       When they got home, Auntie Luo heard the voice and came out of the room. She pulled up the lapels of her pyjamas and told them that Zhan Pengcheng had just called and said he would not be back tonight.

       Pei Qing nodded, “Okay.”

       Auntie Luo said to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, go to bed early. You have to go to class tomorrow.”

       Zhan Weiyang let out a ‘hmm’.

       Auntie Luo then went back to her room and locked the door gently.

       On the second floor, Pei Qing asked Zhan Weiyang to take a shower first. He walked to the balcony alone and finally stopped in front of the flower pot.

       He was in a complicated mood.

       Tonight, Zhan Weiyang plus Chen Youyou both spoke indistinctly, but even so, he was still able to roughly piece together the whole picture.

       What kind of dating System it was and who to pursue were not important. The most important thing was that he kew that Zhan Weiyang was hallucinating.

       Unable to explain why, for a moment Pei Qing felt a little scared.

       He had been used to being independent since he was a child. If he wanted something, he would work hard and fight for it. There was rarely anything he couldn’t grasp.

       But now he had this feeling.

       Who knew when Zhan Weiyang’s points in that System would be completely deducted? Maybe they’d be gone by tomorrow. What would happen to Zhan Weiyang then? He certainly wouldn’t actually turn into a tree. Maybe he’d wake up one day and realise he hadn’t turned into a tree, suddenly realising that it had all been an illusion and delusion. Just like Zhan Weiguang had said before, maybe then he would understand. 

       But what if he couldn’t? What if he really felt that he had turned into a tree, without consciousness, unable to communicate, clearly alive yet as if he were dead?

       Pei Qing shuddered because of this thought. He squatted down in front of the flower pot and reached out to touch the cold ceramic surface to stop his bad imagination. After a while, Zhan Weiyang finished taking a shower and walked to the balcony to find Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing stood up and held out his hand to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, come here.”

       Zhan Weiyang walked towards him, held his hand, was pulled in front of him, and gently hugged him from behind.

       Pei Qing put his arm around Zhan Weiyang’s waist. He turned his head, kissed Zhan Weiyang’s forehead, and said, “Is there any way we can stop you from turning into a tree?”

       Zhan Weiyang was thinking seriously.

       Pei Qing never interrupted him.

       After a long while, Zhan Weiyang lowered his head and said, “Maybe I should go after—” He paused for a long time in the middle and finally said, “Xie Ling.”

       Pei Qing was not angry but just asked him, “Do you like Xie Ling?”

       Zhan Weiyang turned back and looked up at him, seeming a little surprised.

       Pei Qing said in a gentle tone, “Do you like him?”

       Zhan Weiyang answered without thinking, “I only like you.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “Then it means you would rather turn into a tree to like me?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Pei Qing took a deep breath and said, “I’m very happy.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Then I’m happy too.”

       Pei Qing couldn’t help hugging him tightly. After a while, he continued to ask, “Then do we have any other solutions?”

       Zhan Weiyang replied, “I don’t know.”

       Pei Qing said, “It doesn’t matter. Let’s think of a solution together, okay?”

       “What solution?” Zhan Weiyang asked anxiously.

       Pei Qing said, “Let’s go find a doctor, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang’s body stiffened all of a sudden.

       Pei Qing held him in his arms so he could clearly feel that he held Zhan Weiyang’s cold hand, rubbing his fingers gently to make him less nervous, and said to him, “The doctor may be able to cure you?”

       Zhan Weiyang asked, “How? Are you going to cut me open?”

       Pei Qing said, “That probably wouldn’t be necessary. At most, they are just going to use scissors to trim your leaves a bit.”

       “Huh?” Zhan Weiyang was a little scared.

       Pei Qing immediately said, “No, doctors won’t do that, I’m just teasing you.”

       Zhan Weiyang asked him, “What will happen then?”

       Pei Qing said, “You should be given medicine.”

       Zhan Weiyang frowned slightly.

       Pei Qing continued, “As long as you take medicine every day, maybe you won’t turn into a tree.”

       Zhan Weiyang asked him, “Is there such medicine?”

       Pei Qing said, “Yes.”

       Zhan Weiyang was a little nervous, “But I don’t want to see a doctor, and I don’t want to take medicine.”

       Pei Qing gently patted the back of his hand, paused for a moment, and asked, “Is it more terrible than leaving me?”

       Zhan Weiyang was stunned and didn’t answer.

       Pei Qing continued, “It’s not just me. There’s also Grandma and your dad. Think about it, Grandma has trouble with her legs and can’t even get up to the second floor, so she wouldn’t be able to see you anymore. Dad is so busy with work, he might not have time to water you. What would you do in the long run?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “But there is still you.”

       “One day, my internship will be over. What will you do if I leave? You will never see me again.”

       Zhan Weiyang turned his head to look at him in panic.

       Pei Qing said, “I can still take you with me if you are like this now. If you’re planted inside a flower pot, how can I take you away?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought about it seriously, “You can carry me away.”

       Pei Qing said, “What if your Dad and Grandma miss you? You can’t come back by yourself. You can’t ask me to carry you back with the flower pot, right?”

       Zhan Weiyang became depressed.

       Pei Qing said, “How is it? Do you want to see a doctor?”

       Zhan Weiyang leaned his head against Pei Qing’s arms and whispered, “I’m scared.”

       Pei Qing didn’t ask him why he was scared. If it was like what Zhan Weiguang said, Zhan Weiyang should have seen many doctors since he was a child. Who knew what he had gone through during that time, but it was clear he didn’t want to go through it again.

       Zhan Weiyang was very sad. He hugged Pei Qing’s waist and said, “What should I do?”

       Pei Qing had no better way, so she could only say, “Can’t I accompany you?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer.

       Pei Qing suddenly said, “Then it means I would never be able to wait for Yangyang to be eighteen years old.”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly looked up at him.

