On How To Defeat Dr. Qing Leng Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Never lack patience

“…” The painful expression on Pei Yan’s face froze for a moment.

Pei Yan blinked and immediately put on a weak and shameless expression: “It’s because of the pain and numbness. I don’t want you to worry… In fact, it hurts when I move, really.” After saying that, he wanted to lean on Wen Yelan again.

Wen Yelan stepped aside, walked to the pot, stirred the huge mountain of noodles with chopsticks, and said calmly: “Oh. It seems that you have to deal with this bowl of noodles yourself. The wounded need to eat more to replenish their strength.”

Pei Yan: “…”

He knew the secret was revealed.Seeing Wen Yelan’s profile clearly seeing through but not bothering to reveal it, only competing with the pot of noodles, the pride in Pei Yan’s heart as if the prank had succeeded turned into a puddle of spring water.He walked over, gently hugged Wen Yelan’s waist from behind, rested his chin on his head, and smelled the fresh breath in his hair.

“I was discovered.” He admitted frankly with a smile in his voice, “My waist is a little sore, but I didn’t fall that hard. Mainly because…” He tightened his arms and whispered in Wen Yelan’s ear, “I want you to feel sorry for me.”

Wen Yelan’s body stiffened slightly, but he did not pull away. The tips of his ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.His hands kept stirring the noodles, and his voice was dull: “Boring.”

“Then you were worried about me and gave me medicine, were you serious?” Pei Yan pushed further.

“…The noodles are going to be burnt.” Wen Yelan tried to change the subject and added some cold water to the pot.

Pei Yan chuckled and stopped asking, but he didn’t let go either. He just held him and watched him scramble to save the pot of noodles.The morning light filled the kitchen, the steam of the food was steaming, mixed with the faint smell of medicinal oil, but it made him feel extremely happy.

In the end, the pot noodles were successfully divided into two bowls, one large and one small.The clear soup is light and watery, and is dotted with a few green vegetables, a fried egg and two slices of bacon. It is not really rich, but it is full of weight.

The two sat across from each other at the dining table.Pei Yan ate very well and seemed to be really hungry.Wen Yelan ate with a good appetite.

“Just… was it Bai Yu’s call?” Pei Yan asked casually, taking a sip of noodles.

“Yeah.” Wen Yelan nodded and said in a relaxed tone, “He originally wanted to deliver breakfast to my apartment, but I said I would be here with you.”

Pei Yan slowed down his chewing motion and looked up at him: “Then?”

“Then I said, I’m with you.” Wen Yelan put down his chopsticks and looked at Pei Yan with clear eyes, “Brother Yu… didn’t object. He said that if you are good to me, he will be happy for me.”

Pei Yan was stunned.This reaction was unexpected.Based on his observation and intuition about Bai Yu, that man’s possessiveness towards Wen Yelan was definitely not an ordinary brotherly love.Such a calm and even blessed acceptance made him feel a little doubtful.But he didn’t show it, he just nodded with a smile on his lips: “That’s good. It saves me from worrying about him stumbling upon me.”

Wen Yelan glared at him: “Brother Yu is not that kind of person.”

“Yes, yes, your brother Yu is the best.” Pei Yan followed suit and put a piece of bacon into Wen Yelan’s bowl. “But he is right. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me. Of course, you can tell him…” He said the last three words a little reluctantly.

Wen Yelan didn’t answer, lowered his head and ate the piece of bacon.

In the end, Pei Yan really ate most of the big bowl of noodles, leaving only a little bit that he couldn’t eat anymore.

Wen Yelan couldn’t help but said: “You are too honest. If you can’t eat, don’t hold on.”

“You don’t want to waste what you do.” Pei Yan said lazily, leaning on the back of the chair, with soft eyes.

“…Hmm.”

…

At the same time, on the other side of the city.

Bai Yu was wearing a silk nightgown and sitting on a large leather chair in the study.On the desk in front of him, there were several photos spread out.The pixels of the photo are not high, and it is obviously taken secretly from a distance. It is even a little blurry, but the content can be recognized.

