After Mu Mu'er finished eating, Bai Yao went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and took out the ingredients that needed to be thawed at night from the refrigerator.

As soon as he washed a dish, Mu Muer rushed in from the kitchen door again, pulled Bai Yao by the corner of his clothes and whispered his name, with a bit of anxiety in his voice.

Bai Yao's hands were full of soap foam, so it was not easy to touch him, so he asked, "Don't worry, take your time, what's wrong?"

After running all the way back from the yard, Mu Muer's voice was still out of breath: "Dachizi, what? Muer's Dachizi."

Before Bai Yao finished washing the dishes, he didn't look back: "It's still there, put it away for Mu'er, and I'll bring it to Mu'er after Yaoyao finishes washing the dishes."

Only then did Mu Muer feel relieved, and obediently responded "Yes", but her gaze never left Bai Yao, and she leaned forward a little, leaning close to him, poking her head over his shoulder to see if there was anything left. How many dishes have not been washed.

It seems that if he stares more seriously, Bai Yao can wash faster.

"Mu'er is so close, Yaoyao can't wash it." Bai Yao said so, and Mu Muer took a step back to make room for him.

Bai Yao's back was almost stared at by Mu Mu'er. He was afraid that the child would be anxious, so he had to put the bowl away first, wiped his hands and walked out, rubbing his head by the way: "You are too impatient! Nobody likes to know little sea otters."

Mu Mu'er doesn't care what he likes or not, he only thinks about his own big pond, watching Bai Yao walking towards the yard, he hurriedly followed, and almost stepped on his heels.

After entering the yard, Bai Yao took out the inflatable swimming pool. Yesterday he wanted to just throw it away, but in the end he was reluctant, so he put it in the locker in the corner, thinking about putting it away. Fortunately, I didn't throw it away, otherwise I would have to buy a Frozen swimming pool next time.

There was a circular indentation on the grass, which was made by placing the pool before. Bai Yao helped Mu Muer inflate the pool, and put it back in its original position.

Mu Muer didn't look at the swimming pool, but stared at the spot on the grass where the pool used to be, her eyes were a little straight, she didn't know what she was thinking.

The water pipe is on the other side of the yard, and it needs to be connected to fill the pool. Bai Yao wasn't sure if Mu Muer wanted to use the swimming pool right now, so he asked him, "Does Muer want to swim?"

Mu Mu'er shook her head slowly, stepped forward and sat down cross-legged on the ground in front of the swimming pool, silent.

Bai Yao thought that Mu Muer just wanted to play by the pool, so he rubbed his head, planning to go back and continue washing the dishes. But he saw Mu Muer's aggrieved and disappointed expression at a glance, her eyes were red, and there seemed to be a little tear in her eyes.

Bai Yao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly squatted down next to Mu Mu'er, pinching his chin to make him turn his head to look at him: "What's the matter?"

"Mu'er's shell is gone." Mu Muer's voice was aggrieved, "It's been hidden for a long time, it's gone."

Mu Muer has a lot of shells, so many that you can find one every few steps in the restaurant. It took several seconds for Bai Yao to realize that he was asking about the scallop shell hidden under the swimming pool, which was almost thrown away yesterday. It was the shell of the first scallop he gave to the pup.

Fortunately, he didn't throw it away yesterday. He thought Mu Mu'er had completely forgotten about it, but he kept thinking about it.

He didn't want the pool either, he wanted the shells hidden under the pool.

Bai Yao hurried into the house and went to the cabinet in the living room to get shells for Mu Muer. When she came out, Mu Muer didn't even notice that he had left, she sat on the ground with her head drooping, her small body looked aggrieved and pitiful.

Thinking about it, Bai Yao almost threw this shell away at the time, and Mu Muer still hugged it tightly with her paws while soaking in the bathtub and being scrubbed. The first thing she did after transforming was to find a place to hide it.

If it was really lost, Mu'er would be so sad.

Bai Yao patted his back, and when Mu Muer looked up, he spread it out in the palm of his hand as if by magic and showed it to him: "It's not lost, boy, it's not here."

Mu Muer recognized at a glance that this was the scallop shell she had hidden under the swimming pool a few months ago, even the texture and color on it were the same. He often took advantage of Bai Yao's inattention to take it out to look at it secretly, and he was so familiar with this shell that he could recognize it with a light touch.

"Shell..." Seeing that Bai Yao had no objection, Mu Muer carefully reached out and took her shell, and held it in her hand like a treasure. After carefully checking that it was not damaged, she covered it at the chest.

"I haven't lost it." It took about two seconds for his mood to change from loss to happiness, and that unique and innocent smile appeared on his face again.

Seeing how happy he was again, Bai Yao couldn't help touching his face and teasing him: "Did Mu'er forget to take the shells away yesterday?"

