Chapter 54 "Every night I have to help, help..."
"I...I ate it." The capybara felt it could still struggle a little longer.
Su Mo contradicted him again: "He didn't eat it. I'm reporting him by name."
"I really did eat... I ate egg yolk pie..." the little capybara weakly defended itself.
Eating egg yolk pie also counts as eating it.
Su Mo remained unforgiving, even though his junior brother was staring at him pitifully, practically ready to kowtow to him: "He's had a bit of a stomach problem before, Dr. Guan, you really need to take good care of him."
The man, who had been silent until now, finally opened his lips, his tone still ordinary: "I understand, I will manage it properly."
"Okay, go home and discipline them properly. I'm leaving now, let's talk another day."
With a single sentence, Su Mo successfully dragged his junior brother into a deep abyss and then gracefully withdrew from the fray.
Pei Xi: "..."
The little capybara didn't dare look back at all; it could only stubbornly stare out the car window.
Strangely, Dr. Guan didn't question him; instead, he heard the sound of an engine starting up.
The car drove smoothly along the road lined with birch trees.
Although Dr. Guan didn't say anything, he would rather Dr. Guan scold him.
It's even scarier when they don't speak.
Today is a rare good day in winter, but to the little capybara, it feels like a storm is brewing.
The capybara was unusually not sleepy in the car.
He could only sigh.
As the car turned into Tianmu Street, Pei Qi finally finished speaking and proactively promised, "I'll definitely go for lunch starting tomorrow..."
"Eating egg yolk pie again, huh?" Guan Yue said coldly, his hands on the steering wheel.
"No, no..." the young man hurriedly denied, "I'll eat properly... I'll eat well."
Guan Yue fell silent again and drove the car into the apartment's underground parking garage.
"Why won't you eat properly?" He knew this stinky capybara was definitely not a regular eater, otherwise it wouldn't be so thin and frail.
The two of them had already taken the elevator back to their apartment.
Pei Qi pursed her lips and carefully turned her gaze toward the man's side: "Well... sometimes I don't feel hungry and think I'll just grab a bite or two. Sometimes I want to finish this task before eating, but sometimes by the time I've finished, it's already past lunchtime, so... I think I'll just wait until after get off work to eat together."
The capybara only dared to glance away slightly, and still dared not meet the man's gaze.
Well, he couldn't even look at a man's chin.
The elevator doors opened on the 16th floor with a "ding".
Guan Yue walked straight out of the elevator and pressed his thumb against the fingerprint lock.
The front door opened with a "click".
The little capybara followed closely behind the big frost wolf, like its little tail.
His head hung low, looking somewhat dejected.
He has little experience in comforting people.
How can I stop Dr. Guan from getting angry?
"Hmm—"
The young man had just stepped into the house and onto the gray carpet in front of the door when, for some reason, a powerful force suddenly surged through his waist, and his legs dangled in the air for a few seconds.
By the time he realized what was happening, he was already pinned against the wooden wall-mounted shoe cabinet.
He knocked over a wooden carving on the shoe cabinet, making a dull thud.
The capybara instinctively looked down at the floor, trying to pick up the wooden carving from the ground.
The powerful force around his waist held him firmly to the counter.
The young man was then forced to meet Guan Yue's gaze.
"The wood carving fell to the ground..." Pei Qi reminded him softly.
The man ignored him and just stared at him intently.
He then noticed that Dr. Guan had changed his glasses today; they were frameless glasses with silver rims.
Coupled with those moist eyes.
It's even more intimidating.
The young man pursed his lips and subconsciously looked away.
“Look at me.”
Guan Yue didn't allow him to run away for long before speaking.
It was almost a command, giving no chance to refuse.
The capybara showed no sign of anger and raised its gaze again.
I just couldn't help but listen to men.
Sometimes he would think it was a pity that Dr. Guan didn't become a teacher.
The young man raised his eyes, which were clearer than glass or crystal, and his pupils were moistened.
Guan Yue: "Now, can you listen to what I have to say?"
The little capybara nodded.
They look like they're easy to bully.
"Eat three meals a day regularly. If I find you not eating properly, you'll have to help me every night until I'm satisfied."
Pei Qi was listening very seriously at first, but when she heard the last two sentences, her ears turned red and her eyes sparkled.
