[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger

When she came back to her senses, the person in front of her was still looking at her quietly, Shirley smiled and nodded, repeating, "...just talking."

Morgan pursed her lips, didn't ask any more questions, put away her smiling face and asked, "Did you often do this before?"

Shirley looked up and thought seriously, and after a while she turned her smiling eyes to look at him, "It's not often...just occasionally, I'm tolerant without principles in some things."

Seeing her tangled expression that seemed to be a little self-disgusting, Morgan couldn't help but smiled and speculated jokingly: "...So did you leave the police station voluntarily or were you actually kicked out? Haha ..."

"That's not true! Such cases are very rare, and no matter whether I succeed or not, I will always bring back the prisoner?" Shirley raised her fist in feigned anger and lightly tapped his shoulder, seeing that he still had a serious look on her face. With a happy look, he retracted his hand funny and explained, "Actually, it's because sometimes I may have no reason..."

Seeing that she retracted the words she was about to blurt out, Morgan gradually put away her smile and looked at her earnestly, "What will happen?"

Shirley lowered her gaze and shook her head helplessly, "Crazy, angry...that kind of emotion. I originally wanted to help Beth, but sometimes it was easy to cause trouble for her, so I felt that I had better leave Better."

Seeing her downcast look, Morgan didn't go into the details, but just raised his hand to caress her back, and comforted her: "I'm sure your sister never blamed you, on the contrary, she will definitely regard you as a capable partner. You And indeed a fair police officer."

After hearing what he said, Shirley quickly raised her head and smiled, and asked tentatively, "Since I'm so nice, do you still want me as a dishonest friend?"

"Of course..." Morgan took a few steps forward funny, took her close to his arms, leaned close to her forehead and kissed her hard, put down his hand and looked at her with a playful smile, "I'll stamp you, your name For - Derek Morgan's most dishonest friend."

Shirley imitated the best expressions of their group and pretended to be innocent, then couldn't help laughing, and then saw him stop laughing and reminded, "But don't do that again, it's too dangerous."

"Understood! Boss Morgan!" Shirley nodded in agreement, solemnly raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder.Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, he smiled and asked, "Does the boss have any orders?"

Morgan raised his eyebrows with a smile, then couldn't help lowering his head, his voice sounded apologetic, "I'm sorry that I didn't firmly believe in you."

Shirley smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, I know you should have an objective position."

Naturally, Morgan would not compare herself with the other two, just swayed and looked up at her, still saying with a self-condemning tone: "But as your friend, I think at least I should choose to believe you, just like jj would love to believe you like that... so no matter what reasonable explanation I can find, I still owe you an apology."

After hearing what he said, Shirley unconsciously looked away at the busy jj in the conference room, and her mood did not fluctuate like the previous two times.After all, while convincing others, she reminded herself of the reason why she came back, "Hmm..."

Looking away, the person in front of her still looked at her apologetically.Xue Li quickly collected her emotions, and patted his arm pretending to be serious, "What's the use of being sorry? Why don't you owe me a big meal!"

"Haha..." Morgan couldn't help being amused by her expression, and readily agreed, "How can one meal be enough? At least ten or one hundred meals!"

Xue Li's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and the sense of sleepiness was swept away. She raised her eyebrows with a smirk and said, "You must count your words!"

Morgan raised his eyebrows with a lavish face, expressing no pressure.Shirley, on the other hand, smiled and looked away, and found Beth who was standing beside Huo Qi not far away.

Beth caught sight of Shirley and raised her chin.After saying something to Huo Qi, he walked back, looked at the two of them back and forth with the corners of his lips hooked, and finally turned his eyes to Xue Li, "Going back?"

Shirley nodded, looked back at Huo Qi, and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? Why do I feel that Huo Qi doesn't look very good?"

"It's nothing." Beth looked at Hodge who had turned around as if nothing had happened, shrugged her shoulders and shook her head, glanced at Morgan and turned away first.Shirley, on the other hand, smiled and waved to Morgan, turned around and ran to catch up with Beth, grabbed her arm and walked away.

Looking at Shirley's appearance, Morgan couldn't help thinking of the scene where she was pulling her like that that day, and an inexplicable warmth surged in his heart.But before he could think about it, when he turned around, he saw jj's lonely eyes looking behind him in the conference room.

Shaking his head helplessly, he sank his heart and walked towards the meeting room.But Shirley's face was not very good-looking, in fact, Huo Qi, whose chest was blocked by Beth's words, just got better in the tea room, and when he was about to go back to the meeting room, he received a call from Garcia.

"Hozy..." The other party's voice was obviously a little flustered, "I, I accidentally discovered something related to Sister Shirley... a big thing, I'm not sure whether I should tell you..."

