Lestrade was a man of his word, and since he said he would not speak to Mycroft for a week, he had to keep his promise. A week after Mycroft's confession, Lestrade really ignored Mycroft's save, not to speak, but the chances of the two of them sitting together were very small. And no matter what McCroft wanted to talk about, Lestrade would only answer with a hmm-hmmh

Mycroft was also helpless, he could be regarded as a wrong step, and Ancia also said that if he had shown his heart at the beginning, there would not have been so many things now. Mycroft apologized solemnly, but Lestrade was like a child in his temper, no matter how much Mycroft tried to coax him, or to give a small gift, it was useless, and the two of them did not speak but made the house a lot quieter for a while.

For the change between the two people, that is, the sluggish Sherlock on weekdays, Sherlock is often absent from home, after all, this is McCroft's home, and the small grievances between him and Mycroft are not clear in a sentence or two, if it weren't for the excitement, Mycroft ran away as early as when the Reisdord family moved.

As Sherlock, who only occasionally appears at dinner, he finally discovers the strange aura between Lestrade and Mycroft through his own observations.

Sherlock probably knew something, he wanted to make fun of his brother Mycrof, who was always a strategist, but before Harry could say anything, they gestured to Sherlock and told him not to ask anything.

Sherlock thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, knowing that the little Lestrades would give him a satisfactory answer, about the "embarrassment" between Mycroft and Restride.

Harry, the reason why they stopped Sherlock from laughing at Mycroft was not because they sympathized with the self-inflicted Mycroft, but because they were worried that if Sherlock's taunting tone was opened, in case it could not stand it, and the two of them would try their best to reconcile, to be honest, Lestrade just said that he would ignore Mycroft for a week, which was already very short, and they would not be happy if Harry was shortened.

In fact, Lestrade just wanted to express his unhappiness, and by the way, remind McCroft of what the consequences would be if he intervened in other people's affairs.

When Harry and the others told Sherlock about Mycroft and Lestrade, they saw Sherlock holding his chin and looking clear, it turned out that Inspector Lestrade, who was not a goldfish, still had such emotional intelligence, and he was able to play Mycroft around, to be honest, the only two people in the world who can deceive Mycroft except for his younger brother are Lestrade.

"The detective deceived the dead fat man? It seems that the dead fat man has complete trust in him. ”

In the final analysis, it is actually a matter of trust, Sherlock smacked his tongue He knew that McCroft Dead Fat Holmes trusted Greg Lestrade, it should be said that he trusted him very much, but he didn't expect to trust Cheng Dù, who didn't doubt him at all. Fortunately, Lestrade is not a bad person, let alone an ambitious person, otherwise...... Mycroft's safety was in jeopardy.

"In general, Dad thinks that Mr. McCroft has gone too far this time, so he wants to teach him a big lesson not to meddle in other people's affairs."

Harry was very serious, and Lestrade had this attitude, but Sherlock actually laughed as soon as he finished speaking, "Lesson? Believe me, the dead fat man will never know what a lesson is, he is a very controlling person, and Inspector Lestrade should get used to it instead of trying to break the dead fat man's outlook on life and morality. ”

But even if Mycroft is a person who can't change lightly, Sherlock is still extremely looking forward to what will happen between the two of them, and finally there is someone who can turn the mess of Mycroft, the nasty ghost, and Sherlock Holmes, if it weren't for the wrong time and place, Sherlock would have wanted to celebrate.

"Desire to monitor? It seems that Mr. McCroft is really in need of a psychotherapy. ”

Harry spread his hands and looked at Hannibal, who glanced at Will beside him and said meaningfully, "Looks like I'm going to need to charge Mr. Mycrof a lot of money for his treatment." ”

It was Hannibal's glance that made Will feel his hairs stand on end, and he began to judge whether Hannibal knew something, or if he was used to looking at it. The words of the former were terrifying, and the words of the latter he could at least deal with, but Hannibal just glanced at him, and the words before and after uniting them were probably habitual. Will did not dare to take it lightly, and he began to calculate in his mind when it would be better to confess, or wait until the day when Hannibal asked.

