, Said: "Then Dad is out, you don't have much for dinner, if you are hungry later, remember to eat the cake."
After speaking, Zhan Pengcheng sighed, got up and left.
Chapter 91

Zhan Weiyang lay motionless on the bed, he wasn't asleep either, he just didn't want to move. After a long time, he heard that there was no movement outside. Probably even Zhan Pengcheng had already gone back to his room to sleep, so he raised his head slowly, moved his body and poked his head out of the bed, and glanced at the cake on the ground .
The cake was small, placed in a box, tied with a ribbon on the outside, and tied with a knot on the top.
Zhan Weiyang glanced at the time, it was exactly eleven o'clock in the evening, and there was still an hour left before his eighteenth birthday.
Thinking of the last hour, Zhan Weiyang suddenly became emotional. He got up from the bed, hurriedly changed his clothes and put on his socks, put his keys and mobile phone into his trouser pockets, picked up the cake on the ground, and sneaked out.
He turned off the light in his room, closed the door very lightly, and didn't turn on the light in the corridor, so he touched the wall and went downstairs in fear.
Coming out of the house secretly, Zhan Weiyang carried the cake, walked out of the community, and called a car with his mobile phone.
When he came out of the gate of the community, he saw that the taxi had already parked by the side of the road. He ran over in a hurry, opened the door to get in the car, and told the driver Pei Jin's address.
Pei Qian sent Zhan Weiyang a WeChat message more than an hour ago, asking him if he was okay now, but Zhan Weiyang didn't reply. At that time, Pei Qian was hesitant to call Zhan Weiyang, but he was afraid that Zhan Pengcheng would guard Zhan Weiyang, so he found out the phone number but still didn't dial it.
He was usually asleep at this time, but today he was in a complicated mood. After taking a shower, Pei Que lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep at all for a while.
Zhan Pengcheng's reaction was already better than he expected. He thought it would be some more intense blame, or even beat him, but it didn't work out. Maybe Zhan Pengcheng's scruples are public places after all.
Now that there is a beginning, it will be easier to continue, Pei Qian thought in his heart, he must take another time to visit Zhan's house tomorrow.
Even if Zhan Pengcheng doesn't want to see him, he still wants to meet Zhan Weiyang, so that Zhan Weiyang won't be thinking wildly at home.
With the help of the faint light shining into the room from the window, Pei Que looked at the outline of the room, thinking wildly that he would still buy a house in a few years, it didn't need to be too big, after all he and Zhan Weiyang lived together, but the decoration It must be comfortable.
At this moment, Pei Qian heard a knock on the door.
At first, he thought he had heard it wrong. Looking at the time on his phone, it was already half past eleven.
But the knock on the door sounded again, and he reached out to turn on the lamp on the bedside table, got out of bed and walked outside.
As soon as the door was opened, Zhan Weiyang stood at the door and threw himself into his arms.
Pei Qian hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug Zhan Weiyang, and asked, "Why are you here so late?"
The cake box in Zhan Weiyang's hand was shaking, he hurried in all the way and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to twelve o'clock to eat cake with you."
Pei Qian picked him up, turned half a circle and put him on the ground, saying, "Happy birthday, my baby."
They put the cake on the table.
Pei Qian unpacked, inserted a candle, found a lighter at home, lit the candle first, then turned off the lights in the room, sat down with Zhan Weiyang face to face, and sang a birthday song for Zhan Weiyang.
Zhan Weiyang's eyes reflected the orange-red light of the candles, and kept beating like stars. He kept looking at Pei Jin, and when the whole song was over, he held hands and closed his eyes to make a wish for himself.
He silently thought: Dad, don't be angry, grandma's body will get better soon, Zhan Weiguang can be more sensible, brother Jin will always be with me.
Then he blew out the candle in one breath.
Pei Qian turned on a small spotlight above his head, and gave Zhan Weiyang the knife to cut the cake.
