Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little - Chapter 74

At nine o’clock in the evening, the restaurant was already closed, Bai Yao was in the kitchen cooking dinner for two, thinking wildly.

He desperately hopes that Mu Muer can get in touch with more people, become more daring, and understand more truths. But at the same time, he was extremely afraid that Mu Muer would be hurt, just like when he was yelled at by that guest tonight, for a moment, he wanted to take Mu Muer away and hide him in the crevice of the small stone, so that he would never Don’t be bullied by anyone.

A normal person can defend himself and scold back when necessary, but Mu Muer can’t. Not only because of his lack of intelligence, but also because he is too kind and simple, and thinks well of everyone.

Even when Bai Yao wanted him to yell back, what Mu Muer thought was that she could transform herself, so that others would like her more.

The water in the pot boiled, and Bai Yao recovered from his messed up thoughts.

For dinner, he made seafood cream pasta. It is a fresh but not greasy pasta, suitable for eating while it is hot. It is a bit high in fat, so it is not often made.

After the oil is heated in the pan, fry the seafood and seasonings until cooked, add milk and dry noodles. Bai Yao is used to cooking noodles directly in milk, so that the noodles taste faster, which is more delicious than adding them after boiling them first. After the pasta is cooked, the sauce is ready.

Add some fresh basil leaves, cheese and minced garlic when it comes out of the pan to enhance the flavor.

He thought that Mu Muer didn’t like milk, so he replaced the cream and fresh milk in the recipe with sugar-free almond milk, although even if the original recipe was used, the pasta would not taste like milk in the end.

When the meal was almost ready, Bai Yao shouted outside that it was time to eat, but there was no reply.

Going out to see, Mu Muer had just finished talking on the phone with Mu Yi, she tossed the phone in her hand to play, her two straight and slender legs were dangling under the chair. He didn’t wear shoes, revealing a section of white and thin ankles.

Every time Mu Mu’er and Mu Yi talk on the phone, it’s Mu Yi who is talking, a person with a cold face and few words seems to have endless things to say to his brother.

Mu Mu’er often starts to be in a daze when she listens to it, her eyes are staring, her mind has drifted to nowhere, probably she is counting how many small shells there are in the world.

The last time Bai Yao went upstairs after finishing his work, he saw Mu Mu’er turned into a sea otter, laying on the carpet in a drowsy state, and on the phone next to him, Mu Yi was still reminding him that the weather is getting cold these days, remember to put on his clothes , brother has time to go to see you.

Mu Yi had no idea that he was talking to a little sea otter.

For some reason, Bai Yao didn’t call Mu Mu’er, but went back to the kitchen and looked at him from the window above the door. Mu Muer didn’t run in as usual, walked around him twice, and then helped him put the plate on the table.

Bai Yao took out two servings of pasta from the pot, sprayed the kitchen countertop with detergent, and observed Mu Muer who was sitting outside.

Unaware that he was being stared at, the boy swung his legs and hummed softly, pausing only when he heard squirrels running across the branches outside, and then began humming softly again.

After humming a song, Mu Muer turned her attention to the few small shells spread out on the table in front of her, and happily played with them, as if a few silly hairs stood on the top of her head.

Ever since Mu Yi came, Bai Yao has always had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and now, he seems to suddenly understand what this feeling is.

It should be liking, gradually growing liking, liking this boy more and more, and wanting to be with him all the time.

even want to…

Want to kiss and hug.

When he walked out, Mu Muer was still lying on the table and staring at his shell, her eyes were round and in a daze, so that a sea otter-shaped soul was about to come out of her body.

Bai Yao bent his index finger and tapped the table in front of him lightly, making him turn his attention to himself, before he asked, “Are you hungry?”

Mu Muer was stunned for a while, then put her chin on the table and shook her head. Seeing Bai Yao’s serious face, he looked around guiltily, and finally his eyes fell on his mobile phone.

“Yaoyao wants to find brother?”

Bai Yao was thinking about something and didn’t answer right away.

Mu Muer looked down at the phone that had been hung up in her hand, and muttered softly: “There is no brother.”

