An Yao’S Observation Diary Chapter 24
byTuesday, September 2nd sunny
Today I was rarely distracted, holding the pen and unconsciously drawing circles on the paper.The ink on the paper was piled up layer after layer, faintly seeping onto the next page, but my mind was no longer here.
Perhaps it was because I frequently looked away at the door too obviously, which made the little girl in the clinic look confused.
“Brother Lin, what happened?” Chen Xuanyi asked, “It feels like there are thorns on the stool.”
“That’s right.” Liang Yue said in agreement, “You are so distracted that if you continue like this, you will end up filling out the prescription orders.”
I looked at the medication order that was messily drawn by myself, and sighed quietly.The scrapped paper was quickly torn off and crumpled into a ball in his hand.
“It’s okay.” I said, “I’m just a little worried about Yuanyao.”
“Xiaoyao?” Chen Xuanyi was confused, “Is he feeling unwell? It’s rare that he came to the clinic with you today.”
“He’s fine.” I explained, “It’s just that he has to prepare lunch today, so he won’t work in the clinic with us.”
Liang Yue raised his eyes and looked outside the door, “Brother Lin, are you going back to eat later? Your electric car is not here, so you can’t take a taxi back, right?”
“I’m not that rich.” I smiled, “Yaoyao sent me food.”
The little girls suddenly burst into teasing laughter, “So happy——”
“But, Yuanyuan just learned to ride an electric bike recently.” I sighed, “Today is the first time for him to go on the road by himself… I’m a little worried.”
I originally planned to ride a shared electric scooter with Anyao to familiarize myself with the road conditions for a few days, but he seriously refused.
“Qingyan, I can already ride.” He said, “I will definitely be fine.”
I was still worried, but when I looked into An Yao’s shining eyes, I couldn’t say no.
“Qingyan,” he lowered his head, held my sleeve and shook it gently, “let me try it myself.”
An Yao’s voice became softer and softer, and his head pressed against my chest and rubbed softly.
“Please,” he seemed to be acting coquettishly for the first time, speaking with inexplicable discomfort, “…okay?”
I was stunned for a moment.
Before I could react, An Yao suddenly came up and touched my face quickly, then quickly lowered his head and buried himself in my arms, blushing silently.
“Qingyan,” he asked softly, “is that okay?”
My heart suddenly became paralyzed.Reason says to stop thinking about it, but sensibility gives it a punch and shouts: Think of it like a hammer, and it will be whatever you say.
So I shook hands with Sensen and agreed to Anyao’s request with a smile.
Now that I think about it, I was really out of my mind at that time. How come An Yao was so coquettish that he was defeated?
It’s really disappointing, Lin Qingyan.I think.When encountering something far away, I feel dizzy and can’t think at all.
When Chen Xuanyi saw me sighing repeatedly, he rarely continued to joke, “Oh, Brother Lin, you are just too nervous.”
“Brother Xiaoyao is an adult, what can happen if he rides a bicycle?” Liang Yue also said, “You will be in chaos if you care.”
I didn’t say anything, just sighed softly again.
The hands of the clock on the wall move slowly, and every minute and second is stretched infinitely.Feeling like I was sitting on pins and needles, I picked up the glass of already cold water on the table, took a sip, and looked out the door again.
People were coming and going outside the door, and all kinds of transportation were flowing continuously, but there was no figure I wanted to see inside.
Why hasn’t he arrived yet?Did you encounter trouble on the road?Will you be unfamiliar with the road conditions?Or should I say…
I quickly stopped the random thoughts in my mind and devoted myself to my work, trying to relieve my inner uneasiness.
The patients gradually left, and Chen Xuanyi and the others also went to eat. The clinic became quiet, and I was the only one left.I stood at the door, watching the cars coming and going, and the anxiety in my heart became more and more serious as time went by.
Is it really okay?Why haven’t you seen Yuanyao yet?How about making a phone call?But what if something happens to him while he is driving because of this phone call…
I thought about it for a while, and suddenly there was a familiar sound of a trumpet in the distance.I quickly looked up and saw a figure riding an electric bicycle appearing in my sight. His light gray hair was slightly raised in the noon wind.
It’s An Yao.
An Yao also saw me, and his eyes seemed to light up, but he didn’t dare to make any big moves because he was riding a bicycle.He pursed his lips, held the handlebars attentively, and rode smoothly to the open space next to the clinic.
