Chapter 15: Quiet as a Chicken

Uriah knew that she was doing something wrong, she didn't know what to do, so she had to pretend to be cute and act as quiet as a chicken.

But Reid's face was still ugly. He was sitting by the bed in a wheelchair, wearing a neck brace, and his lips were pale. He looked a bit like an angry duck.

But Uriah didn't dare to laugh, she was very cowardly, secretly watched his face for a while, and wanted to sit up a bit.

Reid turned his eyes to her with a blank face, "Don't move around, you broke a rib, your right wrist was dislocated, and your head was injured and you needed three stitches." After a pause, he said in a low voice: " You need a good rest."

Seeing that he was willing to talk to himself, even though it was very brief, Uriah breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously touched his face with his left hand, "Am I disfigured?"

When she asked this, Reid suddenly had a sore nose and a sore throat, and he asked hoarsely, "Why did you do this, in case, you—how could you do this?!"

Uriah froze for a moment, she could hear questioning and blame from his words, but his eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

That's right, in case she dies trying to save him, he will be the only one who bears the burden of this death.

Uriah thought about it, and replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, I won't do it next time."

She was sincere, but there was no sincerity in her words.

Reid's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it. Since she passed out, his brain has been in extreme confusion. He has thought about this question countless times, and thought about her answer countless times, but what is this?

The moment he heard this sentence, he was so angry that he wanted to laugh, his liver ached, his stomach ached, his heart ached and he trembled, and he was so angry that he wanted to curse.

But looking into Uriah's eyes, Reid couldn't say anything, he didn't realize what happened, Uriah's expression suddenly became panicked, and she stammered while trying to support herself: "Yes, yes, sorry! It's all my fault! It's all my fault! I was wrong, I was really, really, really wrong!"

Until her cold fingers brushed away the moisture on his face, Reid was so angry that he was inexplicably wronged, he closed his eyes, forcefully forced back the tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry? I'm sorry, but I can't accept your apology, I can't, I cannot forgive you."

"Okay, okay," Uriah was flustered, and coaxed him thoughtlessly, "If you don't forgive, you won't forgive, it's okay, don't forgive me, just please don't—"

"What did you say," Reid couldn't believe what he heard, "it's okay? You don't care at all? What the hell do you care? You don't care about your life, you don't care about how I feel—"

"I care!" Uriah said anxiously, and his voice suddenly rose, "Then what do you want me to do! Do you want me to watch you get shot?"

"Then I can just watch you get hurt!" Reid confronted, the corners of his eyes were red, "Do you expect me to feel at ease?"

Uriah was stabbed by the words, she couldn't deny it.

[I once lost you, how do you understand when I attended your funeral, I sincerely hope that the person who died is my mood?How could you know that you woke up from a terrible nightmare, but you still longed to see you in the dream, as if you were willing to be cursed, the aftertaste was broken over and over again, and the experience fell into despair again and again, you left me alone Stay in the dark... how can you do that? ]

"I just did it, so what?" Her eyes widened, tears rolled down her cheeks, "What kind of fairness do you want, your life and death have nothing to do with me? Is it? Sorry, even if you can do it, I can not!"

The voice fell resolutely, just like the expression on her face, it was shocking without hesitation.

Reid was shocked, and couldn't find a word to refute.After a while, he realized that they were arguing, arguing like people who love each other, hurting each other like people who love each other.

Some words are always spoken without going through the brain. When he hears them clearly, when she hears them, the blood drips instantly.

"My life and death have nothing to do with you," Reid said softly, and even he himself felt the bit of coolness, "what right do you have to do this, what are you? Who are you to me? Oh, maybe You mean that you have nothing to do all day long, and you like to control other people's life and death?"

There was an uncomfortable silence.

"...please get out," Uriah took a deep breath, his eyes were gloomy, calm and depressed, "now, immediately, get out."

In the end, they broke up unhappy.

Until the two were discharged from the hospital, each returned to the apartment where they lived together, and each returned to their respective floors, they did not speak a word.

Even the members of the BAU team can't ignore the low air pressure swirling around Dr. Genius these days.

Their understanding is to pretend nothing happened, but——should be enough!

"Well... are you okay?"

