sherlock cat

On the way back, Jenny and Sherlock made a "pirate" trip together.

The wind and rain have stopped, but the clouds have not dissipated, and the sky is still falling heavily overhead, as if it will fall down at any time.

Jenny stood on the deck, looking at the dark sea and Sherinford receding further and further away on the sea.

Sherlock's steady voice sounded above his head: "Mycroft guarantees with his personality that Oros will not leave Sherringford again this time."

Although Jenny expressed doubts about the personality of the British government, she didn't say anything and nodded with a smile.

Olos was not really on her mind, and she forgot about the third Sherlock Holmes child almost as soon as she stepped out of Sherringford.

Jenny doesn't have any special affection for Oluos just because she is Sherlock's younger sister, and she doesn't think it's pity that she has a superior IQ since she was a child and cannot be understood by others, or that she is locked up on an isolated island away from her family.

In Jenny's view, none of this can change the fact that Oulos is a pervert.

She didn't hurt her today - of course, the knocked out didn't count - it was just because she knew that although Sherlock looked indifferent on the surface, he actually valued his friends and family in his heart, and she didn't want him to be sad.

If Oulos is cooperative and doesn't want to repent, and Mycroft's personality is really unreliable, Jenny doesn't mind adding back the "damage value" saved today.

Looking at the mighty sky and water in front of her, Jenny suddenly said: "This is the first time for me to take a boat."

The words came out, and found that the voice fell on the sea surface and the sea wind, a little empty.

In the past, she had imagined many images of sailing across the sea with Sherlock, and it was the first time she boarded a boat after such a long time.Even as a cat, I can't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Two or three seabirds happened to fly over their heads, and they croaked twice towards the vast sea in a timely manner.

Amidst the low chirping of seabirds, Jenny's thoughts wandered to another matter.

In fact, when she went out to buy fish and chips in the morning, she not only met Oulos.That was just the most insignificant part of her day's content.

She also got a phone call.

After this phone call, she met Oulos, and was taken to Sherringford, and now she has time to think about this phone call from beginning to end.

It was Stark calling her.

It's not surprising to receive a call from Stark. Jenny thinks that he is probably the most idle of the Avengers. In the few days since she left New York, he has kept a perfect record of calling her at least three times a day, like morning, noon and night. The old father who checks on the guard regularly, blacklisting him doesn't work.

It doesn't work if you don't answer it, he will let Jarvis directly hack her phone and answer it automatically.

There is no psychological burden for Mr. Iron Man to do this kind of thing.

In the call Jenny received this morning, Stark was uncharacteristically, and said something serious.

Mr. Iron Man said that he had considered for a long time whether to tell her about it.If she really made up her mind to leave England, that is, leave Sherlock, he would probably choose to hide it.But now that her resolve had wavered—or hadn't, Stark thought maybe he should tell her.

Jenny didn't know how, thousands of kilometers away, how Stark diagnosed her wavering determination.This is something even she herself is not sure about.

But she didn't say anything, and listened attentively to Stark, who was rare and serious, and continued.

Stark continued: "Do you still remember the time I took you, Little Spider and Kuaiyin to the Aquavit restaurant for dinner?"

Jenny nodded cooperatively on the other end of the phone, and then searched the name of the restaurant that had become blurred in her mind.

"We had a great meal, and as I said, Aquavit is the only place in New York that has barely-there food and a decent setting."

Jenny wanted to remind him that if she remembered correctly, once they ate a hamburger in a fast food restaurant after their mission, he also ate it with great relish, without any sign of inedibility or dissatisfaction with the environment.

"Anyway, the only 'flaw' of the dinner was a funny waiter who suddenly appeared while we were ordering. I don't comment on his exaggerated and poor acting skills, but the crappy southern American accent is really impressive. It's unbearable, it's a torture to the ears."

Jenny yawned sleepily, and asked blankly, "Have you finished?"

Stark asked her: "Don't you have any impression of this waiter?"

"No." Jenny answered without any hesitation.

"Jenny."

When Stark's voice was low, it showed a kind of extra seriousness.

Jenny froze for a moment.

I heard him say, "Think about it again."

Jenny really thought about it again.

During the year in the United States, Stark often took her to dinner, sometimes with the members of the Avengers, sometimes just the two of them.It's always right to follow Stark when it comes to eating, drinking and having fun.

