“And also, the decoration here is almost identical to the guest room,” Mo Yi looked around and affirmed.
In fact, there were differences. Inside the wardrobe were a few of Bai Ren’s clothes for daily wear, but that was about it.
Smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, a hint of irony flashed in Bai Ren’s eyes. This place had never been his home, even though he had grown up here.
Without asking how long he had been gone, this time back from abroad, although he hadn’t stayed for many days, it was evident that his father hadn’t really cared about him at all.
Should he be thankful that after he went abroad, his belongings were packed up by the maid and placed neatly in a box in the wardrobe instead of being thrown away like garbage?
Of course, it could also be just the worker’s initiative. That man never spared any extra thoughts for him.
Mo Yi also noticed the man’s strange attitude after asking that question, and his emotions seemed to instantly turn sour.
Not knowing the reason behind it, Mo Yi instinctively squatted down next to Bai Ren’s wheelchair, holding his hand and looking up at him with concern filling his eyes.
Seeing the look in Mo Yi’s eyes, Bai Ren’s sarcastic smile faded, and his heart warmed slightly.
He reached out to ruffle the boy’s fluffy hair, and when he saw Mo Yi subconsciously nuzzling his face against his hand, full of dependence, his irritable mood seemed to be pacified.
“Why are you being so obedient?” Bai Ren’s thumb lightly brushed against Mo Yi’s cheek, and the man lowered his head to rest his forehead against Mo Yi’s.
Bai Ren enjoyed being looked up at like this, as if Mo Yi’s heart and eyes were filled only with him.
Mo Yi didn’t understand why the man’s mood had improved again, but he felt happy about it, smiling incessantly at the person in the wheelchair.
Infected by Mo Yi’s silly smile, Bai Ren also smiled, and as he playfully scratched Mo Yi’s chin with his index and middle fingers, he teasingly murmured, “Why are you smiling so much? Like a little puppy. Little Mo Puppy? Puppy? Hmm?”
Puppy!
Mo Yi’s heart trembled for a moment. Although he always claimed he was neither human nor beast, deep down, he felt like he belonged to the canine category.
He just had a different kind of tail, with a split end, and a flame mark on his forehead.
He loved his beast form so much, feeling like he was a majestic dog.

But nobody liked him. Not to mention, being called “puppy” with such affection.

But now, he felt even more strongly that he really liked Bai Ren!
The two of them continued to indulge in each other’s company in the room for a long time. When they finally emerged, dinner downstairs was ready.
It was meant to be a welcoming meal for Bai Ren, with the whole family eating together. However, when they took their seats, it was clear that there was a distinction between the main and secondary guests, with Mo Yi and Bai Ren seated towards the back. Thankfully, there was plenty of food on the table, so they didn’t have trouble reaching the dishes.
However, Mo Yi’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter as he looked at the table full of spicy dishes.
After spending so much time together, he knew that Bai Ren preferred milder flavors, especially since he was still recovering from his injuries and needed to be mindful of his diet.
Didn’t anyone here know what kind of food a patient should eat?
Bai Ren didn’t mind though. He knew that the flavors on the table were tailored to Bai Yucheng’s preferences. This was the Bai family, and he didn’t see anything wrong with it.
Bai Yucheng’s expression was also a bit grim. Although Bai Ren had gone abroad when he was very young, aside from the few days before his departure to Shencheng, they hadn’t seen each other in over a decade.
But in his heart, Bai Ren was different from everyone else.
With several years’ age difference, Bai Ren was Bai Yucheng’s first childhood playmate.
He still remembered the Bai Ren in his eyes back then, a gentle older brother who took care of him very well, so outstanding that he admired him.
Until one day, Bai Yucheng, then in middle school, returned home with an award certificate, eager to show it to his elder brother Bai Ren. However, when he rushed to Bai Ren’s room, it was empty, as if he had vanished into thin air.
He went to his mother, saying he wanted to see Bai Ren. At first, his mother’s attitude was mild, but when he insisted, she sternly scolded him, saying he was neglecting his studies and focusing on unimportant people.
He went to Bai Yan, who said Bai Ren was to school abroad and was tightly managed, and Bai Ren needed to concentrate on studying, making it impossible to contact him.
It wasn’t until he went to university that he reconnected with Bai Ren. However, their distance was too great, and although Bai Ren’s attitude towards him remained very good, he could clearly feel the distance, which left him feeling regretful.
Looking at the food on the table, if it were under normal circumstances, it would be fine. But now, considering Bai Ren’s current physical condition, Ye Shishuang should have instructed the kitchen to prepare mild dishes.
Bai Yucheng understood Bai Yan’s temperament, and he no longer spoke as he thinks of it like he did when he was a child. Because in the end, Bai Ren would be the one who got scolded in private.