Zhan Weiyang looked very focused, and wanted to cut the cake with a big cherry in the middle for Pei Qian to eat.
Because it was already late at night and the surroundings were very quiet, Pei Qian spoke in a very soft voice and asked him, "Did you sneak out?"
Zhan Weiyang asked strangely: "How do you know?" He carefully cut out the piece of cake with cherries, and made sure to give it to Pei Qian.
Pei Qian took the small plate and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Zhan Weiyang said: "Eat quickly, eat quickly."
Pei Qian thought to himself that it was too late, and it was not convenient to send Zhan Weiyang back now, so he should get up early tomorrow morning and send him there, and find a chance to chat with Zhan Pengcheng by the way.
A whole cake couldn't be eaten by two people, and the rest was put in the refrigerator.
It was past twelve o'clock at that time, Zhan Weiyang was a little melancholy, stood in front of the sofa in the living room, and said, "My eighteenth birthday is over."
Pei Qian walked over, hugged him from behind, and whispered in his ear, "How come? From now to this day next year, you will be eighteen years old."
Zhan Weiyang looked up at him.
Pei Qian kissed his lips, and said, "It tastes like butter."
Zhan Weiyang smiled and said, "You have it too."
While lying on the bed, Zhan Weiyang got into Pei Qian's arms by himself, leaned into his ear, and said softly, "My eighteen-year-old brother is two days old."
Pei Qian couldn't help laughing and said, "And then?"
Zhan Weiyang bumped him with his elbow.
Pei Que looked at him quietly for a while in the dim environment, with a smile on his lips, and then kissed his lips.
Zhan Weiyang thought it was just a sweet kiss, but unexpectedly, Pei Qian's kiss left his lips, slid across his neck, and went all the way down. Zhan Weiyang covered his lips, opened his eyes wide and looked down, panicked and frightened, but he didn't reach out to pull Pei Jin away.
Later Pei Qian hugged him and said, "Have you slept yet?"
Zhan Weiyang was still panting slightly, but felt that something was wrong, and said, "What about you?"
Pei Qian rubbed his face with the tip of his nose, "I'm very happy too, everything about Yangyang is mine."
Zhan Weiyang felt tired at this moment and yawned.
Pei Qian said softly, "Count down to three, two, one, and see who falls asleep first."
Zhan Weiyang became nervous when he heard the countdown, and said, "immediately!" He immediately straightened his body and closed his eyes. When Pei Que counted down to "one", he seemed to be hypnotized, and his consciousness became blurred .
This time Zhan Weiyang slept very deeply, but he didn't sleep for too long, so his younger brother Pei Que woke him up early the next morning.
He opened half of his eyes with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice, "Huh—?"
Pei Que said: "Get up, your father will look for you if you go back late."
Zhan Weiyang raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and asked, "What time is it?"
Pei Qian told him, "It's already eight o'clock." In fact, it was only seven o'clock.
Zhan Weiyang told Pei Qian in a sticky voice: "But I still want to sleep."
Pei Qian said, "Sleep after going back, okay? I have to get up now, or I'll leave first?"
As soon as Zhan Weiyang heard Pei Qun say that he was going to leave, he quickly opened his eyes and said, "I'm getting up."
Pei Qian urged him to wash his face and brush his teeth, then took his hand and went out.
Zhan Weiyang was still yawning while walking, thinking of going home, he said, "My dad is going to lose his temper again."
Pei Qian said: "Your father should lose his temper, don't blame him."
They stood at the elevator door and waited for the elevator to come up from the first floor. After more than ten seconds, the elevator had arrived, and the elevator door opened slowly. Pei Qian saw an unexpected figure appearing in the elevator.
Pei Jingrong was standing in the elevator wearing a suit and tie, and frowned slightly when he saw them.
Chapter 92

Pei Qian obviously did not expect to see Pei Jingrong at this time, he subconsciously called out: "Dad?"
