Roxy will arrive in three days.

But Merlin's formula still didn't make much progress.

He exchanged opinions with Duhovic's researcher, and Cypher also provided a lot of data. Each synthetic poison|drug is a step forward than the previous one, but it is far from the effect that Cypher needs.

I thought this unexpected undercover mission would be a vacation - he didn't have to be responsible for field missions, and he didn't have to worry about students and logistical chores. A lot of the burden was off his shoulders, and he could concentrate on researching the formula.But he didn't expect that the recipe alone would keep Merlin busy.

Merlin made a phone call to Duhovic, confirmed the time of Roxie's arrival, and reported the research progress by the way.

After dinner, Merlin received the results of several controlled experiments sent by the researcher overnight. He glanced at them and decided to finish processing before resting.

And then it was late at night.

"...Merlin?"

It wasn't until Phoebe's voice came from behind that Merlin suddenly returned to reality from the computer screen.

"what happened?"

Merlin turned around and asked.

Phoebe sat up in bed.

She was wearing a brand new nightdress, her ears and tail were drooping, and she yawned sleepily: "What time is it?"

He glanced at the time: "I'll be fine soon, you rest first."

But Phoebe didn't listen to him.

The young girl rolled over and got off the bed, walked silently behind Merlin, looked over her shoulder at the screen, and immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "Ah, it's almost here!"

Merlin's left hand went around his back and squeezed Phoebe's waist: "Right away."

Phoebe sighed. "Workaholic."

She wrapped her arms around his broad back, rested her chin on Merlin's shoulder, and said in a sticky tone: "Rest, Merlin, you are not made of iron."

"wait for me……"

"No wait!"

After finishing speaking, Phoebe's arms tightened, and the tip of her nose brushed against the man's neck, and the slightly hot air blew on her skin, which was a little itchy.

The girl's cheek was right next to his ear, moving along the line of the jawbone to the chin bit by bit, not sure if it was a kiss or a rub.The white cat also liked to do this in London, and Merlin didn't need to look back to know Phoebe's expression at this time: eyes slightly closed, sleepy, gray eyes full of intimacy and nostalgia.

"Go to bed," she whispered in his ear, "there's no rush for the formula, you've made much progress than before."

Merlin raised his eyebrows: "Do you understand?"

Phoebe: "..."

This is not a helpless silence, but a silence unwilling to answer.This made Merlin turn his head slightly in surprise, because Phoebe never avoided anything from him.

"About the formula," Merlin looked into Phoebe's eyes, "has something gone wrong in the past?"

He couldn't remember anything he'd done that Phoebe needed to avoid.

If you don't remember, it was before.

Only Phoebe didn't answer, she uttered a few meaningless syllables, her ears quivered impatiently in her hair, and then the girl cupped his face.

"You're always so tired."

Phoebe traced Merlin's face with the tip of her nose.

"It's hard to have a chance to breathe, no emergency calls, and no need to be online all day," she whispered, "Come with me, okay?"

Merlin laughed out loud: "Isn't it enough to be by my side all this time?"

"not enough."

She spoke bluntly.

"Not long enough."

The Phoebe who said this was arrogant and unreasonable, but who would object to seeing himself in the eyes of others?

He took her into his arms and kissed Phoebe on the cheek: "It's really clingy."

Phoebe pushed Merlin's face away in disgust: "Go and shave, you'll be stabbed to death."

It seems that the one who rubbed endlessly just now is not her.

But this wasn't the first time she said that. Seeing Phoebe's unhappy face, Merlin pursed his lips teasingly, and then hugged Phoebe.

Phoebe hugged Merlin's neck in surprise: "What are you doing?"

Merlin: "Shave."

He carried Phoebe to the bathroom. Luckily, Duhovic wasn't crazy enough to bug the toilet, and he didn't have to worry about being overheard here.

"It's so cold!" Phoebe yelled when Merlin put her next to the sink, as soon as her thigh touched the marble, she hugged Merlin tightly, refusing to let go like a koala.

