Chapter 19 Chapter 19 [Thank you for your trust.]...
I can't quite put my finger on the scent, but it's a light mix of sandalwood and musk, with a hint of lily of the valley. It's very pleasant. It's a woody fragrance, warm, calming, and naturally clean.
Lin Qianyuan moved closer and sniffed again and again, "Really."
"Do you wear perfume?"
The scent of her voice fell on the side of his neck, occasionally rising up to flow slowly down along the side of his ear, warm and gentle. Pei Lanqing suddenly stopped and closed his eyes. He regretted letting her go to the hospital.
Lin Qianyuan noticed his face and neck were red, so she withdrew her hand. "I'm sorry, Teacher Pei. I didn't mean to say that."
"Is this considered teasing? But you smell really good."
After saying that, she felt that he seemed to blush even more.
Fearing he would get angry, Lin Qianyuan immediately became quiet, lowering his head and quickly saying, "I won't talk anymore."
Pei Lanqing turned his head away and took a few minutes to calm down before continuing to walk towards the hospital.
Lin Qianyuan did what she said and lay quietly on his back. After a few seconds, she quietly turned her head and looked at him unscrupulously.
Driven by her inner desire for destruction, Lin Qianyuan increasingly felt that such a beautiful head of his should appear on her canvas.
Eyebrows, nose, chin, the Adam's apple and collarbone beneath the sweater. Such a pure aura needs to be destroyed to look good, to be violent, to be dark, like stained with blood.
Lin Qianyuan turned his head, closed his eyes silently, and controlled the growth of this thought.
Pei Lanqing placed the person on a chair in the lobby and went to register alone. He was uneasy about leaving Lin Qianyuan sitting here alone, so he looked back every few steps.
Lin Qianyuan looked at him and smiled at him. Pei Lanqing withdrew his gaze and continued to busy himself with his own things.
Lin Qianyuan turned around and looked around curiously. She had never been here before and had never experienced what it was like to queue in the lobby.
Although Mrs. Lin disliked her, she was good at pretending to be nice.
To outsiders, she was always her daughter and Dean Ji's granddaughter. Identity was the first label strangers attached to each other, and she couldn't escape it. From the moment she was born, her fate had been shattered. She was the result of an unpresentable mistake, yet also a disguised beneficiary. She had the right to despise the filth, but not the right to decisively escape.
They are destined to be inseparable, this is her family affection.
When Pei Lanqing came back, he saw her in a daze. He did not disturb her rashly, but sat quietly beside her.
Lin Qianyuan came back to his senses and asked calmly, "Am I going in alone?"
"Teacher Pei."
Lin Qianyuan added calmly, "I fainted, doctor."
Pei Lanqing was amused by her serious tone. Lin Qianyuan's face was full of seriousness, and he couldn't help but emphasize, "Really, I can't be alone with a doctor."
Hearing this for the first time, Pei Lanqing turned sideways and explained to her with a smile, "They are not the same person."
I will be with you.
He glanced at her ear casually and said, "If you feel it's difficult to communicate, you can pull my sleeve. I will speak for you."
Pei Lanqing smiled and said, "I promise I won't harm your rights."
Lin Qianyuan took a few seconds to read these words, then raised his hand and pulled his sleeve.
Pei Lanqing looked stunned.
Lin Qianyuan loosened his grip and turned away, not looking him in the eye. "I don't like to talk, especially with doctors."
Pei Lanqing put away his surprise, and his brows arched. "Thank you for your trust."
Lin Qianyuan glanced down and said in a very cold tone, "Yeah."
Inside the consultation room, the doctor suggested taking an X-ray to check for fractures. While waiting for the results, Pei Lanqing handed Lin Qianyuan a freshly opened disposable mask.
Lin Qianyuan looked over in confusion, not knowing where it came from.
Pei Lanqing pointed to the machine across from him and explained with a smile, "Put it on. This is a hospital, there are a lot of germs."
Lin Qianyuan lowered his eyes and took it.
She held the mask tightly, kept her eyes down, and then suddenly looked up at him.
