Chapter 49 "Who is Dr. Guan's phone password...?"
As expected of a popular post, it immediately caught the little capybara's eye.
He clicked on it.
Su Baibai (Original Poster): [Summary 1. The other person will unconsciously want to get closer to you. This includes, but is not limited to, social media, and arranging to meet in person. In short, if the other person is interested in you, they will definitely want to contact you.]
2. The desire to share. Someone who likes you will definitely have a strong desire to share with you. They might even tell you what color socks they wore that morning, because when people like someone, they can't help but tell them everything about themselves; it's a process of self-disclosure.
3. Personally, I feel that intuition is often a reliable way to judge whether someone loves you; you can also try to feel it with your heart.
4. If you have a crush on someone, you're prone to making mistakes in your judgments, and you'll likely interpret most of the other person's actions as expressions of liking you.
A little leopard: [The last one is truly amazing!]
Mei Maobing: [Actually, you could try the "cup effect"; I personally feel it makes some sense.]
......
There were many replies. Pei Qi browsed through them and became somewhat interested in the "cup effect," so she searched for the testing method.
It's actually quite simple. When two people are together, you can try slowly pushing your cup towards the other person's cup. If the other person doesn't resist this further action and doesn't maintain a safe distance, it means that the other person has feelings for you.
Meanwhile, his mind was going over the accounts one by one.
Why do I feel an irresistible urge to get closer?
A desire to share?
intuition?
Dr. Guan didn't seem to feel an irresistible urge to get close to him, except when she was sleeping. However, Dr. Guan seemed to have said that he rolled over there on his own...
The desire to share seems alright, not too exaggerated.
And intuition... He had absolutely no intuition.
As for the major premise of unrequited love, he probably didn't have a crush on Dr. Guan.
Um......
Looking at it this way, it seems the only option is to try the cup effect.
Just then, Guan Yue brought the food to the table: "Come and eat."
"I'm here." The young man turned off his phone and got up to go eat.
On the table were a dish of braised chicken with potatoes, stir-fried asparagus, and eggplant with soy sauce.
And the sausages he had just steamed.
Mealtimes were no different from usual.
"Dr. Guan," Pei Qi said, pursing her lips, "is there anything you'd like to say to me?"
He remembered the suggestion about the desire to share, and then inexplicably blurted out the question.
If you voluntarily ask others to share something, does that mean they have a desire to share with you? Does it not really count?
As soon as she finished speaking, the little capybara pursed its lips again and looked down at the white rice in its bowl.
Guan Yue was just picking up a piece of asparagus when he frowned slightly and asked, "What did you say?"
"Cough...no, it's nothing." Pei Qi shook her head and laughed awkwardly twice. "This asparagus is delicious."
Guan Yue: "But you just ate eggplant."
Pei Xi: "..."
"It's just...it looks delicious," the young man managed to say, realizing he'd better keep quiet.
Guan Yue frowned again, feeling that this little capybara was acting a bit strange today.
The capybara stopped talking and buried its head in its food.
The man's braised chicken with potatoes was as delicious as ever; the potatoes were sticky and perfect with rice.
While he was eating, he remembered the cup effect again.
Hmm.
I need to find a cup to try it out.
After finishing his meal, Guan Yue went to wash the dishes as usual. Usually at this time, the little capybara would be watching TV in the living room and peeling an orange for him to eat.
Today, there are still oranges, and two more cups of hot tea.
"I saw some Longjing tea on the table, so I brewed two cups. Would you like to try some, Dr. Guan?"
The young man was sitting cross-legged on the wool rug under the coffee table, tilting his head and looking at him with sincere eyes.
That look in his eyes.
Even if it was arsenic, he would still have to drink it.
"Why are you making tea tonight? Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" The man slightly turned his gaze away from the capybara, walked closer to the sofa, and slowly sat down.
"Here you go, a little bit shouldn't be a problem, right?" Pei Qi handed one of the cups of hot tea to Guan Yue. "It smells quite nice."
The man took the sip, his brow furrowing slightly involuntarily: "Why are you sitting on the ground? Aren't you cold?"
"Hmm." Because the coffee table in the living room was rather low, it wasn't convenient to make tea while sitting on the sofa, so he simply sat on the carpet.
The wool carpet felt very comfortable and insulated him from the cold temperature of the floor. Once he sat down, he didn't want to get up.
"It's not cold, it's quite comfortable," the little capybara replied with a smile, revealing a pair of dimples.
"You'll catch a cold later..." the man said before he could finish.
Pei Qi quickly replied, "I won't catch a cold. If I do, I won't bother Dr. Guan anymore."
