deep blue

Mu Zhanxi stood at the door, and Meng Yinan didn't step aside when he came out, but he didn't ask why Meng Yinan was so slow, he just glanced at the door casually.

"Brother," Meng Yinan looked up, and waited for Mu Zhanxi's eyes to fall on him before asking, "You've been waiting for me for a while, haven't you?" He closed the door without hesitation.

Mu Zhanxi looked at him for a while, and probably knew that he was pretending to be good again, but he couldn't see what Meng Yinan was covering up, so he waited and said, "It's not long. Let's go downstairs."

The structure of this house is different from that in Lincheng. You can see the living room directly from the corridor on the second floor of the house in Lincheng. Sometimes when Meng Yinan hears footsteps while doing homework, he will go to the corridor to watch Mu Zhanxi go upstairs with a drink. .

But the stairs of this house are independent on one side, and the living room cannot see the situation on the second floor, and it is necessary to turn a corner to get to the living room when going down the stairs.

So they were halfway there when they heard Mu stop talking.

"...It's okay," Mu Ting's voice sounded a little embarrassed, "I'm busy with work, so I didn't think about these things."

Then came Meng Du: "Xiao Ting, you are not young anymore, don't think uncle talks too much."

He paused for a while, and Mu Ting said, "Say it."

"You should also look around you after work. When you see a good Omega, you should talk to them more to get to know them. Your children are busy now, but you can't delay your marriage."

Mu Ting laughed and changed the subject with a smile: "Uncle Meng, you are young too. You always say we are children, but this does not make you old."

"Then how can it be the same thing?" Meng Du told Mu Ting about the disadvantages of not getting married, and Mu Ting kept laughing, sometimes adding a few words, but most of the time he just ignored the topic.

Meng Yinan and Mu Zhanxi were standing at the corner of the stairs, and for some reason, neither of them intended to walk down the last few steps to the living room.

When they went downstairs, they turned off all the lights upstairs, and only the light from the overhead light in the living room was the only source of light.Therefore, the corner of the stairs is very dark, and you will not find anyone standing here unless you approach.

After listening for a while, Meng Yinan pulled Mu Zhanxi's sleeve, and when Mu Zhanxi looked at him, he raised his left hand, drew a circle on his wrist with his right index finger, tapped it, and then pointed in the direction of the living room.

To the effect, it's getting late, why don't we go out.

However, Mu Zhanxi might not understand, so he turned his head slightly, motioning for Meng Yinan to talk to him.

Meng Yinan leaned into his ear and said, "Brother, shall we go now?"

He thought that Mu Zhanxi would straighten up first, and then look at him to say whether to go or not, but Mu Zhanxi suddenly turned his head.

The warm breath brushed against his cheeks, and the faint scent of pine and cypress drifted over. Such a close distance startled Meng Yinan.

He leaned back subconsciously, but his shoulders quickly touched the wall, and he couldn't retreat.

"Brother?" Meng Yinan called him in a small breath.

Mu Zhanxi put his hand on his shoulder and pulled him into his arms. He probably felt Meng Yinan struggling a little, so he replied in the same low voice: "Don't move."

Then Meng Yinan seemed to be frozen, watching Mu Zhanxi approaching him.

He was a little unspeakably nervous, feeling his heartbeat quicken as the distance between the two of them shortened, and when Mu Zhanxi got very close to him, he dodged slightly to the other side.

But Mu Zhanxi didn't want to do anything to him. Instead, he leaned close to his neck and sniffed lightly. He paused for about two seconds before standing up again.

Sure enough, it really has a taste.

Thinking to himself, Meng Yinan pressed Mu Zhanxi's wrist: "What, what's wrong?"

Mu Zhanxi lowered his eyes, and his eyes met. Mu Zhanxi was about to speak, but he heard the conversation in the living room shift to Mu Zhanxi.

"...What about Xiaoxi, is there anyone you like?"

If it weren't for Mu Zhanxi standing next to Meng Yinan, and the two of them were some distance away from the living room, Meng Yinan would have thought that Meng Du had found them here and was asking questions from a distance.

Mu Ting let out an "ah", sounding a little silly: "Well, I don't know."

He added: "Xiaoxi has always been in Lincheng, and I don't go back too often, I don't know much about his love life. But I guess there is still someone I like."

"Do you have any?" Mu Ting probably wanted to end the topic, but he didn't expect Meng Du to get excited and was very interested in it, "What kind of Omega is it?"

"Ah, it's not..." Mu Ting almost blurted out, but stopped in time, "Well, I don't know very well. But there should be someone who likes it, I can see it."

