Upon hearing Mo Yi’s words, Bai Lin was momentarily stunned. It was the first time in such a long time that the other person had called him like that. Although, his current identity was indeed this person’s male spouse.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable and unclear about his emotions, Bai Lin stood up and glanced at Mo Yi. He noticed that the leftovers from last night, which he had carefully covered, had been completely eaten.
Mo Yi, seeing no response from his partner, felt a bit sulky. He sat down quietly and ate breakfast with Bai Lin.
The Mo family’s food was delicious. The porridge for breakfast was thick and fragrant, and Mother Mo had prepared some delicious pickled vegetables to go with it.
Mo Yi drank a big bowl of porridge and ate four buns. Looking at Bai Lin, who was still leisurely eating and hadn’t finished his half-bowl of porridge, Mo Yi wiped his mouth and said, “Wife, I’m going out!”
After saying that, without waiting for Bai Lin’s reaction, he left. Bai Lin was left alone in the room, feeling a mix of helplessness and amusement.
He had just confirmed that this little fool, as soon as he came in the morning, called him his wife, and then when he left, he called him his wife again. It was clearly a retaliation for what he had said about the dinner last night.
Meanwhile, Mo Yi didn’t go directly to the mountains but went to the fields to help Mo Dali weed.
In this new environment, assuming the identity of someone else’s son, and with the family treating him so well, Mo Yi naturally wanted to reciprocate the kindness. Even though this kind of work was effortless for him, it brought immense satisfaction to Mo Dali.
Mother Mo kept praising her son for being sensible and fortunate to have a wife who helped him come to his senses.
Mo Yi didn’t pay much attention to these remarks. He remained silent when facing others, similar to how the original owner would behave.
After inspecting the fields, Mo Yi went to the riverside where he had previously agreed to meet with the children. They were already waiting there, eager to catch fish together.
Little Fatty pulled Mo Yi and together they picked a few earthworms from the grass by the riverside. Then, they placed them on the hooks and began fishing.
Mo Yi sat down on a rock, made a makeshift fishing rod with a line and a tree branch, and started fishing silently, even more so than usual.
Seeing Mo Yi like this, 006 couldn’t help but persuade him, “Host, don’t be sad. The villain doesn’t really want to separate from you. It’s just that you two have just met, and for him, obtaining an official position is a very important matter, it’s the main focus of his life.”
“I know being an official is important to him.” Mo Yi looked at the clear water in front of him, his gaze drifting along with the water plants beneath his feet.
“But I just feel unhappy. I’m not the naive me from before. I understand, but when he talks about separation and repaying, it feels like he’s putting a distance between us.”
With that, Mo Yi simply wedged the fishing rod into a crack in the rock and hugged his legs, burying his head in his arms. After a while, he said, “I was originally very happy.”
“I could immediately become his partner in this world, without so many complicated steps and procedures. I was originally very happy…”
In that moment of lowering his head, 006 saw Mo Yi’s slightly red eyes, feeling the sadness of his host, and the little dog’s tail drooped, feeling very distressed.

That despicable guy, if he knew he made Mo Yi so upset, he would surely regret it!

Therefore, after Little Fatty failed to catch any fish and saw Mo Yi’s expression, he immediately ran to his side.
“Brother Xiao Yi, what’s wrong with you?” Little Fatty asked.
Hearing Little Fatty’s voice, Mo Yi raised his head.
“I’m fine.” Mo Yi shook his head, but then he noticed that his fishing line moved. He quickly stood up and grabbed the fishing rod beside him, swiftly pulling it up.
A silver fish leaped out of the water, and Mo Yi quickly flung it onto the shore.
“Wow! It’s big!”
Little Fatty happily rushed over, seemingly not caring that he didn’t catch the fish himself. As long as someone caught a fish, he was happy. He even conscientiously went to grab the basket Mo Yi brought and threw the fish into it.
“Is it big?”
Mo Yi rubbed his chin, looking at the fish, which was only about the size of two palms put together. Seeing Little Fatty’s excitement, he thought that maybe it wasn’t bad after all, at least it was fresh. When he brought it back, making fish soup for his partner would also be nice.
However, as he relaxed after catching the fish, he started feeling restless again, thinking about what happened last night.
Seeing Mo Yi furrow his brows again, Little Fatty asked curiously, “Brother Xiao Yi, what’s wrong with you? You don’t seem very happy today?”
The other children nearby also approached, asking questions one after another.
“Big brother, are you worried about sister-in-law?” Suddenly, Shitou asked.
These children occasionally went into the mountains with Mo Yi and knew that he had been active lately to find good things for his sick wife.
“Big brother, is sister-in-law’s condition getting worse, so you’re upset?” Another child with a missing tooth asked, but before he finished speaking, Shitou slapped the back of his head and scolded him, “Nonsense!”
“Big brother, don’t worry. With you making delicious food every day, sister-in-law’s health will definitely improve soon!”
Mo Yi nodded with a smile, not offering much explanation. However, because of the concern of these children, he did feel a bit better.
