MTL - The Sweetest Thing In the World-Chapter 83 accept
The stamina of the red wine slowly rose, Xu Mai's ears and neck were flushed red, his face was slightly hot, and the corners of his eyes were slightly pink like roses.
Feeling hot, Xu Mai unbuttoned his suit, took off his jacket, and hung it in his arms together with the long coat. Min Yue turned her head and saw it, took the initiative to take it, and hung it in the closet.
Turn around and open the drawer of the bedside table, dig out an old mobile phone from the depths, press and hold the power button, the screen flashes, and it turns on.
Min Yue pulled her to sit by the bed, opened the photo, clicked into an album, and passed it to the people around her. Xu Mai glanced at it, but his vision was affected by drunkenness, so he couldn't see clearly for a while.
Raising the phone up to eye level, Xu Mai took a closer look. The photo was a bit blurry and backlit, which made the effect even worse. Although it was hazy, Xu Mai still recognized that the person in the white coat in the photo was himself.
Xu Mai looked at Min Yue suspiciously, and the latter explained: "It was taken secretly by my classmate. He was in training at the First Affiliated Hospital and said that there was a beautiful doctor in the Department of Cardiac Surgery. We booed him, no picture, no truth. Then he took this picture."
"It's amazing! The whole class is fascinated by the master!" Min Yue smiled, recalling the past, with a hint of nostalgia in his tone: "The male students are crazy, and they are vying to get their hands when they graduate. Enter the First Attached Court."
"Fortunately, I squeezed in, and I was lucky enough to be recruited into the cardiac surgery department." Min Yue gently approached her lover's arms.
After time, I finally meet you.
The little girl many years ago would never have imagined that one day she would become Xu Mai's apprentice, let alone imagine that she would become her lover.
At this moment, Xu Mai was sitting beside the bed in the bedroom, hugging herself. The unreachable white moonlight in the sky was picked up and put into the bottom of my heart.
Xu Mai was wearing a white shirt with the neckline slightly open, revealing his collarbone faintly. Min Yue hugged her neck, stared at the beautiful lines, and leaned up to kiss her like a demon.
The love in my heart is like a tide, and I still feel that kissing is not enough, far from expressing how much I love her. Min Yue couldn't help but use her teeth and bite gently.
The soft tip of the tongue touches the skin faintly, boldly and enthusiastically teasing Xu Mai's slightly drunken nerves.
Qi and blood suddenly surged, and an inexplicable impulse clamored in his body, but the girl in his arms was unaware of the situation, and slowly kissed her along the collarbone, delicately and densely kissing her neck.
The skin on the neck was already sensitive, and the girl's breath and hot kiss made it even more unbearable.
Xu Mai closed his eyes, reached out and pressed the girl's head. Min Yue raised her head in confusion, and her whole body trembled when she met Xu's eyes with deep veins.
Those eyes, which were as cold as water, were now turbulent with an undercurrent, like a whirlpool, trying to **** her in and drown her.
"Uncles and aunts are outside..." Xu Mai reminded with a hoarse voice.
Only then did Min Yue realize what an extraordinary thing she had done, she blushed quickly, grabbed the pillow, and buried her face in it.
After a few seconds, he raised his head suddenly, blinked shyly, and said in an inaudible voice: "If parents are not here, can it be okay?"
Xu Mai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry."
Min Yue's small face quickly turned from crimson to a deep red that was about to bleed. She wasn't shy when throwing herself into her arms, didn't flinch when she spoke provocatively, and was frightened by Xu Mai's deep gaze.
Who, who is in a hurry? I'm not in a hurry!
Min Yue turned around and plunged into the bed, too ashamed to see anyone.
Xu Mai rubbed her hair with a smile, got up and walked to the window, drew the curtains tightly, and the room immediately became dark.
"Go to sleep."
Min Yue obediently gave up one's seat and signaled Xu Mai to lie down too.
"My stomach is too bloated, let me sit with you."
Xu Mai had never eaten like this before, as if a balloon had been stuffed into his stomach, it was tightly seamed and bulging. Afraid of gastric reflux, she dared not lie flat, but sat on the head of the bed.
Min Yue pushed away the pillow and lay on Xu Mai's lap, wearing a sweater and not feeling cold without a quilt.
