deep blue

Although Brave Pup is not afraid of difficulties, it is impossible for anyone to be free from anxiety when a certain difficulty is known to occur.

And sometimes, I was really afraid of something. During this winter vacation when I returned to City C for the New Year, it seemed that Mu finally knew about Meng Yinan's relationship with Mu Zhanxi.

This year, because Mu stayed in Lincheng and learned that his two younger brothers were in a relationship, he felt that he couldn't stay under the same roof with these two because of his relationship. He wanted to return to City C early.

It's just that they couldn't separate when they left. Mu Ting said, "Won't you two become more lawless once I leave?" He took the two of them away directly, and went to City C a week before the Chinese New Year.

And once there are more people in the family, Meng Yinan has to keep a certain distance from his brother, at least a normal social distance, and they have no intention of confronting their elders this year, so they are restricted in all aspects of the family and have to Restrain some.

Meng Yinan only sneaked to the next room at night when everyone was asleep, and went back when he woke up in the morning.

Anyway, only the two of them live on the second floor, and other people in the family will always make noise when going up and down the stairs, and the chance of being discovered is very low.Not much to worry about.

It's a bit like having an affair, but for no reason, Meng Yinan quite likes the thrill of being secretly prodded.

Maybe playing heartbeat at this age is a normal operation. Every time Meng Yinan quietly enters Mu Zhanxi's room, kicks off his slippers and sits on the bed, he feels secretive and nervous.

Occasionally, there will be some slight movements at home in the middle of the night, such as someone getting up at night, going downstairs to the kitchen to drink water, or Mu Ting coming home from outside very late.

If he heard the sound, Meng Yinan would huddle under the blanket and dare not move, while Mu Zhanxi was always bolder and would do whatever he had to do.

He even originally just watched movies with Meng Yinan on his mobile phone, but when he heard the sound, he turned off the screen of the mobile phone, and he would tease Meng Yinan a little under the covers, which often made Meng Yinan very nervous.

After a few days like this, Meng Yinan got used to it.

And something more exciting happened at this time.

That night, it was estimated to be around three o'clock in the morning. Meng Yinan drank a lot of drinks during the day and got up in a daze to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

When he came out of Mu Zhanxi's room, it was a bit dark and he couldn't see clearly, so he pressed the switch on the wall to turn on the light.

It’s just that it’s okay not to turn on the light. When the light is turned on, I can see the figure standing on the stairs.

Apparently he had just come back from the outside, and the visitor was still covered with wind and frost, probably because the lights on the second floor suddenly turned on, so he looked in the direction of Meng Yinan.

Meng Yinan just woke up and was still a little dazed. When he turned on the light at first, his eyes were a little uncomfortable. He stood there for two seconds and tilted his head. For a moment, he even jumped out of his mind, "Who, why do you look so similar to my brother?" Ah" thought.

After waiting for about two seconds, he realized who this person was.

It was Mu Zhanxi's father, Mu Zhong.

Meng Yinan originally lived in Mu Zhanxi's room in the middle of the night, feeling a little "guilty". I don't know if his uncle saw him coming out of Mu Zhanxi's room. Anyway, he is such a big man, and he is not very calm when things happen. When he found out that it was Mu Zhong, he was so frightened that he lost his mind on the spot.

He said "Good evening, Uncle, Uncle" in a mess, and said that I was going to the toilet, then took a step back from Mu Zhong's inexplicable gaze, subconsciously opened the door of the nearest room, and got in with a "swoosh".

……

I waited until this series of movements were completed in one go, with his back against the door, and then I thought, why am I guilty?

He didn't even see Mu Zhong's expression clearly!

Moreover, why is he running?What the hell are you doing to be so guilty?

Besides, where is it not good to go, to return to Mu Zhanxi's room?

Isn't this self-inflicted?

It was nothing at first, and Mu finally probably didn't see anything, but Meng Yinan entered Mu Zhanxi's room.

Meng Yinan leaned against the door and swallowed, and listened carefully for a while, but he didn't hear any movement outside the door, and he didn't know if Mu Zhong had left. Just as he was thinking that the door behind him was knocked suddenly, he suddenly His hairs stood on end in fright.

The knock on the door and Meng Yinan's movement finally woke Mu Zhanxi up. He turned on the bedside lamp and saw Meng Yinan who was trembling at the door. :"What's wrong?"

Seeing that he woke up, Meng Yinan still maintained his original posture, as if Mu Zhong was some kind of scourge. When he broke through the door, his body could block it for a while, and he pointed at Mu Zhanxi and put it near his mouth. He gave a pitiful "shh", pointed to the door, and mouthed: Your dad.

Mu Zhanxi frowned, waited for a while, and seemed to figure out why this scene happened, but instead laughed, pinched Meng Yinan's face, and met Meng Yinan's damp wet body in a cold sweat With the palm of his hand, he whispered, "Is it cold?" Let Meng Yinan go to the warm bed first.

Afterwards, Mu Zhanxi went to the corridor to look around. After a while, he didn't know what he had said to Mu Zhong. It might have been a minute or two before Mu Zhanxi opened the door and asked Meng Yinan, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?" Meng Yinan said "yes", and he stepped aside: "Then go."

Meng Yinan blinked: "Where's uncle?"

Mu Zhanxi pointed upwards: "Upstairs."

"Then what did he say?"

Mu Zhanxi was probably pleased by his expression, lowered his head and smiled: "No."

Meng Yinan didn't believe it at all: "Then what are you doing at the door? How could you not talk?"

"Really not," Mu Zhanxi laughed, and rubbed his warm and dry hands on Meng Yinan's palms to wipe off the wet sweat. "Maybe I thought we were still playing and didn't sleep. Let's go to bed early."

