My Patients Fall in Love with Me

Arc 1: Teacher, I want to Sleep with You (xiv)

The goldfishes were kept in a transparent fish tank, the bottom of which was paved with small colored stones. The sunlight shone through the water waves onto the stones, refracting the light of the waves.

Two goldfish were swimming around in the tank and Pei Lu was smiling as he fed his new pets, ignoring Li Jun, who was having a tantrum.

Li Jun was sullen and unhappy. Sticking his chin out, he stared at Pei Lu’s thin back silently for a moment. His eyes flashed and he took out his phone. Opening xBao[1], he entered the keywords and began to skillfully search for the items he wanted. 

Pei Lu was unaware of this and was still goofing around feeding his goldfishes.

The weather was getting cooler and cooler, and in September, Wen Qingqing, who was getting married, sent an invitation to Pei Lu.

It was said that she had met her fiancé in a game and the two people quickly fell in love. One; who claimed that he would be the only one she would marry and the other; claimed that she would be the only one he would propose to. Fortunately, both of them lived in the city and both of their family histories were also quite good. Since they saw eye to eye, the two families decided to just set up the banquet and agreed to the wedding. 

Wen Qingqing’s wedding was scheduled for December and September 10th was her engagement party. Pei Lu wore a formal outfit and with carefully prepared gifts, he and Li Jun headed to the party together. 

The two families’ family backgrounds were not bad and in order to show respect for the in-laws, the engagement party was very grand. Various guests from different backgrounds were invited and waiters could be seen carrying trays to and fro. The scene witnessed was very lively.

Pei Lu curiously looked around. The waiter was in front, leading them to the newest couple. 

Since they have arrived, surely they would have to greet Wen Qingqing first, as a formality.

Wen Qingqing wore a bright red off-shoulder evening dress with a long fishtail skirt trailing on the ground. Her makeup was gorgeous and red lips sultry, which was a big difference compared to the carefree woman in Pei Lu’s impression. 

“Congratulations, I wish you happiness.” Pei Lu handed the gift to her.

Wen Qingqing, wearing delicate makeup, noticed Pei Lu and wanted to grin. However, just as her mouth opened halfway, she reacted and remembered that this was her big day. She hurriedly pressed down the corner of her lips and gave a reserved thanks, “I also wish you guys happiness.”

“……” Pei Lu: You……guys?

Before he could dwell on it, Wen Qingqing was hurriedly pulled away. As one of today’s protagonists, Wen Qingqing was not destined to be idle today.

Since the he had met with the person and his intentions were also received, Pei Lu realized that he knew no one present and decided to just head to the banquet hall to observe. 

On the high platform, countless roses were tied together and puzzled out into a huge arch.

The atmosphere was very warm and everyone’s face was overflowing with smiles. Pei Lu was also infected and could not help but smile along as well. 

Marriage was really a sacred and joyful thing.

Li Jun slightly cast a sideways gaze at him and his hands began to stir. He had tolerated it for a while but finally, he could not resist and he placed his hand on Pei Lu’s head. Pei Lu’s hair was soft and fine and was very comfortable to touch.

“……” Pei Lu shook his head, trying to shake off the restless hand on his head.

However, Li Jun deliberately did not comply with his intention. His broad palm slipped down from the top of his head before placing it on the side of his face to give it a gentle rub. When Pei Lu raised his eyes, he looked right into his eyes, and the deep emotion inside them made him breathless.

Pei Lu’s heart was beating fast.

Li Jun looked at him deeply. His eyes were filled with deep love and infatuation, “Teacher, can we be together?”

In the end, the time came anyway. Pei Lu’s eyes widened in surprise and Li Jun’s serious face was reflected in his black pupils.

The people around them noticed their movement and had the sense to avoid it, leaving space for the two.

“OK?” Li Jun’s eyes were full of tenderness and his always silent eyes looked like they were filled with starlight, swaying Pei Lu so much that he didn’t dare to look.

He lowered his eyes uneasily and his teeth bit anxiously on his light-colored lips. He did not dare to open his mouth as he was afraid that once he opened his mouth, he would not be able to retract his words.

“666, what should I do?”

“……” 666, who finally wasn’t bickering with him, answered seriously, “I have seen a lot of drama. People who love each other would separate since most of them were not brave enough at the beginning. If you really like him, do not hesitate. The future is unknown to anyone, the present moment is the most important.”

“……” Pei Lu was stunned by his philosophical remarks that even the tangle in his heart faded a little, “666, this is the first time I thought you were so cute.”

“Love you so much, mwah, mwah~”

666: “……”

……It was a long silence. Li Jun was a little disappointed and he dropped his hand. His eyelashes were hanging low, which was a very sad posture.

“Teacher……is still not willing to accept me?”

