In the empty street corner, the two figures stood closely together under the street lamp.
This was the first kiss Mo Yi had with his partner in this world, and it filled him with joy and a sense of intoxication that he couldn’t resist.
His ears couldn’t help but turn red.
When Bai Cheng noticed, he became even more excited. He reached out to rub Mo Yi’s ears while holding him tightly, wishing they could meld into one.
After a long time, when Mo Yi was almost out of breath, Bai Cheng finally lifted his head and let him go.
Letting out a satisfied sigh, Bai Cheng’s mood had been quite low before, but the kiss just now relaxed him completely. Even his emotions seemed to stabilize.
Lowering his eyelids, he saw Mo Yi’s lips, swollen from the kisses. He couldn’t resist kissing them again before resting his head on Mo Yi’s neck and whispering softly, “Mo Yi, Xiao Mo, Yiyi, I really like you.”
Hearing his partner call him by different names, Mo Yi felt warm inside, and he responded excitedly, “I like you too! I really, really like you!”
Bai Cheng’s mouth curved into a smile at Mo Yi’s straightforward response, showing a genuine expression of happiness.
He really was like an open book, Bai Cheng thought to himself. What was he even thinking just now? After being rejected for a kiss, he had some dark suspicions that Mo Yi might have been intentionally playing with him.
“Let’s be together, be my boyfriend, okay?” Bai Cheng could now say this calmly and sincerely.
Mo Yi immediately nodded in agreement, couldn’t agree more.
They should have been together from the start!
With their relationship confirmed once again, Mo Yi felt great. But now it was quite late, and they should probably head home.
Bai Cheng also thought so, so he went back to the convenience store and bought Mo Yi a cup of hot milk tea. They sat on the bar stools by the window, treating all the snacks they bought as a late-night snack before finally leaving.
At this time, it wasn’t easy to hail a taxi, so they decided to walk back home since it wasn’t far from the Bai’s residence.
Along the way, Bai Cheng held Mo Yi’s hand.
Every time he turned his head, he could see his little dog smiling foolishly Bai Cheng couldn’t help but reach out and flick Mo Yi’s nose.
“You must have known already,” Bai Cheng suddenly said.
Mo Yi paused, surprised. “Known what?”

Did his partner think he was intentionally hiding something from him?
Seeing Mo Yi’s reaction, Bai Cheng could guess what was going on in his mind. He smiled and said, “I knew you knew already. How did you find out? Did you accidentally see them together before? Did you know they would come here today?”
“Uh… Yeah,” Mo Yi mumbled vaguely. He didn’t know how to explain to Bai Cheng, so he curiously asked, “How did you know?”
Bai Cheng thought Mo Yi had admitted it. As for how he had noticed something even he hadn’t realized, there were always many coincidences in the world.
Hearing Mo Yi’s question, Bai Cheng sighed with emotion and said, “Your acting skills are just too poor!”
Seeing Bai Liang and the others with his exaggerated expressions and feigned surprise, anyone would notice that something was off.
Back then, his mood was terrible, so he didn’t think much about it. But now, he could talk about it.
Sure enough, Mo Yi can’t hide anything from his partner!
It wasn’t Mo Yi’s fault either; Bai Cheng was just too clever.
Mo Yi silently forgave himself for his poor acting skills and kindly offered the milk tea he was holding to Bai Cheng’s lips.
Seeing Bai Cheng smile and take a sip happily, Mo Yi’s eyes immediately lit up.
Hehe, looks like he’s not angry!
However, as they approached the Bai’s residence, Bai Cheng received a phone call, and Mo Yi could sense a hint of coldness in his partner’s expression. When he looked at what Bai Cheng had received, his whole demeanor turned dark again.
Mo Yi had just thought about saying something to lighten the mood when he noticed the gate not far away being opened, with dim light seeping out from within.
Taking a few steps forward, Mo Yi recognized the figure standing at the doorway—it was Bai Cheng’s older brother, Jin Hanrong.
“Brother,” Bai Cheng spoke first, addressing him without asking why he was up so late and not asleep yet.
Jin Hanrong didn’t say anything, his expression dark as he stared at Bai Cheng and Mo Yi holding hands.
He had previously mentioned pursuing someone, and now they were already together?
Fine, even if they were together, why weren’t they home yet at this late hour? And why weren’t they answering his calls? Jin Hanrong’s mind began to conjure up various scenarios.
Bai Cheng could almost guess what his brother was thinking, but he was completely off track. Bai Cheng did have something to discuss with him, so he whispered to Mo Yi beside him, “Xiao Mo, could you go back to your room first? I need to talk to my brother.”
Mo Yi nodded in response and obediently left.
Jin Hanrong was somewhat surprised that Bai Cheng wanted to stay and talk to him, but he led him to his room nonetheless.
