Chapter 65 "I like you very much too."...

The master bedroom has excellent natural light, with sunlight almost coinciding with the sun's rays.

So the capybara just now specially drew a blackout curtain.

At this moment, only the capybara nightlight shone softly in the bedroom, accompanied by the occasional sound of traffic outside the window.

Also, right next to the base of the ear.

The sound of Guan Yue's heartbeat.

It was a very regular, powerful thumping sound.

But at this moment, the capybara could only hear its own heartbeat, thumping and pounding erratically.

He pursed his lips, clenched his fist, and dug his fingertips into his flesh.

The man holding him remained silent for a long time.

They just pulled their arms even tighter.

Then, with a hint of helplessness, he said, "So what do you think?"

He noticed that Dr. Guan would always ask him questions that he couldn't quite answer.

Now it was his turn to be silent, and he remained silent for a long while.

Guan Yue, however, did not give up: "Hmm?"

"I...I don't know either..." the capybara said sincerely.

Guan Yue closed his eyes and sighed.

She sighed very softly, but Pei Xi heard her.

The little capybara raised its eyes, its round eyes shining like stars: "You sighed..."

"Yes, I sighed." Guan Yue pursed his lips, looking down at the little capybara in his arms. "So... what do you think is my motivation for liking to hold you and kiss you?"

"I..." Pei Qi was stumped again. He just didn't understand what Dr. Guan's mindset was, which was why she had thought about it all night. "I thought... Dr. Guan had this kind of...hobby..."

He originally wanted to say "fetish," but it seemed like that would sound a bit perverted, so he used a more euphemistic way of saying it.

Guan Yue: "......."

"It doesn't necessarily mean he likes me, but he does. At least I don't think Dr. Guan does," the capybara said with certainty.

Guan Yue frowned slightly: "Why?"

"Because... Dr. Guan used to kiss me, but it seemed to be just for physiological needs?" Pei Xi wasn't sure, that was just her feeling.

Because the current Dr. Guan might make him wonder if she might like him, but if it were the previous Dr. Guan, he would never have thought about it so narcissistically.

Guan Yue: "........."

"So you think that when I hug you, kiss you, cook for you, make sure you eat three meals a day, invite you on dates, and send you flowers... all of these are just... my physical needs?"

Hmm...

That makes sense, this "need" seems rather strange.

Pei Qi licked her still-wet lips and said awkwardly, "It doesn't seem... quite right."

The beginning and end are not quite right.

Guan Yue: "........."

It's not that he couldn't say those words directly, but he was so angry at this little capybara that his head was throbbing, and with no rest for a day and a night, his nerves were being stimulated so much that they were twitching repeatedly.

Pei Xi felt that Dr. Guan's breathing seemed to have become heavier.

He quickly said, "I'm not going to talk about it anymore. Let's chat again after you wake up."

He said, his handsome face tilted upwards, "Goodnight."

Then, as if to soothe him, she stretched her neck and kissed the corner of his lips.

It was as if an ice crystal had suddenly been thrown into a blazing fire.

It suddenly went silent.

The familiar sweet scent of plums gradually blended with the surrounding air, and my restless heart slowly calmed down.

The man slept very soundly, probably because he was really too tired.

Because usually, when Pei Xi tries to get out of Dr. Guan's arms, the man will wake up.

But not today.

He successfully slipped out of the man's arms and out of the bedroom without waking the sleeping man.

It was already noon, so he decided to reheat the remaining congee with preserved egg and lean pork to have a quick meal before cooking dinner.

At that moment, my phone rang twice; it was a message from Dr. Guan's mother.

Since adding Luo Zhaoyun on WeChat, the woman often sends him messages, sometimes just ordinary greetings, sometimes asking if he wants her to buy him something he saw.

Today is no exception.

Aunt Luo: [Xiaoqi, have you eaten yet?]

Aunt Luo: [Your Uncle Guan and I went to Haishi today. We'll bring you some local specialties when we get back.]

Aunt Luo: [You're not allergic to seafood, right? /[smiley face]]

Seven: [I'm not allergic, thank you Aunt Luo.]

Aunt Luo: [You're welcome.]

Aunt Luo: [A-Yue is usually busy with work, and her personality is like mine; sometimes she has a bad temper and says hurtful things.]

Aunt Luo: [I should thank you for agreeing to marry him.]

Aunt Luo: [If you need any help from us in your work or life, please don't hesitate to ask!]

Pei Xi looked at the message sent by Aunt Luo.

She has a bad temper and speaks rudely.

Ha ha.

No one knows a child better than their mother.

However, Dr. Guan seems to have lost his temper these days.

It feels like it's heading towards another extreme.

The change was too fast; he was still a bit caught up in it.

The sun is shining brightly outside, and with a gentle breeze, the cedar trees on the balcony sway softly in the wind.