One night a week later, in the empty offices in the Quantico Building, everyone left after get off work one after another.Today Rossi stayed a little late because he had to process some documents. When he was about to go home, he noticed that there was still a person in the office area who hadn't left, and was still sitting in his seat reading a book.

He gently closed the door, walked to the rest area, made two cups of coffee, and walked slowly to Reid, "Sometimes I'm really worried about your thin body, to be honest, how long do you sleep every day now?" ?”

"Three hours, I'm fine." Reid said evasively, "It doesn't affect my work."

Rossi nodded thoughtfully, glanced at his unknowingly frowning brows, and said softly, "Is Uriah's injury better, have you visited her recently?"

Reid flicked his fingers while turning the page, and said in a low voice, "I...I haven't met her recently."

Rossi raised an eyebrow in surprise, "She avoided you?"

"No," he looked up at Rossi, and finally changed his expression, half frustrated, half bewildered, "it was me, I don't know, after what happened like that..."

"It seems that you haven't reconciled yet," Rossi nodded, and said tentatively, "Can I ask why, after all, you didn't look like ordinary couples arguing."

Reid was taken aback, his gaze dropped unconsciously.

"No way..." Rossi asked with at least a hint of luck, "So you, aren't together yet?"

Reid pursed his lips and nodded.

"Well, it's a bit difficult to deal with, regardless of the reason, the result of the matter is that you got angry with a girl you like and blocked a gun for you in a critical moment, and you haven't reconciled yet, right?" Rossi After pondering for a moment, I couldn't help guessing, "Could it be that she did... very bad things to you?"

"It's not like that," Reid's expression was heavy, he was very regretful and confused, "I was angry at first because I didn't want her to get hurt because of me, I was afraid...she would leave me like Maeve, But then, I found out that she didn't care about her own life, and that's what really made me angry and heartbroken."

Rossi listened quietly.

"I just, I don't know, I don't know if I should... maybe it will be a bad result," Reid stopped and thought for a while, and said softly and hoarsely: "I'm afraid that I will kill her. "

"You can't blame yourself for Maeve's death, Reid, you know that," Rossi sighed inwardly, whispering, "We've all sacrificed a lot for this job, time, freedom, affection... all It’s something very important, sometimes even our most cherished people. Sure, we can run away from it, it’s not something to be ashamed of, but we can’t run away from it.”

"From my experience, although there are a few negative examples, it can be regarded as a good lesson," Rossi smiled lightly, with a hint of self-mockery, "When you can't make up your mind about something , don’t make any decisions. Feelings are not your business alone, and quarrels are the same. Instead of digging into corners and thinking wildly, it’s better to ask the other person’s thoughts and let her decide. Because you don’t want to give up now, You don’t have the courage to move forward, do you?”

It hit the nail on the head.

"You're right," Reid said with an uneasy look on his face. "Is this really possible? I made a mess of things. I was so angry that I lost my mind. I said, said irreparable things. If she doesn't Forgive me..."

"Ok~ok~ stop, boy," Rossi blinked briskly, "you go and apologize first, if she really refuses to forgive you, we will figure out a way! Now, it's too late, old people like me But I can’t afford to stay up late, please do me a favor, go home quickly! By the way, if it’s convenient for you, please help me send my greetings to that brave and beautiful lady~”

Reid couldn't help but smiled slightly, and closed the book, "Okay, thank you, Rossi."

"You're welcome, I hope to hear good news tomorrow."

On the way home, Reid stopped by 'Meow Dessert' to buy a box of cheese tarts, hoping to bring some help. It's not too late now, and he walked home slowly, sometimes worried and sometimes depressed.

From a distance, he could see the lights in Uriah's house were on, and the light shadow paved by the lattice windows occupied a small position on the ground, and the light yellow light beam was so distinctive to him.

Reid stopped suddenly, it seemed that every time, no matter how late he came back, the window was shining through, he searched his memory again, yes, that's right.

He could always see that ray of light, no matter how late it was.

Why didn't he realize this until now?

Reid couldn't help speeding up his pace, he hurried towards the apartment, and finally stood in front of the wooden door, his heartbeat was a little abnormal.

[Knock on the door, knock on the door quickly, apologize to her first, then—]

"Boom!"

"Wow ah-"

Suddenly there was a loud bang from the door, followed by a scream.