       Pei Qing’s tone was full of regret, “I thought Yangyang would be eighteen years old soon.” He lowered his head while speaking and stroked Zhan Weiyang’s hair with his hand.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “That’s right.”

       Pei Qing patted his head, “Go to bed. You have to go to school tomorrow.” After that, without waiting for Zhan Weiyang to answer, he retracted his hand, left the balcony and walked towards the corridor.

       Zhan Weiyang couldn’t fall asleep lying in bed at night.

       He kept thinking about his eighteenth birthday. He regretted not reaching eighteen, as if he would miss out on some of the most important things in life.

       Zhan Weiyang first lay on his back, then, after a long time of not being able to sleep, he turned onto his stomach and pulled the blanket up over his head. He quietly counted in his mind, not knowing why he was counting or what the result would be.

       There were many complicated emotions in his heart, but his brain couldn’t handle these emotions, and the only result was discomfort.

       He heard his heartbeat was very intense, and then it became a buzzing sound. He seemed to hear someone talking to him, but he couldn’t hear what they were saying.

       At that moment, he thought, if he really turned into a tree, then he wouldn’t have to be so uncomfortable.

       He lay down, imagining that he was a living tree that couldn’t move or think. His body was very heavy, sinking deeply into the mattress, and everything in front of him was still as a painting that would never move again.

       At this moment, he suddenly thought of Pei Qing, saying that he couldn’t wait for him to be eighteen again. He had to wait until he was eighteen to make love to Pei Qing!

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. He heard his heartbeat, which had just gradually slowed down and stopped, become more intense. He was very scared, so he threw off the quilt, got out of bed and walked out of the room quickly.

       In this late autumn weather, it was quite a happy thing to sit in a grilled fish restaurant and eat fish around a grill plate with the charcoal fire still burning.

       Pei Qing sat next to Zhan Weiyang, casually putting some fish and vegetables on his plate. He watched as Zhan Weiyang focused on eating, revealing a small section of his clean, fair neck.

       Chen Youyou sat opposite them. While stuffing food into his mouth, he said vaguely, “My mom, doesn’t allow me to eat this, because she says, it’s making my body hot.”

       Pei Qing smiled, “If you eat too much, your body will get hot. You can drink more water.”

       Chen Youyou nodded.

       Zhan Weiyang put down his chopsticks and looked up at Pei Qing, “Why are you in our school?”

       “I came to pick you up from school and treat you to dinner,” Pei Qing said with a slight smile.

       Chen Youyou said, “Then, you can come often.”

       Pei Qing nodded and said, “No problem. Whenever you want to go out for food, just contact me, and I’ll pick you up.”

       Chen Youyou hurriedly said, “Okay.”

       But Pei Qing noticed that Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer.

       Zhan Weiyang still seemed a little absent-minded. He picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. As soon as he swallowed it, he was choked by the chilli and couldn’t help but cover his mouth and cough.

       Pei Qing picked up the water cup and handed it over, saying, “Drink some water.”

       Zhan Weiyang quickly took it and drank a sip of water, but his face was still red from coughing.

       Pei Qing handed him a tissue to wipe his mouth. Zhan Weiyang’s eyes were also a little red. He wiped his mouth carefully, rolled up the tissue and threw it into the trash can beside the table, then looked up at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing asked him, “Are you happy at school recently?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked a little confused. Chen Youyou didn’t pay attention to this and concentrated on looking for the lotus root slices he liked in the baking tray.

       Pei Qing picked up his water cup, drank slowly from the straw, and asked Zhan Weiyang, “No one bullies you in school, right?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head.

       Pei Qing asked, “How was the midterm exam?”

       Zhan Weiyang turned his face away nervously, grabbed the chopsticks with his right hand in a panic, and pinched the edge of the table with his left hand.

       Pei Qing smiled and said to him gently, “It doesn’t matter. I won’t blame you whether you do well in the exam or not. What can’t you tell gege?”

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then raised his head and leaned close to Pei Qing’s ear. He put one hand over Pei Qing’s ear and whispered, “I didn’t do well in the exam.” After that, he looked at Pei Qing with some guilt.

       Pei Qing then leaned close to him, lowered his voice and said, “It doesn’t matter.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him.

       Pei Qing continued, “It doesn’t matter whether you do well in the exam or not. We just need to find out why you didn’t do well.”

       Unexpectedly, Zhan Weiyang immediately replied, “Because there is something wrong with my head.”

       Pei Qing was stunned by what he said. When he reacted, he immediately raised his hand and put it on Zhan Weiyang’s head, saying, “Who said that? Don’t talk nonsense.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t even have the mood to eat. He stared at the smoking grill in front of him silently, and his chopsticks didn’t move for a long time.

       Pei Qing helped him pick up a lot of meat and vegetables and put them on the small plate in front of him. Seeing that he didn’t move his chopsticks, he said, “Do you want me to feed you?”

       Zhan Weiyang picked up the chopsticks and ate without much appetite.

       Although Chen Youyou was eating, he also noticed the conversation between the two of them. Feeling that the atmosphere was not right, he chose to remain silent and only secretly glanced at them from time to time.

       Pei Qing didn’t say anything else. He waited until Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou had almost finished eating and everyone slowed down, then suddenly asked Zhan Weiyang, “Have you lost all your points?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him suddenly, his face pale.

       Chen Youyou was also stunned for a moment and looked at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing turned to Chen Youyou and asked, “Youyou, do you know how many points Zhan Weiyang has deducted?”

       Chen Youyou was completely unprepared and said in a daze, “No, I don’t know.”

       Pei Qing continued, “He said that when his points are deducted, he will turn into a tree. Did he tell you?”

       Chen Youyou had almost forgotten about this matter. When Pei Qing suddenly mentioned it, he suddenly remembered it and said, “Oh— I remember, he said this.” He was a little unsure of what Pei Qing meant and couldn’t help but look at Zhan Weiyang’s expression when he spoke.

