Chapter 42 "You eat your fill and then sleep, what about me...?"

"Senior, you're late today." Lü Dongyi said to the man who arrived late, "I almost overslept too. You know, Professor Jin just has to give big lectures on weekends... and the director made us all come. It's so annoying."

Guan Yue sat down on a reception chair in the exhibition hall, looking down and straightening his clothes: "There was a traffic jam just now."

Fortunately, there was no traffic jam.

Otherwise, he might be an hour late.

After all, the little capybara had been whimpering and clinging to his arm for almost half an hour without letting go.

Lü Dongyi: "Traffic jam? I guess it's peak time right now."

The man tilted his head and happened to see a few hot pimples that had appeared on Guan Yue's forehead.

"Senior, what's wrong with you... going through puberty?"

The man's skin was famously good in the department. No matter how many nights he worked overtime, I never saw him get any pimples, and he hardly even had any acne scars.

"You're probably feeling a bit overheated. Go back and have your wife make you a cooling soup." Lu Dongyi is from Guangcheng and is an exceptional soup-making expert; he always has a bowl of soup with his meals at the department. "I have a recipe here..."

Guan Yue: "He doesn't know how to cook, I'm already being nice by not getting angry."

They also make soup.

He'll get a breakout of acne when he's thirty, and he can only blame it on that stinky capybara.

"Your sister-in-law is so good. Last time in the department, Ya Ya and the others said they ran over to block you. That's how much she cares about you." Lu Dong sighed sadly, "When will someone ever stand in front of me without hesitation?"

Guan Yue: "Maybe in the next life."

Lü Dongyi: "......"

The lecture officially began at that moment. Industry leaders on stage were giving speeches, but Guan Yue stared straight ahead, his eyes seemingly empty.

All I could see in my mind was the little capybara's face with two rosy blushes, softly calling him Dr. Guan.

Then he started crying again, saying he was scared.

As a result, he didn't get to eat anything.

The little capybara, who was always crying and making a fuss, ate and drank its fill, then tilted its head and fell asleep, completely ignoring his life or death.

They might still be sleeping soundly right now.

The man felt aggrieved and frowned slightly, which also touched the two hot pimples on his forehead that had appeared not just last night but this morning.

The veins on my forehead were screaming in pain.

Pei Qi felt like the nerves in his head were screaming at him. There must be two of them fighting each other, otherwise why would his head hurt so much? The pain was so bad that he didn't want to get up at all and just wanted to lie down and sleep.

I was in a daze, not sure how long I had slept, when I finally opened my eyes, the sunlight was already streaming in through the blackout curtains.

As I opened my eyes, a lot of random images began to flood my clear mind.

Then he gradually saw the layout of the room.

It wasn't in the master bedroom, but in the second bedroom where he had slept before.

He couldn't remember when he was moved here to sleep.

But he knew why he had to change rooms to sleep.

......

The capybara desperately wished it could lose its memory right now.

Just like last time I got drunk, it would be best to completely black out.

He buried his head in the pillow and stayed there, mentally preparing himself for a long time.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that I should hurry up and wash the sheets and stuff before Dr. Guan comes back...

When I got up, my feet were still soft and spongy, like walking on cotton.

His clothes were clean; Dr. Guan had probably changed them for him.

He hadn't noticed it while lying down, but now that he was up, he felt the fabric on his body was very irritating.

Especially below the ligament.

It seems that medicine was applied to it as well.

But it was still in the middle of the month.

The young man quickly put down his clothes, his ears turning red, and ran into the master bedroom.

Then they discovered the bed sheet was gone.

After searching for a while, he finally found the bed sheets and duvet cover hanging on the clothes rack on the balcony.

He couldn't help but start calculating how much Dr. Guan had done while he was asleep.

Is this what doctors' ability to stay up all night is like?

But actually it seems... he didn't help Dr. Guan at all.

He originally wanted to help, and although he was scared, he told Dr. Guan that other options could be used.

but......

Dr. Guan was watching him closely, and he kept saying that he had no symptoms, repeating it many times!

The man seemed to be selectively deaf, refusing to listen at all.

The little capybara sat blankly on the sofa, rubbing its face as if reviewing its events.

If you listened, you wouldn't have been so flustered that you sprayed it everywhere...

Thinking this way, the guilt I felt after passing away peacefully and sleeping soundly lessened considerably.

He decided to cook something to eat first, as his stomach was growling.

Upon entering the kitchen, he discovered a pot of cooked vegetable porridge.

Hmm.

Let's discuss how much Dr. Guan did before going to the meeting.

The little capybara ladled out a bowl of hot vegetable porridge. After finishing it, it decided to clear its mind of all distractions, first watering all the houseplants, and then moving the daffodils from the island to the balcony for a sunbath.

After I finished my work, I realized that I hadn't checked my phone since I got up.

It's already 11 o'clock.

I don't know if Dr. Guan has finished his meeting.

