Chapter 40 "Will we get a divorce?"...
Pei Qi wrote these words from the bottom of his heart.
He really felt that this habit was definitely not going to work.
He needs to get back into the habit of sleeping alone.
However, he felt it might also be related to the winter; Dr. Guan really seemed to have his own built-in heater, making him feel warm and safe when he was close to her.
But no new messages have popped up yet. Could it be that Dr. Guan is asleep?
The capybara stared at the screen for a few seconds, pursed its lips, and decided to end it with a "goodnight".
The next second, my phone vibrated.
Chef Guan: [Why is this habit unacceptable?]
Chef Guan: [I just don't like the habit of being held while sleeping.]
Chef Guan: [I still feel that the habit of wanting to be held by me is not right.]
What kind of question is this? It's so philosophical and convoluted.
Pei Qi pondered deeply for a few seconds.
I haven't quite figured out what these two questions are actually asking.
A new message popped up.
G: [You still want someone to hold you while you sleep?]
Pei Xi: ....
What are all these things?
How could such a conclusion be reached?
He quickly started typing: 【Of course not!】
Seven: [I just feel...]
Seven: [This habit is bad.]
Seven: [It's like needing the lights on to fall asleep.]
Seven: [This is easy to do; just install a nightlight in the bedroom.]
Guan Yue looked at the messages the capybara replied to, one after another, all expressing distrust.
He's not as reliable as a nightlight.
This stinky capybara.
Seven: [Dr. Guan isn't a nightlight, is he?]
Seven: [They can't stay here forever.]
Guan Yue: "......"
Seven: [It's already past midnight, Dr. Guan, you should go to sleep.]
He saw the time reminder in the upper right corner of the screen and realized how late it was.
We shouldn't bother Dr. Guan anymore.
Seven: [Take a nap now.]
Seven: Goodnight.
The man standing by the bed in the duty room at that moment had turned off the lights. In the not-so-large space, only the screen emitted a white light.
He was certain that the stinky capybara was just playing a trick on him.
Otherwise, why would they be able to toss his heart high and then slam it down so hard?
Is this kind of habit okay?
They're just taking advantage of the fact that he can't go back right now.
Otherwise, he would definitely beat this stinky capybara to a pulp.
The capybara in its apartment bed was completely unaware of this potential danger.
He had no idea that Dr. Guan's habits were even worse than his own.
wrong.
It's terrible.
He simply moved to the side where Dr. Guan usually lay, closer to the man's pillow.
The scent of cedar became even stronger.
My eyelids finally started to droop a little at this moment.
Luckily, tomorrow is the weekend, so I can sleep in.
I don't know what time it was, but suddenly I felt the temperature in the blankets had become a bit scorching.
He felt as if he was wrapped in something, and the heat made him sweat. He felt sticky all over and moved his fingertips uncomfortably. His consciousness gradually returned.
"Ugh..." He managed to make a sound with some difficulty, and his eyelids were not quite under his control. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and it took a lot of effort to lift his eyelids.
The blackout curtains were drawn in the room, and only a hazy outline of light could be seen outside the window.
The capybara stared at the window for a few seconds, and it felt as if a hand was attached to its waist, resting on its body; it felt a bit heavy.
He subconsciously shifted his position.
He knew who was behind him.
The scent of cedarwood in my nose was even stronger.
Is this position really something that can be formed by rolling into Dr. Guan's arms?
He couldn't help but start to have some doubts again.
Or perhaps, after he rolled inside, they both fell asleep, resulting in Dr. Guan embracing him in this position.
But now... what's more important is...
His side was very itchy. He didn't feel it when he was asleep, but now that he's awake, the itchy spot on his side has also come to mind.
The little capybara pursed its lips, held its breath, and carefully reached out to take the man's large hand that was resting on its waist.
Move it very, very gently, inch by inch.
Although the progress was slow, the breathing behind me remained unchanged, so it was still a success.
Just as the project was about to achieve a phased success, the giant hand that was originally just a consciousness suddenly awakened.
Before the capybara could react, the hand with prominent knuckles that he was holding suddenly gripped him tightly, and his waist tightened around it.
Then, he was moved several centimeters backward and fell into a warmer space.
"Ugh." The little capybara had just woken up, its voice still a little hoarse, with a patch of flattened black hair on the back of its head. "So tight...it hurts."
The pressure on my waist eased a little, but not by much.
He felt an itch on the back of his neck and instinctively shrank back.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" the man behind me finally spoke.
"I'm... I'm awake." The little capybara said, feeling that being turned away from Dr. Guan made it seem more passive, so it tossed and turned in the blankets and rolled over.
The man let him do whatever he wanted, but the large hand that was holding him at the waist remained unmoved.
The little capybara asked earnestly, "Did I roll over here again?"
Guan Yue remained calm and composed, answering, "Yes."
Pei Xi opened her sleepy eyes, still somewhat confused: "Didn't you tell Dr. Guan to push me away?"
The man lowered his gaze, looking directly at the young man's rosy face, which had just woken up: "I can't help it if you push me away but I keep coming back to you."
This description.
