Bai Yao sent Mu Yi to the gate of the courtyard, and walked two steps forward, but found that he did not follow.

Bai Yao stopped and turned around, Mu Yi didn't look at him at all, but faced the restaurant, with his hands in his pockets, looking up at the second floor. From here, he couldn't see the upstairs room, nor could he see whether Mu Muer was in the living room or the bedroom.

"Bring him to the city next time, I'm too busy with work, maybe I don't have many chances to see him." Mu Yi's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.

Without waiting for Bai Yao to answer, he continued: "Actually, I was thinking yesterday that when most people meet a mentally handicapped person, the first reaction is to look twice, and the second reaction is to walk around , the third reaction is to say 'look, he is so pathetic' to the people around him."

Mu Yi hesitated to speak, paused for a while before saying, "So, thank you."

Bai Yao snorted: "To me, Mu'er is not someone who needs my pity. No matter what he is, he is Mu'er. Sea otter or not, is he a little fool? He is the only one in the whole world. Others Don't baby him, I am willing to love him. So you don't have to say thank you to me, there is nothing to be grateful for."

"Well, I know." Mu Yi stared at Bai Yao's face for a long while, his eyes became a little colder: "If you treat my brother badly, bully him, there is no place in the world where you can hide."

Bai Yao understood: "Don't worry, just like you said, you are not the only one in this world who cares about him."

"Um."

Maybe it was because he drank too much, but Mu Yi said something unusual tonight, standing on the street outside the restaurant and said: "Actually, since the day he disappeared at the age of thirteen, I have always felt that I always have I'll find him one day. I just didn't realize he already had a home."

Mu Yi lost Bai Yao's cold look when he first met him, and became a little softer, "I still thought that when I found him, I would take him back to make up for the suffering he suffered in the past six years. I dare not think about where he is and whether he is doing well, but now it seems that he may not need me."

The weather is cool at night, with a slightly salty sea breeze, the jatropha trees in the yard are rustling.

Mu Yi came back to his senses, smiled: "It's okay, I just saw him doing well, it's been six years, and I finally found him."

The end of his eyes was a little more disappointed, but hidden in the deeper place, there was a little relief, which was not easy to detect.

"If one day you find him annoying..." Bai Yao interrupted him as soon as he started talking.

"No." Bai Yao leaned on the lamppost by the side of the road, but his voice was extremely firm, "I will never get bored with him, not now, nor in the future."

Mu Yi still wanted to say something, but looking at Bai Yao's eyes, he finally didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Let's go. I'll come see him later when I'm not busy at work." He didn't look back, but just waved his hand lazily, "Be nice to my brother."

He passed Bai Yao and took a few steps, stopped slightly without turning his head, "Oh, by the way, maybe next time I come, I will have a sister-in-law."

This sentence was said very lightly, for a moment, Bai Yao even thought it was his own hallucination.

With his hands in his pockets, Bai Yao watched Mu Yi walking along the gravel road to the north of Zhenbei by himself, and soon disappeared at the corner of the street.

He breathed a sigh of relief and stayed where he was for a few minutes. There are several different tastes mixed in my heart, sour, sweet, and bitter, but the sweet one occupies the most.

In fact, it was only now that Bai Yao gradually understood that everyone has the desire to possess, and when he finds someone he likes, he always hopes that he is the most special person in the world to him.

His possessive desire may be stronger than ordinary people's. Thinking that Mu Mu'er can't even **** her own brother away, Bai Yao felt a feeling of pride and vanity in his heart.

Bai Yao raised and lowered the corners of his mouth, stood there for a while to calm down, then turned and went back to the restaurant.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mu Mu'er half lying on the table, her upper body had no strength, and only her two legs were still barely supporting the ground.

The glass of wine that he hadn't finished drinking had completely bottomed out, but Mu Yi's glass of wine remained untouched.

Bai Yao walked over slowly, picked up his wine glass, tried hard to think about how much he had left in the glass at the end, and seeing Mu Muer's silly smile in the blink of an eye, he dared to bet that he had more than one bottom left.

He suddenly thought that if Mu Mu'er hadn't bumped his head and turned into what he is now, he would probably have a mischievous and weird personality. Putting it in the university, it is estimated that many girls like it, and he is so good-looking, I don't know how many people will chase him.

