Being able to keep his original familiar appearance, Mo Yi was still very satisfied.
He directly wiped the water on his face with the T-shirt on his body, and then continued battling the towel.
In his last life, he had lived in a world similar to Xia Country in ancient times, and there were no facilities like faucets or ceramic washstands. He was also in a hurry, and as a result, he splashed water all over the sink, so he simply grabbed the dripping towel and headed out.
It was 005 who anxiously told him that the towel needed to be wrung out more, and could not be too wet. Only then did he wring the towel again, return to the room, carefully avoid the wounds, and wipe the man’s face and body.
He had already tried very hard to lighten his strength, but the other party’s skin was still rubbed red by him, which made Mo Yi flustered again.
In the end, Mo Yi even clumsily folded the cold towel into a not very square shape and placed it on the man’s forehead.
He had never done this kind of thing before, and after such a busy round, he was sweating all over, feeling as if it was even more exhausting than fighting.
He casually wiped his face with his sleeve, and when he saw that Bai Ren’s complexion had improved, he felt it was worth it.
“Host, aside from his legs, the mission target only has superficial injuries. He has already taken medicine and the fever has gone down. His condition is now very stable, and he will wake up very soon.
The villain is very powerful. We just need to wait for him to wake up, and he will contact the people who handle these matters himself. What remains is only for him to return to Jincheng, find a trustworthy doctor to treat him, and his legs will recover.”
“Then why hasn’t he woken up yet?” Mo Yi looked at Bai Ren’s face and asked with some worry.
“Logically speaking, he should have woken up.” 005 scanned Bai Ren’s condition again, and there really was no serious problem. However, it was also possible that he would continue sleeping for a while longer.
“Host, don’t worry, nothing will happen. You’re also exhausted, so rest for a while first. When he wakes up, I’ll call you!” 005 saw Mo Yi busily running around the whole time, and persuaded him.
“Okay.” Knowing that Bai Ren was fine, Mo Yi let out a breath.
He was indeed tired too. Seeing that the large bed still had plenty of space, he took off his outer clothes and lay directly down beside Bai Ren, also curling himself into the blankets.
The soft and comfortable feeling captivated him, and before long, the boy uncontrollably sank into a sweet dream.
Only, Mo Yi did not know that not long after he fell asleep, the man beside him slowly opened his eyes.
Bai Ren turned his head silently and looked at the boy’s peaceful sleeping face, falling into silence.
He remembered everything that had happened, and he also remembered how he had staggered and fallen under a bridge.
The piercing pain in both legs was still there, yet the expression on the man’s face did not change in the slightest.
He was not at all surprised that someone would target him. Especially when he had just been developing in Y Country, offending certain people’s interests would naturally make him a thorn in their side.
At that time, even more people wanted to kill him. Most of the attacks he could still avoid. However, his luck had never been very good, and some things could not be avoided.
He had encountered all kinds of trouble, big and small, over these years, and he only did not know whether this time, his legs would be ruined.
Although even if they really were ruined, he did not care very much, and even his own life was not something he took too seriously.
Anyway, living was just boring. It was only somewhat regrettable, because with such a boring world, he had originally wanted to personally watch it head toward destruction.
Destroying this world with his own hands might be the only thing that had ever made him feel a little interested.
However, it was obvious that those people had not intended to take his life, and he had therefore survived smoothly.
The only thing in the entire incident that surprised him was this boy who had suddenly appeared beside him.
His nerves had been tense all along. When he was under the bridge and felt someone approaching, he had thought it was someone else coming to deal with him. In the end, when he opened his eyes, he saw a teenager who looked extremely thin.
The other party’s face and hair were both dirty, and his clothes were also worn in a messy, ill-fitting way. He should have been a little beggar.
Yet for some reason, Bai Ren felt that the boy would not hurt him, so after he felt that he would not be threatened, he could not help but pass out.
Later on, he had actually woken up intermittently, so he knew that the other party had carried him away, and how he had brought him to the inn to take care of him.
He actually did not really understand why this person would save him. If it were him, he would absolutely not take the initiative to pick up such a big trouble.
And what happened afterward was truly strange as well, making him sense that Mo Yi was unusual.
A child who looked this thin, even if he was not short, still had strength that was somewhat frightening. Carrying a man as tall and broad as himself all the way, he looked effortless, and even his breathing never became disordered.
And the boy clearly looked like a beggar, so how could he have money to get the innkeeper to take them in?
He had just heard their conversation very clearly. That money might not amount to much for him, but for a homeless drifter, it should have been a huge sum, yet the other party showed no sign of heartache at all.
His gaze carefully swept over Mo Yi’s face. Even with his eyes closed and asleep, one could still tell the boy was very good-looking.
A teenager of around fifteen or sixteen was youthful and lively. Although there did not seem to be much flesh on his body, his face still carried baby fat.
