Month: May 2024

       Because it was a Saturday that was hard to come by, Zhan Weiyang did not study by himself in the evening. Instead, he took a shower early and stayed in Pei Qing’s room playing mobile games with Chen Youyou.

       Pei Qing was reading next to him, and the two of them didn’t interfere with each other.

       When Pei Qing was about to go to bed, Zhan Weiyang hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Youyou, put his cell phone on the bedside table, and lay down on his own half of the bed.

       He closed his eyes and waited until Pei Qing turned off the desk lamp. Just when he was about to fall asleep, he heard the female voice suddenly ringing in the air, “The relationship state has been negatively improved, and 2 points have been deducted. The user’s score today: 38 points.”

       Zhan Weiyang was so frightened that his scalp was numb and he opened his eyes.

       The room was dark. He was lying on his back and could only vaguely see the outline of the overhead light on the ceiling. He rubbed his fingers uneasily and turned furtively to look at Pei Qing. He saw Pei Qing lying motionless on his side, breathing very shallowly. He didn’t know if he was already asleep or not.

       Zhan Weiyang closed his eyes again but found that his mood could not be calmed down. He recalled how he and Chen Youyou found someone to stop Xie Ling today. Although things did not go smoothly according to his original plan, the relationship between him and Xie Ling should not be negatively affected. Moreover, they also sent Chen Youyou to the hospital together. Even if they didn’t give him points, they shouldn’t reduced his points.

       He couldn’t figure it out, and his mind, which was not very clear to begin with, became even more confused.

       Zhan Weiyang completely lost his sleepiness. He waited for a while and leaned closer to Pei Qing to listen to his breathing. He felt that Pei Qing must have fallen asleep, so he gently lifted the quilt and got out of bed, pulling on his slippers and walking towards the room’s door.

       He was very careful when he opened the door. He turned the door handle and made a slight noise. He immediately turned back to look at Pei Qing. When he saw that the figure on the bed was still lying quietly without any movement, he walked out with confidence.

       Zhan Weiyang stood in the corridor and first looked back in the direction of Zhan Pengcheng’s room. The door was still closed. He walked over and held the handle. He put his face against the door and stood quietly for a while. He felt that he missed his father. Then he turned around and walked to the other end of the corridor.

       He didn’t turn on the lights all the way, and the corridor was dimly lit. Everything could only be seen as a vague outline. When passing the stairs, Zhan Weiyang turned his head and took a look. He always felt that there was something in the shadow, and he immediately trotted nervously all the way until he came to the door leading to the balcony at the end opened the door lock from the inside and walked out.

       The balcony was much brighter than the house inside. Not far ahead were the street lights in the community and the cars passing in front of their house. The bright car lights flash past Zhan Weiyang’s face.

       Actually, Pei Qing was not asleep either. He felt it when Zhan Weiyang came close to him and listened to his breathing.

       Later Pei Qing heard Zhan Weiyang get up and leave the room.

       He didn’t know where Zhan Weiyang went, but he just felt strange. He sat up from the bed and heard Zhan Weiyang’s footsteps in the corridor, and then he heard the sound of him opening and locking the door.

       Pei Qing got out of bed and followed him out. When he came to the corridor, he saw the door leading to the balcony at the end opened, and a cool breeze blew in from the outside.

       Pei Qing walked over gently and saw Zhan Weiyang, with his back to the door, standing straight on the edge of the balcony in the open space between two pots of plants. This open space had been vacated by Zhan Weiyang himself.

       At that moment, Pei Qing thought Zhan Weiyang was sleepwalking, and he didn’t even dare to make a sound to disturb him.

       But in fact, Zhan Weiyang was not sleepwalking. He was just staring outside the balcony in a daze at the fountain in the middle of the neighbourhood’s garden. There was a circle of yellow lights next to the fountain, which would stay on all night and would not be turned off until dawn. Usually, there were always people playing by the fountain, but only in the dead of night when everything was quiet and no one could be seen.

       Zhan Weiyang felt useless, as if no matter what he did, he could not increase his score, but could only watch it decrease day by day until it reached zero on the last day.

       He had already found a seat for himself. This was the place with the best view on the balcony. It faced both the fountain in the neighbourhood and the balcony door. He could see people playing outside, as well as his father and Pei Qing passing through the corridor.

       If he ended up turning into a plant, he would have put himself here.

       But Zhan Weiyang also felt a little melancholy no matter what. Pei Qing would probably not allow him to sleep on his bed anymore, because then his roots would fall off and soil Pei Qing’s bed.

       Zhan Weiyang sighed softly.

       At this time, Pei Qing walked up behind him and called out softly, “Zhan Weiyang?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t hear Pei Qing’s footsteps and was really startled. He turned around quickly and said with a pale face, “Qing ge?”

       Only then did Pei Qing confirm that he was not sleepwalking, so he asked, “Why don’t you sleep?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I came over to take a look.”

       “What are you looking at?” Pei Qing had already walked to his side. He looked in the direction of his gaze and saw the softly lit fountain. He also found two swings side by side next to the fountain.

       Zhan Weiyang said to him, “Look at my spot.”

