Marvel's The Dark Knight Rises

Chapter 178 A Dance
The atmosphere seemed to be a little awkward, at least it seemed to Bruce, and he looked away from Diana's eyes slightly, trying to calm down his turbulent mood.

Ever since he met Diana, he has always felt inexplicably "out of control". He had guessed about this strange change in mood, but he always overturned his assumptions.

It's not even half a month since I first saw him, is it possible?

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Bruce's face was unnatural, Diana was concerned.

"Me? I'm fine." Shaking his head, Bruce smiled at Diana. Although he was a little confused, no matter who he talked to, he couldn't talk to Diana about it.
Seeing this, Diana frowned slightly, but it was only for a moment. Everyone has their own privacy, and she naturally knew this. Although she understood, the joy in her heart because of Bruce's praise also diluted a little.

Obviously, this matter has something to do with her, otherwise, why would Bruce always dodge her gaze, and when he lowered his head, Bruce would always sneak a look over?
Her sense of consciousness is far beyond that of ordinary people, so she can clearly perceive Bruce's weird behavior very clearly.

The two gradually became silent. Apart from the occasional cheers from the bar, they could only hear each other's slight breathing, but neither of them turned around to leave first, as if they were waiting for the other to break the strange atmosphere.

After a long time, a series of unfamiliar piano sounds suddenly came from the bar. Then, the piano player became more and more proficient, and he gradually played a complete piece of music. Topics that break the silence.

"It sounds nice, what is this?" Diana pursed her lips and suddenly asked in a low voice.

Bruce was startled, and listened to it for a while, but found that it seemed to be a folk song, and it was too "long time" from his time, so he could only shake his head and said, "I don't know the name, but the voice sounds a bit Does that sound familiar, Charlie? Didn't know he could play the piano."

Diana looked at him, "Piano, is it an instrument that plays this kind of music?"

"Well, this is also one of the best musical instruments invented by human beings. Nowadays, almost every dance party will have this kind of musical instrument to add to the fun."

"Dance, I know that, on Paradise Island, we will also hold a dance, but" Diana looked at the bar, and at this time, many villagers were dancing slowly to the sound of the piano. It was a kind of gentle dance. , "You humans seem to dance a little differently.

Bruce followed her gaze, but smiled. The female warriors on Paradise Island really didn't seem like slow dancers. Growing up in this environment, Diana naturally believed that dancing should be Enthusiastic, fast-paced.

"In fact, we have also created many types of dances, but tonight, the dances performed by the villagers are the most suitable for the current atmosphere."

"But I don't think slow steps are dancing. Do you only know this kind of 'dance'?"

Bruce squinted his eyes when he heard Diana's question, then took a step back, and then straightened his clothes under Diana's puzzled eyes, "Although I'm not very proficient, I think I need to correct you. Thoughts, Princess Diana."

Half bowed, Bruce put one hand behind his back, smiled, and stretched out his arm to Diana with one hand, "Can I invite you to a dance, ma'am?"

Diana looked at Bruce's movements and smiled knowingly. Although she stretched out her hand, she still asked, "You want to teach me this slow dance?"

Bruce lightly took Diana's hand, then stood up straight, and put his other hand on Diana's waist, but it was just on it, and the distance was well maintained.

Diana didn't care, she put her other hand on Bruce's arm, "Is that so?"

"It would be better on my shoulders, but it's all up to you, Diana."

During the conversation between the two, someone turned on the phonograph. Immediately, there was a more melodious sound in the bar, and the sound of gentle music flowed out, as if it was just prepared for the dance of the two of them.

In the sound of the music, Bruce led Diana a little jerky, and danced gently under the night sky. In fact, if Alfred hadn't insisted strongly, he would never have learned these dance moves back then, but at this moment, he was very interested in Ah I am grateful for Fu's decision.

"You don't look very proficient." Diana said, because the two were very close at this time, Bruce could clearly feel her breath, and the feeling that he was out of control gradually came to him again. heart.

"Well, actually, I don't have any experience in this area. Although it's embarrassing to say it, you are my first dance partner, Diana." Bruce blushed a little, he didn't know much about it himself, but at this moment Teaching Diana to dance sounds pretty weird.

Diana looked at Bruce's flushed cheeks, but instead of focusing on Bruce's first dance, she asked, "You mean, you've never danced with a woman?"

Bruce coughed softly, and said without confidence: "Yes."

"It doesn't look like that, Bruce." Diana smiled suddenly, and after a pause of two or three seconds, she looked up at Bruce, "So, have you ever dated a woman before?"

This question made Bruce's eyes widen, and he looked at Diana in surprise. How could she know about the relationship between men and women?

"Steve told me on the way." As if seeing Bruce's astonishment, Diana raised her eyebrows and said, "He asked me if I was in a relationship with you. I didn't understand what he meant, so he asked I explained what it means to be connected."

Bruce suddenly felt that his lips were a little dry, and his eyes were a little erratic. He didn't understand why Diana would suddenly ask such a question, or in this situation, the feeling of losing control was getting stronger and stronger, damn it.
"I, cough, haven't."

"Not once? Don't lie to me." As soon as Bruce finished his answer, Diana asked again like chasing him, making Bruce even more confused, but he firmly said: "No, my mind was never on this , I won't lie to you, Diana!"

Listening to Bruce's subconscious answer, Diana finally "quieted the flag" and stopped asking him about this matter, but the unstoppable smile in her eyes made Bruce completely lose his composure, "You're blushing again."

"I didn't" Bruce still retorted subconsciously, but this time his voice was much lower than before, because he felt the burning sensation on his cheek and the root of his ear.

"Why are you blushing?" Diana seemed to get closer, staring at Bruce without hesitation. She was a bold girl, and Bruce knew this very well, but he didn't expect that this boldness would be of use to him today. superior.

"Diana, me, I'm a little confused now, sorry, I don't know what I'm talking about, sorry"

As Bruce avoids Diana's sight again and apologizes in a flustered low voice, snowflakes suddenly flutter in the sky, and white elves surround the two of them under the winter night, and the surroundings become silent. Except for the sound of music, Bruce All I could hear was the pounding of my heart.

The blood was rushing through his veins fast, never before in his lifetime, making him almost out of breath.

An arm passed through his neck, and with a little force, he pulled his head down, whispering softly, the bright red mark filled his sight, followed by a beautiful face, lightly touching , cold.

"I love the way you said I was your first date and the fact you said you've never dated a woman, if that's called 'like' I love it, Bruce."
