[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger

Sure enough, as Morgan expected, jj, who had put away his bad mood, kindly invited the whole group to her house the next day. Fortunately, there was no case that required their assistance until the afternoon's work was finished.Except for Huo Qi who had to go home to pick up Jack, the other five followed JJ back home with their carefully prepared gifts.

As for Shirley, who had already changed her clothes, she was still standing in an empty room on the third floor, hesitantly facing the big blackboard covered with photos of jj on the wall.She looked away, took a few tangled steps back and forth, and finally stood in front of the blackboard, took off all the photos on it and put them in a spare storage box.

Clapping her hands and exhaling, she seemed to be much more relaxed, and went downstairs to take the gift for Henry and go out.She didn't drive, she was walking on the quiet street, and she still felt a little nervous about taking advantage of this short period of time.

Turn another corner forward and walk a short distance to jj's house.Shirley had almost calmed down her nervousness, and she hadn't taken a few steps at a quicker pace when the gift bag in her hand was snatched away by a man in black clothes and black hat who was speeding past, "Oh my God!"

Shirley runs fast, even in high heels.But when she was about to catch up, the other party dropped the gift bag, so she stopped catching up and squatted down to pick up things on the ground.

But Huo Qi, who had just driven to jj's house and didn't see the scene of snatching items, led Jack out of the car, enthusiastically helped pick up the whole set of robot assembly models on the ground, and handed them over to the snowboard who was annoyed to check the model airplane in the box. Li approached, "Ma'am, and this."

After confirming that the model plane was not broken, Shirley took the packing box from him, raised her head slightly and smiled at him, "Thank you."

Before Huo Qi opened his mouth, Jack looked at the model plane put aside by Shirley in surprise, "It's so cool!"

"If you like it, your dad will be happy to buy it for you," Shirley, who followed the voice and saw Jack, smiled at him, put both gifts into gift bags, stood up, and then looked at Hodge's face, "Is that right?"

Hodge showed a gentle smile on his usual serious face, and turned his eyes to Jack beside him, "Do you want it?"

"Really?" Seeing his affirmative nod, Jack happily raised his hand to give him a high five.And Shirley couldn't help pursing her lips when she saw such a scene, and looked up at Huo Qi, who she thought was always serious but would have another gentle face in front of the child, and naturally thought of her father.

Hodge looked at her, "Excuse me, would you mind showing me the model number?"

Shirley nodded in agreement, and after taking out the model airplane from the bag and handing it to Hodge, she couldn't help but frowned and looked around searchingly, and heard Hodge who put away the pen and paper asking, "Is there anything missing?"

"Hmm..." The music greeting card I made for Henry was gone, and there was a bunch of birthday flowers drawn by her on it.Shirley looked away and smiled at Huo Qi, "It's okay, it's just a birthday card."

Hearing what she said, Hodge looked at her carefully.After thinking about it, I vaguely remembered something.Seeing that she also had an expression that impressed her, she asked, "Have we met before?"

Shirley smiled and nodded and held out her hand, "Shirley Davis, I'm Derek's friend."

Huo Qi shook her hand, and hooked the corners of his lips without even noticing, "Alan Hozner."

Shirley moved a few steps to the right, vacating Jack's place, looked down at the small gift bag in his hand, smiled and walked forward side by side with the father and son, "So you are also going to Henry's house to help him celebrate Birthday?"

Hodge nodded, Jack said yes, Shirley smiled, "The relationship between your colleagues is so good, it's like a family."

Hodge raised his eyebrows, "We are indeed a family."

Shirley nodded and smiled, and looked back at the road ahead.Originally, he was worried about whether he would be seen by a group of fbi elites at once, but at this moment he met Hodge, who seemed to be the most difficult to get along with, and was dispelled.

More and more relieved, they soon came to jj's house.She was ready to see JJ as soon as she opened the door, but the first thing she saw was another blonde woman with a smile on her face, "You must be Miss Davis! I heard Morgan say a lot about you. "

Smiling suspiciously, Shirley turned her head and saw Morgan standing on the right side with Henry.Before she could respond any more, Garcia enthusiastically pulled her in and introduced the other team members one by one, "This is David Rossi, I heard you already know that he is an Italian food expert ...This is Spencer Reid, he should be more handsome in person than in the photo, right? This is Emily Prentiss, I think you should have some understanding of each other..."

Shirley shook hands with them one by one with a smile, and was led by Garcia to turn around and look at Hodge, listening to her speculative tone, "You seem to have met?"

Seeing Huo Qi smiling and nodding, Garcia brought Shirley to face him.She was serious and smiling, and when she was about to emphasize herself, Shirley spoke first, "Well, I think you must be Penelope Garcia, the unparalleled cosmic super beauty in someone's heart..."

