Chapter 161 Chapter 161 [VIP]

Megan wants to ski, so she needs custom equipment, right?

This matter was thrown to Bob. Except for Megan herself, everyone else could tell the size problem in detail. So when she didn't know, the size was submitted to the manufacturer, and of course a complete set was made for her. However, considering the Damon family's apparent economic situation, the equipment was produced in small workshops, but the quality was also tested and there was no problem at all. After all, in Gotham, making good products bad and inferior products good is an old industry.

She only knew that she was working on her equipment. So one afternoon, while walking down the street with Jason after reading a book, he asked Megan about her practical homework. She said, "I want to go skiing, and I'm working on my equipment too."

Jason was a little surprised when he heard this, "Have you measured the size of your equipment?" If ski equipment is not tailored to the size, it may cause many problems. Does Megan mean customized equipment?

Megan tilted her head. She hadn't thought about this question yet, but Bob's ability was trustworthy, so she nodded affirmatively, "Bob knows the size, and Dad knows it too." Just like they never measured her clothes when buying them, but her clothes always fit her well.

Jason knew Bob was Megan's caregiver. Her father was always away for work, so he had someone from his hometown take care of her daily needs. He felt relieved and invited her, "Would you like to come to my ski resort?"

"Right here in Gotham, I have a ski resort that's not open to the public, and I also have a paid ski resort. I have the privilege of being able to go for free." This was already made clear, but he had no intention of showing off. He just wanted to share his privilege with his good friend. "Let's go together. I can even teach you how to ski."

He has that right! And Bruce is not a stingy person. Even if Jason invites more people, he will not say anything or stop him. It's just that Jason knows his limits and cares about social distance. He doesn't like to invite people to his house, but Megan is an exception. Megan is his best friend.

They occasionally hold hands when walking on the street, although boys and girls of the same age rarely hold hands with the opposite sex except for couples. As for holding hands with the same sex? That's even weirder.

Jason, who has been hanging out on the streets for a few years, has seen all kinds of people and has a clear understanding of the relationships between people. After all, he has to identify his target. If he doesn't have a keen eye, he might die earlier in various struggles, offend someone he shouldn't have offended and be punished, or be deceived into becoming a commodity. This is not uncommon in Gotham.

With so many precedents, Jason learned quickly. He could always tell at a glance everyone's position in society and family to determine who was easy to bully and who was easy to get. He lived by this, and this ability still existed after he was adopted and became Robin.

Jason confirmed that Megan was harmless and felt that she was asking for more children in her family, but she was so pitiful, who could be so cruel as not to love her? He also cared about her.

He held Megan's hand and heard her slowly say, "Well, let's go play together. Are you good at skiing?"

Speaking of this, Jason raised his eyebrows confidently, revealing a high-spirited look, "You'll know whether I'm a good skier or not when you get to the ski resort." He also hummed softly and whispered to Megan's ear: "When have I ever lied to you?"

…

They agreed to go skiing together and wait for Megan's equipment to be ready. It happened to be the weekend the next day, so they agreed on a meeting time over the phone and Jason came directly to her house to pick her up.

Jason had already told his family about his weekend plans in advance. He was only twelve or thirteen years old, so of course he couldn't drive by himself. Before he went out, Bruce, who rarely got up early, stood in front of the mirror, adjusted his tie, and called him, "Jason, do you want me to take you there?" Although it was a questioning tone, he had gotten up early in the morning and was ready.

But Jason, who was stopped by him, raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and then refused, "Sorry, Bruce, I didn't tell Xiaomei that you were going."

It is best not to let anything that is not in the agreement happen. Although it is just a small matter, Bruce just wants to see his friend. After all, they have a history. It was Dick and Bruce who saved Meghan. He can see that Bruce regards sending him to the ski resort as parent-child time, and he also cares about Meghan's current situation, but Jason has to abide by their agreement.

Jason was busy packing his things and didn't see Bruce's expression, but he decided to comfort him and said cheerfully, "Don't be too disappointed, Bruce! I'll invite Xiaomei to Wayne Manor on my birthday!"

But Bruce still didn't give up, "Who will take you there? I..."

At this time, the butler Alfred came out holding the equipment that Jason didn't take. He raised his eyes to look at Bruce, and looked into the eyes of the child he had watched grow up, and said kindly: "Master, have you finally decided to attend the company meeting on time again?" Jason turned his head away abruptly, and he asked Bruce why he behaved so abnormally today, but he laughed heartily instead.

