       After staying in the hospital for a long time, things didn’t seem as hard as it was at the beginning.

       Zhan Weiyang gradually became familiar with the boy in the next bed and found that he was not so scary. He just couldn’t control his behaviour in certain situations, but he didn’t hurt others. The two would chat together from time to time while sitting on the bed. Zhan Weiyang also learned that the boy was secretly in love and had a girlfriend, but unfortunately, she didn’t dare to come to the hospital to see him.

       Zhan Weiyang’s attending doctor was a young female doctor with a good personality. She took good care of Zhan Weiyang, always treated him like a child, and often joked with him.

       Pei Qing and Zhan Pengcheng discussed how the two would accompany Zhan Weiyang for one night every other day. Pei Qing had to go to work during the day, and Zhan Pengcheng would come to accompany him personally if he could arrange to come over to work. Pei Qing would come over on weekends.

       Zhan Pengcheng felt that he had caused a lot of trouble to Pei Qing, and he felt really bad, but there was no better way. Although it was easy to ask for someone else, he was still worried, especially at night. He was worried that Zhan Weiyang would be scared, and Zhan Pengcheng was even more reluctant to let strangers come to the hospital to accompany Zhan Weiyang to sleep.

       After staying in the hospital for more than a week, perhaps because of the effect of the medicine, Zhan Weiyang’s mental state was obviously much better.

       He would no longer hear the voice of the System at night, nor would he fall into fear because of it. After taking the medicine every night, he could sleep peacefully in the hospital bed.

       Zhan Pengcheng often talked to the doctor about Zhan Weiyang’s condition.

       The doctor said that Zhan Weiyang’s auditory hallucinations could be controlled by drugs and other treatments, but his lack of self-awareness was more problematic. For example, after continuous treatment, he might no longer hear the so-called System prompts, and he would not be afraid because he would become a tree, but it was difficult for him to understand that all this would not happen in the first place, and he could not fully understand that his thinking was pathological thinking.

       “His lack of self-awareness is not caused by mental illness, but by the disorder of his brain development.”

       Zhan Pengcheng asked the doctor, “Does that mean he can’t be cured?”

       The doctor said, “That’s not what I mean. I’m saying that if you’re hoping to achieve complete recovery through treatment in the hospital, it might be very difficult. I think it’s more of a long-term process that may require the patience and companionship of the family.”

       Zhan Pengcheng listened quietly and nodded, “I understand.”

       After staying in the hospital for more than three weeks, the doctor discharged Zhan Weiyang, but he still needed to continue taking medicine and regular outpatient visits until the doctor thought he could stop taking medicine completely.

       After being discharged from the hospital, Zhan Pengcheng was very hesitant. He considered whether to let Zhan Weiyang take a leave of absence this semester. He didn’t know whether it was better to let Zhan Weiyang go back to school to continue his classes or to rest quietly at home.

       In the end, Zhan Weiyang wanted to go back to school. If he stayed at home, he would be alone in the second-floor room every day. Grandma and Auntie Luo were willing to accompany him, but he didn’t want to watch TV and walk with them every day, so he still wanted to go back to school.

       Pei Qing told Zhan Pengcheng that if Zhan Weiyang wanted to go back, he should go back. Going to school and being with his good friends might make him feel better.

       Zhan Pengcheng hesitated for a long time, talked to Zhan Weiyang again, and after calling the doctor for advice, he agreed to let Zhan Weiyang go back to school to continue his classes.

       However, Zhan Weiyang would not take the final exam this semester.

       He originally had poor grades and had missed nearly a month of classes. This time, even without taking the exam, he knew the results would be terrible. Zhan Pengcheng was unsure if a poor outcome on the final exams would affect Zhan Weiyang’s mental state, so he specifically went to see his homeroom teacher and the principal to request that he be excused from the exams.

       Since Zhan Pengcheng went to school, the homeroom teacher also took the rare opportunity to have a long talk with him. The homeroom teacher did not focus on Zhan Weiyang’s test scores, but mainly asked Zhan Pengcheng what plans he had for Zhan Weiyang’s future.

