Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little - Chapter 48
An hour later, the train arrived in City C.
The train station in City C is obviously bigger and more prosperous than the one in Qiaohai Town. There are many more platforms alone, and there are people everywhere. Not only are there many people, but the sound is also noisy, which seems a bit messy.
After getting off the train, Mu Mu’er obviously became cautious, and stopped looking around, and clung to Bai Yao’s side, sticking herself to his arm like a sticky cake.
It was the first time for a boy to go to such a bustling place, and it was inevitable that he would be nervous. Bai Yao tried his best to let him walk on his side, so that others would not accidentally bump into him.
There are more people here than when the Golden Shell is open at night. Mu Muer didn’t know that there could be so many people. He originally thought that Qiaohai Town was the whole world.
Bai Yao kept holding his hand to prevent getting separated from him in the crowded train station.
Qi Ya often came here, he found a place to take a taxi by familiar means, and got on the taxi after standing in line for ten minutes.
The train station is in the south of the city, and it takes 20 minutes to drive to the city center. The hotel that Qi Ya booked is also nearby. The three of them plan to go to the hotel to put down their luggage before deciding what to do next.
Qi Crow’s family is very good, and he has lived a life without worrying about food and clothing since he was a child, so his view on spending money is to spend it when he has money, and think of a way when he has no money.
It’s just that he never lived without money.
Now he earns a decent salary, and he booked Bai Yao a suite in the best five-star hotel in the city center, and he was not stingy at all.
The top five-star hotel rooms are indeed luxurious. The suite is divided into two rooms, one is a bedroom and the other is a study.
The floor is very high, overlooking the most prosperous area in the city center. There is a fluorescent billboard in the square downstairs, which is dazzling and bright. The room is bright and spacious, the camel-colored carpet on the floor is spotless, even the exquisitely packaged Belgian chocolates are placed on the bed, and the quilts are neatly folded.
Mu Muer entered the room, first looked at every corner, and then the two rooms. By the time he turned out of the study, most of his energy had been exhausted.
Just like a battery that is about to run out, one second ago he was excitedly exclaiming to Bai Yao how beautiful the big room is, and the big bathtub in the bathroom can hold two sea otters, and the next second he yawned, his gaze Straight to the bed.
The small battery that had run out of power took two steps towards the bed, threw itself face down, lay on the bed listlessly, rubbed its face into the quilt, and couldn’t even open its eyelids.
But even though Mu Muer was sleepy, when her eyes fell on the Belgian chocolates, her eyes were still bright, she leaned forward on the bed, and picked up one.
As usual, he first stretched his arms and tried to give Bai Yao one, but he refused to eat, so Mu Muer peeled off the tinfoil and stuffed it into his mouth.
After eating, Mu Muer couldn’t help sighing in a low voice: “It’s so sweet.”
His eyes fell on the few remaining chocolates in the box, and seeing that Bai Yao wasn’t paying attention, he took another one, peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth, and he put the rest in his pocket, keeping eat later.
There are no small pockets under the arms, and the pockets and trouser pockets are not too different, and they can also be used.
“What should I do?” Qi Ya couldn’t sit still, he entered the room thinking about where to play first. When he went out with Bai Yao before, he was the one who arranged the itinerary every time, so now he has a sense of sacred mission.
“Should we eat first? But it’s not time for dinner.” Qi Ya chattered half to himself, “Would you like to watch a movie?”
Bai Yao was busy taking off Mu Muer’s shoes, let him lie down on the bed completely, ignored him, and answered after a long time: “Forget it, I guess he has never watched a movie before, what should I do if he feels dizzy.”
“…”
“Then do you want to go shooting?” Qi Crow didn’t hesitate for a second, but he paid attention again, “We haven’t been to the newly opened shooting range yet, I heard it’s very fun, so we’ll enjoy it if we go there. “
“Crazy? You want a sea otter to shoot?” Bai Yao tilted his head towards Mu Muer who was stuffing chocolate into his mouth, and gave Qi Ya a white look.
“If you don’t go, you don’t go, why are you so fierce.” Qi Ya sat on the sofa, “cut” disdainfully, and muttered that I don’t mind it.
Qi Ya was still struggling to die, searching every crack in his head, thinking about what else he could do.
“Will you go drink that night?” What he thought was that after Mu Muer fell asleep, he would go out with Bai Yao and come back after playing until two or three o’clock.
Bai Yao never thought about leaving Mu Muer alone in the room, and refused without looking back: “No, he can’t drink.”
Qi Ya looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back abruptly, and changed into a constipated expression.
