Elliot and the Unforeseen Friendship Chapter 4

Elliot Gu slept for the whole afternoon and only got up from the bed sickly when it was dark.

He was exhausted these past two days, injured and lost his job. He thought this was the legendary bottom. As for when it would rebound, it was unknown.

The book says that no one is naturally calm. Some people are very calm in dealing with things, not because they have a good mentality, but because they are used to bad luck. Elliot Gu feels that he is like this. He is on the list of people who offend Tai Sui every year. His luck is not very good, but he can always get through big things smoothly. Elliot Gu feels that this is quite satisfactory. He is a poor man who can't rely on anyone, and he is not qualified to pursue the details of life. It is good enough to live a good life.

After a good sleep, he felt a little stronger. He propped himself up and ate the dinner that Avery Shan had prepared for him. A bowl of rice and three dishes on a delicate plate: braised pork ribs, shredded potatoes in sour soup, and a plate of rapeseed. These were all made from the leftovers in the refrigerator. It must be said that Avery Shan was really capable at his age. He couldn't even make this taste himself, no wonder he was able to earn money as a housekeeper.

It had been an unknown amount of time since he had eaten a meal specially prepared for him. Elliot Gu was actually a little jealous while eating it. Although he knew that this was a service he had paid for, the image of Avery Shan cooking in the kitchen at that time still appeared in his mind.

He also remembered that he was injured and couldn't eat spicy food, so he only added balsamic vinegar to the shredded potatoes.

After finishing the last potato shreds, Elliot Gu sighed silently, and suddenly felt a little jealous of Avery Shan's future daughter-in-law. He also wanted a husband like this~~~

But it's the same if you buy it with money.

Elliot Gu sniffed and secretly began to make up his mind. He actually wanted to make a lot of money and then keep a long-term mistress... no... hire Avery Shan to cook for him.

"3000 a month... 36000 a year... Wow~~~" Elliot Gu took his finger back. He decided to consider it when he made a million a year.

After dinner, Elliot Gu looked at the dishes that he had finally taken out of the rice cooker, hesitated for a long time, and decided to leave them to his nanny to wash. Although his nanny looked very much to his liking, he absolutely couldn't let the 3,000 yuan go to waste. In Elliot Gu's life, there might only be this one month of eating and sleeping, so he decided to enjoy it without any pressure.

When he was about to lie down again at the bedside, he caught a glimpse of the phone on the bedside table. Oh, he had turned off his phone again after reading his boss's dismissal letter in the morning. So when Dan Qingze wanted to add him on WeChat in the morning, he didn't respond and didn't do it.

"Tsk~" Elliot Gu frowned and cursed himself. He sat at the head of the bed and reached out to pick up his phone. There was a piece of paper under the phone, with a phone number and a beautiful name clearly written on it: Avery Shan.

Ah~ So that's what it says. Elliot Gu's brows relaxed, and she searched WeChat according to the number on the note, and saved the phone number. As soon as she pressed send, the other party quickly approved the application.

He held the phone and waited for a while.

The other party didn't speak.

Elliot Gu was a little hesitant. After thinking for a while, she finally picked up her phone and moved closer to send a voice message.

"The meal you cooked was delicious. Thank you for your help today."

The four-second voice message was transmitted quickly.

He stared at the phone screen for a while, but there was no response.

He felt a little confused. He was the one who was making small talk and expected others to reply?

"Buzz~" The phone jumped and he quickly picked it up to look.

It’s Liam Wei.

Tiger-fighting hero: I heard from Aunt Grace that she found a handsome guy to be your nanny?

Elliot Gu was listless.

Sunny Doll: Yeah.

Tiger-fighting hero: Is he that handsome? Aunt Grace said he was the most handsome person she knew, and that he looked like a star!

Elliot Gu took a look and decided to lie down first, so she put her phone aside and slowly lay down.

The phone next to me buzzed several times. Liam Wei really talks a lot of nonsense.

