The next morning, Mo Yi was awakened by the ringing of his phone placed on the bedside table.
Groggily opening his eyes and answering the phone, he heard a familiar male voice on the other end: “Are you awake, little puppy?”
Perhaps due to just waking up, the voice sounded a bit husky, but it was even more charming.
Mo Yi immediately woke up, blinking away the sleepiness, and said with some excitement, “Bai Ren?”
“Yeah.” Laughter came through the phone, making Mo Yi’s ears feel tingly. Bai Ren’s voice was really pleasant to listen to.
Seeing the bright daylight outside the window, Mo Yi realized it was already late. It seemed like it was all thanks to the towel; being surrounded by its familiar scent last night had made Mo Yi sleep especially deeply.
Knowing that Bai Ren had called him on purpose to wake him up, Mo Yi cheerfully freshened up and then hurried to the next room.
Bai Ren had already finished grooming himself and was sitting in his wheelchair, smiling as he greeted Mo Yi, “If I hadn’t called you, were you planning to sleep forever, little lazy pig?”
“I’m not a pig.” Mo Yi seriously refuted, which amused Bai Ren greatly.
“If you’re not a little lazy pig, then what are you? A little lazy dog?” Bai Ren teased, but to his surprise, Mo Yi nodded earnestly.
Mo Yi thought for a moment, feeling that he couldn’t compromise on his breed. He had to make his stance clear, so he simply let out a “woof” towards Bai Ren.
This “woof” was full of spirit, causing Bai Ren to pause for two seconds after hearing it, then burst into laughter uncontrollably.
After a while, the man tapped his own forehead, stifling his laughter. He waved to Mo Yi, “Come over here and push me. Let’s go out for breakfast together.”
Once Mo Yi obediently approached, Bai Ren grabbed his hand, prompting him to bend down, and kissed his forehead.
Seeing Mo Yi frozen in surprise, Bai Ren, somewhat fondly, planted two more kisses on his cheek.

Completely unaware that he wouldn’t have such intimacy and fondness for just anyone, Bai Ren generally disliked being touched and had his own comfortable social distance. His internal boundaries were quite high.
But some people were different from others, and they could easily break through other’s preconceptions and habits.
It wasn’t until they were out the door that Mo Yi realized what had happened. Realizing that Bai Ren had kissed his forehead and cheek, he became instantly excited.
If Bai Ren kissed him, it meant he really liked him!
What a discerning man he was. Mo Yi just knew he was a lovable little dog!
So, for the whole morning, Mo Yi’s smile never left his face.
Bai Yucheng couldn’t help but feel puzzled. What good news had Bai Ren encountered to make him so happy?
After breakfast, Bai Ren mentioned that he wanted to return to work at Shengheng.
Since returning to China, he had been responsible for several projects at Shengheng, not only participating in some pharmaceutical research but also holding multiple roles, including managing a department.
“Bai Ren, your health isn’t fully recovered yet. You should rest at home for a while longer,” Bai Yucheng advised.
Mo Yi also shared this sentiment, but Bai Yan immediately countered, saying to Bai Ren, “Rest? You’ve already recuperated for a month in Shencheng. You should return to the company and catch up on the work you’ve missed.”
It seemed like he wanted Bai Ren to teleport to the office immediately and work like a horse.
Before the male lead could say anything, Bai Ren stopped him, “My father is right. I recovered well during my stay in Shencheng. Besides not being able to stand up, I’m fine. It won’t affect my work, and there’s indeed a lot to be done in the department. I can’t just sit around doing nothing. Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest easily.”
Bai Yucheng felt saddened when Bai Ren mentioned his legs, but he hesitated to say anything more. He thought maybe work could distract Bai Ren, keep him occupied, and stop him from dwelling on these sad thoughts.
Then, Bai Ren turned to Mo Yi and said gently, “While I’m working outside, you stay at home and wait for me. If you’re bored, play with your tablet and phone, or watch TV, okay?”
