Pei Qing did not answer Zhan Weiyang’s question immediately but continued to clean up his desk. He put all the used dishes into a plastic bag and threw them into the trash can. Then he came back to his seat, looked at Zhan Weiyang and asked him, “Why do you think so?”
Zhan Weiyang’s tone was full of nervousness and anxiety, “I don’t know, I guessed.”
Pei Qing said, “Why do you guess so?”
Zhan Weiyang looked at him silently for a while, lowered his head, and pinched his fingers nervously, “You said you would treat her to a meal.”
Pei Qing said, “Didn’t I treat you to a meal? I also treated you to a meal.”
Zhan Weiyang thought for a while and said, “She is a girl. And she just touched you.”
Pei Qing couldn’t help laughing but didn’t laugh out loud. He just asked, “How did she touch me?”
Zhan Weiyang reached out and touched Pei Qing’s chest with an unhappy face.
Pei Qing looked down and said, “My clothes are a little messy.”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t want to hear this and just insisted, “Then do you want to date her?”
Pei Qing finally smiled and said, “I’m not in love with her.”
Zhan Weiyang immediately looked intently at Pei Qing.
Pei Qing continued, “I’m not in love with her, and I won’t date other girls, okay?”
Zhan Weiyang’s eyes were already filled with joy, and he asked, “Really?”
Pei Qing nodded and smiled at him, “Really.”
Zhan Weiyang finally couldn’t help smiling, and looked at Pei Qing with his bright eyes without blinking.
Pei Qing raised one hand, gently placed it on his head, and asked him, “Are you happy?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded quickly.
Pei Qing asked again, “Why are you so happy?”
Zhan Weiyang smiled and said, “I don’t know either.”
Pei Qing asked, “Then, if you don’t want gege to date her… Tell me, who can I date?”
Zhan Weiyang almost blurted out ‘me’, but at the critical moment, he remembered that he couldn’t say that; the System would definitely deduct his points. So he held back and thought for a while to find a suitable way to express it, “Anyway, not with anyone else.”
Pei Qing asked, “Who is not someone else?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything.
Pei Qing didn’t force him to ask and said to him, “Then you sit here and wait for me for a while. We’ll go back after I finish the last form, okay?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded.
Pei Qing returned his attention to the computer screen, opened the keyboard drawer and continued to complete his form.
Zhan Weiyang watched quietly from the side. After a while, he stood up and hugged Pei Qing from behind, put his face on his shoulder, and whispered, “Me.”
Pei Qing asked him, “What?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer.
Pei Qing grabbed his hand, “You what?”
Zhan Weiyang still didn’t say anything.
Pei Qing clicked the mouse to save the form, then closed the document, reached out to turn off the computer screen, and said to Zhan Weiyang, “Let’s go. We’re going back.”
Zhan Weiyang looked up and asked, “Is it finished?”
In fact, it was not finished, but Pei Qing didn’t want to continue working now. He said, “Yes, the work is finished. Let’s go home.”
Zhan Weiyang immediately said, “Okay.”
When they came out of the office building, it was already completely dark, and there were not many pedestrians around.
Pei Qing carried the box with the remaining dumplings in one hand, grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s wrist with the other hand, and pulled him towards the bus stop.
There were almost no passengers waiting for the bus next to the bus stop. There were only the two of them, standing in front of the station billboard with white lights on.
Pei Qing touched Zhan Weiyang’s hand and asked him, “Are you cold?”
Zhan Weiyang shook his head.
The weather had been bad these days, so the temperature had dropped a lot. Zhan Weiyang wore a T-shirt over a light yellow sweater on the outside. Although it was a loose style, it still made him look thin.
Pei Qing raised his hand and unbuttoned his coat from the collar. He then took off his coat and put it on Zhan Weiyang’s back.
Zhan Weiyang looked at him and said, “I’m not cold.”
Pei Qing said, “Your hands are cold.”
Zhan Weiyang said, “No.”
Pei Qing smiled and said nothing, looking down at him, and then flicked Zhan Weiyang’s forehead with his fingers.
