Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little - Chapter 60

When he got downstairs and walked to the door, Bai Yao realized that he was in a hurry to go upstairs with Mu Mu’er in his arms. He didn’t even close the door. The entrance of the restaurant was already soaked by the rain, and the floor was covered with water. , There are also a lot of dead branches and leaves that have been blown in.

He ignored the mess on the ground, stood at the door with folded arms and waited for a while, half a minute later, Mu Yi turned the corner of the street and walked towards the door of the restaurant.

Mu Yi didn’t seem to expect that Bai Yao was at the door, his eyes fell on him, he stopped suddenly, he was stunned for a while, and then slowly walked up the steps.

The sound of the rain was loud, and the raindrops hit the ground and splashed in groups of water. The location of the restaurant is at the height of the town, and the water on the ground almost forms a stream, mixed with leaves, flowing down the gravel road.

The small town was shrouded in misty water vapor, and in the distance was the even sound of waves hitting the beach by the strong wind.

“He… is he there?” Mu Yi’s voice was almost inaudible amidst the rain, and there was a little undetectable trill in the end.

It was raining and cool, and Mu Yi wore a camel-colored long trench coat, which was stained dark brown by the rain. His face was exhausted from lack of sleep, and his eyes were smudged with a layer of black and blue.

It was raining heavily outside, and in just half a minute, Mu Yi’s body was already half wet, with drops of water dripping from his hair. He was in a panic, his hands in his sleeves were trembling slightly, his fingertips curled up in his palms, but he didn’t go to the eaves, as if as long as Bai Yao shook his head, he would turn around and leave.

Bai Yao tensed and loosened his body, forced himself to take a deep breath, and finally responded through clenched teeth.

“Well, just fell asleep.”

Muyi’s shoulders visibly slackened. He let out a long breath, and then lifted his foot into the room.

Bai Yao ignored him, closed the door and went upstairs directly. There were footsteps behind him, and he knew that Mu Yi had followed without turning his head.

Going upstairs to the bedroom door, Mu Yi finally said, “It’s because I didn’t like him, come on…”

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Yao’s footsteps suddenly stopped at the door of the room, and Mu Yi was blocked behind him and was forced to stop.

Bai Yao interrupted him, with a bit of irrepressible anger in his tone: “You are his brother, and you should be the one who should protect him. Do you know how much rain is falling outside?

“He has been with you for less than a day, and it is entirely your responsibility.”

Mu Yi paused, as if he didn’t expect Bai Yao to get angry, so he didn’t answer.

“This is the second time you have lost him.” Bai Yao’s voice was a little cold, and he did not deliberately suppress the dissatisfaction in his eyes, “Do you know that your brother fell?”

After hearing this sentence, Mu Yi’s eyes widened bit by bit, he froze in place, he opened his lips slightly, but he couldn’t make a sound.

“He…” There was a bit of regret in the voice that couldn’t be concealed.

Bai Yao interrupted him: “He’s fine.”

Before Mu Yi could think of anything to say, Bai Yao had already pushed open the bedroom door and walked into the room. He sat down again by the bed, took Mu Muer’s hand, and held it tightly with both hands.

Mu Yi hesitated for a while, then followed in, but did not go to the bed, but stayed at the door, hesitating.

For a long time, the two of them didn’t speak, quietly looking at the boy who was fast asleep on the bed.

“Since I brought him to the hotel in the morning, he asked me when I would come back to see you. I coaxed him to say that at night, he has been waiting. He didn’t cry or make a fuss, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him.”

“He didn’t want to sleep at night, probably because he couldn’t come back.” Mu Yi spoke again after a long time, “I let him sleep first, and read documents in the next room, so I didn’t have time to visit him.”

“He’s been awake since he went to bed at eleven, still shaking, calling your name.”

Bai Yao didn’t answer, but he held Mu Mu’er’s hand tighter, and helped him pull up the quilt a little, carefully covering it tightly.

“I thought he would be fine after a meeting, but I didn’t expect him to run out.”

This incident was not entirely Mu Yi’s fault, neither of them seemed to have done anything wrong, but Bai Yao wanted to yell at him, and even grabbed his collar, asking him why he didn’t protect Mu Mu’er well.

With a person who wants to protect, everyone will lose a little bit of reason.

Mu Mu’er usually loves to sleep so much that she can stay up until the early hours of the morning without being able to fall asleep. For a moment, Bai Yao thought that it was because he was not used to the new environment, but then he suddenly thought that during the few days when they went to C City to play, Mu Muer slept well.

