Chapter 21 "Hmm?" Pei Xi was completely taken aback...
"Huh?" Pei Qi hadn't expected this at all, and felt utterly wronged. "No..."
"Then I'm coming over."
After the man finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
The young man stared blankly at the glowing phone screen for a few seconds.
He really hadn't expected this...
But now I've thought of it.
If my seniors knew that I got married while saying I was just going to see a doctor about my neck, they'd probably faint...
"Xiaoqi, come over and eat some grilled kidneys, they're hot." Su Mo waved to him.
“Oh…” Pei Qi forced himself to sit back down at the table.
Laowen Lane is located in the old city area, quite a distance from Yujiang Mansion.
Since things have come to this, he might as well eat a few more skewers of grilled kidneys...
"It's past 8:30, let's move on to another place." Xiao Jia had drunk seven or eight bottles of beer, and apart from her face being a little red, she didn't stutter at all and was incredibly energetic.
Su Mo also stood up: "If you want to play cards, let's go quickly."
Everyone stood up, ready to pay the bill and leave.
Pei Qi was wondering if Dr. Guan would avoid meeting them.
When the time comes, he just needs to find an excuse not to go to Senior Brother Su's house. By the time Doctor Guan arrives, Senior Brother and the others will have already left.
It's simply flawless...
"Teacher Pei." A soft voice came from behind, and a heavy weight suddenly pressed on my left shoulder.
Pei Qi froze, then turned her face away a beat late.
Guan Yue was standing behind him, his hand on his shoulder.
The people who were about to leave stopped in their tracks and all turned their attention to Guan Yue.
Su Mo: "And who is this...?"
Pei Qi suddenly stood up from the bench: "He...he is."
The person behind him had already circled around to the front and stood beside him.
In the open-air environment, the light was not good, and he couldn't really see what the expression in Dr. Guan's eyes was.
But for no apparent reason, I felt a sense of oppression.
The capybara instinctively bit its lower lip.
A few seconds later, the man beside him looked away from the young man and then turned to the group of people in front of him: "I am Teacher Pei's... friend."
The little capybara's big, round eyes were filled with surprise.
"Oh, Xiaoqi's friend!" Xiaojia greeted warmly. "Are you here for barbecue too? Which table are you at? Let's eat together."
"We didn't come here for barbecue." The man paused, "We came to see Teacher Pei."
Everyone's eyes involuntarily shifted to Pei Xi's face, as if they were all waiting for his response.
"Yeah... I probably won't go play cards anymore," Pei Qi said awkwardly.
Dr. Guan has already taken such a big step back, there's no reason for him not to cooperate properly.
Old He: "No, why don't you bring your friends along?"
No one thought much of it, after all, Pei Qi was still a child in their eyes.
Pei Qi pursed her lips and carefully cast a glance at the man.
The man didn't glance at him, but remained polite to the others, slightly parting his lips to say in a voice only the capybara could hear, "Go home."
So the capybara said, "Next time, senior brothers, you guys play. I'm not very good at playing cards."
Su Mo: "Where are you going? Squeeze into my car and I'll give you a ride."
"No need, we have a car." The capybara felt it was not safe to stay there any longer. "Be careful on the road, senior brothers."
After saying that, he grabbed the wrist of the man next to him and ran away.
This seems to be the first time the capybara has taken his hand on its own initiative.
Even though I was leading him around.
Pei Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the barbecue restaurant and the alley.
"My car is over here."
He was the one who was leading Dr. Guan.
But somehow, his wrist ended up being grabbed by Dr. Guan.
He was led to the car, and the man immediately let go of his hand: "Get in."
The little capybara obediently got into the car.
Dr. Guan remained silent the entire way, his face dark with displeasure.
Pei Xi didn't dare to speak.
On the way, Guan Yue's phone lit up with several WeChat messages.
Guan Yue: "Could you check whose information this is?"
"Okay." The capybara picked up the phone. "Password..."
The man hesitated for a few seconds before not answering immediately.
Pei Qi was about to say that she wouldn't go through other people's phones, but the man suddenly spoke up.
"0618".
"Okay." The capybara entered the numbers and unlocked the screen.
He opened WeChat: "It's a message from someone named Jinge. He said you don't need to change shifts tomorrow."
Guan Yue: "Okay."
The young man saw it inadvertently when he logged out of WeChat.
He swore that the note was just too eye-catching and that he definitely didn't mean to look at it.
He saw the nickname the man had given him.
"A bad capybara."
Wait a minute, who's the bad capybara...?
The young man bit his lip, daring not to speak out in anger.
It should clearly be a good capybara...
No... he's human, not a capybara.
Although he uses a capybara as his profile picture.
But that's just a profile picture!
never mind.
Dr. Guan has a sinister aura; he should probably keep a low profile for now.
The young man silently put his phone back in its place and sat up straight again.
He cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at the man holding the steering wheel.
Why does your face look even darker than before...?
The little capybara kept its mouth tightly shut, not daring to make any rash moves.
Then came a long silence, a journey without a word.
Back at the apartment, the man remained silent, walking upstairs with a low-key demeanor. He went straight to his room, and Pei Qi could hear the door slam shut from downstairs.
Hmm...
Since things had come to this, he decided to take a shower first.
The little capybara stood under the shower for a long time, the steam and the perfectly warm water spraying down, seemingly taking away the greasiness of the grilled skewers and the fatigue of the week.
The capybara came out of the bathroom and went to bed feeling refreshed.
My relaxed mood suddenly reminded me of Dr. Guan outside the two doors.
Dr. Guan seemed quite angry.
Shouldn't he say something?
But he didn't have the courage to knock on the doctor's door right now.
Or maybe... I should just send a message?
Ask if they're asleep or something.
So the capybara picked up the phone from beside its pillow.
Open the chat window with the man.
Type: 【Dr. Guan, are you asleep?】
Of course, no response was received immediately.
So he opened the man's WeChat Moments.
Actually, he had done this before, but it didn't involve much personal life content; it was mostly forwarding information from hospitals.
There's nothing to see.
He tapped the top left corner and returned to the chat interface.
Still no reply. Are they already asleep?
He decided to wait a little longer and switched to a reading app to read a book.
But I don't know if it's because I've been too tired these past few days, but before I even saw the fifth line of text, my eyelids started to droop.
At this moment, the person separated by only two doors was, of course, not asleep.
Holding a medical journal in his hands, he repeatedly read the same paragraph.
bother.
I just can't get into it.
The man abruptly closed the magazine, his action carrying a clear hint of resentment.
Clearly, this resentment wasn't caused by the magazine.
The magazine was merely a victim.
Guan Yue reached out and unlocked the phone screen next to the bed.
Almost ten minutes have passed.
I still haven't received the next sentence.
.
Fine, then he'll reluctantly offer his thanks first.
G: [I'm not asleep.]
...
G; [What's up?]
...
No reply.
Forget it, why should he wait for information from that stinky capybara?
sleep.
The man quickly turned off the bedroom light, placed his phone screen face down on the bedside table, and closed his eyes.
Time ticked by, and the man, with his eyes closed, was wide awake.
Arm, as if on someone's orders, reached for the phone again.
He half-opened his eyes and stared intently at the lit-up phone screen.
The screen displays that a WeChat message has been received.
He quickly unlocked his phone and opened WeChat.
