Feelings of Guy Next Door Chapter 7

During the meal, Adrian didn't say much, and Noah and Ervin were chatting most of the time.

Noah praised Ervin's cooking skills and was curious about why he could cook. After all, many college students, especially boys, don't know the difference between grains. Even Noah himself was the kind of person who didn't cook when he was an undergraduate in China. It wasn't until he went abroad that he started to learn to cook simple meals. But his level was nothing compared to Ervin's.

Ervin spoke lightly of his childhood situation and mentioned that he had started cooking for himself when he was in junior high school. This aroused Noah's sympathy, and even Evor looked at him sideways, but Ervin did not think that this was such a bitter and hateful experience.

Ervin once heard an inspirational quote that goes something like this: "Any painful ordeal will make you better." Although he once fell into a state of "inferiority and self-pity," looking back now, he is grateful for the growth those things brought him. Otherwise, how could he have won the recognition of his two roommates with just one meal?

After chatting for a while, Noah couldn't help yawning. It was obvious that he was very tired after not sleeping the whole night.

"It's almost time to eat," Ervin looked at Noah and said, "I'll clean up, Joey, you should go to bed now!"

Noah was also very touched by Ervin's thoughtfulness. He didn't act pretentiously. He thanked him and went back to his room to catch up on some sleep...

"Do you need help?" Adrian stood up and asked Ervin very gentlemanly.

"Uh..." Ervin didn't expect Adrian to offer to help, because this guy acted like a young master from beginning to end, and didn't look like someone who could "work".

He looked over somewhat unexpectedly, but when he saw Evor's appearance, he cried out in surprise: "Ah! You, your eyes..."

I don't know when Adrian's eyes changed color. A circle of reddish gold appeared around the originally gray-green pupils. It looked extremely weird...Ervin instantly thought of all the things he had imagined after seeing the cemetery during the day, and a chill ran down his spine...

Evor: "...what happened to my eyes?"

"You, go look in the mirror!" Ervin was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly.

Adrian glanced at Ervin and went into the bathroom on the first floor. After a while, he came out with a frown on his face, saying, "Oops, I think I have an allergic reaction."

Ervin: "......"Allergic?

Evor: "It's the same kind of mushroom. It's the first time I've eaten it."

Ervin: "......" If you are allergic to mushrooms, you will develop the "Sharingan"? ...I am not well educated, don't lie to me!

Evor said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. I have to go upstairs and get some medicine."

Ervin was confused... Did he just say "prescribing medicine"? What medicine?

But even though it was weird, at least Adrian didn't give any explanation that Ervin couldn't accept. Different people have different allergic reactions to the same food. Maybe Adrian has a special physique... right?

It was almost dusk outside and the sky was getting dark.

Ervin only turned on the warm light in the kitchen, and while washing dishes he recalled how Adrian looked just now. He admitted that Adrian was handsome, cool, and beautiful... No, no, no, his perfection in appearance and temperament could not be described in human language... It was precisely because of this that Ervin found it very strange.

As Ervin was daydreaming, he suddenly heard the sound of the refrigerator door opening. He turned his head sharply and saw Adrian standing silently in front of the refrigerator taking something!

"!!!" Ervin cursed inwardly. He almost slipped and dropped the plate just now!

...Is that creature a cat? When did it come downstairs? Why is it walking without making any sound?

Evor took a green bottle from the refrigerator and saw Ervin turned his head and stared at her, so she asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"......"Ervin nodded.

Adrian has recovered... so fast! It's only been more than ten minutes? What kind of medicine did he take? !

Adrian raised his lips to him again, and Ervin quickly turned his head back. For some reason, he was a little afraid to look at her...

While concentrating on washing the pot, he pricked up his ears to listen to the movement behind him... He heard Evor close the refrigerator door and then walk away...

In fact, it's not that there is no sound, it's just that it's very light. Besides, the house is covered with carpets everywhere except the kitchen and bathroom. Once you step on the carpet, there won't be much sound unless you rub the ground hard with the soles of your shoes.

"Huh..." After putting the last plate away, Ervin breathed a sigh of relief.

There was almost no daylight outside at this time, and except for the light on in the kitchen, the rest of the place was dark.

