It was not until a long time later that Bai Yao finally realized that there was no sound around him.

He can stay.

His baby sea otter can stay with him now.

Bai Yao took a deep breath, exhaled very lightly and slowly, lifted the hand he held with Mu Muer to his lips, and said "Thank you" in a low voice.

Mu Mu'er's hand was on his lips, Bai Yao's voice was low, but Mu Yi didn't hear it.

"Talk to him when he wakes up, I think he will be very happy." It seemed that after making this decision, all the strength in Mu Yi's body was exhausted, and his voice sank a little imperceptibly. Have someone bring his stuff back."

"I have something to do at work, so I can't spend more time with him." Mu Yi looked at Mu Mu'er's soft face, couldn't hold back, and reached out to touch it. And Mu Mu'er seemed to feel that this was not Bai Yao, and she frowned slightly in her sleep, and hid aside while grunting.

Mu Mu'er was lying very close to the bed, Bai Yao was afraid that he would fall, so he stretched out his hand to help him reflexively. The moment his finger touched the boy's head, Mu Muer immediately rubbed against him, pressing her cheek against Bai Yao's hand.

Mu Yi's gaze landed on the hands of the two tightly clasped, and there was a trace of imperceptible disappointment in his eyes. After deliberation, he still said, "Thank you."

"No more." Bai Yao raised Mu Mu'er and held his hand tightly, waving it to Mu Yi.

Mu Yi understood, smiled a little, turned and left. When he was about to go out, Bai Yao stopped him: "Let's stay for another day, and have dinner together tomorrow night."

Mu Yi was a little surprised by this invitation, he didn't answer right away, and looked at Bai Yao uncertainly with a frown.

Bai Yao raised the hand he held with Mu Muer for the second time, waved it twice in the air, and explained, "You can say goodbye to him."

Mu Yi was stunned for a while, then understood, smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yeah."

He didn't go to bed until five o'clock in the morning, and it was past eleven thirty in the morning when Bai Yao woke up.

Before Mu Mu'er woke up, Bai Yao didn't call him, and lay beside him for a while, watching the boy fall asleep peacefully.

Even if he fell asleep, it only took up a small space, and Mu Muer could only lie on less than one-third of such a big bed. He was still lying on his side, curled up into a small hermit crab, tightly huddled in his shell.

The boy has always slept honestly, as if he was afraid of occupying his own land, always shrinking his hands and feet, wishing to make himself disappear. I used to think it was cute, but today Bai Yao only feels distressed.

Looking at Mu Muer's cute appearance, Bai Yao knew very well that he was afraid that he would drive him away, and even when he was asleep, he was subconsciously trying to please him.

In fact, if Mu Muer is willing, he can sleep in Bai Yao's entire bed, not only this bed, but also this room, the whole family, can be Mu Muer's.

As long as he wants.

Bai Yao must let him understand this point.

Bai Yao got up, made room for Mu Muer, gently hugged his waist to stretch him out, and straightened his legs. Finally, he couldn't hold back, he pinched his face and rubbed it for a while, listening to him He grunted dissatisfiedly before closing his hands reluctantly.

Mu Mu'er was in a deep sleep, and she didn't wake up after being touched. Instead, she rubbed against the pillow and smacked her mouth unconsciously, wondering if she dreamed of something delicious.

The little sea otter never forgot to eat, and it was delicious.

Bai Yao gave a low laugh, and went into the bathroom to wash and change clothes.

He was afraid that Mu Muer would be scared if he could not find him after he woke up, so he opened the bedroom door a crack when he went out, so that Mu Muer could hear the voices outside and knew that he was still there when he woke up.

This morning, Bai Yao didn't move much. He sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee in his arms and was lost in thought. He only got up and went to the kitchen to warm it up in the microwave after the coffee got cold.

His eyes never left the door of the room, and he was inexplicably worried that if he didn't pay attention, the little sea otter sleeping in the bedroom would evaporate and disappear.

Inexplicable, really inexplicable.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Yao estimated that Mu Mu'er would wake up soon, so he prepared to cook for him. After about ten minutes, Mu Muer pushed open the door of the room and came out of the room rubbing her eyes.

Seeing him, Bai Yao felt a little miraculous, as if returning home after a tiring journey, his rippling heart gradually calmed down. This feeling is very comfortable, peaceful and stable.

He smiled and said hello: "Mu'er, good afternoon."

