The most painful tears flowed from the grave, for the words that had not yet been spoken and the things that had not yet been done.
"I thought you were close." Hodgner raised an eyebrow, he didn't expect Red to take the initiative to talk about it, he thought Red really didn't know anything. Apparently Rhett was also confused about the matter in his mind, and he happened to be his listener at this time.
"Yes, but I think she feels more like family to me." Red frowned, hung his shoulders in frustration, and said very quickly, "This is different from what is written in the book, I have read it specifically, she doesn't have the appearance of those girls, such as spring heart sprouts or other reactions, I can't be sure, she said she likes me, but her liking for me is the kind I hope?" I didn't want her to leave me, and I was scared to break our current relationship. Hi, why am I talking to you about this! ”
"Because you need help." Hodgner smiled, stood up and held out his right hand to Red, "Welcome to BAU, Agent Red." Red quickly jumped up from his chair, he stared at Hodchner's right hand for a few seconds, and then hesitantly reached out to hold Hodchner's hand, pursed his lips and corrected, "Don't call me Detective, call me Doctor, Dr. Spencerred." Hodgner smiled, nodded, and submissively changed his words, "Okay, Dr. Red." Red immediately withdrew his hand, frowned, pursed his lips, and asked in a tangled voice, "Then what should I do?" Hodchner looked down at the file on the table, heard Red's inquiry, and looked up, "What?" Red's brow furrowed even tighter, "What should I do about Aga?" Hodchner smiled, "Aga is her name?" Well, you just have to be like this and get along with her in the way you are most comfortable. Red pouted and asked rhetorically, "Let it be?" Hodgner nodded, "Let it be." ”
Hodgner saw Red let out a breath and said to himself, that girl loves you deeply, she wants you to live in the most comfortable way, they have no right to go against the girl's wishes, obviously she is right. Red grinned, his eyes clear, his smile sincere, pure incredible. Hodgner suddenly understood why Gordon and the girl were protecting him, and the boy was worth it. He looked down and chuckled, there would be more things to do in the future, for the sake of his group.
"Gordon, you know, he's on sick leave, he's out of the team for a while, and now it's just me and another agent in the BU" Hodchner led Red out of the office, and they descended the escalator and walked straight to a desk where a chocolate-skinned young man sit. He saw them coming, stood up, his eyes looking up and down Red, and Hodgner reached out and introduced "Duck Morgan" to Red, then pointed to Rhett and introduced to Morgan, "Dr. Spencer Red, we're our teammate from today onwards." ”
"Hi, welcome!" Morgan grinned and bared a mouthful of white teeth, and stretched out his right hand with a smile. Red frowned and stared at his hand without moving, Morgan thoughtfully changed to wave, Red breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and looked at Morgan "Hi~" Hodchner smiled, pointed to the partition desk in the office area in a group of four and said, "Just pick one, our group is currently short of manpower, you have the opportunity to choose your favorite location." Red shrugged and grabbed the strap of his messenger bag, "Okay, thank you." Hodgner nodded one last time, turned and walked briskly down the steps down the aisle back to his office.
Red watched Hodchner's back disappear behind the door, then turned to look at Morgan, pursed his lips uncomfortably, and gestured behind him with his thumb, "Can I sit there?" Morgan smiled and raised his hand to pat Red's shoulder, but felt him dodge slightly, "Hodge didn't say it, you can pick and choose." Rhett forced himself to accept the closeness of his new colleague, and he looked up at Morgan uncomfortably, pursed his lips, and his eyes wandered "Sorry, I mean I'm not very good with strangers, of course now we're colleagues, okay, I mean-" "It's okay, hey, we're teammates, from today onwards, we're brothers born and died together, so there's no need to explain, I know." Morgan interrupted Red, spreading his hands and smiling.
