Category: The Capture Target Came Out Wrong (Page 1 of 8)

       After Zhan Weiguang laughed, he calmed down again and looked at Zhan Weiyang in silence.

       Zhan Weiyang was concentrating on fiddling with his new phone as if he were completely immersed in another world.

       Zhan Weiguang and Zhan Weiyang were brothers, and they grew up together. To this day, Zhan Weiguang still remembered many details of the day when Zhan Weiyang fell into the water, even the ripples on the water’s surface caused by the sunlight coming in from the skylight of the swimming pool.

       He used to think that if he hadn’t argued with the boy who accidentally kicked him that day, his father would not have ignored Zhan Weiyang to pull them apart, and Zhan Weiyang would not have drowned.

       Zhan Weiguang wondered what Zhan Weiyang would be like if he hadn’t almost drowned. He figured that Weiyang probably wouldn’t be much like him—he’d likely be more cheerful, more radiant, and more likeable. Perhaps they could have become decent brothers, not too close, but able to play basketball and video games together, sharing some of their thoughts and secrets.

       Zhan Weiguang watched Zhan Weiyang grow up little by little. He thought he knew Zhan Weiyang well enough, and he didn’t even need to talk to him. He saw everything about Zhan Weiyang, and he could guess his reaction when Zhan Weiyang spoke.

       But today, Zhan Weiguang found for the first time that he still didn’t know Zhan Weiyang well enough. He didn’t know what Zhan Weiyang was thinking.

       He always thought that one day, when they were older and after their grandmother and father had passed away, his mentally underdeveloped brother would have no one else to rely on but him. He never considered shirking that responsibility. In fact, he even thought that if his future girlfriend couldn’t accept his brother’s presence, he would still stand by him. It just didn’t occur to him that he wasn’t even in Zhan Weiyang’s plans for the future.

       Zhan Weiguang looked at Zhan Weiyang for a long time, and suddenly he couldn’t control his emotions, and tears came out all of a sudden. He hadn’t shed tears for many years. The last time he cried in his memory was when his parents divorced and his mother left home with luggage. He stood in front of the window and looked at his mother’s back. At that time, he shed tears silently, and raised his hand and wiped them away quickly.

       But now, Zhan Weiguang didn’t know why he was crying. The emotion came so suddenly that it brought him back to many past experiences in an instant, the swimming pool on the afternoon when Zhan Weiyang drowned, the morning when his mother left with the box, and then he saw Zhan Weiyang holding someone else’s hand with a blurred face for a long time, leaving him with an unclear back.

       Zhan Weiyang had already installed WeChat to log in to his account. He wanted to video chat with Pei Qing, but Zhan Weiguang was still in his room.

       He couldn’t ask Zhan Weiguang to leave directly and wanted to find a more tactful sentence to let him leave by himself, so he raised his head and looked at Zhan Weiguang carefully. Then, he found that Zhan Weiguang was crying.

       Zhan Weiyang was a little dumbfounded. He seemed to have never seen Zhan Weiguang cry. He was so surprised at this moment that he didn’t even notice that the phone in his hand fell on the bed.

       He thought about it and thought that Zhan Weiguang was probably crying because he had just said that he should live next door and not at home. He really didn’t expect Zhan Weiguang to be so sad.

       So he stood up, took the tissue on the bedside table, walked around the bed to Zhan Weiguang, squatted down and handed him the tissue.

       Zhan Weiguang felt that it was really stupid to cry in front of Zhan Weiyang. He took a tissue, turned his head and wiped his face hard.

       Zhan Weiyang squatted beside him, was silent for a while, and said, “If you really want to live here.”

       “What?” His words sounded a bit incoherent to Zhan Weiguang.

       Zhan Weiyang’s tone was very unwilling, “If you really want to live in my house, then live there, but you can’t be mean to me.”

       Zhan Weiguang’s eyes were still red, but he couldn’t help but feel amused and said, “Who wants to live in your house?”

       Zhan Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Yes, you should get married soon.”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “I don’t even have a girlfriend. Who do you want me to marry?”

       Zhan Weiyang urged him, “Then find a girlfriend quickly.”

       Zhan Weiguang smiled and said nothing.

       Zhan Weiyang said again, “And if you are in a relationship, you won’t always want to break us up.” He said the last sentence in a low voice.

       Zhan Weiguang looked at him and asked, “Do you still think there is no problem with you being with Pei Qing?”

       “What’s the problem?” Zhan Weiyang asked him.

       Zhan Weiguang said, “You are too young, and some things are too beautiful in imagination.”

       Unexpectedly, Zhan Weiyang nodded, “I will be eighteen in a few months.”

       Zhan Weiguang didn’t know what to say. He could have said to Zhan Weiyang, have you ever thought about what you would do if Pei Qing didn’t like you one day or couldn’t stand the pressure to get married? But he suddenly couldn’t say these words. He couldn’t think of the meaning of these words. He had never thought that Zhan Weiyang would fall in love with a healthy and normal girl and get married. If that day came, wouldn’t Zhan Weiyang still be alone?

       Was it really appropriate to stop Zhan Weiyang from falling in love just because of fear of possible harm?

       Zhan Weiguang was in an extremely complicated mood. He couldn’t help but imagine that if Pei Qing was serious about Zhan Weiyang and they got together, with Pei Qing’s ability and skills, the life he could give Zhan Weiyang might be something that he, his blood brother, couldn’t give. The future that Zhan Weiyang imagined sounded too beautiful.

       What should and shouldn’t be done?

       Zhan Weiguang raised his hand and covered his face.

       Zhan Weiyang was a little worried about him. He raised his hand and retracted it. He then stretched out only one finger, poked his arm, and asked, “Are you okay?”

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

       Zhan Weiyang felt that Zhan Weiguang was very inexplicable. He squatted beside him, was silent for a while, and asked again, “Are you okay?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “Is there something on your mind?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “If you are fine, I want to sleep for a while.”

       “I’m fine,” Zhan Weiguang said. He stood up and said to Zhan Weiyang, “You can sleep if you want to, I’ll go out first.”

       Zhan Weiyang also stood up and followed Zhan Weiguang to the door. After watching him leave, he quickly shut the door, then, still uneasy, locked it. Only then did he return to his bed, lie down, and pick up his phone to video call Pei Qing.

       When Zhan Weiguang returned to the room, Zhan Xiusong was still playing games.

       He glanced at Zhan Weiguang and asked, “Coming?”

       “No,” Zhan Weiguang rejected him coldly. Then he walked to his bedside and lay down against the headboard.

       He hesitated for a long time and sent a message to Pei Qing, “Can we talk again when we are free?”

       Pei Qing replied after a while, “Sure, later.”

       It was not until the evening that Zhan Weiguang and Pei Qing had another phone call.

       Because Zhan Xiusong was in his room, Zhan Weiguang put on his coat and took his mobile phone to the second-floor balcony to call Pei Qing.

       Zhan Weiguang’s mind was in a mess. He was also a freshman who had just entered college. He felt that he could not handle such a complicated situation, but he did not dare to tell Zhan Pengcheng.

       If Pei Qing were not the person involved in this matter, perhaps Zhan Weiguang would take the initiative to seek Pei Qing’s help and let Pei Qing tell him what to do.

       The two talked on the phone for more than an hour.

       Zhan Weiguang’s hands and feet were cold from standing outside. He put on the hood of his down jacket and squatted in the corner of the balcony to avoid the wind, but his face was still hurt by the cold wind.

       He repeatedly warned Pei Qing not to touch Zhan Weiyang.

       Pei Qing asked him, “What do you mean by touching?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “You know what I mean.”

       Pei Qing said, “Eighteen years old is not allowed?”

       Zhan Weiguang was a little angry, “You know his intelligence is not up to the level of eighteen years old.”

       Pei Qing asked, “Then when can it be allowed?”

       Zhan Weiguang was going crazy. Why on earth was he discussing when some guy might sleep with his brother? He pulled the hood of his down jacket down hard, almost covering his eyes, and finally said with gritted teeth, “Wait until the day when my father and I agree.”

       Pei Qing was not angry but said calmly, “Oh? Does it mean that you and Uncle will agree one day?”

       Zhan Weiguang was stunned by his question and said, “I don’t think my father will.”

       Pei Qing was silent for a while, “I understand.”

       After ending the call with Pei Qing, Zhan Weiyang was going to take medicine. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhan Weiguang standing at the door looking at him.

       He avoided Zhan Weiguang’s sight and walked forward.

       Zhan Weiguang reached out and grabbed his collar, took a look at his bare feet, and said, “Go put on your shoes.”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his hand to grab his wrist to make him let go, “Let me go first.”

       Auntie Luo came over at this time and asked them, “Aren’t you having breakfast? You should eat breakfast first.”

       Zhan Weiyang returned the phone to Auntie Luo, went back to the room to put on slippers, and took the medicine obediently, and then came back to the dining room on the first floor and sat down.

       Zhan Xiusong had already eaten and went back to the room upstairs to play games. Only Zhan Weiguang and Zhan Weiyang were left at the dining table.

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head and ate silently without saying a word.

       When Zhan Weiguang was about to speak, he heard the sound of a car being locked outside. Knowing that Zhan Pengcheng had returned, he also fell silent and did not speak.

       After lunch, Pei Qing called Zhan Weiyang to coax him a few words, and then called Zhan Weiguang.

       At that time, Zhan Weiguang was playing games with Zhan Xiusong in his room. When he saw Pei Qing calling, he threw the controller away and walked out with the phone.

       Zhan Xiusong hurriedly called him, “Hello!”

       Zhan Weiguang did not respond.

       Zhan Xiusong noticed that Zhan Weiguang was in a bad mood all day, so he did not dare to say anything, and turned back to stare at the screen silently.

       As soon as the call was connected, Pei Qing said to Zhan Weiguang, “You can ask me any questions, don’t scare Yangyang.”

       By this time, Zhan Weiguang had calmed down. He squatted against the wall and asked in a cold tone, “Explain clearly what happened between you and Zhan Weiyang?”

       Pei Qing said, “It’s what you know. We kissed, but we didn’t do anything else. If you want to ask, I think we are in a relationship.”

