Chapter 23 "Do you want to kiss me?"...
Everyone's heads went "buzz".
"Xiaoqi... Xiaoqi, what did you say?" Su Mo was the first to recover.
Pei Qi stood up from his seat, feeling a little embarrassed. This was the first time in his life that he had introduced his partner to someone.
But I still tried my best to appear generous and natural.
Dr. Guan probably also hopes that he can be open and honest.
But he still didn't dare to say right away that he and Dr. Guan had a whirlwind marriage.
He was worried that his fellow students might strain their backs later.
So for now, this is the extent of our generosity.
"Actually, I wanted to tell my senior classmates yesterday, but I was a little embarrassed." The capybara tilted its head and smiled at Dr. Guan in front of the door.
A pair of dimples appeared, looking warm and inviting.
"This is my boyfriend, Guan Yue. Guan means to overcome obstacles, and Yue means to excel."
Guan Yue was probably the last one to recover.
The man didn't step inside until the capybara had finished introducing itself: "Hello everyone."
Pei Xi is the youngest in her workplace and also the youngest in her sect.
She is gentle, conscientious, and very likable.
His senior classmates all treated him like a younger brother, so of course they had to keep a close eye on his relationship, which was such a big deal.
Therefore, the way other people looked at Guan Yue now was not as kind as it had been last night.
This should be considered a "nuclear good".
Su Mo was the first to speak: "When did this happen? How could it be so sudden?"
"Not long ago," Pei Qi answered quickly, swallowing hard.
Old He pondered for a long time, scrutinizing the tall and handsome man before him: "How did you meet? What does Mr. Guan do for a living? Are you from around here?"
This time, it was Guan Yue who answered the question: "Doctor, I work at the Second Municipal Hospital, we are..."
"We met through a blind date," Pei Qi quickly added, afraid that Dr. Guan would say they met at a bar.
Upon hearing that the doctor worked locally, Lao He's sharp gaze lessened somewhat, but he still kept staring at Guan Yue.
Guan Yue did not show any fear or evasion. He faced Lao He calmly, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Yes, we met through a blind date."
Su Mo stared at him too: "So, Xiao Qi didn't even mention it to us."
"It's not a topic for now, so senior brothers, stop staring at him." Pei Qi walked to Guan Yue's side. "I'll head back now."
He could also feel the judgment in his seniors' eyes.
If he were being stared at like that by Dr. Guan's colleagues, he would definitely feel uncomfortable.
So he decided to save Dr. Guan from fire and water.
Xiao Jia, who hadn't spoken until now, started to get anxious: "Are you living together?"
"No...no," the capybara hurriedly denied. "Dr. Guan took me home."
Old He launched into another round of interrogation: "How long have you known each other? How long have you been together...?"
Pei Xi felt it was not advisable to stay here any longer, so he made an excuse: "It's been a while, we can talk to our senior brothers about it later. Let's go back first today."
At this point, he turned his gaze to the man who was standing very close to him.
Guan Yue also lowered his gaze, his expression somewhat complex, which the capybara could not decipher.
Suddenly, my palm felt warm, and my fingers were tightly enveloped.
Guan Yue took his hand.
"We'll be going now. I'll treat you all to dinner next time." The man nodded and smiled, his manners impeccable and humble.
"Bye-bye, see you Monday." Pei Qi waved goodbye, one hand being held by his.
Everyone in the private room looked at the two of them, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
As they left the private room, Guan Yue continued to lead the capybara to the car.
The little capybara barely moved the hand that was being held the whole time; it was very well-behaved.
"You haven't been drinking," Guan Yue asked, but to be precise, his tone wasn't like a question; it sounded more like he had already made a conclusion.
A capybara that has been drinking alcohol won't be this well-behaved.
It will cause trouble.
She will whine and want him to hug her.
She'll make a fuss and want him to call her "baby".
"Um, no." Pei Qi admitted, pursing her lower lip. "I lied to you, I'm sorry."
"You lied to me so you could introduce me to your senior classmates." This isn't a question, but a statement.
Guan Yue: "Then why didn't you introduce it yesterday?"
This is a question.
The two stood by the car outside, the summer breeze was cool and comfortable.
The wind blew up a few soft, black hairs on the little capybara's head.
Actually, he was hesitating last night, and while he was hesitating, Dr. Guan had already finished explaining it to him.
"Well, I just felt that since Dr. Guan introduced me to your colleague, I... wanted to return the favor." Actually, I mainly felt that Dr. Guan was quite angry.
But he didn't dare say that, feeling a bit like the gatekeeper doctor was being petty.
Although wanting to close the doctor's account makes him seem quite...
Guan Yue noticed that the capybara's round glasses were giving off a distracted signal.
"Ugh..." Her earlobe was suddenly pinched again.
The pressure of the pinch was just right, causing the little capybara's eyelashes to tremble slightly.
itch.
My neck is itchy.
