It was dark in the alley, and there wasn't a single street light. The bleak autumn wind blew, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Gu Shanna was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Are you talking about yourself?"

The man chuckled and let go of her hand. He said helplessly, "Fine, I admit it —"

At this moment, a round object streaked across the night sky, carrying with it a great force as it flew in a perfect parabola straight towards the two of them.

"Watch out!" the man shouted and tried to push Gu Shanna away, but unexpectedly, someone was faster.

Gu Shanna felt a weight on her waist, and the next second, the left side of her body was taken out of the alley.

"Who's there?"

The man in the alley dodged the attack of the unknown object, and immediately grabbed Gu Shanna's right hand and dragged her into the alley. "Let go of her!"

It was like a tug-of-war, and Gu Shanna's face was dark on one side and bright on the other. From then on, she had a deep understanding of the boundary between light and darkness.

Gu Shanna screamed with her eyes closed, "Be gentle! My arm!"

"Run, Ma 'am! There's a pervert!"

"Peter?" Gu Shanna was a little surprised. She opened her eyes and saw that it really was Peter. "Why are you here?"

Peter was burning with anxiety. He hated that he couldn't expose his identity and tie her up like a cocoon. "Call the police — Huh?

Detective Grayson? "

Gu Shanna turned her head abruptly. "Who's there?"

She met Dick's stunned gaze.

All three of them were stunned. The tug-of-war stopped, and the screaming stopped. Their postures didn't change, and they just looked at each other in a standard dumbfounded manner.

For a moment, Gu Shanna thought of many words related to "three": Zhang San Li Si, Three Heads and Six Arms, Love Triangle, Iron Triangle, the Rise of Love in Three Lives and Three Generations, Three Stinking Cobblers Stinking Zhuge Liang … Bah!

Her gaze moved back and forth between the two boys' faces. Although their expressions were normal, she felt that there was a subtle change in the magnetic field.

Gu Shanna coughed softly to break the silence. "Erm, are you … out for a walk at night?"

Dick stared at Peter. "I'm here to inspect the safety of the district."

Peter stared at Dick. "I came out to buy some chewing gum, and I was looking for you."

Dick smiled and bent down to pick up the gum jar by his feet. "This should be yours, right?"

Gu Shanna suddenly realized that the unknown object that attacked Dick just now was a tin can of chewing gum.

Peter pursed his lips and reached for the gum. "Thank you."

Their gazes intersected for a brief moment in the air, paused for a moment, then quickly moved away without leaving a trace, each looking in a different direction.

Gu Shanna, who had a panoramic view of everything, thought, 'Wow, inspiration is coming.'

"What about you?" Dick put one hand in his pocket and said with a half-smile, "Why do you always like to come out in the middle of the night for a walk?"

Gu Shanna pointed at the billboard. "Chinese supermarkets have discounts after nine o 'clock."

Especially in the fresh food category, the discounts were quite high. Rounding it up, she would make a net profit of one hundred million yuan.

Dick: "…"

Speaking of which, where was her paper bag?

Gu Shanna looked around and found that the paper bag was behind Dick. She said, "Please help me pick up the paper bag — don't step on my precious dried swallow skin!!!"

Dick was shocked by the sudden scream. He slipped and almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly steadied himself and said, "Miss, calm down!"

How could she calm down? That was one of the ingredients of the delicious meat swallow!

Gu Shanna took the paper bag and kissed it madly, not caring that it was dirty. "My darling, I'll cook you when I get back."

Peter: "…"

Dick: "…"

When she got home, Gu Shanna didn't even have time to change her clothes. She immediately threw herself at her desk. Inspiration came rolling in. Even the Buddha's Five Finger Mountain couldn't suppress it.

After the meeting, the staff saw that she was so focused and didn't disturb her. They closed the door and left.

Gu Shanna let herself loose and wrote 5,000 words in an hour and a half. She then spent another half an hour checking for typos and punctuation. Before dawn, she had updated a chapter.

The comments section was once again in a frenzy.

"Mom, come out and see a miracle!"

"She, she actually updated again?

This is the benefit of the late sleeper! Hahaha! "

"Love Missus for a Thousand Years!"

"Missus, don't stay up late anymore. You can write slowly, but you must cherish your health."

"Man Pit, tell me honestly. Did you sell this account to someone else?"

"Sell my ass. Comrade Full Of Truffles is such a weirdo. Whoever dares to buy this account is a real man!"

…

Even her editor was alarmed and sent her a private message in the middle of the night: [Man Pit … No, Song Lu, are you okay?]

Full Of Truffles: [… No, what's wrong with you two? You won't let me improve?]

Editor: [Oh, I just wanted to tell you that since you resumed updating, the number of readers who came to complain about you has decreased by 50%.]

Full Of Truffles: […]

Editor: [I can finally take annual leave and go to Tahiti with my husband. Thank you!]

Full Of Truffles: [… You're welcome. Please call me Red Scarf.]

After a few days, the renovation was officially completed.

They carefully checked the details one by one, especially the pipes, connectors, and sockets. After making sure there were no problems, Gu Shanna went to the renovation company to pay the balance.

She had completed another small task.