       Zhan Weiguang flicked his short hair on his head with a painful expression and asked, “Pei Qing, are you crazy?”

       Pei Qing’s tone was very calm, “What do you mean?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “You know that Zhan Weiyang is a boy?”

       Pei Qing said ‘En’, “I haven’t had any doubts about that.”

       Zhan Weiguang continued, “And I told you that he drowned when he was a child and had problems with brain development. You said you were in a relationship with him. Does he even understand what being in a relationship means?”

       Pei Qing said, “I think he understands. Have you communicated with him?”

       Zhan Weiguang said hurriedly, “Does he really understand, or did you instil the knowledge in him? Are you sure he didn’t mistake his dependence on you for love?”

       Pei Qing was silent for a long time, and he asked Zhan Weiguang, “Have you tried to ask Yangyang these questions? Not yelling at him, but sitting down and talking to him, asking him what he is thinking and what he thinks.”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “His thoughts are just immature and naive. Should we just indulge him because he thinks this way? Don’t even mention Zhan Weiyang’s intellectual issues; even if he were a normal seventeen-year-old boy, do you think you have a reason to date him?”

       Pei Qing asked, “What if you were him?”

       Zhan Weiguang was stunned, “What?”

       Pei Qing said, “If you were 17 years old, in your second year of high school, and you met someone you liked and wanted to have a relationship with, and your father and your teacher thought your ideas were immature and you should listen to them, what would you think?”

       “I—”

       Pei Qing interrupted him before he finished speaking, “Zhan Weiyang is just an ordinary boy; why can’t you try to communicate with him? You think it’s too early to fall in love at the age of seventeen, and I also think that seventeen is too young. I haven’t thought about doing anything with him. I’m waiting for him to grow up and make a decision when he is more mature. If he meets a girl he likes when he is eighteen and goes to college, and he tells me that he doesn’t like me anymore, I can totally accept it. Do you understand what I mean?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “I don’t accept it.”

       Pei Qing said, “Then you can try to convince him.”

       Zhan Weiguang was silent.

       Pei Qing continued, “Don’t quarrel; go and talk to him. Tell him what you think, and drive out the bad ideas you think I have instilled in him from his head. No matter what the final result is, I will accept it.”

       After hanging up the phone, Zhan Weiguang squatted in place and hugged his head, and didn’t move for a long time.

       After a while, he heard the sound of a car coming from downstairs, and then he slowly stood up and walked to the window to look downstairs.

       Zhan Pengcheng parked the car at the door of his house, opened the passenger door, and Zhan Weiyang jumped out.

       Zhan Weiyang was supposed to get his phone repaired in the afternoon, but Zhan Pengcheng saw that his phone was broken, so he simply took him out to buy a new one.

       Now, Zhan Weiyang was looking forward to returning to continue calling Pei Qing. At noon, Pei Qing called the home landline, and Zhan Weiyang stood in the living room to answer the phone. He said two short sentences and then hung up.

       Now with a new phone, Zhan Weiyang could not only call Pei Qing, but also video chat with Pei Qing. As he thought of this, he felt happy, and he couldn’t remember the unhappy things in the morning.

       After Zhan Pengcheng sent Zhan Weiyang home, he drove out again. He had many business friends and customers who needed to keep in touch during the Chinese New Year. Except for eating at home on the 30th, he had social events almost every day.

       Zhan Weiyang jogged up the stairs to the second floor and saw Zhan Weiguang standing at the stairs. His expression changed suddenly. He turned sideways to avoid Zhan Weiguang’s sight and continued to walk forward along the wall.

       Zhan Weiguang did not speak either, following Zhan Weiyang silently, and saw Zhan Weiyang still going back to Pei Qing’s room.

       He followed him in, closed the door casually, stood against the wall and asked Zhan Weiyang, “Aren’t you going to live in your own room?”

       Zhan Weiyang was kneeling beside the bed, studying his new mobile phone. He looked up at him and said, “Wait a minute.”

       He felt that this room still had the atmosphere of Pei Qing’s life, and he was reluctant to move out, so he wanted to wait for a few days.

       Zhan Weiguang was a little dazed. In his impression, he had never had a serious chat with Zhan Weiyang. What was he talking about? His brother was like a little fool. Their thinking was never in the same world. He always thought that when Zhan Pengcheng was gone one day, he only needed to give Zhan Weiyang a good meal and a good place to live, and he would have fulfilled his obligations.

       He thought they didn’t need to communicate, but Pei Qing repeatedly asked him to talk to Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiguang walked to the other side of the bed, knelt down beside the bed like Zhan Weiyang, put his arms on the bed, and said, “Zhan Weiyang, can you talk to me properly?”

       Zhan Weiyang moved his eyes away from the phone screen and looked at his face, “What?”

       Zhan Weiguang felt a little awkward but still tried to speak in a serious and calm tone, “Do you like Pei Qing?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, “I like him very much.”

       Zhan Weiguang raised his hand and scratched his face, asking, “Do you like me or Pei Qing more?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him strangely, as if he was looking at a fool, “Of course I like Pei Qing, why should I like you?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “Because I am your brother.”

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head to look at the phone and ignored him.

       Zhan Weiguang didn’t know how to continue the topic.

       Unexpectedly, Zhan Weiyang took the initiative to talk after a while, “I’m not going to spend my whole life with you.”

       Zhan Weiguang was stunned and took some time to understand what he meant, “You want to spend your whole life with Pei Qing?”

       Zhan Weiyang smiled a little shyly, his round eyes flickering with light, and he said, “Except for not being able to have children with Qing ge, I can do everything else. Why can’t we be together for a lifetime?”

       Zhan Weiguang looked at him blankly.

       Zhan Weiyang still had a smile on his face, “It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have a child, it’s enough that he has me.”

       Zhan Weiguang waited for a while, and asked tentatively, “Did Pei Qing say these words to you?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him, “No, that’s what I thought. I also thought that when my father is old, I will let Dad and Grandma live with us, and I can take good care of them.”

       Zhan Weiguang couldn’t find the words for a while, and asked after a long time, “What about me?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him strangely, “Aren’t you getting married?”

       Zhan Weiguang thought their conversation was magical and deliberately said, “What if I don’t get married?”

       Zhan Weiyang frowned, lowered his head and stared at the bed sheet for a while and said, “You can live next door to me, don’t live in my house.”

       Zhan Weiguang was angry and amused, “Do you hate me so much?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I will take care of you, but you are not allowed to control me or be mean to me, let alone scold Qing ge.”

       Zhan Weiguang had mixed emotions for a moment and couldn’t help laughing out loud.

       Zhan Weiyang had been hiding under his own quilt, refusing to come out.

       Zhan Weiguang remained silent for a while and then said to him through the quilt, “Yangyang, don’t be silly. I’m your only brother. Pei Qing is hurting you. Do you understand?”

       If Zhan Weiyang hadn’t heard Pei Qing’s name, he would have ignored Zhan Weiguang, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but say, “He didn’t! You don’t understand; you don’t know how much I like him!”

       Zhan Weiguang frowned, “No matter how much you like him, he can’t kiss your lips; that’s what lovers do.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “We are lovers!”

       Zhan Weiguang asked, “Do you know what lovers mean? You are a boy; you want to fall in love with a girl.”

       Zhan Weiyang said loudly,”I just like Pei Qing. Why should I fall in love with a girl?”

       Zhan Weiguang felt a headache.

       At this moment, Zhan Weiyang’s mobile phone that he threw on the bedside table suddenly rang.

       Zhan Weiyang stretched out a hand from under the quilt, groping for his cell phone, and Zhan Weiguang leaned over to take a look and found that it was Pei Qing who called. He was furious and grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s cell phone and answered it.

       He shouted viciously, “Pei Qing!”

       Pei Qing was still at the airport, and they were waiting to pick up the checked luggage; he stood alone in the corner and called Zhan Weiyang. As soon as he answered the phone, he heard Zhan Weiguang’s voice.

       Even though Zhan Weiyang was so angry, Pei Qing’s tone remained very calm. He said, “Weiguang?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “Pei Qing, are you a human being? Isn’t our family good enough to you? You dare to bully my brother!”

       Pei Qing asked, “What did Zhan Xueqing say to you?” He didn’t know how much Zhan Xueqing said in her message to Zhan Weiguang.

       Zhan Weiguang angrily questioned, “What else did you do? Do you think that I won’t call the police? You molested a minor!”

       Pei Qing stood against the wall. After hearing this, he was silent for two seconds and said to Zhan Weiguang, “Can you calm down? I didn’t do anything to Yangyang, let alone molest him.”

       Zhan Weiguang roared, “Why are you pretending? Zhan Weiyang has admitted that you kissed him!”

       At this time, Pei Qing suddenly heard Zhan Weiyang’s voice coming from the other side of the microphone as if anxiously saying from a distance, “Give me back my phone.”

       Zhan Weiyang was trying to grab the phone from Zhan Weiguang, and he said angrily, “You are not allowed to say that!”

       Pei Qing said to Zhan Weiguang, “Can you give the phone to Yangyang first, I’ll have a few words with him.”

       But Zhan Weiguang could no longer hear Pei Qing’s words. He was pressed on the bed by Zhan Weiyang. In order to prevent Zhan Weiyang from grabbing the phone, he stretched the hand holding the phone far away.

       In order to grab the phone, Zhan Weiyang bent his knees and knelt on Zhan Weiguang’s stomach.

       Zhan Weiguang cried out in pain, “fvck! Are you trying to murder your own brother?!”

       Zhan Weiyang pressed him and crawled over to grab his phone. Before he could grab it, he hurriedly shouted, “Qing ge.”

       Zhan Weiguang grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s leg, which was still pressing on his stomach and lifted it up. As a result, Zhan Weiyang’s hand slipped, and the phone he had just grabbed was accidentally thrown out. It hit the wall hard and then bounced to the ground with a ‘click’.

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t even bother to put on his shoes. He jumped off the bed to pick up the phone. When he picked it up, he found that the screen was broken, and the entire touch screen had no response. He hurriedly put the phone close to his ear and heard that the call was disconnected.

