Chapter 30 "Why did you suddenly kiss me?"...
The man's hand rested on the bedroom doorknob, and he paused slightly.
A glint of something unusual flashed in his eyes, hidden behind his half-rimmed glasses.
He quickly raised his hand and pushed his glasses up, suppressing the strange light in his eyes.
Without batting an eye, he uttered a curt remark: "Can I go?"
“Sure, why not?” The capybara didn’t detect the oddness in the man’s words and answered sincerely.
Guan Yue: "Friday night?"
"Okay!" Pei Qi nodded. "Around six o'clock, around the time I get off work."
"Let me see if I'm free." The man continued to turn the bedroom doorknob.
Pei Xi nodded twice more: "Okay, Dr. Guan will take a look."
Guan Yue: "Mm."
"Goodnight, Dr. Guan." The young man turned his head and prepared to leave.
"Dry your hair before you sleep," the man behind you suddenly said.
Pei Qi reached out and ran her fingers through her half-dry hair, feeling that she no longer needed to blow-dry it...
He always dries his hair rather perfunctorily, but this level is passable.
Guan Yue: "You're just going to give up?"
He suspected that Dr. Guan wasn't a surgeon, but a psychologist—wasn't that practically mind-reading ability...?
The capybara turned back to its side, sheepishly raising the corners of its mouth, trying to get away with it: "I think it's almost dry... um."
Before he could finish speaking, the man had already stepped forward and grabbed the unruly wet pufferfish: "So lazy."
Then Pei Xi was led back into the bathroom.
Guan Yue stood behind him and picked up the hair dryer from the sink: "Don't move around, you'll get burned."
As he spoke, the hair dryer started up with a "hum".
Pei Xi dared not move, standing in front of the half-length mirror like a greenhorn.
I just took a shower, and the bathroom smells sweet like plums. A thin layer of fog covers the half-length mirror.
Pei Xi looked at the image in the half-length mirror through her black hair, which was being blown about by the wind.
Dr. Guan, who was almost half a head taller than him, was standing behind him, holding a hair dryer in one hand.
With his other hand, he stroked the top of his head, his fingers running through his hair, blowing hot air through each strand of black hair.
The hair was covered with fingerprints.
Pei Xi stared at the mirror, stunned for several seconds.
The mirror was blurry, but the mirror of my heart seemed to become very bright.
The noise from the hair dryer stopped abruptly after five seconds.
"Alright, from now on, dry your hair before going to sleep, understand?" Guan Yue placed the hairdryer back on the table.
My whole body, especially my palms, was covered in the sweet smell of plums.
Her ears were unconsciously dyed the color of ripe plums.
The little capybara in the frosted mirror is staring at its reflection and grinning foolishly.
Guan Yue subconsciously looked away: "What are you laughing at?"
Pei Xi: "Dr. Guan was the second person to blow-dry my hair."
"Who was the first one?" The man suddenly frowned, his tone becoming more urgent. "Your ex-boyfriend?"
Pei Qi shook her head: "Um, I don't have an ex-boyfriend."
The man's brow relaxed slightly: "Who is that?"
"It was my mother." At that time, his mother had not yet gone to another place, and his younger brother had not yet been born.
Guan Yue's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of tenderness appearing in his eyes, and he suddenly leaned down.
He turned his face and rubbed his lips against the little capybara's cheek.
Like the affectionate behavior between animals.
Pei Qi was taken aback, her body stiffening slightly. She then looked up and turned to face the man directly: "Why did you suddenly kiss me? Are you trying to comfort me?"
On her delicate and pretty face, a pair of sweet dimples appeared: "I'm not sad. I can blow-dry my hair myself, and Dr. Guan will blow-dry it for me too."
The man didn't speak.
The thin mist on the mirror slowly dissipated, gradually becoming clearer.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" With that, the man turned and left.
The little capybara stood still, blinking its eyes.
Looking at myself in the mirror.
A few strands of hair on his head stood up.
He reached out and brushed the strands of hair down.
Hmm... Dr. Guan's explanation wasn't very effective.
"It's so well done, Xiaoqi. This mounting is so perfect." Su Mo looked admiringly at the masterpiece made by his junior brother. "This is the last one. We've finally finished it."
Pei Qi also let out a long sigh, got up from his workstation, and stretched. He hadn't felt it before, but now that he had put down his pen, he realized it.
My whole body feels sore.
Su Mo: "Finally, we managed to finish it before National Day."
The "Tianlu Linlang" exhibition was originally scheduled for early September, but due to the tedious and complicated work, even with everyone working overtime, it was not completed in time, so it was postponed to National Day.
Pei Xi nodded, her eyes showing obvious fatigue, when her phone on the table rang twice.
He then realized it was already five o'clock.
It was a WeChat message from my younger brother, Pei Xi.
Brother: [Brother, Mom and I are on our way to the restaurant.]
Brother: [Have you gotten off work yet?]
Seven: [Just finished.]
Seven: [I'm here too.]
After a quick greeting to her senior, the capybara hurried off to the subway station.
Jiang Shulin is a rather particular person, so he booked a high-end restaurant in the city center, which would take about forty minutes by subway.
On the subway, he suddenly thought of Dr. Guan again.
When I left home this morning, Dr. Guan told me to come over after rounds, but I don't know where I am now.
