The early spring in London is somewhat inexplicably cold.The sun hangs high in the sky like a fake, but it doesn't shed a ray of light and heat.

As soon as Krista stepped out of the door, she automatically retracted and added a sweater for herself before she dared to go downstairs.

Professor Smith heard that Sherlock was also invited to participate in that program. Although he didn't like the program, he still asked Christa to take Sheldon with him.

This time the taxi driver had a face familiar to Christa—the owner of her favorite bakery on Baker Street.

"You have decided to change careers! Mr. Green!" Christa greeted with a smile, and Mr. Green smirked while pulling his cheek muscles, "Yes, Miss Hilde."

Christa led Sheldon into the back seat, and Sherlock had to be driven to the co-pilot.

Mr. Green, who was driving, shuddered.

Based on how the show was filmed, where they were headed happened to be Colby's house.The teenage prodigy is said to prefer to stay at home and has an aversion to going out, so much of the show was filmed at Warren's home.

This time it was mostly about introducing the challengers to each other—and, of course, introducing everyone else to Colby.

Sherlock's program recording agreement was negotiated by McCoff's people, which guaranteed Sherlock's maximum autonomy.Christa took it over and looked at it twice, thinking that McCoff might be afraid that Sherlock would screw up and make him lose money, so she shifted most of the responsibility to the program team in advance.

This kind of contract program group would actually agree?The reason for a show group to do this is that they are sure they will get more than the contract.While thinking about it, Christa signed a copy for Sheldon in the same way.

Make the best use of everything.

She felt that her idea was not wrong at all!

The Warrens were not in central London, but in a small town less than sixty miles from London.Christa, who had already seen this red-painted house in the show, could easily find the purpose.The people in the program group were already waiting, and the other party recognized Sherlock and Sheldon as the people who came to participate in the program this time, and immediately took them in happily.

At the door, a group of people were crowding a young woman down the steps.

The woman was wearing a blue wide-brimmed hat, and a slim thin coat with a layer of soft snow-white fur on the collar, a very typical British lady's attire.The face of the other party is particularly outstanding. The facial features are carefully carved and measured. The beauty does not seem to come from the world. The dark blue eyes have a strange transparent color. She also has a coiled hair. Blonde...maybe redhead, she's dyed her hair many times, there's no question about that.

When the other party saw them, they stopped to say hello, "Hello, Sherlock."

Her voice was a little hoarse, but it did not conceal her gentle and dignified temperament.

Sherlock responded lukewarmly, "Hi, Ms Gloucester."

Catherine smiled slightly, stopped making hypocritical and polite greetings to the brother of this "partner", and left with the group of mighty people around her.

"She's so beautiful, is she a big star?" Krista exclaimed, talking to the staff who brought them in.

Sheldon looked up at Krista curiously.

"No." The staff laughed. "It would be a pity to be a star with Ms. Gloucester's status! She is one of the best philanthropists in Britain!" He said, with longing and admiration in his eyes.

philanthropist?This is really an identity that surprised her.Even Krista was surprised.

"I heard that Ms. Gloucester intends to invest in our program..."

Christa didn't pay attention to what the staff said.

Walking into this empty house, Sheldon, who had been looking around curiously, involuntarily moved closer to Christa, which was a subconscious gesture of trust.

Christa naturally noticed his small movements and took the initiative to hold his hand, "What's wrong?"

Sheldon looked a little dazed, "I don't like it here, when can we go back?"

"The day after tomorrow." Krista thought about the arrangement of the program group. In order to shorten the distance between the genius and the audience, the program group decided to shoot some collision scenes of the genius's daily life.In each episode, four people lived with Colby to shoot, but Colby did not want to live in the house arranged by the program group. The program group seemed to respect his wishes. Fortunately, Warren’s house was big enough. The Luns didn't object either, so they filmed at Warren's home.

Sheldon and Sherlock need to live here for two days to cooperate with the filming.And the footage of these two days will be cut into a week's life highlights and broadcast to the audience.

"Don't be afraid." She half embraced Sheldon, "I'm here with you too."

Sheldon hesitated for a long time and nodded heavily.

The program producer greeted them personally, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Krista, "This is..."

"I'm Sheldon's older sister, temporarily living in England." She said with a smile, "I also happen to be neighbors with Mr. Sherlock."