       Zhan Weiguang rubbed his stomach, climbed up, and took a breath.

       Zhan Weiyang glared at him, “My phone is broken!”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “You threw it on the ground yourself.” His stomach was hurting, and his breath was not stable.

       Zhan Weiyang said angrily, “I’m going to call Qing ge!”

       Zhan Weiguang was also angry, “You are not allowed to contact him again in the future!”

       Zhan Weiyang grabbed his broken phone and turned to run outside, passing through the corridor and down the stairs to the first floor.

       At this time, Zhan Xiusong was eating breakfast in the dining room. In fact, strictly speaking, it was almost noon, but it was still breakfast for him.

       He saw Zhan Weiyang in pyjamas, with messy hair and bare feet, and asked in a daze, “What are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked around anxiously and saw Auntie Luo coming out of the kitchen. He ran over and asked Auntie Luo, “Auntie Luo, can you lend me your phone?”

       Auntie Luo took her phone out of her pocket and handed it to Zhan Weiyang, wondering, “What’s wrong? Where’s your phone?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook her phone and said, “It’s broken.”

       Auntie Luo asked him, “Who are you going to call?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Qing ge.”

       “Pei Qing…” Auntie Luo said, “I don’t have his phone number saved.”

       Zhan Xiusong took the initiative to say, “I have it, I have it.” As he spoke, he took out his phone, found Pei Qing’s phone number and read it to Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang heard it and hurriedly entered the number and dialled it. Then he looked up and saw Zhan Weiguang coming down, so he took the phone and hid in Grandma’s room.

       “Zhan Weiyang!” Zhan Weiguang walked towards him.

       Grandma was watching TV in the living room. There was no one in the room. Zhan Weiyang went in and locked the door. He heard Zhan Weiguang knocking on the door but ignored him. He hid in the corner of the room and squatted down, letting the bed block him and the door.

       Because it was an unfamiliar number, the phone rang for a long time before Pei Qing answered it.

       Zhan Weiyang shouted crisply, “Qing ge!”

       Pei Qing responded softly, “Yangyang?”

       They were on their way home from the airport. Pei Jingrong called the driver to pick them up. It was a business car.

       Pei Qing and Zhan Xueqing were still sitting in the back row. When they heard Pei Qing answering the phone, Zhan Xueqing turned his head and looked at him.

       In fact, at this time, not only Zhan Xueqing but also Zhan Yingfei in the front row turned his head and looked at him.

       Pei Qing continued, “What happened just now?”

       Zhan Weiyang felt aggrieved, “Zhan Weiguang broke my phone.”

       Pei Qing asked, “Did he fight with you?” Her tone was unconsciously a little worried.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “No, he just snatched my phone.”

       Pei Qing said, “It doesn’t matter. Just get your phone fixed if it’s broken, and don’t fight him or quarrel with him.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I didn’t.”

       Pei Qing was about to continue talking when Zhan Yingfei asked him, “Is that Yangyang?”

       He nodded, then asked Zhan Weiyang, “Did you take your medicine today?”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly remembered, “Ah, I forgot.”

       Pei Qing said to him, “Then go take your medicine first, I’ll call you later.” Then he remembered that Zhan Weiyang’s phone was broken, so he asked, “Whose phone is this?”

       Zhan Weiyang answered, “Auntie Luo’s.”

       Pei Qing said, “Okay, then I’ll let Auntie Luo call you, you go take your medicine first.”

       Pei Qing then hung up the phone, and when he looked up, he saw Pei Jingrong also turned his head to look at him.

       Pei Jingrong asked, “Do you get along well with Zhan Weiyang?”

       Pei Qing replied, “Very well.”

       Pei Jingrong said, “It’s rare to see you so patient with a child.”

       Pei Qing didn’t say anything.

       Zhan Yingfei smiled and said, “That means you don’t know your son at all. Pei Qing is actually very careful. Yangyang is special and needs more patience to get along with him.”

       Pei Jingrong didn’t say anything after hearing this.

       Zhan Yingfei smiled and said to Pei Qing, “My eldest brother also said that Yangyang caused you a lot of trouble when he was not at home. Thank you for taking care of Yangyang for so long.”

       Pei Qing was silent for a while and said, “We are all family. What’s the point of saying thank you, Auntie?”

       Zhan Yingfei smiled and said, “Yes, Yangyang is also your younger brother. He has been ill since he was a child. If he often looks for you in the future, I hope you’ll be patient with him.”

       Pei Qing quietly replied, “I will.”

       Zhan Weiyang was still half asleep, and he looked down inexplicably, saying, “What are you doing?”

       He was wearing nothing under his pyjamas, revealing a section of his white and clean waist and abdomen.

       Zhan Weiguang pushed his pyjamas up a little higher, and seeing that his chest was still white without any trace, he grabbed his arm and asked him to turn around.

       Zhan Weiyang was pushed down on the bed by Zhan Weiguang, and hurriedly used his arms to support his body and tried to get up, saying very unhappily, “What are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiguang actually didn’t know what he was doing.

       He had been sleeping late today and woke up about half an hour ago. When he woke up, he heard Zhan Xiusong snoring beside him.

       He habitually reached out for his phone and saw that Zhan Xueqing had sent him a message, a message that was not too long, “Zhan Weiguang, on the night of the New Year, I saw Pei Qing kissing Zhan Weiyang, kissing his mouth.”

       Zhan Weiguang jumped up from the bed at once, and he felt himself sweating. His first reaction was to call Zhan Xueqing, but the phone prompted that it was turned off. He was confused, and then he called Pei Qing again, but the phone still prompted that it was turned off.

       He glanced at the time and realised that Pei Qing and Zhan Xueqing should be on the plane at this time.

       Zhan Weiguang got up from the bed, put on his clothes and went downstairs directly.

       He saw that Zhan Weiyang’s bedroom door was open, and the room was tidy. It should be Auntie Luo who went in to clean up early in the morning. Then he walked to Pei Qing’s room, reached out to turn the door lock and found that it was not locked, so he walked in directly.

       The curtains in the room were closed, and Zhan Weiyang was curled up on his side, still wrapped in the quilt and sleeping soundly.

       Zhan Weiguang wanted to wake him up for a moment, and he stretched out his hand. Hearing him humming softly while sleeping, he felt a little reluctant, so he sat down beside the bed.

       On the other side of the bed, Pei Qing folded the quilt and put it on the pillow when she got up, but the bed sheet still showed signs of someone sleeping there.

       Zhan Weiguang stared at the bed sheet for a while and then remembered the two short sentences in the message sent by Zhan Xueqing. He was furious when he thought that Pei Qing dared to bully Zhan Weiyang. However, after being angry, he suddenly panicked when he thought that Zhan Weiyang had been sleeping in the same bed with Pei Qing for such a long time. He thought, since Pei Qing dared to kiss his brother, would he have done more bad things that they didn’t know about?

       Just when Zhan Weiguang was panicking, Zhan Weiyang woke up, and the first thing he said was, “Qing ge.”

       Zhan Weiguang became even more angry and pulled Zhan Weiyang up to check his body. Zhan Weiguang himself had never been in a relationship, so of course he had no experience. Now he was so angry that he could only think of the plots in the messy online novels. He just wanted to know for sure whether his brother had been bullied.

       Zhan Weiyang’s back was naturally clean without any marks.

       Zhan Weiguang finally stopped. However, because his anger was so strong, he glared at Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang turned over and sat on the bed, also glaring at him angrily, “Zhan Weiguang, are you crazy?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “I have something to ask you.”

       Zhan Weiyang was still angry, raised his hands to cover his ears, “I don’t want to listen.”

       Zhan Weiguang reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling it away from his ear, “You must listen, and you must answer me. I asked you what Pei Qing did to you.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t want to pay attention to him at first, but when he heard Pei Qing’s name, he couldn’t hold on and looked at Zhan Weiguang strangely, “What?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “What did you do to you? Did he kiss you?”

       Zhan Weiyang’s round eyes widened a little, then avoided Zhan Weiguang’s sight and looked to the side, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

       Zhan Weiguang instantly felt that all the hairs on his body stood up, and Zhan Weiyang’s reaction couldn’t be more obvious. He reached out and grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s arm. He then said fiercely, “Did he kiss you on the mouth?”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly panicked. He didn’t know whether he should answer Zhan Weiguang’s question. Pei Qing was not around at this time. His eyes flickered for a while, and he looked at Zhan Weiguang and whispered, “How did you know?”

       Zhan Weiguang shouted angrily, “What else did he do to you?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t expect him to yell at him suddenly. He was startled, retracted his hand, and shook his head blankly.

       Zhan Weiguang stood up from the bed, stared at Zhan Weiyang, tried to suppress his temper and asked, “Did he take off your clothes? Did he touch you or hug you?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him in horror.

       Zhan Weiguang was anxious and angry. He reached out to grab Zhan Weiyang’s wrist and said, “You idiot, you don’t even realize when someone is taking advantage of you! Think carefully about whether he has ever touched you.”

       Zhan Weiyang actually understood Zhan Weiguang’s meaning a little bit. After panicking, he also became angry. He shook Zhan Weiguang’s hand away and said, “You are the idiot!” He was so angry at Zhan Weiguang’s words that he felt his chest was blocked and couldn’t help but reach out and pat it to relieve his anger.

       Zhan Weiguang didn’t really want to lose his temper at Zhan Weiyang. He just couldn’t control himself when he thought about what Pei Qing might have done to Zhan Weiyang. He regretted saying ‘idiot’. He stared at Zhan Weiyang for a long time, took a deep breath, squatted down beside the bed, tried to calm his tone, and asked, “Zhan Weiyang, I’m asking you seriously, this matter is very serious, do you understand?”

       Zhan Weiyang’s eyes gradually turned red, and he said to him fiercely. “No!”

       Zhan Weiguang asked. “What do you mean?”

       Zhan Weiyang said. “No!”

       Zhan Weiguang was a little anxious and asked him. “Do you understand what I mean?”

       Zhan Weiyang’s red eyes gradually became moist, and he said to Zhan Weiguang, “I don’t want to see you! I want Qing ge!”

