The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Zhan Pengcheng looked at Pei Qing for a while and asked him, “What?” He felt that he did not understand what Pei Qing meant.
Pei Qing said, “It means that.” After saying that, he thought about it and added, “Actually, Yangyang is still young now, and I understand that Uncle is more nervous about him than other parents, so I think I should let you know first.”
Zhan Pengcheng sensed that something was off, and his hand shook. He accidentally knocked over the empty beer bottle on the table and made a sound.
Zhan Weiguang was startled, thinking that Zhan Pengcheng was going to make a move, and quickly reached out to hold Zhan Pengcheng’s wrist and said, “Dad!”
Zhan Pengcheng was not in the mood to pay attention to Zhan Weiguang, so he pushed Zhan Weiguang’s hand away and looked straight at Pei Qing, “What do you mean?”
This time, before Pei Qing answered, Zhan Weiyang couldn’t help but say first, “Dad, Qing ge and I are dating!”
Even though he had guessed it in his heart, Zhan Pengcheng was still filled with anger at the word ‘dating’. He stood up suddenly and pointed his finger at Pei Qing.
The waiter standing in the distance looked in their direction nervously.
Zhan Weiguang couldn’t help but persuade him, “Dad, sit down first.”
Zhan Pengcheng asked, “What dating? Who are you dating? Do you know how old Yangyang is? And, and Yangyang is a boy. Do you know what you are doing?”
Pei Qing answered him, “Of course I know. Uncle, can you listen to me first?”
“What do I need to listen to?!” Zhan Pengcheng was obviously very angry, “What nonsense are you talking about? What dating? Aren’t you just toying with a child who is ignorant?”
He spoke so loudly that even the guests at the next table were alarmed.
The waiter came over and asked carefully, “Is there anything I can help you with?”
Zhan Pengcheng didn’t want to argue about Zhan Weiyang in front of strangers. He just shouted angrily at the frightened Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, go back now!”
Zhan Weiyang looked at Pei Qing in panic, grabbed Pei Qing’s hand, and said, “I won’t go back.”
Zhan Pengcheng said to Zhan Weiguang, “Take your brother back!”
Zhan Weiguang couldn’t help but said, “Dad, don’t be so emotional.”
Zhan Pengcheng said, “I’m not emotional. If I were, I would hit him to death with a bottle!”
Pei Qing knew that Zhan Pengcheng was angry now and would not listen to anything he said. He wanted to wait until he calmed down before everyone sat down and talked slowly. Besides, this was not a place suitable for quarrels, so he comforted Zhan Weiyang and said, “Go home with your dad first.”
Zhan Weiyang was very sad and said, “Can I not?”
Zhan Pengcheng had left his seat and walked around, stretched out his hand to pull Zhan Weiyang’s arm, “Go with Dad!”
Pei Qing was afraid that Zhan Pengcheng would get angry and hurt Zhan Weiyang. He pulled Zhan Weiyang’s hand away and said to him, “Go back first. I will come to see you soon. Don’t be afraid.”
Zhan Weiyang was pulled up by Zhan Pengcheng.
Zhan Pengcheng pulled him outside and said to Zhan Weiguang, “Let’s go.”
Zhan Weiyang stumbled and kept looking back at Pei Qing.
Zhan Weiguang had no choice but to get up and leave. Before he left, he said to Pei Qing, “Now isn’t the right time.”
Pei Qing replied, “I know, but there is no real right time.”
Maybe in a few years, when Zhan Weiyang was in his twenties, or even almost thirty, Zhan Pengcheng might not be so nervous.
However, that timing was only suitable for Zhan Pengcheng, not him and Zhan Weiyang.
Zhan Weiguang said, “I will persuade my father.”
But until he returned home, Zhan Weiguang did not find a suitable time to persuade Zhan Pengcheng.
Zhan Pengcheng was furious, and almost the entire way, he kept cursing Pei Qing. It wasn’t baseless insults, though; he was saying that Pei Qing had bad intentions, taking advantage of Zhan Weiyang’s naivety and coaxing the young boy into a relationship with him. His reaction was quite similar to Zhan Weiguang’s when he first found out about the situation.
