104. First blind date
Lestrade covered his eyes with one hand after Mycroft left, so Mycroft came here to tell him about a blind date?! To be honest, after experiencing a setback in the relationship, the other half of Lestrade really didn't think about those love things for the time being, who knew that he didn't think that Mycroft was in a hurry over there.
Donovan looked at Reestrade who was covering her eyes with one hand suspiciously, and then looked at Mycroft who was leaving, she put the text in her hand on Reestrade's desk, "Boss, what's wrong with you?" Feeling unwell? β
It wasn't the first time that McCroft had been here, so Donovan was still very familiar with men, and although he didn't know what his true identity was, it was certain that men were not general, so there was a sense of respect between the words. When she saw Lestrade holding his forehead with one hand, she thought he was unwell again, and she really didn't think in the direction of Mycroft.
Lestrade waved his hand when he heard Donovan's words of concern, even if he was not feeling well, it was better than now, "Don't mention it, it's hard to say." β
Donovan frowned, what else could make Lestrade show such an expression, could it be that freak's thing?
"Freak thing?"
"Oh, don't ask, let me be alone for a while."
He felt like he was frightened, Mycroft, Matchmaker, Sherlock Holmes?! This must have been a joke on him.
Donovan nodded and silently left Lestrade's office, leaning on his desk when he heard the office door close, he must have gone out the wrong way today, or the wrong way Mycroft went out.
After a moment of decadence, he stretched out a hand and touched Wen Jien, who had just been put down by Donovan, his free time was running out, so it was better to work first and put the blind date that McCroft said to mention when he went home.
Harry saw the returning Lestrade within the time he had set, and with a big smile he came to the door and said to Lestrade who was changing his shoes, "Dad, you're back!" β
Lestrade rubbed Harry's head, "yes, yes, or my little angel Harry will be worried again." β
Harry looked at the man with a smile, sure enough, sometimes he had to keep a straight face to be effective, otherwise his dearest Dad Greg Lestrade would not be obedient. Harry stretched out his hand and touched Lestrade's forehead, and when he felt that the man's condition had not recurred, he nodded with satisfaction, very well, it seems that Lestrade's recovery is indeed good, at least not in the relapse.
Lestrade bent down and picked Harry up, laughed twice, and said, "Harry, I'm completely healthy. β
"That's not necessarily, Hannibal said that there is an incubation period for viruses, and if you don't rest well, there is a high chance of recurrence."
Harry's words made Lestrade smile helplessly, he took two steps with Harry in his arms and sat down on the sofa, not only were all the bear children at home today, but Sherlock also came back early from Butts Hospital, he sat on the side and Tony didn't know what new toys were tinkering with, and the heads of the two couldn't be separated together.
"You seem to have something on your mind, dear Detective." When Sherlock stopped the real yΓ n in his hand and looked up, he looked at Lestrade and said.
Lestrade glanced at Sherlock, and said that no one would treat you as a dumb person if he didn't speak, and no one would treat you like a goldfish. Lestrade thought that Sherlock could read the meaning of his own glance, but who knows that he didn't seem to understand what Lestrade meant, and continued: "Let me wonder if Mycroft has gone to see you. β
Sherlock was still thinking about whether it was related to the ogre case, or whether it was related to the matter of finding a girlfriend for Lestrade that McCroft mentioned before, he chose to use Mycroft to test it, and sure enough, even if Lestrade wanted to hide his eyebrows, he habitually picked it, it seems that he guessed right, his dearest brother used the time when Lestrade was "letting off steam" to meet him, and probably said his own little plan, to find a girlfriend for Lestrade, who could be his wife's girlfriend.
That is to say, their dear Inspector Lestrade is ...... Scared?!
By Mycroft's little idea.
Sherlock didn't know why he wanted to laugh, it was so funny, it was obvious that dear Inspector Lestrade had no plans to find a girlfriend for the time being, but judging by the speed of McCroft's actions, this matter was probably done, which meant that he didn't have a chance to refuse at all, and it was really a McCroft Holmes-style way of doing things.
The smile on Sherlock's lips widened, and he raised his eyebrows to look at Lestrade and said, "So the dead fat man wants you to go on a blind date, and I guess he has already made all the preparations before informing you, and the typical McCroft way of doing things is so that you can never refuse." β
"You really know your brother, Sherlock!"
