Chapter 19 Pei Xi was thankful that she was wearing a mask...

Pei Xi was glad that she was wearing a mask.

It won't be too embarrassing.

The young doctor has already walked to the desk.

“My name is Lü Dongyi, my sister-in-law can call me Xiao Lü or Xiao Dong.”

sister in law?

sister in law...!

Pei Xi couldn't desensitize at all.

Subconsciously, he pulled the mask that was stuck to the bridge of his nose up a little higher, and stood up somewhat awkwardly: "Hello."

At that time, Guan Yue and several other doctors also came in through the door.

"Tianyu, keep a close eye on bed 31 tonight," the man said to another doctor beside him.

"OK."

Then, everyone's eyes fell on Pei Qi.

Pei Xi felt as if he were some rare and unusual creature.

I still have to say something.

"Hello everyone," the little capybara said weakly.

Then I received a unanimous and resounding reply: "Hello, sister-in-law."

Pei Qi stood frozen in place, no longer able to make any small movements to save herself, and could only cast a pleading look at Guan Yue.

The man was standing the furthest away from him, giving off an air of detachment and leisurely watching the show.

The capybara suddenly got a little angry.

"Sister-in-law, when did you two get your marriage certificate? You were so secretive about it." Lu Dongyi stepped forward. "Your senior brother is really something, keeping it a secret so well."

“Yes, we should at least treat everyone to a meal, it’s such a joyous occasion,” the doctor named “Tianyu” chimed in.

“Aren’t you on duty today? Fine, I’ll treat you today.” The person who had been standing by finally spoke up.

Tianyu exclaimed, "No, no, I have to wait until I have my vacation."

Lü Dongyi: "It will have to wait until I have my vacation."

Another doctor, who looked a little older, laughed and said, "You'll have to carefully look at the schedule and calculate the days."

The man in the back row walked towards the young man, reached out, and took the young man's slender wrist: "Let's go."

Lü Dongyi: "Let's go now!"

Guan Yue ignored him and led the young man outside.

"Bye-bye, sister-in-law!" Lü Dongyi shouted from behind.

The capybara was once again glad that it was wearing a mask, but its already bright red ears still gave it away.

Guan Yue caught a glimpse of the young man's ruddy earlobe out of the corner of his eye, and his lips under the mask couldn't help but curve into a wide smile.

He led the young man to the door of the changing room before letting go of his hand: "I'm going to change my clothes. Wait here for me for a while."

Pei Xi: "Okay."

Soon, the man changed into his private clothes and came out of the room.

A very summery outfit: a sky-blue shirt over a white tank top, revealing a slender neck and collarbone, and below that, a prominent chest.

It was hidden inside a thin white vest.

The attempt to cover it up only makes it more obvious.

Pei Xi quickly looked away.

Cough cough cough... It seems like those men with big... something in some comics he read in college.

Guan Yue: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

The two stood in front of the elevator, which hadn't arrived yet.

Pei Xi: "Either is fine."

The elevator doors opened with a "ding".

There was no one inside.

The two walked in together.

Pei Qi finally snapped out of her reverie and remembered to ask the important question: "Um, have you told them about our marriage yet?"

Guan Yue wasn't guilty at all and said frankly, "They're very gossipy, they guessed it."

Pei Xi: "You didn't deny it?"

“It’s true, why should I deny it?” the man replied.

That's true...

Pei Xi pursed her lips: "But this way, they'll all know."

That's exactly what I want—they all know it.

The man calmly watched the elevator floors descend: "They know. I'm the one who should be thinking about the consequences. What are you so anxious about?"

"Then... what will the consequences be?" The capybara turned its head and looked at the man's face, which was half covered by a mask.

"The consequence is..." The man's tone turned slightly lower, but his eyebrows were raised.

Pei Qi's throat tightened, thinking there might be some serious consequences: "What?"

But thinking about it carefully, doctors aren't Taoist priests.

Getting married shouldn't violate any industry regulations.

Um......

“When other people in our department get married, they all host a dinner party and give out wedding candies. At that time…” The man paused, “and we need you to be there.”

Pei Xi: "Is that all?"

"Otherwise, what does Teacher Pei think will happen?"

The elevator dinged again at that moment, and the automatic doors slowly opened to both sides.

