[CM] Paradise Nostalgia

The bathtub was full of water, almost overflowing.The water vapor was lingering, and the woman with thin skin and tender flesh sat dully in the bathtub with a look of lovelessness.

Well, it was her fault, Uriah didn't know that she would get out of control like that and almost exposed the SSS level secret.If she hadn't wittily pretended to be asleep at the last moment, she couldn't imagine where she would be sitting now.

Uriah took a handful of water and splashed it on her face, resting her head on the back of her hand. Reid may have discovered that she was faking it, but he didn't expose her. This is a bit scary to think about!And judging from the attitude he showed that day, this matter is definitely endless, but this week has passed, he went out very early almost every day, and came back very late, she kept waiting for him with the lights on, thinking that he would When do you press—

"Ding-dong-ding-dong-ding-dong-"

"Holyshixx!"

Uriah stood up suddenly, and the ground water instantly engulfed the floor. She pulled off the bath towel and quickly wrapped herself up, her tongue seemed to be unable to straighten, "Wait, wait a minute! I'll be here soon!"

"Express delivery!" A young boy's voice came from outside the door, politely, "You can take your time, it doesn't matter if I wait a while."

Uriah, who was looking at the closet like lightning, was taken aback for a moment, bent over and breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, thank you!"

The baby was scared to death, she patted her chest, picked up the bath towel and rubbed it on her head, put on her favorite fluffy coat over the pajamas, it almost reached her calf, the light gray rabbit fur was fluffy and soft Like a big thick blanket, the designer must also be a guy who is super afraid of the cold.

Speaking of it, the winter in Washington is not the kind of beautiful fairy tale style at all. When the weather is good, especially when the sky is particularly blue, the white snow is like clouds falling from the sky, and the cotton candy is light and happy, just like the blonde Blue eyes, holding a white rose in his hand, standing alone under the snow-covered tree waiting for someone's handsome guy; when the weather is bad, especially when the clouds are heavy, the statue of the knight stands in the cold wind, There are no pedestrians on the street, the whole city is covered with snow, there is a feeling of ascetic indifference, as if it is a strong contrast, if you have to define it, it is the kind of black hair and green eyes, suits and leather shoes, cold temperament but holding man with a bright red rose.

Sorry, her brain hole often comes up inexplicably, Uriah managed to make herself into a bear, and ran to open the door stepping on fluffy shoes, "Sorry for keeping you waiting—"

[what the fuc xxx! ]

Uriah knew that his expression must be very stupid, otherwise Reid would not have pursed his lips and moved his eyes to the corner of the door unnaturally.

At this moment, she was certain and certain that no matter how beautiful the winter in Washington was, it would not compare to the appearance of this man at the door. His presence alone was enough to make her happy.

"Uh, good evening," Reid greeted with one hand out of his pocket, and handed her the delivery with the other hand, "I just came to see you, just by the way, I hope you don't mind."

Uriah accepted the package in embarrassment, her back was burning, "Thank you," she invited him in sideways, speaking a little nervously, "Is it cold outside, come in quickly, by the way, you've had dinner Is it? Do you need to-"

"I've eaten, thank you," Reid nodded politely, walked into the house, and stood at the entrance, looking not very eager, "To be honest, I didn't expect to see you again, after all, you always watch Get up," he paused, hooking the corners of his mouth, "avoid me like a snake, scorpion and beast, I'm really curious, what made you decide to come back, and you moved directly downstairs to my house, you won't say it's just a coincidence Bar?"

Uriah didn't dare to say anything at first, after all, it was the first time for her to experience this kind of slow oppressive feeling on Reid, there was no greetings or politeness, and she went straight to the point, straightforward and decisive, obviously he definitely didn't come to listen to her nonsense, oh, he Already graduated from Little Angels?

"Can we sit down and talk?" Uriah pushed her wet hair back to her shoulders, and said cautiously, "Would you like a cup of hot water?"

