After Mo Yi delivered the meal to the room, this time he obediently left immediately. Mainly because he was worried that with him around, his partner wouldn’t get up to eat.
Bai Lin is currently in a somewhat awkward and reserved stage at the Mo family. Mo Yi has carefully considered Bai Lin’s situation and the current dynasty, feeling that he shouldn’t rush things.
After Mo Yi left, Bai Lin got up from the bed and walked slowly to the table. He looked at the food on the table, the strong aroma of rice wafting over, making his hunger even more visible.
After sitting down, he picked up the bowl of porridge and only then noticed that the thick millet porridge even had an egg in it, his expression becoming somewhat complex.
This was a level of hospitality that his own family had never given him, even though they had taken over his land and property.
In theory, as a person of integrity, he shouldn’t be eating these at this time, but Bai Lin didn’t have such thoughts.
Even before meeting Mo Yi, he had an extreme aversion to the Mo family, but he would still carefully consume the food and medicine brought by them.
Bai Lin was actually grateful for these things provided by the Mo family. If he hadn’t stayed as a male spouse, he would definitely have to thank their whole family.
However, no matter how much resentment he harbored, he also understood that he had to take care of his health.
The fact that Uncle Mo’s family did this to him, he would never forget in his life!
Taking a deep breath, he drank the porridge. The egg tasted very fragrant, something he rarely had at home when his father was alive. After all, supporting him to study was also an expense, so they naturally tried to avoid unnecessary expenses.
In the households around here, eggs were considered a luxury, yet they were willing to give it to him, this disagreeable sickly male spouse. It seemed that the Mo family was indeed a bit foolish. That’s why they could raise a child with such clear eyes.
Finishing every bit of the meal, feeling the warmth in his stomach, Bai Lin returned to bed to continue resting.
Meanwhile, Mo Yi wandered around the room, wanting to familiarize himself with the environment. After all, even with the original owner’s memories, the feeling of the memories and the reality of the surroundings were different.
The Mo family seemed quite accustomed to Mo Yi’s behavior, as nobody paid much attention to him. Even Mo Anan, after finishing embroidering a handkerchief, specially showed it to him.
Mo Yi casually praised its appearance, making the young girl very happy, as she tried to give the handkerchief to Mo Yi.
“Aren’t you going to sell this?” Mo Yi didn’t accept the handkerchief, looking at Mo Anan with confusion.
“What’s the big deal? I can always embroider another one. Look, there are two mandarin ducks embroidered on it, wishing you and your new sister-in-law a harmonious hundred years!” Mo Anan said auspicious words with a smile, making Mo Yi very pleased. He carefully took the new handkerchief and cherished it.
It wasn’t until nightfall that Mo Yi returned to the room where Bai Lin was.
The room was still dim, but Mo Yi’s night vision was good. He turned on the light himself and saw that the food on the table had been eaten clean, which relieved him.

Looking at his partner, who seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, Mo Yi took off his outer garment and carefully climbed into bed.

Forget it, let’s not be too greedy when just arriving. Being able to sleep on the same bed is already good enough!
Mo Yi comforted himself and soon drifted off to sleep.
After Mo Yi’s breathing became steady, the man beside him finally opened his eyes, turning his head to gaze at Mo Yi’s peaceful sleeping face.
In fact, Bai Lin had never been asleep. He had sensed Mo Yi’s presence since he entered. Considering it was late, he was curious if Mo Yi would do anything to him.
However, the young man seemed only to want to come back to sleep. He even seemed afraid of waking him up, handling everything with such care.
Truly obedient and innocent…
Coming to the Mo family as a male spouse, living in their house, eating their food and medicine, Bai Lin had prepared himself to endure humiliation.
If the person was this little fool, Bai Lin thought, perhaps he could tolerate it.
As long as he was given time to settle down here temporarily and recuperate.
However, nothing happened.
The young man lay beside him, sleeping soundly. The distance between the two was close that Bai Lin felt he could even smell the breath from the other person’s body.
It was a scent reminiscent of the aroma found on animal cubs, very unique, yet exceptionally pleasant.
Unable to resist, he took a deep breath. This scent actually relaxed his nerves.
Bai Lin originally thought that with a stranger beside him, he wouldn’t be able to sleep. Who would have thought that, inhaling Mo Yi’s scent, his eyelids gradually became heavy, and soon, he drifted into slumber.
The next day, when Mo Yi woke up, Bai Lin was still asleep. But for someone weak, this was common, and getting a little extra sleep was beneficial for recovery.
Mo Yi got up quietly, trying not to disturb the person beside him.
After hastily eating breakfast and sending food to his partner, Mo Yi left the house.
He had important matters to attend to today!
The village Mo Yi was currently in was called Mojia Village, nestled among mountains and water. There were not only plenty of wild vegetables on the mountains but also many wild animals.
However, in Mo Yi’s eyes, those were all ready-made meat waiting for him to bring back home.
But as he walked halfway, he encountered the group of children he had seen when he first arrived in this world.
“Brother Goudan!”
Little Fatty saw Mo Yi and immediately waved excitedly at him. The other children, perhaps due to their last encounter during math class, had a much-improved impression of Mo Yi and showed him a warm attitude.
