Bai Yao said twenty minutes, and Mu Muer obediently counted the seconds, and looked back at the wall clock from time to time to see if another minute had passed.

He felt that the twenty minutes passed too slowly, and he especially hoped that Bai Yao would be able to open the door and come in in the blink of an eye.

Mu Muer shook her legs and was thinking about what delicious food Bai Yao would make tonight, when the doorbell downstairs suddenly rang.

After hearing the doorbell, Mu Muer raised her head first, subconsciously thinking that it was Bai Yao who had returned, but immediately realized that it was probably not, Bai Yao couldn't ring the doorbell, he had the key.

Aunt Zhang came here once this morning and brought her steamed soup dumplings. After heating up, she smiled and watched as Mu Muer finished eating before she left. She probably won't come again.

Mu Muer didn't intend to talk to her, Bai Yao said that strangers should not open the door casually.

But two minutes later, the doorbell rang again. He couldn't help his curiosity, so he went downstairs to take a look. It shouldn't matter if he just took a look, but he didn't open the door.

Mu Muer quietly went down the stairs, hid in the window on the side of the restaurant and looked out, at the angle he stood, people outside had to turn around to see him.

Standing at the door was a completely unknown stranger, with a thin body, wearing a graffiti T-shirt and overalls, with a silver-white hoodie on top, and his hair was dyed with blue-gray highlights.

At first glance, he was not from a small town.

Occasionally, there are customers who want to come to the restaurant to eat, and they don't know the opening hours, so they come early.

Bai Yao used to see people coming, so he opened the door himself to inform him that it was still closed. Later, when there were more people, he posted the business schedule on the door. After that, no one ever rang the doorbell when the door was not open.

But the man clearly saw the business hours, but he didn't intend to leave. He stood by the door for a while, looked around the yard and then walked a few steps inside, curiously studying the swimming pool that Bai Yao bought for Mu Mu'er.

Mu Muer began to feel anxious.

It's okay to look at his swimming pool, but there are still his most precious little shells hidden underneath!

Could it be that he wants to take away his shells, but you can't steal his little shells!

He endured it, but the man didn't leave. Instead, he knelt down and poked his pool with his fingers. It was very close to where he hid the shells. If he raised the pool a little, he could see it directly.

Mu Muer couldn't hold back in the end, opened the door and ran out. According to what Bai Yao taught him before, he tried his best to make his voice firmer, and said behind the man: "We are closed today."

He was a little unhappy that the man directly reached out to touch his swimming pool, he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes, and added in a very low voice after he finished speaking, "Don't take Mu'er's shell..."

The man didn't seem to have expected that there were actually people in the shop. He jumped up slightly when he heard someone speak suddenly behind him. When he turned around, his eyes were wide open, as if he was about to run away.

Mu Mu'er didn't expect him to jump up from the ground suddenly, and was startled by his reaction, the corners of her mouth curled down a little.

For a while, the two of them didn't move, they stood there with big eyes and small eyes.

The man came back to his senses first, and subconsciously raised his hand to rub his chest.

"Well, I know, I saw the notice on the door." He smiled at Mu Muer, "I'm here to find your boss."

After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Wen Yue." After a pause, he added: "A snow rabbit."

The person in front of him was very delicate, he looked somewhat indistinguishable, his face was tender and white, well maintained, just like a soft and harmless little white rabbit.

Mu Mu'er almost thought he was a young lady, but only realized it was a beautiful little brother when she heard the voice.

He still didn't forget to be polite, and bowed slightly to him, "Hello."

Wen Yue.

This name is a bit familiar, as if I heard it before, but Mu Muer couldn't remember it at all. She lowered her head and thought for a long time, her mind went blank, and only thought of his name as Wen Yue. He also said that he was a rabbit.

Mu Muer immediately thought of the mobile game she particularly liked to play, and asked cautiously, "Yuetu...is that you..."

Wen Yue didn't understand, she tilted her head: "Huh?"

