Chapter 63 "Okay, baby."...
Pei Qigang placed the durian pastry into his own plate.
The man's words filtered through her ears, and her hands paused.
My scalp felt numb, like it was about to split open.
He suddenly turned his head and looked around.
Thank goodness... thank goodness that waiter has already gone far away.
This provided a slight, temporary relief to my persistent numbness in my head, but it wasn't much better...
Why would he say he wanted to eat durian pastries at a time like that...?
The man opposite me asked seriously, "Why aren't you eating?"
Pei Xi: "..."
The little capybara sheepishly crushed a small piece of durian pastry with its fork.
It's very crispy at first, then melts in your mouth. It's not too sweet, and the durian flavor isn't overpowering.
It was actually very delicious, but his attention wasn't on it right now.
"How...how did I bring this up?"
Still very curious, I blurted out the question.
Guan Yue had been looking at him, and now his eyes, hidden behind those new glasses, seemed even darker: "Back then, you pushed me and told me not to eat."
Then I asked you, "If you don't eat this, what will you eat?"
"You said you wanted to eat durian pastries, that durian pastries are delicious..."
"That's enough! Stop...stop talking." Pei Qi had almost buried her head under the table.
Why did he ask... Dr. Guan too...?
Why do you have to explain it so clearly?!
“However, Qiqi…” The man’s face was full of undisguised smiles, his eyebrows relaxed: “I think the durian pastry is not as good as what I ate last night.”
It's simply incomparable.
Pei Xi: "..."
Okay, okay, stop talking!
He didn't want to reply, but he couldn't really hide under the table.
I could only eat my durian pastry in silence.
The blush on her face deepened as she ate, as if she had been drinking.
The common problem with these stylish restaurants is that the food is served very slowly and the portions are very small.
Even though Guan Yue had pre-ordered the dishes, the speed of serving the food didn't increase much.
However, it still tastes very good.
Especially the tomato and beef soup, which the capybara almost finished completely.
Guan Yue: "Would you like to order another one?"
Pei Qi shook her head: "No need, we still have grilled prawns, mussels... and..."
The capybara lowered its voice considerably and muttered to the man, "If we order another one now, I'm afraid we won't get our food until nine o'clock tonight..."
The little capybara pouted and made a very expressive face as it pursed its lips again.
It makes you want to kiss it.
The man's eyes flickered: "Okay, learn your lesson, next time we'll eat at a place where the food comes out quickly."
The little capybara nodded in agreement.
Compared to French restaurants like these, he would rather, without any ambition, have the Lanzhou ramen stall near his workplace.
The romantic meal lasted until almost 9 p.m. before the two of them finally left the restaurant.
Pei Xi hadn't forgotten the particularly beautiful bouquet of ice-blue flowers, and holding the flowers, she followed the man to the car.
After getting into the car, Pei Xi still held the flowers, looking down at the shape of each rose, and reached out to touch the fragrant flower heart.
Guan Yue paused as he was about to fasten his seatbelt, then glanced at the capybara that was adoring the flower: "You like it that much?"
"Yes, this blue is especially beautiful!" The little capybara nodded its head, affirming strongly, "Dr. Guan made a really good choice."
"Like this." The man's lips curled up even more, a hint of nonchalance in his eyes. "Then, Qiqi, give me a kiss."
Pei Xi's neck stiffened instantly.
What exactly happened to Dr. Guan...?
Maybe he should just pretend he didn't hear it...
The little capybara thought to itself, selectively deaf, and continued to look down at the roses.
The man pretended not to understand body language and suddenly moved closer.
The little capybara nimbly dodged to the side: "Hey, don't step on my flowers."
Guan Yue: "Can I kiss flowers as long as they're not crushed?"
Pei Xi: "..."
He really felt that the doctor in front of him, who was even more clingy than maltose, was a complete stranger.
Guan Yue stared intently at the young man, his brown eyes slightly brightening.
Pei Xi: "Why do you have to kiss me?"
Guan Yue: "I like kissing you."
Pei Xi: "..."
How is he supposed to respond to that...?
The black sedan sped along the avenue. In the night, He City was brightly lit, and starlight shone through the clear windshield.
The warm yellow streetlights shone on Pei Qi's face, which was flushed with pink.
There are still lip lines at the corners of her lips that don't belong to her.
His flowers were still a bit crushed.
The young man gently stroked the petals with a touch of tenderness.
Guan Yue still had a satisfied smile on his lips. He caught a glimpse of the capybara's little movements out of the corner of his eye and said, "I'll buy you another one tomorrow."
Pei Xi shook her head: "No need, this can stay in water for a few more days. When I get home, I'll go find an empty vase."
Guan Yue: "How can you be so thrifty, Qiqi?"
Pei Qi: "...Don't call me that..."
Every time I call him that, my ears burn for a while.
Throughout his life, except when he was very young, almost no one has ever called him that. The reduplicated words really give me goosebumps.
"Don't you like it? What should we call it then?" Guan Yue stopped the car at the red light that had just come on, then turned his face slightly. "Baby?"
Pei Xi: "..."
"don't want!"
Guan Yue: "Why?"
Why are there so many whys!
Pei Xi didn't dare to look up, and pursed her moist lips: "Watch the road while driving..."
Guan Yue: "Okay, baby."
Pei Xi: "..."
He stopped talking.
