Category: The Capture Target Came Out Wrong (Page 1 of 10)

       Zhan Weiyang’s gaze kept following Pei Qing. Even though the room was now dark, Pei Qing could still feel Zhan Weiyang looking at him.

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

       Zhan Weiyang thought for a moment and asked him, “Who sent you a message so late?”

       Pei Qing smiled silently and answered him in a serious tone, “Weiguang.”

       Zhan Weiyang was silent for a while. He fumbled to find Pei Qing’s hand, held his fingers together, and said, “Don’t pay attention to him; it’s already too late.”

       Pei Qing replied, “Okay.”

       Zhan Weiyang turned his face and rubbed against Pei Qing’s shoulder.

       Pei Qing raised one hand to touch his face and asked him, “Yangyang, do you want Qing ge to kiss you?”

       Zhan Weiyang was very happy, “Can I?”

       Pei Qing stroked his lips with her fingers, “Of course.” After that, he lowered his head and kissed him.

       Zhan Weiyang opened his eyes and kissed Pei Qing happily.

       Zhan Weiyang and Pei Qing were both very busy throughout Zhan Weiyang’s second semester of senior year. He was admitted to a second-tier university, which might not sound like a big deal to others, but to him, he had already exhausted all his energy.

       He knew that his brain was not very good. Chen Youyou could understand the same course after the teacher explained it once, but he had to ask Chen Youyou to explain it to him several times after class. He had to do the same type of questions repeatedly so that he could find the pattern the next time he did it.

       Pei Qing was also busy during this period. He had just started working and had no support from his family. He had to rely on himself for everything and had to work overtime almost every night.

       They had no time to meet each other. They could only have a short video chat for ten minutes at night and then say goodbye in a hurry. This state lasted until Zhan Weiyang finished the college entrance examination. On the day after the exam, Zhan Weiyang wanted to spend the night at Pei Qing’s place but was stopped by Zhan Pengcheng. Zhan Pengcheng stared at him very closely. It had been a while since the holiday, and he had to go home and sleep every day. Pei Qing was busy with work, and they had little time to eat together, let alone such intimate contact.

       Zhan Weiyang was immersed in Pei Qing’s gentle kiss, and then gradually felt that Pei Qing’s kiss was more intense than before.

       Pei Qing had always been very restrained towards him and would let him go after a kiss and a hug. Zhan Weiyang had never tried such a kiss. He felt that Pei Qing was a little fierce, as if he wanted to bite him and eat him. The hand that pinched his arm was also very strong, so he subconsciously stepped back.

       Pei Qing didn’t chase him but asked him in a deep voice, “What’s wrong, Yangyang?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Are you upset?”

       Pei Qing gently stroked his lips with his thumb, “Why am I upset?”

       Zhan Weiyang said uncertainly, “I don’t know, I think you are not very happy.”

       Pei Qing smiled, his voice low and deep. He hugged Zhan Weiyang tightly in his arms, lowered his head against the soft skin of his shoulder, and said, “I’m not upset; I’m very happy.”

       Zhan Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s great.”

       Pei Qing asked him, “If I’m upset, what will you do?”

       Zhan Weiyang answered without thinking, “Make you happy.”

       Pei Qing asked, “How do you want to make me happy?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Comfort you in any way you want. Anyway, don’t be upset with me, I want you to be happy all the time.”

       Pei Qing held him like a child and shook him left and right, saying, “My silly Yangyang.”

       Zhan Weiyang then smiled and reached out to hug Pei Qing’s neck.

       Pei Qing said, “Since Yangyang is willing to do anything for me, I can agree to anything you want. Is there something you want me to do?”

       Zhan Weiyang was suddenly surprised and asked, “Can we make love?”

       Pei Qing held back her smile and whispered in his ear, “Are you dumb?”

       Zhan Weiyang admitted with his head down embarrassedly, “I think a little bit.”

       Pei Qing said, “If you hadn’t avoided me just now, I would have done it with you.”

       “Hmm?” Zhan Weiyang didn’t quite react to what he meant.

       After Pei Qing finished speaking, he kissed Zhan Weiyang’s lips again. This time, even if Zhan Weiyang avoided again, he would not let him go.

       …………

       Afterwards, Zhan Weiyang was sweating all over, and Pei Qing carried him to the bathroom to take another shower. When he came back to bed, Zhan Weiyang was so tired that he couldn’t open his eyes. He found Pei Qing beside him, hugged his waist tightly, and said, “Can we do it often?”

       Pei Qing turned off the lights, hugged him and asked, “Does Yangyang like it?”

       “Yeah,” Zhan Weiyang said, “I like it very much.”

       Pei Qing said to him, “Then, when you graduate from college, we will live together, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang tried to open his eyes, “Are we going to get married?”

       Pei Qing said, “Qing ge will work hard to make money, buy you a house and a ring, and then propose to you, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang was not shy just now but suddenly became shy when he heard the proposal. He lowered his head and buried his face in Pei Qing’s arms, whispering, “Keep your word.”

       Pei Qing smiled slightly and said, “When did I lie to you?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought for a while and said, “Can Dad and Grandma live with us?”

       Pei Qing replied, “Of course.”

       Zhan Weiyang was very happy and asked, “What about Zhan Weiguang?”

       Pei Qing Qing thought momentarily and said, “I think he might not want to live with us.”

       Zhan Weiyang yawned, and he could hardly hold on any longer. He mumbled the last sentence, “But he can’t find a girlfriend. I feel sorry for him…” After saying this, Zhan Weiyang fell into a deep sleep.

       Pei Qing kissed his forehead and whispered, “Good night, baby.”

 

       The next day, when Zhan Pengcheng checked out, he found an extra charge. With tears in his eyes, he drove the kids back home.

Notes:
This is the end!
I think the extra charge is because some hotel might have some stain policy where the *ahem* stain get charged, lolol

       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.

       Zhan Weiyang got into college. Although it wasn’t at C University but rather a second-tier university in the city, Zhan Pengcheng was still very pleased.

       When applying for a major, Zhan Weiyang wanted to apply for botany.

       At that time, Zhan Weiguang asked what he could do after graduating from this program and that he wouldn’t be able to find a job. Zhan Weiyang immediately became unhappy.

       Zhan Pengcheng immediately said, “Study, study, you should study whatever you want.” He and Pei Qing discussed privately that if Zhan Weiyang could not find a job after graduating from university, he would open a small flower shop for him and let him work on his own, as long as he felt happy.

       Pei Qing suspected that if there were a major in the university that was a major in fortune trees, Zhan Weiyang would definitely apply for it.

       Although Zhan Weiyang did not become a fortune tree in the end, he always firmly believed that there was some kind of life connection between him and the money tree.

       Zhan Weiyang’s admission to the university made Zhan Pengcheng excited and proud. He wanted to hang a banner in the neighbourhood and blow the trumpet on the balcony every day to let everyone know that his youngest son was admitted to undergraduate studies.

       So Zhan Pengcheng made a family trip to a hotel on the mountain to soak in the hot springs.

       Grandma didn’t want to go, so she stayed home with Auntie Luo.

       To take care of Pei Qing, who was busy with work, the trip was scheduled for the weekend. It would be a two-day and one-night trip, leaving on Saturday and returning on Sunday.

       Zhan Weiguang didn’t want to go to the hot springs with his father and brother, so he tactfully told Zhan Pengcheng, “Let Qing ge take Zhan Weiyang there, and just book a room.”

       Zhan Pengcheng asked, “What about me?”

       Zhan Weiguang asked him, “Do you really want to soak in the hot springs?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “I want to go out with my son.”

       Zhan Weiguang was silent for a while and said, “Okay.” He couldn’t bear to refuse Zhan Pengcheng.

       On the day of the trip, Zhan Weiyang was sitting in the car’s back seat and was obviously in a very good mood. He was chatting with Pei Qing beside him all the way.

       Zhan Weiguang sat carelessly in the passenger seat, playing with his mobile phone.

       When Zhan Pengcheng stopped to wait for the red light, he listened carefully to what Zhan Weiyang said to Pei Qing. He heard him talking about Chen Youyou getting drunk at their class graduation dinner. He suddenly felt a little sour thinking that Zhan Weiyang had never told him about these things.

       Then, he secretly looked at Pei Qing’s expression through the rearview mirror. These topics must had been meaningless to Pei Qing, but Pei Qing’s expression was always very patient and relaxed, as if he were listening to Zhan Weiyang seriously. It seemed that no matter what Zhan Weiyang said, as long as he listened to Zhan Weiyang talking, Pei Qing would be in a good mood.

       Zhan Pengcheng couldn’t tell what he felt in his heart. After the red light passed, he drove the car and continued on the road.

       When they arrived at the hotel and checked in, Zhan Pengcheng insisted that Zhan Weiyang stay in the same room with him.