“Yaoyao!” I yelled, and almost rushed over to Anyao as soon as he set up the car, and hugged him fiercely.
An Yao raised her face in my arms, with sweat on her face, but her eyebrows were arched in pleasure.
“Qingyan!” He said with a smile, “I rode here steadily.”
“Yaoyao is so awesome!” I said, “Yaoyao is so smart and awesome!”
An Yao covered her face in embarrassment, hid herself in my arms and laughed softly, “…No.”
“Yaoyao is so awesome,” I kissed the top of his hair, “Are there many cars when we come today?”
“Fortunately, it’s not too much.” An Yao put his arms around my neck, stood up on tiptoes and rubbed my face affectionately, “I specially take the non-motorized lane and follow the traffic lights.”
“Yaoyuan is so smart.” I praised with a smile, “Don’t forget to…” when riding a bike.
“You two! Don’t be bored -” a burst of laughter came from behind, “you’re blocking the road!”
An Yao and I turned our heads and found that the little girl who had gone to eat earlier had come back at some point and was sitting at the door looking at us with a face full of ridicule.
“Is it okay to ride an electric bike?” Chen Xuanyi couldn’t help laughing, “Oh, Brother Lin, you are so complimentary.”
Liang Yue suppressed a smile, “You don’t understand. This is other people’s tastes. Those of us who are not married don’t know.”
We were so excited by what they said that we quickly left.An Yao blushed and lowered her head to get the insulated lunch box in the car basket. I reached out to pick up one and looked at the group of booing girls with feigned ferocity, “Are you having fun talking about it?”
“It’s over. Thousand-year-old trees can hardly bloom. Now I am sharpening my sword for love.” Chen Xuanyi wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, “It’s so fierce, little pearls are about to fall.”
“Why are there so many dramas all day long?” I sighed and naturally took An Yao’s free hand, “Let’s go, let’s go upstairs for dinner.”
An Yao laughed silently, and gently hooked the fingers buried in my palm.I also laughed, grabbed his secretly confused fingertips, and walked hand in hand towards the lounge.
As soon as he entered the lounge, An Yao couldn’t wait to put the thermos box on the table, took it out layer by layer, and placed it neatly on the table: white and plump rice, shiny braised pork ribs, fried green broccoli, and a cup of milky-white and fragrant radish tube bone soup… Almost the moment he opened the box, the heat and strong aroma overflowed crazily, filling the small room and making people salivate.
“Qing, Qingyan,” he pushed the lunch box closer and looked at me like a treasure, “Is this okay? Is there anything that needs to be changed?”
I served the rice and handed the bowl and chopsticks to his hands.
“It’s perfect,” I said with a smile. “Our child Yaoyao did an outstanding job and is the best child in the world.”
An Yao’s eyes suddenly curled up, and a slight blush appeared on his face.
Anyao’s cooking skills are far better than mine.The pork ribs were stewed in a rich sauce, the meat was crispy and fell off the bones, and the heat was controlled just right, making it so delicious that you will remember it for a long time.The green vegetables that accompany it are refreshing and relieve greasiness, and the soup is delicious and mellow, without any greasiness that is common in restaurants outside.
I could hardly stop eating with my chopsticks.
“Oh, Yaoyao,” I sighed, “I always took you out to eat some time ago, but now that I think about it, compared to what you cook, it’s like pig food.”
“I’m really wronged by you for eating takeout with me for so long.”
An Yao blushed for a moment and almost buried his face in the bowl, “No, no… I can only cook so well.”
“Is this average?” I said. “If you call this average, then other restaurants will have no chance of survival.”
An Yao didn’t answer any more, just ate silently with the tips of his ears red.While I was eating, I kept an eye on his bowl and added food to him from time to time.If I hadn’t been watching him, he would probably just finish the bowl of rice.
After the meal, I got up and cleared away the dishes.An Yao followed me and suddenly whispered: “I…I will try to do better in the future.”
I put down the things in my hands, turned around and gently took him into my arms, lowered my head and kissed him on the forehead.
“No need,” I said with a smile, “Yuanyuan is already the best.”
“I like it very much.”
An Yao laughed, arching his eyebrows as if falling into the stars in the sky.
“Qingyan,” he said in a very soft voice, “you are also the best.”
