The couple sitting next to them were also young, with a girl who looked about four or five years old. They greeted Bai Le and the others.
"Is this your son? He's so cute."
Bai Le was secretly pleased, but on the surface he had to pretend to be modest and quickly waved his hand, "Not at all, not at all."
Xi Yan found it amusing, and a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Little brother's eyes are so big!" The little girl clearly wanted to play with Mu Mu, as if she had discovered something new. "Look, look, his eyelashes are so long too!"
What's your name?
Xi Mubai is Mu Mu.
Mu Mu giggled when she heard her name called.
"Dad, I want one too! Can you have a little brother?"
The young man was visibly embarrassed and quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense, what younger brother or sister?"
The little girl pretended to cry, "I want it! I want to be as cute as him!"
The man had no choice but to quickly coax her. Bai Le glanced at Xi Yan, saw him tap his fingers, and immediately understood what he meant, so she moved closer to him.
It would be awkward for him to hear this at such a time; it's better to let them handle it themselves.
During the performance, someone was randomly selected to come up and kiss the dolphins. Bai Le was a little scared of this kind of segment, and he thought he wouldn't be chosen, but he was unlucky enough to be selected anyway.
When Mu Mu saw him about to leave, she misunderstood and immediately reached out for him to hug her. She looked at him with a pitiful expression, not crying at all, but it still made people's hearts melt.
Bai Le had no choice but to carry him to the center of the arena. Although he knew that dolphins were gentle, Bai Le was still a little scared. On the contrary, Mu Mu kept struggling to get down. As soon as he was put down, he saw Mu Mu running towards the beluga whale with his short legs, which startled the host.
Bai Le quickly hugged him again, and with the help of the trainer, carefully stretched his face over. The dolphin poked his face gently out of the water.
The cool, damp feeling lingered on his face, and Bai Le was momentarily stunned.
Mu Mu kept fidgeting in his arms, so Bai Le had to carefully let him put his face closer. The dolphin touched his face again, and Mu Mu seemed to find it very interesting, even reaching out to touch it, which startled Bai Le.
Back in his seat, Bai Le Xi Yan about to complain to Xi Yan about how daring Mu Mu was when he saw the man next to him wink at him.
"You two have such a good relationship."
Bai Le was completely confused, then turned to look at Xi Yan, who remained calm, seemingly unaware of what had happened.
One night, after Bai Le had taken a shower and was lying in bed, Xi Yan was still in the study. His phone, which had been lying on the bedside table, flashed briefly. Bai Le glanced at it casually, and then paused.
On Xi Yan's phone screen was a picture of herself.
In the photo, he is holding Mu Mu and leaning out his face to be kissed by a dolphin; both of them are smiling brightly.
Bai Le was stunned. So that's what he saw in his expression back then? He didn't even realize he was smiling so happily.
Before going to sleep, Bai Le looked at Xi Yan's profile, feeling very conflicted.
He was increasingly aware of his importance in Xi Yan's heart. He had always been the one to take the initiative, and there was very little he could do for him. He didn't even seem to remember ever giving Xi Yan a kiss.
Thinking of this, he felt restless and cautiously leaned forward to glance at Xi Yan.
His eyes were closed, as if he were already fast asleep.
So he mustered up his courage and slowly brought his lips to his face, his movements very slow, afraid of accidentally waking him up.
Bai Le nervously gripped the sheet, which finally touched his cheek. The slightly cool touch startled him, and he quickly fled as if he had been electrocuted.
The next second, Xi Yan slowly opened her eyes, her dark eyes staring at him intently, deep emotions surging within them.

Chapter 46
Xi Yan reached out and touched Bai Le's cheek; his breath was warm and gently brushed against his ear.
Bai Le dared not meet his gaze, lowering her eyelashes slightly, her eyes falling on the faint blue veins on Xi Yan's wrist, her mind wandering.
Xi Yan kissed his lips, and Bai Le gradually relaxed from his initial stiffness, responding to him cautiously.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Le felt a sharp pain. He bit his lower lip, his face turning pale with pain.
Xi Yan also noticed his expression and gently and patiently tried to help him get used to it.
Xi Yan grasped his hand, their fingers intertwined, and his voice was inexplicably hoarse. "Call my name."
Bai Le's slightly raised voice was tinged with sobs. "Xi Yan..."
"Good boy." Xi Yan kissed the top of his head.
Bai Le finally managed to fall asleep late at night. When he woke up the next day, his mind was blank. As his brain gradually regained its ability to think, he found that his body was aching.
Bai Le staggered down to his feet, supporting his back as he walked into the hallway. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mu Mu looking at his toy car in the hallway. Downstairs Xi Yan was sitting on the sofa, leisurely reading the newspaper. From the calm expression on his face, he showed no trace of what had happened last night.
"Dad," Mu Mu finally said it correctly.
Bai Le patted his head and saw Mu Mu huffing and puffing as he tried to climb off the bike and onto him, so he quickly stopped him.
