Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 505 Please Guide Me for the Rest of My Life (11)

So when Xu Qing got home, he was in a good mood and opened a bottle of wine to drink alone.

"Host, I think you're just making excuses for drinking."

Xu Qing denied it: "How could that be? I was just happy."

"If you could take your eyes off the wine, I would believe you."

"Shh, don't ruin the mood."

Xiao Qi was forced to quiet down, feeling wronged, and could only hold back her words.

Xu Qing gazed at the night view, taking sips of wine from time to time.

At night, the operating room door opened from the inside, and Gu Wei took off his mask and walked out, squatting wearily against the wall.

"Da, da, da~"

In the quiet corridor, the footsteps grew clearer and clearer, approaching from the end of the corridor.

Gu Wei looked up and met a smiling face.

He stood up, a smile appearing on his tired face: "Why are you here at this time?"

Xu Qing raised her hand, waved the insulated lunchbox in her hand, and said with a smile, "I thought you were in dire need of replenishing your funds, so I came."

"You've come just in time. Come with me." Gu Wei wanted to take her hand, but then remembered that he had just had surgery and the wound hadn't been disinfected yet, so he could only put his hand down and have someone follow him.

In the lounge, Xu Qing opened the lunchbox, took out the food, and arranged it. There was a medicinal steamed chicken and several side dishes.

"Let's just have something casual to eat tonight and see what we have."

Gu Wei had already taken off his surgical gown and was wearing a white coat. He had just washed and disinfected his hands and sat down.

"Did you do these?"

Xu Qing sat down, propped his head up with his hand, and said with a merciless laugh, "What are you dreaming of? You think I, a CEO, would cook for you?"

Gu Wei asked casually, smiling as he replied, "Have you eaten yet?"

"I came here because I wanted to share my late-night snack with you."

Gu Wei ate a few bites of food, then suddenly felt a little apologetic: "I'm on duty tonight and can't leave whenever I want, so I might not have time to take you home later."

Xu Qing said lazily, "The driver is waiting for me downstairs, you don't need to take me."

Before she arrived, while having a late-night snack, she heard from Xiao Qi that Gu Wei was still painstakingly performing surgery on people.

I couldn't help but imagine how pitiful he looked, which is why I decided to make the trip to bring him warmth.

Hearing this, Gu Wei felt a little relieved: "By the way, can you leave the arrangements for your dinner tomorrow to me?"

In the past two days, he has found a house and moved out of his home.

I originally wanted to be closer to her, but the villa community that Xu Qing has been frequenting lately doesn't have any apartments for rent.

Since they got together, he hasn't cooked for her yet, let her taste his cooking.

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow and chuckled: "You want to steal our housekeeper's job?"

"I wouldn't dare do that, after all, Auntie is already a veteran. I just wanted to make an appointment with you for tomorrow night," Gu Wei said with a smile.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Although I can't see Dr. Gu working with a scalpel, I imagine he'd be quite good at cooking."

You'll see it tomorrow night.

After finishing his meal, Gu Wei took the bowls to wash them clean and then packed them all away.

"I'll go down with you, see you to your car, and then come back."

Xu Qing had no objection and stood up to leave, but just as he was about to turn around, he was pushed against the wall.

Her vision suddenly darkened, a shadow fell over her, and a warm hand lifted her chin. Just as Gu Wei lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Xu Qing pulled the man and changed his position. Before he could react, she hooked her arm around his white coat collar, forcing him to lower his head. Then she slightly raised her head and kissed him, seizing the initiative.

A smile flashed in Gu Wei's eyes as he tried to take the lead, but his lack of skill meant he found himself being led by Xu Qing.

After a while, Xu Qing smiled and released the person who was breathing slightly unsteadily, and casually wiped his lips with her finger.

Hearing Gu Wei's breathing become noticeably heavier, and noticing the restraint and danger in his eyes as he looked at her, he finally said with some regret, "Tonight is not the right time."

"Dr. Gu, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say it so openly?"

Xu Qing spoke with a serious expression, but his hands were anything but honest; they had already slipped inside his white coat, but Gu Wei caught them in time.

He gritted his teeth, realizing he couldn't stay there any longer: "Let's go, I'll take you."

Xu Qing calmly withdrew her hand, glanced at him, and smiled meaningfully, saying, "Dr. Gu, are you sure you can handle it? Don't we need to wait any longer?"

Gu Wei took a deep breath and slowly calmed down before taking her hand to open the door: "I can."

Faced with her piercing gaze, he felt helpless and couldn't do anything about it for the time being.

The two walked hand in hand to the elevator, and Xu Qing also put away his playful expression.

After taking the elevator to the first floor, they exchanged a few words before reluctantly parting ways.

Gu Wei watched the car drive away, then turned around and went back to take the elevator.

The next day at noon, Shen Xinru came to my house for lunch, hoping to overhear some unspeakable things between couples to enjoy with her meal:

"Qingqing, tell me quickly, how far have things progressed between you and Dr. Gu?"

Xu Qing did not answer her; she had no intention of explaining things to her or telling her own story.

Shen Xinru boldly guessed, looking at her with a lecherous grin and saying, "Are you at half-base or home run right now?!" Her eyes grew brighter as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing glanced at her sideways and said, "I think you look especially like..." She then stopped.

"like what?"

"Like a person."

"I am a human being."

"Oh!"

"..."

Caught off guard by her words, Shen Xinru said awkwardly, "Okay, I won't ask."

"Don't you have something to do this afternoon?"

"Oh, right, I have to go to the studio today. I'll have to go now."

After she finished speaking, she picked up her bag, walked out the door without looking back, and ran very fast.

Xu Qing found her cowardly appearance somewhat cute and funny.

I checked my phone. It was only 2 a.m., and Gu Wei had been on duty last night. He should still be catching up on sleep.

She stood up and went upstairs, intending to take a nap.

Xu Qing wandered around the room casually, looked at the house that Gu Wei had just moved into, and walked to the kitchen.

She leaned against the island counter, watching the busy people: "Are you sure you don't need my help?"

"I can do it." Gu Wei didn't stop what he was doing, and looked up at her.

Xu Qing didn't force him, and just watched him skillfully chop the ingredients with a knife.

"His knife skills are very proficient. It seems that Dr. Gu is very good at anything involving a knife."

Gu Wei chuckled: "I actually want to try using a scalpel to cut vegetables; I feel it would be more convenient."

"Your ideas as the chief surgeon are indeed different from those of ordinary people."

"you do not mind?"

"If you want, you can give it a try?" Xu Qing raised an eyebrow. It wasn't like she was using a surgical knife; what was she afraid of?

Seeing that she really didn't mind, Gu Wei actually planned to buy a set of scalpels to cut vegetables and meat.
