wanted. I didn’t want to implicate my sisters, so I kept wandering, but sometimes I would send money back when I made money.”
"It's just like this, a very ordinary story, not very exciting. I think it shouldn't be as exciting as your life experience, right? Great hero."
Batman seemed a little silent, he said: "Not exciting enough? Isn't it exciting enough?"
Catwoman shook her head and said, "Oh, I forgot, you are a young man who grew up in a wealthy area. People there should go to school step by step, right?"
"But that's not the case here. There aren't even one or two students in a block. In fact, my mother loves me very much, but she is a little controlled by alcohol. She spends much more time with cats than with me."
"My parents don't have much ability to support my education, and the same is true for my neighbors. It's pretty good if one of my parents is sane, at least he won't starve to death. I've also heard of cases where both parents are sane.
I was so drunk that the child climbed onto the stove and was scalded to death."
"Of course, people like us all have similar growth experiences. Those of us who are lucky are like me. If you learn a trade, the best way out is to work for a gang. If you can become a dealer in a casino, that would be really respectable.
It’s an incredible job. Maggie’s boyfriend is a thug in a casino, and he’s so popular that several of the bartenders there love him.”
"Actually, Lucky Mom is also kind to me. She sometimes acts like a real mother. Whenever I steal a lot of jewelry for her, she will praise me and even give me candy. Of course, she treats those who steal a lot of jewelry for her.
Children who don’t get things will be beaten or scolded, but in my opinion, they are just young and they will be fine after a few years of hard practice.”
Catwoman spoke intermittently in a relaxed and lively tone, and she described this kind of life as quite interesting.
For example, when she was practicing acrobatics, she fell from the eaves for the first time and hit someone. As a result, the unlucky drunkard just got more than ten dollars from others and fell into Catwoman's hands. She took the money
I used the money to buy food for my mother’s cat and got a kiss from her mother.
Batman didn't speak. He listened quietly. Catwoman also stopped talking. She looked at Batman and said, "Okay, okay, I know this story disappoints you. I don't have anything to say."
I have a rich and exciting university life, but I don’t know what your job search goals are. We are completely from two different worlds. You rich people shouldn’t be interested in this kind of slum life, right? After all, it sounds very dirty and messy.”
Batman said in a low voice: "No, this is the most wonderful story I have ever heard."
Catwoman raised her eyebrows and said, "You are so sweet. I feel a little embarrassed when you praise me. In fact, I am also very happy because no one is willing to listen to me talk about these things. Maggie is not in good health.
She can’t go out. When the two of us chat, she prefers to listen to my stories about traveling in wealthy areas, and listen to me telling her about the dresses and necklaces worn by rich ladies.”
Batman asked: "Do you like jewelry that much?"
"I knew you were going to ask this question." Catwoman said with a wink.
"At first, it was just because these jewels could be exchanged for better treatment from Lucky Mom, and I didn't want to be beaten."
"But later when Lucky Mom asked me for that diamond necklace, I realized that what I actually like is their original luster, not how much they can sell for. When I think of Lucky Mom selling these treasures for money,
I’m very heartbroken.”
"That lovely glow, especially when it's lit by a lamp, it's the most beautiful thing in the world! My lifelong dream is to have a huge castle filled with all these beautiful gems..." Cat
The woman's tone became lighter and lighter, as if bubbles of joy were about to pop out.
