Someone knocked on the door, so it was naturally Gwen who opened the door. After all, Li Jie was just passing by, although it seemed a bit far from Queens, New York, to London.
After Gwen ran to open the door, she said in surprise, "Daisy, you're back so early today, and you didn't bring your key?"
The person who knocked on the door was Gwen's roommate and senior. Daisy Johnson, a graduate student in astrophysics at the University of London.
According to what Gwen had just said, she was a cold beauty. If it wasn't necessary, she didn't like to say a word more.
She fit Gwen's description very well. She simply nodded and said, "Yes."
That one word answered all of Gwen's previous questions. She was wearing a pair of jeans that had holes in them on purpose and an oversized black T-shirt. The T-shirt was so big that she had to tie a knot at the waist to secure it, which revealed the perfect curve of her waist and abdomen.
A large cloth cap covered all of her hair, and Li Jie didn't know if she had long or short hair. However, with her dress and her expressionless face, Li Jie kind of understood why Gwen said that she was more like a singer in an underground band than a graduate student.
She didn't have a student's aura, which was completely different from Gwen. No matter how Gwen dressed herself, she always had a student's aura, but Daisy obviously didn't. However, a graduate student should be considered half a person in society, so it was normal that she didn't look like a student.
While Li Jie was thinking about this, Daisy had already walked into the living room, because the half-open kitchen, dining room, and living room were connected. So Daisy saw Li Jie sitting in the kitchen.
Li Jie smiled and waved at her. After all, Gwen was sharing the house with him, and Daisy was the one who found the house. It was necessary to have a good relationship with such a senior.
Daisy frowned and asked Gwen, "Is he your boyfriend?"
Because Daisy saw the plates and food in the dining room, it was obvious that Gwen had just been cooking. Moreover, she invited a boy to her place and even cooked for him. This kind of relationship could be considered to have reached a relatively intimate stage.
Gwen didn't expect Daisy to say that. The main reason she invited Li Jie to dinner was that Li Jie had traveled thousands of miles to London. As the first friend from the United States to visit her, Gwen felt that it was necessary for her to treat Li Jie well.
It was an accident that he came to London from New York. It was because of Mr. Nightcrawler's intentions towards a certain sorceress. But Gwen was happy because she wanted to find a friend to talk to about all the troubles she had encountered in London in the past month or so.
She had no friends in London, and Li Jie's arrival seemed to have come at the right time.
"No, it's not." Gwen saw that Daisy had misunderstood, so she explained: "He's an old friend of mine, an old friend from New York. He's just here to see how I'm living in London. "
"From New York?" Daisy had spoken more to Gwen today than she had in the past month. She didn't believe that someone would spend thousands or even thousands of euros on a plane ticket from New York to London just to see how an old friend was doing. There must be something wrong here.
But these things were none of Daisy's business. She was already very tired after a day of experiments. She and Professor Erik took the equipment all over London, and sometimes even all over the United Kingdom, to various places to test the data.
It was a tedious and tiring job, including the subtle changes in the parameters of various microatoms. It was not easy for Daisy to finish work early today, and she was not in the mood to deal with her junior's emotional affairs.
She waved at the two of them and was about to go back to her room to rest. But at this time, Li Jie stopped her. "Senior Daisy, you haven't had dinner yet, right? If you don't mind, how about eating together? "
In terms of EQ, Li Jie was much smarter than the couple Peter and Gwen. If Peter's EQ was high enough, there wouldn't have been a rift with Gwen, and he wouldn't have begged Li Jie and Lan to watch A Dog's Mission.
If Gwen's EQ was high enough, she wouldn't have dealt with Peter so simply and rudely. She had been in London for a month, and she still hadn't gotten along well with her senior.
This pair of clowns were typical representatives of high IQ and low EQ. Although Li Jie couldn't catch up with the two of them in terms of IQ, he was much stronger than them in terms of EQ.
Daisy didn't look bad, just a little cold. It didn't matter. After all, she and Gwen weren't familiar with each other, and there was no need to be close to her.
Whether it was because of his relationship with Peter, or because of Li Jie's personal good relationship with Gwen, Li Jie felt that he could help Gwen appropriately.
After all, when he was in New York, Gwen also helped him. Gwen helped him find the house he was living in now.
Of course, Li Jie didn't invite Daisy to dinner to eat Gwen's cooking. In fact, although Gwen tried very hard to cook, the taste was so average that even she didn't like it.
In fact, the food on their plates hadn't been touched much at all.
Li Jie invited Daisy. He believed that food was the best tool to bridge the distance between humans. He decided to cook two dishes for Daisy himself.
Daisy looked at Gwen and then at Gwen's "boyfriend." She shook her head and said, "No, I'm not hungry."
But her body was more honest than her mouth. As soon as she said this, her stomach made a growling sound.
Daisy, who had been cold, finally couldn't hold it in. She quickly turned her back to the two people. It took her a full twenty seconds to turn around.
Li Jie was already standing at the back of the kitchen, waving the ingredients in his hand with a smile on his face.
Now that her stomach had stopped growling, Daisy returned to her cold demeanor and said, "Okay, thank you."
It was the first time that Gwen had invited her senior who had attacked her to dinner. She quickly cleaned up the table and poured out all the food she had made.
Okay, to be honest. With Li Jie's cooking, Gwen didn't want to eat the food she had made at all. It wasn't delicious at all!
Li Jie finally served the two ladies black pepper chicken, onion soup, and tata sauce with grilled mushrooms.
He also made a final dessert, baked apples.
Li Jie's culinary skills had always been top-notch, even though they were all home-cooked dishes. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, the taste was comparable to that of a star restaurant outside.
Because of Daisy's work, most of the time, she could only ask for simple food to fill her stomach. Hamburgers and fish cutlets were the most important foods in her life.
Well, in England, potatoes were also added. The British love potatoes. They love them to the bone. Potatoes could be seen everywhere.
Daisy had had enough of the same food a long time ago. But in England, she couldn't change her taste even if she wanted to!
Although London also had French, Indian, and Chinese food, it was too expensive! She studied all the subsidies, but she couldn't spend it at will.
Li Jie's meal was probably the most comfortable Daisy had eaten in the past six months.
In addition, Li Jie deliberately livened up the atmosphere during the meal, bringing Gwen and Daisy closer.
Daisy thought that Li Jie was a very good boyfriend. After all, not every boyfriend could travel thousands of miles to see his girlfriend.
Many people's girlfriends were in the next city, and a train ticket cost less than 15 euros, but they would rather play LOL in their rooms on weekends than pay attention to their girlfriends. In the end, her girlfriend was taken away, and Daisy felt that it served her right.
But Li Jie looked different, and Daisy felt that she needed to remind Li Jie.
While Gwen helped to get the apple dessert from the oven, she whispered to Li Jie, "Keep an eye on your girlfriend!"
"Hmm?" Li Jie was a little surprised. It seemed that Daisy had misunderstood something. But before he could explain, Daisy continued, "She's been pursued very closely recently. You have to be careful."
Li Jie glanced at Gwen, who was taking out the dessert from the oven, and frowned. Gwen was excellent, beautiful, and attracted a lot of men's attention. He couldn't deny that.
He thought that Gwen being targeted or pursued by other men would at least have to wait until school started.
But hearing Daisy's mysterious words, could it be that there were already men who had begun to attack Gwen?
And Peter in New York was still silly. Did he really think that Gwen had no choice but to leave him? Li Jie suddenly felt a trace of anger towards his old friend for not striving for success and not wanting to improve himself.
