Even though he couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, the familiar aura, the trembling of his soul, made Mo Yi certain that this dirty-looking man was indeed his partner.
How did he manage to get himself into such a sorry state again…
Mo Yi felt extremely distressed and walked towards the man.
However, just as he was about to reach the man, his path was blocked by someone.
“Brother Mo Yi, you’re back! I’ve been so worried!”
A woman with a pure and charming appearance blocked Mo Yi’s way.
In this difficult post-apocalyptic world, this woman was dressed in a white dress, with neatly combed hair and delicate makeup, looking completely unrelated to the dilapidated surroundings.
She looked at Mo Yi with concern, with a hint of obvious affection, as if their relationship was quite special.
Feeling obstructed from communicating with his partner, Mo Yi’s mood soured. He furrowed his brow slightly and didn’t respond to the woman’s words.
For some reason, this person made him uncomfortable the moment he saw her. Trusting his instincts, Mo Yi decided not to interact with her for the time being, so he sidestepped her, intending to bypass her directly.
However, the woman reached out her hand, trying to grab Mo Yi’s arm.
Mo Yi subtly dodged, causing the woman to miss. She staggered, but fortunately, there was someone behind her who caught her and helped her steady herself.
“You, you’re just reckless! You heard that Xiao Mo is back and rushed over so hastily, almost falling over.”
The man behind her adjusted his glasses, his face gentle. Although he seemed to be scolding her, he was actually emphasizing the woman’s affection for Mo Yi.
Watching the performance of the man and woman in front of him, combined with the memories he had received from the original owner, Mo Yi knew who they were.
The man wearing glasses was called Huang Fuyue, considered the second-in-command of the Anping Base. Before the apocalypse, his family was involved in business and had some influence.
During the early days of the Anping Base’s establishment, he had provided considerable assistance to the female protagonist, Mo Huaiyu. Later on, he naturally became one of the leaders of the base.
However, this man was ambitious. In the plot, the female protagonist faced many difficulties, some of which were caused by Huang Fuyue.

He appears to be a good person on the surface, but in reality, he has ambitious aspirations. He doesn’t want to settle for being just the second-in-command here; he wants to completely control the base, have everyone obey him, enjoy royal privileges, and even use it as a stepping stone to control more bases and resources.

Taking advantage of this, Huang Fuyue subtly influenced the original owner with ideas that suited his own agenda. He advocated for the idea that the strong should get more resources, and in the post-apocalyptic world, one should indulge themselves and not sacrifice for ordinary people.
His ultimate goal was to create discord between the original owner and Mo Huaiyu, preferably causing the original owner to make mistakes within the base. As the brother of the female protagonist, any mistakes made by the original owner would reflect on Mo Huaiyu.
Knowing how much Mo Huaiyu cared about her brother, Huang Fuyue even had his own people planted around the original owner. When necessary, he would discreetly eliminate him during missions.
However, halfway through Huang Fuyue’s plans, he was unaware that the person in front of him had already changed.
As for the woman beside him, her name was Huang Fuman, Huang Fuyue’s younger sister. In Mo Yi’s view, she was an inconspicuous minor character in the plot, hardly mentioned at all.
However, she left a strong impression in the original owner’s memories because she always appeared before him, showing signs of affection towards him.
Huang Fuman had a good appearance, was pure and beautiful, and had the connection of being Huang Fuyue’s sister. With such a girl showing interest in him, the original owner, a young man full of youthful energy and inexperienced in relationships, couldn’t help but feel a bit ecstatic.
So, although the original owner hadn’t fallen for her yet, his attitude towards Huang Fuman was very favorable, and he even considered whether or not to pursue a relationship with her.
After all, it’s not easy to find a desirable partner in the apocalypse.
However, unlike the original owner, Mo Yi already has the best lover in this world. He knows what real affection looks like, so naturally, he can see the deep disdain and calculation hidden in the woman’s eyes when she looks at him.
So, does this Huang Fuman not like the original owner at all?
“Host, there’s something off about this woman!” came 006’s voice from the sea of conscious.
Seeing the little dog’s back tense up into a straight line, Mo Yi also took a step back, adding another layer of vigilance towards this sibling pair.
“Host, the worlds we visit are all distorted worlds, but due to recent special circumstances, sometimes the system may not detect the source of the problems and loopholes in the small world clearly.
But when Huang Fuman approached just now, the data on my side showed abnormalities all along. There must be something wrong with this person!”
Listening to the system’s words, Mo Yi also agreed. He had just felt uncomfortable and out of place. However, he was unclear where the problem lay.
It was due to his experience of traversal, rebirth, the presence of illegal system, or perhaps, like the previous world, being controlled by something foreign.
