Mo Yi, satisfied with maintaining his familiar demeanor, used his T-shirt to wipe off the water stains on his face before continuing to deal with the towel.
Having lived in a world similar to Xia country in his past life, but without modern facilities, he wasn’t familiar with faucets and ceramic sinks. Anxious and unfamiliar, he ended up causing a mess in the sink, pulling a dripping towel with him as he left.
Anxious 006 reminded him to wring the towel dry; it shouldn’t be too wet. After another attempt, he returned to the room, carefully avoiding the wound, and proceeded to wipe the man’s face and body.
Despite his efforts to be gentle, the other’s skin turned slightly red, leaving Mo Yi flustered.
Finally, he clumsily folded the cold towel into an uneven shape and placed it on the man’s forehead.
Having never done such a thing before, Mo Yi found himself sweating more than in a battle. Wiping his face with his sleeve, he felt it was worthwhile as he saw some improvement in Bai Ren’s complexion.
“Host, apart from the leg, all injuries are superficial. Medication has been administered, and the fever has subsided. He’ll wake up soon. The antagonist is formidable; we’ll wait for him to regain consciousness, and he’ll handle the situation. As long as he goes to Jincheng and finds a reliable doctor, he will be able to heal his leg.”
“Why hasn’t he woken up yet?” Mo Yi, looking at Bai Ren’s face, asked with concern.
“In theory, he should have awakened,” 006 reassured, scanning Bai Ren’s condition. However, a bit more slumber might be needed.
“Host, rest assured. Everything will be fine. You’re exhausted; take a break. I’ll call you when he wakes up!” advised 006, observing Mo Yi’s constant efforts.
“Okay.” Relieved that Bai Ren was okay, Mo Yi sighed.
Feeling exhausted, he noticed the spacious bed, removed his outer clothes, and laid down next to Bai Ren, pulling the covers over himself.
The soft and comfortable sensation captivated him, and before long, Mo Yi uncontrollably sank into a deep and sweet sleep.
Unbeknownst to Mo Yi, not long after he fell asleep, the man beside him slowly opened his eyes.
Bai Ren silently turned his head, watching Mo Yi’s peaceful sleeping face in silence.
He remembered everything that had happened, how he stumbled and fell under a bridge.
The agonizing pain in his legs persisted, yet there was no change in the man’s expression.
Being targeted wasn’t unexpected for him, especially during his early days in Y country when he offended certain interests. It was natural to become a thorn in their eyes.
Back then, there were more people wanting him dead, but he managed to avoid most attacks. However, luck was never on his side, and some things couldn’t be avoided.
Over the years, he had encountered numerous troubles, but this time, he wasn’t sure if his legs would be irreparably damaged.

The only unexpected part of the whole ordeal was the sudden appearance of the boy beside him.
His mind had been on edge, sensing someone approaching under the bridge. He thought it might be someone else coming to deal with him. But when he opened his eyes, he saw a seemingly emaciated teenager.
The person’s face and hair were dirty, and their clothing was mismatched—a likely street urchin.
However, inexplicably, Bai Ren felt that the boy wouldn’t harm him. Only after sensing no threat did he uncontrollably lose consciousness.
During the subsequent time, he was intermittently conscious. So, he knew how the boy carried him away and took care of him in the hotel.
He didn’t quite understand why this person would save him. If it were him, he would never willingly pick up such a big trouble.
Moreover, the subsequent developments were truly strange, making him realize Mo Yi was extraordinary.
A seemingly thin boy, despite being tall and surprisingly strong, effortlessly carried him all the way. It seemed effortless, and he didn’t even seem to breathe heavily.
The boy clearly looked like a beggar, so how could he have money to have them accommodated by the hotel owner?
He had just heard their conversation clearly, and while the money might not mean much to Bai Ren, for a homeless wanderer, it should be a substantial sum. Yet, Mo Yi appeared unconcerned.
His gaze earnestly swept across Mo Yi’s face. Even with closed eyes in deep sleep, the boy’s handsome features were evident.
The teenage boy exuded a youthful vitality, though he seemed to lack much flesh on his body, there was still a hint of baby fat on his face.
Thick eyebrows, large eyes, a high nose bridge – one could imagine that in a few more years, he would grow into a very handsome young man.
But his mouth was small and delicate, with plump lips adorned with a slight pout. Slightly parted, one could catch a glimpse of a red tongue and cute canine teeth, indicating a peaceful slumber.
The boy took care of him meticulously, even though he seemed clumsy during cleaning, it showed a genuine effort. However, when it came to himself, he wondered why the boy didn’t bother tidying up a bit.
This dirtiness was only acceptable because of his small face.
Clearly, there were many mysteries surrounding the boy sleeping beside him.
In the eyes of others, the sudden appearance of someone with many contradictions might be seen as a threat, warranting increased vigilance. Yet, Bai Ren only feels excitement.
He cares little about life and death, let alone another peculiar person.
