Mr. Siren [Comprehensive British and American]

After the end of June, the days can barely enter July. The students are still immersed in the carnival of the holiday, but the FBI is so busy that they can't help themselves.

But this is also the end of a busy day. The coffee shop hijacking attack case, which has been a headache for them for several days, was taken over by the International Police Organization and the CIA after the latest clues surfaced. What is left now is the handover of some documents— ——The attacker who was found to have died in the coffee shop was a wanted criminal who had been pursued by Interpol for a long time, and was suspected of planning a terrorist attack.

Handling paperwork is not difficult, especially for the smart Dr. Reid, to a certain extent, it is even more worry-free than handling cases. When Morgan was still complaining about having to work overtime and miss the beauty invitation, he had already sorted out the documents at hand. Submitted materials packed up and ready to leave work early - this is not Reid's style.

Where he couldn't see, the BAU members, who had a headache facing the pile of documents and materials, secretly exchanged a tacit look, and then watched their young colleagues leave in a hurry with subtle eyes.

Although spring has passed, it seems that their little doctor's flowering period is a little later.

Reid didn't buy flowers. Although he was going to see a patient, he thought a bag of apples would be more suitable than a bouquet. After brushing through his brain a lot about the benefits of apples to the body, he passed by the busy flowers on the street with peace of mind. shop.

There are a few round apples in the bag, the greenish-yellow skin oozes a bright water-red color, and the clean surface can smell the unique sweet aroma of the fruit. These are some very good apples.

Triton loved it.

Whether it's an apple or a person.

The "severely injured" Kraken lives in a private hospital with ridiculously high fees. There are bodyguards guarding the door of the ward, and nurses are on call next door. Even Reid has to undergo a strict body check before entering the door, and hand over all metal objects on his body. , Of course, his gun is not allowed to bring in.

Triton was still resting when he arrived, but the old butler just smiled and put him in.

It seems that no matter when he comes, he can meet the people he wants to see.

At this time, the afternoon sun was just right, warmly penetrating the thin curtains and falling on the person who was dozing by the bed. The sheets were soft water blue, the quilt was a darker ultramarine blue, and the black hair was scattered in the soft On the pillow, the cheeks of the sleeping young man were still flushed after a deep sleep, his long eyelashes cast a shadow, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly as if he had a sweet dream.

Reid remembered that it was supposed to be a beautiful rose red, and the raised arc was always gentle and flawless but also arrogant, just like those delicate roses planted in the garden, with the softness of petals and the sharpness of thorns.

But now the rose petals have lost their own brilliance, more like the double-petaled cherry blossoms that I have seen before. Although they are delicate and soft, they are pale pink that is almost white without blood.

He put the apples away, quietly pulled the chair beside the bed a little and sat down, quietly waiting for Triton to wake up - because he has lost too much blood, this person has been unable to wake up recently, and even if he wakes up occasionally, he has no energy, and he can't laugh. Appeared weak.

It was still early, and the hour hand on the dial of the watch was about to pass three. Reid hesitated, took the top book among the piles of books stacked on the cabinet, and opened it slowly.

The book is probably an antique book from many years ago. Although the thick cover and classical binding ensure that it will not fall apart completely in the passage of time, the pages of the book, which are full of annotations in different colors and different handwriting between the lines, have begun to crumble. Be careful not to accidentally damage these fragile and expensive papers when turning the pages.

Reid does not read fast, it is quite slow compared to his usual speed, the complicated old English on the books hinders his smooth reading to a certain extent, and those small annotations in different handwriting and even in different languages ​​are undoubtedly It also attracted his attention quite a lot.

The round, circled handwriting, which seems casual but actually has strict rules, fascinated him very much. Some blurred traces inevitably appeared due to the erosion of time, but the meaning was guessed through the preface and afterwords, and the handwriting was deduced In the age class of people, it is best to pass the time in a quiet afternoon.

Therefore, he quickly indulged in the book, even if the content itself was not very interesting.

When Triton woke up, he saw his human being sitting on the edge of the bed holding a book and reading it seriously. While reading, he unconsciously frowned as if he was thinking about something, and tapped his fingertips on the page lightly. It's not very heavy, it's just a small subconscious movement.

very cute. Triton laughed unconsciously, "Morning...or should I say good afternoon?"

"Ah, you're awake." Reid stood up and put the book back where it was, and poured him a glass of water. "How do you feel today?"

"It's okay." Triton took the water glass and took a sip, "The situation will never get worse."

He looked a little lazy and lack of energy, but he still pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a smiling expression.

