MTL - Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little-Chapter 15 Will you change?
The express delivery was fast, and the inflatable swimming pool Bai Yao bought was delivered the next morning.
The package was huge and quite heavy. After Bai Yao signed for the courier, it took a little effort to move it to the backyard.
He originally planned to disassemble the swimming pool to inflate after lunch, but the little sea otter circled the box curiously, sticking out the tip of his nose from time to time, and then turned his head and whined at Bai Yao, as if asking him what to do. what is it.
Bai Yao saw that it couldn't wait, so he took a knife from the kitchen, cut the tape on the cardboard box, and took the swimming pool out of the foam paper.
Pink.
It also has Ba La La Xiao Moxian printed on it.
Bai Yao: "Fuck."
That kind of pink is not a light pink, but a bright fluorescent Barbie pink with hot eyes, and a little tacky big glitter gold sequins, if you put it there, even the little sister in the first grade would hate it.
He wanted to curse, and stood there thinking about his life for a few seconds, but finally he took out his phone and asked the customer service if the message was wrong.
The customer service replied to the message within three minutes, with a polite tone.
【My dear, I'm sorry, the blue one is out of stock, and I sent you the pink one. If you don't like it, you may just have to return it. 】
He resolutely planned to return the product, and he had already typed out the words. Suddenly, he looked up and saw the little sea otter squatting there without paying any attention, stretching out his little paws, patting a flat piece of swimming pool on the ground, and sitting beside him eagerly, as if Wait for the pool to refill itself.
If it really quit, it might cry.
The little thing is so soft, so crying, it will definitely be sad.
Bai Yao hesitated again.
When I went to the online store to look at the inflatable swimming pool two days ago, I didn’t see a few blue ones, and many of them were pink. If I returned this one, I would have to wait two days for a new one to arrive. The key point is that Bai Yao really couldn't bear to close the opened swimming pool in front of the little sea otter.
Anyway, no one came to the backyard when the restaurant was open, so it was okay to pull some branches or something to cover it up.
It's for the silly sea otter, as long as it doesn't dislike it.
The customer service was still waiting for his reply, so he sent a message: [No refund, just let it go, it's pretty good. 】
Bai Yao stuffed his phone back into his trouser pocket and rolled up his sleeves to inflate the swimming pool.
When the swimming pool was fully opened, it was discovered that it was not square but round. Bai Yao inflated it, and when it was bulging, he connected a water pipe and filled the pool with water.
The moment Bai Yao turned around and put the water pipe back, the little sea otter couldn't wait to jump into it.
The swimming pool is inflatable, and its paws sank a little when it was pressed upwards. There was no point of strength, and it was impossible to climb in. When Bai Yao came back, he saw it standing tall and straight, like a sea otter stick, poking its head hard to reach into the swimming pool. Half of its head had already been submerged under the water, but its body was still standing on the ground, and it couldn't jump in, so it jumped twice.
The forelimbs of the little sea otter are very short, and it can barely reach the edge of the swimming pool, and it is difficult to jump up.
It probably won't be able to climb in by itself, and its short legs won't help, and its hind legs can't reach the edge of the pool. Bai Yao chuckled, and stood there watching it struggle for a long time with relish, treating it as today's entertainment.
After he had seen enough, he walked over, picked up the little sea otter, and threw it into the swimming pool. The little sea otter was burying his head in the water when he was hugged suddenly. He let out a small scream and was thrown into the pool before he could react.
When it entered the water, it was as if it had changed into a kind of creature. It was nimble and agile, and with a push of the webbed behind it, it could slide out of the pool for two full laps. After several days of not swimming, the little sea otter was suffocated, and became excited visibly to the naked eye as soon as he entered the water.
It plunged into the water with a fierce force...
…then hit his head on the bottom of the pool, and slowly floated back up like driftwood.
Bai Yao: "..."
He watched the little sea otter floating on the water with his paws covering his head, wanted to laugh but held back.
If I had known earlier, I should have bought an eight-meter-deep diving pool.
The little sea otter has a swimming pool and does not go into the house at all. He spends the whole morning soaking in the yard, combing his hair, or counting the treasures in his small pockets, and putting a few small stones on his belly to show off.
It took out the scallop shell that Bai Yao had opened for it the first night, and held it between its paws to admire it. From time to time, it would touch it with the tip of its nose and rub it against its chest, as if it wanted to make it brighter.
Bai Yao held a cup of hot coffee and drank it slowly. He sat on the recliner by the back door of the restaurant and watched it play. He planned to rest for a while before starting to cook.
