deep blue

Mu Zhanxi didn't wake up again until after eleven o'clock at noon.

His life has always been regular, and he rarely stays up late. Occasionally, his body will be very unaccustomed to going to bed late, and he will protest more strongly than others. Get worse and can't feel refreshed.

He didn't get up right away, but lay awake for a while, covering his eyes with his arms.

He still looked tired, and seemed to be upset about something, but actually he didn't think about anything, and gradually let go of his consciousness in a quiet environment, until there was some movement from his side, then he moved his arms and turned his head to look.

Meng Yinan slept soundly. This time, she didn't lean against Mu Zhanxi before going to sleep. She wrapped herself in the quilt tightly, and looked very warm.

For some reason, he likes to sleep down a bit, and only rests on half of the pillow, so half of his face is covered by the quilt, and people can only look at the eyebrows that are exposed outside.

Meng Yinan's facial features are not delicate, and his eyes are not slender or sharp. It is difficult to have such things as momentum or aura, and because he is not differentiated, he looks more immature.If he had to describe it, Mu Zhanxi would use words like "gentlemanly", "introverted", "very well-behaved" and "non-aggressive".

This is even more so when she is asleep, the eyelashes are long, and the whole person looks clean and quiet.

But after getting along with each other, you will know that it's an act—not all, but he can show five points in front of Mu Zhanxi with three points of innocence, and only show it in front of Mu Zhanxi.

Mu Zhanxi was afraid that he would be restrained before, and wanted him to be more lively and open-minded, but as he got to know him better, he felt that the ability to "pretend to be good" was also part of his personality. No matter how familiar he was, Meng Yinan might not Will not become too casual in front of him.

So be it, it's fine.

Mu Zhanxi looked at Meng Yinan for a while and thought so.

After about a few minutes, Mu Zhanxi got up as quietly as possible.

After washing up, he walked around the house, saw the cold pot and stove, and the living room didn't look like anyone was active, so he went downstairs and up again, and finally found Mu Ting working with his laptop on in the study on the third floor.

Mu Ting had already changed out of the bright red hoodie that was beaming, and was wearing home clothes from previous years.Because it has not been worn for a long time, there are sharp creases on the clothes, which look brand new, but also appear to be hard in texture, which will not be too comfortable.

Seeing Mu Zhanxi coming in, Mu Ting raised his eyes to look at him, smiled, and said "I'm awake", his hands were still clacking on the keyboard.It was only after Mu Zhanxi walked to the chair and sat down that he finally stopped working.

"Did you sleep well?" Mu Ting seemed to have digested the scene in the morning.

Although it was a misunderstanding, but Mu Zhanxi did not clarify at that time, Mu Ting would still be shocked.It can be back to normal in a few hours, it seems that the psychological endurance is not bad.

"It's okay," Mu Zhanxi replied, and added after a pause, "It would be better if you didn't interrupt in the morning."

Mu Ting showed an embarrassing expression, clicked "Your boy", and said with a slightly funny dissatisfaction: "If I ask you if you are okay, you just say yes, and you are going to blame me? I want to know that it is like that. Can I still go in?"

What he said "like that" and Mu Zhanxi's interrupted sleep were two different things.

"Why did you come here suddenly?" Mu Zhanxi didn't explain anything, and naturally changed the subject, "Work?"

"It's about the same. It's the end of the year. I'll come over there to take a look after I've dealt with it. It's just a few days off. I'll stay wherever I am, so I'll come back early to see you."

"Brother also said that he could stay with you for two more days. Who knows that you have a companion." Soon, Mu Ting changed the topic and asked with great interest, "So how is that little O on your bed? what happened?"

It can be seen that gossip is a bad habit that all human beings cannot abandon, and a high-quality Alpha who doesn't care about other people's business like Mu Ting can't be exempt from it.

Mu Zhanxi didn't know where to start to answer, so he cleared up the misunderstanding and said that he watched horror movies late yesterday, so he should introduce Meng Yinan first.

Before he could speak, Mu Ting thought about it and guessed: "I think, that little O looks quite young, is it your junior?"

Just as Mu Zhanxi said no, Mu Ting let it go: "That's what I met outside, so are you here with her for real? Marked? You are not young, you can't do irresponsible things... ...How do you know each other?"

"...No." There were too many slots, Mu Zhanxi sighed, and chose an appropriate beginning, "It's Uncle Meng's son."

Mu Ting was stunned for a moment, and gradually understood the meaning of Mu Zhanxi from the word "Uncle Meng", and then opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Fuck—what?!"

Mu Zhanxi knew that he was overthinking again, and simply explained that he went to Caoxi to get married yesterday and came back very late, because Meng Yinan is already in the third year of junior high school, and there is a high probability that he will devote himself to intense study after the next year, and it is difficult to have a relaxing time. It was a holiday, so I took the children to play games for a long time.

Later, I watched the horror movie strongly recommended by my friend when I was not sleepy. Meng Yinan couldn’t bear the fear brought by ghost movies, so Mu Zhanxi didn’t let him sleep alone—of course, Mu Zhanxi didn’t say that Meng Yinan watched it at the time. Look at how pitiful his eyes are.

After hearing this, Mu Ting breathed a sigh of relief after digesting it for a long time, and said bluntly: "That's good, that's good. I thought Dad and I didn't take care of you during this time, and you went astray at a young age."

