When they left the hospital, Pei Qing realised that neither Zhan Weiyang nor Chen Youyou had eaten lunch yet, so he had to take them to the fast food restaurant opposite the hospital for lunch.
It was past lunch time, there were not many people in the fast food restaurant, and the food was served very quickly.
Zhan Weiyang and Chen Youyou each ordered a set meal. Pei Qing had already eaten lunch and did not order. So he just sat and watched them eat.
Chen Youyou was busy being scared just now, but now that his mood stabilised, he felt hungry. When the food was served, he was the first to take a spoon and scoop two large spoonfuls of rice mixed with soup into his mouth. As he chewed with a bulging mouth, he raised his head and he glanced at Zhan Weiyang across him.
He saw that Zhan Weiyang was still nonchalantly mixing the marinade of his braised pork rice with the rice. He didn’t rush to eat after mixing, but raised his head and looked at Pei Qing sitting next to him, “Qing ge, you are not going to eat?”
Pei Qing’s seat was by the window, and the sunlight penetrated the floor-to-ceiling glass and shone lazily on him. He leaned on the back of the chair and said to Zhan Weiyang, “I’ve eaten, you can eat.”
Zhan Weiyang scooped up a spoonful of rice with a small piece of braised pork on it and put it into his mouth. He chewed it and swallowed it leisurely, and then looked at Pei Qing.
Pei Qing asked him, “Is it delicious?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded and said, “You can try it.”
Pei Qing said, “I don’t need to.”
Zhan Weiyang persisted and said, “Just have a taste.” He scooped out a spoonful of rice and carefully added two pieces of meat on top.
When Pei Qing saw Zhan Weiyang handing the spoon to his mouth, he suddenly couldn’t bear to refuse. He opened his mouth and let Zhan Weiyang feed the food into his mouth.
Zhan Weiyang suddenly became happy and asked Pei Qing, “Is it delicious?”
Actually, there wasn’t anything particularly tasty; it was just the flavor of the braised meat buns sold outside. However, Pei Qing still nodded in agreement.
Zhan Weiyang handed the coke that came with the set meal to Pei Qing and said, “Here you drink it.” After that, he handed him the paper towel on his plate, as if he wanted to wipe Pei Qing’s mouth in person.
Chen Youyou frowned as he looked at it. As soon as he frowned, the wound hurt. He quickly relaxed his brows, lowered his head and continued to eat, thinking that Zhan Weiyang was really weird.
After dinner, Pei Qing drove Chen Youyou home first.
Zhan Weiyang was sitting in the passenger seat, and Chen Youyou was sitting alone in the back seat. He couldn’t help but poke his head out from the middle of the front seat and look forward.
Pei Qing stopped the car and waited for the red light when he suddenly asked, “How did Youyou get injured?”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t say anything, but Chen Youyou took the initiative and said, “I-I was hit by X-xie Ling’s bicycle.” Perhaps because Pei Qing was not of the same age, he didn’t object to exposing his stuttering problem in front of Pei Qing.
Pei Qing said, “Why aren’t you going home after school? What could you be doing outside that would get you hit by a bike?”
This time Chen Youyou didn’t speak but looked at Zhan Weiyang.
Zhan Weiyang suddenly became nervous. He secretly raised his hand and hit Chen Youyou’s arm from behind.
Pei Qing saw it all but said nothing. When the red light passed and the green light turned on, he started the car and continued moving forward.
After a while, Pei Qing said, “Since Xie Ling hit Youyou while riding a bicycle, I think it would be better for us to notify Xie Ling’s parents so that if the injury changes in the future, we can find someone to take responsibility.”
Zhan Weiyang blurted out, “No!”
Pei Qing looked at him, “Why not?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Because it’s all my fault and it has nothing to do with Xie Ling.”
Pei Qing’s tone was calm, “Are you very protective of Xie Ling, is he a good friend? Is it better than your relationship with Youyou?”
When Chen Youyou heard their conversation, he became unhappy and said in a complaining tone, “He’s just reluctant to blame Xie Ling!”