He didn't have the patience to wait for Mu Muer to finish speaking, so he went straight to the point and asked why he came here: "Is your boss Bai Yao? Do you know him?"

As soon as Mu Muer heard the name Bai Yao, she laughed. How could she not know her? Not only did she know her, but she also knew her very well, the way she held hands and slept together at night.

"I know you." His voice turned upwards, "Yaoyao is all right now."

Hearing Mu Muer's way of calling Bai Yao, the smile on Wen Yue's face subsided a little, and she thought about it: "Well, he's pretty good."

It turned out that this person also knew Bai Yao, and Mu Muer was even happier. He decided not to touch his swimming pool again, and wanted to steal his shells, so he asked him generously: "Would you like to come in, Muer?" You, give you some water to drink."

The way he speaks is a little different from ordinary people. Wen Yue was stunned for a while, and finally smiled at him a little stiffly, and nodded: "Okay."

Mu Muer brought Wen Yue into the restaurant, and poured a glass of warm water in the kitchen. He originally wanted to add lime slices in it, because he had seen Bai Yao often do this to customers, but he didn't know what to do with limes. After cutting it open, I felt that it might not be right to throw the whole thing into the water, so I had to give up in the end.

He was afraid that Wenyue would not drink enough, so he poured the warm water to the full, and carefully carried the water out.

"Brother Wen Yue, do you like to drink plain water or fruit juice?" Mu Muer put the water glass on the table, "Yaoyao made passion fruit juice, there is still in the fridge, Mu'er brings it to Brother Wen Yue."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Wen Yue to answer, he turned and walked to the kitchen, thinking about pouring him juice.

But just as Mu Muer turned around, Wen Yue suddenly said, "What's your relationship with him?"

Wen Yue's voice is very soft, it sounds like it's been dipped in syrup, it's clear and sweet, it's a nice and comfortable voice.

"Yaoyao belongs to Mu'er..." Mu Mu'er didn't finish speaking, he was still thinking about adding a few words after that, but Wen Yue thought he had finished speaking.

He looked Mu Muer up and down calmly, subconsciously raised his chin, and the smile in his eyes became stronger.

"When he comes back, can you help tell him that I'm looking for him?" Wen Yue smiled slightly, "Tell him that I miss him very much, and tell him that I'm at the hotel in town. If he wants to come, I'll wait for him."

Seeing Mu Muer's gradually aggrieved expression and the slightly drooping corners of her mouth, Wen Yue added another sentence in a crisp and cheerful voice: "Oh, by the way, I'm his ex-boyfriend."

—

Jing Xiaoqing gave birth very smoothly, and it only took a few hours from the time of delivery to the birth. The nurse said that it was a girl, and the mother and daughter were safe. To avoid suspicion, Bai Yao didn't go to see it, but called Jing Xiaoqing, saying that if she needed help when she went to the confinement center, she would definitely call him.

It will take a month for confinement, and Jing Xiaoqing will have to wait a long time before returning home. Bai Yao made an agreement with her to pick her up at that time.

Bai Yao was thinking that Mu Mu'er was alone at home, and returned to Qiaohai Town on time the day after Jing Xiaoqing gave birth.

The train at ten o'clock in the morning was delayed, and it was already an hour after Bai Yao arrived in town.

He was worried that Mu Muer was waiting for him in a hurry, and when he was waiting in line to get off the train, he just wanted to send him a text message, when the phone rang, and when he clicked on it, the boy sent him an emoji.

Bai Yao found that set of emoticons for him. He happened to see someone posting it in a group, so he immediately downloaded it for Mu Muer. The emoji package is called Sea Otter Dumplings, and every little sea otter in it is drawn round and round, like a rice dumpling, with a cute and lovable expression.

Xiaomao Tuo: [Woo~]

The little sea otter is a round ball, with a few teardrops at the end of his eyes, looking very pitiful.

It really looks a bit like Mu Muer after she transformed.

Bai Yao almost laughed out loud in the crowded train station.

Before he got home, he bumped into Aunt Zhang who just came out for a walk. Bai Yao greeted him politely, "Aunt Zhang."