A layer of youthful innocence filled his pupils, but it was gradually enveloped by a layer of fear.
I help out every night...
I'll help you until you're satisfied...
He simply couldn't bear to think about it.
How could he go to work the next day?
"Did you hear me clearly?" The man's tone was as authoritative as ever.
Regardless of whether he heard it clearly or not, he has to answer that he felt he heard it clearly.
"I heard you right... I will eat it, I... I'll eat it very well." The little capybara nodded its head and timidly agreed.
But the two large hands on his waist showed no sign of moving away; their fingers exerted slight force, kneading the fabric of his hoodie.
It just so happened that I pressed on the spot where he had noticed a slight bruise that morning.
Pei Qi winced slightly, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she instinctively struggled a few times: "Hmph..."
He also has itchy spots on his waist, so it must be both painful and itchy, which is very uncomfortable.
"I really heard you clearly, Dr. Guan," the little capybara hummed, raising its eyes with a pitiful look.
Her eyes were wet.
"I want to get down... I don't know where I bumped my waist yesterday, there's a muscle that's really sore and bruised, so could you let go... I..." Pei Qi finished speaking and then bit her lower lip shyly.
The man's expression shifted slightly as he listened, his hand moving a few centimeters away before landing on the capybara's soft side, giving it a gentle squeeze: "Here?"
The force was quite light, but because it turned bruised, it still hurt.
The little capybara wrinkled its delicate face and nodded.
But the doctor is amazing! It's like an X-ray, able to see through objects and pinpoint locations precisely.
A glimmer of light gradually appeared in the man's moist eyes. He avoided the bruise on his waist with both hands, and with a little effort, lifted the capybara off the shoe cabinet.
"If you don't eat, your physical condition will be weak, so you'll get hurt easily if you bump into something." Guan Yue said shamelessly as he picked up the innocent wooden carving that had been injured on the ground.
The little capybara nodded, completely trusting what the "doctor" said and determined to follow his instructions.
He did indeed have some minor stomach problems.
After scolding him, Dr. Guan went into the kitchen to start making dinner.
He tried to help as usual, but was ordered to stay outside.
For dinner, he had his favorite braised chicken with potatoes, and stewed cabbage, a winter staple.
I was so tired from work today that after eating two big bowls of rice, my little capybara completely went into carbon monoxide sickness mode. After taking a shower, I snuggled into bed.
Guan Yue would finish some work and academic assignments in his study every night, sometimes not leaving until almost 11 p.m.
Feeling drowsy, Pei Xi decided not to roll around tonight; he wanted to go to bed early.
So he forced open his eyes and left a message for Guan Yue.
Seven: [I'm going to sleep now, I'm so sleepy.]
Seven: [Goodnight, Dr. Guan.]
Seven: [Zzzz.]
After pressing the last few "Z"s, the little capybara tilted its head to the side and lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, the alarm clock had just gone off.
His biological clock was messed up for several days after he "helped out," but it has finally been set back.
He was sleeping facing the direction of Dr. Guan, but he knew without turning back that the man was definitely gone.
Because it's not very warm in the blankets anymore.
And usually, he wakes up in Dr. Guan's arms...
He turned over and looked, and sure enough, the bed was empty.
The phone beside the bed kept lighting up, and the sleepy little capybara picked it up to check the messages.
Chef Guan: [I'm leaving early to finish my shift today.]
Chef Guan: [There are bento boxes in the kitchen, remember to take them with you.]
Chef Guan: [Eat this for lunch, then take a picture for me.]
Chef Guan: [Eat the breakfast that's on the table.]
Seven: [Did you make this bento?]
Chef Guan: "...I didn't make it."
Chef Guan: [Made by a ghost.]
Pei Xi knew that her question was a bit silly, mainly because she couldn't figure out what time Guan Yue would get up, and how to prepare breakfast and lunch.
Seven: [It must have taken a lot of time, right?]
Seven: [No need to bother, our company has a cafeteria.]
Seven: [Capibala pinching legs jpg.]
Chef Guan: [I want to bring my own lunch since I'm on duty.]
Chef Guan: [Just making a little extra.]
Hmm, I see.
But it seems that Dr. Guan never brought his own lunch when he was on duty before.
Chef Guan: [Going to hand over shift.]