       Zhan Weiguang was a little stunned when he heard this.

       Zhan Weiyang was already sad about Pei Qing’s departure, and now he was yelled at by Zhan Weiguang, which made him even sadder. He didn’t have the chance to say goodbye to Pei Qing in the morning and didn’t cry, but now he couldn’t help it anyway.

       Also, although Zhan Weiyang didn’t express it clearly, he vaguely realised what Zhan Weiguang meant. In Zhan Weiguang’s eyes, if Pei Qing kissed or hugged him, it was bad and not allowed; just like when he was a child, his father would tell him not to let adults take off his pants or touch his little pp.

       The negative emotion in Zhan Weiguang’s tone was too strong, making Zhan Weiyang extremely uncomfortable. Regardless of whether this negativity was directed at Pei Qing or him, Zhan Weiyang was very sad and angry.

       Compared to Zhan Weiguang calling him an idiot, he was angrier that Zhan Weiguang had used such an attitude and tone to question Pei Qing’s behaviour.

       Zhan Weiyang was very angry, his thin chest was constantly rising and falling violently. He lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He put on his slippers and remembered that Pei Qing had left. He didn’t even know where he was going to hide.

       So he took off his shoes and got into bed again, pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and shrank into it.

       Zhan Weiguang looked at him by the bed, reached out, pulled Zhan Weiyang’s quilt, and said, “Zhan Weiyang, come out.”

       Zhan Weiyang tightly protected his quilt and hid inside without saying a word.

       Zhan Weiguang had to sit down by the bed again. He lowered his voice and shouted, “Zhan Weiyang.”

       Zhan Weiyang ignored him.

       After a while, Zhan Weiguang noticed that Zhan Weiyang, who was hiding in the quilt, was trembling slightly. He subconsciously reached out to lift the quilt, and his hand clenched the edge of the quilt, but he still couldn’t bear to let go.

---

The author has something to say:
I feel sorry for Yangyang as I write this.

---

Notes:
I really understand Weiguang’s feelings, having had a bit slow lil sister myself. I also flew into rage when I heard she was being bullied by her friends in the past, and was even angrier when I realised she hadn’t realised that she was being bullied. And instead of talking about it properly, all I did was get angry because she couldn’t understand that
It was a different case after all, but I hope the readers didn’t hate Weiguang so much because he really cares about Weiyang so much

       When Zhan Weiyang hurried down the stairs in slippers, Auntie Luo was cleaning the dining room. She heard his footsteps and looked out, asking curiously, “Yangyang, why did you get up so early?”

       Before he could answer, Zhan Weiyang had already opened the door and ran out.

       Auntie Luo shouted behind him, “Why are you wearing so little and going out?”

       When Zhan Weiyang ran out of the house, Zhan Pengcheng had already started the car and drove forward. Zhan Pengcheng did not notice Zhan Weiyang and the car turned along the path and drove into the neighbourhood’s driveway.

       At this time, there was no pedestrian in the neighbourhood. Zhan Pengcheng was in a hurry to send someone to the airport, and the car was also very fast.

       Zhan Weiyang chased after the car for several steps, but it quickly left him far behind. He stopped, panting, and opened his mouth as if to call out “Pei Qing,” but in the end, he didn’t say a word.

       He could only stare blankly at the car gradually moving away. Soon Auntie Luo chased him out, asked him what he was doing, grabbed his arm and pulled him into the house.

       Seeing Zhan Weiyang’s eyes red, Auntie Luo said, “Your father is just driving them to the airport and will return in the morning. He won’t leave. Why are you in a hurry?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything.

       In the car heading to the airport, no one noticed that Zhan Weiyang was chasing after them.

       Pei Qing sat in the last row next to Zhan Xueqing. After getting on the car, Pei Qing looked at the window of his room on the second floor from the car window, closed his eyes, and tilted his head to sleep.

       Actually, he didn’t fall asleep; he just didn’t want to talk to others.

       Zhan Xueqing plugged in headphones and listened to the music quietly.

       It was early in the morning, and it was Chinese New Year. Traffic was smooth along the way. Zhan Pengcheng drove the car to the terminal and helped them take out the suitcases. Then, he specifically said to Pei Qing, “Come back often.”

       Pei Qing said, “I will.”

       Zhan Pengcheng reached out and patted his arm. He felt that they had spent a long time together and felt a little reluctant. Then he said to Pei Jingrong and Zhan Yingfei, “You all take care. Come back often to see this old man when you have time. Send me a message when you arrive.”

       Zhan Yingfei nodded, “Eldesr brother, thank you for taking care of mom.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “What’s the point of saying this, isn’t it what I should be doing?”

       There were traffic police on the car channel of the terminal urging the vehicles to see off. Zhan Pengcheng couldn’t stop for too long, so he turned around, got in the car and left.

       Pei Qing and the other four dragged their luggage into the terminal. While Pei Jingrong and Zhan Yingfei were checking in their luggage, Zhan Xueqing said to Pei Qing, “Just now in the car, I sent a message to Zhan Weiguang.”

       Pei Qing looked at her.

       Zhan Xueqing looked very serious, “Actually, I should have told Uncle, but I couldn’t say it. I don’t think you can do this.”

       Pei Qing said, “What can’t I do?”

       Zhan Xueqing glanced in the direction of his parents and saw that they were still waiting to print their boarding passes, so he said, “Pei Qing, you have to understand that this is no longer a problem between you and me. Zhan Weiyang is my younger cousin, and you know he has intellectual problems.”

       Pei Qing didn’t say anything.

       At this time, Pei Jingrong and Zhan Yingfei came over with their boarding passes. Zhan Xueqing didn’t continue. Zhan Yingfei was a little curious, smiled and asked, “What are you talking about?”

       Zhan Xueqing said, “Nothing.”

       Pei Jingrong came over, raised his hand to put his arm around Zhan Yingfei’s shoulder, and said, “Let’s go, let’s go through security first.”

       After getting on the plane, Pei Qing and Zhan Xueqing sat in a row.

       Zhan Xueqing was silent.

       Pei Qing said first, “I will handle the matter between me and Yangyang myself.”

       Zhan Xueqing turned her head and looked at him, “Are you crazy? My uncle will kill you!”

       Pei Qing said, “I know, I said I will handle it.”

       Zhan Xueqing was a little angry, “You can’t bully Zhan Weiyang like this! You know he is clueless!”

       Pei Qing asked her, “What do you mean by bullying Zhan Weiyang? Do you think he is a child and he should never fall in love and get married in his life, or aren’t you the one bullying him?”

       Zhan Xueqing said, “You know it’s not the same thing.”

       Pei Qing said, “Xueqing, don’t you know that there is no such thing as right or wrong in love? You pursue what you like, and I will pursue what I like.”

       Zhan Xueqing’s expression was complicated, not just simple anger or anxiety. She said: “But you are different from Zhan Weiyang. You know Yangyang—”

       “Yangyang is just an ordinary boy,” Pei Qing said in a calm tone, “You don’t have to emphasise it repeatedly.”

       Zhan Xueqing turned her head and looked out the plane window. She said, “Anyway, you don’t need to tell me about your affairs. I can’t control what you want to do. But it involves Yangyang. I can’t just know it and not care. I have already told Zhan Weiguang about it. You can decide how to explain it to him.”

       Pei Qing said, “Thank you.”

       Zhan Xueqing was stunned. “What do you mean?”

       Pei Qing looked ahead. “Zhan Weiguang should always know. I will tell him even if you don’t say it.”

       Zhan Xueqing looked at him, took a deep breath, and said, “Think it over carefully.”

       Before the plane was ready to take off, Pei Qing looked at his phone. He didn’t receive any messages from Zhan Weiyang or Zhan Weiguang.

       The flight attendant had already walked to his side. He turned his phone to flight mode and put it in his bag.

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t manage to catch up with Pei Qing. He returned to the room sadly, took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and got into the still warm quilt.

       He was no longer sleepy but felt sad as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

       After a while, Auntie Luo came up to the second floor, knocked on the door, and asked him, “Yangyang, do you want to continue sleeping? Do you want to get up and have breakfast?”

       Zhan Weiyang tried to cheer himself up and said, “I don’t want to eat.”

       Auntie Luo said, “Then you can sleep a little longer.”

       Then Zhan Weiyang heard Auntie Luo go into the next room. She should be tidying up and cleaning the room. Zhan Xueqing left and would not come back for the time being. When the sheets and quilts were packed, Zhan Weiyang should move back to his room.

       Then, this room might be tidied up and left empty, or maybe his second uncle and his wife might move in. Zhan Weiyang didn’t know what his family was planning, but it was no longer Pei Qing’s room.

       Thinking of this, Zhan Weiyang felt like crying sadly.

       He thought he couldn’t fall asleep at all, but after a while, he fell asleep again in a daze. It was quite late when he woke up. It was completely bright outside, and the greyish-white was visible through the curtains.

       When Zhan Weiyang opened his eyes, he saw someone sitting by the bed. He thought it was Pei Qing and was surprised and happy. He said, “Qing ge, why are you back?”

       Just as he finished speaking, he found that the person was not Pei Qing but Zhan Weiguang.

       So the smile on Zhan Weiyang’s face disappeared instantly, and he frowned slightly, “Why is it you?”

       Zhan Weiguang rarely looked so serious. He pulled Zhan Weiyang up, his movements were a bit rough, reached out to pick up his pajamas, and said, “Let me see you.”

       Shortly after twelve o’clock, everyone went back to rest without waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to end.

       Zhan Pengcheng and Zhan Weiguang sent Zhan Yingfei and the others back to the hotel. After that, the father and son walked back. Zhan Pengcheng’s steps were already stumbling and unsteady. Zhan Weiguang was a little disgusted, but he reached out to support Zhan Pengcheng from time to time.

       When they got home, the living room on the first floor was still a mess, and the mahjong tiles were scattered across the table, not yet put away.

       Zhan Weiguang locked the door and turned off all the lights on the first floor. He helped Zhan Pengcheng up to the second floor and sent him to the room before returning to the third floor.