But Mu Muer is pretty good now, no matter how good Muer is, it doesn't mean that he will be better when he is normal, he is really very good.

Even if he becomes a little snail, Bai Yao still likes him just the same.

After picking up the wine bottle, Bai Yao realized that the little thing not only drank the red wine in his glass, but also drank a lot of the rest of the wine bottle. I'm done drinking.

It's too late to say anything now, Bai Yao shook the wine bottle in his hand, narrowed his eyes and asked Mu Mu'er, "Is it good?"

Bai Yao never expected that Mu Mu'er would nod seriously, and his eyes would respond to him sincerely.

"It's delicious." Mu Mu'er replied foolishly, even reaching for the wine bottle, "Mu'er take another sip."

"Come on, you little drunkard." Bai Yao couldn't help but confiscated the wine bottle, and stuffed Mu Muer's unfinished grape juice on the table for him.

Mu Muer didn't want to drink grape juice, so she curled her lips while holding the cup, and took a look inside. It was good not to bow her head, but Mu Muer's head was dizzy when she lowered her head, and she almost fell into the cup.

Bai Yao's eyes were sharp and his hands quickly supported Mu Mu'er's forehead to stabilize him.

Unexpectedly, just as his elder brother handed him over to him, Bai Yao had already made him drunk.

Thinking about it, Bai Yao smiled, the edges and corners of his face became softer, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise. Seeing Bai Yao laughing, Mu Muer tilted her head and looked at him curiously for a while, then she also started laughing along with her.

When Bai Yao stopped laughing, he was still laughing foolishly, Bai Yao stretched out his hand to poke Mu Mu'er's dimple when she laughed: "What are you laughing at?"

"I like to see Yaoyao smile."

The boy is so silly and cute, such a well-behaved little baby is now acting like a baby to himself.

Bai Yao pinched Mu Muer's face again, and grabbed his hand when his arm was hanging down: "Let's go, go upstairs to sleep."

When going upstairs, Mu Muer began to hum a song, a little tune with no tune, and hummed a few notes after walking a step, and by the time he reached the second floor, he had almost hummed a whole song.

Bai Yao stared at him taking a shower and brushing his teeth, and after he finished tidying up, he led him to the bed, let him lie down, and wrapped him into a ball with the quilt. Just as Bai Yao was about to turn around, Mu Muer stopped him in a low voice.

"Yao Yao."

Bai Yao turned around: "Huh?"

The room was very dark, he could only vaguely see Mu Muer pulling the quilt under his chin, and heard the boy's small voice: "I want to pee."

Bai Yao sighed softly, and had no choice but to strip him out of the quilt again, help Mu Mu'er into the bathroom, and let him stand by the toilet. Bai Yao turned around to go out, but just as he was about to close the door, Mu Muer called him, "Look, Yaoyao."

He turned his head and saw Mu Muer looking up at the ceiling, her eyes wide open and her mouth open, with a look of surprise.

Bai Yao was baffled, looked up in the direction Mu Muer pointed, but saw nothing, there was only a flower-shaped chandelier on the ceiling, the light bulb was warm yellow, illuminating the bathroom very brightly.

Before he had time to ask Mu Muer what he was looking at, he whispered, "There are so many stars."

It's drunk...

"It's bright, the big one looks like the moon, like a pie.

drunk.

Dead drunk.

I poured myself.

"Look, Yaoyao."

Just after watching the "stars" on the ceiling, Bai Yao hadn't figured out how to coax Mu Mu'er back to bed, but when he looked down, he had already taken off his pants and was standing in front of the toilet in a daze.

"Ancestor..." Bai Yao avoided his gaze, let alone stared at him, "You don't need to show it to me."

Mu Muer couldn't even stand still, let alone pee herself. She raised her head to look at the stars on the ceiling with a confused face, and counted, "One, two, three, four..." His head froze Looking up at a right angle, "There are so many, too many, Mu'er can't count them."

"Well, it's all Mu'er's stars." Bai Yao perfunctory him, stroking his back with one hand, afraid that he would fall directly backwards, "Can you solve it yourself?"

Mu Muer's answer was a staggering step, without lowering her head, she let out a somewhat puzzled "Huh?".

Bai Yao had no choice but to help him hold up the little bird, shake him clean after he went to the toilet, and then carried him back to the bed and stuffed him into the quilt to tuck him in.