       Zhan Weiyang was originally standing at the back, dragging his small suitcase and talking to Pei Qing. When he heard what Zhan Pengcheng said, he said without thinking, “I want to stay in a room with Qing ge.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “No, you stay in a room with Dad.”

       “Why?” Zhan Weiyang didn’t understand.

       Zhan Pengcheng waved at him, “Quickly bring your ID card.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked up at Pei Qing aggrievedly.

       Pei Qing said to him, “Go, listen to Dad.”

       Zhan Weiyang then reluctantly handed over his ID card.

       Zhan Weiguang was carrying a backpack and standing at the back, waiting for Zhan Pengcheng to open a room. He saw that Zhan Weiyang looked unhappy and hooked his finger at Zhan Weiyang, “Come here.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him, then at Pei Qing, and then at him again, “What are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “Come here.”

       Zhan Weiyang walked over slowly with his small suitcase.

       Zhan Weiguang whispered in his ear, “Do you want to change rooms with me tonight?”

       Zhan Weiyang immediately showed a slightly excited expression, “Will you exchange rooms with me?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “I’ll think about it.”

       Zhan Weiyang frowned and glared at him, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

       When Zhan Weiguang saw Zhan Weiyang was about to leave, he stretched out his hand to grab his clothes and pulled him back, saying, “How about this? If you say, ‘Zhan Weiguang is the best gege in the world,’ I will find a way to change rooms with you.”

       Zhan Weiyang opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

       Zhan Weiguang sneered, “Don’t want to do it? Then forget it.” After saying that, he was about to leave.

       This time, Zhan Weiyang reached out and grabbed his backpack strap, reluctantly saying, “Zhan Weiguang is the best gege in the world.”

       Zhan Weiguang said with a smile, “Please beg me again.”

       Zhan Weiyang saw Pei Qing standing next to Zhan Pengcheng, helping him take the room card from the front desk clerk, and finally said with a hard heart, “Please.”

       Zhan Weiguang felt extremely satisfied, and he said, “Since you’ve asked me, as your older brother, it’s hard for me not to help you. For now, don’t tell Dad. I’ll come back tonight to exchange.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded quickly.

       A few of them put their luggage away in their rooms and rested for a while. Dinner was a buffet at the hotel’s restaurant, and then they returned to their rooms to change into bathrobes and went to soak in the hot springs.

       Zhan Pengcheng booked a VIP private courtyard with a separate hot spring pool. The environment was quiet and peaceful, and there was no need to squeeze in other hotel guests, and there were no noisy children.

       Zhan Weiyang took off his bathrobe, threw it on the lounge chair next to him, and put on a pair of swimming trunks to enter the pool.

       Pei Qing was already in the pool. He held out a hand to Zhan Weiyang and asked him to get down slowly.

       As soon as Zhan Weiyang entered the water, he jumped into Pei Qing’s arms and splashed a large amount of water.

       Zhan Pengcheng stood on the shore and watched them, humming softly.

       Pei Qing then supported Zhan Weiyang’s waist, helping him stand steadily and ensuring he didn’t slip. After that, he let go of him and sat down near the pool’s edge.

       Zhan Weiyang sat down next to Pei Qing, first exhaled a long breath, and then said, “It’s so hot, but it’s so comfortable.”

       Pei Qing told him, “It would be more comfortable if we came in winter.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Then let’s come in winter.”

       Zhan Pengcheng sat not far away and saw Zhan Weiyang only talking to Pei Qing. The unspeakable bitterness in his heart surged up again. He looked up and saw Zhan Weiguang taking off his bathrobe and stepping into the hot spring pool with his phone in one hand. He shouted, “What are you playing with?”

       Zhan Weiguang paused and said, “Then what should I play with?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Aren’t we going to take a hot spring bath? What if your phone falls in?”

       Zhan Weiguang then put his phone aside, sat down in the pool, and reached out to take it.

       Zhan Pengcheng said unhappily, “You just can’t live without your phone at any time!”

       Zhan Weiguang took the phone in front of him, looked at Zhan Pengcheng through the phone’s cover, secretly glanced at Zhan Weiyang, who was almost sitting on Pei Qing, and finally decided to continue playing with his phone.

       After taking a hot spring bath, Zhan Pengcheng returned to the guest room and opened the door, waiting for Zhan Weiyang to go in first before he went in himself.

       Zhan Pengcheng turned on the bathroom light and said to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, take a shower before going to bed.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Okay.” When he went into the bathroom, he took his phone with him, closed the door, and messaged Zhan Weiguang: “When will we change rooms?”

       Zhan Weiguang replied, “Wait until Dad falls asleep.”

       Zhan Weiyang was a little surprised, “Won’t it wake him up?”

       Zhan Weiguang’s words seemed to reveal impatience, “Can’t you keep your voice down?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought he was very unpleasant, so he put the phone aside and took a shower.

       The light in the kitchen was not too bright, but the orange hue was warm and peaceful. The glass windows were covered with a layer of mist, and the two people’s figures were reflected on them with only a hazy outline.

       Pei Qing handed the washed bowl to Zhan Weiyang, who rinsed it with clean water and then put it in the drain pan.

       The boring work was no longer boring because the two people divided the work and cooperated.

       The sound of the TV kept coming from the living room. Although only four people were in the spacious house, it seemed lively because of the joyful atmosphere on TV.

       After washing the bowl, Pei Qing stood before the sink to wash his hands. He pressed the hand sanitiser into his palms and said to Zhan Weiyang, “Open your hands.”

       Zhan Weiyang obediently put his hands together and spread his palms. Pei Qing turned around and put a lot of hand sanitiser in his hand on his palms, then turned around and continued to wash his hands.

       Zhan Weiyang’s hands were wet and slippery, and he rubbed them seriously before he got under the faucet.

       After washing his hands, Pei Qing said to Zhan Weiyang, “Let’s go and watch too.” He walked in front and turned off the kitchen light when he reached the door.

       The kitchen fell into darkness instantly, with only light coming in from the door.

       Zhan Weiyang ran two steps from the darkness and rushed to Pei Qing. Pei Qing reached out and hugged him, lowered his head and kissed his lips.

       Anyway, no one could see it, so they kissed carefree. Then, Pei Qing took Zhan Weiyang’s hand and walked to the living room.

       Pei Qing was actually very tired. He had been working overtime yesterday and started busying himself in the kitchen early this morning, with almost no rest.

       His income at the time was not low compared to his peers, but saving money was still challenging. He had his own plans, not only to break free from Pei Jingrong’s control but also to be able to provide a good life for Zhan Weiyang through his own efforts.

       When they came over, Zhan Pengcheng leaned back on the sofa. His eyes fell on the hands held by Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang, and he changed his posture unnaturally, turning his head to continue looking at the TV.

       Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang sat down.

       Zhan Weiguang leaned against the armrest of the sofa, watching the gala, and spoke dismissively about a female singer who was performing.

       Zhan Pengcheng was not interested in young female singers but preferred to see some familiar skit actors. He drank hot tea from a teacup and talked about the New Year when he was a child. It seemed that the New Year was more lively and interesting then, but it was much quieter now.

       Zhan Weiyang recalled that he also felt that the New Year was more lively when he was a child, but Zhan Pengcheng didn’t think so then.

       So, was it that New Year’s celebrations in the past were more vibrant, or was it just that children’s New Year’s celebrations felt more exciting? Zhan Weiyang pondered this for a while but couldn’t find an answer. He turned to look at Pei Qing and found that Pei Qing had already fallen asleep, leaning on the sofa.

       Neither Zhan Pengcheng nor Zhan Weiguang noticed.

       Zhan Weiyang quietly moved his body closer to Pei Qing and listened to his sleeping breathing beside him.

       After an unknown amount of time, Pei Qing was awakened by the TV sound. He quietly held Zhan Weiyang’s hand. Zhan Weiyang looked at him and hooked his fingers with his.

       Before twelve o’clock, Zhan Pengcheng yawned all the time. Later, he said, “You guys can watch it yourself. I’m going to bed first.”

       When Zhan Pengcheng went upstairs, Zhan Weiguang was still lying on the sofa’s armrest. He watched the boring gala for a while and then secretly went to see Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang.

       At this time, Zhan Weiyang leaned on Pei Qing’s shoulder, looking up and smiling at Pei Qing. Pei Qing lowered his head and listened to him patiently with a faint smile on his lips.

       Zhan Weiguang felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. He pretended to stretch and said, “It’s not good. I’m going to bed too.”

       Zhan Weiyang asked him, “Aren’t you waiting until twelve o’clock?”

       Zhan Weiguang said coldly, “What’s the point.” After that, he really walked upstairs.