He belatedly realized that Mu Muer might not be able to sleep because she was not by his side.

There was still a soft touch in his hand, Bai Yao looked down and knew it in his heart.

He lowered his voice and asked, “Did you not hold hands with him?”

Mu Yi wondered, “Why hold hands?”

Bai Yao didn’t answer.

It seems that no matter how you explain it to Mu Yi now, it doesn’t matter. Bai Yao selfishly hoped that Mu Mu’er was the only one in the world who knew about Mu Mu’er’s inability to sleep without holding hands.

In this way, I will be the only person in the world who holds hands with him.

Very selfish and domineering, Bai Yao also understands.

After sleeping so many times holding hands with Mu Mu’er, it was the first time that Bai Yao noticed that he could completely wrap his hand in his own, the size was just right.

Even the temperature and touch are all familiar and dependent on him.

This is his treasure, and only after losing it did he realize that his heart hurts uncomfortably.

He suddenly remembered that when he first met Mu Muer, on the fourth night they slept together, Mu Muer asked him to hold hands when she got into bed. Bai Yao wanted to tease him, and asked if he couldn’t sleep without holding hands.

As a result, Mu Muer nodded seriously, and explained to him sincerely: “Because it will float away, and it will be bad if it floats away.”

Mu Yi was still waiting for him to speak, Bai Yao snorted softly, and replied casually: “You sea otters, don’t you have to hold hands when you sleep? You tell him that we can see each other at night, of course he has been thinking about it. You If he is not allowed to come back, he will definitely be sad and sad.”

“He understands much more than you think. If there is something that is hidden from him, he will definitely know.”

“I didn’t…” Mu Yi paused for a second, then changed his words, “I thought he would forget it after a while.”

How could it be possible, Mu Muer remembered everything about Bai Yao, if Bai Yao told him that he would be back in five minutes, Mu Muer would count the minutes and seconds until she saw him.

This little sea otter has always had him in his heart.

“Don’t lie to him, no matter what you lie to him, he will be sad when he understands.” Bai Yao knew that he shouldn’t say more, but he couldn’t hold back, and poured out what he wanted to say, “I know you It’s his brother, but in six years, he’s definitely changed a lot. You can’t coax him the way you talked to him when he was a kid.”

It took Mu Yi a long time to answer, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his voice: “I didn’t expect…”

“You are his elder brother. You have to think about things that others can’t think of. It is your responsibility to take care of him.” After all, he is an outsider, and it would be inappropriate to talk too much, but Bai Yao couldn’t stop talking.

He didn’t dare to think about what to do if Mu Mu’er got lost. He hadn’t put on his shoes yet, so the fall was not serious, but what if he hurt his leg.

Outside the restaurant is the stairs leading to the beach, the road is slippery in rainy days, in case Mu Muer didn’t see clearly and fell down the stairs…

Bai Yao’s heart aches when he thinks about the consequences.

“His mind may still be a child, but he is not a child after all. If you have anything to do, tell him clearly, don’t coax him like an eight-year-old child.”

“The reason why he is like this is not your fault, but you have to have the minimum respect for him.”

Bai Yao felt a soreness in his heart, his chest was congested, and it spread to his throat. He swallowed a few mouthfuls before he managed to suppress it.

Mu Yi was rendered speechless by Bai Yao’s words, and the bedroom fell silent.

Maybe because she felt that the surroundings were a bit noisy, Mu Muer turned over on the bed, frowned and snorted.

Bai Yao squeezed his hand lightly, touched the back of his hand with his thumb, Mu Muer gradually relaxed, and instinctively leaned towards Bai Yao.

He is much more dependent on himself than Bai Yao imagined. Yaoyao

Half of Bai Yao felt worried, and the other half was uncontrollable joy.

Everyone likes the feeling of being relied on, and Bai Yao is no exception, not to mention that the one who relies on him is this boy who is so good, so good that he doesn’t know what words to use to describe him.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a little wind, and the rain was blown obliquely, crackling on the window, adding a little noise to the quietness of the house.

“Do you like my brother?” This sentence was mixed with the sound of rain, the tone was calm, and it was impossible to hear what Mu Yi was thinking.

“I like it, who doesn’t like it.” Bai Yao didn’t look back, looked at Mu Mu’er’s slightly open mouth after falling asleep, and chuckled.