       “What?” Pei Qing turned her head and lowered her gaze to look at him.

       Zhan Weiyang and Pei Qing stood side by side, pointing to the fountain, “Look, you can see the most beautiful part of the community from here.”

       Pei Qing hummed and said, “So?”

       Zhan Weiyang did not continue to answer him but frowned in confusion. After a while, he stood up on tiptoes and tried to get closer to Pei Qing’s ear, and he said to Pei Qing almost in a breathy voice, “My points are almost all gone.”

       It took Pei Qing two or three seconds to realise what Zhan Weiyang meant. In fact, he had almost forgotten what Zhan Weiyang said about point deduction. At that time, he only thought it was nonsense without meaning.

       But now Zhan Weiyang was very serious and said in Pei Qing’s ear, “After that I will stay here. You must remember to water me.”

       Pei Qing was silent for a while and asked, “Does it mean that you will turn into a plant after your points are deducted?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him and nodded.

       Pei Qing said, “But people will not turn into plants.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at him with a puzzled expression.

       Pei Qing continued, “Those are two different creatures and will not change to each other.”

       Zhan Weiyang was confused and couldn’t figure it out after thinking for a long time.

       The cool wind kept blowing from outside, and Zhan Weiyang suddenly sneezed twice. He sniffed and looked at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing said, “It’s too late. Let’s go back to sleep first.”

       Zhan Weiyang wanted to speak, but couldn’t help sneezing again.

       This time Pei Qing directly grabbed his wrist, and when he touched Zhan Weiyang’s hand, he realised that his palm was cold, so he couldn’t help but push up the sleeve of his pyjamas and touch Zhan Weiyang’s arm and found that the skin was also very cold.

       “Go to sleep,” Pei Qing said, using some force to pull Zhan Weiyang to the corridor, locking the balcony door. Then, he continued to hold his wrist and lead him to the room.

       Back in the room, Pei Qing asked Zhan Weiyang to lie down on the bed, pulled the quilt up to cover his neck, pressed the quilt tightly for him, and then returned to his side to sleep.

       Zhan Weiyang lay obediently for a while, then stretched out one hand from the quilt, groping towards Pei Qing next to him, and slipped in through the gap under his quilt.

       The cold hand touched Pei Qing’s arm.

       Pei Qing moved a little but did not push Zhan Weiyang away. He just said, “Still cold?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “En, it won’t be cold soon.”

       Pei Qing held Zhan Weiyang’s hand and said, “Go to sleep.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t know what was wrong with him, but when he felt Pei Qing’s warm palm, he suddenly couldn’t help but feel happy, so happy that he wanted to smile. But he didn’t want to be seen by Pei Qing. Even in the darkness, he still buried his face on the pillow, then carefully inserted five fingers between Pei Qing’s fingers, bent them over and held them tightly to prevent Pei Qing from shaking him off.

       When they left the hospital, Pei Qing realised that neither Zhan Weiyang nor Chen Youyou had eaten lunch yet, so he had to take them to the fast food restaurant opposite the hospital for lunch.

       It was past lunch time, there were not many people in the fast food restaurant, and the food was served very quickly.

       Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou each ordered a set meal. Pei Qing had already eaten lunch and did not order. So he just sat and watched them eat.

       Chen Youyou was busy being scared just now, but now that his mood stabilised, he felt hungry. When the food was served, he was the first to take a spoon and scoop two large spoonfuls of rice mixed with soup into his mouth. As he chewed with a bulging mouth, he raised his head and he glanced at Zhan Weiyang across him.

       He saw that Zhan Weiyang was still nonchalantly mixing the marinade of his braised pork rice with the rice. He didn’t rush to eat after mixing, but raised his head and looked at Pei Qing sitting next to him, “Qing ge, you are not going to eat?”

       Pei Qing’s seat was by the window, and the sunlight penetrated the floor-to-ceiling glass and shone lazily on him. He leaned on the back of the chair and said to Zhan Weiyang, “I’ve eaten, you can eat.”

       Zhan Weiyang scooped up a spoonful of rice with a small piece of braised pork on it and put it into his mouth. He chewed it and swallowed it leisurely, and then looked at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing asked him, “Is it delicious?”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded and said, “You can try it.”

       Pei Qing said, “I don’t need to.”

       Zhan Weiyang persisted and said, “Just have a taste.” He scooped out a spoonful of rice and carefully added two pieces of meat on top.

       When Pei Qing saw Zhan Weiyang handing the spoon to his mouth, he suddenly couldn’t bear to refuse. He opened his mouth and let Zhan Weiyang feed the food into his mouth.

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly became happy and asked Pei Qing, “Is it delicious?”

       Actually, there wasn’t anything particularly tasty; it was just the flavor of the braised meat buns sold outside. However, Pei Qing still nodded in agreement.

       Zhan Weiyang handed the coke that came with the set meal to Pei Qing and said, “Here you drink it.” After that, he handed him the paper towel on his plate, as if he wanted to wipe Pei Qing’s mouth in person.

       Chen Youyou frowned as he looked at it. As soon as he frowned, the wound hurt. He quickly relaxed his brows, lowered his head and continued to eat, thinking that Zhan Weiyang was really weird.

