Bai Yao opened his mouth to tell Mu Yi about this, but Mu Yi opened his mouth a second before he could, and only said a few short words.

"He has been my younger brother for thirteen years, and I want to continue to be his older brother."

With just such a sentence, Bai Yao has nothing to say, and what he wanted to say now seems meaningless.

Indeed, Mu Muer is Mu Yi's biological younger brother, so what is he considered to be Mu Muer's.

family? no. Boy friend? Not at all.

After much deliberation, they may not even be considered friends in the end.

He let Mu Muer appear in his life without any worries, and left him without any worries. He didn't think about what to do in the future and how the relationship between the two would develop.

He just likes Mu Muer, a very simple kind of liking, never thought about whether he has a little more feeling for him than liking him, and never seriously thought about whether he will have it in the future.

Bai Yao euphemistically called this kind of liking protection, and calmly kept Mu Muer by his side, not caring that Mu Muer would rely on him and regard himself as an indispensable part of his life.

Just because I like it.

But liking is not love, liking is much more irresponsible than love.

"If you find him funny for a while, tell me the truth, I don't blame you. He has no home, never had one, I don't want you to give him the hope of a home, and finally take it away." Mu Yi's voice was steady and serious, "At least the home I gave him will be his forever home."

Bai Yao shook his head slightly, and his voice was equally low and serious: "What you give to him is his, whether it's snacks, scallops, a home or my love for him, what you give is what you give, and you won't take it away, and no one can take it away." .”

"You like him today, can you still guarantee that you will like him tomorrow?"

Bai Yao chuckled and replied without thinking, "Yes."

Before the two could finish talking, Mu Yi's cell phone rang for the third time. He finally answered the phone this time. Over there is his assistant, saying that there are important documents waiting to be processed, and he can't wait.

Mu Yi stayed at the hotel in the small town, and booked a room for four days just to see if Mu Muer from Bai Yao's family was his younger brother.

Things at work can't be postponed, he has to go back to work on the computer, so he's going to leave first, saying he'll come back the day after tomorrow.

Just as Mu Muer came out of the kitchen with a full glass of water, she happened to see Mu Yi get up and go out.

The water glass was a bit full, and Mu Muer held it in both hands and walked slowly. Seeing that Mu Yi was about to leave, he hadn't drunk the water yet, so he quickly walked two steps forward, and in a hurry, a little water spilled out of the cup.

"Water... Brother, drink water." He carefully put the cup on the table, but the voice was too low, Mu Yi didn't hear it, and turned around and went out the door.

Seeing his depressed and wronged expression, Bai Yao couldn't help laughing, and patted his head to express his comfort.

Mu Mu'er sat down on the chair, watched Mu Yi go out from the back door, and waved her hand at his back, muttering to herself in a low voice: "Bye bye brother".

Mu Yi didn't take the doll away, so Mu Mu'er picked it up and hugged it tightly.

When he saw Mu Yi yesterday, he ran upstairs to hide in a hurry, and he was so frightened that he cried secretly, but now Mu Muer has forgotten why he was afraid. So far, Mu Yi has not been cruel to him, and there is nothing to be afraid of when he looks at a cold brother.

The little sea otter really doesn't have a heart. Anyone who treats him a little bit kindly can stay on his "like" list for a long, long time.

His list can also be very long, it can accommodate many people, and his likes can be distributed to a lot of people. Everyone who treats him well can't be left behind. Aunt Zhang, Jing Xiaoqing, Qi Crow, now there is another brother.

But in his heart, Bai Yao will always be number one.

Even those who treat him badly, he won't remember them in a blink of an eye, only those he likes. So Mu Muer is always happy, there is no one or anything in the world that can make him unhappy.

He has lived alone for too long, and now that there are people who care about him, all his emotions are infinitely magnified. Mu Muer was originally a lovely and soft person, so his words, actions, and even his liking for others became lovely and soft.

"Brother is leaving!" Mu Mu'er tilted her head to watch Mu Yi turn around the street corner and walk towards the back alley of the restaurant. She bent her eyes and raised her arms towards Bai Yao, "Then hug Yaoyao."

Mu Yi hasn't gone far yet, if Mu Muer speaks louder, he can hear her.

Bai Yao smiled lightly and shook his head.

Little stupid sea otter.