If you confess yourself, it probably belongs to surrendering, there is a saying that it is good to confess leniently and resist strictly, that is, a police station like Scotland Yard will also give a little bit of a small back door when facing the person who surrendered, Will is calculating in his heart what to do, and the most uncertain thing for him is whether Hannibal knows that he is pretending to have amnesia.

Hannibal glanced at Will's expression again, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart, in fact, it was impossible for Will to calculate him in psychological warfare, after all, he was a psychiatrist, wasn't he.

Soon Will will voluntarily admit that he has a memory, Hannibal is so convinced.

Anyway, a week passed, and Mycroft had a feeling of coming back to life, and he began to tentatively say good morning to Lestrade, who thought that the man was still angry and wouldn't take care of himself, but who knew that Lestrade looked him up and down for a while before showing a shallow smile, "Okay, good morning, Mr. British Government." ”

Although it is not named, the term British government is even more ambiguous when it is called out by Lestrade.

"Then I wonder if today's dear Mr. Inspector of the Scotland Yard Murder Unit will accept my invitation to work with me?"

On the first day, Mycroft didn't know that he had been deprived of the opportunity to go to work with Lestrade, and when he was about to go out of the house, he drove away in a car at the door of his villa, leaving him with only the exhaust of the car. Now, after McCroft found out that Lestrade was talking "kindly" to him, he made a further invitation.

McCroft thinks Lestrade must know that he is courting him, as he had made a formal confession a week earlier that he had told Lestrade that he liked him.

It's not that he doesn't want to say the word "love", it's just that Mycroft thinks that this word really carries too many things, and he can't say anything, and liking is already the most important emotion in his heart.

"Yes, if you can keep up with me." As he walked out of the kitchen with his breakfast, Lestrade turned to Mycrof, who was the only one in the house who had gotten up, and said, "Bring your breakfast yourself, and by the way I have a meeting this morning." ”

By the way, Lestrade also prepared breakfast for Mycroft, and lately the bears were getting up late, and school was about to start, and Lestrade couldn't bear to wake them up so early, so he let them go to sleep, so because of Lestrade's indulgence, he and McCroft were the only ones who ate breakfast at home. Reestrade said he had a meeting this morning, and combined with what he had just said, Mycroft immediately understood what he meant, and Reestrade was reminding him that he was going to be leaving early today, and that he would have to speed up if he wanted to go together.

The two of them sat on opposite sides of the table, and from time to time McCroft peeked at Lestrade eating.

I don't know why such a normal morning makes him feel happy, even a sense of home, after coming out of his parents' house/McCroft rarely calls a place "home", these are at most just houses, but now he is willing to call it "home", the people he likes sit opposite, they can get up every morning to say good morning to each other, and he can taste the breakfast that Lestrade prepared for him alone, In exchange for them going to work, he will work as a driver. And when they have nothing to do, they will sit in any corner of the house to chat, hook hands and even kiss.

"Hey, Mycroft, what are you thinking?"

Mycroft's fantasy was interrupted by one of the parties, and McCroft put down the utensils in his hand to wipe his mouth with a napkin and said, "Nothing, just some little fantasies, let's go." ”

Fantasy? Lestrade picked up his coat and followed behind Mycroft, what kind of fantasy could make Mycroft show such a happy and distressing smile, this smile made Lestrade want to find out.

Both of them were up Sherlock was exhausted, Mycroft's love for Lestrade was more indulgent than before, before because Lestrade didn't find his feelings McCroft still had some restraint, but now his eyes were about to stick to Lestrade's body, Sherlock yawned, the early bird has worms, the "bugs" have eaten him or go back to make up for sleep, recently Butts Hospital has become more and more boring, he is ready to give himself a day off.

