Chapter 235 Kent Farm's Birthday
"Father and Ah Fu both...know?" Damian asked casually, pushing the plain glasses that he was not used to.
"Understood, they all agreed." Harley put down the absorbent cloth she was using to wipe the coffee cup, turned around and looked up to her boyfriend and said, "I just think... Anyway, I should discuss it with you." He wore it today He wore a bright yellow dress, a color he had never worn before, an exaggerated color to try for her.
Harry had always been like that, always willing to consider his feelings.Of course Damian couldn't bear to object.
This is probably a psychiatrist's suggestion?A change of environment or something, psychiatrists always love suggestions like that...
"Then... go, remember to bring a change of clothes." Damian wanted to bite his tongue, when did he become such a mother-in-law?It's even more verbose than Ah Fu.
"I'll remember." Harry smiled slightly.
The two still didn't kiss and hug again.
At this moment, the dishwasher finished processing a batch. Damian turned on the dishwasher, stacked the plates and handed them to Harley. Their hands accidentally touched each other during the process, and Harley's movements obviously froze for a moment.
Damian closed his eyes, waiting for Harry to explode.
Instead, after putting down the plate... Harry reached out and shook him back.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm getting better soon," she said, "And I know he won't be wearing bright yellow."
Damian nodded and shook her hand, but he let go within a few seconds.
"Considering you'll be staying at Kent Farm for a while, maybe I should give you a birthday present now."
Damian scratched the hair on the back of his head, looking a little unconfident. He continued: "This year's gift is not specially made by me, it's just a product that can be bought in the market. It may... be a bit tacky. But, you gave me a gift last year. It's been a rough year and I just... don't want to send heavy stuff that might make you cry."
"You should also relax and be a normal girl." He looked at Harley, trying to hide his distress: "I received some fashionable gifts that a normal 16-year-old girl would receive."
"Of course it's not the textbook of the League of Assassins. I now understand that these gifts are too stupid." He added.
Harry immediately protested, "They're not stupid, they're very practical! I learned my nude knuckles from the book you gave me."
Then she smiled slightly, "How do you understand? Dick what they said? Don't listen to them."
"Of course not, I haven't fallen to the point where I need to listen to their opinions." Damian said with disgust.When the comparison object was a few other Robins, he suddenly became confident, "Remember the first gift Jason gave you? He gave you a gun! Those guys were giving girls gifts. Not much better than me."
"Then why are you..." Harry asked, "I must clarify, however, that I liked all the presents you gave me before."
Damian frowned, with a tangled expression, "I...read some books on the relationship between the sexes."
"Oh?" Harry really didn't think of this answer, "Can I take a look? I think I also need to..." Learn some skills of getting along with the sexes.
Damian waved his hand, "It's a waste of time, I checked it for you, and it's not very operable."
Most of these books were incredibly stupid, and it took a lot of willpower to force himself to read them.Nearly all of the advice in these books is just empty cliche—"give her space," or, "support her."
Who doesn't know this?
What he needs is a concrete operating model!Show the way!Normalization process!
"Back to the topic of your birthday - the book says to give some personal and intimate gifts, when your relationship is getting closer." Damian is looking like a life mentor at this moment, explaining to Harley about men and women The way to get along, "Intimate gifts can bring sentiment."
It was another ambiguous formula, but the following example made him understand the specific spirit.
"For example, it says in the book that you can give...cough...uh...underwear." Damian's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he even began to speak incoherently, "Uh, it's not ordinary underwear in the general sense... "
He decided not to explain the examples in the book to Harley...
"But we're... um... spiritually close, it's still early in that." He put on a serious face, "So, don't worry, it's not underwear."
Harry didn't interrupt him, just listening to her boyfriend's rigorous and impeccable gift logic.
"I originally thought about jewelry, but my father said that jewelry is more suitable for a festival like Valentine's Day. So..." He suddenly became unsure. This gift seems to be really...a bit vulgar?
He was a little discouraged, "I prepared some perfume for you, girls always need it. I finally know how to give you some girls' things."
Harry grasped the key point in Damian's words, "Some? How much did you buy..." She suddenly had a bad feeling.
"More than 100 bottles? No count. I went to the mall with the latest rating list this year. I bought all the top-ranked ones. Don't worry, they are all small 30ml bottles, not large bottles. We will buy corresponding large bottles for whichever ones you like in the future. , are you smart?"
"Oh my god..." Harry murmured.
More than 100 bottles?She will probably never need to buy perfume again in her life.
*******************
Under the setting sun, the green summer cornfields were dyed golden. Hali believed that the farm would be even more beautiful when the harvest came in September.
At this time, she was lazily leaning on the recliner on the porch of the old house in Kent, with iced lemonade in hand, fresh earth and sunshine in the air, and the chirping of insects and birds in the distance, without Gotham and London The noise was so quiet that she almost fell asleep directly.Country life is so pleasant.
The psychiatrist still has her reasons - not because it is far away from Damian, but because of this rare tranquility, she can finally separate her mind, think and figure out some problems that have been bothering her.
She just ate an apple pie made by Grandma Martha, and this is her birthday cake.
Granny Martha was going to make her a real cake, but Harry said that Grandma Martha's apple pie was the best.It was so delicious that she couldn't wait for dinner time, so she ate the whole thing with Joe.
