Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little - Chapter 57
After Bai Yao agreed, Mu Yi didn’t want to wait any longer, and wanted to take Mu Mu’er back to City C as soon as possible.
His stay in Qiaohai Town has been much longer than expected, and the company has accumulated a lot of documents to be processed. If he doesn’t go back as soon as possible, he will not be able to process them at that time.
“Mu’er, sit down here.” After leaving the kitchen, Mu Yi pointed to a place at the entrance of the restaurant.
Mu Muer sat there holding the milk tea cup Bai Yao gave him. As soon as he sat down, his attention was attracted by a little squirrel in the yard. He stretched his head and looked at it for a long time, until it ran away god.
Bai Yao didn’t go forward, but leaned against the kitchen door, feeling so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe.
He didn’t dare to go forward, and he didn’t want to hear the conversation between the two, so he could only deceive himself and stand far away, telling himself over and over again that it was a good thing for him that Mu’er left.
“Brother has something to tell you.” Mu Yi said slowly, standing in front of Mu Muer, looking down at him.
Mu Muer nodded, feeling uncomfortable looking at him with her neck up, before Mu Yi could say another word, she took his hand first: “Brother sit too.”
Mu Yi was stunned for a while before slowly sitting down next to Mu Muer, looked at the expression on the boy’s face before opening his mouth, and seriously apologized to him: “Is Muer still angry with brother?”
“Well, Mu’er isn’t angry.” Mu Muer held the cup and touched the back of Mu Yi’s hand twice with one free hand.
It couldn’t be easier to ask him to forgive someone, no matter what others did to him, he has a kind heart and regards everyone as a star in the sky.
He wasn’t even sure why Mu Yi wanted to apologize to himself, the reason was not important to him.
He finished speaking, but did not wait for Mu Yi’s answer, Mu Muer subconsciously turned back to look for Bai Yao, he didn’t know if what he said was right, and he was not sure if it was what Mu Yi wanted to hear. But this time Bai Yao didn’t look at him, let alone comfort him as usual.
Before Mu Mu’er could figure out a reason, Mu Yi held his hand instead: “Does Mu’er like big cities? Would you like to live in the city with your brother?”
In Mu Muer’s mind, a big city is a bustling place that Bai Yao and Bai Yao went to a while ago, with delicious food, big shopping malls, nice clothes, and people hanging out of the windows.
This was something he had never encountered in Qiaohai Town, so he was particularly impressed.
His attention was diverted, he tilted his head, and asked curiously: “I like it, do you have some snacks?”
Mu Yi nodded: “Yes.”
“Is there a big bathtub?”
“I’ll give you as much brother as you want.”
“Then, is there Yaoyao? Without Yaoyao, that won’t work.”
Mu Yi didn’t answer this question right away, after thinking about it, he avoided it, “There are a lot of snacks and bathtubs, Mu’er has as many as she wants.”
Mu Mu’er didn’t speak after listening, just looked at Mu Yi in a daze, with no expression on her face, she couldn’t tell what she was thinking at all.
Mu Yi thought his heart was moved, and just about to continue talking, Mu Muer slowly shook her head and frowned a little.
“Brother didn’t say if there is Yaoyao.” Even though Mu Mu’er was a little slow to respond, she could sense that Mu Yi avoided his question, which happened to be what he cared most about.
“Mu’er, brother is not married and has no children. The family has always reserved a room for you.” Mu Yi’s gaze never left Mu Muer’s eyes, “You and brother go back, I can give you anything.”
“My brother has been waiting for you to come home.”
“Where is Yaoyao, is Yaoyao going too?” Mu Muer turned her head, and said this sentence to Bai Yao.
Holding the cup of milk tea in his hand, he sat on the edge of the chair and swayed his legs slightly, looking at Bai Yao obediently. Bai Yao usually stays very close to him, but for some reason today, he didn’t come over to hold hands with him.
To him, snacks and bathtubs are not important, he just wants Bai Yao.
Between her elder brother and Bai Yao, Mu Muer felt that Bai Yao needed her more.
Bai Yao tried his best to hide the reluctance in his eyes.
They are two different individuals, and it is impossible for him to be with Mu Muer forever. To put it bluntly, there is no relationship between them that cannot be separated forever.
Maybe if we can continue to live together, there will be in the future, but it’s too late now.
