45. Forty-five

We come from the sea, and when we return to the sea, whether we sail or look at it from afar, it is as if we have found a home in the dark.

Liu Fanxu trotted to Red's side, hooked his index finger, observed his side face, shook his arm flatteringly, and answered all questions, "The second day of 'living with you'." Red turned his head to glare at her, Liu Fanxu looked up at his eyes pitifully with his mouth in his mouth, his hand was still shaking his arm, Red sighed helplessly, raised his hand to hold her cheek, carefully traced the contours of her face, and imprinted the curve of her face little by little. He sighed softly and compromised, "Okay, I understand. ”

She looked at him, her eyes gradually moistened, she took the initiative to step forward and put her arms around his back, and said in a muffled voice, "Spencer, it's good to be able to tell you the truth, it's good to be able to stop lying to you" It's good to be able to really stand with you. Rhett smiled with relief, he patted Liu Fanxu's shoulder, and his eyes inadvertently swept over the workbench, placed in an extremely conspicuous position in the center, a box carved from gloomy wooden zuò. He blinked, unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Hey, Aga, what is that, it's that box on the workbench." Liu Fanxu withdrew from his arms, looked in the direction where Red was pointing his hand, and explained with a smile, "This is the potion we are going to send today." ”

"I thought you were just using a rhetoric." Red walked over and raised his hand to touch the carvings on the surface of the box, and suddenly remembered that it was mentioned in a certain book that magical objects should not be touched lightly, and that curses and black magic were usually attached to them. He looked back at Liu Fanxu, who was following behind him, only to see her smiling at his movements, and said with satisfaction, "You are more cautious than most wizards, and I'm glad you remember the contents of those books." Rhett raised the corners of his mouth and replied with a look of 'Of course I remember', "Of course, although I didn't understand your intentions at the time, but now I know that you have carefully selected those books for me, and you have long been prepared to tell me this qiē and bring me into your life." That's why he wouldn't be angry with her, even if she was hiding something.

Liu Fanxu didn't speak, she raised her hand to caress his cheek, her eyes flashed with moving water, she lowered her eyelashes, and her fingertips swam on the carved patterns on the surface of the box, "Although I want to say that as long as I show you, it won't cause you magic damage, but for the sake of caution, you'd better be able to maintain such vigilance, because the mystery of the magical world lies in the fact that what you hear and see is not from the truth." She gave advice earnestly, and looking at his determined eyes, a smile appeared on her face again, "Do you want to open it and take a look?" ”

Red shook his head, picked up the box just to take a look, and handed it to Liu Fanxu, Nunu said, "You can't just run to the potions store for a bottle of potion, even if it's for me, you will bring enough stock, so there must be some kind of magic that expands the space in this box, am I right?" She nodded, not surprised, but rightfully aware that Red was able to guess this. I wouldn't be surprised that you could deduce this, and I always believed that if you were given a lever, you could lift the earth. Red pouted, disgruntled in protest, "I have no intention of disturbing the Earth's operations for the time being!" Well, this sentence itself is very arrogant, Liu Fanxu chuckled.

It's still the same bar, and unlike last time, she doesn't disguise herself as a dirty and evil old witch anymore. Liu Fanxu held Red's arm, and Shi Shiran led him into the world of magic. She paced gracefully and whispered to him what they had seen, from the historic dilapidated pub to the □□ wizards scattered around the corners, from the walls that would shrink to the magic shops that filled the enchanted streets, from Gringotts to the wand shops, from the bright magic streets to the dark aisles. She told him everything she knew, and then left the judgment to him, leaving it up to him to construct his first impressions of the wizarding world.

Eventually, their final destination was, unsurprisingly, the magic bookstore, and it was clear that Red wanted to learn more about the world in the same way. She followed him into the bookstore, which had been expanded by spatial magic to be three times larger than it looked, and watched him quickly flip through various historical books, but from his surprised expression, he realized that the contents of these books were familiar to him. He looked at Liu Fanxu, the smile on the corner of his mouth was helpless and doting, and unconsciously, it turned out that his Aga had done so much for him.

The wizards in Magic Street did not show any unkindness towards the arrival of Rhett, a Muggle, they were not friendly but they were not repulsive. Therefore, they had a lot of trips, and the large bags and small bags that Liu Fanxu had cast a shrinking spell were put into Rhett's pocket, and there were not only objects that he was interested in and wanted to take back to study carefully, but also souvenirs for Hodge and Morgan, of course, this was made under Liu Fanxu's friendly prompt. Just as they were discussing which store to go to next, Red's cell phone rang.

