Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little

Chapter 17: His name is Sheep

The boy's enunciation and pronunciation were a bit strange. The ending sound of the word "good" was swallowed in half, and the half tone of the voice rolled up unnaturally. It didn't look like a greeting, but more like asking a question.

Transformation is a slight pain. They have to completely replace the bones in the body, and it is impossible not to feel it. The pain is not unbearable, in fact, it's good to get used to it, but if you don't adapt, it's still a little uncomfortable.

Bai Yao looked down at the three shells and two small stones stuffed in his hand, and at the boy lying neatly on the ground, his eyelids twitched.

This wouldn't be a relic left by this guy who was afraid that he was going to die.

But at least it wasn't his first incarnation, certainly not, because he knew where the bathtub faucet was, and couldn't drop the table legs and the floor when he smashed open the shell.

So the boy must have lived in a human way before.

There were many large and small scars on the boy's body, some of which looked like they had been there for a long time, and some of which seemed to have just healed. The most serious is the circular scar on the right shoulder, which seems to be bitten by something, leaving two dark pink marks.

Bai Yao looked at him up and down before realizing that the boy was still naked. He quickly reached out and tore off the quilt from his own bed to wrap him tightly, coughing lightly.

The boy opened one eye a crack, looked at Bai Yao who was looking down at him with some doubts, and then looked at the quilt on his body.

He... probably was wondering why he wasn't dead yet.

The little sea otter is still a thin and thin person after it has evolved into a human being. It is not tall and looks a little thin. You can even see a little rib and a protruding collarbone.

"Don't worry, I won't die." Bai Yao supported the boy a little by his back, let him sit on the carpet, thought for a while, and asked, "Can you speak?"

The boy looked at Bai Yao quietly, shrank under the quilt, nodded slowly, shook his head again, but did not speak.

Finally transformed, Bai Yao was full of questions and wanted to ask him, but seeing the boy wrapped in a quilt, he decided to find him some clothes to put on.

He got up and walked to his closet, still holding the shells and small stones that the boy stuffed for him, and put them on the bedside table beside the bed.

There are no clothes suitable for boys. Bai Yao's body is tall and big, and most of the clothes would be several sizes too big for a little sea otter.

Finally, he found a T-shirt from the bottom of the drawer that hadn't been worn a few times. It had a picture of a black crow on it, round like a ball, and it was brought by Qi Ya when he came to him last time. Visit gift.

The boy stretched out his hand from under the quilt, and carefully pinched the T-shirt that Bai Yao handed him. He didn't put it on right away, but hesitantly lifted it up and smelled it.

Bai Yao raised his eyebrows: "Can't wear it?"

"I will... yes, yes." The boy hurriedly said, as if he was afraid that Bai Yao would come to help him, he added, "I... wear it myself."

The boy spoke very slowly, and he had to think for a long time before opening his mouth to make a sound, and he had to think about each word before he could make the next sound.

His voice doesn't really match his appearance, he looks small, but he has already passed the period of voice change, and his voice has faded away from that layer of greenness and immaturity, he may not be considered a teenager anymore, at least between a teenager and a young man .

The boy thought about it for a while, then fixed his eyes on the clothes on Bai Yao's body, and put them on himself like a gourd.

He tried his best to get his head into the cuff, but of course he couldn't get it out. When he found something was wrong, he retreated and got stuck. He couldn't pull off the T-shirt no matter how he pulled it off, and finally stood there in a daze with a piece of clothing on his head.

…A T-shirt has four holes to choose from, but it’s really not easy to wear.

Bai Yao had no choice but to say, "If you don't know how to wear it, just say no, and I won't laugh at you." He walked over and took the boy's head out of the cuff, found the collar, and stuffed it in again.

After putting it on, I found that his clothes were still too big, and they looked extremely loose on the boy's body, hanging down to his thighs. But I can only make do with it, there is no other choice.

The crow on the T-shirt looked even more naive on the boy's body, and the hair on his head was also a little messy. Bai Yao raised the corners of his lips and gave a chuckle.

Bai Yao really couldn't wear his own underwear for him, but even more so with bare legs. Finally, he found a pair of loose black sweatpants for the boy. After he put them on, he rolled up the overly long trouser legs for him.

Bai Yao couldn't hold back, and teased him a few words: "Are you a bit small? Is it still long?"