       Zhan Weiyang looked up at Pei Qing again.

       Pei Qing lowered her head, rubbed her nose against his forehead, and asked him, “Are you still watching?”

       Zhan Weiyang wanted to say that he was still watching, but he felt that Pei Qing was already very sleepy, so he said, “Let’s not watch it anymore.”

       Pei Qing nodded, “Then go to bed.”

       They turned off the TV and walked up the stairs to the second floor together.

       Pei Qing walked behind him. He was really tired. He had just taken a short nap on the sofa, which didn’t completely relieve his fatigue. His steps were a little unstable.

       Zhan Weiyang jumped upstairs. When he reached the second floor, he felt a cool breeze blowing from the balcony. He looked up and found that the door was open a crack. It might be that Zhan Pengcheng didn’t pay attention when he closed the door just now, and the door was not completely closed.

       He walked over to close the door, and at the same time looked up. He suddenly found that it was snowing outside.

       “Wow—” Zhan Weiyang raised his hand and pushed the door open, then turned his head and looked at Pei Qing blankly, saying, “It’s snowing.”

       The cold wind blew towards Pei Qing, and the whole person woke up. He walked behind Zhan Weiyang, looked outside with him, and said, “It’s really snowing.”

       Zhan Weiyang walked out of the house excitedly. Pei Qing did not stop him; he just stood at the door and looked at him, saying, “Be careful not to catch a cold.”

       Zhan Weiyang caught some snowflakes with his palm, then looked at his fortune tree worriedly and asked, “Will my tree freeze to death?” He walked to the side of the fortune tree and subconsciously raised his hand to help it block the snowflakes.

       Pei Qing walked over, squatted opposite him, and said, “It shouldn’t.”

       But Zhan Weiyang was still very worried.

       Pei Qing actually didn’t know whether the fortune tree could withstand low temperatures. He said, “If not, we can move it in and move it out tomorrow when the snow stops.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Together, they carried the fortune tree and the flowerpot inside the house. The tree was still the same small tree, but the flowerpot was quite heavy. When they put it down, Zhan Weiyang was slightly out of breath.

       Pei Qing stood up and asked him, “Do you want to play in the snow?”

       Zhan Weiyang smiled and shook his head, “No more.”

       Pei Qing stood by the door. When he reached out to close the door, he saw the snowflakes falling continuously. He couldn’t help but reach out his hand and saw a snowflake falling on his fingertips. He turned around and wiped the snowflake on Zhan Weiyang’s nose.

       Zhan Weiyang stood still and lowered his eyes to look at the snowflake on the tip of his nose. In fact, he could no longer see anything, only a little cool water stain.

       At this moment, the New Year’s bell rang.

       In fact, there were no bells ringing, no firecrackers, just a city immersed in silence welcoming its unique New Year’s pulse. It came from the television sets of other households and from a child on a balcony somewhere in the neighbourhood, who shouted, “Happy New Year!” followed by another voice exclaiming, “It’s snowing!”

       Pei Qing looked at Zhan Weiyang and said to him warmly, “Happy New Year.”

       Zhan Weiyang’s eyes sparkled, and he suddenly felt inspired and asked, “Can I make a wish?”

       Pei Qing said, “Yes, you can make a wish at any time.”

       Zhan Weiyang clasped his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes seriously, and made a wish earnestly.

       When Zhan Weiyang finished making the wish, Pei Qing asked him, “What did you wish for?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head.

       Pei Qing asked again, “Is it different from your birthday wish?”

       Zhan Weiyang leaned close to his ear and whispered, “I’ve added one more thing. I hope Qing ge can make a lot of money.”

       Pei Qing said, “Are you starting to complain about Qing ge’s poverty?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “No, I just think you are too tired. If you have a lot of money, you won’t be so tired in the future.”

       Pei Qing looked at him silently for a while, stretched out his hand to hug him, rested his chin on his shoulder, and said, “Let Qing ge lean on you for a while. Qing ge won’t be tired anymore.”

       Zhan Weiyang stretched out his hand to pat his back as if to comfort his emotions and said, “Actually, there is more.”

       Pei Qing whispered, “What?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I wish to be admitted to university, find a good job, and then make a lot of money with you, and you won’t be working too hard in the future.”

       Pei Qing said, “Thank you.”

       Zhan Weiyang replied shyly, “You’re welcome.”

       Pei Qing asked him, “Is there anything else you want to say to me?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought for a moment and said, “Happy New Year!”

       Pei Qing nodded and continued to look at him.

       Zhan Weiyang then said, “I can support you for the rest of your life.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “Okay.”

       Zhan Weiyang felt that this was probably not what Pei Qing wanted to hear. He was a little distressed. He racked his brains for a while and finally thought of it. He shouted, “I love you!”

       Pei Qing put his index finger on her lips and whispered, “Sh—”

       Zhan Weiyang covered his mouth, his eyes curved with laughter.

       At the same time, Zhan Weiguang, who stayed in the room upstairs, was lying on the bed playing with his phone and complained, “Annoying!” Then he pulled up the quilt to cover his head.

       With the summer vacation over, Zhan Weiyang faced the toughest year of high school, the senior year. The school had strict requirements for the students in their final year; regardless of whether they were boarding or not, all students were required to attend evening self-study sessions, and Zhan Weiyang was no exception.

       Chen Youyou, despite his good grades, did not appear relaxed. He woke up early every day and returned home late. Apart from eating and sleeping, he spent all his other time reviewing his lessons.

       He was also quite troubled. He had a specific university and major in mind, but the thought of living on campus and spending extended periods with other peers caused him considerable distress.

       He thought that Zhan Weiyang should agree with him about this kind of sorrow.

       But to Chen Youyou’s surprise, Zhan Weiyang did not feel the same sorrow as him, and Zhan Weiyang had his own firm idea on this matter: he wanted to stay in the dorm.

       “Ah?” Chen Youyou asked him, “Why?”

       Zhan Weiyang buried his head while doing the questions and took the time to answer, “Because I can.”

       Chen Youyou didn’t understand, “H-how can you?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked up at him and said, “I think I can do it, so I can do it.”

       Chen Youyou didn’t say anything. He felt that Zhan Weiyang had changed in some ways, but he couldn’t tell exactly where he had changed because Zhan Weiyang was still not that smart and behaved like a child. If Chen Youyou hadn’t been with Zhan Weiyang for a long time, he wouldn’t even be able to feel the subtle changes.

       Zhan Weiyang was like the fortune tree he planted in the flower pot. While the trunk and leaves were growing slowly, they also tried hard to take root in the soil.

       His growth might not be obvious to the eyes, but his roots had been deeply buried in the soil and were difficult to shake in places one couldn’t see.

       Since Pei Jingrong left that day, he never contacted Pei Qing again. Zhan Yingfei called Pei Qing twice.

       Zhan Yingfei had heard about Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang, but her attitude was much gentler. Although she probably still did not agree in her heart, she did not express her opposition clearly in her words.

       She wanted to reconcile Pei Qing and her son. She said to Pei Qing, “You know your father is stubborn. Sometimes you need to coax him.”

       Pei Qing said to Zhan Yingfei, “Auntie, you are too kind. My father is not stubborn but arrogant. This matter is not a question of coaxing or not, but he is never willing to put himself in my shoes and think about me.”

       Zhan Yingfei was silent for a while and said, “Pei Qing, Auntie doesn’t want to say who is right or wrong, but since we’re all of a certain age and have experienced more in life, you will definitely find that the path you’ve chosen is a wrong one in the future.”

       “Auntie, there is no right or wrong path in life,” Pei Qing said, “and regret is meaningless. Just like, would you consider your previous marriage a mistake? If so, was Xueqing’s birth a mistake?”

       Zhan Yingfei did not speak.

       Pei Qing said, “Isn’t life something you walk out step by step? There’s no need to regret or look back.”

       After a while, Zhan Yingfei sighed and said, “I just think you’re too mature. In fact, you’ll be too tired if you live like this.”

       Pei Qing said to her, “Sometimes it’s very tiring. I only feel relaxed when I’m with Yangyang.”

       After that, Zhan Yingfei didn’t say anything else.

       Pei Qing knew that Pei Jingrong was arrogantly waiting for him to compromise and go back to apologise, but he knew that Pei Jingrong would never get it. He had never considered never seeing Pei Jingrong again; Pei Jingrong was still his father after all. However, the meeting did not mean compromising. If he did not compromise, Pei Jingrong would certainly not compromise either.

       He wondered if Pei Jingrong would regret it when he got old one day and recalled the current situation of the father and son.

       During the winter break of his senior year, Zhan Weiyang did not have a long vacation. Even after the school had a holiday, Zhan Weiyang spent every day at home reading and reviewing his studies.

