After lunch, Zhan Pengcheng stood at the door of the second-floor balcony and watched Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang plant trees together.
Both of them were very serious. Pei Qing even searched online for information on what to pay attention to when transplanting.
Zhan Pengcheng felt sleepy after watching for a while, so he went back to his room and lay down to take a nap.
When Zhan Weiyang bought a flower pot before, he chose a big flower pot that he could squat in. Now, when buying a tree, he chose a small tree. The two filled a whole flower pot with soil to plant the fortune tree, which looked even more compact in the big flower pot.
Pei Qing asked him, “Why buy such a small one?” They could just buy a big fortune tree and plant it in this flower pot.
Zhan Weiyang did not answer but asked, “Will it grow up?”
Pei Qing said, “Of course it will grow up; it will grow up with Yangyang.”
Zhan Weiyang nodded, “I’m afraid it will grow too big, and the flower pot will not fit.”
Pei Qing reached out and patted his shoulder, “Now it won’t be too big to fit.”
Zhan Weiyang agreed, “Yeah.”
The fortune tree was moved to the best position on the balcony, which was the position Zhan Weiyang had chosen for himself before, where he could get the morning sun and see the fountain in the neighbourhood.
When the wind blew, the bright green leaves of the fortune tree trembled slightly, but they clung tightly to the thriving and round trunk, growing vigorously like another life of Zhan Weiyang.
Surrounding the fortune tree were other potted plants, and there were a few pots of brightly coloured flowers that Zhan Pengcheng had just bought from the flower market today.
No one would be lonely here.
Zhan Weiyang sat on the guardrail at the edge of the balcony facing inward.
Pei Qing stood in front of him, held his hand and said to him, “Yangyang, I will go back to school in two days.”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything, but the smile on his face became a little fainter.
Pei Qing didn’t say anything either; just looked at him.
After a while, Zhan Weiyang said, “You have to go back to school and graduate.”
Pei Qing smiled and nodded, “Yes, Yangyang is very sensible.”
Zhan Weiyang held Pei Qing’s hand tightly and said, “Wait for me, okay?”
“Hmm?” Pei Qing was a little unsure of what he meant.
Zhan Weiyang said a little anxiously, “I will take the college entrance examination next year. Can I come to see you?”
Pei Qing asked him, “Which university do you want to apply to?” There were many schools in the city where he studied and lived.
Zhan Weiyang had no idea at all, and he said uncertainly, “C University?”
Pei Qing smiled when he heard this. Zhan Weiyang would definitely not be able to get into C University with his current grades. However, he still encouraged him, “Okay, then you should aim for C University and work hard to get in, okay?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Okay! Then you must wait for me!”
Pei Qing smiled and lowered his head. After a while, he gently rested his forehead on Zhan Weiyang’s soft belly.
Zhan Weiyang lowered his eyes to look at him and asked a little worriedly, “What’s wrong?” He raised his hand to hug Pei Qing’s head, touched his hair anxiously, and asked, “Do you have no confidence in me?”
Pei Qing hugged his waist and said, “No, I just want to hug you.”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Well, everything will get better and better.”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t know whether this sentence was said to comfort Pei Qing or to comfort himself.
On the day Pei Qing left, he did not chase the car in his pyjamas in a daze. Instead, he woke up early with an alarm clock, followed Zhan Pengcheng and the others to the door of his house, and watched Pei Qing get in the car.
Zhan Pengcheng drove, and Pei Qing said to Zhan Weiyang through the lowered car window, “Go back and have breakfast.”
Zhan Weiyang still had to go to class today.
Zhan Weiyang was actually still sad. He waved at Pei Qing, trying not to look so sad.
Life was about growing through experiences, one after another, just like the time he couldn’t catch up to that car or the night he took Zhan Pengcheng to the hospital all by himself. After going through it, he realised it hadn’t been as frightening as he had thought. Pei Qing would not leave and never come back. When he needed him, Pei Qing still returned to his side.
