Chapter 15 The skin on her lower back was touched by the man's palm...
The skin on her lower back was wrapped tightly and warmly by the man's palm.
The light from the small chandelier overhead was insufficient.
Fill the narrow space with a few ambiguous bright colors.
Pei Xi was locked in the corner, his cheeks flushed an unusual red, and he was now stiff and dared not move.
Guan Yue was very, very close to him, so close that their noses were almost touching.
The little capybara lowered its eyes, its slightly upturned eyelashes exposed to the air. Perhaps the feeling of guilt was too strong, for even its eyelashes couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The amplitude was very small, but Guan Yue saw it all.
The man's lips curled up slightly, his gaze unwavering as he forcefully pressed his face against the capybara.
Pei Qi instinctively wanted to hide, but dared not make a loud noise.
He couldn't be sure if Guan Yue was telling the truth, but... what if... they really had all opened up?
He dared not take the risk.
My chin was suddenly hooked.
The man subtly lowered his lips the moment the young man involuntarily looked up.
He realized that the capybara was daydreaming again.
At a time like this, I can still think of other things.
The young man's chin was held, and his lips were fixed in a position that made it easy to taste.
The man leaned in and pressed his lips against the young man's again.
This time the kiss wasn't so rushed; it had a slightly teasing quality to it.
Pei Xi grabbed the fabric on the man's shoulder, feeling a little breathless.
My mind went blank, and my legs went weak.
The voice from the computer came through my ears again.
"Dr. Guan, please report on this case..."
The little capybara suddenly opened its dazed eyes, its nerves instantly taut like a string.
The oppressive tone on his lips vanished abruptly, and the restraint around his waist loosened completely.
The little capybara slid down the wall.
Guan Yue's arm hadn't completely left the capybara's waist when he saw this and suddenly exerted force to support the young man.
"Is Dr. Guan here?" The voice on the computer carried a hint of doubt and urgency.
Guan Yue lifted the half-rimmed glasses that had slipped a little, and wrapped one arm tightly around the little capybara's soft waist.
As if effortlessly, he took a long stride and levitated Pei Qi to the small sofa next to the desk.
Pei Qi, who seemed to have lost her soul, only realized the moment her buttocks touched the sofa that she had just passed by the computer's webcam.
Her ears were so red they looked like they were about to burst out with a sharp, explosive sound.
"It's not open yet, but it's about to open now." Guan Yue guessed what he was thinking, and no longer hid it, a smile undisguised appearing on his lips.
Pei Xi: "You..."
Guan Yue: "Shh."
The man turned to the side, sat back down in front of the computer, and turned on the webcam and microphone.
It probably didn't even last a second.
The face that had just been tinged with desire and mockery instantly reverted to its usual expression.
What does it look like?
Pei Xi felt that it was like the kind of sexually frigid person.
Cold and serious.
"Sorry, there was a slight network problem just now," the man said without batting an eye, offering a clichéd excuse. "This patient was diagnosed with COPD years ago, and his lung function isn't great. If we go through surgery..."
Pei Qi couldn't really hear what was going on after that. His mind was a mess, and his cheeks and ears were burning so badly that he wanted to run to the bathroom and soak his face in ice water right away.
His mouth was still a little sore, the kind of pain that made him feel ashamed.
I don't know how long I "cooled down" on the sofa, but my legs finally regained their strength.
He immediately got up from the sofa, leaving his slippers behind at the site of the recent conflict. He didn't care about that, and barefoot, he tiptoed along the wall towards the bathroom.
The toes lightly tapped on the cool floor, making a series of light "tap-tap" sounds.
The man facing the camera casually raised one hand, his knuckles touching his lips, as if trying to cover something up.
The smile in the corner of her eye was hard to hide.
Pei Xi rushed into the bathroom and stood under the shower for a long time, finally managing to wash away some of the stuffy heat on her face.
The words of the appendectomist kept replaying in my mind.
They initially said the camera was on, but then it wasn't.
When he said it wasn't open, his expression was like that...
Pei Xi searched her mind for a long time for an adjective, and finally found one.
It's that kind of cheeky expression!
Are you kidding him?
Hmm.
I'm a little angry.
The capybara turned off the shower valve and came out of the cubicle.
Standing by the sink, the mirror above was covered in condensation, but even under such a blurry reflection, the light was still clear.
Pei Xi could still notice her mouth at a glance.
It's too popular.
It's still a little swollen.
"......"
Fortunately, he had prepared his pajamas and other clothes on the bathroom shelf beforehand. After changing his clothes, he lingered for a while before finally opening the bathroom door with a "click".
At that time, Guan Yue had finished the meeting and had just closed his laptop.
The young man was wearing a striped cotton pajama set, and his hair was particularly fluffy, probably from being blow-dried. Even though the two were not close, a faint plum scent seemed to waft into their nostrils.
Although the two had been living together for some time, they did not sleep in the same room, and Pei Qi almost never spent time with Guan Yue in her pajamas.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, I placed my hand on my neck.