Reid's eyes widened in panic, he slammed on the door, and shouted, "Uriah! What's wrong with you! What happened? Are you okay?"

He pressed his ear to the door, but he couldn't hear anything, Reid decided not to wait any longer, he took a few steps back and kicked at the door.

Fortunately, this apartment building is quite old, and in order to maintain the overall elegant and retro style, there is no anti-theft door installed, so even if it is not Morgan, he can kick the door open with a few kicks.

"Uriah? Where are you? What happened?"

There was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, he rushed in without thinking about anything, "Uriah—"

With the towel hanging loosely from her body, Uriah slumped on the wet floor, staring at him dumbfounded.

The bathroom was full of water, wet, and the shower was bouncing merrily on the floor, splashing everywhere.

"Ohmygod!" Reid screamed, turning his back hastily, "Hold, sorry, I thought, are you okay?"

"Do I look like I'm okay?" The man who was almost seen was relatively calm, Uriah raised his hand to block a spray of water spraying on his face, and sighed, "Please help me put that damn alive little You son of a bitch, turn off the shower that kills thousands of dollars! Thank you."

"Okay, okay." Reid didn't dare not agree, he emptied half of his eyes, turned around stiffly, strode over and stepped into the bathtub, turning off the source of all evil.

"Thank you." Uriah repeated, sitting motionless on the ground.

"You're welcome." Reid replied subconsciously, and hurried back to the door, his heart was like a battle between heaven and man, but his mind was blank.

The scene was very embarrassing.

He suddenly realized something, "Are you injured? Where are you?"

Uriah has already wrapped the bath towel, she frowned, her gray-blue eyes were misty, "It's just a twist, do you want to stay here all the time, as you can see, it's not convenient for me to entertain you now— —”

"No! I didn't see it! I swear I didn't see anything!" Reid explained nervously after hearing the first half of the sentence.

Uriah took a patient breath.

"Did you sprain your ankle? Is it serious?" Reid asked worriedly.

"Do you think I'm just sitting here because I think it's fun?" Uriah's tone was a little bit annoyed, and she broke the pot and said, "Why don't you just go home! Don't just stand here!"

Reid blinked, racked his brains for a moment, and a few seconds later, he took a big step back with his back turned, right next to her, and crouched down.

The tips of his ears were flushed, as were his cheeks.

"Let me help you," Reid said in a low, trembling voice, "it may be a little difficult to rely on yourself."

Uriah was stunned, most of the anger in her heart disappeared, she pursed her lower lip hesitantly, and finally compromised with reality.

Those white and tender arms fell on his shoulders, in a loosely embracing posture, she was very soft, with a refreshing and clean aroma, pressing warmly on his back, a strand of dark golden hair brushed against his The cheeks were cool, the exact opposite of the temperature of her skin.

Reid felt that his whole body was going to burn up. He forced himself to ignore the sweet and tempting messages. His slender fingers accidentally slid across the delicate skin of her thighs and hooked around the hollows of her knees. He seemed to have used all his might Similarly, he stood up straight with difficulty, and walked towards the living room without daring to breathe.

"My God! What did you do to my door?"

Even her breath was so close, breathing on the tip of his slightly curly hair, touching the back of his neck provocatively, causing a numb shiver.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. At that time, the situation was critical, and I had to—"

"So you are going to put me on the sofa here now," Uriah's voice was icy, "so that everyone passing by can enjoy the scenery of my house?"

"Of course not!" Reid tried to get his brain back to normal thinking, but it seemed to be difficult, "How could I-I wanted to-"

"What do you want to do?!"

"I don't want to do anything!" he replied quickly.

"You are still lying! Look at what you have done to my house! Lose money! What if a thief comes in at night! Are you responsible?"

"I'm not lying! It was an accident! Yes, yes, it was inevitable!" Reid argued aggrievedly, "I knocked on the door! I heard a loud noise and I was worried that something might happen to you but you didn't answer! I have no choice but Destroy that door! I really didn't mean it!"

"You still said—" Uriah was stunned for a moment, seeing that Reid was still walking outside, he was stupefied again, and then yelled in panic, "Where are you taking me? What are you doing? Let me down!"

"To shut up!"

Reid interrupted her unbearably, and took a deep breath, "The door, I will pay! You, I am responsible!"

Behind her back, she was instantly as quiet as a chicken.