In fact, it's not just the bear children but also Sherlock who knows that McCroft and Lestrade are awkward, and everyone at Scotland Yard also knows, who called Lestrader before he really didn't know how to converge, the two of them often go to work together and get off work together, and the two of them are so good together that it's difficult not to be noticed. So on the third day of the two people's awkward quarrel, Donovan couldn't resist the sound of gossip below him to verify Reestrade, who didn't say anything at that time and passed with a haha, but never doubt a woman's intuition, Donovan found that Reestrade's eyes flickered a little when he mentioned Mycroft, and it was obvious that he was quarrelling.

So this time, when Lestrade got out of the car and waved to the man sitting in the cab, everyone at Scotland Yard knew that the two had reconciled.

Mycroft Holmes's evaluation in Scotland Yard is always much higher than that of his little brother Sherlock, there is no way, who calls Mycroft a very good person, he knows when to give a small gift to Lestrade's colleagues, and knows how to face them, although it is also arrogant but not annoying.

The ladies of Scotland Yard who witnessed the goodbye of Lestrade and Mycroft quickly spread the news, and everyone was curious about the feelings of Scotland Yard's first single dog, as well as the "flower of Scotland Yard" Lestrade, Donovan raised her eyebrows when she heard the news, she once told herself that the freak was a freak, and the freak's brother Mr. McCroft was Mr. Mycroft, and the two of them could not be mixed up.

Then she winked ambiguously at Lestrade and said, "Boss, it seems that you have reconciled with that Mr. Holmes?" ”

"Reconcile?" Probably Donovan's eyes were too ambiguous, so Reistrade immediately explained that the two were not lovers, "Sally, did you misunderstand something?" Made? We do have a little argument, but this reconciliation is definitely not what you think in your heart, we are not lovers. ”

"Boss, you don't have to worry, we're all supportive, even if your other half is the brother of a bastard freak, there's nothing wrong with that."

Lestrade was glad he wasn't drinking, or he might have squirted, how on earth did they see that he and Mycroft were in a relationship? At a time when they didn't show their hearts?! It's not scientific!

In fact, Lestrade didn't know that his cheeks were slightly red at this time.

"Boss, you two can't wait to stick together every day, aren't you in love? And your blush, Greg. ”

Donovan and Lestrade are friends and call each other by their names on weekdays, but given their identities and their presence there, Donovan only calls them that way when he jokes about Lestrade. Lestrade dragged the man to dinner, rubbed his cheeks, and stole a glance in the mirror to see if it was really as red as Donovan had said. He was seriously thinking about what Donovan had just said, had they already expressed their feelings for each other before that? It's obvious that it's been discovered, it's like a joke.

But it is undeniable that when Lestrade heard them say that he and Mycroft were lovers, he was a little shy and happy.

Reistrade completely believed what McCroft said when he confessed, and he believed that Mycroft liked him, and since the Sherlock Holmes brothers never said love, liking was already their highest standard. Sometimes Lestrade also feels that he is satisfied, and he conquers himself just by a liking from Mycroft.

Now that there is not even a layer of window paper between the two of them, Mycroft shows his heart and starts a more gradual pursuit of him, and although Lestrade does not say that he likes Mycroft, the qiē that he expresses is already a good illustration.

Let Mycroft be his other half, Lestrade didn't think about it before, but now he has seriously thought about it. In fact, after so many blind dates, McCroft is indeed the person who is most suitable for him, he has a lot of unique temperament, the most important thing is that the bear children's acceptance of him is also greatly beyond Lestrade's imagination. Harry and the others deal with McCroft externally, but at the end of the day, they still identify people as their own family, and they are the kind of family that only they can bully.

There was no case recently, and Lestrade was in deep thought and couldn't extricate himself or bother him, and it wasn't until his mobile phone rang before he got off work that Lestrade broke free from the stunt of the afternoon. There is no need to look at the only one who called at this time, his heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, and he grabbed the mobile phone with both hands and cleared his throat vigorously and said, "McCroft? ”

Lestrade tried to make his voice sound as normal as possible, not ambiguous in it.

"Dear Greg, I've arrived, waiting for you."