Before Mu Yi could say anything more, Bai Yao finally couldn’t hold back, stepped forward and said to him in a deep voice: “Let me talk to him alone.”
Mu Yi hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and agreed.
After he went out, Bai Yao forced himself to be ruthless, squatted down in front of Mu Muer, making himself a little lower than him, and softly called his name, “Muer.”
Mu Mu’er couldn’t detect what Bai Yao was going to say next, but he could feel that something was different from usual.
After his elder brother came, Bai Yao kept away from him intentionally or unintentionally, and only hugged him and held hands with him when Mu Yi couldn’t see him.
This feeling made him feel uneasy, even a little scared, a bit like being chased by other sea otters after finding food.
He tried his best to escape every time, but failed several times.
He thought about it for a long time, thinking that Bai Yao’s emotions were angry with him, and gradually began to get scared. He touched Bai Yao’s arm lightly twice, and said before him: “Yao Yao doesn’t want to give birth to Mu’er.” gas.”
Bai Yao’s heart tightened, and he tried his best to resist the urge to hug him, “I’m not angry, Mu’er is going to live in a big city with her brother, and there will be a lot of snacks. Mu’er can tell her brother anything she wants.”
“Will Yaoyao go with you?” Mu Muer had a little hope in her eyes, “Is Yaoyao here?”
He thought it was like the time he went out to play with Qi Ya, but now that he has an extra brother, he would still go shopping for nice clothes, eat delicious food, and watch weasels smelling of durian on the street like last time.
Bai Yao shook his head.
Seeing his denial, Mu Muer tilted her head in doubt: “Why not?”
“Yaoyao’s home is here, Yaoyao can only stay here.” Bai Yao gently squeezed Mu Muer’s fingers.
“Then Mu’er’s home is also here, and I want to stay with Yaoyao.” After Mu Mu’er finished speaking with a smile, she suddenly understood something, and added hesitantly, “Yaoyao…doesn’t want to share the family with Muer Yet?”
He spoke this sentence very slowly, carefully guessing Bai Yao’s thoughts, his eyes were full of worry that he was afraid that he had guessed right.
Since he met Bai Yao two months ago, he has long regarded Qiaohai Town as his home.
“Mu’er is very good, and she can be even better.” Mu Muer put the cup in her hand on the table, put her hands together on her knees, straightened her back a little, and tilted her head slightly to look at Bai Yao , with a flattering expression, especially like a puppy trying to please its master.
Bai Yao’s fingertips were numb, his heart was bitter and astringent, the darkest corner of his heart even began to resent Mu Yi, thinking why he appeared, to **** Mu Mu’er away from him.
He thought for a moment if it would be possible to steal Mu Muer away, let him transform, hug him and run away to the small island that can only be reached by ferry, and build a small wooden house on it. being disturbed.
Probably not.
Before this idea was fully formed, Bai Yao suppressed it, trying to make himself smile naturally: “My brother also likes Mu’er, and my brother also wants a soft little sea otter.”
“Then brother finds another Mu’er, this Mu’er is already owned, and this Mu’er belongs to Yaoyao.”
“There are still other little sea otters in the sea.” Mu Muer’s voice revealed anxiety, “This little sea otter belongs to Yaoyao.”
Bai Yao was so uncomfortable that his heart ached and he felt helpless. He wanted to coax Mu Muer little by little. If he could give him three days, or let him spend a week slowly talking to Mu Muer, Can be better than now.
But now he can only pretend that nothing happened.
He can only say:
“Mu’er remember to tell your brother if you have anything to do. If you are cold, hungry, or tired, you have to tell me.”
“There are many people in the city, so remember not to go out alone. There are cars on the road, so you must be careful when walking.”
“Eat more meals, but you can’t eat small snacks at night, and you should eat less sweet ones.”
…
Bai Yao didn’t know when he had so many words, he couldn’t stop once he started.
He clearly knew that Mu Muer had an older brother, and Mu Yi would definitely take care of him, but he still couldn’t stop talking.
After talking for a long time, Bai Yao stopped to take a breath, and heard Mu Muer’s weak and crying words.
“Yaoyao doesn’t want Mu’er anymore?”
“I won’t eat scallops anymore, I won’t eat them, Yaoyao likes them, so let Yaoyao eat them.” He thought for a while, and his voice became more and more aggrieved, “Mu’er won’t eat anything.”
