An Zhaoyao works

809

    

Bai's heart was beating very fast. Upon arriving at this place, his heartbeat seemed to stop, and he felt extremely sad. He had to suppress his emotions so that the past experiences wouldn't affect h...809

"Don't you want to tell me" Moya asked calmly. Mo Xiaobai shook his head; when he was awake, he was so quiet, a world apart from the chatty Mo Xiaobai.

Moya didn’t force him: "If you don’t want to talk about it, then that’s fine. As long as nothing is wrong."

Mo Xiaobai began to think; if there was another chance in the future and he inadvertently hurt Moya or even killed Moya, what would happen He couldn't control himself under these circumstances, let alone Moya—Moya wouldn’t be able to bear hurting him, so the only outcome could be that Mo Xiaobai ended up killing Moya.

Mo Xiaobai couldn't accept such an ending.

He had struggled so hard to survive not just to end up being killed by his own hands because of Moya.

"I'm hungry," Mo Xiaobai said. Moya smiled and pulled him up: "Let's go then, I think they're waiting for us."

Moya drove the car with Xiaobai in it. He was a bit worried about how to explain why Xiaobai had changed like this, but when their family saw his silent state, they only stared at each other blankly before going back to what they were doing.

Family understood such situations without needing to be told outright.

So Moya was very happy and naturally led Xiaobai’s hand because it was allowed. Mo Xiaobai raised an eyebrow but didn’t refuse.

The barbecue stand was set up, Rongyan took charge of the small suckling pig while others handled other tasks. Su Man sat on the beach as a hands-off boss, occasionally glancing at Mo Xiaobai thoughtfully.

Ye Wei looked over at Mo Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, what would you like to eat"

Mo Xiaobai pointed towards Rongyan's suckling pig. Rongyan smiled and said: "I’ll carve it for you first."

Chu Chu came over as well asking Mo Xiaobai: "Brother Xiao Bai, what would you like to eat I'll cook it for you."

"I don't believe in your cooking skills," Mo Xiaobai said coolly. Chu Chu wasn’t used to seeing such a serious-faced Brother Xiao Bai and pouted: "Brother Xiao Bai thinks my cooking is terrible, Mom…"

Rongyan shrugged with a smile as everyone laughed together. Baidu used the barbecue stand's roasted lamb while Moya let go of Mo Xiaobai to get something to eat. Mo Xiaobai chose an area that was quieter and sat down; Su Man came over.

"Are you feeling unwell"

Moxiao shook his head, as it was already over. Su Man asked again, "What did you eat wrong today"

"I drank an ice beer."

"How much did you drink"

"Just one sip!"

Su Man said, "Be careful and don't drink anymore." Moxiao nodded. Su Man was always reserved throughout her life; she seemed like a cloud that drifted quietly without any connection to worldly affairs. Unless it concerned him, she never spoke unnecessarily. She hardly talked much and seldom initiated conversations with others except for Baiye. Therefore, it was rare for Su Man to talk proactively to Moxiao. Normally, Moxiao would have eagerly sought her attention, but today he remained silent.

Moyao roasted corn and chicken wings for Moxiao and brought them over when they were done. He first asked if Su Man wanted any; she pointed at Baiye without speaking. Moyao then handed the chicken wings to Moxiao, who took them without hesitation and started eating. His appetite wasn't satisfied by a few chicken wings and one roasted cob of corn, so Moyao went back to roast some beef for him. Moxiao finished the chicken wings and corn in no time.

Baiye also brought over several skewers of grilled meat for Su Man and asked Moxiao if he wanted any; Moxiao shook his head. Baiye raised an eyebrow, sat down beside Su Man, opened a bottle of beer, and drank it nonchalantly as though nothing was amiss. Eating grilled meat while drinking beer was quite enjoyable.

Moxiao pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and breathed more rapidly; the temptation was overwhelming. He wished he could also drink but knew Su Man and Baiye were fully aware that they shouldn't in front of him yet continued to do so while looking for topics to chat with Moxiao.

"Where did you two go" Baiye asked.

"The hot spring resort," replied Moxiao, without showing any embarrassment because he knew what he had done during his detox period and that Baiye was well aware of the state of his body.

Baiye indeed knew very well, so there were no surprises. "To be honest, going to a hot spring resort is such a waste of money. Why not drive straight to the beach for some fun That would have been much more exciting; resorts are just dull."

Baiye was even more open than Moxiao. Moxiao nodded and said, "I'll try it next time."

"You're such a good boy." Baiye laughed heartily, his laughter catching Moyao's attention. When he looked over, their gazes met; Moyao smiled slightly, easing the sadness on Moxiao's face.

The prolonged gaze made Moxiao feel warm and at ease. Moyao wished this moment could last longer as it was the first time he openly held hands with Moxiao in front of family members.

Feeling acknowledged, he hoped such moments would linger for a while longer.

Moyao brought over some vegetarian dishes again. Moxiao said, "I want meat."

