After Pei Qing laughed, he kept the bottle of beer and drank it.
Zhan Weiyang held the bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other and concentrated on eating.
Qin Yishan occasionally asked Zhan Weiyang two questions. After Zhan Weiyang answered diligently, she spent most of the time chatting with Pei Qing.
Zhan Weiyang heard Qin Yishan ask Pei Qing, “Do you have a girlfriend?”
Pei Qing said, “No.”
Qin Yishan asked: “You didn’t date in college? You should be quite popular with girls, right?”
Pei Qing said, “I haven’t met the right one.”
Qin Yishan said with a half-smile, “So, ‘the right one’ is just a metaphysics, something you can use to reject anyone you’re not satisfied with.”
“No,” Pei Qing said, “I haven’t met someone suitable yet. I have high spiritual requirements and pursue some illusory things. If I don’t like it, it’s not suitable. If it’s not suitable, I won’t accept it.”
Qin Yishan folded her arms on the table, leaned her upper body slightly forward, and asked Pei Qing, “Will you exclude me from being suitable if I am older than you?”
Pei Qing stroked the fog on the surface of the beer bottle with her fingers and said, “No, suitableness is not a range, it’s just a feeling.”
Qin Yishan sighed with a somewhat exaggerated sigh, “Then it would be better to make a list of ranges.”
Pei Qing smiled.
Zhan Weiyang felt like he understood what they were talking about, but not entirely. However, he learned that Pei Qing didn’t have a girlfriend. That was quite strange. Zhan Weiyang realised he had never really thought about whether Pei Qing had a girlfriend or not. Subconsciously, he always assumed Pei Qing didn’t have one, just like Zhan Weiguang didn’t have one, and he himself didn’t have one.
He was almost full, put down his chopsticks, stood up politely and said, “I want to go to the bathroom.”
Pei Qing stood up to let him go and asked, “Can you find it?”
Zhan Weiyang looked up and saw the sign for the bathroom, nodded and walked over there.
The restroom in the restaurant was small and shared by men and women. He walked to the door and knocked on the door. After making sure that no one was inside, he reached out, turned the handle and entered, then locked the door.
After he finished peeing and went back, Zhan Weiyang approached the table where they were sitting from behind Qin Yishan and heard her say to Pei Qing, “Your younger cousin doesn’t look like a high school student, more like a child.”
Pei Qing heard this and said, “Yes, how cute.” After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Zhan Weiyang, waving to him, “Yangyang, come back and sit down.”
Zhan Weiyang walked back to his seat and sat down, but he didn’t touch the chopsticks again. He was already full and was waiting for Pei Qing and the beautiful sister to ask him to leave together.
After almost two minutes, Pei Qing noticed that Zhan Weiyang had not moved his chopsticks and asked him, “Are you full?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded, “I’m full.”
Pei Qing said, “Wait for us a little longer.”
Qin Yishan then said, “Since we are all full, let’s go.”
They came out of the restaurant, and Pei Qing said that he would accompany Qin Yishan back.
Qin Yishan refused and said, “It’s my turn to take you back. You two are still students.” She was very determined and took the initiative to take a taxi, making sure to take Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang back first.
Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang sat in the back seat, and Qin Yishan sat alone in the passenger seat. No one spoke much on the way until the taxi stopped at the entrance of Zhan Weiyang’s neighbourhood.
Qin Yishan got out of the car with them and said to Pei Qing, “See you tomorrow.”
Pei Qing nodded, “Be safe on your own.”
Qin Yishan smiled and said, “I’ll call you when I arrive later.”
Pei Qing said, “Okay.”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Take care, Yishan jie.”
Qin Yishan said to Zhan Weiyang, “Okay, goodbye Yangyang.” She waved her hand, turned around, got into the taxi, and asked the driver to drive.
Zhan Weiyang turned to look at Pei Qing and said, “I think this sister is very good.”
Pei Qing laughed and said, “Really?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded.
Pei Qing patted him on the back and said, “Let’s go back.”
The two of them walked towards the neighbourhood. Pei Qing was half a step behind Zhan Weiyang. Looking at his back, he suddenly asked, “You didn’t bring back your schoolbags today? Are you not going to study in the evening?”
School bag?
Zhan Weiyang stopped in confusion. Where is his schoolbag? I’m finished! Zhan Weiyang was so panicked that he almost spun around in circles. He had forgotten about Chen Youyou. His schoolbag was still on the seat opposite Chen Youyou in the restaurant where Xie Ling worked!
His face turned pale, even the dim light at the entrance of the residential area made everything clear. He hastily reached out to grab his phone, only to remember abruptly that he had turned it to silent during class and later absent-mindedly stuffed it into his backpack at the restaurant. It must be lying quietly inside now.
