[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger
Chapter 6 (Catching Bugs)
Although the master bedroom where the debris was piled up was fairly clean, considering the dust that might be picked up when cleaning things up, they decided to buy some dust masks and some small tools nearby.
As Shirley said, the surrounding living facilities are very complete, and there is a supermarket not far away.The two walked forward in small steps, while Morgan dutifully introduced nearby parks and restaurants to her.
Although Shirley he was talking about had already found out clearly, but he just listened carefully without saying a word.Not long after returning from shopping, the installation workers hired by Morgan quickly replaced the door on the third floor and left, while Morgan and Shirley put on dust masks and pushed boxes to pick up sundries in the master bedroom.
Morgan had only lived in this house for half a year two years ago, and he didn't know what strange things would be found inside.In order to avoid the embarrassment similar to the previous one, he tried his best to pack things together as close as possible to Shirley.He thought that if he really found any overly personal items, he might as well throw them into the waste box near the door as soon as possible.
And Shirley, who probably guessed what he was thinking, didn't say much about his relatively time-consuming method of not dividing labor.At the beginning, the two just packed their things quietly and didn't talk too much, but after Morgan, who had never seen anything suspicious, was relieved, whenever he dug out some items with stories, he couldn't help but stare at the only snow in front of him. Li mentioned it.
Listening to him lamenting the passage of time, or rejoicing at the wonderful life in the past, Shirley didn't think he was too noisy.On the contrary, looking at the corners of his eyes bent from time to time and imagining the carefree smile on his face, she felt very envious.
It didn't take long for Shirley to be infected by his emotions, and began to ask him about some commemorative things.She took out a wooden box with exquisite workmanship from the cabinet, opened it, took out the cup with the q version of Morgan printed on it, handed it to him, and asked with a smile: "You don't seem to have used this before, do you?"
Seeing the cup, Morgan's eyes lit up for a moment, and he raised his hand to take it with a smile of lost and recovered, "Oh my God! I have been having a headache because I couldn't find it, but I didn't expect it to be here!"
Seeing him carefully put the cup into the wooden box, Shirley raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You must value it very much, so you put it away and forget it?"
Morgan nodded, stooped to put the wooden box into the plastic storage box at her feet, and explained to her: "Two years ago, I suffered a small injury at work. My friend specially ordered this cup and wanted to borrow it. This comforts me."
It is not difficult to guess that the presenter of such a lovely cup must be a lady. Seeing that the joy on Morgan's face has not diminished, Shirley joked: "Girlfriend?"
Morgan raised his eyebrows, shook his head, and continued to pull out a few drawers next to the cabinet, picked up unnecessary things from them and threw them into the garbage bag at his feet, "She is my friend, my colleague, and even my family. "
Shirley sighed meaningfully, "Sounds like a lucky woman."
Morgan didn't offer much excuse for her possible misunderstanding.Looking at Shirley who was packing up her things intently, she couldn't help but think of the answer Garcia wanted to know.After thinking for a while, he asked casually, "Have you read the report about your stay in Miami yesterday?"
Stopping what she was doing, Shirley turned her head and looked at him with a slightly serious expression, "No... Has anyone caught me?"
"No, not at all." Morgan noticed that her expression immediately relaxed, and continued without further thinking: "The newspapers only published photos of you dancing with another driver, but they only have your back .”
Shirley flipped through things slowly, and she was basically sure that it must be the photo that the people at the banquet handed over to the magazine.She temporarily ignored Morgan on the side, and silently blamed herself in her heart for not being cautious enough, until she heard his statement tone, "The higher-ups are speculating about the relationship between you."
Turning her head funny, Shirley saw him blink innocently, and asked meaningfully: "You don't look like someone who cares about gossip?"
Morgan raised his hand, put it down helplessly, and said frankly: "Well, actually, my friend is a fan of Charles, and she is curious whether that incident is true."
Shirley frowned, did not answer his question, but asked suspiciously again: "She knows that I am the one who rented the house?"
Seeing her serious expression again, Morgan confessed: "Sorry, she knows. But you can rest assured, she won't tell anyone."
Shirley looked away and thought about it, when she heard his voice, she turned her head and looked at him with a serious face almost as if swearing to appease, "Trust me, she is not that kind of person."
After staring at his firm eyes for a while, Shirley didn't doubt anymore. She turned around and touched the things in the cabinet in a funny way, then turned her head and glanced at him, "I said she was very lucky."
Morgan smiled and still didn't explain, bent down and opened the big drawer, but pulled out a football from it.And Shirley happened to take out a photo frame from the cabinet. She looked at Morgan and Rhett in olive suits in the photo, and when she turned her head to ask about the story, she lowered her eyes and saw his suddenly lost eyes.Shirley raised her eyes and pretended not to notice him, but from the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of him turning around expressionlessly and throwing the football straight into the wooden box.