And Pei Jingrong's eyes first fell on the face of Zhan Weiyang beside him, and then looked at the two of them still holding hands.
The elevator door opened and was about to close. Pei Jingrong quickly reached out to push the door open, and walked out. His tall body stood in front of the two of them and asked, "Why is Yangyang here? Where are you going so early in the morning?"
Zhan Weiyang stared at him blankly, not even remembering what to say.
Pei Qian asked, "Why are you here?"
Pei Jingrong looked hesitant and said in a low voice, "I'll come and see you." Seeing that Pei Jin was still looking at him, he added, "I arrived last night and I have a meeting this morning. Came here on purpose."
Some time ago, Zhan Yingfei contacted Pei Jie to ask for his current address, and Pei Jie knew it and told Zhan Yingfei. Zhan Yingfei said at the time that she would come to see Pei Jin next time she was free, but it turned out that Pei Jingrong would come first.
Pei Jingrong asked again: "Where are you going so early?"
Pei Qian said, "I'll send Yang Yang home."
Pei Jingrong looked at their holding hands, "Did Yang Yang sleep here last night?"
Pei Qian replied, "Yes."
Pei Jingrong's personality is much more sensitive than Zhan Pengcheng's, and he has always had some thoughts about Pei Qian, who is very popular with girls but hasn't been in a relationship until he graduated from college, so he has some doubts at this time. Regardless of whether Zhan Weiyang's intelligence is normal or not, after all, he is a handsome boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, and it is inappropriate for Pei Jing to hold hands with him outside like this, in Pei Jingrong's opinion.
He then asked Zhan Weiyang: "Does Yangyang often spend the night here?"
Although Pei Jingrong's tone was gentle, Zhan Weiyang always felt that something was wrong, he didn't answer, but looked to Pei Qian for help.
Pei Qian said to Pei Jingrong: "You can ask me what you want to ask, don't try Yang Yang."
When Pei Jingrong heard his words, his face sank undisguisedly, "What is a temptation? What do you think I am testing?"
Zhan Weiyang clenched Pei Qin's hand with some fear.
Pei Qian said: "Dad, don't be angry, you scared Yang Yang."
Pei Jingrong took a deep breath to suppress his anger.
Pei Qian said: "I'm sending Yang Yang back now, do you want to come with us?"
Pei Jingrong said, "I have a meeting later."
Pei Qian reached out and pressed the elevator, "Then after you finish the meeting, if you are still interested, you can contact me."
The elevator door opened again, and Pei Qian went in holding Zhan Weiyang's hand.
Zhan Weiyang carefully hid behind Pei Jin, peeking at Pei Jingrong over Pei Jin's shoulder.
Pei Jingrong also came into the elevator, and when the elevator went downstairs, he said: "Pei Jin, you are already an adult, you know what's going on with Zhan Weiyang."
At this time, Zhan Weiyang couldn't help but whispered, "I'm an adult too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jingrong looked at him. He felt that Pei Jingrong was very fierce, and he was a little scared but insisted: "I'm not a fool."
Pei Qian suddenly turned his head to look at Zhan Weiyang, he raised his arms to hug Zhan Weiyang, patted him on the back, and said, "Of course you are not."
When the elevator door opened, Pei Jingrong walked outside. He turned around and said to Pei Jin, "I'll come to you in the afternoon."
Pei Qian nodded calmly.
It was quite early when they arrived at Zhan's house. Zhan Pengcheng had just woken up, and he didn't want to wake up Zhan Weiyang. He went downstairs alone and had breakfast, and then arranged flowers and plants on the balcony on the second floor.
When Pei Qian and Zhan Weiyang came back, Zhan Pengcheng saw them from a distance, he was a little dazed at first, but when he realized that that person was really Zhan Weiyang, he couldn't suppress his anger immediately.