This explains why they came together.

The other party knew that they should be cousins, after all, the difference between the two was too great.

"Oh, I'll take you to meet other people first."

In addition to them, the Warren family and a 12-year-old girl from Japan-she was accompanied by a woman with very similar features to her, and an adult man who had glanced at Sherlock was already sitting on the sofa.

Esther and Colby sat on a small sofa next to them, they were very close, huddled together and reading a picture book.

Seeing the new people being ushered in, Esther raised her head and gave them a sweet and polite smile.

Despite her incongruities, Esther is a lovely girl.

Colby's attitude was even more arrogant. He had already obtained the names of the participants in this competition from the program director, so he only reacted to Sheldon and Sherlock. Esther went to look at the album.

Christa whispered a few words to Sheldon, and Sheldon looked at the group of people sitting on the sofa and shook his head.

"The filming hasn't started yet, right? I took Sheldon to the balcony to get some fresh air, and he was a little nervous." Christa asked with a smile.

"I'll go too." Sherlock answered immediately.

The program director gave Sherlock a strange look for a few seconds, but he didn't object and let them go.

Sheldon looked gloomy, and Christa took a fruit candy from her pocket and handed it to him, and she peeled one and put it in her mouth.

"It's okay, Sheldon. You can talk physics with them." She hugged the child. "They're all just like you. There's a physics lecture in Cambridge on Friday night. Shall I take you there?"

Standing on one side as a backdrop, Sherlock was half leaning on the railing of the balcony going to school. From his perspective, he could clearly see the expressions and movements of everyone in the living room.

Esther seemed to sense something, raised her head and smiled in his direction, not as innocent as a child, but with a strange sense of maturity.

He looked back coldly.

Christa had already finished talking with Sheldon, and Sheldon himself would certainly not be afraid of this opportunity to show himself. What disgusted him was Colby's cold eyes for a moment.

"Esther and Colby are not quite right." She looked a little worried, "When the show is filming later, Sherlock, pay attention to them."

Sheldon looked up at Sherlock, "I know, you're the one who thinks the sun revolves around the earth."

"Does it matter to me what the sun revolves around? Why do I have to know whether it revolves around the earth!" Sherlock was upset.

"Okay." Christa didn't want their conversation to turn into an argument, "Sherlock, that Gloucester lady just now..." She asked again, "Who is it?"

She felt as if she had heard the name somewhere, and Ms. Gloucester's appearance...her beauty belonged to the kind of beauty that is difficult for anyone to grow, just like a divine creation.

It can be said that every point of this lady is based on Christa's aesthetics. If she were a boy, she would have fallen in love already.

Sherlock seemed to have smiled, and could hear gloating, "McGauf's partner, the politician's daughter."

"Are you obsessed with her appearance?" Sherlock could see Krista's superficial thoughts at a glance, and interrupted her fantasy mercilessly, "Don't think about it, her face is all plastic surgery. Thanks to the doctor."

Krista froze for a moment, feeling a little pity in her heart, but she felt nothing, and even praised the plastic surgeon in a good mood, "Then this doctor's aesthetics are really good."

Shylock's ignorance and mockery towards Christa was even stronger, "Her face moved back and forth a dozen times, the last time was estimated to be three or four months ago. You should praise her for being very good at her appearance." Same obsession."

Christa was not surprised by Sherlock's usual meanness, "Anyway, it's still a pretty face."

"By the way, are her eyes contact lenses?" That kind of blue is hard to see in human eyes, but it can still be done with some small means.

"Contact lenses?" Sherlock took two seconds to understand the term, "Why do I have nothing to care about a woman's eyes?"

"Well, I'm just curious." She spread her hands helplessly, "She looks very young, didn't she have plastic surgery since she was a teenager?"

"16 years old." Sherlock has some understanding of this, "She was burned by a fire when she was 16 years old. Her father hired a bunch of doctors to operate on her. She wanted a more She has a good-looking face, but she is not willing to accept her mediocre face, so——take the opportunity to change her face into what it is now."

"She values ​​her appearance very much? She really doesn't look like that." Christa thought of the staff who admired her so much. A woman who dedicated herself to charity and came from a good background is good enough in her own right. The appearance is the icing on the cake.