Sometimes Jenny felt that Stark seemed to have a special sense of responsibility for her, probably because he took her away from England.It's like after he "recruited" the little spider, he unknowingly assumed the responsibility of cultivating the little spider.

Or maybe, just because, he knew, they needed him.

Jenny struggled for a long time in her small cat's head before she figured out the scene where Stark took her, Little Spider, and Quicksilver to dinner at a very high-end restaurant.

Kuaiyin also brought an invitation from the professor that day, saying that if Jenny had played enough in Avengers, should she go back to Xavier College?

Stark expressed strong dissatisfaction with the professor's wording of "back to Xavier College", saying that Jenny is from the Avengers, not Xavier College.

The little spider asked Jenny with concern if she really wanted to go back to... er, changed the word under Stark's stern glare - to Xavier College.

Looking back now, it was actually just over two months ago.

Jenny still remembered that the weather didn't seem to be very good that night. They chose a seat by the window and couldn't see a single star through the window.

She wasn't in a good mood that day either.Now she has forgotten why, anyway, during that period of time she was often in a bad mood, like a cat who entered menopause early and could blow up even a little thing.

She didn't want her unhappiness to affect other people, so she tried her best to answer the three men's more boring questions patiently.

Stark didn't forget to praise the food at the Aquavit restaurant again on the phone, but Jenny couldn't remember what they had that night at all.

But Jenny vaguely remembered the waiter who Stark said spoke with a crappy southern American accent.

When the waiter appeared, Jenny had just answered Quicksilver and Little Spider respectively about her question of whether to stay or not.

Although it may be a bit heartless to say this, and I'm sorry Stark invited her to eat so many meals, but in essence, Jenny felt that staying in the Avengers or going to Xavier College was no different at that time, she was just too lazy to make a fuss, so For the time being, I still decided to stay in Fulian.

The vague impression in my mind seemed to gradually become clear. The waiter was wearing a black suit and a white shirt, which was not surprising, as all the waiters in the restaurant were dressed the same.He also seems to be wearing a pair of incongruous glasses and a funny mustache under his nose.

The waiter asked her, "Would you like something, pretty lady?"

Before she looked up, Stark ordered food for her directly.When handing the menu to the waiter, Stark also asked the waiter to bring the red wine he kept here.

Little Spider was still immersed in the excitement of her promise to stay in the Avengers, and happily said that the Avengers is the most powerful superpower group in the world, because there is Mr. Stark in the Avengers.Little fans never forget to confess their idols.He also said that her decision was extremely correct and wise.

Immediately afterwards, he asked her expectantly, "Are you going back to England?"

Hearing this question, the waiter's hand reaching for the menu seemed to pause.

At that time, Jenny just thought that this talkative little spider was too good at chatting.She glanced out of the window again, and there was still not a single star in the lonely sky.She really doesn't like a starless night, which makes people feel dark and without light.

She gritted her teeth, and said a little discouragedly: "I won't go back! I'm so happy staying here with everyone, I don't want to go anywhere!"

Thinking of this, Jenny closed her eyes.

Her brain began to automatically complement the waiter, complementing his tall and thin figure, his white and slender fingers when picking up the menu, and his low and pleasant voice when talking to her.

If you listen carefully, the voice may still tremble a little.

And of course, his beautiful curly black hair.

Even the smell seemed to be supplemented, the smell that belonged to him that she should have recognized the first time he approached.

But at that time she didn't notice any of this.

Jenny couldn't tell if it was because she was in a bad mood that day that she ignored all the details, or if she didn't have any hope in her heart that he would come to her.

She has been disappointed too many times, and she doesn't allow herself to have hope anymore, so even if the truth is in front of her, as long as it is slightly obscured, she will not allow herself to believe it.

There is no need for Stark to continue talking, the memory has slowly recovered.

That night after they had eaten, they came out of the Aquavit restaurant and passed the central square when she heard the melodious sound of a violin.

She has been attracted by the sound of the violin and looked for it, and saw a homeless man playing the violin on the street corner.

She stood and listened for a long time in a daze.

The bum was wearing a dirty overcoat, a battered hat, and a stained face.

But if she looked carefully, she could find his white and slender fingers that did not match the dirty clothes and hat, and the black curly hair that slipped out of the brim of the hat and gently rested on his forehead.

In fact, she has recognized him, she recognized his piano.

But her eyes did not recognize him.

She followed Stark away.

When he left, he took out all the money on his body and put it in his piano case.

……

After thinking things over clearly, Jenny looked at the dark sea with a dazed expression.

