He didn’t get that feeling from a trench coat.

By the time he returned to the apartment, it was almost nine o’clock.

Fortunately, tomorrow was Saturday, he didn’t need to get up early, and he could take his time packing.

He had just opened his suitcase when his phone rang.

It was a message from the appendectomy doctor.

G: [Home?]

Seven: [Yes.]

G: [Tell me next time.]

Seven: [Won’t that disturb Doctor Guan too much?]

He always kept in mind the appendectomy doctor’s instructions not to disturb him during work.

G: [Necessary information won’t.]

Seven: [Okay. /[OK hand gesture] ]

But what exactly constituted necessary information, the young man wasn’t sure.

It’s better to send less, he thought.

He didn’t bring much, and some things he simply left in the suitcase without taking them out.

By the time he went to bed, it was almost midnight.

His biological clock still woke him up at around seven o’clock, and the sky outside was already bright.

Pei Qi yawned, reached out to turn off the bedside lamp, and prepared to turn over and sleep again.

But he couldn’t fall asleep.

So he got up to make breakfast.

He decided to make some porridge too; he had eaten too many buns yesterday.

He didn’t know when Doctor Guan would get off work, and he didn’t want to disturb him by sending messages, so he decided to make a little more breakfast. It’s better to have some than none.

He had just soaked the rice in water when he heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

The capybara heard it, put down the rice cooker liner, and poked half his head out of the kitchen: “I’m making porridge, do you want some?”

“Okay.” The man stood at the entrance, put on his slippers, and slowly walked in, “After breakfast, Teacher Pei, do you have any plans?”

“No.” The capybara poked his whole head out of the kitchen.

Guan Yue: “Then shall we go out together?”

Pei Qi: “Go out to do what?”

Guan Yue: “To become more familiar.”

Pei Qi: “…Huh?”

Guan Yue: “Teacher Pei, didn’t you say we’re not familiar enough?”

The capybara asked sincerely: “Why would going out make us more familiar?”

Guan Yue: “…”

“Go out to play, together.”

Pei Qi’s brain was loading.

He understood. The key wasn’t “going out,” but “together.”

“Okay, but doesn’t Doctor Guan need to go back for a nap?” The young man replied after a few seconds.

Guan Yue: “No, I slept in the second half of the night.”

By this time, the man had already walked to the young man’s side.

The young man felt his nose enveloped by a cedar scent, very faint, very pleasant: “Mm, okay, where are we going then?”

“Where do you want to go?” The man leaned closer half a step.

The young man felt like he was in the way, quickly turning back to start rinsing the rice: “Anywhere is fine.”

“Where does Teacher Pei usually go on weekends?”

The clear water from the tap flowed over the rice. Pei Qi rinsed it twice, thinking seriously about where he usually went.

He was a homebody and rarely scheduled activities for himself on weekends.

Most of his activities involved lying down and reading.

“Oh, sometimes I go to my senior brother’s house to play games,” he finally thought of an entertainment activity.

“Senior brother?” The man leaned against the glass display cabinet in the kitchen, his excellent long legs casually crossed.

The half-open window in the kitchen let in the morning light, falling on Guan Yue’s side face, his eyelashes flickering slightly.

“The senior brother from last time?”

Yes, he still remembered that on the day they got their marriage certificate, the capybara went to another man’s house for dinner.

Pei Qi put the rinsed rice into the rice cooker and pressed the porridge button: “It’s a different senior brother. His house has VR, you can play many games.”

Guan Yue: “How many senior brothers do you have?”

“Let me count,” Pei Qi raised his eyes, seriously counting.

Guan Yue: “…”

Lao Jiang was a pure craftsman and was happy to pass on his skills to young people. As long as they were sincere in wanting to learn, he would accept them as apprentices. The old man was a master in ancient book restoration, so Pei Qi naturally had many senior and junior brothers.

It wasn’t that many, though. Few young people had entered the industry in the past two years, and none were the same age as Pei Qi.

He was the only one.

In recent years, quite a few had changed careers.

“Do you usually play with them?” The man closed his eyes and changed the question.

He didn’t want to hear how many there were anymore.

He even regretted asking this question.

“Sometimes,” Pei Qi opened the refrigerator and found that there weren’t many ingredients left, only a few eggs, “Shall we go to the supermarket later?”

“Okay.” The man replied, his gaze slowly falling on the young man who was facing away from him.

The capybara was wearing a thin light brown cardigan over a simple round-neck T-shirt.

His slender neck, delicate collarbone, and the skin on his knuckles were moist and lustrous, like jade.

