[Comprehensive] Sherlock is going to be kicked by a donkey

The first snow of this year fell in London during the Christmas season. Although it was a light snow, it was enough to surprise people. The merchants decorated their shops with Christmas decorations early. Now the whole city has entered the Christmas season. countdown.Josie stood by the window and watched Irene Adler who left downstairs. The footprints on the thin snow on the road gradually moved away until they disappeared, and then Josie closed the curtains.

She didn't know when she would see this woman again, but that didn't matter anymore, because Irene Adler's words tonight were enough to shake Josie's mind.

When Sherlock woke up, it was already the next morning. Josie was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Today was the weekend, and it was rare that she didn't have to work. She planned to go shopping with her friend Melissa after breakfast. As for Sherlock...

Josie looked up to the direction of the living room, and the person who was lying on the sofa sat up.

"Good morning, would you like a chicken and vegetable sandwich?"

"Hmm." Sherlock rubbed his temples that were still aching, and his eyes glanced at the black coat that Josie put on the back of another single-seater sofa chair - that was the black coat he gave to Irene yesterday. Dele's coat, "Did that woman come yesterday?"

Josie, who was putting the cut apples into the juicer, was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, we chatted for a while yesterday, and the person in Canada at that time was really her, but she won't know More about Adam Adrian, she just made a fair deal with them..."

"What else did you say?" Sherlock got up and picked up his coat, then took his phone out of the coat pocket.

"do not have much left."

Sherlock looked up, turning his gaze from the phone screen to the people in the kitchen, "I seem to have heard last night..."

"Hear what?" Josie suddenly looked up and interrupted Sherlock, who looked at her in surprise, "Um...I, I mean, did you hear what we said?"

"I seem to hear you guys chatting when I'm sleepy, what are you chatting about?"

"I didn't talk about anything, just some simple greetings..."

"Aha." An ambiguous moan interrupted Josie, she looked at the phone in Sherlock's hand, and Sherlock looked at the phone in his hand blankly.

"..." Josie pressed the switch of the juicer, and the sound of the blades spinning and cutting apples rang out in the small room, "Irene Adler's exclusive text message ringtone?"

Sherlock didn't answer, but clicked on the unread text message, turned off the phone after looking at it, and walked to the dining table, "I'm hungry."

"What? Don't you reply to text messages?"

"I'm hungry, Josie."

"Brush your teeth and wash your face before eating. After eating, I'm going to go shopping with Melissa. What are your plans today?" Josie brought the sandwich to the dining table, and Sherlock walked to the bathroom. "The new toothbrush towel is on the sink. in the closet."

"I'm going out for a while, where's John?"

The sound of rushing water soon came from the bathroom. Josie took an apple juice and sat down at the dining table. She supported her head and looked at Sherlock who came out after washing up while drinking the juice. Put it here and leave."

"That woman... She really didn't say anything to you?"

Sherlock's gray-blue eyes looked straight at Josie, who shook her head and lowered her eyes, "Nothing," Josie drank the last sip of juice, then stood up and walked back to the room, "I want to change clothes and go out Now, you can do whatever you want after breakfast." After she finished speaking, Sherlock only left a back view.

Two hours later, Josie was sitting by the window of the coffee shop in the shopping mall. Melissa opened the door and saw her friend at a glance. She walked to the sofa opposite Josie and sat down, "with a sad face, Did you run into any difficulties? At work? Or... because of that Sherlock again?"

"Come on," Josie handed Melissa the menu in her hand, "Although I really don't want to admit it, but yes, it is indeed because of him again."

"what happened?"

Josie looked at Melissa in front of her, who was watching her with a worried face. Melissa was her good friend since junior high school. The other party was 23 years old like her, but now she was a one-year-old child. Young hot mom, in this world, she is the only friend who can let Josie talk about her feelings, "It's hard to say, someone told me he felt the same way about me, but I still can't believe it, he's Sherlock Ah, how could he be in love..."

"No matter how powerful he is, he is still an ordinary man physically. Isn't it normal to have love? You just don't have confidence in yourself, Josie, you are very good, why don't you try to speak?"

"Melissa, you don't understand. It's not that I'm not confident. Sherlock Holmes is...a person who won't let his emotions influence his reason. He thinks that love is an extremely dangerous and unstable factor. He won't Let go of your own reason and choose love," Qiao Qian held her forehead with a downcast expression, "I don't want to destroy the current relationship, it's fine as it is now."

"Qiao Qian, you have been so ambiguous all this time, are you really not worried that you will regret it in the future and just miss it?"

Josie was stunned by Melissa's words.

Obviously knowing that there is a high possibility of being rejected, and it will even affect the relationship between the two in the future, but if you really choose not to confess, will you regret it?

Josie was struggling in her heart. Melissa's words echoed in her ears, and her hands on the table clenched into fists, "You're right, I might regret it, but..." But deep inside The familiar Sherlock in the original drama would definitely reject her, Josie lowered her head, but she couldn't tell Melissa about such a thing.

