Try again, fail again, fail better.

Spencer Reid looked at her in surprise, his eyebrows frowned habitually.He looked at the girl sitting across from him, and a trace of doubt floated in his heart.At this time, a gust of wind blew by, and the hair from Liu Fanxu's temples flew up and across her pale cheeks, and an impulse arose in Spencer Reed's heart. To pin them behind her ears for her, as if he had done this action many times before.However, his excellent memory told him that he had never seen this girl before, so why, why did he feel familiar with her in his heart.

He lowered his eyes in thought, but he couldn't figure out the reason. He looked up at her again, only to see that she was always smiling and staring at him intently, as if he was her whole world.This heavy and suffocating feeling made him lower his eyelashes subconsciously, he pursed his lips, and replied with some anxiety, "Okay."

Although both of them seemed to be preoccupied, they were relentless when they actually played chess.Because they are all geniuses with outstanding mental calculations, their kung fu evolved into a fast chess match in a short while, and more and more spectators watched their group.

Because of their rhythm, the result came out quickly, and Liu Fanxu narrowly won by a small margin.This immediately caused an exclamation from the crowd, because Spencer Reed had never lost here, although he always lost to Gordon when he was at bau.He didn't pay much attention to the result, so he didn't pay much attention to losing this round, but he was amazed that he could still meet an opponent who was equal to him here, and an emotion called joy arose in his heart for no reason. It was like the comfort he felt on the phone with Maeve every week, with a little bit of contentment and the joy of being understood.

Geniuses are always lonely. They are always subconsciously looking for companions, hoping that someone can walk into their world, and Spencer Reed is no exception.So, after tidying up the chessboard, he faced Liu Fanxu squarely and introduced himself, "My name is Spencer Red, what's your name?"

The faint smile on Liu Fanxu's face gradually disappeared. She raised her head to look directly at Spencer, looked at his face seriously, and traced his facial features bit by bit. After a while, a bright smile suddenly bloomed on her face. With a smile, she said with crooked eyebrows, "My name is Liu Fanxu. Spencer, can I call you Spencer?"

"Of course, as long as you want," Spencer Reid nodded, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, he raised the corners of his lips happily, and lowered his eyelids again.Liu Fanxu glanced at a space-related professional book on the table next to him, her expression was suffocated, a trace of complexity flashed across her face quickly, she moved her lips, and said in a low voice, "Hey, are you here?" Do you study space theory?"

"..." Spencer Reid glanced at the professional book he was reading at hand, nodded and replied, "Yes, I am suddenly interested in this during this time. You are also Research?" Liu Fanxu smiled, she knew he would ask this, because she added some hints to his rhetorical question just now, she knew he could hear it, she nodded and replied, "Yes, In fact, I always like to read some dry professional books, I know it will make me look boring."

"No, that's good," Spencer Reid retorted immediately, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, the kind of excitement of finding a mate, he raised the corners of his lips and continued, "It's nice to see you today , do you usually come here?"

"Yes, I live nearby, how about you?" Liu Fanxu asked back with a smile, she needs to confirm his address, since he still appears here, he should still live nearby.Sure enough, after hearing her question, he raised his hand and waved, "I also live near here, it's unbelievable that we just met now, I mean I've actually lived here for several years, and I'm very familiar with the people around me." Residents are basically familiar."

"I think it has something to do with my profession. I travel a lot, and when I'm not working, I always stay at home and read books, so I rarely come out." Liu Fanxu shrugged indifferently. She looked around and gradually The dispersed crowd smiled and continued, "If it wasn't for a sudden whim today and I wanted to go out for a stroll, I wouldn't have come here."

"May I have your cell phone number?" Spencer Reed looked at Liu Fanxu and asked nervously, "I mean, so that we can make an appointment to play chess together in the future, you know, my work is always It's a business trip."

"This is great, a great proposal!" Liu Fanxu was pleasantly surprised. She never thought it would go so smoothly. You must know that Spencer Reid is no longer the silly kid who just walked out of school. He is more cautious and sharp , Will not rashly accept the closeness of strangers who appear suddenly.She had already prepared for a long-term war of resistance, but she didn't expect to be able to exchange contact information with him now.

While talking, the two had already placed chess pieces on the chessboard. When the game started again, the two tacitly did not choose to play fast chess, but relatively slowly while chatting and laying out the layout.Compared with the situation on the chess game, the two were more interested in what they were talking about.Whether it is mathematics or chemistry, whether it is philosophy or literature, whether it is medicine or engineering, whether it is boring or unpopular, there seems to be endless topics between the two of them, one after another.Often, the other party can quickly understand what he means just after saying the beginning here. This kind of tacit understanding that seems to have known each other for many years and is so close that there is no distance makes Spencer Red feel at a loss and at the same time deeply infatuated.

