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.”
