Chapter 10 "According to the meteorological observatory, our city will..."
"According to the weather station, our city will officially enter the height of summer next week, with the highest temperature reaching..." The TV was still whirring.
Pei Xi couldn't hear a single word clearly.
He only feels itchy now.
His ears are sensitive, so he is particularly ticklish.
Guan Yue gently pinched his earlobe with his fingertips, as if trying to imprint his fingerprints completely onto the young man's delicate skin.
It seems like they wanted to do more than just leave their fingerprints on the paper.
"Ugh..." Pei Xi felt that it wasn't just her ears that were itchy, but her neck and scalp next to her ears were also itchy.
He couldn't bear it; his body instinctively resisted and struggled free.
Fortunately, the man didn't press the matter further and quietly let go.
But those somewhat gloomy eyes did not waver at all, staring straight at Pei Qi.
The young man racked his brains for a long time, ignoring the garbled information from the TV station.
Finally, I found out what Guan Yue had just said.
He uttered three words, much slower than usual: "I...I know."
He didn't understand the purpose of Guan Yue's reminder.
Is there something wrong with his intelligence in some way?
Guan Yue: "You don't know."
Pei Qi retorted, "What do you mean I don't know?"
But her tone was still gentle, with a hint of barb beneath.
"I'm just a little closer to you, and you keep your distance."
The breath that Pei Qi had been holding in his chest finally dissipated...
Because he has indeed taken several steps back.
He didn't know why, he just instinctively dodged...
But he still wanted to explain: "I..."
Okay, I can't explain it.
"I'll try to be more careful next time."
The man in front of him didn't answer, but simply took a few more steps to catch up with him.
Pei Xi tried her best to restrain herself and not let herself run away any further.
When the two were only half a foot apart, Guan Yue stopped.
"Also, don't transfer any more money to me."
Pei Qi pursed her lips, raising her gaze slightly as she asked, "Why...why?"
"Hospital rules prohibit us from transferring money via WeChat."
"..." The young man's eyebrows rose slightly, his brow furrowed with doubt and confusion.
He knew that some organizations did have such regulations, but he figured it was probably to prevent the acceptance of bribes.
But perhaps Dr. Guan was being cautious.
He also respected it.
The young man's brow relaxed slightly, and he nodded: "Okay."
He should just pay in cash.
After a while of this stalemate, Pei Xi felt as if the hair on the top of her head was being burned by the man's gaze.
"Dr. Guan, aren't you...aren't you going to sleep yet?"
"Nothing you want to tell me?"
The man's tone rose slightly, creating a ripple.
He's very interested in that guy named Zhe now.
“Hmm…” Pei Xi thought for a while, “Good night.”
Guan Yue: " "
Those deep eyes, hidden behind frameless glasses, narrowed slightly, a hint of softness appearing in them.
"Hmm." The man slowly turned around and walked upstairs.
That works too.
But he didn't want to say "goodnight".
However, Pei Xi didn't pay attention to it and kept thinking about the fact that Dr. Guan couldn't accept transfers.
He can withdraw some cash tomorrow; there's a bank downstairs anyway.
The next day, Guan Yue was not there. Pei Qi remembered that the man had mentioned that he would be resting for the next two days, but when he got up, the apartment was quiet and no one was there.
He didn't send a message either, worried about bothering the other person.
He must finish the presentation slides today; he can't put it off any longer.
Today was originally a day off, but an intestinal resection surgery was added at the last minute. After receiving the news, Guan Yue rushed to the hospital.
"I received two pieces of bad news as soon as I opened my eyes today." Lu Dongyi was disinfecting the area of the anesthetized patient on the operating table with sterile gauze. "One is this emergency surgery, and the other is the message sent to me by the director." Lu Dongyi deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
Unfortunately, no one in the operating room responded.
Lü Dongyi: "No... could you guys cooperate with me for a bit? Senior brother... please ask me quickly."
"I'm asking you." Guan Yue had just finished washing his hands and was putting on his sterile gown.
If he hadn't already washed his hands, Lü Dongyi would have wanted to facepalm.
Finally, the kind-hearted tour guide smiled and chimed in, "What information is it, Xiao Lü?"
"The director wants me to perform the gallbladder surgery tomorrow." Lü Dongyi's voice was filled with helplessness. "How dare the director ask me to do it? I don't dare to do it."
"Senior brother, why don't you be the lead surgeon tomorrow?"
Guan Yue: "It's just a regular gallbladder."
Lü Dongyi: "Senior brother, were you nervous when you were the lead surgeon for the first time?"
Guan Yue: "I forgot."
How could you forget that...?
Lü Dongyi felt that he had asked the unnecessary question.
"You simply don't understand the suffering of ordinary people like us."
Guan Yue: "Hurry up and disinfect, the director will be here soon."
Lü Dongyi: "Oh..."
After opening the abdomen, the situation was more complicated than expected, with multiple adhesions. It was already afternoon when the procedure was completed.
Guan Yue had just come out of the operating room and washed his hands before turning on his phone to check his messages.
He figured the capybara didn't know he was working overtime and would probably ask him for news.
Open WeChat.
There are messages in the department group chat, group meeting messages, and thank-you messages from patients.