"Xiao Yao is back."

Aunt Zhang and Bai Yao said a few more things about Mu Muer's life these few days, reassuring him that nothing happened, but the child missed him, and he would mention Bai Yao every day when he passed by. he.

Bai Yao was thinking about Mu Mu'er, talking to Aunt Zhang, but keeping his eyes on the location of the restaurant. Aunt Zhang saw it at a glance, and said considerately: "Mu'er is waiting for you every day, go home quickly, and take the child with you next time if you have something to do, don't let him miss you every day."

Bai Yao responded, thanked him and walked quickly towards home.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Mu Muer unexpectedly did not wait for him at the door. Bai Yao originally thought that he would move a small bench and squat behind the courtyard door.

He took out the key to open the door, but the key could not be turned in the lock, and he realized that the door was open and not locked at all.

Feeling a little uneasy suddenly in his heart, Bai Yao frowned slightly, opened the door and entered the room.

Before he could say "Mu'er", his eyes fell on a familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the middle of the restaurant, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and his pupils constricted.

Wen Yue heard the door knock, turned around, and when she saw Bai Yao, she showed a pleasant smile.

"Hi."

When Wen Yue left two years ago, she didn't even bother to say hello. Now when she saw Bai Yao coming in, her eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth not to apologize, but to say "Hi" as if she saw an old friend.

Bai Yao understood what happened in an instant, and his eyes didn't stay on Wen Yue for more than five seconds, but directly fell on Mu Mu'er behind the restaurant.

The boy cowered at the door of the kitchen, his eyes were a little moist, he seemed to be crying but he didn't seem to, as if he didn't even realize that Bai Yao was back.

With long legs, Bai Yao walked up to Mu Mu'er in two or three steps, put his shoulders on his shoulders and told him to turn around: "Baby, look at me."

Mu Mu'er's eyes were also a little wet, Bai Yao raised his hand to wipe it off gently for him, held his face and coaxed softly: "It's okay, don't cry."

Only now did the boy look up at Bai Yao, and the grievance on his face became stronger. He took a small step forward, stuffed himself into Bai Yao's arms, and naturally leaned his face against his chest.

His voice was muffled, as if he was coquettish: "I've been waiting for a long, long time..."

"I didn't cry." Mu Muer sobbed, "Muer misses Yaoyao so much."

Wen Yue said, "Brother Yao..."

Bai Yao felt angry, and before Wen Yue could finish speaking, he interrupted him in a cold voice, without even bothering to look at him, and chased him away: "The restaurant opens at four o'clock in the evening, and it is closed now, please get out .”

It's not easy for Wen Yue to get along in the model circle. She looks good and is not tall. She can get to where she is today, all supported by her family's money. I don't know which powerful boss she has clinged to. .

He doesn't have much real ability, but his face has been tempered a bit. He is not annoyed when Bai Yao yells at him like this.

I don't know if Wen Yue could hear the anger in Bai Yao's tone. He was inexplicably attracted to Bai Yao's fierce and unruly appearance, and approached him by accident: "I miss you a little, and I want to come and see."

Bai Yao hugged Mu Muer and took a step back, protecting the boy behind him, stretched out a finger to Wen Yue's chest, stopped his pace, and said coldly, "Don't get so close to me."

Bai Yao would despise him even if he touched him with one more finger.

Standing behind Bai Yao, Mu Mu'er gently grabbed the corner of his clothes. Bai Yao didn't look back, but reached behind him and squeezed the boy's slightly trembling hand.

"Can you afford to scare him?" Bai Yao's voice softened a little, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "What did you say to him?"

"I didn't say anything, I just talked about our relationship." Wen Yuerou's appearance finally showed a few cracks, "I haven't seen you for two years, why are you still so fierce."

"I don't seem to have anything to do with you anymore?"

"I haven't seen you for two years. I miss you a lot. I'm busy with work and haven't been able to come. I want to see if there is no one around you..." Wen Yue didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was already obvious, he licked He licked his lips and continued, "Those people are not as good as you, and their cooking is not as good as yours."

