Mycroft is a man who does what he says, and since he wants to speed up his pursuit of Lestrade, he has to take some action, the first one is to create a solo date, and the best place is the office.

Mycroft had arranged the time and had the pastry chef at the Diogenes Club make delicious strawberry jam donuts, and as for afternoon tea, Lestrade had a coffee machine in his office, which was sent in by the upper echelons of Scotland Yard for a reason, who told them that their dear Mr. Inspector liked coffee so much.

Mycroft's calculations are particularly good, even if Ancia wants to give him a thumbs up, Mycroft is worthy of being the person who can do the position of the British government now, as long as it is emotional intelligence online, this action is not ambiguous at all.

Although he had been fond of Lestrade before, he had never formally enjoyed a quiet afternoon tea with him in the office, and even if he had done it before, it was in the name of other things.

This time, Mycroft was only there for a "date".

Ancia was warned by Mycroft not to do anything, otherwise she might have to spend the next year or two shuttling through various drinking parties, and by the way, she could find a "suitable" other half for herself.

Anthea was ashamed of Mycroft's threats, but she had to obey, and Mycroft allowed her to watch the play or witness his love, but she was not allowed to join forces with another Sherlock Holmes to trap Mycroft or report to the Lestrades.

The only thing she could say was, yes.

In fact, if you count it, McCroft and Lestrade have also had a date when they were ignorant of their feelings, from having lunch together to a vacation abroad, or even spending Christmas together.

These are sweet memories.

Mycroft set a time for himself to spend Christmas with Lestrade on Christmas Day this year, the first time he was Mycroft's brother, and Lestrade was a sympathetic friend, the second time he was a close friend of Lestrade's brother, and the third time Mycroft was going to be Lestrade's boyfriend to spend Christmas with him.

His idea is good, but there are some problems with execution, and the biggest problem is that McCroft has not even taken the step he pursues, and the road to this pursuit is not all smooth sailing, even if he has Will to help him "escort" it will be very difficult.

That afternoon Mycroft arrived at Scotland Yard with his little dessert, and he came quietly as usual, without letting the vampires of Scotland Yard know. Wanting to woo Lestrade and bribe his colleagues, Mycroft delivers a larger dessert box to Sally Donovan and asks her to share it among the murder squad.

And Mycroft knocked on the door of his office with the one he had prepared for Lestrade......

Recently, Scotland Yard has been relatively idle, and I don't know if it's because the weather is getting hotter, and the number of criminals is gradually decreasing, except for petty theft cases, there are a lot fewer homicides, so as the detective of the murder team, Lestrade is busy, leaning on his chair and putting his feet on the desk, holding his mobile phone in his hand and looking at his previous photos.

When Mycroft knocked on the door and opened the door to enter, he saw a scrambled Lestrade, who was probably too comfortable just now, so he almost tripped when he tried to put his foot down, and Mycroft let out a chuckle and tensed his jaw in a pretending to be stern.

"What are you doing, Inspector Lestrade."

"Sir, I'm waiting for my afternoon tea."

Lestrade blinked at the dessert box in Mycroft's hand and said, he didn't hide what he said, he could see that Mycroft's hand was his afternoon tea. After shaking his head helplessly and closing the door, McCroft walked up with the box and said, "I wonder if I can exchange my doughnuts for a cup of coffee?" ”

"Our coffee is very expensive, it depends on your sincerity."

As a joke, Mycroft opened the snack box on the table, revealing four beautifully packaged doughnuts side by side inside the snack box.

"Is this sincerity enough?"

"Reluctantly."

Lestrade smiled and went to make coffee, and it could be seen that he seemed to be in a particularly good mood, I don't know if it was because of this sudden surprise doughnut, or because of the arrival of Mycroft.

Donovan looked at the smiling Lestrade with a cookie in his mouth and winked, their head looked very happy, and that Mr. Myrkoff Holmes was more human than his brother Sherlock Holmes, or at least knew about bribery.

Donovan nodded, indicating that the cookies tasted the best he'd ever tasted.

"You look really laid back today, huh?"

As he put the sweetened and milky coffee in front of Mycroft, Lestrade said, and Mycroft shrugged and picked up the coffee that Lestrade had brewed himself, and took a sip of his taste, "It tastes good, and everyone is at ease in July, including you and me." ”

He saluted Lestrade, who was also very idle, with a glass, and McCroft's action made Lestrade laugh, "So to the beautiful July." ”

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

Lestrade and Mycroft often talk a lot when they sit together, and Mycroft can talk about Lestrade's heart no matter what the topic is, and he is also very talkative, and the two of them can even talk for an afternoon when they sit together.

The rest of Scotland Yard is very curious about the identity of Mycroft, who can not only enter Scotland Yard in a big way, but also bring delicious desserts, and has a good relationship with Lestrade, although he is the brother of Sherlock Bastard Freak Holmes, but he does not imagine the character of that freak at all. In Donovan's words, Mycroft was a man of all kinds.

"Do you think this counts as an office date?"

Donovan rolled his eyes as he looked up and down at Anderson, who was holding a snack, Anderson looked really stupid, it wasn't an office date, she assured that Mr. Mycrof Holmes must be after their boss, she knew it from two years ago.