The most sleepy after eating a full meal, Min Yue wanted to kiss and whisper for a while, but her eyelids were too heavy, so she fell asleep in a drowsy state not long after.
When he woke up, he found that Xu Mai was gone, there was an extra pillow under his neck, and Xu Mai's coat was still covering his stomach.
Min Yue rubbed her eyes and sat up, then climbed out of bed to find someone.
The door of the study room next door was open, and the sound of conversation could be heard faintly. Min Yue followed the sound and saw Min Guangyang and Xu Mai talking to the computer.
"Is this subject a national one?"
"Yes."
"Which journal did you submit to?"
"NATURE."
"That's good, with a high impact factor."
Min Yue walked over, squeezed in front of the computer, and joined the conversation: "What are you talking about?"
The lines on the screen were all in English. Min Yue took a cursory look, and it was so familiar that he immediately recognized that it was the paper of Xu Mai's just-concluded scientific research project.
Min Guangyang was sitting in front of the computer desk, and when he saw her head pushing hard, he moved the chair aside. "Have you read this paper?"
"I've seen it." Min Yue replied as a matter of course. She watched Xu Mai write it out bit by bit, and then revised it over and over again.
"Have you followed me to study? The article you published when you were in graduate school, I forgot what it was called, how many times it was rejected and corrected before it was published. Learn from others and see how Xu Mai wrote it."
Min Guangyang pointed out as someone who has been there: "It's also SCI, but the journals are also divided into good and bad journals. Posting them in good magazines will help you to evaluate your title in the future."
"I know, Master taught me to write." Just after waking up, Min Yue was urged to study, and Min Yue felt that a magic spell had been chanted, so she quickly moved away from the computer and hid behind Xu Mai.
Standing by the computer, Xu Mai explained: "She is about to start writing, and the direction is thoracoscopic valve surgery."
Min Guangyang is the Chief Physician of Thoracic Surgery. Upon hearing the name, he became energetic and began to talk about the application of thoracoscopic surgery in surgery, and communicated with Xu Mai about the difficulties in operation and future development prospects.
As soon as Min Yue heard that her head was getting bigger, she ran away in despair to tease Pangpang.
The two chatted for more than an hour, until Jiang Hui couldn't stand it anymore, and came over to interrupt: "This is at home, not in the hospital. You don't feel tired when you sit and talk, but Xu Mai is tired of listening while standing. Okay, okay Come out, it's rare to relax on a big weekend, don't talk about work."
Talking to the ups and downs, Min Guangyang was still unsatisfied. While turning off the computer obediently, he said, "I'm looking for a few papers on single-port thoracoscopy, and we will study together next time."
Xu Mai nodded: "Okay."
The four of them sat side by side in the living room and watched TV. The variety show was noisy and lively, but no one watched it seriously, and they all played it as the background sound.
Min Guangyang boiled water and prepared to make tea, Jiang Hui turned to the kitchen and shouted, "Come and take a picture, someone said in the morning that they didn't take you in the group photo, so take another one with you, how about you?"
Min Guangyang came out with a kettle in his hand, with a pleasant smile: "Give me your phone, how do you want to take pictures?"
Jiang Hui handed over her mobile phone, patted the place beside her, motioned him to sit down, then turned her head to look to the right: "You two, get closer, pay attention to the front and back, and find the camera yourself."
Min Guangyang sat at the front, stretched his arms, held his phone high, and used the selfie mode. "Is your mother beautiful?"
Min Yue conditioned reflex: "Beautiful!"
Click, take a good picture.
"Is the watermelon sweet?"
Min Yue and Jiang Hui said in unison: "Sweet!"
Click, the second picture.
"Fat and fat or not?"
Xu Mai understood the rules, joined them, and the three of them said together: "Fat!"
Pangpang instantly drooped his ears off the plane.
Click, the third one.
"Hahahaha! It understands!" Min Yue pinched the overflowing flesh on both sides of her chubby face, overjoyed.
Jiang Hui checked the effect of the photo, smiled with satisfaction, and sent it to the family group. Suddenly remembered something, looked at Xu Mai: "What's your WeChat name, I'll pull you in."