Gu Shanna took out her notebook and flipped to the task list. She made a small tick behind [Renovation].

Now, as long as the restaurant opened within the specified time, the second task would be completed.

Gu Shanna's face was bitter. She flipped through the notes she had taken from a professional food and beverage forum. Just the complicated kitchen preparations before the opening gave her a headache.

Publicity was even worse. If this was the real world, Gu Shanna was a VIP with hundreds of thousands of fans on Weibo. If she raised her arms and called for help, it would have some effect. But in this world, she could only play with eggs. At most, she would attract zombie fans and fake accounts.

She had a not-so-romantic encounter with someone who was trying to cross the river by feeling the stones!

Gu Shanna pursed her lips and put the notebook back gloomily.

At the same time, a police car stopped beside her. The window was quickly rolled down, and Dick Grayson's handsome face appeared in front of her.

"Good morning, lady boss." Dick smiled. "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Gu Shanna chuckled inwardly. Those words might be able to coax other girls, but not for a melodramatic writer like her, who relied on "chance" and "coincidence" to develop the plot.

Tsk, it was strange. Before she had transmigrated, she had worshipped Dick Grayson. Why was it that after spending some time with him, she had become more and more … It wasn't that she disliked him, but that she always wanted to tease him?

It was probably because the tug-of-war in the alley that day had ruined Dick's glorious and magnificent image in her heart.

"It is quite a coincidence." Gu Shanna smiled. "This road is in the opposite direction of the police station. Are you going out of the city?"

Dick said calmly, "I was asking a witness on the next street. I was in a daze while driving and turned around."

Gu Shanna said, "Oh."

"Do you need me to give you a ride?" Dick asked. "I'm going back to the police station."

The renovation company was far from the subway station, and a taxi was expensive. Gu Shanna thought for a moment and agreed. "Okay, thank you."

Dick opened the door of the front passenger seat and joked, "Then sit here. The back seat is for criminals."

Why did it sound so weird?

But Gu Shanna had always been careless. She forgot about it and didn't think too much about it. She nimbly got into the car and fastened her seatbelt.

Dick's car was very clean from the inside out. There wasn't a single hamburger wrapper stained with sauce, nor was there any strange smell. Gu Shanna didn't even find a paper cup that could be used as a temporary ashtray.

"Don't you smoke?"

Gu Shanna was surprised. "I've seen all the famous characters in detective dramas smoke a lot."

Dick couldn't help but laugh. "A role with status?

If that's the case, doesn't that mean I don't have any? "

Gu Shanna thought for a moment. "Then do you have any quirks?

Like using only a piece of toilet paper when you go to the bathroom, having a pacifier when you sleep, or refusing to eat anything with a molecular formula similar to phenol? "

Dick was dumbfounded. "Huh?"

Gu Shanna said solemnly, "If you have quirks, you'll be famous in detective dramas even if you don't smoke. Also, you'll be a super important main character, the kind who stands in the center."

This time, Dick understood. He laughed so hard that he leaned over the steering wheel. "Well, I don't have quirks, but I live with a bunch of brothers who have quirks."

"It's a quirk to be able to live in harmony with weirdos and enjoy it." Gu Shanna pretended to be serious. "Congratulations, you've debuted in the center."

Dick held back his laughter. "Thank you. You can ask me to endorse a restaurant in the future. I'll give you a discount."

Gu Shanna didn't know what to say.

Well, her younger brother would help her with the brochure, and her older brother would also endorse Qingqing. She would soon have the Batman family in one fell swoop. It was quite a beautiful scene!

Gu Shanna couldn't help but imagine such a scene. Happiness came to an end when Bruce expressionlessly said to the camera, "A superhero themed restaurant, your dream restaurant."

It was too out of place. It didn't look like an advertisement to tempt customers, but more like a job advertisement in the Gotham Police Department, full of the cold temperament of a law enforcement officer.

While Gusanna sat in her reverie, Dick watched her out of the corner of his eye -- indeed, at first, from the point of view of a policeman, he observed her in a scrutinizing manner.

Then …

Then, he inexplicably deviated from the main topic. When he came back to his senses, he had already carefully observed Gu Shanna from head to toe. He even analyzed the brand of perfume she used and what the front and back notes were.

Dick was flustered. He looked away from her and coughed a few times to clear his mind. Then, he remembered his original purpose.

"Are the new employees you hired all locals?"

He asked calmly. "If they're not locals, remember to remind them to apply for a temporary residence permit at the police station. We'll start a unified inspection next week."

As he spoke, he paid special attention to Gu Shanna's reaction.

Gu Shanna said casually, "Gebbi and Peter have applied for it. It shouldn't be a problem. Thank you."

Dick pretended to be surprised. "Isn't Peter a local?"

Gu Shanna said, "He's from New York."

And he's a member of the Avengers!

Dick said casually, "He's really strong."

He almost lost the tug-of-war that day.

Gu Shanna said, "He's so-so."

Compared to Hulk, Little Spider's strength was considered small.

Dick asked, "Did you know each other before?"

When he said this, he was inexplicably nervous.

"No." Gu Shanna shook her head. "To be honest, I met him a few hours later than I met you."

Although I already knew you in the real world, hehehe.
