As early as when he left Lincheng, Meng Yinan was ready to meet Meng Du.

It's not that I'm afraid of seeing him, but I just don't want to see him, feel irritable, and need to suppress those complicated emotions that can't be sorted out in advance.

The reason was simple, Meng Yinan didn't want to spoil the New Year's atmosphere of the entire Mu family due to personal reasons.

When he lived with Mu Zhanxi, Meng Yinan was accepted, so he didn't have to think about many things.But here, he's just a small fringe figure who has nothing to do with anyone.

What can be done and what cannot be done, Meng Yinan still knows in his heart when he lives under the fence.

From the entrance to the living room, in just a few steps, Meng Yinan heard singing from the kitchen.

The familiar Omega's voice floated over together with the smell of oily smoke from the kitchen, making Meng Yinan's stomach tighten for a moment, and he felt uncomfortable reflexively.Then the brain was notified in the last step, telling him that "Meng Du is in the kitchen, very close to you", and then the body went into a state of stiffness for a short time, and then slowly relaxed.

Well, it is indeed very realistic.

He has not seen Meng Du for nearly three months, which can be regarded as the longest parting since he became an adopted son.He thought that he had already gotten used to life without Meng Du, so the reaction of seeing him again would be a little bigger.

The layout of this house is more open, the kitchen is semi-open, and Meng Yinan can see Meng Du's figure when he looks up.

Meng Du is nearly 1.7 meters tall, which is the most popular height among male Omega, neither too high nor too low.The body shape is well-proportioned and slightly leaning towards plumpness, with soft body curves, and the skin is delicate and fair, like oily white jade.

And his looks were even more deceiving.He is 36 years old, but looks younger than his actual age, like 27.But it is more charming than an Omega of this age. There is a maturity and charm that young people can't learn in every gesture, and she looks gentle and understanding when she smiles, which is in line with all Alpha's fantasies about an Omega as a wife.

It's hard for an Alpha not to have a good impression of him.

At this time, he was busy in the kitchen, wearing a black close-fitting thin sweater, a dark red velvet neckband decorated around the neck to cover the glands, and a simple apron over the sweater, talking to Beta who was chopping vegetables with a smile on his face What.When not speaking, he hums a ditty softly and sweetly.

If, if Meng Yinan didn't know anything, didn't experience anything, and saw Meng Du for the first time, he would, like anyone else, see him at first sight as a delicate Omega who loves life and family.

I think that a person with such a voice and smile will never have a temper, like a young father who is a little jerky and doesn't know how to be an elder for his children, but still studies hard.

But Meng Yinan knew that these were all fake.

Perhaps hearing the sound, Beta in the kitchen turned to see Meng Yinan and the others, and said something to Meng Du, and then Meng Du also turned his head.

The moment he met Meng Du's eyes, Meng Yinan wanted to run away.

But in fact, he still stood there, watched Meng Du say something with a smile, put down the things in his hands, wiped his hands with a tissue, and then walked out, walking towards Meng Yinan.

"Xiaoxi, Yinan, are you home?" Meng Du walked out of the kitchen, passing the dining table.

Meng Yinan's wrist was still held by Mu Zhanxi, and he withdrew his hand almost the moment Meng Du walked over.

You could probably feel Mu Zhanxi's daze from the strength of his grip, but Meng Yinan didn't look up at him, and his expression didn't change. He struggled without hesitation, and Mu Zhanxi let him go.

Therefore, when Meng Du came, Meng Yinan's arm had just been received in front of him.He subconsciously grasped his wrist, covering the place where Mu Zhanxi had just pulled, the palm of his hand seemed to still have warmth.

Meng Yinan hummed casually, and replied perfunctorily to Meng Du's words.

"Are you tired from flying?" Meng Du said with a smile again, "Yinan seldom used to fly, and I was worried that he would get airsick."

Meng Yinan said in a low voice no, then said it was okay.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mu Zhanxi call Uncle Meng. He didn't give Meng Du time to talk, and then said that he was a little tired and wanted to go upstairs to put his luggage first.

Mu Zhanxi's voice was lower than usual, it seemed cold and stiff, and it sounded like he was not in a good mood.