"All right."

Merlin had no choice but to take out a towel from the side of the shower and spread it under Phoebe.She sat down reluctantly, and kept stroking Merlin's cheek.The stubble on the man's cheek itched when it touched the skin.

"Shaving cream." Merlin raised his chin.

Phoebe turned her head and took out shaving cream from under the vanity mirror. After seeing the Russian text on the package, she paused: "Did I take it right?"

Merlin couldn't help laughing: "No."

"That's good."

She squeezed out shaving cream and applied it to Merlin's face.

Slender fingers brushed against his skin, and Phoebe pinched Merlin's chin with an extremely serious expression: "I'm afraid of squeezing toothpaste on your face."

Phoebe maintained a serious posture, and silently painted Merlin three beards with shaving cream.

"Phoebe," Merlin warned, "don't think I can't see."

"hey-hey."

The white tail standing by the mirror flicked, obviously Phoebe was extremely pleased.

Merlin: "Be careful of my revenge."

Phoebe: "I don't have a beard."

Merlin: "Oh, really? The white cat certainly doesn't think so."

Phoebe: "..."

She straightened her spine like an electric shock, her face full of disbelief: "You—"

Before she could finish, Merlin grabbed her arm and rubbed three lines of shaving cream onto Phoebe's face.She grinned and screamed, and hurriedly pushed him away: "It's all on my pajamas, you're such a waste, Merlin!"

Anyway, daily necessities are reimbursed by Duhovic, so waste it.

Phoebe wasn't very good at using these men's products, let alone she was a mess from time to time, and it took a long time for the two of them to get the shaving cream alone.

"If I hurt you."

Phoebe, who was holding a razor, blinked her gray eyes and exhorted solemnly.

"Be sure to tell me, I will slow down, trust me."

Merlin: "..."

How strange is this line.

Especially Phoebe has a sly smile on her face. She seems to be looking forward to the part of shaving Merlin. She flicks her tail left and right behind her, which is what the white cat will do when she is happy.

"Okay," he raised his eyebrows, "try it."

So Phoebe made a bold move.

The girl's fingers landed on his neck, and her thumb pressed against his pulse, which moved from time to time.

The soft touch made Merlin slightly close his eyes.He followed Phoebe's instructions and turned his right cheek to her first.

"Your beard grows so fast."

Phoebe spoke while helping.

Merlin: "All men are like this."

Phoebe: "What about the hair?"

Merlin: "..."

Seeing his speechless expression, Phoebe raised the corners of her mouth, and she didn't dislike shaving cream anymore, and kissed Merlin's nose: "I like Merlin no matter what!"

"All right."

No matter how angry her temper is, she will wear it down. Merlin pushed Phoebe back: "Quick fight, it's you who said you should go to bed early."

"It's more than one o'clock," Phoebe muttered, "It's an early break there."

"Then why don't you hurry up?"

Phoebe snorted and continued to help Merlin shave the shaving cream off his face.

It was an exaggeration, but Phoebe was actually very careful, and it was Merlin who reminded him many times that his face was not made of glass before he was willing to use force.Fortunately, she is very smart and quickly got started.

In Phoebe's own words, it's kind of like getting an eyebrow trimmed.

She got used to the operation, and her body relaxed. The most obvious thing was that her tense ears drooped down again.

Phoebe didn't notice it herself. She thought for a while and suddenly said, "If I don't come, how are you going to spread the evidence? There is no internet here."

Merlin: "Play by ear."

"..."

Obviously this was not the answer Phoebe wanted to hear, she frowned: "How can this be?"

"Galen Erso passed on the weakness of the Death Star to the Rebels." Merlin raised his chin. "Duhovic's blockade is much more lax than that of the Empire."

Phoebe tentatively asked, "Star Wars?"

Merlin: "Star Wars, the favorite of the brats in the Ministry of Information."