He even thinks that perhaps the heavens found his days too dull and sent him a little something to spice things up.
With a soft exhale, the man licked his lips, his facial expression turning grim due to the pain in his legs, yet his eyes revealed a morbid excitement.
But he’s ultimately too weak; soon, he closed his eyes again.
Being an injured patient, he should rest well when tired…
The two of them peacefully lay together, sleeping soundly. It wasn’t until the next day, with the sun high in the sky, that Mo Yi was awakened by the sunlight streaming through the window onto his face.
Mo Yi yawned and lazily stretched, lying comfortably.
He hadn’t slept this soundly, this well, in a long time.
Opening his eyes, he saw the rose-shaped ceiling lamp above and only then realized what had happened yesterday.
He had intended to take a short nap, how did he end up sleeping for so long?
He quickly turned his head to check on the person beside him and found that the man was already awake, looking at him with a tilted head and blinking.
“You’re awake!”
Seeing this, Mo Yi sat up abruptly, staring wide-eyed at Bai Ren.
“Yeah.” Bai Ren nodded, smiling at him. “I woke up. Thank you for saving me. I’m Bai Ren.”
“I know, I know!” Mo Yi said excitedly.
Great, this person finally woke up, and he seems to be in good condition.
However, while Mo Yi was thrilled, the consciousness of 006 in his sea of consciousness could only sigh and cover its face with a paw, unable to bear watching.
Sure enough, the next moment, the man across from him raised an eyebrow and said, “Oh? You know who I am?”
Although it was a question, Bai Ren used an affirmative tone.
However, it was evident that Mo Yi didn’t realize anything was amiss.
In his past life, despite living for many years and initially concealing his ears and tail, he had interacted with humans and gained some insights into human relationships. However, due to his unfortunate luck, he was quickly exposed. He hadn’t lived as a human for long enough to fully understand all aspects of human life.
He could communicate smoothly with people and sensitively perceive the emotions of those around him, but the intricacies of human interactions were still not entirely clear to him.
So, when he heard Bai Ren’s question, Mo Yi nodded as if it were a matter of course, saying, “Yes, I know you’re Bai Ren.”
Then, full of anticipation, he asked the man, “Do you remember me?”
Apart from his genuine concern for the man’s well-being, another reason he was eager for him to wake up was to confirm whether the memory fragments flashing in his mind were real.
However, if Mo Yi had a better understanding of common knowledge, he would have noticed that the man in the memory wore wide-sleeved robes and had long hair, which did not belong to the current era.
His words left Bai Ren momentarily puzzled. Seeing the boy’s attitude, could it be that he knew him, which led to him being saved?
However, after searching through all his memories, he still couldn’t recall who this person was.
A distinctive boy like him, he would surely remember.
With a furrowed brow, Bai Ren thought for a while before shaking his head at Mo Yi, “Sorry, have we met before?”
Faced with this response, Mo Yi couldn’t hide his disappointment.
He silently pursed his lips, and even though he had mentally prepared for this, he couldn’t prevent a sense of despondency.
In his sea of consciousness, 006 perked up and hastily asked, “Host, host, have you remembered? Have you remembered the mission target… and me?”
“What did you say? Are you implying that we’ve known each other for a long time?” Mo Yi snapped out of his disappointment, sensing that the system might know something.
Seeing Mo Yi’s reaction, 006 couldn’t quite determine how much he had remembered, but it seemed to be not much, or else he wouldn’t have ignored him for so long.
The system recalled certain instructions from someone and couldn’t reveal too much. It carefully explained, “Host, we didn’t just bind in this world. Due to some issues, I fell into a deep sleep right after binding with you, only awakening when we arrived in this world.”
“It is like this, our target for conquest has always been the same soul. So, you may have already encountered the mission target. However, due to my slumber, you couldn’t retain memories in the small worlds we traversed in the past.”
“Now that I’ve awakened, some of your past memories are also awakening, though not entirely complete.”
Oh~ so that’s how it is.
Thank you for the chapter!
Aww so only he wil remember bai ren each time in every different world? Hopefully bai ren can gradually remember him too
Thanks for the chapters. I’m really liking this one!!
Am I the only one concerned about his leg??
Won’t be become crippled if they don’t see a doctor. Why are they chitchatting?
Now that ml is awake they should quickly contact a trusted doc
Or can the plot Armor save the ml or is the ml disabled in this arc?
I can’t help but notice these things and think about them without focusing on what’s happening. For an example mc didn’t shower and then lay under covers with body full of dirt. Doesn’t he smell bad? It kept bothering me for some reason. It’s like laying in bed with your shoes on. Unacceptable! 🥹
Then the legs. I couldn’t help but imagine the antagonist laying in bed with his legs bent in the wrong direction the whole time, calmly chattering. Now reading the comments made me think this scene is kinda funny 😭
They’re really taking their sweet time 😭 how about finding a doctor?!
Ohhh! That’s how he was so unlucky before!
