666 felt like he understood now. No wonder Number 0 warned him not to attack this place. Living here was really good!
But even if he envied them, it was useless. 666 continued to struggle with the food in his plate, but after failing to pick up the food twice, he felt like giving up.
Anyway, he didn’t really need to rely on this food to survive; he just wanted to be like the humans around him.
Just as he was about to give up on eating, someone picked up a piece of meat with their chopsticks and placed it in his plate.
Looking up, he saw Mo Huaiyu smiling gently at him, then speaking quietly to someone nearby.
Soon after, a bowl and a spoon were brought over, already filled with various dishes.
Mo Huaiyu handed it to 666 and said, “Sorry, I didn’t pay attention to your difficulty with using chopsticks. It should be easier with a spoon. If the food is not enough, I’ll help you get more.”
Mo Huaiyu only thought that 666 was an injured person with some background, and his burns caused inconvenience.
After saying that, she didn’t stare at him anymore, but turned to talk to other people.
Taking care of someone also required moderation; excessive enthusiasm might make people uncomfortable.
And 666 just stared blankly at the bowl filled with various dishes in front of him. Even though the dishes were mixed together, no one would mind with the present situation.
Hesitantly, 666 picked up the spoon and scooped up some food.
He opened a small gap in his mask and brought the spoonful of food to his mouth.
The savory and tender potatoes, the cabbage soaked in soup, the crunchy radish, and a piece of flavorful ham.
Delicious!
Really, it was so delicious!
Unlike Bai Ren, 666 had hardly ever tried human food. He had always obtained nutrients in a plant-like manner.
As for the dispersal of spores, it had stopped since 666 gained self-awareness.
He couldn’t forget the first time he saw the world clearly, as if he had finally opened his eyes. He was still instinctively dispersing spores.
Then, he watched in horror as several people, screaming in fear, turned into monstrous creatures before his eyes.
Even though it was a form of parasitism, a form of assimilation, it would make the other person submit to him.
But somehow, scenes like that left a shadow in 666’s heart.

He had even helped some humans, but most of them would flee in terror.
It wasn’t until he encountered the people from Dahe Base that, although they discovered he wasn’t hostile and showed friendliness towards him, no one had ever given him something to eat.
They just gave him some clothes or kept talking to him, telling him how good they were, how much they could help him, and so on.
This was his first time truly enjoying a proper meal, and the impact on his taste buds was astonishing.
Unconsciously, he hastened his pace, quickly feeding himself the food from the bowl.
With his taste buds satisfied, even his mood felt uplifted.
Unfortunately, the food in the bowl quickly ran out.
Just as 666 was nervous about having to struggle again to pick food from the plate, Mo Huaiyu, who was beside him, had somehow prepared a new bowl and placed it within his reach.
Then she smiled gently, without saying anything else.
Even so, 666 still felt a warmth he had never experienced before.
This person, whom he had encountered for the first time last night, gave him a special feeling, prompting him to follow her footsteps and observe her for a long time. Now that he had truly interacted with her, he felt even more impressed.
Perhaps, she was the best human he had ever encountered!
Mo Huaiyu was unaware that her act of serving him a bowl of food had gave her an image of a saint.
After satisfying their hunger and thirst, the people from Dahe Base went to their assigned accommodations to rest, and everyone could go about their own business.
The happiest person to hear they could leave was Bai Ren.
Just as he had just indulged in last night and was planning to spend some quality time with his beloved after waking up, Mo Yi was called here. Now, they could finally return to their sweet moments together.
Unfortunately, while Bai Ren was happily making plans, Mo Yi was preoccupied with something else.
He couldn’t possibly leave 666 here; he wouldn’t be at ease.
So, after everyone dispersed, Mo Yi secretly sneaked back to keep an eye on 666, to prevent any suspicious actions.
And when Bai Ren saw that Mo Yi wasn’t leaving, he had no choice but to follow suit. When he realized that Mo Yi was staring at the room where 666 was, he felt even more displeased.
Normally, Mo Yi always focused his attention solely on him, Bai Ren. When had he ever been so fixated on someone else, ignoring even himself?
Could it be that in Mo Yi’s eyes, this 666 was more attractive than him?
“Mo Yi, how much longer do we have to watch?” Bai Ren hid the darkness in his eyes and whispered softly to Mo Yi.
“It might take a little longer,” Mo Yi replied softly, still not turning around, as he remained concealed in the shadows beside Bai Ren.
Then he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Bai Ren, “By the way, Bai Ren, do you have any impression of that strangely wrapped-up man? I mean, do you feel like you’ve seen him before?”
