The Mu family's new year is simpler and simpler than Meng Yinan thought.

There is no lively atmosphere of a big family as imagined, nor the rich arrangements or exquisiteness of the rich people on TV. It is just that Mu Zhong and Meng Du gave red envelopes to the juniors, listened to a few pleasant words, and then used them together. New Year's Eve with rich dishes.

When Meng Yinan and the others went downstairs, the preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner were almost coming to an end. Meng Yinan followed Mu Zhanxi to help in the kitchen, but he followed indistinctly. Tail.

Regarding the matter of not wanting to be seen by Meng Du as having a good relationship, the two had not yet reached an agreement, but since Meng Yinan needed something, Mu Zhanxi did not make things difficult for him.

It's just that there was no interaction when Meng Du was there, and when Meng Du wasn't around, Mu Zhanxi would still ask Meng Yinan in a low voice if he wanted to watch TV, and then told him that he remembered where the cakes were, so he could have some before meals.

Around seven o'clock, Mu finally came down from the stairs, leaving the kitchen to his aunt, and Meng Yinan followed everyone to the living room.

The head of the family, Mu Zhong, is a taciturn middle-aged man. He is different from Meng Du's previous partners. He is relatively indifferent and has a steady demeanor, giving people a sense of alienation and depth that is old-fashioned and gentlemanly.

Meng Yinan was inexplicably nervous when he saw him. In fact, when he first arrived at Mu's house and saw Mu Zhong, he was fine, but this time he always felt as if he had done something he shouldn't have done and was about to be criticized.

It was the same when taking the red envelopes. Meng Yinan was the youngest and was the last one to take it.

Mu Zhong looked at him, and Meng Yinan suddenly forgot all the festive words he had prepared, and finally said a few common words. Seeing that Mu Zhong didn't respond, he added the phrase "Happy New Year, Uncle" at a loss. .

Of course, Mu finally didn't criticize him, he might be surprised by the kid's unreasonable nervousness, but finally he nodded and said happy new year.

Mu Ting stood beside him for a long time, and waited until Meng Yinan finally finished the part of getting the red envelopes before laughing out loud, even making a pig cry, and almost slapped him.

Mu Zhanxi also laughed. Although he was not as disregarding his image as Mu Ting, it made Meng Yinan blush for a moment.

Because of this incident, Meng Yinan felt very embarrassed throughout the night, and eating New Year's Eve dinner was also boring, unless someone spoke to him, he would obediently respond.

The table in Mu's restaurant is a square table, so Meng Yinan and Meng Du sat on one side, and Mu Ting and Mu Zhanxi were opposite.

Halfway through eating, Meng Yinan felt a light touch on the side of his calf.

At first he felt that he had touched it accidentally, but he didn't react much. After the touch was a little stronger, he realized that Mu Zhanxi should be calling him.

Meng Yinan raised his head subconsciously, but Mu Zhanxi, who was sitting opposite him, didn't look at him, didn't raise his eyelids, and ate slowly.

At this moment, Meng Yinan heard Meng Du's voice: "Yinan, what's wrong?"

Startled, Meng Yinan turned his head to find Meng Du smiling at him.

He shook his head and wanted to say it was all right, but was touched lightly by Mu Zhanxi under the table again, and then Mu Zhanxi's faint voice sounded: "Uncle Meng, can you help me with the ribs? I can't get it .”

Of course Meng Du agreed, and stood up to adjust the position of the dishes on the table.

Mu Ting laughed: "Uncle Meng, you eat yours, don't worry about him, this kid likes to trouble people, can't he stand up and pinch him?"

Meng Du said: "It's okay, Xiaoxi is too obedient, I'm too happy for him to trouble me."

He also asked Mu Zhanxi if there were any other dishes that could not be served, and said that the dishes were not arranged properly. I knew that the meat and vegetables were all on Mu Zhanxi's side. Children can't eat it.

After Mu Zhong heard this, he didn't say much, but Meng Du acted like a master, he was joking and serving dishes, and after saying those words, he also put ribs in Mu Zhong's bowl very flatteringly. The voice said that he would not favor one person over another.

The three juniors pretended they hadn't seen it, and waited for Meng Du to tell Mu Zhanxi to treat him as an uncle at home, so you're welcome.

Mu Tingcai said: "Uncle Meng, you are the one who don't be polite to us, you have been busy all day, why don't you care what he is doing... Hey Xiaoxi, don't just eat for yourself, but also bring food for Brother Yinan, he is more than You are young."

When Meng Du put down the plate and talked to Mu Ting, Mu Zhanxi happened to be picking up ribs.The movement paused for a while, as if waiting for the excess soup to fall on the plate, so as not to drip onto the table, but it looked like he was hesitating.

Meng Yinan raised his head quickly, and Mu Zhanxi was indeed looking at him.

