I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

The girl who claimed that she only fell in love and never married raised her head and kissed her boyfriend's chin not too reservedly, and then took advantage of the other's stupefied effort to leave Rexxar's warm and firm embrace lightly.

The feeling of emptiness in his arms brought the kissed man back to his senses.

"Lucy," Rexxar said helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I want more than just kisses and hugs, you should understand what I mean."

——What I want is a legal partner status.

Pei Xiang took three steps back with his hands behind his back to look at the greedy man opposite, and couldn't help but hum softly, thinking, it's already good to have kisses and hugs on the first day of confession, but this man wants more?

——I’m all injured, and I don’t know if my physical strength will work, heh!

When Rexxar saw her showing that cold and arrogant little expression, he immediately changed his words:

"Well, for the time being, we only talk about love, not marriage, um, we only want to establish that kind of intimate relationship that is relaxed and without further commitments. When you want to go further one day, we will talk about the marriage proposal."

Pei Xiang lowered his head, picked up the white shirt that had been thrown aside before and stuffed it to Rexxar, and asked very innocently:

"Hurry up and put on your clothes. After bandaging the wound, don't be so disheveled. It's too disrespectful."

George Rexar: "…Sorry."

After Rexxar put on the spare clothes he had hidden in the studio in advance, another 5 minutes passed.

Pei Xiang also tidied up the medicine box and dealt with all kinds of unnecessary traces in the room.

"George," Pei Xiang helped Rexxar sit down, "did you get rid of those people's tracking when you returned? Will they take this opportunity to lock your position?"

Rexxar reviewed today's escape process again in his mind, and after confirming that there were not many omissions, he opened his mouth to explain:

"I threw my tail off before returning to Saratoga. Even if those people suspected that I was hiding around here, as long as it didn't reveal that George Rexxar was injured at the same time, there was no big deal. question."

Pei Xiang understood:

"This is a hot spring town where tourists gather. There are many and mixed people living in and outside the town, and there is a lot of mobility. New faces appear almost every day. It is really difficult to check anything.

"Besides, the people who follow you can't do things openly. They may need to hide their existence more than you. From this point of view, you are indeed out of danger this time."

"Don't worry," Rexxar comforted, "I have been prepared to expose my identity at any time a long time ago. In fact, the exposure on the surface is not the worst situation, at most it will not be carried out." It's just a task. Of course, some people may still hate it.

"But as long as I am cautious enough and hold the power to protect myself and fight back, some troubles are not troublesome. What's more, I have a deeper bond now, and I will not let myself die easily in a dark corner of."

These words reminded Pei Xiang of the old scars she had just discovered on Rexxar's body, and she couldn't help frowning when she thought of the location and healing status of those scars.

"You put your wrist on the table."

"Huh?" Rexxar followed suit, with curiosity flashing across his eyes.

Pei Xiang concentrated on checking his new boyfriend's pulse, and after a few minutes, he said:

"Have you ever heard of a medical technique in the East that pricks people with needles?"

"I have heard a little bit. It is said that they like to use various parts of animals and plants for medicine, and they have a very unique set of medical theories. But to be honest, sometimes I can't figure out the specific boundary between Eastern medicine and Eastern mysticism."

Pei Xiang thought about it, and felt that he could try to explain something to Rexxar, but let's forget about it tonight, after all, this person looks very energetic now, but in fact he is just holding on.

"I have learned some relevant knowledge from a certain teacher before, and I have also practiced it. George, it is not convenient for you to find a doctor for treatment now, and you have taken my medicine before. How about some new healing methods? ?”

"New method?"

Rexxar did not immediately agree to Pei Xiang, but fell into thinking,

Pei Xiang thought that Rexxar was weighing the pros and cons, so he didn't urge him, and even prepared to be rejected.

After a while, the gentle and sincere smile appeared on Rexxar's face again, and there was a steady and convincing temperament between his brows:

"Lucy, I'm very interested in the strange knowledge you have, why don't we swear an oath to get married. After we become husband and wife, we can be alone for a long time, and in that case, you can treat me anytime, anywhere, I I can also ask you for new knowledge.

"Lucy, from now on, every night, every morning, every afternoon tea time, every rest day and every working day, we can be inseparable and have intimate conversations. Dear, after we get married, you and I are friends , loved ones, and a lover's partner, how wonderful that would be."

The man's voice was nice, like a cello movement slowly flowing, but what he said was a bit doggy.Pei Xiang sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that he had never heard of a doctor who had to marry the patient first when treating a patient.

"Are you sure? If you don't get married, you won't get treatment?" Pei Xiangxiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked gently with a smile.

Rexxar's eyebrows moved slightly, and the tone of the next moment changed very naturally:

"Of course not, Lucy, that's just a suggestion. If you're not interested, then we'll just treat you, without any strings attached."

"No," Pei Xiang said slowly, "I did not have any additional conditions just now, but now I have. George, you have to pay the consultation fee, the full amount."

