deep blue

"Meng Yinan," the flat and unwavering voice rang after the call was connected. I don't know if it was the reason for the call, but it seemed deeper than usual, "Where are you?"

Probably because the voice was close to his ears, Meng Yinan suddenly felt that the surroundings became quiet.It's not completely silent, there are still the sounds of vehicles driving and the ambient sounds that are isolated from the windows.

The street lamps cast light and shadow one after another, reciprocating, causing the illusion that the vehicle will not stop after driving for a long time.

Fu Yun, who had been talking enthusiastically since getting in the car, politely stopped talking, and Xu Zhirong also remained silent, leaving Meng Yinan a good environment for talking without being disturbed by noise.

But Meng Yinan didn't know why he wanted them to make a moderate voice. The current atmosphere inexplicably made him feel nervous, and he felt guilty of being caught for doing something wrong.

But in fact, he did nothing wrong.

Probably due to the loss of some water from running, his voice was a little hoarse: "Well, I'm in the car..."

Mu Zhanxi didn't speak immediately, but seemed to respond, and asked slowly, "Who's in the car?"

"...Brother Fuyun." Meng Yinan avoided the seriousness and did not explain the cause and effect of the incident.

Sure enough, Mu Zhanxi was silent for a moment and asked him what happened.

Meng Yinan's puppies have obvious characteristics, they will be a little clingy after getting close, and they are very keen to circle around Mu Zhanxi.The specific manifestation is that he obviously doesn't want to disturb Mu Zhanxi, but still wants to do homework together, and even knows that his brother is in class, but still wants to leave a message on his mobile phone.

After school, say that get out of class is over and wait to leave the school. If you delay the class, you will complain that the teacher said a lot, and you will tell Mu Zhanxi in a pleasant tone whether you will go with Fu Yun today. Occasionally, when you pick Mu Zhanxi from school, you will say brother I'm waiting for you under which tree.

He was not stingy about sharing his itinerary, so that he wouldn't go into details, but it was indeed rather trivial, and he seemed to be looking for something to say.Changing the audience would probably be a pain in the ass.

But he just wanted to say a few more words to his brother, and Mu Zhanxi had already seen through him, thinking that the puppy was innocent, so he was used to it, and he would reply in time after seeing what he said, and he would not find it annoying.

Even when he just went to the coffee shop, Meng Yinan took it as something worth sharing, and sent it to Mu Zhanxi during the chat with Fu Yun, saying that he drank hot cocoa and ate the same cake as Fu Yun, green, Small and cute, matcha flavor, very sweet.

Therefore, Meng Yinan would not leave in someone else's car without saying a word, so it was not surprising that Mu Zhanxi would ask him what happened.

However, Meng Yinan hadn't figured out how to hide it yet, so he paused for a moment before vaguely saying, "I'm with Fu Yun."

"I know," Mu Zhanxi probably didn't have the patience to listen to nonsense, but when he sensed Meng Yinan's hesitation, he sighed softly after a few seconds, said softly and let it go, and asked him again, "Where are you now? "

Not angry, but somewhat relieved.

It seems that since the puppy that has been confirmed missing for a while has been found and is safe and sound, then nothing else is important and can be discussed later.

"Well... let me ask," Meng Yinan didn't know the way, and after Xu Zhirong reported the name of the road, he relayed it to Mu Zhanxi, "We are on our way to Fu Yun's house."

Because of hiding something from Mu Zhanxi, Meng Yinan felt very guilty, so he explained: "Fu Yun invited me to be a guest, and he said that his house is not far from our house, so it's on the way, so I went."

Of course, he didn't explain anything. I don't know if Mu Zhanxi could understand the meaning of "reluctantly, I don't want to run around".

On the contrary, when "our family" was said, the voice was a little softer and a little vague. Mu Zhanxi should have heard it, but I don't know if he paid attention to it.

But he may not have noticed it, because Mu Zhanxi said yes in the same tone as before, and then said: "Then you go first, I will be late."

Meng Yinan was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to trouble Mu Zhanxi to make another trip, and refused: "It's okay, brother, I can go back by myself..."

"Meng Yinan." Mu Zhanxi called his name and interrupted him.

Meng Yinan stopped talking and pursed his lips.He felt that if he continued, Mu Zhanxi might really be unhappy.

"Don't run around again this time," Mu Zhanxi said, "I'll pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Yinan felt a little amnesty.

"What did Brother Mu say?" Fu Yun immediately asked him, "He said you didn't?"

Meng Yinan shook his head: "No, he asked me to wait at your house, he will be late."