Meng Du was stunned for a moment, and finally moved his gaze away from Meng Yinan, then nodded: "Yes, Uncle hasn't seen you both patronizing and happy for a long time, and I forgot that it's the hardest for you two to come here early in the morning."

"That's right, they almost fell asleep in my car just now, and I don't know if they stayed up late to play games last night." At this time, Mu Ting joined the conversation with a smile, and turned to Mu Zhanxi and said, "Xiaoxi, I remember that there is still a vacant room on your floor. Let my younger brother live there. If there is anything he doesn't understand, you can take care of it. I don't care about you guys. Talk to Uncle Meng."

After Mu Ting finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted Meng Yinan's head, telling him to take a good rest and sleep if he was tired.After that, I told Meng Du why you still cook by yourself, and went to the kitchen.

After Meng Du left, Meng Yinan turned to look at Mu Zhanxi, as if he had something to say, but Mu Zhanxi didn't look at him, went upstairs first as he spoke, and left with the suitcase first.

Meng Yinan froze for a moment, then followed up lightly.

He felt that Mu Zhanxi was angry.

Meng Yinan thought to himself that there was a reason for pulling his hand back. Although it was his own reason, he might not be able to tell Mu Zhanxi, but he hoped that Mu Zhanxi would not be so angry.

He walked with his head down and followed Mu Zhanxi until Mu Zhanxi stopped in front of the room and opened the door. Meng Yinan looked up at him.

Mu Zhanxi pushed the luggage into the room and said to Meng Yinan, "Come in."

There are not many traces of life in the room, and there is nothing else on the table except for two pots of plants that were just put there at first sight.There are several books in the bookcase, and it seems that no one has read them for a long time.However the room was clean and should have been cleaned earlier.

"I still lived here when I was five years old." Mu Zhanxi said so, put the box down, opened it, and took out the things that the two of them used frequently.For the clothes, I only took the pajamas, and the rest of the things were neatly stacked in the box and placed in the corner of the room.

Meng Yinan helped him put the boxes together, thinking there would be a follow-up, but after waiting for a while, Mu Zhanxi didn't say anything, and asked, "What about after that?"

Mu Zhanxi didn't answer him right away, and waited until he put his schoolbag on the stool before saying, "It was time to go to primary school, and I went to Lincheng that summer, and I only came here occasionally during the holidays."

Meng Yinan listened obediently, and asked a question that he soon regretted after speaking: "Are your uncles and aunts coming too?"

Because Mu Zhanxi glanced at him, smiled helplessly, and replied, "It's just me and my brother."

Meng Yinan didn't know what to say.

He has been to too many places, and his sense of home is relatively weak, so he cannot know what Mu Zhanxi's intention is when he said these words, what he wants to express, and what kind of answer he wants to get.

Meng Yinan also has no talent in communicating with people, and does not have the ability to make the atmosphere relaxed.So he could only look at Mu Zhanxi, as if waiting for his next words.

However, Mu Zhanxi didn't seem to have anything to say on this topic. He put away the book, asked Meng Yinan if he was sleepy, and then led him to the room where Meng Yinan was going to live.

Not far away, it's next to Mu Zhanxi's room. It's smaller than his room, but it's also very clean.

Meng Yinan didn't bring much luggage, most of it was packed with Mu Zhanxi's, and the rest was in his schoolbag. He put away his things, and saw that Mu Zhanxi was still standing by and looking at him, and he didn't seem to want to leave. .

"Can we stay up there all the time?" Meng Yinan thought for a while, wondering if there were any rules in the Mu family, "I don't know if uncle is here, should I go and say hello to him?"

"No," Mu Zhanxi said, "probably not here."

Meng Yinan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Mu Zhanxi was with him all the time, how did he know that Mu was not there, but he didn't ask, "Will it be impolite?"

"No." Seeing that Meng Yinan was still a little hesitant, and might feel that this was not good, Mu Zhanxi said, "Don't worry about it if you don't see it, anyway, you'll see it at dinner anyway."

Meng Yinan thought about it for a while and it was true. Although it is not good not to say hello, it seems very strange to go to Mu Zhong just to say hello.So I decided not to bother with this issue.