The man's fingertips pressed against the young man's soft earlobe, gently caressing it until they touched the mole behind the young man's ear.
You can't really tell by touch.
The man asked quietly, "What are you thinking about now?"
“No…” the young man said, lifting his drooping eyelids to meet the man's gaze, who was so close to him: “Itchy.”
Another cool breeze blew in, carrying a heavy amount of dew.
"Get in the car first," the man said, slowly releasing the young man's earlobe and opening the car door with his other hand.
The little capybara obediently sat down and fastened its seatbelt.
Although Dr. Guan didn't say much on the way, Pei Qi could sense that the atmosphere was completely different from the one in the car last night.
The little capybara couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
Back at the apartment, before I could even change my shoes, the man behind me said, "Don't forget to take your fish oil and vitamins."
"It ate it." The capybara changed into its light blue summer sandals and walked forward with a "pat-pat" sound. Then it turned its head and looked at the man.
Guan Yue had just changed his shoes, straightened his back, and met the little capybara's bright eyes.
"Dr. Guan, you're not angry anymore, right?"
The little capybara's eyes held a hint of seeking praise.
Guan Yue could tell.
Pshaw, who's angry?
So he skipped the topic and went straight to the point: "Professor Pei just mentioned reciprocity, but I think there's something wrong with that."
Pei Qi asked sincerely, "What difference?"
“My colleagues received the message that we are already married, but you only said that I am your boyfriend.” The man, wearing gray sandals, slowly approached the young man.
Pei Qi looked at the tall man getting closer and closer, feeling as if he could be completely suppressed in his shadow.
He wasn't very short, almost 1.8 meters tall, but compared to Guan Yue, he looked particularly small.
“I’m afraid if I tell them directly that we’re married, they’ll think I’ve fallen into some new kind of scam.”
That's not an exaggeration.
Although his senior classmates usually joke around, they are actually very traditional people and cannot accept the current trend of whirlwind marriages.
Guan Yue: "......"
"I'll bring it up again when I have the chance," Pei Qi assured him.
Guan Yue stared at the young man's delicate face, his round eyes full of sincerity.
What's with this little capybara making all this promises?
He doesn't care.
This makes it seem like he cares a lot.
The man abruptly shifted his gaze, fixing it on the few fresh tangerines on the table, and fell silent.
Besides, he wasn't angry for just that reason.
Seeing that he was not speaking and was only staring at the oranges on the table, the little capybara kindly said, "Do you want to eat an orange? I'll peel one for you."
He wanted to make Dr. Guan happy, and ideally, he wanted Dr. Guan to change his nickname in the contact list.
He didn't really want to be a bad capybara.
As it spoke, the capybara reached out its paw, grabbed an orange, and then remembered that Dr. Guan might have an occupational hazard, being particularly particular about aseptic principles.
So she put down the orange in her hand and turned to go to the bathroom: "I'll go wash my hands before I peel it."
The man watched him run away and couldn't help but smile.
Pei Xi washed her hands carefully, using hand soap twice, and then dried them. Her hands were still a little dry.
Guan Yue was sitting on the sofa, holding his phone, seemingly replying to a message.
The little capybara didn't disturb them, but quietly went over to peel the orange. He peeled it carefully, trying not to let his fingers touch the flesh.
"It's peeled, Dr. Guan, please try it." The orange peel was so thin that it seemed as if he would puncture the flesh if he pressed any harder.
"I didn't wash my hands," the man said quietly, putting down his phone. "You've finished eating."
The little capybara's ears drooped: "But I skinned it for you to eat."
"Then... would you mind feeding me, Teacher Pei?"
Feeding them isn't a big deal.
that is......
"Then my hand will touch the orange pulp."
Guan Yue: "You washed your hands, so it's okay if you touch it a little."
"Okay." The little capybara nodded, broke off two small pieces of fruit, and held them to the man's lips.
The man didn't open his mouth immediately. His gaze slowly moved upwards from the golden flesh of the fruit at the corner of the lips, up to the young man's slender, white arm, his delicate collarbone, and finally settled on those pink lips.
He was looking at the little capybara's plump lips as he opened his mouth to eat the orange.
The juicy orange pulp, with a slightly sweet and sour aroma, spreads throughout the mouth.
Dr. Guan was feeding the capybara while standing by the sofa. Even though it was a superior viewpoint, the child still couldn't quite withstand Dr. Guan's blatant gaze.
"Is there something on my...Is there something in my mouth?" The young man pursed his lips uncomfortably, feeling stared at.
The man's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his eyes, hidden behind his glasses, became increasingly misty.
Pei Qi felt she understood that look in his eyes a little better, and asked directly, "Do you want to kiss me?"
Guan Yue: "......"
"Then could you..." the capybara hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping itself.
The man's gaze shifted upwards to the young man's eyes: "What?"
The capybara lowered its gaze, deliberately avoiding the direct stare, and lowered its voice with each word: "Could you change my nickname? I'm not a bad capybara."