       When he entered the room, Zhan Weiguang saw Zhan Xiusong still lying on the bed playing with his phone, so he asked, “Are you still not asleep?”

       Zhan Xiusong put down his phone, turned over and whispered to Zhan Weiguang, “When I went upstairs just now, I heard Qing jie and Qing ge quarrelling.”

       “Ah?” Zhan Weiguang had started to take off his clothes but stopped when he heard this, “What are they quarrelling about?”

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

       Just now, he was the first to run upstairs, and when he had passed the second floor and was on the stairs leading to the third floor, he heard Zhan Xueqing calling Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing was with Zhan Weiyang at the time and was slowly coming up from downstairs. When he heard Zhan Xueqing’s voice, he asked her, “What’s the matter?”

       Zhan Xueqing said, “Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t understand what Zhan Xueqing was saying, and he looked at Pei Qing with some confusion.

       Pei Qing asked Zhan Weiyang, “Is Yangyang tired?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded.

       Pei Qing said, “Then go to bed.”

       Zhan Xiusong stood on the stairs and listened for a while. He didn’t hear what they said, so he went upstairs alone. Now thinking about it, he said to Zhan Weiguang, “It’s just that Qing jie said Qing ge was too much. I don’t know what was too much.”

       Zhan Weiguang frowned, not too interested in his heart, and just said, “Go to bed.”

       Although Zhan Weiyang said he was tired, he didn’t fall asleep until Zhan Weiguang and Zhan Pengcheng came home.

       Pei Qing heard him tossing and turning over repeatedly and asked him, “Why? Can’t sleep?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes, I just can’t sleep.”

       Pei Qing thought for a while and said, “You drank coffee in the afternoon.”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly reacted, “Yes, I drank coffee in the afternoon.” He suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone from under the pillow, and sent a message to Chen Youyou, saying, “Happy New Year.”

       Chen Youyou didn’t reply to him; maybe he had gone to bed.

       Zhan Weiyang put the phone back, and he remembered another thing and asked Pei Qing, “What did Qing jie say about you just now?”

       Pei Qing was actually sleepy. He closed his eyes and said in a somewhat careless tone, “She saw me kissing you.”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked in a low voice, “Really?”

       Pei Qing suddenly felt curious about Zhan Weiyang’s state of mind and forced himself to ask, “Yes, do you think it’s bad if she saw it?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer for a long time. After a while, he asked, “Why is it bad? Shouldn’t we let her see it?”

       Pei Qing said, “Aren’t I asking you?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I don’t know, why are you asking me?”

       Pei Qing felt speechless for a while.

       Zhan Weiyang wasn’t completely clueless. He usually watched TV and read books, so he had basic common sense. He knew that his relationship with Pei Qing wasn’t something they could casually tell others about, which was why, up until then, he hadn’t even mentioned it to Chen Youyou.

       But he couldn’t tell to what extent this couldn’t be said.

       For example, if Pei Qing told him now that they would tell Zhan Pengcheng about this matter tomorrow, he would listen to Pei Qing because he believed in Pei Qing. As long as Pei Qing said it was okay, he would think it was okay.

       As for what he would face after he said it, Zhan Weiyang could not consider it for the time being.

       Because Pei Qing hadn’t spoken for a long time, Zhan Weiyang was curious. He leaned in front of Pei Qing and tried to see his face in the dark. He asked, “Are you upset?”

       Pei Qing stretched out a hand to hold his waist, “I’m not upset.”

       Zhan Weiyang thought about it seriously and said, “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being seen by her.” After that, he added uncertainly, “I guessed.”

       Pei Qing couldn’t help laughing. He felt that he shouldn’t embarrass Zhan Weiyang, so he said, “Then there’s nothing wrong. You can go to sleep.”

       Zhan Weiyang said aggrievedly, “I can’t sleep.”

       Pei Qing stretched out his hand and pressed Zhan Weiyang’s head against his chest, whispering, “Did you hear it?”

       Zhan Weiyang listened to the slight vibration of his chest when he spoke and his continuous slow and calm heartbeat, and he said, “Mmm.”

       Pei Qing said to him, “You will want to sleep if you listen quietly for a while.”

       Zhan Weiyang believed what Pei Qing said, so he lay quietly in front of Pei Qing and listened to his heartbeat quietly on his chest. He didn’t know how long he listened until he finally felt sleepy and fell asleep on Pei Qing’s chest.

       The family was busy during the two days of the New Year, and time passed in a flash.

       The next day was the third day of the New Year, and Pei Jingrong booked a flight ticket in the morning, so the family had to go to the airport early in the morning.

       Pei Qing had talked to Zhan Weiyang repeatedly in the past two days and made enough psychological preparation for him to accept his temporary departure for a while.

       But when the real day approached, Zhan Weiyang still felt very panicked.

       Zhan Weiyang himself didn’t know what he was panicking about. On the night of the second day of the New Year, he took a shower and kept walking back and forth in the room.

       When Pei Qing returned to the room, he saw him walking back and forth nervously, so he asked, “What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?”

       Zhan Weiyang bit his finger and said, “I’m a little scared.”

       “What are you afraid of?” Pei Qing asked him.

       Zhan Weiyang wanted to say, “I’m afraid you won’t want me”, but he felt that he had said these words to Pei Qing, and it seemed unnecessary to repeat them over and over again, so he could only shake his head and say nothing.

       Pei Qing said, “Did you take medicine at night?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, “I took medicine.”

       Pei Qing said, “Starting tomorrow, I will send you a message every day to remind you to take medicine.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded again.

       Even if Zhan Weiyang didn’t say it, Pei Qing could clearly feel his uneasiness, but Pei Qing had no way to resolve Zhan Weiyang’s uneasiness at present.

       After all, he hadn’t graduated from college yet, and he didn’t have the ability to abandon his studies and move out of the house directly. He had too many things to consider, and it was impossible for him to ignore his own and Zhan Weiyang’s future just to comfort Zhan Weiyang’s emotions now.

       So he could only try to comfort Zhan Weiyang.

       Pei Qing took Zhan Weiyang’s hand and brought him to the bedside, asked him to sit down, squatted in front of him, raised his head and said, “I will definitely come back, so be a good boy and wait for me to pick you up, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t speak.

       Pei Qing asked, “What will it take for you to believe me?”

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

       Pei Qing thought for a moment and told him, “Next time I come back, I’ll tell your Dad about us, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang’s eyes widened immediately, “Is that okay?”

       Pei Qing smiled and asked him, “Do you think it’s okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang immediately said, “I think it’s very okay.”

       Pei Qing nodded, “As long as you say yes, then you won’t be afraid of me abandoning you anymore, right?”

       Zhan Weiyang’s eyes widened, and finally, he lowered his head and smiled secretly, saying, “It’s a deal.”

       The next morning at 5:30, Pei Qing was awakened by the alarm clock. He reached out to turn off the alarm clock, turned around and heard Zhan Weiyang still sleeping soundly, so he didn’t turn on the light, and got out of bed and dressed quietly.

       The luggage had been packed yesterday, and the suitcase was leaning against the door. Before he left the room, he gently touched Zhan Weiyang’s hair with his fingers, reluctant to wake him up, and then quietly left the room.

       Coming out of the house, Pei Qing ran into Zhan Xueqing, who was also coming out of the room.

       Zhan Xueqing was about to say something when he saw Zhan Pengcheng’s door open at the end of the corridor, so she turned around silently to wash and dragged her suitcase downstairs.

       Pei Jingrong and Zhan Yingfei came over, and everyone had breakfast together. Then, Zhan Pengcheng drove them to the airport.

       Before leaving, Zhan Pengcheng parked the car at the house’s door and asked them to put the suitcase in the trunk first. When he leaned over to clean the glass, he accidentally pressed the horn on the steering wheel, so a sharp horn sounded.

       Zhan Weiyang was awakened at this time. He opened his eyes in a daze and found that the bed next to him was empty. He trembled and woke up completely.

       He got out of bed and hurried to the window to look. He saw Zhan Pengcheng’s SUV parked at the door of his house. He saw Pei Jingrong open the passenger door and get in. He didn’t see anyone else, so he turned around and ran out of the room, not caring that he was only wearing thin pyjamas, and hurried downstairs.

       Zhan Weiyang cried for a long time until his eyes were swollen. He asked Pei Qing worriedly, “You won’t leave me, will you?”

       Pei Qing said softly, “How could that be?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “But you’re going to be away for so long.”

       Pei Qing patted his back and asked, “But I can’t always be with you. What if I go on a business trip for work in the future, and my Yangyang is alone at home?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought for a while and asked, “Can’t you take me with you?”

       Pei Qing smiled and asked, “How can I take you with me? You’re so big, I can’t fit you in my pocket.”

       Zhan Weiyang felt that he was right and felt very distressed.

       Pei Qing comforted him, “Although I can’t take you with me at all times, I will miss you. We can also video chat. I will also bring you a gift when I come back, okay?”

       Zhan Weiyang reluctantly accepted it.

       Pei Qing then asked, “Are you feeling better now?”

       Zhan Weiyang did not answer but grabbed Pei Qing’s clothes tightly with one hand and asked, “Can you not leave?”

       Pei Qing said, “If I can’t graduate and find a job, how can I support you in the future?”

       Zhan Weiyang said seriously, “I can support you.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “How can you support me? You don’t have a job yourself, and now you can’t even support yourself.”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I can go to work to support you.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said nothing.

       Zhan Weiyang looked up at him, “Why don’t you say anything? I’m serious, do you want to consider it?”

       Pei Qing was still just smiling but didn’t say anything.

       Zhan Weiyang wanted to break away from his arms and said anxiously, “Don’t you believe me?”

       Pei Qing quickly hugged him tightly with his arms, pressed his head to prevent him from struggling, and said, “I believe you. I’m just very happy.”

       “What are you happy about?” Zhan Weiyang asked in a muffled voice.

       Pei Qing said, “I’m just happy that someone likes me so much and is even willing to work to support me.”

       Zhan Weiyang stopped struggling and said, “Yes, I like you too much; I think you can consider it.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “I will seriously consider it.”

