Once Fallen

After Pei Chengran went on a business trip, Mi Nan's life was back on track.

The manuscripts that had been dragged down due to preparations for the wedding were piled up like a mountain. He stayed at home all day to catch up on the manuscripts, sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with an iPad and a pencil, lighting agarwood, and taking some snacks. One painting lasted a day.

He didn't learn painting systematically. He used to watch the lectures of great masters on the Internet. In addition, the patriarch enjoyed the meal. He has a strong comprehension ability and a style of his own. Starting with five digits is the most basic. He received a commercial draft of a mythical beast Pixiu before, and his eyes hurt from drawing these days.

"Buzzing——"

The mobile phone on the side vibrated silently, it was a video request from Pei Chengran.

Pei Chengran is very busy with work, he will not respond to messages sent during the day until evening, occasionally he will reply with a word or two during his busy schedule, and usually he will take the initiative to call the video after he is busy with work.

Mi Nan put down the ipad, quickly picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. Pei Chengran's handsome face appeared on the screen. He should have taken a shower and was wearing a hotel bathrobe. There was a pile of documents on the table beside him.

"Brother Chengran." Mi Nan wore glasses, which blocked the cuteness of the original, and gave him a more artistic atmosphere, "Going back to the hotel so early today?"

"Well, there was a social event, so I pushed it off." Pei Chengran looked at Mi Nan's face, "Why are you wearing glasses?"

"My eyes hurt from watching the iPad for a long time." Mi Nan changed a comfortable angle on the beanbag sofa, and complained to Pei Chengran, "I'm not drawing Pixiu recently? The details are really too difficult. I hate the line draft the most." , the gold master's father has been dissatisfied and needs to be changed, if I don't wear anti-blue light glasses, my eyes will almost go blind."

He babbled on for a long time, and seeing that Pei Chengran remained silent, he immediately realized that he had talked too much, and immediately fell silent.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Pei Chengran asked.

"Am I talking too much?" Mi Nan said shyly.

Pei Chengran: "No, it's good."

Mi Nan smiled, "What time will you be back on the 23rd?"

"The plane at nine o'clock in the evening," Pei Chengran said, "it should be early in the morning when we get home."

Mi Nan: "Then I'll wait for you."

"Don't wait, go to bed early."

"It's okay, my schedule is to work at night and sleep during the day." Mi Nan fiddled with the bangs that blocked his eyes at the camera, and didn't mean to wait for you deliberately, just... while working.

When he said this, he didn't dare to look into Pei Chengran's eyes. Fortunately, he only turned on a light, otherwise he would have blushed again.

Pei Chengran naturally saw his desire to cover up, his expression softened, and he casually changed the subject: "Have you eaten yet?"

It's ten o'clock in the evening, and it's already past the meal time. It's really not a good time to ask this question.

But Mi Nan's complexion did change because of this question, and he hesitated to answer.

Pei Chengran frowned slightly, "Didn't eat yet?"

"I ate some bread." Seeing that his face turned cold, Mi Nan hurriedly explained.

"Irregular eating is easy to get stomach problems." Pei Chengran asked, "Do you know how thin you are?"

This was the first time Pei Chengran was so serious, and the indifferent appearance of Alpha made Mi Nan a little panicked, "Sorry... I really forgot. I'll order takeaway right away."

Before that, Mi Nan really didn't care about his own life, and his work and rest were barely regular, but eating was unhealthy, so he could do whatever was convenient. In the past, if he was hungry in the middle of the night, he would make a bowl of instant noodles. Order some cooked food and let it go.

He is really thin, 1.7 meters tall, considered tall among omegas, with a small frame, and his body looks very thin. His long legs are white, but they are too thin for Pei Chengran.Except for a little meat on the buttocks, other places feel like a hand.

"No, I'll order for you." Pei Chengran ended the call neatly.

"Hey..." Mi Nan didn't even have time to speak, only Pei Chengran's stern expression remained on the screen.

Brother Chengran seemed to be angry.

Mi Nan looked at the WeChat dialog box and didn't know what to do. He edited a long list of messages, deleted them for a long time and didn't think about how to post them. After hesitating for a long time, Pei Chengran called first.

"Brother Chengran." Mi Nan called him.

Pei Chengran's voice was not as cold as before, "I ordered some casually, you can make do with it, and it will arrive in about half an hour."

"Okay." Mi Nan looked at the dim lights in the distance, and poked the fabric of the lazy sofa with his fingertips, "I... will pay attention to it in the future, and I won't do this again."

Maybe his voice sounded too soft, Pei Chengran was silent for a while before speaking again, "I didn't mean to blame you."

"I know," Mi Nan put on his earphones, put his phone aside, put his iPad on his lap, opened a new layer, and took a pen to write and draw. Two or three strokes outlined Pei Chengran's handsome outline, "My parents used to say that I was thin, and my eldest brother and second sister asked me to eat more once they saw me."

