Sheng Lin didn't tell his father that he would be back today, and he wasn't sure if his father was home at this time. Sheng Lin took Xi Hezhou upstairs, opened the door with a key, and saw his father changed his clothes and was about to go out.

"I'm going to drive to pick up your brother now." Seeing Sheng Lin coming back, his father took the doctor's hand and said, "Come next time, don't get in the way."

The father seemed very impatient, and he didn't seem to want Sheng Lin to see his brother very much.

Xi Hezhou is taller than Sheng Lin, so he is naturally more eye-catching, and Sheng's father is no exception. Xi Hezhou was famous before retiring. He is different from Sheng Lin, he knows a little bit.

"Dad, this is Xi Hezhou. I'm already married to him, and I just brought him to meet you today." Sheng Lin clarified his purpose in two or three sentences, "As you wish, there is no need to arrange blind dates in the future."

With that said, he turned around, pulled Xi Hezhou and prepared to leave.

He didn't intend to stay for long, nor did he intend to let Xi Hezhou talk to his father.

However, Xi Hezhou stopped him and bowed politely to Sheng's father who was standing there: "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, but I just heard that you said that you were going to pick up Sheng Lin's younger brother. My car happened to be downstairs and I can pick you up. I invite you to have a meal as an apology."

Seeing the politeness of the person in front of him, Sheng's father couldn't help but suppress the doubts in his heart, agreed to Xi Hezhou's suggestion, and went to pick him up with Sheng Lin.

The atmosphere in the car was very delicate. At first, Xi Hezhou only knew that the relationship between Sheng Lin and his family was not good, but he didn't expect it to be so stiff. From going out this morning to now, he can count with both hands.

There were not many people at the airport. After waiting for 5 minutes, Sheng Lin's younger brother came out. When he saw Sheng Lin sitting in the car, his eyes lit up.

"Brother, why did you come to pick me up!" He asked, but the joy in his tone couldn't be hidden.

Sheng Lin's reaction was indifferent.

Xi Hezhou noticed something was wrong, and Sheng Lin didn't seem to like this brother very much.

"Brother, it's great that you are finally willing to see me."

As Sheng Nian spoke, he wanted to pull Sheng Lin's hand, but Sheng Lin avoided him.

The younger brother noticed Xi Hezhou, looked him up and down, with doubts in his eyes, and the subconscious provocation when the two alphas met.

His brother has this alpha smell on him.

"That's your brother's husband." Father Sheng explained to him in time.

The two elders didn't get out of the car, so Xi Hezhou had to get out of the car to help others carry their luggage.

"My name is Shengnian, what's your name?"

"Xi Hezhou."

Xi Hezhou threw Shengnian's luggage into the trunk.

"Have you and my brother obtained the certificate?" Sheng Nian stood at the rear of the car, staring at Xi Hezhou with hostility in his eyes.

Xi Hezhou defaulted.

Sheng Nian seemed to be enraged, blocked Xi Hezhou's way, reached out and grabbed Xi Hezhou's collar, and looked at Xi Hezhou viciously.

Even the elder brother's husband can't do anything, Xi Hezhou is baffled by Shengnian's hostility.

Sheng Lin saw this scene clearly in the rearview mirror. He opened the car door, walked over and pulled Xi Hezhou away.

"Be quiet."

Xi Hezhou and Sheng Lin got back into the car, and Sheng Nian got into the car afterward, sitting next to his father, who glanced at him and said nothing.

"It's time to take medicine." Xi Hezhou reminded Sheng Lin, and started the car to go to the reserved restaurant.

Sheng Lin skillfully opened the open box and took the medicine and water. Sheng Lin was familiar with this car, and Sheng Nian could see it clearly from the back seat.

He was a little annoyed, Xi Hezhou was an outsider, but Sheng Lin was closer to him than to his family.

Xi Hezhou booked a private room, and they started serving dishes one after another after they were seated. Sheng Nian sat next to Sheng Lin, watching Xi Hezhou talking to his father while putting the dishes into Sheng Lin's bowl.

