When going downstairs, Bai Yao could clearly feel that Mu Muer's breathing was gradually speeding up. When he got downstairs, he was almost out of breath and his whole body was stiff.

He hid behind Bai Yao, Bai Yao walked forward, he left, Bai Yao stopped, he immediately shrank in the shadow behind him, not showing at all.

Since the two of them went downstairs, Mu Yi has been looking behind Bai Yao, staring closely at Mu Muer, making him even more uncomfortable.

In order for him to be more comfortable, Bai Yao didn't go up to Mu Yi, but stopped a few steps away from him. He was not willing to let go of Mu Mu'er's hand, and held it tightly, trying to suppress the thought of holding the boy in his arms.

Mu Yi glanced at the space between Mu Muer and himself, didn't say anything, but asked softly: "Muer, don't you remember brother?"

Mu Muer didn't answer, didn't even look at Mu Yi, she huddled beside Bai Yao, and whispered his name once.

Since his brother was here, Bai Yao couldn't directly reach out to hug him. Hearing Mu Mu'er's small cry, his heart tightened and the pain was unbearable. He could only squeeze Mu Muer's hand lightly, telling him that he was still there and would always be with him.

Without Bai Yao's response, Mu Mu'er lowered her head in disappointment. After being quiet for a while, she suddenly said, "Remember, brother doesn't want Mu'er anymore."

"How can it be…"

Before Mu Yi finished speaking, Mu Muer interrupted in a low voice: "Brother said Muer was wrong, let Muer go. Then... let's go."

This was the first time Bai Yao heard him interrupt others. Mu Muer was well-bred, and she always knew that she had to wait for others to finish before she could speak.

After Mu Muer finished speaking, Mu Yi frowned slightly, and turned the question to Bai Yao: "What happened to him? Why did he..."

Bai Yao raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Before Mu Yi could speak, Mu Mu'er tugged at the corner of Bai Yao's clothes, didn't speak, but just looked up at him.

Bai Yao could see what Mu Muer was thinking, even if he didn't speak, he could still see that the boy was unhappy, the kind of listless unhappy, with a little bit of grievance.

He calmly pulled Mu Muer behind him, and used his shoulder to block Mu Yi's view of the boy.

Bai Yao didn't know anything about the story between the two, nor did he know if Mu Muer was afraid of Mu Yi, he just knew that Mu Muer didn't like someone, he didn't need any reason, he was willing to protect him, let him Not a single bit of damage.

Bai Yao's actions caught Mu Yi's eyes at all, his expression turned cold, his hands on his knees were slightly clenched into fists, as if he had put all his energy into his body.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yao was vaguely worried that he would be impulsive, but before he could react, Mu Yi relaxed.

"Six years ago, when he was thirteen years old, I had a quarrel with him." Mu Yi spoke very slowly. Although he was talking to Bai Yao, his eyes did not fall on him at all, "He He didn't come back that night, and he didn't come back the next day. I searched for him for a long time, but he seems to have disappeared completely, and the people sent out couldn't find any trace of him."

"For so many years... How is he doing?"

Bai Yao couldn't hear it, and when he heard Mu Yi's words, he clenched his upper and lower teeth so hard that his jaw started to ache.

Whether it is going well or not, only Mu Muer knows.

He originally thought that even if Mu Muer lived in the sea all the time, he still had a family, at least he knew where his home was. Bai Yao thought countless times that Mu Mu'er might just not want to go home, but only now did he know that he couldn't find a home, and he didn't even have the option to go back.

Bai Yao really wanted to ask Mu Yi why he didn't continue to search, why Mu Mu'er was allowed to wander outside alone for so long, from the age of thirteen to nineteen, a full six years.

But he felt that he was not qualified, so he swallowed what he wanted to say, and the pain stuck in his throat.

He finally just said: "I don't know, I only met him two months ago."

Mu Yi's expression turned cold again, he got up from the chair, as if he wanted to go directly to pull Mu Mu'er.

Bai Yao took a step forward and blocked Mu Yi before he turned his gaze back to him.

No one spoke for a while, Mu Yi was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and finally said firmly: "I want to take him away."

I don't know why, but this sentence suddenly made Bai Yao angry.

I can't say what it feels like, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart, like a lump of cotton stuck in my chest in hot summer, making me suffocated.

Bai Yao's jaw tightened, and the clenched fists at his side revealed his displeasure. He gritted his teeth so that he would not say anything impulsively.

Now it is really necessary to prepare to open the store. He turned around and went to the kitchen, his tone was a little more serious: "The store is very busy, I have something to do, so I will not accompany you."

Mu Yi looked away, looked around for the first time, and his eyes fell on the scenery and tables in the store, as if he just realized that this is a small restaurant.