He raised his hand and gently pressed the top of the boy's head. The boy didn't respond, but shrank his neck following Bai Yao's strength, like a little chicken, his eyes were a little dazed.

Now it looks like that, Bai Yao nodded in satisfaction, and asked him: "Is it famous?"

"Hmm~" The boy smiled at Bai Yao, "...mumu"

Bai Yao: "?"

"sheep…"

The boy's articulation is not clear, and the tongue rolls twice after opening the mouth to speak, and it doesn't seem to be talking, but it is more like the sound of a small animal.

Bai Yao was confused: "What sheep?"

"Well, shepherd, sheep."

His name is Sheep? WTF…

Bai Yao dug out the dictionary on his mobile phone, typed in mu, looked at the words on it, and tried hard to figure it out. After a long while, he finally understood that the boy's surname should be Mu. He said two "mu" characters, so it is very likely that the last one is his name.

"Which mu?" Bai Yao handed over the phone a little bit, swiped it slowly, and let the boy read it by himself.

After searching for a long time, the boy did not respond. He just frowned and stared at the line of words displayed on the phone, concentrating on searching for his name without blinking his eyes.

Bai Yao was wondering if he could be illiterate, and just about to ask him, the boy suddenly called out.

"Ah! This!"

He squirmed around Bai Yao excitedly, his face was on his phone, and he pointed at a word.

There was a little ignorance and innocence in his eyes that didn't match his age, and his excitement was comparable to that of a child seeing candy in his stocking at Christmas.

Bai Yao took a look at the word he was pointing at, it was "wood".

Bai Yao understood, at first he thought his name was Mu Mu, but then he heard the boy mutter again.

"But...there is water." The boy said earnestly, "There is... there."

This sentence was a bit difficult to understand. The boy stopped moving after he finished speaking, and looked at Bai Yao expectantly, thinking that he had made his name very clear.

Bai Yao turned his mind several times, slowly pieced together these clues, and finally understood.

His name is Mu Muer.

"Mu Muer?" Bai Yao called tentatively.

Hearing his name, the boy suddenly looked like a cat given to Xiaoyu, his eyes were full of uncontrollable joy and surprise.

"Yeah!" He nodded again and again, his eyes narrowed with a smile, "Me!"

He was overly excited, like he hadn't heard anyone call his name for a long time, and like a child who finally got attention, not like a normal person introducing himself.

Bai Yao frowned slightly, and asked him softly, "How old are you?"

The boy tilted his head and thought for a while, then began to count with his fingers.

He started counting from thirteen, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen... Every time he counted a number, he put down a finger, and if one hand was not enough, he switched to the other hand to continue counting.

Bai Yao frowned a little deeper, wanted to say something but couldn't say anything.

"Nineteen!" The boy spread five fingers on his left hand, and curled up his ring finger and little finger in his right hand to show Bai Yao, "Mu'er, nineteen!"

After finishing his report, he looked down at the two numbers displayed in his hands, and muttered in disappointment, "Okay, I'm old."

Bai Yao watched his actions, and after thinking about it, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he understood all the actions of this sea otter in front of him.

Including the boy covering his eyes when he saw himself shirtless, stacking shells in the corner of the restaurant, and thinking he was going to die after transforming, these behaviors are not just because he is a sea otter, but for other reasons.

The boy's mind is not that of a man approaching twenty, but more like that of a child.

This little sea otter is not just stupid, but a little fool with real mental retardation.

In fact, after he understood, Bai Yao was not too surprised, but he was relieved after seeing the truth clearly.

"Is this your first time transforming?" He asked Mu Mu'er softly, afraid that the boy would not understand, he added, "It's just becoming a human."

Mu Muer thought for a while, shook her arms and legs, and finally raised her hand to touch the hair on her head, and said slowly: "So... yes, these, yes."

That's not the first time he's transformed into a human form, probably because he hasn't transformed into a human for a long time.

After the boy finished speaking, he looked down at the T-shirt he was wearing, looked back at the back, and took a look inside the waistband of his trousers, frowning slightly, as if he was struggling with something. Before Bai Yao could ask him, he made a decision, grabbed the waistband of his trousers with both hands and was about to pull it down.

That's not necessary.

Bai Yao raised his forehead: "...I have what you have, and I have what you have. Don't take off your pants."

He suddenly remembered that he had pinched his balls, and the corners of his mouth slightly pulled upwards.
