The three continued to walk forward, and Morgan looked back only to find that the two people beside him were staring at him, puzzled and asked: "What's wrong?"

With his hands in his pockets, Reid withdrew his sizing gaze, shook his brows with a serious expression, and walked forward quickly.And Rossi pointed out something, and asked in a considerate tone: "When everyone thinks she is sexy and beautiful, why do you pay attention to whether she is cold or not?"

"Because she's my friend." Morgan glanced at him inexplicably, answered the sentence as a matter of course, and then looked at Shirley's position.

Rossi didn't answer, and looked at his expression with interest when he looked not far away.Seeing that he frowned imperceptibly, subconsciously followed his line of sight, and at a glance, Xue Li was talking with the man beside her.Funny joked: "...do you like her?"

Morgan heard the question on the right, paused for half a second, and quickly looked back at him.For the first time, he saw the meaningful smile on his vicissitudes but spirited face that he hadn't seen for a long time since Henry's birthday party, raised his eyebrows, and naturally denied, "No, we are friends, just like me Like Garcia."

"Okay..." Morgan withdrew his attention and walked forward without changing his expression.Although he was staring straight ahead, Rossi seemed to see the confusion in his heart that was stirred up by him through his straight eyes, so he reminded seriously, "But the expression you just looked at her..."

Without waiting for him to continue speaking, Morgan turned his head and glanced at him, then changed back into a foolish look and walked beside Rhett with a smile, "Our mission is to find someone, isn't it Rhett?"

Reid felt someone put on his shoulders, turned his head to look at Morgan, and nodded in agreement.Just when Morgan turned his head to look at Rossi triumphantly, he unexpectedly asked, "Do you like Garcia?"

"How can I not like my baby girl?" Morgan patted Rhett's shoulder and replied naturally.Then Rhett frowned with a suppressed smile, blinked and asked in a low voice, "But you don't like Shirley?"

Morgan stiffened and spread his hands, opened his mouth and seemed to be speechless, frowned speechlessly, and heard Rossi approaching behind him, "You treat your two best female friends differently like this? "

Morgan put his hands back into his pockets, glanced at each of them back and forth, raised his chin with a serious face, turned around and walked straight forward, "I'm too lazy to talk to you two, it's too tiring."

Rossi, who was watching his back as he went away, raised his arms to embrace Reid with a smile on his face and continued to walk forward.And Morgan, who was walking in front, unconsciously began to feel confused. Before he had time to think clearly, Shirley, who saw him from the other side, came to him with a smile, "Hey, Derek, what a coincidence!"

Seeing her bright smile, Morgan unconsciously curled the corners of his lips, and quickly cleared away his previous doubts.Patting her arm, he took a step back and looked at her whole body, smiled and raised his head and praised: "Nice evening dress, tonight's focus girl must be you!"

Shirley smiled and tilted her head to express her gratitude and praise. After looking at him for a while, she asked in a teasing tone, "Are you here on business... or as someone's male companion?"

Morgan raised his eyebrows, "Business. To keep a low profile, I dressed like this."

Shirley pursed her lips and nodded, looked away searchingly, and asked puzzledly, "Are you alone?"

Morgan looked behind but couldn't see the two of them. After looking around, he found that they had led a man in a suit to the second floor. He exclaimed annoyedly, "That's enough..."

"What's the matter?" Shirley asked puzzledly, turned around and followed his line of sight, but before seeing anything, he quickly stepped forward to block her sight, and frowned suspiciously, "What happened?"

"No, it's safe here." Morgan shook his head and smiled, pushed her to the other side, waved at her and trotted forward, "I'm off to work! You look beautiful tonight!"

"Okay, good luck." Shirley smiled sideways, watching him move forward nimbly through the road.Look at the group of bewildered men in suits and leather shoes left behind him. They turned their heads amusedly and saw him straightening his clothes and walking upstairs quickly. Then he turned around and walked towards Charles who had been watching this side.

Recalling the scene just now, Charles looked at Shirley, whose lips were slightly raised, drinking the wine, swishing the glass and asked with a smile, "You seem to like him a lot."

"Well, I like him very much." Shirley said with a smile, removing the glass, "He is a very good friend."

Charles smiled, obviously the "like" she answered was different from the "like" he asked, and naturally it was also different from the "like" she showed and he saw.But he didn't ask any more questions, and then changed the subject to continue the chat.

One after another, some fans flocked forward to find Charles's autograph or group photo. Shirley also felt that it was not good for her to occupy his time all the time. After meeting him, she found a quiet place to contact the two.

But there was no reply for a long time, Xue Li let out a sigh of relief, and when she turned to leave, a familiar voice came from behind, "Sher?"