Pei Xi felt like a piece of dog skin plaster.
The capybara seemed to be seriously considering a solution: "Hmm... well..."
Before he could finish speaking, Guan Yue, with his eyes half-closed, asked casually, "When are we going to the flower and bird market?"
"What time is it now?" the capybara asked naturally, yawning.
Guan Yue: "It should be a little after ten o'clock."
The little capybara rolled its increasingly clear eyes: "Then let's get up and grab something to eat first, and then go to the flower and bird market."
Guan Yue: "Mm."
Um......
But why didn't you let go of him after saying "hmm"...?
How can he move?
Pei Qi struggled slightly, trying to get up.
But she happened to meet the man's downcast gaze.
That look in his eyes...
It's hard to describe.
But he understood it somewhat.
Because my eyes were fixed on his mouth.
This look suggests a desire to "use words".
"I..." the little capybara began weakly, expressing its concern, "I didn't brush my teeth."
Upon hearing this, the man's gaze, which had been lowered, subtly shifted away, and he calmly replied, "What are you thinking about?"
Pei Xi: "Hmm..."
"Your lips are a little chapped, put on some lip balm."
As soon as he finished speaking, the comfort in his waist suddenly eased.
The man then rolled over and got out of bed, his movements fluid and graceful.
Only the little capybara was left lying blankly in bed.
So he misunderstood.
He couldn't help but stick out the tip of his tongue and lick his dry lips.
It seems a bit too dry.
I definitely need to buy some lip balm.
After a quick lunch, the two went to the flower and bird market together.
Yujiang Mansion is located near a commercial district and is situated in a riverside area, a very bustling location, yet it lacks a flower and bird market.
The flower and bird market is located in the old town, and it takes about an hour to drive there.
The capybara took another nap in the car, and when it woke up, they had just arrived at their destination.
The market not only sells all kinds of green plants and potted plants, but also many koi, goldfish, parrots, pigeons, turtles...
Pei Xi rarely visited this kind of market. Looking at the astonishing density of goldfish in the vendor's fish tank, he recalled the five goldfish he had carefully cared for before. He had let them live in a fish tank that was relatively large and spacious, observing their movements every day, feeding them strictly, and checking the water temperature and environment... but they all died.
"Want to raise this?" Guan Yue looked at the little capybara with half its body bent over.
"Never mind, I tried to raise one before, but it didn't survive." The little capybara shook its head and straightened its back. "Does Dr. Guan want to raise one?"
The man shook his head and said quietly, "No, I can't even keep up with one. It can eat and sleep well."
Pei Xi: "..."
It took him a while to realize that the man was talking about him.
Does he have a big appetite?
Do you sleep a lot?
It seems so...
There was no way to refute it.
Let's forget about that then, let's go browse some green plants and potted plants instead.
Among the colorful array of plants, the two chose three pots of daffodils, two pots of dragon plum blossoms, and three pots of Atlantic cedar bonsai.
On the way back, Pei Qi was thinking about where to place each potted plant. They definitely needed to be placed in the living room, and one could be placed on the bay window in the bedroom. Daffodils could be placed on the island counter. However, each one had to be placed in a sunny spot, otherwise it would be even more difficult to keep them alive in winter.
As soon as I entered the house, the little capybara started carrying the potted plants around looking for a place to sit.
"Should we put it on the TV cabinet or on the balcony?" the young man asked, holding the perfectly trimmed cedar tree in his hands.
He didn't really listen to what the capybara was saying.
They were completely immersed in the scene.
Um.
The little capybara has finally started decorating the space.
So they've finally made this place their home?
The man's expression flickered slightly, but he quickly looked away: "Go ahead and do your thing, I'll go cook."
"Oh... okay." Pei Xi pouted and nodded obediently.
Then I started slowly moving the bonsai around, trying them out in every corner, and then gradually comparing which place was best.
It can be placed anywhere without disrupting the original minimalist atmosphere of the space, while also adding a touch of "human touch".
After slowly finishing all that work, the food the man had prepared was on the table.
The whole house was filled with the aroma of food.
Pei Qi was just placing the last dragon plum tree on the balcony railing when she turned back into the living room. Several steaming dishes were already laid out on the dining table, and Guan Yue, wearing an apron, was just coming out of the kitchen.
"Dinner's ready."
"Coming!" Pei Qi jogged into the kitchen to wash her hands.
Guan Yue: "There are chopsticks outside."
Pei Xi: "Okay."
It's a very ordinary conversation, and the scene is very ordinary.
But for some reason, the young man suddenly felt very full inside.
This is the first time in over twenty years that I've felt this way.
Even now, I have some doubts: will it all vanish one day?
Just like when he was a child, in that small but cozy bungalow, Jiang Shulin poured him hot water to wash his face.
It became a blurry phantom in my memory.
The phantoms in my memory and the trajectory of the present intertwine.
Then I remembered that he only slept well when the doctor was by his side recently.
Thinking of this, the capybara that had picked up its chopsticks suddenly put them down again and solemnly asked Guan Yue, "Dr. Guan, will we get a divorce?"