"Too thin is easy to get sick. And don't you want to get pregnant? How can you get pregnant if you don't take care of your body?" Pei Chengran asked naturally.

"..." Mi Nan's ears turned red, thinking of their lingering two nights, she was too ashamed to speak.

They chatted for a while until someone rang the doorbell before ending the call.

Mi Nan thought that Pei Chengran was just ordering some protein-rich fast food, such as cheese steak rice, charcoal roast beef, etc. When he saw five or six dishes on the table, he was really surprised.

The staple food is millet porridge, and the other dishes are all light dishes. The portion is small, enough for one person.

Mi Nan smiled, took a photo and sent it to Pei Chengran before moving the chopsticks, and took another photo after eating, expressing that he had finished eating well.

It was also from this day that lunch and dinner were delivered to the door every day. In the name of Mr. Pei, they watched Mi Nan finish eating and then collected the dishes and extra garbage.

Mi Nan used to sleep until one or two in the afternoon, but now she is forced to get up at twelve o'clock. After eating lunch, she sleeps for a while before getting up to work.

The meal delivery service lasted only three days, and Mi Nan called Pei Chengran to suspend it.

"Tomorrow's high school reunion, I'm going out to eat." Mi Nan sat cross-legged, leaning against the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, coloring the drawing, "So don't worry about it tomorrow."

Pei Chengran asked, "What about noon?"

"...I'm at home at noon, but I need to sleep for a while." Mi Nan was inexplicably guilty, "I have to play at night, or I won't be in a good state."

A married person, taking advantage of her husband's absence to go out to eat, drink, and sing with high school classmates, no matter how she thinks, she feels that she lacks confidence.

Pei Chengran didn't say anything about him going out to play, but, "You can continue to sleep after lunch."

"How can sleep be disturbed?"

"Then can we not eat?"

When it comes to eating, Pei Chengran doesn't budge, and neither does Mi Nan.

He doesn't like to be disturbed when he sleeps, and even if he continues to sleep later, he can't sleep well, but the more he sleeps, the more sleepy he gets.

So when he attended the high school reunion dressed brightly, his face was limp, and his handsome clothes couldn't cover up his sleepy demeanor.

The buddy He Lin smiled ambiguously, "What's the matter? Are you so tired after getting married? Pei Chengran is too powerful for you to bear?"

The young people next to him laughed after hearing it.

"Stop running the train," Mi Nan yawned, "Last night, I rushed to draft at three o'clock, and did some other things. I didn't go to bed until four o'clock, so I didn't get enough sleep."

"Can you change your routine in the underworld?" He Lin lit a cigarette, "Pei Chengran doesn't care about you?"

Mi Nan couldn't understand, "Why does he care about me? We respect each other's work."

"..." He Lin rolled his eyes.

During the meal, many classmates congratulated Mi Nan on his marriage and came to him for a drink. After drinking a glass of red wine, his head was not dizzy, but soon his face was flushed, his cheeks were flushed, and even his eyes became wet , the crystal lamp in the private room was bright, shining in his eyes like a wave of clear spring.

During this period, his cell phone rang once, it was Pei Chengran's call, saying that he had changed his ticket and he was already in city A, do you need to pick him up and go home together.

Seeing Mi Nan, everyone asked in surprise, "Why did you come back?"

Then he blinked, and obediently agreed to the other party's words, "Okay then, I'll give you the address. Have you eaten yet? Do you want to have something together? OK...Okay, see you later."

He Lin leaned over and asked on behalf of the other students, "What do you mean? Are you leaving? Are you going to the bar???"

Mi Nan sent Pei Chengran a location and box number, and asked, "I'm a married person. Is it appropriate for me to hang out with you single people in bars?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, getting married is so amazing," He Lin said sourly, "I don't even go to the bar, what's the matter?"

Mi Nan pursed his lips and smiled, he couldn't pretend to be happy, especially when he mentioned Pei Chengran, his eyes would sparkle.

"Speaking of which, I also had a crush on this school girl once, and he was really handsome at the time." One of the beta female students said, "Mi Nan, I heard that Pei Chengran studied abroad in university. I married you when I came back, could it be that you were together in high school?"

"At that time, there were a lot of people chasing him, and you were really hiding your secrets."

"It's so good to hide it, isn't it easy to have a foreign relationship in the past few years? It's finally clear."

Mi Nan maintained a slight smile, and took a sip from the wine glass without answering directly.

"But I remember that there used to be a crazy suitor of Pei Chengran in our school, right? Did you find out who it was?"

"It can't be called crazy. They just painted Pei Chengran and posted them on the school's forum. He also painted school flowers, as well as school scenery, teachers and so on."

