Chapter 69 "Dr. Guan, let's date..."
Few people call Pei Xi that.
Perhaps it has almost never happened.
Before the little capybara even turned around, its dimples were already visible on its face.
I heard the sound of footsteps stopping.
The shoes crunched on the snow, making a soft, grinding sound.
Pei Qi turned around.
Before me lay a vast expanse of white snow.
Amidst the snow-covered landscape, stood a beauty beyond compare.
As the snowfall intensified, the snowflakes gradually condensed into ice flowers.
Guan Yue, in sight, was wearing a black cashmere coat that was a perfect match for the snowy weather, with a plaid scarf of the same color around her neck.
The little capybara stopped in its tracks, its crescent-shaped eyes seeming to hold only this one person, unable to see anyone else.
No matter how beautiful the snow was, it could no longer drift into his eyes.
“Dr. Guan.” Pei Qi smiled and opened her mouth, finally realizing what had happened, and ran towards the man.
The man was also coming toward him.
"Didn't you say there was a meeting today?" The little capybara tilted its head back, its eyes clearer and brighter than ice crystals.
"It's snowing." Guan Yue lowered his eyes, gazing intently into the little capybara's almond-shaped eyes.
"Yes, it's snowing." The young man's dimples deepened, as if two spoonfuls of sweet honey were floating in them. "The first snow."
The capybara wasn't dressed too warmly today; it wore a dark V-neck cardigan over a fine-checked dark blue shirt, and then layered a turtleneck underneath.
It looks thin.
"Are you cold?" The man took off his scarf and put it around the capybara's neck in a smooth, effortless motion.
When Pei Xi realized what was happening, her neck and chin were already wrapped in a comfortable, skin-friendly scarf.
"Hmm, it's alright." He continued to stare at Dr. Guan.
Through the glasses, a few snowflakes clung to the man's eyelashes.
Then, she couldn't help but smile, her dimples deepening.
Guan Yue: "Is there something on my face?"
Pei Xi: "There's a little snow."
The man moved his face closer to him: "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Pei, to help me with this."
"Um." Although he was a little embarrassed, he still blurted out, "Can I kiss it? I kind of want to kiss it."
Guan Yue was stunned for a moment.
The capybara had already gently removed his glasses, and its lips had already landed on his eyelashes.
A warm and soft touch.
It seemed she wasn't kissing his eyelashes.
It was his heart.
The snowflakes, which had gradually melted into transparent particles, vanished completely after being gently touched by warm lips.
Pei Xi quickly pulled her head back.
I almost forgot I'm near my workplace!
Although there's no one on the street right now.
But it's still so embarrassing.
He quickly grabbed the man's large hand and ran forward, saying, "Let's go!"
Guan Yue was still immersed in the tender kiss when he was pulled forward a few steps: "My car is behind."
"Oh, oh, oh." A blush crept onto the little capybara's face, and she shyly pulled the man back.
Guan Yue looked at the capybara in front of him, holding his hand.
In the midst of falling snowflakes.
There was a pair of hands tightly clasped together.
The two walked to the car, and Pei Qi admired the snow scene a few more times.
"This is the first time I've felt that snow can be so romantic." He reached out and caught a few ice crystals. "When I was in the north, I only thought that snow was cold and that I had to shovel snow."
The man stood beside him, holding the young man's hand tightly by his side, as if silently telling the capybara what he had said before.
It won't be this cold anymore.
The man slowly began to speak: "I've heard from others that the first snow has a lot of meaning."
“Yes, they say you should watch the first snow with your loved one, and that if you watch it with someone you like, you'll end up together.” Pei Qi looked at the snowflakes melting in her palm. “It’s just so romantic.”
“Yes, so let’s watch it together.” The man lowered his eyes and stared at the capybara.
Pei Qi also turned his gaze.
Their eyes met again.
The little capybara's eyes flickered for a moment, then returned slightly.
Guan Yue noticed this and immediately said, "It's okay if it's not in the first snow."
There will also be early spring, early summer, and early autumn; there are so many days in a year.
No matter what day it is.
Both are fine.
No matter what day it is.
As long as it exists.
That's fine.
When I got on the bus, it was still snowing.
Pei Qi felt that her left hand, which had just been held, was still warm and had a faint scent of cedar.
He glanced sideways; Dr. Guan beside him was driving, one hand on the steering wheel.
The wind and snow continued to fall outside the windshield.
The car was warm and cozy inside.
An adjective suddenly popped into my head.
happiness.
But will happiness last forever?
Won't they get off the bus?
Dr. Guan now says she likes him.
Will I always like him?
Will it last forever?
Will I one day leave like so many others?
He's already feeling reluctant to part with it.
Thinking of this, a touch of deep blue appeared in the little capybara's almond-shaped eyes.
The two of them hadn't gone home for dinner together in a long time.
Guan Yue even allowed him to help out in the kitchen, which was quite unusual for him.
Right now, the capybara is helping to cut potato chunks.
He had seen a video before showing how to cut rolling cutter pieces, and he thought it was quite simple when he watched it.
Why... does it feel so awkward when I "roll" by myself?
The man next to him warned, "Be careful, don't cut your hand."
“Mhm,” Pei Qi said, perking up.
He really can't cut his hand; he still has to apply the plaster tomorrow.
He cut carefully and finally finished cutting both large potatoes, and the size was fairly uniform.
Suddenly, a delicate safety buckle pendant appeared before them.
Judging from its color, it is a top-quality mutton fat white jade.
The surface grease is as smooth and white as mutton fat.