"Those boring media reports on her face are overwhelming, you..."

"Okay, I know that I will make good use of network resources. The program team is calling you, so hurry up!" Krista interrupted him happily, and quickly finished a series of speeches with almost no pause. sentence.

Sherlock: "..."

The program team briefly talked about the living arrangement. The installed camera will automatically shoot and record. The four people participating in the program plus Esther will live in this house, but the shots about Esther will be cut as much as possible in the later stage.

The Warrens, the mother who accompanied the little Japanese girl, and Krista were arranged by the program team in a nearby hotel.

"Why can she stay here?" The little Japanese girl pointed at Esther and asked in awkward English.

The smile on Esther's face faded.

"It's my request." Colby closed the book in his hand, a thick ancient European history, and looked at the little Japanese girl with warm eyes, "If you don't want to shoot, you can just quit."

He was aggressive and did not leave any room for the little girl.

The little girl bit her lower lip, took a step back timidly, and gave Esther a hard look, but didn't dare to say anything.

Colby frowned, and took a step aside, standing in front of Esther.

The mother who accompanied the little girl reprimanded her severely, "Rieko, how could you be so rude! Apologize to Esther."

Rieko gritted her teeth, her proud self-esteem did not allow her to speak.

Esther took a step forward, looking a little disappointed, "It's okay, I was the one... I shouldn't have stayed here."

Colby frowned deeper when he heard this, and said in a serious tone, "If you don't stay here, where are you going! This is your home!"

Sheldon watched the farce blankly, another French language genius who was an adult like Sherlock looked at Sherlock with his chest in his arms, and Sherlock was looking at Christa.

Christa didn't respond to Sherlock's gaze. She was playing with the hotel room card handed over by the program crew, and her mind was scattered. It's really brother and sister. From this point of view, the parents who didn't express anything looked like outsiders Woolen cloth.

At night, Christa sat on the hotel bed with her computer in her arms and typed "Catherine Gloucester".

The page jumps slowly, as Sherlock said, this lady does have overwhelming media coverage.

Christa read a few of them casually, and most of the British media called this lady "a real philanthropist".

She has devoted herself to public welfare since she was an adult. In order to better dedicate herself to charity, she has been involved in various fields of investment. Every year, her income is disclosed to the public and all of it is invested in public welfare.

She founded her own non-profit organization, traveled around the world every year to provide help to those in need, and helped build hospitals and schools in many areas.

She has never shy away from her plastic surgery, saying that she likes all beautiful things, so there is nothing wrong with making herself more beautiful, and this lady also loves changing hair and eye colors. An article specifically mentions to this point.

The accompanying picture shows her long hair dyed blue, woven into a braid, and wearing rose-red contact lenses in her eyes. The comment below the article is "like an ancient and elegant vampire nobleman."

Christa looked at this photo for a full minute, and had to admit that a good-looking person can even support such a magical look.

The look that Christa saw her at the door was really normal, a rare normal.

Turning back, a certain tabloid took a photo of Catherine and McCoff eating together, and the accompanying text bragged about the meal.The [-]-word length tells a lingering love story, which also involves the grievances and hatred between Sherlock Holmes and the Gloucester family.

And Christa felt that the two of them were eating together, just like strangers who had no seats and barely shared a table.

A lady of great character.Krista concluded.

While chatting with other people, Christa learned that Ms. Gloucester has decided to invest in this program, and let the program group focus on Colby's wishes, so Colby dared to speak to Rieko like that.

After learning about Catherine's life, Christa slowly sent a message to Sherlock.

"Are you rooming next to Sheldon? - CH"

"No. - SH"

"Let him stay with you for two nights, Esther and Colby are not safe. -CH"

The French genius looks to be working out well and should be in no danger.As for the Japanese girl, she is a girl and she can't be put in the same room with Sherlock, so Christa learned from Sherlock and put a tiny monitor on Rieko to make sure she would Learned immediately.

Christa felt that there was nothing wrong with her arrangement, and that everything had been taken into consideration, and she was about to put down her phone with satisfaction, but she was stunned for a second when Sherlock's message came.

"You messaged me just to tell me about this? - SH"

Mycroft! Your brother didn't play cards according to common sense today!!!