As the little capybara squatted down to water it, the scent of cedar wafted into his nostrils.

Even the dark, airtight master bedroom was filled with a faint scent of cedar.

The man on the bed turned over and felt that the space beside him was empty. The plum scent that used to comfort him had faded to the point that he could hardly smell it anymore.

The man frowned slightly and opened his eyes, which held a hint of coolness.

The capybara is not here.

I feel inexplicably irritable.

I glanced at the time; it was 3:30 PM.

I slept for about six hours.

The phone showed several unread messages.

It was a message sent to me by my elderly father.

Calm and collected: [My dear son, let me show you the fish I caught today.]

Calm and breezy: [A bumper harvest. /[smug][smug]]

Calm and breezy: [Image: jpg]

Guan Yue didn't even click on the picture; her mind was a bit of a mess.

Suddenly remembering something, he simply called Guan Yuanshan.

The phone rang several times before it was finally answered.

The background noise on the other end of the phone was a bit loud: "What's wrong, son?"

Guan Yue: "Is Mom next to you?"

Guan Yuanshan: "He's not here. He went to visit the cultural center by the sea. I'm grilling fish here..."

Guan Yue: "Oh...alone?"

Guan Yuanshan chuckled twice: "Yeah, what's the matter? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Guan Yue held up his phone, slowly straightened his back, and leaned against the headboard: "Dad."

"What's wrong? You're going to scare your dad. Did you break up with your girlfriend or lose your job?" Guan Yuanshan was flipping the sea fish on the grill.

Guan Yue: "......"

"I wanted to ask... do you think Mom... loves you?"

"Of course, your mom loves me, she just doesn't know how to say nice things, you know... I had a bit of a headache a few days ago, and she got really worried and insisted I go to the hospital..."

The man's voice on the phone was loud and clear; just from his tone, you could feel the happiness of being loved.

Guan Yue: "Then why... do people feel uncertain about my feelings for him?"

"Are you going to be so stubborn with Xiaoqi too?" Guan Yuanshan bluntly pointed out. "That won't do. You can't do that. Not everyone is as thick-skinned as your dad. I was only able to pursue your mom because I was thick-skinned enough... Besides, we've been together for so many years. I know your mom is just that kind of person—stubborn on the outside but soft on the inside. But your situation with Xiaoqi is different... You've only just started dating, and you're still getting to know each other..."

"You can't be like your mother at this time, having a mouth but not using it properly. You need to express your feelings properly... It's not enough to just do things without saying them, and of course, it's not enough to just talk without doing them either. You must be able to both talk and do, that's the best..."

Guan Yuanshan talked on and on on the phone for a long time, while Guan Yue held the phone, his mind a jumble of emotions.

The sun outside was gradually setting in the west, its rays turning fiery red.

Pei Qi brought in all the potted plants that were sunbathing outside, rinsed the rice, and then pressed the cook button.

Outside the large glass window in the kitchen, patches of fiery red sunset clouds were reflected.

The ice-blue plants that he kept on the island platform with ice water last night are still in full bloom today, and a few buds are gradually opening up.

Very beautiful.

Pei Xi looked up and admired the sunset for a while, then thought it would be better to wake up Dr. Guan now so he could see the sunset.

Judging by the time, Dr. Guan has probably already slept for almost eight hours.

The little capybara thought for a moment, then looked away, put down the spatula in its hand, and ran up the spiral staircase, all the way to the closed door of the master bedroom.

Place your hand on the metal handle and gently slide it downwards.

The door clicked open.

It wasn't as dark and quiet as it was when he came out.

The dark curtains in the bedroom were drawn back, and outside the huge bay window, a fiery red glow was reflected.

The fiery red clouds rolled and churned, revealing layers of vibrant red, occasionally tinged with a touch of pale pink.

A familiar figure stood by the bay window.

Wearing a dark set of home clothes, Guan Yue was facing away from him, looking out the window.

Looking at Guan Yue from behind, he appears even more upright, with a more superior and obvious waist-to-hip ratio.

Pei Xi's hand was still on the doorknob, and she froze for a moment.

At this moment, the man turned his head and looked at him, saying, "Come here."

The little capybara obediently went over.

My mind went blank for no reason again.

He walked to the window and looked closely at the sunset through the glass.

"Hmm, I was just thinking of waking you up to watch the sunset, but you've already set your sights on it." The warm glow of the setting sun shone on his face, which felt very comforting.

A man's soft voice whispered in her ear, "Do you like watching the sunset?"

"I like it." The capybara raised its chin, looked at Guan Yue beside it, and its eyes curved into crescents. "This bright red color is especially beautiful. I really like it."

The man lowered his eyes, and his pursed lips slowly parted: "Yes, I like you very much too."