Pei Qing smiled and asked, “Why?”
Zhan Weiyang turned around and wanted to stop Chen Youyou from continuing, but Chen Youyou just smiled and said, “Because Xie Ling is tall, and handsome, right?” After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at Zhan Weiyang, and then it hurt. He immediately lowered his face.
Pei Qing listened quietly, and when the car passed the next intersection, he asked without warning, “How are Xie Ling’s grades?”
Chen Youyou replied without thinking, “Very good!”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t know what Pei Qing meant by asking this question.
Pei Qing just nodded, and then said, “Good-looking, tall, and has good grades.”
Zhan Weiyang looked confused.
Pei Qing drove Chen Youyou home. When Chen Youyou arrived, only his mother was at home. Pei Qing took Zhan Weiyang up to admit his mistake to Chen Youyou’s mother. Without mentioning Xie Ling, he said that when they were fighting he was not careful that he hit Chen Youyou.
Mother Chen said it was nothing, and invited Zhan Weiyang and Pei Qing to eat fruit, and then scolded Chen Youyou.
Chen Youyou felt that he was hurt and was being scolded without being comforted. He suddenly felt aggrieved and squatted in the corner without saying a word.
Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang both looked towards Chen Youyou.
Mother Chen said she didn’t need to worry about him, and praised Zhan Weiyang for his cleverness and Pei Qing for his good looks and steady personality.
Before leaving, Zhan Weiyang walked to Chen Youyou and knelt down. He said again, “I’m sorry.”
Chen Youyou waved his hand at him, indicating that he didn’t care.
Zhan Weiyang leaned forward and gently pressed his forehead to Chen Youyou’s forehead.
Chen Youyou quickly hid back, raised his hand to cover his forehead and said, “What are you doing?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I’ll share half of it away for you, so you won’t be in as much pain.” When he was sick as a child, Zhan Pengcheng would coax him like this.
Chen Youyou said, “No, don’t. I’m afraid of becoming stupid like you.”
“Chen Youyou!” Mother Chen shouted angrily, “Why are you so rude?”
Zhan Weiyang was not angry. He just stood up slowly, looked at Chen Youyou melancholy for the last time, and said, “Then I’m leaving.”
Chen Youyou said, “Just go quickly.”
Mother Chen sent Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang to the door. She felt a little sorry for what Chen Youyou said just now, and said to Pei Qing, “They are used to playing together, and they don’t speak nicely to each other.”
Pei Qing smiled and said, “If there were a sense of proportion, Youyou would not be injured.”
Hearing this, Mother Chen looked at Pei Qing and said, “Are you Yangyang’s older cousin? How old are you?”
Pei Qing replied, “Twenty-one.”
Mother Chen nodded, “You look very young to me. Are you in college?”
Pei Qing responded, “Yes, I am a senior.”
Mother Chen asked curiously, “Which school is it?”
Pei Qing mentioned the name of a famous local school.
Chen’s mother quickly said, “You are so outstanding! Come here to play often when you have time. Youyou is a sophomore in high school this year and his grades are not bad.” She lowered her voice when she said this, fearing that Chen Youyou would hear it, “But he’s mischievous and lacks discipline. He doesn’t listen to me when I speak. If you have the time, could you share your experience of studying well in college with him? Help me persuade him to prepare well for the college entrance exam and strive to get into a school as good as yours.”
Pei Qing smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll try my best.”
After saying goodbye to Mother Chen, the two walked into the elevator. Zhan Weiyang suddenly said to Pei Qing, “You should also talk to me.”
Pei Qing asked, “What to say?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “What Auntie just said about what to say to Chen Youyou.”
Pei Qing thought for a while and said, “Then tell me about that tall, good-looking person with good grades?”
Zhan Weiyang looked confused, “Who?”
Pei Qing looked at him for a while, then looked away, “Forget it.”
Zhan Weiyang thought for a long time, and when the elevator dinged and reached the first floor, he suddenly realised, “You?”