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head vigorously at him.

       Pei Qing asked, “What is he being deducted for?”

       Zhan Weiyang was still shaking his head at Chen Youyou, and Chen Youyou didn’t dare to continue. He hesitated and wanted to answer that he didn’t know, but “I, I—” Pei Qing interrupted him before he finished speaking.

       Pei Qing said, “I just invited you to dinner today, can you bear to lie to me?”

       Chen Youyou’s eyes widened, thinking about what he should do. Pei Qing had not only invited him to dinner but also drove him home and gave him his coat. If he didn’t answer Pei Qing, he would truly feel uncomfortable. He could only look at Zhan Weiyang and say, “Isn’t this your older cousin? Is there anything you can’t tell him?”

       Zhan Weiyang wanted to stop him, but before he opened his mouth, he heard Pei Qing say in a deep voice, “Yangyang.” He then glanced at Pei Qing nervously, unable to speak.

       Chen Youyou said, “He, said he has a S-system, in his head.”

       “What?” Pei Qing didn’t understand for a while.

       Chen Youyou had to repeat, “A System.”

       “What System?” Pei Qing frowned slightly.

       Chen Youyou couldn’t remember too clearly at the moment, but he did recall that Zhan Weiyang’s previous pursuit of Xie Ling seemed to be related. He said, “It’s some sort of, a dating System, you must t-talk to that person…” He spoke more and more quietly because he saw that Zhan Weiyang was really anxious.

       Pei Qing patiently asked, “Who?”

       Chen Youyou was embarrassed and said, “Older cousin, don’t, treat me like this… Y-you look at Zhan Weiyang.”

       Pei Qing turned his head and saw Zhan Weiyang staring at Chen Youyou with red eyes.

       He was a little helpless, and after hesitating for a while, he could only say, “Alright then, I won’t ask you anymore.”

       Chen Youyou breathed a sigh of relief. He grabbed the cup on the table and drank a big sip of water. He looked at Pei Qing and then at Zhan Weiyang. He really wanted to leave, but he was embarrassed to do so.

       Pei Qing stretched out a hand and pressed it on Zhan Weiyang’s shoulder.

       Zhan Weiyang then turned his eyes away and looked at him with a somewhat pitiful and aggrieved expression.

       Pei Qing gently pinched his soft neck with her hand, soothing his emotions, and said, “It’s nothing, be good.”

       Zhan Weiyang’s chest rose and fell twice.

       Pei Qing asked them, “Have you eaten? Let’s go after you’re done.”

       Chen Youyou immediately replied, “I’m done!”

       Pei Qing came directly from the company today and did not drive. They left the mall, where they had dinner and stood on the roadside to call a taxi for Chen Youyou.

       Pei Qing sent Chen Youyou to the car, bent over, and said to him through the open car door, “Be careful. Send a message when you get home.”

       Chen Youyou nodded, but he couldn’t help but look at Zhan Weiyang, and he found that Zhan Weiyang didn’t look at him.

       Pei Qing stood up straight, raised his hand to close the car door, and the taxi quickly took Chen Youyou away.

       Only Zhan Weiyang and Pei Qing were left.

       Zhan Weiyang was a little scared for some reason, and he subconsciously turned around and wanted to hide.

       Pei Qing reached out and held his shoulders, pulled him back, made Zhan Weiyang face him, and said, “Do you want to tell me yourself?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t look at him.

       Pei Qing continued to ask, “Who do you have to date?”

       Zhan Weiyang still didn’t say anything.

       Pei Qing let go of his hand, and after a while, he sighed softly and asked Zhan Weiyang, “Are your points almost all gone?”

       Zhan Weiyang seemed a little nervous and nodded.

       Pei Qing said, “When you become a tree, you will never be able to talk to me again. Are you still unwilling to tell me now?”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his head and looked at him palely.

       Pei Qing said to him, “If one morning, I wake up and go into your room, I only see a fortune tree lying on the bed, and I don’t know why. Do you think it’s fair to me?”

       Zhan Weiyang said in a panic, “No, I will bury the soil in the flowerpot myself.”

       “So you really don’t want to tell me anything before you get into the flowerpot?”

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head and didn’t speak.

       After a long time, Pei Qing noticed something was wrong. He bent down and looked closer at Zhan Weiyang and found that he was crying.

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t make a sound but just shed tears silently. When he found that Pei Qing looked at him, he raised his red eyes, wiped the tears on his cheeks with his fingers, and said, “I can’t bear to leave you.”

       At that moment, Pei Qing couldn’t tell what he felt, but he felt that his whole heart softened with sourness. He reached out and hugged Zhan Weiyang in his arms, saying, “Don’t be afraid. You won’t leave me.”

       Zhan Weiyang was in a bad mood. He failed again, and he had less and less time.

       Since that day when it drizzled, the weather has seemed constantly rainy and gloomy, making people feel downhearted as well.

       During this period, with the midterm exams, Zhan Weiyang’s mind went completely blank when he received his test paper.

       His grades were not good to begin with, and Zhan Pengcheng spent money and used his connections to arrange for him to enter this middle school. The teachers did not have any expectations for him, so they usually did not pay attention to him.

       In the end, Zhan Weiyang was distracted during the entire exam and only got a few questions right when he finally handed in his paper for correction.

       According to Zhan Weiyang’s usual level, it would not be like this.

       So as soon as the exam was over, the teacher couldn’t help but call his parents.

       It happened that Zhan Pengcheng had a very important work meeting that day, and he really couldn’t go to school. After consideration, the matter was entrusted to Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing took half a day off from the company where he was interning and went to Zhan Weiyang’s school in the afternoon.

       When he entered the school gate, it was right after class had ended. As he walked to the teaching building, he attracted the attention of countless girls. When he walked into the building and up the stairs, every passerby, whether male or female, glanced at him.