No one wanted to stop, they kept chatting and discussing, as if they would keep talking as long as no one disturbed them.But it was just a beautiful daydream, because Spencer's cell phone rang to interrupt their conversation.He frowned and took it out of his pocket for a look, then he raised his head to look at Liu Fanxu again, with an apology on his face, he said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I have to go first."

She knew very well in her heart that this was an urgent summons from Bau, but she couldn't say hello to him like in the past, she could only forcefully smile and pretend not to know, nodded, and said goodbye regretfully, "Goodbye, Spencer." She couldn't take her eyes off Watching Spencer Reed pick up his messenger bag, take a few steps outside but stop suddenly, he turned to look at Liu Fanxu, with a look of anxiety mixed in, he looked into Liu Fanxu's eyes and asked in a low voice , "I can contact you again, right?"

"..." Liu Fanxu met his clear eyes and suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.After getting the answer, Spencer Reid breathed a sigh of relief, raised the corners of his lips, and strode away with lighter steps.She looked at his back until he disappeared, then slowly lowered her eyelashes, the bright smile on her face gradually faded until it disappeared, mist appeared in her eyes, and she was so sad that she couldn't add any more. She raised her hand and twirled the ring on her ring finger, Think of their conversation just now.

......

"Huh? You mean this ring?" Spencer Reid raised his hand to gesture for the ring on his ring finger, and explained with some embarrassment, "I'm not married. As for why I wear this, I don't remember Since when did I have this in my hand, and I got used to it after so many years, so I never took it off."

......

"Really, it seems to be the same style. Have you been inexplicably unwilling to take it off? It's so strange, me too." Spencer Reed leaned over to look at the ring on her ring finger, and then stretched out his hand Compared with hers, there was curiosity and surprise on his face.

......

"Don't you want to take it off?" Liu Fanxu finally showed a light smile on his face full of melancholy, she blinked her moist eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's not too bad, is it?"

After sitting at the chess table for a long time, Liu Fanxu stood up and walked home absent-mindedly.When she lay down on the sand, her expression was already full of exhaustion. She raised her arms to cover her eyes, and a tear slowly slid down the corner of her eyes until it disappeared into the hair on her temples.She just lay there, motionless, until the sun went down, the street lights came on, and the room became dark. Liu Fanxu still didn't move, she seemed to be asleep, and the quietness made people feel depressed.

After a long time, the night was getting dark, and it must have been past morning. Liu Fanxu, who was lying on the sofa maintaining a posture, suddenly let go of the arm that was pressing on the brow bone.She raised the wrist of the other hand and looked at the task bracelet attached to her wrist through the night with complicated eyes.She was silent for a while, and finally exhaled heavily.

When Spencer Reid walked into Bau's office, the confused expression on his face still hadn't faded away, and there was always a doubt in his heart, which was the doubt that was very familiar with Liu Fanxu, as if he and her had known each other for a long time, But he didn't remember the worry and hesitation at all.He didn't understand what this meant, he thought that he had a crush on Maeve, after all, she was the most congenial girl he had met in the past 30 years, but now after getting along with Liu Fanxu just now, he Suddenly unsure.

"Hey, Rhett, why are you standing here in a daze? Hurry up and gather in the meeting room." Morgan walked up to him, put his arms around his shoulders, and led him forward. He glanced sideways at Rhett's face, He continued casually, "If you need to chat with me, I'm always available."

"Thank you, Morgan." Spencer Reed grinned, although the smile was a bit forced, but at least he was no longer immersed in the feeling that made him unable to speak.He let out a sigh of relief, and decided to temporarily put these troubles aside, and solve the murder case at hand first.

Liu Fanxu sat up from the sofa, closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, then exhaled heavily.She stood up and walked to the closet, picked out a conservative long dress, and waited until she was fully dressed before looking at her wrist again.Just for a moment, time seemed to become heavy, gradually being slowed down, and Liu Fanxu had disappeared from this apartment at this time.

When she reappeared in a certain world, she was standing in the middle of an asphalt road, the old rules, no identity and no reminder, to put it bluntly, she was a black household who suddenly appeared in this world.Liu Fanxu raised his head and glanced at the dark night sky, feeling a little fortunate that it was the dead of night at this moment, otherwise her strange appearance would definitely cause panic.She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, thinking of a similar situation she had encountered before, her head ached.

Shaking off the memories of the cruel past, Liu Fanxu walked slowly onto the sidewalk, thinking about what to do next.Looking at the shop windows on both sides of the street through the dim lights on the side of the road, I can be sure that this is Japan, and then I can be sure that it is the early 21st century.Liu Fanxu took out a document from his backpack, which happened to be at this point in time. Fortunately, the information is not inflated now, and the network is not completely interoperable. Her transnational identity can be used.