One or two minutes is a short time. Meng Yinan was worried, but he didn't think Mu Zhong asked anything. After all, if the relationship is exposed, this time will definitely not be exhausted.

So she felt relieved and believed Mu Zhanxi's words: "Alright then, I'll go to the bathroom."

Mu Zhanxi followed him: "I'll go with you."

Then he rubbed Meng Yinan's head to comfort him.

In the middle of the night that day, Meng Yinan was still a little nervous and didn't sleep well.

Because even if Mu finally didn't say anything last night, he can't be completely assured that he didn't see anything.

The next day, Meng Yinan met Mu Zhong at home, and tried his best to maintain a normal appearance, not showing nervousness, as if what happened last night had never happened at all, and he did not hide in Mu Zhanxi's room in a panic , trying to stay calm.

And Mu Zhong is an unsmiling and taciturn elder, and most of the time in this family, he has an aura that strangers should not enter - at least in Meng Yinan's view, he doesn't want to get too close.

In the end, it was impossible for Mu to go to Meng Yinan for a speculative matter. He seemed to think that what happened last night was an episode, and he didn't take the emotions of a young boy to heart, so he didn't pay much attention to Meng Yinan.

So after a few days of anxiety, Meng Yinan gradually relaxed.

On the day he and Mu Zhanxi left City C, they came downstairs with their luggage and saw Mu Zhong sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.

Mu Zhanxi went to say hello to Mu Zhong, and said a few words. The conversation was relatively brief, just explaining that the vacation was coming to an end, and he was going back to Lincheng. Meng Yinan still had some homework to do, so he had to leave.

Every time Meng Yinan watched the two of them communicate, he felt a little strange.

Most of the time, I feel that the atmosphere is weird and blunt, and no one seems to be at ease. They are very strange relatives, and relatively few times I will tell myself, Meng Yinan, you have never seen a normal father-son relationship, maybe this is also considered Normal.

After all, both Mu Zhong and Mu Zhanxi were of a quiet nature, they belonged to the tacit type, and they probably didn't need to say anything at all.

Of course, it might be a bit of a stretch to say that it's a tacit understanding, Meng Yinan thought, probably half a tacit understanding.

In short, after speaking and changing his shoes, Mu Zhanxi pulled the suitcase and left.

Meng Yinan followed him, and looked back before leaving. Mu finally looked at them at the door, as if he had something to say, but it seemed that he would never speak.Seeing Meng Yinan turn his head, Mu Zhong's gaze rested on him briefly, and he nodded with Meng Yinan.

Speaking of elders, Meng Yinan was also an elder of Meng Du, but his way of getting along with Meng Du was different from normal, so he was always uncomfortable seeing Mu Zhong.Seeing that Mu Zhong greeted him first, Meng Yinan was a little flattered, so he quickly said "goodbye, uncle" and waved to Mu Zhong.

Meng Yinan was always good at pretending to be a good boy, but he acted like a good boy to his elders, Mu Zhanxi couldn't help laughing.

What's interesting is that when Mu Zhong looked at them, he didn't know whether he wanted to tease the children or something, so he waved his hands like Meng Yinan.

Being far away, Meng Yinan couldn't see his expression clearly, but he felt it was gentle.

During the winter vacation of Meng Yinan's second year of high school, because of his own confusion, he felt that his love was almost discovered.

But after thinking about it carefully, I think it’s nothing. For the elders, the fact that he and his brother sleep together does not necessarily mean that they are lovers. They may also think that they have a good relationship. Young people, there is no taboo, a good relationship It is easier to get close, without scruples.

And it was at the end of the year that he really realized that he had been exposed, not only by Mu Ting, but also by Mu Zhong and Meng Du.

And it started at the end of November, half a month before Meng Yinan's birthday.

As it happens to be the weekend, the weather is getting colder, and people put on winter clothes one after another.

Meng Yinan finished the fifth mock exam of this semester on Friday. He originally planned to go to Yangcheng to find Mu Zhanxi with his homework, but Mu Zhanxi is preparing for the competition recently, and he will go to other places to participate in the competition in less than ten days. Yinan canceled the trip and rolled around in the long grass at home.

On Friday night, after dinner, Meng Yinan received a call from Meng Du.

During this year, the relationship between Meng Yinan and Meng Du became delicate.

The subtlety was actually mainly because of Meng Du. Not only did Meng Yinan keep a distance from him as always, but Meng Du also seemed to be hiding from Meng Yinan.

It might not be accurate to say hiding, but in short, they stopped looking for Meng Yinan in private, which reduced the interaction.

So it looks a lot like the Cold War, a little subtle.

However, Meng Yinan didn't think that this atypical cold war needed to be eased, or rather, such a distance was more suitable for them.

During the call, Meng Du asked Meng Yinan if he was okay on the weekend, and said that he wanted to take him to meet two people, but the person he wanted to meet was in the city where they lived before, and Meng Yinan needed to go there.

For a moment, Meng Yinan was a little dazed, not knowing who he wanted to see.

It's just that Meng Du's tone was calmer than usual, less sticky and artificial, and appeared serious and solemn.

Meng Yinan immediately had some guesses.

Maybe... maybe it has something to do with his biological parents.

Because Meng Du had already said last time that Meng Yinan was not picked casually, and if he could say this, it proved that one day he would tell the truth to Meng Yinan.

Meng Yinan had a premonition long ago, but he didn't know which day he would speak. It was expected, but he was a little surprised. He felt nervous and apprehensive. There were many complicated thoughts in his mind, which finally turned into a trace of impossible expectation.

He agreed with Meng Du, and said, "I have two days on weekends."
