deep blue

Meng Yinan was awake for less than 10 minutes that night. He drank half a cup of warm water and had no appetite. Then he felt sleepy and fell asleep.

In the next three days, the glands were no longer inflamed, but they kept suffering from low-grade fevers of unknown origin, and the process of differentiation never ended. Meng Yinan woke up from sleep and did not recover.

Due to his poor condition, he was unable to eat or supplement nutrition normally and regularly, so he had to hang the bottle every day.He wasn't considered fat in the first place, but he had lost weight visibly to the naked eye in the past few days.

On the fifth night, under the intervention of drugs, all the indicators of the glands reached the standard. The next day, the hospital arranged minimally invasive surgery for Meng Yinan to remove the tumor.

On the morning of the second day after the operation, the fever that had lasted for a long time subsided successfully. Although Meng Yinan slept for two days afterwards, everything was going in a good direction.

Meng Yinan woke up for the first time after his fever subsided, in the early morning of a certain day.

At the beginning, I was half-dream and half-awake. I heard the crisp birdsong and the rhythmic wall clock. I didn’t know where my consciousness was floating. It took me a long time to feel the existence of my senses.

After the sound, comes the smell.

The cool air fills the nasal cavity and penetrates deep into the trachea, and the fresh air displaces the stale air in the chest cavity.Morning Breeze has a unique smell, mixed with some disinfectant and alcohol, but they are all light and not unpleasant.

Sleeping for many days, the connection between the senses and the brain seems to be delayed.After smelling it for a while, Meng Yinan slowly thought that the window seemed to be opened.

But he always closes the window before going to bed, so he spends his brain thinking whether he forgot or someone entered the house and opened the window.Also thought for a while.

Then came pain and touch.

The neck seemed to be immobilized, and there was a slight pain in the glands at the back of the neck, as if a small needle tip was poked there, painful and itchy.But it's bearable.

When Meng Yinan stopped thinking about the window, he moved his fingers lightly. When his fingertips touched something cold and hard, he rubbed it curiously for a while, feeling like he was touching a piece of rusted metal.

Then slowly said to myself, shouldn't there be such a thing by the bed?I don't know what to touch.

Then, he was caught by a warm hand.

The reason why he knew it was his hand was because this movement seemed to be repeated many times during his drowsiness, and it was deeply imprinted in his mind. When he was still in a daze and couldn't even figure out who he was, his subconscious could clearly tell him—— Your brother is next to you.

Since then, Meng Yinan's memories have flooded up like a tide.

"elder brother……"

Meng Yinan opened his eyes, and only uttered very soft syllables. His throat was dry and astringent, and he couldn't continue speaking.

The light in this room is not bright, and the furnishings are simple. According to the metal pole beside the bed and the hanging bottle hanging on it, it should be a hospital ward.

The window was opened a crack, and the half-drawn curtains were shaken by the wind.

Mu Zhanxi was indeed sitting next to Meng Yinan, just as Meng Yinan had guessed.

And obviously, Meng Yinan's less standard syllables were also heard by him.

Because Mu Zhanxi slowly raised his head and looked at Meng Yinan.

In the darker scene, Meng Yinan also looked at Mu Zhanxi, observing him for a while.

About a minute or so.

During this period, Mu Zhanxi did not seem to be surprised or delighted by Meng Yinan's turn from danger to safety and finally woke up, but kept quiet and silent just now, neither happy nor angry, with a little expression on his face without much expression. haggard.

Meng Yinan was taken aback by this attitude.

Compared with his memory, Mu Zhanxi had never shown such an expression in front of him, depressed, calm, tired, and somewhat indescribably empty.

After Meng Yinan woke up, he immediately felt at a loss and at a loss.

He seemed to remember waking up a few times during the process of differentiation. Some fragments of memory told him that Mu Zhanxi should have known the gender of his differentiation, and told him "it was very good".

Then why does he still have this expression?

No way, those are all dreams, right?Is it all imagined by himself?

Actually not good at all?Poorly differentiated gender.

Mu Zhanxi doesn't like it either?

Meng Yinan thought blankly.