He remembered what Dr. Guan had said before.
The man's brow furrowed even more. He put down the glass in his hand and placed it back on the coffee table: "Didn't I say... you can only trouble me?"
The capybara seemed to focus all its attention on the glass that had been put down again. Before Dr. Guan could completely put down his glass, it hurriedly reached out and moved its cup of hot tea closer to the man.
The bottom of the glass made a slight, subtle friction sound against the surface of the coffee table.
His glass slowly moved closer to Guan Yue's glass.
The distance between the two prismatic glasses gradually decreases.
Until only one or two centimeters were left.
Guan Yue's palm was still wrapped around the warm glass, and his slightly brown pupils, hidden behind his thin glasses, were fixed on the glass that the capybara was slowly pushing into.
Suddenly it became very quiet.
All I could hear was the sound of the television broadcasting gossip news.
Pei Qi pushed the glass with two fingers, making a very small pushing motion, and now he thought he had quietly pulled his two fingers back.
But... she had only moved her gaze up two or three centimeters when she was caught by the man's deep gaze.
Hmm...
He didn't know how to interpret that expression, but it was incredibly penetrating.
He didn't dare to meet her gaze at all, so he quickly glanced down again.
or......
He should pull the cup back...
I feel like I've invaded Dr. Guan's "territory".
The little capybara swallowed hard, its Adam's apple bobbing back and forth. It then carefully reached out, grasped the glass, and slowly pulled it back.
The glass was held by the capybara, which moved backward inch by inch.
The gap between the two cups, which was almost closed, widened again.
Little by little, widen the distance.
Suddenly.
The man released the glass from his hand and instead grasped the young man's slender, fair wrist.
Capybaras really don't have much meat on them; their wrists are barely bigger than the diameter of a glass.
Because of his thinness, the radial styloid process is particularly prominent.
It rested between his palms.
Pei Qi felt a sudden tightening on her wrist.
The project to pull the glass back had to be terminated.
With no other option, she raised her lowered gaze and looked at the man sitting on the sofa: "Hmm..."
"What are you doing?" Guan Yue spoke up, breaking the quiet space that was only filled with the sound of the television.
"I..." How could he explain this? Pei Qi hesitated for a moment, then could only weakly say, "Push the cup..."
The man's sharply defined lips pressed into a straight line: "Why are you pushing the cup?"
"Playing..." He really didn't know how to explain his behavior.
Guan Yue: "......"
"Why push it over and then pull it back?"
Pei Xi: "Fun..."
Guan Yue: "......"
The man fell silent.
The living room fell into a deathly silence once again.
Just then, the gossip news on TV finished airing, and they started showing a catchy advertisement for health supplements.
The capybara felt its wrists were sweating from being gripped so tightly.
Dr. Guan showed no sign of loosening his grip; on the contrary, he applied even more pressure.
It hurts a little.
"close......"
He was interrupted after saying only one word: "What is 0713? You still haven't told me."
Guan Yue had never forgotten this string of numbers with no known origin, and combined with the strange behavior of this wicked capybara today, his suspicions about the numbers grew stronger.
"Oh..." He had forgotten that he hadn't told Dr. Guan the significance of the code yet. "This is the date I successfully restored the first ancient book, July 13th."
It was a late Qing Dynasty thread-bound storybook, severely damp. It was his first time restoring it independently, but the final result was excellent.
So he felt that day was particularly memorable.
A hint of clarity finally appeared in the man's sinister gaze: "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" The capybara pouted. "I've already said before, I don't have any exes."
Guan Yue: "Indeed, you even told me it was your first time."
Pei Xi: "..."
Well... there's no need to bring this up specifically.
But now he suddenly wants to ask the man a question.
Is this... also the first time?
She has had several relationships.
Dr. Guan is three or four years older than me, so I guess she must have more romantic experience than me.
Moreover, he remembered that Dr. Guan's phone password was 0618.
If it's not Dr. Guan's birthday, then whose is it?
It's better not to ask.
The little capybara lowered its gaze, its downward-curling eyelashes trembling slightly.
I'm daydreaming again.
Guan Yue's forehead veins throbbed twice.
This stinky capybara can always slip away, no matter when.
As if punishing him, he squeezed the young man's wrist hard, as if trying to completely embed the capybara's wrist into his own palm.
The little capybara groaned in pain, its round eyes brimming with tears as it looked up at the man.
The man's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm: "What are you thinking about now?"
"I'm thinking..." After a two-second pause, the capybara finally asked, "Whose birthday is Dr. Guan's phone password...?"
