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.
"You're a smart girl" Gordon glanced at Rhett next to him with a blank face, he was still immersed in the sentence just now, Gordon turned his head to look at Liu Fanxu, "I can't refuse you." But you've protected him so well, aren't you worried about losing him? She smiled and bent her eyes, covering the madness in her eyes, "I am lucky, I am lost!" "No wonder, Red won't have a chance to leave her, and she won't allow that to happen, he's her only salvation.
Professor Gordon was one of the founders of BAU and was a senior agent and veteran behavioral analysis team profiler, but he is currently recuperating from BAU due to depression. However, this did not diminish his influence, and after Rhett's resume was recommended to BAU Director Agent Hodgner, Rhett was quickly called for an interview. Liu Fanxu knew about Gordon's recommendation and did not ask for Rhett's opinion, but his behavior of advocating did not cause Rhett's dissatisfaction.
Red already has some low self-esteem, and he can easily make wrong choices due to the psychological misdirection of being too unconfident, but fortunately, his IQ saved his first twenty-two years. Therefore, Rhett thinks that it is a good thing for Gordon to be able to help him point out the way forward and determine his belonging. As for Liu Fanxu, her previous request to Gordon was to hope that Red could get Gordon's asylum in the FBI. And Gordon's behavior is largely fueled by Liu Fanxu, and of course, he himself is happy to see it happen. So, it was a long sight for Rhett to join BAU as a profiler.
"Hey, Aga, are you sure I'm going to bring this?" Red frowned, looked down at the slender fingers of the bow tie in front of his collar, pursed his lips and compromised, "Okay, listen to you, you say." Do I really want to dress up like that? Liu Fanxu nodded and replied affirmatively, "Yes, Spencer, today is an important day, an interview, an interview to enter BAU, haven't you been looking forward to it for a long time?" Formal attire is a sign of the importance you attach to the interview. I thought you knew. β
"Well, I've just never dressed like this before, it makes me uncomfortable, what if I can't perform at my normal level for that reason and I'm dropped the interview?" Red blinked, looked down innocently, and looked at Liu Fanxu, who was almost lying in his arms and tying a bow tie for him, "Counting jΓΉ shows that people are more conducive to communication in a relaxed environment." She looked up with a smile and admired his beautiful brown eyes up close, not missing the evil smile that flashed under his eyes, she understood that he was playing a prank again, "This mass number does not include you, Spencer, the more high-pressure the environment, the more sober and quick-minded you are, and naturally you will not crush the intelligence of all beings because of the environment." β
She slapped her pretty bow tie and tucked the hem of her tie into his sweater vest. Red touched his neck and uncomfortably followed Liu Fanxu to the hanger, and grinned happily when he saw her stuffing a bottle of lactose into his messenger bag. She glanced back at him, amused by his salivating expression, "Spencer, you really like it." Red smiled and frowned, and replied as a matter of course, "No way, I can't quit, I'll just take this mouth." She nodded, and helped him buckle the messenger's bag, "Then don't drink coffee, well, at least drink as little as possible, I know every FBI office is equipped with this." β
"Listen to you~I've always been very good~" Rhett smiled and looked at her casually. She knew that he wasn't referring to coffee, so she reluctantly took the scarf off the hanger and put it around his neck, and said apologetically, "Spencer, are you still feeling sorry that I changed your messenger bag?" I'm sorry, I didn't know that old-looking backpack was given to you by your mom. At least I haven't thrown it away yet, well, I just want you to look a little more mental. Sorry without your consent. β
"What?" Rhett frowned suspiciously, "No, it's not" He shook his head violently, looking at Liu Fanxu, who was pulling his scarf with both hands and hanging his head pitifully, his eyes widened in surprise, "I mean, it's not what you think, I'm not angry because of the messenger bag, hey, didn't we say okay?" It's all up to you. She raised her head, stared into his eyes, and asked aggrievedly, "Then why are you wandering?" All I know is that you've been like this since I replaced your messenger bag the day before yesterday. She blinked, lowered her eyes, pouted, and shook the scarf in her hand obediently, "Okay, I know, now is not the time to talk about this, you still have an important interview, I shouldn't bother you with this question." β
Rhett's brown eyes flashed with pity, he stretched out his arms and hugged Liu Fanxu into his arms, his chin against the top of her hair, and his fingers rubbed the satin hair she draped behind him, "No, okay, I'm actually thinking about Mom, I want to introduce you to her, but I don't know if you want to, I don't know how to speak." Because his mother was a schizophrenic, he wasn't sure that Liu Fanxu would be willing to go with him to see her, he was afraid to see Liu Fanxu's eyes of rejection and disgust, and he was afraid to hear Liu Fanxu's refusal.
