In the sea of knowledge, 006 was utterly amazed at the sight and felt like kneeling before his own host. Although the villain is bound to fall for Mo Yi, this is their first meeting in this small world! Here, in this somewhat feudal and closed-off ancient society, isn’t Mo Yi afraid of backlash for such actions?
Moreover…
“Host, don’t forget about the original owner’s traits. He was a bit foolish, so it’s better not to show too much difference when facing outsiders. Otherwise, being out of character could lead to rejection by the small world, which would be disastrous!”
The system urgently reminded Mo Yi.
“But he’s my partner, not a stranger!” Mo Yi replied innocently.
Didn’t he perform well in front of strangers before?
“And besides, even if I follow the original owner’s behavior, he was seen as foolish by others, unaware of many rules, simply following their own preferences.”
006: Alright, if you insist on saying so, it’s not wrong.
But what shocked even more than the system was Bai Lin.
The man who had been silent all along finally reacted. He was boiling with anger inside, his chest heaving violently, and even his pale face showed a hint of blush.
Clutching tightly onto the wooden hairpin in his hand, Bai Lin turned to glare at Mo Yi, but froze in astonishment as he caught sight of Mo Yi’s face.
The sudden death of his father had been a heavy blow for Bai Lin. Little did he know, his uncle would show such ruthlessness, seizing the family assets while he was seriously ill.
Bai Lin didn’t even have the strength to leave his room to plead his case; he could only lie there, feeling utterly helpless. Due to lack of food and medicine, his health deteriorated rapidly.
Bai Lin had thought that at worst, his uncle’s family would eventually kick him out. He never gave up hope, hoping to recover and take the imperial examination, fulfilling his father’s wish and becoming an official.
He believed in his own talents and abilities; his future was supposed to be bright.
But reality turned out to be even harsher, and human nature more wicked than he had imagined.
Even though he was his nephew, they arranged for him to marry into the Mo family in exchange for a paltry bride price.
He was unconscious for a day and a night, and by the time he woke up, everything had been decided.

Throughout history, there had never been a male spouse who could become an official. This was cutting off his path!

However, before he could even feel relieved, there was movement at the door. As he glanced at the shadow outside, he had a premonition that the person arriving this time was likely the one he had yet to meet.
Bai Lin tensed up instantly. Despite being a fool, the person was still an adult male, and who knew what they might have been taught during these past few days without him.
Even if he was ill, he remembered that he had been brought into this household not just as a decoration but as a wife.
With this in mind, Bai Lin made an effort to sit up and took the wooden hairpin from his head, holding it tightly in his hand.
If the other party tried to take advantage of his weakness and force himself on him, Bai Lin was prepared to fight back even if it meant sacrificing himself.
However, to his surprise, the fool came in to deliver medicine and seemed to have no ulterior motive.
But before Bai Lin could relax, the fool suddenly kissed him.
This brash fellow!
Bai Lin’s heart skipped a beat, and he tightened his grip on the wooden hairpin, ready to confront whatever might come. However, when he turned his head, he was met with a pair of incredibly clear eyes.
The young man opposite him appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright white teeth, rosy lips, and a pair of sparkling black eyes filled with concern as he looked at Bai Lin.
He even pleaded softly, begging Bai Lin not to be angry.
In an instant, Bai Lin was stunned, staring blankly at the person before him.
Although their villages were adjacent, they had never met. Bai Lin had only heard rumors that the other person was a simpleton, but no one had ever mentioned how good-looking he was!
If their roles were reversed today, and Bai Lin had to marry someone like him, he might even agree…
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Bai Lin’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively shook his head. He felt ashamed of himself for being so easily swayed by beauty.
Still trying to keep himself vigilant, Bai Lin questioned, “What are you doing?”
“I, I just wanted to cheer you up,” Mo Yi stammered, speaking softly and cautiously, afraid that his fragile companion would be frightened by his slightly louder voice.
He pointed to the bowl of medicine on the table, clasping his hands together and looking earnestly at his companion, indicating that he meant no harm.
Feeling a bit of regret in his heart for kissing him so impulsively, Mo Yi thought he might have made Bai Lin angry with his actions.
“No one cheers someone up like that,” Bai Lin replied, feeling somewhat uncomfortable at Mo Yi’s words. Did Mo Yi used to kiss others like this to cheer them up?
“But you’re not just anyone,” Mo Yi muttered, then quickly shut his mouth.
Seeing Mo Yi’s childish demeanor, Bai Lin couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated.
As Mo Yi brought the bowl of medicine over again, Bai Lin stood obediently by the bedside, not saying a word. He pitied Mo Yi, who seemed afraid of him, despite being the one who looked so fragile.
Bai Lin gave a self-deprecating smile.
However, Mo Yi seemed oblivious to the current situation. Seeing Bai Lin pull his lips into a smile, Mo Yi thought he was genuinely happy, so he smiled foolishly in return, holding back the sarcastic remarks Bai Lin had planned to say.
Why bother arguing with a fool?
Bai Lin took the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one go. Although the bitter liquid flowed down his throat, he didn’t even frown, as if he had just drunk a glass of water.
