Zhan Weiyang looked in Pei Qing’s direction and was about to run over when he suddenly heard Xie Ling calling his name again, “Zhan Weiyang.”
He stopped and looked at Xie Ling in confusion.
Xie Ling said, “My bicycle—”
“Zhan Weiyang!” At this time, Zhan Weiyang heard Pei Qing calling him again.
Pei Qing put one arm on the edge of the car window, looking outside, and called his name in a tone he had never used before, which sounded a little cold and hard.
Zhan Weiyang was frightened, and he quickly turned around and ran towards Pei Qing.
Chen Youyou saw Zhan Weiyang leaving and hurriedly followed him. He walked behind Zhan Weiyang and saw Zhan Weiyang open the passenger door and sit in. After hesitating, he sat in the back seat himself.
After Zhan Weiyang got in the car, he still looked at Pei Qing with fear and trepidation, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Pei Qing’s tone softened, and he said to Zhan Weiyang, “Fasten your seat belt.”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t come back to his senses, Pei Qing unbuckled his own seat belt, leaned over, and helped Zhan Weiyang fasten his seat belt. He then turned around and said to Chen Youyou, “Youyou, we’ll take you home first.”
Actually, Chen Youyou was also a little stunned, mainly because he saw Zhan Weiyang in a panic and didn’t know what had happened. At this time, he heard Pei Qing talking to him and hurriedly responded, “Oh, okay.”
Pei Qing had driven to Chen Youyou’s house once, but after all, it was not a familiar place. Now that it was already dark, he took out his mobile phone, turned on the navigation, and drove all the way.
No one in the car spoke, and only the emotionless, cold female voice in the mobile phone navigation could be heard from time to time.
After sending Chen Youyou all the way to the gate of the neighbourhood, Pei Qing parked the car on the side of the road.
When Chen Youyou got out of the car, he took off his coat and gave it back to Pei Qing, standing on the side of the road and politely thanked him, “Thank you, older cousin.”
Pei Qing said to him, “Go back quickly, don’t catch a cold.”
Chen Youyou nodded, waved to Zhan Weiyang, and ran into the neighbourhood.
Then Pei Qing picked up his phone and reset the destination in the navigation.
Zhan Weiyang was still somewhat at a loss for words as he looked at him.
Pei Qing set the destination but did not start the car immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Zhan Weiyang and asked, “Is Yangyang hungry?”
Zhan Weiyang shook his head blankly.
Pei Qing asked him again, “Is it still cold?”
Zhan Weiyang continued to shake his head.
Pei Qing seemed to have noticed Zhan Weiyang’s mood, and he reached out and touched Zhan Weiyang’s head.
Zhan Weiyang rubbed his warm palm obediently and asked carefully, “Did I make you angry just now?”
Pei Qing said, “No.”
Zhan Weiyang did not breathe a sigh of relief, and he insisted, “You are angry. Your tone was so fierce when you called my name.”
Pei Qing asked him gently, “Was it fierce?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded with a little grievance.
Pei Qing said, “I’m sorry.”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m not angry with you.”
Pei Qing couldn’t help laughing when he heard it and said to Zhan Weiyang, “Actually, I wasn’t angry with you, I just wanted to shout at you to come back soon.”
Zhan Weiyang looked at him. Pei Qing said, “Did you hear me calling you to get in the car?”
Zhan Weiyang replied, “I heard it.”
Pei Qing nodded, “So I called you to get in the car, and you didn’t come. I was afraid that you would run away with others, and I am anxious.”
Zhan Weiyang said hurriedly, “I won’t run away with others.”
Pei Qing still had a faint smile in his eyes, and he asked, “Really?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded sincerely, “Yes, I will only follow you, don’t be mean to me.”
Pei Qing leaned back in the chair and thought carefully about his tone just now. In fact, he couldn’t say that he was mean. He just wanted to call back Zhan Weiyang’s attention, so his voice was a little loud and his tone seemed hurried. The most important thing was that he called Zhan Weiyang’s full name.
He knew why Zhan Weiyang was confused because even when he had just arrived at the Zhan family, and the two met for the first time, he was very polite and called him ‘Weiyang’ instead of ‘Zhan Weiyang’.
It was just that he didn’t expect Zhan Weiyang to be so nervous.