He spoke slowly, Bai Yao was startled after hearing a few words, and almost thought that something happened to Mu Yi, so he heard Mu Muer finish what he didn’t finish, “Brother is dead, Yaoyao can only go down.” Look for it again.”

Bai Yao: “…”

After Mu Mu’er finished speaking, she turned her attention to the plate that Bai Yao put on the table, her eyes lit up. Normally, Bai Yao didn’t often cook such delicious food. He said that it was too greasy and bad for his health. Only when he was in a good mood could Mu Muer eat creamy pasta.

He arched forward a little, licked his lips and prepared to eat.

Without even thinking about it, Bai Yao put the plate back, and before Mu Muer could protest, he asked first, “What did brother say to Muer just now?”

Mu Muer was thinking about eating, so without thinking about it, she blurted out: “Ask Yaoyao if he bullied Muer.”

“I also asked Yaoyao if he made Mu’er hungry, and asked if they slept together at night, and whether they were covered with the same quilt.” While speaking, Mu Muer’s eyes were glued to Bai Yao’s hand. On the plate, the eyes are staring straight at it without blinking.

Bai Yao was amused in his heart, stretched out his hand and flicked the boy’s forehead, and waited for him to turn his gaze to his face before asking, “How did you answer?”

“Sleeping together! Every day, Yaoyao sticks to each other and covers the same quilt.” After thinking about it, he added in a low voice, “It’s not that the same quilt can’t hold hands.”

“Well, what then?”

“In the end, I said that you can’t tell Yaoyao about these things. This is a secret between Mu’er and brother.” Mu Muer blinked innocently, “Mu’er said it all, now we can eat.”

A little bit of delicious food will be recruited, and it is agreed that torture will be used to extract confessions.

I don’t know if he really didn’t think too much or was just pretending to be stupid.

Bai Yao raised his hand to rub Mu Muer’s head, put the plate in front of him, and watched him pick up the fork and happily start eating.

The boy’s eating speed is finally a little slower now. He was hungry before, and when he saw something to eat, he instinctively protected the food. One hand was always holding the bowl or plate in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, for fear of being robbed. It’s different now, Mu Muer eats very slowly, taking a long time to chew a bite before swallowing it, Bai Yao wonders if he finally has a sense of security.

Watching him eat is also a kind of enjoyment, Bai Yao rested his chin and watched him eat the pasta he made, with a slight smile unconsciously on the corners of his lips.

He desperately hoped that the relationship between them could be closer and become family members, or even closer than family members.

Like that kiss I received on the beach last time…

After taking two or three mouthfuls, Mu Mu’er stopped eating. She raised her eyelids and stared at Bai Yao’s plate in a daze.

“What’s the matter?” Bai Yao thought for a moment that he forgot to add salt, so he tasted it, and it tasted quite good.

Mu Muer begged in a low voice: “I want to try Yaoyao’s.”

“The two dishes are exactly the same boy.” Bai Yao almost laughed out loud.

They were all made in the same pot, there was no difference at all, he added some more seafood to Mu Muer’s plate, and stuffed a total of five prawns into it.

“But Yaoyao’s looks more delicious.” Mu Muer’s eyes started to straighten when she looked at it, as if Bai Yao was starving him.

Bai Yao sighed, so he had no choice but to push his own plate over, and Mu Muer’s eyes were glued to it until the plate was in front of him.

He himself forgot to eat, and he rested his chin and looked at Mu Muer’s deliciously cooked rice, and he was lost in thought.

Little gluttonous sea otter.

Before going to bed at night, Qi Crow called. He didn’t have anything important to say, and talked about a bunch of irrelevant things.

Bai Yao listened to his nagging and complaining, mixed in a few sentences from time to time, and tried to give some suggestions. He and Qi Ya have been like this since they were in school, Qi Ya has always talked a lot, he can talk about any unimportant things for a long time, and Bai Yao is willing to listen.

Hearing a sound from the other side of the door, he raised his eyes, just in time to see Mu Muer poking his head in from the door of the room.