Melissa put her hand on Josie's tightly clenched fist, and comforted softly: "Don't think too complicated, Josie, if you like it, you can confess it, even if you are rejected in the end, I believe that with the cooperation between you The friendship between them will not get along too bad in the future."

God is very considerate of Josie. After that day, Josie didn't meet Sherlock again for a long time. This gave Josie some time to buffer her emotions. Know what Sherlock has been up to lately.

Christmas is coming as scheduled. This year, Josie did not go home to spend Christmas with her parents, but chose to stay in London. The hospitable Mrs. Hudson invited her to spend Christmas with her at 221B. Josie did not refuse. It's just that when she was going out, she met someone who made her a little unexpected.

"Merry Christmas, Josie."

Jared was standing on the sidewalk, where his car was parked, and greeted Josie with a smile when he saw her come out of the door.

"Merry Christmas, why are you here?" Josie was surprised.

Her words made Jared show a helpless smile, "I just came to say happy holidays to you."

He had been on a business trip in the United States during this period, and when he came back, he was already on Christmas vacation, and Josie could not be found in the office, so he drove to Baker Street before going home, and he parked the car at Josie Qian's door, but he didn't go up to knock on the door, nor did he call or send a text message to Josie, he just stood on the sidewalk and looked at the door until Josie opened the door and came out.

Even after being rejected for so long, Jared still couldn't help not caring about Josie's every move.

"Thank you," Josie also felt that her question just now was a bit hurtful, so she tried to change the subject, "Did you just come back from the United States? How is the work there?"

"Very well, everything is going well...you are beautiful tonight, are you going on a date? With little Mr. Holmes?"

It is rare for Josie to not wear a professional suit, but a dark red A-line skirt with a white coat over it. She has long golden hair, curls, and exquisite makeup. No wonder she is mistaken for a date. .

"No, it's not, we're not together yet."

Jared was a little surprised, "I thought you would confess to him after that day, which made me jealous of him for so long."

Josie shook her head, "Today is Christmas Eve, don't you go home for the holiday?"

Josie's topic changed abruptly, and Jared didn't want to ask any more questions, so he responded cooperatively: "I'm coming back, I just want to see you, and I'll go back after seeing you... Then I'll go first."

"Goodbye."

Jared turned and walked towards the car, but stopped after taking two steps. He looked back at Josie who was still standing there, "Can you give me a hug, Josie? Just pretend I'm cheeky." Asking for your Christmas present."

Josie froze for a moment, then nodded, and said with a smile, "Of course it's no problem," she said, walking forward and giving Jared a hug, "Merry Christmas, my dear friend."

"Thank you."

Josie stood on the side of the road and watched Jared drive away in the car. She knew that this hug was the end for Jared. Maybe he really made up his mind to forget his feelings for her from now on.

Josie wrapped her coat tightly, and the dark red skirt fluttered gently in the night wind with fine snowflakes. She turned her head and looked up at the window on the second floor of 221B. Warm yellow light shone through the glass window. Josie could even hear the violin playing from there.

That's Sherlock playing the violin.

Josie has listened to La’s song countless times, but she still likes it very much. Josie remembered that when she was a child, the two families would get together every Christmas. After Christmas dinner, Mrs. Holmes would ask Sherlock to give everyone Performing the violin, at that time Sherlock was still a tsundere young lady, always reluctant at the beginning, but every time the song was finished and received praise from everyone, the young Sherlock always secretly remembered proud.

Others may not be able to see it, but Josie can hear it.

At that time, Sherlock was not the man who experienced a lot now. At that time, Sherlock was still a little boy immersed in the knowledge he loved. Those who care don't care obviously. The most important thing is that Sherlock and Josie at that time are still friends who talk about everything, and they have the cleanest and most beautiful friendship.

The store across the street played Christmas songs. Josie walked towards the door of 221B. The door was not closed, so she opened it directly and went up to the second floor.

The first person to see her was Mrs. Hudson, who enthusiastically invited Josie to sit beside her.

"It's a pity that you didn't come just now. Sherlock played the violin just now. It sounds so good."

Sherlock put down the violin and sat down, "She has been listening to it for more than twenty years."

Josie was noncommittal, just smiled and said to Mrs. Hudson: "Is there anything to eat? I'm very hungry now."

"Oh, of course, of course, you come with me, I'll get you the delicious food I just made today." Mrs. Hudson said as she took Josie's hand and led her downstairs.

Mrs. Hudson was talking vigorously while Josie was eating. Josie was simply coping with it while listening to the voices upstairs. After a while, she heard the sound of Sherlock running downstairs and pushing the door. He also has Molly, and Mrs. Hudson poked her head out and muttered doubtfully when she heard the voice, "Why did Sherlock and Molly go out?"

"I'm full, Mrs. Hudson, let's go up."

Josie put down the food in her hand, she looked at the closed door after Sherlock went out, she knew why he went out in such a hurry on Christmas Eve.

Maybe she should believe Melissa's words, and she should give it a try, even if it's not to leave regrets for her future self.