He then said again, “I’m sorry, I won’t be mean to you anymore, okay?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Okay.”
As Pei Qing drove back, the sky, which had been gloomy all night, began to drizzle again. He turned on the wipers, slowed down and drove home slowly. When passing the brightly lit streets on the way, he asked Zhan Weiyang if he wanted to have a midnight snack.
Zhan Weiyang said, “No, I want to sleep.”
When Pei Qing parked the car as they got home, he found that the car that Zhan Pengcheng usually drove out was already parked in the garage. Zhan Pengcheng had come back early today, which was rare.
Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang entered the house and saw Zhan Pengcheng standing in the living room on the first floor, holding a cup and drinking water. When he saw them coming back, he put down the cup in a hurry and asked, “Did Yangyang get wet in the rain?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “No.”
Pei Qing continued, “I saw that the temperature had dropped, so I drove to pick him up and brought him a coat.”
Zhan Pengcheng said, “Oh,” and said, “Thank you so much, xiao Qing.”
Pei Qing said, “No problem, Uncle.”
Zhan Pengcheng said to Zhan Weiyang, “Then go upstairs and take a shower and go to bed.”
Zhan Weiyang nodded, “Okay.”
After taking a shower, Zhan Weiyang sat on the bed in his room, thinking about what he had said to Chen Youyou in the afternoon and seriously struggling with whether he really had to wait until he was 18 to be able to do anything.
His toes were red from the hot water, and he stepped on the bed, opening and closing them forcefully. He thought for a moment, reached out to pick up his pyjamas, and looked at his thin chest. His skin was still white, and it was slightly red after taking a hot bath. He stood up on the bed and tried to take off his pants, but before he could do so, he heard a knock on the door.
It must be Zhan Pengcheng at this time.
Zhan Weiyang quickly pulled up his pants, sat cross-legged on the bed, and said, “Come in.”
Zhan Pengcheng opened the door and came in, asking, “Yangyang is still awake?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes.”
Usually, Zhan Pengcheng would stand for a while before leaving. Today, he walked to the bed and sat down, asking Zhan Weiyang, “Does Pei Qing gege take good care of you?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes.”
Zhan Pengcheng thought for a while and said, “Then Daddy will treat him to a meal some other day. I am usually busy with work, and I feel that I have troubled him a lot.”
Zhan Weiyang nodded, “Okay.”
Zhan Pengcheng asked him, “Do you get along well with Pei Qing gege?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes.”
Zhan Pengcheng raised his hand, patted his head, and said with relief, “It’s must be because my Yangyang is so well-behaved. Everyone likes you.”
Zhan Weiyang thought for a while and said, “Zhan Weiguang doesn’t like me.”
“How dare he dislike you!” Zhan Pengcheng deliberately pretended to be mad, “Dad will spank him!”
Zhan Weiyang smiled.
Zhan Pengcheng said, “Okay, go to bed, Dad is going to bed too.”
Zhan Weiyang waved to him, “Good night, Dad.”
When Zhan Pengcheng left the room, Zhan Weiyang sat cross-legged on the bed quietly for a few minutes, climbed down from the bed, and walked outside in slippers.
The lights in the corridor were turned off, and the door to the balcony was also closed. The weather was bad today, so the light was very dim, and even the shadows of people could hardly be seen clearly.
Zhan Weiyang originally wanted to find Pei Qing, but when he walked to the corridor and heard the sound of rain outside, he suddenly remembered his flower pot.
So he walked to the balcony, opened the door and stood at the door, seeing the raindrops falling down. The ground of the entire balcony had been soaked for a long time, reflecting the dim light.
His flower pot was placed in the middle, and it seemed to have caught a lot of rainwater because of the rain—he could hear the sound of raindrops falling into it.
Zhan Weiyang thought if he stayed here in the future, he would be exposed to the rain if it rained, and no one would come to hold an umbrella for him. Although he might not be afraid of the rain at that time, he was still very pitiful.
Or he could put the flower pot in Pei Qing’s room. Zhan Weiyang suddenly had this idea. He was excited for a moment but soon thought that Pei Qing would not live in his house forever, and when Pei Qing moved away in the future, he would be left alone as a tree in an empty room.
At that moment, Zhan Weiyang felt very sad.
