4. Four

>> Adversity is like a strong wind, tearing off our coats but not our hearts, so that we can see our true selves.

"Can I buy some yogurt to drink?" Liu Fanxu pointed to a row of yogurt in the freezer at a constant temperature, and asked a little greedily, "Just buy a little, okay?" Red shrugged and graciously took a few bottles from the freezer shelf, which she had been staring at all along. She smiled contentedly, stood on her toes happily, reached out with her left hand to hold Red's right cheek, and pouted and took a sip on his left cheek. He stiffened suddenly, then turned his head with his eyes glared, and Liu Fanxu innocently met his wet eyes, "Thank you for the kiss!" ”

When Rhett heard Liu Fanxu's words, his staring eyes slowly returned to their normal size, and the two eyeballs rolled around. Liu Fanxu blinked her eyes, slowly lowered her head, her eyes drooped slightly, and her long eyelashes blocked the light flowing under her eyes. Red coughed lightly, and then spoke very quickly about the edibility and practicality of yogurt, and dictated the paper that did not end in sight. Liu Fanxu grinned silently, of course she could hear the nervousness revealed by his slightly vibrasive voice when he first spoke. Dragging Rhett through a variety of fruit and vegetable ingredients, occasionally interrupting Rhett's dictation paper to ask if he liked the ingredients in her hand, and after receiving a brief response from him, he continued his broken thoughts as she continued her audition. The two tacitly agreed with the way they gradually explored to get along, and they were happy with such a pressure-free mode.

Liu Fanxu clicked on the ingredients in the shopping cart and nodded with satisfaction. Red puffed out his cheeks beside her, looking at the various fruits and vegetables that were packed into the bag in confusion, "What are we going to eat tonight?" Could it be that interrupting the speech and caring about mundane things, or using such a simple question, Liu Fanxu smiled and lifted the bag handed over by the cashier, "Do you like Chinese food?" Rhett took a bag from Liu Fanxu's hand, and the two of them carried it one by one, "I look like it very much, but I haven't eaten it, the Chinese restaurant is too far from here, and I heard that it is still very expensive, so I didn't think about going there to just taste the food in those pictures." Of course, China, as an ancient country with a 5,000-year-old civilization, has a more unique concept in any aspect, and I am very interested, and I have read a lot of ancient Chinese books, which are very esoteric but all great, I mean"

"Big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate" Liu Fanxu suddenly thought of such a poem, when he saw it earlier, he also imagined how beautiful that sound was, so that it has been circulated for thousands of years and is still talked about. Now, listening to Red's briskly pace, she suddenly felt that it was appropriate. didn't want to let go, Liu Fanxu slowly hugged his arm, not wanting to let go. Maybe Malfoy was right, she still remembered his arrogant posture, standing in front of the fireplace, stretching his arms, and tilting his chin arrogantly, even at that time, Mr. Malfoy was sent to Azkaban, he still looked down on everyone with his arrogance from the soul, when the children who were once obscure, subservient to Malfoy, and from the small aristocratic family dispersed from the common room, Liu Fanxu once mocked him with disdain for not knowing the times, what did he say at that time? That's right, he said: greed and unscrupulous means from the blood of the bones cursed Slytherin forever.

I don't want to admit it, but there has never been a moment when she can see the imprint of her soul more clearly than now, like Harry Potter standing by the Black Lagoon, clutching his wand and yelling at her, she is a Slytherin through and through. What happened that night? Oh, by the way, it's the goodness that she once fantasized about completely buried. In the moonless night sky, stars fell, and the white figure falling from the tower, like a sorrowful swan, stretched his body and shattered her last hope in the most unexpected gesture. And the figure standing on the top of the tower, dressed in black, almost blending into the night, was the mentor she was most familiar with, who had delivered almost all her trust. He had told her not to trust him, not to trust a Slytherin, when she didn't see clearly the hidden interests behind the other party. He used the most resolute back to cut off her last worship of him.

