“We’re not that kind of relationship,” Bai Haocang explained to the bartender.
Of course, he hoped to receive a kiss from his crush, but he didn’t want Mo Yi to feel uncomfortable. Even if it happened, he wouldn’t feel happy because it would seem forced by others.
Just as he was thinking of how to dismiss the nosy bartender, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his cheek. Turning his head, he saw the young man stepping back, with a sweet smile on his face.
His hand unconsciously touched his cheek. So, he really got a kiss just now. He was kissed by his divine brother on the cheek.
His heart trembled involuntarily. Bai Haocang felt like his breath was stopping. Being kissed actively was something he had only fantasized about in the past.
“Mo Yi.” There were other people around, so he dared only to call Mo Yi’s name.
He just wanted to ask why his divine brother kissed him. And until now, the smile on Mo Yi’s face hadn’t faded, clearly showing willingness.
It didn’t seem forced by circumstances. It seemed to carry some kind of pleasure. It seemed that at this moment, they were finally crossing the boundary between friends and brothers.
But before he could ask, everything in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Opening his eyes again, Mo Yi woke up in his warm bed, stretching comfortably. The dog yawned, feeling a bit regretful.
The food in the dream was indeed delicious. Unfortunately, he only ate half of it before waking up.
It seemed that his partner also had good memories in his dreams. When he, as a mercenary, went around doing missions, there were some good memories, such as his teammates with good personalities.
But when Mo Yi, as usual, peeked out from under the covers, he found his partner staring at the ceiling with an obvious look of disappointment.
The little dog tilted his head, wondering if his partner was also regretting not finishing all the food on the table.
But obviously, it wasn’t. The man sat up, feeling lost like never before.
Mo Yi’s nightly visits to his dreams had resulted in Bai Haocang’s impression and feelings for him becoming deeper. When he woke up, facing reality, the man didn’t know how to deal with it for a moment, wanting to stay in the dream.

It took him longer than usual to calm his emotions that morning before the man got out of bed. Perhaps because Mo Yi had been staying in his room for a long time, the man felt like his room was filled with the scent of the dog.
The milky scent of a young animal was really pleasant to him.
Perhaps humans were indeed creatures with a sense of smell. A comforting scent could improve one’s mood. Like Bai Haocang, because of Mo Yi’s scent, he felt more content and peaceful, as if his life had become more vibrant because of this dog.
In the morning, after finishing his busy work, thinking about the previous failed walk, the man felt a bit regretful, so he decided to take Mo Yi out again.
This time, only Ma Xinghuai was with him, but security in the neighborhood had been strengthened, and he didn’t plan to go far, just wanted to walk around the yard.
The landscaping in the neighborhood was nice, and Mo Yi happily ran around nearby before returning to his partner’s side, then running circles around Bai Haocang.
Ma Xinghuai on the side joked about Mo Yi’s sycophantic behavior, feeling like the dog was trying to win favor by acting like a lapdog.
“I mean, this dog is so calculating! Boss, you gotta be careful with this dog, it’s too clever!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” The man was used to Ma Xinghuai’s ramblings and only found his own dog adorable. He enjoyed the feeling of being relied upon by Mo Yi.
So they spent a few hours in the small neighborhood. When they returned and Mo Yi went to wash his paws with Aunt Wang at the sink, it was already evening, and that’s when Rong Liwen came back.
“Boss.” The woman took off her windbreaker and stood in front of Bai Haocang.
Bai Haocang frowned at the seriousness in her tone and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Rong Liwen approached and whispered in a voice only Bai Haocang and Ma Xinghuai could hear, “Boss, I’ve investigated the origin of 5. It was given to Miss Bai by Mo Jinpeng.”
“Mo Jinpeng?”
Bai Haocang lightly tapped the armrest of his wheelchair with his fingertips. He had heard of this person’s name before. There was a small family that was attached to the Zhang family, and it seemed that the head of the family was named Mo Jinpeng.
However, when their efforts against the Zhang family started to yield results, Mo Jinpeng had already come over to show goodwill and surrender. Bai Haocang didn’t have much interaction with them.
Although Mo Jinpeng seemed a bit opportunistic, he was also a clever person.
“So, where did Mo Jinpeng get 5 from?” Compared to Mo Jinpeng, the man was more concerned about his dog now.
