Chapter 443 Guan Juer 14
She sat up, picked up a water glass from the bedside table, and took a sip of water.
Only then did she have the mind to look at her phone. Zhou Ling had sent her a message before leaving the house, reminding her to eat something when she got up.
Knowing she wouldn't get up in the morning, I didn't mention breakfast.
Guan Juer didn't want to get up, so she simply opened the game and played a round.
Just as she was having a great time, she heard someone knocking on the door.
Just as she was about to get up to open the door, it opened automatically, and Xiao Qi and Yun Shang walked in.
"We're back! Aren't you surprised? Did you miss us, host?" Xiao Qi's excited voice came through the phone.
Yunshang put down the suitcase she was carrying, took two bottles of water from the refrigerator, and gave one to Xiaoqi.
She then said, "We just got back. We came over as soon as we knew you were at Ode to Joy."
Guan Juer smiled and said, "I missed you guys so much! I gritted my teeth every day looking at the photos you sent me, feeling so envious and jealous."
"I see that now that the host has a man, she's clearly having a great time and doesn't want to leave," Xiao Qi teased.
Guan Juer coughed and changed the subject: "Who said that? Did you bring me a gift?"
“I brought them all. They’re all in my suitcase. The rest are in my spatial storage,” Yunshang said.
Xiao Qi added, "We didn't forget about you just because we went out."
Knowing that Xiaoqi was subtly criticizing him, he rarely contacts them.
Guan Juer felt a slight pang of guilt for a second: "How about I cook tonight?"
Although the auntie at the villa cooks delicious food, we can often find different dishes outside.
But cooking for yourself has a unique flavor. Although she is usually too lazy to cook, it is actually quite simple for her to stir-fry a dish.
"Great! We've eaten so much delicious food while out and about, but the host's cooking is still the best."
"I don't believe it," Guan Juer said with some doubt.
"Really." Xiao Qi added in her mind, in her heart the host would definitely be number one for home-cooked dishes.
Yunshang nodded in agreement: "I also think that the food outside is not as good as what you make. I'll go buy groceries later."
"Okay, I'll play a few games first." I just got interested, I'll play for a while before getting up.
Xiao Qi said, "I'm going to buy groceries too, and I'll also buy some food to bring back."
"Then buy more, there are five of us having dinner tonight." Guan Juer had already sent a message to Cheng Lu on her phone, inviting her to dinner that night.
I'll take this opportunity to introduce Zhou Ling to everyone.
Yunshang nodded: "Okay, I'll drive there."
"The car keys are on the shoe cabinet by the door. You can get them yourself later."
Yunshang nodded, and Xiaoqi scratched her head: "I need to start arranging my driving practice too."
He also wanted to follow local customs. Although he could have gotten his own driver's license, he still wanted to experience the process of taking the driving test.
Later that evening, the two went out to buy groceries. Guan Juer put down her phone and went into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, she put on a face mask and then went to steam the rice.
Not long after, Xiao Qi and Yun Shang returned carrying their things.
"We're back! We bought lots of food." Xiao Qi walked ahead, looking very happy.
Guan Juer looked over and saw that each of them was carrying a large bag; one was full of vegetables, and the other was full of snacks.
"I've already cooked the rice, you can start preparing the other ingredients."
Yunshang nodded and went to prepare the vegetables. Xiaoqi took a banana and ate it while helping out.
Guan Juer turned on the TV to add a lively atmosphere to the house.
She sat down on the sofa to reply to Zhou Ling's message and mentioned that everyone would be having dinner together at home that evening.
Zhou Ling replied shortly after: "I'm really looking forward to you cooking. I'll go back early to help."
"I have help, you don't need to rush." Guan Juer took a picture of Xiao Qi and Yun Shang busy in front of the open kitchen.
Zhou Ling opened the picture and glanced at it, feeling even more determined to go back early. Tonight, she was going to meet her friends, and it was important to make a good impression.

Over here, Cheng Lu woke up and habitually checked her phone first. When she saw the message from Guan Juer, she immediately dialed the number.
"Hey, you're just waking up?"
Cheng Lu's voice was weak and listless, as if she had just woken up: "Yes, I just went to sleep this morning. When I woke up, I saw your message and immediately felt that today was a good day. I've known you for so long but I've never eaten your cooking."
"You're already so talkative this early in the morning? Looks like you were in a good mood yesterday."
"It's alright, I'm up now, we'll talk when we meet."
"it is good."
After hanging up, Cheng Lu called again an hour later, asking her to come downstairs to answer the phone. She was puzzled as to why Cheng Lu needed to answer the phone when Cheng Lu had driven in.
But Guan Juer still told Xiao Qi and Yun Shang before taking her phone and going downstairs.
When she arrived at the underground parking lot, she saw Cheng Lu waving at her.
"Come here quickly, I brought you a case of fine wine and some tonics. I can't carry it up by myself."
"You're here, why did you bring anything?"
"I originally planned to bring two bottles of wine, but I went home and just grabbed a few more for you."
"Alright then." Guan Juer picked up the case of wine, looking quite relaxed.
Cheng Lu carried several bags of supplements as the two entered the elevator: "Is it heavy?"
"not heavy."
"You're strong, that's impressive."
The elevator reached the first floor, and Qiu Yingying walked in. Seeing Guan Juer, she said happily, "Guan Guan, it's been so long since I've seen you."
She didn't know Cheng Lu, so she didn't talk to her and didn't know that the two were friends; she just thought they were people in the elevator.
Guan Juer thought to herself, "She really is the main character; she always manages to run into a few people on the 22nd floor."
"Yes, how have you been lately?"
The last time I saw her, she was heartbroken and unemployed.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yingying smiled and said, "That's great. I work at a coffee shop now. You can come to our shop for coffee when you have time."
"Send me the shop name and location when you get back. I'll go when I have time and buy some coffee."
Qiu Yingying nodded first, then thought of something else: "If you want to buy coffee, we now have an online store, you can order directly online, and we give you milk balls and sugar as a gift."
"Sure, just send me the name of your online store later."
"I'll send it to you now." Qiu Yingying happily took out her phone.
The elevator reached the 22nd floor, and Qiu Yingying had just finished sending the message: "I've sent it to you. I'm going out now. Let's chat again when we have time."
"Ok, bye."
Cheng Lu watched the whole thing from the side and said, "Your neighbor is quite simple and warm-hearted."
"Yes, let's go now." The elevator had just reached the twenty-third floor, and Guan Juer didn't say anything more.
They opened the door and went inside. After putting their things down, Guan Juer opened the refrigerator and got her some water.
Cheng Lu walked up to the two busy people with water in her hand: "Xiao Qi, Yun Shang, you're already busy."
"Sister Lu, you're here," Xiao Qi said, turning around.
Yunshang smiled at her and continued with her work.