Pei Qing asked, “What’s wrong?”
Zhan Weiyang grabbed Pei Qing’s arm and was so anxious that he almost cried, “I forgot about Youyou.”
“That classmate of yours?” Pei Qing asked.
Zhan Weiyang nodded.
“He didn’t call you?”
“My cell phone is in my schoolbag, and it’s there with him.”
Pei Qing asked, “Do you remember the phone number?”
Zhan Weiyang shook his head.
Pei Qing asked again, “Do you know where he is?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded.
Pei Qing said, “Let’s go find him.”
They took another taxi, and as soon as Zhan Weiyang got in the car, he hurriedly said, “Sir, we are going to Food Joy Fast Food.”
The driver said lazily, “Where is this Food Joy Fast Food?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Jinfeng Road.”
The driver pressed the meter and drove out, “Then give me directions when we get to Jinfeng Road.”
Zhan Weiyang’s heart was so anxious that he clenched his hands into fists and kept banging his left and right hands against each other. He cautiously leaned over and urged the driver, “Can you go a little faster?”
The driver said, “It’ll be quick, little buddy.”
Zhan Weiyang then leaned back on the chair and stared straight ahead.
Pei Qing noticed that the force of their fist bump was strong, and their joints even made a sound upon impact, which must have been painful. Unable to resist, he reached out and pressed his hand on Zhan Weiyang’s hand, saying, “Don’t worry, Chen Youyou is a high school student now, not an elementary school student.” When Pei Qing was in high school, he spent almost half of his time living alone.
Zhan Weiyang stopped his somewhat nervous movements and said, “He’s going to be angry.”
Pei Qing said, “When you said you were looking for a classmate, it was Chen Youyou?”
Zhan Weiyang was stunned for a moment, then lied guiltily, “Yes.”
Pei Qing said, “But when you saw me, you forgot about the appointment with your classmate?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Ah…”
Pei Qing said to him, “Apologize properly later.” Actually, he was more worried that Chen Youyou had gone back, and Zhan Weiyang didn’t remember Chen Youyou’s phone number. Then they would have to make a trip to Chen Youyou’s house to make sure that he had arrived home safely.
At that moment, Pei Qing suddenly thought: I wonder if Zhan Pengcheng has ever been tired of his life?
The car stopped at the entrance of the Food Joy Fast Food restaurant. As Pei Qing paid the driver, Zhan Weiyang hurriedly got out of the car. He first looked into the fast food restaurant and saw that the seat they had just been sitting in was no longer occupied.
In fact, the fast food restaurant was about to close. Although the lights were still on, there were no customers at the table, and only a few waiters were cleaning.
Pei Qing suddenly pulled Zhan Weiyang’s arm and pointed across the street.
Zhan Weiyang turned around and saw Chen Youyou squatting across the street and looking here. There was a schoolbag at his feet, which was Zhan Weiyang’s schoolbag.
“Youyou!” Zhan Weiyang shouted as he ran towards Chen Youyou.
Chen Youyou had a stern expression. When Zhan Weiyang ran up to him, he stood up, grabbed his schoolbag and threw it on Zhan Weiyang. Unable to restrain his anger, he asked, “You… Where, have you, been?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t know how to explain, he said, “I’m sorry.”
Chen Youyou said, “I called, ten, or dozen times. But you, didn’t answer!”
Zhan Weiyang hugged his schoolbag, lowered his head and said sadly, “My mobile phone is in my schoolbag.”
Chen Youyou shouted, “I’m, going to explode!”
A couple nearby were cuddling together and passed by them. Suddenly, they heard a roar, and they were so frightened that they walked around in a semicircle and away from them.
Zhan Weiyang held his schoolbag in his right hand and pulled Chen Youyou’s sleeve with his left hand, pleading, “Don’t explode.”
Chen Youyou was so angry that he couldn’t breathe properly, and his thin chest heaved hard.
Pei Qing stayed across the street without passing by, watching them from a distance, waiting for them to speak between themselves.
The nearby fast food restaurant turned off the lights, and Xie Ling walked out of it. When passing by Pei Qing, he stopped, glanced across the street, and then walked across the street.
Xie Ling stopped in front of Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang and said to Chen Youyou in a cold tone, “Crazy, don’t follow me.” After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for their reaction.
Chen Youyou and Zhan Weiyang were both stunned. After a while, Chen Youyou shouted, “Just. Go. Die!”
Notes:
Lmaooo, I actually was wondering where Youyou is or will he just magically disappear and everything fades to tomorrow
Apparently he really got left behind, lololol
