Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little - Chapter 55
The river in the center of City C is connected to the coast where Qiaohai Town is located. After Mu Muer transformed into a sea otter, she swam along the river to the sea. Later, she met other sea otters and lived with them for six years.
But sea otter spirits are different from real sea otters after all, so it’s no wonder Mu Muer has been bullied all the time.
After he finished speaking, Bai Yao added: “The friend Mu’er mentioned is a sea otter.”
Mu Yi didn’t respond for a long time, and after taking a few deep breaths, he slowly nodded to show he understood.
“Actually they’re not friends, they don’t want to be friends with Mu’er.” Mu Muer continued talking, thinking of what to say, “One is more fierce than the other, and it still hurts after being bitten.”
Holding the doll sea otter in his arms, he curled himself into a small ball on the seat.
Seeing that he didn’t continue, Mu Yi changed the subject and asked him: “Are you going to be hungry? What will you eat when you’re hungry?”
Mu Yi asked him what, Mu Muer said without thinking about what she was thinking: “What other sea otters let Muer eat, Muer will eat what.”
“The scallops that Mu’er found, you have to give them. If you don’t give them, you can bite them. If you can’t find anything to eat, if you can’t hand them over, you will be bitten.” Mu Muer nodded, “Well, it hurts a bit.”
“Without scallops, Mu’er eats and eats seaweed.”
Hearing this, Mu Yi’s complexion changed, his jaw was tensed, and his eyes were a little bit sinister.
Mu Muer may understand a little less than others, but he is careful, he will observe other people’s expressions, such as now, he quickly found that something is wrong with Mu Yi.
He slowly let go of Bai Yao’s hand, leaned forward a little, tilted his head to look at Mu Yi’s face. Mu Mu’er was a little afraid of Mu Yi, but seeing that he looked a little depressed, she hesitated for a moment, and then slowly stretched out her hand, like pulling Bai Yao’s hand, to touch Mu Yi’s hand.
It’s just that he didn’t dare to hold it, he just touched the back of his hand lightly, covered Mu Yi’s with his own hand, half of his body was retreating, as if if Mu Yi attacked him, he would run away immediately.
Mu Muer is very kind-hearted, he doesn’t want others to be sad, he doesn’t care about any reason, he just hopes that everyone around him can be as happy as himself.
“Brother is not sad, seaweed is also delicious.” He muttered in a low voice.
How could it be delicious? Sea otters are carnivores and only like to eat crabs, abalones, sea urchins and other shellfish. Although eating seaweed can survive, it is impossible to eat enough.
Seeing that Mu Yi didn’t speak, Mu Muer gave a small “hmm” anxiously, and looked back at Bai Yao helplessly.
“Not too chewy, but delicious.”
Anyway, Mu Yi is Mu Muer’s elder brother, and Mu Muer’s memory of his elder brother only stays in the last fight they had. Let him go out, what to do, he has no impression.
But apart from their quarrel, Mu Muer vaguely remembered that her brother was very kind to her, letting herself ride on his shoulders and running around the street holding his ankles when she was a child.
When he was younger, he even secretly transformed with him to scare their parents before they got to them.
The one that left a deep impression on him was when firecrackers were set off during the Chinese New Year. After being lit, the fireworks that were supposed to fly into the sky somehow exploded at their feet.
Mu Yi reacted very quickly, hugged him to protect his chest before the firecrackers exploded, and did not let the firecrackers hurt him, but he himself was burned to his calf.
When she got older, Mu Mu’er didn’t remember so much. It seemed that her elder brother became a bit strict. He no longer rode on his shoulders to play around. After the transformation, her elder brother would still get angry with him, saying it was wrong.
He didn’t know if the relationship between himself and Mu Yi was a little bit estranged, but without his parents, Mu Yi became more like an adult, and more like his parents. Mu Yi will start to manage Mu Mu’er’s homework, find him a tutor, control his playing time, let him pass the exam to be the top three in the class, and even find him a high school.
Mu Mu’er gradually began to alienate such Mu Yi, and the relationship between them also became colder after their parents left.
But no matter what, Mu Yi is still Mu Muer’s elder brother.
He is the only other person in the whole world besides Bai Yao and Mu Muer who knows and subconsciously relies on unconditionally.
Mu Yi’s eyes fell on Mu Mu’er’s hand on the back of his hand, and he even breathed lightly, as if he was afraid that a sudden movement of his would scare the boy away like a little hummingbird.
Before he could speak, Mu Muer had already taken her hand back, held it with Bai Yao again, and pressed it against Bai Yao’s side again.