He thought that such a meeting about medical technology must be very serious.

So I didn't send a message.

There was a message on WeChat from my senior, Su Mo: "Come over for hot pot tonight."

Seven: [Let me see.]

Su Mo: [To celebrate the successful completion of our exhibition, everyone came, including Master.]

Su Mo: [You should come too.]

Perhaps because he hadn't replied for so long, his mentor sent him a text message.

Chef: [Come have hot pot tonight, Xiaoxi.]

Driver: [Bring your boyfriend along.]

Hmm.

Oh no, just thinking about Dr. Guan makes my lower back ache.

Last night was a terrible ordeal for them.

He really wanted to eat, but he simply didn't have the strength.

So he replied: "Master, I didn't sleep well last night. I'll take a look tonight."

Seven: [Big heart image.]

Master: [Okay, then you can see for yourselves. /[Happy]]

Master: [Why didn't you sleep well? Are you sick?]

Seven: [No, no.]

Seven: [I'm having a bit of insomnia.]

He really couldn't explain why he hadn't slept well.

After explaining things to his master, he was about to ask Dr. Guan if he wanted to go eat hot pot.

The man's message popped up first.

Chef Guan: [Still not awake?]

Seven: [I'm awake.]

Oh no, he felt a little embarrassed just sending messages to Dr. Guan through the screen.

Seven: [My mentors said they're having hot pot tonight, are you coming?]

Seven: [Celebrating the successful exhibition!]

Chef Guan: [Can I go?]

It seems like a pretty normal question.

But for some reason, it always felt a bit like a pretentious rhetorical question.

Seven: [Sure, Master asked you to come along.]

However, the capybara didn't overthink it and replied very sincerely.

Chef Guan: [Let me see.]

Chef Guan: [Who's there?]

Seven: [There should be quite a few people, including my senior and junior brothers, and my master.]

Chef Guan: [Where's that Tong guy?]

Pei Xi's mind raced for a while before she realized who the man was referring to.

Seven: [He might be here. He's very close to Senior Brother Su, so he'll probably come over to visit.]

Chef Guan: Are you going?

He had originally thought it was okay not to go, but now he feels that being absent might not be a good idea.

Seven: [I'll probably go.]

Seven: [It's okay if Dr. Guan doesn't want to go, I can go by myself.]

Chef Guan: [You don't want me to go?]

Seven: [No.]

He didn't understand why Dr. Guan would think that way.

Chef Guan: [Why didn't you text me after you woke up?]

Hmm.

I don't know how we ended up on this topic again.

Seven: [I'm afraid of disturbing Dr. Guan's meeting.]

Seven: [o(^_^)o]

Seven: [Dr. Guan told me not to bother him. /[peek][peek]]

Guan Yue held his phone, looking at the young man's reply on the screen.

It's like gritting your teeth and swallowing it down.

Chef Guan: [I'll go tonight.]

Seven: [Okay.]

Seven: [When will Dr. Guan be back?]

Chef Guan: [Afternoon.]

Chef Guan: [The bed sheet is outside; remember to bring it in later.]

Well, the moment the bed sheet was lifted, the little capybara's ears started to burn again.

Seven: [Okay.]

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun sets early in autumn and winter, Pei Qi went to collect the bed sheets that were still smelling of laundry detergent.

It was washed very clean, without a single unwanted trace.

The doctor also sent a message saying that he was already downstairs and told him to come down directly.

The little capybara quickly changed into a light yellow autumn/winter sweatshirt and ran downstairs.

Then he bent down to fasten his seatbelt, and didn't dare to look up after he finished.

He's really embarrassed to see Dr. Guan now.

It immediately reminded me of the scene where I was being treated by Dr. Guan, losing my way while receiving a call card.

Pei Qi closed her eyes, warning her brain to stop its wandering thoughts.

Guan Yue noticed the capybara's unusual behavior and asked calmly, "What's wrong? Did you sleep in and get a stiff neck?"

"No...no." Pei Qi lowered her eyes, looking at the little cat printed on the hoodie.

Guan Yue still didn't start the car: "Then why are you keeping your head down like that?"

"It's nothing." The capybara raised its neck somewhat helplessly and looked at the windshield.

His gaze was absolutely unwavering.

Like a well-trained soldier.

Guan Yue: "What, are you planning to never look at me again?"

"I..." Pei Qi thought to herself, "That's right, I still have to see..."

So he turned his head a little stiffly.

Dr. Guan's handsome face came into view.

He's still as handsome as ever, except for two pimples that have never appeared on his forehead before.

"Hmm, Dr. Guan." The capybara opened its eyes slightly. "Why do you have pimples?"

Guan Yue: "......"

The instigator was innocent and naive.

Guan Yue: "Then I'll have to ask you."

"I..." The capybara couldn't react.

He only has the skill to repair paper, not the skill to cause acne.

The man said with a hint of resentment, "You eat your fill and then go to sleep, but I didn't eat anything."