He didn’t blame Bai Lin. His partner didn’t have their past memories, and coming to a whole new world would be influenced by the era and understanding here.
He believed that his partner did care about him; perhaps he just hadn’t realized it yet.
Thinking like this, Mo Yi resumed fishing with more vigor.
He found another sturdy branch, adjusted its angle, and focused on the small fish swimming in the water. Gripping the branch tightly, he waited for the perfect moment to strike.
This was something Mo Yi was very familiar with; hunting required precision and accuracy.
One by one, in no time, Mo Yi had already caught about ten small fish and threw them into the basket.
“Wow! Big brother is amazing!”
“Awesome, big brother is so good!”
The children cheered, having spent their time with Mo Yi, they had actually learned a lot. Now, seeing Mo Yi fishing like this, several of them were eager to try it themselves.
However, they would find it hard to match Mo Yi’s skill. Only Shitou had some luck and actually managed to catch a fish, which made him extremely happy.
Laughing and playing with these children, Mo Yi felt all his worries melt away.
By evening, he returned home with a basket full of fish.
Mother Mo was delighted to see so many fish. She cooked fish soup for dinner and stewed some small miscellaneous fish with soy sauce. Because they stewed for a long time, the bones of the fish became so soft that they could be eaten without fear of choking on bones.
Mo Yi looked at the fish in front of him, feeling a bit nostalgic for fried small fish. However, he understood that oil was a luxury in this era. Even though the Mo family was wealthy, they couldn’t afford to use so much oil for frying.
Mo Dali praised Mo Yi after taking a bite of the fish on the table, saying that their family’s food standards had improved significantly since he married his wife.
Praised by his father, Mo Yi felt happy and carried the tray full of food back to the room.
But when he saw Bai Lin, he forced a smile and said in a muffled voice, “Wife, come eat dinner.”
Wasn’t he supposed to be separating from him? Wasn’t he unwilling to be with him? Yet, he insisted on calling him his wife.
Though he understood, he was still angry.
Mo Yi put down the tray heavily, sat down, and looked at Bai Lin with his mouth pouted.
Bai Lin got up from the bed, looking at Mo Yi’s appearance, feeling a bit amused. He hadn’t expected this little fool to have such a stubborn temper.
“Mo Yi.”
He sighed and saw that the little fool was still ignoring him, humming softly to himself, and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
During dinner, Bai Lin’s eating manners remained refined as usual. Mo Yi looked at his elegant partner, who despite being weak, possessed exceptional grace, and felt that his lover was indeed the most beautiful.
Staring at that face, he felt like he could eat three extra bowls of rice just by looking at it.
With the two of them so close, how could Bai Lin not feel Mo Yi’s gaze? He lifted his head and saw the little fool eagerly picking out the best piece of fish for him.
“Wife, have some fish!”
He couldn’t forget this important term of endearment. Seeing his partner’s slightly embarrassed expression, Mo Yi’s mood improved considerably. Moreover, since his lover had fed him so many times before, it was finally his turn to feed him!
Mo Yi felt that he was truly reliable and capable.
Shouldn’t he reward himself for being so capable?
With that in mind, Mo Yi looked at the person in front of him, whose lips had turned rosy from drinking hot soup, and swallowed.
After Bai Lin finished dinner and finished tidying up, Mo Yi leaned over and said, “I caught the fish today. Was it delicious?”
Seeing the rarely boastful appearance of the little fool in front of him, Bai Lin couldn’t help but smile inwardly. “It was delicious. You went to a lot of trouble.”
Little did he know that the person across from him would say, “You’re welcome, just give me a reward!”
Before Bai Lin could even think about what reward to give, Mo Yi hugged him and pressed his lips against his.
Instinctively, Bai Lin wanted to push Mo Yi away, but the moment their lips touched, his mind went blank.
A tingling sensation spread throughout his body, and he felt like all his senses were concentrated on Mo Yi’s lips. The soft and delicious feeling made him unable to resist.
For years, Bai Lin had been focused solely on studying and passing the imperial exams, and had never experienced such emotions. He felt like he was floating on clouds, every pore tingling with electricity.
His heartbeat accelerated continuously, and this heavenly experience felt unreal yet somehow unsatisfying.
He wanted to experience more but didn’t know what to do, so he relied on instinct to hold onto the person in front of him tightly. Holding his breath, he even trembled all over.
However, perhaps due to his poor physical condition or the overwhelming excitement, after a while, Bai Lin suddenly blacked out…
Facing his partner’s reaction, Mo Yi was initially very pleased.
He had only given a little kiss, and yet his partner was so responsive. How could he still have the nerve to say he wanted to part ways?
See, his partner didn’t know how much he loved him!
It had been a long time since they had been this intimate, and Mo Yi was enjoying it. He wanted to kiss a little longer. But after a while, he suddenly felt something was off about the person he was holding.
Raising his head, he quickly checked on Bai Lin’s condition and was startled.
“Oh no, 006, I think I kissed him until he passed out!”