       Zhan Pengcheng had thought about this issue for a long time without finding a satisfactory answer. Now, when Zhan Weiyang’s homeroom teacher asked, he still said, “Let him go to college.” Any college would be fine. He just felt that it wouldn’t be good for Zhan Weiyang if he didn’t continue his studies, but he hadn’t yet figured out what he would do afterwards.

       This was exactly the question the homeroom teacher wanted to ask, “What will he do after graduation?”

       Zhan Pengcheng did not answer.

       The homeroom teacher said, “I am not asking for an answer now, but I hope you will think about it carefully. If you send him away to study at a university, I’m afraid your family won’t be at ease either.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “I will seriously consider it. Thank you, Teacher.”

       In fact, it was not that Zhan Weiyang could not go to college. If he lived at the school, he wouldn’t have any problems living on his own.

       The biggest issue was that Zhan Pengcheng was still worried. He was worried about the possibility of Zhan Weiyang being bullied by his classmates if he stayed in the dormitory or if Zhan Weiyang couldn’t make friends at school. Would Zhan Weiyang’s days be difficult, and would his mental state be affected?

       Zhan Pengcheng had too many things to consider. Zhan Weiyang was like a delicate, fragile porcelain piece he held in his hands. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, he had to support his child and keep moving forward without any room for negligence.

       Zhan Weiyang, who returned to the class, did not notice anything unusual.

       The homeroom teacher did not tell other students in the class the reason for his leave before. Everyone just thought he was not feeling well. Chen Youyou, the only one who knew, did not tell anyone.

       So apart from not being able to keep up with the teacher’s progress in class, Zhan Weiyang did not feel much different from the past.

       Chen Youyou avoided Zhan Weiyang’s deskmate when the class was over and asked him in a low voice, “Are you okay?”

       During this period, Chen Youyou often sent messages to him, but because he stuttered, he did not call him. The two mostly chatted by typing and he did not know Zhan Weiyang’s situation too clearly.

       At this time, Chen Youyou asked, and Zhan Weiyang replied, “I’m still taking medicine.”

       Chen Youyou said, “How long, do you need to take it?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head.

       Chen Youyou reached out and touched Zhan Weiyang’s forehead.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I don’t have a fever.”

       Chen Youyou still looked at him with a worried look.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m fine now, I won’t become a fortune tree.”

       “What?” Chen Youyou couldn’t keep up with his rhythm.

       Zhan Weiyang said to him, “Qing ge said that the doctor had cured me. I can’t hear the sound of the System now. It should have disappeared.”

       Chen Youyou felt that it would be better not to irritate him for the time being, so he went along with his words, “That’s good.” Then Chen Youyou thought about it again and felt that he should simply not talk about this topic with Zhan Weiyang. If he didn’t remind him, maybe he wouldn’t have these strange ideas.

       It wasn’t until lunchtime that they ran into Xie Ling in the cafeteria.

       Xie Ling took the initiative to greet Zhan Weiyang, saying, “I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

       Chen Youyou looked at Zhan Weiyang with some worry.

       Zhan Weiyang was actually quite calm. He nodded and said, “I was sick and hospitalised.”

       Xie Ling didn’t say anything else and went to line up for food with his classmates.

       Chen Youyou pulled Zhan Weiyang’s sleeve and asked, “Are you not afraid of him anymore?”

       Zhan Weiyang considered this question seriously and thought of Pei Qing telling him that he had been completely cured and didn’t have to be afraid of anything in the future. So he replied to Chen Youyou, “I’m not afraid of him anymore; I’m already well.”

       The days in the hospital were a bit difficult.

       Pei Qing went home and brought them some daily necessities, then left again. Because Zhan Pengcheng was here, the two didn’t have time to say a few more words.

       At around nine o’clock, the doctor came to check on the ward. Zhan Weiyang sat on the bed, hugging his knees anxiously, watching the night doctor look through his medical records and asking him a few more questions. He tried very hard to answer them carefully.

       Later, the nurse gave him medicine to take. It was only ten o’clock in the evening when he finished taking the medicine and turned off the lights.