One picture shows the door of the old community unit where Wen Yelan lives, with a figure squatting in the corner wearing bloated and worn clothes. The other picture shows the window of Wen Yelan’s apartment, with two figures approaching vaguely. The other picture shows the back of Pei Yan’s black Cullinan parked below Wen Yelan’s building.

The slender fingers of white jade gently tapped the smooth tabletop, making a regular clicking sound.There was no expression on his face, and his gaze fell calmly on the photo, and then seemed to penetrate the photo and land further away.

The phone rings.He picked up.

“Mr. Bai, the follower reported that Dr. Wen did not return to his apartment in the past few days and stayed at Pei Yan’s residence. The two of them did not go out all day today.” Chen Mo’s voice was on the other end of the phone.

“I know.” Bai Yu’s voice was calm, “Where’s Pei Yan? What actions have you taken recently?”

“It’s very quiet. In addition to handling necessary company affairs, I am accompanying Dr. Wen. There is no abnormal movement at the Moon Foundation. In addition… he seems to be checking Anna’s affairs. But fortunately, the accident investigation has been classified as an accident.”

“Yeah.” Bai Yu said noncommittally, “Where’s the one named Zhao?”

“Zhao Hua has been formally prosecuted for multiple business violations and unfair transactions, and he has no time to take care of himself. His wife accepted the money and promised not to pursue Fan Qingzhi anymore. Of course, Fan Qingzhi is now in a difficult situation. The academic fraud and expulsion have been spread, and she is finished in this circle.”

“So, is this confirmed to be her in the photo?”

“I’m sure she lives in the cheapest urban village now, and her mental state seems unstable. Our people are keeping an eye on her.”

Bai Yu was silent for a moment, his fingers caressing the edge of the photo unconsciously.”Pei Yan…” He chewed the name in a low voice, with no hint of happiness or anger in his tone, “but he is calm.”

“Mr. Bai, do you need us to do anything else?” Chen Mo asked tentatively.

“No need.” Bai Yu categorically denied, her voice a bit colder, “Now is not the time. The Pei family has a deep foundation, and Pei Yan himself is not a straw bag. It is useless to make a small fuss, but to scare the snake.” He paused, and his eyes returned to the blurry photo on the window of Wen Yelan’s apartment. “Xiaolan is in high spirits now, and it is the time to trust and rely on him. Forcibly intervening will only push him further.”

“Then… we just wait like this?”

“Wait.” Bai Yu took off his glasses and pinched his brows, with a trace of rare fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still sharp, “Wait for the right time. Wait for Xiaolan to discover… that for some things, ‘seriousness’ and ‘peace of mind’ alone are not enough. In Pei Yan’s world, there are inherent rules and potential crises, as well as the unchangeable strength and impulse in his character…” He put on his glasses again, the lenses reflecting the cold light, “Cracks will always appear. But before that…”

He looked out the window at the bright night view of the city.

“Protect Xiaolan. Keep an eye on that woman named Fan, don’t let her go crazy and do something irreversible. The rest…take your time as planned.”

“Yes, Mr. Bai.”

The phone hangs up.Silence returned to the study.Bai Yu sat alone at the junction of darkness and light, not moving for a long time.Only his fingertips tapped gently on Wen Yelan’s blurry image.

Beneath, bee, bee.

Doesn’t Pei Yan like to protect Xiaolan?Then let him deal with it.Let him face the malice from the dark corners and let him be distracted from dealing with the endless “little troubles”.And myself…

Bai Yu’s eyes moved toward the window.He will stay by Xiaolan’s side as an elder brother and the most reliable supporter.Appear when Xiaolan needs it, and give him the comfort and support he needs most when he is tired, troubled, or perhaps… shaken by Pei Yan’s troubles.

patience.He never lacked patience.

He reached out and turned off the lamp.The study fell into darkness, with only the neon lights and shadows of the city outside the window flickering brightly and dimly in his unobstructed eyes.

After a long time, a very light, almost inaudible sigh came from the darkness and dissipated in the air.