       After dinner, Pei Qing drove Chen Youyou home first.

       Zhan Weiyang was sitting in the passenger seat, and Chen Youyou was sitting alone in the back seat. He couldn’t help but poke his head out from the middle of the front seat and look forward.

       Pei Qing stopped the car and waited for the red light when he suddenly asked, “How did Youyou get injured?”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything, but Chen Youyou took the initiative and said, “I-I was hit by X-xie Ling’s bicycle.” Perhaps because Pei Qing was not of the same age, he didn’t object to exposing his stuttering problem in front of Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing said, “Why aren’t you going home after school? What could you be doing outside that would get you hit by a bike?”

       This time Chen Youyou didn’t speak but looked at Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly became nervous. He secretly raised his hand and hit Chen Youyou’s arm from behind.

       Pei Qing saw it all but said nothing. When the red light passed and the green light turned on, he started the car and continued moving forward.

       After a while, Pei Qing said, “Since Xie Ling hit Youyou while riding a bicycle, I think it would be better for us to notify Xie Ling’s parents so that if the injury changes in the future, we can find someone to take responsibility.”

       Zhan Weiyang blurted out, “No!”

       Pei Qing looked at him, “Why not?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Because it’s all my fault and it has nothing to do with Xie Ling.”

       Pei Qing’s tone was calm, “Are you very protective of Xie Ling, is he a good friend? Is it better than your relationship with Youyou?”

       When Chen Youyou heard their conversation, he became unhappy and said in a complaining tone, “He’s just reluctant to blame Xie Ling!”

       Pei Qing smiled and asked, “Why?”

       Zhan Weiyang turned around and wanted to stop Chen Youyou from continuing, but Chen Youyou just smiled and said, “Because Xie Ling is tall, and handsome, right?” After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at Zhan Weiyang, and then it hurt. He immediately lowered his face.

       Pei Qing listened quietly, and when the car passed the next intersection, he asked without warning, “How are Xie Ling’s grades?”

       Chen Youyou replied without thinking, “Very good!”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t know what Pei Qing meant by asking this question.

       Pei Qing just nodded, and then said, “Good-looking, tall, and has good grades.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked confused.

       Pei Qing drove Chen Youyou home. When Chen Youyou arrived, only his mother was at home. Pei Qing took Zhan Weiyang up to admit his mistake to Chen Youyou’s mother. Without mentioning Xie Ling, he said that when they were fighting he was not careful that he hit Chen Youyou.

       Mother Chen said it was nothing, and invited Zhan Weiyang and Pei Qing to eat fruit, and then scolded Chen Youyou.

       Chen Youyou felt that he was hurt and was being scolded without being comforted. He suddenly felt aggrieved and squatted in the corner without saying a word.

       Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang both looked towards Chen Youyou.

       Mother Chen said she didn’t need to worry about him, and praised Zhan Weiyang for his cleverness and Pei Qing for his good looks and steady personality.

       Before leaving, Zhan Weiyang walked to Chen Youyou and knelt down. He said again, “I’m sorry.”

       Chen Youyou waved his hand at him, indicating that he didn’t care.

       Zhan Weiyang leaned forward and gently pressed his forehead to Chen Youyou’s forehead.

       Chen Youyou quickly hid back, raised his hand to cover his forehead and said, “What are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I’ll share half of it away for you, so you won’t be in as much pain.” When he was sick as a child, Zhan Pengcheng would coax him like this.

       Chen Youyou said, “No, don’t. I’m afraid of becoming stupid like you.”

       “Chen Youyou!” Mother Chen shouted angrily, “Why are you so rude?”

       Zhan Weiyang was not angry. He just stood up slowly, looked at Chen Youyou melancholy for the last time, and said, “Then I’m leaving.”

       Chen Youyou said, “Just go quickly.”

       Mother Chen sent Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang to the door. She felt a little sorry for what Chen Youyou said just now, and said to Pei Qing, “They are used to playing together, and they don’t speak nicely to each other.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “If there were a sense of proportion, Youyou would not be injured.”

       Hearing this, Mother Chen looked at Pei Qing and said, “Are you Yangyang’s older cousin? How old are you?”

       Pei Qing replied, “Twenty-one.”

       Mother Chen nodded, “You look very young to me. Are you in college?”

       Pei Qing responded, “Yes, I am a senior.”

       Mother Chen asked curiously, “Which school is it?”

       Pei Qing mentioned the name of a famous local school.

       Chen’s mother quickly said, “You are so outstanding! Come here to play often when you have time. Youyou is a sophomore in high school this year and his grades are not bad.” She lowered her voice when she said this, fearing that Chen Youyou would hear it, “But he’s mischievous and lacks discipline. He doesn’t listen to me when I speak. If you have the time, could you share your experience of studying well in college with him? Help me persuade him to prepare well for the college entrance exam and strive to get into a school as good as yours.”

       Pei Qing smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll try my best.”

       After saying goodbye to Mother Chen, the two walked into the elevator. Zhan Weiyang suddenly said to Pei Qing, “You should also talk to me.”