On the way, the man said something else, but the little capybara tilted its head and ignored him.
I don't know if she's asleep.
Just as I arrived at the apartment gate, before even turning into the parking lot, a Bluetooth notification popped up on the screen.
It was a call from the hospital.
The man frowned slightly and tapped to answer the phone: "Hello, what's up?"
The voice on the phone sounded a little hurried: "Dr. Guan, the emergency room has received several multi-vehicle collisions, requiring emergency surgery. Can you get here in time?"
Guan Yue: "Okay, I'll be there in about twenty minutes."
"Okay, okay."
The phone hung up with a "beep."
Guan Yue also glanced at the young man in the passenger seat at this moment.
Pei Xi wasn't asleep either, so of course she heard the conversation.
He turned around, and the flowers on his lap moved slightly. "Then you should go ahead, I'll get off here."
A very well-behaved capybara.
Guan Yue lowered his eyes, his tone tinged with apology: "I'm sorry, this kind of thing always happens."
“These things can’t be controlled, why apologize? Dr. Guan, hurry up and go, saving lives is the priority.” Pei Qi got out of the car quickly, afraid of delaying the man. “I’m going up now, be careful on the road.”
The man's eyelids fluttered slightly, and he pursed his lips: "Okay."
He watched Pei Qi close the car door and walk into the apartment building before turning the car around and leaving.
The little capybara, clutching a handful of shattered blue ice, strolled under the moonlight.
Suddenly, Dr. Guan's words echoed in my ears again: "Because I love you every day."
The blue roses under the moonlight have an added touch of tranquility and dreaminess.
The little capybara's ears were slightly hot, until he took the bouquet out and put it into a glass vase filled with ice water.
Only when the fingers touch the ice water does it have a slight cooling effect.
But after the temperature dropped and I calmed down, my brain started working again.
Then I remembered many other things.
For example, Dr. Guan just said.
"I like kissing you."
For example, his lips have been kissed so much these past few days that they're practically raw.
And it's not just the mouth...
Then she invited him on a date and sent him flowers...
She even called him so intimately...
The little capybara's eyes were misty as it looked at the roses in the glass vase, its hands supporting its chin.
Think about it carefully.
Does Dr. Guan like him?
If you don't like it, there's no need to do these things, right?
Are they dating now?
It doesn't seem so.
Shouldn't you confess your feelings first when you're in a relationship?
But it seems they're already married now.
Wow.
The steps were so messy, they were giving him a headache.
I don't want to think about it anymore.
He looked up at the simple clock on the wall.
It's almost 10:30.
The quiet apartment stands in stark contrast to the noisy hospital.
Traffic accidents frequently occur at the intersections and ring roads in Heshi, and tonight's incident is a multi-vehicle collision.
The emergency room was nearly full of patients.
After Guan Yue put on his white coat at the hospital, he didn't stop for a moment.
After completing the assessment with other doctors and speaking with the family, the critically injured patient was quickly taken to the operating room.
In the early hours of the morning, the operating room was packed with family members.
The electronic clock in the corridor showed the time ticking away, minute by minute.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
Pei Xi then woke up.
Because that phrase keeps inexplicably popping into my head.
"Because love you everyday."
And for some reason, he always felt that the bed in the bedroom had become very big, and he felt uneasy when sleeping.
I woke up twice during the process.
Both times, he glanced at the messages on his phone.
He left a message for Guan Yue before going to bed, asking him to send him a message when he was done with his work, no matter how late it was.
It's already 6:30 in the morning.
Dr. Guan hasn't replied to the message yet.
Are you busy until this late?
I remember that when men used to work overtime or go to the emergency room, they would usually finish their work by the early hours of the morning.
Did I spend the whole night working?
He hesitated whether to send another message.
Or... he should go and cook some porridge first, so that Dr. Guan can have something hot to eat when he comes back.
Um......
So the capybara got up at seven o'clock on the weekend morning to cook porridge.
I was thinking of making congee with preserved egg and lean pork today, and I happened to have the ingredients in the fridge.
He had just soaked the rice in water when he heard a sound coming from the entrance hall.
Pei Qi suddenly let go of the pot's inner pot and ran out of the kitchen.
Guan Yue was standing in the entryway changing his shoes.
"You're back! Would you like some porridge before you rest?"
The man straightened up, his face etched with fatigue, his eyes red, but he still mustered his strength to appear energetic: "Why so early?"
The capybara, wearing a checkered apron, ran up to him and said, "Your eyes are bloodshot. Have you been busy all this time?"
"Yeah, I was injured in a multi-vehicle collision, so I was really busy. Someone came to relieve me, which is why I was able to come back." As the man spoke, he suddenly lowered his neck and rested his forehead on the capybara's shoulder. "My phone was dead too. Did you text me?"
Pei Qi was a little unsteady on his feet when leaned against, but he quickly regained his balance and stretched out his ankles for Dr. Guan to lean on: "Yes, I saw you didn't reply, so I thought you must be busy."
The man kept his head down, his voice muffled: "Before, when I finished a day of surgery, I wouldn't have any messages from you on my phone."
The kind of voice that sounds very aggrieved.
Although he knew he shouldn't argue with Dr. Guan when she was exhausted.
but......
Her mouth moved faster than her brain, and she acted first: "You were the one who told me not to bother you while you're at work..."
