They have dealt with each other, and Jian Jia is well versed in Hannibal's way of working and resting.

Although Hannibal is mild-tempered, personable, knowledgeable, and good at chatting with people, he rarely attends parties outside of working hours, and at most has some one-on-one chats.He spends more time on reading, researching case reports, and reading literature and books that Jian Jia can't read.

Jian Jia met Hannibal in the pursuit of a criminal with schizophrenia.The other party is considerate and gentle, and knows how to grasp the distance, so he is very suitable to be a partner.

It's just that Jian Jia really doesn't like being seen too clearly, which makes her feel a little red.Uncomfortable being spied on naked.

Fortunately, both of them are adults, so when they broke up, they handled it very... er, rationally.

Well, it was just because when Jian Jia wanted to break up, she happened to be transferred to New York. She didn't dare to say it in person, and chose to leave a letter without saying goodbye.

Hannibal never said anything, and since he rarely used a mobile phone, he didn't even make a phone call.

...Probably this is the default.

Jian Jia is quite satisfied with this way of handling the relationship between adults, which makes her feel unburdened.

The text message was sent, but after a while, the other end replied.

Jian Jia was a little surprised, she thought she had to wait until the next day.

[I have time tonight, do you need me to pick you up? 】

She tapped her finger on the touch screen and quickly wrote a paragraph.

[The place where I live is a bit remote, so please send me the address directly. 】

Although Hannibal can't do anything disgusting, Jian Jia doesn't want him to see that he lives in a small and crowded low-rent apartment.Well, in front of her ex, she still hopes that she can have a bit of image.

Soon, with a beep, a text message was sent.

is the address of Hannibal.

After get off work, Jian Jia drove leisurely to Hannibal's residence.Sure enough, as imagined, the suburbs, private apartments, have well-built lawns and closed fences, beautiful and tall trees are planted on both sides of the road, the branches have been pruned, and the fallen yellow leaves are covered with walking paths.

Hannibal walked out the door. Even when he was not working, he was still wearing a white shirt, a dark brown knitted vest, and black trousers that made his legs even more slender.

He still wears glasses on the bridge of his straight nose, it seems that he was still reading half a minute ago.

"good evening."

Jian Jia brought him a box of desserts, and the cookies and macarons were just right for coffee.The first time I brought him dessert, because red wine always represented a kind of drunkenness, she had no face to take it.

At that time, Hannibal took it directly and looked very happy. Since then, Jian Jia will bring exactly the same gift every time he meets.

Through the lens, the familiar brown eyes are charming and focused, with a slight smile.

Hannibal took it.

As soon as he entered the door, he took off his glasses and put them on the cabinet.He also placed Jian Jia's gift on it, and took her to the living room.

"Would you like to take a tour?" Hannibal motioned to the room behind him.

"no need."

What is there to visit in a man's house alone, in case she sees something indescribable... She doesn't want to lose her eyesight!

Jian Jia followed to the restaurant and sat down, looked at the surrounding situation, twitched her head, and said with emotion: "You still haven't changed at all."

The habit of furnishing the room and the routine of life are not much different from before.

But after I finished I regretted it.

Jian Jia recalled the bad way of handling the breakup back then, and changed the topic a little awkwardly: "What's for dinner tonight?"

"Spaghetti with caviar, oysters, and antipasto soup. Fruit salad, no Thousand Island dressing."

Hannibal brought a glass of lemonade and put it on the dining table. The beige floral tablecloth was laid out neatly without any wrinkles. The flowers in the glass bottle were soaked in water. The unfallen crystal dewdrops.

"Thank you."

Hannibal remembered that she ate almost no meat for dinner, and no cheese.

Jian Jia rested her chin on her hands and looked at Hannibal's back. He held the knife firmly, and only heard the rhythmic sound of the knife cutting into the vegetables.

"When did you arrive in New York?"

"A month ago." Hannibal's calm and gentle voice continued with the sound of chopping vegetables, "I needed it for work, so I came here."

"That's really a coincidence..."

The stew pot was gurgling, and the aroma of the rich sauce was very attractive. Jian Jia swallowed, and suddenly felt that today was really the right time.