"Spencer, you want to introduce me to your mother, how could I refuse?" She closed her eyes, her forehead pressed against his collar, the tip of her nose rubbed against his tie, which she had just put on him, and the corners of her mouth raised high, "I'm sorry, I should have thought of it, if I wasn't so slow, you wouldn't have to be upset for so long." Red blinked, the smile spread little by little, from his slightly moist eyes to the whole face, he exhaled softly, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile, "No, I should say sorry, I actually doubt the life you handed over to me because of this incident." They're complete, right? β
Hearing Red's words, Liu Fanxu's eyes trembled slightly, complicated flashed in her eyes, she lowered the corners of her mouth, pursed her lips, and the guilt in her heart burned and cramped again and again. No, Spencer, there was a little flaw in the life she had given him, and that was who she was and her past, that she was a wizard and that she was going to do. However, she can't sue him now, I'm sorry, silently said sorry ten thousand times in her heart, but could only say the whitewashed words "Yes, Spencer, believe me." β
Red put on his woolen coat and leaned over to kiss her on the center of the eyebrow, "Good luck to me!" Liu Fanxu smiled and closed her eyes to greet him, she patted his arm, "Good luck~"
Sending Red away, she sat back on the couch and picked up the brick book on the tea table, a specialized book about ancient alchemy, the only one she had recently picked up from the black market, or a β‘β‘ that had been subjected to a lot of dark magic. She rubbed the spine of the book with a faint smile on her face, she just erased the dark magic from the book to prevent it from hurting Red, who also loved books, but did not hide its contents. Rhett had just spoken about the existence of alchemy at the dinner table, and it was clear that he had already read the book. Liu Fanxu admits that she has ulterior motives, and she is impregnating her boy little by little with the books of the magical world until the day when she is confident enough to tell him the truth.
Agent Hodgner sat in his office chair, his hands on the desk, naturally clasped together, his deep features, expressionless face, the most striking thing was the eagle-like eyes. And now they are hiding behind the towering and furrowed brow bones, with a pin-and-needle gaze, directly locked on his prey. He scrutinized Span Seraed.
After Red knocked on the door and walked into the office, he was observing, Rhett was wearing a carefully selected shirt today, with a suitable tie, an expensive scarf, a wool vest that was warm enough, just the right amount of slacks, comfortable and versatile sheepskin boots, and a woolen coat that reflected his status, if his eyes could be a little more confident. As far as he knew, Red wasn't good at dressing up, although he didn't take the interview seriously enough to make him change his usual style of dressing.
Yes, Hodgner had already met Span Sred, and in fact, he would have planned to pull him into the BAU if it hadn't been for Gordon's recommendation. The frustrated boy at the FBI Academy, who was always in the field, in a plaid shirt, a loose sweater, and an old messenger's bag, looked like the well-dressed boy in front of him. Hodgner laughed in his heart, Rhett's outfit should be the credit of that girl, Gordon mentioned her, a smart but extremely protective genius. Ha, another genius, it seems that the two are really as worthy as Gordon said, and there is nothing to say.
"A nice scarf, a gift from my girlfriend?" Hodchner's expression relaxed, he stopped pressing, so the whole person seemed much more kind than just now. Red quietly breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that this boss was really too harsh, seeing that he finally spoke, he subconsciously responded, "Yes, Een" He cleared his throat, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was a little embarrassed. Hodgner said in his heart, sure enough, as Gordon said, Red didn't think about this problem, he didn't know how to position his relationship with that girl. He was about to change the subject, but Red said again, "Actually, I don't know if she's my girlfriend, I hope it is, but I'm not sure, okay, I don't dare ask." β
"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.
