American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 283 Environmental Enthusiast Bruce Wayne

Bruce pretended he hadn't left the room. He smiled and accepted the late-night snack Selena brought him, saying gently, "Thank you, darling. You've had a long day too, have some with me."

The night was as dark as ink, and moonlight streamed into the garden outside the window, creating an exceptionally tranquil atmosphere. Selena nodded and sat down beside Bruce, the two enjoying a late-night snack together. A variety of side dishes were laid out on the table, their aromas enticing, but Bruce's mind wasn't on the food. As he ate, he glanced at Selena every now and then, his brow furrowed, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Could Ah Bin's words really have convinced Selena to turn over a new leaf?" Bruce muttered to himself. He was still looking forward to more exciting eco-friendly activities; how could he give up so easily? He couldn't help but recall the thrilling moments of the past two days, his heart filled with worry.

As for Ah Bin, although he is indeed good at playing cards, he seems a bit dim-witted, and it doesn't seem very reliable to rely on him to take initiative.

Selena felt Bruce's gaze and finally couldn't help but ask, "Bruce, why are you staring at me?"

Bruce was brought back to reality by Selena's words. He smiled awkwardly and covered it up by saying, "Honey, you're so beautiful, I couldn't help but look at you a few more times."

Selena rolled her eyes at him, her tone slightly teasing: "You're beautiful." A hint of a smile flashed in her eyes, making her look exceptionally charming.

Bruce chuckled twice, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, then asked, "Selena, how was Bin's massage this afternoon? Want to go again tomorrow?"

Selena shook her head and said with a smile, "I feel really good today, but it's a bit too frequent to do it tomorrow. Let's do it another day."

Bruce felt a pang of disappointment upon hearing this. He began to regret what he had said to Bin after dinner. But Bruce pretended to be nonchalant and said with a smile, "It is indeed a bit too frequent. Let's talk about it another day."

Selena nodded and continued enjoying her late-night snack, while Bruce fell into deep thought. How could he bring Selena and Bin together?

Suddenly, Bruce had a flash of inspiration and came up with a plan. He remembered that there was a concept of palmistry in the East, where one could use palm reading to divine the future. He could use this opportunity to cleverly get Selena and Bin to hold hands in front of him. As long as he could get the two back into the ambiguous atmosphere, there would definitely be more opportunities in the future.

So Bruce tentatively said to Selena, "Honey, I remember Bin can read palms, how about we have him take a look?"

Selena looked at Bruce with a puzzled expression and asked, "What is palmistry?"

Bruce explained, "Palmistry is an ancient form of divination that predicts a person's fate and character by observing the lines on their palm. It's a very popular tradition in the East, so maybe we can give it a try. It's better to believe it than not."

Selena hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but Bruce's persistent persuasion eventually swayed her. Bruce continued, "There's no harm in giving it a try. Just think of it as something new, and maybe you'll discover something interesting."

Selena finally nodded, reluctantly agreeing: "Alright, then let Bin give it a try."

Bruce made an internal call and asked Bin to come to his room. A short while later, Xiao Xian arrived at Bruce's room. Upon seeing him enter, Bruce immediately said, "Bin, come here quickly."

"Bin, I remember you can read palms, right?" Bruce then smiled and winked at Xiao Xian.

Xiao Xian immediately understood Bruce's intention and nodded, saying, "Ah, I do know a little."

Bruce nodded in satisfaction and turned to Selena, saying, "Bin, he can read palms. Selena, let him read your palm."

So Selena reached out her hand and smiled as she offered it to Xiao Xian.

Selena's hands were slender and delicate, with long, narrow fingertips and neatly trimmed, rounded nails that had a subtle pink sheen. Her palms were covered with fine lines, exuding a unique beauty.

Xiao Xian walked up to Selena, gently took her hand, and felt the warmth and softness of her palm. Xiao Xian's fingers lightly stroked Selena's palm, seemingly analyzing her palmistry, but in reality, he was taking advantage of her.

Xiao Xian's fingers glided over Selena's life line, wisdom line, and heart line, gently kneading her fingers; every subtle touch carried a hint of ambiguity.

"Hmm, Selena, your palm lines indicate that you are a very intelligent and sensitive person," Xiao Xian said seriously as he continued to carefully "analyze" her palm. His fingers moved slowly across Selena's palm, sometimes pressing gently, sometimes stroking softly, as if admiring a work of art.

Selena glanced at Bruce, who was watching with unusual excitement and happiness, a satisfied smile on his face. He was clearly very pleased with Xiao Xian's "palm reading."

As Xiao Xian said, Bruce really is an environmentalist and is very passionate about environmental protection.

But Selena didn't expose Bruce. Instead, she said to Xiao Xian, "Bin, standing here must be tiring. Sit down."

Xiao Xian sat down on the sofa next to Selena. Selena then offered him one foot, smiling, and said, "You have palmistry, so do you have footistry?"

Selena's feet were translucent and delicate, with long, rounded toes and neatly trimmed nails painted with a light pink polish, making them appear incredibly tender. The insteps of her feet had beautiful lines, and the skin was fair and smooth, with almost visible blue veins. The soles of her feet were slightly concave, soft and supple, and her ankles were slender, as if perfectly sculpted.

"I can give it a try." Xiao Xian nodded after glancing at Bruce, who was frantically giving him meaningful glances and whose breathing was noticeably heavy.

Xiao Xian took Selena's foot and gently stroked her instep and toes, as if carefully "analyzing" her foot shape. Xiao Xian's fingers wandered over Selena's foot, sometimes pressing lightly, sometimes stroking gently.

"Selena, your foot readings indicate that you are a very charming and energetic person," Xiao Xian said, continuing to "analyze" her feet. His fingers gently traced Selena's toes and instep, each subtle touch carrying a hint of ambiguity and provocation.

Selena felt Xiao Xian's fingers roaming over her feet, a little ticklish, but she resisted the urge to move. She knew Bruce was watching with unusual excitement, and this thrill surprised her, but also gave her a sense of novelty.

Seeing this, Bruce quietly lowered his body to prevent Selena from noticing that his good brother was online, while a satisfied smile appeared on his face, clearly very pleased with Xiao Xian's "foot analysis".