Jason was very proud. "Of course it was Alfu who took me there. Alfu, Xiaomei has been curious about the nice man who gave her desserts and snacks! When you meet her, you will definitely like her too!" He said this on purpose to anger Bruce, making him avoid the meeting and using him as a scapegoat. If Alfu was unhappy, neither of them would be happy.

Alfred pondered the words 'will like her too'. Jason liked his friend, so he eagerly wanted his family to like her too, but he also respected his friend's opinion and did not make any arrangements for her without authorization.

The friendship of youth is always passionate and sincere, without any consideration of pros and cons and without any hypocrisy.

He smiled gently, "Then I'm looking forward to it now. By the way, if the master is ready for work, we can leave now."

Bruce tried to struggle again and said, "Come on, Alfred, I haven't had breakfast yet." He chose this excuse almost in a panic, and it was obvious that he wanted to tear off his bow tie immediately and go back to bed.

The butler's tone was slow. "I have to apologize to you too, sir. Your assistant is on his way to buy you breakfast. To prevent you from being picky about the company cafeteria, he'll come and ask you what you'd like for breakfast. He even has several errand calls on his phone. I believe you won't let your employees down, right?"

Having said that, the situation is set.

Alfred carried his things and walked towards the door with Jason, leaving Bruce standing there in deep thought, as if he had been abandoned?

He was indeed too sleepy to go to work, and the spirit he had deliberately perked up collapsed again. However, since he had already gotten up, he didn't want to waste time changing into pajamas and going to sleep. At worst, he could take a nap in the company. He faced the mirror again and adjusted his expression slightly. The sleepiness had completely faded, and a hint of affection could be seen between his handsome and mature eyebrows.

Alfred and Jason put their things in the trunk and got in the car. The expensive but low-key car drove out of Wayne Manor. Jason sat in the passenger seat and discussed with him: "When we pick up Megan, I will sit in the back seat with her. We have something to talk about."

Even if they have nothing to say, good friends always want to be together. Alfred expressed his understanding. While driving, he tried to recall the time when the two children got along with each other. Suddenly, he found that they had never had any conflicts. Jason always praised Megan's good points. Even her long eyelashes could be a reason for him to show off. He said that she climbed high with agility. He talked about where they went to play and what they ate today, and said that she was the cutest child in the world.

Megan Damon, this child was pitiful in the mouths of Bruce and Dick because she was still seriously ill when they rescued her;

In Jason's words, they were very good friends. The old housekeeper had roughly calculated the time. When they became friends, Megan's condition had improved a lot, but she had not been in the special children's care center for very long at that time. Even the psychologist's diagnosis was that she was still immersed in her own world and rarely interacted with people from the outside world.

So how did Jason become friends with her? It was obvious that he took the initiative.

"How did you two meet?" Alfred had heard many names of 'Meghan' and 'Xiaomei' from him, but this was the first time he asked this question.

Jason was looking out the window. He had been looking forward to it since they made the agreement. As he watched them getting closer and closer, a surge of anticipation built up in his heart. When he heard Ah Fu's question, he came back to his senses a little late.

After thinking carefully for a while, he finally spoke: "We met one night..."

He said that Megan was wandering in the park alone, and she seemed to be lost, so Jason, who was dressed as Robin, came up to her and talked to her enthusiastically and cheerfully. Even though Megan didn't talk much, he still sent her home. After that, Robin often went to play with her. When they were together, one person would chatter incessantly while the other would listen quietly. Megan didn't just stare and ignore him. Even if it was just a look or a gesture, she would respond.

Alfred listened to him, as if every moment they spent together was worth talking about. Later, Megan's condition improved and she responded more. Jason said, "Mei is like a mirror. What you put into it is reflected back." So he gave, and so he gained.

The old butler had been smiling gently and comfortingly, following the route Jason had pointed out. Even when he was distracted or talking excitedly, he never made a mistake, because he had already memorized the route. At the end, he asked, "You helped her in the beginning, but why did you become her friend?"

Jason said seriously, "I feel so sorry for her. She must need me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the car had already arrived. Jason first saw Megan waiting outside the small building. He unbuckled his seat belt faster than in training and got out of the car, running to her. When Alfred saw this, he held her hand skillfully and without fear of any gaze. They were very good friends, and there was no need to prove it, but Jason wanted to show her off to everyone.

——Look, this is his good friend.

The author has something to say:

Jason: She's so pitiful. Batman: Is this why you sacrifice yourself?