When Pei Que rang the doorbell, Aunt Luo came out of the kitchen in a hurry to open the door, but Zhan Pengcheng had already run down from the second floor.
He opened the door and punched Pei Qing in the face.
"Oh!" Aunt Luo, who was following Zhan Pengcheng, screamed in fright, and covered her mouth with her hand.
Zhan Weiyang also pulled Pei Qian away in panic, stood in front of him, and shouted: "Father is crazy!"
Zhan Pengcheng said angrily: "Father is not crazy! It is this bastard who hit him!"
One of Pei Qian's cheeks soon became red and swollen. He opened his mouth, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and at the same time, he spit out a blood-stained tooth.
Zhan Pengcheng's punch was merciless and directly knocked out a tooth of Pei Qian.
"When did you take Yangyang out?" Zhan Pengcheng asked angrily.
Pei Qin opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Zhan Weiyang said loudly: "I ran out secretly! I ran away alone!"
At this time, grandma was startled, she leaned on the wall and came out tremblingly, looked around and asked, "What's the matter?" After asking, she saw the blood on the corner of Pei Que's mouth and the teeth on the ground, and said in panic: " What's the matter, little one?"
Pei Qian comforted her vaguely: "It's okay, grandma."
Zhan Weiyang squatted down, picked up Pei Que's blood-stained tooth with his hands, stood up sadly and looked at Pei Que.
Pei Qian patted his head and said, "It's nothing, don't be afraid."
Zhan Pengcheng's anger finally subsided a little at this time, he also looked at the teeth in Zhan Weiyang's hand, and at Pei Jin's red and swollen face, and said, "Go to the hospital first."
Pei Qian said: "It's okay, it's all gone anyway, don't worry."
Zhan Pengcheng stretched out his hand towards Zhan Weiyang, "Yangyang, come back."
Zhan Weiyang took a step back, stood behind Pei Que, and lowered his eyes not to look at Zhan Pengcheng.
Pei Qian asked Zhan Pengcheng: "Can we talk, uncle?"
Zhan Pengcheng didn't answer. He was looking at Pei Qian, but suddenly he looked over Pei Qian's shoulder and looked into the distance.
Pei Qian and Zhan Weiyang turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw Pei Jingrong in a suit and leather shoes walking towards this side.
No one knew why Pei Jingrong, who was supposed to be in a meeting, suddenly appeared here.
Zhan Weiyang felt even more nervous, and looked up at Pei Qian, who leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Don't be afraid, brother is here."
Zhan Weiguang was woken up early in the morning by the sound from downstairs. He pulled the quilt over his head and didn't want to get up, but when he heard Zhan Weiyang yelling, he couldn't help turning over and getting out of bed. I glanced at the window and saw no one, so I changed my clothes and came down from the third floor.
When he walked to the first floor, he saw people sitting on the sofa in the living room. Besides Zhan Pengcheng and grandma, Pei Qian and Zhan Weiyang were also there, and there was also a tall man. Zhan Weiguang first saw the back and recognized him No one came out, and it wasn't until he walked gently to the side that he realized it was Pei Jingrong.
When did Pei Jingrong come
Zhan Weiguang was startled, and subconsciously looked at Pei Qian and Zhan Weiyang.
The atmosphere in the living room was very solemn, no one spoke, and Zhan Weiguang came down late, so he didn't know what they had said before.
At this moment, Pei Jingrong stood up, walked up to Pei Jin, and asked, "Is what your uncle said just now true?"
Pei Qian looked up at him, "It's true."
Seeing his red and swollen cheek, Pei Jingrong asked, "The wound on the face was caused by your uncle?"
Pei Qing nodded.
Hearing this, Pei Jingrong suddenly raised his fist, slapped Pei Jin's other cheek hard, and said, "That's a good fight!"
Chapter 93

Pei Jingrong's move was so sudden that no one else had time to stop him.
Zhan Weiguang subconsciously took two steps forward.