My nose suddenly itched, and I couldn't help but sneeze.
Guan Yue asked, "You have a cold?"
The little capybara shook its head.
He thought it probably wasn't, and that his throat was just itchy.
The young man's lips were strikingly red, and his round eyes were brimming with moisture.
The man involuntarily lowered his gaze.
Perhaps it's not just the line of sight that's being lowered.
Perhaps this character should be pronounced "xiang".
"I'm going to sleep now," the capybara said slowly, its tone flat.
Guan Yue: "Yeah, I'm going to sleep too."
Pei Qi pursed her still slightly sore lips: "Well, there's only one bed..."
“I know.” The man walked over from the table. “I’m just nearsighted, not blind, Professor Pei.”
"Shall we sleep... together?" Pei Qi knew that she had just rambled on a bit, but she was mainly trying to lay the groundwork.
Since that's the case, he might as well just say it directly.
"I don't really want to."
Guan Yue: "Why? Because of the habit of sleeping with the lights on?"
"Mm." The young man nodded.
“But even if you sleep on the sofa, it won’t solve the problem.” The man stopped in front of the young man.
The aroma of plums wafted into my nostrils at just the right moment.
Indeed, because the sofa and bed are in the same space.
"How about I call the front desk and ask if there are any rooms available?" This was the only solution Pei Qi could think of.
"No need, I'll sleep with it on." With those five words, the man walked past the young man and went straight to the bathroom.
Pei Xi turned her head: "Can Dr. Guan sleep?"
"Um."
He received a definite answer, but he wasn't sure if Dr. Guan was just being polite, so he called the front desk to inquire.
The receptionist said there were no empty rooms available tonight.
never mind.
Pei Qi swam back to bed from the window and snuggled into the comfortable blankets.
He only left a small desk lamp on his side, the light was not strong enough to disturb others.
The man then came out after taking a shower, wearing a set of plain-colored loungewear.
Dr. Guan just washed her hair, so it's smooth and natural.
The ends of her hair partially covered her ears and forehead.
It also concealed much of the sharpness and angularity of his face.
Their demeanor exuded a rare and approachable charm.
Pei Qi couldn't help but glance at him a few more times, but soon felt like he'd been caught red-handed, so he quickly looked away, lay down, and snuggled into the blankets.
In my ears, I heard the sound of the blanket being lifted.
He felt the bed sway slightly, and the mattress beside him sank a few centimeters.
The bed was large, and Pei Qi was sitting close to the edge of the bed, so she wasn't too close to Dr. Guan.
The man spoke up: "Aren't you afraid of falling down later?"
Pei Xi felt that... Dr. Guan's words made sense.
Indeed, he was not even a hand's width away from the edge of the bed.
"Come closer."
The tone was somewhat serious and commanding.
The capybara heard this, but did not do as instructed.
Guan Yue frowned slightly: "I'm not going to eat people."
Pei Qi pouted and mumbled a reply, "You know how to kiss people."
Guan Yue: "What did you say?"
Anyway, it was overheard.
Pei Qi simply said, "Dr. Guan just kissed me."
"Why did you kiss me?" As he asked the second half of the question, his momentum gradually weakened.
Guan Yue fell silent again.
In the vast space, only the two of them breathing were heard.
"You don't like it?" After many seconds, the man finally answered slowly, "But just now, Teacher Pei took the initiative to put her arm around my neck, and I thought Teacher Pei liked it."
That's because your legs were weak and you were using them for leverage.
Pei Xi bit her lip, but still didn't say those words.
After all... it's a little embarrassing.
"..."
Pei Xi stopped talking, staring at the retro chandelier on the ceiling to divert her attention, and then glanced out the window.
There seems to be a breeze blowing, and the shadows of the trees outside the glass window sway gently in the hazy moonlight.
"Is your mouth uncomfortable?" Guan Yue asked in a very casual tone. "It looks a little swollen."
Of course, swelling will make you feel uncomfortable.
Pei Qi silently complained in his heart, then opened his mouth and uttered two words: "It's alright."
It's okay, sometimes life is just a concrete manifestation of "toughing it out".
Guan Yue: "Oh."
"I'm going to sleep." Pei Qi decided to go to sleep first.
Guan Yue continued the previous topic: "Move over a bit."
It does seem necessary for him to get some sleep; he tends to toss and turn in his sleep, and he might roll off the bed soon.
So the little capybara carefully moved towards the middle of the bed, making very small movements.
But the sheets still made a slight rustling sound.
He moved a few centimeters, just enough room to turn over, and then the young man stopped moving forward.
The man lying beside him, who had been quiet and still, suddenly rolled over and faced the young man.
The distance that was not far before suddenly seemed to shrink a little.
The little capybara instinctively clenched the soft blanket in its hand defensively.
"Come a little closer," the man said slowly.
The capybara stared intently at the ceiling: "Then don't kiss me."
