Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little

Chapter 1: sea ​​otter

In the midsummer of July, Bai Yao sat on a small bench at the entrance of the restaurant and peeled potatoes.

He opened this small seafood restaurant, and it is the only small restaurant in this seaside town called Qiaohai Town.

He is tall, and his long legs are not comfortable sitting on the stool curled up. After a while, his legs become numb. But there is no way, the pot for holding potatoes is too big, it can only be placed on the ground, and if you don’t move a bench to sit on, you can only squat on the ground, which is even more uncomfortable.

After rinsing his hands in clean water, Bai Yao got up and stretched, holding the razor for more than half an hour, his hands were a little stiff. After counting, there were eighteen potatoes left in the pot, enough to be peeled for a while.

The seaside is always windy, and even in midsummer it is not muggy. There are cicadas chirping among the trees, and the sound of the sea hitting the beach can be vaguely heard.

Bai Yao is a person formed from the refinement of a snow leopard. He likes the cool and not the heat. Even in human form, he instinctively dislikes summer. He actually prefers snowflakes and frost to the scorching sun and green trees. It's just that he prefers the sea, and the endless horizon.

A string of shell wind chimes in the corner of the eaves of the restaurant swayed slowly with the sea breeze, making the sound of jingling bells. The wind carried a little salty smell of the sea. Looking at the sky, it was estimated that it would rain at night.

The remaining potatoes will be peeled later. Now we need to take out the chilled salmon in the freezer to defrost, and clean up the fresh scallops and oysters that arrived in the morning.

Bai Yao casually pulled his long hair into a knot at the back of his head. Just as he was about to enter the house, he suddenly heard loud noises coming from the beach. He heard the reputation and looked, the restaurant was built on the edge of a small cliff, with a higher angle, and at a glance, he saw a few young people on the beach near the coast, who didn't know what they were doing around a gray stone.

The direction of the wind was blowing from the beach to the direction of the restaurant, and there was a familiar but not human breath in the wind.

It's some coyotes.

Bai Yao snorted disdainfully through his nose, picked up the basin containing potato peels and water, got up and planned to go back to the house.

He is a snow leopard spirit, and he instinctively rejects any canine animal or beast-like person, and can be polite, but it is most comfortable to see him and stay away.

In the recent summer tourist season, there are many tourists who come to Qiaohai Town for vacation, and there are also many animal spirits mixed in.

Bai Yao would still say a few words if he saw an antelope or a human transformed into a bird, but last week a lion spirit came, and he didn't even want to talk to him.

Bai Yao had already stepped into the house, but he keenly noticed that there was a slightly different smell mixed in the smell of several coyotes, not like the smell of any land animal.

He stopped and looked towards the beach again.

The surrounded gray stone moved at this moment, and slowly stretched out, revealing a fluffy white head, blinking and looking around.

It wasn't a stone at all, it was a sea otter in its original form.

It shrank into a ball just now, and I didn't see it at all.

Bai Yao was a little curious, narrowed his eyes, retracted his feet as he was about to step into the house, and leaned against the door frame to observe the scene on the beach.

The coyotes surrounded the sea otter, laughing and teasing it, and the one standing closest kicked it, then jumped away nimbly when the baby sea otter turned to pounce on revenge.

The little sea otter flinched and fell on the beach with sand on his nose. It seemed that he was hurting from the fall. It took him a long time to get up. With a dazed look in his eyes, he raised his little paw and patted the tip of his nose.

Originally, it could get rid of the entanglement of several coyotes by transforming into a human form, but it didn't, and moved backward awkwardly, trying to avoid the siege of several people.

Sea otters are flexible and flexible in the water, but they are a little slow when they land on the shore, and there is soft sand under their bodies. There is no support point, and they cannot escape at all.

Those few coyote spirits probably looked at it as a bully, chasing and teasing it relentlessly.

One of them took a twig he picked up from nowhere, broke all the forks on it, held it like a stick, stabbed the little sea otter with the pointed end from time to time, and then licked it again. Throwing the branch to a companion while turning around in a panic, allowing another coyote to poke it from behind.