       Pei Qing was even busier before the New Year, working overtime until late at night, and didn’t have a holiday until the day before New Year’s Eve.

       The New Year atmosphere this year was a bit awkward.

       Pei Jingrong and his wife didn’t come. Zhan Weiyang’s second uncle and his family came before the New Year, took Grandma over to celebrate, and invited Zhan Pengcheng and his family to go as well.

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t want to go because Pei Qing hadn’t had a holiday at that time, and he also wanted to review at home.

       Since Grandma left, Auntie Luo also went home for the New Year. Zhan Pengcheng was worried about Zhan Weiyang being alone at home, so he wanted to stay too and only asked Zhan Weiguang to go to his second uncle’s place to celebrate the New Year.

       Zhan Weiguang said, “I don’t want to go either.”

       Zhan Pengcheng heard him say that and said, “Then stay. Let’s celebrate the New Year together as a family.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Zhan Pengcheng and said nothing.

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Why are you looking at me?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Qing ge is also coming to celebrate the New Year.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Come, let him come. I didn’t ask him not to come, why are you so mean to me?”

       Zhan Weiyang said quickly, “I’m not mean.”

       Zhan Weiguang was lying on the sofa playing with his phone, but now he looked up at Zhan Weiyang and said, “How can you say you are not mean? Your tone was so mean just now.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m not. I’m just reminding Dad.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Okay, Dad understand. Please invite Qing Ge to celebrate the New Year together.”

       On New Year’s Eve, Zhan Pengcheng was ready to prepare a dinner for his two sons. Although he was not completely unable to cook, he had not been in the kitchen for more than ten years and had been busy since morning.

       This state continued until Pei Qing came over.

       Pei Qing washed his hands and came to help Zhan Pengcheng, and the work in the kitchen suddenly became organised.

       Zhan Pengcheng took time to rest by the door and secretly smoked a cigarette. He looked at Pei Qing’s back and said, “I wish you were my son.” His two sons were still sleeping upstairs.

       After saying this, Zhan Pengcheng suddenly felt that it was inappropriate as if he was hinting at something and not holding back at all. Although he did not object to Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang’s relationship, he still hoped that Zhan Weiyang could find a well-behaved and lovely girlfriend instead of a tall and handsome boyfriend.

       So he added, “I’m talking about being my own son.”

       Pei Qing smiled when he heard this and said nothing. He didn’t even stop what he was doing.

       When it was time to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner, Zhan Pengcheng and Pei Qing really prepared a table of dishes.

       Zhan Weiguang saw it and said, “Wow, there are too many dishes. Can we finish them?”

       Zhan Pengcheng opened the wine cabinet to find wine and said, “If you can’t finish them, you will eat leftovers every day.”

       Zhan Weiguang pointed at Zhan Weiyang with chopsticks, “It’s all for you; you must finish them all.”

       As a result, Zhan Weiyang said happily, “Okay, I will finish them all.” He knew that Pei Qing and Zhan Pengcheng made dinner, and many of them were his favourite dishes. He was looking forward to it since the afternoon.

       Seeing Zhan Pengcheng put a bottle of wine on the dining table, Zhan Weiguang said, “Dad, don’t drink.”

       Zhan Pengcheng took out a very small wine glass and showed it to him: “Just one drink.” He then added, “You all can have a little too.”

       The temperature outside was very low, and they didn’t know when the snowflakes started to fall. It didn’t snow often in this southern city, and no one knew it was snowing outside.

       The room was very warm, different from the lively atmosphere last year. Although there were fewer people and it was a little colder this year, the atmosphere was very gentle.

       Zhan Pengcheng rarely drinks now. He rarely had a small cup, so he cherished it especially and sipped it in small sips, reluctant to finish it.

       Zhan Weiyang did not stop eating all night and was very satisfied with the meal.

       After dinner, Zhan Pengcheng was a little too lazy to move. He pushed the bowl forward, looked at the messy table, and said, “Let’s clean it up tomorrow.”

       Zhan Weiguang stretched, stood up and said, “I’ll watch the gala first.” There was a female star he liked very much in this year’s Spring Festival Gala.

       At this time, Pei Qing said to Zhan Pengcheng, “I’ll wash the dishes. Uncle, you can watch the gala with Weiguang.”

       Zhan Pengcheng suddenly felt embarrassed. He said, “How can I let you do that? Let me do it.”

       Pei Qing had already stood up to clean the table and said, “It’s okay.”

       Zhan Pengcheng glanced at Zhan Weiyang and suddenly thought he had given Pei Qing his precious son. What’s there to be embarrassed about asking him to wash the dishes? So he said, “Thank you for your hard work.” Then he stood up and went to the living room.

       Zhan Weiyang was still sitting on the chair, smiling and looking up at Pei Qing. Pei Qing asked him, “What are you so happy about?” Zhan Weiyang had drunk some wine tonight and seemed a little excited. He reached out, stacked the empty bowls together, and said, “I’ll help you.”

       In the afternoon, Zhan Pengcheng asked Zhan Weiguang to accompany Pei Qing to the hospital to treat the wound on his face and the teeth he had lost.

       When Pei Qing left, Zhan Weiyang fell asleep, so Zhan Pengcheng stayed by his bed until Zhan Weiyang woke up from a deep sleep.

       When Zhan Weiyang woke up and saw Zhan Pengcheng, he suddenly asked in panic, “Where is Qing ge?” He was afraid that Pei Qing decided not to want him anymore.

       Zhan Pengcheng reached out and touched his sweaty hair, saying, “He went to the hospital and will be back soon.”

       Zhan Weiyang was still very uneasy; he asked Zhan Pengcheng, “Will Qing ge leave me?”

       Zhan Pengcheng was silent for a while and said, “How could that be?”

       Zhan Weiyang said in a low voice, “You and Mom quarrelled before, and Mom didn’t want me anymore.”

       Zhan Pengcheng retracted his hand, and after a moment, he raised his hands to cover his face. He spent a long time sorting out his emotions and finally said to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, I’m sorry.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him.

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “If you want to date, just date. You just need to know that you still have Dad and your brother no matter what happens. If Pei Qing is not good enough, you can go home to find Dad, understand?”

       Zhan Weiyang disagreed with him and said, “Qing ge is very good.”

       Zhan Pengcheng nodded, “He is very good, Dad knows.” There were more words that Zhan Pengcheng didn’t say now, but he still had a lot of time in the future and was willing to tell Zhan Weiyang slowly.

       Regardless of how far Zhan Weiyang and Pei Qing’s relationship could go, Zhan Pengcheng only hoped that Zhan Weiyang would not be hurt. But he also understood that anyone who invested their emotions was at risk of getting hurt. For the first time, he realised that he couldn’t shield Zhan Weiyang from all harm in this matter, and as Zhan Weiyang grew and he himself grew older, there were more things he wouldn’t be able to protect him from.

       In the past, Zhan Pengcheng often thought that if Zhan Weiyang never grew up, it was fine; as long as he earned enough money, he could take care of him for a lifetime. Now, he realised that Zhan Weiyang had indeed grown up, and his protection no longer worked for the adult Zhan Weiyang. Given this, Zhan Pengcheng began to hope that Zhan Weiyang would grow even more so that he would have the ability to endure and resolve harm on his own. Only then could Zhan Pengcheng truly feel at ease.

       On the way back from the hospital, Pei Qing received a call from Pei Jingrong, saying that he wanted to meet him and talk.

       Pei Qing asked Zhan Weiguang to drive him to a nearby coffee shop and then sent the address to Pei Jingrong.

       Zhan Weiguang was a little worried and asked Pei Qing, “Do you need me to accompany you?”

       Pei Qing wore a mask when he came out of the hospital to make the wound on his face less noticeable. He said, “No, you go back first. If Yangyang wakes up, tell him I will go to see him later.”

       Zhan Weiguang nodded and drove away.

       Pei Qing waited more than ten minutes, and Pei Jingrong took a taxi. The two sat in the booth by the window.

       Pei Jingrong waited until the waiter left before speaking, “Is your injury okay?”

       Pei Qing said, “The wound on my face is nothing, but I lost a big tooth, which is troublesome, and I may need a dental implant.”

       Pei Jingrong picked up a small spoon and stirred the coffee cup gently, saying, “Before making a choice, you should think about the consequences you have to bear.”

       Pei Qing said, “You are right, I have thought about it.”

       Pei Jingrong sneered when he heard it.

       Pei Qing looked at him calmly. Although the mask covered half of his face, the expression in his eyes was almost calm.

       Pei Jingrong said, “I don’t know what to say when you talk to me like that.”

       Pei Qing asked him, “What did you want to say?”

       Pei Jingrong said, “Do you think you deserve to be beaten?”

       Pei Qing said, “I can understand Uncle beating me, but I don’t think it’s necessary for you to hit me.”

