[Shen Xia + HP] In the name of a detective

Today is a rare sunny day, the first ray of sunlight pouring down in the morning, shines in through the clean and reflective windows, and falls on the gray-black carpet without a trace of dust.

Aurora, who had been cleaning all night after returning home last night, was sitting on the sofa. The warm sunlight reflected on half of her face, dyeing her fair skin with a warm halo.She stretched her waist, rubbed her slightly sore shoulders, picked up the document bag from the small coffee table, and took out the thick stack of documents again, preparing to study it carefully from beginning to end.

This was the order of the big boss Mycroft, and Aurora didn't dare to disobey it.What's more, she knew in her heart that this JM was not easy to deal with, she had to be fully prepared before going to the dance, even if some emergencies happened, she could handle them with ease.

However, the guy next door seemed to be trying to make trouble, and didn't give her a chance to follow Mycroft's instructions.

Aurora had only read less than five pages when she remembered the long-lost sound of knocking on the wall: —·—·|———|—|·|———|··—|—(Comeout. Come out. )

Ever since Mycroft reluctantly confessed tonight's mission last night, Aurora has been brooding about his arrangement, but she also knows in her heart that if he has other choices, it is absolutely impossible Let Sherlock have a chance to act alone with himself.

Sherlock helped her out twice, and she naturally noticed it.Thinking of this, Aurora was in a complicated mood for a moment, not knowing what attitude she should have towards him.

Although Sherlock also introduced some information to her last night, he didn't communicate with her directly.As for Aurora, under the pressure of the two Holmes brothers with high IQs, she had no chance to speak, and the only few sentences she had were replies to Mycroft, and she had never spoken to Sherlock. .

After almost two months, they hadn't spoken to each other except for the phone call Mycroft had asked Sherlock to call her.Aurora didn't know what his attitude toward her was, what his opinion was.Have you forgotten that subtle emotion, or are you on the way to forget that subtle emotion?

The sudden sound of knocking on the wall made Aurora a little nervous. They hadn't communicated in this way of communication that belonged to the two of them for a long time.

She knew that Sherlock asked her to go out probably to discuss matters related to tonight's dance, and most likely to go to the second floor next door to discuss plans.This is bound to meet Mrs. Hudson, and Aurora wonders what inappropriate things this gossiping old lady will say.But there is no doubt that what she has to say will be about Sherlock and herself, and it will revolve around gossip.

When the time comes, how will Aurora deal with it?Should he just smile and ignore it, or pretend to be indifferent and explain the plain relationship between her and Sherlock that always misunderstood others?

For a moment, Aurora was in a state of disarray, grabbed the keys and ran downstairs in a hurry without even putting on her coat.It's not that she forgot about it, but that she thinks that after going out, she will enter the room next door, and she won't be able to stay outside for long, so there's no need to wear it.

But Sherlock, who was already fully dressed and standing at the door of Aurora's house, didn't seem to have the idea of ​​inviting her to sit upstairs, but took a taxi to go out.Aurora, who was a little embarrassed at first, felt that if she said she wanted to go home to get her coat now, the atmosphere would be even more awkward. She opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything in the end, and got into the taxi without saying a word.

After 10 minutes of silence, Aurora's strong curiosity still made her ask: "Where are we going?"

"Do you have a dress to wear to the ball?" Sherlock didn't even look at her, instead of answering the question, his cold and indifferent voice was like when he first met her, which made Aurora feel like "This is Xia Rock Holmes" feeling.

Yes, this is Sherlock Holmes.There are some Sherlocks who are arrogant and indifferent to everyone, and their tone is either indifferent or mocking.This is normal Sherlock.

Aurora got the answer she wanted, so she didn't ask any more questions, and just casually reminded: "My wallet is in my pocket."

Then Sherlock raised his eyes and glanced at Aurora who was sitting next to him, and immediately understood why she said this, and said, "And you originally thought that we would discuss the plan for tonight's dance indoors, without wearing a coat .”

"So you will pay for the dress." Although Aurora was a little uncomfortable, her eyes were still narrowed unconsciously and slyly, giving people a feeling that she had succeeded in a trick, and her tone was somewhat imperceptible overbearing.

At this time, Aurora thought she had taken advantage of it. It wasn't until she kept changing skirts in the evening gown store that she realized that was not the case.

The first thing I tried was a smoky gray long slim-fit gauze dress, which was exquisitely cut at the waist. There was a thin metal belt on the outside for a little modification, and a few pure white gauze roses were dotted beside the belt. Behind it was a vintage court tie The belt design can highlight the elegant temperament.However, Sherlock's eyes are very critical, and he is not satisfied with this.

Afterwards, according to Aurora's figure, the shopping guide brought a set of black and white irregular dresses with ruffled hollow sleeves on both sides, which was very fashionable. With a pair of butterfly machine high heels, she added some cute touches. element.But Sherlock still picked out many faults and ordered Aurora to change a new one.