Because Zhan Pengcheng was drunk, Zhan Weiguang was driving on the way back.
Zhan Weiguang listened to his father all the way and couldn’t help but say, “Qing ge is not like this. Have you ever considered that he is serious about Zhan Weiyang?”
Zhan Pengcheng said angrily, “That’s homosexual! That’s not okay! I don’t care whether he is or not. Anyway, my Yangyang is not! He is not allowed to lead Yangyang astray!”
Zhan Weiyang kept his head down and didn’t say a word.
When they returned home, both Grandma and Auntie Luo had already gone back to their rooms to watch TV, leaving the living room empty and quiet.
Zhan Pengcheng grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s hand and said, “Come here; Dad has something to tell you.”
Zhan Weiyang still kept his head down and didn’t say a word.
Zhan Pengcheng said, “Listen, you are still immature, but there are some things that Dad must tell you. Although Pei Qing is your older cousin, he is already an adult man. You cannot allow any adult man or adult woman to do anything intimate with you, understand? It is even more unacceptable if they say they want to date you. They are not little girls in school. They have bad intentions!”
Zhan Weiyang finally raised his head and roared, “I am also already eighteen years old, and I am also an adult man.”
At this time, Zhan Weiguang went to park the car and walked in with the car keys in his hand. He just heard Zhan Weiyang’s words and could not help but pause.
Zhan Pengcheng was stunned by his yelling and said, “Your situation is different.”
Zhan Weiyang was very angry and said to his father, “I’m not an idiot! I know who treats me well and who doesn’t! I can date the person I like! Even if you are my father, you are not allowed to say such a thing!”
Zhan Pengcheng was a little anxious. He grabbed Zhan Weiyang’s wrist and said, “Of course you are not an idiot. You are my father’s little baby. There are many bad people in society. You don’t understand because you have never been in contact with them. Dad will slowly teach you in the future.”
Zhan Weiyang shook off his hand and turned to run upstairs, saying as he ran, “I’m not going to listen! I hate Dad the most!”
Zhan Weiguang couldn’t help but look at Zhan Pengcheng’s face when he heard it. He froze in place and his face seemed to be a little pale.
After a while, Zhan Pengcheng turned around and asked Zhan Weiguang, “What should we do?”
Zhan Weiguang avoided his gaze and walked inside, saying, “How should I know.”
A little later, Zhan Pengcheng felt that Zhan Weiyang had probably calmed down. He carried a box of birthday cake and walked to the door of Zhan Weiyang’s room. He knocked on the door first, then gently opened the door and walked in while singing the birthday song.
Zhan Weiyang was lying firmly on the bed, with his head, face, hands and feet all pressed against the bed without any gap. At this time, he finally raised his head and looked at Zhan Pengcheng.
Zhan Pengcheng thought he had cried, but when he saw that Zhan Weiyang’s face was still clean, he was relieved. He walked to the bedside, picked up the cake in his hand and showed it to Zhan Weiyang, saying, “Yangyang, shall we eat the cake?”
Zhan Weiyang said weakly, “I don’t want to eat it.”
Zhan Pengcheng put the cake aside, sat down on the bedside, reached out to touch his head, and said to him, “Today is your birthday. We have to celebrate it happily. Wait until today is over, and Dad will explain other things to you slowly, okay?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything.
Zhan Pengcheng continued, “People are complicated. I’m not saying Pei Qing is a bad person, but no one is absolutely good or absolutely bad. Dad also likes Pei Qing and thinks he is a good person, but he did something wrong in this matter. Do you understand?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I don’t understand.”
Zhan Pengcheng said, “It’s okay, Dad will tell you, and then you will understand. Do you want to get up and eat the cake now?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “But I don’t want to see Dad.”
Zhan Pengcheng looked at him silently for a while and said, “Then Dad will go out. You didn’t eat much for dinner. If you are hungry later, remember to eat the cake.”
After that, Zhan Pengcheng sighed, got up and left.