Elliot Gu pulled up the quilt and prepared to reply to Liam Wei's message. She clicked on the first chat box and pressed the voice button directly: "He is quite handsome, a very nice person, and his cooking is delicious."

"Whoosh~"

The voice message was sent, and Elliot Gu lowered her arms and closed her eyes.

After a while, there was no reply from the other party.

Elliot Gu said "Huh~" and thought that this was not right according to Liam Wei's personality. So she picked up her phone and opened the dialog box again.

At the top of the dialog box was an unfamiliar avatar. No, it was the one he had just added. Next to the green lake, the two characters "Qingze" exuded a conventional and abstinent style.

Elliot Gu's heart stopped for two seconds because he saw that the other voice message he had just sent was actually in this dialog box!

grass!

He opened his eyes wide and clicked in hurriedly, but it was out of time and could not be undone!

There was another unread voice message above this one, which was sent by the other party after his four-second voice message.

grass!

Elliot Gu clicked it tremblingly.

"You're welcome. It's my pleasure. See you tomorrow."

The voice of the person on the phone was deep and pleasant, as if he had just woken up, with a little smoke and a little temptation.

Elliot Gu shuddered and pulled the quilt up to her neck, remembering that Avery Shan said he came to his house directly after finishing his night shift last night and worked for several hours. Indeed, he should have gone home to catch up on his sleep.

But...the voice message that should have been sent to Liam Wei...he didn't reply.

Oops~~~Elliot Gu gritted her teeth in embarrassment. How could she have sent the wrong message? ! This is so annoying! What will the other party think! A man she just met for the first time sent a voice message praising him for being handsome! No matter how she thinks about it, it feels so weird ah ...

Elliot Gu wants to bite herself!

"Buzz~" The phone vibrated in her palm again. Elliot Gu quickly raised her left arm.

A five-second voice message!

Ah~~~~

Elliot Gu held her breath and clicked it with trembling hands.

"Haha~ You're handsome too. Did I send it to the wrong person? But thank you anyway."

grass!

Fcuk Fcuk Fcuk!!!

Elliot Gu threw the phone away! That laugh!!! It just pierced his heart!

Elliot Gu swallowed, took back her phone, clicked on the voice message again and listened to it again, and then listened to it again.

Elliot Gu made a "tsk" sound and looked at her tied up right hand with resentment.

Forget it, my left hand is not very useful, and I haven’t washed it after dinner. He turned his head away in annoyance.

Go to sleep! Dreams can hold anything!

The second day of confusion passed quickly, and not long after the sun set, Avery Shan arrived.

Elliot Gu washed her face specially today and combed her greasy hair which hadn't been washed for several days. When she heard the knock on the door, she stood up from the sofa and opened the door.

The handsome guy was still wearing the bright yellow delivery uniform today, which made him look like a beautiful butter cookie.

Elliot Gu is hungry.

"Huh? So fast?" Avery Shan held the helmet in his hand and raised his other arm to hand him a pink paper bag.

Elliot Gu stretched out her plastered arm for him to hang on: "I can't lie down all the time, my muscles will degenerate. I'm just sitting on the sofa. Eh? What's this?"

The pink paper bag in my hand is lightweight and airy, but the packaging is exquisite.

Avery Shan paused and said, "Oh, someone bought a cake and didn't want it anymore. I don't eat sweet things, so I brought it to you."

"There is such a good thing?!" Elliot Gu smiled happily, "Oh~ It's this store! It's very expensive!"

"Well, eat quickly." Avery Shan looked at him and smiled, then took off his takeaway clothes.

He was wearing a grass green sweater today, as bright as a scallion!

Elliot Gu took a bite of the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. The sweet and smooth cream blossomed in his taste buds. He looked at Avery Shan with satisfaction and smiled: "Mm! It's delicious! Come and try it too!"

Avery Shan smiled and shook his head, his eyes sliding across the corner of his creamy mouth: "I really don't want to eat it, you can eat it all."

