They spent the entire afternoon in Zhan Weiguang’s room.
Zhan Weiguang wanted to play games, but Zhan Weiyang said he wanted to read and didn’t want to play with him, so Pei Qing sat down to play games with Zhan Weiguang.
Zhan Weiyang lay on Zhan Weiguang’s bed with a book spread out in front of him. While reading, he reached out to take the milk tea on the bedside table.
Zhan Weiguang saw it and said, “If you dare to dirty my bed, I will kill you.”
Zhan Weiyang looked at him, silently turned his back to him, and continued drinking the milk tea.
Pei Qing played the game a little carelessly. He received WeChat messages from work from time to time and often had to stop to reply to WeChat.
Zhan Weiguang felt very strange, “Didn’t you just join the company? Why are you so busy?”
Pei Qing replied, “It was originally the company where I interned before. They are all familiar colleagues and familiar working environments. It’s easier to get started.”
After that, his mobile phone rang, so he took the mobile phone out to answer a call.
When Pei Qing came back to Zhan Weiguang’s room, he found Zhan Weiyang lying on the bed and had fallen asleep.
Zhan Weiguang turned down the volume of the game, walked to the bed, pulled open the quilt and put it on his chest, his expression full of complaints.
Pei Qing whispered, “You slept for so long in the morning. Why are you sleeping again?”
Zhan Weiguang said, “He sleeps late every night, so he is used to taking a nap.”
Pei Qing thought for a while and said, “That’s why he’s still just a kid with a mind that’s completely pure and free of worries. He sleeps well every day too.”
Zhan Weiguang looked at him strangely.
Pei Qing said, “What’s wrong?”
Zhan Weiguang glanced at the sleeping Zhan Weiyang again and said to Pei Qing, “Can we go out and talk?”
Pei Qing nodded.
The two left the room and came to the corridor. There was no air conditioning outside. The afternoon sun shone directly through the window, and their body suddenly felt the temperature’s heat.
Zhan Weiguang didn’t get an answer to his question in the morning, so he still wanted to ask Pei Qing, and he also wanted to add Pei Qing’s words just now, he said, “Since you think Zhan Weiyang is like a child, why can you still date him?”
Pei Qing smiled and answered naturally, “Because he is not a child after all.”
Zhan Weiguang said, “I still don’t understand.”
Pei Qing said, “If you don’t understand, don’t think about it. Just know that I am serious about Yangyang.”
Zhan Weiguang looked at him and said nothing.
Pei Qing was silent for a while and said, “If you must ask, it’s that I need to feel needed by others.”
Zhan Weiguang tried to understand Pei Qing’s words and blurted out, “Do you want to raise a son?”
Pei Qing couldn’t help laughing and said, “Don’t let your father hear this.”
“You dare to say that about my father!” Zhan Weiguang said, “Have you ever thought about his reaction when the time comes?”
Pei Qing said, “I have thought about all the consequences. It doesn’t matter. It’s just an experience that you always need to face.”
Zhan Weiguang said, “I’m afraid you can’t make it.”
“You can always make it,” Pei Qing looked out the window, “When you think you can’t make it, just imagine the future and grit your teeth to get through it. Don’t limit yourself to the pain in front of you. Look at your brother, how hard he works to get into a good university.”
Zhan Weiguang said, “Okay, as long as you think you can.”
Pei Qing looked at him, “In fact, I didn’t expect you to be able to accept it. I thought it would be more difficult.”
This time, Zhan Weiguang was silent for a while, and he said earnestly, “I was thinking before, do I have the qualification to oppose Zhan Weiyang’s relationship?”
Pei Qing did not say anything.
Zhan Weiguang said, “I don’t think I am.”
Pei Qing hesitated momentarily and said, “I don’t think we should say whether we have the right to object. It is understandable that you and Uncle are concerned and even interfere with Yangyang’s relationship.” At this point, he paused before continuing, “But I will tell him not to listen.”