The Bai Yao restaurant is decorated warmly and comfortably, Mu Yi's cold and hard expression dropped a bit, and he raised his chin towards a booth in the corner, "Can I wait here?"

"As you wish, restaurants come and go freely."

Seeing that Bai Yao was going to the kitchen, Mu Mu'er immediately followed him every step of the way, treating herself as his shadow, and followed him into the kitchen in a panic.

When he passed Muyi, he retreated reflexively, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab the corner of Bai Yao's clothes, sticking himself to Bai Yao's body like a small pendant.

After entering the kitchen, Bai Yao stood in front of the counter with folded arms, looking at Mu Yi who was sitting outside through the crack of the door. He said that he was going to start preparing to open the store, but he stood still for a long time, his brows furrowed slightly.

It's not that he dislikes the fact that Mu Muer has a family, but Mu Muer is afraid of his brother, which makes him very uncomfortable. Mu Mu'er has a special personality, and he can't explain clearly when asked.

"Yao Yao..."

It was only after Mu Mu'er gently pulled his finger that Bai Yao came back to his senses.

"Is Yaoyao angry?" Mu Mu'er didn't understand what Bai Yao was thinking. The boy was pure-hearted, and seeing that Bai Yao didn't speak, he thought he was angry for some reason.

He was also timid, and when Bai Yao didn't answer, Mu Muer thought it was because she had done something wrong, so she shook Bai Yao's hand pitifully and flatteringly.

Bai Yao sighed softly, held Mu Mu'er back, and squeezed his palm, "I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about something."

In order not to worry him, Bai Yao took out the chocolate in the cupboard and gave it to Mu Muer.

This kind of chocolate is in the shape of a shell, and it has three flavors: white chocolate, milk chocolate and caramel. It tastes sweet and smooth, and Mu Muer likes it very much.

He can usually eat a large box with his arms, and no matter where Bai Yao hides it, he can find it and secretly eat half of it by himself. After he finished the third box, Bai Yao poked his forehead and asked him if he was a puppy, otherwise why would his nose be so good.

But today he was not very interested. He held a box of chocolates and didn't eat much. He picked out the best-looking pieces of chocolate in the box and played with them in his hand, instead of eating them in one bite as usual.

Bai Yao wanted to accompany him, but he was busy in the store, so he had to roll up his sleeves and wash his hands, while looking at Mu Muer from the corner of his eye, worried that he would be unhappy.

After a while, Mu Mu'er walked slowly behind Bai Yao, and muttered in a low voice, "Mu'er wants to go upstairs."

Usually, when Bai Yao was about to open the shop, Mu Muer would stay upstairs, and only after he opened the shop did the boy come down to accompany him in the kitchen.

"Well, go, Moon Rabbit will play for you." Bai Yaoteng took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and gave it to him, thinking that he would make an exception today and let him have fun.

Mu Muer's mood improved a little bit, she glanced out from the crack of the kitchen door to see that Mu Yi didn't notice her, and then walked out stooping.

When I went out, I still didn't forget to take the unfinished box of chocolates with me.

Mu Yi was sitting at a booth outside, Mu Muer would definitely pass him when going upstairs, he hesitated for a moment, then stood on tiptoe and walked out, holding his chocolate and Bai Yao's cell phone in his arms, and slightly bowed his waist .

Like a little gray hamster.

Bai Yao pulled the corners of his lips a little, watching Mu Muer go upstairs in a hurry, close the kitchen door and concentrate on preparing to open the shop.

Now entering the off-season of tourism, there are obviously fewer guests. It was still full as soon as it opened, but there were almost no customers waiting outside, and it took ten minutes for the next table to arrive after one table had checked out.

Mu Yi crossed his legs, and sat quietly in the booth in the corner, tapping his index finger on the table lightly and rhythmically, without moving much.

He answered a few calls halfway, but he didn't get up, and lowered his voice to talk to the person on the other end of the phone, with a slightly serious expression.

When Bai Yao went out to serve food, he happened to see Mu Yi staring at the stairs leading to the second floor in the corner of the restaurant, as if he was waiting for something, and his eyes never left there.

He always felt that there was a big difference between Mu Yi and Mu Mu'er, and finally attributed this difference to Mu Yi's eyebrows and eyes. His eyes had a rare coldness, and after staring at them for a long time, he might not be able to see the bottom. Instead, I felt a bit bitingly cold all over.

Some customers would look at him twice, after all, he was dressed a little unusually, and he didn't order food, sitting there didn't look like a customer, but rather an investor in this small restaurant.

After serving a table of dishes, Bai Yao returned to the kitchen and looked at Mu Yi through the window.