Now that I think about it, all I eat is sugar...Grandma Martha's craftsmanship can always make her forget about "maintaining body fat rate".She was worried that when she returned to Gotham in a week, would she gain ten pounds directly?Of course, Joe doesn't have to worry, he won't get fat if he eats as much as he eats, which makes people jealous.
"Kara said she'll be here tonight." Joe walked out the back door with a new glass of lemonade, and put it on the table next to Harry's recliner. She still had a glass in her hand. "She's been busy with work recently."
Joe was almost as tall as Uncle Clark now, and these boys... seemed to be trying to grow taller.But if it's Joe, Halle really can't compare to this Kryptonian gene and the function of absorbing energy by shining on the sun.
He had always been much taller than Damian, who was three years older than him, but Damian came from behind, as if he had taken a heightening potion-Joe had always suspected that he had indeed taken some magical potion given by Harry to suddenly grow taller.
Joe is in high school at the Mets and is casually wearing a t-shirt featuring their high school team mascot.And, of course, a pair of flat black-rimmed glasses—to hide his unreal-blue Kryptonian eyes.
With a super brain, he can actually get an unknown number of Ph.D. degrees, but Uncle Clark always hopes that Joe can be as low-key as he is.
That half comes from Aunt Louise's earth genes, giving the soon-to-be 16-year-old Joby a softer fireworks compared to the perfect Uncle Clark (in Superman state, without glasses).
"Kate Grant's assistant?" Harry followed up on what Joe had said, "Did she get that position?"
Kara actually entered the media industry like Uncle Clark, but instead of running news, she became an assistant to Kate Grant, the founder of Kateco Global Media. *
Jo leaned lightly on the side porch post, facing Harley, "Got it, it's just... that lady boss is a devil. She's always called Carla 'Kayla'. There's a lot of other... Trouble." Joe shook his head, "I don't want to be in the media anyway."
"So what do you want to do?" Harry asked interestedly.
"I haven't figured it out yet. It's very suitable for me to be active in Titan while studying. Have you figured it out?"
"...No." Harry admitted with a sigh.
"It's still early, we're only 16, we'll wait until we go to college. Dad said he was much more confused than me back then." Joe shrugged.
He looked at Harry, because the two had known each other since childhood and were very familiar with each other, so he didn't shy away from it, and simply asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"
She didn't hide from Uncle Clark about the problems Harley was going through recently.As the leader of the Justice League, she will of course be known by Superman when she uses the psychiatrist in the League.Superman will not ask about the specific details of psychological counseling, and the psychiatrist will not say it out of professional ethics and doctor-patient constraints.It's just that Harry didn't choose to prevaricate when Uncle Clark took the initiative to ask, after all, he was out of concern.
As for Joe, Halle also took the initiative to tell him after the first day in Kansas.Confiding is also an activity recommended by a psychologist.
"I feel that I have recovered," Harry sat up, and replied sincerely, "It's just... the psychiatrist still doesn't believe that the relationship between me and Damian has nothing to do with the accident that year—considering the time point, and his special bond with that person."
"In her most recent email session, my psychiatrist said she had an appointment with Damien—a procedure she felt was necessary to help my recovery, and Damian...was very cooperative, not only I went... and honestly confessed that I often took the initiative in our several times of intimate physical contact." Harry swallowed, because what she was going to say next... was not easy.
"This detail, added by Damian, made my therapist more... 'focus on the nature of my relationship with Damian', and she thought I might be subconsciously... 'using Damian's body to cover And make up that memory', I hope I can seriously dig out the essence of my feelings by taking the time away from Damian."
She covered her forehead in distress, "I don't know if Damian knows about her analysis, if he knows...it must be uncomfortable."
"It's so complicated," Joe listened carefully, he put down the lemonade, crossed his arms, and put on a rare analytical gesture, "how can I say it, sometimes a psychiatrist can't grasp the whole picture of someone or something—of course I Not to question their professionalism - but... the information and details they know are all from your mouth, you may be biased in the process of telling, and some facts will be accidentally left out by you .”
"Even including Damian, he may be inclined. Maybe he himself was so skeptical, so...the words are directional? Well...do you understand what I mean?" Joe said slightly distressed thinking.
"I'll just say what I know," he patted his forehead, as if suddenly thinking of something, "When we were young, you went to school with me and Damian in Metropolis. Every time you saw Damian, your heartbeat would A little faster, it’s not obvious, but it’s completely different from when I saw me. I knew at that time that Damian was different from everyone else in your heart. Of course, the psychiatrist will not know this.”
The author has something to say:
*What stumps me in this chapter... is actually the growth cycle of crops, whether the corn is yellow or green in summer... (cover face.jpg)
*The adult Kara's career in this article is also set in an American drama.
*The psychiatrist will not be Hannibal, it is from the Justice League. Guess there should be such a role in the Justice League that intervenes the heroes after trauma.
According to DC official news, a new event called "Heroes in Crisis" will be released, which will introduce a concept of "Sanctuary" (English Sanctuary, I translated it myself, I don't know what the Sinicization team will translate it into) to deal with heroes. Their trauma, located in a farm in Nebroska, incorporates Kryptonian technology, and the heroes who come here for treatment wear golden masks.
This article will not use such an advanced concept, just assume that there is a psychologist in Zhenglian.