"Save your appetite for the roasted suckling pig and mutton," Moyao replied, "Eat slowly now to keep you going.

The roasted beef he ate himself. Xiao Bai said, "I want to eat the suckling pig later."

"Wait until I finish eating and then I'll get it for you," Moyao said. Chu Chu already brought over a large plate of roasted meat. That was cooked by Wu Shuang and Kara for them. Moyao got up and ate, while Moyao went to find him a bottle of juice.

The combination of drinking juice with eating roast meat wasn’t ideal, but Xiao Bai could only eat this right now. He himself found it rather depressing as well.

Su Man and White Night moved further away from the group to sit somewhere else in order to whisper to each other. Moyao and Moyao finally got a quiet space for themselves. Moyao ate happily, while Moyao said, "Eat slowly, I remember you only ate a little when we arrived. Why are you so hungry"

"I burned calories just now."

Moyao was choked by that answer. Dammit, how could he be this blatant It was too outrageous.

Moyao wasn't merely being outrageous, he was outrageous to a degree where it didn’t affect him at all. Moyao himself blushed furiously red. Xiao Bai looked so cute as he drank the juice and kissed Moyao’s lips right after. Moyao was stunned by that while Kara blew a whistle over there. "Moyao, you just pounced on your big brother."

All eyes turned to them. Xiao Bai left Moyao's mouth and this time he ignored everyone with his gaze. Wu Shuang laughed heartily and started chatting about their relationships together with Kara.

The Eleventh smiled tenderly, having waited for so many years, Moyao finally got what he wanted even though the situation was a little special and not perfect. Xiao Bai wasn’t always stable but it would be nice to see them acting like a couple in front of everyone else while getting their recognition.

Even Mo Jue’s thick-skinned self could barely accept this kissing scene, finding it rather beautiful.

Xiao Bai ignored them. He hardly said anything unless someone talked to him first. Most of the time he sat far away quietly except when Chu Chu was around as everyone else were in pairs over here. So they were happy to look for their own fun on the beach and nobody treated Xiao Bai like a patient.

Xiao Bai felt relaxed.

The suckling pig had finally been cooked, and Xiao Bai’s mouth watered already. The moment it was ready, Moyao went over and took one big piece that Ren Yan cut for them. The fragrance of the food stimulated Xiao Bai’s appetite; Moyao actually believed that he burned calories with his AI work when he ate quite a lot tonight yet still managed to eat such a huge portion of suckling pig.

Su Man didn’t eat pork, and White Night said she missed out on something tasty. Ren Yan's cooking was excellent, plus her specially made condiments; Ye Wei would say that this was the best suckling pig in the world.

Xiao Bai ate with great satisfaction and Moyao gave him half of his portion when he finished eating. Xiao Bai asked, "You aren’t going to eat it"

"I’m interested in roasting lamb," Moyao said, and Moyao took the other half without hesitation and started gnawing at it. Moyao smiled faintly, “The roasted lamb isn't ready yet; do you want to take a walk on the beach”

Xiao Bai undid his shoes, and Moyao said, "There are broken glass pieces on the beach, don’t take off your shoes so that you won't get hurt."

TheWhitey decisively took off his shoes. Su Man said, "This is a private beach and it’s very clean."

Moyao thought about it and took off his socks too, then held the hand of TheWhitey to take a walk together. Everyone else was lying down or sitting behind them, feeling rather moved.

Moyeh asked, "So they’re together now"

TheEleven retorted, "Then what qualifies as being 'together' They can’t get married, so how is this not considered to be together"

Moyeh said, "TheWhitey still has an engagement in Rome. Yesterday he was pestering Ye Wei to go back to Rome and have the wedding. He wanted to introduce a bride for us too. Today my son turns into his wife. This is just too scary when you think about it."

TheEleven said, "A wife"

The corner of her mouth twitched; did Moyao look like a wife Moyeh said, "Look at how Moyao and the Third Grandson are serving TheWhitey. How could this not be a wife then It should have been the other way around."

Moyeh was very curious about one thing and asked Eleven, "Wife, you and Ye Wei were eavesdropping on the wall just now, who wanted to get married"

TheEleven blushed and asked in puzzlement, "You knew"

"Of course!"

"Then why didn’t you come along with us to listen."

Moyeh was dumbfounded. "Why would I want to eavesdrop on my son’s conversation like Ye Wei I’m not that crazy."

“You’re not allowed to say that about Weiwei!”

Moyeh raised his hand, saying, “Okay, okay, why do my wife and son and younger brother all serve her and his son. This world is so unfair.”

TheEleven looked up at the starry sky in puzzlement and said to Moyeh, "Moyeh, if you yourself are not sure about this question, then… it’s possible that Moyao might turn into a wife"

Moyeh burst out laughing. uncomfortable. Warming picked up the scattered clothes and hurried into the bathroom for a soothing bath.He really was rough, leaving her in great pain last night. He seemed to want so many times wit...