Zhan Pengcheng already felt that he had hit hard, and he felt a little bit guilty. When he saw Pei Jingrong make a move, he couldn't help but take the initiative. Unfortunately, before he could stand up, Pei Jingrong had already punched Pei Jin in the face.
And grandma let out an even more "Ouch", trying to stand up while holding on to the armrest of the sofa. She shook her body a few times and was too anxious to get up. She said, "What are you doing? Don't hit people! Can't you just talk about it?"
Pei Jingrong pointed at Pei Jin, and said in a cold voice: "You are already a graduate of university, and you don't learn how to engage in those nonsense things, and you brought your cousin with you! Don't you know what happened to Yangyang?" ? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to talk about falling in love? You’re just coaxing children!”
Pei Que's cheeks were the same now, and he looked up at Pei Jingrong without saying a word.
Pei Jingrong grabbed Pei Qun's collar with his hand, "Go, apologize to your uncle, apologize to Yang Yang! You immediately quit your job here and go back with me!"
Pei Qian spoke, his voice was more vague than before, and his accent sounded a little ridiculous, but no one could laugh at this time, he said: "You said that I have graduated and worked, and I can make decisions about my own affairs .”
Pei Jingrong said angrily: "But you are not qualified to make decisions for other people's children! Especially Yang Yang, a child with immature intelligence! Do you believe that your uncle can call the police and arrest you?"
This time, before Pei Que could speak, Zhan Weiyang stood up suddenly and said, "I'm not a fool!" His voice was very loud, and it even sounded a little harsh.
Zhan Pengcheng and Pei Yu yelled at the same time: "Yangyang."
Zhan Weiyang didn't seem to hear it, he was very emotional, and he was still shouting sharply: "I'm not a fool! I'm not a fool! I'm not a fool!" He shouted almost hoarsely, like a frightened little animal , stomping in circles.
At this time, not only Pei Qian and the others, but even Pei Jingrong looked at Zhan Weiyang worriedly, reached out to hold Zhan Weiyang's arm, and said, "Yangyang, calm down, no one says you are a fool."
Zhan Weiyang refused to let him touch him, and asked loudly: "Why can't I fall in love? Is it because idiots can't fall in love or Zhan Weiyang can't fall in love?"
Pei Jingrong was speechless for a while.
Pei Qian stepped forward and hugged Zhan Weiyang, and said softly: "No, of course you can fall in love."
Zhan Weiyang cried, and he said while shedding tears: "Then what should I do? Am I going to be a fool? Am I not good enough?"
Zhan Weiguang looked at them, and suddenly tears welled up, his eyes were red.
Zhan Pengcheng stretched out a hand towards Zhan Weiyang, and put it down again.
Zhan Weiyang cried so much that he could barely breathe. He opened his mouth and panted and said, "I won't swim anymore. I'll go to the doctor to take medicine, okay? I don't want to be a fool, I want to Together with Brother Qing."
At this time, grandma raised her hand and wiped the tears on her face.
Zhan Pengcheng crouched down on the ground, covering his head with his hands.
Pei Qian hugged Zhan Weiyang horizontally, and said to him: "Shall we go back to the room and rest?"
Zhan Weiyang hugged Pei Qian's shoulder, still crying bitterly.
Pei Qian hugged him and walked towards the stairs. Everyone stared blankly, but no one stopped him.
Going up to the second floor, Pei Que carried Zhan Weiyang back to his room, gently put him on the bed, took off his slippers, covered him with a quilt, and adjusted the air conditioner in the room to a suitable temperature.
Zhan Weiyang's face was full of tears, Pei Que lay on the bedside, and pulled a tissue to help him wipe his face.
"Am I a fool?" Zhan Weiyang asked Pei Qian in a hoarse voice.
Pei Qian replied: "Of course not." His movements were very light.
