“Damn it, getting discovered really wasn’t the right time!”
Around the corner, Mo Yi gritted his teeth in annoyance. He had only been a little bit short. If he had succeeded, he would have been able to break Jiang Mingda’s leg. Failing really left him feeling unhappy.
When 005 saw this, it hurriedly comforted him. “Host, no matter what, Jiang Mingda is still a reborn person in this small world. Reborn people usually have pretty good fortune, which is how they can contend with the male and female leads, so this time Jiang Mingda being lucky enough to be discovered is normal.
It’s fine. You already gave him a hard beating this time. At worst, we’ll find another chance to teach him a lesson next time.”
As 005 spoke, it always felt that it seemed to have been led astray by its host recently. How had it also started thinking about resorting to violence?
That wasn’t good. It had always been a peace-loving dog!
Because of dealing with Jiang Mingda and Liu Fu, Mo Yi had delayed quite a bit of time. Looking at the sky now, it was already completely dark, almost midnight, and his mood was even more indescribably gloomy.
It was all because of those two pieces of trash that he had been delayed from going home to sleep!
When Mo Yi had estimated earlier that he would have to wait a long time, he had already sent Bai Ren a message on his phone, telling him to go home first after getting off work and not wait for him, but the other side still had not replied.
He did not know whether Bai Ren was angry because he had been gone for so long, or whether he had already returned to the Bai family and gone to sleep early.
Mo Yi’s heart unconsciously carried a little unease, and he rushed back to the Bai family old mansion at high speed.
At this hour, the lights in the entire house had long since been turned off. Mo Yi did not dare go through the front gate, so he simply climbed over the wall. Then he climbed in through the kitchen window, stole some late-night snacks from inside, wolfed them down, and only then quietly returned to his room.
Only, just as he closed the door and turned on the light, he saw that there was actually someone in his room, clearly someone who had been waiting for a long time.
Bai Ren was sitting in a wheelchair, quietly sitting in the corner of the room and looking at him.
The unexpected scene made Mo Yi’s heart tremble. Like a child who had done something wrong, he revealed a somewhat guilty smile and said, “Bai, Bai Ren, why are you still in my room so late?”
Why was he in his room?
When Bai Ren heard this, his gaze darkened. In the afternoon at the company, when Mo Yi had used going out as an excuse, he had thought it was only because his little fool was greedy, and perhaps wanted to go buy some other snacks, and would be back in a little while.
But he waited for a long time, until everyone in the company had gotten off work and Mo Yi still had not come back. Only then did Bai Ren truly become anxious.
Ever since they had gotten together, they had never been separated for such a long time.
It was only after receiving a message from Mo Yi that he learned the other party had really been delayed outside by something.
But what exactly was it?
Bai Ren actually very much wanted to directly make a phone call to Mo Yi, or keep sending him messages, urging him and asking where exactly he was, what he was doing, and why he had left for so long!
But he didn’t. He only silently went to the company’s monitoring room and pulled up the footage, but could only see that after the boy left the office building in the afternoon, he had hurried off and far out of the camera’s range.
Bai Ren was both worried and uncomfortable, and could only return home alone to wait. But staying in his own room only made him even more restless, so he simply came to Mo Yi’s room to wait for him.
Thinking of that Liu Fu who had coveted Mo Yi today, Bai Ren could not help feeling a dark stirring in his heart.
He wondered if the little fool had listened to Liu Fu and become wavering, thinking the other man had more prospects and would be better to follow.
Liu Fu had even said that Mo Yi following him was like following a cripple, but he was not a real cripple at all!
In fact, whether it was appearance, body, or true identity, he was better than Liu Fu by a thousand times.
Could it be that the little fool, because he did not know the truth, had left him? Just like back then when he had descended from the sky, suddenly appearing, then suddenly leaving.
The whole night, Bai Ren had been lost in wild thoughts. Even though many of them, once they surfaced, he himself felt were impossible.
But being alone in the dark made it impossible for him not to give rise to more negative emotions.
Yet deep in his heart, it seemed there was another voice persuading him, telling him that Mo Yi was not that kind of person, that he would not leave him because of such vulgar external things.
Precisely because of this, he had barely been able to steady his mind.
Otherwise, Bai Ren absolutely would not have been sitting here so calmly.
Only, this matter once again made him feel a kind of powerlessness, the same feeling from when he was little and still could not completely control his own fate, and could only be manipulated by others.
