Elliot and the Unforeseen Friendship Chapter 6

Avery Shan didn't remember how he was carried upstairs. The notebooks and pens in his hands fell to the ground, and he turned back to pick them up one by one.

Elliot Gu was very angry and scolded him for sitting outside in the dark in the middle of the night doing his homework and freezing his nose. Did he want to die?

Avery Shan didn’t actually feel cold, he often felt this way at school.

In fact, he also had something in his mind, which was that Elliot Gu was too noisy and he never found a chance to say it.

He also wanted to ask Elliot Gu, why did he go out to look for illness after taking a shower in such a cold weather and spraying Liushen floral water? He really didn't value the fruits of his labor!

Both of them were angry and for a moment, neither of them wanted to talk to each other.

Avery Shan lowered his head and fiddled with his messy pile of books and notes, which made Elliot Gu feel uneasy.

Elliot Gu sighed and decided not to scold the child for the time being. She sat on the sofa and poked the floor in front of him with her cane.

"Are you still studying?"

"Yeah." Avery Shan put away the things on the ground and sat cross-legged on the small carpet next to the coffee table.

Elliot Gu could see that he was a little angry, in fact, he had been like this since the beginning of the day. Elliot Gu was silent for a while, and a layer of guilt surged in his heart. Recently, because Avery Shan had dinner with him, neither of them cared too much about the working hours. Elliot Gu also found that Avery Shan didn't care about these things that ordinary housekeepers would be fussy about, so he simply stopped trying to save time and let Avery Shan come and go as he pleased.

Just now, after Avery Shan left, he lay on the bed and thought silently for a while. He had indeed caused Avery Shan a lot of trouble today. Ordinary housekeeping does not need to take care of the client's bathing and body wiping issues, which is a separate price. How much does it cost to accompany the patient in the hospital for one night? He had asked about it before when Marshall Gu was hospitalized, but later found that with his financial level, he could only do it himself. So he took a few days off and stayed in the hospital for several days.

Being a caregiver is dirty and tiring, and that is another price. Not to mention...

Elliot Gu glanced at Avery Shan, who was looking listless with his eyes downcast. This guy must be exhausted today. He had been spending a lot of time with Avery Shan recently, and gradually got to know the boy's daily schedule. He worked odd jobs delivering takeout for a few hours every day, and then came to his place for a few hours. His schedule was already full. Today, he also did a lot of hard work at his house. Even though Avery Shan was young and strong, he would still be tired from carrying and washing a decadent young man who had gained a lot of weight recently. However, it was not just that now. This guy was actually doing his homework in the open air downstairs? !

Elliot Gu glanced at the indoor thermometer left by his flirtatious landlord on the TV cabinet. The room temperature was only 15 degrees. This was the result of turning on the air conditioner when he entered the room just now. In the past, when he was healthy, he never turned on the air conditioner in winter. In the past few years, Yunzhong had a warm winter, and he could bear it. But since Avery Shan came, he found that this kid would consciously turn on the air conditioner as soon as he entered the room.

He was a little dissatisfied with his self-talking behavior, but then he thought that Avery Shan was younger than him and must be more resistant to cold than him, so he turned on the air conditioner probably for him, a patient. Later, he just let him do what he wanted.

But it's almost 12 o'clock now, why is this kid doing his homework outside in near freezing temperature? !

Elliot Gu thought quickly for a few times, and finally put the blame on herself.

Seeing that Avery Shan had no desire to communicate, he took the crutches and crossed his long legs in grievance, and softened his tone: "Why don't you go back to school to do your homework? The school is closed?"

Avery Shan lowered his head, and the tip of the pen that had not been ejected moved back and forth on the carpet, poking at a pile of messy hair.

"Um."

"Did I waste your time?"

The aimless hand paused for a moment, then started dialing again.

"No, I didn't calculate the time well." Avery Shan said.

Elliot Gu sighed through her nose, looked at his shiny black prince-like head, and said after a while: "It's my fault. I wasted your time."

"No." Avery Shan looked up at him, his eyes shining brightly, like a big domestic dog.

Elliot Gu rarely looked at this boy from this angle. Because of his physical disadvantage during this period, he always looked up at Avery Shan, so he always had the illusion that Avery Shan was a hero saving a beautiful girl. At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa and Avery Shan was sitting on the floor. He looked down at him from a high place, and Elliot Gu realized for the first time that Avery Shan was indeed a few years younger than him, his younger brother, and a young boy. Even... Elliot Gu glanced at the scattered books beside him... He was still a student in school.

"Ah~~~" For some reason, Elliot Gu pursed her lips as if relieved. Maybe it was because she knew that the poor boy who had long been thought to have been unable to go to school because of his poor family background, and who had to work odd jobs everywhere to make a living, and had to make money to serve this old man who almost stinks because he didn't take a bath for half a month, was actually working hard for his life. Elliot Gu's bad and desperate mood these days suddenly brightened up a lot because of the books at Avery Shan's hand.

However, once he sat on the sofa and looked down at this poor child like himself, Elliot Gu suddenly had the determination to be a good brother. He decided that when he got better, he would treat this brother who had taken care of him with all his heart well. He would use his previous experience of bumps and bruises to help this child become a talent!

No! Start now!