He walked over, and instead of hugging Mu Mu'er into his arms, he squeezed the boy's raised wrist, signaling him not to hug him now.

Mu Mu'er raised his arm sorely, but Bai Yao didn't even hug him, so he could only curl his lips aggrievedly, and put his arm down again.

Bai Yao wanted to ask him something serious, so he sat down on the chair next to Mu Muer, and asked carefully, "Does Muer like brother?"

The answer to this question is nothing more than liking it or not liking it, nothing difficult, but Mu Muer thought about it for a long time and didn't speak for a long time.

He was thinking about what kind of answer Bai Yao would want, so he bit his lip and didn't speak, and took a peek at Bai Yao from under his eyelashes.

Bai Yao saw that he was hesitating, and comforted him in a low voice: "Mu'er is telling the truth, it doesn't matter, you can say whatever you want."

Mu Muer didn't have a heart. Hearing what Bai Yao said, she answered truthfully, but her voice was so low that she could hardly hear it: "...I like it."

Something in my heart started to ache gradually, and the pain slowly spread like a spider web, but Bai Yao couldn't control it.

In the most selfish corner of his heart, he wanted to sneak the boy away, as far away as possible, to a place where Mu Yi could not find them. But this idea only survived in Bai Yao's heart for three seconds before he was stifled by him.

He sincerely hoped that there would be one more person in this world who would love Mu Muer, no matter who it was, whether it was him, Aunt Zhang and Grandpa Xu next door, or Mu Muer's elder brother, anyone would do.

Mu Muer is so good, he deserves to be liked by more than Bai Yao.

"Well, brother likes you too." Bai Yao stretched his expression, rubbed Mu Mu'er's head as usual, and smiled at him.

He turned and went to the kitchen, and had to prepare the ingredients for the opening of the shop at night.

Bai Yao's mind was confused, his mind was full of the words Mu Yi said, "He is my younger brother for thirteen years", and he didn't hear the words Mu Muer whispered behind him, "But I like Yao Yao more, I like Yao Yao the most. ".

For the next two days, Mu Yi came over every day, took time out of his busy schedule to stay in Bai Yao's restaurant for a few hours, sat for most of the day, just to have a few words with Mu Muer occasionally .

He booked a hotel for a few more days, asked his assistant to postpone work, and canceled all meetings.

Even with some matters at work, Mu Yi waited until the restaurant opened at night, and brought them here to solve them, wanting to get closer to Mu Muer blatantly. He just looks at Mu Muer from a distance, and doesn't expect him to like him so much.

From the beginning, Mu Mu'er walked around him, and gradually became acquainted with Mu Yi, willing to talk to him, and would not want to hide behind Bai Yao when she saw Mu Yi.

Bai Yao had to be busy with the restaurant, so he couldn't stay with Mu Muer all the time. But he looked out from the kitchen several times, and the boy was always amused by Mu Yi, and he didn't know what Mu Yi said to him.

Perhaps because the two are brothers, they haven't seen each other for so many years, and the estrangement between them seems to have disappeared in a few days.

Mu Yi didn't resist or reject Mu Muer because he became special. Mu Muer is his family, so he can accept it no matter what.

In fact, this is not easy for Mu Yi, Bai Yao also understands.

When he met Mu Muer himself, the boy was such a special and unresponsive person. But Mu Yi needs to accept that his younger brother who grew up with him has changed from a normal person to being different from others.

At ten o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, Bai Yao made milk tea for Mu Muer in the kitchen, while Mu Yi played with Mu Muer's shells outside.

This kind of caramel milk tea made by Biluochun has a mellow and smooth taste, and the taste is not very sweet, with a light bitterness in it, which is most suitable for drinking at the end of summer.

When Bai Yao made it for Mu Muer a while ago, he fell in love with this kind of thing that is a hundred times better than water. If Bai Yao didn't need to make it for him now, Mu Muer could only drink this every day.

It is not on the menu of the milk tea restaurant, this is a drink that only belongs to Mu Muer.

Outside the kitchen, Mu Yi was talking to Mu Mu'er, their voices were not loud, but Bai Yao had good hearing, so he could hear clearly if he listened carefully. He was just not interested, and focused on the stirring spoon in his hand, staring at the caramel and tea in the pot to prevent it from burning.

After the milk is added, the tea leaves sink and float, and as the milk that is about to boil swirls in the pot, the kitchen is full of strong tea fragrance.