Shirley turned to look.His blond hair gradually became clear from the darkness, and finally he smiled and continued as if surprised: "It's really you, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xue Li raised her eyebrows, secretly thinking that the other party's lying skills are too weak.But he just smiled and walked out side by side with him, "Well, Rick and Lauren brought me here. But it's been a while since they were seen, have you met them?"

"No, I haven't had time to say hello to them yet." Nate shook his head unknowingly, walked to the dining table while speaking, handed her a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry They're gone. If you're bored by yourself, I'd be happy to pass the time with you."

"Thank you..." Shirley took the wine glass, clinked glasses with him and drank with a smile, thinking that it had been discussed beforehand.Secretly giving the two of them a look, she put down her wine glass, "But I've been here long enough, now I'm going back to the hotel."

Nate didn't make any unnecessary attempts to keep her away. He also put down his wine glass, walked to her side with a smile and raised his arms, "It seems that you still don't like this kind of occasion, so I'll send you out."

Shirley put her hand on his arm, thanked him, and walked out with him in an upright manner.He took away his coat and put it on, and continued to chat with him, and soon the two walked out of the banquet.

Seeing Shirley walking straight forward, Nate suggested, "You didn't drive? Shall I take you back to the hotel?"

Shirley stopped and looked back at him, "No need, I'll just take a taxi back."

Nate insisted, "Let me see you off, there are not many cars here."

Shirley shook her head and refused, turned around and walked straight forward, "It's okay, I'll just wait a little longer."

Nate couldn't, so he had to give up.Quickly followed, and stood under the streetlight with her, "Then I'll wait with you."

Shirley smiled, acquiescing.Afterwards, as he said, there were not many cars, and even fewer were willing to stop for her.

There was a bit of coolness in the air, Shirley tightened her coat slightly but it didn't improve much.And Nate unbuttoned his suit jacket as soon as he noticed her, put it on her shoulders and fastened it tightly, "The temperature in New York at night is a bit low these days, you should bring a thicker one." coat."

Shirley didn't know what to say for a while, she just accepted his kindness blankly, and listened to his slightly reproachful tone, "Thank you. I didn't read the weather forecast."

"Lauren doesn't remember to remind you..." Nate read again, looking at her with a straight face, "Also, we have known each other for so many years, you don't have to be so polite to me."

Shirley smiled, "I remember."

Nate didn't say anything, and the two of them waited quietly for the taxi that was impossible to come.When Shirley moved her body forward and stretched her neck to look forward, she heard Nate on the left suddenly laugh out loud, and looked at him wonderingly, "What's wrong? What are you laughing at?"

Nate shook his head, trying to suppress a smile, but it obviously didn't help.But Xueli couldn't help being amused by his silly look, raised her hand and pushed him, and asked, "What's so funny?"

Nate restrained himself and asked with a smile, "Do you remember the spring break of your junior year, when we went to San Diego, California?"

Shirley thought about it and nodded, "I remember that we stayed together for a week. What day are you talking about?"

Nate suppressed his smile, and looked at her with a pursed smile, "The day you went to La Jolla Beach. You wanted to watch the sunset, but it was already late when we left. I said to stay near the beach for one night, you Must go back to the hotel…”

Xue Li gradually remembered, nodded with a smile and continued: "We walked for a long time and waited for a long time for the car, but no one was willing to take us."

Nate smiled, "Yeah, in the end we walked for a long time and stayed near the beach."

Shirley raised her eyebrows, "It was very windy that night, and we didn't wear much. After you gave me your coat, I felt like you had become a refrigerator, so I thought, inconvenience is better than procrastination Go back to the refrigerator."

Nate pursed his lips and smiled, "That must be one of the few compromises you have made."

"That's right... I'm really stubborn." The good memories of the past can't help but come back to my mind, Shirley smiled, and looked at him, "Those are in the past."

Nate moved closer to her, and Shirley said before she could speak: "I'm still as stubborn as ever, Nate. Just remember that, we should have moved on."

After finishing speaking, she took off his coat and returned it to him, "I am very grateful for the time you gave me, and I am very grateful that you still remember me after all these years. But now I think you should go in, I can Waiting for the car alone."

Nate squeezed the coat in his hand, glanced at her, turned around and took a few steps to look back at her, "If you change your mind like you did eight years ago, I'm still waiting for you inside."

Shirley didn't try to defend, but nodded, "Go in."

Nate turned and went in, while Shirley continued to wait for the car but still no car would stop.Only then did he finally come to his senses, and looked up at the sky in frustration, "It's amazing to be rich! The two of you are really enough!"

While she was mad, a car stopped in front of her. Morgan got out of the car and stood in front of her with a smile, "Can't wait for the car?"

Shirley looked up, as if seeing a savior, she nodded happily, "Well... aren't you working?"

Morgan shook his head amusedly, raised his hand and opened the rear door to signal her to go in, "It's time to rest after work, I'll give you a ride."