Bai Yao stared at him coldly without saying a word, wanting to see what else he could say.

"Have a little boyfriend?" Wen Yue's eyes fell on the hands they were holding together, and the smile on her face became a little unnatural, "It's pretty cute, you haven't come back just now, I just talked to him for a while." Chatted a few words."

As Wen Yue spoke, she wanted to approach Bai Yao again, but Bai Yao yelled at him as soon as he lifted his foot.

"You **** stay away from him."

After being yelled at several times in a row, Wen Yue finally couldn't help it anymore, her gentle and harmless appearance completely disappeared, "Did you choose him but not me? You are too much Bai Yao, I am so much better than him."

"He's...he's not even a normal person!"

Mu Mu'er couldn't understand what the two were talking about, but he could feel that Bai Yao was angry, very angry, and even holding his hand so tightly that it started to hurt a little.

And mixed with the burning anger, there seemed to be a layer of faint sadness.

All of this should be because of this man named Wen Yue.

Mu Muer doesn't know how to quarrel, she wants to help Bai Yao but she doesn't know what to say, she just vaguely feels that...

His Yaoyao seemed to be being bullied.

Mu Muer's angry reaction was not to attack back with words, he felt that was impolite. The first thing he thought of was transformation, because after he became a sea otter, he had two pointed teeth, which looked much more ferocious than when he was in human form, and they could be used to roar.

After Mu Muer made the decision, she slowly let go of Bai Yao's hand. Before the two of them could react, he had already taken off his clothes quickly. Two canine teeth came out.

Wen Yue's attention was attracted, and when her eyes fell on the little sea otter on the ground, she burst out laughing.

"It's not good to be a good person, but to be a small animal. What a fool."

To be able to become a human has to be transformed into the original body, Wen Yue looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, she looked at Mu Mu'er almost from the tip of her nose, with the vibe of a dandy young master all over her body.

He said to Bai Yao with some contempt: "Brother Yao, I really didn't expect you to fall in love with such a person."

"He is many times better than you." Bai Yao took two steps forward, staring down at Wen Yue's eyes.

Wen Yue felt that she seemed to see a flash of killing intent in his eyes, and her voice trembled uncontrollably, "You, what do you want to do?"

One step after another, Bai Yao has transformed into a snow leopard, with his ears pressed against the top of his head, and a threatening grunt from the depths of his throat.

Wen Yue's face turned pale from fright in an instant, and she backed away trembling.

The human form of the herbivorous animal spirit will not be scared speechless by the human form of the ferocious beast, at most it is just a little in awe, but now that Bai Yao has transformed, a top-level ferocious beast looks much more ferocious than a human, he With a slight grin, two sharp fangs were exposed, and his eyes were as cold as water drops falling from a glacier.

The snow leopard has the title of snow mountain ghost, and Wen Yue is just a rabbit no matter what, has become a human being, and the fear of beasts in her bones cannot be overcome in this life.

The top beast in the food chain stood with a rabbit spirit whose body was a ball, and the result could be imagined.

Wen Yue couldn't help shivering all over her body. When she stepped back, she stumbled and fell limp on the ground, unable to stand up. She yelled boldly: "Bai Yao, do you know who I am! I, you, you dare to move!" I!"

Suddenly a fluffy ball came up beside him, Bai Yao looked down, Mu Mu'er was sticking close to him, also showing two fangs, growling softly at Wen Yue.

He is heartless, even if others attack him, he will go up to him.

With a flick of his long tail, Bai Yao gently wrapped around the body of the little sea otter behind him, blocking him and preventing him from taking another step forward.

Why is there a boy like Xin Dacheng in the world who doesn't know how wronged. Mu Mu'er was dissatisfied with Bai Yao's blocking her, and continued to move forward, her teeth were just a little short of being able to bite Wen Yue's leg.

The snow leopard's paws were huge, and it slapped Mu Mu'er's head tightly, and then pushed the boy behind her.

