“Is it delicious?” Bai Lin asked, watching Mo Yi, who was now swaying slightly with his arm propped up on the table.
“Delicious! Super delicious!” Mo Yi nodded vigorously, rubbing his round belly with a dazed expression.
Seeing his beloved in this state, Bai Lin knew Mo Yi was probably drunk.
Setting down his own cup, Bai Lin moved closer to Mo Yi and gently stroked his cheek. “Mo Yi, since I’ve come back, you haven’t asked me about my exam results. Don’t you want to know how I did?”
Mo Yi shook his head. “I know you must have come first. You’re amazing!”
As Mo Yi spoke, he gestured enthusiastically, clearly impressed by Bai Lin’s achievement.
“You guessed right, Xiao Mo. You’re so smart, that’s why I like you the most.”
Hearing Bai Lin say he liked him, Mo Yi smiled foolishly.
“Xiao Mo, I’ve been in the capital for so long, thinking of you every day. Have you thought of me?”
“Of course!” Mo Yi quickly replied, nodding his head. He missed his partner very, very much.
Hearing Mo Yi’s response, Bai Lin’s tone softened even more. “Then, Xiao Mo, do you remember the woman who spoke to you at the village entrance the day before yesterday?”
“Woman?” Mo Yi tried hard to remember, but his mind didn’t seem to be working as well. He shook his head at Bai Lin.
Bai Lin persisted gently, “Let me give you a hint. She gave you a handkerchief. Do you remember accepting it?”
When the handkerchief was mentioned, Mo Yi had some recollection. Someone did try to give him a handkerchief recently. But he didn’t need it, and besides, he wasn’t clueless enough to just accept a girl’s handkerchief casually.
However, when it came to receiving handkerchiefs, he really had one. When they first got married, Anan had given him a handkerchief and wished them a hundred years of happiness.
Mo Yi cherished Anan’s blessing very much, so he kept the handkerchief close to him.
Now, hearing Bai Lin mention it, Mo Yi subconsciously reached into his chest and pulled out a handkerchief.
Thinking about it, Mo Yi realized he hadn’t shown off the beautiful handkerchief Anan gave him to his partner yet!

“What a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water! Hmph!” Bai Lin’s face instantly darkened.
The meaning of this pattern was too obvious, and his beloved not only accepted it but also cherished it so much that he kept it close to his heart.
Bai Lin’s heart stung with pain as he looked at the handkerchief in his hand. With a forceful tug, he tore it in half and threw it to the ground. Then, he lifted Mo Yi horizontally and carried him to the nearby bed.
Little did Mo Yi realize that the room was decorated with a lot of red, and the wedding quilt on the bed was specially prepared by Bai Lin yesterday.
Originally, he had planned to marry Mo Yi properly in the future and consummate their marriage.
But now, he didn’t intend to wait any longer. Today would be their wedding night.
Looking at the sleeping youth on the bed, Bai Lin leaned down and gently kissed his forehead. He then took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, popped a pill into his mouth, and then kissed Mo Yi’s lips, passing the medicine to him.
It was a drug that would make a person completely powerless. After living together for so long, Bai Lin naturally knew Mo Yi’s capabilities.
If his little fool were to wake up and try to resist or leave, Bai Lin wouldn’t be able to stop him. So, Bai Lin took precautions early on.
“Mo Yi, don’t blame me. You promised me. You clearly agreed to be with me for the rest of our lives, how could there be someone else? I just want you to fulfill your promise.”
Bai Lin spoke as he turned and lit a pair of prepared red candles from the drawer. Then, he began to undress both of them.
At this moment, he tightly embraced his beloved, what should have been the happiest moment, but his heart was still filled with pain.
“Mo Yi!” Bai Lin held Mo Yi’s chin and kissed him, his eyes filled with blood-red as he murmured, “How could you like someone else! You’re mine! Forever mine!”
The heat in the room rose steadily, warmth enveloping the space.
By the next mid-morning, Mo Yi began to regain consciousness. Looking at the wooden ceiling, he was momentarily disoriented.
As he moved to sit up, he realized he was being held tightly in someone’s arms. Without needing to turn his head, the familiar scent made it clear that it was his partner embracing him.
Waking up in his lover’s arms, Mo Yi felt a sense of contentment. However, he felt sore all over, and when he tried to move, he found that he couldn’t exert much strength.
Wait, why did he feel sore all over, and in certain places…
Mo Yi’s eyes widened suddenly, and he fully woke up. Looking down, he realized that he and his partner were both naked under the covers.
Remembering last night, when they drank quite a bit of alcohol.
So, did he and Bai Lin have intimate relations while drunk?
What a pity!
Mo Yi lamented inwardly, feeling regretful that he had gotten drunk during such an important moment with his partner, almost having no memory of it. How unfortunate!
The hangover was unpleasant, and Mo Yi had a headache. Especially when he realized what he had done last night, he felt extremely remorseful.
