... "???"
"!!!"
Looking at the hand that was waving back and forth before her eyes.
Harley Quinn was first confused, then perplexed.
After the hand waved back and forth a few times, she suddenly reacted, veins popping on her forehead, and a murderous rage instantly surged into her heart.
"f***"
Harley Quinn cursed, pulled out her pistol, and wildly pounced forward.
After tackling Lin Luo, she sat on his chest, pressing the gun against his forehead.
Lin Luo took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Harley Quinn's slender waist, and before she could get angry, he preemptively asked, "Little sister, is something wrong?"
"What?"
Harley Quinn was so infuriated that she almost pulled the trigger, saying, "You actually ask me if something's wrong? You dishonest brat!"
"Dishonest?" Lin Luo said righteously, "I had your permission, alright! If you don't believe me, please recall what I just asked you."
Harley Quinn bent down, her face close to Lin Luo's, and angrily retorted, "You said Bud and Louis were cute, and asked if you could pet them. I generously agreed, and what did you do?!"
"You tricked my feelings! If it weren't for those damn bastards who put a bomb on my head, I'd blow your brains out!"
"No, no, no." Lin Luo shook his head in defense, "I said the dogs were cute... could you let me pet them?"
"Dogs are cute, and you letting me pet them, those are two different things, okay?"
Harley Quinn: "..."
After this explanation.
The muzzle of the gun pressing against Lin Luo's forehead loosened a bit.
It sounded like it made some sense... A playful smile flashed across Lin Luo's face.
Harley Quinn was indeed as cute as he remembered her.
He then added, "Moreover, I asked you twice, and only after you agreed did I make a move. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"..."
Harley Quinn fell into thought, slowly lowering the gun.
Oh, right.
He asked twice; she just agreed without thinking it through.
Strictly speaking, it really wasn't his fault... What a load of crap!
Harley Quinn looked at Lin Luo, her expression showing annoyance that she couldn't vent.
He absolutely couldn't get away with this!
"Can you let go of me now?" Lin Luo asked with a smile.
"Oh! You can! Of course you can!"
Harley Quinn stood up, spread her legs, put away her pistol, and warned with a smile, "This time it's fine, but don't pull pranks like that again."
"Luckily, my boyfriend doesn't live here, otherwise no one could save you."
Mentioning Joker, Harley Quinn's small face beamed with happiness.
Lin Luo looked at her in this girlish manner and suddenly had a bold and interesting idea.
Alas... blame S.H.I.E.L.D. for the timing of their attack.
It just so happened to be on his way back, and he coincidentally fell into Harley Quinn's hands.
"The boyfriend you're talking about is Joker, right?" Lin Luo stood up and asked.
"Uh-huh." Harley Quinn looked surprised and asked, "You know Joker too?"
"Of course." Lin Luo brought up Joker's titles: "Joker, one of the World's top supervillains, Gotham's nightmare, Batman's lifelong enemy."
Harley Quinn listened, her arms crossed in adoration, nodding repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, yes! Joker is that great!"
"Uh..."
After a short moment of happiness, Harley Quinn suddenly remembered something else.
She blinked her eyes, looking at Lin Luo expectantly, and asked, "What about me? You know Joker, so you must know me too, right?"
"You?" Lin Luo pretended to think, seriously pondering for a few seconds, then said, "Joker's girlfriend, oh... so you're Harley Quinn."
"Mhm!"
Harley Quinn quickly nodded, her eyes even more hopeful than before.
Lin Luo understood Harley Quinn's thoughts and said, "Before, people said Harley Quinn was Joker's sidekick, a useless pretty face who only became famous by clinging to Joker."
"They were wrong. Harley Quinn herself is very beautiful."
When Harley Quinn first started out, she didn't care much about what the outside World thought of her.
Later, with various highly insulting titles like 'pretty face,' 'burden,' and 'unworthy of Joker' piled on her, she couldn't help but care.
I'm clearly a capable female thug, alright!
How am I unworthy!
She argued with those people countless times, but the result was always the same, which made her feel a bit insecure herself.
Harley Quinn's spirit was heavily struck; she let her arms fall weakly and said with a bitter smile, "Alright, I knew it would be like this."
Lin Luo patted Harley Quinn's shoulder comfortingly, "Don't be sad. Honestly, your personal charm isn't weak; you just took the wrong path."
"Once you find the right path, you will also shine brightly."
"Is that so?" Harley Quinn looked up, her smile recovering slightly, "I feel much better after hearing your words."
"Mm."
Lin Luo met her gaze, his hand no longer patting but also not lowered.
The two looked at each other for a while... Harley Quinn spoke, breaking the atmosphere, "I understand the reason, so, can you go back and sit down?"
"Okay."
Lin Luo honestly went back and sat down, "Miss Harley, is your TV still working? Please turn it on."
"Yes, I can, seeing as you've encouraged me..." Harley Quinn ran to turn on the old TV in the corner.
"Oh! Oh, sh*t! Oh my god! Oh my god!"
The button was pressed, the TV turned on, followed by a strange line of dialogue, and the screen displayed images that could only be described with mosaics.
Lin Luo: "???"
Harley Quinn: "!!!"
Both of them froze for a moment.
"Hahaha!"
Harley Quinn's face flushed crimson; she quickly hugged the screen, then awkwardly laughed to cover the sound coming from the TV, and hurriedly moved to turn off the TV.
However, the power button had a slight problem; she pressed it several times, but it wouldn't turn off.
"Sh*t!"
Harley Quinn, exasperated, grabbed the baseball bat leaning against the wall, and with one swing, shattered the screen.
The image disappeared, but the sound continued. She gritted her teeth and swung the bat again and again.
Only when the poor old TV was smashed flat did she turn around with a smile and say,
"If I told you that was a movie Poison Ivy watched at my place, would you believe me?"
"I believe you." Lin Luo replied seriously and earnestly.
"Phew..." Harley Quinn breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile, put down the baseball bat, and slumped onto the sofa.
Her heart was on a roller coaster, thrilling.
Harley Quinn stared intently at Lin Luo, who was sitting on the sofa.
Spending time with this young man was strangely harmonious, with an indescribable sense of ease.
After a while, she stood up, "The TV's gone. If you want to watch anything, you can use my phone."
Harley Quinn took out her pink smartphone and handed it to Lin Luo.
Lin Luo unceremoniously took it and searched for the latest news reports.