The color is a bit too dark, next time you should put less tea, otherwise Mu Muer will not be able to sleep at night with so much caffeine. But if there are too few tea leaves, the milk tea will not taste good, it will be like a cup of milk with added sugar.

He was fascinated, thinking wildly, and when he reacted, the sound of footsteps behind him had entered the kitchen.

Mu Yi glanced into the pot from behind him, frowned slightly, and asked sincerely, "Is the porridge watery?"

"...What kind of porridge have you been drinking all your life?"

Bai Yao turned around, but didn't see Mu Muer coming in with Mu Yi, so he asked him, "Where's Muer?"

"He went upstairs, and he said he wanted to play some kind of rabbit game."

In the morning, Bai Yao put his mobile phone on the bedside table in the bedroom to charge. Mu Mu'er was thinking about it all the time. She probably saw him busy in the kitchen and couldn't take care of herself, so she secretly went to find his mobile phone to play with.

Bai Yao couldn't hold back and pulled the corner of his mouth upwards a little.

Mu Yi leaned against the door and looked around the surrounding environment. The kitchen was tidy and tidy, and there were six pots from large to small beside the stove, each of which was polished shiny, if it weren't for the scratches and a few pots on it. An inconspicuous gap, no different from the new one.

The two were quiet for a while, only the sound of milk tea bubbling in the kitchen.

After weighing for a while, Mu Yi chose a topic: "What... does he like to eat?"

Bai Yao replied straightforwardly: "He can eat anything, your brother is not picky."

What he said was half-truth, half-false, Mu Muer is not picky about food, her eyes shine when she sees food, but she likes sweets and shellfish the most. I don't know whether he likes the meat in it or collecting small shells.

Having been the boss of the group for five years, small talk is not within Mu Yi's area of ​​expertise. After thinking about it, he went straight to the kitchen this time to find out what Bai Yao wanted to talk about.

"Let him go back with me. He is the young master of the shepherd family. He is not suitable to stay here forever. You can't give him many things he needs."

Bai Yao didn't respond on the surface, but the spoon stirring the milk tea stopped. He froze for a moment, then forced himself to relax, clenching his teeth to let his shoulders relax.

"Are you married?" he said slowly. "Have any children?"

After a pause, he asked, "Mu'er can't stand loneliness, can you guarantee that you will spend all your time with him?"

"Yes." Mu Yi replied quickly, before Bai Yao finished speaking, he continued, "I have no wife, no children, and I have been waiting for my younger brother to come home."

go home.

These two words appeared in front of Bai Yao like thorns.

"Bai Yao, I'm his elder brother. No matter what, I won't harm him. I can find him a school, a tutor for him, and let him live a normal life as much as possible. He is less than others in this life. The most important age of six years, as his elder brother, I want to make it up to him."

In order to hide the emotion in his eyes, Bai Yao didn't look back.

He is a chef, and he opened such a small restaurant, maybe he will spend most of his life in Qiaohai Town, living a carefree and carefree life. It doesn't matter, this is the life he chose, and it's definitely what he wants.

What he can do for Mu Muer is to cook him a meal when he is in a bad mood, or hug him, cuddle him to sleep, coax him a few words to make him happy.

But after much deliberation, it seems that there are only so many.

What if Mu Muer needs more in the future?

Mu Yi is Mu Muer's older brother, it's better for him to follow his own family than to follow an outsider.

The milk tea in the pot boiled, bubbling and bubbling, but Bai Yao didn't even have the mood to turn off the fire. He removed the pot from the stove and stared at the bright blue flames for a few moments before trying to turn off the fire.

Bai Yao made up his mind and silently counted to five, but the word "good" got stuck in his throat, he couldn't say it, let alone swallow it, it was uncomfortable.

Finally, she nodded slightly.

He opened his mouth to say something, but his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak. He swallowed a few mouthfuls and said, "You asked him what he likes to eat just now, but I forgot to say. He especially likes curry and seafood fried rice. I will post the recipe later." Here it is, you just do it, it’s not difficult.”

Mu Yi doesn't know how to cook, so he wanted to say that he could give Bai Yao the contact information of the nanny at home, but the words got to his lips, but he didn't say anything in the end, and changed it to "I know".