"I went to the school forum to check some time ago. There are hundreds of works in his account, 80.00% of which are Pei Chengran. His sketch 'famous work', after so many years, is still very popular, and was taken by the art teacher Come out as an example to teach lessons. Pei Xiaocao's face appears again and again in front of the juniors and girls."

He Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at Mi Nan.

Mi Nan didn't expect that people would pay attention to the past so long.

Once he fell in love with Pei Chengran to the point of madness, picked up a paintbrush, and spontaneously drew the outline of a boy without the need for brain control.

Only a small part was posted on the forum, and there were hundreds of drafts that had not been sent out. During that time, his pen was still Pei Chengran besides Pei Chengran.

——It all depends on the power of liking, and excellent painters are trained at that time.

But the fact that the art teacher used his works to give lectures... still makes him ashamed.

After graduation, he never entered the school forum again, and Pei Chengran's departure also took away his fiery emotions.

The students chatted about this matter for a while, then changed the subject and asked Mi Nan, "You know about this too, right? What do you think about the fact that your former love rival is getting more and more famous in school?"

Mi Nan's face was quite red, everyone thought it was because of drinking, "I don't have any opinion, it's all in the past. He is wearing a vest, I don't even know who it is, why should I eat this kind of flying vinegar? Now Pei Chengran is Mine is fine."

The students applauded sparsely, praising him for his real demeanor.

Everyone was making jokes, but He Lin held up his wine glass and touched him quietly, "Congratulations, your secret love has come true."

Mi Nan was drunk, the clouds on his face became brighter, the wine glasses made a crisp sound when they collided, and the red wine swayed gracefully, "Thank you."

When Pei Chengran came, the dinner was just over, and they were about to move to the bar. As soon as Mi Nan saw someone, he walked over and leaned on him. Alpha's bitter breath dispelled the smell of alcohol, and the aloe scent made Mi Nan's brain clearer.

Mi Nan put her arms around Pei Chengran's waist with the help of wine, and introduced him to her classmates one by one.

Pei Chengran greeted her happily, and that face made the single people present a little obsessed, remembering how popular the school grass was once sought after by the whole school.

Mi Nan noticed the change in their eyes, like a puppy guarding the food, he stared at them not to let them think about it.

"I'm not drunk." After getting in the car, Mi Nan sat in the co-pilot and exhaled, took out his phone, half-closed his eyes, and swiped the screen, as if admiring something.

Seeing that he was limp, Pei Chengran leaned over to fasten his seat belt.

The breath of aloes came over, evoking the smell of Omega's body to echo.

Mi Nan raised his head and kissed Pei Chengran's lips, biting lightly, tracing the outline of Alpha with his eyes, and said with satisfaction: "Brother Chengran is so handsome."

Mi Nan, who was drunk, was completely different from usual, his cautiousness was gone, and he was more frank.

The aloes in the car became stronger, Pei Chengran lowered his head and kissed Mi Nan, tasted the alcohol in his mouth, "Drink less in the future."

"Why?" Mi Nan was puzzled.

Pei Chengran wiped off the water stains on Mi Nan's lips, "There's no reason, drink less."

Mi Nan pouted, "Overbearing."

Pei Chengran started the car and drove towards home.

Mi Nan picked up the phone and looked at it for a while, sliding his fingertips across the screen, clicking on a certain picture from time to time, and suddenly asked, "When I was in high school, there was a person on the forum who often drew you. Do you have any impression?"

"A little bit." Pei Chengran looked straight ahead and said flatly, "Why?"

Mi Nan asked: "Do you think his paintings are better, or mine?"

Pei Chengran: "You."

"why?"

"I don't remember what he drew."

Mi Nan smiled, and there was loneliness in the smile, and he leaned on the chair and said drowsily: "No...and I can't forget, he's not bad at drawing..."

Pei Chengran didn't answer the call, and the seat next to him breathed steadily. The phone was placed on his lap, and because his fingertips touched the screen, the screen never went black.

After arriving home, Pei Chengran parked the car, went to the co-pilot and carried him home. When he leaned over, his eyes stayed on his mobile phone.

The page on the screen is also very familiar to Pei Chengran. It is a high school forum. It shows a private account with the head of a little bear. The envelope representing the private letter has a red mark of 99+. The personal page is full of various illustrations, wired drawings, and gouache. , sketches, sketches, all depicting the same person.

Pei Chengran took the phone out of Mi Nan's hand and looked at it for a few moments. Without any surprise, he turned off the screen and put it in his pocket, then picked him up.

Mi Nan moved uncomfortably, subconsciously raised his arms around Alpha's neck, and babbled a few words in his sleep.

Pei Chengran hooked his thin lips, kissed Mi Nan's forehead, and said in a low voice, "You are so stupid, who can you hide from?"