Mu Zhanxi was really helpless: "No."

"But your relationship is quite good," Mu Ting laughed after he calmed down, "Uncle Meng's son, he has lived in the house not long ago, I just met him for a few days, and I took him to Xiaocao's house again. He was playing games together, and he was willing to let him sleep in your room."

In the end, he sighed "Have you treated anyone so well, it's really preferential treatment".

Mu Zhanxi first said "It's okay", and then said "He has been here for two or three months", to show that these are really not exaggerated things that need to be evaluated with "preferential treatment".

Mu Zhanxi's life is relatively monotonous. He is not the kind of person who is good at socializing, but he also has his own social standards.After Meng Yinan came to the house, he just did what he should do, what he could do, and what he did conveniently——

Meng Yinan was sick and passed out in the bathroom. He had a fever for three days. No one could care about him except Mu Zhanxi.

In the late autumn, Meng Yinan transferred his car to a school far away by himself, and the destination was basically the same, so Mu Zhanxi thought he could take him along.

Meng Yinan called his parents because of a fight. At that time, his parents were far away overseas, and no one except Mu Zhanxi could play this role.

Later, when Meng Yinan was going to take an exam, it happened that Mu Zhanxi was good at his homework and had plenty of time to teach him; Meng Yinan didn't have many friends and already knew them, so when Mu Zhanxi went to Caoxi to start a family, he couldn't find anyone who didn't take him with him. The reason: Meng Yinan has many things that he has never experienced before, such as wanting to play games, and that is not to catch the moon and pick the stars, so Mu Zhanxi is naturally willing to play together...

Even, they have known each other for several months, dozens of days, so they can be regarded as very familiar.Meng Yinan was young and was afraid of horror movies, so of course he didn't have to go back to the room alone to sleep under the cold blanket.

Everything is reasonable and normal.

If I remember correctly, when Mu Zhanxi was a child, he went to Mu Ting's room with a pillow every day, and listened to Mu Ting talking a lot of nonsense. When he fell asleep, he would grab Mu Zhanxi like an octopus, almost crushing him to death. ...

All in all, since they are brothers, then all these are not things worth making a fuss about, right?

Mu Zhanxi also felt that he was not exaggerating than Mu Ting at all. Mu Ting had made friends very quickly since he was a child, and after knowing each other for an hour, he could become like life and death brothers who had been friends with each other in his previous life.

In contrast, Mu Zhanxi and Meng Yinan had gotten to know each other very slowly.

Therefore, neither Mu Ting nor Cao Xicheng should use words such as "preferential treatment" or "object" or "together" to imply anything.

So, Mu Zhanxi simply told Mu Ting what he thought, and hoped that he would stop talking about it when he saw Meng Yinan later, as Meng Yinan would also feel embarrassed.

Moreover, he also warned Mu Ting more seriously, saying that Meng Yinan has not yet differentiated, so don't mention whether he will be divided into Omega or Alpha.Best not to ask at all.

Mu Ting was stunned, probably feeling a little overprotective: "It's so serious, you can't even mention it?"

Mu Zhanxi said yes.

"No way, then I know he's not differentiated, isn't it deliberate not to say a few words?" Seeing Mu Zhanxi frowning, Mu Ting quickly smiled reassuringly, "Okay, brother is still in your heart." It can't be too much, we all know that little brother doesn't like to mention it, but he's trying to annoy others?"

Only then did Mu Zhanxi nodded lightly, saying, "It's good to know."

Mu Ting was a little dumbfounded.

However, Mu Ting still felt that he was too kind to this new brother, and guessed that Meng Yinan might be the type who doesn't talk much but is well-behaved and sensible, which is less likely to annoy Mu Zhanxi.

In his opinion, although Mu Zhanxi is a gentle person in his bones, there is a layer of indifference on the surface as a protective color, which is not warm and amiable, and patience is not always available.

After all, Mu Ting had been slapped by Mu Zhanxi the next day many times because of his poor sleeping position, and the most serious one was almost pushed out of bed.

His gentle brother didn't think twice about him at all!

……

Anyway, if they can really think carefully about Meng Yinan, it proves that their relationship is really good, and there will be no conflicts when they get along.In this way, Mu Zhanxi will have no complaints or disgust at all.

Just when Mu Ting was about to satisfy his curiosity and asked Mu Zhanxi why he couldn't mention differentiation, he heard light footsteps, which seemed to come from downstairs.

Probably the new brother woke up.Mu stopped thinking.

At this moment, he saw Mu Zhanxi who just said "ordinary brotherhood" stood up without hesitation, went to the corridor and called Meng Yinan.Then went downstairs.

Mu Ting checked whether the work document was saved, and was a few seconds late, and followed him down to the second floor.

And his always indifferent younger brother was standing in front of the new younger brother. From Mu Ting's point of view, Mu Zhanxi blocked most of the child, but it can still be inferred from his movements that he helped the child straighten the loose clothes , Smoothed down the untied hair again.

Then he asked Meng Yinan in a voice that was hard to describe, whether it should be described as softer or softer—different from usual—wake up, and whether he was hungry or not.

"..." Mu Ting thought for a while, and felt that in the study on the third floor just now, Mu Zhanxi, who was talking about why he misunderstood, seemed to be farting with a very speechless expression and tone of "how could a fool think that way".
