31. XXXI
>> Love is destined, we can't find the true meaning of life alone, we need to be with the people we love.
Liu Fanxu's fingertips rubbed the fabric of Red's shirt, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "Perhaps, for this man, this is the best ending." Red frowned, pursed his lips, and asked uncertainly, "Why do you say that?" She shook her head and replied with a smile, "I just think so, a crazy person probably wants nothing more than a breath of peace." ”
"Maybe you're right, but who really knows what they want, and they're in that way of feeling and can't tell us the truth." Red frowned, and replied solemnly. Liu Fanxu raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, smiling slightly, "So, you got a long vacation?" He lowered his eyelids, avoiding her gaze, and pursed his lips as if he didn't know how to speak. She sighed softly, pressed her palm against his cheek, and whispered, "Then let's go to Las Vegas this weekend, you said you were going to take me to see your mother." ”
Red blinked, finally meeting her gaze, but the expression on his face was a mixture of excitement, delight, and doubt, and he opened his mouth to question, "Hi Aga, you must know that today is Friday, you have just had surgery and need to lie in a hospital bed to recuperate, although I am glad that you said that you will visit your mother on the weekend, but your body does not allow you to make such a risky move." ”
Liu Fanxu opened his mouth and knew that he had lost his words. She glanced into Red's eyes, and suddenly bent them to reveal a weak but happy smile "I want to tell you a secret, Spencer" She mysteriously lowered her voice, tugging at the hem of Red's coat to force him closer, leaning into his ear and saying, "Since I was a child, I have discovered that the wounds on my body heal faster than others. Trust me, tomorrow afternoon, maybe I can actually accompany you to Las Vegas. Red still frowned disapprovingly, he pursed his lips, a strange expression of are you kidding me, "Hi, Aga, this is not scientific, you know this is not scientific, in fact, although epidermal regeneration can cover the wound in 24~48 hours, granulation tissue can only grow from the edge of the wound and fill the wound on the third day, 5~6 days for collagen fibers to form, you can only remove the suture of the wound at this time, and it will take 2~3 weeks to completely heal, even then it will leave a linear scar. So you want to heal tomorrow afternoon, it's impossible, no matter how fast your wound heals. You need to recuperate for at least 2~3 weeks before you can go on a long trip. ”
Liu Fanxu pouted depressedly, she frowned, and said distressedly, "Hey, Spencer, I don't want to stay in the hospital in Los Angeles all the time, I know that you have to go back to Quantico, I want to go back with you, don't leave me here alone." Her brow furrowed even tighter, and she protested dissatisfiedly, "So, I have to go through a long journey, it's doomed." In that case, why not take a trip to Las Vegas. Okay, Spencer, we can skip the plane, how about a road trip, you're going to have fewer and fewer vacations in the future, so, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, isn't it good to grasp the present? At the end, her eyes smiled into two crooked moons, and the corners of her mouth were raised high, "Or, Spencer, you can't drive?" ”
"Who said that, in fact, I was able to drive independently as soon as I went to college." Rhett retorted dissatisfiedly, Liu Fanxu held his fingertips and said comfortingly, "Yes, yes, how could I forget that you are a genius, but how old were you when you first entered college?" 14 or 13 years old? Red frowned and replied very quickly, "I am 14 years old, but because I am under the legal age, the state will not give me documents." Hi, don't change the subject, Aga, I haven't agreed yet. She blinked and pouted innocently, looking like I was upset that you had exposed me. Red frowned, twisted his head, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Hey, Aga, you're playing tricks again, okay, okay, but it depends on your wound healing process that does meet my standards, and you know you can't hide it from me." Of course it will satisfy you, the corners of Liu Fanxu's mouth hooked up a strange smile, if it weren't for worrying that it was too unreasonable, she could even make that knife edge not even trace tomorrow.
