[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger

Even though she was sitting in the back row wearing Morgan's suit, Shirley still felt a little chilled by the wind howling outside the window.So he put down his clothes, took off his coat to cover his legs, and then put his coat on again, feeling better.

The car was still stuck on the crowded road at the moment.

Hearing the rustling sound behind him, Morgan glanced in the interior mirror.Smiling, he closed the small half of the car window next to the passenger seat until there was only a gap left, "Is this okay?"

"Yeah." The temperature in the car warmed up, and Shirley leaned back comfortably.With his head resting on the soft leather pillow, he could vaguely see his side face.Smiling and closing her eyes, she said with some emotion, "When will it be so windy in New York in the summer..."

"Who knows, nature has always been unpredictable." Morgan answered, and then asked: "But judging from your tone, it seems that you are still familiar with this place?"

Shirley laughed lazily a few times, she was very sober standing in the wind before.Now that she has changed to a comfortable environment, the few glasses of wine she drank seems to have gradually taken effect, which made her a little sleepy, "I went to college in New York."

Morgan remembered that Garcia hadn't been able to find her relevant certificates before, and asked again: "Which university?"

The interrogator's voice seemed to come through layers of clouds and mist, and the deep voice made her dazed consciousness clearer.Trying to open her eyes and cross her arms, she moved her head and thought about his question, "Columbia University."

When she heard the answer, the road ahead was cleared up. Hearing her soft voice, Morgan smiled and said, "If you're tired, just close your eyes and rest for a while, you should be there soon."

There was no reply for a long time, and Morgan glanced at the car interior mirror distractedly, only to realize that she had fallen asleep.Amusedly looking back at the road ahead, he quickly drove the car across the street from the Four Seasons Hotel.

After stopping the car, he turned around to look at her, and yelled softly, "Xue Li, Xue Li..."

Seeing that she still didn't respond, Morgan didn't continue, turned his head and leaned quietly on the passenger seat.Unknowingly, I thought of Rosie and Rhett's questions, and turned to look at her——

She slept peacefully, breathing steadily.The left hand rests on the abdomen, and the right hand has slid to the cushion beside him.The head is slightly tilted against the headrest, and it doesn't look like it's in danger of falling to one side.

Her blond hair fell like tassels on his black suit, which was too loose for her, and her whole figure seemed to be wrapped.Her legs were covered with a thin coat, and the exposed skin of her legs was only covered by a long tulle.

Morgan smiled, finding her reassuring.When she was about to look away, she heard her snort once or twice, and then saw her frowning with some discomfort, "Xue Li?"

His voice neither woke her nor eased her emotions.Morgan looked at her, saw her twitching her mouth aggrievedly, and fell to the right side.Her back was tightly pressed against the backrest, and she lay directly on the cushion with her shoes on.The whole body curled up into a ball, pulling the jacket down in sleep so that it could cover the feet.

Soon her moaning stopped, her face gradually softened, and she let out a thin breathing sound again.Morgan shook his head amusedly, and drove the car to the backlight on the side of the hotel.He stopped again, turned on the interior lights, closed the windows, and drew down the curtains at the same time.

He moved the seat back, helped her take off her uncomfortable stiletto heels, and leaned forward to help her arrange the two coats that were used as sheets.When I turned around and was about to turn off the lights, I found a flashlight and turned it on before turning off the interior lights.

After doing all this, he closed his eyes in a happy mood, and only then recalled his initial doubts.Turning around to look at her face again, looking down and seeing her looming cleavage through the gap of the coat, and thinking carefully about the skin of her thighs that accidentally caught her eyes when helping her adjust the coat.

There was no desire in his heart, and there was no reaction in his body. Morgan smiled comfortably.Thinking that the two of them were really boring, he closed his eyes again and thought that he was a normal man after all, and it was too careless for Shirley to just fall asleep in his car.

Shaking his head amusingly, Shirley's sleeping peacefully appeared before his eyes from time to time.There seems to be a feeling of solidity in my heart, what is it?Morgan thought it might be because he was falling asleep too.

In the early morning of the next day, Shirley was awakened by the noise of a group of children passing by outside the car door.Opening his eyes tiredly, he sat up lazily and scratched his hair.Identifying the surrounding environment in the chaos, I sat for a while before my mind gradually became clear.Rubbing the corners of her eyes and looking forward, seeing someone sleeping silly with her mouth slightly open, she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering a few times.

But the other party was not woken up by her, Shirley took off his coat and put it back on him, and looked at his face for a few more times, still thinking it was funny.He had to look away before he noticed a circle of light above the roof.She leaned forward, took the flashlight on the passenger seat and looked at it.

It turned out that this was exactly the light she saw when she opened her eyes slightly at night. She smiled and turned off the flashlight.She tilted her head and propped her chin to look at his side face for an unknown amount of time. Seeing that his head was about to slip off the headrest, she let go of her hand and stepped forward to catch his head.

"Hmm..." Shirley frowned and smiled, and couldn't help but move her palm slightly, muttering, "It feels pretty good."

Someone in the dream felt a different touch and coughed comfortably.Shirley chuckled a few times and quickly stopped, slowly dragging his head to put it back on the pillow.However, he raised his eyebrows slightly with a complacent look, and incidentally rubbed her palm twice.

Feeling a crisp and itchy palm, Shirley couldn't help but laughed out loud.Then she saw him raise his head, and she also quickly withdrew her hand and grabbed the cushion beside her, watching him sit up straight in a daze, "What happened?!"

Shirley laughed loudly, "Hahaha..."

Hearing the familiar but different wild laughter behind him, Morgan, who thought he was taking a nap during work, looked back at her.Amusingly retracting his gaze and rubbing the corners of his eyes, he leaned back again, "Oh... I can't believe the two of us slept in the car all night."

