Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little - Chapter 40
After sending Aunt Zhang away, an hour had passed, Mu Muer watched her leave, waved her hand vigorously, and did not forget to lock the door after entering the house.
He walked around downstairs, first to look at the new leaves of the small jatropha tree in the yard, and then to see if the chocolate pudding that he hadn’t eaten yesterday was still in the refrigerator, but he was a little reluctant to take it out Eat it, and finally put it back. He didn’t seem to know what he should do now, and he walked upstairs slowly when he got a little bored.
Bai Yao saw him go upstairs from the stairs, got up and lay down on the carpet again, pretending that he had been sleeping the whole time.
As soon as Mu Mu’er went upstairs and saw Bai Yao, she remembered that she still had a fluffy one. She immediately jumped over to pet it, and aimed at Bai Yao’s stomach. She sat cross-legged on the ground, snoring absently with one hand on the fur on his chest. .
“Are you tired, big cat, lie down for a while.”
His eyes were fixed on his stomach, and he didn’t know how to cover it up a bit.
Bai Yao grinned and showed two canine teeth, trying to scare Mu Muer, but the boy’s eyes lit up, and he reached out to touch his teeth.
“…”
It’s over, Bai Yao lay down on the ground, revealing his snow-white belly.
The fur on the snow leopard’s stomach is thick and soft, Mu Mu’er’s hands almost sank into it when she put her hands up, like being embraced by the clouds in the sky, she couldn’t touch it enough.
He was still holding the crispy persimmons that he wanted to give to Bai Yao. Mu Muer put one hand on Bai Yao’s stomach, looked down at the persimmons, and remembered something.
Only at this time did he slowly realize that he hadn’t seen Bai Yao all day, he frowned a little, and asked slowly, “Big cat, do you know where Yaoyao went?”
Bai Yao tilted his head, pretending not to understand.
“Long time no see…”
Mu Muer stopped touching him, stood up again, looked around the apartment, with a little nervousness in her eyes, and whispered to herself: “Yaoyao.”
But there was only Furry and him in the apartment. Mu Muer thought about it for a while, then turned around and ran downstairs again, wondering if Bai Yao was downstairs, and she just didn’t see him.
Bai Yao sat on the carpet in the living room and waited for someone to come back. Sure enough, within two minutes, there was a sound of running up the stairs, and Mu Muer’s flustered and aggrieved face appeared at the stairs.
Seeing him like this, Bai Yao already regretted it, and flicked his tail behind him angrily. Knowing that the child has no sense of security and is afraid of being abandoned, he was bullied before, and he teased him like a jerk.
It’s one thing to make small troubles usually, but today it’s too much. The little sea otter can’t tell the difference between joking and bullying. Bai Yao may be the only important person in his world. If he relies on him, he can’t live without him. If he can’t find him, he feels abandoned.
Bai Yao hurriedly got up and wanted to go inside, but before he entered the room to transform, he watched Mu Muer’s expression gradually become panicked.
He didn’t even want the big cat, and he didn’t even look at it. He stared at the small yard outside the window, as if he was looking at the path leading to the street, and asked in a very soft voice: “… Yaoyao don’t want Mu’er Yet?”
When Mu Mu’er turned around, Bai Yao saw clearly that his eyes were full of tears, and even the tip of his nose was red.
“Yaoyao, Yaoyao, Yaoyao.” Mu Mu’er’s voice was smaller than that, and she was almost whimpering at the end, “Mu’er is good, don’t eat scallops, Yaoyao is back.”
He hasn’t told Yaoyao that he likes him yet, why Yaoyao doesn’t want him.
Bai Yao felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and was so remorseful that he wanted to strangle himself to death. He jumped into the room in two or three steps and changed his shape. He casually took a T-shirt and pants from the closet, put them on, and ran outside. The clothes were almost reversed. .
He played it.
When he went out, Mu Muer was already curled up on the carpet in the living room. He was sitting tightly against the sofa, with his arms around his knees, his head buried in it, and he didn’t raise his head when he heard the sound, looking very pitiful.
Afraid of scaring him, Bai Yao sat down in front of him, reached out to touch his shoulder, but finally retracted, “Mu’er…”
He just said two words, Mu Muer raised her head suddenly after hearing his voice, her dark and depressed eyes instantly brightened a lot.
“Yaoyao!” He threw himself into Bai Yao’s arms at once, even though he was thin, his strength still pushed Bai Yao back a little.
“Yaoyao! Yaoyao!” Mu Muer yelled several times in a row, “Mu’er be good, don’t eat scallops, fried rice, don’t eat, let Yaoyao eat all, Yaoyao don’t want it, Muer .”
He would pause for a few words, and he was so nervous that he could speak incoherently.
Bai Yao hugged Mu Mu’er tightly, trying to give him a sense of security, and stroked his back with his palms, “I’m here, Mu’er is fine, Yaoyao didn’t want you, you’ve always been here.”
The boy in his arms was trembling slightly, and his body was still a little stiff. He squeezed himself into Bai Yao’s arms with all his strength, and pressed his face against Bai Yao’s chest.
Bai Yao regretted so much that his heart tightened for a while, his limbs became stiff and began to ache, and his words scratched his throat like glass shards. He felt uncomfortable and regretted, but he couldn’t turn back the time, so he could only coax Mu Muer softly, stroke the back of his head, and apologize to him.
“Sorry, it’s okay, I’m here.”
He said sorry several times in a row, and wanted to explain to Mu Muer, but he didn’t know how to tell him that he was the snow leopard, so he held back after organizing his words several times.
It wasn’t until now that he gradually realized that his weight in Mu Muer’s heart might be much heavier than he imagined.
How much weight there is, but he can’t figure it out.
Mu Mu’er didn’t understand why Bai Yao wanted to apologize to herself, but she reflexively said “It’s okay” in a small voice with a pitiful cry.
He sobbed for a while, then stopped crying suddenly, and pulled himself up from Bai Yao’s arms. Mu Muer looked carefully at Bai Yao’s eyes, the eyes were so clear that she could see the bottom at a glance, her eyes were red with a little tear.
Before Bai Yao asked what was wrong with him, he retracted the arm around Bai Yao’s waist, and opened the hand that he had been holding tightly just now. In the palm of his hand was the crisp persimmon he had been holding.
“The persimmons were given by Aunt Zhang.” His voice was still crying, and he got up and carefully stuffed the persimmons into Bai Yao’s palm, letting him hold them well, “It’s so sweet, so sweet, so delicious.”
Mu Muer raised her eyes to meet Bai Yao’s gaze, and she shrank into his arms while explaining to him, “Give it to Yaoyao.”
The persimmon was held by Mu Muer for the whole afternoon, and it was soaked with the temperature of his body, and felt a little warm to the touch. This trace of temperature seemed to make this persimmon a unique treasure in the world.
“And…” He paused solemnly, blinked his eyes for a long time, as if he didn’t remember what he was going to say, and then he spoke after a long time, saying each word, “Mu’er likes Yaoyao, I really like it, I like it so much, I like it the most. Liked it.”
After Mu Mu’er finished speaking, she seemed to have fulfilled a sacred mission, she slipped back into Bai Yao’s arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and stopped moving after arching.
Bai Yao held the persimmon in his hand for a while, but finally didn’t eat it, and put it on the most conspicuous place on the coffee table in the living room.
