Pei Qing walked into the room and reached out to gently close the door before continuing towards the window.
Zhan Weiyang remained in the position of kneeling by the bed but straightened his back. His red, tearful eyes, along with his head, followed Pei Qing’s movements.
Until Pei Qing walked to the bed and sat down, stretched out a hand to Zhan Weiyang, and said, “Come on, Yangyang, get up.”
Zhan Weiyang raised his hand and placed it on Pei Qing’s palm. Then, he was pulled up from the ground and stood in front of Pei Qing.
“Yangyang—”
Before Pei Qing finished speaking, Zhan Weiyang lifted his legs and sat on Pei Qing’s legs, hugged him tightly, and whispered, “Qing ge.”
Pei Qing was stunned for a moment, then put his hands around his waist and whispered, “What’s wrong?”
Zhan Weiyang’s voice was very aggrieved, and he spoke in a low voice to Pei Qing’s ear, “Are you ignoring me?”
Pei Qing’s palm fell on Zhan Weiyang’s back and patted it gently, “When did I ignore you?”
Zhan Weiyang spoke with a nasal tone, saying, “You are just upset.”
Pei Qing said, “I’m not.”
Zhan Weiyang stopped talking and sat quietly on Pei Qing’s legs, hugging him tightly.
After a while, Pei Qing thought Zhan Weiyang was crying, so he leaned back a little, and stretched out his hand to hold Zhan Weiyang’s jaw, wanting to see his face clearly. However, he only saw that his eyes were still red, and the tears did not really fall.
Zhan Weiyang looked at him for a while. He leaned forward slightly, put his forehead against his forehead, and said, “I don’t know what to do.”
Pei Qing originally wanted to ask him what he couldn’t say and why he wasn’t willing to say it clearly, but in the end, he didn’t want to force him too much, so he just said, “If you don’t know what to do, come to gege. gege will help you.”
Zhan Weiyang said softly, “Really?”
Pei Qing told him, “Really, there is no problem in this world that gege can’t solve for Yangyang, do you believe it?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t say whether he believed it or not, but he couldn’t help the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile, struggling between tears and laughter.
Pei Qing patted his back and said, “Alright, you’re not sad anymore, are you?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded.
When Pei Qing half-lay down on the bed, Zhan Weiyang still turned over and climbed on his legs, stretched out his hands to hug his neck, and leaned in his arms.
Pei Qing put one arm around his back, patted his head with the other hand, and asked, “If Yangyang becomes a tree in the future, will he have to live on the balcony forever?”
Zhan Weiyang seemed to think about it seriously and said, “The balcony can get sunlight.”
Pei Qing said, ‘Hmm’ and then asked, “What if it gets dark? Aren’t you scared to be alone on the balcony?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “There are other trees.”
Pei Qing asked, “Have you become good friends with those trees?”
Zhan Weiyang was asked and thought for a while before answering him, “Not yet.”
Pei Qing continued to ask, “Then can you communicate now?”
Zhan Weiyang grabbed the hem of Pei Qing’s pyjamas with his fingers and whispered, “Not yet.”
Pei Qing said ‘Oh’, as if a little regretful, “I was going to ask you to ask them a question for me.”
Zhan Weiyang looked up at him, “What is it?”
Pei Qing said, “Ask them why they turned Yangyang into a tree?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “It’s not because of them.”
Pei Qing asked, “Then what is it because of?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “It’s my stuff.”
Pei Qing looked down at him, “What’s yours?”
Zhan Weiyang pointed to his head, “The stuff inside my head.”
Pei Qing touched his head, “Yangyang, is there something so powerful in your head that it can turn you into a fortune tree?”
Zhan Weiyang suddenly became confused, “I don’t know.”
Pei Qing said, “You said something is deducting your points. How many points do you have now?”
Zhan Weiyang looked at him alertly.
Pei Qing said, “If you don’t want to tell me, forget it. It doesn’t matter.”
Zhan Weiyang then said in a muffled voice, “38.”
Pei Qing asked him, “What’s the full score?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “100 points.”
Pei Qing said, “My Yangyang is so silly. He only got 38 points out of 100. What should we do?”
Zhan Weiyang also felt very melancholy, “I don’t know.”
Pei Qing asked him, “Is there any way Qing gege help you get some extra points?”
Zhan Weiyang frowned in distress, “I don’t know.”
