Looking at the expectant look on Sherri Leng's face, Elliot Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny, but his expression didn't change at all. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and took a big bite. Sure enough, it was the familiar taste of that year. The noodles were full of the flavor, which reminded him of the first time when he met Sherri. "Not bad. " Elliot nodded slightly.
Although it was only three simple words, not even a praise, but Sherri clearly saw the smile at the corners of Elliot's eyes, and the overflowing satisfaction and happiness. It was said that Elliot was cool and serious, so his reaction was already a good praise to her. For some reason, at this moment, Sherri really wanted to hear more praise from him.
"What do you mean by 'not bad'? Although it's simple, it takes a lot of effort. The details can't be ignored. " Sherri also tasted the noodles and said, "yes! It seems that my cooking skills are still there! "
"Yeap, it did not get lagged behind."
"Then you should change your way of commenting my food. Isn't it good?"
"Sherri, your noodle is perfect."
Sherri just wanted to make Elliot's reaction stronger. At least, he not only nodded, but also said "not bad". But she did not expect that Elliot would say that her noodles were perfectly made, which made her feel embarrassed. "Not perfect just yet." Sherri smiled shyly.
Elliot couldn't help but curl his lips. Although he didn't smile often, but he looked very beautiful as long as he smiled. Like the first ray of sunlight in the morning, it was so golden that everything lost its light. Looking at the smile of Elliot, Sherri felt her heart beating faster. She hurriedly ate the noodles to hide her abnormality.
"Sherri." Elliot's voice was also very pleasant to hear.
"Hmm?" Hearing Elliot's sound, Sherri raised her head subconsciously, with the unfinished noodles in her mouth. The man's face opposite her was getting bigger and bigger. His good-looking eyebrows and deep eyes suddenly stopped, that she could even hear his breath. Before Sherri could react, she only felt that the corner of her mouth being softened. It was because that Elliot's index finger was attached to the corner of her mouth.
"Are you an idiot? You can even have the stain on your face when you eat noodles?" With a gentle touch of Elliot's index finger, he moved the small piece of dough from the corner of Sherri's mouth to his fingertips. Then he licked his fingertips gently. The whole action was smooth and natural, as if he was doing the most ordinary thing.
As if nothing had happened, Elliot returned to his seat and continued to enjoy his dinner elegantly. However, Sherri couldn't be as calm as he was. It seemed that there was still some warmth left in the place she touched just now. She touched the corner of her mouth as if she was thinking about something.
The dinner time passed happily. Today was very memorable for Sherri. She seemed to have returned to her free college time, which was full of worries about her dissertation and final exam. As soon as she recalled the school days, she would feel relaxed instantly. All of a sudden, it occurred to her that she came here not for traveling, but for work. Sherri asked Elliot, "where are we going to meet the partner tomorrow?"
"Don't worry." Elliot just poured a glass of hot milk and handed it to Sherri. "We are going to Boulevard de Haussemann tomorrow."
Sherri took the milk and repeated the place that Elliot had just mentioned. Boulevard de Haussemann? She remembered that it was a famous commercial street, isn't it? There were shopping malls of various sizes on the street. It was a paradise for people to go shopping. "What are you going to do there? Is there anything you want to buy?"
"Well, I don't have much luggage with me. And," said Elliot, looking at Sherri. "There's stuff you will also need."
"Me?" "I don't seem to have anything to buy? Don't bother. "
"Then you can buy whatever you like. You can ask the consignor to consign it back home if there are a lot you want." Elliot shrugged slightly. Obviously, this reason did not convince him.
"But..." Sherri still wanted to defend herself, but she was interrupted by Elliot. "It's late now. It may consume a lot of energy tomorrow. Go take a shower and have a good sleep. This is your room key." "My room is next to yours. I'll be going to bed now. Good night, Sherri." After giving her an affectionate look, Elliot turned around and left.
Looking at the small key in Sherri's hand, she was somewhat absent-minded. Last time when she was in a daze, she actively threw herself into the arms of Elliot. That night was really crazy. When she woke up, she only felt sore all over her body and almost couldn't walk. By rights, they were already a real couple, but he still respected her very much. After that night, he did not do anything out of line, but still slept in separate rooms with her. When he came to France a thousand miles away, he was still a gentleman to the end. Unless she took the initiative, Elliot would never force her, which made her a little moved.