Ervin wrapped the remaining ingredients in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. During this process, he saw the green bottles on Adrian's shelf again. The ones he just took out of the refrigerator seemed to be the same... What on earth is this?

Ervin looked around and saw that Adrian was not there, so he bravely took out a bottle and looked at it. He saw a string of English letters printed on it. It looked very high-end. Ervin didn't know what it meant, so he wrote down the letters and quickly put it back.

After turning off the kitchen light, the entire space suddenly fell into darkness, leaving only some faint light from the corridor light on the second floor that shone through the gap in the stairs.

The contrast between light and shadow made Ervin quickly notice something strange. He instinctively looked towards the stairs... That scene almost scared him to death!

Adrian was standing motionless on the steps. In the dim light, he seemed to blend into the background in black, leaving only his bloodless handsome face and hands of the same color, as if floating in the air. His green eyes, which seemed to glow in the darkness, were staring at him like a ghost...

Then, Evor raised the green bottle in her hand and slowly drank the liquid inside.

------tf!!!

Ervin was horrified...

...Adrian saw it! He saw himself peeking at his green bottle...

He had been standing in the dark staring at me? Oh my god! It was horrible!

But I didn't do anything, did I? I just took out a bottle and looked at it! Can't even look at it...?

......It should be possible!

Just a few seconds seemed like a very long time to Ervin. He was like a prey being targeted by a poisonous snake, his whole body stiff with fear.

But when he was extremely frightened, Evor just turned on the light at the stairs and smiled at him.

Ervin: "......"

With the light, all associations with terror seemed to be dispelled in an instant.

Adrian glanced at Ervin, said nothing, and turned upstairs.

Ervin: "......"

Ten minutes later, Ervin was lying on the bed, thinking that he had really thought too much...

Yeah, I just happened to pass by a cemetery. It's a very common thing. What's there to think about? dmn, it's so common! Is there anyone who gets lost in a cemetery?

Ervin jumped up and shook his head angrily. He had to do something else to divert his attention!

Oh yes, he had to call Kathy!

Finding the order sheet with the number on it, Ervin dialed the number. After the call was connected, he introduced himself: "I'm the one who had the pork with preserved vegetables rice at Happy Meals at noon... Michael."

Kathy smiled and said, "Yeah, I remember you! That handsome boy in the off-white sweatshirt is you, right?"

Ervin: "Haha, it's me..."

Emily: "I'm waiting for your call...Are you asking about a part-time job?"

Ervin: "Well, I'm sorry that I asked you about your salary during the day. It was a bit abrupt."

Emily: "It's OK. During the day, other employees are here. I'm a little embarrassed to say because each of us has a different salary."

Ervin: "Huh? Why?"

Emily explained to Ervin in detail that it turned out that the salary of part-time employees also differed according to their qualifications and performance. Generally, the hourly wage for foremen and old employees was 7pds. If the store business was good, the boss would occasionally give bonuses. Emily belonged to this category. Those who had worked part-time for less than a year were paid 6pds per hour. And new employees who were on probation only received 4pds per hour and were not allowed to receive tips.

Ervin: "Hey, but I saw on a study abroad forum that the minimum hourly wage for working in country B is 5.5 pds. Even during the probation period, it cannot be lower than this figure."

Casey said mercilessly: "You are stupid, we are working illegally."

Ervin was shocked: "Huh? Won't we get caught?"

Emily: "The regulations are just written in high-sounding words. International students who really want to make money will not abide by them. Besides, I have been here for a year and I have not heard of anyone around me being caught for adultery. Even if someone comes to investigate, you can say that you are the child of the boss's friend and came to help. The person in charge has no evidence... Well, anyway, Chinese people have a lot of crooked ideas, so don't worry."

There is one thing Ervin doesn't understand: "If you find a job through formal channels, won't the salary be higher?"

Emily: "First, there are relatively few part-time jobs through formal channels, and the requirements for part-timers are quite high. Sometimes it depends on the corresponding major. At the same time, most recruiters will consider locals first. As an international student who is still in the learning stage, I really have no competitiveness. Secondly, the maximum working time for international students in country B is 20 hours per week. Even if the hourly wage is high, the money earned is not much. For example, one of my classmates worked three illegal jobs in one summer vacation, almost ten hours a day, six days a week, and the average hourly wage was 6pds per hour. Can you calculate how much money she can earn in a month?"