"Speaking of which, there was a tutor in the school who asked me to take his criminology." Red frowned, and he continued uncertainly, "I don't know if I should accept his offer, he thinks I'm a good fit to be a profiler, I'm still thinking about it, maybe, he's right." So far, no mentor has taken me seriously except him. Liu Fanxu looked at Red's tangled expression and chuckled, "Heh, Spencer, I wouldn't be surprised if you accepted his invitation just because of his attention." Red quickly glanced at Liu Fanxu's expression and puffed out his cheeks, "Why do you say that?" She shrugged her shoulders and explained lightly, "Because many of my classmates choose their coursework this way." Seeing Red's suddenly realized eyebrows, she didn't forget to continue with a bad heart, "Of course, except for me, my mentor chose me because I was good enough. He said, "I am the second genius in a hundred years besides him to have the potential to become a master of magic-apothecary." ”

Red frowned, and asked unfocusedly, "The second one?" So who was the first? Liu Fanxu was choked by his throat, she glared at Rhett, he looked back at her innocently, and then she gave up and hung her shoulders, but in less than a day, she couldn't resist his innocent brown eyes more and more. However, she wasn't sure who the man was, as she hadn't been able to get the name of the first person from Professor Snape. All she knew was that he kept a secret about him. But in the wizarding world, the only person who kept the Slytherin dean, who had always been tough and protective of his weaknesses, was the one who couldn't name him. Liu Fanxu's eyes became hollow, the look in her eyes gradually dimmed, she didn't avoid Red's probing gaze, she opened her mouth, and her voice was low, "I don't know, or rather, I'm not sure, my mentor never told me about that person." I guess he must be someone that no one wants to mention, maybe he's hated so much that he wants to forget about him completely. She suddenly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes had regained their previous luster, Red quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Fanxu knew that she had made him very worried just now, she put her head on Rhett's shoulder, their faces eased a lot, her eyes rolled, and suddenly continued, "Why don't we take your mentor's criminology together, how about it?" ”

"You mean you're going to come with me? Coming to Caltech? Rhett asked uncertainly, her voice was full of suspicion, Liu Fanxu did not feel unhappy because of his questioning, on the contrary, she smiled very mysteriously and winked at him, "I know you're a genius, Spencer, how many PhDs did you get at Caltech?" Two or three? Oh, I'm not as good as you, but I'm an MD from Imperial after all, and if I want to go to Caltech, I think I can do it. Rhett winked and grinned happily, "It's three PhDs and two bachelor's degrees, but, really? Liu, that's great, I mean, are you really going to be with me? Liu Fanxu also blinked and grinned, "It depends on whether you accept the invitation or have other plans." ”

Red hung his head, quiet in thought. Liu Fanxu tilted his head, and his gaze stopped at the side of his face. Maybe just a few minutes later, Liu Fanxu was not sure, she saw Red move her lips, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I have the idea to join the FBI with Ethan, well, Ethan is my friend in Las Vegas, did I say I'm from Las Vegas?" She shook her head and nodded, "Now that you've said it, should I try to join the FBI?" Maybe we can work together. "Yes, we must be able to work together, Liu Fanxu unconsciously hooked the corners of her lips, she is a very powerful wizard.

"That's amazing, Liu! I thought you wouldn't want to be with me. Rhett's happy eyebrows fluttered, "Still, I'm going to introduce you to Gordon, oh, Gordon is the mentor who invited me to take his criminology, he's a very good guy, did I mention that?" He's an FBI senior agent, part of BAU, a terrific veteran profiler, and in fact one of the founders of BU. I want to be an agent like him more than I accept an invitation to study criminology, so you'll be with me, right? Liu Fanxu's right eyelid twitched, she was dragged into a difficult problem by Red, she is currently an unknown suspicious person, and when she didn't get her identity certificate, she actually had to be introduced to an FBI by Rhett, or a senior profiler. The feeling of pit yourself! The only thing she was thankful for was that she did have a place in Muggle society, thanks to the whim of her PhD at Imperial College, even though it was in the UK and she was now in the US. So, she just needs to solve the problem of illegal entry?

Simulation Plan 123 was running at high speed in her brain, and every feasible premise was to avoid Red and act alone, but how she could avoid Rhett, she couldn't think of a suitable reason for a while, and using magic on him was the last thing she wanted to do at the moment. The heavy mood made Liu Fanxu's whole person become cowardly. Red is still popularizing all kinds of information about BAU, and he has no time to take care of her feelings for a while. Thinking about it and having no clue, Liu Fanxu decided to put these troubles aside for the time being. Her top priority for now should be tonight's dinner, this was the first time she had put those beautiful Chinese dishes into practice, but with her precise potions master-level skills, a small dinner should be as easy as making a pot of scabies potion.