"Stomach is still bad?"

She froze for a moment: "Yes... I'm busy at work, you know, there will always be overtime."

Hannibal turned and walked to the side, holding a red cherry tomato with his fingertips, stretched out his hand under Jian Jia's blank gaze, and stuffed the cherry tomato into her mouth.

"Open your mouth."

"??"

The distance was too close just now, she could almost smell a faint scent of men's perfume, and Hannibal's fingertips inadvertently touched her lips, seemingly caressing them unintentionally.With a cherry tomato in her mouth, Jian Jia's dark eyes were dumbfounded.

What is this doing?

A tune from an ex-boyfriend.Affection?

Before she finished thinking, the other party had already continued as if nothing had happened.

The following dinner time is more normal.The two of them were chatting about the latest case. Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling on the ground from the next door, like a heavy object, with a "boom", and then fell silent.

Jian Jia's heart skipped a beat, she put down her fork, glanced at the aisle and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Hannibal moved calmly, without even looking at the room where there was movement, and he was not affected at all.He pursed his lips and smiled, his handsome face was blurred under the orange light, making it hard to distinguish.

Jian Jia froze in place for an instant.

There was a relaxed and joyful piano sound in her mind, and every note was so melodious as the keys jumped.Soon, the notes became lighter and lighter, and the two tones were played alternately.

The "Goldberg Variations" is Bach's most famous work, and it is also the variation with the largest scale and the most magnificent structure in the history of music.

After communicating with Sherlock, Jian Jia certainly did not forget to listen to Bach's music.

This variation is too familiar.

—So, Hannibal he!

Her complexion turned pale slightly, and she lost her composure for a moment.

Hannibal wiped his hands, and his voice was as gentle as velvet: "What's wrong?"

"I...my stomach is a little sick..."

The discomfort was real, she always felt a dull pain in her stomach.

Is it an illusion?

"I'll get you some medicine."

"No, no need."

Fortunately, Jian Jia quickly regained her composure.Criminals often use Bach music as the soundtrack, but not just using Bach music is a criminal, she can't be too reckless.

Facing those brown eyes, she lowered her eyelids slightly, pressing them uncomfortably, and took a sip of lemonade: "I never asked you what you usually do at home."

"As you can see."

"I don't seem to have asked about your hobbies? You know my preferences, but I don't know about you. For example, what kind of music do you like?" Jian Jia's voice softened. There will be a sweet appearance that I never had before.

She averted her eyes and didn't see Hannibal carefully studying her soft, white cheeks with her cat-like allure.

He replied: "I like classical music."

"Beethoven?"

"In comparison, I prefer Bach."

"!"

Jian Jia raised her head and stared at him intently: "Why? Because of Bach's large scale and complex structure?"

With her serious look, Hannibal's finger on the table lightly tapped the table.He picked up a petal and rubbed it back and forth between them, on the surface he was still that elegant and luxurious psychiatrist.

"Jane, were you interrogating me just now?"

He resembled a [-]th century oil painting, noble and handsome, but when Jian Jia met his eyes, his tone was obviously gentle, and his eyes didn't have any piercing sharpness, but it gave her a kind of The almost suffocating illusion of being tightly imprisoned.

"..."

Jian Jia's stomach suddenly had a cramping pain, and her calm mind panicked, and she looked at Hannibal in disbelief.

"What's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"

Hannibal stood up and walked over to her.Jian Jia felt cold all over, gritted her teeth and said, "What did you add to the meal!"

His eyes finally flashed a moment of coldness, although the smile on his lips was still gentle.

The two had known each other for many years, and this was the first time Jian Jia questioned him.

Here, Jian Jia stood up staggeringly, holding the gun in her hand, and when she was about to say something, the man opposite glanced at her seat with no emotion on her expression: "You're on your period."

……

……

……

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

Jian Jia first glanced at the seat in disbelief, it was already stained with red spots, and the cold cramping pain in the lower abdomen also explained the problem.

"..."

what to do?

Jian Jia really wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.

She has lived for more than 20 years, and she has never encountered such an embarrassing thing now.

... She's ashamed to see people, really.

It's really embarrassing! Help! ! qaq