       Pei Qing asked, “What to say?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “What Auntie just said about what to say to Chen Youyou.”

       Pei Qing thought for a while and said, “Then tell me about that tall, good-looking person with good grades?”

       Zhan Weiyang looked confused, “Who?”

       Pei Qing looked at him for a while, then looked away, “Forget it.”

       Zhan Weiyang thought for a long time, and when the elevator dinged and reached the first floor, he suddenly realised, “You?”

       It was the first time that Zhan Weiyang met someone whom Chen Youyou called Yu ge.

       Zhu Xinyu was not tall. His thick hair was dyed yellow and combed straight up. There was a pair of black sunglasses hanging in the pocket of his black shirt.

       He brought three young men with him, one of whom looked younger than Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang, with a childish look on his face.

       Zhu Xinyu squatted on the steps leading to the underground commercial street and said to the two of them, “Don’t worry, I just want to teach the brat who bullied my little brother a lesson.”

       Chen Youyou said, “Yes!”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly felt something was wrong. He said, “No, it’s pretending to teach him a lesson.”

       Zhu Xinyu turned his gaze to his face and asked, “What do you mean pretending to teach me a lesson?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “It means you just can’t hit him. Just taunt him. I’ll hide next to him and I’ll rush out soon.”

       Zhu Xinyu took out the sunglasses from his coat pocket and put them on his face, then asked, “What are we going to do if you rush out?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Just run quickly.”

       At this time, a tall and strong young man standing next to Zhu Xinyu was unhappy. He said, “Then we will lose dignity.”

       Zhan Weiyang glanced at Chen Youyou a little at a loss.

       Chen Youyou came close to Zhu Xinyu’s ear, lowered his voice and said, “My classmate’s brain is not very g-good, you, you just follow him along.”

       Zhu Xinyu looked at Zhan Weiyang and said to Chen Youyou, “I can see it.”

       Chen Youyou added, “But you, have to help teach that Xie Ling for me first, and tell him, to be polite to me in the future. Don’t tell, my classmates about this.”

       Zhu Xinyu nodded.

       Zhan Weiyang found that Zhu Xinyu’s face was always facing his direction, but he was wearing a pair of large sunglasses, so he didn’t know if he was looking at him. Chen Youyou secretly spoke into Zhu Xinyu’s ear, just not wanting him to hear it, so he didn’t lean in to listen, but he felt a little uncomfortable.

       After Chen Youyou finished talking to Zhu Xinyu, Zhan Weiyang grabbed Chen Youyou and asked, “What did you say?”

       Chen Youyou whispered, “I told him to listen to you and stop taking action.”

       Zhan Weiyang nodded quickly.

       They walked slowly along the ramp into the commercial street. This commercial street was very narrow, probably only wide enough for a car to pass. The signs of the shops on both sides were still there, but the doors were all closed and no one was there at noon.

       Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou hid at the right stairwell of the exit ramp of the commercial street, which leads to the upper floors, and they went directly to the ground along the ramp.

       Zhu Xinyu and the three young men stood waiting in the middle of the commercial street. They had already seen Xie Ling’s photo. Such a young man with outstanding appearance and temperament, wearing the same school uniform as Chen Youyou and the others, surely wouldn’t be missed.

       Chen Youyou hid behind the wall, squatting on the ground and looking outside. During this time, he looked at the time on his phone. It wouldn’t be long before Xie Ling arrived.

       Zhan Weiyang was a little nervous. He lay on Chen Youyou’s back and looked outside with him, holding Chen Youyou’s shoulder tightly with one hand.

       Chen Youyou raised his head and said, “G-gently.”

       Zhan Weiyang quickly let go and said, “I’m sorry.”

       At this time, they saw Xie Ling riding a bicycle opposite the entrance of this not-so-long underground commercial street.

       Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang pulled their heads back almost at the same time, looking at each other guiltily, both afraid that Xie Ling would see them.

       Xie Ling was riding a bicycle very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in the middle of the commercial street and was stopped by Zhu Xinyu and the others.

       Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang didn’t dare to look around. They both squatted against the wall, eavesdropping on the conversation coming from the front.

       Zhu Xinyu said, “Are you Xie Ling?”

       The commercial street was an empty passage, which made even the smallest sound extremely loud, allowing Zhan Weiyang to hear clearly what they were saying.

       However, Xie Ling did not answer Zhu Xinyu’s question.

       One person said, “I’m asking you a question! Are you deaf?”

       Xie Ling then said coldly, “I don’t know you.”

       Zhu Xinyu said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me. Let me tell you, Chen Youyou is my brother. I’m here today to give you a warning. If you see him in the future, be polite. Otherwise, if you mess with him once, I’ll beat you up. Did you hear that?”

       Xie Ling said, “Who is Chen Youyou?”

       Zhan Weiyang felt something was wrong, and he immediately wanted to get up and rush out.

       Chen Youyou grabbed him, pulled him to his side, lowered his voice and said, “Wait, wait!”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Chen Youyou nervously, and at the same time, he heard someone shouting outside, “What the hell are you pretending for? I’m pissed off just looking at how c0cky you are!”