But soon he came back to his senses, blinked his eyes, and wanted to keep "brother" from screaming, so he shouted breathlessly.Finding that Mu Zhanxi was still holding his hand, he used a little more strength to hold it back.

Meng Yinan had a little experience in avoiding things, and found that he couldn't figure it out, and was about to be upset, so he stopped thinking about it immediately.

The most urgent task is to make this bad expression disappear from Mu Zhanxi's face.

Hope he can be happier.

But after a while, Meng Yinan realized that he had made a mistake.

Because Mu Zhanxi was not unhappy at all, but did not realize that Meng Yinan woke up at all.

It wasn't until Meng Yinan's warm hand gently pinched him that he woke up like a dream and called Meng Yinan's name.

His voice was very hoarse, he didn't know how long he sat here, and he stayed with Meng Yinan for a few days.

He might want to say something more, but he didn't say anything in the end. He just squeezed Meng Yinan's hand tightly after confirming that Meng Yinan was really awake, as hard as confirming his existence.

Maybe for a short while, Meng Yinan saw that his usually cold and indifferent brother seemed to be choked by something, his eyes were moist, he lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth were pursed into a line, making a very, very sad expression. look.

It seems that the past few days have been very tormented, and I finally passed it, creating unreal, uncomfortable and wronged emotions.

Meng Yinan suddenly panicked.

Meng Yinan tried hard to sit up, but his bones seemed to be rusted and he couldn't move at all. Then he was anxious, and he didn't know which joint with a wink made a "cracking" sound, and then his stomach "gurgled" cried out.

It overlaps with the "I'm sorry" that Mu Zhanxi said softly.

The air was silent for a while.

Meng Yinan pretended that he didn't hear what he said, glanced at his stomach, spoke to him in a breathy voice, and mouthed again: "Brother, brother, I, I'm hungry."

Mu Zhanxi's sad expression was interrupted by these strange voices and strange things.

He probably didn't expect that Meng Yinan's first request after waking up was to eat.

But it's not unreasonable.

Then, for some reason, Meng Yinan suddenly felt that the scene was so funny, so he grinned.

He didn't stop for a while, and when he leaned his chin down, he suddenly found that he was wearing a white plastic product around his neck, which was pressed against his chin and fixed his neck so that he couldn't move. Meng Yinan showed a surprised expression.

Only then was Mu Zhanxi amused by him, and he laughed too.

Time passed quickly after that.

Meng Yinan woke up at 06:30 in the morning, probably his body has really recovered, he has no other discomfort except limb stiffness.

After waking up, I drank some sweet honey water and ate two apples and one orange.

While Mu Zhanxi was boiling water for making honey water and peeling fruit, Meng Yinan moved his limbs on the bed.It is estimated that someone massaged his limbs during his coma, and it was not as stiff as imagined.

After eating the fruit, except for the neck, other parts can basically move freely.

After drinking the water, he was able to talk for a while, so Meng Yinan exercised his authority as a sick person and asked Mu Zhanxi to go to the toilet on his back, but found that his hair had not been washed in time, and he wanted to wash it.

Even more lively than Mu Zhanxi expected.

Mu Zhanxi basically complied with his request, except that he didn't agree to wash his hair, saying that he would wash it after he got home, it was inconvenient here and he could easily catch a cold.

Meng Yinan said it was summer, and it was much warmer than before he split up, and he would not catch a cold at all.

Mu Zhanxi still said no.

After going back to bed and lying down for a while, Meng Yinan learned that half a month had passed since his differentiation, and he woke up at just the right time, because Mu Zhanxi was going back to school in three days.

At that time, the first year of high school was also on vacation, and with the tossing days during this period, Meng Yinan was able to miss two weeks of class.

He leaned against the head of the bed, and said in embarrassment, "What should I do, I'm absent from class."

It doesn't really bother me at all.

"I've been on leave," Mu Zhanxi pointed to the head of the bed, and only then did Meng Yinan see that there were two books there, "Fu Yun took notes for you."

Meng Yinan beckoned, and Mu Zhanxi gave him the notes.Meng Yinan flipped through it briefly, and found that it was really class notes, and some exercises were included, so he couldn't believe it: "I was hospitalized and he brought me notes?"