       When he walked to Zhan Weiyang’s class teacher’s office, the homeroom teacher was talking to other teachers and didn’t notice him.

       Pei Qing knocked on the door and said, “Hello, I am Zhan Weiyang’s older cousin.”

       The three teachers in the office turned their heads at the same time. The homeroom teacher was a woman in her early 40s. Seeing Pei Qing, she frowned slightly and said, “Where is his father?”

       Pei Qing replied, “Sorry Teacher, my uncle really can’t find the time, but he told me that I should carefully report the issues you mentioned to him when I get back.”

       It was obvious that the homeroom teacher was still very dissatisfied but only reluctantly accepted. She invited Pei Qing to come in and then took the report card of the midterm exam to Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing picked up the score sheet and looked at it silently.

       The homeroom teacher said, “Since you are here, take a picture and take it back to his father, I won’t send him WeChat.”

       Pei Qing nodded and took a picture with his mobile phone.

       The homeroom teacher said, “Zhan Weiyang’s situation is quite special. Since the school has arranged for him to be in my class, I can understand. I have no prejudice against him. Although his grades have always been poor, he is still obedient. In the past, he always answered the questions seriously regardless of whether he could do them or not. But this time, he was obviously absent-minded.”

       After saying that, the homeroom teacher took out the math test paper she taught and showed it to Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing saw that several big questions at the back of the test paper were blank.

       The homeroom teacher said, “If he had written a little bit of the solution to the problem, he wouldn’t have failed to get a single point.”

       Pei Qing nodded sincerely and said, “I agree.”

       At this time, the class bell rang, and the young female teacher at the desk next to her picked up the book and stood up, passed by Pei Qing and went out to the office to teach the students.

       Outside the office, the originally noisy environment gradually quieted down, and the students of the whole school went back to the classroom to prepare for class.

       The homeroom teacher’s voice also subconsciously lowered. She said to Pei Qing, “I wanted to talk to him first, but I was afraid that I couldn’t control the degree of speaking. Do you understand?”

       Pei Qing responded, “I understand.”

       The homeroom teacher said, “That’s why I want to call his father to tell him about Zhan Weiyang’s situation in detail so that I could analyse why he’s become like this recently, but it turns out that this father is still irresponsible.”

       Pei Qing had to explain, “He really can’t get away from work.”

       The homeroom teacher’s tone was a little stern, “What is there to be unable to leave? Is there anything more important than the child’s learning status? Besides, Zhan Weiyang is not an ordinary child!”

       Pei Qing listened quietly and did not explain again.

       The homeroom teacher said, “That’s it, you go back and talk to his father first, find out the reason for Zhan Weiyang’s recent state, if he has time to come to school, we will talk in detail.”

       She felt that Pei Qing looked too young and seemed unwilling to spend too much time communicating with Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing said, “Okay, thank you, Teacher.”

       After leaving the teacher’s office, it was already the last class of the afternoon. Pei Qing didn’t leave the school immediately. Instead, he walked to Zhan Weiyang’s classroom and stood outside the window near the back door, looking inside.

       He found Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang was looking at the blackboard with one hand supporting his chin, looking very focused, but his eyes were obviously empty.

       Pei Qing was a little worried.

       Zhan Weiyang’s condition was not right, of course, not only in this midterm exam. Pei Qing had noticed that he was a little abnormal since Zhan Weiyang said he had no time.

       It had been raining heavily in recent days, and Pei Qing found that Zhan Weiyang spent a lot of energy on his flower pots. Sometimes, he dragged his flower pots to the eaves near the balcony door to shelter from the rain and dragged them over again when he saw the rain stopped. He tossed and turned as if he was not satisfied with where he put them.

       Pei Qing suspected that if the flower pot was not too big and too heavy, Zhan Weiyang might have carried it to his bed and curled himself up in it to sleep at night.

       Pei Qing tried to talk to him about this matter again, but Zhan Weiyang refused to talk about it.

       Zhan Weiyang was not upset. He still relied on Pei Qing. He liked kissing and hugging him, but he didn’t want to talk about the topic that he didn’t have much time.

       Pei Qing wanted to find Chen Youyou, but they had a midterm exam. He felt that the timing was not right, so he delayed it until now.

       Today, Pei Qing wanted to figure this out anyway.

       He found that a student sitting in the back row of the classroom noticed him and turned to look out the window, so he stepped back from the classroom door and walked along the corridor to the stairwell. He stopped and stood against the wall with his arms folded in front of his chest.

       Waiting for the end of get out of class was a long time. Pei Qing didn’t play with his phone because he was worried. He just stood there quietly.

       Until the end of class, when students excitedly ran out of the classroom, he stood at the stairway, so nearly everyone had to pass by him, and inevitably, many would look at him.

       Pei Qing looked young, but his temperament was no longer like a high school student. In addition, his appearance was really outstanding, so it was hard not to attract attention when he appeared on campus.

       This feeling of being watched by everyone was not pleasant, but Pei Qing had been accustomed to other people’s eyes since he was a child, so he could stay at ease.

       After five or six minutes had passed and most of the students had already left the teaching building, Pei Qing still hadn’t seen Zhan Weiyang and the others come out, so he walked again toward Zhan Weiyang’s classroom.

       The back door of the classroom was open. Pei Qing walked to the door and saw Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou had not left yet. The two of them were slowly cleaning the table while chatting about something.

       When Pei Qing walked in, they didn’t notice it at first, until Pei Qing walked to the front of their desks and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you to dinner.”

       Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou were both startled.

       Especially Zhan Weiyang, he looked up with a shocked face and looked at Pei Qing for a long time without saying a word.

       Pei Qing picked up one of them in each hand and led them out of the classroom, asking at the same time, “What do you want to eat for dinner?”

       Zhan Weiyang still didn’t react.

       After a long while, Chen Youyou stammered, “E-eat grilled fish.”