“I found out that Mo Jinpeng hired someone specialized in training animals. He selects suitable breeds and brings them back to his place. He trains guide dogs, but he also trains ‘other’ types of service dogs, you know, the ones we’ve encountered during missions.”
Rong Liwen’s words were clear, and her tone was filled with concern. The so-called “other types” referred to weapons, animals trained to kill.
Bai Haocang nodded, indicating he understood.
Seeing her boss’s lack of further response, Rong Liwen couldn’t help but continue, “Boss, in the current situation, it’s not safe to keep 5 around. Although Mo Jinpeng hasn’t had any direct dealings with us for the time being, he used to be associated with the Zhang family, and I…”
“I know what you mean.” The man interrupted her. “But right now, there’s no concrete evidence to say that 5 is being used for other purposes, right? Maybe he just wanted to please me and Yinyan by sending over a capable guide dog.”
“Well…”
Rong Liwen wanted to deny it, because she had seen how terrifying that dog could be when it attacked someone. And she knew very well that this dog had the ability to kill with a single blow.
But seeing Bai Haocang’s expression, after so many years of knowing her boss, Rong Liwen knew very well that even if she continued to speak, she couldn’t change his decision.
Ma Xinghuai noticed the situation and patted Rong Liwen’s shoulder. If it were a few days earlier, he might have helped persuade the boss to change to another dog, but now, he also had a very good impression of Mo Yi.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming a bit heavy, he smiled at Rong Liwen, “It’s okay, Wenwen. I think 5 should be safe. Although it’s quite formidable, it’s only towards outsiders. Today, when we went out for a walk, that dog was so clingy to the boss that I thought it had become sentient and wanted to marry the boss! Hahaha!”
As Ma Xinghuai spoke, he became more and more humorous. Mo Yi also ran back wagging his tail.
He had just rubbed against Aunt Wang and enjoyed her delicious homemade beef strips. He was happy!
Bai Haocang heard Mo Yi running back and waved in his direction, then took the dog back to his room.
But once they were back in the room and the door was closed, the man patted his uninjured knee.
Mo Yi understood what he meant and climbed up, then was cradled by the man’s hands.
Their foreheads touched, their positions intimate. Bai Haocang gently stroked the fur on Mo Yi’s back and whispered, “You won’t betray me, will you…”
The grayish-white pupils lacked luster, but they seemed even deeper and more suppressed.
Mo Yi keenly sensed that his partner’s mood was off but didn’t know what had happened or how to comfort him.
Now he was just a dog, unable to even say a few words or express concern for his partner.
Annoyed, Mo Yi scratched his paws twice and whimpered twice, wanting to express his feelings. But in the end, the man just kissed the top of his head and rubbed him a few times before pulling away.
If only he hadn’t stayed in the kitchen for so long because of his greed for snacks!
Mo Yi rarely felt self-loathing because of eating, but if he hadn’t been so greedy and returned earlier, maybe he could have heard what they said when he left and understood why his partner was feeling down.
So, today Mo Yi was more eager than usual to enter the dream at night, hoping to get some clarity.
Because of his partner’s mood, Mo Yi couldn’t even eat his dinner properly, leaving half of the canned beef untouched.
When the man finished some work in the evening, without waiting for him to come over, Mo Yi immediately jumped onto the bed, making digging noises. Then he bounced on the bed, whimpering at Bai Haocang.
Hearing the sound, the man couldn’t help but laugh, “Why are you so eager to sleep tonight? Are you tired?”
“Woof!” Mo Yi quickly barked in response.
Facing the dog’s unusual behavior, Bai Haocang didn’t think much of it. He just thought maybe Mo Yi was tired from going out for a walk today.
As usual, he washed up and changed clothes before lying down on the soft bed, only to be cuddled by the energetic dog who had been bouncing around for half a day.
After rolling around a bit, Mo Yi found the most comfortable position, and Bai Haocang kissed the furry creature beside him before drifting off to sleep.
As usual, Mo Yi quickly entered the dream with the help of 006.
Once he entered his partner’s dream, Mo Yi eagerly opened his eyes. He saw his partner standing in front of him, dressed in a suit.
Without hesitation, Mo Yi immediately pounced, holding the man tightly and eagerly saying, “Bai Haocang, I will never betray you! Never!”
