【in the park】

“Uh… can I take you home?”

JJ and Garcia are indeed powerful teammates. Uriah glanced at him quietly, and Reid looked a little embarrassed. His gaze caught her gaze, and he didn’t move away in panic, but with a little courage and kindness.

This is the 30-year-old him, trying to be brave, trying to move forward, and trying to get out of his lonely little world.

Uriah stopped in her tracks, her brows were soft, she didn’t know if it was an illusion under the street lights, her eyes looked very warm, “This is very close to my home, I can go back alone, thank you.”

[Sure enough, she declines. ]

Reid was already mentally prepared, he opened his mouth, but the words in his mind were interrupted by a sudden pain, “I, I’ll take you back, it’s too late now, it’s not safe to be alone.”

[Dam/nit, what a headache at this time. ]

Seeing his suddenly frowned eyebrows, Uriah thought for a while and explained, “It’s okay, I’m already an adult.”

“That doesn’t mean you won’t be in danger!” Probably because of the pain, and because of Uriah’s inexplicable stubbornness, his tone couldn’t help but become a little harsh, “Do you know how many times I have seen so far? The murder happened on the way home alone at night! A total of 768 cases, this is only the recorded part, who knows outside—”

Reid cut off the conversation abruptly, he knew that his sudden agitation and anger must look bad and nervous, he pursed his lower lip, his expression extremely complicated.

“You—” Uriah’s voice was low, so low that his heart sank.

“Feel sorry……”

“Are you having a headache?” Uriah was so familiar with this expression, she subconsciously took a step forward, before Reid could speak, a guy in a black cloak and a white wig popped out from behind the tree next to him “Woooo “Ooh” the ground screamed and rushed over.

“Holyshixxxxx——”

Then Uriah just stared dumbfounded at Reid being so frightened that he lost his mind, screamed that something tripped under his feet, and fell into the grass rather comically.

“Oh! Heyman, I’m sorry for the little prank on Halloween,” the boy who rushed over took off his mask, with a triumphant smile on his lips, and reached out to help him, “Are you okay~”

[Go away!Get out of the galaxy! ! ! ]

Reid was so ashamed and angry, it took him all his life to keep from yelling, thinking that he would lose such embarrassment in front of a girl he liked, God!He didn’t even dare to look up at her expression.

“He’s fine!” Uriah used all his rationality to keep from laughing, and pushed the ghost brother’s hand away with a stern face, “You can go.”

“ah… well, I’m really sorry… poof…”

[damn it! ]

He really doesn’t want to live now.

Reid lowered his head firmly, and felt instantly clear after the shock, but the pain that hit him after a while made him even more upset, and he also felt inexplicably aggrieved and anxious.He frantically tried to stand up, but a sharp pain came from his unlucky ankle, which made him gasp, “Hiss——”

[Whatthefucxxxx——]

“You’re hurt,” Uriah knelt down, without looking at him, and gently lifted his trousers, his voice was low and soft, “Bleeding.”

Her attitude was naturally as if nothing had just happened.

[Ghost knows what she went through just now? ]

“…I’m fine.” Reid said with a stiff expression. He frowned, as if trying to compete with himself, pulled down the half of his trousers, and stood up without saying a word.

“Well, since you insist that you can go back by yourself, I’ll—”

Uriah suddenly bent down and patted his knee, then his clothes, and finally patted his shoulder. This time, she didn’t look away, and she didn’t have any emotion he imagined. Her eyes It was really beautiful, obviously a cold and indifferent gray-blue color, but the way she looked at him always made him think that she wanted to kiss him.

[Oh, this is embarrassing. ]

Reid felt a burst of shame inexplicably, he was flustered, and the words organized in his mind evaporated instantly under her gaze, and he stood there dejectedly, so he couldn’t see how gentle her gaze was.

“Does it hurt?”

“…a little bit.”

Uriah couldn’t help laughing, Reid sneaked a glance at her, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, thinking that the pair of red little devil horns she was wearing and the smile on the corner of her mouth were too cute.

“There is no pharmacy nearby,” Uriah smiled and blinked, “But there is my house nearby, and, besides, there are medicines at home.”

“…So?” Reid could hear his own heart beating, but he couldn’t help but pretend to be reserved.

“So, can you hold on for a while?” Uriah sighed inwardly. How can he go home alone in this situation, so he whispered, “It’s just a short journey.”

“All, allright,” Reid couldn’t help gripping his messenger bag tightly, and replied dryly, “I mean, I guess, I can hold on.”

[Maybe he could be a little more stupid. ]

The place where Uriah lives is indeed very close to this park. It is about 8 minutes away. It is a small single-person villa. The small white fence maintains a sparse lawn, and there are still candies that have not been picked on the ground. .

She turned on the light, and the light in the living room was a nostalgic dim yellow, but the decoration and furniture were more modern, simple and stylish. Because there were no slippers, Reid came in wearing socks, unpaired striped socks.

