[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger

Rick looked a lot more friendly when he returned to the private room, and the atmosphere at the dining table was not too awkward.After the meal, the four said goodbye, and Morgan took Shirley to a nearby park for a walk.Recalling Rick's attitude, I still find it very strange, and asked hesitantly, "Has he liked you before?"

"Rick?" Shirley felt a little hard to understand his doubts, smiled and pulled him to sit on a bench not far away, "No, he has always liked Lauren."

Morgan thought about it seriously, and it was true that Rick was very considerate to Lauren, but to Shirley...he couldn't tell, "Well, I feel like that too...but why do I feel that he is not just treating you like you are? What about my sister?"

Seeing his serious expression, Shirley looked at him amusedly and asked, "What? Are you jealous?"

Morgan withdrew his thoughts, looked down at her, smiled and hugged her into his arms, and smiled close to her face and said, "Why would I be jealous of him? Even if I'm jealous, the object should be what Lauren mentioned Special."

Shirley smiled, put her arms around his neck, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why? I have been separated from him for many years."

Morgan counted them one by one seriously: "Maybe it's because you joked half a year ago that you wanted to rekindle your old relationship with him, maybe it's because he still has a crush on you half a year ago, maybe it's because I wasn't the first one you took with you." People who meet your friends..."

"Oh..." Seeing that the smile on his face gradually faded as he talked, Shirley sat up, pursed her lips and caressed his back, "So the point is the last one?"

Morgan raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders, and felt a little depressed about the not-so-smooth meeting just now, "Maybe or maybe not."

Shirley licked her lips, leaned on his shoulder and looked at him with a smile, and sighed to herself, "Derek, you must not imagine how cute you are now..."

Morgan glanced at her with a smile, shook his shoulders and reminded, "I'm really jealous."

"Okay...haha." Seeing his serious look, Shirley couldn't help laughing, and quickly put away her smile and looked up at him, "I've been with Nate for more than two years before I formally introduced them. But we've only been together for two months...so, is it important to be the first one?"

Morgan smiled, held her face and kissed her lips lightly, "The important thing is the last one..."

Shirley laughed twice, put her hand on his shoulder and kissed him back, but didn't answer.After a moment, the two parted their lips and looked at each other. Morgan asked again, "How did you know Rick?"

Shirley frowned amusedly, raised her hand to pinch his lips, and asked jokingly, "Are you excited?"

Morgan shook his head and spread his hands to explain, "No, I'm just curious."

"Okay..." Shirley put down her hand and smiled, "After graduating from high school, Lauren and I drove to New York. On the way, we met Rick who had a wheel spin and almost had a car accident. We helped him, so we got to know each other. "

Morgan frowned suspiciously, "... Shouldn't he be very good at playing with cars? Isn't there a way to deal with it?"

Shirley raised her eyebrows and explained, "He was driving under the influence of alcohol..."

"Oh..." Morgan thought about it carefully and nodded, "So he thinks you saved his life?"

Shirley shook her shoulders and smiled, "That's right."

"That's it..." Thinking back on Rick's attitude towards him, Morgan seemed to be able to figure it out, and asked with a smile after recovering, "But did you save where you went?"

"Haha..." Shirley nodded amusedly, "Hearing you say that seems to be true!"

Morgan raised his eyebrows and smiled, holding her hand just as he was about to get up, but the phone rang.He glanced at her helplessly, tightened her hand, got up and walked while answering the phone.When she turned around again, she saw that she had stood up from the bench. After thinking about it, she walked up to her and said, "Sorry, I have a job."

Xue Li raised her eyebrows and smiled feebly, grabbed his arm and walked out of the park, "Can you give me a lift in time?"

"Okay." I left for 20 days before, and I haven't spent two hours with her since I came back.Seeing her also looking helpless, Morgan couldn't help but think that Rick's words were not wrong, and after thinking about it, he said: "I may be busy during this time, and I will accompany you when I am free."

Shirley nodded silently, thought for a while and then added: "The game will be played soon, and I will go to Dallas in a few days."

The two had already walked outside the car door. Morgan stopped and held her tightly in his arms. He opened his mouth to say something but finally changed his words, "Be careful, I will go to accompany you if I have time."

Shirley nodded in agreement, she got out of his arms and saw his bitter face, she couldn't help but smiled and leaned forward to kiss him, "Okay, I'm just not used to it."

Morgan moved his arm around her waist, smiled and said nothing, sent her to stop outside the house, and then drove straight to the headquarters.

A week later, Shirley packed up her things and went to the hotel where Rick was staying as scheduled. She was going to say hello to Lauren and go to Dallas with him.

The room is on the No.17 floor, and Shirley walked in after waiting for the elevator to arrive.After the elevator reached the tenth floor, she was the only one left in the Mingtangtang elevator car.Suddenly, the entire elevator car shook slightly a few times.

"God!" Shirley thought the elevator would fall, so she held the fixed handle on the side with one hand, and quickly pressed the buttons on every floor below the tenth floor with the other hand.At the same time, get close to the corner wall, bend your knees and squat to keep your body in a balanced state as much as possible, and then lift your heels into a tiptoe posture.

However, there was no sign of the elevator falling, so Shirley exhaled and pressed the distress button.It's a pity that there was no response. Reluctantly, he took out his mobile phone and just found out Rick's number. Before dialing, the light suddenly went out.