       After a while, Zhan Weiguang came up to call them and said that the party had started, and Grandma wanted everyone to go downstairs to watch it. So Pei Qing took Zhan Weiyang back to the first floor.

       The Spring Festival Gala had already started. In addition to sitting around on the sofa watching TV, everyone also had a mahjong table next to them.

       Zhan Weiguang invited Pei Qing to play mahjong, but Pei Qing said, “You guys play; I don’t want to play.”

       Zhan Yingfei was originally watching the Spring Festival Gala with Grandma. Hearing this, he looked up and said to Pei Qing, “Xiao Qing, you accompany them. They don’t have enough people.”

       Pei Qing agreed to sit down and sat down at the mahjong table to play mahjong with Zhan Weiguang and his second aunt Zhan Weiyang. Zhan Xiusong wanted to join the mahjong table but was stopped by the adults and replaced by Zhan Xueqing, who was not very willing.

       Grandma sat on the sofa, patted the seat next to her, and said to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, come and watch the gala with Grandma.”

       Zhan Weiyang did not agree and walked to the dining room.

       Next to the dining table, Zhan Pengcheng, Zhan Heming, and Pei Jingrong were still sitting together, smoking and chatting. The dining table had been cleaned up, and Auntie Luo was washing dishes in the kitchen.

       Zhan Pengcheng obviously drank a lot of wine. Under the dim light of the restaurant, his whole face looked red. He saw Zhan Weiyang, waved his hand and said, “Come here, Yangyang.”

       Zhan Weiyang walked to his side and smelled a bad smell of smoke and alcohol, and couldn’t help frowning.

       Zhan Pengcheng grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s hand and asked him, “Is Yangyang full?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yeah.”

       Zhan Pengcheng leaned sideways, looked up at him, and asked, “Why did you leave halfway through just now?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Because I was full.”

       Zhan Pengcheng nodded, “I’ll ask Auntie Luo to cook some dumplings for everyone as a midnight snack later; you can eat some more.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t speak.

       Zhan Pengcheng pulled him, “Do you want to sit with Dad?”

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

       Zhan Pengcheng then let go of his hand and said, “Then go watch the party with Grandma.”

       Zhan Weiyang left the dining table and returned to the living room. He did not sit on the sofa to watch the party but lifted a chair and put it next to Pei Qing, and sat down obediently to watch him play cards.

       Zhan Xueqing raised her head and glanced at Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang did not notice. He moved closer to look at the cards in front of Pei Qing and soon sat up straight again. He could not understand it; he just wanted to sit next to Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing also seemed a bit nonchalant. He leaned in closer to Zhan Weiyang and asked, “Do you want to play?”

       Before Zhan Weiyang answered, Zhan Weiguang said, “Don’t let him. He doesn’t know how to play.”

       After that, Zhan Weiguang said to Zhan Weiyang, “Just sit there.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him unhappily, then bent his knees and raised both feet to step on the stool, hunched his back and hugged his legs to play with his mobile phone.

       He sent a message to Chen Youyou: “Happy New Year.”

       After a while, Chen Youyou replied to him: “Too early.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t understand: “What do you mean too early?”

       Chen Youyou replied: “It isn’t New Year’s Day yet. You have to send it after twelve o’clock.”

       Zhan Weiyang had to type: “Okay.”

       Then, he put the phone back in his jacket pocket and leaned his head on Pei Qing’s shoulder.

       Zhan Weiguang looked at him with dissatisfaction, “Sit down properly. How can Qing ge play cards like this?”

       Pei Qing said, “It’s okay, let him lean on.” Then, he adjusted the angle to make Zhan Weiyang lean on him more comfortably.

       After a while, Zhan Pengcheng and the others came out of the dining room, and Pei Qing stood up and gave his seat to Zhan Heming.

       Zhan Weiyang followed Pei Qing to sit next to the sofa, and the family chatted while watching the evening party.

       At about ten o’clock, Auntie Luo went to cook a large plate of dumplings for everyone as a midnight snack. The people playing mahjong stopped and gathered around the coffee table to eat dumplings. When they finished eating, Grandma couldn’t stand it anymore and went back to her room, wrapped in her blanket, to sleep.

       So Zhan Yingfei turned down the volume of the TV and turned off the lights in the living room, leaving only a small spotlight to illuminate the mahjong table.

       Others were watching TV and chatting; Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang sat in the corner, Zhan Weiyang was playing games with his mobile phone, and Pei Qing was watching next to him.

       The surrounding light was dim, with only the fluorescent light from the TV screen shining on their faces. The sound of mahjong mixed with the sound of the TV and the voices of Zhan Pengcheng and the others was like a barrier separating this corner.

       When it was almost twelve o’clock, Zhan Weiyang received a message from Chen Youyou, saying to him: “Remember to send me a Happy New Year at twelve o’clock.”

       After reading the message, Zhan Weiyang did not reply to him immediately but looked up at Pei Qing and said, “The New Year is coming.”

       Pei Qing said ‘En’ softly.

       Zhan Weiyang had experienced so many New Years since he was a child, and this year seemed to be particularly different for him.

       He began to get a little excited and waited for the New Year with trepidation.

       The countdown to the Spring Festival Gala on TV began, and those who should be chatting in the living room continued to chat, and those who were playing cards continued to play cards without being disrupted by the countdown.

       Only Zhan Weiyang stopped. He looked up at Pei Qing with expectations in his eyes that he could not explain.

       They were in the corner, and the people sitting on the sofa could not see them unless they turned their heads to look. And among the people at the mahjong table, only Zhan Xueqing was facing them.

       Zhan Xueqing played cards carelessly all night. She didn’t want to play, but she would be even less in the mood to sit and watch TV if she didn’t play.

       At this time, she heard the countdown on the TV, and she couldn’t help but look up in the direction of Pei Qing and the others.

       On the TV, when the countdown to the New Year was about to reach one, Zhan Xueqing saw Pei Qing lower his head and kiss Zhan Weiyang’s lips very lightly and quickly and then whisper something.

       Then Pei Qing raised his head, seemed to notice Zhan Xueqing’s sight, and looked at her calmly.

       Zhan Xueqing fiddled with the cards in her hand, casually playing one. Her mind was completely blank.

       Even though Pei Qing said that, Zhan Weiyang still felt uneasy. He couldn’t understand how things had been fine in the morning, but by the afternoon, Pei Qing suddenly decided to leave.

       Zhan Weiyang was a little flustered, but this kind of panic was not necessarily morbid. It might also be because he had just drunk coffee, and his heartbeat was a little erratic.

       He began to think whether he had a way to keep Pei Qing and not let him go.

       Zhan Weiyang had tried very hard, but his not-so-bright little head couldn’t come up with any good ideas.

       When it got dark, the New Year’s Eve dinner officially began.

       The sound of the TV in the living room outside was still ringing, and the dining table in the dining room was already filled with steaming hot meals.

       The whole family sat around the dining table. Zhan Pengcheng first asked everyone to sit down, then took out the wine from the wine cabinet and enthusiastically poured it on everyone.

       Zhan Weiyang was sent to sit at the small table, and he couldn’t help turning his head to look at Pei Qing.

       Perhaps the action was too obvious, Zhan Weiguang, who was sitting next to him, said, “What are you doing?”

       “Huh?” Zhan Weiyang looked at him.

       Zhan Weiguang tapped the plate in front of him with chopsticks and said, “Just eat well. Why are you looking around?”

       Zhan Weiyang whispered, “Don’t bother me.”

       Zhan Xueqing sat opposite Zhan Weiyang. She had not spoken all night, but now she looked up at him.

       Zhan Weiyang thought of Pei Qing’s departure again, and he had no appetite for food.

       Zhan Xiusong sat next to him, quickly finishing the sweet and sour pork ribs on the plate in front of him. For him, today was New Year’s Eve, and this kind of New Year’s Day should give his body, which had worked hard to lose weight, a holiday, so he made an agreement with himself that he could eat as much as he wanted on the last day of this year and continue to lose weight next year.

       Zhan Weiguang saw that the sweet and sour pork ribs on the plate were quickly finished, and he couldn’t help but stretch out his chopsticks to pick up one for Zhan Weiyang and put it in the bowl.

       Zhan Weiyang’s attention was obviously not focused, and he didn’t react at all.

       Zhan Weiguang said, “Isn’t it the sweet and sour spareribs you like?” In his impression, Zhan Weiyang likes all sweet and sour food.

       Zhan Weiyang then looked down and said to Zhan Weiguang calmly, “Thank you.”

       For some reason, Zhan Weiguang felt as if something had suddenly choked him. Unhappily, he said, “Eat it if you want; I don’t care.”

       At this time, Zhan Weiyang turned his head to look at Pei Qing, who was sitting next to the big table. Pei Qing was toasting Zhan Pengcheng. He looked like an adult with an adult smile on his face.

       Pei Jingrong said beside him, “Pei Qing has caused you too much trouble in the past six months.”

       Zhan Pengcheng said, “No way. When I was away, it was Pei Qing who helped me take care of Yangyang and grandma. This glass of wine should be toasted to him.”

       They drank the wine with mutual courtesy.

       When Pei Qing sat down, Pei Jingrong said, “After the Chinese New Year, Pei Qing will go back with us.”

       Zhan Pengcheng was a little surprised, “Is Pei Qing leaving too?”

       Pei Jingrong did not answer for Pei Qing but just looked at him.

       Pei Qing’s slender fingers were still holding the edge of the wine glass. He was silent for a while and said to Zhan Pengcheng, “Yes, my internship here has ended. I was supposed to return to school next semester to handle graduation and job matters, and with the New Year coming up, it’s also a good time to go back and see relatives and friends.”

       Zhan Pengcheng nodded, “That’s right.”

       Zhan Weiyang kept looking at them without turning back. He heard Pei Qing’s words, and his disappointment and sadness were written on his face.

       Zhan Xueqing, who was sitting opposite him, put down his chopsticks and looked at him.

       Zhan Weiguang also noticed his expression and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

       Zhan Weiyang put down his chopsticks and said to Zhan Weiguang, “I don’t want to eat anymore.”

       Zhan Weiguang frowned, “Why do you suddenly not want to eat? It’s Chinese New Year today, and there are so many guests at home, don’t be angry.”