Red saw her smile happily, moved his lips, and continued, "Besides, you don't have to be in such a hurry, I won't be going back to Quantico for a while. Liu Fanxu was stunned, she pursed her lips and didn't ask why Red didn't return to Kuntik for the time being, he was not with his teammates, but stayed by her side all the time, maybe he got a long vacation from Hodge, maybe it was something else. In any case, she will not interfere with Red's decision. And she knew for sure that he would go back to BAU eventually. Her instincts were to tell her that Red belonged to BAU, and that he was part of it. No matter what happens in the future, no matter how much pain he will experience at BAU, no matter whether his teammates choose to leave or not, Red will be the one who sticks to the end. He was always a stubborn child, and what didn't change was that she would always be by his side.
Raised her hand and poked Rhett's bulging cheek, he looked like a coquettish child when he was asleep, the tips of his left fingers were firmly held in his palm, she didn't pull out her fingers that had been soaked with sweat, she looked at the outline of his facial features, and the satisfaction in her heart drowned out all the pessimism. She squirmed her lips silently and said silently: I swear, Spencer, I will protect myself. Because the current Liu Fanxu is no longer the wandering spirit who fought alone in the dark after the mentor left. She had Red, her life tugging at his heart, and she had promised him that she would always be with him, so she would never let him witness her death again. Professor Dumbledore was right, as long as she lived, she still had a chance.
The great joy of the loss buried Red's shyness, so when he woke up by Liu Fanxu's side the next morning, he took the initiative to kiss her forehead. Liu Fanxu blinked,
Now Liu Fanxu knows that the most painful thing is not necessarily when he is in pain, but now he is looking at Rhett's worried eyes, and his heart is tormented. Obviously healed, but he didn't dare to tell him the truth, and he had to try to suppress his micro-expressions, hide his profile and pretend to be in pain and weak. She thought that after a long time, she would slowly accumulate enough courage to tell him that she was a wizard. But the truth is the opposite, as time goes by, she falls in love with him, and will love him more and more, which only exacerbates her fear of the truth, her fear of his reaction when he knows the truth, and her fear that he will not be able to forgive her for a series of deceptions in order to fulfill her lies. Yes, deception.
It turned out that lying was a heavy burden, and with a deep sense of guilt, she looked into Red's eyes and said as if nonchalantly, "Spencer, do you believe that there are wizards in this world?" Red frowned, his lips slightly hooked, revealing a doting smile, "I know, Aga, you've been studying alchemy lately, and you're fascinated by this. Well, don't blame you, Newton once devoted most of his life to this subject, and spent the rest of his life using mathematics and physics to prove whether God really exists. I don't mean to say he's wrong, and I'm not saying you're wrong too. All I can say is that I don't know, there are many things in this world that we can't explain, I can't use science to prove the absoluteness of things, and from a philosophical point of view, there is no right or wrong in the world-"
"So, you mean, it's not that you don't believe it, but that you are skeptical because you haven't seen it with your own eyes?" Liu Fanxu quickly summarized what he meant, she was too eager to know his opinion on these unknown things, so she interrupted him, losing her usual calm, which had never happened before. Red was obviously also aware of Liu Fanxu's impatience, he frowned and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you, Aga, do you really care so much about this topic?" She didn't look away, she looked directly into Red's eyes, uneasy but pretending to be calm, "No, I'm just suddenly curious, what would you do if I were a witch, Spencer, would you think I was a demon and insisted on burning me, as the people of the Middle Ages did?" ”
Red shook his head, frowned, and corrected very quickly, "The so-called witch hunt in the Middle Ages was nothing more than the cruel torture of a group of ordinary women. At that time, women's social status was low, and men would blame women for their mistakes and weaknesses. Even because of the rudimentary productivity of the time, the over-reliance on natural factors caused by the various difficulties encountered in survival, such as famines, epidemics, natural disasters, etc., were attributed to women, and men needed an excuse to shift responsibility. Not only that, but this general crime can also be used to vent personal anger and revenge, and even cause the tragic death of a woman because of jealousy and begging. In short, in that situation, it was the wizard who would be burned to death, not the wizard who would be drowned in the lake. He looked at her because of his words, his eyes gradually dimmed, and subconsciously changed his words, "Okay, what you said is a hypothesis, it's nothing, although it's very unscientific." But, I want to say, no, I won't burn you to death, how can you think that I will send you to the gallows for a stupid reason and watch you burned alive? That's stupid, Agha! ”
