NovelOnlineThe next day, Elliot received a call from Ben who was in Bridgedale.
"Elliot, | asked around, but | didn't hear about Wonder Technologies appearing in the Bridgedale market!" "That news has been deleted." "Oh, there is only one possibility. Wonder Technologies is listed, but the tis not ripe, so there is only gossip for now.
Wanda wants her company to appear in the market. If you hadn't been staring at her all the time, with Wanda's skills, she would have gotten listed." "When are you coming back?" Elliot asked.

His relationship with Lilith had eased a lot compared to before.
He seemed to see hope in front of him.
"Did you not look at the calendar?" said Elliot. "Don't you spend New Year's with your parents yearly? The day of Lilith's competition happens to be New Year's Eve." Ben was stunned. "I didn't look at the calendar. I'll spend New Year's Eve with Lilith! I've spent so many years with my parents, and I'll spend it with Lilith this year. They shouldn't say anything." "Where are you two now?" Ben laughed, the wound on his face hurt, and he gasped immediately.
"F*ck, that b*st*rd Peter hurt my face. | don't dare go out to meet people nowadays. " Ben cursed, "lI wore a mask to go out to find out if Wonder Technologies was going to be listed. | don't dare take off my mask when | see people. When people askwhat's wrong, | lie and say I'm having an allergic reaction." "Is it serious?" "It's fine. | just look a little ugly for the tbeing." Ben looked gloomy. "I don't know if Lilith will perform well on the day of the competition. | plan to go on stage to give her flowers." Elliot listened to his words and remembered a piece of news he had seen two days ago.
"There is a special kind of tree. | forgot its name, but it's the only one of its kind. It is a male tree and has lived for more than 100 years. The female trees have died out, so there is no way for the tree to reproduce, but this male tree that has lived for more than 100 years, >g-=UKS? it still blooms every year...” Ben listened, savored the story Elliot told, and got goosebumps.
"Elliot, | beg you not to talk about it. Why does it sound like a horror story when you tell nice stories." Elliot laughed loudly. "That tree has been single for more than 100 years. You're much luckier than that tree.” "I knew that your ultimate goal was to hurt me." Ben snorted coldly, "Just do your best to hurt me. You won't have a chance when | finish my single life." "Are you that confident?" "I'm not 100% sure. I'm only half sure," Ben said frankly. "Your little sister, She doesn't do things according to common sense. | can't guess what she's thinking every time, nor do | know what she is going to say next.
"That's why she got you hooked," Elliot teased.

Ben laughed, "Maybe it's because | have fallen in love before, butand her, we're just platonic love—" "She isn't in love with you, is she? You should call it unrequited love." "Damn it! You are trying to kill me!" Ben felt bitter. "You don't understandat all." "lI understand. You are getting older, and your desire has diminished, so you start to seek mental stimulation. Isn't that right? " Elliot said.
Ben felt guilty and hung up angrily.
He did not expect Elliot's words to be so poisonous.
That weekend, Avery bought sred paper. She planned to ask Elliot to write scouplets and blessings.
Elliot had been recuperating at hfor a while, occasionally practicing calligraphy.
Once she saw his calligraphy, she was shocked and thought that he could write this year's New Year's couplets and blessings.
"Red paper? Isn't it a bit too much?" Elliot was puzzled.
