What to do if you are spotted by the straight man next door

Seeing that the gentle and considerate man suddenly put on a straight face, Su Bin didn't know what he said wrong, but whether it was the last life or this life, Ellen's volatile personality has not changed at all, so he is not surprised Strange.

However, compared to the previous indifference to his lover's emotional changes, now Su Bin really wants to know what Ellen is thinking.

"What's wrong?" He put down the knife and fork, worried.

Ellen snorted softly, turned her head and asked, "Why did I ask you to eat these before?"

"Ah, because I often cook for everyone, so you reciprocate." Su Bin smiled wryly. Ellen in another time and space is not as cold as the one in front of him. He will accept Su Bin's kindness and often give Su Bin Bin responded, "In the past, I was actually quite afraid of you and always avoided you, but you were very kind to me, often helping me, making me coffee, and treating me to dinner... Ah yes, you still remember Did you praise me for speaking English well before? That’s what you taught too.”

Ellen: "..."

"When I first came to country B, I had a lot of problems with oral grammar and etiquette. You often corrected me. After being with you for a long time, I slowly spoke better," Su Bin paused and said in a low voice. , "But I don't know why, let's do it again, I want to get close to you, but you keep rejecting me and are very polite to me."

Ellen was silent for a while, and said: "Because your behavior makes me feel very strange and makes me wary."

Su Bin can't laugh or cry, in his last life he was afraid of Ellen, but Ellen got close to him and teased him;

"What about now?" Su Bin looked at Ellen expectantly, almost engraving the words "I'm harmless" on his forehead.

Ellen reached out and rubbed Su Bin's head, and said, "Eat first, the food is cold."

Su Bin: "..."

After the meal, Ellen casually asked about what happened between Su Bin and "him" in another time and space. Su Bin said a lot, and when he recalled it, he was always smiling, but occasionally he also showed some sad emotions. It may be thinking of the passing of "that him".

Before he knew it, it was bedtime, and Su Bin realized that Ellen, who had previously claimed to have something to do at night, hadn't gone anywhere.

Seeing that Ellen didn't intend to keep him overnight, Su Bin was also embarrassed to beg for nothing. Although he hoped that Ellen could accept him as soon as possible, this day's tenderness could not change the status quo too much.

Su Bin advised himself to be patient, what happened today was enough for him to recall for a long time...

Putting on his nightgown, he got out of bed and walked to the door. Su Bin finally couldn't hold back, turned his head and asked, "Can I still come...to see you in the future?"——What do you want him to do? The reaction on the cheeks is self-evident.

Ellen raised her eyebrows and teased him, "You want to warm my bed so much?"

Su Bin: "..."

Ellen glanced at his legs: "I can't even stand still, and I'm still trying to be brave. Let's go back and rest before we talk."

——He was afraid that if he kept this guy here at night, he would be uncontrollably wanting him again.

The next day Ellen went out on business, Su Bin asked to come into his room before he left, and wanted to take the initiative to clean the bed sheets and quilt covers that were soiled yesterday for him.

Ellen was slightly taken aback, and said, "Go in, you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing in the future."

Su Bin was very grateful for such a privilege. After doing that kind of thing yesterday, Ellen's attitude towards him has changed significantly. Although the relationship between the two is not as close as in the previous life, at least Ellen is not will reject him again...

Taking advantage of Ellen's absence, Su Bin sneaked onto the bed again, hugged his pillow, smelled the scent left on it, and fantasized about a bright future by himself, blushing.

After taking a nap to replenish his energy, Su Bin cheerfully cooked dinner for his roommates at night. It happened that Ellen came back and joined everyone's dinner for the first time.

"Su Bin, your skills are really invincible..." During the dinner, Jin Fei was full of praise for Su Bin's cooking, "Are you interested in opening a restaurant in country B? My brother will invest in you!"

Su Bin was still smiling, but when he heard the latter sentence, his face turned pale.

In the previous life, Ellen had an accident in the restaurant he owned, and then she was sent to the hospital and died. Thinking of that scene, Su Bin felt as if he was suffocating.

It would have been fine if he hadn't run away, if he hadn't hired that chef, if there had been no "Boss Su"... After losing Ellen, Su Bin had imagined these "ifs" countless times, hoping that history would change He just wanted Ellen to be by his side—this was a thorn in his heart, and once again, he never wanted to open a restaurant again.

Su Bin lost his mind and said, "Ah, I'm not interested."

Jin Fei just mentioned it casually, and after hearing Su Bin's refusal, he stopped talking about this topic.

Ellen, on the other hand, caught Su Bin's emotional change at that moment, and immediately remembered the story told by the other party, and was in a complicated mood for a while.

The "self" who has left has left an indelible pain in Su Bin's memory.

Obviously he is still alive, but he has already died once in this person's heart.

Ellen didn't understand, in Su Bin's heart, what kind of existence was she...a substitute?The object of redemption?Knowing that it is meaningless to entangle these issues, but I still can't help caring and worrying...