Elliot Gu looked at the cake that she had dug into, then looked at the bright-looking boy in front of her, and didn't ask again. A handsome guy like Avery Shan might have mysophobia.

"Your clothes look nice." Elliot Gu stared at his grass green sweater.

Avery Shan rolled up his sleeves: "Really? I didn't even notice it."

"Hey~" Elliot Gu laughed at him, "How could you not pay attention to what you wear in the morning? Just grab something and put it on?"

Avery Shan seemed stunned for a moment, but didn't say much. He scratched his head and went to the kitchen.

Elliot Gu then realized that he had brought a bag of vegetables when he came today. His sharp money counter mind was distracted, and suddenly he remembered that since Avery Shan came yesterday, neither of them had mentioned how to pay wages. 3,000 is the salary, so buying vegetables is naturally his own money. But he didn't worry about it, and Avery Shan actually brought it himself today.

Elliot Gu felt that he had done something unfair. The young man was helping him diligently, but he didn't even mention anything about money. He didn't know what to think of him.

"Ah~~~that..."

Avery Shan turned around in response, with an obedient look in his eyes as if he was waiting for his instructions.

Elliot Gu's heart moved: "Um...I forgot to tell you yesterday, how should I pay you your salary?"

Avery Shan's eyes curved: "Oh, it's okay, we'll figure it out later, no rush."

"The money for the groceries..."

"There's no rush for that." The young man had already started chopping vegetables.

Elliot Gu sat back on the sofa, thinking that this person was really nice~ It’s just that it’s not easy for him to work, and his salary can be paid later, but shouldn’t he be given the money for buying vegetables first?

So after thinking about it, he took out his phone and transferred 500 yuan to Avery Shan. Avery Shan didn't look at his phone, but kept his head down and busy in the kitchen. Elliot Gu sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at his tall back, and thought of her own association with Avery Shan's future wife.

"Hey~~" A handsome guy comes from a poor family~

Elliot Gu sighed and looked at her own shabby shadow on the door of the glass cabinet next to her.

Why isn't he a woman? If he were a woman, it wouldn't be impossible for him to chase her.

Avery Shan was quick and agile, and it was obvious that he was used to doing odd jobs. Not long after, he came out of the kitchen carrying four dishes and a soup.

Elliot Gu glanced at the tray in his hand and almost popped her eyes out with a scream.

A plate of fried prawns, a plate of shiny bamboo shoots and roast pork, a restaurant-quality eggplant with fish flavor, a plate of broccoli in broth arranged like a Michelin restaurant, and two bowls of fragrant white rice.

Elliot Gu was stunned.

My meager 500 yuan for food wouldn't be enough for two meals!

But why two bowls of rice?

When Elliot Gu looked up, she saw Avery Shan's eyes and brows curved with smile.

The handsome guy sat down in front of him, and four dishes and a soup were served. Avery Shan lifted his apron, which had not been washed for several years, from his head and put it aside, then handed him a bowl of rice.

"I want to make a deal with you. From now on, every time I come to cook for you, can I eat with you?"

Elliot Gu's eyes lit up when he heard this! Has he, a single dog for ten thousand years, finally found a dinner partner? And it's... such a handsome Dan Qingze!!!

"This..." He wanted to say, of course! I'd love to! My pleasure! OH MY GOD!

However, before he could finish his words, the person on the other side spoke again: "I often don't have time to eat properly because I'm always running around. I thought I'd make it for you. If you don't mind..."

"I don't mind." Elliot Gu quickly gave him a reassurance.

"Really?!" Avery Shan looked very happy, his eyes brightened, and he immediately picked up a big shrimp for him, "Also, you don't have to pay me for the groceries. I'll pay for this."

"Ah?" Elliot Gu picked up the shrimp, "How can this be? This needs to be given to you. You can't eat much, so I can't let you pay."

Avery Shan shook his head and smiled: "No, I eat a lot. Don't argue with me about this."