"Hmm..." Pei Qi knew a little about jade, because his master loved to study it, so he had learned a bit from him. "Is it for me?"
This quality isn't just about the price; it's about how rare it is to find.
"Hmm, a potato-peeling reward." The man stood behind him, his tone light. "Would you like to bring this along?"
The man slowly slipped the jade pendant, tied with a black cord, onto the man's head, adjusting the cord's length: "Turn around and take a look."
The little capybara obediently turned around.
The rope was the perfect length, and the white jade complemented her perfectly.
"It's beautiful." Pei Xi couldn't help but reach out and touch it. It felt wonderful, smooth and warm to the touch.
"Hmm." The man also looked down, admiring the clothes. "If it looks good, wear it."
He specially asked someone to find it in southern Xinjiang, but since the capybara liked it, it wasn't too much trouble.
Pei Xi really liked it; he even held it and admired it for a long time before going to bed that night.
Dr. Guan rarely had a day off from overtime, and she had been so tired lately that she fell asleep very quickly.
Behind her was a man's warm embrace, and in his palm was a piece of smooth, white jade.
Pei Qi blinked, feeling that... it was always Dr. Guan who was giving him things.
Counting the days, Dr. Guan's birthday is coming soon.
Hmm... he needs to prepare properly too.
My mind was racing with all sorts of ideas for celebrating my birthday, including gifts. As I kept thinking, my consciousness began to fade.
It snowed all night, and for several days in a row, the temperature plummeted, and the city was covered in snow.
Pei Xi poured himself a cup of hot water and stood in the tea room looking out at the snow.
Today, the sun finally came out a little, and the snow is melting quickly.
The capybara blew on the hot water in its cup, took a sip, and then picked up its phone.
Today is already the 23rd.
Dr. Guan's birthday is in three days.
But he hasn't figured out how to arrange it yet.
Hey hey hey.
Just as I was worrying, Luo Zhaoyun's message suddenly popped up.
Aunt Luo: [Xiao Qi, are you busy?]
Seven: [No.]
Seven: [What's wrong with Aunt Luo?]
Aunt Luo: [It's alright, it's alright.]
Aunt Luo: [I just wanted to ask, did you and A-Yue get your marriage certificate in June?]
Seven: [Yes, what's wrong?]
Aunt Luo: [We didn't know at the time, so we wanted to give you a belated marriage certificate gift.]
Aunt Luo: [Your uncle is writing a greeting card.]
Aunt Luo: [But I don't know your marriage registration date, I'm stumped. /[smiley face]]
Date of obtaining the marriage certificate.
Not only was Uncle Guan stumped, but the little capybara was also stumped.
Seven: [Let me see.]
He scrolled through the chat history and searched for a while before finding the specific date.
Seven: [It's June 18th.]
Seven: [No need for any gifts.]
Seven: [Aunties, you're too kind.]
Aunt Luo: [Of course we need it.]
Aunt Luo: [We'll bring them over in a couple of days.]
Seven: [Blushing emoji]
After finishing his chat with the woman, the capybara put down his phone.
I took another sip of hot tea.
The tea will be at the perfect temperature to drink.
No... wait a minute.
He felt something was off.
June 18th?
0618?
Dr. Guan's lock screen password...?
0618.
It's not an e-commerce extravaganza.
It's not Dr. Guan's birthday.
It was not the birthday of any ex-girlfriend whom Dr. Guan still couldn't forget.
Rather, it is.
Their wedding anniversary.
My heart skipped a beat at that moment; a breeze blew past the window.
The shadows of the trees swayed and flickered in the sunlight.
And it wasn't just the shadows of the trees that were swaying.
so.
So, so long ago.
Dr. Guan used their wedding anniversary as the password.
He only found out today because someone asked him about it.
What day is June 18th?
The snowflakes melted in the sunlight.
The true feelings buried beneath the snow-capped peaks are also quietly growing.
The third day after the first snow.
Pei Xi made a decision.
He should really like Guan Yue.
Completely unaware that someone is about to be deeply loved, this person has just finished working overtime and has been notified that they have to go on a business trip to southern Beijing overnight.
We just got home. The capybara is taking a bath.
He then hurriedly began packing his luggage.
When Pei Xi came out of the bathroom, she saw the man carrying a suitcase.
A hint of panic welled up in his eyes.
In my memory, the image of Jiang Shulin leaving with her luggage suddenly appeared and overlapped at this moment.
"Where...where are you going?" Pei Qi hesitated to ask. He had just prepared himself to truly love someone, and no matter what, he wanted to show his true feelings first.
"Can you stay? I have something to tell you."
Guan Yue put down his luggage. He noticed that the capybara looked a little off and walked over to ask, "What's wrong?"
"where are you going?"
The little capybara's glasses were fogged up, and its eyelashes were damp with moisture: "Don't go."
"I'm going on a business trip. My flight is at nine o'clock tonight. I'm in a rush, so I didn't have time to tell you earlier," Guan Yue explained. "I'm not going anywhere. I'll be back in a few days."
On business trip.
It's just a business trip.
The tension that had been building up in my chest finally eased.
It almost snapped.
The capybara rested its head against his chest and breathed heavily.
I feel incredibly at peace at this moment.
The man's dry palm stroked his hair: "What's wrong?"
The capybara nuzzled against his chest: "When will you be back?"
Guan Yue: "Not sure, maybe a week."
A few seconds later.
“Okay.” Pei Qi raised her head and looked into the man’s eyes. “Then let’s start dating when you come back.”