He had gone to her and she was very happy.

She also believed that he might really like her.But is there no problem in this way?

She still couldn't figure it out, if he liked her, then in the year when they first met, in the memory she had forgotten before, why he always acted like he hated her and always left her behind.

She admitted that in the final analysis, she is just a cat. Even if she has lived for more than 500 years, she is not as capable of having such complex thoughts and controlling such complex behaviors as humans.

She didn't want to guess.

In fact, she has always been a very narrow-minded cat.For so long, he has only been generous to him.

Jenny swayed on the deck as the waves rose and fell.Sherlock took her hand and pulled her closer.

Jenny immediately clung to him consciously, with the cat's head resting on his shoulder.

She could hear the sound of the waves beating against the planks of the boat, and suddenly she asked him, "Do you know the Time Stone?"

Sherlock glanced sideways at the top of her head and said, "I know."

Jenny hugged his arm, looked at the sea and said, "Doctor Strange has a time gem, which can control time. But Doctor Strange is very stingy, and he is never willing to lend the gem to others."

Speaking of this, she wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, and then continued, "I asked myself a question before, if Dr. Strange is willing to lend me the time gem hanging around his neck, let me go back to 23 Years ago, would I still like to meet you?"

Sherlock froze for a moment.

Jenny's head was still on his shoulder: "I didn't have the answer then, but then I thought about it."

Only then did she raise her head and turned to look at him, her beautiful amber eyes seemed to be soaked in the gloomy color of the sea.

She smiled: "I think I'd still like to meet you."

Sherlock's eyes moved.

"The half day you played with me is a beautiful thing to remember at any time, why don't you let it happen?" Jenny looked at him, "But as long as that half day is enough. I won't come out to look for you again Yes, Sherlock. If I say that the most useful thing I have learned during this time is that people can't be too greedy—" She smiled again, "Neither can cats. The troubles of all creatures come from greed. Little Greed has small afflictions, big greed has big afflictions. Like me..."

"I'll go find you." Sherlock interrupted her very quickly in a low voice, "If you don't want to see me anymore, I'll go find you."

It was still his characteristic deep voice, apart from being slightly unsteady, no extra emotion could be heard.But Jenny saw that his light-colored lips trembled, and then they were pressed tightly.There seemed to be a thick fog in the gray pupils.

Jenny knew that he had misunderstood her.She didn't want to "sever friendship" with him, and what she said in the above article was also her "later" thinking, and now her thinking has changed again.When you think about it this way, she really is a moody and capricious cat.

But Sherlock said to go find her, which she very much agrees with.

She wanted him to recall the entire memory between them, without any gaps, guesses, and uncertainties.Whether it is good or bad, it is their own experience, it is the imprint left by time, and it is these imprints that have carved them into what they are today.Just like the annual rings on the little tree demon, it is impossible to remove one ring without damage.

Jenny stood on tiptoe and touched the beautiful curly hair on his forehead: "If you want to find me, you have to remember the memories of your childhood, so that you know where to find me."

Sherlock said, "I'll remember."

"Also, you always left me in the past. In fact, I was very sad. You have to think of these things quickly and tell me why you did that at that time, and then I will think about whether to forgive you."

He looked at her deeply and said, "OK."

In fact, he has already said it once, but it seems that the drunk cat didn't hear it, and he doesn't mind saying it to her again, as many times as necessary.

The sky was extremely dark under the black clouds, but it was enough for Jenny to clearly see a small reflection of her in his gray pupils that had been dispersed by the thick fog.

Jenny remembered that she hadn't heard him play the violin since she came back.This discovery immediately caused strong reluctance in her heart, but she immediately suppressed these reluctance.

He raised his hand and landed on the corner of her eyes.

Her pupils, as bright as morning stars, are still amber.

His eyes were as deep as a pool, making her little reflection in them clearer.

Thick black clouds spread over the sea, swaying gently with the sea water.

He leaned over slightly, and Jenny blinked, and his kiss had already landed on the corner of her eye.

I heard him say: "When I find you, I will play the piano for you."

There was heat in Jenny's eyes, and she put her arms around his waist: "Then you have to come quickly."

"it is good."

……

The seabirds that had just flown away flew back again, hovering and singing on the vast sea.

Sherlock was still standing on the deck, with only the breaking waves in front of his eyes, and his coat was blown up at a corner.

It seems to be windy again.

The author has something to say: Do you feel the breath of ending?