"I haven't forgotten." Mu Mu'er held her shell in both hands, and said confidently, "Mu'er will never forget what she has hidden."

Bai Yao was a little puzzled: "Then why didn't you take it away?"

This time Mu Muer answered quickly, looking up at Bai Yao, her eyes were as bright as the moon surrounded by stars.

"Because this is Mu'er's home, she will definitely come back, and she will return to Yaoyao's side."

After the kitchen is cleaned up, Bai Yao wants to go out and buy a mobile phone for Mu Muer when he has time, so that he can contact Mu Yi conveniently, and the two can make video calls or send voice calls.

This time he wanted to go back quickly, so he asked Mu Muer to wait for him at home, and swore several times that he would come back soon, so Mu Muer watched him walk out of the yard helplessly.

When I was going out, I happened to meet Aunt Zhang and Grandpa Xu going out for a walk on the beach. Bai Yao and the two old people greeted each other with a smile.

"Xiao Yao, go out." Grandpa Xu's eyes were not good, and when Bai Yao got closer, he saw that it was him, and smiled a little, "Didn't you bring your little tail with you today?"

The little tail is talking about Mu Muer, which is a nickname given to him by Grandpa Xu. He has been calling him that since he first met Mu Muer, and he can't change it now.

Bai Yao usually took Mu Muer with him wherever he went. Both Grandpa Xu and Aunt Zhang saw them several times. Every time Mu Muer took Bai Yao's hand and bounced around him like a little rabbit.

"Go shopping, don't take the kids with you." Bai Yao smiled.

Grandpa Xu's legs and feet are a bit inconvenient, and he has to rely on crutches to walk. Bai Yao helped him down the stairs to the beach when he had time, and held his arm to make him walk slowly.

The sand on the beach is soft, making it easier to walk. Bai Yao slowed down and walked and chatted with the two old people.

"Xiao Yao, you can pick the newly planted peaches in Aunt Zhang's yard. If you are free in the afternoon and evening, go to our place and pick some to bring back to Mu'er to eat." Grandpa Xu said slowly.

"Yes! Oh, why didn't I think of that." Aunt Zhang heard it from the side, and immediately seconded, "That peach is so sweet. I bought the tree directly at the time, and the people in the market said it would take a year to grow it to bear fruit. The fruit, but now the whole tree is full. We can't finish eating, so you pick more for your family Mu'er to eat."

Bai Yao didn't refuse, and agreed with a smile: "Okay, thank you very much, Mu'er will definitely like it."

Grandpa Xu likes Bai Yao very much. After seeing him, he always has a lot to say. He keeps asking how the restaurant's business is doing recently, whether he has encountered any troubles, and if there are any newly researched recipes that he must share. Bai Yao only talked about light and interesting things, and didn't mention any more serious topics.

While talking, the topic unknowingly turned to Mu Muer.

"That kid of yours really likes you. It's been a summer vacation and he hasn't come home yet."

Mu Mu'er looks small and not tall, he is almost twenty, and he is still called a child. Those who don't know think he is in high school.

Bai Yao hummed, and replied with a smile: "The town is fun, but the city is boring."

Grandpa Xu smiled. He has lived in Qiaohai Town all his life, and has almost never left this coastal town. He has strong feelings for this place, "That is, how good our town is, comparable to those of theirs. High-rise road."

"School is about to start. Is Mu'er going to some special school? There must be no shortage of such schools in the city." Before Bai Yao could answer, Grandpa Xu continued, "He left, you have to be reluctant." .”

Bai Yao was taken aback for a moment, and was a little slow in responding. Fortunately, his unnatural flash for a second was not seen by the two old people.

"Next time you have a holiday, let your son come back, and your aunt Zhang will cook him a table of delicious food." Grandpa Xu patted the back of Bai Yao's hand.

After walking with Grandpa Xu and Aunt Zhang for a while, Bai Yao left first. He walked along the gravel road towards the market, feeling a little more worried than before he met Grandpa Xu and Aunt Zhang.

In fact, Grandpa Xu just said it casually, but Bai Yao knew in his heart that what he said made sense. Mu Mu'er has been in the town for more than two months, and Bai Yao and his neighbors all said that he is his relative, and he came to the town for a summer vacation, to have fun.

But school is about to start now, no matter how Mu Muer looks at it, she is at the age of going to college, so it is impossible for her not to go to school all the time. Going on like this is not an option, people will always wonder why Mu Muer has been staying in the town for so long.

Before he could come up with a solution, Bai Yao had already walked to a small grocery store in the north of the town. He opened the door and entered the store, and greeted the clerk.

This shop is newly opened recently, and it sells a complete range of things, as well as some daily necessities such as electrical appliances. The little girl behind the counter saw Bai Yao enter the door, her eyes started to shine, she subconsciously sat up a little bit more, her gaze was directly glued to him.