Instead of adding trouble by speaking up now, it would be better to have the meal prepared later.
Only Bai Yan remained calm, directing the staff below and looking up at Bai Ren deliberately as he said, “Being able to eat with the master’s family, we should be grateful.”
The way he said that, it was as if they should be immensely grateful for eating at this table. Clearly, it was this person who instructed the kitchen to prepare spicy dishes.
It was not like this is a feudal society…
Mo Yi felt a bit speechless, feeling like his brain had been thoroughly indoctrinated with historical knowledge, yet even here at Bai Yan’s place, he couldn’t understand him.
He had already realized that the world he was in in his past life was probably similar to a somewhat backward ancient world. Although he didn’t know how, there were many fantastical elements, but in any case, he could still be considered an ancient person.
How could Bai Yan, this modern person, still have so many outdated ideas in his mind, unable to keep up with the information age?
Mo Yi couldn’t stand Bai Yan’s attitude, wanting to speak out but being stopped by Bai Ren’s hand.
In the end, except for Bai Yan and the oblivious Bai mother, everyone else ate without much enjoyment.
After the meal, Ye Shishuang left. Although she and Bai Yucheng were already engaged, they hadn’t married yet.
Bai mother politely said a few words, but in reality, she didn’t have much intention of keeping her. To put it bluntly, she didn’t think much of this grassroots daughter-in-law. But since her son insisted, she could only reluctantly accept it.
Mo Yi quickly escorted Bai Ren back to his room, then immediately opened his phone and opened the omnipotent food delivery app.
Thankful for this convenient era, he felt that food delivery was truly a great invention of humanity!
He ordered a bunch of dishes Bai Ren liked, and in less than half an hour, they were already delivered to the door. Excitedly, Mo Yi took them in and gently knocked on Bai Ren’s door, then walked in with a bunch of delicious food.
Seeing the smug expression on Mo Yi’s face and the bag he was carrying, Bai Ren knew his intentions and smiled, pointing to the table beside him, “Put it on there.”
“Okay!” Mo Yi obediently placed the dishes on the table, sneaking glances at Bai Ren.
Seeing that the table was filled with dishes he usually enjoyed, Bai Ren raised an eyebrow and affirmed, “These are all my favorites.”
“Of course! I’ve promised to take care of you, how could I let you go hungry!”
Mo Yi looked pleased with himself, gesturing for Bai Ren to come over and handing him chopsticks, while he sat obediently beside him, waiting to be fed.
Watching the silly look on Mo Yi’s face, Bai Ren felt extremely happy, all the frustration from the Bai family had long been swept away.
They never had many rules when they were together, and Mo Yi even opened his tablet, playing the variety show he was currently following. They laughed and ate together, the atmosphere both relaxed and pleasant.
Hearing laughter coming from the room, Bai Yucheng, holding a tray of freshly made dishes, paused, his hand hesitating to knock.
It seemed like it had been a long time since he heard Bai Ren’s laughter. It was obvious that the two people in the room were having a meal, and the other person should be Mo Yi, who had saved Bai Ren. It seemed their relationship was really good.
It seemed like leaving this person by Bai Ren’s side might actually be a good thing.
After dinner, Mo Yi lingered in Bai Ren’s room for a while before returning to his own. But tonight, for some reason, he couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
Although in the past, he had lived peacefully with Bai Ren in Shencheng, at the Bai family’s home, Mo Yi just couldn’t feel at ease.
After tossing and turning in bed for a while, 006 almost wanted to ask Mo Yi what was wrong when he saw the boy sitting up straight.
Feeling a bit agitated, Mo Yi scratched his head before getting out of bed, opening his luggage, and rummaging through it until he pulled out a slightly old towel.
But 006 recognized this towel immediately—it was clearly Bai Ren’s.
When they packed their belongings, Mo Yi had stuffed their toiletries together. Even though Zhu Xiuya had said they would have new ones, Mo Yi still preferred to use things that had his scent on them. Bai Ren’s towel was among those items.
Burying his face in the towel, Mo Yi deeply inhaled a few times. He sighed contentedly, feeling his heart settle instantly with the familiar scent.
Perhaps it was because during their time in Shencheng, the suite they had lived in for a month had become default “home” for him and Bai Ren, which made him adapt so quickly. But here, neither he nor Bai Ren truly felt a sense of belonging.
So, he desperately needed something to calm him down, like the scent of the person he knew best.
Even Mo Yi himself wasn’t aware that, in his heart, wherever Bai Ren was, that was his home.
With the towel in hand, Mo Yi returned to bed. After spreading the towel out and using it as a pillowcase, he buried his face in it several times before finally closing his eyes and drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
Once Bai Ren sees this his obsession will only worsen 🤣🤣
True that haha I can already imagine his fiery eyes looking at Mo Yi intently 😂