       He couldn’t hold back his anger and had to go out. Chen Youyou hugged his waist and held him back, saying, “Let them, take care of him a bit!”

       There were some chaotic noises outside, the bicycle bell rang suddenly, and then there was the sound of tyres scraping on the ground, accompanied by the sound of swearing words from the young man who was with Zhu Xinyu.

       Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou were stunned for a moment. When they realised that there might be a fight, they suddenly panicked.

       Naturally, Zhan Weiyang didn’t really want to ask someone to beat up Xie Ling. As for Chen Youyou, he wanted to ask someone to beat up Xie Ling, but he had no idea in his head how to beat up Xie Ling.

       All he wanted was to have a group of young toughs surround Xie Ling and give him a scare, so he’d avoid crossing paths with him in the future. He wasn’t keen on seeing things escalate to physical violence and injuring someone.

       So Chen Youyou released his hold on Zhan Weiyang. Seeing Zhan Weiyang get up and run there, he also ran.

       Zhan Weiyang ran out first and saw Xie Ling rushing toward him on a bicycle. He was startled and stopped quickly, and he froze in place.

       Xie Ling was obviously taken aback. He was not in the mood to waste time with a group of social hooligans. He used his wheels to knock people out of the way and planned to ride away directly. There was an uphill road in front of him, so he stepped on the pedals to accelerate, and as a result, he saw someone rushing in front of his wheel from the side.

       Xie Ling could only forcefully swing the handlebars to the right, trying to evade Zhan Weiyang. However, just as he swung to the side, another person rushed out from behind. This time, he couldn’t dodge anymore and had to squeeze the brakes to stop his bicycle abruptly.

       However, Chen Youyou was still knocked to the ground, and his forehead just brushed against the spokes of the front wheel.

       Zhan Weiyang exclaimed, “Ouch!”

       Chen Youyou sat on the ground, completely stunned. He couldn’t react for a while until Zhan Weiyang squatted down to support him and called him in a panic, “Youyou!”

       He replied blankly, “Ugh.” Then he raised his head and glanced at Xie Ling. He saw Xie Ling looking at him seriously.

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Youyou, you are bleeding.”

       Chen Youyou was a little confused and asked, “Where?” After saying that, he felt warm liquid sliding down his cheek. He couldn’t help but raise his hand and touch it. Sure enough, his fingers were covered with blood. He shouted, “Mom, mom, mom!”

       Zhu Xinyu and others gathered around. When they saw the blood on Chen Youyou’s face, some people subconsciously grabbed Xie Ling’s collar, “This kid is too vicious!”

       Zhan Weiyang has not forgotten his mission. While holding Chen Youyou tightly, he raised his head and shouted, “Let him go!”

       Zhu Xinyu was not sure what to do for a while. His brothers who followed him found Xie Ling very unpleasant and wanted to punish him. However, at the moment, it was more important to drive Chen Youyou to the hospital first.

       He then waved his hand and said, “Forget it, let’s all go.” At this point, he also thought of cooperating with Zhan Weiyang and the others in acting, pointed at Zhan Weiyang, and said to Xie Ling, “Today, it’s for the sake of this little friend that I’m letting you off the hook, so don’t forget to thank him properly.” After that, he asked Chen Youyou, “Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”

       Chen Youyou shook his head and said with a pale face, “I’ll go by myself.”

       Zhu Xinyu didn’t want to cause trouble, so he said, “Okay, call me if you need anything.” After that, he called several young people who were travelling with him and left together.

       Zhan Weiyang helped Chen Youyou up and walked slowly outside, thinking of taking a taxi on the roadside.

       Xie Ling rode behind them.

       Zhan Weiyang turned back to Xie Ling and said, “Are you okay?”

       Xie Ling looked at him and shook his head.

       Zhan Weiyang said again, “I’m sorry, go home by yourself. I can’t take you back. I want to accompany Youyou to the hospital.”

       Chen Youyou was so panicked at this time that he couldn’t help but want to touch his forehead and didn’t notice a word of what they were saying.

       Xie Ling’s tone was still cold, but he said, “I’ll go with you.”

       Pei Qing had finished his lunch at noon and was already on the second floor when he received a call from Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang’s tone was very cautious, and he asked him if he could come to the hospital.

       Pei Qing asked subconsciously, “Are you sick?”

       Zhan Weiyang said quickly, “It’s not me, it’s Chen Youyou. I’m just worried.”

       Pei Qing asked him the hospital’s address and said, “Wait for me. I’ll be right over.”

       After hanging up the phone, Pei Qing came down from the second floor and met Auntie Luo who had just washed the dishes. Auntie Luo saw him in a hurry and asked, “Where are you going?”

       Pei Qing knew that if he said he was going to the hospital, the elders would be worried, so he just said, “Go out.”

       Grandma was sitting on the sofa with a blanket on her knees. She habitually took a nap while leaning on the back of the chair while watching TV. She turned her head and said, “Be careful on the road.”

       Pei Qing said, “I know, grandma.” He walked towards the door. When changing shoes in the entrance, he opened the drawer above the shoe cabinet, took out the car keys that Zhan Pengcheng had put there when he left and stuffed them into his coat.