The capybara tapped open the phone.
Dr. Guan sent a message at that very moment.
Chef Guan: [My patient here has encountered a slight problem.]
Chef Guan: [Come over now, it will take about forty minutes.]
Seven: [Okay.]
Seven: [In VIP room 303.]
Chef Guan: [Hmm.]
The capybara stared at the screen for a while, lost in thought.
He was actually a little uneasy.
We really need to bring Dr. Guan to my mother's place.
I don't know how my mother will react.
He arrived at the restaurant with a heavy heart.
Fortunately, I arrived at the private room a little earlier than Jiang Shulin, otherwise I would definitely have been scolded again.
He had just entered the room and taken off his coat when the door to the private room was pushed open.
Jiang Shulin was the first to walk in.
The woman was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands, with a particularly eye-catching pearl necklace around her neck. The boy following behind her was dressed casually, but his shoes were also quite expensive.
Jiang Shulin glanced around the private room and slowly walked over: "This restaurant is not bad."
Pei Xi, standing behind him, came up and excitedly greeted Pei Qi, "Brother!"
"Come and sit down, see what you'd like to eat." Pei Xi smiled and stood up, her gaze shifting from Pei Xi to Jiang Shulin, "Mom."
Jiang Shulin nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips: "What kind of food is this? Your brother can't handle spicy food."
Pei Qi unfolded the menu, her smile fading: "None of them are spicy, they're local dishes from He City, none of them are spicy."
Pei Xi moved closer to him and naturally put her arm around his shoulder: "I missed you so much, brother. You haven't come back for so long."
“I’m quite busy since I just started working…” Pei Xi smiled at the boy, “Now that you’re studying in He City, we’ll see each other more often.”
Pei Xi said excitedly, "Yes, I was just thinking that you were busy, so I came to find you."
Pei Xi: "Take a look and see what you'd like to eat? Feel free to share."
"Okay!" The boy called over the waiter and then pointed randomly at the menu.
After ordering, the three of them sat down.
"Brother, do you work at a museum? That's so cool! Can you take me to see it?" Although Pei Xi and his brother are almost eight years apart and didn't grow up together, blood ties are a wonderful thing, and his younger brother is very attached to him.
Although he admired Pei Xi, he was never jealous of him.
“I can take you to a museum, but there are too many cultural relics at my workplace, so it’s not easy to go,” Pei Xi replied. “There will be an ancient book exhibition during the National Day holiday, and I’ll take you there then.”
"Ancient books exhibition, did you repair all of them?" Pei Xi's eyes were filled with overflowing admiration.
The little capybara scratched its head a little embarrassedly: "Well, I did participate. If I did all the repairs, I would have to spend half my life doing it."
Jiang Shulin, who hadn't spoken until now, slowly opened her mouth, her tone slightly cold: "Just sticking paper on it."
“Mom, those are cultural relics, not stickers,” Pei Xi retorted first. “Never mind, you wouldn’t understand.”
Jiang Shulin continued, "Your brother's college entrance exam scores were high enough that he could have chosen any other major, but he insisted on choosing this one..."
Pei Xi pursed her lips and did not reply.
At the time, he insisted on reporting the restoration of ancient books, which strained his relationship with Jiang Shulin. As a result, the two have become extremely distant and cold towards each other, and the woman still holds a grudge about it to this day.
Pei Xi: "Well...someone has to learn this, right? Protecting cultural relics is so sacred."
Jiang Shulin gave a cold laugh and remained silent.
Pei Xi felt a tingling sensation in her heart from that cold laugh.
It's hard to describe what it tastes like.
I just felt that the air in the private room was a bit thin.
"Did you specifically book a larger private room?" The woman looked at the extra empty seat. "Why don't you call Xiaobai from last time over, so you two can get to know each other again?"
“Little Bai is not bad, and he’s good-looking…” The woman’s red lips parted slightly as she finally looked at Pei Qi. “I don’t want to care about your work anymore. It’s a major life decision, so you should listen to me.”
Jiang Shulin is very beautiful with delicate features, and even as she gets older, her charm is still evident.
Pei Xi and Pei Xi both perfectly inherited their mother's good looks, with a pair of expressive round eyes.
When Pei Xi looked into the woman's eyes, he was reminded of his childhood.
When his mother smiled at him, her eyes would curve into crescent moons.
As he grew up, his mother almost never smiled at him like that again.
The little capybara paused for a few seconds, recalling scenes from its childhood.
Pei Xi ran out to help him out: "Mom, you're so long-winded. What's the rush? My brother will find it himself. You're being really annoying."
The woman didn't reply, but instead took out her phone and said, "I'll ask Xiaobai if he's ever eaten it."
“There’s someone here,” Pei Xi said hurriedly. “Mom, there’s someone here, he’s almost here.”
Jiang Shulin frowned: "Who is it?"
Pei Xi had actually been planning this for a long time.
We practiced it many times on the subway.
Finally, at this moment, she said somewhat stiffly, "I...my boyfriend."
"What? Who?!" Pei Xi reacted even more strongly than Jiang Shulin, jumping up from her chair. "Brother, you're in a relationship? You didn't even tell me!"
The door to the private room was also pushed open at this moment.
"I'm sorry, I'm late."