Ervin quickly tapped on the calculator. 1440pds... converted to RMB, that's about 17,000? Oh my god!

"I understand..." Ervin was shocked, "I'll think about it."

Emily: "Well, if you've thought it through, you can always give me a call and I can find you a job."

Soo Bin: "Thank you, Kathy."

Soo Bin lay in bed thinking about this, hesitant.

The example given by Casey made him very excited. Seventeen thousand a month, I'm afraid many white-collar workers in China can't earn this amount.

But from childhood to adulthood, except for rushing into the broadcasting room to confess his love to Lily in his second year of high school and falling in love early, he has hardly done anything that violates the system. Although Casey said that most international students work in the police station, it is difficult for Ervin to accept this setting, which chAdrianges his bottom line as a law-abiding citizen.

What's more, the experience of Casey's friend cannot be completely applied to Ervin. After all, he came here to study abroad and it is impossible for him to work full-time.

After struggling for a long time, Ervin suddenly thought that it would be better to go to the street someday to see how much a diamond ring costs. Once he has a definite target amount, he can make a detailed plan!

After figuring this out, Ervin felt relieved.

After the daytime rampage, Ervin must take a shower at night, but Noah has already fAdrian asleep, so Ervin can't use the bathroom. Besides, Adrian also left a note for him to use the bathroom in the morning...

Now speaking of Adrian, Ervin's mind emerged with the other party's sculpture-like face and those faint green eyes, which made him easily think of "vampires"... Although the vampires in the movies are very handsome, beautiful and awesome, but no matter how perfect they are, vampires are ghosts, not humans.

The fact that Adrian looks like a vampire makes Soo-bin feel uneasy...

However, I was just making groundless assumptions. Without any substantial evidence of the other party's "blood-sucking", it would be useless to be suspicious.

...By the way, what time did Evor use the bathroom at night? Ervin fished out the note from his trouser pocket that he had not yet thrown away - 9 to 10 p.m.

When Ervin looked at the time, he found that it was already half past nine!

Ervin resisted the urge to sleep and waited until 10:10, then he walked into the bathroom with a towel. There was still moisture in the room, as well as a faint scent of grass. The tiled walls and mirrors were damp, and it seemed that Evor had just taken a shower.

Ervin suddenly lost all sleepiness. He locked the door nervously and looked around, not knowing what he wanted to find out.

After carefully looking it up and down for about ten minutes and finding nothing strange, Ervin walked into the shower cubicle with confidence...

On the shelf were shower gel, shampoo, and a bottle of facial cleanser, all brands that Ervin had never seen before. Ervin had not had time to buy the first two and planned to borrow them from his roommate temporarily.

The grassy scent in the bathroom comes from Adrian's shower gel. It smells very nice, and the bubbles are very gentle. After washing, the skin feels very comfortable. Ervin carefully looked at the brand and planned to buy a bottle for himself next time...

After taking a shower, Ervin dried his body and squatted on the toilet to relieve himself. But when he was about to throw the tissue into the trash can, his hand suddenly stopped...

......What's this?

I saw several pieces of paper stained with blood in the trash can, which looked shocking among the white!

If the roommate next door was a girl, Ervin could still use "menstrual blood" to convince himself not to have wild thoughts, but how could Ervin, who had seen Evor Somewhere, doubt the other person's gender?

So, could it be... hemorrhoids?

Ervin stared at the paper balls with a curious look on his face. How could hemorrhoids bleed so much? No way! All four or five paper balls were soaked in red!

Or was it a nosebleed? ...But if it was a nosebleed, the tissue would at least be twisted into a strip the size of the nostril, right? This shape is definitely not it!

With Ervin's common sense, he couldn't figure out where the large amount of blood came from. This made him even more nervous, and he began to think in a bad direction...

Or you can just ask Adrian tomorrow out of concern and see how he responds!

After returning to the room, Ervin, who was tired after a day's work, quickly fell asleep with the quilt in his arms. However, after falling asleep, he had a nightmare that almost scared him to death.