Mo Yi secretly admired his companion, thinking how capable he was. Mo Yi could sense that the medicine wasn’t palatable just by its smell, but Bai Lin drank it without any change in expression.
After handing back the empty bowl and putting it back on the table, Mo Yi hurriedly took out a piece of sesame candy from his pocket and offered it to Bai Lin. This candy was given to Mo Yi by Mo Anan before she returned to her room to embroider handkerchiefs.
The small piece of candy wrapped in oiled paper was placed in Bai Lin’s hand, held up in front of him.
Bai Lin looked at the candy, then at the fool in front of him, who extended his palm towards him again, insisting that Bai Lin take it. Bai Lin took it and unwrapped the candy, then put it in his mouth.
The sweet taste of sesame filled his mouth, instantly washing away the bitterness. Bai Lin squinted his eyes. He had been weak since childhood and often had to take medicine. But his father, being a careless man, never thought to provide something sweet when giving him medicine.
This level of care and concern was a first for Bai Lin, and it came from a fool.
The last traces of anger in Bai Lin’s heart dissipated. Perhaps, since meeting this person, Bai Lin realized he couldn’t muster any anger towards him. Maybe it was because his gaze was so clear, as if all the world’s filth had nothing to do with him.
Even when he kissed Bai Lin, Bai Lin couldn’t find any fault in his behavior.
Thinking back, despite the apparent resentment to the Bai family towards his arrival, they still provided him with food and medicine, which was rare. Otherwise, Bai Lin might not even have the strength to sit up now.
The two of them remained silent in the room after finishing the candy. Bai Lin closed his eyes, hoping the other person would leave. But to his surprise, the person didn’t leave; instead, he carefully sat down beside the bed.
Mo Yi wouldn’t leave. Seeing how weak his companion looked, he felt heartbroken and wished to watch over him and take care of him at all times. How could he bear to leave?
Seeing Mo Yi feeling down, 006 could only comfort him, assuring him that once he accumulated enough energy, he would be able to help Bai Lin improve his health.
Mo Yi remained silently in the room, watching over his companion until Mo Yi’s mother finished preparing dinner and called for him to come out.
In the room, the table was already set with dishes, and Mo Yi’s mother, Mo Anan and his father, Mo Dali, were sitting at the table.
Mo Dali was a sturdy and honest man with many wrinkles around his eyes. Thanks to the family’s wealth from previous generations and having only one son, he inherited everything.
Their family owned a lot of land, more than they could cultivate themselves, so they rented out some of it to villagers, which earned them a good reputation.
The main crops grown in the area were millet and beans, so the main dish on the table was millet rice, along with two plates of stir-fried vegetables and a large jar of pickled vegetables.
Mo Yi’s mother also boiled some eggs, placing one in Mo Dali’s bowl and splitting one between Mo Yi and Mo Anan, leaving herself without one.
Compared to the rich and developed modern diet, their meal was simple and humble. But in their current time, it was much better than what most other households had. After all, not every family could afford to have pure millet rice and eggs on the table every meal, occasionally even having meat.
Mo Yi had experienced life in the ancient world and combined with the memories of the original owner, he knew that the conditions of the Mo family were considered quite good in this village.
As Mo Yi’s mother arranged the tableware, she complained, “Oh dear, when I told you before that I will find you a wife, you look like I was trying to take your life. Just the other day, you were out every day. What’s wrong today? You came back and haven’t wanted to leave the house? Raising a son is really worrying. Once you get married, you forget about your old mother.”
While her mouth kept going, her hands were busy. She placed the food intended for Bai Lin on a tray and pushed it towards Mo Yi, saying, “Stop staring like that. Hurry up and eat. The porridge is still hot. Once you finish, it’ll be just the right temperature for him. You can take it to him then.”
Mo Yi noticed the difference between Bai Lin’s meal and theirs.
Perhaps because the other person was ill, Mo Yi’s mother didn’t prepare a meal for him but instead cooked a thick millet porridge. Surprisingly, there was even an egg in the porridge, indicating that the other person was harsh with words but kind at heart.
Mo Yi smiled at his mother and then handed her the egg from his bowl. Seeing her usually dull son smile for once and even voluntarily sharing the egg, Mo Yi’s mother excitedly gave Mo Yi a couple of light smacks.
“Really! You’re this happy just because you got married? I don’t like eggs, you eat it!”
She wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye and tried to give Mo Yi the half egg again. But before Mo Yi could refuse, Mo Dali stopped her.
“Enough, it’s good that the child is filial. Who doesn’t love eggs? Really,” Mo Dali said, then split his own egg in half and gave it to Mo Yi, who didn’t refuse this time.
Now, each of them had half an egg in their bowl.
Mo Yi liked the atmosphere of this family. After finishing their meal, he picked up the tray and went to take the food to Bai Lin.
On the way, he frowned as he looked at the bland food in his hand. It seemed he needed to come up with some ways to help his companion improve his health!
I thought mo Yi was a toddler at first based on the last chapter haha
REAL so does that mean he was playing with some kids? 😭