"I brought it along the way," Mu Zhanxi said, "He comes to see you every day after school."

"Are you coming today?" Meng Yinan immediately raised his head and asked.

Although it is difficult for normal people to understand what he said about shipping with notes, he is still very happy to hear that he will come to see him.

Looking at Meng Yinan's expression, he knew that his heart was warm again.

Mu Zhanxi withdrew his gaze, took out his phone and looked at it: "He didn't say no."

Seeing the phone, Meng Yinan remembered to ask for his own, but Mu Zhanxi refused to give it, saying that it is best not to bow your head while recuperating.

Meng Yinan said, "I can hold it."

Although Mu Zhanxi was depressed in the morning, he seemed to attach great importance to Meng Yinan and could meet all of Meng Yinan's needs, but in fact he was still rational. He felt that Meng Yinan would never let go of what he couldn't do.

Meng Yinan looked at him pitifully, but he would not change his mind.

During the conversation between the two, they never mentioned glands and gender. If Meng Yinan didn't ask, Mu Zhanxi probably felt that he didn't want to know, and didn't find the right time to say it.

Until the little nurse came to make rounds and saw that Meng Yinan had woken up, she took his temperature and recorded it, and said that she would let the doctor see it in the afternoon, and said to Meng Yinan, "You are finally awake, you are really the worst I have ever seen." Well-behaved and lovely Alpha, your brother can finally rest assured," they had no choice but to bring up this topic.

Meng Yinan was not surprised when he learned that he had been running a fever because of the lump, and later had a minor operation.It seems that I have known such a thing for a long time. I said that I saw a lump during the previous examination. Why did the hospital think that there is nothing wrong?

He also mentioned the old lady who was the doctor who gave him a physical examination this semester, and said that when she asked her if it would have any effect, she was very dismissive of the answer, making it seem that Meng Yinan didn't understand common sense.

Regarding this, Mu Zhanxi didn't say much, and basically listened to him quietly.

Later, Meng Yinan knew that he had become an Alpha.

After hearing the news, I was a little stunned, and wanted to touch the gland, but was blocked by the shelf around my neck, and I couldn't smell too much pheromone.

He suddenly asked Mu Zhanxi: "Brother, when did you know?"

Mu Zhanxi thought for a while: "It was a few days ago."

Before the differentiation, Meng Yinan could only tell that it was not Beta, but once the differentiation started, the gender could not be changed, and the hospital came to a conclusion the next day.

From the outside, it was impossible to tell whether Meng Yinan was satisfied or not.

He just froze for a while, and didn't say anything about complaints or dislikes, as if he accepted this gender easily, and Mu Zhanxi couldn't see anything unusual.

Not only that, but Meng Yinan looked very energetic when he was well, as if he had accumulated a lot of energy during the days of falling asleep, and when he woke up now, he would release all of it.He was a little too active, unlike someone who had just split up and been awake for half a day.

It's not bad.

Mu Zhanxi told herself so.

Near noon, Meng Yinan was finally tired from tossing around in the ward, and told Mu Zhanxi that he was very hungry and wanted to eat.

The food in the ward was all food that could be placed, not a meal, so Mu Zhanxi went downstairs to bring him porridge.

While Meng Yinan was very noisy at the beginning, Mu Zhanxi completely quieted down after going out, as if all the energy was just for his brother to see.

He lay on the bed for a while, thinking about those sudden things.It's differentiation, it's glands, it's sex.But in fact, I couldn't think of a reason, so I fell asleep slowly after a while.

Probably because the noise was too much in the morning, Meng Yinan slept soundly this time, and he didn't remember when Mu Zhanxi came back, or whether he was asked to eat.

It was not until three or four in the afternoon that I was woken up by the sound of talking.

When he woke up, he saw that there were other people in the room besides Mu Zhanxi.

The man was staring at Mu Zhanxi with a distorted expression for some reason, and when he found out that Meng Yinan had woken up, he looked at Meng Yinan again with that expression as if he had been arrested for chemical castration.

Then he showed the same "ferocious" smile, waved hello to Meng Yinan, and called him Yinan's younger brother.

It was Mu Ting.