       Zhan Weiyang opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything. At this time, he realised that Zhan Xueqing was looking at him. Even Zhan Xiusong, who had never stopped eating, was looking at him while gnawing on chicken wings. He thought that what Zhan Weiguang said actually made sense. It was Chinese New Year at home today, and there were so many guests. It would be very rude for him not to eat well. So he picked up the chopsticks and the bowl and said listlessly, “Then I’ll eat.”

       He looked at the dishes on the table and didn’t think there was anything he wanted to eat, so he took the bowl directly to the kitchen to add more rice for himself. He filled a full bowl, came back to the table, sat down, and showed his bowl to Zhan Weiguang.

       Zhan Weiguang said, “What are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m eating.” After that, he really buried his head and started to use chopsticks to pick up the white rice in the bowl.

       While eating, he thought carefully. What Pei Qing said actually made sense. He would always go back after the internship, and now that it was the Chinese New Year, he should go back to visit his grandmother too, right?

       There was no reason for him to ask Pei Qing to stay, but when would Pei Qing come back after he left? Would he not see Pei Qing in the six months, or would Pei Qing stay there to work after graduation and would not come back after the past six months? Would he have to wait until next year’s New Year to see Pei Qing again?

       Thinking of this, Zhan Weiyang felt scared at first, and then a wave of sadness came over his heart, and sad emotions kept coming up.

       When Zhan Xiusong leaned over to get toilet paper to wipe the oil off his hands, his eyes suddenly caught something in Zhan Weiyang’s rice bowl. He turned his head to see and found that Zhan Weiyang was crying.

       Zhan Weiyang continued to eat silently, crying silently. All his tears fell into his bowl and seeped into the snow-white and soft rice.

       “Why are you crying?” Zhan Xiusong was puzzled.

       Zhan Weiyang glanced at him and said nothing.

       Zhan Weiguang’s attention was drawn to him. He pinched Zhan Weiyang’s face and asked him to turn around to face himself. He was stunned and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his eyes to look at his bowl. There was only a little rice left in it. He scooped all the rice into his mouth, chewed it hard, swallowed it, and asked Zhan Weiguang, “Can I leave?”

       Zhan Weiguang still asked, “What’s wrong?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Then I’ll leave first.” After that, he stood up and walked out of the dining room.

       Zhan Pengcheng noticed it and called him loudly, “Yangyang!”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer and had already walked out of the dining room.

       Zhan Pengcheng asked Zhan Weiguang, “What happened to your brother? Go and see!”

       Zhan Weiguang put down his chopsticks and was about to get up when Pei Qing said, “I’ll go.”

       After that, Pei Qing got up and left the dining room.

       Zhan Pengcheng still felt uneasy. At this time, Zhan Yingfei persuaded him, “It’s okay. Pei Qing is a sensible child. Let him go and see. Don’t worry too much.”

       After Zhan Weiyang came out of the dining room, he passed the living room and went up the stairs to the second floor. He stood at the stairs for a while, pushed open the balcony door and walked out.

       The temperature outside was very low. He was only wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt and stood in a daze on the empty balcony.

       The neighbourhood was quieter than usual, but from time to time, you could hear the sound from the dining room downstairs. It was the sound of the adults at home laughing and talking while eating and drinking. Then there was the faint sound of music coming from the single-family villa farther away.

       Zhan Weiyang wasn’t actually thinking about anything. His mind was blank; he was just too sad and needed to catch his breath.

       But soon, he heard footsteps coming out from inside, and then someone put a soft down jacket on his shoulders.

       Pei Qing’s voice sounded, “Put on more clothes.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked up and looked at him in the light of the street lamp.

       Pei Qing chased up from downstairs, and when he saw Zhan Weiyang standing on the balcony, he immediately went back to the room to get him clothes. Now he grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s arm and put the sleeves of the down jacket on him like putting clothes on a child. When the clothes were put on, he carefully zipped them up and pulled them all the way to Zhan Weiyang’s chin.

       Zhan Weiyang’s face still had traces of crying.

       Pei Qing lifted his hand, wiped it with his fingers and asked, “Why did you cry?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m sad.”

       Pei Qing asked him, “Because I said I was leaving?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, he pressed his chest with one hand, and said, “I feel so bad. What should I do?”

       Pei Qing looked at him and found that Zhan Weiyang’s eyes began to redden again, and he looked like he was about to cry.

       Perhaps it was the special night of family reunions and festive lights that stirred something deep within Pei Qing. He found himself recalling many people and events from his past—his parents’ cold war before their divorce, the awkwardness of suddenly having strangers become family after his father’s remarriage and even the confusion he felt during adolescence when he discovered his attraction to the same sex. He had faced all those emotions alone, enduring them on his own and believing that they didn’t matter. But did they really not matter?

       Pei Qing looked down at Zhan Weiyang and smiled very lightly. Zhan Weiyang asked him, “Why are you smiling?”

       Pei Qing said, “Do you want to cry? Do you want to cry for a while?”

       Zhan Weiyang asked, “Can I?”

       Pei Qing nodded, “Yes.”

       Zhan Weiyang hugged Pei Qing’s waist, buried his face in his chest, and cried sadly. Pei Qing hugged Zhan Weiyang, patted his back gently, raised his head and felt the cold wind blowing on his face, but his eyes were slightly hot.

       Zhan Weiyang slept until about three in the afternoon. When he woke up, he was a little confused for a while, not knowing what time it was or where he was.

       He turned over and found Pei Qing sleeping beside him, looking like he hadn’t woken up yet.

       After hesitating for a while, Zhan Weiyang stretched out a hand towards Pei Qing, wanting to touch his nose lightly with his finger but afraid of waking him up, so the finger finally fell into the air, and he could feel Pei Qing’s warm breath.

       Suddenly, Pei Qing raised one hand and grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s hand, then squeezed his fingers tightly.

       Zhan Weiyang was startled, but seeing that Pei Qing didn’t even open his eyes, he asked uncertainly, “Are you awake?”

       Pei Qing closed her eyes and said, “I’m not awake.”

       Zhan Weiyang immediately said, “How can you talk to me if you’re not awake?”

       Pei Qing’s mouth curled up slightly and said, “Guess.”

       Zhan Weiyang knew that Pei Qing must have woken up. He tried to get his hand away but failed, so he simply got up, turned over and sat on Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing was pressed by him and made a slight ‘Hng–’ sound and finally opened his eyes and looked at Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Are you awake this time?”

       Pei Qing said, “You woke me up, you’re getting heavier.”

       Zhan Weiyang believed the latter half of the sentence and said, “Really?”

       Pei Qing nodded.

       Zhan Weiyang reached down and touched the flesh on his stomach, feeling that it seemed to be a bit looser. He thought it was probably because he had been eating a lot at home during the holidays and had gained weight, especially since Zhan Weiguang liked drinking milk tea, having a cup almost every afternoon.

       He was a little worried and said, “I can’t drink milk tea anymore.”

       Pei Qing asked him, “Why?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “If I get fatter, you won’t be able to hold me anymore.”

       Pei Qing smiled, “What do you want me to hold you for?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought about it and came up with a clever answer, saying, “Anything.” After that, he looked at Pei Qing with a smile on his face.

       Pei Qing couldn’t help laughing. He stretched out his hand to press Zhan Weiyang’s neck, pushed his head down, and kissed his lips.

       Zhan Weiyang felt that the kiss was sweet, but it was a pity that the kiss didn’t last too long. He heard someone knocking on the door outside.

       Pei Qing stopped and patted Zhan Weiyang’s lower back calmly, asking him to get off him, and asked loudly, “Who is it?”

       Zhan Weiguang’s voice came from outside, “Qing ge, are you still sleeping?”

       Pei Qing said, “I’m up.” He didn’t take off his clothes, and got out of bed and walked to the door and opened it.

       Zhan Weiguang asked, “Is Zhan Weiyang still sleeping?” He looked inside as he said this.

       Zhan Weiyang was still lying on the bed, covering half of his face with the quilt, with only two round eyes exposed and looking at Zhan Weiguang.

       Pei Qing said, “He’s up too.”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “Want to come down for milk tea?”

       “Can you still buy milk tea today?” Pei Qing asked casually.

       Zhan Weiguang said, “Everything nearby is closed. I bought the bagged milk tea at the supermarket and made it myself. Come on.” After that, Zhan Weiguang went downstairs first.

       Pei Qing called Zhan Weiyang to get up, and the two went downstairs together.

       The living room downstairs was still very lively. The adults were still sitting around the sofa chatting. The coffee table in front of the sofa was full of sugar and melon seeds, and the teacups were filled with hot tea.

       Zhan Weiguang waved to them at the kitchen door.

       When Zhan Weiyang passed by the living room, he saw Pei Jingrong and suddenly remembered something.

       The kitchen was filled with steam. The gas stove was burning with a flame, and the steamer was releasing steam. The electric slow cooker was emitting a fragrant aroma from the stew. Next to it was a fried fish, ready to be served after being drizzled with sauce.

       Zhan Xiusong was in the kitchen at this time, fiddling with the new coffee machine.

       Pei Qing had ordered the coffee machine several days ago, but it was only delivered about two or three days ago, and they had never used it.

       This afternoon, there was no milk tea for takeout, so Zhan Weiguang wanted to make milk tea for himself and try the new coffee machine.

       Auntie Luo was still busy in the kitchen, disliked them being on the way here, and asked them to take the coffee machine out to another place.

       So Zhan Weiguang took the coffee machine to the living room, unpacked the new coffee beans, and studied how to use it while reading the instructions.

       Pei Qing asked him, “Aren’t you making milk tea?”

       Zhan Weiguang said, “Let’s make a cup of Yuanyang¹Yuenyeung is a drink created by mixing coffee with tea.”

       Zhan Weiyang stood by and watched them, but he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Pei Jingrong. Suddenly he remembered what was going on, and he anxiously pulled Pei Qing’s clothes.

       Pei Qing was helping Zhan Weiguang operate the coffee machine and said to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, wait for me for a while.”

       Zhan Weiyang had to wait for him patiently.