       Zhan Pengcheng lay on the recliner next to Zhan Weiyang’s bed, and soon after closing his eyes, he began to snore.

       Zhan Weiyang lay motionless on the bed. Through the curtain, he heard the patient in the next bed turning over restlessly.

       He took advantage of the light from the window to look at Zhan Pengcheng by the bed. After finding that he was sleeping soundly, he quietly took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Pei Qing.

       But before he could send the message, the screen lit up by itself. Pei Qing sent him a message first, asking him, “Are you asleep?”

       Zhan Weiyang covered his head with the quilt and hid inside so that the light of the phone would not disturb the sleeping Zhan Pengcheng. Then, he replied to Pei Qing, “I’m ready to sleep.”

       Pei Qing said to him, “Then go to bed early, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

       Zhan Weiyang, “Okay.”

       Pei Qing, “Listen to the doctor’s advice, and you can go home early.”

       Zhan Weiyang, “I’m very obedient.”

       After chatting with Pei Qing, Zhan Weiyang put his phone under his pillow and prepared to sleep, but he felt the phone vibrate slightly again. This time it was Chen Youyou.

       Chen Youyou knew that Zhan Weiyang had asked for leave, but he didn’t know what was going on. He asked Zhan Weiyang, “Will you come to school tomorrow?”

       Zhan Weiyang, “No.”

       After waiting for a while, Chen Youyou cautiously said a few more words, “What’s wrong with you?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought about it and typed silently, “They said there was something wrong with my brain.”

       Chen Youyou replied quickly, “Haven’t you always had problems with your brain?” However, he unsent these words as soon as he sent them out.

       Zhan Weiyang still saw them and told him, “I saw them.”

       Chen Youyou seemed to have been typing for a long time, “I didn’t mean that. Don’t think too much. Try to come back to school as soon as possible.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m not angry. Is there really a problem this time? I don’t know. Anyway, they said so.”

       The two of them didn’t chat for long before the conversation ended.

       This time, Zhan Weiyang turned off his mobile phone and put it under the pillow. He found a comfortable position on the bed and lay on his side. He first opened his eyes and sighed, then closed his eyes and concentrated on sleeping.

       Before falling asleep, he heard the reminder sound of deduction again, but the sound had actually become somewhat abstract. He just didn’t know if it was because of the medicine’s influence. The feeling of panic wasn’t as strong; instead, he felt tired and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

       The next morning, Zhan Weiyang was awakened by Zhan Pengcheng in his sleep. He sat on the bed in a daze and didn’t move for a long time.

       Zhan Pengcheng still treated him as a child, holding a hot towel in his hand to help him wash his face. He was very rough, and Zhan Weiyang’s face was rubbed red. He dodged to the side and washed it himself.

       After watching Zhan Weiyang wash his face, Zhan Pengcheng went to get breakfast.

       Zhan Weiyang went to the bathroom, looked out of the corridor outside the ward, and came back to sit quietly by the bed.

       After the doctor came to check on Zhan Weiyang in the morning, he arranged for him to be treated by a psychologist. He and the psychologist talked for a long time in the treatment room; after lunch and taking a nap, the department arranged group activities for patients, which could be voluntary.

       After dinner, Pei Qing came over and asked Zhan Pengcheng to go back and rest. He could stay here tonight.

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “How can this be possible!”

       Pei Qing also bought some fruits and said to Zhan Pengcheng, “We still don’t know how many days Yangyang will have to stay in the hospital. It’s impossible for you to stay here day and night all the time.”

       Zhan Pengcheng was actually a little worried. He suspended his work to accompany Zhan Weiyang, but work couldn’t be suspended like this forever. Just like Pei Qing said, it would be fine if it was only for a few days. If Zhan Weiyang couldn’t be discharged from the hospital for the time being, it would be very troublesome if it was delayed for several weeks.

       Of course, this kind of thing couldn’t be handed over to Pei Qing. Pei Qing was working himself, and he was also a guest at home.

