Zhan Pengcheng booked two standard rooms. After Zhan Weiyang finished his shower and returned to the bed by the window, he picked up his phone and sent Pei Qing a message: “Have you gone to bed?”
Pei Qing quickly replied: “Not yet; Weiguang is taking a shower.”
Zhan Weiyang looked at these words and felt very unhappy.
After a while, Zhan Pengcheng came out of the shower and wiped the water off his face and neck with a towel while saying to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, stop playing with your phone and go to bed early.”
Zhan Weiyang silently put his phone aside.
Zhan Pengcheng turned off the lights in the room and lay down on his bed. After soaking in the hot spring all night, he yawned and felt that his body was very tired, so he asked, “Are you tired, Yangyang?”
Zhan Weiyang was actually quite tired, but his mind was very active. He had been waiting for Zhan Weiguang to change rooms with him, so he pulled up the quilt and only said ‘En’ softly.
He lay quietly, listening to Zhan Pengcheng’s breathing gradually getting louder on the bed beside him. He looked up secretly and thought that Zhan Pengcheng might have fallen asleep.
Just then, Zhan Weiyang’s mobile phone suddenly rang.
In the quiet environment, the sudden ringing sound was particularly loud. Zhan Weiyang was startled. Zhan Pengcheng also woke up and asked in a daze, “Who called so late?”
Zhan Weiyang fumbled his mobile phone from under the pillow and saw that it was Zhan Weiguang who had called. He thought it was already hard to wait for his father to fall asleep, but Zhan Weiguang called again to wake him up. He felt angry and answered the phone angrily, “What are you doing?”
Zhan Weiguang asked him, “Is Dad asleep?”
Zhan Weiyang was very angry, “Dad was woken up by you!”
Zhan Weiguang said, “It’s okay, come over, let’s play cards.”
“Huh?” Zhan Weiyang was stunned for a moment.
Zhan Weiguang said, “Let’s play Dou Dizhu1Dou dizhu is a card game in the genre of shedding and gambling. It is one of the most popular card games played in China., come on, hurry up!”
Zhan Weiyang suddenly reacted and said, “I’ll go.”
Zhan Pengcheng heard him getting out of bed, reached out, turned on the reading light at the head of the bed, and asked him, “What are you doing so late?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m going to find them to play Dou Dizhu.”
Zhan Pengcheng couldn’t open his eyes. He rubbed his forehead, “Why play Dou Dizhu so late?”
Zhan Weiyang reached out to turn off the light, grabbed his phone and door card, walked out in the dark, and said, “Dad, you go to bed first.”
He opened the room door and saw Zhan Weiguang standing at the door with his phone, so he asked, “Are you waiting for me?”
Zhan Weiguang said, “Hurry up.”
Zhan Pengcheng heard the sound outside and shouted, “Aren’t you guys tired?”
Zhan Weiguang replied outside the door, “We are still young, not tired. Dad, you go to bed first.” After that, he raised his hand to help Zhan Weiyang close the door.
The door of the next room was open. Pei Qing stood at the door in pyjamas and said helplessly, “Stop making trouble. Uncle will be angry if he finds out.”
When Zhan Weiyang heard Pei Qing’s words, he suddenly became nervous. He asked, “Should I go back?”
Pei Qing laughed and said, “At least play a few rounds of Dou Dizhu before returning.”
None of them brought poker cards with them, so playing Dou Dizhu was not easy at this time. Finally, Zhan Weiguang thought of a way to open a room using the game app on his mobile phone. The three of them played Dou Dizhu on their mobile phones.
There were two beds in the room. Zhan Weiguang occupied one. Zhan Weiyang lay next to Pei Qing. The two were too close, so Zhan Weiyang couldn’t help but look at Pei Qing’s cards.
Zhan Weiguang played two rounds and threw his phone aside with a ‘tsk’. “Zhan Weiyang, do you still want to play?”
Zhan Weiyang lowered his head embarrassedly and said, “Sorry.”
Pei Qing smiled and touched the top of his head.
Zhan Weiyang immediately raised his face and rubbed it in Pei Qing’s palm.
