Upon hearing Mo Yi’s words, Bai Min was momentarily taken aback. He had never encountered someone so unreasonable before. Even though Mo Yi had offended him, Bai Min found himself not even considering retaliating.
Taking a step forward, Bai Min briefly felt the urge to respond in kind to Mo Yi’s advances. However, he quickly regained his composure and stopped himself. It was strange – despite being overwhelmed by anger, he found himself regaining his rationality the moment he saw Mo Yi.
There was something magical about Mo Yi that made Bai Min feel as though he was still alive. Or perhaps it was because of Mo Yi’s attitude towards him, as if he were not a ghost at all.
Even when Bai Min had initially tried to intimidate him, Mo Yi had shown no fear, displaying an astonishing level of courage despite his apparent age.
However, Bai Min couldn’t allow Mo Yi to continue teasing him like this. Suppressing his discomfort, Bai Min furrowed his brow and said to Mo Yi, “We are both men. It’s inappropriate for you to say such things.”
“Huh?” Mo Yi hadn’t expected this response.
“What’s wrong with both of us being men?” Mo Yi blinked, not fully understanding the norms of this ancient era.
But faced with Bai Min’s obvious discomfort, he gestured towards the tablet nearby and said, “That’s strange coming from you. After all, you’ve seen so much information online. Don’t you know that same-sex marriage has been legal for many years now?”
“Same-sex marriage?”
Bai Min’s expression was rare, but he understood Mo Yi’s general meaning. In this era, it wasn’t unusual for two men to be together?
Mo Yi then proceeded to show Bai Min some TV shows and movies to further illustrate his point.
“Look, the main characters in this comedy are a married couple, portraying their life in old age. And this movie is a love story between two girls.
Oh, and there’s the latest reality dating show online, which is not limited by sexual orientation. It features both same-sex and heterosexual couples.
Love is inherently a personal matter, regardless of whether it’s between people of the same gender or different genders. What does it matter as long as it’s genuine?”
Seeing these TV shows and reality shows, Bai Min was already quite surprised. But hearing Mo Yi’s words made him realize that the world had changed much more than he had imagined.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable under Mo Yi’s gaze, which seemed to scrutinize him like an antique, even though he was indeed from several hundred years ago, Bai Min couldn’t help but wonder about the implications behind Mo Yi’s seemingly ambiguous words.

Regardless of how Bai Ren had changed, Mo Yi found himself still fond of him.
Bai Min had taken the information finely, though with some shock. Perhaps it was time to take the next steps.
With that thought in mind, Mo Yi approached Bai Min, who seemed lost in thought, and without hesitation, leaned in and kissed him on the lips.
The intense warmth, the magnified handsome face.
Bai Min widened his eyes, feeling the impact of the kiss too strong for him to handle. He had been pondering whether Mo Yi’s words earlier were just a joke or held some truth, but now, Mo Yi had kissed him directly on the lips, his cheeks flushed.
Bai Min could even see the individual strands of Mo Yi’s thick eyelashes and smell the scent emanating from him. It was a warm, milky fragrance reminiscent of a young animal, reminding him of a small black puppy he had once raised. Soft, warm, and smelling of that same scent.
Even though their lips touched briefly, Bai Min felt as though his long-stilled heart was about to start beating vigorously once again.
For Mo Yi, this kiss was undoubtedly a beautiful moment as well. The familiarity of his partner’s breath, akin to their past encounters, brought comfort. Although Bai Min’s skin felt slightly cool, like touching a small refrigerator, Mo Yi found it refreshing, akin to savoring ice cream, both delightful on the lips and satisfying to the heart.
But just as Mo Yi wanted to take things further, reaching out his arms to embrace his partner, Bai Min suddenly disappeared before his eyes.
Mo Yi staggered forward, finding himself embracing thin air.
Furrowing his brows, he surveyed the empty living room until his gaze landed on the urn containing Bai Min’s ashes, exuding strong energy. It seemed that his partner had returned “home.”
“How shy of you!” Mo Yi chuckled to himself, deliberately walking up to the urn and staring at it for a while before gradually backing away.
He refused to believe that Bai Min could hide inside forever.
Mo Yi stood up straight, his expression unusually serious as he addressed the empty room, “I’ll give you some time to think about it. I truly believe that we are a perfect match.”
With that, he turned and headed back to the bedroom.
It was getting late, and he felt tired. It was best to get some rest as soon as possible.
In no time, Mo Yi drifted off to sleep.
Mo Yi slept soundly. On the other hand, Bai Min couldn’t find peace of mind to sleep as usual.