Mu Muer had just finished taking a shower, and came in to sleep wearing a loose pajamas. He saw Bai Yao talking on the phone, so he didn’t dare to call his name too loudly, and mouthed him: “Yaoyao.”

Mu Muer’s eyes were eager, with a little hope. He was worried about disturbing Bai Yao, so he stood at the door of the room, hesitating not to come in, with one foot inside the door and the other outside.

“I’ll hang up first, and we’ll talk tomorrow.” Bai Yao was about to take the phone away from his ear, but Qi Ya suddenly yelled.

“Don’t!”

Bai Yao thought he was in a hurry, but after waiting for a long time, Qi Ya didn’t speak. He almost thought that the signal was not good, and just about to say “Hello”, Qi Ya choked out: “Wait, there’s something else to do.”

Qi Ya is straightforward, always saying something, and never thinking too much about it.

Bai Yao hadn’t seen him when he couldn’t speak, so he felt that he was a little abnormal today.

“Hurry up if you have something to say, I’m waiting for bed.” Bai Yao pointed at Mu Mu’er, telling him to come and go to bed.

Mu Mu’er has a cute little habit of jumping on top of the quilt every day when she goes to bed, no matter whether Bai Yao just made the quilt or not.

He liked the feeling of plunging up and sinking into the soft bed, as if falling into the clouds in the sky.

But today he didn’t dare, for fear of disturbing Bai Yao’s phone call.

Without this bedtime ritual, he felt unsteady all over. After tilting his head and thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a good idea. Mu Muer jumped forward a few steps, and when she got to the bed, she jumped cautiously, and her upper body fell onto the bed, not like pounced, but more like she was treated as a quilt, and gently covered the bed.

Bai Yao was amused by his silly look, and stretched out his hand to let Mu Muer sit beside him, only giving 20% ​​of his attention to Qi Ya on the other end of the phone.

He raised his hand to touch Mu Mu’er’s small chin, and moved his fingers up to play with his soft earlobes.

A few drops of water fell on the back of his hand, Bai Yao rubbed Mu Mu’er’s head, it was still dripping wet.

He went to bed without drying his hair again, and he found that the boy really didn’t like to use the hair dryer, and he didn’t know if it was because he hated it for being noisy or because he didn’t like the hot air inside.

There was no towel at hand, so he grabbed the corner of his T-shirt and rubbed Mu Muer’s head. Mu Muer leaned obediently beside him, with his head under his hand, and Bai Yao always felt that he would snore in comfort. up.

“Have you been on Weibo recently?”

Hearing Qi Ya’s inexplicable question, Bai Yao remembered that there was still someone on the phone, turned his gaze away from Mu Muer, and pulled the quilt to make the boy lie down.

Bai Yao’s life is very simple, and he doesn’t spend much time with his mobile phone, let alone browse Weibo. He thought for a while before he remembered what Weibo is, and answered briefly: “No.”

“oh.”

There was something in Qi Ya’s words, Bai Yao knew him well, and knew why he couldn’t say it. What was going on in Qi Crow’s mind, Bai Yao had never been able to figure it out, sometimes he felt that his friends were just like the crows flying around in the sky, inexplicable.

“Let’s take a look, really.” Qi Ya continued after a long time, “I won’t say it directly, you can see for yourself.”

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be waiting for Bai Yao to go to Weibo now, as long as he wanted.

Bai Yao didn’t take it seriously, so he said casually: “Got it, I’ll watch it tomorrow. The kid is waiting for me to sleep, hang up.”

Qi Ya was overjoyed when he heard it, “Child? You scream so…”

Before he could finish the word “intimacy”, Bai Yao hung up the phone.

Seeing that Bai Yao had finished speaking, Mu Muer immediately put a sticker on his side, raised her head to look at him, and asked in a low voice, “Are you sleeping?”

His eyes were shining brightly, as if they contained crushed starlight. The boy liked the period before going to bed the most. Bai Yao never took it seriously, and it was only after a long time that he realized that it was because he liked to hold hands with him unscrupulously.