The little sea otter blinked under the snow leopard's paw, "?"

Wen Yue was completely frightened and froze, she froze on the ground without any reaction, only the sound of her teeth chattering.

Bai Yao saw that he still didn't leave, so he didn't intend to let him go.

Snow leopards are a little different from other cats. Their throats have a special structure. Unlike tigers and lions, they are not born with deafening roars. They can only have a roar-like vibration deep in their throats, and their voices are low and threatening.

Wen Yue felt for a moment that this snow leopard was really going to pounce on him and tear him into pieces, but when he wanted to stand up, his legs were weak, his face turned as white as snow, and he couldn't stop shivering.

When he got up from the ground, he stumbled and knocked his elbow on the ground, but he didn't care about it, and fled out of the restaurant in a panic.

Bai Yao didn't go after Wen Yue, but followed Wen Yue, seeing that he was definitely not coming back, so he slowly squatted down on the ground. Mu Muer clung close to his side, quietly accompanied Bai Yao, raised her head to look at him with bright eyes, and finally leaned her head against him.

There was a warm fur ball beside him, Bai Yao couldn't hold back, he lowered his head and licked the top of Mu Mu'er's head a few times with his barbed tongue to smooth his fur.

The fur of the sea otter was too thick, Bai Yao licked it several times, but he didn't get it through.

He didn't change form, he got up and walked upstairs directly, Snow Leopard's body was dexterous, Bai Yao had already stood on the top of the stairs with a few light jumps, squatting on the ground waiting for Mu Mu'er.

The little sea otter crawled for a long time before reaching the upstairs, half lying on the ground panting, saw Bai Yao squatting there waiting for him, then leaned up squirmingly, raised his little head and looked at him obediently.

Bai Yao waited for him to catch his breath, then got up and went into the closet to transform into clothes. Mu Muer didn't follow in, but squatted on the ground at the door and waited for him.

It was already two years ago, Bai Yao didn't hold grudges against Wen Yue, but just wanted to forget about him completely, who would have thought that if he lived a good life, he would still be approached by someone he never wanted to see again for the rest of his life.

Bai Yao was so uncomfortable that he felt that it was his fault for not taking good care of Mu Mu'er, so he took a little longer to get dressed to calm down.

After changing clothes and coming out, Mu Muer still looked like a sea otter, lying on the ground at the door of the closet, with her chin resting on her front paws, looking a little aggrieved.

Bai Yao squatted down, rubbed Mu Mu'er's soft and furry head, and carried the boy directly from the cold ground to the bed, "Everyone is gone, let's transform back."

After Mu Muer got dressed, Bai Yao took his hand and went downstairs.

I have to be busy with some things about the opening in the evening. The store has been closed for two days, so it is unreasonable not to open today.

He had something on his mind, so he didn't say much after he went downstairs.

Mu Mu'er's mood was not affected too much, but she just wandered around Bai Yao's side after busy work, watching him busy, not sure why he stopped talking all of a sudden.

"Yaoyao." He finally asked, "Who is he?"

Bai Yao put down the things in his hand, took Mu Mu'er's hand and took him to the dining table outside, and asked him to sit down before answering: "A friend of Yaoyao before, a very bad friend, is not anymore. .”

"Boy...friend?" Mu Mu'er still remembered the word Wen Yue said, and kept thinking about it.

He was a little slow to respond to many things, but now he is extremely sensitive. He felt that he and Bai Yao were the best and closest relationship among friends, but he felt that adding gender before friends seemed to represent a deeper relationship.

Mu Mu'er stopped talking, Bai Yao thought he was a little unhappy and had something to do with Wen Yue, so he couldn't suppress the discomfort and guilt in his heart.

Yes, before he met Mu Muer, he did live with Wen Yue for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it to Mu Muer, for fear that he would feel bad, or that he would be sad.

He wanted to apologize, hugged him, hid Mu Muer in the small closet upstairs, pulled some clothes over his head, wrapped the boy into a ball, so that he would not be hurt again. Little damage.

