[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger

The car had unknowingly driven into an empty, abandoned factory outside the suburbs. Shirley slowed down and circled along the outer iron fence.When approaching the corner, she increased the speed of the car slightly higher than the normal cornering speed, slowed down and turned the steering wheel to enter the corner early.

The situation at this moment is dangerous to a driver who is proficient in drifting skills, but she can't help but think about whether she loves or hates in her heart.In an instant, the car body had passed the apex of the bend, and she accelerated suddenly so that the rear wheels suddenly lost a small amount of grip. After feeling the lateral movement of the rear of the car, she quickly turned the steering wheel to the right.

Lucas, who was sitting in the co-pilot on the right, was thrown dizzily and couldn't help whimpering.After Shirley, who was not wearing a seat belt, tried her best to control her body balance, she still inevitably slammed into the left car door heavily.

This was just a small drift, and a puff of white smoke rose from the rear of the car and quickly dissipated.But the pain that was rising from the left half of her body was spreading in all directions. She bent over and unfastened the seat belt on Lucas, holding him in her arms.

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, he drove the car out and parked it outside the factory gate.She choked her throat and called Beth, "What's wrong with him?"

Beth found out about this news not long after she left, but she only delayed to tell her now because it was not the right time.And at this moment, hearing her calm voice that was not mixed with unwillingness, it was clear that she had probably guessed it probably, "He died in a car accident 17 years ago because of drunk driving. I pulled out the file at that time and confirmed After an accident . . . your mother and sister moved from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh."

Shirley didn't answer, wondering if there was both love and hate, and which one was more and which was less.Suddenly feeling at a loss, and then heard Beth's concerned voice, "Shel..."

Beth hadn't finished her words, and maybe she didn't have to finish her words, when she heard her say in a low voice: "Everyone is going to die."

She wanted to say "I'm fine", but she didn't want to lie to herself. Beth frowned slightly and blinked quickly, "Fasten your seat belt."

"Good night." Shirley said softly, put away her mobile phone, got out of the car and tied Lucas to the left side of the factory gate.I got into the car alone, drove forward for a certain distance, turned the car around 180 degrees on the spot, and raised my hand to fasten the seat belt.

Concentrate on passing through the factory gate, turn into the open space on the left, and make two consecutive 360-degree drifts to the right.Still holding the steering wheel tightly, she walked along the right outer iron net to the corner, drifted laterally to the right to the corner of the left outer iron net, and made another right lateral drift. After drifting 270 degrees back to the original place and reducing the occupied area, the car turned to the right after four 360-degree drifts from left to right, and parked the car parallel to the factory gate after a small lateral drift to the left.

The whole car was suddenly submerged in a cloud of white mist. The dazed Xue Li took out a cigarette from the cigarette case in the storage box, put on the lighter and staggered out of the smoky sports car.

Walking to the trash can a little further away, she lit a cigarette and put it in her mouth, took a slow puff and then moved her hand away.The circle of cloud and mist that she spit out gradually made her originally chaotic thoughts gradually clear, and the past slowly came to her mind uninvited.

Sitting on a bench in the park, she is earnestly tying the scattered wildflowers she picked up casually into a bunch with another flower stem with four-petal flowers.The man beside her looked at her focused and joyful expression, and asked, "You like it very much?"

She stopped, turned her head and smiled at him, nodded heavily, "I'm going to put it on my desk."

Staring blankly at her self-sufficient expression, he couldn't help but sighed secretly, "Didn't you just buy several white roses yesterday, why didn't you keep some of them in your room? You don't like that kind of flowers?"

She glanced at him with a smile, "No, I like it. But Jill likes the packaging in the flower shop, and I don't like it anyway, so give it to her."

Being used to seeing similar things, he couldn't help but sighed heavily, "Rosa, you're only eight years old, why do I always think you're almost too late?"

She put down the arranged flowers, and looked at him with her eyes bent into crescent moons, "Do I look that old?"

He waved his hand helplessly, "Of course not y. I just think you're still a child, it doesn't matter if you are self-willed, you don't have to spoil Jenny all the time."

"Aha? Do you think I'm obedient?" She smiled suspiciously, frowned and thought for a while, "But compared to the beautifully packaged flowers in the store, I really just prefer simple tied flowers That's all."

He raised his eyebrows in disapproval, "But you can obviously save money and buy yourself some flowers, why do you have to pick up the fallen flowers?"

She found it hard to understand his question, and she didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it and smiled, "But the problem is... I think it's fun to do it myself."

Seeing her take it for granted, he raised his hand and patted his head annoyed, "Oh my God! This is even worse, your neglect of yourself has already been ingrained in your bones!"

Seeing his appearance, she blinked amusedly, "Daddy, your thinking is so strange."

He put down his hand, took her hand, and said to her solemnly: "Rosa, I just want you to know. Yes, you are the eldest daughter in the family. But you are still a child, you don't have to take care of everyone, you You need to be more self-important. Think more about yourself and do what makes you happy."

"Okay..." Seeing his serious look, she was embarrassed and silent for a moment, but she couldn't help explaining with a smile, "I didn't expect you to think this way. But the fact is that I am doing things according to my own will." , rather than accommodating you wholeheartedly."