Pei Lu squeezed his fingers and for the first time, he took the initiative to hold his(LJ) hand hanging by his leg. He said in a shy whisper, “Then let’s give it a try.” Without trying, who would know the outcome?

Li Jun jerked his head up to look at him and his black eyes were full of incredulity. He froze for a moment before suddenly pressing Pei Lu into his arms fiercely with a strength that was close to shoving him into his heart.

Good-natured applause rang out all around, and Pei Lu, red-faced and held by Li Jun, was forced to come out of the closet in front of the guests.

Outside the crowd, Wen Wan, who was in a complicated mood & Li Qingyi, who was in a huge shock: ……

The father of Wen Qingqing was Wen Wan’s own brother. As it was her niece’s engagement, Wen Wan and her husband were bound to be present. They had just helped Wen Wan’s elder brother in receiving guests and did not expect to witness their son’s confession scene just as they had the time to check out the banquet.

The object of his confession was also a man.

You could imagine the complexity of the emotions

The guests also recognized Li Jun, and when they saw the shocked couple in their periphery, they had the sense to make a way for them.

Thus, just after saying goodbye to singleness and coming out of the closet, Pei Lu, who hadn’t had the time to adapt yet, shyly peeked out from Li Jun’s arms and met with his parents-in-law’s gaze. 

…… Pei Lu: This was very awkward.

“Uncle, auntie.” Pei Lu greeted awkwardly.

Li Jun also noticed them and stilled with a calm face, he greeted, “Dad, mom.”

“Sigh~” Li Qingyi, who was called by his son, felt a comfortable feeling course through his body and the smile on the edge of his mouth could not be suppressed.

Wen Wan swept a look around the guests watching. In the end, she decided to go forward and pulled Pei Lu over, complaining, “Xiaoyue, let’s go inside and talk. Li Jun, this child, couldn’t he have found a better place to confess……” 

“……No, it’s okay.” Pei Lu blushed and obediently followed Wen Wan forward.

Behind, Li Jun also wanted to catch up with them but Li Qingyi pulled on him, “Us two together, let them talk in the front. Are you afraid that your mother will eat him?”

Li Jun pursed his lips and walked forward with a cold face, firmly keeping a distance of two meters from the two people in front of him.

Li Qingyi: ……This son could not be kept, he was not obedient at all. 

Wen Wan had come out of the complicated feelings of bumping into her son’s confession scene and she foolishly comforted herself. Finding a male daughter-in-law was better than no daughter-in-law and Pei Lu had indeed hit it off with her.

In contrast, Pei Lu was much more cautious and was walking with the same hands and feet[2]. His eyes were restlessly wandering, anxiously thinking about which explanation would make it more acceptable. He also blamed his own carelessness, even momentarily forgetting about the existence of Wen Wan and others.

Wen Wan looked at his nervous look with amusement as she smiled and patted his hand, “Don’t be nervous, I’ve guessed your matters long ago.”

“If Li Jun is with you, we have nothing to worry about. His temperament……you also know.” Wen Wan leisurely sighed, “To put it mildly, you’re still the one who suffers a little bit more.” 

Pei Lu: =-=

“Auntie……you don’t mind?” Pei Lu asked weakly, “Li Jun and I are both……”

Wen Wan’s open-minded attitude was a surprise to Pei Lu. In this world, same-sex marriage laws had not been passed yet and homosexuality was still a minority. He had thought that when Wen Wan knew about them, even if she would not forcefully separate them, she would not accept him so easily.

Wen Wan seemed to see the doubt in his heart and softly explained to him, “You are a good boy. Being able to meet you is Li Jun’s blessing. Even without you, there will not be others.”

“……” It did seem to be the case. Pei Lu glanced back. For someone like Li Jun, it wouldn’t be easy for him to find a second him(PL) in the world. 

As if sensing his gaze, Li Jun suddenly looked up at him.

Pei Lu turned his face back sheepishly and listened to Wen Wan with a face of obedience.

In a nutshell, it meant that they were not against his relationship with Li Jun.

“Congratulations, dear~” 666 jumped out and said, “You’re finally out of the pathetic single dog team.”

Pei Lu gave a reserved smile. But in fact, he was also particularly happy in his heart that he wanted to run a few laps wildly in celebration. It was hard to find a boyfriend with a good face and a good job, okay?!

However, 666 understood him very well. He had long seen through his little mind and could not help but say, “Enjoy the feeling of first love, I’m going back to my dramas. If there isn’t anything important, please don’t summon me, dear~” 

Pei Lu: = =

“Ah yes, almost forgot to say, the progress bar has risen to 70%. Keep up the good work, dear, the organization has confidence in you~”

“……” Pei Lu suddenly couldn’t get happy anymore.