Ghosts didn’t need actual sleep, but they could meditate with closed eyes or enter a short period of tranquility. For the past few nights when Mo Yi was asleep, Bai Min would return to his spirit position and remain there without wandering around.
However, this time, he couldn’t settle down no matter what.
Blame it on that kid who had the nerve to say he will give time to consider.
Bai Min, despite being a centuries-old ghost, didn’t have much experience. He couldn’t understand where the confidence of someone who, apart from seeing him, seemed to be just an ordinary human without even knowing basic spells, came from.
As a result, while he tossed and turned, the other side slept peacefully in another room.
Bai Min was annoyed. Before his death, he was just a young man barely twenty years old, lacking deep cunning.
Deciding to confront Mo Yi and question his intentions, Bai Min emerged from the urn once again and went to Mo Yi’s room.
To his surprise, Mo Yi was sleeping in a carefree manner. He lay on the bed in a sprawled position, the sheets kicked aside, his face flushed as he softly snored. It seemed he was enjoying a deep slumber.
Fortunately, Mo Yi was wearing a black tank top this time, allowing Bai Min to finally gaze upon him directly.
Feeling annoyed and wanting to wake Mo Yi up, Bai Min hesitated when his hand reached Mo Yi’s shoulder. He couldn’t bring himself to disturb him, seeing how peacefully he slept.
Staring at Mo Yi’s sleeping face, Bai Min noticed his thick eyebrows, prominent nose, and rosy lips. He realized that Mo Yi’s appearance was indeed outstanding, with each feature individually attractive and perfectly harmonized when combined.
Mo Yi had a great physique as well—tall, slim, and well-muscled, like a sleek cheetah ready to pounce. His whole body exuded a clean and sunny air.
No wonder he became a celebrity based on his looks and garnered so much admiration from people.
Bai Min also followed Mo Yi’s work account on social media, so he understood Mo Yi’s profession.
However, the thought of countless men and women expressing affection for Mo Yi in the comments, calling him “brother,” or even “husband,” made Bai Min uncomfortable.
“Mischievous, even seducing those you haven’t met in person,” he muttered under his breath, feeling a pang of jealousy.
Just then, as Mo Yi slept, he smacked his lips, revealing sharp canines and a bright red tongue, which oddly warmed Bai Min’s heart.
Bai Min attempted to retract his hand from Mo Yi’s shoulder, but Mo Yi seemed to relish the cool touch and subconsciously grabbed Bai Min’s wrist. With a sudden pull, he brought Bai Min onto the bed and climbed on top of him like a playful bear.
Feeling Mo Yi’s embrace, Bai Min’s body stiffened. He wondered whether it was good or bad to have a tangible form that could be touched like this, considering his current level of spiritual attainment.
He only knew that his mind was struggling to process the situation. Anyone else would have been easily thrown off by him. Even when he was trapped in the desolate mountains before, the overwhelming aura of terror surrounding him kept the local spirits and monsters at bay.
But now, facing Mo Yi, he felt utterly helpless.
With Mo Yi’s presence enveloping him, Mo Yi slept even more deeply, seemingly enjoying pleasant dreams as he chuckled softly, leaving Bai Min at a loss.
However, suddenly, the young man holding him in his arms lifted his head and pouted, murmuring, “Bai Min, kiss, want a kiss.”
Hearing this, Bai Min felt his mind go numb again for a moment, and he sternly asked, trying to hold back a smile, “Mo Yi, are you really asleep? Are you teasing me?”
But even after staring at Mo Yi for a while, all he saw was Mo Yi still puckering his lips, looking like he was still lost in a dream.
So, was he really asleep?
Then what on earth was this guy dreaming about?
No matter what he thought in his mind, Bai Min couldn’t deny that he felt somewhat pleased when Mo Yi dreamt of him.
The rosy lips tantalizingly close to him were challenging his nerves at every moment.
Finally, casting aside all hesitations, Bai Min couldn’t resist any longer. He lowered his head and kissed Mo Yi’s lips with determination.
It’s you who tempted me!
Bai Min silently said in his mind as a rush of satisfaction and excitement surged through him, reaching its peak at this moment.
Bai Ren is always blaming the victim
I bet Mo Yi did that one purpose 💀💀
I’m contemplating on Mo Yi really being asleep or not🤔 like if it was a dream about the octopus wouldn’t he say Bai Ren, since that is his real name instead of the new name? Or Mo Yi is really good at hypnotizing himself to only use his beloved new name lol
Thank you for the update!!~♥️
Perv ghost! Kkkkkkk