Xu Mai reported her name, added her as a friend, and after passing it, the system soon reminded her to enter a new group chat—the happy three.
"Oh, the group name has to be changed." Jiang Hui said to herself.
A few seconds later, on the chat interface, the "happy family of three" became "a family of four".
Xu Mai's heart suddenly felt hot, she had been fully accepted and integrated into this warm home.
Xu Mai quietly looked at the two elders, who were looking at their phones together and commenting on the photos they just took.
Jiang Hui thought that his lighting was not good enough, Min Guangyang laughed and laughed, and asked if the lighting was not good, why did I feel so bright, was it because the lady next to her was so beautiful. Jiang Hui laughed and patted him gently.
The warm and beautiful, ordinary daily life is the part of Xu Mai's life that has been missing for more than thirty years.
The phone vibrated three times, and the three photos just taken popped up in the group, Xu Mai clicked on them.
The closest ones to the camera are the Min family's parents, and she is in the middle. Min Yue sits at the end, next to her shoulder, fat and fat sitting on her lap, with her round belly facing the camera.
Everyone was laughing, including herself, who was infected by the atmosphere and showed a warm smile.
The people around him burst into laughter, poked their fingertips over, and tapped on the screen.
Min Yue: "Fat and ugly! Look at its short tail and round body, like a stunted Coprinus comatus!"
Jiang Hui then said: "Yeah, why don't you know that it is getting fatter and fatter, you have to control its diet and let it move more."
Min Guangyang also looked worried: "Fortunately, it is domesticated. If it is in the wild, I don't know if there are any little male cats who like it."
Last year, Min Yue sent a photo of it to herself. At that time, it was still small, soft, milky yellow, fluffy, and very cute. Comparing the past and looking at the present, Xu Mai said realistically, "It's long-term disabled."
Pangpang couldn't understand so many words, but it saw that everyone was laughing at it, turned over its stomach with great effort, flapped its short legs, and ran away unhappy.
Min Yue laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and said out of breath: "No matter how ugly it is, it is also a member of the family, and its name cannot be omitted."
Move your fingers, the group name has been changed again, the latest version is called - "Family of five, fat is the ugliest".
Xu Mai couldn't help laughing.
After the photos were taken, it was almost time to prepare dinner.
Jiang Hui had something on her mind and planned to ask Xu Mai privately, so she called her into the kitchen.
He took out the frozen half ribs from the refrigerator and put them on the chopping board. Jiang Hui handed over the bone chopping knife and said, "Your surgeons are very good at using knives. I have helpers here today. I'm being lazy."
"I'll do it." Xu Mai took the knife and gestured. "Chop like this?"
"Chop along the bone seam first, and then chop into sections. Larger pieces are fine. Braised pork ribs are more delicious when eaten with your hands." Jiang Hui pointed and watched her chop the meat.
Since living alone, Xu Mai has hardly cooked by himself, and has not cleaned ribs for many years, so he is a bit unfamiliar. But as soon as he held the knife, body memory flooded up. Relying on the basic skills of a surgeon, he raised and lowered the knife with his hand, and with a bang, he split it cleanly.
"That's fine." Jiang Hui confidently handed over the spare ribs to her, and went to choose vegetables by herself, removed the old yellow leaves, and rinsed the fresh leaves under the running water.
The noise from the TV in the living room and Min Yue's laughter came in from time to time. In contrast, the kitchen was very quiet.
Jiang Hui looked for a topic to chat for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "I heard from Yueyue that your family is gone?"
Bang, the machete chopped crookedly, and the point of the knife plunged into the chopping board.
Jiang Hui was startled, and turned to look over.
Xu Mai's expression suddenly dimmed, like dark clouds covering the starlight.
Almost instantly, Jiang Hui realized that what she said was wrong and touched her unspeakable thoughts.
She really didn't think it through, no matter how indifferent she was, it was impossible not to feel sad when thinking of the death of her family.
Jiang Hui immediately said: "Auntie is talking too much, it's over, let's not talk about this."
Turn off the water and go to the chopping board. "Are you tired? Take a break and I'll chop the rest."
Xu Mai propped his hands on the chopping board, as if he had lost his strength, his eyes lost focus, and looked down sadly.
After a moment of silence, she said softly, "My parents passed away when I was very young..."