"Is that so..." Meng Du's voice sounded a little pity.

"Well, yes," Mu Ting continued, "but I guessed it based on my feeling. Does he look like the kind of kid who will share his emotional experience with his family? Uncle Meng, I really don't know. I said don't embarrass me."

Meng Du just laughed: "Why make things difficult for you, I just care about Xiaoxi."

"Oh, that's right, Uncle Meng," Mu Ting lowered his voice, "Don't tell my dad what I just told you."

"Why can't you say it?" Meng Du laughed, "What kind of secret is this?"

“那倒不是秘密，主要也不知道我猜的准不准，万一压根没有这回事呢？让我爸知道了说小西早恋揍他怎么办？”

Mu Ting didn't ask "what should I do" at all, but was full of smiles: "He's a high school student, he's still young, so it's too early to think about these facts, don't you think?"

……

Hearing Mu Ting said that Mu Zhanxi has someone he likes, Meng Yinan looked at Mu Zhanxi curiously.

After watching for a while, seeing that Mu Zhanxi didn't seem to want to talk to him at all, he asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you have someone you like?"

Mu Zhanxi doesn't seem to like being talked about or speculated about by others, and he hates asking questions knowingly.

If Cao Xicheng had asked him, Mu Zhanxi might have made a face with Fa Xiao, left him where he was, turned around and left.

But the person who asked the question was Meng Yinan, so it was probably impossible for him to leave the cute puppy and walk away.

Because if he leaves it behind, he will be the one who will come to find the puppy later.

Mu Zhanxi looked at Meng Yinan, waited, then suddenly approached him, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

"I think..." Meng Yinan was honest, "I don't know."

He still looked at his brother with those dark eyes without blinking, so Mu Zhanxi raised his hand to cover his eyes very rudely, blocking his sight.

He probably felt his eyelashes sweeping his palms, and quickly let go of Meng Yinan, and finally pinched his face lightly with no other choice.

After putting down his hand, Meng Yinan's eyes still couldn't restrain himself, so Mu Zhanxi ran away, and said softly, "If you don't know, don't know." interesting.

No matter what Mu Ting and Meng Du were still discussing, Mu Zhanxi walked out from the shadows and said to the living room, "Get ready to go."

Mu Ting asked, "Where is Yi Nan's younger brother?"

Mu Zhanxi glanced back, he could see Meng Yinan from where he was standing, so he looked at Meng Yinan, and said to Mu Ting naturally and casually, "I haven't come out yet, hurry up."

Lying without blinking.

Meng Yinan froze for a moment, then stood on the stairs and laughed.

Mu Zhanxi still didn't move, and his expression didn't change at all. He seemed to be waiting expressionlessly for Meng Yinan to appear.There is also a little unwillingness to wait for others, as if it is troublesome.

But when Meng Yinan laughed enough to point at him and mouthed a lie, Mu Zhanxi smiled lightly, then turned his face to the side, and changed into the unreasonable look he had before, and stopped talking to Mu Zhanxi. Said: "It's too boring at home, just wait, I'll go out first."

During the period, I greeted Meng Du, and left as usual with aloofness and indifference.

Mu Ting said to Meng Du very cooperatively: "This kid is like this, Uncle Meng, please leave him alone. Then I'll go and see if brother Yinan is ready."

When Mu Ting walked to the stairs, he saw Meng Yinan tiptoeing up the stairs with his slippers on. Mu Ting showed a funny look, but he didn't see through him, and shouted, "Brother Yinan, are you alright?"

Meng Yinan went all the way to the second floor before saying yes, then put on his slippers and went downstairs.

In the car, Mu Ting held the steering wheel and wanted to laugh: "You two really know how to pretend, when did you get off?"

Mu Zhanxi's tone was light: "When you said that the important event of marriage cannot be delayed." It was a bit intentional to embarrass Mu Ting.

Mu Ting choked for a moment, but he didn't pay much attention to it: "You guys came so early, haven't you been hiding there for a long time?"

Mu Zhanxi didn't say a word, Mu Ting looked at the rearview mirror with a smile, and said to him, "Do you know what the funniest thing is? The funniest thing is that I happened to see Xiao Yinan carrying slippers Go upstairs, but I am dying of laughter, you two are really interesting."

Mu Zhanxi was probably still a little angry, and said very bluntly, "You are more interesting."

"What happened to me?"

Mu Zhanxi said, "Spreading rumors."

Mu Ting probably knew what he was talking about, and said embarrassingly: "It's not a rumor, it's so serious, I think I understand your mind very well, I should be right 90.00%, nine point ninety-nine, and the rest One-tenth of a percent is that you're not willing to admit it yet."