From the day Zhan Weiyang made up his mind to take the C University entrance exam, he began to study hard.
Every day in class, Zhan Weiyang stared at the blackboard and listened to the teacher’s lectures without blinking. However, he could only understand about 50% of the content in one class.
After class, he had no time to chat with Chen Youyou. He concentrated on reading to understand what the teacher taught in class. If he really didn’t understand, he would ask Chen Youyou.
Chen Youyou thought he was strange and asked him, “Are, you crazy?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “No, I just don’t have a good brain, I’m not crazy.”
Chen Youyou asked him, “Why, are you so, serious all of, a sudden?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I want to take the C University entrance exam.”
As soon as he finished this sentence, the girls at the same table couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at him.
Chen Youyou looked puzzled, “Huh? Seriously?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Yes, seriously.”
Chen Youyou didn’t understand, “Why?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything. He casually drew on the draft book with a pen. After a while, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a good answer: because of love.
Zhan Pengcheng also found that Zhan Weiyang had been studying very hard recently.
He went into Zhan Weiyang’s room at almost ten o’clock in the evening and saw that he was still sitting at the desk studying hard, so he sat down by the bed and said, “Yangyang, Grandma will be back in two days.”
Zhan Weiyang took the time to say ‘En’ to indicate that he heard it.
Zhan Pengcheng sat for a while. Seeing that Zhan Weiyang ignored him, he couldn’t help but say, “Do you want to chat with Dad for a while?”
Zhan Weiyang finally looked at him and said, “Dad, don’t disturb me while I study.”
Zhan Pengcheng asked him, “Then until what time do you want to study?”
Zhan Weiyang looked at the time and replied, “Twelve o’clock.”
Zhan Pengcheng immediately said, “It’s too late. You are still growing, you can only grow taller when you fall asleep, don’t study so late.”
Zhan Weiyang said, “But I can’t understand the class or the book. How can I get into C University?”
“Ah?” Zhan Pengcheng stood up from the bed, “You want to go to the C University? Why do you want to go to the C University?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t answer him.
Zhan Pengcheng thought for a moment and said, “Because Pei Qing is in C University?”
Zhan Weiyang then said ‘En’ softly.
Zhan Pengcheng felt that his son was too dependent on Pei Qing and walked back and forth a few steps by the bed with some anxiety. Then he walked behind Zhan Weiyang and said, “It’s useless for you to apply to C University. Pei Qing will graduate this year, and he won’t be there when you go to study next year.”
Zhan Weiyang looked at Zhan Pengcheng and began to look uneasy.
Zhan Pengcheng put his hands on his shoulders, “Don’t go to C University. If you really want to go to college, go to a local university. You don’t have to live on campus and can go home to sleep every day.”
Zhan Weiyang was very entangled. He said, “What about Qing ge?”
“What do you mean what about Qing ge? Pei Qing is someone else’s child. Do you still want to follow him?”
Zhan Weiyang suddenly became anxious, “I want to follow him all the time.”
Zhan Pengcheng asked him, “What if Pei Qing gets married? Can you still follow him?”
Zhan Weiyang stood up from the chair and said very unhappily, “Qing ge will not get married.”
Zhan Pengcheng said this just to tease him, but when he saw that he was really unhappy, he suddenly felt a little complicated.
Zhan Weiyang then said, “Dad, you are a bit noisy.”
Zhan Pengcheng’s heart skipped a beat. It was the first time he was disliked by his youngest son.
Zhan Weiyang said again, “You’re disturbing my study.”
Zhan Pengcheng held back his sadness and asked him, “Do you want Dad to go out?”
Zhan Weiyang lowered his head and scratched the back of the chair with his fingers without saying anything.
Zhan Pengcheng left Zhan Weiyang’s room, reached out and gently closed the door for him, sighed deeply, and walked towards his room.