“Uh… my grandmother said that wearing the wrong pair of socks will bring you good luck.” Reid looked around, not knowing where to put his eyes, this was the first time he had been to a girl’s house seriously, and now his brain was in a hurry. Confused like a pot of porridge, “I interpret this sentence as saying that wearing a pair of socks will bring bad luck.”

“Really?” Uriah replied with a chuckle, pointing to his big golden-orange sofa that could be used as a bed, “Sit down, I’ll get the medicine box.”

Reid hesitated for a moment. Originally, his hands were on his knees, but he didn’t expect the sofa to be so soft that he almost sank into it. He hurriedly sat up and adjusted a proper sitting position, then looked eagerly at the direction in which she disappeared.

After a while, she came out with the medicine box, sat cross-legged on the carpet at his feet very naturally, and gently rolled up his trousers.

“No, no, thank you, I can do it myself—” Reid was rather flattered, and pushed back helplessly.

Uriah sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand and hooked the scattered hair behind his ears, his voice sounded slightly hoarse, and he seemed a bit lazy, “Stay honest.”

He squeezed his fingers slightly, not knowing what to do, but he couldn’t say any more words of rejection.

Uriah quietly helped him clean the wound, put on ointment, and put gauze on it. Reid lowered his head, his eyes skipped over Uriah’s delicate and soft ear neck, and stayed on her white and tender fingertips. The place she touched was a little cold touch.

“The last time we met, you left very quickly, as if… you were avoiding me.” This kind of atmosphere and this scene made Reid gradually calm down, and he said in a hoarse voice: “Maybe I wanted to Too many, but have we met before? You seem to know me.”

He endured a severe headache, his brows were almost knit together, and he still insisted on getting an answer.

Uriah looked up at him, his gaze was indescribable, it was far away, with concern, but also close in front of him, but alienated.

“If I forget, could you please tell me?” Reid was sure of his judgment, he really wanted to know when and where they might have crossed paths.

“…If I’m lying, you’ll see it,” Uriah said in a low voice after being silent for a while, “If I don’t answer this question, will you suspect that I have ulterior motives?”

Reid froze for a moment, then said softly, “No, if you don’t want to say it, it’s okay if you don’t.”

Dim light shrouded the golden orange sofa, she sat on the carpet, her whole body was covered with this honey-like color, especially when she bent her eyes and smiled at him, even the air seemed to be flowing The smell of her smile.

[Maybe that’s what he wants the answer to. ] Reid thought, [He really likes that smile. ]

“I’ll get you a glass of hot water.”

Reid watched Uriah’s back until he disappeared, then raised his arm and pressed his forehead with the heel of his palm, closed his eyes tightly, and relieved the severe pain. It was already late, and he should have left.

“Does it still hurt?”

The breath behind her was very light, as if she was afraid of disturbing the blooming of a tulip. There was a warm touch on the scalp, and the hands were kneading the scalp regularly, bringing a feeling of warmth and comfort.He unconsciously relaxed his defenses, letting his thoughts drift with the flow, and the tip of his nose was surrounded by the faint smell of ground herbs.

“It’s better, thanks,” Reid said in a low, hoarse voice, “Uriah, I, I think I should go back.”

“I think you should sleep for a while, it’s nine o’clock now.” Uriah just soaked her hands in hot water soaked in Chinese herbal medicine. The aroma of Chuanqiong can help calm the nerves and relieve pain. “I’ll call you in an hour.”

“But, but… I can’t…”

“Hmm, what can’t you do?” Uriah’s voice sounded a little careless, “are you reluctant to close your big shining eyes?”

Feeling drowsy, Reid snorted softly, still struggling, “What’s this smell? Is it the smell of traditional Chinese medicine?”

Uriah answered a syllable softly, as if he said something, but he didn’t hear clearly, but if he wanted to ask again, it seemed too much effort, he really felt a little tired, the sofa and sleepiness kept pulling, The body is also gradually losing the ability to respond…

Reid’s body slowly fell to one side, Uriah carefully supported his head, and then gently opened his hands, the world became so quiet, he could almost hear his breathing, she looked at his sleeping face without blinking, A little while later, Uriah covered his flushed cheeks with one hand, went softly back to the bedroom, took a blanket, covered him, and then sat down on the carpet again.

[It’s good to be able to look at you like this. ]

It’s like going back in time, when we never quarreled, cherished each other, and always missed each other.

Uriah’s eyes were blurred, and she couldn’t help stretching out her fingers to trace the outline of his hair through the void.

[It’s like a dream, right next to me…]

Breathing out in embarrassment, she turned her back slowly, “It’s terrible, if I look at it again, I’m really afraid of doing something irreversible!”

And after she turned around, the little secret hidden under the light could no longer be tolerated, someone who was already asleep quietly curled up her fingers, her cheeks uncontrollably warming up.

[Did she just… secretly kiss his hair? ]
