Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Mu Mu'er has been living at Bai Yao's house for almost three weeks.

Although he had promised Bai Yao that he would not transform back into a sea otter casually, he still saw every opportunity to transform in secret.

From time to time, Bai Yao would find a soft and lazy sea otter in an inexplicable place at home. Sometimes he woke up in the morning, sometimes under the dining table, and sometimes he waited for Mu Muer to take a bath. I didn't see him coming out, and when I entered the bathroom, I saw a sea otter floating in the bathtub.

And if Mu Muer is caught by him, she will only let out a weak "嘿", tightly cover her eyes with her small paws, and pretend to be an ostrich while trying her best to pretend to be stupid.

He really likes to stay in his own body, the whole sea otter looks contented from beard to tail tip.

At this time, Bai Yao couldn't bear to blame him, so he would sigh a lot, turn around and leave, pretending that he didn't see anything.

In fact, as long as people don't see the transformation process, it's not a big deal. Bai Yao just let him go, opened his eyes and closed his eyes. It's as unsightly as wearing no clothes.

Mu Mu'er seemed to understand, but if Bai Yao talked to him, he would listen carefully, and he would completely forget it within a few seconds.

After a few times, Bai Yao gave up, as long as Mu Muer is comfortable, let him care about the rest.

The restaurant is by the sea, and there is a little sea otter wandering around every day, which is not particularly strange, after all, groups of sea otters are often seen on the beach. Sometimes after the restaurant opens, before Mu Muer can go upstairs, she will be seen by people who come to eat in the restaurant.

Most of the guests just took a look and left, but there were also a few tourists who took out their mobile phones and wanted to take pictures of Mu Muer.

Bai Yao was always worried that the guests would scare Mu Mu'er, so he stood aside and watched with some anxiety, fearing that someone would bully him. But most of the people have no malicious intentions, and are very friendly to Mu Muer, and they will not casually approach him to touch him.

This morning.

In the small pool in the yard, there was a silly sea otter soaking on his back, while Bai Yao was smoking a cigarette against a small jatropha tree in the corner of the yard. He held the restaurant's most recent bill in his hand, counting income and expenses.

He deliberately smoked in a place far away from Mu Muer, making sure that he would not be choked by the smell of his own smoke.

The weather forecast said that there will be continuous storms in the next few days, but it looks quite sunny at present. To be on the safe side, Bai Yao ordered a lot of ingredients in advance, so that he can be prepared even if there is a storm. Although it rains, there will be a lot fewer customers, and there is a lot of stock to be prepared.

The pink inflatable swimming pool has been kept. Bai Yao originally wanted to throw it away. Anyway, Mu Muer will transform into a shape. I don’t think there will be many opportunities to use it in the future, but Mu Muer likes to swim in it after transforming into a sea otter. , The utilization rate is quite high, so I had to stay in the end.

The weather has been very hot in recent days, so Bai Yao added some ice cubes to the swimming pool to cool down the water, otherwise such a small swimming pool would be as hot as a hot spring after being exposed to the sun for a while.

Mu Muer lay on her back on the water, playing with ice cubes with her two little paws, trying to collect all the ice in the water. The ice cubes were quite slippery, Mu Muer picked them up and put them on her belly, but they kept sliding down.

Just like a bear breaking a stick, one piece was picked up and one piece fell off. He worked hard for a long time but didn't catch much.

Mu Muer was a little anxious. He saw a piece of ice slipping from his stomach and fell into the bottom of the pool, and immediately wanted to fish it.

He rolled around in the water, but he forgot that there were still several pieces of ice on his stomach. He finally fished out the one he wanted, and when he looked again, his stomach was already empty.

He whimpered twice in anxiety, patting his belly with his little paws, feeling extremely wronged.

After struggling for a long time, Mu Muer looked at the ice in her claws, and at the ice cubes floating around her, and finally felt that the one she was holding was more important, so she firmly grasped it tightly without moving it.

After holding it for a while, maybe because her paws felt a little cold, Mu Muer stuffed the ice into her small pocket, trying to keep it.

After stuffing it in, he looked satisfied, his paws were drooping on his chest, his eyes were closed and his eyes were closed.

But after a while, Mu Muer felt that something was wrong, he raised his arm and took a look at the creaking hole, the ice was completely smaller by him, and now it was only about the size of a ping pong ball.

Mu Muer was immediately dumbfounded, holding the ice cube at a loss, not understanding why the one that was so big just now was about to disappear.

Bai Yao watched him like watching an entertainment show, more enjoyable than watching a movie, and didn't make a sound to remind him, just watched quietly with a cigarette between his hands, wondering when Mu Mu'er would realize that the ice cube was Will melt.

There is a crisp bell ringing in the street, and the postman is riding a bicycle to deliver the letter.

The mailbox at the entrance of the restaurant is facing the yard. The postman stuffed the letter into it. When he looked up, he saw a round sea otter turning over in the pink inflatable swimming pool, rubbing its webbed, and yawning with a flick of its beard.

He was so scared that he almost fell off his bike.

Bai Yao raised the corners of his lips, nodded to the postman, raised his hand to shake the cigarette ash, and after he left, he choked out the cigarette and went to open the mailbox.

There were several letters, among which was a postcard.

Bai Yao glanced at it and laughed, snorted, and entered the room with the postcard.

