[Zhongyingmei] Hello stranger

After walking to the couch and sitting down, Shirley raised her hand and tapped the floor, and Lucas obediently bent down on the floor beside her feet.Seeing him whining towards her coquettishly, Shirley moved her leg and rubbed his face, looked back at Morgan, "Are you in a hurry?"

Putting down his hands on his head, Morgan glanced at the siphon pot on the coffee table, and spread his hands happily, "There is still time for a cup of coffee."

After taking the kettle on the tea table, Shirley stood up, smiled and shrugged at him, "Then please wait for me for a while."

Morgan nodded in agreement, watched her walk towards the empty kitchen on the left separated by the curtain, and turned her head to Lucas.After Lucas exchanged glances with Morgan, he looked away absently and stared at the door in a daze.

Morgan, who saw the door in the direction he was looking, turned his head and continued to stare at him, silently analyzed in his heart for a while, leaned forward with a sincere face, spread his clasped hands and introduced himself to him in a low voice, "Hey buddy. I'm Derek, Derek Morgan. Can we be friends?"

Lucas, who heard the movement, tilted his head downwards, saw that his eyes were filled with love and anticipation, shook his head a few times, got up from the floor and took a few steps towards him.Morgan was stunned for a moment, then tentatively moved his right hand down, seeing that he didn't dodge, he hesitated, put his hand on his back, and carefully smoothed his hair like Shirley's way.

Lucas wrinkled his nose, raised his upper lip, and hummed at Morgan.And Morgan watched him try to make a smiling expression, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into a big arc. As soon as he sat up straight, he saw him jumping around his legs.

Morgan happily opened his arms to him, and immediately hugged Lucas who was rushing towards him.And Shirley, who turned around and walked away with the kettle in her hand, sighed in disbelief when she saw this scene. She walked around the single sofa and sat down on the couch, raising her eyebrows at Morgan who was holding Lucas. "He looks like he likes you!"

Morgan smiled and touched Lucas who was in his arms, "It seems that my attitude towards him was really too unfriendly."

Glancing at Lukes who was rolling over on top of Morgan, Shirley turned her head funny and poured the hot water boiled in the kettle into the lower pot of the siphon pot so that the water level reached "two cups".Put the filter element into the upper pot, light the alcohol lamp and move it under the lower pot.Shirley inserted the upper pot obliquely into the lower pot so that the rubber edge was against the spout of the lower pot.

Seeing that Lucas stopped making trouble and only stared at Shirley who was making coffee, Morgan also withdrew his attention from him and looked at Shirley.

When big bubbles appeared continuously in the lower pot, Shirley straightened the upper pot, gently rocked it from side to side and pressed down to make it gently stuffed into the lower pot.Then Morgan saw the water in the lower pot start to climb up, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, "Oh, why do I feel like I'm back in chemistry class!"

Shirley turned her head to him and pursed her lips, looked away and waited until the upper pot was filled with water and the bubbles became less, then opened the coffee pot beside her, took out three spoonfuls of coffee powder that had just been ground yesterday, and added it to the upper pot.She used the stirring bamboo spoon to press down and down for a while, stopped for 30 seconds, then did another stir, and waited 20 seconds before doing the final stir.

After removing the alcohol lamp, Shirley took a slightly damp rag and gently wrapped the side of the lower pot, and the coffee in the upper pot was quickly pulled back to the lower pot.She held the upper pot with one hand and the handle of the lower pot with the other, and gently shook the upper pot from side to side to separate the two pots.

Watching her pour the coffee into the warmed coffee cup and hand it to him, Morgan couldn't help but look forward to this cup of coffee prepared by himself under his watch, and sincerely praised: "It smells very good."

Shirley smiled, raised her hand and gestured to Lucas to the right, and saw him step back obediently from Morgan.Morgan smiled and watched him wag his tail to himself, then quietly squatted aside, turned his head and tilted his head towards Shirley pointingly, "It seems that these are exactly the jobs you mentioned."

Seeing the flash of envy in his eyes, Shirley nodded amusedly, "That's right, I have a long vacation."

A bit depressed, he curled his lips and did not speak. After waiting for a while, Morgan picked up the coffee cup and tasted it.And Shirley asked after seeing him take a sip, "How does it taste?"

Frowning and thinking for a while, Morgan took another sip, savored it slowly, and replied seriously: "The taste is very pure, with a more obvious aftertaste. It seems a bit like tea."

Shirley also picked up the coffee cup, took a few sips and nodded in agreement, and then the two quietly tasted the liquid in the cup.It wasn't until she saw that the coffee in his cup was almost empty, that Shirley put down the coffee cup in her hand and reached out to him, "Give me the contract, and I'll sign it."

"Okay." Morgan took the document on the coffee table and handed it to her.Shirley flipped through it a few times, signed her name after looking at a few important places, and when he handed it back to Morgan, he had put down the coffee cup and stood up.

After receiving a contract handed over, Morgan seemed to be a little bit unsatisfied with this kind of leisure time.He pursed his lips and smiled at Shirley who stood up, and gestured to the coffee table with his hands, "Thank you for your hospitality."

Smiling and stepping forward, Shirley turned her head to look at Morgan beside her, "You're welcome."

When he came to Lucas, Morgan looked down at him, stopped and turned to Shirley, "Do you know there is a park nearby? I think you can take him for a walk there more often."

Seeing her nodding, Morgan enthusiastically suggested, "I can lead the way for you."