       The family’s SUV was parked in the garage. No one had driven it since Zhan Pengcheng left. Today, Pei Qing drove the car out for the first time.

       In the emergency department of the hospital, everyone looked anxious and walked in a hurry.

       Xie Ling registered for Chen Youyou and waited outside the treatment room for a while before the doctor had time to look at Chen Youyou’s wound and said he needed stitches.

       Chen Youyou’s already pale face turned even paler, and he said, “Will, my appearance be disfigured?”

       The wound was on the right side of his forehead, extending from the hairline to the corner of his eye. It was only about two centimetres long, but it looked quite deep. There was a lot of blood. Even if he wiped it with a tissue, half of his cheek was stained red.

       The doctor didn’t answer him and just said, “Boy, what are you afraid of?” Then he took Chen Youyou in to have his wound cleaned and stitched up.

       Zhan Weiyang and Xie Ling were left waiting in the corridor outside.

       Zhan Weiyang was really worried, with a pair of round glasses and a listless look, and he didn’t care to talk to Xie Ling.

       Xie Ling just looked at the closed door of the treatment room expressionlessly.

       Pei Qing arrived at this time. He found the emergency department of the hospital and saw Zhan Weiyang sitting outside the treatment room from a distance, so he walked toward him.

       Zhan Weiyang blinked and suddenly seemed to feel something. He turned his head to take a look and immediately stood up.

       Xie Ling noticed his movements and looked towards him.

       Zhan Weiyang walked quickly toward Pei Qing. He actually wanted to reach out and hug Pei Qing, but he stopped again when he reached Pei Qing. He was too embarrassed to reach out and just looked up at him and shouted, “Qing ge.”

       Pei Qing also stopped and asked him, “How is Chen Youyou?”

       Zhan Weiyang raised his finger to his forehead, “Here,” and then compared the length of about two centimetres with his thumb and index finger, “It’s such a long gash.” His tone was full of anxiety.

       Pei Qing nodded, raised his hand and touched Zhan Weiyang’s back, leading him toward the treatment room, “Are there any other injuries?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head, “No more.”

       Pei Qing asked, “No concussion or anything, right?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “No.”

       Pei Qing said calmly, “Then it’s nothing. Don’t worry.”

       The two of them sat down on chairs outside the treatment room. Zhan Weiyang tilted his head to look at Pei Qing and asked, “Really?”

       Pei Qing looked at him and nodded slightly after a while, “Really.”

       Zhan Weiyang seemed relieved and said, “That’s good.”

       Pei Qing smiled and asked him, “Are you scared?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “It’s all my fault. Chen Youyou got hurt all because of me.” His head drooped unconsciously, “And I haven’t told his parents yet.”

       Pei Qing raised his hand, patted Zhan Weiyang’s shoulder, and then looked at Xie Ling sitting next to Zhan Weiyang. Pei Qing had always had a good memory. He remembered that he had met this young man once, so he said to Zhan Weiyang, “Is this your classmate?”

       Xie Ling had been looking at them since Pei Qing arrived and only turned away when they sat down next to him.

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly felt nervous. He stood up, faced Pei Qing and said, “He is Xie Ling, from our school.” Then he said to Xie Ling, “This is my older cousin.”

       Pei Qing let out a soft ‘Ah’, and said, “Is he Xie Ling?”

       Xie Ling nodded to Pei Qing and turned away, still looking at the door of the treatment room.

       Pei Qing asked Zhan Weiyang who was standing in front of him, “So what is going on?”

       Zhan Weiyang was stunned. He glanced at Xie Ling secretly and whispered, “It’s nothing.”

       Xie Ling suddenly said, “I accidentally hit him while riding my bike.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Xie Ling again. He pinched his fingers uncomfortably and said, “No, it’s all my fault.”

       Pei Qing thought that maybe there was an accident when a few high school students were playing around. He could only say, “Go and apologize to Chen Youyou and his parents. Just learn from it and be careful in the future so that no more accidents happen.”

       At this time, the door to the treatment room opened, and Chen Youyou walked out of it with gauze on his forehead and a dazed look on his face.

       When he saw Pei Qing, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted, “Older cousin.”

       Pei Qing stood up, stretched out a hand toward him, and said, “Come here and let me take a look.”

       Chen Youyou walked over obediently and stood in front of Pei Qing.

       There was gauze on his forehead, so Pei Qing looked around the gauze and inside the hair to make sure there were no other wounds, and then asked, “Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?”

       Chen Youyou had been struggling all the way from the injury to the present. When he heard Pei Qing’s gentle question, he suddenly felt aggrieved. He shook his head and said, “N-nothing more, older cousin.” As if Pei Qing was his older cousin.

       Pei Qing turned to the doctor who came out from inside and asked if Chen Youyou had any other issues.

       The doctor, noticing that Pei Qing was slightly older, called him into the office. There, he explained some precautions to Pei Qing and gave him a prescription to pay for. He also mentioned that he needed to receive a tetanus shot.

       As soon as Pei Qing got the bill in his hand, Xie Ling grabbed it and said, “I’ll go, I’m the one who hit him.” After saying that, he quickly walked towards the payment window.