The rich Mr. Rexxar nodded with a smile, completely unaware of how expensive his girlfriend's charges are.

——Later, Mr. Rexxar, who likes to keep quiet and disturb the wind and rain, chose to retire early.

The two were talking in a relaxed mood, and tiredness finally crept up to the corners of Rexxar's eyes and brows. Pei Xiang noticed the change in Rexxar's expression, and gently shook his hand.

"You can't live here tonight, let's go, I'll take you back to your residence. It's not far from the place you rented."

Rexxar also felt that he needed to rest, so he nodded slightly, got up and said:

"I sneaked up through the corner door of the back staircase. I have a spare key for that door. Let's go from there when we leave, so as not to make Jim, the doorman in front, suspicious."

"Jim is really a responsible doorman. When I went upstairs, I asked casually about the situation in the building. He knew exactly who was in the building. You'd better not let him see, otherwise he will definitely be suspicious. .”

"Who else is in the building now?" Rexxar was in a hurry to return to the studio to stop the bleeding and heal his wounds, and didn't have time to investigate the specific situation in the small conference building.

"I heard from Jim that Mrs. Clara and Miss Garfield are proofreading book manuscripts, as well as Principal Modinant and two Austrian students. Not only did they not leave, they are also planning to have dinner here."

The two were talking about the people in the building when they heard a gentle knock on the door.Immediately, a voice belonging to the young Miss Garfield came in:

"Miss Hoffman, are you there? I'm Kathleen Garfield, and I need your help with something."

Pei Xiang and Rexxar looked at each other.

Rexxar immediately got up and hid on the terrace.After he covered his figure with the velvet curtain, Pei Xiangcai agreed briskly.

She pushed the curved armchair beside her, making some loud clattering noises, before going to open the door for Miss Garfield.

"Miss Garfield, what can I do for you?"

Miss Garfield, who was standing outside the door, showed a sweet and lively smile the moment Pei Xiang opened the door, as kind and friendly as a sister next door.

"That's right, Miss Hoffman..."

Garfield looked curiously at the studio behind Pei Xiang several times, then suddenly changed his tone and said cheerfully:

"It turns out that Professor Rexar's studio is like this. I always think, what kind of office environment should such a powerful young gentleman have? Oh, sorry, I am always so thoughtless. Miss Hoffman , Mrs. Clara asked me to ask you, are you free now? We have encountered some small troubles there, and hope to get your help."

Pei Xiang pretended not to notice the hint that Miss Garfield wanted to enter the house, and still blocked people at the door.

"What kind of trouble?"

"Oh, it's about the translation of a few sentences in Greek. Mr. Haydn and Mr. Stein have different opinions. Mrs. Clara said that your Greek is very good, and you have been taught by Professor Rexxar personally, so she wants you to go there Help judge."

Pei Xiang smiled and said, "Since it is Mrs. Clara's invitation, I will definitely go."

After getting an affirmative answer, Garfield's smile became even brighter, and she said enthusiastically:

"Thank you, Miss Hoffman, let's go now. I was so happy when I heard Jim say you were on the second floor. Actually, I have always wanted to talk to you, but unfortunately you always hold your book and concentrate on Read, I am too embarrassed to bother you."

Pei Xiang smiled and said nothing, his attitude was gentle but not too intimate.

But Miss Gardfield didn't seem to feel Pei Xiang's polite attitude, she suddenly became interested in talking, and stood at the door of the studio and talked about her past in a familiar way.

"Miss Hoffman, I actually studied mathematics with Professor Rexxar. It was a few years ago, and Professor Rexxar was still teaching in my father's school. At that time, I always liked to attend some interested students. I got to know him a lot during the course. He has a really good temper. No matter who asks him a question, he answers patiently. Those who get his help are also very grateful to him.

"It's just... I was quite self-willed at that time, and I always felt that it was a bit embarrassing to ask a young man for advice. Every time I asked him, I was awkward. But Professor Rexxar was never angry, but treated me more than others. Be patient. When he came to our house for dinner, he always praised me in front of everyone. I was thin-skinned and embarrassed, so I deliberately bickered with him..."

Pei Xiang glanced calmly in the direction of the balcony curtain.

Garfield seems to be caught in the memories of the past. While emphasizing her father Sir Robert Garfield's promotion and trust in Rexxar, she uses some specious details to "prove" that Rexxar is different from her.

Of course, as a lady, she would definitely not say something outright.She only needs to show a sweet and shy smile, and some audience members can understand.

Pei Xiang felt that if the girl could say a few words less, her beloved big brother Rexxar would probably feel better. After all, it is quite sad to have to stand on the balcony to blow air after being injured.

"Hey, Miss Garfield, don't keep Mrs. Clara waiting, let's go."

"Oh, ok, I'm talking too much, Miss Hoffman, let's go."

The Miss Garfield took a step back as she spoke.