Suddenly realizing that both his partner and 666 came from the research institute, Mo Yi thought they might recognize each other.
Bai Ren pursed his lips at the question, taking a moment before replying, “I recognize him. He’s the same guy I saw last night.”
“What? You saw him last night?”
Mo Yi remembered that he had been intimate with his partner for most of the night yesterday, but he had fallen asleep at some point and then been awakened later.
During that time before he fell asleep, he had been unaware. Could it be that during that time, his partner had gone out to meet someone else without him knowing?
“How did you guys meet? Why didn’t you tell me?” Mo Yi wasn’t angry; he was just curious about the reasons behind it and hoped his lover could explain.
“It’s probably because of our similar senses. I could feel his presence, so I wanted to go meet him.” Hearing Mo Yi’s question, Bai Ren lowered his eyelids and spoke softly, “As for not telling you, I just… Mo Yi, I was afraid…”
“Afraid? What are you afraid of?” Mo Yi instantly became nervous when he heard his partner mention afraid.
Why would he be afraid? Was it because 666 bully Bai Ren?
At the thought of this, Mo Yi’s fists clenched. He wouldn’t let anyone who harmed his partner get away with it.
But then, he heard Bai Ren continue, “You told me you like me the most, because I’m special. But, 666, he’s also special!”
As he said this, Bai Ren lifted his head and looked straight into Mo Yi’s eyes, filled with a sense of grievance.
“Huh?” Mo Yi was momentarily stunned by his partner’s accusatory tone, then quickly realized that he had indeed said something like that.
Once, when the team gathered to chat, most of them were cursing the monsters outside and complaining about their current lives, which was a common occurrence.
Mo Yi was used to it and didn’t think much of it.
But that day, when they returned, Bai Ren suddenly asked him if he was also a monster.
Seeing his partner’s pitiful look, Mo Yi’s heart ached.
How could his partner possibly be a monster! Of course not!
So, Mo Yi denied Bai Ren’s words, saying that those monsters only acted on instinct, without any thoughts, unlike him. And he also praised his partner, saying that Bai Ren was the most special, the most skilled, and that he liked him the most!
At that time, his partner was indeed overjoyed, nearly suffocating him with kisses.
Little did Mo Yi know, there will be a big problem waiting ahead.
“How can he be the same!”
Mo Yi quickly waved his hand and shook his head at Bai Ren. “You and him are different! When I say ‘special,’ I mean my feelings for you. Regardless of who you are or what species, I like you the most!”
“What I meant by ‘special’ is that you’re special because you’re you. But if it wasn’t you, no matter what, I wouldn’t like them.”
“Me, you… can you understand what I mean?” Mo Yi explained, feeling a bit frustrated with his own clumsy tongue. If their roles were reversed, his partner would surely be able to explain it clearly.
But in response, the man tightly embraced him and showered him with affectionate kisses.
Bai Ren loved Mo Yi’s response so much. In this person’s heart, he was special, whether he had his current abilities or was just an ordinary person.
He said that no matter how he changed, he would still love him.
How could someone be so sweet, so warm!
Everything he had experienced before was all for the sake of meeting this person, he thought.
Mo Yi must be the compensation given to him by heaven, to make up for all the suffering he had endured.
This person gave him a place to belong, gave him everything wonderful he could imagine, and taught him what happiness and love were!
Holding Mo Yi’s head, Bai Ren kissed him uncontrollably, wishing they could relive the good times from last night.
But even when indulging his partner, he had to consider the occasion. Mo Yi, although not truly human, was aware that even in this somewhat secluded place, public displays like this were not acceptable.
So, he quickly pressed down on his partner’s shoulder and shook his head.
Although Bai Ren was a bit dissatisfied, he obediently complied.
Mo Yi watched as his partner still stared at him intently, and he let out a gentle sigh.
Bai Ren loved him too much, and this was truly a sweet dilemma!
Seeing Bai Ren’s current state, he felt like he understood where he was coming from.
To prevent his beloved from worrying, Mo Yi chose to carefully explain to him, “The reason I’m keeping an eye on things is mainly because I’m worried that 666 might do something harmful to the base.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ren became even happier and patted his chest, reassuringly saying, “Don’t worry, he won’t do anything. I already warned him last night!”
Mo Yi: !!!
Bai Ren: Providing peace of mind is my specialty.
I like how sweet they are, there is never any dog blood between the pairing, even when misunderstandings occur. Truly a rarity in Chinese novels.
Thank you for the chapter.
Thank you so very much for the chapter!!~♥️