       Pei Qing looked down at Zhan Weiyang and saw that he didn’t object, so he said, “Okay, let’s eat grilled fish.”

       Zhan Weiyang finished his shower, returned to his room, and lay flat on the bed. Perhaps because of his excitement, he lay very flat, with his hands beside him and tightly pressed against his thighs.

       There was a sound coming from outside the door, Zhan Weiyang guessed that Pei Qing went to take a shower, and he continued to wait patiently. After about twenty minutes, Pei Qing pushed open his door and walked in gently.

       Pei Qing, wearing pyjamas, walked to Zhan Weiyang’s bed, squatted down and reached out to touch his hair, “Still not asleep?”

       Zhan Weiyang did not answer. He just hurriedly moved to the side, leaving half of the bed for Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing smiled at him, “What’s wrong today?”

       Zhan Weiyang urged him, “Come up quickly.”

       Pei Qing looked at him for a while and finally took off his shoes and went to bed. He covered himself with the same quilt as Zhan Weiyang and said, “Do you want me to coax you to sleep today?” He propped his head with one hand and lay on his side facing Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything. After a while, he came over, hugged Pei Qing’s waist and kissed him.

       Pei Qing kissed Zhan Weiyang gently at first, but then he began to feel that Zhan Weiyang was rubbing against him, so he reached out, held his waist, and said, “What are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked up at him, a little confused, “Didn’t you drink?”

       Pei Qing’s voice was hoarse, “So?”

       Zhan Weiyang said innocently, “Isn’t it said that drinking alcohol will cause that?”

       Pei Qing looked at him and asked, “You mean doing something reckless after drinking?”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly felt embarrassed and buried his face in Pei Qing’s arms.

       Pei Qing laughed and said to him, “Sex after drinking is actually an excuse for irresponsibility.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t understand and looked up at him.

       Pei Qing reached out and rubbed Zhan Weiyang’s hair, “Didn’t we agree to wait until you were eighteen?”

       Zhan Weiyang said to him, “But Chen Youyou said we didn’t have to wait until we were eighteen.”

       Pei Qing was silent for a moment and asked him, “Why did you tell Chen Youyou everything?”

       “I didn’t,” Zhan Weiyang whispered, “I didn’t tell him.”

       Pei Qing sighed softly and told Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, do you know why it’s eighteen?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head.

       Pei Qing said to him, “That’s a dividing line when you reach maturity both physically and mentally.” At this point, Pei Qing paused for a moment. He thought Zhan Weiyang might never reach that dividing line of complete maturity, but he continued, “You can date now, but some things are not good for you now, do you know?”

       Zhan Weiyang seemed to understand and didn’t seem to understand.

       Pei Qing had many thoughts. Of course, it was not just waiting for the right time for Zhan Weiyang to mature physically and mentally, as he said, but more of it was because he couldn’t get over his own hurdle. Just like he refused to kiss Zhan Weiyang before, he often felt an inexplicable sense of guilt when facing Zhan Weiyang. He couldn’t tell it, and he didn’t know whether he was right or wrong.

       Today, when he was with Zhan Pengcheng and heard Zhan Pengcheng’s words that he was worried that no one would take care of Zhan Weiyang in the future, he wanted to tell Zhan Pengcheng that he was willing to take care of Zhan Weiyang.

       But so what? The care that Zhan Pengcheng wanted might not be the same as his care. He didn’t even know whether what Zhan Weiyang needed was the same as what he needed.

       Pei Qing kept telling himself to wait a little longer, even if, as Zhan Weiyang said, there was no difference between seventeen and eighteen. However, the one who really needed this time was not Zhan Weiyang but Pei Qing herself.

       He reached out and hugged Zhan Weiyang, saying, “Go to sleep.”

       Zhan Weiyang was very disappointed and asked him, “Is it still not possible?”

       Pei Qing said, “No, eighteen is the bottom line, not even one day earlier.”

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head and counted how many months he had left before he turned eighteen. After a while, he said, “What if I can’t wait until that day?”

       Pei Qing was a little surprised and looked at him, “What are you talking about?”

       Zhan Weiyang was not only disappointed but also a little unhappy. He said sullenly, “I may not be able to wait for that day.”

       Pei Qing didn’t expect him to say such a thing and asked him, “Why can’t you wait?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer. After a while, he whispered, “I told you.”

       Pei Qing pulled his shoulders, made him look at him, and said in a serious tone, “What’s going on?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I said I would become a tree.”

       Pei Qing asked him, “When will you become a tree? Will you become a tree at the age of eighteen?” When he asked questions, his tone became more and more serious.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “No, I said when the points are deducted.”

       Pei Qing said, “But you didn’t tell me what’s deducting your points.”

       Zhan Weiyang felt that he was pinching his shoulders very hard, and he struggled a little.

       Pei Qing then let him go, slowed down his tone and said to him, “Yangyang, can you tell gege?”

       Zhan Weiyang finally shook his head.

       He sat quietly for a while and suddenly raised his hand to take off his clothes. Pei Qing quickly held his hand to prevent him from moving.

       Zhan Weiyang said anxiously, “I don’t have time.”

       Pei Qing saw him trying to struggle, so he simply opened his arms and held him, trapping him in his embrace. He said, “No, you need to explain it to me first. What points deduction? What about turning into a tree?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything. After a while, Pei Qing saw that he had closed his eyes.

       “Yangyang?” Pei Qing called him. Zhan Weiyang closed his eyes and didn’t respond.

       “Asleep?”

       Zhan Weiyang still didn’t respond.

       Pei Qing wanted to wake him up and ask him to speak clearly, but seeing that Zhan Weiyang had his eyes closed, he really couldn’t bear it, so he finally helped him lie down and covered him with the quilt.

       After doing all this, Pei Qing didn’t get up immediately but waited quietly for a while until he heard Zhan Weiyang’s light and even breathing. Then he slowly got up and got out of bed.