Sherlock is very similar to reistrid, how can he not know Mycroft, you must know that the person who knows Mycroft in the world is not their mommy, but he, who grew up under Mycroft since he was a child, McCroft's tricks and his methods Sherlock knows best, after all, they have all been used on him.
"If you live with him for a long time, you will know very well!"
Tony also raised his head from the beginning, when Sherlock said this, he subconsciously looked at Harry, only to see that Harry had already narrowed his eyes, that look very dissatisfied with what Sherlock said, so Tony immediately covered Sherlock's mouth, he thought in his heart If Sherlock is really a person who doesn't have a long memory, no wonder Dad said that he is stupider than Merlin.
Harry turned his head and glared at Lestrade and said, "Blind date?!" π₯ Are you looking for a girlfriend? β
Lestrade twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Probably...... Actually, I don't really want to. β
It's a pity that Mycroft didn't give him a chance to refuse, it should be said that Mycroft didn't want to give him a chance to refuse at all.
"What kind of people are those ladies? Was it Mr. McCroft who introduced you to it? β
Harry looked like a hundred thousand whys, so that Lestrade could only answer one question at a time, first of all, what kind of people were those ladies?
Lestrade scratched his cheek a little uncomfortably, "Actually, I haven't seen it either, and who can guarantee that people will like me." β
"Dad is a heartthrob, and those who don't like you are have bad eyesight."
Merlin threw herself into Lestrade's arms, and her hands were on her eyes, and she looked like glasses, shaking her head and tail very cutely, and Raven was not to be outdone, and followed Merlin and said, "Yes! Daddy is the most handsomeβ"
"Oh thank you, I hope you can still admit that your Dad is the most charismatic."
Hannibal raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lestrade, saying nothing to Raven, but it was interesting to say it to Merlin, and I don't know if he was thinking too much.
Loki sneered, "If you don't admit it, you can pretend you don't know them." β
It's really rare that Loki can say such intimate words, and his meaning is very clear, if Merlin and Raven don't admit that Greg is the most attractive one when they grow up, then their names will be eliminated, which is a disguised dissolution.
Raven heard Loki's words and hugged Lestrade's waist, stuck out her tongue at Loki, and said, "Daddy will always be the most attractive and handsome!" β
For the behavior of the Lestrade family's competition for favor, Sherlock is no longer surprised, from Harry to Raven, in fact, every Lestrade has a potential father, although they are very good at protecting the short, but after some things, Sherlock found that their heart to protect Lestrade is more strict, just like the little Lestrades who almost went out as a whole after Lestrade encountered danger that time.
After that, Mycroft sued him that the poor murderer of the humanoid doll case was never in his right mind, and the poor man took a fancy to a prey that pierced his hands, and eventually put himself in it.
Something flashed through Sherlock's mind, he didn't catch him, he stopped the movement of his hand and dragged his chin to think, he seemed to ignore something, but what was it......
Lestrade smiled and kissed Merlin and Raven, the two of them are the most clingy, if you don't praise it, you don't know how you will lose your temper.
This was followed by Harry's second question, "I think it's what Mycroft wants to introduce me." β
I don't know why Lestrade was a little shy at the mention of Mycroft's name, as if some little secret had been discovered.
"So we'll have a new Mum in the future?"
"Who knows."
It's really uncertain what will happen in the future, when Lestrade and Angelia were dating, he thought about marriage very seriously, who knew that in the end they broke up, so this time he decided to take it one step at a time, and some things were thought about too early and eventually became regretful, but it only made him sad.
"Mycroft must think of every detail in his work, and I believe he has made a screening of middle-aged single women in London, and the women he chooses will be compatible with you in every way, Inspector."
Sherlock accosted at this time, and when he heard this, Lestrade twitched the corners of his mouth and replied, "That's really bothering him." β
He thought that McCroft would make something different, but what the hell was it to sift through all the women in London, if it came from someone else's mouth, maybe Lestrade wouldn't believe it, but if Sherlock said it, it would be very credible.
"Don't worry, the dead fat man will help you get ready."
Lestrade wanted to sue Sherlock, and that's why he wasn't at ease!
Lestrade didn't notice Harry's piercing eyes at all, he sat on the sidelines and snickered, he decided that he wanted to change his opinion of Mr. Mycroft Holmes, he was not a nuisance, he would take the initiative to help their Dad choose a girlfriend, he was simply a good man!
Unknowingly, Mycroft was given Harry's first Good Guy card from Lestrade.