Reid glanced at her, and said lightly: "Of course, and please dry your hair by the way, lest it be my fault for getting sick."

"Uh um, okay, thank you for your concern."

Whoa, Uriah turned around and raised an eyebrow, the words 'I'm not happy' were all but written on his face!She went back to the room and quickly dried her hair. She threw off the rabbit fur coat and put on an ordinary coat. She came out 10 minutes later.

During this period, Reid has fully observed and analyzed the things that can be seen with the naked eye. He has to admit that he has a heart rate disorder. Although this is not the point, it can easily affect the judgment. Must remain objective and calm.

"Do you want to add milk?" Uriah put a cup of hot black tea on his desk, sat down opposite him, with a smile on his lips, "Or sugar?"

"No, thank you." Reid didn't want to appear too aggressive, but sitting across from a guy with a criminal record, he didn't expect her to cooperate obediently, maybe the tense and suppressed atmosphere could give her some clues, "We Can we start now?"

[How can he be so cute? ] Uriah chuckled inwardly, [he thought this was the first time they had sat down and chatted, although now the attitude was a bit like he was talking about some UNSUB, and she was that UNSUB. ]

Oh, it seems that it is not the time for her to be happy.

Uriah frowned, and her expression became obviously embarrassed. She didn't want to lie to him, and she didn't want to confuse the past life with the current life. Although there were many changes in it, there were also many things in common, and it made sense to explain it together.

"What are you thinking?" Reid looked directly into her eyes and whispered, "You should know that if you're lying, I can tell."

"I never thought of lying to you," Uriah didn't look away, the aroma of black tea has the ability to calm people, "Never, you may not believe it, I—"

"I believe it." Reid said calmly: "I really believe it, but, I hope you don't hide too much, okay?"

Uriah was stunned for a long time before she looked away. Some things really cannot be said. She couldn't use the reasons of her previous life to explain what happened in this life. Reid has already given her the greatest tolerance and understanding. If she continues to escape, he may feel tired, disappointed, and maybe hate her... She will never forget the look in his eyes at that time, if she is stared at by those eyes again, she really doesn't know what to do , will die of heartache?

"You know..." Uriah couldn't help but her eyes were red when she thought about it. She took a deep breath and continued: "When I was 17, my family died in a car accident. It wasn't an accident. It was deliberate."

"What?" Reid didn't react at once, and from the moment her eyes were wet, he was a little flustered, "You mean, why? Why do you think so, I read the accident report at the time, but didn't find What doubts..."

"Me too," Uriah said hoarsely, blinking her sour eyes, her eyes fixed on the table, "until a week after my parents died, I started receiving strange calls, every Wednesday night, for two years, I reported The police, but because there is no evidence to prove that the death of my parents was a deliberate murder, and the source of the phone call cannot be traced, and I have not suffered any substantial harm, the police have no choice but to let it go."

"I'm scared," Uriah couldn't help covering his eyes with the back of his hand, "I don't know his purpose, I didn't dare to associate with anyone in those two years, and I didn't dare to sleep with the lights off, but, indeed, that Nothing happened for two years, and then one day, the calls stopped coming, and that day, I happened to see you on the news."

Reid wanted to reach out to help her wipe away her tears, so he gripped the handle of the cup tightly and asked in a hoarse voice, "What day?"

"April 2013, 4," Uriah shrugged and said with a forced smile, "there was a serial murder in Los Angeles at that time, and the FBI came here to investigate. Maybe the murderer was that person. Anyway, you showed up and the phone call stopped. Now, I probably regard you as my patron saint or something, and I can't help but start paying attention to everything about you... Sorry, I know that this is not normal for me, and I don't want to scare you."

"Uriah..." Reid called her name softly. He could imagine how frightened and helpless a 17-year-old girl would be after experiencing these horrible things after her parents died. For two full years, it would really drive people crazy "It's okay, it's over, you're safe now, that person didn't call again, didn't he, maybe he was arrested, or something happened—"

"Yeah, I think so too," Uriah smiled weakly, it would be great if that was the case, the chill hit my heart, and even my breathing seemed to become icy cold, "Later, I met you, not very The real one, I never thought... that I could really see you."

