Zhan Weiyang got into college. Although it wasn’t at C University but rather a second-tier university in the city, Zhan Pengcheng was still very pleased.
When applying for a major, Zhan Weiyang wanted to apply for botany.
At that time, Zhan Weiguang asked what he could do after graduating from this program and that he wouldn’t be able to find a job. Zhan Weiyang immediately became unhappy.
Zhan Pengcheng immediately said, “Study, study, you should study whatever you want.” He and Pei Qing discussed privately that if Zhan Weiyang could not find a job after graduating from university, he would open a small flower shop for him and let him work on his own, as long as he felt happy.
Pei Qing suspected that if there were a major in the university that was a major in fortune trees, Zhan Weiyang would definitely apply for it.
Although Zhan Weiyang did not become a fortune tree in the end, he always firmly believed that there was some kind of life connection between him and the money tree.
Zhan Weiyang’s admission to the university made Zhan Pengcheng excited and proud. He wanted to hang a banner in the neighbourhood and blow the trumpet on the balcony every day to let everyone know that his youngest son was admitted to undergraduate studies.
So Zhan Pengcheng made a family trip to a hotel on the mountain to soak in the hot springs.
Grandma didn’t want to go, so she stayed home with Auntie Luo.
To take care of Pei Qing, who was busy with work, the trip was scheduled for the weekend. It would be a two-day and one-night trip, leaving on Saturday and returning on Sunday.
Zhan Weiguang didn’t want to go to the hot springs with his father and brother, so he tactfully told Zhan Pengcheng, “Let Qing ge take Zhan Weiyang there, and just book a room.”
Zhan Pengcheng asked, “What about me?”
Zhan Weiguang asked him, “Do you really want to soak in the hot springs?”
Zhan Pengcheng said, “I want to go out with my son.”
Zhan Weiguang was silent for a while and said, “Okay.” He couldn’t bear to refuse Zhan Pengcheng.
On the day of the trip, Zhan Weiyang was sitting in the car’s back seat and was obviously in a very good mood. He was chatting with Pei Qing beside him all the way.
Zhan Weiguang sat carelessly in the passenger seat, playing with his mobile phone.
When Zhan Pengcheng stopped to wait for the red light, he listened carefully to what Zhan Weiyang said to Pei Qing. He heard him talking about Chen Youyou getting drunk at their class graduation dinner. He suddenly felt a little sour thinking that Zhan Weiyang had never told him about these things.
Then, he secretly looked at Pei Qing’s expression through the rearview mirror. These topics must had been meaningless to Pei Qing, but Pei Qing’s expression was always very patient and relaxed, as if he were listening to Zhan Weiyang seriously. It seemed that no matter what Zhan Weiyang said, as long as he listened to Zhan Weiyang talking, Pei Qing would be in a good mood.
Zhan Pengcheng couldn’t tell what he felt in his heart. After the red light passed, he drove the car and continued on the road.
When they arrived at the hotel and checked in, Zhan Pengcheng insisted that Zhan Weiyang stay in the same room with him.
Zhan Weiyang was originally standing at the back, dragging his small suitcase and talking to Pei Qing. When he heard what Zhan Pengcheng said, he said without thinking, “I want to stay in a room with Qing ge.”
Zhan Pengcheng said, “No, you stay in a room with Dad.”
“Why?” Zhan Weiyang didn’t understand.
Zhan Pengcheng waved at him, “Quickly bring your ID card.”
Zhan Weiyang looked up at Pei Qing aggrievedly.
Pei Qing said to him, “Go, listen to Dad.”
Zhan Weiyang then reluctantly handed over his ID card.
Zhan Weiguang was carrying a backpack and standing at the back, waiting for Zhan Pengcheng to open a room. He saw that Zhan Weiyang looked unhappy and hooked his finger at Zhan Weiyang, “Come here.”
Zhan Weiyang looked at him, then at Pei Qing, and then at him again, “What are you doing?”
Zhan Weiguang said, “Come here.”
Zhan Weiyang walked over slowly with his small suitcase.