Zhan Weiguang cursed.
Pei Qing smiled and said, “Human emotions can be understood by each other. I will sympathise with your thoughts, but sympathy does not mean blind obedience.”
Zhan Weiguang said, “I know.” He lowered his gaze and said softly, “If it weren’t for me, Zhan Weiyang wouldn’t be like this now. I hope he can be happy in the future.”
It was the first time Pei Qing heard Zhan Weiguang say such a thing. He said, “It’s not because of you. You were also a child at that time.”
Zhan Weiguang said, “If I didn’t fight with others—”
“Weiguang,” Pei Qing interrupted him, “There are no ‘ifs.’ If your uncle hadn’t taken you swimming that day, if Yangyang had stayed close to him… None of that matters. What’s done is done, and you have to accept it. Living in guilt and self-blame won’t change anything.”
Zhan Weiguang raised his hand to cover his face and said, “Qing ge, there’s something I’ve never said before. I often think that I am responsible for Zhan Weiyang and should take care of him for his whole life. But if he stays with me for his whole life, neither of us will be happy. So, I’m grateful for your presence.” He paused, and because his hand was covering his face, his expression was hidden, but his voice was choked with emotion when he continued speaking, “I just hope you’re truly sincere with Zhan Weiyang and that he’s truly sincere with you, that you both can be happy together. It’s not that I want to get rid of him; I just don’t want to see him as a burden. I believe he shouldn’t be a burden.”
“Of course he is not a burden, “Pei Qing said, “You can rest assured. I’m sincere, and I am very happy to be with him.”
After Zhan Weiguang finished speaking, Pei Qing noticed that he still hadn’t calmed down from his emotional state. Pei Qing raised his hand and patted Zhan Weiguang’s back, saying, “Why are you acting like a child too?”
Zhan Weiguang said, “These are things I can’t say, to anyone. Do you understand?”
Pei Qing hugged him and comforted him, “I understand.”
At this time, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
Zhan Weiyang poked his head out with messy hair. Just as he was about to speak, he was stunned when he saw Pei Qing hugging Zhan Weiguang.
Zhan Weiguang’s first reaction was to stand up straight, wipe his face with his hand and walk away. He really didn’t want to lose face in front of Zhan Weiyang.
Zhan Weiyang, however, kept staring at the two of them, and after a while, he came over, pulled Pei Qing’s sleeve, and said, “Let’s go down.”
Pei Qing replied, “Okay, let’s go down.”
Zhan Weiyang grabbed Pei Qing’s hand with one hand, held his book with the other, and pulled Pei Qing downstairs together. When he reached the stairs, he turned around again and looked at Zhan Weiguang angrily.
Zhan Weiguang was in no mood to care about these things, so he went straight into the bathroom and turned on the cold water to wash his face.
Zhan Weiyang was still unhappy until he returned to his room. He asked Pei Qing, “Why did you hug Zhan Weiguang?”
Pei Qing said, “I just saw him crying and comforted him.”
Zhan Weiyang sat on the bed and said angrily, “You can’t hug him too!”
Pei Qing squatted in front of him and looked up at him, “I just hugged him a little.”
Zhan Weiyang said, “No!”
Pei Qing nodded, “Okay, I won’t do it again in the future.”
Zhan Weiyang was still unhappy, but he couldn’t help but be curious and asked, “Why did Zhan Weiguang cry again?”
“Again?” Pei Qing was surprised.
Zhan Weiyang nodded, with a tone of disdain, “He cries more and more now.”
Pei Qing said, “Well…”
Zhan Weiyang thought for a moment, looked at Pei Qing, and asked tentatively, “If Zhan Weiguang has no place to live in the future, can he live next door to us?”
At that moment, Pei Qing thought that if Zhan Weiguang knew that Zhan Weiyang cared about him so much, he might be moved to tears again. He smiled and said, “Sure.”
