43. XLIII

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.

"Aga, why are you sitting here?" Red's voice sounded in Liu Fanxu's ears so abruptly, she slowly raised her head and looked at the man standing in front of her, leaning down slightly, looking at her with a worried look on his face under the gray sky. She raised her right hand and stroked his cheek "Spencer"

Red looked at Liu Fanxu, his eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile, he sat down next to her, raised his hand around her shoulder, and held her in his arms, she leaned sideways on his shoulder, looking comfortable, and her eyes were slightly closed. They sat quietly and snuggled up, enjoying the silence of the moment.

It wasn't until night fell that the two held hands and slowly paced home. When he walked into the hall, George not only greeted them as usual, but also raised the two letters and an administrative courier in his hand, "Liu, your letter, I want to say, congratulations." Liu Fanxu's eyes flashed with confusion, she turned her head to look at Red, he stared at the courier for a few seconds, and hooked the corners of his lips, "Thank you, George." George handed over the letter to Liu Fanxu and Rhett teased, "Well done, doctor!" Red grinned, the upper and lower rows of teeth glowed with white light, and the corners of Liu Fanxu's mouth twitched. Looking at the childish interaction of the old and the young, she shook her head helplessly, and looked down to carefully examine the letter in her hand.

The shipment was from USCIS, and Red leaned over to her and said, "UnitedStatesPermanentResidentCard," and he kissed her on the cheek, "It's not bad, I thought it would be received tomorrow." Liu Fanxu sighed and replied with a smile, "Thanks to you being a U.S. citizen, my application is not backlogged." Frustrated, she tore open the express and took out the document that proved that she had permanent residency in the United States, wondering if she could really comply with Rhett's wish and turn this temporary document into a citizenship document.

"In three years, you can apply for a change of status, and then you'll be like me. His smile made Liu Fanxu unbearable to refuse. She actually wanted to sue him very much, she really didn't care about that. It's just that she turned her head to look at his happy smiling face, and finally chose to compromise, forget it, the United States is the United States. Saying goodbye to George, the two return home, and Emma has prepared a sumptuous dinner. Rhett didn't sit across from Liu Fanxu as Emma expected, but pulled over to her side and read the rest of the letters with her. Emma hung her head, accompanied by Liu Fanxu's smile, and went back to the old house pitifully.

The letter was still from USCIS, but it was an invitation to the effect that as long as Liu Fanxu signed her name and sent it back to the designated address, she would become a legal U.S. citizen within one business day of receiving a response. Liu Fanxu frowned, looked at Rhett, raised the letter in his hand, and his eyes were full of questions. Red also frowned, he took the letter from her hand, and muttered, "I haven't looked for Gordon, and I haven't told SΓΉ Hodge about it, they don't even know we're married." Why? "Why is there such an invitation that represents special treatment?

Liu Fanxu looked down at the other letter in her hand, and when she saw the seal on the sealed edge of the envelope, she understood why she had received this invitation. She opened the cover, revealing a handwritten welcome message from the U.S. Secretary of Magic, and concluded with a request for a visit. She raised her hand and rubbed her brow, threw the letter on the table, and mentally reassessed her current situation. I chose to come to the United States because the pattern here is different from that of Europe, and they are more liberal and uninhibited. Red looked at Liu Fanxu with a distressed look, so he put down the invitation in his hand and went to get the letter that she had just put down.

Without waiting for Red to ask, she took the initiative to speak, "It's Mussel Adams, the U.S. Secretary of Magic." Red glared, "Mussel Adams is that Mussel Adams?" That Wall Street bigwig? Liu Fanxu nodded, holding his chin and looking at Red, "What's wrong?" Can't believe that the man who controls the lifeblood of the entire Wall Street economy is a wizard? His incredulous expression gradually melted into a helpless smile, and he reached out to hold her hand, his eyes flashing with a strange light, "I really can't believe that arrogant capitalist actually wrote a message of worship to my wife so respectfully." Am I overestimating that man's invincibility, or underestimating my wife's status in the wizarding world? ”

"Oh, come on, Spencer, you know it's not respectful at all, it's profit-seeking. If I had nothing now, he would immediately abandon me like a mustard, a man who only has money and power in his eyes. Liu Fanxu rolled his eyes without a ladylike image, "The game of aristocrats and capitalists." Red put down the letter in his hand, took her hand and put it to his lips to kiss it, and stared at her intently with a pair of brown eyes, "It used to be your game, right?" She looked back at him, her smile melting, and her lips trembled and murmured, "It was, and it will only be." ”