Shirley smiled and rubbed her head, "Did I disturb you?"

Morgan shook his head, "No, I actually slept soundly."

Shirley nodded and asked, "Are you going to go back to work later? Why don't you go wash up?"

Morgan agreed, took out a bottle of water, opened it, and handed it to her.He also took out a bottle of water and took a few sips, got out of the car and opened the door for her.Throwing the coat over her shoulders again, he went with her to the hotel room.

There are two bathrooms in the room, one for each person.Morgan washed and dressed to leave, and Shirley stayed with him for breakfast.After that, Morgan went back to work, and Shirley checked out and went back to Los Angeles after tidying up for a while.

After staying in Los Angeles for another two weeks, Shirley returned to Washington, and the next day she received an invitation from JJ to go to the bar after hearing the news.

Shirley was a little happy at first, but when she went to the bar, she realized that she was not the only one who invited her.However, her mood didn't fluctuate too much, and she happily followed jj to the crowd and greeted them warmly.

A group of people sat around drinking and playing games for a while.Rossi dragged Hodge to chat with other women, and Morgan abducted Rhett to find other women to drink.Emily and Garcia stayed for a while, invited to the dance floor, and finally only Shirley and jj were left.

Shirley put down her wine glass and smiled at her, "Aren't you going to dance with them?"

JJ smiled and shook his head, "I want to sit down for a while, you can go play with them."

Shirley lowered her eyes and shook her head, "It's okay, I want to sit down now too."

jj nodded in understanding, and then quietly watched the crowd drinking around him.Just when Shirley was looking for a good topic, JJ looked away and asked her, "Is that your sister before?"

"That's right." Shirley looked up at her, not wanting to answer her question with just one word, "Although we are not related by blood, we are very close."

JJ lowered his head and smiled, "I know, I can see it too."

Shirley nodded, and heard her continue: "I actually had an older sister, and we were very close in the past..."

Xue Li frowned in confusion, thinking that she might be talking about this because she also has a sister, "But?"

JJ looked up and smiled, "She disappeared when I was very young, and she hasn't returned until now."

"That's a pity..." Shirley lowered her eyes, raised her glass and drank, not knowing what to say, so she continued to listen to her: "Before you came, there was a bouquet of blue roses on the wine table. But Morgan said you hated roses so we got the waiter out."

She looked like she needed someone to talk to, Shirley listened, "My sister saved up to buy me a bouquet of white roses when I was very young. It's been my favorite flower ever since."

She lowered her head again, Shirley couldn't help frowning, "...I'm sorry."

JJ glanced at her indifferently, and smiled, "It's okay, in fact, I just like white roses."

Xue Li looked at her with downcast eyes, forced a smile, covered her mouth and put her hands down to support her head, "...she must value you very much."

JJ nodded happily, frowned after thinking about it, and said, "I don't know what's going on between you and your sister, but sometimes there's still a little friction between me and her... I felt so wronged at the time, but now that I think about it, it's actually not so bad. Quite interesting."

Shirley nodded, shook her head again, and asked puzzledly, "For example?"

JJ smiled and said vividly, "My sister likes to sit in the passenger seat very much. Once when I wanted to take it, she made up a ghost story to scare me. She said that the person sitting in the front will always They are haunted by the ghosts behind them. They will try every means to lure the people in front to look back, and once they turn back, they will be eaten."

"Oh..." Shirley frowned and sighed, why did she feel that what she said at the beginning was more scary, and she continued to say: "She said that people in the driver's seat usually don't turn their heads because they want to drive, and the passenger seat People who sit on it will easily turn their heads back, so you must sit with someone who is determined."

"Oh." Shirley smiled puzzledly, unable to figure out what kind of logic it was, and seeing her raise her eyebrows, "That's what she probably meant, and her expression at the time was almost exaggerated. I even thought she was a little funny, but Seeing that she was determined to win, I had to pretend to be scared and went to the back row."

"Oh..." Shirley shook her head, not knowing what to say, so she just sighed, seeing her raise her hand and smiled to herself, "But I heard from Morgan that you don't like to sit in the passenger seat, so you There shouldn't be such a problem between them, right?"

"Hmm..." Shirley smiled in embarrassment, lowered her head and frowned, looked up at JJ who had turned around and waved to the dance floor, "Maybe."

JJ turned his head and exhaled, he seemed to be in a better mood, stood up and smiled, "Are you going to dance?"

Shirley shook her head thoughtfully, then turned and left when she saw that she had said something to herself.He called her to stop, and asked hesitantly: "...you have solved so many cases, haven't you thought about trying to find her?"

JJ paused for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses, and smiled as if he had figured it out, "It's been many years... maybe no news is the best news."

Shirley lowered her head, bit her lips and frowned, then quickly raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Maybe. But I think she will be proud of you no matter what."

JJ raised his eyebrows and left happily, "She will."

Shirley watched her run towards the other two and smiled at them.Picking up the wine glass and leaning back, drinking, she couldn't help recalling what Nate said in the secret room, "You know, I actually sometimes have a very negative attitude. I was thinking, what did they bring I am here. Whatever is taken from me or left behind has changed me from what I used to be. Things I used to love become a source of fear, foods I used to love become unpalatable, and even My appearance has also changed because of the resentment accumulated over the years. But in fact these are not important, what is important is that I can't help thinking-when everything has changed, am I still the same as before? "

Xue Li silently downed a glass of wine, raised her hand and stroked her heavy head.Putting down his hands and looking at the lively crowd around him, his mood gradually calmed down.

She was right, no news is the best news.To her, to others.