“Yaoyao is not angry, I will give Yaoyao all the shells I find in the future… scallops, oysters, all belong to Yaoyao.” Mu Muer’s eyes were red, and she spoke incoherently.
Bai Yao felt that he really liked this boy, so much that he wished he could turn himself into a kangaroo, so that he could have a small pocket and put Mu Mu’er in it.
He didn’t know how to comfort Mu Mu’er at all, everything seemed to be deceiving, nothing seemed to make the little sea otter willing to leave him.
He squeezed Mu Muer’s hand, touched it over and over again, and wanted to raise his hand to wipe his tears, but halfway up the hand, it fell down again.
“elder brother……”
At some point, Mu Yi had already returned, standing behind Bai Yao, looking at Mu Mu’er whose face was full of tears with a complicated expression.
Mu Mu’er raised her hand to wipe away her tears. Seeing that Bai Yao didn’t speak, she became more and more anxious. Apart from Bai Yao, only Mu Yi was left. He stretched out his arm to grab Muyi’s hand, shaking it gently.
“Yaoyao wants to drive Mu’er away.” His voice was nasal and his eyes were red, begging, “Brother.”
He wanted Mu Yi to tell Bai Yao that he would not leave and that he would be obedient, very obedient. Mu Muer had no idea that Mu Yi was the one who insisted on taking her away.
Mu Yi patiently coaxed Mu Muer a few words, “Muer is thinking about this place, so you can come back and see. You can come back anytime in the future, brother will accompany you.”
Even though he said this, Bai Yao knew in his heart that the possibility of Mu Yi bringing Mu Muer back was very small.
It’s not just something that I have nothing to do with them, but Mu Muer will also establish her own circle when she arrives in the city. Mu Yi will find him a school, find a tutor, increase the number of people around him, and give him a life as complete as possible.
After all, Qiaohai Town could not become his home.
“We just went out to have fun, to see what the city looks like, Mu’er, remember, that’s your home.” Mu Yi said a lot, but Mu Muer didn’t respond, her eyes were dull.
After a while, he said softly, “No, it’s not home.”
Mu Yi paused for a moment, did not respond, turned to Bai Yao and said, “Help him pack his things, he and I will wait here.”
It turned out to be leaving now…
Bai Yao wanted to say something else, but Mu Yi moved his body, blocking his view of Mu Mu’er, his eyes were firm and steadfast.
After all, he didn’t say anything, turned around and walked to the second floor.
After Bai Yao walked up the stairs, Mu Muer’s eyes followed him all the time, and the desire to follow was revealed in her eyes.
But Mu Yi didn’t let Mu Muer look at Bai Yao, said something to him in a low voice, raised his hand to pinch his chin to make him turn his head to look at him.
Bai Yao saw it at a glance, but felt a pain in his heart. He thought touching Mu Muer’s chin was only his own right.
Mu Yi is his elder brother, so he also has the same rights.
Bai Yao mechanically walked up the stairs and opened the door of the apartment, but instead of going into the bedroom, he stood in the middle of the living room on the second floor in a daze.
It turned out that he really had to leave, and he had no way to keep him, no way to fight for his little sea otter to stay.
The suitcase was in the closet, Bai Yao took it out and walked around the apartment. It wasn’t until now that he realized that Mu Mu’er had been here for just over two months, and there were traces of him in every corner.
A small stall of abalone shells neatly arranged on the coffee table, a small sea otter doll, plastic shells placed in a glass display case…
There are also a few nuts stuffed in every drawer in the kitchen. Mu Muer saw the little squirrels doing this and learned from them.
A space in the closet was vacated for him, and now it is full of clothes, all of which Bai Yao thought would be comfortable to wear, and finally couldn’t resist buying them all for Mu Muer.
There was extra citrus and lemon body wash in the bathroom, and Bai Yao also took two bottles and stuffed them into the box for Mu Muer.
There are so many things, but all of them are stuffed in one suitcase. When the zipper is closed, it seems that Mu Muer has never been here, and the Golden Shell restaurant is still the same.
It was packed quickly, and Bai Yao walked down the stairs slowly with the suitcase. Mu Muer was still sitting in the original position, and Mu Yi was squatting in front of him, talking to him.
Hearing the sound, Mu Yi raised his head and took a look, then took Mu Muer’s hand to get up, and brushed away the broken hair on his forehead, “Muer, let’s go.”
He took Mu Mu’er to Bai Yao, took the suitcase in his hand, and only said “Thank you”.