Mu Muer was very curious. The more Bai Yao didn't talk to him, the more he wanted to know what was on that thin piece of paper and whether it was something delicious. If so, it was possible for Bai Yao to enter the house I want to swallow it alone.

After struggling for a while, Mu Muer crawled out of the swimming pool, fell to the ground with a slap, and then walked towards the door with a slap, leaving a long water stain behind her.

Before entering the house, he lay down and rubbed himself on the mat at the door of the restaurant, and dried himself a little before crawling into the house.

The postcard was sent by Qi Ya. He was tracking and recording a three-and-a-half-year-old snow leopard in the snow mountain. It has been more than half a month since he could complete the task in two weeks, but he has not succeeded yet.

A few days ago, Qi Ya finally had time to talk to Bai Yao on the phone. The two chatted for a while, and Qi Ya complained to him about how miserable he was recently. He said that after this mission is over, he must go to Bai Yao and go to his place for a meal.

To track snow leopards, we had to eat and live in the open air, and lived in tents for two weeks. The temperature difference on the high mountain was very large. It was okay during the day, but at night we had to shrink into a sleeping bag to keep out the cold.

The whistling wind could be heard on the phone, and after a while Bai Yao could hear the chattering of Qi Crow's teeth.

"Don't let the feathers freeze off." Bai Yao chewed on a cigarette and leaned on the comfortable sofa to tease him, Qi Ya was so angry that he hung up the phone directly.

The snow leopard is an endangered first-class protected animal and needs to be observed carefully. Many big cats need a lot of room for movement, and two weeks is enough for them to move dozens of kilometers away, and Qi Ya's team has worked very hard to follow them.

From January to April is the mating season of snow leopards. Female snow leopards will give birth after three to four months of pregnancy. The task of the animal protection agency where Qi Ya works is to track the female snow leopard to ensure that her cubs are born smoothly and that she will not be attacked by poachers.

This postcard was sent to Bai Yao after he managed to rest in a crowded place for two days, saying that he was thinking of him. But it's probably not about Bai Yao, but about the menu of his restaurant.

On the postcard is a snow leopard with a silly expression, staring blankly at the camera, and biting its own tail. Its long, fluffy tail fills its mouth, and it is round like a ball.

There is only one line written on the back of the photo:

【Look, I found your father for you. 】

Bai Yao laughed and scolded in his heart, Qi Ya is really a rowdy kid, he has been the kind of guy who hasn't been in the house for three days since he was in college.

After Mu Mu'er entered the room, she found that her perspective on the ground was a bit low, and she couldn't see what Bai Yao was holding, so she had to transform into a human being, took the towel on the back of the chair, wrapped herself in it, and moved closer to Bai Yao to look at it. something in his hand.

A wet little head came close to him, and Bai Yao was squeezed by him and had to move away a little. He guessed that Mu Muer was not interested in the words written on it, so he turned over the postcard and showed him the picture of the snow leopard on it.

Mu Muer's eyes brightened a little, they were round and close to the postcard, and she muttered, "It's so cute."

"It's so soft..." He couldn't help reaching out to touch the snow leopard on the postcard. After realizing that it was just a photo, he withdrew his hand, raised his head and asked Bai Yao, "Is it soft?"

Bai Yao didn't know, anyway, he never had a chance to touch himself when he transformed into a snow leopard. He raised his paw and touched his body, thinking about this scene was a bit hard to describe.

Mu Muer still grabbed Bai Yao's hand, looked at the postcard in his hand vigorously, carefully studied the photo on it, "The tail...is long, I want to touch it."

His hair was still dripping with water, leaving a few water spots when he rubbed against Bai Yao's arm.

The little guy doesn't know how to dry his hair a little bit, so that he will catch a cold when the wind blows. Bai Yao took another towel, asked Mu Muer to sit down at the dining table, and rubbed his hair dry himself.

Mu Muer swayed comfortably with Bai Yao's movements, still holding the postcard in her hand, and asked him, "What is this?"

Bai Yao remembered that he had given Mu Muer a popular science about snow leopards before, good guy, he didn't listen to it at all. After talking about the snow leopard for a long time, Mu Muer remembered the word "hug".

He gave a smirk, bent down and leaned close to Mu Muer's ear, "Snow leopards specialize in eating sea otters."

After thinking about it for a long time, Mu Muer realized that she was also a sea otter, and would be eaten by the furry things in the photo. Her face turned pale, and she quickly put the postcard in her hand on the table, and pushed it away from her farther away.

"Don't eat... don't eat Mu'er." He shook his head vigorously, "Mu'er doesn't taste good."

Mu Mu'er's hair is very soft and a bit longer, after rubbing with a towel, it will be much fluffier, like a kitten with fried fur.

Bai Yao teased him while wiping his head: "Mu'er is delicious, how could it not be delicious?"

This sentence scared Mu Muer instantly, he shook his head quickly, "It doesn't smell good, it doesn't smell good, Mu'er doesn't smell good at all."

Bai Yao teased and was suddenly afraid that the little thing would announce that he would never take a bath again, so he had no choice but to coax him: "Well, yes, Mu'er doesn't smell good."

After hearing what he said, Mu Muer quieted down humming and chirping, obediently letting Bai Yao dry her hair.

Seen from the back, Mu Muer's neck is slender and fair, through the T-shirt, you can see the outline of a butterfly bone.

Bai Yao chuckled, and couldn't help wondering what a stewed sea otter would smell like.