After sitting until noon, Bai Yao glanced at the watch on the wall and realized that it was getting late, and he had to prepare the ingredients for the evening after eating.
"Hey..." Bai Yao suddenly remembered that he never knew the name of the sea otter, so he could only call out, "Silly sea otter."
It's really inconvenient to call him Tiantian Little Sea Otter Little Sea Otter like this, but Bai Yao doesn't know what his name is. After all, he's not a real pet. He probably has a name of his own.
When the little sea otter heard Bai Yao call it, he raised his head abruptly, hurriedly held the shell between his paws, froze, and wanted to stuff it back into his pocket.
In desperation, one of the stones on its belly fell into the water and sank to the bottom of the pool instantly. It gave a soft cry of regret, and quickly stuffed the remaining stones back into the right pocket, and the shells into the left pocket.
After finishing, he clamped it tightly with his arms, looked at Bai Yao innocently, blinked slowly, and acted like a fool who didn't have three hundred taels of silver here.
It still hasn't forgotten that Bai Yao almost threw away its precious shells when he bathed it, and he has lingering fears about this incident. Now he regards his own shells as treasures, and they are extremely rare.
Bai Yao clicked his tongue, thinking that one day he would be made to cry stupidly by it. The swimming pool was not deep, so he got up and rolled up his sleeves, reached out to fish out the sunken stones, threw them on the little sea otter's belly, and then stood by the pool to watch it.
He bent down to get closer to the little sea otter, with the tip of his nose almost touching its nose, "Trash is so precious, are you addicted to picking up junk?"
The little sea otter didn't care what Bai Yao said about it, but saw that his stone was lost and found again, so he quickly stretched out his claws to hug it happily, because he couldn't get it back if he fell into the sea before.
Bai Yao said, "Don't take a bath, come out and eat later."
The little sea otter rolled several times in the pool before crawling out, twisting clumsily to climb up the edge of the pool, almost falling to the ground. It looked down to see the distance between itself and the grass.
The distance was a bit high for it, and the little sea otter wanted Bai Yao to take it out, but when he raised his eyes, Bai Yao had already turned around and entered the room, so he could only stretch out his short paws to reach the ground, groaning in disappointment With a sound.
The little sea otter followed Bai Yao into the house slowly, found a place out of the way, lay down on the ground, and combed his drenched hair slowly.
Bai Yao opened the refrigerator door and took a look, then asked it casually, "What do you want for lunch?"
In fact, some of the ingredients and seasonings in the store are almost running out. I guess I have to go to the market in the south of the town to buy something recently. Bai Yao went out to get the ingredients for noon, while writing down the shopping list on the notebook attached to the refrigerator.
After hearing this, the little sea otter thought for a while, and finally shook his head, expressing that he didn't care.
Of course, Bai Yao didn't expect to hear an answer, but thought it might be more polite to ask. He took a bag of shelled fresh abalone and beans and walked towards the stove when he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks.
The little sea otter can understand words, and can basically nod and shake his head to communicate with himself.
And Bai Yao asked it anything it would answer.
That's a problem... Wouldn't it be nice to just ask it.
Bai Yao turned around, and the little sea otter was covering his eyes, motionless and focused on covering his eyes with his paws. He remembered that it was said in the article that this is because the sea otter's paw pads cannot keep warm, and the purpose of covering the paws with the eyes is to keep the paws from being so cold.
A common physical feature, for young sea otters just to warm the paw pads.
But in Bai Yao's eyes, he was a little silly.
"Can you become a human?" Bai Yao asked.
This sentence was a bit sudden, the little sea otter was taken aback when he heard it, took away a paw on his eyes, and blinked at Bai Yao.
The difference between the previous sentence "what do you want to eat" and this sentence "can you change into a human?" The little sea otter thought for a long time, tilted his head and remained motionless, and finally nodded very slowly.
Bai Yao squinted his eyes and thought about it. It is a sea otter spirit, it can transform into a human, and it also knows that it can transform itself.
He felt that the possibility that the little sea otter was unwilling to change form was not great, and there was only one possibility—it might not change form at all.
"Then you..." Bai Yao paused, "Will you become a human?"
Bai Yao added the accent on the word "hui", carefully observing the expression of the little sea otter.
Ability and ability are different in essence, and there is a big difference. Being able to transform into a person does not necessarily mean knowing the method. In fact, Bai Yao already had the answer in his heart when he asked this question, and he was stupid, why didn't he think of asking it directly earlier.
The little sea otter looked at Bai Yao, then looked out of the window, with a slightly puzzled expression, and finally shook his head very slowly.
Just as Bai Yao thought, he nodded and asked softly, "Then let me teach you?"