       Pei Jingrong picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. “We have been father and son for so many years, and I found that I don’t understand you at all.”

       Pei Qing said, “You didn’t try to understand me.”

       Pei Jingrong said, “Some things are inconvenient to say at their house this morning. I want to ask you, how long do you think you can stay with a kid like Zhan Weiyang?”

       Pei Qing said casually, “Maybe for a lifetime.”

       Pei Jingrong sneered.

       Pei Qing said, “My mom is smart, beautiful, and highly educated, yet you didn’t stay with her for long. What right do you have to question me about such matters?”

       Pei Jingrong said, “Must you talk to me like this?”

       Pei Qing looked at him, “Don’t we always talk like this?”

       Pei Jingrong said, “I will return early tomorrow morning after today’s meeting. I’m telling you for the last time, come back with me.”

       Pei Qing didn’t say anything.

       Pei Jingrong said, “I believe that one day you will realise that you are wrong.”

       Pei Qing leaned back on the chair and said to Pei Jingrong, “Do you think that one day I will come back crying and admit my mistakes to you?”

       Pei Jingrong looked at him silently.

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “Then let’s wait and see.”

       In the evening, Pei Qing went back to see Zhan Weiyang. When he entered the living room, he saw Zhan Pengcheng and said, “I’ll come to see Yangyang and then leave. I promised him that I would come back.”

       Zhan Pengcheng seemed to feel a little embarrassed. He stood up from the sofa, put his hands in his jacket pockets, looked at Pei Qing and asked, “Is the injury serious?”

       Pei Qing shook her head, “It’s nothing.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Yangyang is in his room; just go up.”

       Pei Qing heard Zhan Pengcheng’s words and realised that he had compromised for Zhan Weiyang, so he just nodded, didn’t say much, and went upstairs from the stairs.

       Zhan Weiyang sat on his bed in a daze.

       After Pei Qing went in, he pulled the chair beside the table to the bed and sat down facing Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him with his lifeless eyes wide open.

       Pei Qing asked him, “Do you feel better?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer but reached out and gently touched Pei Qing’s face through the mask.

       Pei Qing took off the mask and showed him both cheeks, which were still swollen.

       Zhan Weiyang asked him, “Does it hurt?”

       Pei Qing said, “It still hurts a little bit.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked very sad.

       Pei Qing said to him, “But it won’t hurt if Yangyang touches it.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “You lied to me. You will still feel pain if I touch you.”

       Pei Qing told him, “Humans are very powerful. They can bear all kinds of harm to protect the people they love. At this time, as long as you tell yourself that it doesn’t hurt, it really won’t hurt.”

       Zhan Weiyang asked him, “Can trees do that?”

       Pei Qing said, “Of course trees can. You see, in order to root themselves, trees can have endless power. As long as there is something they want to stick to, they can resist all kinds of harm, whether it is verbal harm or physical harm.”

       “Verbal harm?” Zhan Weiyang said silently.

       Pei Qing told him, “Yes, just like others say you are an idiot—this is verbal harm. Do you have something you want to stick to to resist this kind of harm?”

       “Yes,” Zhan Weiyang looked at him, “I want to protect you, as well as Dad and Grandma.” After saying that, he silently counted Zhan Weiguang in his heart.

       Pei Qing smiled, “If you want to protect so many people, then you must not care about this kind of harm, understand?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I understand. I’m not an idiot. It’s just that people don’t understand me.”

       Pei Qing opened his arms and let Zhan Weiyang rush over to hug him, saying, “Yangyang is amazing.”

       Pei Jingrong’s move was so sudden that no one else had time to stop him.

       Zhan Weiguang subconsciously took two steps forward.

       Zhan Pengcheng felt that he had hit Pei Qing hard and felt somewhat guilty. Seeing Pei Jingrong’s move, he could not help but move his body. Unfortunately, before he could stand up, Pei Jingrong had already punched Pei Qing in the face.

       And Grandma cried ‘Oh my’ and tried to stand up by holding the armrest of the sofa. She shook her body twice and was too anxious to stand up. She said, “Why are you hitting him? Don’t hit him! Can’t you talk it out nicely?”

       Pei Jingrong pointed at Pei Qing and said coldly, “You’re already a college graduate with a job, and instead of setting a good example, you’re getting involved in all sorts of inappropriate things, dragging your younger cousin along with you! Don’t you know what Yangyang’s situation is? Talking about dating—don’t you find that ridiculous? You’re just deceiving a child!”

       Pei Qing’s cheeks were both now red and swollen. He looked up at Pei Jingrong and said nothing.

       Pei Jingrong grabbed Pei Qing’s collar with his hand, “Go, apologise to your uncle, apologise to Yangyang! Quit your job here immediately and go back with me!”

       Pei Qing spoke; his voice was even more unclear than before, and his accent sounded a little funny, but no one could laugh at this time. He said, “You’ve already mentioned that I’m a graduate with a job, so I can make decisions for my own life.”

       Pei Jingrong said angrily, “But you are not qualified to make decisions for other people’s children! Especially a child like Yangyang, who has incomplete intellectual development! Do you think that your uncle and others don’t dare to call the police to arrest you?”

       This time, before Pei Qing spoke, Zhan Weiyang suddenly stood up and said, “I’m not an idiot!” His voice was loud, even a little sharp and harsh.

       Zhan Pengcheng and Pei Qing shouted at the same time, “Yangyang.”

       Zhan Weiyang seemed not to hear. He was very emotional, still shouting sharply, “I’m not an idiot! I’m not an idiot! I’m not an idiot!” He shouted until his voice was almost hoarse, like a frightened and mad little animal, stomping his feet and spinning in place.

       At this time, not only Pei Qing and the others, but even Pei Jingrong looked at Zhan Weiyang worriedly, stretched out his hand to hold Zhan Weiyang’s arm, and said, “Yangyang, calm down. No one said you are an idiot.”

       Zhan Weiyang refused to let him touch him and asked loudly, “Why can’t I date? Is it because an idiot can’t date, or is it that Zhan Weiyang can’t date?”

       Pei Jingrong was speechless for a while.

       Pei Qing went forward and hugged Zhan Weiyang, whispering, “No, of course you can date.”

       Zhan Weiyang cried. He shed tears while saying, “Then what should I do? Should I just act like an idiot? Am I not being obedient enough?”

       Zhan Weiguang looked at them, and suddenly tears welled up, his eyes were red.

       Zhan Pengcheng stretched out a hand to Zhan Weiyang and then put it down.

       Zhan Weiyang cried so painfully that he could hardly breathe. He opened his mouth and panted as he said, “I won’t swim anymore. I’ll see a doctor and take medicine, okay? I don’t want to be an idiot. I just want to be with Qing ge.”

       At this time, Grandma raised her hand and wiped the tears from her face.

       Zhan Pengcheng broke down, held his head with his hands, and squatted on the ground.

       Pei Qing picked up Zhan Weiyang and said to him, “Let’s go back to the room to rest, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang hugged Pei Qing’s shoulders, still crying hard.

       Pei Qing held him and walked towards the stairs. Everyone looked at him in a daze, and no one stopped him.

       As they went to the second floor, Pei Qing carried Zhan Weiyang back to his room, gently put him on the bed, removed his slippers, covered him with a quilt, and adjusted the air conditioner to a suitable temperature.

       Zhan Weiyang’s face was full of tears. Pei Qing lay on the bed and pulled a tissue to help him wipe his face.

       “Am I an idiot?” Zhan Weiyang asked Pei Qing hoarsely.

       Pei Qing answered him, “Of course not.” His movements were very light.

       At this time, Zhan Pengcheng followed up to the second floor. He stood at the door of Zhan Weiyang’s room without going in, looking inside through the gap left by the door.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “They all said I am an idiot.”

       Pei Qing said, “They didn’t say that, and you weren’t an idiot in the first place. You just couldn’t communicate with them well.”

       Zhan Weiyang’s tears were still flowing, but his voice wasn’t so hoarse anymore. He sobbed and asked Pei Qing, “Why can’t we communicate?”

       Pei Qing changed a clean tissue, wiped his tears, thought for a while, and said, “Do you know that when foreigners talk to Chinese people because they can’t communicate well in Chinese, they often make the foreigner look clumsy?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him very seriously and listened to him, “Really?”

       Pei Qing said, “Yes, in fact, they are not an idiot. When Chinese peoplecommunicate with them in foreign languages, they also think Chinese people sound like an idiot.”

       Zhan Weiyang’s moist eyes reflected the flickering light, but his tears didn’t continue to flow.

       Pei Qing smiled, but the injury on his face was pulled when he smiled, and he grimaced in pain. He continued, “So you are not an idiot; it’s just that they don’t understand you, and actually, they are an idiot too.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “But I have brain damage.”