"What?" Hodge raised his hand and rubbed his temples, he really wasn't interested in anything big or small related to Beth, who grew up to be so unreasonably troublesome and didn't know what to do.However, this did not affect his concern for the team members, so he quickly calmed down the hint of impatience mixed in his tone, and asked, "It's okay, what is it?"

"Actually..." Garcia's voice at the moment made people feel uncomfortable, and the opening was full of sadness, "Her original name is Michelle Cruzzi... her first love boyfriend Ray, a The fire killed her father, mother and sister... and he is not in prison, but locked in a mental hospital by his rich father..."

Hodge was silent, and seemed to be able to forgive Beth's all-time aggressive attitude for a moment.He cleared his throat, and the lingering resentment and pain in his heart eased slightly, "...the matter is over, there is no need to tell others."

Garcia immediately agreed and hung up the phone, "Okay, I know."

As for Beth sitting in the driver's seat at the moment, Shirley in the back seat was still asking, "What were you talking about with Hodge just now? Why does he look so angry?"

"What can we talk about? He asked me about your past." Beth shook her head amusedly, feeling a little baffled by the emotional problems she had been emphasizing about Hodge. Tell others why his wife left him? He should have been divorced for many years... As for whether you mind so much..."

"The old relationship is unforgettable..." Shirley didn't know about the death of Huo Qi's ex-wife, but she grabbed Beth and said jokingly: "But why do you want to pay attention to whether other people are divorced or not? "

Beth laughed, skipped her question directly, did not give her a chance to gossip, instead teased her, "Are you familiar with that bald man just now?"

"Pfft..." Listening to her description, Shirley almost spurted blood.Frowning depressedly, he corrected: "Does he have a name? His name is Derek, Derek Morgan... what a bald man, what a bald man..."

"Okay, Morgan," hearing the dissatisfaction in her tone, Beth changed her words with a smile, and asked again: "...just friends?"

Feeling a wave of gossip coming in front of her, Xue Li nodded heavily without thinking, "Friend, we are friends."

Beth smiled and didn't ask any more questions.After a brief silence, he asked again: "What about Jennifer? She doesn't know anything yet?"

The cheerful atmosphere just now couldn't help becoming dignified, Shirley looked out the window for a long time, "I don't know, maybe I have to wait for a while."

Beth didn't want to say anything at first, but remembering the anticipation in JJ's eyes when she looked at her, she still said, "When she looked at me, I felt like she was remembering you, and it almost made me feel like holding on to her sister The illusion of not letting go."

Shirley was a little confused, "...but she seems to have, I don't know, she doesn't even like the cake I made her when I was a child."

Beth smiled, "Maybe she just likes to eat cakes made by her sister, but she doesn't know that you are her sister."

Shirley thought about it and thought it made sense, but she still had doubts, "But she said she ate too much when she was a child?"

Beth shook her head helplessly, "Will you casually mention her matter to others?"

Xue Li was right when she thought about it. Thinking that she was special to her, she smiled unconsciously and murmured, "Why didn't I think about it..."

Beth couldn't hear what she was saying, and asked tentatively, "Then... did my words change your mind?"

Shirley shook her head, and leaned back on the backrest in a good mood, "We'll see when we get back."

After that, Shirley went to the pet store to pick up Lucas, and returned to Los Angeles with Beth to temporarily avoid the limelight.The next day, I received a text message from Morgan, asking if it would be convenient to deliver the things she bought when she went shopping with jj.

Morgan sat in the car and waited, and soon received a reply, "_(:3)∠)_ Something happened before, and Rick didn't think it was wise for me to stay in Washington. He suggested that I go back to Los Angeles for a while , I'll find you when I get back."

Morgan smiled at the phone, feeling that the initial impression of Shirley was always a kind of polite distance, but now that feeling has gradually faded away.Whether it's from her words or the small expressions in her text messages, in his eyes, she no longer seems to be a helpless woman with childhood shadows, but just the one who grabbed his arm and asked him, "Where are you taking me?" "The coquettish girl.

So he responded to the text message very cooperatively, "Okay, but when you come back, will the reporters still bite you? ←_←"

Before the screen of the phone went dark, the reply had already arrived.Morgan even wondered if it was because Beth went to work, and she was as lazy as before when she was alone at home.But he didn't go into why she stayed in Washington even when she was bored, and why she was so idle during that time.

Because after seeing the overly cheerful expression in the reply, he no longer has the heart to think more, "No, hahaha, Rick said that I will definitely be disgusted by the media because of this incident ╮(╯▽ ╰)╭"

The only thing left in my heart is - she is such a lively, lovely and special rabbit.
