In 1996, in an orphanage in Gotham, USA. There two teenagers and two young girls were educated there by a lady about forty years old, dressed ordinarily, but with a noble temperament and beautiful appearance.

"How many times have you said don't fight with kids outside! Look at your wounds! The lady was there educating the four children, and judging by the distress on her face, she felt more distressed than angry at them.

"It was Freddy, who bullied Skye and Wanda first! Pete and I are just protecting them! The child pouted in response, the child with black hair, yellow skin, and black but bright eyes. It was evidently an Asian face, who was looking at the lady he respected with displeasure and replied sharply.

Listening to the child's words, the lady squatted down to support the little boy's cheeks, and then said to Yan: "Then my dear Ke Lie, then why didn't you tell me?" ”

"Lady Martha, tell you that it won't solve anything, Freddy and they will continue to bully Skye, and they won't bully Skye until they beat them up and let them know that they will be beaten up for saying so!" The boy doesn't like to be held in the cheeks! And the two girls behind him also looked at him with blazing eyes when they listened to his words, but he didn't know it.

"I can't see that our Lie is still a little knight, so aren't you hurt now?" Martha listened to the little boy's words, and her gaze softened towards him, looking at the bruises on the little boy's body, she was also half relieved and half distressed.

"Lady Martha, I'm 9 years old! I'm not small anymore! And I think I'm happier to have Freddy and them stop bullying Skye than the injuries I suffered, so I don't feel pain. The little boy looked proud, and it was clear that he felt that he had protected his companion and that these injuries were out of the way.

"Yes, my little knight. Your bravery makes me proud, and I seem to see the birth of a man. But for now, you'll need to get Uncle Thomas over and take your wounds before you take your friends to class with Uncle Thomas. Martha looked at the little boy and said helplessly, so she had to let her husband suppress the naughty little boy.

"Got it, Lady Martha, by the way, is Bruce coming over too?" Listening to Martha let Lie prepare to study, his own pride cooled down at once. By the way, I asked tentatively.

"Of course, my dear little knight." Martha replied with a smile.

After Martha sent the four children away, she was a little helpless to see the impact they caused. She likes these children very much, compared to the other children in the orphanage, these children are sensible and loving, even the most naughty Lie has only had a sense of justice since childhood. If it weren't for the recent rush to plan the city, she would have planned to talk to her husband about adopting them. With their family's financial resources in this city, they are only a few children, and they can still let their son have a happy childhood.

Looks like I'm going to find a time to talk to Thomas, and I think Thomas and Bruce will agree," Martha thought to herself.

Martha's full name is, Martha. Wayne, whose husband is the leader of Gotham's most famous family, the Wayne family, has been working hard to improve the city in this city with a high crime rate.

And at this moment, they were whispering to a child about their age.

"Hey, Lie, you really got into a fight with Freddy?"

"Of course, Bruce, who told them to dare to bully Wanda! It's good that I didn't hit them and their noses were crying. ”

"Gentlemen, be careful of your own behavior." The man standing in front of the blackboard saw the small movements between Lie and Bruce, and whispered that Bruce and the man were somewhat similar. The man is the most prominent figure in Gotham—Thomas. Wayne, and the little boy is the only heir to the Wayne family, Bruce. Wayne!

Soon, the day's noise passed, and Thomas took Lady Martha and Bruce to say goodbye to Lie and prepare to go to tonight's opera, and before leaving, Lady Masha said that she would surprise Lie and them.

Looking at Ms. Martha's figure as they walked away, Lie and the others were about to go back to sleep, when the two girls who had been holding back for a day suddenly hugged Lie and said shyly: "Lie, thank you for helping us out." ”

The sudden hug made Lie a little stunned, two beautiful little Loli hugged a little boy, at an age when they didn't know anything, this picture was full of innocence. Lie also scratched his head shyly before saying, "It's okay, they shouldn't say that you are children without parents, let alone bully you, I just can't look past it." ”

"Obviously, I have gone up to fight, why don't you hug me." At this time, he will ignore Pete protesting there. A little silver hair makes him so conspicuous among the children.

"You're my brother, shouldn't you help me when I'm being bullied? There is also Lie who beat Freddy five by himself, and you only hit one! Wanda did not fluctuate in response to Pete's protests, and complained that Pete only hit one person there.

Listening to Wanda's words, Pete didn't dare to speak out. At this time, Skye, the little Lori who looked like Lie had black eyes and flaxen-colored hair, asked Lie, "Lie, what do you say Lady Martha is going to prepare for us?" ”

"Who knows? It's a good thing anyway. Lie shrugged pointlessly. As a child who grew up in an orphanage, he was more sensible than most children and precocious than them. He could probably guess what Lady Martha was trying to do, but wouldn't it be good to surprise the girls?