After the little thing fell asleep, he didn’t have any sleeping appearance at all, his mouth was slightly open, and he seemed to be drooling after a while, only his arms and legs were placed in a normal way. His face puffed up a little like a chipmunk, as if he was sulking, but also full of nuts.

Bai Yao couldn’t help poking it lightly with his fingertips, to see if it would deflate a little. No, it feels very soft, and the skin is smooth and delicate.

“He’s so cute and so obedient, so obedient that you don’t even want to say a harsh word to him. It seems that when you’re with him, the word ‘no’ completely disappears from the world.” Bai Yao spoke slowly, word by word. Seriously.

At the end, he added another sentence: “Who doesn’t like a furry little sea otter who likes to rub his face.”

There was no sound behind him, and after a long while: “You know in your heart that I’m not talking about the kind of liking.”

Bai Yao gave a “hmm” and didn’t say anything else.

“I don’t know what kind of relationship you have. In fact, I don’t think I can control it. According to what you said, he is already an adult.”

Bai Yao was stunned for a long time before realizing what Mu Yi referred to by “you”.

“I don’t know… what your liking should be like. But he is my younger brother, and I can accept whatever he does.” Mu Yi wanted to say something, but he didn’t know how to say it. After thinking about it, he said, “From I didn’t figure it out until a year after I couldn’t find him, and the biggest regret in my life is not realizing it sooner.”

“Maybe earlier…” Mu Yi didn’t finish speaking.

The corners of Bai Yao’s mouth rose slightly, but with a bit of bitterness, he sighed: “It’s not a matter of liking or not, I think it doesn’t matter if I like him or not.

“We are all human beings transformed from small animals. The world has no tolerance for us anymore. I don’t want him to be hurt any more.”

Bai Yao paused, and added a word in his heart.

Even if it doesn’t work at all, I will feel bad.

Mu Muer is so special, there is not even anyone similar to him in the whole world, and I can’t find another Mu Muer in the whole ocean.

And Bai Yao happened to like his cute and just right special.

Mu Mu’er slept so soundly, she still squeezed towards Bai Yao in a daze, she made sure she couldn’t get any closer to him before stopping, and put her face on the back of his hand.

“Besides, whether you like it or not…” Bai Yao paused, “I can’t control it.”

This is his little sea otter, his fluffy little sea otter, he picked it up, he raised it at home for more than two months, it is his.

Even the extra soft flesh on Mu Muer’s face is his credit. I don’t know when, there are only such big and small little sea otters left in his world.

Mu Muer had already filled his heart, occupying every gap domineeringly. If someone came again, he would frown and whisper, go away, this is Muer’s Yaoyao.

Bai Yao wasn’t even sure if the little sea otter really left, whether the empty place in his heart would be torn apart, and it would never be possible to fill it again.

At this moment, Bai Yao made up his mind. He got up slightly, and said seriously, “I regret it, you can’t take him away, I won’t let you. I can keep him safe and give him a home. I can’t compare to what you can give him. “

“If he chooses you, I will admit defeat. You are his brother, and I trust you. But he came to me in the rain. Do you know how afraid he is of rain?”

In fact, Mu Mu’er’s hair was not completely dry, so Bai Yao raised his hand to rub the few strands of hair scattered on his forehead.

He felt uneasy, as if he had been stuffed with a rock that would hit upwards and downwards at other times. Bai Yao was ready to argue with Mu Yi, but he didn’t hear his answer for a long time.

When Mu Yi finally opened his mouth, Bai Yao had already bit his jaw so painfully.

“He’s a bit special, it’s a lifetime thing to like him, you have to be willing to take care of him, be with him, and give him some of your home.” Mu Yi said slowly.

Bai Yao gave a “hmm” without even thinking about it.

Not to mention giving him a little bit of the home, probably since a few months ago, when the soft little sea otter squirmed into the golden shell and looked at Bai Yao pitifully, refusing to leave, this small restaurant has been It is Mu Muer’s home.

“Let him stay.” Mu Yi said softly, “I think he will be much happier with you.”

Bai Yao’s heart tightened, and he even lowered his breathing, for fear that what he just heard was a hallucination.

The sound of the rain gradually died down, and the sporadic sound of raindrops hitting the cobblestones leaked in through the gaps in the living room windows, and the wind chimes on the eaves rang a few times with the wind.

The street lights in the distance flickered on and off, the town was quiet and peaceful, and even the buildings were sleeping.

“Maybe it’s enough for me to find him.” Mu Yi continued, with a steady and low voice, “He is my younger brother, but I’m probably not the only one in the world who cares about him.”