Unable to provoke them, the little sea otter wanted to run away, turned around slowly and with difficulty, and crawled towards the shoreline.

Its hind paws are webbed. Although it can be supported and moved on the ground, its main function is to swim after all. It is not only slow but also extremely inconvenient on land, and it cannot walk fast at all.

As expected, before it moved a few steps toward the sea, its escape route was blocked. The little sea otter couldn't run away, couldn't hide, so he had to stay where he was, exposing a few sharp teeth, There was a low, threatening growl from within.

But this only caused a burst of laughter from a few coyote spirits. After all, it looked chubby, and it was difficult to stand up. This little threat was insignificant at all.

Bai Yao frowned and looked at it for a while, becoming more and more puzzled.

He couldn't figure out why the sea otter spirit didn't change form. Although it would be naked afterwards, at least it could run faster on its two legs after becoming a human, and if those few people looked at it standing there in human form , not to tease it like this.

But no matter how he was bullied, this sea otter had no intention of changing form at all. He stuck to his original body and just tried his best to stay away from the coyote spirits. After being poked by a stick, he begged for mercy whimpering.

Bai Yao couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he walked down a gravel road on the side of the restaurant to the edge of the beach without thinking too much, and walked behind several people stepping on the sand.

"What are you doing?"

Several coyote spirits turned their heads when they heard the sound, they were taken aback for a moment, and then relaxed a little after recognizing that he was not human.

Maybe it was because of Bai Yao's cold look, or maybe he thought that he also wanted to come and play tricks on this sea otter spirit, but they still smiled and made room for him to pass by.

"This guy is stupid enough, teased him for a long time."

The person who spoke had bleached and dyed dark purple hair, and there was a not-so-deep scar on the right side of his face, extending from the end of his eye to the corner of his mouth. It is popular, with several holes broken, as if it was picked up directly from the trash can.

There have been a lot of tourists recently, and there are also many thieves who want to take advantage of the opportunity to get some good things in Qiaohai Town. Tourists always carry cash on their bodies, and they can be sure of it.

Bai Yao stared at his purple cabbage-like hair for a long time, and occupationally thought that purple cabbage would taste better if soaked in salt water before frying.

The man saw that he didn't respond, so he continued on his own: "We talked to him well and he ignored us, so we shouldn't teach him a lesson."

As he spoke, he waved the branch in his hand, stepped forward and aimed at the back of the little sea otter, wanting to swipe it down.

Without stopping, Bai Yao raised his hand and snatched the branch. With a little force in his hand, it broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.

The coyote was caught off guard and staggered from being dragged, almost falling straight into the sand.

Bai Yao snorted lightly, he hated this kind of bullying guy the most, he even used branches to bully a sea otter who couldn't even stand up when fighting. He put his hands back into his trouser pockets and said lazily, "Isn't it fun?"

His voice was deep and powerful. When he smiled, he showed two slightly long and pointed canine teeth. He licked it lightly with the tip of his tongue, and his eyes narrowed.

The snow leopard's body size was not a bit different from that of a coyote. Bai Yao could overwhelm several people with his height alone, so he was not easy to mess with when he stood there.

He is close to 1.9 meters tall, with a strong and muscular figure, and he is a little ruffian when he smiles. The black vest on his body unreservedly reveals his smooth arms and the valley tattoo on his right forearm.

Those few people saw that something was wrong, the smiles on their faces gradually faded, and the timid ones even swallowed, their eyes widened.

"Aren't you running away?" Bai Yao raised one corner of his mouth, and slowly looked up and down at the leader, "You're so courageous, I haven't seen a coyote with its tail clamped, is it like a dog? ?”

Here we go~ update!

It's a sea otter (ta not lai) not an otter! Sea otters are much larger in size and generally do not go ashore. Their hind limbs are webbed and they move clumsily and slowly on land (I personally think sea otters are cuter hehe)
