Bai Lin was bewildered as he was embraced Mo Yi, receiving the young man’s passionate kisses. He couldn’t understand why Mo Yi’s attitude at this moment was completely different from what he had imagined. Instead of anger, complaints, or avoidance, Mo Yi’s demeanor was filled with genuine joy.
Bai Lin deeply loved Mo Yi, and he couldn’t resist such a temptation. He had thought that he could only fulfill his desires when Mo Yi was intoxicated, but now, faced with Mo Yi’s initiative, he couldn’t contain his excitement. Quickly, he went from being passive to taking the lead, satisfying Mo Yi’s desires once again.
By the time everything was settled, the afternoon had passed.
Mo Yi woke up late, having skipped breakfast and lunch. After all the activities, his stomach grumbled with hunger. He touched his flat stomach, looking at Bai Lin with a bit of grievance.
Seeing his beloved’s pitiful expression, Bai Lin’s heart melted. He quickly got up to warm up the leftover food from last night and served it to Mo Yi.
Watching Mo Yi devour the food, Bai Lin handed him a glass of water and said softly, “Take it slow.”
Mo Yi nodded, slowing down his eating speed.
“Xiao Mo, do you know what you were doing when you woke up just now?” Perhaps because Mo Yi had taken the initiative, Bai Lin’s mood had calmed down a lot as he asked Mo Yi.
“Of course I do,” Mo Yi answered bluntly. “We’re husband and wife, so isn’t it normal?”
Mo Yi said, leaning closer to Bai Lin and feeding him a bite of food.
Feeling Mo Yi’s affectionate gesture, Bai Lin smiled, but his mood soured as he glanced at the handkerchief that had been thrown on the ground last night.
Now he was sure that Mo Yi loved him, but…
“Xiao Mo, can we just be together? Just the two of us for the rest of our lives, without anyone else?” Bai Lin looked into Mo Yi’s eyes earnestly.
“Of course!” Mo Yi answered without hesitation.
Bai Lin was satisfied with this answer and continued, “Then you’re not allowed to accept handkerchiefs or gifts from other girls in the future, nor from men.”
“Huh? When did I accept a handkerchief or gift from someone else?”
Mo Yi tilted his head, not remembering the period after he passed out last night.
Upon hearing this, Bai Lin furrowed his brows, never expecting his beloved to deny it.
Suppressing his frustration, he pointed to the torn handkerchief on the ground and said, “Then what about this handkerchief? Wasn’t it given to you by a girl?”

“Huh?” Mo Yi looked at Bai Lin, bewildered, but considering that the one who gave him the handkerchief was Mo Anan, his little sister in this world, he nodded. “I quite like her.”
Mo Anan was very kind to him, always treating him like an older brother and doing things for him. He had nothing to complain about such a good little sister!
“What, how can you be so indecisive!” Bai Lin pointed at Mo Yi, his hand trembling with anger.
Confused by his partner’s attitude, Mo Yi was even more puzzled.
“What are you talking about? What indecisiveness? This handkerchief was given to me by Anan.”
Hearing Mo Yi’s words, Bai Lin’s breath sank. He didn’t expect his beloved little fool to learn to lie too.
No longer concealing anything, Bai Lin said directly, “Mo Yi, I saw it with my own eyes that day at the village entrance. Little Fatty’s sister gave you a handkerchief, and you accepted it!”
Mo Yi then remembered meeting Little Fatty’s sister a few days ago, looking innocent as he explained, “I used to wait for you at the village entrance every day whenever I had free time. That day, I met Sister Xiuxiu, Anan’s friend.
But she didn’t give me a handkerchief; she came to return the embroidery pattern that Anan had lent her before. As soon as I got home, I gave the pattern to Anan.
The one in my hand is indeed from Anan, and it’s for congratulating us on our wedding. Look, the two mandarin ducks on it are both male!”
As Mo Yi spoke, he placed the torn handkerchief on the table and finally pieced together the torn pattern.
Mo Yi patted the handkerchief and frowned as he looked at Bai Lin.
Bai Lin finally took the time to carefully examine the pattern on it and realized that it was indeed a pair of male mandarin ducks.
“Is this really from Anan?” Bai Lin pursed his lips, feeling somewhat guilty as he asked.
“Yeah!” Mo Yi nodded vigorously, looking at the handkerchief with a pained expression. “She said it was to wish us a lifetime of happiness. I thought the symbolism was particularly good, so I’ve been keeping it. Now it’s ruined!”
Bai Lin suddenly realized the big misunderstanding he had made. The supposed rendezvous between Mo Yi and other girls he had thought of before was just a coincidence. The handkerchief incident was simply about returning Mo Anan’s embroidery pattern.