The capybara, which was wandering around, was brought back to reality by the vibration of its phone.
Seven: [Okay.]
After replying, he got up, washed up, and went downstairs for breakfast.
Breakfast consisted of vegetable porridge, boiled eggs, and a plate of pickled vegetables.
They're all still warm.
The lunch packed in the bento box was even more lavish.
There was lush green romaine lettuce, stir-fried green beans, and braised beef.
It looks very tempting.
If he hadn't just finished drinking porridge, he would want to eat right now.
He squeezed onto the subway with his lunchbox. It was rush hour, and the carriage was packed. The little capybara tucked the lunchbox into his arms, afraid it would be knocked away by someone.
Around noon, Su Mo came over and invited him to lunch: "We should go eat today, right? Another egg yolk pie?"
Pei Qi put down the ink pen in his hand, a little bit of thin paste on his fingertips: "I brought my own lunch today, so I won't go to the cafeteria to eat."
Having worked with his junior brother for so long, this was the first time Su Mo had ever seen him bring his own lunch.
"Wow, Dr. Guan's treatment method is amazing! You've 'reformed' in no time!"
The little capybara smiled, its dimples revealing a sweet smile: "Dr. Guan made it."
These words flooded Su Mo's mind.
In the few times he encountered Guan Yue, the man was quite polite, but... well, how should I put it, his face was naturally cold.
He has an innate aura.
Therefore, he was always a little worried that his junior brother would be taken advantage of and bullied.
However, I now realize that I made a mistake in my prediction.
Su Mo: "Well, he's not bad."
Old He came over and invited them to have dinner together.
"I brought my own lunch," the capybara said again, then got up to heat up its food.
The lunchbox was made of microwave-safe material. He opened the lid and put it in the microwave for three minutes.
With a "ding," a fragrant aroma wafted out of the microwave oven he had just opened.
Pei Xi placed the bento box on the small table in the tea room, took a picture, and sent it to Guan Yue.
Seven: [Image: jpg]
Seven: [I'm starting to eat!]
It's exactly twelve o'clock now. I wonder if Dr. Guan has eaten yet?
He's still on the operating table.
Three minutes later, my phone went numb.
Chef Guan: [Image: jpg]
It was a bento box exactly the same as his.
Seven: [Is the department busy today?]
Chef Guan: [Three new patients have arrived; I just finished writing their prescriptions.]
Seven: [Thank you for your hard work.]
Chef Guan: [Another new patient, I'm not going to say anything more.]
Chef Guan: [Send me photos after you finish eating.]
Seven: [Okay.]
Being a doctor is really tiring, the little capybara thought to itself as it looked at the information in its hand.
He had to finish his meal; he couldn't let Dr. Guan down.
Then the little capybara started eating heartily, leaving only a little bit of stir-fry seasoning, green peppers, garlic, and the like in its bowl before taking a picture and sending it to Dr. Guan.
The man didn't reply immediately; he was probably still busy.
He put down his phone and prepared to begin his afternoon project.
The repair of the ancient book is complete. The next step is to do some finishing work. Due to the effect of the paste, the repaired pages may sometimes be uneven or wrinkled after drying. The repaired pages should be arranged in layers of five or six, staggered, and placed on absorbent paper.
Spray the pages with a spray bottle until they are damp, then add more paper. After spraying three or four layers, add a layer of absorbent paper and then press it down gently with a clip.
The next step is to wait until it is flattened before folding it.
After finishing the flattening work, he still had time, so he prepared to do the moisture-proofing work in the workplace.
Winters in Heshi are damp and cold, and the air is quite humid, so the task of preventing dampness cannot be relaxed.
Ancient books are most susceptible to moisture.
Dr. Guan was on duty today, so he wasn't in a hurry to go back. At 5:15 p.m., Pei Qicai leisurely walked out of the office gate.
The cold air officially arrived today, and the temperature in He City is rapidly approaching zero degrees Celsius.
The young man pulled his coat tighter around himself and walked in the cold wind, his head hunched over.
As soon as he got home, he rushed to bring the daffodils from the balcony back. He originally wanted the daffodils to bask in the sun and warm up, but they almost froze to death.
He himself was so cold that he sneezed several times.
Dr. Guan, who had been offline for a long time, finally appeared.