       “No,” Pei Qing said, “Didn’t you drown when you were swimming as a child? But you are a fortune tree; how can you be afraid of water?”

       Zhan Weiyang opened his eyes wide.

       Pei Qing said, “Look at all the flowers, plants, and trees on the balcony. How much water will enter when it rains? They never get sick because of drowning; how can you?”

       Zhan Weiyang felt enlightened.

       Pei Qing gently tapped Zhan Weiyang’s head with his finger, “My Yangyang is born different. You are a fortune tree that needs water for irrigation, so there must be obstacles in communicating with ordinary people. People don’t understand trees, and trees don’t understand people, but this tree has many, many ideas in its head. It is the smartest tree in the world.”

       Zhan Weiyang asked, “Am I?”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “Otherwise, why can’t other trees understand me? Only you can understand?”

       Zhan Weiyang opened his arms and hugged Pei Qing tightly. He said, “I’m so happy!”

       Pei Qing didn’t care about the pain of the wound on his face, hugged him tightly with her arms, and said, “Well, Yangyang finally figured it out.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yeah.”

       Pei Qing said to him, “That’s why you are the smartest fortune tree.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded vigorously.

       Zhan Pengcheng quietly stepped back and reached out to close the door. He turned around and wanted to go downstairs, but he saw Zhan Weiguang standing at the stairs, looking at him.

       Zhan Weiguang’s face still showed obvious traces of tears. He said to Zhan Pengcheng, “I’m sorry.”

       Zhan Pengcheng was stunned momentarily and said, “Why are you saying sorry?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “It’s all because of me.”

       Zhan Pengcheng understood what he meant, so he walked towards him and hugged him. It was then that Zhan Pengcheng suddenly realised that his eldest son was already taller than himself.

       “Dad,” Zhan Weiguang said, “give Yangyang a bit of confidence. He really isn’t completely clueless. Why not try just once and listen to what he and Qing ge have to say?”

       Zhan Pengcheng nodded tiredly, “I understand.”

       He let go of Zhan Weiguang and walked downstairs.

       Grandma was still crying in the living room, and Auntie Luo was sitting next to her and trying to persuade her.

       And Pei Jingrong stood at the door, looking outside with a serious expression.

       Zhan Pengcheng walked over and said to Pei Jingrong, “Yangyang is not very stable. Let’s talk about this later. So let’s stay and have lunch together later?”

       Pei Jingrong turned around and said to him, “My morning meeting has been temporarily adjusted to the afternoon. I have other arrangements at noon, so I won’t disturb you.”

       Zhan Pengcheng did not force him to stay either.

       Pei Jingrong was silent for a moment and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to hurt Yangyang.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “I know. I might be the one who hurt him in the beginning. You don’t need to worry about it.”

       Pei Jingrong didn’t know what to say for a while, nodded and walked out the door.

The author has something to say:
Why have I been so diligent recently? Because my back is uncomfortable. Whether I’m lying down or leaning on the bed, it doesn’t feel good, so I sit for a while, stand for a while, and continue writing when I have nothing else to do.

       Pei Qing obviously didn’t expect to see Pei Jingrong at this time, and he subconsciously called out, “Dad?”

       Pei Jingrong’s eyes first fell on Zhan Weiyang’s face beside him and then looked at their hands that were still clasped together.

       The elevator door opened and was about to close. Pei Jingrong quickly stretched out his hand to open the door and walked out. He stood in front of the two people with his tall body and asked, “Why is Yangyang here? Where are you going so early in the morning?”

       Zhan Weiyang stared at him blankly and didn’t even remember what to say.

       Pei Qing, on the other hand, asked, “Why are you here?”

       Pei Jingrong looked unhappy and said in a low voice, “I came to see you.” Seeing that Pei Qing was still looking at him, he added, “I arrived last night. I had a meeting this morning, and I came here specially while it was still early.”

       Some time ago, Zhan Yingfei contacted Pei Qing to ask for his current address, and Pei Qing knew to tell Zhan Yingfei. Zhan Yingfei said that she would come to see Pei Qing when she was free the next time, but unexpectedly, Pei Jingrong came first.

       Pei Jingrong asked again, “Where are you going so early?”

       Pei Qing said, “I’m taking Yangyang home.”

       Pei Jingrong looked at their hands, “Did Yangyang sleep here last night?”

       Pei Qing replied, “Yes.”

       Pei Jingrong was much more sensitive than Zhan Pengcheng, and he had always had some thoughts about the fact that Pei Qing was popular with girls but had never been in a relationship until he graduated from college. He was somewhat suspicious at this time. Regardless of whether Zhan Weiyang intelligence was normal or not, he was a beautiful boy of 17 or 18 years old after all. Pei Qing holding hands with him outside was inappropriate in Pei Jingrong’s opinion.

       He then asked Zhan Weiyang, “Does Yangyang often stay overnight here?”

       Although Pei Jingrong’s tone was gentle, Zhan Weiyang always felt that something was not quite right, and instead of answering, he looked to Pei Qing for help.

       Pei Qing said to Pei Jingrong, “You can ask me anything you want to ask; don’t test Yangyang.”

       Pei Jingrong’s face darkened when he heard his words, “What do you mean by testing? What do you think I am testing?”

       Zhan Weiyang held Pei Qing’s hand tightly with some fear.

       Pei Qing said, “Dad, don’t be angry, you scared Yangyang.”

       Pei Jingrong took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

       Pei Qing said, “I will send Yangyang back now. Do you want to go with us?”

       Pei Jingrong said, “I have a meeting later.”

       Pei Qing reached out and pressed the elevator, “Then, after you finish the meeting, if you are still interested, you can contact me.”

       The elevator door opened again, and Pei Qing took Zhan Weiyang’s hand and went in.

       Zhan Weiyang carefully hid behind Pei Qing, looking at Pei Jingrong over Pei Qing’s shoulder.

       Pei Jingrong also came into the elevator. As the elevator descended, he said, “Pei Qing, you are already an adult. You know what’s going on with Zhan Weiyang.”

       At this time, Zhan Weiyang couldn’t help but whisper, “I am also an adult.”

       As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jingrong looked at him. He felt that Pei Jingrong was particularly fierce. He was a little scared but insisted, “I am not an idiot either.”

       Pei Qing suddenly turned his head to look at Zhan Weiyang. He raised his hand to hug Zhan Weiyang, patted him on the back, and said, “Of course you are not.”

       When the elevator door opened, Pei Jingrong walked out. He turned around and said to Pei Qing, “I will come to see you in the afternoon.”

       Pei Qing nodded calmly.

       They arrived at the Zhan family quite early. Zhan Pengcheng had just gotten up and didn’t want to wake up Zhan Weiyang. He went downstairs alone to eat breakfast and then arranged the flowers and plants on the balcony on the second floor.

       When Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang returned, Zhan Pengcheng saw them from a distance. He was stunned at first, but when he realised that the person was Zhan Weiyang, he could not suppress his anger.

       When Pei Qing rang the doorbell, Auntie Luo came out of the kitchen in a hurry to open the door, but Zhan Pengcheng had already run down from the second floor.

       He opened the door and punched Pei Qing in the face.

       “Oh my!” Auntie Luo, who was following Zhan Pengcheng, screamed in fear and raised her hand to cover her mouth.

       Zhan Weiyang also pulled Pei Qing away in panic and stood in front of him, shouting, “Dad is crazy!”

       Zhan Pengcheng said angrily, “Dad is not crazy!  It’s this bastard boy that I’m beating that’s crazy!”

       Pei Qing’s cheek soon became red and swollen. He opened his mouth, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he also spit out a bloody tooth.

       Zhan Pengcheng’s punch was merciless and directly knocked out one of Pei Qing’s teeth.

       “When did you take Yangyang out?” Zhan Pengcheng asked angrily.

       Pei Qing opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

       Zhan Weiyang said loudly, “I ran away secretly! I ran away alone!”

       At this time, Grandma was startled, and she walked out tremblingly from inside, holding the wall, looking around and asked, “What’s the matter?” After asking, she saw the blood at the corner of Pei Qing’s mouth and the teeth on the ground, and said in panic, “What’s wrong with xiao Qing?”

       Pei Qing comforted her in an unclear voice, “It’s okay, grandma.”

       Zhan Weiyang squatted down, picked up Pei Qing’s bloody teeth on the ground with his hands, and stood up sadly to look at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing touched his head and said, “It’s nothing, don’t be afraid.”

       Zhan Pengcheng’s anger finally subsided a little at this time. He also looked at the tooth in Zhan Weiyang’s hand, then Pei Qing’s red and swollen face, and said, “Let’s go to the hospital first.”

       Pei Qing said, “It doesn’t matter. It’s already fallen out anyway. There’s no rush.”