"Please come to see me every day." He didn't look at Reid, but moved his eyes out of the window. There are many trees planted in the courtyard, some of which are old and have grown to the height of several floors. From the perspective of Triton In the past, the lush treetops happened to be visible.

Sea monsters never live too far from the ground, and they are not those races with wings, so they will never place themselves in the sky where they cannot control their fate.

"..." Reid didn't know how to answer this question, so he lowered his head silently, took out an apple and began to peel it.

The scene of a former suitor and a person who just refused to pursue is indeed not ordinary embarrassment. Dr. Reid, whose social ability and IQ are basically inversely proportional, had to bury his head in peeling apples to avoid dialogue.

Triton simply didn't intend to ask him to answer, he was like every admirer who kept his own place after being rejected, and he was honest without any extra actions or words, quietly watching the scenery outside the window.

He is not in a hurry, patience is what sea monsters always need most, the trap has been laid, the bait has been cast, just wait, he said to himself silently, suppressing the desire to move around in his heart, he has always been a Good hunter, this time will be no exception.

"Here." Reid handed the apple to Triton.

"Thank you." Triton restrained himself to maintain a sense of distance. When his fingertips accidentally touched each other, he froze for a moment, then subconsciously withdrew his hand, and Reid just let go of the apple, so no one took it. The apple fell to the ground just like that, and the round light yellow bone rolled to the door, rolled back again, and then slowly stopped.

"It's okay, I'll just pick it up." Reid stood up and picked up the apple, "Don't move around."

"I'm sorry..." Triton whispered, with a slightly dazed expression.

The atmosphere fell silent again, and after a while, Triton said softly: "Every time you visit me, you always bring fruit." His tone was deliberately relaxed, "Yesterday was strawberries, the day before yesterday... oranges Right."

"Fruit helps your body recover." This topic seems to be picked up, Reid breathed a sigh of relief, "*Apple is rich in carbohydrates, vitamins and trace elements, including sugars, organic acids, pectin, protein, calcium , phosphorus, potassium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and dietary fiber, and also contains malic acid, tartaric acid, carotene, etc., while strawberries are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin PP, etc.* ..."

He said there, and Triton leaned aside and listened, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and soft and gentle eyes.

But when Reid looked at him, all his emotions were restrained, leaving only a smile that was not close but not alienated, but no matter how you looked at it, it was thousands of miles away.

"..." He was refusing to make eye contact, and Reid instantly understood the meaning of his body language, but this is normal, isn't it, Reid pursed his lips, took out the second apple and began to peel it.

So there was no more communication, and I could only hear the clock hanging on the wall ticking away, seconds passing by in a hurry, the fruit knife slid between the peel and the pulp, and the subtle rustling sound was not too loud. It's annoying, and even feels strangely comfortable after listening to it for a long time.

Very comfortable. Triton closed his eyes and sighed softly. He is more sensitive to various sounds than humans. This kind of rhythm full of inexplicable and subtle rhythm makes him feel very relaxed.

He recalled the earlier ages, when humans could coexist with other races, there were traces of elves in the forest, and there were not only sea monsters swimming past in the sea, wearing snow-white robes on the Aegean Sea The sages regarded them as the gods of the sea, the beloved sons of Poseidon, the sea god. His ancestors used to like to cruise with those ships that went out to sea. emerge everywhere.

Long and beautiful.

He enjoys the current atmosphere, quiet and peaceful, but his insatiable nature is doomed that he can't just be satisfied with the current distance. The human being who is in love with the sea monster is the luckiest, because he will get what he can't get from any human being. The only love that has no possibility of betrayal, but he is also unfortunate, because the sea monsters will not accept any answer other than "Yes", otherwise they would rather drag their own humans into the bottom of the sea, and have a heartbreak with the great grief. The jade and the stone are burned together.

The sound of the rustling of the blade stopped, and Reid cut the apple, only to find that Triton had already fallen into a drowsy sleep on the pillow, with the quilt on his lower abdomen, and the loose nightgown on his upper body was opened a little, the indigo and ultramarine The small piece of skin in the room was dyed a little warm yellow in the sun, but it showed a somewhat illusory healthy color.

Let him rest well. Reid put the apple on the bedside cabinet, carefully opened the door and went out.

"Thank you." The old butler handed Reid's things to him, "Thank you very much."

"It's okay." Reid shook his head, picked up his phone and glanced——

Come back soon, there is a case.

Well, it looks like the Cavaliers sweetheart is up for justice again.
