Chapter 12 Pei Xi craned her neck again, leaning closer...
Pei Xi stretched her neck again and leaned in once more.
But he didn't know how... how to kiss deeply.
So it simply pressed against the man's lips.
Suddenly, a large hand slid in from his side and pressed against his spine.
The little capybara felt as if it had accidentally wandered into a hunting ground, surrounded by an aura of danger.
Perhaps it's their herbivorous nature that made them so sensitive to the change in atmosphere.
All the muscles in my body tensed up involuntarily.
But it could also be because he's ticklish.
The big gray wolf, eager to pounce, was ready to launch its attack when the little capybara in its arms suddenly retreated.
Pei Xi pulled away from the man's lips, a hint of pink tinge appearing at the base of her ear.
He did not loosen his grip on the young man's thin waist, nor did he launch another attack.
Pei Qi thought it probably wouldn't work, and weakly said, "Then shall I kiss you for another five seconds?"
Guan Yue: "Mm."
The capybara came closer, but only pressed its lips against his, without taking any further action.
The man's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and a hint of intoxication appeared in his eyes.
"Is it... useful?" Pei Xi's cheeks flushed.
"Yes, it works," Guan Yue replied. "Let's hug for a while longer."
The capybaras agreed and obediently let him hold them.
It just stubbornly stuck its neck out.
Guan Yue couldn't stand it anymore: "You can lean your head against me."
Pei Xi was indeed a little tired, and finally slumped her neck and pressed it against the man's chest.
Pei Qi: "Dr. Guan."
Guan Yue: "Hmm?"
Pei Xi: "Your heartbeat is a bit loud."
Guan Yue: "..."
A while passed like this.
Pei Qi suddenly remembered something, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a roll of cash.
"Oh right, I received cash today, here you go."
The capybara handed over the cash, its head peeking out from the man's arms.
He had almost forgotten about it after putting it off for several days, but suddenly remembered it when he passed by the bank today.
I haven't even paid back the doctor the 800 yuan yet.
The man's gaze also turned and landed on the roll of red bills in the young man's hand.
"..."
The young man's eyelashes fluttered slightly, convinced that giving cash was the perfect solution.
But why is Dr. Guan still not reaching out?
Could it be that it's been a long time and they've forgotten?
The young man couldn't help but remind him: "It was just before, when we were shopping at the supermarket."
"I said I couldn't accept WeChat transfers, so Teacher Pei gave me cash?" Guan Yue didn't know why, but he felt like laughing.
How could a capybara be kissing him one second and then offering him money the next?
"Yes, even cash isn't acceptable?"
The capybara asked a sincere question.
Guan Yue: "..."
"No."
"Yes, I said I'd treat you," Pei Xi said, reaching for the money to hand to the man.
The man lowered his eyes and gave a helpless smile: "It's alright."
It uttered two words that had no beginning or end.
After a few seconds, he finished speaking: "That morning, you didn't leave me any money."
Pei Xi listened and reacted for two seconds.
I understood which day Dr. Guan was referring to.
Her already pink cheeks were now flushed with an even deeper crimson.
He slowly loosened his grip on the cash, no longer insisting on handing it over.
To be honest, he did think about it at the time.
But she didn't have any cash on her and didn't have the courage to stay too long, fearing that the man next to her might wake up.
So the only option is to run first and figure things out later.
The capybara's face looked like it was about to be smothered. Guan Yue looked at it with a hint of amusement in his eyes, but still released the young man's waist.
"I'm on duty tomorrow." As he released the young man, the man walked to the central island counter, poured himself a glass of warm water, and said, "Want to go out for dinner the day after tomorrow?"
Pei Qi remembered that the last time the man finished his shift, he invited him out together to build rapport.
So, naturally, the question came up: "A date?"
He felt that, in simple terms, building familiarity would be about dating.
Guan Yue raised his chin and drank the warm water in his cup.
Warm water smeared across my lips and then slid into my mouth.
It carried a hint of sweetness that didn't belong to her.
That's the taste of a capybara.
Her lips were hidden under the corner of the cup, slightly upturned.
"Didn't Teacher Pei want to pay me back? Just treat me to a meal."
So that's how you eat.
Pei Qi's flushed face showed a hint of unease.
"Oh... okay." The young man rubbed his nose with his fingertip. "What would Dr. Guan like to eat?"
"You can choose whichever you like," the man said, putting down his glass. "I have some work to do, I'm going to the study now."
“Okay.” Pei Qi nodded.
After Guan Yue left, the young man couldn't help but rub his face vigorously with both hands, hoping it would stop turning so red all the time.
This is simply putting him, the master, in a position of inhumanity and injustice!
At night, he lay in bed, thinking about what kind of restaurant to book.
He had only been married to Dr. Guan for half a month, and he didn't really know much about men's preferences and habits.
All he knew was that Dr. Guan was a local, and that people in He City liked spicy food, so men usually added some chili peppers to their cooking.
However, he has a low tolerance for spicy food, and at first, he would get a runny nose from the spiciness at the dinner table.
So later, there were fewer chili peppers in the plate.
He thought, either go to a spicy food restaurant or have hot pot...
His mind was suddenly bombarded with images of delicious food, causing him to eat non-stop in his dream, almost to the point of bursting.
On the day of the dinner appointment, the young man sent a text message to the man during a break in the afternoon.
By now, he guessed the man should have gotten up.