Zhan Weiguang suddenly felt that his presence in this room was too unnecessary. He stood up from the bed and said, “I’m going to sleep.”
Zhan Weiyang was a little nervous, “Dad might not be asleep yet.”
Zhan Weiguang grabbed his mobile phone and saw Zhan Weiyang throw the room door card on the bedside table. He walked over to pick it up together and said as he walked outside, “He can fall asleep as soon as he touches the bed. It’s probably almost time.”
Pei Qing asked, “Do you really want to change?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything. He looked at Pei Qing and then at Zhan Weiguang.
Zhan Weiguang said, “He worked hard for the whole year to get into college. Dad is watching him too closely. It’s unnecessary.” He looked at Pei Qing and said it in a low voice. After he finished speaking, he walked out in slippers.
Zhan Weiyang still seemed a little uneasy. He sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at Pei Qing with wide-open round eyes.
Pei Qing reached out to touch his head, pressed his palm on the back of his neck to make him bend over, kissed his lips and said, “Let’s go to bed then.”
Zhan Weiguang walked to the next room, swiped his card to open the door, and heard Zhan Pengcheng’s familiar snoring when he stood at the door. He walked in and gently closed the door, stood in the dark to adapt for a while, and walked towards the empty bed.
Just as he was about to climb onto the bed, Zhan Pengcheng, on the bed next to him, turned over and suddenly woke up, calling out in a vague voice, “Yangyang?”
Zhan Weiguang stopped moving, not knowing whether he should make a sound for a moment.
Zhan Pengcheng felt strange and called out again, “Yangyang?”
Zhan Weiguang couldn’t help but say, “It’s me.”
“Weiguang?” Zhan Pengcheng sat up suddenly and fumbled to find the light switch, “Where’s your brother?”
Zhan Weiguang climbed onto the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down, saying, “He sleeps next door.”
Zhan Pengcheng had already turned on the light. The sudden light stimulated him to squint his eyes. He couldn’t adapt for a long time and said, “How can you let him sleep with Pei Qing?”
Zhan Weiguang said, “Dad, he has graduated from high school and will go to college soon.”
Zhan Pengcheng frowned, “But his mental age is still a child.”
Zhan Weiguang felt a little helpless and pulled up the quilt to cover half of his face, almost covering his eyes. “He isn’t. He’s going to board at school once the term starts. What’s the point of keeping such a close eye on him while on vacation? Are you planning to follow him to school and stay there with him then?”
“But—” Zhan Pengcheng subconsciously wanted to refute but didn’t know how to refute for a while.
Zhan Weiguang said, “He has been living in the same room with Pei Qing for a long time. You don’t know if he will stay overnight at Pei Qing’s place in the future. Since we are out to play, just let him be.”
Zhan Pengcheng was a little dazed. After a long while, he said, “I know, I just can’t let go.”
Zhan Weiguang said, “Haven’t you made up your mind to let him go and give him to Pei Qing?”
Zhan Pengcheng sighed deeply, turned off the light and lay down again. He turned over in the dark and felt that he was not sleepy at all. He turned over again.
Zhan Weiguang was still awake. He whispered, “Zhan Weiyang had planned to live with Pei Qing in the future, and he will take you and Grandma with him.”
Zhan Pengcheng asked, “He told you that?”
Zhan Weiguang said, “Well, he thinks that he and Pei Qing will definitely be able to live a lifetime.”
Zhan Pengcheng sighed again at this time, “Pei Qing is a good child.”
Zhan Weiguang picked up his mobile phone and sent a message quickly.
In the next room, Zhan Weiyang and Pei Qing were squeezed on the same bed. He rested his head on Pei Qing’s arm and gently called him, “Qing ge.”
Pei Qing said, “Go to sleep, Yangyang.”
Zhan Weiyang felt a little disappointed. He kept his eyes open and struggled for a while but still said, “Oh.”
Pei Qing’s mobile phone suddenly lit up on the bedside table. He turned around and saw a message. He clicked it and saw that it was sent by Zhan Weiguang: “Dad knows that Zhan Weiyang went to sleep there, and he didn’t object. Don’t worry.” He stared at the message for a while, locked the phone and put it back on the bedside table.
