Mo Yi was startled for a moment, but quickly recognized that the man in camouflage clothing was indeed Bai Haocang.
The face paint gave the man a wild look, making him appear to be in his twenties at the moment. His physique and broad shoulders seemed even wider than before, closer to his appearance in reality.
Seeing the current situation, was his partner on a mission? But why in the jungle?
Before Mo Yi could think too much, the man pulled him up and hid behind a thick tree trunk again.
Several gunshots rang out once more, and the man took out a blade from his pocket, peeked outside from a certain angle, then quickly returned, saying to Mo Yi, “Mo Yi, you wait here for now. I’ll deal with the people outside.”
But as he was about to leave, Mo Yi grabbed his clothes and said, “You don’t have a gun? The people outside have guns, so you’re just using a knife?”
Mo Yi was worried. Even if he was in a dream, he couldn’t just watch his partner in danger. Moreover, it was just a dream; couldn’t it dream up a full set of equipment and defeat all the enemies?
Mo Yi looked at the man helplessly, wishing that after it spoke, the man could rewrite the dream. But obviously, Bai Haocang didn’t have that awareness.
In this dream, he had replicated the original scene, facing many enemies with limited ammunition. It was a narrow victory, leaving a deep scar on his arm.
Bai Haocang also felt the scene familiar, but in dreams, people often found themselves in a maze without realizing it. So he simply patted Mo Yi’s back to reassure it, “Don’t worry, brother, I’ll be fine.”
Mo Yi felt strange being called “brother” by someone who looked obviously more mature than itself. But seeing the determination in the man’s eyes, he knew he couldn’t stop him.
Bai Haocang had only one thought in mind at the moment: he had to protect Mo Yi. Even if the other was a deity, he never thought of hiding under his wings.
He even subconsciously felt that he should stand up and shelter Mo Yi from the wind and rain, doing everything he could to protect him.
Just as Bai Haocang thought everything was over, in the blind spot of his vision not far behind him, a man had somehow appeared, holding a weapon and aiming to shoot at him.

Bai Haocang smiled at Mo Yi’s words. His divine brother had saved him once again. For some reason, he felt certain that without Mo Yi’s intervention, his fate would not have been as favorable.
“Let’s leave here quickly,” Mo Yi said as he ran over, grabbing Bai Haocang’s hand. He didn’t know where they were, but getting away from danger was always the right move.
Bai Haocang glanced at the hand that Mo Yi held, subtly tightening his grip, nodding in agreement, and leading Mo Yi in the direction out of the forest.
His part of the mission was done. As for the rest, it was up to his teammates.
“How did you end up here, Mo Yi?” Bai Haocang asked as they walked.
How else could I have ended up here? You dreamt us here. Mo Yi thought to himself, but all he could say was, “I don’t know, I just found myself here.”
Bai Haocang didn’t press for more details upon hearing this. After all, his divine brother had a way of appearing and disappearing at will. He never knew where Mo Yi would show up next, but he always seemed to appear by his side suddenly.
“Where are we going now?” Mo Yi hadn’t been in the forest for a long time. In the city, there was steel and concrete everywhere, a completely different atmosphere from the forest. He still loved the natural environment and looked around with nostalgia in his eyes as they walked.
Bai Haocang didn’t know what Mo Yi was reminiscing about, but he didn’t like the feeling of not being able to share the memories of the person he liked. He could only find other ways to catch Mo Yi’s attention.
“After walking out from here, there will be a car waiting for us. We’ll head to the nearby town, where there are plenty of unique foods and a few friends I’d like to introduce you,” Bai Haocang said.
“Friends?” Mo Yi wondered, speculating whether they were his partner’s teammates. As he watched the scene change rapidly before him, it seemed that with the man’s words, they had already reached the edge of the forest. Just a moment ago, they were deep in the woods.
Sure enough, the dream world centered around his partner was convenient.
At the edge of the woods, there was indeed an off-road vehicle parked there, looking sturdy and durable.
It was Mo Yi’s first experience of the life of a mercenary, and he found it somewhat novel. When he got into the car, he realized that the driver and the passenger in the front were both familiar faces.
Ma Xinghuai and Rong Liwen, these two were indeed his partner’s teammates, whom he remembered. It turned out they had known each other for quite some time.