       He stood by the bed, reached out to turn off the light, and when he fell into darkness, he still stared at the sleeping figure on the bed.

       An unspeakable anxiety gradually surged up.

       He realised that Zhan Weiyang’s condition was not right before because it was not convenient to tell Zhan Pengcheng directly, so he specially communicated with Zhan Weiguang. At that time, Zhan Weiguang told him not to worry, and he also thought that Zhan Weiyang’s attention would be diverted over time and he would get better, but now it seemed that this was not the case. He didn’t know whether the things in Zhan Weiyang’s head should be called hallucinations or delusions, but it was obviously abnormal.

       Pei Qing left Zhan Weiyang’s room and returned to his own. He sat down by the bed, unable to sleep, pondering what he should do.

       He didn’t know whether he should tell Zhan Pengcheng first. After all, Zhan Pengcheng was Zhan Weiyang’s guardian, but he was afraid that Zhan Pengcheng would be repulsed by his interference in these matters.

       If he took Zhan Weiyang to see a doctor himself, Zhan Weiyang would probably resist. He still remembered how much Zhan Weiyang didn’t want to go to the hospital.

       Pei Qing raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He thought he had to ask Zhan Weiyang first. Even if Zhan Weiyang would resist, he must know what was going on with him.

       When lying on the bed, Pei Qing suddenly thought of someone—Chen Youyou.

       Since Zhan Weiyang had a good friend who could talk about everything, maybe Chen Youyou would know what kind of mess Zhan Weiyang was thinking about in his little head.

       Towards the end of the week, Zhan Pengcheng took advantage of his rare lack of work schedule to take the family out for another meal.

       Today, he didn’t drive and instead took a cab so that he could have a drink with Pei Qing in the evening.

       Pei Qing was fine with it, but when he heard Zhan Pengcheng say that he wanted to drink, he could not help asking, “Uncle, do you want to drink more?” He felt that Zhan Pengcheng drank too much alcohol every day at social gatherings outside, and it might be bad for his health.

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Of course I have to drink. Why? Don’t you want to drink with Uncle?”

       Pei Qing could only smile and responded, “Then I will definitely accompany you.”

       That night, Zhan Pengcheng drank a lot of wine. He said that it was mainly because he was in a good mood. While drinking, he stretched out a hand and pressed it on Pei Qing’s shoulder, saying, “You are really a good person, xiao Qing.”

       Although Pei Qing drank, he was still sober. He smiled and did not speak.

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Yangyang is really well-behaved.”

       Pei Qing nodded and said, “Yes.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said in a low voice, leaning close to Pei Qing, sighing, “It’s just that I’m too busy at work and don’t have enough time to take care of him.”

       “It can’t be helped.” Pei Qing knew that Zhan Pengcheng was very busy and tired. With such a big family, two children who were still in school, and a mother who was in poor health, he had to shoulder all the burdens.

       Zhan Pengcheng usually didn’t say these words, but today after drinking and feeling that Pei Qing was already an adult, he couldn’t help but confide a few words, “Weiguang doesn’t play with him either. I’ve told him many times, but he’s still so irresponsible even though he’s already in college.”

       Pei Qing glanced at Zhan Weiyang and saw that Zhan Weiyang was peeling shrimp shells obediently. He whispered to Zhan Pengcheng, “Weiguang is actually very good to Yangyang, but he just doesn’t like to express it.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “I know, but his brother doesn’t know. You see, Yangyang doesn’t like Weiguang and likes to play with you.”

       Pei Qing didn’t say anything. “Speaking of this,” Zhan Pengcheng raised his glass, “Come, today, your uncle must give you a toast.”

       Pei Qing quickly raised his glass and said, “Uncle, you are too kind.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “I know that during the two or three months since you came here, Yangyang has caused you a lot of trouble, and you have taken care of Yangyang a lot. Your uncle is really grateful to you, and I don’t know what I can do for you.”

       Pei Qing said, “No worries about that. We are all family.”

       Zhan Pengcheng sighed, “Yes, family. You are only three years older than Weiguang, but your personality is much calmer than his.”

       Pei Qing said, “He has just entered college. The only difference between him and me is the social experience of college. It’s normal.”

       Zhan Pengcheng laughed when he heard it, and couldn’t help patting Pei Qing’s shoulder with his hand, “Uncle likes you too much.”

       Pei Qing smiled lightly.

       When they returned home after dinner, Zhan Pengcheng was drunk. This time he was really drunk. He held Pei Qing’s shoulders all the way from the private room to the restaurant door and chatted with him incoherently. He talked for a long time but couldn’t say a word clearly.

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Zhan Pengcheng unhappily and said, “Dad, you’ve drunk too much.”

       Zhan Pengcheng heard it, turned around to find Zhan Weiyang, and suddenly seemed surprised. He said, “Yangyang, how did you grow up so big secretly?” He stretched out his hand and pinched Zhan Weiyang’s face.

       Drunk people didn’t know the severity of the situation. Zhan Weiyang screamed when he was pinched, and when Zhan Pengcheng let go of his hand, Zhan Weiyang found that his face was pinched red.

       Pei Qing called a car when they went back. He first called a car for Zhan Weiyang to accompany his grandmother and Auntie Luo back, and he called another car to help Zhan Pengcheng get in.

       Zhan Pengcheng squinted his eyes and raised his head. After a while, he leaned towards Pei Qing again and said in a low voice, “I have no choice. If I don’t make more money, what will happen to Yangyang in the future? Who should I leave him to after I’m gone? Is there any girl willing to marry him?”

       Pei Qing glanced at Zhan Pengcheng and said softly, “Uncle, don’t worry, someone will take care of him.”

       Zhan Pengcheng probably didn’t hear it.

       Back home, Zhan Weiyang and Pei Qing helped Zhan Pengcheng to his room together. Zhan Pengcheng was already drunk and almost unconscious. As soon as he lay on the bed, he closed his eyes and began to snore.