The downstairs has not been tidied yet, and Bai Yao is just about to get up, and wants to mix a cup of honey water for hangover to Mu Muer after tidying up, so that he won't have a headache when he wakes up tomorrow morning.

But before she stood up from the bed, Mu Muer grabbed his finger and tugged gently.

"Don't go." His voice was soft and waxy, and it sounded like he was being coquettish, "You can't go." Mu Muer only grabbed one of Bai Yao's little fingers and squeezed it tightly to see if he was okay. Responding, she even leaned towards her side lightly, wanting to let Bai Yao go to bed too, "Muer's, Yaoyao."

After living together for so long, Bai Yao also knew that Mu Muer liked to be accompanied by him when he slept, so he sat down by the bed and brushed the loose hair from his forehead, his movements became much gentler.

Seeing that Mu Muer was half asleep and half awake, he tried to chat with him. Bai Yao leaned close to Mu Muer's ear: "Why can't Yaoyao leave?"

Mu Muer blinked her eyes twice, then said slowly after closing her eyes: "Because..."

After only two words, he fell silent again.

Bai Yao waited for a long time, waiting for Mu Muer to say why, but when he took a closer look, he was already asleep, with his head tilted on the pillow, and he was still clutching his fingers tightly.

The little sea otter has a big heart, a heartless little heartless.

He gave a low laugh, couldn't hold it back, and lightly touched Mu Muer's face. It was too light to touch, a little lighter than the brushing of a feather, but Mu Muer still felt his touch, and subconsciously moved a little closer to Bai Yao's palm.

Mu Mu'er's face was very soft, her skin was smooth and tender, Bai Yao touched it, but she didn't touch it enough, so she just put her palm on his face, just holding it like a shell holding its pearl.

For a moment, he felt as if he was holding a gem more expensive than Oppenheimer's Blue in his hand, which would not be exchanged for a thousand dollars or the whole world.

Bai Yao's fingertips were slightly cool, and Mu Muer's cheeks seemed to be a few degrees warmer than his fingers. As soon as he turned his head, his lips stuck to Bai Yao's palm, rising and falling with the rhythm of his breathing, as if he was breathing. Kiss his palm.

"Little alcoholic, don't drink next time, or there will be stars not only on the ceiling, but all over the room."

"Why are you so annoying." Bai Yao murmured softly, "No wonder your brother wanted to rob you from me."

"But it's not taken away, you're still mine."

He sat in the same position for a long time, unable to move, and did not want to move, even watching Mu Muer sleep all night.

Bai Yao thought about it, and remembered the few words Mu Yi said before he left. He went through it many times in his mind throughout the night, reminiscing carefully.

"Bai Yao, do you know why I am willing to let him stay?"

"I've never seen my brother rely on someone so dependent. He looks at you much more kindly than he looks at me."

"I have unconditional trust in Mu'er. This is something I have finally figured out for six years. I will never be able to make up for what I did to him, but at least the trust I gave him can be regarded as a beginning. Others, the future will be slow." Take your time."

"So whoever he believes in, I believe in too."

Bai Yao looked down at the peacefully sleeping boy in front of him, his gaze fell on his lips.

He swallowed, and bent down in a strange way, but at the last second of kissing, Bai Yao tried his best to stop, finally straightened up slowly, and sighed softly.

Mu Mu'er doesn't understand the meaning of kissing now, and Bai Yao is not sure what his feelings for her are.

He just made sure that no matter whether Mu Muer likes him for his friends or more than his friends, he can accept it and is willing to stay with him all the time.

You can take it slowly in the future, until he can openly say to Mu Muer: I want to kiss you.

At that time, he hoped that his Mu Mu'er would truly understand the meaning of this kiss.

Before that, he will always be with Mu Muer and protect him wholeheartedly.

Bai Yao finally placed the kiss on the left corner of Mu Muer's lips.

The original life is the same, every day is lived alone, get up at 6:00 in the morning and then rest after a busy day, and have exactly the same things to do the next day, and move forward step by step.

It's okay, it's the life he chose, and he likes it.

But now a little sea otter came, and that was different.

Beside the footprints left by Bai Yao, there are paw prints of a little sea otter, round one by one, walking with him.

It was as if a small shell was thrown into the pond, and after the ripples, the water was a little bit full.
