Chapter 39 "I can't sleep without Dr. Guan holding me..."
Of course I feel sorry for you.
It wasn't a very long sentence, but it lingered in the man's ears for a long time.
Those eyes, which had previously held a hint of mockery, suddenly darkened, as if shrouded in something, and then averted their gaze.
Pei Qi continued to stare straight at Guan Yue, somewhat puzzled as to why Dr. Guan had suddenly stopped talking.
They even glanced down at each other.
She seemed a little sad.
Did you suddenly feel wronged?
He sometimes feels that way too.
I've had those moments too. I've gotten used to it, but as soon as someone shows me concern, my hard shell suddenly breaks open, revealing the soft filling inside.
Perhaps Dr. Guan is in a similar state of mind right now.
Hmm.
Does he want to hug Dr. Guan?
But the man was still wearing his white coat, and he felt that hugging him like that would be a disrespect to his profession.
So the little capybara just tilted its head, continued to stare at the man's eyes behind his glasses, and then reached out the hand that was resting on its chin to shake Dr. Guan's.
Dr. Guan was more than 20 centimeters taller than him, and his frame and hands were also larger.
His hand couldn't fully grasp the man's large, well-defined hand; he could only manage to grasp about two-thirds of it.
The warmth of my palm pressed against the slightly cool back of my hand.
Guan Yue's gaze was also drawn to the little capybara's keen observation, and he couldn't help but meet those clear, bright glasses.
The warmth of the back of my hand was gently eroding me.
"Dr. Guan, don't be sad. I will always cherish you from now on."
Guan Yue really had no idea what this stinky capybara was up to.
The veins on his forehead throbbed suddenly again.
"Do you feel sorry for anyone?" The man said calmly, suppressing his wildly excited nerves.
“Hmm…” Pei Qi was seriously considering the question. He was indeed the kind of person who would feel sorry for an old man in tattered clothes if he saw him on the street, but he probably didn’t feel sorry for everyone. “No, not really.”
Guan Yue: "You only care about me?"
"No, that's not it either," the capybara replied sincerely.
Guan Yue: "......"
"I also feel sorry for my master, who has a back injury and has to sit all afternoon fixing things. I also feel sorry for Senior Brother Su and Xiao Jia... Senior Brother Su also has a very serious cervical spondylosis. Last time, in order to meet the deadline, he was in so much pain that he couldn't even turn over..."
Guan Yue didn't want to listen to any more, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn downwards as he withdrew the hand that the young man had been holding.
Pei Qi was caught off guard when his palm was suddenly empty, and he was still a little taken aback.
"Senior Brother Su? The one with the deathly pale face?"
The two sentences were full of questions, especially when they addressed each other, and they even sounded a little strange. Pei Xi didn't know how to describe it, but it just felt odd.
There's also this description: face deathly pale.
Hmm... that's quite unique.
Pei Xi: "It's not that exaggerated, but Senior Brother Su does have fair skin."
Guan Yue: "He's your fellow disciple, right? How long have you known him?"
Pei Xi: "Yes, we've known each other for a long time, I've almost lost count. I met you when I was a freshman in college."
Guan Yue: "Did he confess his feelings to you too?"
"No, how could that be? Senior brother has a girlfriend." The capybara widened its eyes slightly and hurriedly denied it.
The sharpness in those two words, "like this," has finally lessened considerably.
But wait.
Why does he feel like something's not quite right?
Weren't we supposed to be comforting Dr. Guan? Why are we bringing up my senior colleague again?
"Not that many people have confessed their feelings to me." It seems like Dr. Guan thinks everyone will confess to him, but that's not an exaggeration.
Guan Yue listened and automatically translated: There aren't that many people, but there are indeed quite a few.
He didn't reply, but just pursed his lips and silently began to tidy up the lunch boxes on the table.
Pei Xi remained silent, simply staring at the man in the white coat before her.
Fortunately, Dr. Guan is tall and not the thin type, which should make him seem less likely to be bullied.
Guan Yue said, "I won't see you off later. I'm on duty and can't leave. Text me when you get home."
It was just a normal reminder, nothing else, but for some reason, there was a hint of jealousy in the air.
“Okay.” Pei Qi nodded. “I’ll be off tomorrow too, no rush.”
"By the way, shall we go to the flower and bird market tomorrow? We don't need to go too early, let's go after Dr. Guan wakes up."
I've wanted to go to the flower and bird market for a long time, but I've kept putting it off until today.
Guan Yue: "Okay."
At that moment, there was a knock on the closed door of the duty room.
"Dr. Guan, a new patient has arrived."
The man quickly stood up and took a new face mask from the drawer: "Okay, coming right away."
"Okay." The footsteps outside the door gradually faded into the distance.
Guan Yue turned his gaze away, just about to give the capybara some instructions.
The little capybara quickly replied, "Dr. Guan, you go ahead. I'll go downstairs and go home by myself. I'll call you when I get home."
"Okay, be careful on the road." The man nodded, and as he turned the doorknob, he added, "Call me if anything happens."
"Okay." The little capybara nodded obediently.
The man then went out the door.
After sitting for a while, Pei Xi folded the food box, picked it up, and left the hospital.