After hearing her words, Garcia glanced at the others in surprise, "Oh, she knows me..."

"Of course, I've been looking forward to seeing you..." Seeing her look away, she opened her arms to herself happily.Shirley stepped forward to hug her, and smiled knowingly at Morgan, who had been standing by Henry and watching.

As soon as she let go of Garcia's embrace, Shirley, who had been smiling all the time, heard a familiar cheerful female voice mixed with footsteps on the left, "Hey, don't forget me, and me!"

Her heart sank unavoidably for an instant, and Xue Li quickly calmed down.Turning around to look at JJ with a smile on his face, reaching out to hold her, and listening to her say: "I'm Jennifer Jieruo, Henry often mentions you to me. I'm glad to finally meet you."

"Yeah, me too." Xue Li smiled with her lips parted, quickly retracted her hand and raised it casually in the air, praising: "The necklace is pretty."

JJ put back his smile, looked down at the necklace with a smile on his head, and when he looked up at her again, his smile was still as bright as before, "Thank you."

There was no more to add, Shirley felt that the smile on her face was burning like the scorching sun.Pursing his lips, he looked around at the others politely, then walked to the little birthday boy Henry and bent down, handing him the gift bag he had been carrying all along, "Happy birthday~!"

"Thank you~" Henry happily took the gift bag, gave Shirley a big hug, and then asked Jack to play on the sofa together.And Shirley got up and stood beside Morgan, looking at the laughing people in the living room with him with a smile on his face.

Shirley turned her head to look at him, straightened her face and smiled and said, "Thank you."

Morgan smiled, went to the tea table and poured two glasses of white wine, then returned to her side and handed her a glass, "Thank me for what?"

Shirley took the wine and raised her eyebrows, "Introduce your friends to me."

Morgan stuffed one hand into his trouser pocket, clinked a wine glass with her in the other, pretending to be ignorant, "It's not because of me, it's because you seem too friendly."

Xue Li didn't say anything more, she shook her head amusedly, pursed her lips and took a sip of the wine.Feeling a light touch on his right arm, he turned his head and saw him approaching his left cheek with a playful smile, "If you don't believe me, I'd be very happy if you gave me a thankful kiss."

Xue Li couldn't help laughing, raised her hand to push his face away, and said lightly, "Slick tongue..."

Morgan smiled, looked away and saw Emily beckoning to Shirley, pointing sideways in their direction and said to her: "Okay, some new friends over there seem to expect you to join them and start a fun game game."

Shirley looked in the direction he was pointing at, waved to them, smiled and looked back at Morgan before walking forward.After walking a few steps, he stopped and looked sideways at him, "But if you are interested, I can drive you for a ride."

Morgan shook his head happily, "Okay, I'm quite looking forward to that exciting feeling."

Shirley walked away with a smile, and then Rossi stood beside Morgan and joked to herself: "It seems that my intuition is getting worse and worse after being divorced three times."

Morgan raised his eyebrows, and he was naturally very clear about the meaning of his words.Clinked glasses with him sideways, took a sip of wine, "Intuition is inherently illusory, at least your observation skills are still very good, Rossi."

Rosie smiled, removing the glass from her lips.After taking a few glances at Shirley, who was quickly mingling with the people around her, she turned her head and looked back at Morgan, who was watching them with great interest, and tentatively said, "She looks pretty good, and you get along well, don't you want to take a chance?"

Morgan withdrew his gaze and showed a smile with a feeling of not being in love with the world of mortals. "Love is like intuition, and it is also an illusory and fleeting thing. It is unpredictable. It is difficult to find the reason when it comes, but it is thorough when it goes. It is not as important as friendship." Friendship lasts forever."

"Any kind of emotion in this world is hard to understand if you want to get to the bottom of it, Derek..." In Rossi's view, although his words are a bit arbitrary, he still has some feelings in some aspects, " It's just that love is too pure and can only have two extremes. When it comes, it can blow you away like a spring breeze, but when it leaves, it can leave only a biting chill like a cold wind..."

Listening to his emotional description, Morgan turned sideways and smiled at him winkingly, "Sounds like a poet!"

Rossi raised her eyebrows and smiled in satisfaction, then thought of his overly pessimistic attitude, "Obviously, love requires an adventurous spirit. You can't refuse to enjoy the process just because you're worried about the outcome."

"I understand what you're saying." Morgan smiled reassuringly, and took a few steps forward to look back at him. "But this is just my current thinking. Maybe someone's appearance one day will change everything?"

Rossi nodded in agreement, looked at him who had walked a few steps forward and raised his hand to raise his wine glass, and subconsciously looked forward to see the smiling Shirley who acted like him.I said to myself for no reason, "Maybe that person is in front of you", and I couldn't help smacking my lips after realizing it, thinking that it's enough to gossip like this at my age.