But without being able to pinpoint the actual problem, Mo Yi didn’t intend to waste time. Right now, nothing was more important than his own partner.
The siblings stopped their chatter when they realized Mo Yi completely ignored them.
Huang Fuman pouted unhappily, coquettishly saying to Mo Yi, “Brother Mo Yi, why are you ignoring me!”
Hearing her sweet voice, Mo Yi’s eyelids twitched, especially when his lover, who was sunbathing on a nearby boulder, had turned to look at them with some curiosity. It made Mo Yi impatient to disassociate himself from this woman.
Even though he and his partner didn’t have much interaction yet, Mo Yi, who knew his lover’s character very well, knew that some matters could be brought up again later!
So, Mo Yi, with a serious expression, bluntly said to Huang Fuman, “Stop it, I really can’t stand being called ‘brother’ by you. I remember you’re several years older than my sister. How about you choose a different title?
But if you insist on calling me brother, then fine. From now on, to show respect, I’ll call you Auntie Manman.
This way, you can call me brother, and I’ll call you auntie, and we’ll each mind our own business.”
Each minding their own business!
“Pfft.”
The people behind Mo Yi couldn’t help but laugh at his words.
Especially Old Luo, who laughed the most exaggeratedly. He never liked this Huang Fuman, always with the attitude that every man liked her and should cater to her, which he found less cute than Xiao Yingzi.
He already said their captain’s taste wasn’t that bad!
Number 0, sitting on the boulder, listened to their words, feeling somewhat bewildered. Although he had acquired a lot of human knowledge and language, he still didn’t quite understand their jokes.
A fleeting emerald light flashed in his eyes, and his gaze was firmly drawn to Mo Yi.
Somehow, this person felt different to him. Although Number 0 was very curious, he didn’t actively show interest in most things.
Even when it came to consuming food, he chose the simplest way.
Hunting was even more troublesome for him. Most of the time, he preferred to bask quietly in the sun, engage in photosynthesis, or quietly extend some tendrils to absorb nutrients from the soil.
But now, he felt a certain desire for this short-haired, round-eyed young man for the first time, a desire that was like hunger yet not quite hunger. Number 0 couldn’t explain it clearly.
But his current feeling was clear: he wanted to capture this person!
On the other hand, Huang Fuman’s face darkened instantly because of Mo Yi’s words.
Ever since she obtained that treasure, everything had been smooth sailing for her. Plus, with her brother being a prominent figure in the base, no one had ever treated her like this before.
What was going on with Mo Yi today? How could he treat her like this? Could it be that someone said something to him!
The more Huang Fuman thought about it, the more she felt it must be the case. This person had always been gentle with her, clearly about to be won over by her, so who dared to ruin her plans!
Suppressing her dissatisfaction, Huang Fuman wanted to say something, but Mo Yi didn’t want to waste any more time on this sibling pair.
He walked past Huang Fuman and approached Number 0, slowing his tone as he asked, “Are you okay?”
Mo Yi suddenly thought to himself, then turned to the guards at the entrance and asked, “What’s the situation with this person?”
As the captain of the guard, it was reasonable to ask such questions, and from the memories of the original owner, there wasn’t much impression of his own partner.
However, whether it was because his partner hadn’t arrived at the base yet or was overlooked by the original owner remained unknown.
The guard, upon hearing Mo Yi’s question, immediately walked over and explained, “Captain Mo, this person arrived the day before yesterday. He’s a bit simple-minded. We assigned him tent duty, but he refused to do it and just wandered around the base. We don’t know how he managed to find his way here.”
The guard sighed as he spoke.
You’re the one who’s simple-minded! Mo Yi wanted to retort, but he looked down and saw Number 0 staring at him, with an innocent look in his eyes, so he swallowed the words he wanted to say.
His partner was definitely the smartest, definitely not a simpleton.
The people around them found it strange why he suddenly took an interest in a dirty simpleton.
Ignoring the curious glances from those around him, Mo Yi reached out his hand toward the motionless man still sitting on the rock.
Number 0 lowered his head, staring at the hand in front of him for a long time without making a move.
Mo Yi, patient as ever, looked at his partner with anticipation, hoping he would take the initiative to shake hands.
Just when everyone thought the man probably couldn’t understand and wouldn’t respond to Mo Yi, he slowly raised his hand and placed it in Mo Yi’s palm.
“Very good.” Mo Yi smiled and tightened his grip on the man’s hand.
“I’ll take this person with me.”
With that simple instruction, Mo Yi took the man’s hand and walked towards his residence.
Old Bai is so innocent in this one. Is he going to blacken by himself again?
Definetely! It’s his second favorīte thing to do~