Zhan Weiguang whispered in his ear, “Do you want to change rooms with me tonight?”
Zhan Weiyang immediately showed a slightly excited expression, “Will you exchange rooms with me?”
Zhan Weiguang said, “I’ll think about it.”
Zhan Weiyang frowned and glared at him, not wanting to talk to him anymore.
When Zhan Weiguang saw Zhan Weiyang was about to leave, he stretched out his hand to grab his clothes and pulled him back, saying, “How about this? If you say, ‘Zhan Weiguang is the best gege in the world,’ I will find a way to change rooms with you.”
Zhan Weiyang opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.
Zhan Weiguang sneered, “Don’t want to do it? Then forget it.” After saying that, he was about to leave.
This time, Zhan Weiyang reached out and grabbed his backpack strap, reluctantly saying, “Zhan Weiguang is the best gege in the world.”
Zhan Weiguang said with a smile, “Please beg me again.”
Zhan Weiyang saw Pei Qing standing next to Zhan Pengcheng, helping him take the room card from the front desk clerk, and finally said with a hard heart, “Please.”
Zhan Weiguang felt extremely satisfied, and he said, “Since you’ve asked me, as your older brother, it’s hard for me not to help you. For now, don’t tell Dad. I’ll come back tonight to exchange.”
Zhan Weiyang nodded quickly.
A few of them put their luggage away in their rooms and rested for a while. Dinner was a buffet at the hotel’s restaurant, and then they returned to their rooms to change into bathrobes and went to soak in the hot springs.
Zhan Pengcheng booked a VIP private courtyard with a separate hot spring pool. The environment was quiet and peaceful, and there was no need to squeeze in other hotel guests, and there were no noisy children.
Zhan Weiyang took off his bathrobe, threw it on the lounge chair next to him, and put on a pair of swimming trunks to enter the pool.
Pei Qing was already in the pool. He held out a hand to Zhan Weiyang and asked him to get down slowly.
As soon as Zhan Weiyang entered the water, he jumped into Pei Qing’s arms and splashed a large amount of water.
Zhan Pengcheng stood on the shore and watched them, humming softly.
Pei Qing then supported Zhan Weiyang’s waist, helping him stand steadily and ensuring he didn’t slip. After that, he let go of him and sat down near the pool’s edge.
Zhan Weiyang sat down next to Pei Qing, first exhaled a long breath, and then said, “It’s so hot, but it’s so comfortable.”
Pei Qing told him, “It would be more comfortable if we came in winter.”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Then let’s come in winter.”
Zhan Pengcheng sat not far away and saw Zhan Weiyang only talking to Pei Qing. The unspeakable bitterness in his heart surged up again. He looked up and saw Zhan Weiguang taking off his bathrobe and stepping into the hot spring pool with his phone in one hand. He shouted, “What are you playing with?”
Zhan Weiguang paused and said, “Then what should I play with?”
Zhan Pengcheng said, “Aren’t we going to take a hot spring bath? What if your phone falls in?”
Zhan Weiguang then put his phone aside, sat down in the pool, and reached out to take it.
Zhan Pengcheng said unhappily, “You just can’t live without your phone at any time!”
Zhan Weiguang took the phone in front of him, looked at Zhan Pengcheng through the phone’s cover, secretly glanced at Zhan Weiyang, who was almost sitting on Pei Qing, and finally decided to continue playing with his phone.
After taking a hot spring bath, Zhan Pengcheng returned to the guest room and opened the door, waiting for Zhan Weiyang to go in first before he went in himself.
Zhan Pengcheng turned on the bathroom light and said to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, take a shower before going to bed.”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Okay.” When he went into the bathroom, he took his phone with him, closed the door, and messaged Zhan Weiguang: “When will we change rooms?”
Zhan Weiguang replied, “Wait until Dad falls asleep.”
Zhan Weiyang was a little surprised, “Won’t it wake him up?”
Zhan Weiguang’s words seemed to reveal impatience, “Can’t you keep your voice down?”
Zhan Weiyang thought he was very unpleasant, so he put the phone aside and took a shower.
