MTL - Let Me Ruffle Your Fur a Little-Chapter 16 It hurts a bit, bear with it

After lunch, Bai Yao took the little sea otter upstairs and entered his bedroom. He let it sit on the rug in the center of the room, and he sat cross-legged in front of it.

He had to open his mouth only to realize that teaching it was actually not as easy as he imagined. It was very simple when he did it by himself, but Bai Yao didn't even know how to start when he had to explain the steps one by one.

Transformation is a bit like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, and it's also a bit like a python shedding its skin. It involves replacing a part of the outer layer of the body and completely changing itself from one body to another.

It may be very useful for Bai Yao to show the little sea otter the transformation, but he is unwilling to show his original body unless he has to.

It is very likely that many animal spirits will never show their original bodies for a lifetime. They were born in the form of humans and lived in the form of humans. They are no different from humans, trying to forget that they can transform into animals. This is not an honorable thing, nor is it considered a superpower. It will only be regarded as a monster by humans, and it may be taken away for experiments.

More animal spirits even consider their ability to take form a shame.

Bai Yao spoke slowly, wondering if he could speak slowly so that the little sea otter could understand: "Relax your body first and close your eyes."

"Can you imagine a barrier? Imagine it's neither thick nor thin, translucent."

"You should be able to see your appearance on the barrier. You are a sea otter now, just imagine you are looking in the mirror."

"Now try to imagine that you are on one side of the barrier and your purpose is to break through it."

"If you can already see yourself on this side of the barrier, then try to imagine yourself on the other side as a human being. Listen carefully, and you should be able to hear his heartbeat."

The little sea otter was absent-mindedly playing with the abalone shell it had secretly brought upstairs, not thinking about it at all. It has been trying to listen carefully, but probably because it doesn't understand well, it didn't take long for it to lose focus.

Bai Yao continued to explain patiently, saying all the methods he could think of.

He couldn't even remember when he last changed form, maybe it was once or twice when he was a teenager, and he went to scare the neighbor's kid to play. Thinking about it now, it was lucky that people didn't report to the police about the presence of a snow leopard cub.

"It may hurt a little, bear with it," Bai Yao said. Transforming into a human form is not difficult at all, it is a natural part of their physiology, and practicing it once or twice is actually enough to master the skill.

But after talking so much, the little sea otter still didn't respond, not even when Bai Yao asked him to close his eyes.

Bai Yao spoke so dryly that he didn't know what else to say. He's starting to fear that he's bringing home a magical real sea otter that nods and shakes his head, and he's here to foolishly teach it how to become a human.

Does that count as kidnapping a wild animal?

Sitting on the same spot for a while, Bai Yao rubbed his hair, took out the cigarette case from his pocket a little irritably, took out one and was about to light it, but remembered that the little sea otter didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so he had to put the cigarette away again, He threw it on the bed casually.

The little sea otter didn't understand what Bai Yao was thinking, so he sat for a while, then slowly moved behind him, raised his paws and fiddled with the grip on the back of his head.

It didn't take long to play like a kitten.

Bai Yao let it play for a while, then sighed: "Forget it, if you don't want to learn it, forget it."

He was really helpless, his voice was tinged with fatigue, and he was about to give up helplessly. Just accept it in the future, respect its choice, and treat it like a sea otter.

The little sea otter raised his head, looked at Bai Yao and sighed, stared carefully at the fine lines between his brows, and whined softly, as if apologizing to him.

It still understood this, and it disappointed Bai Yao.

Bai Yao stood up from the ground, put his hands in his pockets, and planned to go downstairs to start opening the shop. He had already turned around, but he heard a cry of pain behind him. It's the "ah" from humans.

He turned around quickly, his eyes widening immediately.

The thick fur on the little sea otter's body gradually faded and turned into fair skin. The size gradually grew, and the claws became hands.

The shells and stones in its pocket fell out during the transformation process, and scattered all over the ground with jingle bells. A few seconds later, the gray and furry little sea otter was gone, replaced by a white boy sitting on the carpet.

Bai Yao hadn't thought much about what the little sea otter would look like after transforming, he hadn't thought about this level at all.

Only when it really turned into a human did it realize that the boy was very good-looking, he could be regarded as a handsome little guy.

Its appearance is not too beautiful, its eyes are watery, round and big, typical deer eyes, those eyes are very familiar, bright and clear, it seems to see the bottom at a glance. The slightly longer hair on the top of the head is soft and light in color, reminding Bai Yao of the soft fur on the top of the head of the little sea otter.

She is a sweet little beauty.

The boy's whole body was tense, his eyes were round and round, and his breathing was very rapid. It sounded a little out of breath, as if he would suffocate if he breathed any faster.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Yao, put his hands on the ground, trying to stand up. But he was not used to this different body, his legs suddenly went limp, and he fell back again.

Bai Yao was stunned for a few seconds, his reaction was a bit slow, and he failed to catch him, the boy's hip bones hit the ground with a muffled sound.

He sat on the ground and couldn't get up. He lowered his head and looked at the floor under him, muttering in his mouth and didn't know what he was talking about. If you listen carefully, it seems that you are not talking, but making a whining sound similar to that of a sea otter.

It's just that his vocal cords have become human, and the sounds of small animals have changed.

Bai Yao didn't know how to react for a moment. He originally thought that the little sea otter would take the initiative to say hello or something after he transformed into human form. He could at least explain why he couldn't transform.

He never thought that the little sea otter would react like this. It was not like a human being could turn into an animal, but more like an animal turning into a human being for the first time.

The boy looked around, frowned and thought for a while, then sat and picked up all the shells scattered on the ground, held them in his hands and handed them to Bai Yao. Seeing that he didn't respond, he gave an anxious "hmm" and pushed those things in front of him, motioning for him to take them.

Bai Yao stretched out his hand subconsciously, and the boy hurriedly put the thing in his hand carefully, and looked at it again reluctantly.

After all this was done, the boy lay flat on the ground, first rubbed his hands together like a sea otter, then folded them on his chest, closed his eyes serenely, and did not move.

Bai Yao was stunned for a long time, standing there holding a pile of shells and stones, waiting for the boy to open his eyes again, but he never did. The boy lay motionless on the ground the whole time, like a statue, and even his breathing slowed down.

Bai Yao waited for a while, but couldn't bear it anymore, so he knelt down and stretched out his hand to lightly poke the boy's arm, wanting to ask him what he was doing.

The boy's eyes were closed, he didn't expect to be touched, he was frightened, he shrank back, his eyes opened suddenly, and stared at Bai Yao in horror.

"Don't be nervous." Bai Yao tried to put his voice softly, and greeted him, "Hello."

The boy frowned slightly, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something but didn't say it. Bai Yao just looked at him, patiently waiting for his reaction.

After a long time, maybe it was impolite not to answer, the boy finally squeezed out a greeting from his throat: "You... roar."

After speaking, he closed his eyes again.