"He bullied Yaoyao?" Without waiting for Bai Yao's answer, Mu Mu'er continued, "Mu'er helped Yaoyao bully her back and avenged Yaoyao. From now on, Mu'er will protect Yaoyao."

Bai Yao didn't react for a while, and it took him a long time to realize that the boy didn't mind at all.

That was what he was thinking.

Before this, Bai Yao never thought that Mu Muer would be willing to protect him. All along, he regarded himself as Mu Muer's protector and regarded Mu Muer as an object he needed to protect. There's nothing wrong with this, he is willing, likes to treat Mu Muer as a treasure.

But now he finds that this is not the case, Mu Muer is willing to protect him, and even has the ability to protect him. His position in Mu Muer's heart is no lower than that of the boy in his own heart.

They are the most important people in each other's life.

Mu Muer is not just a soft and sticky little sea otter, he also has minions, who can protect the people he likes and cares about behind him, and protect him wholeheartedly.

Even if that person is a snow mountain ghost with sharp teeth and claws.

Why is he so good, he should be the most obedient and cutest little sea otter in the world.

In fact, based on what happened just now, it is still unclear who bullied whom. If Bai Yao really had this idea, he would have the ability to bite Wen Yue to death.

He also didn't care about Wen Yue's hurting him for a long time. He saw through the nature of that rabbit, so he didn't need to pester him, just forget it in the future.

Bai Yao reached out and touched Mu Mu'er's head: "No."

Mu Mu'er didn't quite trust Bai Yao, so she finally changed the question: "Boyfriend, what do you mean?"

Knowing that Mu Muer would be curious about this, Bai Yao patiently explained to the boy, his tone as soft as ever, "Besides blood relationship, people who love and love very much can be kissed and hugged."

After deliberating, he added: "My boyfriend is someone I really, really like, more than everyone put together, I think he is the best and gentlest person in the world, I want to see him every day, and sleep with him at night. "

Mu Muer captured the details he cared about the most: "Can I kiss you?"

"Well, not only kiss, but also do more things."

Mu Mu'er didn't quite understand what "more things" Bai Yao said, and he didn't care, he only thought about that kiss, and he wanted to kiss, every day, and the whole world just wanted to be with Bai Yao. Yao is alone.

He remembered the kiss on the beach that day, it was a gift he gave Bai Yao, and wanted to tell him that he liked him very much.

Bai Yao didn't kiss him.

Mu Muer wanted it.

If you become a boyfriend, you can kiss, right?

Well, definitely yes.

Mu Muer's eyes already had a bit of anticipation, and there was a bit of uncontrollable excitement in her voice, and the ending turned up: "Can I kiss every day?"

Bai Yao replied patiently: "Well, anytime is fine, this is one of the privileges of being a boyfriend."

Mu Muer stared at Bai Yao without blinking her eyes, what she was thinking in her heart was revealed on her face without reservation, that little bit of longing was clearly shown.

The more Bai Yao looked at him, the more he liked him, very much. In fact, from the first day I saw him, this love has gradually expanded and grown, like a snowball, gradually getting bigger and bigger. So liking turned into love after all, until it was beyond words and could no longer be hidden.

But he didn't dare to say it, because he was afraid that Mu Mu'er would not understand, and that the emotion between the two of them would not reach that level.

Bai Yao suddenly realized that he might be wrong, completely wrong.

"Good boy." Bai Yao pinched Mu Mu'er's ears, and after he looked at him, he said slowly, "Transformation."

The two have been together for so long, and Bai Yao has never taken the initiative to make Mu Muer transform into a sea otter. He has always been used to this little habit of his, but he never actively supports it.

This is the first time.

Mu Mu'er couldn't turn the corner, she didn't speak for a while, and then hesitated for a while before she asked in doubt: "Huh?"

Bai Yao wrapped his arms around Mu Mu'er's waist, leaned his head down, and rubbed his head against his shoulder, his voice was hoarse and deep.

"Lend me to squeeze your fur."