Mu Muer stood blankly in the middle of the restaurant with his hair on his head. He didn't realize that it was already past twelve noon, so he whispered hello as usual: "Good morning, Yaoyao."

Bai Yao asked him softly, "Did you sleep well?"

But Mu Muer fell silent after saying hello. Bai Yao was chopping shallots on the cutting board and didn't hear his answer. Just as he was about to turn around, he was suddenly hugged by the boy behind him. Mu Muer put her arms around his waist from behind, but didn't speak.

"Mu'er is pulling Yaoyao, Yaoyao can't prepare delicious food for Mu'er."

But no matter what Bai Yao said, Mu Muer didn't let go. He was shorter than Bai Yao, and his face was right on his shoulder blades.

He thought he wasn't sticking it tightly enough, so he rubbed it subconsciously, as if wishing he could turn into a little kangaroo, find a small pocket on Bai Yao's body, and hide it in it.

"Mu'er is very obedient, but Yaoyao thinks it's not good enough, she can be more obedient." After waiting for a while, Mu Muer muttered, "Does Yaoyao like very obedient little sea otters, Mu'er, yes. "

What he said inside and outside the words was that he was afraid that Bai Yao would go to find other little sea otters. To him, Bai Yao let him go with Mu Yi because he didn't like him anymore, or maybe he fell in love with the other little sea otters on the beach.

Mu Mu'er thought about it for a long time, and then suddenly remembered that she said at noon yesterday that she would come to see Bai Yao at night, but because Mu Yi refused to let him, he couldn't come back.

Thinking of this, Mu Muer bit her lip, lowered her head and apologized to Bai Yao in a low voice: "Mu'er was unable to find Yaoyao on time yesterday, I'm sorry."

It was obviously not his fault, but he was actually apologizing to himself.

Bai Yao felt a throbbing pain in his heart, sighed softly, put down the kitchen knife, and turned around in Mu Muer's arm.

When he turned around, Mu Muer hugged him face to face, and the boy looked up at Bai Yao with his chin resting on his chest.

Those little deer eyes were stained with tears, and their expression was cute and cute, with a little bit of careful fawning.

Bai Yao was reluctant to break Mu Mu'er's arm with all his strength, pinched his wrist, and it took him a lot of effort to let him loosen himself. Taking a closer look, Mu Muer's eyes were red, with a few teardrops at the end of her eyes, her fair and delicate face looked pitiful.

"Why are you crying again?"

Mu Mu'er didn't cry in front of her brother, but when she saw Bai Yao, she couldn't hold back her tears after all, her eyes were flushed, and her lips trembled slightly.

He wanted to tell Bai Yao that he didn't cry when he didn't see Bai Yao yesterday, but he opened his mouth and just sobbed.

"I didn't cry." He sobbed again.

Why is it so painful for him to cry.

"Didn't you cry?" Bai Yao wiped away some tears that fell on his cheeks with his thumb, "Is it raining for Mu'er?"

None of this made him laugh.

Mu Muer kept her head down, not looking up at Bai Yao, wishing she could find a place to hide herself.

His face was full of tears, and Bai Yao's fingers were a little wet. For a moment, he really wanted to kiss Mu Mu'er's cheek to see if the boy's tears were salty.

From this horizontal line, Bai Yao couldn't see his eyes, and Mu Muer kept evasive, just not wanting Bai Yao to look at her.

Without hesitation, Bai Yao stretched out his hand decisively to support Mu Mu'er's creaking nest, and with a force of his arm, he directly lifted him onto the kitchen bar and asked him to sit on it.

The bar in the kitchen was very high, and Bai Yao, who was 1.9 meters tall, reached above his waist when he stood there.

In this way, Mu Mu'er was a little taller than Bai Yao. Bai Yao stood between his legs, put his hands on his waist naturally, stuck very close to him, and looked up at him slightly.

"What is Mu'er thinking now, can I say it?" Bai Yao raised his hand to gently pinch Mu Mu'er's chin, looking into his eyes and asked him.

Now that she was a little taller, Mu Muer's eyes had nowhere to hide, and after dodging around, she had no choice but to return to Bai Yao, her round deer eyes were a little dazed. He was especially like a little hedgehog forced to turn over to expose his belly.

"Yaoyao chased Mu'er away..." He said aggrievedly, "Does Yaoyao not like Muer anymore?"
