A snake that is good at finding ingredients? Mu Yan thought in surprise.
Although he had not anticipated the outcome of the event, the little snake’s life was saved. Mu Yan needed ingredients the most right now, yet he knew far too little about the edible ingredients of this world. He searched a vast area each time, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Perhaps with the help of this jade snake, these things would become a lot easier and simpler.
Mu Chen didn’t grasp the jade snake tightly after hearing what Mu Yan said, but he also didn’t let it go.
The small jade snake had spent all of its might breaking free, and it was now resting lazily on Mu Chen’s finger. If the snake had an expression, it would have been one of lovelessness.
“Yanyan, quickly sign a contract with this jade snake.” 005 said eagerly.
“Sign the contract? How do I sign it?” Mu Yan asked, puzzled.
“You only need a drop of blood on the jade snake, and the contract can be successfully signed.” 005 explained.
Mu Yan reached out to touch the jade snake, but Mu Chen grabbed his small hand and pushed the jade snake away.
“Be careful not to get bitten. I’ll kill it first if you want to touch it.” Mu Chen explained quietly.
The jade snake seemed to understand Mu Chen’s words, and immediately lifted its small head with all its remaining strength. Its small eyes looked pitifully at Mu Yan, as if seeking help from him.
This snake looked intelligent and knew that Mu Chen would listen to Mu Yan. Therefore, it did not seek mercy from Mu Chen, who controls its fate, but instead sought help from the relatively weak Mu Yan.
“I’m not going to touch it anymore. Ah Chen, this little snake is so cute, shall we keep it?” This snake was good at finding food, but Mu Yan couldn’t explain this reason to Mu Chen. He had to find another reason, but this made him feel more guilty towards Mu Chen.
In his mind, the husband was the closest person to him, the one with whom he could discuss anything. He kept about the system and his own life experience on his own. All of this made Mu Yan feel bad for Mu Chen.
When Mu Chen noticed Mu Yan’s emotions lowering, the words that had come to his lips quickly changed to, “Okay, we’ll keep it.”
Mu Yan gently approached and took the initiative to embrace Mu Chen. He rubbed his head against his broad and comfortable chest and said, “Ah Chen, you are so kind to me.”
Mu Chen used his free hand to touch Mu Yan’s soft hair, with a spoiled smile on his lips as always, “If I’m not good to you, who is?”
Mu Yan closed his eyes slightly, feeling the temperature in Mu Chen’s body and the powerful heartbeat.
A pleasant forest date ended with meeting a jade snake stealing food.

Although 005 spoke loudly and no one else could hear it except for Mu Yan, he still chose to speak softly and experienced the thrill of whispering.
“Hmm.” Mu Yan responded in his thinking in a low voice, rarely absent-minded.
Mu Yan was led all the way back by Mu Chen. He had a lot of trust in Mu Chen and let him guide him as his ‘thoughts started to wander’ again.
Mu Chen’s heart softened even more when he saw Mu Yan’s dull countenance.
He didn’t walk quickly because he was scared Mu Yan would trip or fall behind. There was also a desire to spend more time with Mu Yan, holding hands and walking in this manner.
Regardless of how slowly he walked, they eventually returned home. Mu Yan, who was dazed, regained his senses when the familiar house came in his field of vision.
“Are we back?” Mu Yan inquired, his face was blank.
“Well, then, welcome home.” Mu Chen made a rare joke as he strolled into the house, holding the hand of his lover.
‘Home’ was perhaps the most lovely word in the world.
Mu Chen tossed the cage carrying the jade snake aside and returned to the bedroom with Mu Yan.
“Mumu, lie down and rest for a while, I’ll make dinner.” Mu Chen coaxed, then took off Mu Yan’s coat and shoes before tucking him in the quilt.
“I’m not tired, I’ll cook dinner with you.” Mu Yan said as he wanted to get up, but Mu Chen pressed the quilt on his body, preventing him from moving.
“Hey, rest for a while, it will be done soon.” Mu Chen’s big hand gently patted Mu Yan’s back through the quilt, like a mother coaxing a baby to sleep.
Mu Yan didn’t feel sleepy at first, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier under Mu Chen’s soft pat, and he eventually fell asleep.
“Baby, have a good rest.” Mu Chen pressed a kiss on Mu Yan’s forehead, then got up and went to the kitchen to make dinner.
“Yanyan, Yanyan, wake up quickly, let’s go and make a contract with the jade snake.” When 005 saw Mu Chen coming into the kitchen, he rushed to wake up Mu Yan.
“Hmm…” Mu Yan, who was soundly sleeping with Mu Chen’s comfort, heard the loud voice in his ear, turned over, and hummed, but there was no sign of him waking up.
In fact, 005 didn’t want to disturb Mu Yan’s sleep, but this was a rare opportunity. If he missed this time, it would be difficult to find another opportunity under that man’s sight in the future.
Therefore, 005 could only continue calling Mu Yan persistently.
“005?” Mu Yan stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, feeling a little sleepy.