There were already several people in the car whom Mo Yi didn’t recognize. As soon as Bai Haocang entered, everyone warmly greeted him, showing that he held a high position within the team.
Bai Haocang also wanted to introduce his partner to them, saying, “This is Mo Yi, my…”
But he hesitated for a moment. He had intended to say “brother,” but seeing that his divine brother still looked as youthful and innocent as ever, he changed his wording and said, “my little brother.”
Whether it was because of his hesitation or because of Bai Haocang’s rare subtle attitude, as soon as he finished speaking, someone started teasing.
Especially Ma Xinghuai, who was driving, turned around and winked at them, teasing, “Boss, why haven’t we heard that you have a little brother? What kind of brother is he! Could it be a secret lover, haha!”
“Shut up!” Bai Haocang immediately spoke up, scanning the people in the car and giving Ma Xinghuai a cold look.
Ma Xinghuai, who had just been teasing, immediately shut his mouth, let alone the other people in the car, who became as quiet as chickens.
Usually, joking around was fine, but everyone knew that once the boss got really angry, it was terrifying. Suddenly, there was silence in the car.
However, Bai Haocang was still nervous, feeling somewhat annoyed by his teammates’ lack of restraint. It was true that he liked Mo Yi, but he didn’t know the other’s feelings yet. Having it blurted out like this, calling him a “little brother,” and all that talk about secret lovers, he worried that his beloved would be upset.
Nervously, he glanced at Mo Yi, leaning in close to whisper softly in his ear, “They’re just joking. I called you my little brother because it’s more convenient, especially considering your appearance…”
Bai Haocang didn’t say much more, but Mo Yi understood his meaning. He smiled at the man, not bothered by the term “brother.” How could he ever be upset with his partner?
He just found the atmosphere in the car amusing. Remembering the hardships of the past, Mo Yi could feel that his partner and these teammates were happy together. This realization brought him joy because his partner’s happiness was his happiness.
Seeing Mo Yi’s smile, Bai Haocang also breathed a sigh of relief. His divine brother wasn’t upset, which was good.
At the same time, Bai Haocang couldn’t help but feel some hope. Mo Yi didn’t seem to mind the joke at all, which perhaps meant that he still had a chance.
Mo Yi didn’t know where their mission location was, only that the road conditions were really bad as the car bumped along for a while before they reached a town. However, once they got out of the car, Mo Yi had to admit that the environment in the town was quite nice.
There were people of various skin colors, and Mo Yi even saw many people on the street dressed similarly to the people in their car, wearing camouflage clothing and carrying weapons.
It seems like this is a regular resting spot for mercenaries.
Accompanied by Bai Haocang and his team, Mo Yi arrived at a restaurant where the wooden doors opened to reveal a vintage interior.
At the bar, the bartender, who doubled as the owner, mixed drinks while chatting with customers. Unlike the sophisticated bartenders Mo Yi was used to, this man had a large beard and tattoos covering his arms and neck. He laughed openly, seeming to be in a very cheerful mood. Compared to his current profession, he looked more like a tough guy in a boxing ring, and even the staff here seemed a bit rugged.
Mo Yi looked around curiously and was led by Bai Haocang to a large round table not far from the bar.
Once seated, everyone ordered their favorite foods, and Bai Haocang ordered a variety of meats for Mo Yi.
Soon, the food arrived—juicy steaks, grilled chicken, fries, some hearty soup, and creamy stew-like dishes.
Mo Yi eagerly grabbed his knife and fork, noticing that the cooking style seemed rough but the taste was surprisingly good. At the very least, the ingredients were fresh.
The juices were sealed inside the steak, the chicken skin was crispy and flavorful, and even the vegetable soup tasted great.
Mo Yi couldn’t believe he could enjoy such delicious food in a dream, and his mood lifted.
“How’s the food?” Bai Haocang asked, seeing Mo Yi enjoying his meal.
“It’s delicious!” Mo Yi praised generously. “Thank you for bringing me here.”
The owner at the bar overheard their conversation and joked, “Young man, our food here is famous for its quality. You’re lucky to be here. Won’t you give a reward kiss to the person who brought you here?”
Mo Yi: Is this even a thing?
╰(＾3＾)╯ ah~ reward kiss! Bai gonna fly~