She was probably too focused on communicating with Pei Xiang, or maybe it was because the lights in the corridor were a little dim.In short, just when Pei Xiang was about to turn around and close the door, Miss Garfield staggered with an "oops", as if she had twisted her foot because she couldn't stand firmly.

Pei Xiang stepped forward to support her: "Are you okay?"

"Oh, it hurts. God, it hurts! Is it not broken? Miss Hoffman, I think I need to sit down and rest and see how the ankle is doing."

"It should be so," Pei Xiang did not expose Miss Garfield's tricks, and followed her words, "Then let me help you to sit in Professor Rexxar's studio and have a look at the condition of your ankle. If it is serious If so, we will send someone to find a doctor."

Garfield gave a shy smile of gratitude.

After the two entered Rexxar's studio, Pei Xiang glanced in the direction of the terrace without any trace, and made sure that there was no sign of Tibetans there.

"Miss Hoffman, thank you very much. Well, can I trouble you to go to Mrs. Clara first? My maid is over there, I need her to take care of me, and then, um, I guess Clara Madam and the others should wait anxiously, I won't waste Miss Hoffman's time."

Pei Xiang said gently but firmly:

"Of course I am willing to help Miss Garfield as much as I can. But, before I go to Mrs. Clara, I have to see your injuries. I hope that if that respectable lady asks about your injuries , I can answer one or two questions, instead of asking three questions and making everyone who cares about you worry."

Garfield's eyes flashed slightly:

"You're right, Miss Hoffman. Then, come and help me look at the injury, ah, hiss—I'm hurting when I move, and the ankle is burning hot, but what's the situation, I I don't know either."

Pei Xiang did not refuse this request. After Miss Garfield took off her shoes and socks, she kept carefully looking at the other party's ankle:

"Well, it looks normal."

"Oh, is it? But, but it really hurts."

Pei Xiang put on gloves and pressed lightly like a layman, then asked with concern:

"Does it hurt when you touch it?"

"It hurts, but I'm not sure exactly where it hurts... God, Miss Hoffman, maybe I need some ice. Maybe it's not that bad. I'm just too delicate."

Pei Xiang glanced at Garfield, who had been screaming in pain, in confusion, as if frightened by her uncomfortable appearance.Her hand left the young lady's ankle, pinched Garfield's calf recklessly, then lifted it up abruptly, and at the same time asked anxiously:

"Does it really hurt that much? There is no redness or swelling, maybe it's because of the light. Come on, lift your leg up, and I'll take a closer look."

"Oh, no, no..."

Garfield really hurt this time, and she felt that Pei Xiang's fingers were like a pair of iron pincers, firmly clamping her calf.

"Never mind. We'll have to check in the light. Maybe it's not your ankle that's hurt. That's just a horrible illusion. After all, after a sprain, you can have problems with your whole leg, even your lower back. Well, who knows which Are the bones going to crack and break? Maybe... the knees..."

As Pei Xiang's words fell, Garfield only felt a sharp pain in his knee, and an exclamation sounded in his ear at the same time:

"It doesn't seem right here, hey, it looks like a small piece is dented? Miss Garfield, how are you..."

At this time, Kathleen Garfield also panicked, she had no idea that her knee would really be hurt.

However, before she could ask for anything, the sudden sharp pain made her eyes go black, and after that, Miss Garfield didn't know anything.

"Well, she's unconscious."

Pei Xiang squeezed Garfield's ankle again to make sure that the person did not have a sprained ankle, and that her cry of pain before was all fake.

Rexxar came out from behind the curtain, frowning and looking at the unconscious Miss Garfield, her eyes were full of cold vigilance.

"What is she going to do?"

"I don't know. However, as long as you leave her alone in this room, you will know the truth. George, you should leave alone first, go back to rest and recuperate, and I will deal with the matter here."

If it wasn't for Rexxar who was hiding in the house and was in a hurry to leave, Pei Xiang would not have chosen to knock this strange Miss Garfield into a coma.She would follow Miss Garfield's request to leave the room first, and then secretly observe her next move.

However, the current situation is fine, as long as Miss Garfield wakes up for a while, and seriously finds an excuse to lie, it may be possible to fool her.

Rexxar shook his head without hesitation, of course he was worried about leaving Pei Xiang alone in this unknown trouble:

"I'll leave secretly through the corner gate first, and then come back through the main gate. Don't wake her up during this time, and deal with it together after I return."

Pei Xiang glanced at the tired and pale lips between Rexxar's brows, hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded slightly under his persistent gaze.

"Okay, I'll wait for you, and promise not to do anything messy."

Rexxar looked at the obediently nodding girlfriend, his eyes softened.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed Pei Xiang's hair, then leaned over and kissed the girl's smooth forehead, before turning around and leaving quickly.

Pei Xiang, who promised not to cause trouble, stood beside the unconscious Miss Garfield, and suddenly felt a little bored.