Pei Lanqing was thinking about something.
He had always thought that she was underage, but when he registered her age just now, he found out that she was already an adult.
Pei Lanqing had asked what her birthday was, and Lin Qianyuan had replied, "September 9th." In other words, she was only seven months younger than he was.
Realizing that she was looking at him, Pei Lanqing thought she had something to say and involuntarily leaned closer.
Light streamed in from the end of the hospital corridor, outlining the curve of his body as he bent for her. She remained silent, so he turned and met her gaze, his lashes bathed in golden light. Suddenly, thousands of butterflies flew into the silent world, dazzling and gentle.
Lin Qianyuan put on a mask, closed his eyes, pressed his back against the wall, and said nothing, as if he was going to sleep.
Pei Lanqing sat down again, looked up at the screen in the hall, and kept an eye on the changing medical numbers.
Outside the hospital, Uncle Chen squatted by the car and talked to his wife at home on the phone. He explained to her that he probably wouldn't be able to make it home for lunch today.
Seeing Lin Qianyuan coming out, Uncle Chen immediately hung up the phone and planned to ask about the situation. He didn't want to look at Lin Qianyuan again, but he couldn't say the words of concern.
He waited until Lin Qianyuan was supported by Wu Ma into the house before he dared to call out to Pei Lanqing who was about to leave.
Pei Lanqing briefly explained the doctor's diagnosis.
Uncle Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a relieved smile, "It's good that there are no broken bones."
Pei Lanqing felt uncomfortable hearing this. He wasn't one to quibble, but he couldn't help but want to say something. To be more precise, he had been wanting to speak ever since he'd said, "Nothing." But ultimately, he wasn't hers, and he had no standing, so he could only keep silent.
Uncle Chen actually felt quite guilty even without Pei Lanqing saying anything. He sighed. He had been picking up and dropping off Lin Qianyuan for so many years. Although their relationship wasn't particularly deep, it was at least somewhat intimate.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he regretted it. He kept thinking back on his initial reaction, and he even thought Ms. Lin was deliberately picking a fight with the child.
Because she was used to being silent, he was used to thinking that she was fine.
Uncle Chen didn't know how to express his inner thoughts. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him. He scratched his head and muttered, "I'll call my boss right now. She's really good at making soup. I'll ask her to make a bowl for Miss Lin. Maybe that way she'll get better faster."
As he was talking, Uncle Chen took out his cell phone and discussed with the person on the phone what ingredients to buy.
Pei Lanqing turned around, and the alarm on the cell phone in his coat pocket suddenly rang, reminding him that he should take a taxi to the station.
Pei Lan cleared the alarm clock, and the person who had just entered the room also came out at this time, "Why don't you come in?"
Lin Qianyuan bounded over to him. Pei Lanqing frowned and quickly walked over. Lin Qianyuan placed his hand on the arm he had offered and asked again, "Why don't you come in?"
She looked at him with an inquiring look, and Pei Lanqing looked back. They stared at each other for a long time, and he smiled first, "Reading text messages."
"Text message?" Lin Qianyuan went into the living room with him. "Who is it?" she asked naturally.
Pei Lanqing paused. [Fraudulent text message.]
"Oh," Lin Qianyuan sat on the sofa.
Wu Ma came over with an ice pack. Seeing her moving again, she didn't mean to blame her. "Young lady, it's better for you to stay here and don't move." Noticing Pei Lanqing standing nearby, Wu Ma understood and greeted him with a smile, "Teacher Pei, you're here."
Pei Lanqing smiled absentmindedly and nodded.
Aunt Wu handed over the ice pack and looked at Lin Qianyuan. Lin Qianyuan's attention was all on Pei Lanqing, so she followed her gaze and looked over. Intuitively, she felt that the atmosphere was not right, so Aunt Wu put down the ice pack and turned to leave the living room.
Lin Qianyuan picked up the ice pack, half bent over, and reduced the swelling himself.
Pei Lanqing noticed her extremely strenuous movement and walked over silently. He squatted down, took the ice pack from her hand and helped her hold it.