       The only solution Zhan Pengcheng could think of was to hire someone, but he was afraid that Zhan Weiyang couldn’t accept it, so it was definitely not possible at the beginning. He could only consider it after Zhan Weiyang got used to it.

       Pei Qing saw Zhan Pengcheng still hesitant, and said to him, “Or you can go back to rest tonight, at least take a shower and change clothes. Tomorrow is Saturday, and I don’t have to go to work. You can sleep in and rest and come later. You can come here to watch tomorrow night.”

       Zhan Pengcheng still seemed a little hesitant, but Pei Qing seemed to convince him. He walked to the bed and asked Zhan Weiyang, “Dad will go back tonight. Can Qing gege stay here with you?”

       Zhan Weiyang glanced at Pei Qing and nodded silently.

       Zhan Pengcheng reached out to straighten his collar and asked, “Are you scared? If you are, Dad won’t go back.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “No.”

       Zhan Pengcheng nodded and said to Pei Qing, “Then I’ll go back to take a shower. Call me if you need anything.”

       Pei Qing replied, “I know. Don’t worry, Uncle.”

       Zhan Pengcheng left. Pei Qing gave two fruits he bought to the mother and son in the next bed. Then he sat by Zhan Weiyang’s bed and peeled apples for Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang sat on the bed, hugging his knees and looked at Pei Qing intently.

       Pei Qing asked him, “Do you feel good today?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Pei Qing asked him again, “What did you do?”

       Zhan Weiyang told Pei Qing about his chat with the psychologist in the morning, what questions the doctor asked him, and what he answered. Then he talked about the afternoon activities and secretly leaned close to Pei Qing’s ear to tell him that a patient in the next ward had been transferred to the ward upstairs because of a quarrel with a nurse.

       Pei Qing lowered his head, peeled off the last bit of skin on the apple, and asked, “What is the ward upstairs used for?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head, “I don’t know either,” he said softly, bending over almost close to Pei Qing’s ear, “I heard that they lock people up and don’t allow them to walk around freely. There are people upstairs beating people.”

       “Is it that scary?” Pei Qing responded, cutting off a small piece of the apple, pinching it and passing it to Zhan Weiyang’s mouth.

       Zhan Weiyang bit it, chewed it slowly, and said with some concern, “I won’t be locked up upstairs, will I?”

       Pei Qing said to him, “You’re not going to hit anyone, why lock you up?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, “I won’t hit people.”

       Compared to when he was in front of Zhan Pengcheng, Zhan Weiyang was much more lively and talked more when he was facing Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing asked him, “Is it uncomfortable to stay here?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought for a moment and said, “Not really.”

       Pei Qing said, “That’s good. As long as Yangyang listens and gets treated well, we can go home soon.”

       Zhan Weiyang smiled while eating an apple, with two dimples on his cheeks.

       At night, Pei Qing couldn’t fall asleep as easily as Zhan Pengcheng. The recliner was too narrow, and it was almost difficult for him to turn over on it. The boy in the next bed tossed and turned and made a lot of noise. He lay on his back, with his arms under his head, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, and couldn’t fall asleep for a while.

       Zhan Weiyang lay on his side, curled up, and didn’t move at first, but then he poked his head out from the bed and secretly observed Pei Qing in the dark.

       Pei Qing noticed his movements but didn’t respond.

       It was Zhan Weiyang who looked carefully for a long time and found that Pei Qing’s eyes were open, and then he let out a soft ‘Oh’.

       Pei Qing pulled a hand out from under his head, put his index finger to his lips, and made a very light sound, “Shhh—”

       They were not the only two here, a mother and son were staying in the ward next door. Although there was a curtain between them, the sound of their conversation could still be heard.

       Zhan Weiyang lay on the bed with almost his entire upper body sticking out. He was wearing a thin hospital gown with a loose collar, revealing his protruding collarbone and his entire chest under the dim moonlight.

       He leaned close to Pei Qing’s ear and almost whispered, “Can’t sleep?”

       Pei Qing rubbed his ear with his hand and nodded as the answer.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I want to have a midnight snack.”

