In the evening, Zhan Pengcheng sat in the room and waited. When he heard the familiar footsteps in the corridor outside the door, he immediately stood up and walked over to open the door.
Zhan Weiyang was holding his clothes and preparing to go to the bathroom. When he heard the door open, he stopped in a daze and looked in the direction of Zhan Pengcheng, saying, “Dad?”
Zhan Pengcheng smiled and asked him in a gentle tone, “You haven’t taken a shower yet?”
Zhan Weiyang nodded, “En.”
Zhan Pengcheng said, “Then go quickly.”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Hm.” Then he walked into the bathroom and closed the door from the inside.
Zhan Pengcheng sighed. He stepped back, closed the door, sat down by the bed in a slightly uneasy mood, and continued to wait.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening outside and hurried over to open it. Seeing Zhan Weiyang coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he called him “Yangyang.”
Zhan Weiyang turned to look at him, “Dad.”
Zhan Pengcheng said, “Yangyang, why don’t you come and sleep with Dad? Don’t cause trouble for your older cousin.”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Weiyang glanced at the closed door of Pei Qing’s room and then looked at Zhan Pengcheng. After struggling for a long time, he said, “I don’t want to sleep with Dad.”
At that moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in Zhan Pengcheng’s ears, and he couldn’t help but panic, “Why? Yangyang doesn’t love Dad anymore?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “I’m seventeen years old, and I can’t sleep with Dad. Others will laugh at me.”
Zhan Pengcheng pretended to be angry and said, “Who dares to laugh at you? Dad will deal with him!”
Zhan Weiyang pointed to his room, “Zhan Xiusong.”
Zhan Pengcheng frowned lightly, then smiled at Zhan Weiyang and said, “Your brother doesn’t know any better; don’t take what he says to heart.”
Zhan Weiyang took a half step back and said, “I won’t sleep with Dad.”
Zhan Pengcheng felt a little hurt, but he couldn’t argue with the child, so he could only say, “Okay, you must be good when you go to Qing ge’s place to sleep at night and don’t cause trouble for your brother.”
Zhan Weiyang nodded, turned around, and was about to leave, but after walking two steps, he thought of something, turned back, and said to Zhan Pengcheng, “Dad, go to bed soon.”
Zhan Pengcheng replied helplessly, “Okay, okay, Dad is going to bed.” After saying that, he raised his hand and gently closed the door.
When Zhan Weiyang entered Pei Qing’s room, he saw Pei Qing sitting on the bay window. He habitually probed to look first before burrowing his whole self in through the narrowly opened doorway and gently closing the door.
He saw Pei Qing staring out the window without looking at him, so he walked over and raised his hand to wave in front of Pei Qing’s eyes.
Pei Qing then looked at him.
Zhan Weiyang called carefully, “Qing ge?”
Pei Qing suddenly opened his arms and hugged Zhan Weiyang. Because he was sitting, he was shorter than Zhan Weiyang, who was standing, so his arms just hugged Zhan Weiyang’s waist, and his face was pressed against Zhan Weiyang’s chest.
Zhan Weiyang was completely stunned. He didn’t dare to move. He called out in a low voice again uncertainly, “Qing ge?”
Pei Qing, with a deep voice, said, “Let gege hold you for a while.”
Zhan Weiyang hurriedly said, “Okay.” As long as gege is willing, he can hold me as long as he want!
He didn’t know what was wrong with Pei Qing; he felt a bit flustered and helpless, unable to understand Pei Qing’s sudden emotion. He only felt his own heartbeat starting to quicken, gradually beating faster.
They were both wearing slightly thin pyjamas. When their bodies were pressed together, they could quickly feel each other’s body heat. There was the same scent of shower gel, and there were slightly different scents belonging to the handsome young man and the clean teenager, which just intersected and merged together.
Zhan Weiyang’s heartbeat was getting faster and faster. He felt as if his whole body was shaking with anxiety. He had just finished taking a shower, but his body was heating up unconsciously. He was even sweating a little at the waistline where Pei Qing had put his arm around him.