As for the token of affection he thought Mo Yi had with someone else last night, it turned out to be a gift from Mo Anan congratulating them on their wedding.
The two male mandarin ducks on it left Bai Lin with no room for argument.
Moreover, Mo Yi also mentioned that he used to wait for Bai Lin at the village entrance every day whenever he had free time…
Bai Lin blushed with embarrassment, feeling awkward as he looked at Mo Yi.
But then, a wave of joy surged in his heart. It turned out that his little fool had never wavered in his feelings!
The thought of his beloved carrying the handkerchief symbolizing their happiness in his pocket every day, waiting eagerly for Bai Lin to return at the village entrance, filled Bai Lin’s heart with warmth.
“Mo Yi!” Bai Lin couldn’t help but hug him tightly.
“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault, I’m the one who’s wrong!”
Bai Lin kissed Mo Yi’s face randomly and held him tightly for a while before calming down his excitement.
Mo Yi, who had been feeling regretful about the handkerchief, was comforted by Bai Lin’s hugs and kisses and felt better.
However, about the handkerchief…
“How do I explain this to Anan?” Mo Yi sighed. “It’s really a pity!”
“It’s all my fault for misunderstanding and thinking it was a handkerchief from another girl. I got angry and tore it up. Don’t worry, I’ll personally apologize to Anan later.”
Bai Lin said, staring at the handkerchief, but in his heart, he was thinking about learning embroidery from Mo Anan and embroidering a purse or handkerchief for his beloved little fool himself.
“However, it’s not that serious,” Mo Yi shook his head, suddenly realizing that something his partner mentioned seemed off.
“Bai Lin, didn’t you just come back the night before last? How could you have seen me with Sister Xiuxiu?”
Mo Yi, for once, had a moment of clarity, squinting at Bai Lin.
“I, um…”
Bai Lin’s eyelids twitched. He felt like he had stepped into a series of traps.
But now that he had been caught, he couldn’t hide it anymore. He had to be honest with Mo Yi. “So, like I said, it’s all my fault. I actually came back earlier than I said.
After the palace exam, I hurriedly left the capital, wanting to come back and see you as soon as possible. But as soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I saw that scene and misunderstood.
I was afraid, afraid that you would say you didn’t want to be with me. I didn’t show up until yesterday, hoping to… try to win you over.”
As for how he tried to win Mo Yi over, it was self-evident from the fact that Mo Yi had been plied with a lot of alcohol and what happened afterward.
Mo Yi didn’t expect his partner to have such tactics, but he wasn’t angry. He patted Bai Lin playfully. “How could that be? I was afraid you’d reject me once you became the top scholar!”
“It was me who was afraid you wouldn’t want me,” Bai Lin said softly, hugging Mo Yi and kissing him.
As for the matter of feeding the medicine that made his little fool weak all over, he decided not to mention it. It seemed like the effects of the medicine had worn off anyway.
He had thought about giving Mo Yi another dose if he resisted him when he woke up in the morning, but now it seemed unnecessary.
He didn’t want Mo Yi to see more of his dark side and be scared away. He wanted to protect and cherish his precious treasure for the rest of his life.
With the misunderstanding cleared up, Bai Lin’s plan to secretly take Mo Yi away from Anping county and bring him back to the capital where he was appointed after he passed the imperial examination.
But they still had to meet Mo’s family, so they had to return to the village.
Thinking about how he detained Mo Yi and didn’t let him return home all night, Bai Lin feared that Mo’s family would be very displeased if they found out.
Taking responsibility for his own actions, Bai Lin sighed inwardly as he helped Mo Yi wash up and tidy himself. Just as he finished grooming and dressing, a hurried knocking came from outside.
Furrowing his brow, Bai Lin instructed Mo Yi to wait in the room while he went to answer the door. Opening it, he found Wu Zhengqing standing there.
Bai Lin wasn’t surprised that Wu Zhengqing had found him; after all, he had stumbled upon this secluded and favorable location for Bai Lin precisely because of Wu Zhengqing’s help. However, before Bai Lin could say anything, Wu Zhengqing barged in without preamble, bombarding him with questions.
“I say, Brother Bai, is that kid from the Mo family here with you?”
Bai Lin had already expressed his feelings for Mo Yi to his teacher, Master Yu, who had shared the news with his friend Wu Zhengqing. Wu Zhengqing had been surprised for quite some time.
Initially, he had believed Bai Lin’s explanation that staying with the Mo family was just a temporary measure. But now, these two seemed to be in love!
Lol mc is ascute as always and the ml… IDK what to say …