Shirley frowned, shaking her arms, and asked curiously, "Will it not delay your work?"

Morgan smiled and patted the contract in his hand, "If there is something to do, they will call me."

Confused for a moment, Shirley didn't ask any more questions, but nodded with a smile, and spread her hands towards the tea table, "Mind if I put them in the sink first?"

Morgan looked at her, put down the contract in his hand, and walked to the coffee table, "Mind if I put it?"

Seeing that Shirley waved her hands happily, Morgan held the handles of the two coffee cups. Before she could pick them up, the phone rang.He let go of his hand, stood up, took out his phone and glanced at it, and looked at Shirley helplessly, "I'm so sorry... It seems that there is work to do now."

Shirley turned sideways and folded her arms in a funny way, and raised her hand to express that she didn't mind, "It's okay, I have time to find it by myself. Hmm... Maybe you can take him for a walk when you are free."

Morgan nodded, picked up the contract, bent down and rubbed Lucas' head, smiled at Shirley and left.Walking out of the room, I connected to Garcia's phone, "Good morning, Mama, I'll be there soon."

After driving back to the headquarters contentedly, Morgan walked into the meeting room, and saw a group of people sitting inside looking at him in unison.Blinking inexplicably, he slowed down and looked at Huo Qi with a slight smile, "Sorry, I'm late."

Huo Qi quickly put away his probing look, and gestured to the vacant seat on the right without paying attention, "Let's get started."

After Morgan sat down, the four people except Hodge looked at each other meaningfully.Morgan frowned, raised his hand to wipe his face, and asked Rhett on the right in a low voice, "Is there something on my face?"

Reid winked and suppressed his smile, shook his head and raised his hand to pull a few hidden dog hairs from his collar.Showing it in front of his eyes, he pointedly said: "I don't remember you having a dog?"

Morgan licked his lips in confusion, remembering that he had mentioned to Rossi that Shirley wanted to have a dog.Thinking of what they were speculating secretly, Morgan couldn't help turning his head to look at Rossi, but saw that he was looking at the big screen with a serious face and concentration.

Rolling his eyes amusedly, Garcia's voice of making a statement of the case sounded in the next second, Morgan turned to look at her, and quickly entered the working state.After a preliminary analysis of the case, Hodge stood up and said, "Board the plane in 10 minutes," and Morgan followed him out of the conference room.

Huo Qi, who walked out first, gradually slowed down, and when he came to his side, he said casually with a faint smile: "Dog?"

Morgan spread his hands helplessly, "It's not what you think."

Huo Qi raised his eyebrows and said softly, "We didn't think about anything."

Morgan looked at him powerlessly, and in the end he was speechless at the back of him going upstairs, then shook his head and went back to his desk without saying anything.

Considering that Lucas and Morgan got along well, Shirley took Lucas by the hand. It seemed that the purpose of the stroll was actually calculated on the right time to walk on the road that Henry must pass when returning from East Potomac Park.Seeing Henry walking towards him in small steps accompanied by the nanny not far away, Shirley stopped slowly and led Lucas to the flower bed on the left.

Smiling and watching Lucas standing on the edge of the lawn, sniffing around the flower bed, Shirley noticed Henry approaching from the corner of her eyes.After pulling the traction belt a little, he obediently raised his head and walked to the right.Shirley, on the other hand, moved a few steps closer to the flower bed. Seeing him standing there frowning and looking at Henry hesitantly, she stopped her forward steps.

Henry, who happened to be approaching, saw Lucas, took a few steps towards him and smiled kindly, then raised his head and asked Shirley, "Can I touch him?"

Shirley looked up at the nanny behind Henry who smiled and had no objection, looked down and raised her eyebrows at him, "Of course, he seems to like you."

Henry smiled shyly, knelt down and carefully stroked the elastic hair on Lucas's back, then raised his head again and asked, "May I know his name?"

Xue Li's eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she said softly, "Lucas."

Henry lowered his head happily, stretched out his hands and gently cupped Lucas's face, "Hi, Lucas. I'm Henry, nice to meet you, do you want another friend?"

Seeing Lucas running in Henry's direction, Shirley moved forward a few steps and saw him cheerfully circling around Henry, raised his eyes to look at the nanny, "Your son likes small animals, so it's quite good."

The nanny spread her hands and smiled, "Henry is indeed very obedient, but he is not my son, I just help take care of him when his parents are working..."

Shirley frowned and smiled, "I see."

The nanny thought for a while, then asked hesitantly, "Do you live near here?"

Shirley waved her hands casually, "That's right, I just moved here not long ago."

Henry, who was playing with Lucas, turned his attention to Shirley and blinked, then turned his head to look at the nanny, "I remember her, her car stopped across the street from our house for a while a week ago."

Shirley looked at the nanny with surprised eyes, "I was indeed driving around looking for houses at that time. I don't even remember where I ran, but he has a good memory enough to remember me?"

Hearing the praise, the nanny smiled happily, "I think it's because of the good genes?"

Shirley pursed her lips in agreement, looked down at Henry beside Lucas who was lying comfortably on the ground, and stretched out her hand to him solemnly, "Hello, Henry, I'm Shirley. You're such a cutie. Dear child, it is a pleasure to meet you."

Henry looked hesitantly at the nanny who was nodding with arms folded, bit his lower lip and touched her hand with a smile, "I'm glad to meet you too...and Lucas."