Mycroft's office date was pretty smooth, and they even talked about a trip they could have recently taken if they were still so laid-back, and the Sherlock Holmes and Lestrades had traveled as if they had been the last time.

"Maybe wait until Harry celebrates his tenth birthday, a trip, great choice."

This time, Lestrade wanted to celebrate Harry's birthday, celebrate his tenth, and even invite Harry's best friends, but Lestrade was a little embarrassed at the thought of staying in Mycroft's house for the time being.

"Harry's birthday? I remember it was the last day of July? ”

McCroft moved other thoughts, Harry seemed to be the most opposed to his relationship with Lestrade in the family, and it couldn't be said to be opposed, according to Will's words, Harry just looked at him a little unpleasantly, so maybe he could curry favor with Harry a little bit, in all aspects.

"That's right, that's what it says on the day I picked up Harry, little angel born on the night of July 31st."

"I agree with you, we can have a big party for Harry in the villa and invite his friends to come, maybe every little angel can do that when he is ten years old."

Mycroft raised his hands in favor of the birthday party, and there was a possessive smack in his words, and he wanted to accompany every little Lestrade on their tenth birthday.

Lestrade and Mycroft had a very close relationship, and he just said, "Then thank Mycroft first, and borrow your villa." ”

Harry didn't know what Reestrade and McCroft had secretly prepared for him behind his back, and it wasn't long before July 31st, and McCroft was thinking about what kind of gift he should give Harry at that time in order to please the eldest son of the Reistrade family.

Here Mycroft is still thinking about how to please Harry, and Harry is thinking about how to stop Mycroft's movements, Hannibal means that when Mycroft is not making the next move, he can talk about women in front of Lestrade, such as their future mommy or Mr. McCroft should find a significant other.

Subtly create a psychology in Lestrade's heart that Mycroft is more fond of women, and at the same time, they also have to determine how deeply Lestrade's feelings are for Mycroft, whether it is between lovers or friends.

However, Hannibal was probably sure that if Lestrade liked Mycroft, he must have liked it between lovers, otherwise he would not have been so close to him.

Will sat dumbfounded at the round table, pondering how to get Mycroft to pursue Lestrade and find a place to muddy the waters and get Hannibal to take his attention off himself.

He should probably help Mycroft, for example, by reminding him that he must show his attitude lately, and that Lestrade should be properly stimulated to wake him up.

However, Will also had some doubts, did Mr. Greg Lestrade, who had adopted so many strange children, really not find anything until now?

Did Lestrade find out?

For the time being, there is really no, and the slightest doubt in his heart has been suppressed by him.

After all, he really couldn't find a reason why he would be liked by Mycroft.

Mycroft's spring/dream is still going on, it's been a week, his dark circles are getting heavier and heavier, this kind of spring/dream is actually more painful, the feeling in the dream is not real, the more dreams he has, the more he wants to really hug the person he loves.

It was at this time that Will secretly found him, Will's meaning was very clear, he first asked the reason why Mycroft had not slept well recently, whether it was because of nightmares, at that time Mycroft just waved his hand, what a nightmare, dreams are good dreams, but they are just a little mentally exhausting.

Mycroft's answer made Will frown, how could it be a dream based on what Hannibal and Harry thought and McCroft's state of mind, unless......

Merlin didn't act as expected.

Will had to raise his eyebrows when he thought of this, it seemed that the biggest variable in the battle that had begun was Merlin, and it was simply for him to discover Merlin's wavering little variable, otherwise it was uncertain what would happen after that.

"So my recent dreams have something to do with the little Reistrides."

Will raised an eyebrow, "I didn't say it, McCroft, but at the top of the food chain of the Lestrade family are Lestrade and little Raven, if you have the support of Raven and Merlin, maybe this battle will be a little better." ”

Not only is Merlin a variable, but so is Raven, and I don't know if the little princess is afraid that the world will not be chaotic or because she doesn't want Mycroft to abduct her father so quickly, although she didn't do it, she didn't choose to help Mycroft.

"Raven and Merlin?"

"Well, the little Lestrades don't want you to kidnap their father lightly, so Mr. Mycrof Holmes you still have a long way to go." Will held up a finger and shook it at McCroft and said, "And dear Mr. McCroft, remember that sometimes your attitude is very important, don't fall into the trap of little Lestrade." ”

If you don't want to fall into the trap of little Lestrade, you have to grit your teeth and speak carefully.

The trap laid by the little Reistrid is not so easy to escape.

Mycroft looked at the snickering Will Graham and slowly curled the corners of his mouth, "Will, I should also remind you that Hannibal will not always be able to deceive the past so lightly. ”

Will's smile stiffened on his face, and he gritted his teeth, thinking that if McCroft hadn't helped him at the time, he wouldn't still be in the same room with Hannibal until now, and he was in danger of being discovered at any time.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Mycroft Holmes, and good luck!"

Will added the words thank you and good luck to remind Mycroft that while he was in danger of being discovered, there were also many potential factors for Mycroft.

McCroft smirked, maybe Will would have other thoughts, but now it seems that riding in the same boat with him is the best option, isn't it?

Will also smirked, Mycroft wanted to threaten him, but he wouldn't be threatened in any way, at most, Hannibal found out his little disguise, he believed that Hannibal wouldn't care about these little flirtatious things, would he?
