Aurora pursed her lips and smiled, recalling what Lestrade said to her before, she quickly suppressed her smile, and asked sternly, "By the way, why are there so few clues in the preliminary preparation? Have you found out?"

Sherlock had expected Lestrade to tell Aurora a long time ago, and he was not surprised to see her know about this matter, shook his head, and replied: "JM is behind the scenes, and prepared crystal coffins and iron coffins for the two of them. Props like dancing shoes."

"JM again? Who the hell is he?" Aurora couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

This JM obviously wants to make trouble, she has already predicted that there will be more cases in the future.And as a Scotland Yard detective who is on paid leave at home without a case, she is naturally desperate.

Sherlock didn't answer, just smiled and said nothing.

Aurora also raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.

After Sherlock finally got his wish and took Aurora's ride back home, Mrs. Hudson who came to open the door for Sherlock insisted on asking Aurora to come and sit.In fact, ever since she misunderstood the relationship between the two of them, she often used various excuses that could be easily exposed by Sherlock and Aurora to invite Aurora to come to 221B as a guest. "Create opportunities".

It's hard to turn down hospitality, and it's not easy for Aurora to always refuse Mrs. Hudson. After several times of rejection, she always comes again.Before this time, Aurora had only rejected her four times in a row, so the answer Mrs. Hudson got this time was still rejection.

Mrs. Hudson has also figured out the pattern. For every five times that Aurora rejects her, she promises once.She looked at Aurora with a gossipy face, wondering what she was trying to figure out, and said, "Aurora, it's been five times now. I invite you to drink coffee tomorrow Saturday, you can't refuse."

Aurora shrugged, and replied helplessly: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't refuse anymore, but I already have an appointment to drink coffee with Orange Juice tomorrow."

"Huh?" Mrs. Hudson stared at Aurora tightly, as if she would never let her go.

"It's better the day after tomorrow." Aurora swallowed a mouthful of saliva, changed the topic, and continued.

Mrs. Hudson nodded contentedly, and the expression on her face changed to "You can't get away this time".

Aurora: "..."

Although Aurora did make up some reasons before, she lied to Mrs. Hudson that she had something to do, and she couldn't have a date with Sherlock at your house that you imagined but didn't actually exist.Ah no, I can't go to your house for coffee and dessert.

But this time, Aurora made absolutely no excuses.She did make an appointment to go out for coffee with Orange Juice on Saturday, and it was the other party's treat, so why not do it?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the coffee shop, the beating notes played the second movement of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto, which is soothing, lyrical, somewhat sad and full of idyllic poetry, tapping on the heartstrings of customers.

Aurora looked around, looked at the coffee shop that Li Chengzhi brought her to, sat down slowly, and said a little anxiously: "I always feel that something bad is going to happen again."

Li Chengzhi grabbed the menu handed over by the waiter, pointed to two cups of coffee, put them together, and signaled the waiter to leave first.

"Wait a minute, I haven't asked them if they have mung bean cakes here?" Aurora looked at the waiter who picked up the menu and walked to the front desk reluctantly, and extended Erkang's hand to his back.

Li Chengzhi knew that Aurora likes to ask if there is any problem with mung bean cakes everywhere, and magically conjured a bag of "Jade Bean Paste Pastry Cake" from under the table, put it on the table and pushed it to the opposite side, laughing Said: "So, for a long time after that, probably nothing bad will happen around you."

Aurora, who was stuffing the mung bean cake in her mouth, heard this, and couldn't wait to ask Li Chengzhi a question, so as expected, she choked the puff pastry on the surface of the mung bean cake that had not been chewed into the trachea, and then said nothing. I couldn't stop coughing, I almost coughed up my lungs.

When Li Chengzhi saw this, he felt very speechless, but he still stood up from the red leather chair, walked over to Aurora who was sitting opposite him, who was coughing like hell, and gently and regularly Patting her on the back, the complaint sounded a little more gentle: "Slow down, I won't fight with you."

At this time, the handsome waiter brother came over with a tray with two glasses of iced latte on it.

Aurora picked up a glass, raised her head and drank it in one gulp, finally got her breath, sighed with relief, and slammed the empty glass on the table.

The handsome waiter brother was obviously frightened by her behavior, quickly put down another cup of latte, put the tray under his arm, and walked away quickly.

Aurora looked at the far away figure of the waiter again, with black lines all over her face, pointed to the tip of her nose and asked, "Am I that scary?"