"To me, you are a miracle," she finally looked up, with crystal clear tears rolling in her gray-blue eyes. At this time, Reid didn't know that when she was lying or ambiguous the truth, she would always look at him. His eyes, "But the scary thing is, I can't tell where this feeling comes from, you are so special to me, I don't know if I have psychotic paranoia or something, I always dream that you die in front of me... I couldn't bear it, and I didn't want to scare you, so I ran away."

Reid stared at her blankly, feeling his heart tighten, he didn't know what to say to make her look less sad, maybe sharing the pain was a way of comforting, "Uriah, listen, you won't be scared My, I don't think you have a problem. In fact, modern people are under too much mental stress, and they are more or less mentally ill. This situation is both public and social. Judging from your behavior and language, there is nothing wrong with it. You don't have to worry about the traits that suggest you're psychotic. Also, I'm the one with the family history of psychosis, my mom has paranoid schizophrenia."

[Perhaps he will suffer from this mental illness in the future. ]

Uriah bit her lip, her current mood was really complicated and subtle, "Are you trying to comfort me?"

"That's it."

"Okay, thank you." Uriah took out a tissue and wiped his nose. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled, "Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't be comforted by your misery..."

The atmosphere became lighter in an instant, and Reid couldn't help laughing. He knew it looked silly, but he couldn't help it, because seeing her smile, "It's okay, really, it's okay."

Uriah lowered her head, her long hair fell from her shoulders, she reached out and hooked the dark golden strands behind her ears, her cherry red lips curved softly, "I'm a selfish coward, that's why I ran away , I try to forget everything that happened here, I don't want to think about the past, I don't want to think about the future, I thought it would be effective, but the days are getting longer and longer, I feel more and more lonely, as if abandoned by time Same."

She said in a low voice: "Then one day, I saw you on TV, and I decided to come back...Sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Reid knew that it was impossible for him to ask her the bottom line. She had already said enough, and he couldn't bear to continue asking, but at the same time, his overly smart brain was reminding him that something was wrong. Maybe it would be difficult to ask again if he missed this time. What happened, so I gritted my teeth and asked with difficulty: "Uriah, I know it's painful to recall these things, but one thing is very important. You said that the person called you for two full years, so what are you doing? Did you say anything on the phone? Or, did he say anything to you?"

Uriah froze. The question was too sharp for her. Even after all these years, she still didn't dare to recall everything about that demon, whether it was his voice, his face, or his everything that has been done.

"I, he—" Uriah raised her tear-filled eyes, her expression was full of pain, "I don't remember, I can't, Reid, please—"

Reid looked into her eyes and had no choice but to give up the question. He had no way to ask any more, "Sorry, it's ready, don't think about it anymore," he held her cold hand, and comforted her in a soft voice: " Uriah, everything is over, you are safe now, no one will hurt you, I will protect you, I promise, don't cry, please..."

He didn't know what Uriah was really afraid of, but he could feel her fear as well as her pain, and her tears seemed to burn his heart.

After a while like this, Reid looked at the time, "Uriah, it's late," he left the chair and walked to her, bent slightly, and said softly: "Go to bed early, I should go back, see you tomorrow , okay?"

"it is good."

Reid smiled slightly and couldn't help stroking her hair, he wanted to do that just now, "Also, thank you for coming back for me, I'm very happy."

Uriah pursed her lips, shit, she wanted to cry again, she had to get rid of this bad habit, she couldn't keep seeing him so fragile and neurotic—

Wait, tomorrow?

"Reid, I think I have something else to tell you." Uriah sniffled and whispered, "I may be going to work at the FBI tomorrow..."

"What?"

"I swear it's really just a coincidence..."

"Explain to me."

The author has something to say: I changed a lot of details, so it should be better.