An imperceptible reluctance flashed in Mu Yi’s eyes.
“It’s okay, Muer has found Yaoyao!” Mu Muer yelled a little.
Bai Yao’s shoulder was pressed against Mu Mu’er’s soft face, and the boy leaned on him like a little sugar glider.
A thirteen-year-old boy can’t find a home, doesn’t even remember how he became a human, can’t ask others for help, and can’t speak. The only way to survive is to live by the sea with sea otters.
He didn’t dare to think about how Mu Mu’er came here for so many years. When he thought about it, he felt a throbbing pain in his heart, as if he was trapped by barbed wire, and when he struggled, thin beads of blood ooze out.
“Yaoyao gave Mu’er big scallops to eat, and water!” Mu Muer was afraid that Mu Yi would not understand what he meant, so she jumped up from the chair a little, and pointed to the inflatable swimming pool in the yard outside the window for Mu Yi to see.
“Look, brother!”
Mu Yi followed the direction Mu Muer pointed, and saw the Barbie pink inflatable swimming pool in the yard at a glance.
Usually Mu Muer doesn’t go swimming, Bai Yao will move the swimming pool to the corner of the yard, half of it can be seen from this angle.
The morning sun just shone on the backyard, and the pool was filled with water yesterday, and the reflected sunlight shone brightly, reflecting slightly with the water waves.
“I can’t see it, you like pink.” Mu Yi’s eyes fell on the Ba La La Xiao Moxian printed on the swimming pool, and he couldn’t help but say something more.
Bai Yao chuckled: “I like pink, purple, red.”
Before Mu Yi could answer, the phone in his pocket rang. He frowned and took out the phone, glanced at the caller information displayed on it, and hung up without answering.
A minute later, the phone rang again.
After putting the phone back into his pocket, Mu Yi rubbed his brows before saying, “I can’t stay in Qiaohai Town for too long, I have something to deal with at work.”
He didn’t explain the whole thing, but both of them understood the meaning of it.
Bai Yao knew that he would always talk about this matter, but at this moment, he still felt that it was too soon, wishing that this moment would never come.
After all, this is not Mu Muer’s home, no matter how much Bai Yao wants Mu Muer to stay, this matter is beyond his control.
“Mu’er.” Mu Yi waited for Mu Muer to look at him, then smiled at him, “Go and pour some more water for brother, okay?”
“Oh.” Mu Muer looked at the glass water glass that Mu Yi hadn’t taken a few sips from in front of her, she picked it up obediently with both hands, got up and walked to the kitchen.
Bai Yao’s gaze stayed on Mu Mu’er until he entered the kitchen and was out of sight, then he slowly said, “If you have anything to say, you can say it directly in front of him, don’t hide it.”
But Mu Yi shook his head, and said: “Some things, it might be better to talk to you alone.”
“Speak, I’m listening.”
“I want to take my brother away and take him back to the city.”
my brother.
Mu Yi bit these three words very hard.
Bai Yao didn’t speak.
This was within Mu Yi’s expectation, he didn’t wait too long, and continued to talk.
“It’s my fault that he became like this, I don’t know if I can make it up, but I want to try.”
“Besides, aren’t you a snow leopard? I met a snow leopard in business. I know you like to be alone.”
“Yeah.” That’s what he said, but Bai Yao smiled and said, “But I don’t like it now.”
Bai Yao didn’t know why Mu Yi asked himself this way.
In fact, Mu Yi doesn’t need to be like this, he is Mu Muer’s relative, although Mu Muer has grown up, but he is special after all, Mu Yi can be regarded as his guardian.
If Mu Yi is determined to take Mu Muer away, then Bai Yao has no right to speak, and there is no need to ask for his consent, no matter how hard he tries to keep him, it will be useless.
It was even said that Mu Yi could leave Qiaohai Town by pulling Mu Muer now, no matter what Bai Yao said, he agreed or disagreed.
After all, he is an outsider, he met Mu Muer, and decided to take in this little stray sea otter, only because he was soft-hearted that day and rescued him.
Bai Yao has never believed in fate or that meeting anyone depends on fate.
He just believed that Mu Muer had become an indispensable part of his life. This little sea otter found a small gap in his heart, got in and made a nest in it, and didn’t forget to turn around and gently Lick that crack and be patient to let it heal.
When Bai Yao made his heart a home for him, Mu Muer also covered his chest warmly in return, and lit a small lamp in this home, so that in Bai Yao’s world, No matter the day or night, it is always bright and bright.
As long as Mu Muer is always around, the light in Bai Yao’s heart will never go out, because he ignites it and is ignited by him.