Before Mu Yi could turn around, Bai Yao subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop him, and said softly in a voice that only Mu Yi could hear: “Remember to bring him back sometime, please.”
The voice of the last three words was extremely low, and Bai Yao was in a daze for a moment, and couldn’t even believe that he begged just like that.
Mu Yi looked at Bai Yao for a while, and finally agreed.
But the moment Mu Yi pulled him to go out, Mu Muer suddenly turned around, grabbed Bai Yao’s hand, and held it tightly.
“Yaoyao together.” He raised his eyes to look at Bai Yao, with a bit of pleading and careful flattery in his tone. Mu Mu’er’s other hand was still held by Mu Yi, but he tried his best to move closer to Bai Yao’s side, with a firmness in his eyes that Bai Yao had never seen before.
Mu Muer took Bai Yao with one hand and Mu Yi with the other, and walked towards the door first.
After walking out of the restaurant, he refused to let go of Bai Yao’s hand without saying anything, but the firmness in his eyes gradually disappeared and he became scared.
He held Bai Yao’s hand tighter and tighter, and his eyes began to turn red again.
Seeing him like this, Mu Yi said casually: “I’ll be back in a while, we can see you again in the evening.”
Bai Yao frowned, and was about to say “Don’t lie to him”, but swallowed the words again.
This way…maybe it’s easier.
Mu Mu’er has never been deceived by anyone. Hearing what Mu Yi said, she believed it to be true. Her eyes widened immediately, and she raised her head and asked him, “Are you coming back at night?”
“Well, let’s look for Yaoyao at night.” Mu Yi raised his hand to straighten Mu Mu’er’s somewhat messy collar, “Let’s go out and play now.”
If they can still see each other at night, Mu Muer feels that she can still persuade Bai Yao to let her stay at night. He has to be obedient, so that Bai Yao will like him and be willing to let him stay here.
Does Bai Yao like well-behaved little sea otters?
Mu Mu’er didn’t have the slightest intention to be on guard, and he believed whatever the people next to him said.
What’s more, it was the two people he trusted the most who were talking, so he didn’t need to think too much, he believed it easily and could see Bai Yao at night.
Gradually loosening the hand holding Bai Yao, Mu Muer said goodbye to Bai Yao in a soft voice, as if coquettish: “Then, Yaoyao will see you tonight.”
He just felt that he was going out to play with Mu Yi now, and he didn’t understand why Bai Yao couldn’t be together, but Mu Mu’er would not question what Bai Yao asked him to do.
Mu Muer followed Mu Yi to the side of the car step by step, he looked down at the suitcase in Mu Yi’s hand, and stared at it a few more times. A big suitcase is good. He remembered that he also brought a big suitcase with him when he went out to play with Bai Yao. Didn’t he also come back later?
Mu Yi put the things away, and opened the co-pilot’s door for Mu Muer. Mu Mu’er didn’t notice at all, and kept looking back at Bai Yao.
It seemed that a stone was stuck in Bai Yao’s throat, which made him almost suffocate. He wanted to go back to the house directly, but he couldn’t look away, so he could only pretend that everything was normal.
He also wanted to hug Mu Muer one last time, to touch his head, and to hear him call his name.
I also want to see him change form, and want to rub the soft fur of the little sea otter.
But no.
There should be no more chances in the future.
Mu Mu’er couldn’t tell whether Bai Yao’s current mood was good or bad, and after climbing into the car, she obediently waited for Mu Yi to lower the window. Mu Yi asked him to put on his seat belt, but Mu Muer didn’t hear it at all, and it was useless if he heard it, he didn’t know what a seat belt was at all.
When Mu Yi fastened his seat belt, Mu Muer lay on the car door and stared at Bai Yao, unable to hide the grievance on his face. He couldn’t figure out why he wanted to go with his brother, but he still wanted to be obedient.
His voice was a little soft, with a hint of coquettishness, and he said to Bai Yao, “Yaoyao, Muer wants to eat seafood fried rice tonight. Can Yaoyao prepare it for Muer?”
Bai Yao forced himself to nod his head, and smiled at Mu Muer as usual, with a bit of frivolity at the corner of his mouth.
The car turned around, Mu Yi stepped on the brakes when he passed Bai Yao, and seemed to have something to say, but he didn’t say anything after all.
The car turned the corner and disappeared down the gravel road.