Thick brows and big eyes, a straight high nose bridge, one could imagine that in a few more years, he would definitely grow into a very handsome young man.
However, that mouth was quite delicate as well, still plump with a small lip bead. Slightly parted, it revealed the bright red little tongue inside and the cute canine teeth, and one could tell at a glance that the owner was sleeping soundly.
This little fellow had taken very good care of him. When wiping and cleaning him, he had been flustered, but one could still feel his seriousness. But as for himself, did he not know to properly tidy himself up?
This dirty, and only that little face was still presentable.
Clearly, the boy beside him had many suspicious points.
In other people’s eyes, a person who appeared so inexplicably and carried so many contradictions might be a threat and should be handled with caution, but Bai Ren only felt excitement.
He did not even care about life and death, so how could he care about having one more strange person.
He even felt that Heaven had seen that his days were truly too boring, and had sent a little thing over to amuse him.
He let out a soft breath, licked his lips, and because of the pain in his legs, the expression on his face became ferocious, while his eyes held a morbid excitement.
But in the end, he was still too weak, and soon closed his eyes again.
He was an injured person now. Since he was tired, he should rest properly…
The two of them lay together just like that, peacefully and harmoniously, and slept soundly through the night. It was not until the next day, when the sun was already high in the sky, that Mo Yi was awakened by the sunlight spilling through the glass window onto his face.
“Hu!”
Mo Yi yawned, and just like that, lying there, he comfortably stretched.
He had not slept this deeply, this well, in a long time.
Opening his eyes and seeing the rose-colored ceiling lamp above his head, he then remembered everything that had happened yesterday.
He had originally thought he would only rest for a while, so how had he slept for so long!
He hurriedly turned his head to check the condition of the person beside him, and saw that the man had already woken up. He was lying on his side looking at him, even blinking at him.
“You’re awake!”
Seeing this, Mo Yi sat up in alarm, staring at Bai Ren with widened eyes.
“Mm.” Bai Ren nodded and gave him a smile. “I’m awake, thank you for saving me. My name is Bai Ren.”
“I know, I know!” Mo Yi said excitedly.
Great, this person had finally woken up, and he seemed to be in pretty good condition too.
But while Mo Yi was happy, 005 in the sea of consciousness helplessly lay down and covered its face with one paw, simply unable to bear watching.
Sure enough, the next second the man opposite him raised an eyebrow and said, “Oh? You know who I am?”
Although it was a question, he used an affirmative tone.
But obviously, Mo Yi had not realized anything was wrong.
In his last life, although he had lived for many years, at first he had also hidden his ears and tail, interacted with many people, and indirectly learned a bit about the ways people got along.
But after all, his luck had been too poor, and he was soon exposed. He had not truly lived as a human for very long, so he could not completely understand human affairs.
He could communicate smoothly with people, and could also keenly sense the emotions of those around him, but the deeper, more twisted things, he still did not really understand.
So hearing Bai Ren’s question, Mo Yi directly nodded with a matter-of-fact expression and said, “Of course, I know you are Bai Ren.”
Then, full of anticipation, he asked the man, “Then do you remember me?”
The reason he had been so eager for this person to wake up, aside from his concern for the man’s body, was that he also very much wanted to use this person to confirm whether the memory fragments that flashed through his mind were real.
However, if Mo Yi understood a little more common sense, he would have discovered that the man in the memory image was wearing a wide-sleeved long robe and had long hair, which did not belong to this era.
His words also made Bai Ren pause. Looking at the boy’s posture, could it be that he knew him, which was why he had saved him.
But he searched through all his memories and still could not remember exactly who he was.
He would definitely remember such a special boy.
Thinking of this, Bai Ren frowned. After a long while, he shook his head at Mo Yi and said, “Sorry, have we met before?”
Faced with such an answer, Mo Yi was undoubtedly disappointed.
He silently pressed his lips together. Although he had already prepared himself for this in his heart, he still could not stop his mood from sinking.
005 in the sea of consciousness, however, was instantly stirred, and hurriedly asked, “Host, host, have you remembered? Have you remembered the mission target… and me?”
“What are you saying? You mean, we already knew each other?” Mo Yi jolted out of his disappointment, suspicious that the system knew something.
005 looked at Mo Yi’s expression and could not pin down how much he had remembered, but thinking it over, it probably was not much, otherwise he would not have ignored it for so long.
The system remembered someone’s instructions, and there were many things it could not reveal, so it could only choose its words carefully and say, “Host, we actually were not bound in this world. It was just that because some problems occurred, I fell into sleep right after binding with you, and only woke up after arriving in this world.
That is, our strategy target has always been the same soul, so you and the mission target may have already met before. But because I was asleep, you were unable to retain your memories in the small worlds we passed through before.
Now that I have awakened, some of your past memories have also awakened with it, although they are still somewhat incomplete.”