Bai Yao didn't care, he guessed it was a girl from the city who came to the town to work during the summer vacation, and she looked quite young, so she was not much different from Mu Mu'er.

The storefront of the grocery store is small, but it has a complete range of mobile phones at all prices.

Bai Yao didn't really want to buy the smartest model for Mu Muer. He always felt that if he gave Mu Muer a mobile phone that could download all kinds of games, he could hold it and play with it every day.

After hesitating for a long time about choosing a mobile phone, the salesperson showed no signs of impatience and kept introducing it to Bai Yao. In the end, he chose the latest mobile phone. He couldn't say why, but he instinctively wanted to use the best one for Mu Muer.

After finishing his business, Bai Yao went to the market to buy several kinds of fruits, and delivered them to Grandpa Xu and the others when he returned home. Before the old couple came back, he left the bag outside the door.

When Bai Yao went out, Mu Muer kept guarding the door like a puppy, not moving much. So as soon as Bai Yao opened the door, a Mu Mu'er rushed forward, but it couldn't get off while hanging on him. He walked forward, and Mu Muer hugged him and walked with him, from the gate of the yard to the gate.

"Are you a sloth?" Bai Yao rubbed his head helplessly.

"Mu'er has been waiting for Yaoyao for a long, long, long time." He jumped off Bai Yao and greeted him in a low voice. The long time he said was actually about forty minutes, less than an hour.

Bai Yao squeezed Mu Muer's face, and walked into the house, "Don't stand at the door next time, the little sea otter is so light, a gust of wind will blow you away."

Mu Muer jumped and followed behind, seeing the bag in Bai Yao's hand, her eyes lit up. He walked two steps quickly, studied it quietly, and found that it was not edible, and the light in his eyes went out just a little.

"What a good thing."

"Gift." Bai Yao said casually, shaking the bag in his hand.

When Mu Muer heard it, she jumped up like a little rabbit, and her voice became louder: "Gift!"

He couldn't wait to look inside the bag, but he couldn't see what was inside from this angle, so he asked Bai Yao anxiously, "Is it for Mu'er?"

Who else but him.

But Bai Yao just wanted to tease him, so he snorted with a smirk: "No, it's for a little stupid sea otter."

Mu Mu'er was visibly wilted to the naked eye, and watched Bai Yao walking into the house, and followed slowly. He languished for a long time, then suddenly froze, blinked his eyes twice, and shouted behind Bai Yao: "Yaoyao is wrong, Mu'er is not stupid."

It's okay, I got it.

Bai Yao chuckled, and stuffed him the bag in his hand: "Well, not stupid. Open it and have a look."

Encouraged by Bai Yao, Mu Muer couldn't wait to open the bag and took out the mobile phone packed in the box.

"Moon Rabbit!"

Mu Muer's current impression of the mobile phone is the Moon Rabbit Adventure game. Bai Yao gave him the mobile phone, and to him, it was a disguised gift of a Moon Rabbit.

"When my brother comes tonight, Mu'er asks for my brother's WeChat, you know?" Bai Yao poured himself a glass of water, took a bottle of cranberry juice from the refrigerator for Mu Muer, and sat down on the sofa.

"En!" No matter what Bai Yao said, Mu Muer always agreed first before thinking about whether she understood. After a while, he frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "WeChat, what's delicious?"

This was his subconscious answer. When he heard Bai Yao say that he wanted it for his brother, he thought that Mu Yi wanted to bring some delicious snacks for him, and he also took the initiative to ask him for it.

It was only then that Bai Yao came to his senses.

Completely ignored, he never had a mobile phone, how could he know what WeChat is and how to use it. He took Mu Muer's hand and let him sit beside him, put his arms on the back of the sofa behind him with familiar movements, and stretched his legs lazily forward and crossed.

Mu Muer often plays games on Bai Yao's mobile phone, and is already familiar with how to use the mobile phone, but Bai Yao patiently and slowly taught him what software the different icons represent.

There are only a few apps that come with the system in the new phone. Bai Yao installed a calling card that he had left unused, first downloaded WeChat, thought about it, and downloaded Moon Rabbit Adventure and several similar games.

Mu Muer is slower than ordinary people in learning things. Bai Yao taught him which icon WeChat is, how to open it, and how to use the pages inside. It took him a long time to teach him.

Bai Yao was the first contact in Mu Muer's WeChat. Bai Yao added Mu Muer's WeChat, and changed his note name to "Xiao Maotuo".

He added Mu Yi's WeChat two days ago, Mu Mu'er's brother's personal page is even colder than his own, he has never posted anything in Moments, and his profile picture looks like a passport photo.

At that time, Bai Yao really wanted to change Mu Yi's note name to "Old Sea Otter", but he was a little worried that he would be seen by Mu Muer one day, so after thinking about it, he followed Mu Muer and changed it to "Brother".