“Yanyan, let’s hurry up and make a contract with the jade snake.” 005 said eagerly.
That man had always been cooking very fast, who knew if he would come back suddenly? So Yanyan must hurry up.
“Oh.” Mu Yan slowly got off the bed. Seeing this, 005 wanted to go forward and give him a hand!
When they returned, Mu Chen casually tossed the small cage containing the jade snake into the yard, so now he still needed to go to the yard to find the little snake. But there was a great possibility that Mu Chen would find him in the yard.
This time, a person and a system were a bit tangled.
“What should we do, 005?” Mu Yan stood by the bedroom window, looking at the yard outside, and asked.
005 wrinkled his furry little face. If it removed the hair all over its body, 005 would look like a wrinkled little bun.
“Umm, let me think about it.” 005’s brain began to race, trying to think of various solutions, but before it could discuss it with Mu Yan, it let itself veto it.
005 had a rare flash of inspiration, proudly raised his inconspicuous small chest, and excitedly said to Mu Yan, “Yanyan, I thought of it! Give me your blood, and I will drip it on the jade snake for you. Isn’t this sufficient to ensure the contract’s success?”
005 was ecstatic at this idea. It truly was the brightest and most useful approach, far superior to a specific man!
“Okay.” Mu Yan responded. “Where exactly do you want the blood?”
“Hmm. Anywhere, or just one finger, should be good.” 005 commented that its voice was considerably weaker than before. 005 was always a little nervous for some reason.
Mu Yan gazed at his slender hands, unsure where to begin, so he returned his gaze to 005.
“Why don’t you find something sharp to give it a little prick?” As 005 suggested, the trepidation in his heart became more apparent, and he felt an urge to flee.
It seemed unusual; how could such a feeling exist for no reason? 005 was perplexed.
Mu Yan had never considered actively harming himself. There was an old saying in his village, ‘The body, hair, and skin, all been received from the parents‘. But he changed his mind when he realized that if he had contracted that jade snake, he would have a much simpler time finding food in the future.
Mu Yan, on the other hand, inspected the room and found no sharp things.
005 continued to scan the area with his gaze; after all, the only place they could go was this small bedroom.
005’s gaze was drawn to something, and he quickly replied to Mu Yan, “Yanyan, why don’t we do this…”
Mu Yan walked to the bedside after hearing 005’s idea and grabbed up a glass on the bedside. Mu Chen was concerned that Mu Yan might wake up thirsty, so he put a glass of water here, which was the only ‘sharp thing’ that could cut his finger at the time.
Mu Yan drank all of the water in it before the glass slipped from his grasp and shattered with a ‘crash’ sound.
“Yanyan, please hurry up.” Because he observed someone rushing towards this side, 005 quickly said this to Mu Yan.
Mu Yan didn’t hesitate to slit his fingertips, spilling small drops of blood as he did so.
005 rushed up to the small blood bead and enveloped it in the system’s power before flying out the window and right for the jade snake.
“Mumu, what has happened?” When Mu Chen heard the disturbance, he hurried in as fast as he could. He hesitantly asked Mu Yan, “Is there any injury?” after seeing the broken glass on the ground. “Where did it hurt?”
Mu Chen worriedly examined Mu Yan, and when he saw the bleeding little finger, he immediately grasped it in his lips and softly licked it, worrying that a heavier one would cause his hand to suffer.
“I… I’m fine.” Mu Yan bowed his head and avoided looking at Mu Chen,
Mu Yan’s heart was pierced one after another by Mu Chen’s distressed and worried expression, making him feel guilty and afraid to approach him.
Due to his selfish reasons, Ah Chen was worried and heartbroken, but he couldn’t tell him the truth yet, which made Mu Yan feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
“Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay. It won’t hurt soon.” While comforting Mu Yan, Mu Chen gently picked him, away from the glass shards on the ground. He put Mu Yan on the bed and then took the medicine from the bedside table, which was left after Dr. Li treated Mu Chen’s wound last time.
Mu Chen gently applied the medicine to Mu Yan, that cautious attitude was like treating his most precious and fragile treasure.
“I-I’m sorry.” Mu Yan apologized softly, his big eyes became moist because of Mu Chen’s gentle actions.
Frozenmirage: Hello, my dears, it’s been a long time! To tell you the truth, I started a new job and moved to a new workplace, which made the last two weeks so chaotic and crazy that I couldn’t even touch my cutie danmei. So, for the following weeks, I’ll probably shift the schedule to weekends. I will update on weekdays as well, no promises, but I will try! Thanks for patiently waiting! 
PS: Mr. Mu Chen, please do not kill an animal just so your sweetheart can touch it!!!
Thanks for the chapter.
I agree with the translator that MC was wrong in even thinking about it.
When will MY tell MC about the system, will he tell him at all.
I mean, they can eat it after “touching moment”

By this point in the story, I’ve converted completely to a black powder fan, and my joy is found in pointing out the author’s shortcomings!!
Do not lick wounds to disinfect them! Or use unboiled river water!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING AWESOME!!