As for the little capybara with an orange on its head, it didn't have a small red tag.
Only automatic message notifications are available.
You have an unclaimed transfer.
At that moment, Lü Dongyi also came out of the operating room and caught up with him: "How about we go eat at that newly opened Sichuan restaurant across the street?"
Guan Yue: "I won't eat."
Lü Dongyi: Aren't you hungry? You've been standing for so long.
Guan Yue: "I'm full."
"..."
He knew then that his senior brother was indeed no ordinary person.
3 PM.
Pei Xi finally finished the courseware, checked it over from beginning to end, and after confirming that there were no errors, got up and stretched.
My back aches from lounging in that beanbag chair.
The sun is shining brightly outside the window; it has the feel of summer.
Actually, he always felt that something was missing from Dr. Guan's beautiful apartment.
But I couldn't quite put my finger on what was missing.
Now, the warm sunlight shone on his face.
He suddenly realized that something was missing.
It lacks some green life, such as potted plants and greenery.
No wonder the whole apartment felt a bit cold and impersonal.
The young man stood by the window basking in the sun for a while, like a green plant that needs photosynthesis. Once he felt comfortable in the sun, he curled up back on the sofa.
Today he's going to thoroughly study a book about restoration techniques.
After flipping through the pages, when I looked up again, dusk had already fallen.
Pei Qi organized the notes he had just taken, and his stomach growled twice, reminding him to eat.
It's been morning since I last ate; I really should eat something.
As the young man walked into the kitchen and turned off the gas stove, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
Dr. Guan hasn't returned yet.
If he went to work, he should be back by now, right?
Should he send a message to ask?
Let's ask around and see if they're coming back for dinner.
What if Dr. Guan comes back while he's eating?
Then there was no rice in the pot.
It's quite awkward.
He picked up his phone and opened the chat window with Guan Yue.
The man's profile picture is simple: a starry sky.
The twinkling stars adorn the long river of the universe.
Seven: Are you coming home for dinner tonight?
He tries to focus on the key points.
I waited for a few minutes.
There was no reply, but then a soft rustling sound came from the door.
Guan Yue is back.
Pei Qi jogged over: "You're back. Want some dinner?"
"I'm not eating anymore, I'm a little tired." The man was very indifferent, not even lifting his eyelids, and went upstairs, ignoring the young man.
The capybara stared at the figure disappearing around the corner of the escalator for two seconds, stunned.
It seems that Dr. Guan is really exhausted.
The capybara made some simple vegetable porridge, thinking that the man must be hungry after working so hard.
So he carried a bowl of hot vegetable porridge upstairs.
"Knock knock".
The young man knocked on the door.
but.
Perhaps it's not just the door that's being knocked on.
The door was opened very quickly.
The capybara presented the vegetable porridge: "Dr. Guan, are you going to sleep? Would you like some porridge?"
"Can."
The little capybara smiled, revealing dimples on its cheeks.
It makes you want to poke it with your hand.
It should be very soft.
Pei Xi: "Shall we eat in the bedroom?"
Guan Yue: "Let's go downstairs."
Pei Xi: "Okay."
The little capybara, carrying the porridge, turned to go downstairs.
"Let me do it." A hand reached out and took the porcelain bowl from his hand.
Pei Xi cooperated and let go.
While eating at the table, the two of them just silently lowered their heads and drank their porridge, without exchanging much conversation.
Pei Qi glanced at the appendectomist across from her a few times; a faint weariness appeared in the corner of his eye, indicating that he was indeed quite tired.
"Are there many patients today because it's the weekend?" the young man asked.
Guan Yue took two more sips of porridge but did not respond.
Pei Xi was a little embarrassed.
Dr. Guan was probably too tired to talk.
He even tried to make conversation...
"No, I had a rather complicated surgery." After several seconds, the man slowly opened his mouth.
Pei Qi nodded.
He could roughly understand the appendectomist's current state; it was probably like him having spent a whole day gluing together scraps of paper.
After stopping, I did feel a sense of mental blankness.
I just want to stay in standby mode.
So he didn't continue the conversation, and silently prepared to finish his meal and go back to his bedroom so as not to disturb Dr. Guan's rest any longer.
Guan Yue also put down his chopsticks at this moment.
Pei Xi: "Dr. Guan, go and rest. I'll take care of the tidying up."
The man's complexion was far from good, and his lips were slightly pale.
Pei Xi couldn't help but worry, wondering if Dr. Guan was unaware that he was sick himself.
The capybara thought for a moment, then got up from the chair, leaned over, and placed the back of its slightly cool hand on the man's forehead, its kind heart sensing: "You don't seem to have a fever, but you look terrible. Are you feeling unwell?"
The frost wolf, its eyes filled with the smell of blood, suddenly lowered its wary, erect ears, and the tufts of bristling gray fur gradually smoothed down.
The simmering anger that seemed to come from nowhere was dispelled by the coolness of the young man's hand.
Pei Xi's wrist was pressed against by a burning gaze.
He realized that his behavior seemed a bit sudden and exceeded social distancing limits.
So he hurriedly tried to let go.
At that moment, her slender wrist was suddenly gripped by a powerful force.
Unable to move, there was absolutely no room for letting go.
"It's uncomfortable, touch it again."