       “What’s going on?” Pei Qing turned around and asked Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou.

       Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang looked at each other, then chased after Xie Ling. He snatched the payment form back from Xie Ling and said, “Not, you, I’ll pay it, myself.”

       Zhan Weiyang quickly caught up with him and said, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”

       Xie Ling glanced at Chen Youyou and reached out to get the prescription back.

       Chen Youyou quickly stepped aside and then ran forward with the payment slip in both hands. Zhan Weiyang quickly chased after him, saying, “Give it to me, give it to me.”

       Xie Ling stood there watching them, and then Pei Qing came over. He said to Pei Qing, “Then I’ll leave first.” Then he walked towards the hospital gate.

       Pei Qing didn’t say anything, and his eyes fell on the two people in front of the payment window.

       Zhan Weiyang kept trying to grab the bill, but Chen Youyou stepped on his feet and raised the bill high with one hand while shaking it left and right, trying not to let Zhan Weiyang take it.

       Until the nurse who charged the fee became angry and shouted, “Do you want to pay? If you don’t pay, get out of the window!”

       The two of them were startled. Zhan Weiyang had the same pale face as Chen Youyou. Chen Youyou immediately stuffed the bill into the window.

The author has something to say:
In the main text, there won’t be a subplot for secondary couples, but occasionally I might feel like writing some side stories. However, there’s no guarantee that I’ll always feel like it, so please don’t expect secondary couples. But if you really mind having secondary couples, you might want to reconsider following the story.

At first, when I was torn between the two types of gong; older cousin and school bully. What I actually wanted to write was not this article, nor was it a story about this kind of shou in Zhan Weiyang. Later, after I decided on the shou’s persona, I felt Yangyang is still more suitable to be with the older cousin. If he is with Xie Ling, I think Xie Ling will suffer a lot in the future. After all, this is a short, sweet article!

Notes:
I have no excuse really, I’ve been slacking in translating (not only just this series actually) because I haven’t been in my best mood overall and since I don’t want to half-assed the translation I’d rather just put this on hold and translate later when my overall mood is better
Sorry for the long wait! I’ll still try to keep up a 1x/week schedule (ˊ ꒳ ˋ)

       During the last self-study class in the afternoon, Zhan Weiyang poked Chen Youyou on the back from the back row.

       Chen Youyou raised his head and saw that the teacher was not in the classroom. He also confirmed that the homeroom teacher was not outside the window before turning to the back.

       Zhan Weiyang tried his best to get close to his ear and whispered, “I don’t know how to stop Xie Ling when school is over.”

       Chen Youyou immediately wanted to turn back.

       Zhan Weiyang quickly grabbed Chen Youyou’s collar and said, “But we can take a taxi and wait for him in front.”

       Chen Youyou frowned. He felt that Zhan Weiyang was right, but why didn’t he think of it? He kept thinking about how to stop Xie Ling.

       When Zhan Weiyang saw that Chen Youyou was silent, he thought that Chen Youyou disapproved of him, so he asked cautiously, “How is it?”

       Chen Youyou said, “Let’s talk after class.” Then he turned back.

       By the end of class, he said to Zhan Weiyang, “It, should be okay.”

       Zhan Weiyang was very happy, and the two agreed to stop Xie Ling near a deserted underground commercial street on his way home from school.

       The underground commercial street was parallel to the street next to it. There were not many pedestrians on the street, and the commercial street where it was built was even more deserted with all the shops tightly closed. The last time they followed Xie Ling home on bikes, they noticed Xie Ling would take a shortcut through the underground commercial street. The terrain and environment there were relatively complex, making it perfect for them to lay in ambush.

       In the evening, when Zhan Weiyang was doing his schoolwork at his room’s desk, he flipped his workbook to a blank page and drew a road map on it.

       Zhan Weiyang could not remember the actual topography of that commercial street clearly, but he searched for pictures on the Internet and could barely draw a rough map. He then marked himself and Chen Youyou with small circles on it, and then drew another circle and blackened the inside to mark Xie Ling.

       He held the pen between his fingers and kept tapping his head, thinking about what he would do next. He asked Yu ge and the others to stop Xie Ling, grab his collar and ask him to give him money, and then he rushed out and asked them to let go of him. He would pretend to beat the person away, and then he could chat with Xie Ling.

       Xie Ling would definitely thank him. He would then say it was all good and send Xie Ling home.

       “What are you drawing?” When Zhan Weiyang was lost in thought, Pei Qing’s voice suddenly came from above his head.

       Zhan Weiyang was almost frightened out of his wits. He subconsciously raised his hand to block the workbook and said, “It’s nothing.”

       His drawings were ugly, like ghost talisman drawings. Pei Qing didn’t understand what he was painting at all, but when he raised his hand to cover it, Pei Qing wanted to know.

       Pei Qing had just finished taking a bath, exuding a moist and warm scent and the fragrance of shower gel. She sat down by Zhan Weiyang’s bed, looked at Zhan Weiyang and said, “So as long as I’m not here, you won’t study well, huh?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “I didn’t…”

       Pei Qing said, “Then what are you drawing that you dare not show me?”