       Pei Qing smiled silently, still lying on his back, and looked at him, “Where can we get a midnight snack in the hospital?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Let’s sneak out.”

       Pei Qing said to him, “That won’t work. It’ll be over if the doctor catches us.”

       Zhan Weiyang showed a disappointed look.

       Pei Qing said, “Go to bed.”

       Zhan Weiyang supported his body with one arm and suddenly stretched out his other hand, which fell on Pei Qing’s collar. He gently pulled his buttons and said, “Kiss me, and I’ll go to bed.”

       Pei Qing didn’t move, smiled and hooked his finger, saying, “Come here.”

       Zhan Weiyang quickly moved forward and kissed Pei Qing’s lips.

       They kissed lightly, and when they separated, Pei Qing kissed his forehead, then the tip of his nose, and finally, two kisses fell on his left and right cheeks, one on each side, and he said, “Good night, baby.”

       Zhan Weiyang blushed slightly and said, “Good night.”

       Zhan Pengcheng took a leave to take Zhan Weiyang to the hospital for treatment. Pei Qing also went with them.

       Zhan Weiyang looked very nervous. He put on a loose coat over his hooded sweatshirt and pulled the collar high, covering half of his pale face.

       The parking spaces at the hospital were very crowded, so Zhan Pengcheng asked them to get off at the hospital gate first and wait in line for a parking space.

       After Pei Qing got out of the car, he stood at the door, held Zhan Weiyang’s hand, and helped him jump out.

       Zhan Pengcheng stuck his head out and said to them, “You go and wait for your number to be called first. I’ll come over after I park the car.”

       Pei Qing nodded, “Okay, Uncle.”

       Then Zhan Weiyang followed Pei Qing obediently into the hospital outpatient building, which was all white.

       There were more patients in the hospital than Pei Qing had imagined. The outpatient hall was crowded with people, and it seemed that there was no big difference from other general hospitals.

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything all the time but just held Pei Qing’s hand tightly.

       Pei Qing turned to look at him and said, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, still without saying a word.

       They took the elevator to the second floor of the outpatient building and sat down on the chair outside the doctor’s office.

       Pei Qing was looking at the number on the display screen in front of him, while Zhan Weiyang shrank his neck and looked around anxiously.

       After a while, Pei Qing raised his hand and hugged his shoulders.

       Zhan Weiyang quickly came over, first leaning his head on Pei Qing’s shoulder and then nervously burying his face in his arms.

       Pei Qing said, “Don’t worry, you’ll get better soon after taking the medicine.”

       Zhan Weiyang whispered, “Will I?”

       “Yes,” Pei Qing said, “You won’t hear strange noises in the future, and no one will force you to do things you don’t want to do.”

       Zhan Weiyang asked him, “Will I still turn into a tree?”

       Pei Qing said, “Of course not.”

       Zhan Weiyang thought about it and said, “Okay then.”

       Not long after, Zhan Pengcheng parked the car and got in. Before he got close, he saw Zhan Weiyang leaning on Pei Qing’s shoulder from a distance and couldn’t help but stop.

       Pei Qing noticed him and was not panicked. He just raised his hand and patted Zhan Weiyang’s head calmly, saying, “Yangyang, Dad is here.”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his head.

       Pei Qing then stood up and let Zhan Pengcheng sit in his seat.

       Zhan Pengcheng came over and said, “No, you sit.”

       The chairs around were all occupied, and the nearest empty seat was still some distance away from here.

       Pei Qing did not sit down. He said, “Uncle, please sit down. I’ll go get you some water.” Then he turned and left.

       Zhan Pengcheng sat down, put his hand on Zhan Weiyang’s head, and said, “Don’t be afraid.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Zhan Pengcheng stared at him for a while and asked, “If you are afraid, do you want to lean on your Dad?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked up at him, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and leaned his head on Zhan Pengcheng’s shoulder.

       Zhan Pengcheng also changed his posture very considerately, wanting him to lean more comfortably, and said to him, “It’s okay, Dad is here, don’t be afraid.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, ‘hmm’.