Red shook his head, he hugged Liu Fanxu tightly, and his lips were against her ear, "Aga, don't be afraid, I know, this is the rule of survival for dealing with it." He kissed her earlobe hard, "So, are you going to agree to his visit?" She closed her eyes and leaned on Red's shoulder, "No, I haven't thought it through yet. Her hands clinged to his back, and her voice was almost inaudible, "Spencer, I don't want to live like this anymore, I don't want to." Red listened to her faint wail, pursed his lips, and said firmly, "Then I won't see, Agha." ”

When Liu Fanxu heard his words, the hesitation on her face slowly disappeared, and the corners of her mouth curved into a crescent moon, "In this case, I am just an ordinary person." She said word by word, "Your career-" "Aga! Red interrupted, frowning. She chuckled and buried herself in his arms, "I'm kidding, Spencer, are you angry?" I've always known that you've never been after that, you've been able to do anything but never chase these things that have your hands on you, you've always been my hero, Spencer. ”

"No, I'm not as versatile as you say, Aga." Red shook his head, the tip of his nose rubbing against the nape of her neck "You know I'm always going to mess up a lot of things, I'm just better at remembering and learning than anyone else, that's all." My wish is very simple, I just want to be with you for the rest of my life and do what we all love. Liu Fanxu laughed lowly, she patted his back, "Spencer, who said that your EQ is in arrears?" "Obviously very good at talking, well, if he wants to. As long as he wants to, he will do anything better than others.

Rhett's mouth curled and retorted dissatisfiedly, "EmotionalQuotient refers to the qualities of a person in terms of emotion, will, tolerance of setbacks, leadership, guidance, guidance, and leadership of others or team organization. Strictly speaking, there is no obvious innate difference in emotional intelligence, and acquired cultivation is enough to affect its growth. So, it's not accurate for you to say that. Liu Fanxu held his cheeks with both hands, and said with crooked eyebrows, "Okay, my encyclopedia, your human flesh search engine, have you felt hungry, why don't we come to pay tribute to our internal organs first?" Red blinked, cupped her cheek, and kissed her lips "That's a good idea. ”

As soon as dinner was over, Liu Fanxu sat down at his desk. Red looked at her watch, she had been writing her paper for three hours. He lowered his eyes and pursed the corners of his mouth, his heart sour. He knew she was struggling, not only because of the invitation with a clear hint of goodwill, but also because of the influence he had had had on her. Yes, he already knew, and became clearer, what his Muggle status meant to her family, and that didn't mean he didn't want to think about it didn't mean that the issue no longer existed. The mere thought of her being his wife brought him great physical and mental satisfaction. But what about her? He knew she loved him, but would their marriage be blessed by the wizarding world? Will those who are watching her family put her to death because of this incident? He watched her quietly until he saw her turn the pen between his fingers for the Nth time, he got up and pulled it out of her hand, holding her cheek and facing him, "Aga, let's talk." ”

Liu Fanxu looked at Red's serious face and raised his hand to hold his hand holding her face. She didn't ask what to talk about, or how he saw it. She knew her little habits, and she knew they had been interpreted by Red. She smiled and lowered her eyelashes, "Well, I can't always restrain these habits, even if I know they will give away my feelings." When I'm upset, I keep writing papers without a table of contents, and when I'm sorting out countermeasures, I turn the pen between my fingers uncomfortably, is there anything else I haven't noticed? ”

Red smiled, he sat down on the back of the couch, lifted his feet and hooked her sliding wheelchair to him, his feet under the two armrests of the sliding wheelchair, he leaned close to her, his hands on her cheeks. Her elbows rested on his knees, her hands on his wrists, and she looked at his close brow, tracing the face that had been etched into her soul.

It was a conversation, but neither of them spoke. They maintained this posture, looking at each other in pairs, as if that was enough to convey to each other the thousand words that were tumbling and boiling in their hearts. The sigh that overflowed from the edge of his lips was the heart that filled his chest. Red chuckled, looking into her eyes, tender and scorching, for the hesitation that had just lingered in his heart. Is it worth it? Love, I don't ask if it's worth it or not, I love you, it's enough. Why do you need so much messy thinking? Now that his Aga has made his choice, all he has to do is support and connivance.

"Can you accompany me to Magic Street tomorrow? I have a batch of potions to deliver to the potion shop. Liu Fanxu looked into his eyes and asked word by word.