Although Jin Fei's proposal disappointed Su Bin, it also made him think about his future development.

In his previous life, he made a strange contract with Ellen after falling out of love, and completely handed himself over, so Ellen took charge of his life, from dropping out of school and transferring to M University, to continuing his own life in country B after graduation. In his career, Su Bin lived under the towering tree of Ellen, and his journey went smoothly.

But this time was different, he didn't want to rely on Ellen's love for him in the previous life, and he took it for granted that the current Ellen would treat him in the same way.

He wants to stay in country B by his own ability and find a job that can support him.

After going shopping in the city center after a few days, Su Bin stopped in front of the familiar jewelry store.

He once bought a ring for Ellen, but he hesitated to give it away, but in the end he never had the chance to give it away again. This is also his great regret.

Now without the blessing of "Boss Su", it is really difficult to buy a ring worth tens of thousands of yuan, but the idea of ​​buying a ring still lingers in Su Bin's mind, which further deepens his desire to find a job to make money desire.

Su Bin, who has already gone to university once, does not need to worry about his studies, and his fluent English is a plus for him, but it is not easy to find a stable high-paying job before he gets his diploma.

Knowing that Ellen didn't like doing illegal work by himself, Su Bin didn't dare to try to work illegally again. He stayed on the foreign student part-time job website for several months, and finally saw a job that was very suitable for him-life assistant.

The so-called life assistant is to assist the employer to deal with some trivial matters in life, including tidying up the room, cleaning, cooking, etc. It sounds lofty, but in fact, this kind of work has another name in China, nanny.

In foreign countries, many wealthy second-generation international students also look for life assistants. Jin Fei used to look for assistants when he lived alone.

In the recruitment notice that Su Bin saw, the employer is a Chinese surnamed Shen who has his own business in M ​​City. Because he is usually busy with work, his self-care ability is very poor, and his stomach is weak due to long-term irregular diet, so he wants to find someone who will Part-time students who cook Chinese food take care of their daily meals.

The "working place" indicated by that person was about two bus stops away from Su Bin's residence, and the salary was extremely high. This was an excellent job for Su Bin, who was good at cooking.

He quickly edited his resume and sent a few photos of his delicious food.

Fortunately, the employer replied to his email that night and asked him to come for an interview the next day.

Afterwards, the interview process went very smoothly. The employer was younger than Su Bin imagined, and his attitude was very gentle, but he was really "busy". He asked Su Bin to cook something casually. During this period, Su Bin heard him constantly answering calls in the living room After making the phone call, Su Bin tidied up the messy kitchen for him - there were a lot of takeaway boxes piled up there, some of which were still filled with food, and they were not eaten at all.

After tidying up, Mr. Shen came back to taste Su Bin's dishes, and said, "Start working tomorrow. You can take the spare key card. I'm not at home sometimes. You record the working hours yourself, and the hourly salary will be based on what I pay for you." The online part-time jobs at the school will be calculated once a week and will be charged to your card."

Su Bin has never seen such a straightforward employer who asked him to keep track of working hours?It's too casual! "Do you have any other requirements?" It's better to ask more details about the work content and try to satisfy the other party.

Mr. Shen smiled: "You can take care of it yourself, oh yes, I will regularly put some of the money on the porch bar for you to purchase ingredients and some daily necessities, well, this is my personal phone, what's the matter?" Come to me with questions."

As he said that, the other party's cell phone rang again. The man rubbed his temples and pressed the answer button. He nodded apologetically to Su Bin, signaling him to go back by himself.

Part-time work has never been easier. Su Bin only needs to spare time every day to buy something and go to the other party's house to cook and clean.

Mr. Shen’s home was well-equipped. He was not at home when he went there on the first day. Su Bin carefully noted down the time when he entered the house, bought some fruit and milk, made some porridge, made two dishes and one soup and put them in the incubator. Cleaned up the living room for him, and it took less than two hours.

In the evening, I received a text message from the other party, saying that the food was delicious, and I also made a note that I hope Su Bin can help tidy up the other rooms when he is free. When he goes back the next day, the doors of the study and bedroom are all open.

Su Bin found that the other party's study was scattered with a pile of financial investment books, and probably guessed the other party's occupation, it seemed that he was a "peer".

Went there for a week in a row, and Su Bin only saw the other party once. When the weekly salary was settled, Su Bin reported that the working hours were twelve hours, but the other party called him almost twenty hours' wages, which was equivalent to Su Bin's previous whole weekend working illegally to wash dishes. Twice as much—so he could save enough to buy a ring in half a year!

Su Bin, who originally wanted to find another part-time job, was stunned by the big pie that fell from the sky that day, but he is not a greedy person, so he sent a text message to Mr. Mr. Shen replied: "You didn't count the travel expenses, you did a good job, and the rest will be tipped."

Su Bin was surprised. The "distance fee" mentioned by the other party refers to the time fee for the round trip, but how did Mr. Shen know that the time he quoted did not include the travel time?