To Meng Yinan, these words were a bit of a charade.

But Mu Zhanxi knew what Mu Ting was implying, and really didn't want to talk to him, but out of respect for knowledge, he still said, "[-]:[-]."

"Ah?" Mu Ting was stunned for a moment, and slowly came to his senses, "Oh, [-] percent, is it awkward or not, you are good enough, great mathematician?"

Mu Ting's tone was very flat, and Mu Zhanxi was not very happy after hearing it.

Meng Yinan kept laughing beside him.

The place where the event will be held is not far from Mu’s house. It takes only a quarter of an hour to get there by car, but it takes a lot of time to park. It can be said that there are huge crowds of people. Mu Ting ran around the road twice but couldn’t find a suitable place. Finally, he let the two of them go down first. , don't miss the fireworks show.

In this regard, Mu Ting is very like a big brother: "I come to see you every year, mainly to watch you two get bored at home, and let you go out for a walk and relax."

Mu Zhanxi said, "Then hurry up, I won't videotape you if you miss it."

Mu Tingqi smiled: "You wait, I'll beat you when you get down."

Mu Zhanxi also ignored him.

City C is also a big city, there are quite a few people who come out to celebrate New Year's Eve, and the festive atmosphere is strong.

Mu Zhanxi was walking in front, but after walking a few steps, he turned around and went to the south of Lameng, held the child's hand in his palm, and told him not to get lost.

The place to watch the fireworks is the most crowded place in the park square. Mu Zhanxi really didn't have the idea of ​​crowding people. He waited for a long time on the outside, and of course he didn't wait until there was a gap in the crowd. In the end, he dragged Meng Yinan to the nearby area. Under a tree, I found a place with few people to sit.

Originally, they were asked to come out to relax, but neither of them had any interest in playing. Instead, they moved from nesting at home to sitting under a tree, which probably would have wasted Mu Ting's good intentions.

But no one cared about this.

Meng Yinan might still care about what he just heard. After sitting for a while, he faltered and asked Mu Zhanxi, "Brother, do you really have someone you like?"

The child's eyes were very bright. When he said this, he looked up at Mu Zhanxi, his cheeks reflected the light of the lantern hanging on the tree, showing a slight blush.

Mu Zhanxi looked at him for a while, and wanted to say no, but he thought of the words of "responsibility", "don't be casual", and "thinking" that Mu Ting said, so he hesitated again.

If he had to choose between "like Meng Yinan" and "dislike Meng Yinan", then he would choose to like it, not dislike it.

However, it is still unclear what kind of liking he has for Meng Yinan.

In his state, if he insisted on answering this question, did he say yes or no?

What kind of answer is random, thoughtless, and irresponsible?How about non-casual, rigorous, thinking, and responsible?

Mu Zhanxi himself didn't know, and he didn't want to respond hastily, so he remained silent.

No matter how long he was silent, Meng Yinan waited as long as he did. In the end, Meng Yinan felt embarrassed first, thinking that he asked an inappropriate question, and compromised: "I just asked."

Mu Zhanxi hummed, and for some unknown reason, asked him, "Why?"

Meng Yinan thought for a while, "Curious."

Regarding this answer, Mu Zhanxi was noncommittal.

After waiting for a while, I didn't know what to think of, and suddenly my mind jumped, and I mentioned what happened to Meng Yinan in the room just now, and asked why he stayed for so long.

It was obvious that he had sensed something was wrong with Meng Yinan.

Meng Yinan looked at him and realized that it might be some kind of punishment. He asked Mu Zhanxi a question that was difficult for him to answer, and Mu Zhanxi asked him the same question.

The two looked at each other, speechless.

At about this time, the first firework exploded from the sky, followed by the second and the third, and the fireworks became one piece.

Meng Yinan's gaze was drawn there.

It might not be right to say that they are attracted, because Meng Yinan is attracted actively and has no great interest in the fireworks themselves.

In fact, I want to know what Mu Zhanxi is doing at this time, and whether he has watched the fireworks, but he is afraid that Mu Zhanxi will find out if he turns his head to look, and then ask himself the question just now, so he pretends to be watching, pretending to be very serious, as if Watching it for the first time in my life.

He felt that if he pretended to be similar, Mu Zhanxi would wait for him gently, and would not choose to interrupt his interest at this time and ask complicated things.

But the facts proved that Mu Zhanxi really didn't say anything inappropriate.

Meng Yinan thanked Fireworks in his heart.

Brother: Ask tomorrow

In addition, asking who you like is not asking whether you like your younger brother or not. There is a misunderstanding in thinking, brother, please pay attention.