Lifelike.
Bai Yao glanced at him, “Why?”
“It’s okay, I just feel like a light bulb.”
The last three still failed to get out.
Mu Mu’er was a little sleepy. He probably had never traveled outside before, and he couldn’t get out of bed once he went to bed. He whimpered and told Bai Yao that he wanted to sleep.
The three of them hadn’t eaten yet, so Bai Yao called and ordered room service, and asked Mu Mu’er to finish eating before going to sleep. Mu Muer was really tired, she couldn’t open her eyes after eating a few mouthfuls, she sat on the chair and nodded. Seeing that he wasn’t hungry, Bai Yao let it go and told him to take a bath and sleep.
Qi Ya was a little regretful, he was reluctant to leave Bai Yao when he stood at the door: “I wanted to play with you more.”
Bai Yao patted him on the shoulder reassuringly: “After you finish your work, let’s go out to play after you get back. You can go wherever you want, just listen to you.”
“All right, all right, take your little sea otter with you when the time comes, such a cute child, it would be a pity not to take it out for a stroll.”
After saying goodbye to Bai Yao, Qi Ya poked his head into the room, smiled and said goodbye to Mu Muer who was lying on the bed, “Little beauty, goodbye, I will come to play with you next time.”
Mu Muer heard the voice, raised her head slowly, met Qi Ya’s gaze and blinked twice, and it took a long time before she subconsciously said “bye”.
“Hey, it’s so cute.” Qi Ya couldn’t move his legs, grinning silly at Mu Muer.
Bai Yao slapped him on the head, and before he went out, he waved his hand lazily: “Let’s go.”
“Well, be careful.”
Early the next morning, Mu Mu’er woke up before Bai Yao.
Maybe because she went to bed too early the day before, Mu Muer opened her eyes before eight o’clock, lying on the bed and waiting for Bai Yao to wake up. He was bored waiting, touching Bai Yao’s fingers for a while, touching his eyelids for a while, thinking why he still hasn’t woken up.
Bai Yao’s hair is a little long, usually tied into a small bun, but now it is scattered on the pillow. Mu Muer looked at it and pinched a handful, playing with it in her hands, trying to make a small braid.
Being played like this, Bai Yao would be surprised if he didn’t wake up.
“I was bald by you in a while, little ancestor.”
He had just woken up, his voice was low and the cohesive ending was a bit hoarse, not his usual voice.
Because Bai Yao gets up earlier than Mu Muer almost every day, he doesn’t often hear Bai Yao’s voice. Mu Muer was stunned for two seconds, then quickly withdrew her hands, and looked at Bai Yao with horror and worry.
After saying a word to him, this is a grievance.
Bai Yao had no choice but to stuff his hair back into Mu Mu’er’s hand, and muttered in a low voice, “I’ll send you off, a bald snow leopard.”
Soon after they got up, they both washed up and were ready to go out.
Mu Muer couldn’t restrain her excitement. She thought Bai Yao was slow in changing clothes, so she waited for him outside the bathroom door. When Bai Yao opened the door, a boy who was so excited that he was about to fly fell into his arms.
“Be a little patient, you know?”
“Why do you have to be patient?” Mu Muer looked up at him innocently, her eyes full of curiosity.
It made sense, Bai Yao was speechless.
Finally ready, Bai Yao was about to open the door when he suddenly remembered something important and stopped abruptly.
Mu Muer followed closely behind him, unprepared, bumped her head against his back, took two steps back while clutching the tip of her sore nose, and looked at Bai Yao with a puzzled expression.
“Mu’er, there is one very important thing you must remember?” Bai Yao waited for Mu Muer to nod before continuing, “No matter what happens here, you can’t become a sea otter, even if there is no one around. No, others cannot know that Muer is a sea otter.”
Mu Muer responded perfunctorily, “Mmm~”
Bai Yao waited for Mu Muer to understand and agreed before going out.
City C is the largest city from Qiaohai Town, and it is full of tall buildings as far as the eye can see. Twenty minutes away from the city center, there is an extremely wide river, which leads directly to the coast where Qiaohai Town is located, and also extends to other cities deeper in the land.
Piers were built on both sides of the river, and many white sailboats were docked on the shore. The river water is fairly clear, and fish can be seen in some places.
Bai Yao took Mu Muer for a walk on the shore for a while, walking casually.
Mu Muer doesn’t like this river very much, and when walking on the bank, she has to walk on the side next to the road. Bai Yao asked him why he didn’t like it, but he couldn’t tell, he just didn’t like it.
