My Patients Fall in Love with Me

The next morning, Pei Lu didn’t have any classes. He cleaned himself up and went to the cafeteria to have breakfast before taking the bus to Li’s house.

Li’s home is not far from Y University, it’s only half an hour’s drive to get there directly by bus.

After eating too much for breakfast, Pei Lu had a bit motion sickness and when he got out of the car, his steps were swaying. 666 grumbled complaints in his mind, saying that he had stayed up watching dramas since yesterday morning, but was woken up by Pei Lu just after he closed his eyes and couldn’t sleep for two hours. At this moment, he was having a temper with Pei Lu.

Pei Lu couldn’t understand why an intelligent AI likes to chase dramas. “Are you AI all like this? Do you watch dramas all day and night, not afraid of getting your chips burned?”

666 stood proud and flaunted: “My chip is the latest generation ZZ250 chip, with a large memory and quick calculations. Putting on a show is just a trivial case.”

“Oh.” Pei Lu replied coldly, “You used a high-quality chip with a large memory and quick calculations to watch dramas. Does your supervisor know about this?”

“…” 666 was strangely silent for two seconds. Displaying his guilty conscience, he tried to fool him, “The supervisor knows it, he himself has already seen it.”

“Really? Then I’d like to have a chat with him when I get to see him next time.”

“…” 666 was threatened and immediately felt emotional, “You’re a meanie, I don’t want to talk to you!” He then continued to immersed himself in watching dramas.

It’s really capricious.

“……”

Pei Lu scurried alone to Li’s house and rang the doorbell.

“Teacher Xiao Meng, early so soon? Have you already eaten breakfast?” It was the housekeeper Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang had already recognized Pei Lu and once he said greet him politely, he took Pei Lu to find Li Jun.

“I’ve eaten on my way here.” Pei Lu smiled, “You go ahead, I’ll go by myself.” At this time, Li Jun should be playing dominoes in the game room.

Li Jun’s activities were precisely regular. Pei Lu went to the game room on the second floor and opened the door. Sure enough, he saw Li Jun squatting on the ground who was placing small pieces of dominoes attentively.

The dominoes have filled the entire game room, starting from the center of the room. The white dominoes were encircling around to fill the entire room. Currently, Li Jun was holding the last few dominoes.

He carefully put the last piece in place and stood up, the tight expression on his face slightly relaxed.

Pei Lu looked at him curiously, but couldn’t help but ask him, “Not that it’s all set, then what?”

“Shh~” Li Jun put his index finger on his lips, motioning him not to speak. Pei Lu shut his mouth obediently.

Li Jun seemed to be in a good mood. Although he didn’t smile, his eyes showed gleefulness. He pushed Pei Lu to the front and pointed to the dominoes on the ground.

Pei Lu was puzzled, “What do you want me to do? Do you want me to push it?”

Li Jun pursed his lips and nodded lightly.

Carefully squatting down, Pei Lu stretched out his index finger. He hesitated not to poke it down out of fear that his strength would be useless and might ruin the array of hard work.

Behind him, Li Jun leaned down and suddenly took his hand. He moved it to the first domino, and pushed it firmly.

The white domino fell, and the next domino fell. Like a butterfly that caused a hurricane1, it drove the white waves to spin in a quick manner. Pei Lu enjoyed this visual feast in amazement. The speed of the falling dominoes became faster as more of them dropped down until the white waves stopped surging when the last one finally fell.

Pei Lu opened his mouth and spoke to 666 in his heart, “I can see that this young man is amazing.” The formation took a long time to finish only for the outcome to last for a few minutes. The patience is too admirable.

666 is obsessed with watching dramas and has no time to talk to him.

Pei Lu squatted down and picked up a domino. He felt pity, “It took so long to build but now it’s collapsed.”

“Do you like it?” Li Jun’s brain circuit is basically not on the same channel as him. The tone of his voice revealed a sense of pride, “I’ll play with you next time.”

“…” Pei Lu’s mood was very complicated, “Did you specifically ask me to push?”

Perhaps his expression was too shocked, and Li Jun, who was still silently happy, finally noticed his expression. He tilted his head, a little puzzled. “Was it not fun?”

“It’s not a question of whether it’s fun or not,” Pei Lu tried to reason with him. “This is a waste of time and energy, so you don’t need to do it specially for me.”

“Oh.” Li Jun lowered his eyes, thick eyelashes hanging down to block his eyes.

Pei Lu：“……”

At this time, 666 came out and said, “Don’t be foolish, can’t you tell that this is a gift from him?”