Elliot Gu moved her stiff thighs, sat up straighter, and a mentor-like kindness appeared on her face.

"Does your home live in this city?"

This tone...Dan Qingze looked up at him.

"Yes. But a little far away."

Elliot Gu nodded, feeling sad. For a child like Avery Shan, it was no wonder that his family was like his, a nest of flies. He might as well stay in the pavilion downstairs of his house to be quiet.

At this moment, Elliot Gu suddenly understood.

"You can study here. At least there's air conditioning."

"Really?" Avery Shan tilted his neck, looking a little surprised.

"Yes." Elliot Gu was filled with bodhisattva thoughts and gently tapped his kind and shining head. "After you finish your homework, take a shower here and go to bed. You can go back to school tomorrow."

"Ha!" The poor boy in front of him really smiled like a sunflower, "That's great!"

Elliot Gu raised an eyebrow, and for a moment the electricity bill for tonight flashed through his mind. With Avery Shan around, he couldn't bear to turn off the air conditioner. But what could be better than a young man's clear, sweet, and grateful smile!

Money can be earned, but a young person’s future is not always available!

Elliot Gu looked at the handsome guy in front of her with a sunny face, and her heart skipped a beat again.

After graduating for so long, Elliot Gu hadn't dealt with books for a long time. The house was small, and the desk and dining table were the same. Avery Shan lay on the place where he usually ate and studied hard. Elliot Gu felt that this feeling was very strange.

In the past four years, he had studied day and night just like this, hoping to escape from that fly nest one day and live a good life with his own ability. Although he has not succeeded in getting out of poverty, but... Elliot Gu looked at his small air-conditioned room. Although it was rented, it was at least his own little nest. There was also air conditioning, a TV, and... a handsome guy hired with money.

Elliot Gu sat on the sofa, grinning, looking happy.

Life is still good.

You still have to find a job.

A month passed quickly, and the rent would be due at the beginning of next month. Thinking of this, the smile on Elliot Gu's face suddenly stopped, and she looked sad and had no mood to watch TV.

In order for Avery Shan to study well, he had muted the TV. There was no point in watching the dull TV screen, so he simply turned it off and fumbled to the other side of the dining table to sit down. Now the two of them were facing each other as usual when they ate. Avery Shan raised his head to look at him.

Elliot Gu looked kind: "What's your major?"

"Veterinary medicine." Avery Shan's voice was a little hoarse, and he sounded tired after a long day.

"Ah~ Veterinarian~" Elliot Gu pretended to listen, but his heart was still attracted by the temptation of his smoky voice. He thought of the two hormone-filled "hehe~" in the voice message that Dan Qingze sent to him for the first time in the dark night. The voice was low and a little lazy, which didn't match the boy's youthful face at all, but it made people feel half-hearted and easily think of some scenes that were not suitable for children.

Elliot Gu scratched her ears and reflected on her dirty thoughts.

"The veterinarian is pretty good. Nowadays, people love to keep pets and are willing to spend money on them. They will make a lot of money in the future."

"Really?" Avery Shan looked up, the pen still in his hand, as if he didn't agree or disagree with what he said.

Elliot Gu didn't really want to talk to him about his professional future, but just wanted to find something to talk to him about. There was no back-and-forth communication, and he just stared at the dog that was split horizontally on the page in the other's hand. After reading for a while, he found that this textbook didn't seem that simple.

"Huh?" He tilted his head. "Is it so difficult for you medical students to learn?" He looked up at the owner of the book. "Which school are you from?"

Avery Shan had also learned almost everything, and seemed to relax a little. He stretched himself and said, "J."

"J University?!" Elliot Gu thought she had misheard, "Are you talking about the J University on Jiahui Road?"

"......Yeah." Avery Shan didn't understand the surprise in his eyes, but still nodded honestly.

"Fcuk! You're a top student! You can even get into J University!"

Elliot Gu's eyes widened. It turned out that this handsome boy who was scrubbing his bath two hours ago was actually a student of J University!

"Uh..." Elliot Gu calmed down and steadied his arms and legs. "How old are you? Calculating my age, I'm probably a sophomore. Huh?" Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Elliot Gu tilted her head and looked at the person opposite her in confusion: "If I remember correctly, doesn't J University only have graduate students in veterinary medicine?"

Avery Shan blinked his eyes.

"Fcuk! Oh my god~~~" Elliot Gu bumped into the table leg and grimaced, "You're not really studying for a master's degree, are you?!"

Avery Shan nodded cautiously: "...Yes, I'm Yanyi."

There is no need to ask the following questions. Identity cards cannot be forged, so according to Dan Qingze's age, he must have skipped a grade due to excellent academic performance in his early years.

Elliot Gu looked at the orange handsome guy in front of him, and suddenly he felt complicated and excited, so he grinned and lay on the table, sticking out his B*tt and looking flattering: "Um... Senior, do you think the indoor temperature is okay? Do you want me to raise it two degrees?"

"No, I'm not cold, thank you brother." Avery Shan smiled at him.

"Eh~~~" Elliot Gu agreed loudly and leaned back in her chair with a happy mood.

It's amazing! Avery Shan turned out to be such an outstanding child!

For some reason, Elliot Gu felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

That’s good. I shouldn’t have to suffer like him in the future.