Then Meng Yinan didn't have anything to say, but Mu Zhanxi hadn't left yet, and stood aside, with no intention of doing anything, just looking at Meng Yinan from a distance.

Meng Yinan asked, "Brother, do you have anything else to do?"

But asking is like chasing someone away, telling him to leave as soon as he is fine.Meng Yinan said again: "Why don't you sit down for a while?" Then he pulled the chair in front of the table.

They don't have a study plan for today, so they don't have to stay in the room all the time.But Meng Yinan didn't want to go downstairs, he wanted to stay in his room. If he didn't study, he might just want to read a book, or talk to Fu Yun, or he didn't know what to do.

But Mu Zhanxi didn't sit in the chair, but went to the bed, sat down and patted the side of his side, telling Meng Yinan to go too.

Meng Yinan walked over and sat down obediently.

Mu Zhanxi looked at him for a while, then suddenly said, "You don't have a good relationship."

Of course he was referring to Meng Du, and it wasn't a question. Meng Yinan understood it, but didn't know how to answer it.

After waiting for a while, Mu Zhanxi said again, "You don't want him to see it?" As he spoke, Mu Zhanxi stretched out his hand with the palm facing up, as if referring to Meng Yinan pulling his hand out of his hand before, as if he was waiting for Meng Yinan to see it. Nan handed over his hand.

Meng Yinan froze for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"Or, you can't hold hands here?"

When Mu Zhanxi said this, his expression hardly changed, nor his tone, as if he was just asking Meng Yinan if there were any taboos, and if there were any, he would pay attention.No other meaning.

But his hand was still stretched out, he didn't take it back, and his voice was very soft, it felt like if Meng Yinan didn't respond, it would inevitably appear that he was lonely and pitiful.

So Meng Yinan put his hand up, and chose the best answer: "I don't want him to see it."

"Why?" Mu Zhanxi held his hand, and pressed his thumb on the back of Meng Yinan's hand, holding it like this, without letting go or doing anything else, "It's not that he wants you to have a good relationship with me. Is it?"

Meng Yinan was still hesitant to say it. After all, it wasn't something interesting. Meng Du's thoughts were always so irrational and annoying.

After a brief silence, Mu Zhanxi once again wisely saw Meng Yinan's thoughts, and asked again: "We have a good relationship, why don't you want him to know?"

Mu Zhanxi was probably really angry for speaking so straightforwardly and staying here all this time, so he wanted to have his doubts answered.

If Meng Yinan could give a reasonable reason, he should not have asked any more.

It's just that Meng Yinan couldn't give a reason.

After waiting for about a few minutes, Meng Yinan didn't know how long it was. Anyway, he felt that it was such a long time. Mu Zhanxi suddenly ran out of patience, let go of his hand, then looked down at him and said, "You don't want to say Never mind."

Inexplicably, Meng Yinan felt that Mu Zhanxi's expression was different from usual.

He couldn't say exactly what the difference was, but usually Meng Yinan didn't want to say that Mu Zhanxi wouldn't persecute him, but today he seemed to be tired and no longer willing to waste time with Meng Yinan.

Without thinking much, Meng Yinan grabbed his arm.

"Are you angry?" Meng Yinan said anxiously, don't be angry with me, and then said, "There is a reason."

Mu Zhanxi stopped moving and let him pull him, but he was not as gentle as usual, and Meng Yinan would compromise whatever he wanted.He asked lightly, "What's the reason?"

Meng Yinan looked up at him, and waited for a while before saying, "He really wants me to have a good relationship with you, but, it's not the kind of relationship you think."

Mu Zhanxi hummed, indicating that he was waiting for him to continue.

In fact, at this time, Meng Yinan felt that Mu Zhanxi should already know what he was going to say, but Mu Zhanxi was still waiting, which made Meng Yinan uncontrollably embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "He wants me to pester you." .”

After saying this, Meng Yinan felt his face was burning, and his voice was so low that Mu Zhanxi didn't seem to hear him, and asked him, "What?"

Meng Yinan waited, unable to think about why stating a fact would make people so nervous, and felt that Mu Zhanxi did it on purpose, but there was no evidence.

In the end, he simply broke the can and said, "He wants me to become your Omega!"