Lin Qianyuan looked down at him, and he was looking down too. The edge of her skirt brushed against the back of his hand, then covered it. Light blue and cold white, Lin Qianyuan suddenly said, "I want to eat ice cream."
Pei Lanqing raised his head when he heard that and met her gaze.
Lin Qianyuan leaned over and asked him with a smile, "What about you?"
Pei Lanqing looked away and saw the A4 paper under the coffee table. He pulled out a piece of paper and wrote in pencil: [It's cold, not suitable for eating these.]
He only had one hand to use, and the A4 paper kept rubbing against the glass table, causing the beautiful handwriting to become crooked. Lin Qianyuan reached out to hold the paper down. Pei Lanqing glanced at her and continued writing: "And you have stomachaches from time to time. Eating will make you feel uncomfortable."
"Okay, then I won't eat."
Lin Qianyuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and she didn't show any frustration at being blocked. Instead, she revealed a happy and good mood. Anyway, she didn't want to tell him this.
Lin Qianyuan looked into his eyes and asked intently, "What were you thinking about just now?"
Her pupils are light in color, and when she looks at others seriously, there is always a special kind of attraction. They are clear and bright, not like a fleeting glance, but also amazing enough.
Pei Lanqing lowered his head and turned the ice pack in a different direction. The water vapor soaked her white socks, and the water droplets on the top rolled down her calves. He wiped them away calmly with his sleeve.
She asked him what he was thinking?
He couldn't explain it specifically.
He seemed to be wondering if he could catch the train, or perhaps he was thankful that he hadn't told Pei Dejun his return time in advance. Things seemed to be developing in an uncontrollable direction, something he hadn't expected, yet he didn't feel rushed or overwhelmed at all.
Pei Lanqing smiled and continued to wipe away the water droplets. [I was wondering if you were feeling cold.]
He'd said it carelessly, and Lin Qianyuan thought he was revisiting her pain. Some things were always awkward to recall afterward, especially since Lin Qianyuan could turn against her at any moment. Even if it was inconvenient to move, she didn't want to stay here in such embarrassment.
Seeing that something was wrong, Pei Lanqing reached out and pulled the person back. Lin Qianyuan glanced at him with a dull expression. Pei Lanqing couldn't help but want to laugh, but he lowered his head, not daring to smile in front of her.
With his brows lowered and his eyes closed, Pei Lanqing said with a serious face: [Does it still hurt?]
Lin Qianyuan said nothing and just stared at him.
Pei Lanqing's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth to explain clearly, "I really want to ask you."
He put down the ice pack, lowered his head to examine her carefully, then raised his eyes and stared at her for a long time. [Does it hurt?]
He only asked because he cared about her. Lin Qianyuan shifted his gaze and lowered his voice, "A little."
Pei Lanqing soothed him, "This is probably normal. You might need to be patient." He stood up and said, "Don't apply it for too long at a time. Wait until later."
Wu Ma came over from the restaurant at the right time. "Teacher Pei, are you leaving?" She tried to stop him. "Have lunch first."
Aunt Wu glanced at Lin Qianyuan casually, and said to Pei Lanqing with a smile: "The meal is ready."
Pei Lanqing wanted to refuse, but Aunt Wu didn't give him the chance. She said a series of words immediately, "I don't know what you like, so I just did something casual."
"Would you like to see it?"
Having said that, Pei Lanqing swallowed the rejection he had anticipated and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Wu Ma politely replied, "It's no trouble, no trouble." After that, she glanced obviously behind him, "That young lady..."
Pei Lanqing smiled and said, "I'll go help her."
"Okay, okay," Wu Ma agreed, and returned to prepare the dishes. While serving the dishes, she would occasionally glance into the living room, then lower her head and smile.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Wu Ma: “I got it!”
I was preparing for a trip and was so anxious waiting for the bus that I couldn't sleep. I heard a faint breathing sound while typing. I immediately sat up and asked my friend, "Are you asleep?!"
She murmured in confusion. I said, “!” Such a good sleep quality would be the envy of anyone with sleep disorders!