Fu Yun also breathed a sigh of relief, his heart settled down, and he comforted him: "That's pretty good, I thought he was going to talk about you. But although Brother Mu is cold, sometimes he looks unhappy, but I haven't seen him Really lost my temper."

Meng Yinan hummed.

The car was quiet for two seconds, and the voice of delivery sounded again: "Then you don't plan to tell him what happened just now?"

"Well," Meng Yinan looked at the street scene backwards, his voice was very firm, "don't say."

Fu Yun didn't seem to understand much, and advised him: "You don't have to say it if you don't want to, but I think it's better to tell him. Those people who didn't succeed today might come back later. You can tell Brother Mu." It's nothing, and I won't be angry with you because of this kind of thing, he will definitely help you."

He was very worried. Those terrible fantasies reappeared in his mind again, fearing that they would happen to Meng Yinan: "What if they come to block you at the school gate next time and you can't escape?"

In fact, Fu Yun was right. From the perspective of a bystander, it is not wise to conceal.Meng Yinan is young and doesn't need to have too many ideas. It is better to rely on more reliable people. It is the most appropriate, sensible and safest way to tell his parents and brothers when he encounters troubles.

But Meng Yinan didn't say anything.

Xu Zhirong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly joined the conversation: "I'm sorry, I just listened to your conversation. So Fu Yun you just said about running for your life?"

Fu Yun replied: "We are being targeted."

Xu Zhirong glanced at Meng Yinan from the rearview mirror, probably knowing that it had nothing to do with Fu Yun, but he didn't reveal it: "Why are you following you?"

Meng Yinan waited for a while, but in a few words, he told Fang Qiao that he was tricked out of school and escaped from the disco.But it was rather vague, without details, and he didn't say how he escaped.

"Then it was rumored at school last time that you had a feud with Fang Qiao, and it was also because of this incident?"

Roughly the same.Meng Yinan hummed.

"This classmate is... Meng Yinan, right? I suggest you tell your family," Xu Zhirong was more polite, driving the car steadily, and said in a gentle voice, "I know there may be some reasons why you don't want to tell They, but their parents can definitely do more than you, and they are more thoughtful, which is much better than you facing it alone."

Fu Yun also said along the way: "Yes, yes, it will be fine if something happens."

Compared with Fu Yun, Xu Zhirong can find the main point and calmer in his speech: "Fu Yun is right. You should also have a certain ability to think independently. You can think about it. If you hurt your parents and your brother, is it right? Worried too? Some troubles can be avoided, so don’t let it happen.”

Meng Yinan slowly raised his head, as if he knew he would look, Xu Zhirong smiled at him in the mirror, and explained: "I just heard you talking on the phone, is it your brother? He should be quite concerned about you. "

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the dim light of the street lamps slid across the car window over and over again. Meng Yinan watched the lights fall on his arms, and then left, repeating the cycle.

He knew what he was resisting, and he really didn't want to say it, but it wasn't that he didn't want to ask adults for help, but he had his own reasons.

He lived in an embarrassing environment. He did have a new family, but he did not have a healthy and reasonable family relationship, and his family was not the type to rely on.

He wouldn't tell Meng Du that he was being blocked, and he couldn't find Mu Zhong, who was almost a stranger, and said, uncle, help me.

Because Meng Du doesn't care about him and is unreliable, this Omega's ability is limited to playing on the bed, and the direction of his expertise is far from dealing with punks.And Mu Zhong couldn't talk about it, why worry about an insignificant oil bottle.What's more, these two people are still on the other side of the ocean with reverse jet lag.

As for Mu Zhanxi, just like the last time he got into a fight and was called a parent, the last thing Meng Yinan wanted was to let him know.

Meng Yinan is 16 years old and has lived for many years. He has been abandoned and released. He has encountered many problems without Mu Zhanxi's help, and they are all resolved in the end. He lives well, so he doesn't think he has to do anything. Turn to him for everything.

In other words, Meng Yinan could find a way to deal with Cao, even if there was no way, he didn't think it mattered, who hasn't fought yet?

But he didn't know what would happen if Mu Zhanxi was involved.

Let brother guard him every day?Or help him fight together?Waiting for the next revenge from the idiots?Anyone would be annoyed by this kind of thing, including Mu Zhanxi.

In the end, there is only one result, that is, Mu Zhanxi found out that Meng Yinan was not a good boy at all, but a troublemaker who would only get sick, fight, and cause trouble. He needed to be taken care of, considered, and helped. any good thing.

Who would like to be with such a person?

Meng Yinan asked himself, and quickly came up with the answer: no one.

No one would like to be with such a person.

