Chapter 27 "Move in to sleep here".
Guan Yue rarely called him by his full name; when she was a little more serious, she would just call him "Teacher Pei".
The young man was stunned for two seconds after being called that, and then he actually leaned his head forward.
How could he possibly tell whose teeth mark it was...?
But the way Dr. Guan looked and spoke made it seem as if he was the one who did it.
etc......
Did he do it?
Really?
The capybara looked at the man with a hint of surprise and doubt, clutching the hem of its clothes.
He couldn't tell either, since he didn't pronounce the character "栖" (qi).
Could it be that he drank too much last night and did it?
Is doing something so... excessive?
In the young man's mind, a million threads were tangled together.
They were tangled together.
"Did you see it clearly?" Guan Yue noticed it again.
This guy is slacking off again.
"Hmm..." The young man's slightly increased momentum had completely vanished. He said softly and uncertainly, "Is...it me?"
"Be confident." The man raised an eyebrow, looking down at the little capybara with its head raised and its eyes filled with disbelief. "Teacher Pei bit it very decisively last night."
Pei Xi felt that he couldn't understand Chinese characters anymore.
My mind was completely blocked.
Did you really do it yourself...?
"Don't you believe me?" The man slowly raised one hand, exposing a ring of teeth marks on the inside of his wrist to the young man's view.
The teeth marks were deeper than those on the Adam's apple, and the outline of the teeth marks was very clear, with the outer ring even showing a hint of purple.
The little capybara tilted its head back slightly, its astonishment deepening: "This... I did this?"
Guan Yue: "It was the dog's doing."
The man's tone was cool, and he still had his arm raised.
The capybara didn't show any displeasure at being called a puppy; it just kept apologizing and reached out to gently take the man's hand: "I'm sorry, please sit down."
The young man spoke softly, leading the man to sit on the sofa.
Guan Yue cooperated and sat down next to the capybara.
The sofa's spring core sank slightly downwards.
"Let me see, this...it's so deep." Pei Xi stared at the man's wrist for several seconds with a troubled expression, then looked up at the man's Adam's apple.
The teeth marks on the Adam's apple weren't so obvious, at least they hadn't turned purplish-red.
"Do you have...do you have any ointment at home? Let me apply it for you, Dr. Guan. Is your wrist...doing it hurt a lot?" The young man pursed his lower lip, his tone very sincere. "I'm sorry, next time...if I'm drunk like this, just give me a punch, don't hold back...no, there won't be a next time, I'll never drink again."
He didn't know why he could do so many amazing things after drinking.
The first time he was drunk, he dragged someone to bed; the second time he was drunk, he almost bit open someone's radial artery...
He even bit someone's Adam's apple!
Guan Yue turned his gaze away and focused on the capybara's tightly bitten lower lip, his tone slightly stern: "Don't bite, or it will break."
"Hmm..." Pei Qi's mind raced. He hadn't bitten Doctor Guan yet. "I...I didn't bite him."
After saying that, she bit her lip, feeling somewhat lost.
Guan Yue: "......"
The man had no choice but to reach out, grab the capybara's chin, and press his fingertips against its lips, applying a little pressure.
The lower lip then escaped from under the teeth.
"If you don't bite others, you'll bite yourself, right?"
Pei Qi then realized that Dr. Guan had told him not to bite his lips.
"I won't bite anymore." His voice was as weak as a kitten meowing listlessly. "I'll go get the ointment."
"It's in the second drawer." The man gestured to the glass coffee table shelf in front of him.
Upon receiving instructions, the little capybara eagerly reached for the ointment, then unscrewed the cap: "I'll apply it to Dr. Guan with a cotton swab."
He was thinking that Dr. Guan was a germaphobe and was about to get some cotton swabs.
"We've run out of cotton swabs at home," the man said without batting an eye.
Pei Xi remembered seeing a large box of them just a few days ago: "All used up? So quickly?"
Guan Yue: "Mm."
Pei Xi: "Then I'll use my hands. I just washed them, they're clean."
The man didn't speak, but silently raised his neck slightly, fully exposing his Adam's apple, which was marked with red spots.
Pei Qi dipped her index finger into a small piece of cool ointment, carefully approached the man, held her breath, and gently touched the "scarred" Adam's apple with her fingertip.
He moved very slowly and carefully, afraid of hurting Dr. Guan.
The fingertip touched the man's Adam's apple; the touch was hard, with a slight sliding quality, and the smooth skin bore tiny teeth marks.
The thought that Pei Xi had bitten herself made her ears uncontrollably heat up, so hot they felt like they were about to explode.
He has no memory of anything.
I've already bitten it, but I don't remember any of the taste.
It's a bit of a loss.
Wow, how could I have such a... idea?
The capybara couldn't help but condemn itself in its heart, and it touched the red mark with its fingertips even more gently.
Guan Yue lowered his eyes, the corners of his eyes slightly upturned, and said quietly, "Being so careful, why didn't Teacher Pei show any mercy last night?"
The little capybara's fingertips trembled, and the suspicious red marks at the base of its ears had spread to its neck, with its cheeks also turning a light pink.
It turns red like a little tomato when teased, it's so funny.
"Why don't you punch me, Dr. Guan, to vent your anger?" This was the only solution Pei Xi could think of.
Guan Yue: "If I break it, I'm supposed to be responsible?"