       Zhan Pengcheng stretched out his hand to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, come back.”

       Zhan Weiyang stepped back and stood behind Pei Qing, lowering his eyes and not looking at Zhan Pengcheng.

       Pei Qing asked Zhan Pengcheng, “Can we talk, Uncle?”

       Zhan Pengcheng didn’t answer. He was looking at Pei Qing, but his eyes suddenly looked over Pei Qing’s shoulder and into the distance.

       Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang turned their heads at the same time and saw Pei Jingrong, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walking towards them.

       No one knew why Pei Jingrong, who should have been in a meeting, suddenly appeared here.

       Zhan Weiyang felt even more nervous and looked up at Pei Qing. Pei Qing leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Don’t be afraid; gege is here.”

       Zhan Weiguang was awakened by the noise downstairs early in the morning. He pulled the quilt over his head and didn’t want to get up, but he heard Zhan Weiyang shouting. He couldn’t help but get out of bed. He first leaned over to the window and took a look. He didn’t see anyone, so he changed his clothes and went down from the third floor.

       When he walked to the first floor, he saw that the sofa in the living room was full of people. In addition to Zhan Pengcheng and Grandma, Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang were also there, and there was a tall man. Zhan Weiguang saw the back at first and couldn’t recognise who it was until he walked to the side and found that it was Pei Jingrong.

       When did Pei Jingrong come?

       Zhan Weiguang was startled and subconsciously looked at Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang.

       The atmosphere in the living room was very solemn. No one spoke. Zhan Weiguang came down late and didn’t know what they had talked before.

       At this time, Pei Jingrong stood up, walked to Pei Qing, and asked, “Is what your uncle said just now true?”

       Pei Qing looked up at him, “It’s true.”

       Pei Jingrong saw his red and swollen cheek and asked, “Did your uncle hit you?”

       Pei Qing nodded.

       Hearing this, Pei Jingrong suddenly raised his fist and hit Pei Qing hard on the other cheek, then said, “That was an excellent punch!”

       Zhan Weiyang lay motionless on the bed. He didn’t fall asleep, but he just didn’t want to move. After a long time, he heard no movement outside. Maybe even Zhan Pengcheng had gone back to his room to sleep. He slowly raised his head, moved his body, stuck his head out of the bed, and took a look at the cake on the floor.

       The cake was not big; it was placed in a box, tied with a ribbon outside, and tied with a knot on the top.

       Zhan Weiyang looked at the time. It was precisely eleven at night, and only one hour was left before his eighteenth birthday.

       Thinking of the last hour, Zhan Weiyang suddenly became emotional. He got up from the bed, changed his clothes and put on socks in a hurry, put his keys and mobile phone in his trouser pockets, picked up the cake on the floor, and walked out stealthily.

       He turned off the lights in his room, closed the door very gently, and didn’t turn on the lights in the corridor. He touched the wall and went downstairs timidly.

       After sneaking out of the house, Zhan Weiyang carried the cake and walked out of the neighbourhood while calling a taxi with his mobile phone.

       When he came out of the neighbourhood gate, he saw that the taxi had stopped by the roadside. He hurried over, opened the door, got in the car, and told the driver Pei Qing’s address.

       Pei Qing sent a WeChat message to Zhan Weiyang more than an hour ago, asking him if he was okay now, but Zhan Weiyang did not answer. At that time, Pei Qing hesitated whether to call Zhan Weiyang but was afraid that Zhan Pengcheng would be watching Zhan Weiyang, so he looked at the phone number but still did not dial it.

       He usually slept at this time, but today, his mood was really complicated. Pei Qing took a shower and lay on the bed, and he couldn’t fall asleep at all.

       Zhan Pengcheng’s reaction was actually better than he had anticipated. He had expected more intense blame or even to be hit, but none of that happened. Perhaps Zhan Pengcheng was mindful of the fact that they were in a public place.

       Now that it had begun, it became easier to continue. Pei Qing thought to himself that he must make time to go to Zhan’s house again tomorrow.

       Even if Zhan Pengcheng didn’t want to see him, he had to go see Zhan Weiyang so that Zhan Weiyang wouldn’t have wild thoughts at home.

       With the weak light shining into the room from the window, Pei Qing looked at the outline of the room, thinking idly that he would still have to buy a house in a few years. It didn’t need to be too big; after all, he and Zhan Weiyang would live together, but the inside definitely had to be comfortable.

       Just at this time, Pei Qing heard a knock on the door.

       At first, he thought he had heard it wrong, so he looked at the time on his mobile phone. It was already half past eleven.

       But the knock on the door sounded again, and he reached out to turn on the table lamp on the bedside table, got out of bed and walked outside.

       As soon as he opened the door, Zhan Weiyang stood at the door and threw himself into his arms.

       Pei Qing quickly reached out and hugged Zhan Weiyang, asking, “Why are you here so late?”

       The cake box in Zhan Weiyang’s hand shook, and he hurried in and said, “I’m afraid I can’t make it to twelve o’clock to eat cake with you.”

       Pei Qing picked him up, turned him half a circle, and put him on the ground, saying, “Happy birthday, my baby.”

       They put the cake on the dining table.

       Pei Qing unpacked it, put in the candles, and found the lighter at home. He lit the candles first, then turned off the lights in the room. He then sat down face to face with Zhan Weiyang and sang a birthday song for Zhan Weiyang.

       The orange-red light of the candles was reflected in Zhan Weiyang’s eyes, which kept jumping as if they were stars. He kept looking at Pei Qing and waited until the whole song was finished, holding his hands, closing his eyes and making a wish for himself.

       He thought silently: I hope Dad stop getting angry, Grandma’s health will get better soon, Zhan Weiguang can be more sensible, and Qing ge will always be with me.

       Then he blew out the candles in one breath.

       Pei Qing turned on a small spotlight above his head and handed the knife to Zhan Weiyang to cut the cake.

       Zhan Weiyang looked very focused, wanting to cut the piece of cake with a big cherry in the middle for Pei Qing to eat.

       Because it was late at night, it was very quiet around, Pei Qing spoke softly and asked him, “Did you sneak out?”

       Zhan Weiyang asked curiously: “How did you know?” He carefully cut the piece of cake with the cherry and gave it to Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing took the small plate and said with a smile, “Thank you.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Eat it quickly, eat it quickly.”

       Pei Qing thought it was too late, and it was not convenient to send Zhan Weiyang back now. So he should get up early tomorrow morning to send him there and find an opportunity to chat with Zhan Pengcheng as well.

       The whole cake was too much for two people to finish, so Pei Qing put the rest in the refrigerator.

       It was past twelve o’clock at that time. Zhan Weiyang was a little melancholy. He stood in front of the sofa in the living room and said, “My eighteenth birthday is over.”

       Pei Qing came over, hugged him from behind, and whispered in his ear, “How come? From now until this day next year, you are eighteen years old.”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his head to look at him.

       Pei Qing kissed his lips and said, “It tastes sweet like cream.”

       Zhan Weiyang smiled and said, “You have it too.”

       When lying on the bed, Zhan Weiyang got into Pei Qing’s arms, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, “It’s the second day of my eighteenth birthday.”

       Pei Qing couldn’t help laughing and said, “And?”

       Zhan Weiyang bumped him with his elbow.

       Pei Qing looked at him quietly for a while in the dim environment with a smile on his lips and then kissed Zhan Weiyang’s lips.

       Zhan Weiyang thought it was just a sweet kiss, but he didn’t expect Pei Qing’s kiss to leave his lips, slide across his neck, and go all the way down. Zhan Weiyang covered his lips, opened his eyes wide and looked down, panicked and scared, but did not reach out to pull Pei Qing away.

       Later, Pei Qing hugged him and said, “Are you asleep?”

       Zhan Weiyang was still panting slightly and felt something was wrong, so he said, “What about you?”

       Pei Qing rubbed his face with the tip of his nose. “I’m very happy, too. Everything that belongs to Yangyang is mine.”

       Zhan Weiyang felt tired at this time and yawned.

       Pei Qing whispered, “Count down to three, two, one, and see who falls asleep first.”

       When Zhan Weiyang heard the countdown, he got nervous and said, “Immediately, immediately!” He immediately straightened his body and closed his eyes. When Pei Qing really counted down to ‘one’, Zhan Weiyang seemed hypnotised, and his consciousness became blurred.

       Zhan Weiyang slept very deeply this time, but he didn’t sleep too long. Pei Qing woke him up early the next morning.

       He opened his eyes halfway with difficulty and said hoarsely, “Hmm?”

       Pei Qing said, “Get up. If you go back late, your father will look for you.”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his hand to rub his eyes and asked, “What time is it?”

       Pei Qing told him, “It’s already eight o’clock.” In fact, it was only seven o’clock.