What “Goudan,” my name in this world is Mo Yi, okay!
But it seems that the children here call each other like this, using nicknames such as Little Fatty, Shitou, Erlu, and Zhuzi. As the saying goes, a nickname is easy to remember.
Since these children expressed goodwill towards him, Mo Yi nodded in return, acknowledging their greeting.
Unexpectedly, these children ran straight to him. Little Fatty was holding a basket and smiled, “Brother Goudan, we’re going to dig wild vegetables in the mountains. Do you want to come with us?”
“Don’t keep calling me Goudan, call me Brother Mo Yi.”
Mo Yi tapped Little Fatty’s forehead with a finger. Although he was indeed a dog, such intimate nicknames were reserved for his partner.
Of course, Mo Yi could accept being called nicknames by family members in this little world, but he didn’t like it when others called him that.
Little Fatty readily agreed and called out, “Brother Xiao Yi.” Mo Yi thought this nickname wasn’t bad, so he didn’t correct it and patted the child’s head.
Seeing the children’s baskets and tools, Mo Yi knew that the village children often gathered near the foot of the mountain to dig wild vegetables or go to the small river to catch some small fish, shrimp, and snails. Mo Yi thought it was a good idea to join them on their way.
Moreover, since the original owner was considered a “fool” and had never been taken to the mountains before, fearing he might encounter danger, it would be convenient for Mo Yi to accompany them, as they knew the area well.
“Alright, I’ll go with you guys.”
Following Little Pang to join the group, the other children also came over. Seeing that Mo Yi had nothing in his hands, Shitou, with his dark skin, specially walked over and gave Mo Yi a shovel from his own basket.
Taking it, Mo Yi heard Shitou compliment him, “Brother Xiao Yi, you’re really good at math!”
Shitou smiled, thinking that the Mo family was originally wealthy, and now the “fool” had married a scholar as a male spouse. Perhaps he had learned something from the other person, which is why he could calculate so quickly and accurately.
If he could get along well with this guy, learn this skill, maybe he could go to town in the future and become an accountant or something. Even if he couldn’t be an accountant, being able to write and calculate would earn him more than the average laborer.
Mo Yi didn’t know that the guy across from him was clicking his abacus. Seeing him being praised, he wasn’t humble at all, nodding in acknowledgment.
He felt there was nothing wrong with being praised. He was already awesome and especially smart!
The group arrived at the mountainside, but they didn’t venture into the mountains themselves. Yet, there were plenty of wild vegetables for them to pick.
Occasionally, they could see a few fruit trees with small but colorful fruits hanging from them.
Mo Yi saw the children picking them, so he picked one himself and took a bite. Immediately, his face contorted in sourness.
“Why is it so sour!” Mo Yi wore a mask of pain, making the surrounding children burst into laughter.
Little Fatty laughed while also stuffing one into his mouth, but he also made a sour face.
“You don’t even mind the sourness, and still eating it!” Mo Yi’s mouth watered, but after two bites, he stopped.
Little Fatty persisted in eating the whole thing, saying, “It’s sour, but there’s a sweetness to it if you savor it!”
Alright, Mo Yi thought, seeing a few other children eating the same way, sour-faced but still enjoying it, he couldn’t help but feel amused.
He was quite adaptable to the mountain environment, so he took off his outer robe and made a small cloth pouch to carry things in. He decided to pick some things to take back with him.
Every world was different, even in ancient times, there were subtle differences in plants. So Mo Yi only picked the plants the children had picked before, which were said to be safe.
Shitou was very attentive in teaching him. Mo Yi raised an eyebrow when he saw Shitou’s two faces compared to the first time they met. Sure enough, not long after, the boy smiled and said to him, “Brother Xiao Yi, since you’re so good at math, can you teach me?”
“Alright.” Mo Yi readily agreed. It was just simple arithmetic, he wasn’t so petty. “I’ll teach you when there’s a chance.”
Shitou was very happy to hear that and enthusiastically introduced various plants they saw.
However, Mo Yi didn’t pick much despite listening.
After a while, he headed deeper into the mountains. It was likely that animals rarely ventured near the edge of this forest where people often came.
Shitou and Little Fatty blinked, realizing Mo Yi was gone, and hurriedly searched for him.
Just then, as Mo Yi had walked a bit further, he was intercepted by a few kids who had hurriedly come looking for him.
“Brother Xiao Yi, don’t go further in. It’s dangerous inside, and it’s easy to get lost!” Shitou advised.
At that moment, Mo Yi suddenly made a “shh” gesture towards him. Then he turned to look at the nearby bushes and picked up a stone, swiftly throwing it.
Everyone saw something flapping in the bushes and then tumbling out. Upon closer inspection, it was a greyish-black bird with patterns.
“Wow! It’s a bald-tailed bird!” Little Fatty shouted, immediately running over on his short legs and grabbing the bird’s neck, waving it at them.
The bird probably would have died even if it hadn’t been hit by the stone, it was shaken to death by Little Fatty.
Mo Yi couldn’t help but smirk. What bald-tailed bird? Wasn’t this just a quail?
After spending so much time, the first catch turned out to be just a little bigger than a chick!
Wouldn’t it be ridiculous to bring this back to his partner to supplement his diet and risk being kicked out of the room?