The atmosphere was a little weird for a while, Shirley took a breath and pressed the dial button.While waiting, the upbeat "Symphony of Destiny" suddenly sounded in the elevator, scaring her so much that she dropped her phone to the ground.He didn't have time to worry about whether the elevator was in danger of falling, so he covered his ears and ran to the elevator door, kicking the door desperately, "No! Stop! No...!"

Rick on the other end of the phone had already answered the call, and when he heard the track coming from there, he couldn't help cursing, and called Lauren to rush out, "Shirley may be trapped in the elevator!"

"What?!" Lauren exclaimed worriedly, and followed behind him anxiously.

The light of the mobile phone in the elevator went out and flickered from time to time, Shirley clenched her thumb joints tightly.Even staring at the light, his breath didn't calm down much.Nesting in a small corner in horror, looking around vigilantly, it didn't take long before he stood up and stomped his feet as if trying to drive something away, "Don't...don't bite me!"

The music in the elevator was still playing wantonly, but only the sound of countless mice jumping here and there was left in her ears.She pawed her body weakly a few times, stuffed her hands into the entrance to block the constant trembling, and when she was about to pass out, she saw the elevator door open.

She almost crawled into Rick's arms, lowering her voice and whispering, "Nate... Nate...!"

Lauren, who was standing behind Rick, was stunned by her, and then couldn't help crying, "...what's wrong with her?"

The voice in her arms gradually disappeared, and Rick stretched out his hand to check her breath.He stroked her forehead in relief, laid her flat on the ground, took out her mobile phone and called the hospital.After that, she comforted Lauren and asked her to call Nate.

After hanging up the phone, Lauren calmed down for a while and asked, "Are you not looking for her boyfriend?"

Rick frowned and asked, "Is it useful to find him?"

Lauren thought about it and didn't say anything. She glanced at Shirley on the floor, and couldn't help crying again when she thought of her downcast appearance just now.Rick stepped forward and hugged her in his arms to comfort her, and glanced at Shirley on the floor in frustration. After waiting for a while, the medical staff came to take Shirley back to the hospital.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw Nate standing by the bed and holding her left hand, thinking about what happened in a daze.She stayed for a while and wanted to withdraw her hand from him, but the other party squeezed her hand tightly with a little force.When Xue Li tried to pull back, she felt a pain in her body. She couldn't help frowning and let out a "hiss", and subconsciously let go of her strength, "Why does my body hurt so much..."

Nate held her hand and moved it to his lips, and kissed it distressedly, "...you scratched yourself, and the doctor has already treated the wound."

"Oh." Shirley replied helplessly, moved her hand or stopped, and asked, "I want to sit up, can you help me out of bed?"

"Okay." Nate immediately agreed, put down her hand to help her adjust to a comfortable position, helped her lean back and helped her close the corner of the quilt, and then sat back on the chair beside her and watched her, "Don't worry, I'll stay here with you until you leave the hospital."

Shirley lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze, "...I'm fine, you look tired, I think you should go home and have a good rest."

Nate leaned closer and insisted on meeting her eyes, "Don't worry, okay? I won't ask you any more, so don't try to push me away again and again, okay?"

Shirley glanced at him awkwardly, thought for a while and said, "...I have a boyfriend."

Nate froze for a moment, then said, "You called me by my name, that's why Lauren called me."

"I..." Shirley swallowed what she wanted to say, felt that she couldn't explain clearly to him, so she didn't say anything, folded her arms and leaned back helplessly, "It's just a wrong call."

Nate smiled, sat down again, and clarified himself, "Okay, I'm just here as a friend, okay?"

Shirley thought about it and nodded.

Three days later, Rick and the other three were eating and chatting with Shirley in the ward.Morgan, who had just finished work, learned about Shirley, and called JJ to rush to the hospital. At this moment, the two of them were already standing in disgrace on the left side opposite to the other three.

Seeing the nervous tension and obvious lack of sleep, Shirley smiled, "Hey."

"Oh my god!" Followed Morgan who only told himself that Shirley had entered the hospital. JJ was at a loss for Shirley who was lying on the hospital bed at the moment, and worriedly moved closer to the bedside, nervously wanting to check her injuries. "How are you?"

"Don't worry," Shirley smiled, pulled the flustered her into her arms, and explained, "It's just a little skin trauma. The three of them must keep me in the hospital."

Morgan subconsciously looked at the opposite side, and first noticed Nate who was also looking at him. After thinking about it, he slightly pursed his lips, and the other party smiled back.And Lauren looked at Shirley, and asked Rick puzzled, "Who is she?"

Rick shook his head slowly, watching JJ get up and look at Morgan.Morgan walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, holding her hand tightly on his forehead and looking at her without saying anything.

Shirley raised her other hand to hug his neck, stroked his cheek, smiled, and then introduced JJ to the other three, "She is Jennifer Jieruo, my sister."

"..." Rick frowned in confusion, looked at JJ, "Your sister?"

Lauren looked at JJ in surprise, then looked at Shirley in disbelief, "...do you have a younger sister?"

Nate was dazed for a while, looked back and forth between the two of them, and asked Shirley, "Do you remember the past?"

When YouQi heard Nate's question, Shirley lowered her head uncomfortably, and turned her head to look at Morgan, who was amusedly smoothing her hair.Looking at Nate, he forced a smile, then looked at the other two, and said, "...that's right."
