[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger

As soon as she drove the car onto Independence Avenue, Shirley felt a strong bump in the car body and serious deviation.Realizing that the front tire had blown out, she calmly held the steering wheel and straightened the car back to the original straight track. She stepped on the brake pedal repeatedly to reduce the speed of the car to a controllable state. To the side of the emergency lane.

Rolling down the car window and pulling out the car key, Shirley got out of the car and closed the car door, walked forward a few steps and squatted down to check the tire, only to find a small hole on the side after careful inspection.Frowning, she stood up and walked back, took out the repair tool from the trunk, and went back to the front wheel to squat down.

Accepting Rossi's proposal, he decided to rent out his five extra houses in the SAR. Just as the last sign was erected, Morgan, who received a call from work, drove off Independence Avenue. Shirley of the edge crouched by the front wheel.

After thinking for a while, Morgan turned the car around to the other side and stopped, got out of the car and walked behind her, asking in a calm tone, "Hello, do you need help?"

Shirley, who was so focused on loving the car, didn't notice the voice behind her. Morgan raised her hand awkwardly to caress her lower lip, and Shirley in front of her stood up when she was a little at a loss.She picked up the toolbox, looked at the front wheel again, and when she turned around, she was startled by Morgan who didn't know when to appear.

Raising her other free hand and pressing it towards her chest, Shirley took a breath amusedly, glanced at the black SUV behind her car, frowned slightly and looked at Morgan, "Sorry, Is something wrong?"

After a moment of speechlessness, Morgan quickly reacted and explained: "It's nothing, I just happened to pass by and wanted to ask if you need help."

Lowering her eyes to remember for a while, Shirley couldn't remember when Morgan appeared, so she just raised her head and smiled politely at him, "Thank you, I have already solved it."

Morgan pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows and spread her hands casually, and followed her back, "You're welcome, not to mention I didn't help much."

Shirley didn't speak, just looked at him with a sideways smile.After walking to the trunk to put down the toolbox, she took out a wet tissue and wiped her hands, then turned around and waved to Morgan who had just opened the car door, "I mean, thank you for your enthusiasm. Goodbye."

Morgan, who originally thought Shirley was prejudiced against him, felt very relieved. He turned his head to show that he didn't need to care about it, showed a big grinning smile again to say goodbye, and then drove to the headquarters.

Throwing the wet tissue into the trash can beside her, recalling Morgan's smile, Shirley felt a little familiar.But in the end, she couldn't remember where she had seen it before. She tilted her head indifferently, sat back in the driver's seat and drove to the fourth street where JJ lived.

Shirley saw JJ's big white house from a distance, she parked the car on the side of the road across the street, turned off the car key and looked at the threat who was playing football with her son Henry on the lawn inside the iron fence you.She retracted her gaze to make sure that there was no car passing by outside the door, opened the door and looked around and walked forward, but she couldn't find a suitable house after searching for a long time.

Walking back to the car resentfully, Shirley raised her eyes to look across the street, just in time to meet the scrutinizing gaze from Henry who had just picked up the ball.Seeing Henry who was almost carved out of the same mold as JJ when she was a child, Shirley pursed her lips slightly, and moved her gaze upwards to meet Will who was holding Henry up lazily with a hint of polite vigilance.

She raised the corners of her lips to comfort him, and Shirley quickly looked away and drove the car away.After going around and around, I drove the car to the seventh street, and finally found a three-story house for rent.Pulling over to the side, she got out of the car and dialed the number on the notice board, raised her hand and pointed anxiously at the white fence around it.

While the phone was busy, Shirley hung up the phone and turned around leaning on the fence to observe the surroundings carefully. After confirming that this was a perfect residence, she dialed the phone with even more anticipation, "Hello, Mr. Derek Morgan?"

Morgan, who was sitting on the plane to Miami, hung up Garcia's Pepsi phone, and after discussing the case with the team members, he received this strange call, "Yes, I am. Excuse me, who is it?"

Shirley took a step, walked along the path outside the fence to both sides of the house, looked in through the glass window, "Well, I'm Shirley Davis. I saw the rental sign you put outside the house , your house is very nice. If it is convenient for you, I would like to talk to you about the contract in detail. "

Morgan leaned back and patted the armrest of the seat, "...Sorry, where did you see the house?"

Shirley, who stepped back a few steps and looked upstairs, withdrew her gaze, was stunned when she heard his question, and quickly realized, "Seventh Street, Independence Avenue."

"Oh, I see." Morgan nodded in understanding, and explained, "But I'm currently on a business trip, so it may take some time before you want to see the house."

Shirley said in a slightly hasty tone: "Actually, I hope that if you don't have any major concerns, it's best if we can finalize the rental relationship now."

Morgan frowned in confusion, and reminded with a questioning tone: "But you haven't even seen the house."

Shirley smiled and softened her tone, "Mr. Morgan, I know that the internal structure of the house is generally similar, and I value the external environment more. The living facilities nearby are very complete, and it is not far from where I work. It's very close. Therefore, I hope that if possible, you can confirm that you can rent it to me. After all, I already know that the housing supply nearby is a bit tight, and I really don't hope there will be any changes. As for the price, we can discuss it... is it possible? ?”

Morgan slightly frowned and glanced at Rossi who was opposite, and licked his lips in puzzlement, "Okay then, I will stay for you for a while until you see the house and then decide whether you want to rent it."

Shirley smiled slightly, and walked towards her sports car, "Thank you very much."

