Bai Yao didn't bother to explain, he threw his phone on the coffee table, closed his eyes and rolled over on the hammock, he didn't sleep well last night, now he just needs to catch up on sleep.

There was a wind in the morning, but it has stopped now, and the surroundings are a little quiet, only the cicadas are coming from the banyan trees on both sides of the street in the distance. The seaside is indeed suitable for the elderly to live in. Bai Yao has lived here for almost five years. When the night is quiet and there is only the sound of the sea washing against the beach, he occasionally wonders what it would be like to live in the city.

But he just thought about it, Bai Yao was sure that he would not like that kind of noisy environment, he might spend most of his life in Qiaohai Town, and it was even more likely that he would live in this small town all his life.

Bai Yao was dazed and about to fall asleep when he suddenly heard a soft sigh beside him.

He woke up, and turned his head to see that the little sea otter was lying on the ground, with his tongue sticking out a little bit, a little listless. Its fur was limp and limp, like a puddle of melted gray sesame-flavored ice cream.

The climate by the seaside is not too hot, and it is quite comfortable when there is wind, but if there is no wind, the hot sun is like being stuffed in a steamer, and it is too hot to breathe.

Bai Yao suddenly understood.

Going on like this is definitely not an option, the weather is too hot, and the thick fur of the little sea otter is to keep out the cold in the icy sea water, so it is not suitable for living on land all the time.

It needs to be cooled in water.

There is no air-conditioning installed in the restaurant, and it is useless to open the door to ventilate, and it is useless to enter the room to enjoy the cool. Being exposed to the sun every day, Bai Yao was suddenly afraid that it would get sick from the sun.

Sea otters are aquatic animals. It would be much better if they can stay in the water, but they can't let them soak in the bathtub every day. After all, they are not raising fish.

If you can get an inflatable swimming pool, let it swim in it should be very useful, and you can add a little ice cubes in it when the weather is too hot. When Bai Yao thought about it, he went straight to it, reached for his phone, and checked the inflatable children's pool online.

There are many different options, blue, pink, transparent, and various cartoon patterns. Bai Yao searched for a long time but couldn't find a relatively mature style. The inflatable swimming pools are basically toys for children, and they are all cartoonish.

He disliked putting it in the yard to make his eyes hot, and thought about forgetting it, but when he saw the little sea otter lying flat on the ground to dissipate heat, his heart softened again.

It turned its head to meet Bai Yao's gaze, blinked, and groaned as if complaining that it was too hot.

Tsk, it's really an ancestor.

Bai Yao finally placed an order for a dark blue square inflatable swimming pool with a pattern of little yellow ducks printed on the side, and it will be delivered the next day. If any customer sees it and inquires, it will be said that it is for washing carpets.

After buying the swimming pool, it was almost time to start making lunch, and I didn't sleep in the end. Bai Yao turned over and got off the hammock, and casually said to the little sea otter, "Go inside and stay here, it's hot here."

As expected, just as he walked into the kitchen, there was the sound of webbing stepping on the ground behind him. The little sea otter slowly followed Bai Yao into the house, lay down not far from him, and dozed off with half-closed eyes.

The restaurant was a bit stuffy, so Bai Yao opened the row of French windows facing the sea to ventilate. The white gauze curtains on both sides shook gently with the sea breeze blowing in, and the wind carried a little fresh sea salt smell.

The coastline can be clearly seen from the kitchen window, and Bai Yao's dining room is like the last row of a movie theater, taking in the sandy beach and the wide coast at a glance.

A group of sea otters lay on their backs on the beach, resting lazily and grooming themselves. Bai Yao looked at them with interest for a long time, and found that they had exactly the same posture as the little sea otters he raised.

He thought it was fun, and looked back for the sea otter spirit, and found that it was also staring at the group of sea otters outside the window in a daze, with a little unpredictable emotion in its eyes.

Bai Yao raised his chin to the outside, deliberately teasing it: "Your family?"

He was totally joking, animal spirits have nothing to do with real wild animals, they gave up living in the original body a long time ago, and lived in the city and any place where there are people. day.

Bai Yao himself is a snow leopard spirit, but he has only seen real snow leopards in zoos. He vaguely remembered thinking about it at the time, his original body was much more handsome than it.

The little sea otter tilted his head when he heard it, and solemnly walked to Bai Yao's feet, stretched out his paws and patted the instep of his shoes, shook his head very sincerely and obediently, and pressed a dusty button on the bottom of his trousers. paw prints.

Bai Yao: "?"

Before starting to prepare to open the store, I had to finish my lunch. Bai Yao cooked two servings of lemon-fried salmon with mashed potatoes and mushrooms, and prepared an extra plate of raw fresh scallops for the little sea otter.

Wash the salmon and dry it with a paper towel, sprinkle with pepper, salt and butter, squeeze the juice of half a lemon and put it in the oven for 20 minutes. You can also put rosemary around the baking tray to enhance the flavor, simple and delicious.

This dish is also on the menu of the restaurant, and it is Bai Yao's favorite dish, mainly because the time is fast and it is unexpectedly delicious.

Before it’s baked, the kitchen is already full of tempting aromas. Melted butter and fresh and slightly sweet rosemary are mixed together, giving the whole restaurant a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

The little sea otter was taking a nap outside the kitchen, but after smelling the smell, he slowly wandered in, staring at the oily fish fillet in the oven.

It stared at the fish fillet for a long time, then looked back at Bai Yao, very much like a puppy begging for food from its owner.

When the time came, Bai Yao took out the salmon, put his own portion in the incubator for a while to eat, and put the other portion on the countertop to cool down a bit.

When the mashed potatoes, mushrooms and scallops are ready, the salmon has been brought to a temperature that can be eaten directly.

"Want to eat?" Bai Yao picked up the plate from the table, lightly kicked the little sea otter's soft **** with his toes, and asked knowingly.

The little sea otter nodded extremely positively, with his whiskers twitching and his paws raised in front of his chest, quietly waiting for Bai Yao to feed him.

Bai Yao twitched the corner of his mouth, deliberately raised the plate containing salmon above his head, and said, "I'll eat it for you if you transform into a human."

He thought for a while, and added: "Otherwise, I won't get it, not today, tomorrow, and in the future."

The little sea otter instantly wilted, his beard drooped, his paws rubbed against each other, and he turned around swiftly, with the words on his resolute back: I'll forget it if I starve to death.

It turned around and walked towards the kitchen door with its head down, its tail hanging limply behind it, as if it was about to be self-reliant, taking small steps slowly.

Oh, the little thing still has a little temper.

Angrily and amusingly, Bai Yao took two slow steps to catch up with the little sea otter, put the plate in front of it, and rubbed its soft head when he got up.

"Take it... Here you go, eat."