       Pei Qing stood at the end of the bed and helped him take off his shoes. He looked up and saw Zhan Weiyang standing at the head of the bed, gently patting Zhan Pengcheng’s face with his hands and calling him, “Dad? Dad?”

       “Don’t bother him,” Pei Qing said, “Let him sleep.”

       Zhan Weiyang turned his head to look at Pei Qing, then looked at Zhan Pengcheng worriedly and said to him, “Dad, you drank too much.”

       Zhan Pengcheng was still snoring.

       Pei Qing looked at Zhan Pengcheng lying on the bed and said to Zhan Weiyang, “Help your dad take off his clothes and pants, I’ll get a towel to wipe his face, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Pei Qing entered the bathroom inside Zhan Pengcheng’s room. He looked at the towels hanging on the wall and didn’t know which one was which. He just picked the one that looked the cleanest, wet it with hot water and wrung it dry.

       When he came back to the room, he saw Zhan Weiyang struggling to help Zhan Pengcheng take off his trousers, saying with difficulty, “Dad, you can’t drink so much in the future.”

       Pei Qing came to help Zhan Weiyang, took off Zhan Pengcheng’s trousers, opened the quilt to cover him, and then wiped his face with a towel. When Pei Qing put the towel back in the bathroom, washed it and hung it up before coming out, he saw Zhan Weiyang still standing by the bed, looking at Zhan Pengcheng worriedly. He walked over and said, “It’s okay, uncle is asleep.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked up at Pei Qing. Pei Qing patted his shoulder, “Let’s go out and let him sleep.”

       Zhan Weiyang followed Pei Qing out, and saw Pei Qing gently close the door, and then said, “I’m a little scared.”

       Pei Qing turned around and looked down at him, “What are you afraid of?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head, “I don’t know.”

       Pei Qing knew that he was still a child and comforted him, “It’s really okay. Your dad is just drunk. He will be fine tomorrow morning when he sobers up.”

       After that, Pei Qing planned to go back to his room. He walked to the door and found that Zhan Weiyang was still following him closely, so he turned back and asked, “What’s wrong?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him and asked, “Why aren’t you drunk?”

       Pei Qing bent down and said to him softly, “I’m drunk too, but not as drunk as your dad.”

       Zhan Weiyang got close to him and smelled it.

       Pei Qing asked, “Do you smell alcohol?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Pei Qing asked him again, “Does it smell bad?”

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head, hesitated for a moment and said, “No.”

       Pei Qing smiled, suddenly held up Zhan Weiyang’s face, kissed him hard, and said when he let go, “It’s good that it doesn’t.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him nervously, with his hands behind his back and scratching his fingers hard, and said, “Can I sleep with you tonight?”

       Pei Qing glanced in the direction of Zhan Pengcheng’s room. Although the door was tightly closed, it was always unclear whether it would be opened from the inside at the next moment, so he said, “No, go back to sleep by yourself. Be good.”

       After speaking, Pei Qing turned around and wanted to go back to the room. At this time, he felt someone grabbing his clothes. He turned around and saw Zhan Weiyang looking up at him.

       Zhan Weiyang seemed to have mustered up the courage and said, “Then can I sleep for a while? I will go back later, okay?”

       Pei Qing was silent for a moment and whispered to him, “You take a shower and go back to the room, I will come to you later.” After speaking, he smiled and kissed Zhan Weiyang’s face and retreated to his room.

       Zhan Weiyang looked in Pei Qing’s direction and was about to run over when he suddenly heard Xie Ling calling his name again, “Zhan Weiyang.”

       He stopped and looked at Xie Ling in confusion.

       Xie Ling said, “My bicycle—”

       “Zhan Weiyang!” At this time, Zhan Weiyang heard Pei Qing calling him again.

       Pei Qing put one arm on the edge of the car window, looking outside, and called his name in a tone he had never used before, which sounded a little cold and hard.

       Zhan Weiyang was frightened, and he quickly turned around and ran towards Pei Qing.

       Chen Youyou saw Zhan Weiyang leaving and hurriedly followed him. He walked behind Zhan Weiyang and saw Zhan Weiyang open the passenger door and sit in. After hesitating, he sat in the back seat himself.

       After Zhan Weiyang got in the car, he still looked at Pei Qing with fear and trepidation, not knowing what he had done wrong.

       Pei Qing’s tone softened, and he said to Zhan Weiyang, “Fasten your seat belt.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t come back to his senses, Pei Qing unbuckled his own seat belt, leaned over, and helped Zhan Weiyang fasten his seat belt. He then turned around and said to Chen Youyou, “Youyou, we’ll take you home first.”

       Actually, Chen Youyou was also a little stunned, mainly because he saw Zhan Weiyang in a panic and didn’t know what had happened. At this time, he heard Pei Qing talking to him and hurriedly responded, “Oh, okay.”

       Pei Qing had driven to Chen Youyou’s house once, but after all, it was not a familiar place. Now that it was already dark, he took out his mobile phone, turned on the navigation, and drove all the way.

       No one in the car spoke, and only the emotionless, cold female voice in the mobile phone navigation could be heard from time to time.

       After sending Chen Youyou all the way to the gate of the neighbourhood, Pei Qing parked the car on the side of the road.

       When Chen Youyou got out of the car, he took off his coat and gave it back to Pei Qing, standing on the side of the road and politely thanked him, “Thank you, older cousin.”

       Pei Qing said to him, “Go back quickly, don’t catch a cold.”

       Chen Youyou nodded, waved to Zhan Weiyang, and ran into the neighbourhood.

       Then Pei Qing picked up his phone and reset the destination in the navigation.

       Zhan Weiyang was still somewhat at a loss for words as he looked at him.

       Pei Qing set the destination but did not start the car immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Zhan Weiyang and asked, “Is Yangyang hungry?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head blankly.

