Bai Yao lightly tapped the edge of the inflatable swimming pool twice, and when Mu Muer raised his head from the pile of snacks in his arms, he asked him, "I have to go to the market to buy some limes. Yao go together?"

Mu Muer's beard trembled slightly, and before she handed the bag to Bai Yao with her paws, she took out two dried mangoes, stuffed them into her mouth and chewed and swallowed them before responding.

"Woo~"

This should not mean much.

It's okay if you don't want to, so that Bai Yao can hurry up and come back earlier to open the shop.

He nodded, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, raised the corners of his lips, looked back at Mu Mu'er who was rubbing his face, and said, "Mu'er, have you heard the story about the obedient little rabbit?"

Mu Mu'er didn't understand at all, she held her face with her two paws and was stunned, staring blankly at Bai Yao, her beard twitched.

Bai Yao looked at Mu Mu'er's dazed expression and chuckled, and said to him, "Then Mu'er can't run around, you know? You can't open the door casually, just ignore someone who comes, and no one can open the door if you knock."

Mu Muer nodded obediently, and shook her paw at Bai Yao's back. Before he could go out, she had already turned her attention back to the snacks on her stomach.

There are not many people on the street, most of the tourists have already left, and Qiaohai Town is gradually entering the off-season of tourism.

Autumn in Qiaohai Town is very beautiful. The sea water will gradually darken from the cold ice blue. Even if the sun shines directly on it, it can’t be seen clearly, just like expensive sapphires in jewelry stores.

Autumn and winter by the seaside are not too cold, the temperature is extremely comfortable, occasionally when it rains, the town will be hazy, and watching the sea at this time will give you the feeling of being in a fairyland.

If you are lucky, you can see migrating dolphins and killer whales in the distance at the end of September.

Bai Yao walked quickly to the south of the town, entered the market, did not go shopping, went directly to the stall to get the limes he wanted to buy, and was about to go back.

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd. After hesitating for a second, he chased after him and said hello, "Sister Xiaoqing!"

Jing Xiaoqing turned her head when she heard the sound. I haven't seen her for a while, and her belly has grown a lot. She wore a misty blue wide-brimmed sun hat, and her soft dark brown hair was blown a little by the wind and scattered around her cheeks.

Jing Xiaoqing pays attention to dressing, and she does not sacrifice her chance to wear good-looking clothes when she is pregnant. The sunflower dress on her body is bright and gentle in color. She wears a net bag-shaped reusable shopping bag on one shoulder, which looks like she is coming to a small town for vacation. pretty girl.

She was a little surprised to meet Bai Yao at the market at this time, and greeted him with a smile: "Hi! Why are you here? Aren't you going to open a shop?"

"Buy some limes." Bai Yao shook the bag in his hand, and raised his chin to Jing Xiaoqing's bag, "So many kiwis?"

Jing Xiaoqing rubbed her stomach and replied, "Maybe the baby is hungry, I want to eat sour ones now, and I feel uncomfortable if I don't eat kiwi fruit for a day."

Bai Yao was worried that she would have to carry her things home with such a big belly, and offered to take her home, but Jing Xiaoqing insisted that she didn't need to, saying that she had to exercise by herself, after all, she would be a single mother in the future.

Bai Yao could only nod his head: "Just tell me what you want to buy next time, and I'll just buy it and send it to you."

The market is a little far away from Jing Xiaoqing's handicraft shop, so it's okay to walk around usually, but now it's troublesome to bring back the things you buy, Bai Yao thinks next time you can directly make some food and send it to Jing Xiaoqing, so as to save herself It's time to cook.

"Okay." Jing Xiaoqing was not polite to him, "But I eat a lot now, so don't hold it against me."

"how could be."

Jing Xiaoqing suddenly thought of something, squinted her eyes and looked at Bai Yao, with a bit of complaint in her voice: "But why did you come to my store two days ago and didn't say hello, you just left before I saw you .”

Bai Yao frowned slightly, "Two days ago? I haven't gone out for several days, and there are too many things in the store to keep me busy."

Jing Xiaoqing didn't quite believe it, so she laughed: "Don't fool me, I could already smell your little sea otter, I thought you two were here, but when I went out, there was no one there. You said you didn't go out, He couldn't have come to me by himself."

After returning from City C, Bai Yao and Mu Muer hadn't been out much, and no matter when Mu Muer was clinging to him, Bai Yao was 100% sure that he wouldn't dare to go to Zhennan alone.

"Ah? How is it possible..." Bai Yao was taken aback.

Jing Xiaoqing slightly rolled her eyes, obviously not believing it, and waved her hand casually: "All right, all right, you're still hiding it from me."

The two chatted for a while and then separated. Bai Yao told Jing Xiaoqing to slow down, and she must call him if she needs help.

On the way home, Bai Yao thought about what Jing Xiaoqing said, and was puzzled.

Apart from Bai Yao, Jing Xiaoqing, and Mu Muer, there are no other animal spirits in the town, let alone sea otter spirits. If there are any, they can more or less meet them.

For a moment, he thought that Mu Muer had gone out to play secretly by herself, but on second thought, it was impossible. Mu Muer was so nervous when she saw a stranger coming to the house, how could she run out secretly.

Thinking wildly all the way, Bai Yao had already reached home before he came to a conclusion.

There are two cars parked across the street outside the restaurant, a Maybach in front and a slightly more understated black Bentley in back.

Most of the people in the small town live a simple and simple life, no one has such a ostentatious and luxurious car, Bai Yao frowned, he doesn't know which rich man came to the town, he just hoped that it would be best not to come to his own restaurant .

The golden shell temple is small and cannot accommodate a few big Buddhas.

The person sitting in the driver's seat of the Maybach can be vaguely seen from the street. The window was rolled down a bit, and the man, with his elbows on the window frame and a half-smoked cigarette in his hand, was looking in the direction of the diner.

When Bai Yao opened the courtyard door, he always thought that Maybach looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

He didn't think much, entered the yard, took out the key to open the door, but he didn't expect that Mu Muer was standing behind the door, and was almost bumped by the boy who threw himself into his arms.

Mu Muer's hair was a bit messy, and the ends were still wet. He was still barefoot, and he didn't notice that his T-shirt was on backwards.

"Yaoyao, someone is knocking on the door, someone has been knocking on the door, and Mu'er didn't open it." He looked up into Bai Yao's eyes, his expression a little nervous, and after he finished speaking, he affirmed himself, "Well, no open."

When Bai Yao had completely entered the door, Mu Muer grabbed his hand habitually, and found that Bai Yao was carrying a bag, so she compromised and pulled the corner of his clothes, holding it tightly in her hand.

Bai Yao paused, frowned slightly, and was about to ask Mu Muer if he saw who was knocking on the door outside, but he heard footsteps behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was the man sitting in the driver's seat of the Maybach. Now he got out of the car and had already walked to the gate of the yard.

The man's breath is somewhat familiar...

It's a sea otter.

When Mu Muer heard the voice, she poked her head out from behind Bai Yao, curious to see what the person who had been knocking on the door just now looked like. But after seeing that person, he instantly opened his eyes and took a breath.

Bai Yao didn't notice the change in Mu Mu'er's expression. Just as he was about to say sorry to the man, the restaurant was still resting, when he felt the hand of the boy behind him tightening his clothes.

Mu Muer subtly hid behind Bai Yao, and after hiding, she yelled in a very low voice, her voice was a bit confused, a bit timid, and could hardly be heard.

"elder brother."