Zhan Weiyang looked up and smiled shyly. He raised his hand to rub his forehead, then lowered his head and leaned closer to Pei Qing, rubbing his sleeve.
Pei Qing reached out and put his arm around Zhan Weiyang’s shoulders, applying a bit of force before finally letting go.
After the rush hour, the bus came a little slowly. They waited for almost five minutes before they got on this bus. After getting on, they saw that there were still many empty seats in the back row.
The two sat in the last row, and the seats next to them were empty. As long as the people in front didn’t look back, no one could see them.
After the bus started, Zhan Weiyang secretly leaned his head on Pei Qing’s shoulder. He moved very slowly, from leaning lightly at the beginning to completely relaxing his strength on Pei Qing’s shoulder. He didn’t feel the other party’s rejection, so he was completely relieved.
The lights were on inside the bus. When Zhan Weiyang looked at the window glass, he could see the shadows of himself and Pei Qing. Pei Qing’s reflection on the glass was his side face with a handsome and neat outline. He was looking forward quietly. Zhan Weiyang couldn’t understand the emotions in his eyes, but he felt very relieved and gentle.
So Zhan Weiyang hoped that this road could go on. If this bus had no end, he would always be so comfortable and happy to lean on Pei Qing.
After getting off the bus, the two walked home together. After entering the neighbourhood, the light became dim. Zhan Weiyang wore Pei Qing’s coat—the sleeves and the hem of which were wobbly. He walked happily with his head down.
Zhan Weiyang saw a corner of his home building from the bushes in the neighbourhood. He pulled Pei Qing and said, “Qing ge.”
Pei Qing stopped and asked him, “What’s wrong?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Come with me, please.” After that, he pulled Pei Qing into a small path.
The path was lined with greenery on both sides. Apart from the occasional joggers and walkers in the early morning and evening, there were usually no people around. By this time, it was completely dark, and there were no streetlights nearby. The only faint light came from distant spotlights scattered across the grass, illuminating the area. The surroundings were completely deserted.
Zhan Weiyang took a deep breath, raised his hand to wrap around Pei Qing’s neck, and slowly leaned in, pouting his lips. He stopped just before his lips touched Pei Qing’s.
Pei Qing looked down at him and asked, “What?”
Zhan Weiyang showed him his mouth, “Mmm.”
Pei Qing was silent for a while. He raised one hand and pinched Zhan Weiyang’s mouth with his fingers.
Zhan Weiyang quickly broke free and said anxiously, “It’s not like that.”
Pei Qing asked him, “What is it then?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I learned it from someone.”
“Oh,” Pei Qing’s voice lowered a little, “Who did you learn it from?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Chen Youyou.”
Pei Qing continued to ask him, “Then how did he teach you?”
Zhan Weiyang suddenly felt embarrassed to use his fingers to show Pei Qing and said vaguely, “It’s like that…”
Pei Qing pinched his jaw with his hand, not allowing him to escape his sight, “What does that look like? You have to explain it gege clearly.”
Zhan Weiyang was very anxious, and he said, “You pout your lips.”
Pei Qing’s eyes were full of smiles, but it was a pity that the light around was too dim to see clearly. He asked Zhan Weiyang, “Why do you have to pout?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “If not, how can I kiss you?”
Pei Qing asked, “How exactly do you want to kiss?”
Zhan Weiyang then tried to pout his lips and put his lips to Pei Qing’s and started rubbing them clumsily.
Pei Qing dodged back, and Zhan Weiyang chased after him relentlessly. He was very upset with Pei Qing’s lack of cooperation, and he thought Pei Qing should also learn to kiss like him.
“Okay, okay,” Pei Qing had to stop him, stretched out his hand to grab Zhan Weiyang’s back collar and pulled him away from him, saying, “Do you really want to kiss?”
Zhan Weiyang said seriously, “Yes.”
Pei Qing put the meal box he was carrying in his hand to the side, hugged Zhan Weiyang’s waist with one hand, and pressed his neck with the other hand. He then lowered his head to kiss him.