They were all dishes that Sheng Lin didn't like.

The so-called husband actually doesn't know anything about it, not even what his brother likes to eat.

Sheng Nian put a piece of tofu into Sheng Lin's bowl, Sheng Lin looked up at him, stared into his eyes, Sheng Nian seemed to be eager for his praise, but Sheng Lin put the tofu aside, and continued to eat what Xi Hezhou sandwiched for him dishes.

"When are you going to have the wedding?" Father Sheng didn't care about the behavior between Sheng Nian and Sheng Lin.

"It's in the process of preparation, and it will be as soon as possible."

Because of his sore throat, Sheng Lin ate very little. Most of the time he drank the hot water Xi Hezhou poured for him and listened to Xi Hezhou's speech.

Sheng Lin, who drank too much water, talked to Xi Hezhou, got up and went to the bathroom.

"Brother, why him?" Sheng Nian did not know when he stood behind Sheng Lin.

After Sheng Lin washed his hands, he took a paper towel and dried them.

"Why can't it be him?" he asked rhetorically.

"Brother, you clearly know what I mean to you, why do you still marry him, he doesn't know you at all."

Sheng Nian looked very sad, a little excited, and felt that tears would come out in the next second, but Sheng Lin was unmoved.

I really don't know why everyone likes to question him in the toilet. Lin Yu is like this, and so is Shengnian. If this continues, he will have PTSD about the toilet.

"Don't be silly Sheng Lin, I won't be with you unless I marry him, I'm related to you by blood, and I don't want to see you either."

Sheng Nian was taken to Sheng Lin's home by his father when he was 15 years old. Sheng Nian was already ten years old at that time, which meant that Sheng Nian was born when he was five years old.

"Don't you also understand me? You thought I liked to eat tofu, but at that time I could only eat tofu. What you thought you understood me was just a compromise after I was tired of coping."

Years of inequality make life after the age of 15 oppressive.

"In the prime of life, all your happy memories of the family are accompanied by my pain. I don't know why you like me, but I hate you, I hate my father, and I hate this family even more."

Sheng Nian froze in place, he thought that Sheng Lin was just getting angry with his father and broke away from the family, but he didn't expect him to be like this.Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that Sheng Lin has never been really happy.

"I suffer from insomnia all the year round, I have pain during estrus, and I can't smell pheromones. You don't know these things that have been with me since I was 15 years old. You just know who you think I am."

Sheng Lin still can't forget that his father locked him in the attic during his first estrous period, and the Shengnian birthday party was being held below.

He couldn't forgive everyone, and he wasn't that generous, he just hated, even though it wasn't something he could choose in his prime, he still hated.

"I can make it up to you, brother, I can make it up to you."

"Don't show up in front of me is the best compensation for me." He is not a person who indulges in the past, but some things will become a thorn in his heart. pain.

He now has a new life and doesn't want to be too connected to the past.

When Sheng Lin returned to the box, his father was already drunk, but Xi Hezhou was still sober. He was also relieved to see Sheng Lin come back.

Sheng Nian came back with a bad complexion. He saw his father who was drunk, and then glanced at Sheng Lin who was talking to Xi Hezhou.

"Dad, I'm home." Sheng Nian supported his father and walked out, "I'm sorry to disturb you."

After Sheng Nian left, Xi Hezhou looked at Sheng Lin, as if he wanted some explanation.

"You see it?"

Nonsense, Alpha still has an intuition for rivals in love.

"Shengnian is my half-brother. It may be that I always ignored him before, which aroused Alpha's desire to win. I don't know why he likes me."

In fact, Shenglin and Shengnian really don't have much contact, and only came back a few times a month after high school. Shenglin didn't like Shengnian, and wished to avoid him. Shengnian confessed.

"Well, I see." Xi Hezhou didn't ask further, "It's a pity, I haven't met you in high school yet."

"It's very close to my high school, do you want to go and see it?" Sheng Lin swept away the previous frustration, his eyes lit up.