Seeing his unbelievable expression, she thought it would be better to show her attitude, "Actually, I'm not that tolerant, it's just because the principle is rather strange, so you rarely have the chance to provoke me."

He still had some doubts, "For example?"

She raised her eyebrows, "I have to grab the passenger seat every time. Once Jill tried to grab me, but I was so scared that I had to go to the back row."

He asked suspiciously, "Why are you so scared?"

She replied with a smirk: "I made up a ghost story about the passenger seat, and she almost cried because of me."

Imagining that scene, he couldn't help laughing happily, "No wonder she didn't mention it, she must be afraid that we would laugh at her for being timid... what else?"

She pursed her lips in embarrassment, and finally said fiercely, "She brought back a love letter for Brother Wanesang's box of biscuits. I scolded her and warned her that if she did this again, she would definitely Beat her up."

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled unimaginably, and said with a measured tone: "Okay... this sounds a bit serious, but why didn't she mention it?"

She smiled and shook her head, "Because I blocked her mouth with those white roses."

"Okay, okay, so there are so many little secrets between you that my mother and I don't know." He laughed a few times, and hugged her in his arms, "It sounds like you always seem to be a little smart It's a trick, but it's okay, this is the behavior you should have at your age."

She poked her head out of his arms and joked with a smile, "Oh Daddy! Jill is also your daughter, you know how happy you are when you know she's being bullied!"

"Haha, I didn't. I just thought that no one could stop this mischievous bully. Now that I know she is not so lawless, I just feel a little relieved!" He let go of his long-standing worries, and his eyes almost smiled She had to squint into a line, and then couldn't help feeling a little emotional, "But you really love her."

She nodded in his arms, looking up at the sunset in the sky, "I always think of when Jill was still in my mother's womb, I must always stand aside and listen to her movements, it makes me feel like she It’s always been the feeling I’ve watched growing up.”

He laughed and patted her on the back, shaking her body lightly, "Haha, you did that..."

She nodded in satisfaction, raised her hand to cover her eyes, and looked at the fading sunlight through her fingers, "I have a really good memory. It seems that I have been very smart since I was a child."

"Of course." He bit his lips, feeling a trace of sadness in his heart for no reason.He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, muttering softly, "Time is so fast, you have grown up in a blink of an eye, Dad really hopes that you will always be so carefree..."

The soot fell on the back of her hand, and the pain of the short-term burn brought Shirley back to her senses.She put down her hands and dusted off the cigarette ash, then turned her back to the light.After taking a sharp puff, the long stream of smoke exhaled made the eyes dry.She raised her left hand that was propped on the edge of the trash can, took the cigarette butt between her right fingers and pressed it into the empty ashtray on the trash can.

She walked two steps forward silently, with mixed feelings for a while, but she still knelt down weakly after all.Bury your head deep in your arms, let the tears come out of your eyes...

It was four o'clock in the morning when we got home, Shirley slept until twelve o'clock at noon, and was woken up by Beth's phone call.Let the other party be sure that his emotions have stabilized, chatted with her for a few words, and immediately after hanging up the phone, he received a text message from Morgan, "I may not be in Washington during this time... Let me know in advance, in case you can't find me. I."

Xue Li looked back and forth with her mobile phone for a long time, recalling her words and deeds yesterday, she couldn't help but smack her lips.He turned over and fell on the bed, and raised his head from under the quilt after a while.She looked at her phone and replied to the text message carefully.

Considering her abnormal emotional changes last night, after Morgan received the case and learned that she was going to Philadelphia, after careful consideration, she still felt that it was necessary to support her, lest there be any non-human factors in the middle that would prevent her from being able to contact herself.Sitting on the plane at this moment, she has not received a reply for a long time, and was worrying about whether something bad happened to her yesterday, when she heard a text message ringing on her mobile phone.

He picked up the phone quickly, and couldn't help but smile knowingly after seeing the content of the text message, "I'm sorry there are always some bad guys￣︿￣" ruining your vacation. "

Focusing on replying to the text message, Morgan didn't notice that his series of actions had been watched by Rossi on the opposite side.The other party glanced left and right, causing Hodge and Rhett to look at him subconsciously.And JJ and Emily, after noticing the similar expressions of the three of them, turned their heads to look at him next door.

Standing by the sink in the bathroom on the second floor and brushing her teeth, Shirley turned over her phone after hearing the text message.Seeing the expression above, I accidentally laughed so hard that I sprayed out the toothpaste foam, "One and a half days of happy vacation is enough for me" ￣▽￣, and it's time to catch the bad guys. "

Wiping the screen of the phone with his thumb repeatedly, Morgan stopped when he saw the phone turned on, and pursed his lips at the text message, "Everything is going well, waiting for your call."

Replying "Yes", Morgan licked his lips and wiped the phone screen a few times.Quickly put away the phone, and only noticed a pair of eyes when he looked up.He pulled his mouth and bulged his eyes in puzzlement, and saw the four people except Que Reid quickly look away.

Quickly realizing what they were thinking, Morgan smiled and shook his head with nothing to say.When I looked back at Rhett, I saw that he seemed to be about to speak, so he leaned back first, closed his eyes, "I didn't sleep well last night, I'll take a rest first."

Rhett sewed his mouth knowingly, his eyes lit up, and he frowned. There was only one problem left in his high-speed brain.
