"Ah Sui doesn't need watching. He's very smart. We can't let him notice anything unusual."
Mei Yeqin's explanation left Pei Dai feeling slightly disappointed.
But he still followed Mei Yeqin obediently.
Outside, heavy snow fell. Pei Dai saw Mei Yeqin wearing only a coat. His eyes darkened. He tossed the trash in his hand into the trash can and tried to take off his own coat.
Mei Yeqin, standing to the side, looked at him calmly, paused, and held his hand. "You put it on yourself. I'm not cold."
Her refusal ended his plan before it even began.
But Mei Yeqin couldn't resist Pei Dai's stubbornness. The man simply took off his clothes and held them in his hands.
"Pei Dai, you're almost thirty, can you stop being so childish?"
Mei Yeqin coldly took the clothes from his arms, then yanked off her coat and threw it in Pei Dai's face.
This was something Pei Dai often did when he was young.
Mei Yeqin liked to wear loose clothes. She was tall, so even a size up wouldn't matter; she still looked good.
She loved beauty.
So, she preferred being beautiful and freezing to wearing too many clothes, always wanting to wear high heels.
In the past, whenever the weather turned cold, Pei Dai would stubbornly offer his coat to Mei Yeqin. If she refused, he wouldn't wear it.
Like a psychopath.
And when Mei Yeqin scolded him, he still grinned, just like Pei Dai now. He wore women's clothes, and his figure was thin, but after all, for a man, Mei Yeqin's clothes weren't too loose, but they weren't too unflattering either.
Pei Dai, regardless of what others thought, always felt that it suited him.
Now, wrapped in Mei Yeqin's clothes, he even fantasized about holding her hand.
But he didn't do that.
At the entrance of the small hotel, Pei Dai escorted Mei Yeqin inside. There was a large bed.
"Qinqin, you'll just stay here for the night. I saw there were no rooms available nearby because of the snow, so you can just sleep in your clothes."
Pei Dai hung her clothes and swept the bed with his own hands.
He knew she was making do, but he'd searched several hotels and hadn't found anything better than this one.
"Qinqin, I'll be out now. You should rest."
Mei Yeqin sat on the edge of the bed, drowsily looking at the door.
He's leaving?
This realization made Mei Yeqin a little irritated.
"Where are you going?"
Mei Yeqin's words left Pei Dai stunned for a moment, then he replied, "There's only one room left here, Qinqin. I'll just sleep in the car."
"Don't worry about me. I used to sleep in the car on missions, too."
He didn't know if this would be a burden for her, but Pei Dai had to think it through.
Previous roommates had said Pei Dai was meticulous, applying both his studies and his pursuit of Mei Yeqin. Unexpectedly, someone so indifferent to everything else would resort to all sorts of tricks and schemes to pursue Mei Yeqin.
Mei Yeqin narrowed her eyes and looked at Pei Dai.
"Let's squeeze in here."
Since she had said it, Pei Dai naturally had to obey.
Pei Dai stiffly shifted his pace. "Qinqin, why don't you wash up first?"
"This bathroom is relatively clean. I checked. It's all disposable items."
Mei Yeqin nodded, then pushed and open the bathroom door and went in.
Pei Dai, sitting nearby, had forgotten that the glass here was mostly transparent. Fortunately, Mei Yeqin had only washed her face in there.
Pei Dai patted his face. "What are you thinking about!"
His words were heard by Mei Yeqin as she pushed the door open. "What are you talking about?"
Pei Dai's face flushed instantly, and he quickly shook his head, looking frightened. "Qinqin, I'd better go to the car."
After saying this, he hurried away.
Mei Yeqin was left bewildered. The moment he closed the door, the knock rang again.
Mei Yeqin patiently opened the door.
"Qinqin, I forgot my phone. Can you get it for me..."
"Pei Dai, if you need it, come in and get it yourself."
Mei Yeqin's interruption was clearly tinged with displeasure. Pei Dai was stunned for a moment; he had forgotten that Qinqin hated being ordered around.
Just as Pei Dai was about to retrieve his phone from the table, a pair of slender, white hands pressed against his palm.
Mei Yeqin, a surgeon, had incredibly beautiful hands—thin, with distinct joints and not an inch of excess fat.
She stood in front him, her eyes brimming with arrogance as she glared at him.
"Pei Dai, are you angry with me?"
Mei Yeqin, watching Pei Dai hurriedly try to leave, grasped his hand for some unknown reason and asked.
Pei Dai paused, then shook his head.
A wry smile formed in his heart. How could he be angry with her? No matter what happened, he would never be angry with her.
"Then why did you run away?"
Mei Yeqin frowned, a look of obvious displeasure in her eyes.
"I...I."
"What do you mean by you? Don't be so hesitant when talking to me."
Her patience seemed to have worn away, and her displeasure intensified, a deep sense of displeasure permeating her.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and do something wrong."
...
After saying this, Pei Dai felt like he wanted to crawl into a hole. He looked at Mei Yeqin, who was dazed and clearly didn't know what he was saying.
He felt utterly ashamed.
"Something bad?"
"To me?"
She seemed to react incredibly quickly, as if it was the norm no matter what.
Pei Dai nodded.
Then, he was kissed by Mei Yeqin...
Mei Yeqin's sweetness was ultimately only a brief taste.
Pei Dai hugged Mei Yeqin, "Qinqin, this place isn't clean."
His heartbeat was about to burst as he listened to Mei Yeqin's breathing. "Qinqin, don't you blame me?"
Mei Yeqin frowned. "I've thought a lot. May be I'm too conservative and indulged Ah Sui, so things are getting serious now. It wouldn't be a bad thing for you to be a little bolder."
Her voice was clear, her analysis well-reasoned.
"As for medical skills, do you know what kind of rumor there is in the surgery department?"
Pei Dai shook his head, then listened to Mei Yeqin recount the things he'd dedicated his life to, the words he'd come to believe in.
"Our duty is to make the impossible possible. Without innovation in medicine, life would be a tragedy."
Mei Yeqin knew this deeply, yet she remained conservative regarding Jiang Sui's situation.
Why?
Because she was too afraid of losing.