Realizing that Morgan was about to stand up, Shirley withdrew her probing gaze in a timely manner, and quickly poured the photo frame inside.However, due to her abrupt and quick movements, Morgan reached out and took out the photo frame curiously.
Shirley looked at him with some embarrassment, but saw him laughingly pointing to Reid in the photo and said to her: "At that time he didn't know anything about football, but he showed amazing strength at the critical moment. Although he looks very small, he is a doctor of genius. He may look a little thin, but he is a very strong and kind boy."
Xue Li, who couldn't figure out the change in his expression before and after, tried her best not to show any doubts, but pursed her lips slightly, and shook her head to express her silent admiration.Looking at Shirley who turned around to pack her things, Morgan patted the photo frame in her hand, turned around and looked at the waste wooden box with a little relief, lowered her body and smiled and put the photo frame into the storage box.
After the two of them were busy tidying up the entire bedroom and recovering from exhaustion, they realized that it was already past the time for dinner.The two had already taken off their masks and sat on the ground casually leaning against the wall. Shirley looked around the finally vacated room, turned her head and smiled and said to him, "Thank you. I think if you don't mind, How about we order takeout?"
Morgan nodded with a smile, raised his hand and gestured "ok" to her.And Shirley breathed a sigh of relief and sat up from the ground, stood in front of him and said, "Then you can order some takeaway for me, and I'll charge it to my account later...Thank you again. Excuse me, I'll go to the bathroom. "
Morgan smiled and agreed, and not long after she walked out of the room, she sat up from the ground, moved her body a few times, and took out her mobile phone to order a few signature dishes from a good restaurant nearby.After that, the two waited silently for the takeaway with hungry stomachs, and almost didn't even have the strength to talk.
However, after the takeaway was delivered, Morgan happily opened the insulated box and introduced the dishes to Shirley.And Shirley wasn't hungry enough for the past ten seconds, and listened to his introduction happily.It wasn't until he lifted a lid and smelled the smell of curry inside that she stopped laughing reflexively and frowned.
"Curry Seafood, this is their store..." Morgan was talking, and when he looked up, he saw her suppressing the uncomfortable expression.He was confused for a moment, then raised his hand and pretended to fan the top of the insulation box, then closed the lid and said regretfully, "Oh, but it smells like it's gone bad."
Seeing him put the lid back on, Shirley calmly breathed a sigh of relief, gradually showing a relieved expression.She raised her hand and waved it beside her nose, and opened the other insulated boxes with a smile, "I'm almost fainting from hunger, let's talk while eating."
Just as she pretended not to see his attitude towards rugby before, Morgan also only slightly pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows without asking any more questions, and picked up the knife and fork to express her silent approval of her proposal.
After talking and laughing after dinner, the two cleaned up the trash and took the cleared boxes downstairs together.Watching Morgan put the plastic storage box that needs to be left in the trunk, Shirley smiled and invited, "Are you interested in going for a drink?"
Morgan was about to agree, but the phone rang inappropriately.He raised his eyebrows at her somewhat disappointedly, "I'd be happy to go, but it looks like I have work to do again."
Seeing that he was only holding the phone and didn't intend to answer it, Shirley folded her arms and looked at him with pursed lips, "It seems that you are really busy, Mr. Landlord."
Smiling helplessly, Morgan walked towards the car while waving his mobile phone that kept ringing at her, "Next time I have a chance, I'll buy you a drink, good night."
Putting down her hands, Shirley turned her head to express her willingness to agree, "Good night."
Watching Morgan's car turn, Shirley walked back into her car, drove to a truck next to JJ's house on the fourth block, and stopped.After closing the car window, Shirley took out the SLR from under the passenger seat and looked in through the kitchen window, just in time to see Will smiling and hugging Henry and JJ kissing goodbye.
Seeing the father and son watching jj off with reluctance, Shirley panned her hands along with her back, pulled the camera closer, and pointed at jj whose smile was gradually fading, and made another "click".Putting the DSLR back under the passenger seat beside her, Shirley waited for her to get into the car with sad eyes.Turning the car around and driving forward, the car that overtook her quickly drove out of the fork, glanced at her in the front-view mirror, and said softly, "Good evening, Jennifer."
As Shirley said, the surrounding living facilities are very complete, and there is a supermarket not far away.The two walked forward in small steps, while Morgan dutifully introduced nearby parks and restaurants to her.
Although Shirley he was talking about had already found out clearly, but he just listened carefully without saying a word.Not long after returning from shopping, the installation workers hired by Morgan quickly replaced the door on the third floor and left, while Morgan and Shirley put on dust masks and pushed boxes to pick up sundries in the master bedroom.

She looked at Morgan and Rhett in olive suits in the photo, and when she turned her head to ask about the story, she lowered her eyes and saw his suddenly lost eyes.Shirley raised her eyes and pretended not to notice him, but from the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of him turning around expressionlessly and throwing the football straight into the wooden box.