Pei Qi felt a little itchy on his neck and couldn’t help but scratch it.

It was probably the season when mosquitoes were starting to appear.

After finishing the porridge, it was almost nine o’clock.

The location of Yujiang Mansion was valuable. There were not only subway and bus stations downstairs, but also a supermarket and a park.

Very convenient.

The two of them went downstairs together and went to the supermarket.

It was a large chain supermarket, so large that Pei Qi felt he could wander around for half a day.

He happened to be running low on shampoo and laundry detergent.

The two of them started from the daily necessities section.

Pei Qi was dazzled by the rows of shelves.

“Are you buying shampoo?” The man asked.

The young man nodded, looking for his usual tea-scented one: “Mm, almost out.”

Guan Yue: “There are many, in the cabinet.”

“Those are yours,” Pei Qi answered naturally.

He didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said.

Guan Yue: “…”

“Mine, can’t I use them?”

“I think it’s better to use them separately,” The young man squatted down and finally saw his usual plum-scented one on the bottom shelf.

This brand’s plum scent wasn’t sweet, but a pure plum fragrance, the sweetness was very faint, like standing under a tree laden with plums and snowflakes. Pei Qi particularly liked it.

But it probably wasn’t popular with the masses, and it was “hidden” at the bottom.

The man behind him said softly, “I don’t have any infectious diseases, no need to worry about cross-infection.”

Pei Qi picked up two large bottles of shampoo, paused, and smiled, “No, it’s just that I feel like I’m already living in Doctor Guan’s house, so I’ll buy my own daily necessities.”

He put the shampoo into the large shopping cart and pushed it forward: “Doctor Guan, is there anything you want to buy? I’m treating today.”

Pei Qi was used to this “yours is yours, mine is mine” way of thinking. After all, that’s how he and his parents kept accounts, so he didn’t think he and the appendectomy doctor should be any different, even though they were legal partners.

The man caught sight of the faint dimples on the young man’s face, so sweet, as if filled with honey, yet it seemed to be covered with a layer of cold glass.

Visible, but untouchable.

The man lowered his gaze slightly, looking at the shampoo in the shopping cart: “This scent, is it plum?”

“Yes, it smells good, faintly. Have you used it before, Doctor Guan?” Pei Qi turned his head, looking at the man beside him expectantly.

Thinking he had found a fellow connoisseur of niche scents.

Guan Yue: “I’ve smelled it, it’s on you.”

Pei Qi couldn’t help but sniff himself: “Is it? I can’t smell it.”

Guan Yue: “Yes, when I woke up that day, the pillow was full of this scent.”

A very serious tone.

To the point where Pei Qi was confused for a while.

Which day was that?

After thinking for a while, he realized which day the appendectomy doctor was referring to…

His face instantly flushed hot.

“Cough…” Pei Qi coughed tactically and quickly changed the subject, “Let’s… let’s go look over there.”

He didn’t know which area he had pushed the shopping cart to.

Anyway, there were a bunch of bedding in front of him.

Actually, he wanted to buy a new set of bedsheets, warm-colored ones. Although the bedsheets he was currently using were comfortable and skin-friendly, the gray color had a strange coldness.

Lying in it was like lying on an ice bed, without any warmth.

He still preferred warm-colored bedsheets.

“I want to buy a new set of bedsheets, Doctor Guan, do you mind?” He turned to ask the owner of the bed for his opinion.

Guan Yue followed: “Is the current one uncomfortable?”

“It’s my problem, I like warm-colored bedsheets, it feels better to sleep,” Pei Qi scratched his head.

“Okay.” The man agreed.

Pei Qi liked yellow, and quickly chose a set of mustard yellow bedsheets: “This one.”

Guan Yue: “Pick a set for me too, I haven’t been sleeping well lately.”

Pei Qi: “Mm… warm-colored?”

“Mm.” The man nodded, “Or the same as yours.”

Pei Qi thought that if they were the same, he might not be able to tell them apart after washing them, and was thinking about choosing a different style.

But the man beside him had already put both sets of bedsheets into the shopping cart.

The young man could only give up.

They wandered around the daily necessities section for a long time, and as they pushed the shopping cart, Guan Yue ended up pushing it, and Pei Qi wandered ahead.

They wandered to the food and fresh produce section.

They added basic milk, eggs, and some vegetables and beef.

The shopping cart was almost full.

Guan Yue: “Any fruit you want to eat?”

Pei Qi was a low-desire person, he didn’t have any particular favorite foods.

Except for oranges.

Except for bright yellow oranges.