       After waiting for half an hour, Zhan Weiyang’s number was finally called.

       Zhan Pengcheng accompanied Zhan Weiyang to get up and go into the clinic, but it was not convenient for too many people to go in, so Pei Qing stayed outside to wait for them.

       As Zhan Weiyang walked forward, he kept looking back at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing nodded at him and smiled again.

       Zhan Weiyang reluctantly smiled, then turned around and grabbed Zhan Pengcheng’s sleeve. His steps were nervous and cautious until he and Zhan Pengcheng disappeared at the clinic’s door.

       Pei Qing still held two half-drunk mineral water bottles in his hands. His expression was calm, but his hands were shaking the bottles back and forth.

       People were coming and going around, and the empty seats were quickly occupied by others, but Pei Qing’s attention was always in front of him, facing the closed door of the clinic.

       Actually, at that moment, he wasn’t thinking about anything. All his thoughts were fragmented, and he couldn’t sustain continuous thinking. He saw people running ahead as if in a panic and heard a woman crying not far away, but these seemed like colourless background scenes, meaningless to him.

       He slightly tilted his head back, his jawline tightening into a beautiful curve. He quietly looked at the white ceiling light and suddenly thought that once Zhan Weiyang was cured this time, he would definitely take him back and ensure he never had to endure such suffering again.

       After waiting for almost half an hour, Pei Qing saw Zhan Pengcheng bringing Zhan Weiyang out. Zhan Weiyang looked very unhappy and was in a trance.

       Zhan Pengcheng grabbed one of his wrists and walked him to Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing stood up and asked, “How is it?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “The doctor recommended hospitalisation.”

       Pei Qing looked down at Zhan Weiyang, and couldn’t help but change his expression slightly, and asked, “Is it so serious?”

       Zhan Pengcheng nodded, “We still need to do an examination today, but the doctor has said that for his current condition, it is best to be hospitalised for a period of time.”

       Pei Qing asked, “What about tonight? Can family members stay with him?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Yes.”

       Pei Qing felt a little relieved. He lowered his head and asked Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, is it okay to be hospitalised?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything, and after a while, he suddenly reached out and hugged Pei Qing’s waist.

       Zhan Pengcheng stood by and stared at them for a while.

       Pei Qing reacted calmly. He raised his hand, patted Zhan Weiyang on the back, and asked him, “Are you scared?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded and shook his head.

       Pei Qing patiently asked, “What’s wrong?”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his head and said to him, “I want to be hospitalised.”

       “Do you want to be hospitalised?” Pei Qing asked softly.

       Zhan Weiyang nodded again, “The doctor said I can be cured.”

       Pei Qing smiled, “If the doctor said you can be cured, you can definitely be cured.”

       They stayed in the hospital for a whole day to complete the admission procedures and do various examinations. When Zhan Weiyang was admitted to the inpatient ward, it was already afternoon.

       The boy in the same ward with him was also in his teens with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.

       Zhan Weiyang was very scared. His bed was next to the window. After the examination, he had been sitting quietly on the bed with his legs hugged after entering the ward.

       Zhan Pengcheng and Pei Qing had been busy all day, and their minds were tense and their bodies tired. Zhan Pengcheng stood at the door of the ward, unscrewed the bottle of mineral water Pei Qing handed him, and drank it with his head tilted back.

       Pei Qing walked to Zhan Weiyang’s bed and asked him, “Are you okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang secretly glanced at the boy in the next bed and nodded without daring to do so.

       Zhan Pengcheng came over, put the remaining one-third of the mineral water bottle on the bedside table, and said to Pei Qing, “You go back first.”

       Pei Qing did not agree immediately but asked, “Uncle, are you okay to be here alone?”

       Zhan Pengcheng nodded, “I’m fine. I just went to the nurse’s station and asked; they said I could borrow a reclining chair to sleep by the bed at night. You should go back and rest early today. If it’s convenient after you finish work tomorrow afternoon, bring me some things.”

       Pei Qing said, “I’ll go back and get it for you first.”