Then there is a fresh white dress, the suspenders are designed just enough to reveal the clavicle, and modify the slender neck line, making Aurora wear a bit of a lady's demeanor. A thin black belt is dotted around the waist, adding another Sophisticated and elegant temperament.The shopping guide spoke eloquently about how suitable this dress was for Aurora, but Sherlock still didn't buy it.

Finally, when it was time to switch to the fourth piece, Aurora couldn't bear it any longer, and almost got angry.She has always bought many of the same style because she was fancying one piece of clothing. She has changed so many pieces of clothing in the dressing room, and she has long felt impatient. She just didn't say anything because Sherlock was the last to pay.However, Sherlock was still picky, not satisfied with this, and not satisfied with that, Aurora suddenly felt that this was more troublesome than going shopping with Song Jiuhua to buy clothes before.

And Sherlock's answer made Aurora unable to refute.

First, the person who pays the bill has the right to buy a dress that looks more pleasing to the eye.

Second, Aurora attended the ball as his female companion. If she dressed too ugly, not only would he lose face, but Mycroft would also be affected.

In the end, Aurora had no choice but to compromise, and mechanically changed clothes one by one.In the end, Sherlock almost picked out the entire clothing store before he settled on a black one-shoulder dress, which was sprinkled with diamonds and shone brightly. The slit design creates a domineering and glamorous temperament spontaneously.

The shopping guide who was tortured to death didn't wait for Aurora to change back to the previous clothes. Seeing that Sherlock had finally chosen, he quickly folded the casual clothes and put them in the bag, and couldn't wait to invite them out.She said "Welcome to come next time", but what she thought in her heart was that it would be best not to come again in this lifetime.

Aurora was helpless, thinking that Sherlock was indeed too picky, and she couldn't blame the little shopping guide for going out in the one-shoulder dress she just bought.When she was going out, she could clearly hear the little shopping guide who sent (drive) them out glanced at Sherlock to make sure he couldn't hear him, and then whispered to Aurora: "Thank you, Miss, for your support for all London women. It’s hard work to accept such a boyfriend for the selfless dedication you made.”

After finishing speaking, he nodded in a serious manner and bowed to her.

Aurora didn't hold back her laughter, she took a meaningful look at Sherlock who was still some distance away, and shook her head.

Sherlock didn't notice this side at first, and only after hearing Aurora's laughter did he turn his head to look at her, frowning slightly, his eyes full of doubts.

Aurora's initial little embarrassment has long since been worn away in the huge project of changing clothes, so she said the truth without any scruples: "When I was going out just now, the little shopping guide thanked me for what I did to all the women in London. He also said that it was really hard work for me to accept such a boyfriend.”

After I finished speaking, I felt that something was wrong, regretted it too much, and shuddered unconsciously.

In early winter, even on a sunny day, the temperature is already below zero.Sherlock turned his head and glanced at Aurora beside him. He was only wearing a dress, with his shoulders and arms exposed, and he was still holding a bag of clothes in his hand.

The gentle sunlight hit her face, shattered in her eyes, and smudged with warmth.Her long eyelashes were curled and fell low, casting a small shadow on the lids.She was smiling wantonly, but after she finished stating what the shopping guide said, she realized something was wrong, she immediately frowned, and stopped smiling, but the corners of her mouth still curved slightly upwards.

Sherlock looked at her who couldn't help laughing, wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, said nothing, took off his black coat, put it on Aurora's shoulders, and took the paper bag in her hand .

Aurora obviously didn't expect him to do this, she glanced at him in surprise, nodded slightly in thanks, put her hands through her sleeves, put on her coat, and stuffed her hands into the pockets on both sides keep warm.

This dress doesn't feel out of place on her body. After all, her coat is the same style on weekdays, but it's just a women's style.She was wearing Sherlock's coat, which was wide and wide, and the sleeves were a little long, just enough to cover her fingertips.Where the coat can't cover, the diamonds on her gown shone brightly in the sun, attracting the attention of passers-by.

The two of them didn't speak in tacit agreement, they just walked forward aimlessly, as if they could reach the end of time.

The author has something to say:

Who of you dare to say that it is not sweet?Besides, if it’s not sweet, I will. . .I'm about to sacrifice my Qinglong Yanyue Knife!

Tomorrow will continue to send sugar~~

It hurts my liver to write about the style of clothes. The author, like Miss Lola, is the kind who doesn’t pay much attention to dressing. The clothes are all solid colors and have no patterns at all, so the style of the dress can be written like this. I have already used my prehistoric power. .I also searched a lot of information on the Internet. Of course, there may still be inaccuracies. If I am wrong, please feel free to leave a message, thank you very much.