       Zhan Weiyang told Pei Qing in a sticky voice, “But I still want to sleep.”

       Pei Qing said, “Can you sleep after you go back? You have to get up now, or should I leave first?”

       When Zhan Weiyang heard Pei Qing say he was leaving, he opened his eyes quickly and said, “I’m up.”

       Pei Qing urged him to wash his face and brush his teeth and then took his hand and went out.

       Zhan Weiyang was still yawning as he walked. He thought about going home and said, “My father is going to lose his temper again.”

       Pei Qing said, “Your father is right to lose his temper; don’t blame him.”

       They stood at the elevator door, waiting for the elevator to come up from the first floor. After more than ten seconds, the elevator had arrived. The elevator door slowly opened, and Pei Qing saw an unexpected figure appear in the elevator.

       Pei Jingrong was standing in the elevator wearing a suit and tie. When he saw them, he frowned slightly.

       The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

       Zhan Pengcheng looked at Pei Qing for a while and asked him, “What?” He felt that he did not understand what Pei Qing meant.

       Pei Qing said, “It means that.” After saying that, he thought about it and added, “Actually, Yangyang is still young now, and I understand that Uncle is more nervous about him than other parents, so I think I should let you know first.”

       Zhan Pengcheng sensed that something was off, and his hand shook. He accidentally knocked over the empty beer bottle on the table and made a sound.

       Zhan Weiguang was startled, thinking that Zhan Pengcheng was going to make a move, and quickly reached out to hold Zhan Pengcheng’s wrist and said, “Dad!”

       Zhan Pengcheng was not in the mood to pay attention to Zhan Weiguang, so he pushed Zhan Weiguang’s hand away and looked straight at Pei Qing, “What do you mean?”

       This time, before Pei Qing answered, Zhan Weiyang couldn’t help but say first, “Dad, Qing ge and I are dating!”

       Even though he had guessed it in his heart, Zhan Pengcheng was still filled with anger at the word ‘dating’. He stood up suddenly and pointed his finger at Pei Qing.

       The waiter standing in the distance looked in their direction nervously.

       Zhan Weiguang couldn’t help but persuade him, “Dad, sit down first.”

       Zhan Pengcheng asked, “What dating? Who are you dating? Do you know how old Yangyang is? And, and Yangyang is a boy. Do you know what you are doing?”

       Pei Qing answered him, “Of course I know. Uncle, can you listen to me first?”

       “What do I need to listen to?!” Zhan Pengcheng was obviously very angry, “What nonsense are you talking about? What dating? Aren’t you just toying with a child who is ignorant?”

       He spoke so loudly that even the guests at the next table were alarmed.

       The waiter came over and asked carefully, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

       Zhan Pengcheng didn’t want to argue about Zhan Weiyang in front of strangers. He just shouted angrily at the frightened Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, go back now!”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Pei Qing in panic, grabbed Pei Qing’s hand, and said, “I won’t go back.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said to Zhan Weiguang, “Take your brother back!”

       Zhan Weiguang couldn’t help but said, “Dad, don’t be so emotional.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “I’m not emotional. If I were, I would hit him to death with a bottle!”

       Pei Qing knew that Zhan Pengcheng was angry now and would not listen to anything he said. He wanted to wait until he calmed down before everyone sat down and talked slowly. Besides, this was not a place suitable for quarrels, so he comforted Zhan Weiyang and said, “Go home with your dad first.”

       Zhan Weiyang was very sad and said, “Can I not?”

       Zhan Pengcheng had left his seat and walked around, stretched out his hand to pull Zhan Weiyang’s arm, “Go with Dad!”

       Pei Qing was afraid that Zhan Pengcheng would get angry and hurt Zhan Weiyang. He pulled Zhan Weiyang’s hand away and said to him, “Go back first. I will come to see you soon. Don’t be afraid.”

       Zhan Weiyang was pulled up by Zhan Pengcheng.

       Zhan Pengcheng pulled him outside and said to Zhan Weiguang, “Let’s go.”

       Zhan Weiyang stumbled and kept looking back at Pei Qing.

       Zhan Weiguang had no choice but to get up and leave. Before he left, he said to Pei Qing, “Now isn’t the right time.”

       Pei Qing replied, “I know, but there is no real right time.”

       Maybe in a few years, when Zhan Weiyang was in his twenties, or even almost thirty, Zhan Pengcheng might not be so nervous.

       However, that timing was only suitable for Zhan Pengcheng, not him and Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiguang said, “I will persuade my father.”

       But until he returned home, Zhan Weiguang did not find a suitable time to persuade Zhan Pengcheng.

       Zhan Pengcheng was furious, and almost the entire way, he kept cursing Pei Qing. It wasn’t baseless insults, though; he was saying that Pei Qing had bad intentions, taking advantage of Zhan Weiyang’s naivety and coaxing the young boy into a relationship with him. His reaction was quite similar to Zhan Weiguang’s when he first found out about the situation.

       Because Zhan Pengcheng was drunk, Zhan Weiguang was driving on the way back.

       Zhan Weiguang listened to his father all the way and couldn’t help but say, “Qing ge is not like this. Have you ever considered that he is serious about Zhan Weiyang?”

       Zhan Pengcheng said angrily, “That’s homosexual! That’s not okay! I don’t care whether he is or not. Anyway, my Yangyang is not! He is not allowed to lead Yangyang astray!”

       Zhan Weiyang kept his head down and didn’t say a word.

       When they returned home, both Grandma and Auntie Luo had already gone back to their rooms to watch TV, leaving the living room empty and quiet.

       Zhan Pengcheng grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s hand and said, “Come here; Dad has something to tell you.”

       Zhan Weiyang still kept his head down and didn’t say a word.

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “Listen, you are still immature, but there are some things that Dad must tell you. Although Pei Qing is your older cousin, he is already an adult man. You cannot allow any adult man or adult woman to do anything intimate with you, understand? It is even more unacceptable if they say they want to date you. They are not little girls in school. They have bad intentions!”

       Zhan Weiyang finally raised his head and roared, “I am also already eighteen years old, and I am also an adult man.”

       At this time, Zhan Weiguang went to park the car and walked in with the car keys in his hand. He just heard Zhan Weiyang’s words and could not help but pause.

       Zhan Pengcheng was stunned by his yelling and said, “Your situation is different.”

       Zhan Weiyang was very angry and said to his father, “I’m not an idiot! I know who treats me well and who doesn’t! I can date the person I like! Even if you are my father, you are not allowed to say such a thing!”

       Zhan Pengcheng was a little anxious. He grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s wrist and said, “Of course you are not an idiot. You are my father’s little baby. There are many bad people in society. You don’t understand because you have never been in contact with them. Dad will slowly teach you in the future.”

       Zhan Weiyang shook off his hand and turned to run upstairs, saying as he ran, “I’m not going to listen! I hate Dad the most!”

       Zhan Weiguang couldn’t help but look at Zhan Pengcheng’s face when he heard it. He froze in place and his face seemed to be a little pale.

       After a while, Zhan Pengcheng turned around and asked Zhan Weiguang, “What should we do?”

       Zhan Weiguang avoided his gaze and walked inside, saying, “How should I know.”

       A little later, Zhan Pengcheng felt that Zhan Weiyang had probably calmed down. He carried a box of birthday cake and walked to the door of Zhan Weiyang’s room. He knocked on the door first, then gently opened the door and walked in while singing the birthday song.

       Zhan Weiyang was lying firmly on the bed, with his head, face, hands and feet all pressed against the bed without any gap. At this time, he finally raised his head and looked at Zhan Pengcheng.

       Zhan Pengcheng thought he had cried, but when he saw that Zhan Weiyang’s face was still clean, he was relieved. He walked to the bedside, picked up the cake in his hand and showed it to Zhan Weiyang, saying, “Yangyang, shall we eat the cake?”

       Zhan Weiyang said weakly, “I don’t want to eat it.”

       Zhan Pengcheng put the cake aside, sat down on the bedside, reached out to touch his head, and said to him, “Today is your birthday. We have to celebrate it happily. Wait until today is over, and Dad will explain other things to you slowly, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything.

       Zhan Pengcheng continued, “People are complicated. I’m not saying Pei Qing is a bad person, but no one is absolutely good or absolutely bad. Dad also likes Pei Qing and thinks he is a good person, but he did something wrong in this matter. Do you understand?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I don’t understand.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “It’s okay, Dad will tell you, and then you will understand. Do you want to get up and eat the cake now?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “But I don’t want to see Dad.”

       Zhan Pengcheng looked at him silently for a while and said, “Then Dad will go out. You didn’t eat much for dinner. If you are hungry later, remember to eat the cake.”

       After that, Zhan Pengcheng sighed, got up and left.