       Zhan Pengcheng thought about it and said, “Why bother? There’s no need to go out of your way.”

       “No trouble,” Pei Qing said, “I can drive back.”

       Zhan Pengcheng nodded, handed Pei Qing the car keys, and told him to go home and get some clothes and daily necessities.

       When Pei Qing left, Zhan Weiyang kept looking up and staring at his back eagerly. Zhan Pengcheng sat down beside the bed. He noticed Zhan Weiyang’s eyes and said, “Isn’t it good for Dad to stay here with you?”

       Zhan Weiyang turned back reluctantly and said, “Good.”

       Zhan Pengcheng thought of the way he hugged Pei Qing today and felt a little uncomfortable. He asked him, “In your heart, is Dad not as good as Qing ge?”

       Zhan Weiyang whispered, “No.”

       Zhan Pengcheng was still not satisfied and asked, “Do you like Dad or Qing ge more?”

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head, pouted, and said, “I like Dad.”

       Pei Qing called Zhan Pengcheng the next day, and during the lunch break, he came out of the company. He took a taxi home and met Zhan Pengcheng. He told Zhan Pengcheng in detail about Zhan Weiyang’s current condition.

       “Auditory hallucination?” Zhan Pengcheng was obviously stunned. “What hallucination?” He asked anxiously.

       Pei Qing said, “It’s complicated. He said there was a System that gave him tasks to complete. If he couldn’t complete them, he would be turned into a tree.”

       “A tree?”

       Pei Qing nodded, “Uncle, do you remember Yangyang’s big flower pot? He prepared it for himself. He thought that one day he would become a tree, and then he would have to plant himself in it.”

       Zhan Pengcheng thought of Zhan Weiyang’s flower pot. He knew that Zhan Weiyang liked that flower pot very much, but he never knew why. Today, when he knew the answer, he felt a kind of fear. His face turned pale, and he said, “He never told me.”

       Pei Qing wanted to comfort him and said, “He didn’t tell me either. I asked his good friend Chen Youyou.”

       “How could this be?” Zhan Pengcheng was still reluctant to believe it, “Are you sure it’s like this? Yangyang has been fine for so many years.”

       Pei Qing said, “I hope it’s not like this.”

       Zhan Pengcheng stood up, pacing back and forth restlessly, “How can there be hallucinations? Is there anything else besides the System task you mentioned?”

       Pei Qing replied, “I don’t know, he didn’t tell me. But I think the most serious thing is that he thinks he will become a tree.”

       “How could he turn into a tree?” Zhan Pengcheng thought it was ridiculous.

       “Yes,” Pei Qing said, “none of us think he could possibly turn into a tree, but he thinks so himself. If one day he wakes up and really thinks he’s turned into a tree… Uncle, how do you think he’ll face us as a tree then?”

       Zhan Pengcheng’s entire body looked tense as he looked towards Pei Qing, not being able to utter a single word for a long time.

       Pei Qing could guess what he was thinking. Like himself, he was also afraid, afraid that Zhan Weiyang would really turn into a tree. It wasn’t that his body could become a tree, but rather that his mind had become a tree—alive yet without consciousness.

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “I’ll take him to see a doctor.”

       Pei Qing nodded, “Okay.”

       Zhan Pengcheng reached out to touch his cell phone but couldn’t find it after a long time. Later, he realised that the phone had been on the coffee table in front of him. He bent down to pick up the phone, and before dialling, he said to Pei Qing, “He is very reluctant to go to the hospital.”

       Pei Qing also stood up, gently pulled up his clothes, and said, “He promised me.”

       “He promised you?” Zhan Pengcheng was very surprised.

       Pei Qing replied, “Yes, he promised me that he would listen to the doctor and let the doctor cure him so that he would no longer hear those voices that kept pestering him.”

       Zhan Pengcheng looked at Pei Qing for a while, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said, “Thank you.”

       That day, Zhan Pengcheng called someone to help find an expert and added an appointment for the next morning, then turned down all social events and stayed at home waiting for Zhan Weiyang to finish school in the afternoon.