Probably after that, Harry raised strong objections to McCroft's pursuit of Lestrade, a large part of which was because Harry initially thought that Mycroft was a good person who could help Lestrade find his other half, but who knew that in the end, Lestrade did not bring them back a Mom, but had an extra Sherlock Holmes related to the ass.
In short, Reestrade Jr., specifically Harry Potter, was encouraged by them to decide to accept this blind date, anyway, the worst plan was that all ten people would be wiped out, and he would remain single.
So Lestrade changed his mood and gladly accepted the next date, or a blind date.
The first blind date came quickly, and Mycroft said that he was going out for a small meeting afterwards, so he had to squeeze out that time to complete Lestrade's first blind date, and if he and the lady looked at each other, he could save the next nine blind dates.
Mycroft doesn't really know the steps of a blind date, but when he goes to meet a lady, he has to at least show his most handsome side, doesn't he?
So he personally prepared a set of clothes for Lestrade, which was a gray handmade suit, from the craftsmanship of the royal professional tailors, which was specially made for Lestrade by McCroft who had worked overtime to rush out.
As he was about to go to the rendezvous, Lestrade straightened his tie and said to Mycroft beside him, "Why are you more nervous than I look, Mycroft?" β
Mycroft held the small black umbrella he carried with him in both hands, and his expression was stern, as if they were waiting not to go on a blind date but to attend some kind of funeral.
"No, I'm relaxed right now."
Lestrade looked at Mycroft's shadow from the mirror and curled the corners of his lips, is this still called nervousness? Oh, really, if it weren't for the clothes, I would have thought that it was Mycroft who was going on a blind date, not him. Lestrade buttoned up his cuffs and turned to pat Mycroft on the shoulder, "Relax, I'm not nervous yet." β
"Detective, I'm just thinking about the details of this blind date, not nervous."
Okay, okay, Reistrade thought that McCroft was hard-mouthed, so he didn't refute what he said, and after everything was sorted out, he took a deep breath, "Then let's go?" Mycroft asked Lestrade for his opinion, and Lestrade reached out and made a gesture of invitation for Mycroft to leave first.
This blind date has been played out countless times in McCroft's brain, and he needs to make sure that every step will not go wrong, and he is bound to give Lestrade a perfect blind date, and he is still a little nervous, as if this is his blind date. The main reason why Mycroft has this kind of nervousness is that Mycroft has played politics and been an agent, but he is relatively thin in terms of feelings, let alone a girlfriend or boyfriend, even if he doesn't have a fixed gun/friend, so it's normal for him to be nervous.
The self-righteous Iceman and the immaculate virgin/man, the two brothers of the Sherlock Holmes family are probably not lit up in lust/lust.
"I really don't know, I thought you were going on a blind date."
Mycroft had already conceived in his mind a solution to the one hundred and first contingencies, and he promised that no matter what kind of contingency arose, it would not have any impact on the appointment, and he was fully prepared to play.
Hearing Lestrade quipped to himself where he leaned/played with the little black umbrella in his hand, "Then you are wrong, I am very relaxed now, you can rest assured that no matter what emergency arises, I can solve it." β
In fact, Mycroft didn't calculate that the final problem appeared on him, of course, this is all after the blind date is over.
On the way, Mycroft finally remembered that he hadn't introduced Lestrade to his blind date, because it was a combination of what Lestrade liked and the people he really needed, and each one looked good, and today the girl was called Eva, Eva Jane Shaw. She is a pediatric nurse who is not only very patient, but also loves children for a long time, and knows how to get their attention and get their liking.
Lestrade listened to Miss Eva's information and grew his mouth, it was strange that such a woman should not have a husband, and in this Miss Eva Shaw's information she had only been in love once.
"It's just ...... It's amazing that such a girl doesn't have a boyfriend? β
Mycroft glanced at Lestrade, "It's said that I'm too busy at work, so I've always been single, and now it looks like you're a good fit for each other." β
Lestrade looked at the girl's photo and nodded, the girl is indeed very beautiful, very much in line with Lestrade's eyes, worthy of being personally selected by Mycroft.
"So are you ready? Dear Greg. β
I don't know when the car has stopped, just stop in front of the restaurant waiting for them to go, Lestrade put down the photo of the girl in his hand and exhaled, "Ready." β
Stretching out the head is a knife and shrinking the head is also a knife, anyway, people have already come, and Lestrade is always going to complete this first blind date.
"Welcomeβ"