Chef Guan: [Have you eaten yet?]
Chef Guan: [I've been busy all afternoon; I also had a surgery scheduled.]
Seven: [Haven't eaten yet, about to eat.]
Chef Guan: [There are some leftovers in the fridge, or you can order takeout.]
Seven: [I'm going to make egg noodles. /[Laughing emoji]]
Seven: [What is Dr. Guan planning to eat tonight?]
Chef Guan: [Haven't decided yet.]
Seven: [Want some egg noodles I made? /[starry eyes][starry eyes]]
Chef Guan: [It's gotten colder today.]
Chef Guan: [Don't run out.]
Seven: [It's okay, I'll wear something warm and then take a taxi.]
Without giving Dr. Guan a chance to refuse, the capybara simply said, "I'm going to do it now, see you in half an hour."
He didn't know why, but he just wanted to see Dr. Guan.
The cold on the road was a problem that was easy to solve, but while he was chopping scallions, he thought of another serious issue.
The noodles clump together very easily, especially these dried noodles; they'll probably swell up after being soaked for a while.
Um......
After much thought, he finally made a bowl of egg rice noodles and rushed to the hospital, heading straight to the nineteenth floor.
In addition to the scent of cedar, Guan Yue also smelled of disinfectant. Now, he no longer found the smell of disinfectant in the elevator jarring; instead, he felt a sense of familiarity with it.
There's no one here now; the elevator goes straight to the nineteenth floor.
Pei Qi was carrying a lunchbox when a nurse suddenly called out to him as he passed the nurses' station: "Hey, aren't you Dr. Guan's boyfriend?"
My little boyfriend.
Actually, he's not that young.
Pei Qi stopped in her tracks, turned to the side and nodded: "Yes, I've come to bring him dinner."
The young nurse, wearing a mask, smiled broadly: "I've heard them talk about you before, and today I finally see you in person."
"Speaking of...speaking of me?" The capybara's eyes were filled with doubt. He was just a plasterer, what kind of deeds could he possibly have that could spread in the hospital?
“Yes, Manman said that last time we were so grateful that you stood up for Dr. Guan and for us. That family member was so scary at first…” The nurse was still smiling at him. “Dr. Guan is really lucky. But he’s still in bed 68. Why don’t you go to the duty room and wait for him for a bit?”
"Okay, thank you." Pei Qi smiled and continued walking forward.
I felt really refreshed after being praised.
The capybara was in a very cheerful mood and waited in the duty room for a few minutes.
I heard what sounded like footsteps outside in the corridor.
He got up from the small stool, opened the door, and poked his head out to greet Dr. Guan.
Guan Yue was strolling over from the other side of the corridor.
The white coat he was wearing was neatly buttoned up, but the man's legs were so long, and his shoulders were so broad and his waist so narrow, that he managed to make the white coat look like a trench coat.
His face was completely covered by a mask, but he still gave off a very handsome vibe.
Even the facial features are not fully visible.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor: "Dr. Guan..."
A young man caught up from behind.
Guan Yue was almost at the door of the duty room and had already seen the capybara peeking out with half its head.
He really wanted to rush into the duty room, but he had no choice but to stop when he was called back.
The young man behind him stepped forward.
They are the family members of the patient in bed 68.
Guan Yue: "What's wrong? Is your dad feeling unwell again?"
"No, no." The young man shook his head, then chuckled shyly. "I wanted to ask..."
Guan Yue: "What?"
Young man: "Could I add Dr. Guan on WeChat?"
The two of them were very close to the duty room, and the ward was very quiet, so Pei Xi, who was standing by the door, heard everything.
Guan Yue's gaze passed over the young man in front of him and slowly fell on the half-head that was sticking out of the doorway.
Pei Xi's heart skipped a beat when he was looked at like that.
Well, my heart was already racing when that young man asked Dr. Guan for his WeChat.
Will Dr. Guan agree?
What did that young man want to do with the doctor?
The little capybara clung to the doorframe, pursing its lips, its round eyes meeting the gaze of the man not far away.
Seeing that the man remained silent, the young man with his back to Pei Qi asked again, "Has Dr. Guan had dinner yet? How about I treat Dr. Guan to dinner?"
Don't agree.
His rice noodles will become mushy and make him cry.