Ah! It’s so annoying! How important, how crucial, and he doesn’t even remember!
Mo Yi curled up in the blankets, covering his head, while his heart wailed inside. Meanwhile, Bai Lin had actually been awake for a while, he just wanted to see Mo Yi’s reaction.
Sensing Mo Yi’s movement, Bai Lin opened his eyes and saw his beloved clutching his head, looking pained. His heart felt like it was being torn apart even more.
Did being with him make Mo Yi this miserable?
Self-deprecatingly, Bai Lin smiled. He never imagined that one day he would be the source of Mo Yi’s pain. But even so, he had no intention of letting go.
He couldn’t let go. Leaving Mo Yi, he would die. He really would rather die!
In a silence that felt like avoidance, Bai Lin held Mo Yi quietly for a long time. Until Mo Yi, perhaps feeling suffocated, emerged from the blankets. When he lifted his head, he met a pair of deep eyes watching him.
“Bai Lin!” Mo Yi called out, realizing his voice was hoarse.
Bai Lin nodded and reached out to caress Mo Yi’s cheek. “Mo Yi, I’ve become the top scorer. I’ve come to pick you up. You promised to be with me forever, so no matter what you’re thinking now, I won’t let you go! You will always belong to me. And I, will only ever have you!”
Bai Lin’s voice was dry, filled with emotions he tried to suppress. He didn’t want to confront Mo Yi like this, but things had come to this point, and he had no choice.
The look in the young man’s eyes was almost overflowing with emotion, tinged with a chilling possessiveness.
Mo Yi was stunned by Bai Lin’s words. Although being with his partner made him happy, hearing his lover express his feelings so directly had a greater impact.
After all, what he had feared the most before were those rumors: that Bai Lin, as the top scorer, would marry a princess in the future, or that he would be captivated by the glamour of the capital and never return.
But now, seeing his partner, being together with him, and hearing him say gently that they would be together forever, and that they would only ever have each other, meant everything to Mo Yi.
In an instant, Mo Yi felt his heart enveloped by happiness. He looked at Bai Lin excitedly but couldn’t help confirming once again, “What about the princess? They said the emperor wants to arrange a marriage for you!”
“Hmm?” Bai Lin furrowed his brows at the question. “Indeed, His Majesty has arranged a marriage, but it’s for the third-place scholar, not me. By the way, the third-place scholar also has the surname Bai.”
“The third-place scholar also has the surname Bai?”
“Yes,” Bai Lin confirmed, observing Mo Yi’s expression carefully, wondering why he was asking about the princess and the arranged marriage. Did he think he would be the one getting married off, so he could easily get rid of Bai Lin?
Mo Yi hadn’t expected there to be two individuals with the surname Bai among the top scholars.
So, it was like this, it turned out to be like this!
There had been rumors before, saying the princess would marry one of the top three scholars, who happened to have the surname Bai. Although he didn’t want to believe it, the thought of Bai Lin’s name being associated with the princess made him uncomfortable.
But now, Bai Lin told him that it was all a misunderstanding…
“That’s great!” Mo Yi exclaimed excitedly.
“What?” Bai Lin was taken aback, expecting Mo Yi to say something rejecting.
However, Mo Yi suddenly cheered and hugged Bai Lin’s neck tightly, planting several kisses on his face.
“Bai Lin, Bai Lin, Bai Lin!” Mo Yi’s face was filled with a bright smile. “I love you the most, the most, the most!”
Bai Lin: The situation has turned out completely different from what I imagined!!!
I know some people are going to hate this chapter. But Bai Lin is a real yandere, and he’s always been psychotic. This feels on brand 🤷♀️
+1, it’s uncomfy but in-character. We the readers haven’t really had the opportunity yet to see this side of him in full force, because Mo Yi is always 100% on his hubby’s side lol. It’s a small solace that Mo Yi would have consented, if Bai Lin had given him the chance to 😛 (not condoning what Bai Lin did tho, always get consent when sober, kids)
+1
The main reason why I don’t hate it is because his psychotic behavior is (usually) only hurting himself. The silly loyal puppy doesn’t really understand what ML is doing and is just happy to be together (that one time when ML lied that he’s dying is the only instance when ML’s psychotic behavior truly hurt Mo Yi). Most of the time ML’s like: “I will make sure you never leave me” and MC is like: “yay, more cuddles and kisses~”
Thank you for the chapter
Man this chpt really shows how differently the tone of this story would’ve been if MY wasn’t so simple/straightforward/accepting/just himself.
Kkkkkkk what a shame don’t remembering something so important! Oh sweet misunderstanding!
You better pick up your sister in law’s handkerchief Bai Lin 👹
Umm alright so he did end up going non-con 🙂 Well as long as the pup is happy
Thanks for the chapter!
The regret over the handkerchief is gonna be real😂
Thank you for the update~