Pei Qi: "No need, you don't need to take responsibility."
Guan Yue's voice suddenly turned cold: "Then who else do you want to take responsibility?"
Pei Xi: "..."
The man abruptly looked away, coughed twice, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
Pei Xi didn't know what to say, so she lowered her eyes and decided to focus on her wound: "Hmm... my neck is better... I'll apply it to my wrist."
Guan Yue cooperated by extending his wrist, which had been bitten purple: "Shall we have dinner at your master's house tomorrow, or should we book a restaurant?"
"Let's go to Master's house for dinner. Master's wife cooks very well. Dr. Guan can try some." Pei Qi said, gently rubbing the man's wrist.
Guan Yue didn't speak, but lowered his eyes, his gaze slowly moving from his wrist to the capybara.
The capybara was so engrossed in painting that it was completely unaware that it was now a delicious prey fully exposed to the frost wolf's sight.
Guan Yue: "Do you want to move in and sleep here?"
The young man, who was screwing the cap back on the ointment, paused, "Wh...what?"
"Isn't Teacher Pei worried that if we sleep in separate rooms, our desires won't have a place to be satisfied?" the man said casually, then added indifferently, "Although I personally don't think there's a problem, but if Teacher Pei needs it..."
Pei Qi's face had finally cooled down, but now it seemed to be getting hot again. She hurriedly said, "No need! I...I'm fine too."
After saying that, the capybara ran off without even looking up: "I'm going to take a shower, Dr. Guan, you should go to bed early too."
After taking a shower, Pei Qi finally calmed down. Because she had slept too much during the day, she was having some trouble falling asleep.
He turned to face the bedside lamp that emitted a warm glow.
A philosophical question suddenly popped into my head.
Would I feel safer sleeping with Dr. Guan than with a bedside lamp?
I thought about it for a while.
He found it difficult to draw a conclusion because the only time he could remember sleeping with Dr. Guan was when the lights were on.
So, after thinking for almost half an hour, the young man successfully made himself sleepy.
They concluded that a desk lamp is more reliable, since it will always be there.
With this answer in mind, the little capybara finally found peace.
The next day, I was woken up by a phone call from my master.
Pei Qi's voice was hoarse: "Master..."
"Not up yet? I'm at the market. Is there anything you and the doctor who did the appendectomy want to eat?" The background noise on the receiver was quite loud, and you could also hear the shouts of vendors selling discounted tangerines. "I'll buy you some tangerines."
Pei Xi's mind gradually cleared, and she yawned: "Okay."
Chiang Kai-shek: "What do you want to eat? Braised pork, stir-fried shrimp, stewed pork with potatoes..."
The elderly man ordered several dishes that young people usually like to eat.
Pei Xi: "Could you cook a few spicy dishes?"
Old Jiang: "Which one likes spicy food?"
Pei Xi: "Yes, he prefers spicy food."
Old Jiang: "Alright, come over as soon as possible..."
Pei Xi: "Okay."
When the capybara woke up, Guan Yue had already prepared breakfast and changed its clothes.
She wore a turtleneck underneath a dark jacket.
Seeing this outfit, Pei Qi couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
If he hadn't bitten people randomly, Dr. Kwan wouldn't have had to wear a turtleneck in September.
"I bought some supplements and food. Please check if there are any dietary restrictions for the elderly." After parking the car in front of the old-style residential building, Guan Yue opened the trunk.
Pei Qi stood in front of the trunk, looking at the piles of tonics, such as cordyceps, dendrobium officinale, bird's nest, donkey-hide gelatin, and Pu'er tea... piled up like a small mountain.
"No... I don't have any dietary restrictions." The little capybara's eyes widened as it looked at the pile of gift boxes in front of it. Was this "a little something"?
Pei Xi: "When...did you prepare this?"
"I didn't prepare anything special. It was a gift from someone else, so I'm just passing on what I received." As he spoke, the man had already taken down most of the gift boxes and was carrying them in his hand.
Pei Qi stepped forward to help, carrying two boxes as well: "Oh, are these bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin for you?"
Guan Yue: "...Which floor?"
"Sixth floor..." Pei Qi hesitated to tell the man this harsh reality, "These old-style residential buildings don't have elevators..."
Guan Yue replied calmly, "Mm."
The man carried the gift box, which he couldn't lift with either hand, up to the sixth floor.
Pei Xi, who was carrying only two boxes, was already panting heavily, while the man seemed quite relaxed, though his breathing was a little heavier.
Not long after the knocking on the security door, Old Jiang opened it from the inside.
The old man greeted them warmly, "Why did you bring so much stuff? Come in, come in..."
Guan Yue smiled politely and said modestly, "It's just a small token of my appreciation."
"No need... just come." Old Jiang led the two into the house, his eyes lingering on the man for a while. "Why are you wearing a turtleneck? The typhoon's gone and it's getting warmer today, aren't you hot?"
The man didn't rush to answer; instead, he turned his gaze to the small capybara beside him.
It seems that this difficult problem has been thrown to him.
Pei Qi was taken aback, her eyes darting around.
Following Guan Yue's gaze, Lao Jiang looked at the capybara, his eyes filled with questions.
Pei Qi could only bite the bullet and make up a story: "He...he recently had a physical exam and they said he's weak and needs to wear more clothes to keep warm."