Looking at Morgan who was a little dazed after hanging up the phone, Rossi asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's strange that a woman can't wait to confirm the contract relationship before seeing the house." Morgan held the phone with his back hand, shook his eyebrows at Rossi, and joked: "She even made me wonder if there is a house under the house. There is buried treasure."

Rossi smiled, gave Hodge a meaningful look, turned her head to look at Morgan, "Maybe she's not coming for the house, but for the owner of the house."

Morgan echoed amusedly, "Sounds a bit romantic. Unfortunately, I don't know her at all, so the chances are almost zero."

The people on the special plane looked at each other amusedly, and JJ asked, "Where is the house?"

After Morgan gave the approximate location, JJ felt a little surprised, "It's only a few blocks away from my house. After working with you for so long, I didn't know you had a house there."

Before Morgan smiled, Huo Qi raised his eyebrows and said softly: "Who made his houses spread all over the country."

A group of people couldn't help but looked at each other knowingly, while Morgan expressed his speechless hands.After the short conversation ended, they silently settled down and found another place to rest, so as to recharge their batteries for the unknown and dangerous struggle ahead.

After solving the big problem of housing, Shirley finished dinner nearby with peace of mind, and returned to the Capital Hilton Hotel in a good mood. She just changed into her home clothes when she received a call from her old friend Rick.She leisurely walked to the sofa and sat down, and greeted cheerfully, "Hey, buddy."

The brown-haired man, who is nearly 40 years old but in good condition, stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the banquet, stood on the balcony and looked at the bright neon lights of the high-rise opposite with a smile, "How are you, have you returned to Los Angeles?"

Putting down the phone and turning on the external voice, Shirley took the bottle opener and deftly opened the red wine on the coffee table, "Well, I went back and came to Washington again. What about you? Did you go back to the Charlotte headquarters?"

"No, the answer is wrong. As a professional handyman in the team, it is natural to do your duty to look after the team members before they plan to return home triumphantly." Rick turned his back against the window sill, frowning curiously, "I I thought you had figured it out and planned to return to the game."

The red wine glass brought to her lips stopped, and Shirley tilted her head casually, "Maybe it's because I haven't made enough preparations yet, I want to relax for a while."

"Okay," Rick shook his head amusedly, looked up and saw the Indy Race champion Charles approaching him, nodded and smiled at him, and quickly asked Shirley, "There will be a private celebration here in five days. Banquet, they want you there. What do you think?"

As an independent driver, Shirley pursed her lips. Although she was reluctant to participate, she didn't want to give them an impression of arrogance. She said with some reluctance, "I'll try my best to go there. Where are you? I'll book the tickets first."

Rick turned around and raised his eyebrows at Charles, who was smiling beside him, "See you, Myrmy."

Shirley hung up the phone with a helpless smile, while Charles asked Rick expectantly, "Is she coming?"

Rick took a sip of his wine and said with a smile, "Shel is very sensible. Didn't I say that she would not come?"

Charles curled his lips happily, revealing a small dimple, "She is really great, I want to know more about her."

Rick raised his hand meaningfully and patted him on the shoulder, leaving a sentence, "You must make sure not to attract reporters, or our distinguished guests will go berserk." After giving him a playful look, he returned to the lively banquet.

Shirley, who spent four nights in the hotel, still did not receive a call back from Morgan. On the fifth day, after checking out, she walked to New York Avenue and happened to walk into a gym with a good environment and facilities.After thinking about it for a while, Shirley applied for a personal card.Although I don't know how much time I can come over, but generally speaking, it is still needed.

Sliding around a few times, until the flight was approaching, the future landlord Morgan seemed to have not returned from a business trip, so Shirley went to Miami to attend the banquet as agreed with Rick.Arriving at the banquet, she greeted everyone politely one by one, and Shirley drank red wine alone.

It didn't take long for Rick and Charles, who looked like they were pulling strings, to approach her, "Look at which beauty is drinking alone?"

Shirley blinked helplessly, then turned around and looked at Rick who was serious about it, "I'm just here to rest, okay?"

Rick smiled and formally introduced Charles beside her, "This is the host of the banquet and the champion of this competition. You should find time to communicate more."

Shirley smiled politely and stretched out her hand, "I'm Shirley Davis. I've known you for a long time."

Charles shook her hand solemnly, and looked at her with shining eyes, "You are also very good, I am Charles Tyson. Thank you for coming, I hope you have a good time."

He pursed his lips plainly, and touched his glass of wine to express his gratitude.Taking a sip and smiling at him, Shirley turned her head and glanced at Rick calmly, but unexpectedly found the familiar watch on his wrist.Glancing at Charles, who obviously knew the inside story, she looked back at Rick and stated the facts, "Padek Perry, you are so generous."

Rick raised his eyebrows and said frankly, "Well, I've been with Lauren for a while."

Shirley nodded amusedly, and joked: "It's not kind, you two are hiding it from me."

Rick frowned innocently, and pretended to look around.Listening to the music sounding at the right time, he gave Charles a look, and glanced at Shirley meaningfully.He left the sentence "I have to find a temporary dance partner, you can do whatever you want", and then quickly flashed away.

Seeing Shirley shaking her head amusedly, Charles put down his wine glass, and stretched out his hand with a gentlemanly smile, "I wonder if I'll be honored to dance with you?"

Shirley, who had just learned of a happy event between her two friends, didn't dislike the music and was happy to entertain him, so she held his hand and followed him into the crowd.