Kings|man's logistics staff all know that Merlin has a little girlfriend who is a wizard, so Phoebe laughed: "I'll make it up when I get back to London."

Merlin: "So, what's your plan?"

"The moment I set off, Kings|man is in motion."

The shaving cream was clean, and Phoebe held Merlin's face in her hands in satisfaction, looked left and right, and then breathed a sigh of relief.She was afraid that one of them would accidentally hurt him, because the blade of the razor was still very sharp.

Merlin washed his face, looked at it in the mirror for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "It's pretty good."

"Of course!"

"Now can you tell me about Harry's plans?"

"No."

"Even if you know I'm not being threatened or controlled?"

"Ah."

It's really Harry's style.

The shot at whiskey in the Golden Circle mission report, even if he lost his memory, was enough to impress Merlin.

Friends and colleagues for many years are enough for Merlin to guess how Harry Hart told Phoebe.And his girl, who looks petite, cute and innocent, is actually very clear-headed.

Merlin had to bear this innocuous crisis of trust the moment Cypher smashed his glasses.

This is necessary, otherwise he will do the same.

So Merlin didn't continue to question Phoebe, he just nodded, then grabbed Phoebe's waist again, and pulled her towards him.

The girl's legs/legs/spread apart, falling on either side of his thighs.

"When I get back to London," Merlin whispered, "I want to meet your father, Phoebe."

Phoebe:! ! !

Her body froze suddenly.

Phoebe, who was always a few steps ahead of Merlin in terms of emotions, showed a blank expression for the first time.She looked at Merlin blankly as if she didn't understand, her clear eyes were full of surprise.

Is it so exaggerated?

Merlin laughed: "If you think it's not the time yet, you can wait."

"no!"

Phoebe retorted instinctively, but then she sighed: "It's pretty fast, but I don't think so, but I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed."

What can he do?

Merlin raised his eyebrows, a look was enough for Phoebe to understand his thoughts.The girl reached out and hugged him: "You always feel that many things are inappropriate. Uncle Harry said that my behavior has caused you a lot of trouble objectively. Merlin, don't give in because of responsibility. I think it's fine now, you Accepting me, liking me, is better than anything else."

"..."

Phoebe was never that kind of girl.

At this moment, he was still thinking about this kind of thing, Merlin didn't know whether he should be moved or helpless.Seeing Phoebe's pitiful expression, the man turned his head.

"Well, you did trouble me. It's not proper for a girl to pester a man all the time."

The fluffy tail immediately hung down in frustration.

But Merlin held Phoebe's hand tightly, and he leaned closer to the girl's ear: "So just pester me alone, don't do this kind of thing to other men."

Phoebe: "..."

Merlin kissed her cat ears, satisfied to see her flinch a little sensitively.

"But in this case, I'm not giving in, Phoebe," he said earnestly. "You come here from London, and the distance more than makes up for the time."

And before this, Merlin really hadn't lived with any lady for several months, and hadn't done anything yet.

Although Phoebe appeared as a white cat most of the time, this was indeed Merlin's first experience.Not to mention that Phoebe Lovegood has crossed half of Europe and risked her life to come to him and lend a helping hand to him.

His words brought light back to Phoebe's lost eyes.

The young girl smiled again: "Really?"

Merlin: "Really."

"Aren't you afraid that Uncle Harry will get angry again?"

...He was afraid of what Harry would do, and he would never really do anything to him.

"Perhaps we can ask him to come with us," Merlin thought, "to avoid embarrassment."

If it were Merlin, he would be embarrassed if his daughter brought back a boyfriend who was about the same age as him.

Harry would never use force against Phoebe's father in front of him!

"That's great!"

Phoebe said in surprise, she drew closer to Merlin and kissed him hard on the cheek: "I'll tell Dad when I get back to London!"

After she finished speaking, she calmed down first: "But I have to rest first, and the experiment report will be done tomorrow."

He said it as if she was so entangled that he would continue to stay up all night.Merlin laughed out loud, "Okay."
