Chapter 274 Call Me Brother

Zhou Yanshu felt completely bewildered. He leaned against the wall and looked at Yu Zhuo, completely unable to remember where he had met him before.

But this child's dependence on him is far beyond that of an ordinary person.

After the operation, Yu Zhuo shamelessly stayed in the palace to recuperate. He was young and mute, so Zhou Yanshu took him in temporarily after some consideration.

Yuzhuo likes to squeeze together with him, the bed, sofa, chair... Yuzhuo will always choose the place closest to Zhou Yanshu.

Zhou Yanshu examined Yuzhuo's body and found that he didn't even have a gland behind his neck, so he was probably a Beta.

It has no impact on me, we can sleep together.

"The doctor said your throat wasn't injured, why don't you speak?" Zhou Yanshu used his fingers to twist the white hair on Yuzhuo's head from time to time. He asked nonchalantly, "You don't know how to speak, or you don't want to speak?"

Yu Zhuo rolled his eyes, looking as if he understood but not quite.

Zhou Yanshu could only teach him himself: "Do you see this picture? You drew it yourself in class. This is you, and this is me. You are so much shorter than me, what should you call me?"

Yu Zhuo looked at the white paper on the table, on which were drawn two wooden figures, one yellow and one black. It was obvious that the drawing skills were poor, the lines were extremely rough, and the lines in the middle were broken several times.

"Ah." Yu Zhuo pointed at the taller yellow man in the picture and nodded to Zhou Yanshu.

Zhou Yanshu was indifferent: "What did you call me?"

Yu Zhuo pursed his lips and said nothing.

They stared at each other for a few seconds, Zhou Yanshu frowned and said: "Brother, do you understand? Call me brother, brother - brother -"

Yu Zhuo said nothing. He rolled up the white paper, put it away, turned his back and ignored Zhou Yanshu.

Zhou Yanshu sneered: "He's quite small, but he has a big temper."

Others of the same age can answer questions fluently, but Yu Zhuo can't even pronounce the words clearly.

Zhou Yanshu had to admit that Yuzhuo did have some flaws, but they were not irreparable.

"I'll ask you the same question next week. If you still can't answer it, go and sleep outside by yourself." Zhou Yanshu's face was cold. He said, "You are not young anymore. It's time for you to be independent."

Yu Zhuo paused, grabbed Zhou Yanshu's sleeve and shook his head.

"Well, I know you are protesting, but the protest is ineffective." Zhou Yanshu pinched Yuzhuo's face, "The sofa will wait for you."

Yu Zhuo clenched the white paper in his hand and bit the soft flesh inside his lip silently.

Zhou Yanshu has not yet entered the secondary differentiation, and he has no doubt that he will differentiate into an Alpha in the future. The elders in the mermaid tribe think the same way, and they have even chosen a suitable Omega for Zhou Yanshu.

Yu Zhuo took it all in.

He has no glands behind his neck, so he will most likely be a Beta in the future. It is precisely because he is a Beta that the lack of pheromones will not affect Zhou Yanshu, and the mermaids will allow him to stay with Zhou Yanshu.

But as time goes by, Yu Zhuo's body will grow rapidly. He estimates that it will take him two years to reach the same height as Zhou Yanshu and achieve systematic gender selection.

Until then, he will maintain this short and frail appearance.

Yu Zhuo crumpled the small painting in his hand into a ball. He pursed his lips, and a layer of gloom appeared in his eyes.

A week later, Zhou Yanshu asked Yuzhuo the same question again. His ultimate goal was to get Yuzhuo to speak, so he just sat in his chair waiting for Yuzhuo to speak.

Yu Zhuo glanced at the clothes and quilts that had been packed by Zhou Yanshu, and spread the drawings on the table unhappily.

There are still two little men, one yellow and one black. The yellow one is taller and the black one is shorter.

Zhou Yanshu sat on the chair with his chin propped up. His knuckles were white as he pointed at one of the little men and asked, "Who is this?"

"You." Yu Zhuo said.

He has a hoarse voice, far less immature than his childish appearance would suggest.

Zhou Yanshu listened attentively and pointed to the side: "Who is this?"

"I."

"Okay." Zhou Yanshu looked at the table, "This is you, this is me, what did you call me?"

Yu Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yanshu for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Wife."

Zhou Yanshu: "..."

He didn't say a word, but changed the direction of his finger and tapped the two little figures on the paper with more force: "I'll give you another chance. What did you call me?"

Yu Zhuo: "Husband."

Zhou Yanshu: "..."

"Go and get me an application to drop out tomorrow." Zhou Yanshu pulled the paper off the table. He frowned and looked at the two little people on the paper for a moment, then turned his gaze to Yu Zhuo, "Are you in a premature relationship?"

Yu Zhuo lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhou Yanshu laughed for no apparent reason. He pinched Yuzhuo's neck and said, "Go to the room."

Yuzhuo immediately dragged his packed clothes and sheets back to the bedroom.

Yuzhuo is quickly learning foreign knowledge, not only the language of the mermaids, but also everything about the ABO in this world.

Zhou Yanshu is an Alpha. If the situation remains the same after the second differentiation, he will marry the Omega who has already been chosen by the tribe without any suspense.

Yu Zhuo was secretly worried. He had indeed grown rapidly in the past two years, but there was always something missing.

The bed in the bedroom was where Zhou Yanshu slept when he was a child. There was still enough space when Zhou Yanshu used to hold Yuzhuo on it, but somehow Yuzhuo had grown to be almost as tall as him.

But Yuzhuo seemed to have only grown in height, but not in brains.

One night, he crawled into Zhou Yanshu's bed and asked him nervously, "Brother, what is that behind your neck? Why don't I have it?"

Zhou Yanshu closed his eyes and said calmly, "Gland. It's not a good thing. You're fine without it."

"I don't want it." Yu Zhuo pressed on Zhou Yanshu and said in a muffled voice, "You have it, and I want it too."

His body was now quite heavy, pressing down heavily on Zhou Yanshu, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Zhou Yanshu didn't care. He hugged Yu Zhuo's neck and smiled faintly, "Why do you want this? Who do you want to mark you?"

Yu Zhuo tilted his head: "You ask even though you already know the answer."

"You are a Beta, so I can mark you." Zhou Yanshu narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly, touching Yuzhuo's belly, "It's just a little difficult..."

Yu Zhuo paused for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Where is your engagement?"

"I can marry whoever I want, and they have no right to control me." Zhou Yanshu said softly, "As for the child... it's up to you."

Yu Zhuo was secretly delighted. He hugged Zhou Yanshu and said, "Brother, why didn't you prepare flowers for me when you confessed your love to me?"

Zhou Yanshu: "..."

"Actually, I'll do whatever you say." Yu Zhuo kissed Zhou Yanshu's cheek and spoke affectionately.

His gender is determined by Zhou Yanshu's secondary differentiation.