Rather than let Mu Zhanxi find out how bad he is and keep a distance, it would be better to fight.

How amazing can someone surnamed Cao be?

Meng Yinan was not afraid of him.

It's just that Meng Yinan didn't want to say anything, so he said after a while: "Well, I see."

Then he said to Fu Yun: "Then don't tell others, I will find a chance to tell my brother when I get home."

Fu Yun thought he had figured it out, and was very happy, and promised that unless Meng Yinan agreed, he would never tell anyone, and fiercely yelled at Xu Zhirong, saying: "You are not allowed to tell others!"

Xu Zhirong was a little dumbfounded: "I don't even know them, who should I tell?"

The car arrived near Fu Yun's house, and before getting off the car, Fu Yun gave Meng Yinan a suggestion and said in unison: "If you really don't want to say it, you don't have to tell him today. Just say that I dragged you to my house to play, Then your mobile phone was also taken away by me, and I returned it to you after getting in the car."

Xu Zhirong also told Meng Yinan his contact information, saying that he was in the studio most of the time, and he could come to him if necessary.

With a warm heart, Meng Yinan thanked them.

After Xu Zhirong delivered them, he drove away.

Fu Yun took Meng Yinan to his home, said hello to Fu Yun's parents, and happily took him to the study to show Meng Yinan many of the paintings he had drawn.

Fu Yun has not been learning to draw for a long time, but he draws well. He has many practice sketches and draws various landscapes and figures. The most popular one is portraits and the Samoyed puppy Tang Duoduo who often appears in the circle of friends.

Although Tang Duoduo in his works is young and far from being lifelike, there are also many cute gestures, allowing the two of them to be healed quickly by watching the cute puppies, put aside bad things, and fade away from being hurt. People chase fears and worries.

After about half an hour, the delivery doorbell rang.

The two packed up the scattered drawings and were about to go out to have a look, but the door of the study was pushed open first.

The Alpha who entered the door was tall, wearing a black coat, with a chill that hadn't dissipated on his body.For some reason, when Meng Yinan saw him, he felt a little familiar.

He walked up to Fu Yun with a few steps, his face was not very friendly, he looked down at him, and said slowly: "Fu Xiaoyun, when did you get home?"

Fu Yun immediately showed a flattering smile: "Well, not, not long ago, just... half an hour ago?"

That Alpha also smiled, but he didn't look very happy: "You still run pretty fast, don't you?"

He took out his mobile phone, looked at the screen, and went straight to Fuyun: "Look carefully, someone said that someone is watching you, let me come out to save you quickly. I didn't have class and ran out, but you What about people?"

"If I hadn't turned around and ran into Mu Zhanxi, I don't know when I would find it today. You'd better not say hello when you come back?"

Fu Yun said embarrassedly: "I forgot..."

"You can really do it," Alpha was obviously very angry, and said coolly, "Can you read the phone? How many calls I made and you didn't answer a single one, I thought you were kidnapped and ripped off - Fu Xiaoyun, Is it fun?"

The delivery is submissive, obviously already overwhelmed.

Alpha, who had lost his temper, didn't notice that there was someone else in the room until then, and looked at Meng Yinan: "You are?"

Fu Yun hurriedly said: "I am at the same table, Brother Mu's younger brother."

Pointing to Alpha again: "My neighbor, Tang Lingyi. Tang Duoduo's dear father."

Tang Lingyi gave him a cold look.

Fu Yun quickly shut up.

"Mu Zhanxi's younger brother, classmate Xiao Mu?" Tang Lingyi calmed down and said to Meng Yinan, "Your brother came with me and is waiting for you downstairs."

It wasn't until he left Fu Yun's house and got on the elevator that Meng Yinan realized why Tang Lingyi looked familiar. The man was almost like the portrait in Fu Yun's painting album.If Fu Yun painted puppies well, then his characters are even more powerful, they are so vivid.

But soon Meng Yinan didn't have the heart to think about these things.

He pushed open the door of the unit building, and soon saw a familiar figure.

In a strange neighborhood, in a quiet night, the moonlight and street lamps intertwine to form a warm light, pouring on the dark red stone brick floor.

Mu Zhanxi was standing in this warm color, and turned around when he heard the movement at the door.

They were separated by a few meters. Due to the light and shadow, Meng Yinan couldn't see Mu Zhanxi's expression clearly, so he couldn't tell whether it was happiness, anger, impatience, or other emotions.

For some unknown reason, Meng Yinan suddenly seemed to be nailed in place, looking at Mu Zhanxi, unable to take a step forward.

After a short time, Mu Zhanxi finally called his name and told him, Meng Yinan, come here.