After thinking about it, Bai Yao thought it was because the river was a bit close to the sea and he didn’t like the sea that much. Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Bai Yao took Mu Muer back to the city center and bought breakfast at a dessert shop on the street.
Eating while walking, the two slowly walked to a bustling square.
Mu Muer let out a little “wow”, she couldn’t see it at all, she had to pay more attention to everything, even if someone threw a ball of waste paper into the trash can on the street, he would lean on it to see if it was right What a good thing, I’m afraid someone will accidentally throw it wrong.
Bai Yao could only hold his hand all the time to prevent the child from disappearing if he didn’t pay attention.
In fact, Bai Yao didn’t like this kind of environment, he thought it was noisy, all the voices squeezed from all directions, as if they were trying to squeeze people tightly from the heart to the fingertips, making it hard to breathe.
There is no city in the world that Bai Yao really loves. He is used to wandering. The coast and the beach should be the most comfortable places for him to stay.
The last time Bai Yao came to City C was about a year ago. The city has changed a lot and there are many more streets. Last year’s empty and barren land has now become a bustling shopping mall.
Not only are there more people, but even animal spirits seem to have increased.
Mu Muer didn’t know how to distinguish the difference between human and animal spirits, so she didn’t care at all, and was attracted by the dazzling array of shops and billboards on the street.
There was the sound of a car horn on the street, and the attention was immediately diverted, and he turned back to look at the street. Two eyes are not enough for him to see everywhere, he wants to study everything.
Bai Yao paid more attention. There was a hedgehog clerk in the luxury store next to him. The little sister who was handing out leaflets on the street was a flamingo. The uncle who just passed by was something like a mouse, maybe a rat.
The past was too fast, Bai Yao didn’t know much about it.
While walking, Bai Yao tried to explain to Mu Muer how to identify the person who is animalized by breath, but Mu Muer didn’t listen carefully at all, and responded casually to Bai Yao.
He also gave up, and it is okay to teach again in the future.
A stylishly dressed woman with a brand-name leather bag came across the street, passed by Bai Yao, took a second look, and smiled meaningfully.
It’s a weasel.
When she walked a little further, Bai Yao clicked his tongue softly, pressed close to Mu Mu’er’s ear, and asked him, “Did you smell that smell just now?”
Mu Muer didn’t pay much attention, and after thinking about it carefully, she replied hesitantly: “Durian egg tart…”
“…” ancestors.
Each different animal essence has its own unique smell, not a taste, but after smelling it, the brain can associate the closest thing.
For example, the breath of snow leopards is closest to the rain in the winter forest, which is cold and cold, while the breath of sea otters is similar to oak moss after rain, with a bit of warmth under the woody fragrance.
The breath of the weasel spirit is not very good. It ranks third among them, and the first rank is skunk.
Bai Yao was almost amused by him, and lightly squeezed Mu Muer’s hand: “Well, from now on, if you smell durian egg tarts, stay away, they are not easy to mess with.”
The weasel is smart, and when it becomes a human, it also has a cunning that others don’t have. If you don’t pay attention, you will be tricked. It’s best to go around the road, just don’t provoke it.
Mu Muer struggled, and said after a long time, “But the durian egg **** is delicious.”
Bai Yao sighed lightly, how on earth could he explain to the little silly sea otter that he was not talking about durian egg tarts.
The two teenage boys sitting in front of a coffee shop are also snow leopards. They should be a pair of brothers, wearing blue and white school uniforms. Sensing Bai Yao’s breath keenly, the two turned their heads and nodded politely to him.
Bai Yao didn’t expect that there are more and more animal spirits in the city now. Along the way, he met at least ten of them. He remembered that when he was a child, most animal spirits preferred to live in a quieter place, but now they seem to have moved to the city.
Bai Yao has the right to choose, he will not choose to live in the city, at least he doesn’t like such a noisy place.
The man leaning next to a Zhangyang Maybach parked on the roadside was very familiar. Bai Yao could recognize him even in his dreams after seeing him every day for a while.
He took a second look.
The man was dressed in a black suit with the neckline slightly open, looking at his ascetic and cold appearance, he seemed not to be trifled with. He was tall, and he was extremely conspicuous standing there, causing the little girls passing by to take a second look.
It’s a sea otter.
Bai Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, heh, he and Mu Mu’er should get to know each other, maybe they can chat.
The man seemed to have sensed Mu Muer’s aura, and looked this way, but Bai Yao had already turned a corner holding Mu Muer’s hand, and disappeared at the corner of the street. He only saw the backs of the two of them.