Red pursed his lips with a smile on his face, and finally met Morgan's eyes, "Thanks, Morgan." Morgan raised his hand again and patted him on the shoulder, he glanced at the scarf around Red's neck, and complimented, "Good taste, the scarf is beautiful." Red looked down at his scarf, frowned, and said, "Thanks, I think it's a bit fancy." Morgan shook his head and teased with a wicked smile, "No, no, no, it's perfect for you, haha, I knew you weren't a fashionable person, and it must be your girlfriend's credit for dressing like this, admit it, old-fashioned man." ”
Red blinked, pursed his lips and retorted, "What? No, I'm not old-fashioned at all, do you think a old-fashioned man would wear these clothes on his body? Even if it's my girlfriend's request, and besides, it's not my girlfriend yet, we're family. Morgan's smile became even worse, his arm resting on Red's shoulder, in a standard posture that the two of them had, and the words that came out of his mouth were full of teasing, "Family?" Why don't you introduce it to me? ”
Red shook off his arm and raised his voice angrily, "No, never, you guy with a yellow brain, I won't introduce Aga to you." Morgan squinted his eyes and suddenly realized, "Oh, so her name is Agha, a good name." Rhett turned around angrily, refusing to speak to Morgan, he threw his messenger bag onto his desk, dragged him over a chair and sat down, sulked with his arms folded for a few seconds, and then pulled lactose and a book out of his bag.
Flipping through the pages, his frown slowly loosened, and a steaming cup of coffee lay on his desk. Red looked up strangely and saw Morgan standing beside him with a smile in his hand, and he also had a cup in his hand, apparently the one on Red's table was brought by him. Red pursed his lips and was about to bow his head, Morgan hurriedly said, "Sorry sorry, it's just a joke, I just want to say that there aren't many girls who are so good, to cherish, huh?" He raised his hand and squeezed Red's shoulder.
Red was stunned for a moment, then nodded "I know, I don't want to lose her either, I just don't know how to speak, Hodge said just let it be, I think so too." He glanced at the coffee Morgan had made for him, pursed his lips and continued, "Aga told me to drink less coffee." Morgan laughed twice and reached out to put his arm around Red's neck, "Please, this is the friendship coffee I brewed with my own hands, your Aga won't be angry with you because of this, do you want to refuse my overtures?" Red curled the corners of his mouth and pretended as he picked up his coffee, "Who knows, I'll think about it." Morgan scolded, raising his hand to ruffle Red's hair.
Liu Fanxu finished reading the book in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. This hopeless search, like looking for a needle in a haystack, once made her desperate, and even made her lose the courage to keep going. Now, she rubbed the spine of her book, obviously just as hopeless, and actually felt a peace of mind that she had never felt before, perhaps only because she was no longer in the dark.
The sound of guitar strings sounded shortly, Liu Fanxu picked up his phone, it was a message from Red: "Hi, Aga, I've passed the interview, and now I'm sitting at my desk, it feels pretty good, oh, I never thought of such a scenario, one day sitting in the office area, working with a lot of people, I thought I was going to mess things up, but they were good to me, maybe a good start." Well, actually, not as much as you think, we are now short of manpower, the whole BAU department, four sets of partitions, sixteen desks, less than half of them are sitting here. It's terrible, it means I'll be busy, I won't have time to go home for dinner every day, and I'll work late into the night. Well, I'm in the group plus Director Hodge and Gordon in sick for only four people. I wish I could do this. ”
The corners of her mouth slowly hooked, and the smile on her face couldn't stop expanding. She had worried that if Red did become a profiler, most of his energy would be focused on work, working late hours, frequent field work, and drastically reduced time together. Unconsciously, his heart would slowly drift away, and even if she was sure that his boy would not leave, she would not be able to control the alienated heart.
Perhaps, she underestimated her place in his heart. Her eyebrows were like moons, and her fingertips were beating quickly on the buttons of her phone, "Sounds good, the supervisor is easy to get along with, and your teammates are friendly, you will become good friends, I'm glad you finally got what you wanted, Spencer." ”
Not long after the message was sent, the bell rang again, and she looked down to see another extra-long message, "Well, I hope so, but my supervisor, Agent Hodge, is a very strict person, and when I first met him, I was a little scared, and guess who I thought of, my gym teacher in high school." Wow, that's so strict. However, he is a nice guy, although it seems a little difficult to get along with. Well, he gave me some advice, which I think is pretty good, and I think I'll respect him a lot. Morgan, sitting at the desk behind me, was a playboy, full of yellow scrap and boring banter with his mouth open, but he had no ill will towards me. I think maybe we'll be friends, and if he doesn't make fun of me anymore, even if the jokes are harmless, I'll be angry, and I'll fight back, don't underestimate Caltech, we're nuclear energy people. ”