After closing the door, Bai Cheng took out his phone, did something on it, and then spoke up, “Brother, take a look at your email. I’ve forwarded something to you.”
Jin Hanrong furrowed his brows, not sure what his little brother was up to this time. He probably was playing some mysterious game again. Regardless, Jin Hanrong couldn’t help but smile at the thought.
However, when he opened the email and saw its contents, the smile quickly vanished from his face.
The email detailed another side of their father that no one knew about—apparently, he had another family and a supposed true love named Wei Xinling. Moreover, Bai Xiuming wasn’t adopted; he was their father’s biological child with that woman.
Bai Xiuming’s age was even fabricated; he was actually the same age as Jin Hanrong, only a little over a month younger. It was completely different from what they had been told when he was brought home, claiming he was two years younger.
The news was shocking to Jin Hanrong, and for a moment, he was unwilling to believe that his father could be such a person.
However, the overwhelming evidence, including photos, left him with no choice but to believe it.
It meant that Bai Liang had been unfaithful from the beginning of his marriage to their mother. Not only did he have a mistress, but he also brought the child from outside and raised them together with them.
Everything Bai Cheng had said in anger, the reminders, and the differences in treatment between himself, Bai Cheng, and Bai Xiuming, all replayed in Jin Hanrong’s mind.
The image of his father in his heart collapsed completely. Jin Hanrong used to console himself, believing that they were his biological sons, which was why they were treated so harshly. But now it seemed that their father didn’t care about them at all.
What made him even more disheartened was the information about Bai Liang’s actions towards the Jin family company over the years. It was clear that he harbored ulterior motives.
Bai Liang’s actions weren’t particularly clever; it was just that after the Jin family’s patriarch passed away, their mother hardly came back anymore. It was only this year that Jin Hanrong entered the company to handle matters according to their maternal grandfather’s will, but he faced numerous obstacles.
He had always thought that his father was just a bit obsessed with power, maybe even testing him, but there should have always been a place in his heart for their family. But reality dealt him a heavy blow.
It was his fault for never doubting his father. He didn’t know Bai Liang was such a person.
Perhaps, from the beginning, his father’s intention was to seize his mother’s inheritance!
With these thoughts in mind, Jin Hanrong took a sharp breath. This result was handed over to him after his younger brother investigated. It was because him, as elder brother, was too incompetent.
“Bai Cheng,” Jin Hanrong looked at his younger brother with complex emotions. Unconsciously, Bai Cheng had grown beyond him. He had underestimated him.
Seeing his older brother’s mix of emotions, Bai Cheng felt uneasy. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, I’ve given you the information.
In our family, you are the true heir in our father’s eyes. I’m just a third-year high school student, and I don’t want to deal with all these matters. I’ll leave the affairs of the Jin family to you, okay?”
“What Jin family? It should be ‘our family’!” Jin Hanrong said helplessly, but nodded and said, “Let me handle it all. You’ve already done enough. But where did you get this information from?”
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Bai Cheng dismissed the question.
Seeing his brother’s response, Jin Hanrong didn’t press further. With it being late, he urged Bai Cheng to rest early and resolved to pull himself together. He couldn’t let Bai Liang and Bai Xiuming continue to manipulate them.
He wasn’t alone now; he had his mother and Bai Cheng to protect!
Returning to his room, Bai Cheng found that Mo Yi had already fallen asleep. After freshening up and changing into pajamas, Bai Cheng lay down and kissed Mo Yi’s forehead before embracing him.
Breathing in the pleasant scent of Mo Yi, Bai Cheng began to replay the events in his mind.
While he had passed the matters regarding his father to Jin Hanrong, he didn’t intend to wash his hands of it completely.
Putting aside everything else, the fact that Bai Xiuming had been scheming against them under their noses for so many years was unacceptable. While he had previously ignored the provocations, now he realized that Bai Xiuming might even think he was entitled to inherit the entire Jin family.
But that was wishful thinking!
Bai Xiuming’s academic performance was average at best. His admission to the same prestigious school as Bai Cheng was not solely due to the Jin family’s wealth but also because he, like Mo Yi, was a talented student.
Bai Xiuming had won several awards for his paintings in recent years and was a prominent figure at school, always seeking attention.
However, Bai Cheng knew that Bai Xiuming’s painting skills were not exceptional enough to win so many awards. The paintings he submitted for competitions were all done by someone else.
Thinking about this, Bai Cheng smirked.
Wasn’t Bai Xiuming always boasting about his integrity and excellence, unlike Bai Cheng who enjoyed getting into fights and being a bit of a rebel?
He wondered how everyone would react if they knew that all the honors Bai Xiuming had received over the years were fake, bought with money.
That would be interesting to see.