“… Really?” Pei Lu smiled dryly, “Then his gift is very special.”

“……” With no fucks to say2, 666 snorted and ignored him again.

Li Jun still stood still on the spot, looking a little depressed. Pei Lu thought for a while before poking his arm and whispered, “Thank you.”

Li Jun’s eyes brightened and he looked up at him. The frustrated tail hanging down behind him slightly raised up!

So childish. Pei Lu kept his lips sealed but he put a smile on his face and said, “Let’s put these away first. Next time I’ll set them together with you.”

Li Jun let out a soft “um” and tidy up the scattered dominoes with him.

When they finished cleaning everything, it was almost time for lunch. Uncle Wang went upstairs and called them down to eat.

Pei Lu was too tired. This body is really bad. After tidying up the room, he panted like a cow3. He came over with a full stomach this morning, yet it hasn’t only been more than an hour and his stomach began to growl again.

So haughty!

Pei Lu dragged his two legs downstairs like a dead dog4. On the other hand, Li Jun’s face wasn’t red nor was he short of breath. In fact, he has not sweated a single drop. This is the gap between people! Pei Lu placed a fist on his chest. From now on, he must strengthen his exercises.

Because he didn’t know Pei Lu’s taste, Uncle Wang ordered a lot of dishes, both of which were in light and spicy tastes.

Pei Lu endured his hunger and sat at the table with restraint. Li Qingyi was also at home and would join lunch with them.

Li Jun stood by the table and didn’t speak. He was frowning and seemed to be in conflict.

Pei Lu was so hungry he only cared about the table full of dishes. He didn’t even notice the small reactions of his little friend!

After resolving his internal conflict for a while, Li Jun sat down next to Pei Lu. He was a little unaccustomed to sitting in an unfamiliar position, and his brows kept frowning.

“Young Master–” Uncle Wang was surprised when he saw that he suddenly did not take his usual position. Before he could ask, Li Qingyi came over.

“Has Teacher Xiao Meng adjusted yet?” Li Qingyi interrupted Uncle Wang with a smile and talked with Pei Lu. It seemed that he hadn’t noticed anything wrong with the position where his son was sitting.

Uncle Wang looked at the empty chair and was tangled for a while. In the end, he sighed and retreated.

Li Jun is a very stubborn person. He has to sit in the same position and use the same tableware to eat. He has never changed for so many years. Now that there was a drastic change, he(UW) does not know whether this is considered a good or a bad sign…

Pei Lu knew Li Jun’s habit. He glanced at the boy next to him strangely. However, his appetite had overcome his curiosity. He decided to satisfy his stomach first.

The dinner table is very quiet. People like the Li family don’t have the habit of chatting at the dinner table. This fits Pei Lu’s heart. You don’t need to talk, just bury your head and eat diligently.

Li Jun next to him doesn’t have such a good appetite. The tableware is still what he is used to, but the position has changed. Even though he chose it himself, he still feels uncomfortable. A pair of handsome eyebrows were frowning tightly, and the rice on his plate were picked up with a pair of chopsticks.

Li Qingyi secretly observes on the other side.

This is probably the first time Li Jun has made a choice in so many years. His life is just ordinary, even somewhat firm. This is the first time he has broken his own inherent habits.

For such changes, Li Qingyi chose to let it go.

Pei Lu had eaten 70% full and finally had free time to care about the people around him. Seeing Li Jun barely eating a few mouthfuls of food, he was a little surprised, so he leaned in and talked to him in a low voice, “Why aren’t you eating?”

“……”

Alright, this rascal is pretending to be naïve again.

Pei Lu automatically translated for him, “Is the food not appetizing?”

“The sweet and sour pork tenderloin is not bad, do you want to try it?” Pei Lu glanced at Li Qingyi who sat on the opposite side. Seeing that he didn’t pay attention to them, he used the public chopsticks to grab a piece of sweet and sour tenderloin and quickly put it into Li Jun’s bowl.

Li Qingyi: “…” Don’t think I can’t see it. : )

Li Jun stopped picking up the rice in the bowl, staring at the sweet and sour pork tenderloin.

Pei Lu felt that when he looked at the sweet and sour pork tenderloin like this, Li Jun finally moved his chopsticks. He picked up the sweet and sour pork tenderloin and hesitantly put it into his mouth.

There was the sound of a crisp clash of dishes from the opposite side. Li Qingyi stood up in a gloomy manner and held the cup that had been knocked down. He smiled apologetically at Pei Lu before his eyes rolled back into his head.