"If he changes shape, don't blame him, he feels comfortable. And don't yell at him, he will be scared."

"He's a bit afraid of heat. I don't know if you have an air conditioner in your house. He is even more afraid of heat because of his hair after transformation." Bai Yao completely forgot that Mu Yi is also a sea otter, and of course he also knows that sea otters have thick fur. "If it's too hot , you give him some ice, he can feel better."

"You can buy him some overalls, it's not very pretty, but he likes to wear it."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yao was stunned for two seconds. He suddenly remembered the pair of overalls that Mu Muer had taken a fancy to in the mall, and he thought it was ugly, so he didn't buy it for him.

Why didn't you buy it for him? Mu Mu'er obviously liked it so much, and it was the first time he asked for something from himself.

He even thought about whether to let Mu Yi take Mu Muer to buy it, but then he remembered that he no longer remembered where that store was, and after such a long time, maybe that store would not sell it anymore. .

Bai Yao wanted to tell Mu Yi everything, even Mu Mu'er's favorite time to go to bed, when to get up, and the citrus and lemon shower gel she likes to use when taking a bath.

"Also, he likes to hide shells, he can hide them anywhere, if you find them, don't get angry with him, and don't throw them away secretly, he will be sad."

After ordering a bunch of trivial things, Bai Yao felt like he was babbling like an old grandmother, but he just couldn't stop. He wanted to tell Mu Yi every detail about Mu Muer, for fear that Mu Muer would follow him. Wronged.

This talk lasted for more than ten minutes, Mu Yi listened carefully and responded from time to time, but his expression was unpredictable, Bai Yao couldn't tell what he was thinking.

The milk tea gradually cooled down, Bai Yao used a strainer to filter out the tea leaves, and poured the milk tea into the prepared glass.

Maybe it was feeling sorry, or maybe it was curiosity, Mu Yi asked: "Do you like to cook?"

Bai Yao paused, then said softly: "If I don't like it, will I still choose to open a restaurant?"

Mu Yi nodded and said nothing.

There were brisk footsteps behind her, and Mu Muer hopped in to look for Bai Yao. She saw the milk tea waiting to cool down on the table at first glance, and went straight there.

"Is it for Mu'er?"

"En." Bai Yao responded, and habitually stroked Mu Mu'er's somewhat messy hair on top of her head.

The temperature of the milk tea was just right for the mouth, Mu Muer picked it up and took a sip, her eyes lit up a little: "Sweet!"

Mu Mu'er didn't feel the subtle atmosphere in the kitchen at all, he only had the cup of milk tea in front of him in his mind, and thought he drank it himself, and didn't give it to Bai Yao yet.

"Yaoyao, take a sip." Mu Muer raised the glass to Bai Yao's lips, insisting on letting him take a sip before she was satisfied.

"Brother..." Mu Muer looked at Mu Yi, hesitated for a moment, then turned her head, and muttered in a low voice, "Brother must not like it."

Bai Yao never took his eyes off Mu Muer's body since he entered the kitchen. He combed his hair and took a tissue to let him wipe the sweat from his nose.

Mu Yi stared at him for a while: "Go out and talk."

When Mu Yi walked outside, Mu Muer subconsciously followed him with a glass, like a baby duck.

Bai Yao didn't think much about it at all, after Mu Yi couldn't see him, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Mu Muer who was following him, and hugged the boy tightly into his arms.

Mu Mu'er was suddenly hugged to his chest by Bai Yao inexplicably, and couldn't help but let out a somewhat puzzled "hmm~" with a slightly upturned ending, not quite understanding what happened.

When she reacted, Mu Mu'er didn't move at all, she just leaned on Bai Yao's chest obediently.

He didn't know what Bai Yao and Mu Yi said at all, Mu Mu'er just felt that Bai Yao's arms around him were very tight, and it was a bit heavy on him. His Yaoyao seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Yao Yao wants to be hugged." Mu Mu'er tried her best to turn around in Bai Yao's arms, her forehead resting on his chest, her arms naturally wrapped around Bai Yao's waist, "Hug Mu'er."

After speaking, he patted Bai Yao's back lightly, coaxing him like he coaxed himself.

Mu Mu'er held the milk tea in one hand, and loosely grasped Bai Yao's clothes with the other, her voice buried in him, a little muffled and hoarse.

"From now on, I will always hug Yaoyao."
