Chapter 18 "Ugh." The little capybara stiffened...
"Mmm." The little capybara froze, too afraid to move, as the man wrapped it in his warm embrace.
Why did Dr. Guan suddenly hug him?
They were holding her so tightly.
However, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, he felt as if his empty heart had been filled.
He didn't move, just stayed obediently in the man's arms. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he felt the temperature inside the car rising because of their close proximity.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't." After a long pause, the man finally spoke again.
"Thank you." Pei Qi sniffed the scent on the man's neck, which smelled very nice. "However, it's okay if you mind, Dr. Guan. Anyway, no one knows about our marriage. We can just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau again."
Guan Yue: " "
Pei Xi: "Guan....."
Guan Yue: "Don't speak."
Pei Qi was immediately stunned and obediently shut his mouth.
After a while, the man finally let go of him and restarted the car.
"Did you eat dinner?"
"I just ate noodles by the roadside," Pei Qi replied, fastening her seatbelt again.
Guan Yue: "Want something else to eat? I'll make braised beef brisket with potatoes, would you like some? And maybe some navel oranges?"
Pei Qi nodded lightly: "Okay."
Guan Yue has discovered that, in addition to liking fruits rich in vitamin C such as oranges and tangerines, the little capybara also likes to eat stewed potatoes until they are very soft and mushy.
"But I'm not hungry anymore, so it's fine if you don't need to bother Dr. Guan." Pei Qi remembered that the last few times Guan Yue made braised beef brisket with potatoes, it always took some effort, and the process seemed quite complicated.
Guan Yue: "I want to eat it myself."
“Then I’ll have a couple of bites, haha,” Pei Qi replied.
Shortly after finishing dinner, Pei Xi quickly took a shower and went to bed.
He's going to get some rest early; he's going to give a lecture at Hebei University tomorrow afternoon.
At this moment, I received a message from Jiang Shulin on my phone.
Mom: [Xiaobai told me that you specifically went to tell him you weren't going on blind dates.]
Mom: [You're making people think you look down on them.]
The little capybara's ears drooped down again.
After thinking for a while, I typed out my reply.
Seven: [I don't want to lie to people.]
Seven: [They've already apologized.]
Mom: [They have such good conditions, what are you dissatisfied with?]
Mom: [You're always like this.]
Mom: [It was the same when we were filling out college applications.]
Mom: Why can't you learn from your brother and be a little more obedient?
Pei Xi was a little speechless, so she stared at the screen for a long time.
After a while, I gently touched the screen with my finger.
Seven: [I understand, Mom.]
Seven: [You should go to sleep early.]
After he sent the message, there was no reply from the other end.
He clicked on the other person's profile picture, which was a photo of his younger brother, Pei Xi, when he was a child.
Pei Xi is eight years younger than him and is just about to take the college entrance examination.
If you open Jiang Shulin's WeChat Moments, you'll always see Pei Xi's presence.
Pei Qi glanced at a few messages and then silently logged out.
He shouldn't watch it anymore.
He snuggled into the blankets, not feeling very sleepy, and it took him a long time to finally fall asleep.
On Mondays, Dr. Guan always leaves home very early, apparently because the department has a major ward round and a morning meeting.
Pei Qi also got up early today, leisurely finished the millet porridge made by Dr. Guan, and took the subway to work.
In the morning, he planned to complete all the documentation on the restoration of cultural relics, and ideally paste in another page so that he could go to class with peace of mind in the afternoon.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly in class.
Pei Xi's concerns about the classroom atmosphere were completely unfounded.
No one was playing on their phones, and no one was sleeping. The students in the front row kept raising their hands to ask questions.
Suddenly I realized that two hours of class time was simply not enough.
After class, the little capybara strolled briskly along the tree-lined avenue below the teaching building, taking out its phone to report the results of its first lecture to Teacher Jiang.
The phone suddenly rang.
It was Guan Yue calling.
Men rarely call him directly; they usually send text messages.
"What's wrong, Dr. Guan?" Pei Xi asked as she answered the phone.
The man's voice on the phone sounded a little rushed: "Are you free now? Are you still at work?"
"No, I went to class at Heda today, and it just finished." The capybara's tone was cheerful. "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I have a document on my USB drive, but I forgot to take it when I was in a rush to work today," Guan Yue finally said. "But it would be too much trouble for you to go home and bring it over, so I'll just leave it."
"Hmm, is it on the desk in the study?" Pei Xi asked about the location of the USB drive. "It won't be a problem. There's a subway station right next to Heda University, and it's only a few stops from home. I'll go back and get it now. Can Dr. Guan wait?"
He didn't find it troublesome, after all, Dr. Guan often picked him up and dropped him off, and even cooked him delicious braised beef brisket with potatoes.
"Sure, thank you for your help. I definitely need it." The man's voice on the phone was magnetic.
Su Su's.
Pei Qi felt a slight itch on the back of his ears as he listened.
After hanging up the phone, he rushed to the subway entrance. It was a little past three o'clock, not yet the evening rush hour, so it wasn't too crowded.
He arrived at the hospital with the USB drive almost an hour later.
Having learned from his previous experience delivering steamed buns, he was able to locate Dr. Guan's department.
After turning into the inpatient building, take the elevator directly to the 19th floor.
Completely different from the first time I came to the 19th floor, this time there were patients pushing saline stands and taking walks outside the ward corridor, as well as many nurses walking back and forth, and groups of three or five people in white coats coming out of the office.
Among a group of doctors in white coats, Pei Qi spotted Guan Yue at a glance.
It wasn't because of familiarity or anything, but mainly because the man was taller.
The little capybara stood still, watching as the people in white coats walked towards it from a distance.
His Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
The distance was getting shorter and shorter. Pei Qi was actually intimidated by the aura and subconsciously stepped aside to make way.
The crowd was already about to pass by him.
Guan Yue suddenly stopped in front of the young man.
The others also stopped in their tracks.
Why aren't you wearing a mask?
"I was in a bit of a rush just now." Pei Qi felt as if she were being stared at, so she lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look up. She took out a USB drive from her pocket. "Oh...right, here you go."
"Thank you." The man took the small part from his hand. "My workstation is the third one from the door. There are masks in the drawer."
"Okay." The capybara nodded.
Guan Yue: "Sit and wait for me for a while. I'll finish my rounds and then we'll go back together."
The way these words were spoken made it hard for those around them not to speculate about their relationship.
The little capybara's black mole behind its ear was turning red, and it hurried to the office, saying, "Okay."
Just then, someone behind him asked with a hint of amusement, "Dr. Guan, this is...?"
Pei Xi was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to listen anymore and quickly hid in her office.
fine......
Luckily, no one is in the office right now.
He stood under the central air conditioning in the office for a long time, letting the cold air blow on him, before finally pulling out a mask from Guan Yue's drawer and putting it on.
I finally calmed down.
He sat in the chair Guan Yue usually worked in, facing the man's computer.
The computer contained medical records that he couldn't understand.
The young man rested his chin on his hand, unaware of how many minutes had passed.
Footsteps came from outside the door.
The little capybara couldn't help but stick its head out.
A young man in a white coat, showing his big teeth, walked in through the door: "Hello, sister-in-law!"