"Lie, will you always protect us?" Before returning to the room, Skye and Wanda asked the little boy Lie, their eyes full of light.

After being stunned for a while, the little boy gave a thumbs up and nodded: "Of course, no matter who bullies you, I will protect you for the rest of your life!" In the future, only you will bully others, and there will be no one else to bully you! The little boy inadvertently made a lifelong promise to himself and to the two girls.

Listening to Lie's answer, the girls were very happy, and after saying goodnight to each other, they were ready to fall asleep.

The next day, they woke up a little late. After eating breakfast with his friends, I didn't see Ms. Martha, who was supposed to come to see them at this time, in the courtyard. But the dean and the other volunteers seemed to be in a heavy mood.

Sensing that something was wrong, Lie ran to a volunteer and asked, "Uncle Sam, why didn't Ms. Martha come today?" ”

Sam looked at Lie, and he knew that the children had always liked Lady Martha, and could even treat her as a mother. And he didn't know how to tell the truth, he stopped talking several times, and finally said helplessly: "Son, Ms. Martha was shot and killed with Mr. Thomas last night, leaving only one child. ”

Listening to Sam's words, Lie suddenly couldn't hear anything. The scenes of the past came back to his mind, and Lady Martha was distressed and worried about the few of them every time they were hurt. There is also a scene where Mr. Thomas teaches them knowledge. Now, it's all gone.

At the same time, Skye and the others, who heard the news, cried directly, for them. They don't know what death is, but they can be sure that they will never see them again.

Sam looked at these children, and his heart was not happy. The orphanage has always been privately sponsored by Thomas and Martha, and he came in because of the great benefits of the orphanage. Now, with the Waynes gone, it's clear that the orphanage has been cut off from funding, and the director may have started to have the children adopted, or let them go out to work on their own. And he himself has to prepare for a different job, in this simple Gotham, what better job is this?

Rye looked at the sad Skye and clenched his fists, for the first time he felt how powerless he was! He thought he could protect Skye and Wanda, but fate played a joke on him again. He has no relatives, and to him, Martha is his mother, Thomas is his father, and Bruce is his best brother. And when they were killed, they were dreaming in bed!

Without saying a word, he led the Skye back to his room. After calming them to sleep, he sneaked out of the orphanage himself, and after learning that the Waynes' memorial service would take place in the afternoon, he headed for the place where their memorial service would be. He's going to see his parents for the last time!

In the afternoon, in the villa of the Wayne family, a group of celebrities from all walks of life in Gotham gathered together, symbolically paid a silent tribute to the white rose, and then bumped into each other in twos and threes to greet each other. And Bruce just stood quietly in front of his parents' coffins, without saying a word.

"Hey, Bruce, everything is going to be okay." Lie didn't know when he got to Bruce's side and comforted him.

"Lie, you know what? They died right in front of me, and I could only watch my parents slowly stop breathing. Bruce spoke for the first time after hearing Lie's voice, and his voice was full of despair and sadness.

"I know, but you shouldn't be weak here, the guys in the back have been watching you laugh! You have to be strong! Lie knew that the words of comfort at the moment had no effect, so he could only stimulate Bruce to cheer up in reverse, and Bruce, who had suffered a great change in his life, also became as mature as Lie.

"You're right, I'm the only heir to House Wayne! I can't cry to them! Listening to Lie's words, Bruce also wiped away the tears in his eyes and raised his head that had been hanging down!

"That's right, Lie." Bruce said suddenly.

"How?"

"Mom told Dad last night that she wanted to adopt you and Skye, and if you don't mind, I'll let Alfred do it." Bruce intends to fulfill his mother's last wish, and he himself has long regarded them as his own brothers and sisters.

"As long as you don't mind Skye and Wanda's boisterous fuss." Shrugged his shoulders needlessly.

"Then I'll let Alfred do it later." Bruce said with a smile. This is his first smile in the past two days.

Lie happily returned to the orphanage, accompanied by the kind old butler Alfred, who told the director that he would continue to inject money into the orphanage, and also expressed his intention to adopt Lie and them. The old dean agreed with a smile on his face, and said that he would go through the formalities immediately.

Soon, packing their things, they followed Alfred back to Wayne's Villa. And Lie and they also added the word Wayne to their names, which can be regarded as a kind of reward for the Waynes.