That feeling was really terrible, but it also let him realize from another angle how important Mo Yi was to him.
At one point, he even wanted to lock Mo Yi up, so that only he could see him, so that he could only stay by his side.
But then he thought of the blocked monitoring when he had previously taught that group of thugs a lesson, the extremely high combat power, and the ability to learn in a short time.
Mo Yi, was he really someone he could keep locked up?
Perhaps it was for that reason that he had not called Mo Yi to interrogate and urge him. After seeing him again, Bai Ren had even already withdrawn all the gloom from his eyes and figured out what kind of attitude he should present.
So when Mo Yi asked him why he was here, the man deliberately revealed a frail expression and looked at him.
“I thought you had left.”
Bai Ren’s voice was hoarse, his expression indescribably lonely, making the boy’s heart tighten.
He hurriedly walked quickly up to him and shook his head. “How could that be? I wouldn’t leave, I’m already back.”
“I know, I’m really glad you’re back.” Bai Ren said with a smile, though his eyes still carried a trace of unease and bitterness.
“Only, you’ve never been away for this long before, and today Liu Fu also said those things in the office. I thought, I thought you also despised me for being a cripple and wanted to leave me.”
“Don’t listen to that idiot, how could I possibly despise you!” Mo Yi thought of the word cripple that Liu Fu had said, and his lungs were practically about to explode with anger. He only regretted that he had not beaten him hard enough today.
He anxiously grabbed Bai Ren’s hand, crouched in front of him, and seriously promised, “I will never leave you, Bai Ren, believe me, we will always be together! I mean it, I’ll always take care of you!”
Seeing the sincerity in the boy’s eyes, Bai Ren finally nodded and reached out to pull Mo Yi into his arms.
Only when he held the other person did he feel, at that moment, that his uneasy heart had been filled.
This little fool had really already occupied his mind and become someone incomparably important to him, someone he wanted to keep by his side no matter what means he used.
Being held like this by Bai Ren, Mo Yi was still half crouching, so his posture was actually a little awkward. But he did not struggle at all, because he also liked being close to Bai Ren like this.
An intimate embrace between the two of them would make a special kind of happiness rise in his heart.
It was not until they had held each other for a long time that Bai Ren let go. Mo Yi stood up, but because his legs had gone numb, he stumbled a little. Fortunately, the man supported him in time.
“Sorry, I stayed here so late and affected your rest. It was all my fault, I was the one who let my imagination run wild.” Bai Ren looked at Mo Yi with eyes full of apology, which instead made the other even more guilty.
“How could that be, it’s my fault instead. I promise you, I definitely won’t leave for so long again in the future.”
As Mo Yi said this, he thought that it was already very late, so he stood behind Bai Ren, intending to push his wheelchair and send him back to his room.
But Bai Ren grabbed his hand and asked a little hesitantly, “Xiao Mo, can I not go back?”
The man’s cheeks were slightly red as he looked up at Mo Yi. His originally somewhat sharp features were softened by this vulnerable posture.
Mo Yi was startled when he heard this, and then saw Bai Ren turn his head to stare at the large bed in the room that could absolutely sleep two people.
Feeling that Bai Ren must care about him very much and wanted to stay in a closer place with him, he felt indescribably happy.
To him, Bai Ren was also the most important. He was eager to be a little closer to this person.
He nodded without hesitation, revealing a bright smile, and directly lifted Bai Ren up horizontally and placed him on the bed.
Bai Ren had already changed into sleepwear, so Mo Yi did not need to help him. Mo Yi rushed into the bathroom, washed up in a few quick motions, and then returned to the bed and lay down.
The two of them lay side by side on the same large bed. For a moment, the room returned to silence.
After the light was turned off, with the moonlight as a guide, Mo Yi was still able to make out Bai Ren’s face, and he unconsciously revealed a silly smile.
Bai Ren also had not expected it to go this smoothly. Looking at the boy across from him with that foolish expression, he reached out and ruffled his hair.
The two smiled at each other. After Mo Yi said “good night,” he fell peacefully asleep.
Only he did not know that once his breathing became steady, the man once again opened his eyes.
Turning his head to stare deeply at Mo Yi, Bai Ren moved close to him, pulled him into his arms, and kissed his forehead. Only then did he let out a satisfied sigh and fall asleep in each other’s embrace.