When Lestrade went downstairs, he thought that Mycroft must have skipped work early, or he wouldn't have left work so early, but then he thought about how Mycroft, who was called the man of the British government, would have had time to restrain him.

To pursue a person is to have the appearance of a suitor, which is what Ancia told Sù McCroft.

In view of the fact that the two of them are too ambiguous, if Mycroft can't make a little sublimation, he and Lestrade will not have any changes, before Mycroft belonged to the disguised sù to tell everyone that he and Lestrade are a couple, of course, that was when Mycroft had not confessed, but now that he confessed that he liked it, he can't be the same as before.

When Lestrade got into the car, Mycroft put a finely packed pudding into Lestrade's arms.

"Dessert, strawberry pudding, I'm sure you'll like it, my Inspector."

Lestrade looked at the pudding in his arms and then at Mycroft, and thought to himself, could it be that Mycroft was pursuing himself? Giving a small gift like this makes Lestrade feel a sense of disobedience in it.

"So you're pursuing me?"

Mycroft knew that Reestrade was pretending to be stupid, and he only needed a glance to be able to see it, but even if Reestrade was pretending to be stupid, McCroft had to bear it, he nodded while driving, yes, he was chasing Reistrade, anyway, it was already like this, and he didn't need to hide it.

"Shouldn't I be flattered, courted by the British government?"

That's what Lestrade said, but there was no flattering in his tone, but it was all a joke about Mycroft.

"I've said it before, I like you, Greg, and you can't stop me from pursuing you."

They stopped at the traffic light, and Mycroft looked ahead and said with a serious face that he needed a chance to pursue Lestrade.

"Of course, of course, if I restrict your pursuits, I will limit human rights. And thank you for the little pudding, I loved it. ”

Reestrade decided to give Mycroft a little sweetness, if he scared people away, he would regret it, as a little pudding, Reestrade quickly came to McCroft's side, dropped a kiss on his cheek, and then saw Reestrade scratch his face with his hand and said, "Don't think too much, this is just a thank you for it." ”

A pudding in exchange for a kiss, and Mycroft thought it was worth it, and if it weren't for the limitations of his status, Mycroft would have liked to fill his home with sweets so that he could get a few more kisses.

The two of them hadn't spoken since that red light, they weren't arguing, they were just thinking about what was going on.

Mycroft wanted to break through Reestrade's defense step by step and make him accept his deposit, but until now McCroft didn't know that Reestrade liked him, and he didn't know whether to say that Mycroft trusted Reestrade too much, or that Reestrade's deception was too masterful.

"That's right."

"What?"

Suddenly, their silence was broken, and it was McCroft who wanted to go on a date with Lestrade, anywhere, just the two of them.

"Dear Inspector Lestrade, may I have the privilege of inviting you to a date with me? Just this weekend. ”

Before, Mycroft would not say anything about love, or liking or dating, but now that the words are all said, it is the first time that Lestrade knows that Mycroft still has this kind of appearance in private.

Appointment?

Lestrade was unexpectedly expectant, he pretended to think seriously for a while, and then nodded reluctantly, "Of course, how can I not appreciate the light of the British government." ”

And so before Harry knew it, Lestrade gave her weekend to Mycroft and agreed to go on a childish trip with him.

It was too late for Harry to know the news, and Lestrade seemed to have packed himself up and sent it to Mycroft waiting for him to open the gift, Harry sighed on the couch for a long time, he didn't know how long their Dad would be able to hold out without being taken by Mycroft, and according to the way Mr. McCroft Holmes attacked, Lestrade really couldn't hold on for long.

They had set up a date for the weekend at the amusement park, which Lestrade had brought up, and he thought that the Holmes brothers must have never been to such a place, and one of the parties, Mycroft, could only smile and agree, despite a thousand refusals in his heart.

On a weekend morning, Reistrade stood in the kitchen doorway in his tracksuit and waited for Mycroft, looking the same as usual, but dying of joy in his heart.

And today is their first date after Mycroft's confession, and the meaning is very heavy.

With Reistrade and McCroft's first date, the playground tour is about to begin.
