Zhan Weiyang finished his shower, returned to his room, and lay flat on the bed. Perhaps because of his excitement, he lay very flat, with his hands beside him and tightly pressed against his thighs.
There was a sound coming from outside the door, Zhan Weiyang guessed that Pei Qing went to take a shower, and he continued to wait patiently. After about twenty minutes, Pei Qing pushed open his door and walked in gently.
Pei Qing, wearing pyjamas, walked to Zhan Weiyang’s bed, squatted down and reached out to touch his hair, “Still not asleep?”
Zhan Weiyang did not answer. He just hurriedly moved to the side, leaving half of the bed for Pei Qing.
Pei Qing smiled at him, “What’s wrong today?”
Zhan Weiyang urged him, “Come up quickly.”
Pei Qing looked at him for a while and finally took off his shoes and went to bed. He covered himself with the same quilt as Zhan Weiyang and said, “Do you want me to coax you to sleep today?” He propped his head with one hand and lay on his side facing Zhan Weiyang.
Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything. After a while, he came over, hugged Pei Qing’s waist and kissed him.
Pei Qing kissed Zhan Weiyang gently at first, but then he began to feel that Zhan Weiyang was rubbing against him, so he reached out, held his waist, and said, “What are you doing?”
Zhan Weiyang looked up at him, a little confused, “Didn’t you drink?”
Pei Qing’s voice was hoarse, “So?”
Zhan Weiyang said innocently, “Isn’t it said that drinking alcohol will cause that?”
Pei Qing looked at him and asked, “You mean doing something reckless after drinking?”
Zhan Weiyang suddenly felt embarrassed and buried his face in Pei Qing’s arms.
Pei Qing laughed and said to him, “Sex after drinking is actually an excuse for irresponsibility.”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t understand and looked up at him.
Pei Qing reached out and rubbed Zhan Weiyang’s hair, “Didn’t we agree to wait until you were eighteen?”
Zhan Weiyang said to him, “But Chen Youyou said we didn’t have to wait until we were eighteen.”
Pei Qing was silent for a moment and asked him, “Why did you tell Chen Youyou everything?”
“I didn’t,” Zhan Weiyang whispered, “I didn’t tell him.”
Pei Qing sighed softly and told Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, do you know why it’s eighteen?”
Zhan Weiyang shook his head.
Pei Qing said to him, “That’s a dividing line when you reach maturity both physically and mentally.” At this point, Pei Qing paused for a moment. He thought Zhan Weiyang might never reach that dividing line of complete maturity, but he continued, “You can date now, but some things are not good for you now, do you know?”
Zhan Weiyang seemed to understand and didn’t seem to understand.
Pei Qing had many thoughts. Of course, it was not just waiting for the right time for Zhan Weiyang to mature physically and mentally, as he said, but more of it was because he couldn’t get over his own hurdle. Just like he refused to kiss Zhan Weiyang before, he often felt an inexplicable sense of guilt when facing Zhan Weiyang. He couldn’t tell it, and he didn’t know whether he was right or wrong.
Today, when he was with Zhan Pengcheng and heard Zhan Pengcheng’s words that he was worried that no one would take care of Zhan Weiyang in the future, he wanted to tell Zhan Pengcheng that he was willing to take care of Zhan Weiyang.
But so what? The care that Zhan Pengcheng wanted might not be the same as his care. He didn’t even know whether what Zhan Weiyang needed was the same as what he needed.
Pei Qing kept telling himself to wait a little longer, even if, as Zhan Weiyang said, there was no difference between seventeen and eighteen. However, the one who really needed this time was not Zhan Weiyang but Pei Qing herself.
He reached out and hugged Zhan Weiyang, saying, “Go to sleep.”
Zhan Weiyang was very disappointed and asked him, “Is it still not possible?”
Pei Qing said, “No, eighteen is the bottom line, not even one day earlier.”
Zhan Weiyang lowered his head and counted how many months he had left before he turned eighteen. After a while, he said, “What if I can’t wait until that day?”
Pei Qing was a little surprised and looked at him, “What are you talking about?”
Zhan Weiyang was not only disappointed but also a little unhappy. He said sullenly, “I may not be able to wait for that day.”
Pei Qing didn’t expect him to say such a thing and asked him, “Why can’t you wait?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer. After a while, he whispered, “I told you.”
Pei Qing pulled his shoulders, made him look at him, and said in a serious tone, “What’s going on?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I said I would become a tree.”
Pei Qing asked him, “When will you become a tree? Will you become a tree at the age of eighteen?” When he asked questions, his tone became more and more serious.
Zhan Weiyang said, “No, I said when the points are deducted.”
Pei Qing said, “But you didn’t tell me what’s deducting your points.”
Zhan Weiyang felt that he was pinching his shoulders very hard, and he struggled a little.
Pei Qing then let him go, slowed down his tone and said to him, “Yangyang, can you tell gege?”
Zhan Weiyang finally shook his head.
He sat quietly for a while and suddenly raised his hand to take off his clothes. Pei Qing quickly held his hand to prevent him from moving.
Zhan Weiyang said anxiously, “I don’t have time.”
Pei Qing saw him trying to struggle, so he simply opened his arms and held him, trapping him in his embrace. He said, “No, you need to explain it to me first. What points deduction? What about turning into a tree?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything. After a while, Pei Qing saw that he had closed his eyes.
“Yangyang?” Pei Qing called him. Zhan Weiyang closed his eyes and didn’t respond.
“Asleep?”
Zhan Weiyang still didn’t respond.
Pei Qing wanted to wake him up and ask him to speak clearly, but seeing that Zhan Weiyang had his eyes closed, he really couldn’t bear it, so he finally helped him lie down and covered him with the quilt.
After doing all this, Pei Qing didn’t get up immediately but waited quietly for a while until he heard Zhan Weiyang’s light and even breathing. Then he slowly got up and got out of bed.
He stood by the bed, reached out to turn off the light, and when he fell into darkness, he still stared at the sleeping figure on the bed.
An unspeakable anxiety gradually surged up.
He realised that Zhan Weiyang’s condition was not right before because it was not convenient to tell Zhan Pengcheng directly, so he specially communicated with Zhan Weiguang. At that time, Zhan Weiguang told him not to worry, and he also thought that Zhan Weiyang’s attention would be diverted over time and he would get better, but now it seemed that this was not the case. He didn’t know whether the things in Zhan Weiyang’s head should be called hallucinations or delusions, but it was obviously abnormal.
Pei Qing left Zhan Weiyang’s room and returned to his own. He sat down by the bed, unable to sleep, pondering what he should do.
He didn’t know whether he should tell Zhan Pengcheng first. After all, Zhan Pengcheng was Zhan Weiyang’s guardian, but he was afraid that Zhan Pengcheng would be repulsed by his interference in these matters.
If he took Zhan Weiyang to see a doctor himself, Zhan Weiyang would probably resist. He still remembered how much Zhan Weiyang didn’t want to go to the hospital.
Pei Qing raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He thought he had to ask Zhan Weiyang first. Even if Zhan Weiyang would resist, he must know what was going on with him.
When lying on the bed, Pei Qing suddenly thought of someone—Chen Youyou.
Since Zhan Weiyang had a good friend who could talk about everything, maybe Chen Youyou would know what kind of mess Zhan Weiyang was thinking about in his little head.