       Zhan Weiyang lowered his head, slowly moved his arm away, and took a look at the route map he drew. After hesitating for a while, he still didn’t want Pei Qing to be unhappy, so he picked up the workbook and brought it to Pei Qing to show him.

       Pei Qing stared at the lines and circles above and asked, “Are you playing backgammon?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head.

       Pei Qing said, “What is that?”

       Zhan Weiyang pointed to the upper circle and said, “This is me.” Then pointed to another circle, “This is Chen Youyou.”

       Pei Qing raised her finger to the black circle, “What about this one?”

       Zhan Weiyang stared at the black circle for a long time before replying, “This is Xie Ling.”

       Pei Qing had heard the name Xie Ling more than once. He asked Zhan Weiyang, “Who is Xie Ling?”

       Zhan Weiyang replied, “A classmate.” He didn’t know why, but when he answered Pei Qing’s question, he suddenly felt guilty and unconsciously dug his fingers into his pants.

       In the end, Pei Qing did not continue to ask further questions and just said, “So what are you doing?”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly had an epiphany and said, “Hide and seek?” After saying that, he secretly looked at Pei Qing’s expression.

       For a moment, Pei Qing’s expression was complicated, and finally, he said, “Okay, continue reading. You must finish your homework today.”

       Zhan Weiyang said quickly, “Okay.” He went back to the table, tore off the page and continued to work on the questions.

       The two of them stayed quietly in a room, and time gradually passed. When Zhan Weiyang finished writing the homework that had to be completed today, it was already past ten o’clock in the evening.

       He yawned and stretched his hands.

       Pei Qing closed the book in his hand, stood up from Zhan Weiyang’s bedside, and said, “Can you sleep by yourself tonight?”

       Zhan Weiyang stretched halfway and put his hands down in a hurry. He looked at Pei Qing and asked, “Why?”

       Pei Qing put one hand in the pocket of his pyjamas and held a book in the other and said, “Do you want to sleep with me all the time?”

       Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes.”

       Pei Qing asked, “When will it end?”

       Zhan Weiyang thought for a while and then fell into a brief tangle. He found that he didn’t know how to answer this question.

       Pei Qing said, “I’ll only intern here for six months, then I’ll be returning to school.”

       Zhan Weiyang looked at Pei Qing and asked tentatively, “Then can I sleep with you until you leave?”

       “Why do you have to sleep with me?”

       “I don’t want to sleep alone.”

       “Then did you sleep with your father and brother before?”

       “Sometimes I sleep with my father, not my brother.” Zhan Weiguang never slept with him.

       “Is your father coming back next month?”

       “Dad said so.”

       Pei Qing said, “Alright.” These were his last words, and he stopped questioning Zhan Weiyang.

       Zhan Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had passed the exam. He followed Pei Qing to his room and closed the door very gently as if he were afraid of disturbing Pei Qing, who would then kick him out.

       After Pei Qing returned to the room, he turned on the desk lamp and sat beside the bed, put his laptop on his lap and opened it.

       Zhan Weiyang quietly climbed onto the bed from the other side, lifted the quilt and tucked himself in, lying on his side and looking at Pei Qing.

       Pei Qing looked at him after a while and said, “Will it affect your sleep if I turn on the computer?”

       Zhan Weiyang shook his head.

       Pei Qing reached out, covered Zhan Weiyang’s eyes, and said, “Then you go to sleep, I’ll watch a movie for a while.”

       Tomorrow was Saturday. Although Zhan Weiyang had to do make-up classes, Pei Qing didn’t need to go to work. He wanted to finish watching the remaining half of a movie.

       He turned off the desk lamp, put on his headphones, and sat quietly on the bed watching a movie.

       Zhan Weiyang closed his eyes and couldn’t fall asleep for a while, so he secretly opened his eyes again and gently approached Pei Qing to look at his computer screen.

       Pei Qing was watching a foreign movie. When Zhan Weiyang came closer to watch it, the male and female protagonists happened to be hugging each other and kissing. The scene was a bit intense.

       The light blue fluorescence of the computer screen shone on their faces, and Zhan Weiyang’s head almost rested on Pei Qing’s shoulder.

       Suddenly, Pei Qing reached out and covered Zhan Weiyang’s eyes, and said, “Don’t look.”

       Zhan Weiyang didn’t wear headphones and couldn’t hear the sound of the movie. He didn’t know what the male and female lead were doing now. He just asked, “Why?”

       Pei Qing’s voice was very soft and she said in his ear, “Children are not allowed to watch.”

       Zhan Weiyang’s heartbeat became faster for no reason, and he said, “I’m not a child.”

       Pei Qing said, “You are. I’m counting to three, two, one, and you should turn around and go to sleep.” After saying that, he started counting down with almost no pause, “Three—”

       Zhan Weiyang suddenly turned over and lay down with his back to Pei Qing. He pulled the quilt over his head and said, “I’m asleep.”

       In the end, he kept counting until he finished counting. Zhan Weiyang closed his eyes and fell asleep very quickly. He didn’t know when Pei Qing fell asleep.