Pei Qing patted him on the back, “It doesn’t matter. If you don’t know, then you don’t know.”
Zhan Weiyang suddenly sat up with his hands on Pei Qing’s shoulders. He looked straight at Pei Qing. After looking at him for a long time, he leaned over and kissed Pei Qing lightly on the lips. It was so light that Pei Qing didn’t even feel the weight of his lips pressing on his.
Then Zhan Weiyang’s ears turned red, and he shrank his neck and said, “I’m sorry.” His upper body leaned forward, his pyjamas fell down, and his protruding collarbone and thin chest were clearly visible in the wide neckline.
Pei Qing lowered his gaze and asked him, “Why do you say sorry?”
Zhan Weiyang was still embarrassed, and his ears were red all the way to his neck as he said, “I shouldn’t kiss you.”
Pei Qing asked, “Why shouldn’t you kiss me?”
Zhan Weiyang stared at Pei Qing’s collar, avoiding eye contact, “In the TV dramas I’ve seen, it’s always the men kissing the women.”
Pei Qing’s hand slipped to his waist, gripping his slender frame. Knowing he shouldn’t say certain things but unable to hold back, he asked, “So you’ve only seen people kissing like that in TV dramas. Do you know of any other ways to kiss?”
Zhan Weiyang shook his head somewhat strangely. His world was too simple. Except for Chen Youyou showing him a video once, there was no other way to see it, and no one would tell him.
Pei Qing asked him, “Do gege want me to teach you?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded, “Okay.” After he said that, he moved closer, trying to touch Pei Qing’s lips again.
But Pei Qing suddenly put his hand between the two of them, laughed self-deprecatingly, and said, “Forget it, I shouldn’t teach you these.”
Zhan Weiyang looked at him in confusion.
Pei Qing’s gaze became a little complicated. He patted his waist and said, “Go down.”
Zhan Weiyang could keenly perceive Pei Qing’s emotional changes, but he couldn’t figure out what caused this change, so he could only ask anxiously, “What’s wrong?” He thought Pei Qing was angry with him.
Pei Qing said, “Nothing, it’s almost time to go to bed.”
Zhan Weiyang asked cautiously, “You won’t teach me anymore?”
Pei Qing smiled and said, “I shouldn’t teach you these.”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t understand, “Why?”
Pei Qing said, “Because I don’t think it’s right for me to do so.”
Zhan Weiyang still didn’t understand.
Pei Qing said, “It’s okay, go to sleep, Yangyang.”
Zhan Weiyang reluctantly got off Pei Qing. He lay down, waited until Pei Qing turned off the light, and then he leaned close to Pei Qing’s ear and said, “I think you can teach me.”
Pei Qing asked, “Why do you want to learn this?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I don’t know, I just want to kiss you.”
Pei Qing opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He had a lot to say to Zhan Weiyang, but he felt a little bit speechless at this time. In the end, he just reached out and patted Zhan Weiyang on the back and said, “Good night.”
Zhan Weiyang was completely disappointed. He retreated and rested his head on his pillow, staring in Pei Qing’s direction unwillingly.
Pei Qing couldn’t sleep. Just now, he suddenly felt that what he had done was not good. It was not good for Zhan Pengcheng, Zhan Weiguang, himself, and, most importantly, for Zhan Weiyang.
How should he define the relationship between him and Zhan Weiyang? Zhan Weiyang was simply dependent on him, and unconsciously wanted to get close. Kissing on the lips might not have necessarily meant anything; Zhan Weiyang’s understanding hadn’t reached that point. Yet he himself couldn’t control his own actions. Given the extent of Zhan Weiyang’s dependence on him, no matter what he did, Zhan Weiyang might have happily accepted it. But what if it had been a Zhan Weiyang who had never drowned in the past?
Pei Qing opened the quilt with some irritability, put on slippers and walked out of the bedroom.
At that time, Zhan Weiyang hadn’t fallen asleep yet. When he heard Pei Qing get out of bed, he instantly wanted to reach out and grab Pei Qing. However, the System, which had already been bothering him this afternoon, couldn’t hold back any longer and coldly started deducting his points again.
The moment he heard that he had been deducted two points, Zhan Weiyang shrank back in fear, covered his head with the quilt, opened his eyes wide, looked up in the dark, and couldn’t help trembling.
The author has something to say:
How many points have been deducted? I should remember correctly…