       Pei Qing asked him again, “Is it still cold?”

       Zhan Weiyang continued to shake his head.

       Pei Qing seemed to have noticed Zhan Weiyang’s mood, and he reached out and touched Zhan Weiyang’s head.

       Zhan Weiyang rubbed his warm palm obediently and asked carefully, “Did I make you angry just now?”

       Pei Qing said, “No.”

       Zhan Weiyang did not breathe a sigh of relief, and he insisted, “You are angry. Your tone was so fierce when you called my name.”

       Pei Qing asked him gently, “Was it fierce?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded with a little grievance.

       Pei Qing said, “I’m sorry.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m not angry with you.”

       Pei Qing couldn’t help laughing when he heard it and said to Zhan Weiyang, “Actually, I wasn’t angry with you, I just wanted to shout at you to come back soon.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him. Pei Qing said, “Did you hear me calling you to get in the car?”

       Zhan Weiyang replied, “I heard it.”

       Pei Qing nodded, “So I called you to get in the car, and you didn’t come. I was afraid that you would run away with others, and I am anxious.”

       Zhan Weiyang said hurriedly, “I won’t run away with others.”

       Pei Qing still had a faint smile in his eyes, and he asked, “Really?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded sincerely, “Yes, I will only follow you, don’t be mean to me.”

       Pei Qing leaned back in the chair and thought carefully about his tone just now. In fact, he couldn’t say that he was mean. He just wanted to call back Zhan Weiyang’s attention, so his voice was a little loud and his tone seemed hurried. The most important thing was that he called Zhan Weiyang’s full name.

       He knew why Zhan Weiyang was confused because even when he had just arrived at the Zhan family, and the two met for the first time, he was very polite and called him ‘Weiyang’ instead of ‘Zhan Weiyang’.

       It was just that he didn’t expect Zhan Weiyang to be so nervous.

       He then said again, “I’m sorry, I won’t be mean to you anymore, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Okay.”

       As Pei Qing drove back, the sky, which had been gloomy all night, began to drizzle again. He turned on the wipers, slowed down and drove home slowly. When passing the brightly lit streets on the way, he asked Zhan Weiyang if he wanted to have a midnight snack.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “No, I want to sleep.”

       When Pei Qing parked the car as they got home, he found that the car that Zhan Pengcheng usually drove out was already parked in the garage. Zhan Pengcheng had come back early today, which was rare.

       Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang entered the house and saw Zhan Pengcheng standing in the living room on the first floor, holding a cup and drinking water. When he saw them coming back, he put down the cup in a hurry and asked, “Did Yangyang get wet in the rain?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “No.”

       Pei Qing continued, “I saw that the temperature had dropped, so I drove to pick him up and brought him a coat.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Oh,” and said, “Thank you so much, xiao Qing.”

       Pei Qing said, “No problem, Uncle.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said to Zhan Weiyang, “Then go upstairs and take a shower and go to bed.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, “Okay.”

       After taking a shower, Zhan Weiyang sat on the bed in his room, thinking about what he had said to Chen Youyou in the afternoon and seriously struggling with whether he really had to wait until he was 18 to be able to do anything.

       His toes were red from the hot water, and he stepped on the bed, opening and closing them forcefully. He thought for a moment, reached out to pick up his pyjamas, and looked at his thin chest. His skin was still white, and it was slightly red after taking a hot bath. He stood up on the bed and tried to take off his pants, but before he could do so, he heard a knock on the door.

       It must be Zhan Pengcheng at this time.

       Zhan Weiyang quickly pulled up his pants, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said, “Come in.”

       Zhan Pengcheng opened the door and came in, asking, “Yangyang is still awake?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes.”

       Usually, Zhan Pengcheng would stand for a while before leaving. Today, he walked to the bed and sat down, asking Zhan Weiyang, “Does Pei Qing gege take good care of you?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes.”

       Zhan Pengcheng thought for a while and said, “Then Daddy will treat him to a meal some other day. I am usually busy with work, and I feel that I have troubled him a lot.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, “Okay.”

       Zhan Pengcheng asked him, “Do you get along well with Pei Qing gege?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes.”

       Zhan Pengcheng raised his hand, patted his head, and said with relief, “It’s must be because my Yangyang is so well-behaved. Everyone likes you.”

       Zhan Weiyang thought for a while and said, “Zhan Weiguang doesn’t like me.”

       “How dare he dislike you!” Zhan Pengcheng deliberately pretended to be mad, “Dad will spank him!”

       Zhan Weiyang smiled.

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Okay, go to bed, Dad is going to bed too.”

       Zhan Weiyang waved to him, “Good night, Dad.”

       When Zhan Pengcheng left the room, Zhan Weiyang sat cross-legged on the bed quietly for a few minutes, climbed down from the bed, and walked outside in slippers.

       The lights in the corridor were turned off, and the door to the balcony was also closed. The weather was bad today, so the light was very dim, and even the shadows of people could hardly be seen clearly.

       Zhan Weiyang originally wanted to find Pei Qing, but when he walked to the corridor and heard the sound of rain outside, he suddenly remembered his flower pot.

       So he walked to the balcony, opened the door and stood at the door, seeing the raindrops falling down. The ground of the entire balcony had been soaked for a long time, reflecting the dim light.

       His flower pot was placed in the middle, and it seemed to have caught a lot of rainwater because of the rain—he could hear the sound of raindrops falling into it.

       Zhan Weiyang thought if he stayed here in the future, he would be exposed to the rain if it rained, and no one would come to hold an umbrella for him. Although he might not be afraid of the rain at that time, he was still very pitiful.

       Or he could put the flower pot in Pei Qing’s room. Zhan Weiyang suddenly had this idea. He was excited for a moment but soon thought that Pei Qing would not live in his house forever, and when Pei Qing moved away in the future, he would be left alone as a tree in an empty room.

       At that moment, Zhan Weiyang felt very sad.