Pei Xi stepped out of the elevator, chuckled twice, and tried to evade the question.

He was embarrassed to admit that he was currently imagining the scene of a Taoist priest being expelled from his sect.

It was almost seven o'clock when I got back to the apartment.

I've been quite busy with work these past few days, and when I get home I don't have time to let my mind wander. I just sit on the sofa in the living room with my laptop, engrossed in typing away.

During today's lecture, a student raised several questions about making paste and the different types of paste. He thought he could create a mind map with annotations to make it clearer to everyone.

Paste, while seemingly not particularly special in repair techniques, appears to be used in almost every aspect of the process.

It would be good if you could explain it in more detail.

Guan Yue leaned against the living room wall and casually asked, "Have you been busy lately?"

"It's alright, it's just that I've been giving lectures recently, so I've been doing some preparation work." Pei Qi said while still typing on the keyboard.

"You can go to the study. Is it comfortable to stay here?"

The little capybara was nestled in a corner of the sofa, with a laptop propped up on its lap.

Guan Yue: "This posture is very bad for the cervical spine."

Without hesitation, Pei Qi replied, "Doesn't Dr. Guan use the study every night?"

The man's gaze fell squarely on the young man: "My study isn't small; it can accommodate two people."

Pei Qi was aware of this, but he was still worried that his rapid typing would disrupt other people's train of thought.

"I think it's more... more efficient to write it here." He paused slightly, uttering a nonsensical statement.

Guan Yue: "......"

The man left, followed by the sound of the door closing.

With a "bang".

She seemed a little emotional.

But the capybara, focused solely on its "paste business," was oblivious to this.

He was still thinking about finishing writing this point, but he still had to fill out the monthly repair summary for his workplace.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but it probably hadn't been long.

Because he hadn't even finished creating his mind map yet.

The sofa next to me suddenly sank down.

That's when he noticed.

Guan Yue placed the computer on his lap and sat down on the sofa.

"..."

Pei Qi turned her head and stared at the man in front of her who was working with a serious expression.

Pei Qi: "Dr. Guan... what brings you here?"

“Didn’t Teacher Pei say that sitting here is more efficient? I’ll give it a try.” The man’s gaze remained fixed on the screen in front of his lap.

Pei Xi: "Hmm, but didn't Dr. Guan say that sitting like this is bad for the cervical spine?"

Guan Yue: "......"

About five seconds passed.

"I can't sit like this."

The capybara shifted its gaze and carefully observed Dr. Guan's sitting posture.

Dr. Guan's feet were on the ground, and his posture was indeed upright, without hunching his back or pressing his neck.

It does seem quite different from his cross-legged, curled-up posture.

The little capybara followed suit, putting its legs down from the sofa and sitting up straight: "I'll try sitting like this too."

Then, the two of them stood side by side and typed on the keyboard for a long time.

As he continued tapping, Pei Qi naturally returned to his previous curled-up sitting posture; it was still more comfortable to be nestled up like that...

After finishing the mind map, I opened the end-of-month summary document and the little capybara yawned twice, its eyes squinting.

I didn't sleep well last night, and now I'm feeling sleepy uncontrollably.

He leaned back on the soft backrest, bent his legs, and continued writing while supporting the keyboard.

He couldn't help but yawn twice more.

Meanwhile, the man beside her remained in the same position, methodically typing on the keyboard.

The living room was quiet except for the rhythmic tapping.

It won't be noisy.

On the contrary... it's very hypnotic.

Guan Yue was conducting his August rounds at the moment, his brow furrowed involuntarily, his slender fingers expertly tapping the keyboard.

During the halftime break, he made sure the document was saved before slowly closing his laptop.

Only then did he see it.

The little capybara beside me is asleep.

The notebook on my lap had long since slipped off onto the sofa.

Perhaps because the living room air conditioner was set a little too low, the little capybara curled up in a ball, its back arched, like a cooked little shrimp.

The man leaned closer.

He originally just wanted to get the capybara to bed.

Just for the moment they got close.

A faint plum fragrance filled my nostrils.

Before me was the little capybara's soft, fair, and delicate face and moist lips.

And, that sexy mole behind her earlobe.

His thoughts suddenly changed.