Just as Mu Ting said so, Mu Zhanxi gave the ribs to Meng Yinan very naturally, his face still expressionless, and it was completely impossible to tell whether he did it voluntarily or because Mu Ting told him to do it.

Meng Du touched Meng Yinan with his arm: "Why don't you say thank you to brother?"

Meng Yinan lowered his head and felt Mu Zhanxi move slowly. The trousers he retracted touched Meng Yinan's ankle, and it was a little itchy. Meng Yinan said without changing his expression, "Thank you, brother."

Mu Zhanxi said no thanks.

It looks pretty similar.Meng Yinan bit the rib and thought.

Afterwards, whenever Mu Zhanxi wanted to pick up dishes that Meng Yinan seldom touched, he would "call" him under the table, and Meng Yinan would obediently pick up what Mu Zhanxi picked up, and was "forced" to eat a lot.

Dinner was over, and Aunt Beta, who helped cook before, had finished work and went home for the New Year. Meng Du was going to clean up the dishes in the kitchen, but was pushed away by Mu Ting, saying that they could do it, and that Uncle Meng was busy.

Meng Du didn't say anything, and followed Mu Zhong to watch TV shows.

If you were sitting on the sofa, you would not be able to see the whole kitchen. Meng Yinan was standing in the innermost part, completely blocked by Mu Zhanxi.

Mu Zhanxi is here to wash the dishes and put some dishes into the dishwasher, while Mu Ting is wondering how can the nephew's long-abandoned dishwasher work properly.

There are still leftovers that cannot be washed by the dishwasher, so they are piled in the pool for Mu Zhanxi to wash.He washed off the oil stains on the surface, applied dish soap, and handed it to Meng Yinan to rinse it off with clean water.

Mu Ting fixed the dishwasher and saw that there were still some unfinished meals, so he prepared to clean up and asked them who would still eat.

He took another two pairs of clean chopsticks from the cabinet and called Meng Yinan: "Put that there first, brother Yinan, come here, and I'll give you another piece of meat."

Meng Yinan wanted to say that he was full, but seeing that Mu Zhanxi's hands were covered with foam, he went over to get the chopsticks and asked Mu Zhanxi if he wanted to eat.

Mu Zhanxi nodded, and Meng Yinan picked up a small piece of thornless fish and fed it to him.

As a result, Mu Ting stood beside him with a distorted expression, and lowered his voice: "...No, you two, are there any more?"

Mu Zhanxi asked, "What's wrong?"

Mu Ting put on an expression of "an old man on the subway looking at his phone", stared at Mu Zhanxi for a while, and said "tsk": "You still ask me what's wrong... Are you looking for a beating?"

As a single dog, Mu Ting felt very irritated that his words were ignored after a few hours.He thought that he was warning with good intentions, and it was fine if Mu Zhanxi didn't listen, but who knew it was another way, the younger brother already had his own ideas.

So he waited until Meng Yinan went to wipe the dining table before approaching Mu Zhanxi, leaned up to him and reminded him, "Didn't you make it clear to keep your distance?"

Mu Zhanxi was expressionless: "When did I explain it clearly?"

Mu Ting was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully: "...I didn't say anything."

Mu Zhanxi gave him a very contemptuous look, which meant nothing, and finally told Mu Ting: "Don't meddle in your own business."

Mu Ting was dumbfounded: "Why am I meddling in your business?"

Mu Ting said so, but in fact he managed more than anyone else.

Mu Zhanxi glanced sideways. Before Meng Yinan came over, he said, "Don't think about it, because it will never develop into what you think."

Mu Ting was very shocked: "He confessed to you? Are you two in love?"

Mu Zhanxi frowned. It seemed that he didn't want to communicate with Mu Ting anymore, but he still said, "No."

After a while, he added: "But there is no need to keep a distance."

This is a clear reply to Mu Ting's words at noon.

Mu stopped thinking, what a fart.

His younger brother would never treat anyone nicely, even if he was nice, he would not let others approach him without a sense of distance.For things like feeding, Mu Jing has been living for so many years, and when Mu Zhanxi was drinking milk when he was a child, he was bottle-fed by an adult, and he has never had it since.

Judging from Mu Ting's many years of single experience, Mu Zhanxi must like Meng Yinan.

Mu Ting stood behind him and said, "You can be stubborn. I'm your own brother, and I can't bear to beat you."

He thought to himself, if you have the ability to take Yi Nan's brother out for a walk, if you tell people that you two are pure brothers, will anyone believe it?You tell single dogs, no dog in the world will let you go!

Mu Ting was very angry.

But after waiting for a while, Mu Ting was no longer obsessed with his previous thoughts.

He felt that since the goal was clearer, it would be better to be sparse.

So he worked it out in his heart, praying that Meng Yinan would become a cute and cute Omega, and hoped that his brother's love that he hadn't been found out by himself would not be lost.