Bai Yao lightly smiled and rubbed his hair, and replied, “Well, you go to bed first.”

He hadn’t been on Weibo for hundreds of years. He forgot that there was such a software in his mobile phone. He searched for a long time before finding out where it was. He leaned on the bedside and clicked on the icon.

The advertisement on the startup page is a luxury brand of men’s perfume. On the page, three models each hold a bottle and stand in front of a royal blue background.

The model in the middle is the shortest, white and clean like a little white rabbit, but has a pair of slender fox eyes, which adds a bit of charm to the facial features.

It’s Wen Yue.

The perfume is a summer version launched this summer. The sapphire-colored packaging and Wenyue’s appearance are indeed suitable for this style, which can add a sense of nobility to the brand.

Bai Yao sneered, thinking that Qi Ya had nothing to do, as if he was so fragile. No, what happened two years ago, if you don’t mention this person again, Bai Yao will soon forget him.

Without even skipping the start-up advertisement, Bai Yao planned to throw the phone aside and go to sleep.

Just as he was about to close Weibo, the three seconds of the advertisement passed, and he entered the homepage. Bai Yao only followed Wen Yue on Weibo, and the first few photos he posted were the first ones in the news of the people he followed.

At first glance, Bai Yao suddenly felt that the scenery in the photo was familiar, but after a closer look, it turned out to be the beach in Qiaohai Town, not far from his restaurant.

Wen Yue put her elbow on another person’s shoulder and smiled brightly.

There are two short words written on the photo, “record”.

Connecting with what he saw on the beach that day, Bai Yao gradually realized that it was not a film crew, but a commercial photo shoot. Qi Ya asked him to check Weibo, probably because he was worried that the two of them would run into each other.

Not really, really not.

“What is Yaoyao looking at?”

A head leaned over to the side, bringing with it the fragrance of lemon and citrus, and Bai Yao’s attention was diverted there.

The boy was wearing a pajamas printed with baby yellow ducklings. The three little ducklings on the clothes were made of fluffy fabric, which was bright yellow and cute.

When Mu Muer came over, a few ducklings were attached to Bai Yao’s arm, the soft and slippery touch made him itchy.

He couldn’t understand it even after reading it, the Weibo page was messed up for him, and he lost interest after just two glances.

After a while: “Wow.”

Even if she couldn’t understand it, Mu Muer still sighed politely, thinking that this is something Bai Yao likes to watch, and he may not understand it, just like him playing Moon Rabbit Adventure, everyone has their own preferences.

This “wow” was so absent-minded and so perfunctory that Bai Yao almost died of laughter.

He stretched out his hand to poke Mu Mu’er’s forehead: “Sleep your sleep, what are you messing with?”

It’s not too late now, Mu Mu’er is not sleepy when he goes to sleep, he lay down next to Bai Yao, and subconsciously stretched out his hand for him to hold. It’s usually like this, before turning off the lights, Mu Mu’er reached out her hand, Bai Yao held it, and the two went back to sleep.

But today, after Mu Mu’er stretched out her hand, Bai Yao didn’t wait for Bai Yao to hold her hand. He opened his eyes and saw that Bai Yao was still looking at his phone and didn’t notice him at all.

Looking at it again, Bai Yao was so absorbed in watching the phone that even his eyebrows were furrowed, he had no intention of going to sleep at all. Seeing that he didn’t sleep, Mu Muer immediately felt relieved, thinking that he could play for a while before going to sleep.

“Mu’er wants to play with Moon Rabbit.” Mu Muer asked in a low voice.

His own mobile phone was in the living room outside, Mu Muer didn’t bother to get it, so she took aim at the mobile phone in Bai Yao’s hand, and poked it with her eager hand, trying to **** it secretly to play games.

“No, if you don’t sleep, you will become a bald sea otter.” Bai Yao dodged the moment Mu Muer stretched out his hand, turned off his phone and threw it on the bedside table, scratching the bridge of his nose, “The hairless one.”

Bai Yao smiled lightly and turned off the light in Mu Muer’s frightened eyes.