For six whole years, he did not believe that Mu Yi had tried his best to find Mu Mu'er, otherwise he would have been able to find it no matter what. For the past six years, this elder brother has left his mentally disabled younger brother to wander outside alone, without enough food and scars all over his body.

"boss!"

"is the boss around?"

The soup in the pot boiled and started bubbling, and it was only when Bai Yao came back to his senses that the guests at the table outside had already yelled several times.

He opened the door and went out, saying sorry to the people at the table.

"Is the salad we ordered still not ready?"

"Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."

Bai Yao was upset, and when he returned to the kitchen, he realized that he had completely missed the dishes ordered by this table, and he hadn't started cooking any of them.

Usually when I get busy, these few hours always pass quickly, but today is different, it seems to wait a century before closing.

Mu Yi sat from four o'clock until the restaurant closed at eight o'clock, and he didn't appear impatient at all, his back was always straight, and the wooden booth seemed to be some kind of comfortable sofa.

At half past eight, Mu Muer went downstairs to find Bai Yao on time, and had dinner with him. Bai Yao usually packs up the shop at this time, makes dinner and serves it to the table with Mu Muer. If Mu Muer was hungry sometimes, he would go downstairs earlier and ask Bai Yao for snacks to fill his stomach first.

But today he came down as usual, for a moment he forgot that Mu Yi was still in the store, and when he raised his eyes, his eyes met him. There were more people in the shop, Mu Muer didn't know what to do, stood at the stairs and hesitated for a moment, turned sideways, as if Mu Yi said a few more words, he would immediately turn around and run upstairs.

"Mu'er..." Just as Mu Yi opened his mouth, Mu Muer ran away.

He ran to the kitchen like a little rabbit, as if Mu Yi was some kind of old fox who wanted him for dinner.

Bai Yao was wiping his hands and coming out of the kitchen when Mu Muer ran in sullenly and bumped into his arms. He raised his eyes and saw that it was Bai Yao, and immediately stretched out his arms to be hugged by him. After wrapping his arms around his waist, he even arched inside, thinking that he could still hide.

"Yao Yao."

"En." Bai Yao answered him.

Mu Muer's elder brother is here, no matter how hard it is for Bai Yao to calmly hug his younger brother and not let go, after thinking about it for a while, he supports Mu Muer's shoulder and gently pushes him away.

Mu Mu'er had never been pushed away by Bai Yao before, she froze on the spot for a while, at a loss, and finally lowered her head, her eyes were full of hurt and grievance that could not be concealed.

He didn't say anything, he just took a small step back to distance himself from Bai Yao.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yao immediately regretted it, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to hug Mu Mu'er into his arms, but when he reached halfway, he stopped, and his peripheral vision fell on Mu Yi.

The atmosphere in the store was stagnant. Out of politeness, Bai Yao finally asked, "Do you want to stay for dinner?"

Mu Yi did not refuse: "Excuse me."

This dinner was eaten very quietly, even Mu Muer, who was the most active when eating every day, didn't really want to eat anything, and said she was full after just two casual bites.

Seeing that he ate less than half of what he usually eats, Bai Yao guessed that he would be hungry at night, so he added more vegetables to his bowl. Whatever Bai Yao gave him, Mu Muer didn't refuse, and ate obediently, but the speed was much slower than usual, and she still couldn't arouse her interest.

After eating, Mu Muer didn't make a fuss, just sat quietly without saying a word.

Living together for so long, Bai Yao has never seen Mu Muer so quiet, like grass on a rainy day, with her head drooping and her head drooping, without any energy.

He himself lost his appetite, so he gently squeezed Mu Muer's hand under the table where Mu Yi could not see, and then held it.

But Mu Mu'er didn't respond. She didn't even want to pull Bai Yao's hand. After the palm was held, she just curled up softly in Bai Yao's palm.

Mu Yi barely touched the food on the table, his eyes stayed on Mu Muer, and he put down his chopsticks after watching him finish eating.

Before he could speak, Bai Yao spoke first.

"He went to bed early, so I'll take him upstairs first." Bai Yao pulled Mu Mu'er up, and led the boy upstairs before Mu Yi could reply.

Walking to the stairs at the corner of the restaurant, footsteps came from behind.

Mu Yi subconsciously followed, Bai Yao went half way up the stairs, turned around and said to him, "The upstairs is closed for business."

He didn't want to, nor was he in the mood to control his tone, and his voice was a little cold, as if it had been covered with a layer of frost.

The meaning of refusal was obvious, Mu Yi stopped, put his hands in his pockets and watched Bai Yao take Mu Muer's hand to go upstairs, and when they reached the last step, he said something softly.

Mu Mu'er walked in front and didn't hear it, but Bai Yao heard it clearly.

"I want to hear him call me brother again."