At this time Zhan Pengcheng followed up to the second floor, he stood at the door of Zhan Weiyang's room and did not go in, he only looked in through the gap left by the door.
Zhan Weiyang said: "They all say I'm a fool."
Pei Qian said: "They didn't say anything, and you're not a fool, you just can't communicate with them well."
Zhan Weiyang's tears were still streaming out, but he was not so hoarse, sobbing and talking to Pei Que: "Why can't we communicate?"
Pei Qian changed a clean tissue, wiped away his tears, thought for a while, and said, "Do you know that when a foreigner talks to a Chinese, because they can't communicate well in Chinese, it often makes that foreigner look clumsy?"
Zhan Weiyang looked at him seriously and listened to him, "Really?"
Pei Qian said: "Yes, they are not stupid. When the Chinese communicate with them in foreign languages, they also think that the Chinese sound stupid."
In Zhan Weiyang's wet eyes, there was a constant flickering light, but the tears did not continue to flow down.
Pei Qian smiled, but the wound on his face was pulled when he smiled, and he grinned in pain. He continued: "So you are not a fool, but they don't understand you. In fact, they are also stupid."
Zhan Weiyang said: "But I have a brain problem."
"No," Pei Qian said, "Didn't you drown in the water when you were swimming? But you are a rich tree, why are you afraid of water?"
Zhan Weiyang opened his eyes wide.
Pei Qian said: "Look at the many flowers and trees on the balcony, how much water will go in when it rains, they never get sick from being flooded, how can you?"
Zhan Weiyang felt suddenly enlightened.
Pei Qian tapped Zhan Weiyang's head lightly with his finger, "My Yangyang is born different, it is a rich tree that needs water irrigation, so there must be obstacles in communicating with ordinary people. People don't understand trees, trees I don’t understand people, but this tree has many ideas in its head, and it is the smartest tree in the world.”
Zhan Weiyang asked: "I am?"
Pei Qian smiled and said, "Otherwise, why can't other trees understand me, only you?"
Zhan Weiyang opened his arms and hugged Pei Qian tightly, he said, "I'm so happy!"
Regardless of the pain from the wound on his face, Pei Qin hugged him tightly with his arms and said, "Well, Yang Yang finally figured it out."
Zhan Weiyang said: "Yes."
Pei Qian said to him, "So you are the smartest money tree."
Zhan Weiyang nodded vigorously.
Zhan Pengcheng backed away quietly, stretched out his hand to close the door, he turned around to go downstairs, and saw Zhan Weiguang standing at the stairs looking at him.
The traces of crying on Zhan Weiguang's face were still obvious, and he said to Zhan Pengcheng, "I'm sorry."
Zhan Pengcheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you say I'm sorry?"
Zhan Weiguang said, "It's all because of me."
Zhan Pengcheng understood what he meant, walked towards him and hugged him. At this time, Zhan Pengcheng suddenly realized that his eldest son was already taller than himself.
"Dad," said Zhan Weiguang, "you can give Yang Yang some confidence, he really doesn't understand everything, even if you try it once, how about listening to what he and brother Jin think?"
Zhan Pengcheng nodded wearily, "I see."
He let go of Zhan Weiguang and walked downstairs.
Grandma was still crying in the living room, and Aunt Luo was sitting next to her and was persuading her.
And Pei Jingrong stood at the door, looking out with a serious expression.
Zhan Pengcheng walked over and said to Pei Jingrong: "Yangyang's mood is not very stable, let's talk about this matter later, stay and have lunch together later?"
Pei Jingrong turned around and said to him: "I have temporarily adjusted the time for the morning meeting to the afternoon. I have other arrangements at noon, so don't bother me."
Zhan Pengcheng didn't force him to stay either.
Pei Jingrong was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt Yangyang."
Zhan Pengcheng said: "I know, I might be the one who hurt him in the first place, so don't worry about it."
Pei Jingrong didn't know what to say for a while, so he nodded and walked out the door.