Mo Yi was about to nod in agreement when 006 in his mind reminded him, “No! Host, you have to stop him! The villain isn’t just going to work; he’s going to research a virus that could destroy the world. We can’t let him continue.”
Hearing the system’s reminder, Mo Yi suddenly remembered his mission. He had been living too comfortably and had almost forgotten about his task!
When 006 mentioned the world’s destruction before, Mo Yi didn’t take it too seriously. For him, survival was just instinctual, and he didn’t particularly love the world. His days were spent with a somewhat passive and indifferent attitude.
But now, things were different. He didn’t want this world to be destroyed.
Because in this world, there was Bai Ren! He liked Bai Ren and the world where Bai Ren existed. He wanted to continue living happily with him here.
So, he was determined to stop Bai Ren from destroying this world.
However, thinking about Bai Ren’s appearance just now, he couldn’t figure out how to stop him from going to work. After all, going to work was a legitimate reason.
By the time Mo Yi reacted, Bai Ren had already been pushed out of the door by Bai Yucheng in his wheelchair.
Their destinations were the same, so they could go together, but Mo Yi was worried. Not only because of the mission but also because of Bai Yucheng. Even though Mo Yi’s impression of the male lead was good now, they were still in the opposing party. He was afraid that Bai Ren, who could barely walk now, would suffer in ways Mo Yi couldn’t see.
So, when Bai Ren reached the car and was about to get in, he saw Mo Yi rushing out, who should have stayed in the house.
He took three steps and ran two steps to the car, grabbing Bai Ren’s hand on the car door and saying, “I want to go too!”
“I’m going to work, not to play,” Bai Ren chuckled, patting his hand. “It’s boring at work. Wouldn’t it be better for Xiao Mo to stay at home and wait for me?”
Mo Yi shook his head forcefully upon hearing this. “No, I must go.”
After speaking, he felt like his tone was too strong and looked at Bai Ren somewhat pitifully, asking, “Can’t I really go?”
Mo Yi’s face showed some urgency, his round eyes staring tightly at Bai Ren, causing Bai Ren’s heart to waver.
Seeing Bai Yucheng off at the door, Bai Yan’s face showed a sarcastic expression as he poured cold water on Mo Yi’s idea, saying, “Why do you think you can go? What identity do you have in the first place! Do you think Bai’s is a place where any little stray cat can go?”
Mo Yi ignored Bai Yan’s sarcasm. After all, he wasn’t just any little cat; he was a dog.
But this person was too annoying. He decided to go out tonight and catch some mice to throw on his bed. Mo Yi made this decision quietly in his mind.
006 in his mind asked, “The dog catching mice?”
Mo Yi replied, “…shut up!”
Continuing to hold onto the car door without letting go, Mo Yi pleaded even harder, “Please, Bai Ren, let me go with you! I don’t want to be separated from you!”
This time, his words seemed to finally have an effect because as soon as Mo Yi finished speaking, he felt the man opposite him breathing change slightly.
A pleased smile slowly appeared on Bai Ren’s face as he sighed softly, saying helplessly, “I really can’t do anything with you. Why are you so clingy?”
Then, he nodded slightly, indicating for Mo Yi to get in the car.
Bai Yucheng also thought it was fine for Mo Yi to go along. He still remembered the laughter he heard outside the room yesterday. Glancing at Bai Yan, he said, “It’s good to have Mo Yi along. He can also help take care of Bai Ren.”
As he spoke, he proactively opened the passenger door and got in, allowing Mo Yi and Bai Ren to sit in the back.
Now, Bai Yan had no way to voice his objections.
Bai Yan is such a stinking b*tch….
Thank you for the chapter~♡
Really, why is Bai Yan so whiny? Bai Ren has done nothing to him!
i feel like mo yi would be really okay with being treated as a pet considering his original race and how he view himself closer to a wolf/dog than a human
really wish he could have a tail in this world though, he could create a tornado this chapter with how happy he was after bai ren’s kisses…
So cuuuute! Cute!!
I’m so lost, why is his dad his biggest opp😭 nigga u getting paid to hate on ur son or sum?