       When the coffee was finally brewed, the whole room was filled with the aroma of coffee, and Zhan Xiusong excitedly poured the milk tea into several cups and then added coffee to them.

       Zhan Weiguang tried the coffee first and said to Pei Qing, “Not bad.”

       Pei Qing didn’t want to drink milk tea, so he just asked for a cup of black coffee. He took a sip and nodded. Then he turned around and saw Zhan Weiyang holding the cup and drinking it in small sips. He then said, “You should drink less. Be careful you can’t fall asleep at night.”

       Zhan Weiguang said beside him, “It doesn’t matter tonight. If you can’t fall asleep, we can play cards.”

       “You want to play all night?” Pei Qing asked him.

       Zhan Weiguang smiled and said, “Why not?” Boys in their late teens were at the height of their energy.

       Zhan Weiyang’s Yuanyang cup was added with sugar and milk. He felt that it tasted just right. After drinking a cup, he asked Zhan Xiusong to pour him another cup.

       When he finished drinking, Pei Qing reached out to take his cup and said, “Don’t drink anymore. You really won’t be able to fall asleep at night.”

       Zhan Weiyang whispered to him, “I can drink some wine later.”

       “Can drinking some wine offset the effect of coffee?” Pei Qing asked.

       Zhan Weiyang was surprised and asked, “Don’t you want to sleep after drinking?” Every time his father drank, he fell asleep quickly and deeply.

       Pei Qing shook his head, “I don’t think so.” At least he didn’t feel very sleepy after drinking, but rather he felt an unusual excitement.

       Zhan Weiyang thought of what he wanted to say again, looked at Pei Qing with a serious expression and asked him, “Qing ge, are you leaving?”

       Pei Qing was stunned by his question and asked back, “Why do you think I’m leaving?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I heard you talking to your father.”

       Pei Qing didn’t answer immediately. He glanced at the surrounding environment and felt that it was not appropriate to talk about this with Zhan Weiyang, so he said, “I’ll tell you later.” After that, he asked Zhan Weiyang, “What else did you hear?”

       “Huh?” Zhan Weiyang didn’t understand.

       Pei Qing wanted to know if Zhan Weiyang had heard what he and Zhan Xueqing said. He didn’t really want Zhan Weiyang to know that since it was just some meaningless worries that no longer mattered.

       In Pei Qing’s eyes, Zhan Weiyang was too innocent and pure, so he should be well protected and not get hurt.

       Pei Qing said, “You just heard me talking to my dad?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded, “Then I fell asleep.”

       “That’s nothing,” Pei Qing said.

       Although Pei Qing had just said that he would tell him later, Zhan Weiyang was still very worried and couldn’t help asking again, “Will you leave?”

       Pei Qing said, “Even if I leave, it will be temporary. I will be back soon. Don’t be afraid.”

       He had already planned to go back with Pei Jingrong on the third day of the New Year, and even if he didn’t go back then, he would go back when school started. Temporary separation was inevitable, and what he needed to do was to comfort Zhan Weiyang’s emotions.

       The corridor fell silent.

       Zhan Weiyang was still standing behind the door, not knowing whether to continue listening.

       Pei Qing leaned against the wall of the corridor, looking at Pei Jingrong. They hadn’t seen each other for almost half a year, and every time he saw Pei Jingrong, he could feel that he was getting older.

       Actually, compared with his peers, Pei Jingrong still looked young. He was tall and handsome, always well-dressed, and his hair was carefully combed. His hair colour was dark and there was no trace of white hair for the time being.

       But it was different for Pei Qing. In his impression, Pei Jingrong was still the same as he had seen when he was a child. Now that they had been apart for a long time, every time Pei Qing looked at Pei Jingrong’s face carefully, he would feel that he had changed from what he remembered.

       Pei Jingrong was also looking at Pei Qing quietly. After a while, he said, “Your internship is almost over, right?”

       Pei Qing said, “Yes.”

       Pei Jingrong said to him, “Your aunt and I have decided to go back on the third day of the New Year. I think you can go back with us.”

       “The third day?” Pei Qing repeated these two words softly. It was already New Year’s Eve today, and the third day of the new year was only three days away.

       Pei Jingrong said, “What’s the matter? The New Year is almost over, and you still plan to stay at someone else’s home? Aren’t you going back to see Grandpa and Grandma, or meet up with your classmates and friends?”

       Pei Qing knew that Pei Jingrong had a point and that he should go back. However, the only reason why he hesitated was because he was a little worried about Zhan Weiyang, who was still taking his medication every day.

       At this time, a person suddenly appeared at the stairs. The father and son turned their heads at the same time and saw that it was Zhan Xueqing who had come up.

       Zhan Xueqing’s footsteps were very light, and they didn’t hear it. It was only when they saw the person that they suddenly reacted.

       Pei Jingrong greeted softly, “Xueqing.”

       Zhan Xueqing called out, “Uncle Pei.”

       Pei Qing didn’t say anything.

       Zhan Xueqing stood at the entrance of the stairs and watched them without leaving.

       Pei Jingrong probably felt it was inconvenient to continue talking, so he said to Pei Qing, “Think about what I just said again.” After that, he turned around and nodded to Zhan Xueqing, and walked towards the stairs.

       After he left, Pei Qing turned around and planned to go back to the room.

       Zhan Weiyang was behind the door and clearly heard him touch the door handle. He jumped back to the bed like a rabbit and pretended to sleep.

       But Pei Qing did not open the door and came in immediately. Zhan Xueqing called him from outside.

       Zhan Xueqing said, “My mmm just asked me to go back with them after the New Year.”

       Pei Qing was silent for a while and asked, “Are you going back?”

       Zhan Xueqing was a little surprised and said, “I thought you wouldn’t care about me. Of course I will go back. Why should I still stay here?”

       Pei Qing nodded and said, “You should go back to accompany Auntie.”

       “Hey!” Zhan Xueqing called him, “Then are you going back?”

       Pei Qing said, “Let me think about it.”

       Zhan Xueqing said to him, “You don’t need to avoid me. It’s not like I’m going to do anything to you.”

       Pei Qing glanced in the direction of the door. He didn’t know if Zhan Weiyang was asleep because of the door, but he guessed that Zhan Weiyang was asleep. Then he turned to look at Zhan Xueqing and said, “You misunderstood.”

       Zhan Xueqing was stunned, “What?”

       Pei Qing said, “I’m not avoiding you.”

       Zhan Xueqing looked at him and suddenly laughed, saying, “Pei Qing, do you dare to repeat what you just said?”

       Pei Qing said, “It’s true that I came over here for my internship to avoid meeting you, but I’m not avoiding you now.”

       Zhan Xueqing and Pei Qing originally studied in the same city where they lived. During their studies, they lived on campus and went home on weekends.

       Zhan Xueqing said to Pei Qing, “So you just simply hate me?”

       Pei Qing said, “I don’t hate you. You are my sister; why would I hate you?” In reality, Pei Qing didn’t mean those words entirely sincerely. He made an effort to treat Zhan Xueqing like a sister in their interactions, but they were never biological siblings. By the time they met, they were no longer children. Unlike Zhan Weiguang and the others, Zhan Xueqing was a girl, so Pei Qing was always mindful of how he interacted with her. Their relationship never reached the level of genuine sibling affection.

       Zhan Xueqing said, “Okay, we are siblings. I want to know, is it because of this that you said that it is absolutely impossible for you and me?” This was what Zhan Xueqing wanted to ask Pei Qing from the beginning. As soon as her school was on vacation, she dragged her suitcase over here directly just to ask this question in person. Unfortunately, Pei Qing never gave her a chance, and she always felt this blockage in her heart.

       Pei Qing looked at her at this time and answered seriously, “No.”

       Zhan Xueqing looked at him.

       Pei Qing said again, “It’s really not, but I can’t to you.”

       Zhan Xueqing bit her lip as if trying to control her emotions, “Is it that I’m the problem? Then it means you could have it with someone else”

       Pei Qing said, “Yes.”

       Zhan Xueqing stubbornly asked him, “What’s wrong with me? Can you tell me so that I can give up?”

       Pei Qing whispered, “Do you really want to know?”

       Zhan Xueqing nodded.

       Pei Qing’s expression grew more serious. He didn’t want Zhan Xueqing to think he was just making a dismissive joke. In a subdued tone, he said, “You are a girl.”

       Zhan Xueqing was stunned. She had made some guesses before, but she didn’t want to accept this guess from the bottom of her heart. She repeatedly told herself that she was thinking too much, so when she heard Pei Qing’s words, she still didn’t react for a while and said, “Say it again?”

       Pei Qing approached her, stopped in front of her, bent down slightly, and whispered, “I don’t like girls. Any girl is not okay with me.”

       Zhan Xueqing looked at him, her eyes glaring a little harder.

       Pei Qing stood up and patted her shoulder gently, “So you should be my sister.”

       He and Zhan Xueqing had been entangled for a long time. From the beginning, Pei Qing directly rejected Zhan Xueqing, but he said it very tactfully, just not wanting to expose his sexual orientation in front of Zhan Xueqing.

       Until this moment today, Pei Qing suddenly felt that it didn’t matter.

       He recalled the conversation with Pei Jingrong just now. He thought that he would always leave this home and start his own life. He knew that he had not liked girls since adolescence. From the initial suspicion to the later acceptance, since he had made up his mind what kind of path he would take in the future, there was no need to hide it now.

       Zhan Xueqing didn’t come back to his senses for a long time until she saw Pei Qing turning around to leave and couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t you afraid that I will tell Uncle Pei?”

       Pei Qing said, “It’s okay. You can do whatever you want.”

       His father was getting older, and although his shoulders were still broad, the weight he could bear was getting lighter and lighter. He had grown up, and he needed to bear his own weight.

       He began to become confident and began to be able to decide his own life.

       After saying this, Pei Qing opened the door and went back to the room.

       Zhan Weiyang lay on the bed, the quilt was pulled up to cover half of his face, and his breathing was even. He was indeed asleep.

       Pei Qing walked to the bed, bent down and kissed Zhan Weiyang’s soft lips.