       Late last night, Zhan Weiyang pushed open the door of Pei Qing’s room, walked to Pei Qing’s bed in the dark, squatted down, hesitantly approached and whispered, “Qing ge.”

       He wanted to say something to Pei Qing, but he didn’t have the heart to wake him up.

       Actually, Pei Qing was not asleep at that time. He heard Zhan Weiyang coming in, but he didn’t make a sound until Zhan Weiyang squatted beside the bed and called him. Then he turned over and opened his eyes to face Zhan Weiyang and said, “Yangyang, what’s wrong?”

       Zhan Weiyang folded his arms on the bedside, resting his head on them. Looking at Pei Qing’s hazy outline, he said, “Can I go to the doctor?”

       Pei Qing half sat up and stretched out a hand to him, “Come up first.”

       Zhan Weiyang got on the bed, and got into Pei Qing’s arms. He hugged his waist and said again, “Can I go to the doctor?”

       Pei Qing touched his hair, “Are you not scared anymore?”

       “Scared,” Zhan Weiyang said softly, “but I want to be with you.”

       Pei Qing was a little emotional, “Because you want to be with me, are you willing to go to the doctor even if you are scared?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Ah. I think it might be too heavy if you move me along with the flower pot.”

       Hearing Zhan Weiyang’s words, Pei Qing felt a mix of amusement and discomfort. “Well, if you go see a doctor and get treated, I won’t have to move the flower pot anymore. In the future, I can hold your hand and take you with me. How does that sound?”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his head and asked him, “Can the doctor really cure me?”

       “Of course,” Pei Qing said, “If the doctor takes the System out of your head, it won’t deduct your points, and it won’t turn you into a tree.”

       Even though Zhan Weiyang couldn’t see clearly, he still tried to stare at Pei Qing’s face in the dark.

       Pei Qing said, “So I’ll tell your Dad tomorrow to take you to the doctor, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer. He just hugged Pei Qing tightly, trembling slightly as if he was afraid.

       Pei Qing stroked his back to calm him down, “Why are you so scared?”

       Zhan Weiyang’s voice began to tremble, “Because it can’t be cured.”

       Pei Qing asked him, “What can’t be cured?”

       Zhan Weiyang was very scared, “It can’t be cured. They said it couldn’t be cured, and then they are going to quarrel about it.” He had some vague memories in his head about his mother and father, who had brought him back from the hospital and started to quarrel fiercely.

       Once, his mother broke a vase at home and shouted at the top of her lungs, “It can’t be cured again! Why see a doctor? What a waste of time?”

       The vase fell in front of Zhan Weiyang at that time.

       Zhan Weiyang was so scared that he dared not move. It was his grandmother who came over and picked him up to keep him away from the battlefield where his parents quarrelled.

       In fact, Zhan Weiyang could not recall these things clearly. It was probably something left in his subconscious that made him have a deep fear of hospitals and doctors.

       Pei Qing didn’t know what Zhan Weiyang remembered, but he could sense Zhan Weiyang’s emotions. He said to him, “It will be cured. Don’t you believe me?”

       Zhan Weiyang whispered, “Really?”

       Pei Qing nodded, her voice low and steady, “Really, when has gege ever lied to you?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded and said, “Then you go with me.”

       “Okay,” Pei Qing replied, “I’ll go with you.”

       Last night, Zhan Weiyang stayed in Pei Qing’s room to sleep. Since it was very late, he was extremely tense, but once he fell asleep, he slept very soundly. He just kept holding onto Pei Qing with one hand, unwilling to let go no matter what.

       Pei Qing prepared him mentally first. When he returned home and saw Zhan Pengcheng today, Zhan Weiyang was already nervous. He hid behind Pei Qing, only showing a pair of eyes and shouted, “Dad,” and then quickly retracted his head.

       Zhan Pengcheng was also nervous, standing far away. He said to Yangyang, “Yangyang, tomorrow Dad will take you to the hospital for a checkup, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang did not answer.

       Until Pei Qing turned his head and looked at him, he stretched out half of his head again and nodded gently to indicate his agreement.

       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.”