When he arrived at the apartment building, he sent a message to let the man know he was safe, but the man did not reply, probably because he was still busy.
He put his phone down and touched the fingerprint lock's recognition area with his fingertip, but he always forgot which finger he had registered.
It should take two or three tries.
With a "click," the door opened.
The little capybara kept repeating to itself, "It's the right index finger, it's the right index finger," to reinforce its memory.
Standing in front of the entrance hall, he suddenly felt that the apartment was so empty and cold. He hadn't noticed it when Dr. Guan was here, but now it just felt so empty.
In addition, the apartment's design and interior are predominantly dark-toned, either gray or black, and the furniture is mostly made of hard lines, making it feel particularly cold.
It's almost winter again.
The capybara, still changing its shoes, couldn't help but shiver.
I must buy some green plants tomorrow. In winter, I can buy daffodils or red plum bonsai, etc.
He finished washing up and went to bed while thinking about it.
This seems to be the first time he's slept here alone since he and Dr. Guan started sleeping in the master bedroom.
The style of the master bedroom is not much different from that of the second bedroom, except that it is slightly larger and has an additional bay window.
There was a small wooden table on the bay window, covered with medical magazines and books, mostly in English.
He had glanced at it before, and then realized more clearly what it meant to be "a person in a different field is like a person with a mountain to climb".
He then silently closed the magazine and picked up the ancient books his master had been giving him recently.
He was planning to glance at the screen a few times before going to sleep, but his phone rang several times.
It was my third aunt, whom I hadn't contacted in a long time, who sent me a WeChat message.
Third Aunt: [Xiaoqi, I heard from your mother that you've found a boyfriend?]
Third Aunt: [No wonder you said you wouldn't go when I introduced you to this before.]
Third Aunt: [I should have told Third Aunt sooner.]
Although Auntie and Jiang Shulin are sisters, Auntie is obviously not as assertive and is more reasonable.
Pei Xi was also a little embarrassed. He hadn't told the woman before because he felt it was too sudden, but he had genuinely forgotten to say it later, so he quickly explained.
Seven: [I'm sorry, Auntie.]
Seven: [It wasn't that I intentionally hid it from you, it was just a bit sudden, and I was afraid it would scare you.]
Third Aunt: [How could that be? I'm happier than ever that you've found someone!]
Third Aunt: [When will you bring it to meet your third aunt?]
Seven: [Let's wait a while. I'm quite busy with work these days.]
Third Aunt: [Okay, your work is more important.]
Third Aunt: [Get some rest, Third Aunt is going to sleep too.]
Seven: [Goodnight, Auntie.]
After the conversation ended, the little capybara felt a huge sense of relief in his chest, and thankfully his aunt didn't blame him.
Fortunately, Jiang Shulin did not tell her third aunt that she had said she would not contact her again.
It's not surprising, given Jiang Shulin's pride, she probably wouldn't let people know that her relationship with her son is strained.
He opened the chat window with the woman, his eyes instinctively falling on "Chef Guan's" profile picture.
There has been no reply yet.
Have you been busy for so long?
I hope there won't be any more unreasonable family members causing trouble.
The little capybara was a little nervous, pursed its lips, and clicked into the chat box.
I want to send one more message.
But I was also worried that it might bother Dr. Guan.
Dr. Guan has always emphasized that we shouldn't send him messages while he's working.
Hmm.
Let's forget about it.
He turned off the screen, switched to sleep mode, and then reopened the ancient book that was placed beside his bed.
Unbeknownst to them, the moonlight grew ever deeper.
Guan Yue has just returned from the emergency room.
After Pei Xi left, he admitted three patients, and then the emergency room called again, reporting two car accident victims.
It was only after all this trouble that he finally returned to the duty room.
I haven't had a chance to check my phone.
Among all the messages, only one message was displayed above the capybara's profile picture.
Seven: [Dr. Guan, I'm home.]
Okay, that's it.
That's all.
The man stared silently at the chat interface between the two, his face dark and gloomy.
She said she felt sorry for him.
That's why I feel so sorry for you.
It's almost midnight, and that sleepy little capybara must be asleep by now.
They don't even say "goodnight" to themselves before going to sleep.
He suddenly turned his phone face down, sat on the sofa in the duty room, and looked at the clock on the wall for a while.
I struggled with this decision for almost five minutes.
The man still picked up his phone.
G: [Just finished.]
G: [Go to sleep.]
G: Goodnight.
Why are you licking it like that?
He regretted it as soon as he sent it.
Let's just withdraw it.
Goodnight.
Press and hold the dialog box with your fingertip to prepare to withdraw.
Suddenly, the fuselage went numb.
A stinky capybara: [Working so late?]
The man suddenly released his fingers and typed: "Hmm, still awake?"
A stinky capybara: [Can't sleep.]
A stinky capybara: [Dr. Guan.]
G: [ ? ]
A smelly capybara: [You'd better not hug me to sleep anymore.]
The man's face darkened again. Luckily, no one was around, or he would have been terrified by the male ghost.
G: [You rolled over here yourself.]
A stinky capybara: [Then push me away.]
A stinky capybara: [I can't sleep even when the doctor is holding me.]
A stinky capybara: [This habit is definitely not okay.]