Li Chengzhi, who saw the scene just now, had already returned to his seat and was gloating and enjoying Aurora's joke, when he heard her suddenly ask himself this question, he suddenly suppressed all smiles and nodded solemnly. Seriously said: "Yeah, every time I see your face, I will be frightened by you."

Aurora tried her best to resist the urge to pick up another cup and pour all the coffee in Li Chengzhi's face, wiped her loose long hair, and asked him with a smirk: "Should we not talk about it?" That's it, are you going to leave recently? Apart from this, I didn't think of anything to prevent some bad things from happening around me?"

Seeing Aurora staring at the still full cup of coffee on the table, Li Chengzhi seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. The middle of the ring was pulled to his side, and he was still holding the ring tightly, as if he had no intention of letting go.

"Yeah, I'm going back to China." He said casually.

Aurora, who was still joking at first, reacted a little too aggressively when she heard what Li Chengzhi said. She immediately tensed up and stopped leaning back against the soft chair back. He poked his elbow on the table and asked eagerly, "Are you going abroad? How long? Is there any action? I don't care what non-disclosure agreement you have, hurry up and tell me the truth!"

It was rare for Li Chengzhi to see Aurora nervous, and felt that she seemed a little funny, but when she thought that she was worried about him, he couldn't laugh anymore.He originally wanted to tease her again, but seeing her like this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a smile: "What action, I'm going back to China to pick up a business partner."

Hearing what he said, Aurora's hanging heart fell back again, and she rolled her eyes in a signature manner. She who was still worried about Li Chengzhi a second ago began to complain again: "Can you stop talking all the time? half?"

"I didn't just say half of it, and I didn't say that I went back to China to perform any special mission. It was just your own imagination." Li Chengzhi took a sip of his coffee, and turned back like Aurora He rolled his eyes and complained angrily, "What? Agents aren't human? They're not on a mission, or on their way? I also have my own company, my own business, and it's normal to go on a business trip. OK?"

Aurora relaxed completely, picked up the porcelain spoon in the empty glass, and twirled it aimlessly in the glass, as if she didn't listen to his words.

Li Chengzhi saw that her left ear went in and the right ear came out, so he had the idea of ​​teasing her again, and said with a smile: "And according to the rules of our Ministry of National Security, even if I really want to return to China to perform tasks, I can only I can tell you that I am on a business trip."

Aurora, who was turning the spoon attentively, was taken aback for a moment when she heard this, and suddenly let go of the spoon, and the porcelain spoon fell into the empty bone china cup, making a crisp sound of "clang".She raised her eyes to look at Li Chengzhi, frowned, and said half complaining and half worried: "So you are still lying to me."

Li Chengzhi somehow felt that Aurora in this appearance was a bit cute, so he let go of the hand holding the cup wall, fanned her face a few times, and almost burst into tears: "Haha, actually, I'm really going to pick up a friend of."

Aurora leaned her head forward, with a complicated expression on her face. Although she looked annoyed, she was more relieved.She grabbed the cup of coffee that Li Chengzhi had taken a sip of, and dragged it from the opposite edge of the table to her side, making a lot of noise, and then picked up the cup with a vicious gesture.

Li Chengzhi looked at Aurora's series of actions and thought that she could not help but pour coffee all over her face at last. Feeling that she was really going to finish, she raised her hands to protect her face reflexively, and held her hand tightly. I closed my eyes.

After about a century, Li Chengzhi didn't feel the brown, cold, viscous liquid splashing on his face or hands, so he tried to open his eyes and peeped at Aurora through the gap between his fingers. every move.

Aurora was sitting on the opposite seat, crossing her legs leisurely, and tapped her toes on the ground regularly.She held the glass of iced latte between her hands, held it to her mouth, and sipped it.The long narrow eyes stared at him, just meeting his searching eyes.

Li Chengzhi realized that Aurora had discovered his small movements, so he moved his hands away graciously, pursed his mouth, and said, "Luoluo, I drank that cup of coffee."

"I know, I'm not blind." Aurora was enjoying the joy of a successful prank, raising her head triumphantly, leaning back on the back of the chair, tilting her head and squinting at the speechless Li Chengzhi, She raised her eyebrows, and said, "Don't be shy, little orange juice, I don't despise you."

Li Chengzhi listened to Aurora's words that he didn't dislike him, put on an expression that he disliked her, "tsk" a few times, and slowly shook his head seriously.