He lowered his head and saw the top of Pei Qing’s head. He raised his hand and touched Pei Qing’s hair, then slid it down to Pei Qing’s face. He actually noticed the anxiety in Pei Qing’s mood, so he wanted to comfort him. He put his fingers on Pei Qing’s face and asked him, “What’s wrong?” But when he opened his mouth, he felt that his voice was a little hoarse.
Pei Qing did not answer but quietly hugged Zhan Weiyang for a long time before letting go of his hand and sitting up straight. He looked up at Zhan Weiyang and said to him, “Nothing, I just want to hug you.”
Zhan Weiyang looked at him.
Pei Qing smiled, raised his hand, gently tidied up Zhan Weiyang’s wrinkled collar, and said, “Yangyang is seventeen years old.”
Zhan Weiyang nodded.
Pei Qing stood up from the window and said, “Alright, let’s go to bed.”
Until he turned off the lights and lay on the bed, Zhan Weiyang kept recalling the scene when Pei Qing hugged him just now. At that time, his heart was beating violently. He felt uneasy, but he couldn’t help feeling happy. He wanted Pei Qing to keep hugging him like that.
He propped up his upper body and approached Pei Qing, trying hard to see his eyes in the dark.
Pei Qing was not asleep. He didn’t even feel sleepy at all. He just put his hands under his head and thought with his eyes open. So, the moment Zhan Weiyang got close, he noticed it. He said to Zhan Weiyang, “I’m breathing.”
That night, Zhan Weiyang said that his father would secretly listen to his breathing. Perhaps it was because Zhan Pengcheng lived in fear for a long time after Zhan Weiyang drowned that he would secretly listen to his son’s breathing at night. Thinking of this, Pei Qing was even more convoluted.
Zhan Weiyang stretched out a hand and carefully put it close to Pei Qing’s nose.
Pei Qing grabbed his hand and held his fingers to prevent him from moving.
Zhan Weiyang said, “Qing ge.”
Pei Qing said, “Hmm.”
Zhan Weiyang could not hide his excitement, and could not help but smiled and called out again, “Qing ge.”
Pei Qing still said, “Hmm,” gently.
Zhan Weiyang suddenly felt strange and asked, “If I keep calling you, will you keep answering me?”
Pei Qing said, “Yes.”
Zhan Weiyang was touched and said, “Why are you so nice? I like you so much.”
Pei Qing did not speak but smiled silently in the dark.
Zhan Weiyang asked again, “Then can you hug me?”
Pei Qing still maintained his smile, but it was not heard in her tone. It was just as if he was a little lazy and indifferent; he asked, “How do you want me to hug you?”
Zhan Weiyang said, “Just like you did just now.”
Pei Qing did not answer.
Zhan Weiyang pushed his arm with his hand, “Is it okay?”
Pei Qing seemed to be thinking, and after a moment, he said, “How about this, if you beg me, maybe I will hug you.”
Zhan Weiyang didn’t even think about it, and he said softly, “Please, hug me.”
Pei Qing finally stretched out an arm to him, “Come.”
Zhan Weiyang immediately threw himself into his arms and put his face on his chest. After a while, he said, “No, you have to press against my chest.”
Pei Qing asked him, “Where is your chest?”
Zhan Weiyang fumbled to find one of Pei Qing’s hands, grabbed his hand and put it on his chest, saying, “Here.”
With a “Hmm”, Pei Qing pushed Zhan Weiyang onto the bed with his hand, then slowly leaned his head against his chest, his ear positioned just above his heartbeat.
They maintained this posture without moving, and Zhan Weiyang was obviously satisfied.
Pei Qing heard Zhan Weiyang’s heartbeat becoming more intense and hyperactive, and he said, “Yangyang, your heartbeat is so fast.”
Zhan Weiyang licked his lips and said, “Yeah, I noticed it too.” He raised his head and looked down, reached out to hug Pei Qing’s head, and said, “Let’s go to sleep.”
Naturally, Pei Qing didn’t fall asleep with Zhan Weiyang’s chest pressed like this. After a while, he felt that Zhan Weiyang was already half asleep, so he moved away from his chest and went back to his pillow.
Zhan Weiyang subconsciously reached out to find him.
Pei Qing gently held his hand and said, “I’m here. Go to sleep.”
Zhan Weiyang made an ‘En’ sound and fell asleep.