Seven: [Does Dr. Guan want to eat hot pot? Or a spicy food restaurant?]
A few minutes later.
G: [The spicy food at this restaurant is very spicy.]
G: [Can you eat this?]
Seven: [I can.]
Pei Qi answered firmly, feeling that he could take on the challenge and didn't want to be looked down upon.
G: [Let's have hot pot again.]
G: [You can choose a divided hot pot.]
Very good, not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
Seven: [Hot pot is fine too.]
He didn't object, but he wanted to order a fully spicy hot pot.
A meteoric rise to fame!
G: [Hmm.]
G: [I'll come pick you up later.]
Seven: [Is Dr. Guan awake yet?]
Seven: [Did I wake you up?]
G: [If I'm not fully awake, who's replying to my messages?]
That's right.
Pei Qi felt a little embarrassed.
Why do I always ask such silly questions?
G: [Do you get off work at 5 PM?]
Seven: [Mmm.]
G: [Understood.]
The young man put down his phone and sat back down at his workstation.
The reinforcement work is almost complete; the next step is to repair the insect infestation and kill the pests.
Old Jiang walked over and stared at the pages the young man was repairing on the workbench: "What method do you plan to use to get rid of the insect infestation?"
Methods for controlling insect infestation are generally divided into two main categories: chemical methods and physical methods. However, there are not many mature methods, and if they are not mastered properly, they can easily backfire.
Especially the ancient book that Pei Qi had in his possession, which was already covered in damage.
“Physical methods like high and low temperature insect control are not suitable, and as for chemical reagents…” The young man paused, then thought, “I think nitrogen purging is the most suitable option.”
"Then tell me, what are the benefits of nitrogen purging?" Old Jiang put his hands behind his back.
It's a bit like being asked a question back in my school days.
“Hmm…” Pei Qi flipped through the book in his mind, “While ensuring the insect removal effect, it will not have any adverse effects on the texture, color, or handwriting of the cultural relics, and it will also be harmless to the environment and human body.”
The experienced craftsman nodded in satisfaction.
"Master, why didn't you ask me?" Xiao Jia, who was applying plaster at her workstation, said with a wronged expression.
The old man snorted, "If I really asked you, you'd be unhappy."
Xiao Jia, who had just been feeling wronged, laughed a little embarrassedly and said, "Never mind, you shouldn't ask anymore."
The old master chef pursed his lips, shook his head, and went into the tea room.
Pei Xi finished the insect control work, and it was exactly five o'clock.
It was rare to see his junior brother tidying up his workstation and backpack ahead of time, Su Mo, who was next door.
Su Mo: "We won't stop today."
Pei Qi slung her bag over her shoulder: "I want to leave early today."
“I’m coming too, let’s go together.” Su Mo slung his bag over his shoulder and stood up.
Pei Qi: "Okay."
The two left the company premises together.
Su Mo: "Tomorrow's a holiday, want to come to my house for a couple of games? I recently downloaded a new zombie game."
Pei Xi almost agreed.
Then it suddenly dawned on me that I had dinner with Dr. Guan tonight, and Dr. Guan was probably already at his workplace by now.
Thinking about this...
etc.
Then my senior brother will be seeing Dr. Guan.
"Xiaoxi?"
Pei Xi was offline for a while, and the two of them had already walked out of the company gate.
"Let's wait a couple of days. I want to go home early today." Pei Qi snapped out of her reverie and glanced around at the parking spaces along the main road.
Dr. Guan's car was easy to spot; he saw it immediately.
Fortunately, it stopped about ten meters away.
"Okay, do you want me to give you a ride?" Su Mo had just picked up his car recently.
"No need, it's more convenient for me to take the subway. Taking the bus will be congested." The young man laughed. He wasn't good at lying, and there was a hint of insecurity in his dimples. He just wanted to escape as soon as possible. "I'm leaving now, senior."
“Okay.” Su Mo didn’t notice anything unusual until he saw his junior brother running in the opposite direction. “Hey Xiao Qi, the subway entrance is this way.”
"Oh..." Pei Qi chuckled awkwardly twice, "Haha, I'm confused."
"You really are something, don't get off at the wrong stop later," Su Mo teased. "I'm off then."
"Goodbye, senior brother." The young man stood still, watching Su Mo leave before letting out a slow sigh of relief and hurriedly walking towards the black Panmaera parked by the roadside.
As soon as the young man walked to the car, the car was unlocked.
He opened the car door and got in.
"Thank goodness..." Pei Xi quickly fastened her seatbelt, muttering unconsciously.
The man in the driver's seat listened but didn't start the engine immediately; he turned his head away.
Those burning gazes scorched the young man's face.
And eyes.
Pei Qi inadvertently raised her gaze and met the man's deep, dark eyes.
Dr. Guan has beautiful eyes, similar to peach blossom eyes, but longer and narrower, with a sharper and colder curve at the outer corner.
The person being observed will inevitably lose the upper hand.
For example, the small capybara at this moment.
"What's wrong with you?" The man's tone was cool, with a hint of gloom.
Like the air after a rain in autumn or winter.
Pei Qi answered truthfully, letting out a long sigh of relief: "Luckily, I wasn't discovered."
"What, is he your boyfriend?" The man's tone was sharp and menacing. "Or is he the blind date your aunt introduced you to?"
“ ......”
How come you still remember this?