Red looked down at the phone in surprise, and then locked his eyes on Liu Fanxu's body, seeing that she just pursed her lips and snickered, raised her hand and pointed to the phone to signal him to answer the phone first. He didn't dwell on it, and when they saw the caller's name, they had already guessed what was going to happen, and they could only say that it was true, and there was a new case that needed to be rushed back to the FBI headquarters building. After Red ended the call, he was thinking about sorry, Liu Fanxu looked at him with a depressed face, and said with a smile that didn't care, "Hi, Spencer, cheer up, you are the messenger of justice who wants to fight against the evil forces!" She walked back with him as she spoke, and when she stood back in the small square courtyard behind the bar, Liu Fanxu restored the gifts he needed to bring to Hodge and Morgan, reached out to hug his waist, looked up into his eyes and said, "Spencer, look at me, don't think about anything, empty your brain." ”

Red nodded, although he was a little confused, he still did what she said, and then just for a moment, the scene in front of him was twisted into various colorful stripes, and his body seemed to be stuffed into the sewer pipe, and after a burst of dizziness and twisting, he staggered a few steps in a vain manner, and barely fell down by holding Liu Fanxu's shoulders with both hands. Stabilizing himself, he looked at his surroundings, the alley was unfamiliar, but the street beyond the alley was familiar, and he had to pass through the subway station every day. Red retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Liu Fanxu, only to see her standing beside him with a smile, the smile was like a little fox who had done something bad, he hooked the corners of his lips and said, "This is the phantom transformation mentioned in the book?" So, we're just across the road from the FBI headquarters building now? ”

Liu Fanxu nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the building not far away, blinked his eyes and said innocently, "Yes, aren't you in a hurry?" That's why I'm offering you a fast shipping service for free. She blinked again, and the expression on her face was so cute that Red couldn't bear to say a word of reproach to her. He compromised and approached her, bowed his head and kissed her lips heavily, "I'm just worried about you being discovered, forget it, you should be more cautious than me." He straightened up and dragged her hand out of the alley, "Since you're here, would you like to visit my office?" Liu Fanxu shook his head violently, pouted and refused, "No, no, I won't go there to disturb your work, I have to go home to study potions." Red stopped at the entrance of the alley, he turned to face Liu Fanxu, leaned over to meet her forehead, and whispered "I know" You just don't want to see those dark and bloody scenes with your own eyes, Red closed his eyes and paused, and then continued, "I just want to say that you won't disturb me, on the contrary" Red stopped, Liu Fanxu pursed his lips and smiled, she knew that he had understood her thoughts, so she didn't mind giving a certain amount of help, so she smiled and took his unspoken words, "When you need me, You can still call me. Although I think there will be fewer and fewer such opportunities. ”

"Why, Agha, you will always be an indispensable part of my brain." Red kissed her on the forehead one last time, quickly turned around, and strode toward the FBI headquarters building. Liu Fanxu looked at his back, and his heart was indescribably sour and sweet, this is a kind of love called Wuwei Chen Za wrapped around his heart.

The married life with Red is not much different from before, they still maintain their old habits, except that Red already knows her identity as a wizard and she no longer has to hide it from him. The work of the FBI is very busy, especially in their BAU department, which is on call day and night, regardless of holidays, and Red is often called to the office in the middle of the night by a phone call, or forced to pick a third option by a ringtone during the holidays when they are planning how to enjoy the world of two. Red is trying to balance time between family and work, and like Hodge, he spends all his time outside of work with Liu Fanxu. Even though she didn't care about his busyness, he was worried about the limits of her patience. Red is not a man who has such concerns, his personality has always been straightforward, and his brain rarely thinks about the problems of human sophistication, so Liu Fanxu guessed that the information provider who could give him hints, and Rhett was also willing to accept the prompts, should be the handsome chocolate guy Duck Morgan.

Just a few quick meetings, it is not difficult to see that Morgan is a very typical handsome American guy with high emotional intelligence. His woman's popularity should be very good, so he will have a lot of insight into women's feelings. He reminded Red that it was not out of malice, but rather that he hoped that Red would be able to grasp the happiness in his hands. Because she knew this, Liu Fanxu did not puncture his various little ideas for Rhett's advice, and she was happy to cooperate with the various farces of these two good buddies who gradually established an indestructible revolutionary friendship.

Time is like a clockwork machine, gurgling and non-stop rolling through a year in this harmonious mode of getting along. Liu Fanxu did not miss the appointment, she kept a weekly intimate correspondence with Mrs. Hudson, as Mrs. Hudson wished, and over time she also found pleasure in confiding in it, although most of the time Mrs. Hudson narrated more. On May 7, Rhett had been summoned by Hodge to leave for San Francisco the previous night because of a serial burglary, so that morning, she sat alone at the dinner table and slowly opened Mrs. Hudson's letter.

The letter recounts the trivialities of Mrs. Hudson's life this week, and thanks to this lonely wife, Liu Fanxu can even tell how many eggs are in the refrigerator in Mrs. Hudson's kitchen in England. Just when she thought it was another diary with a narrative that was not different from the previous one, a name appeared in the second half of her letter that had never appeared before—Sherlock Holmes.
