    Chapter 57: Eating the Same Strawberry

    After Jin Baiyan placed Jin Mo on the bed, he prepared to leave.

    “Don’t go!” Jin Mo grabbed his arm. “Xiao Feiwu will bring breakfast soon. I asked him to buy porridge!”

    Jin Baiyan lowered his head, his brow slightly furrowed.

    “I’m afraid you’re tired!” Jin Mo said with a smile. “This hospital bed is so small, it’s hard for you to even turn over. You must not have slept well last night!”

    Jin Mo’s hand clutched the hem of Jin Baiyan’s shirt, his face, freshly washed and still carrying a hint of warmth, tilted upwards as he blinked his eyes at Jin Baiyan.

    Jin Baiyan’s hand trembled, a desire to reach out and touch him rising within him.

    “Jin Baiyan…”

    Jin Mo drawled out his name, his voice soft and cute.

    “I know you don’t like eating outside breakfasts, so I asked Xiao Feiwu to bring you milk, the brand you like! And a boiled egg. Just make do with that for breakfast, okay?”

    He finished speaking, tugging and shaking Jin Baiyan’s shirt.

    Jin Baiyan’s heart skipped a beat!

    He nodded. “Okay!”

    Jin Mo smiled like a little puppy, soft and sweet.

    Jin Baiyan felt his heart was soaking in a hot spring, numb!

    Their gazes met involuntarily!

    Jin Mo’s heart started beating “thump-thump-thump” incessantly.

    He kept telling himself that this was Jin Baiyan, without his brother’s memories, so he wasn’t the man who loved him to the core.

    They were just friends now, how could he have such wicked thoughts about a friend!

    No, no, he had to stay calm!

    Jin Mo, Jin Mo, Jin Baiyan without his brother’s memories was still a blank slate. If he rushed in too aggressively, he might scare him away!

    What would he do then?

    Did he want to go through those hellish days again?

    Jin Baiyan quietly looked at Jin Mo, his eyes carrying a hint of a smile.

    He didn’t know what Jin Mo was thinking, he just felt that Jin Mo was very similar to the kitten he had adopted.

    A look of wanting to pounce on him, but also a bit of fear.

    When Xiao Feiwu came in with breakfast, he saw this strange scene.

    He couldn’t help but cough.

    Jin Mo turned his head and glared at him.

    Jin Baiyan glanced at him indifferently.

    Xiao Feiwu laughed dryly.

    “Let’s eat breakfast!” Carrying the breakfast, he avoided Jin Baiyan, went around to the other side, and handed it to Jin Mo. “Here!”

    After speaking, he walked to the end of the bed and started to crank the bed up for Jin Mo.

    After Jin Mo sat up, he took out the milk and eggs from the bag and handed them to Jin Baiyan.

    “Jin Baiyan, this is yours!”

    Jin Baiyan accepted the breakfast, put it on the table, picked up the porridge Jin Mo had taken out, opened the lid, looked at it, and made sure it was just plain white porridge before returning it to Jin Mo.

    Jin Mo couldn’t help but smile.

    Ever since the car accident, his stomach hadn’t been very good. If he ate something unclean, he would vomit and have diarrhea.

    He himself didn’t care much about it, but Jin Baiyan cared a lot.

    During those three years in college, his roommates were all bought off by Jin Baiyan.

    As long as he had the thought of eating some junk food, he would be “ganged up on” or “divvied up.”

    In short, the number of times and the amount of junk food that ended up in his stomach was quite small.

    He had always been very grateful to his roommates for their kindness to him until he was about to graduate when he found out that it was all his brother’s instructions.

    He didn’t expect that even if his brother had changed personalities, even if he had lost his memory, he still remembered these small details.

    After eating, Xiao Feiwu took away the trash, while Jin Baiyan went to get some hot water.

    Jin Mo looked at Jin Baiyan busy at work, wondering what he was going to do!

    “Jin Baiyan, are you going to wash my face? There’s no need, I only drank a bowl of porridge!”

    Jin Mo opened his eyes wide, looking at Jin Baiyan, his tone full of doubt.

    Jin Baiyan didn’t answer him, but wrung the towel dry, then walked to the other side of the bed.

    “Hand!” Jin Baiyan said in a low voice.

    Jin Mo froze for a moment, then extended his left hand, and saw his slightly swollen hand, then he understood what Jin Baiyan wanted to do.

    The blood vessels were too thin, the IV insertion site was already a bit bruised, and it hurt when he moved.

    Jin Mo himself didn’t pay much attention to it, but he didn’t expect Jin Baiyan to notice it all along.

    After the hot towel was applied to the back of his hand, he instantly felt much more comfortable.

    “Jin Baiyan…”

    Jin Mo called out softly.

    Xiao Feiwu outside the door shuddered.

    Having grown accustomed to Jin Mo’s serious and sharp side these days, suddenly seeing him revert to his usual harmless and soft appearance was a bit frightening.

    This guy was acting!

    He had been acting for twenty years, and even he hadn’t seen his true nature!

    Walking into the ward, Xiao Feiwu looked at Jin Mo.

    Their eyes met and exchanged a few words.

    -You’re acting again!

    -I’m acting, I just like acting in front of my brother, so what! Bite me!

    Xiao Feiwu ground his teeth and gave in!

    The corners of Jin Baiyan’s mouth curved up slightly.

    “Huzi’s side is making slow progress, I asked Xiao Ping to go over and help,” Xiao Feiwu said, placing the washed lunch box down.

    Jin Mo said “Oh,” then raised his eyebrows. “What about Xu Jiahao? Still sleeping in? Damn, the boss is already awake, but he’s still sleeping in. His salary has to be deducted!”

    Xiao Feiwu echoed.

    “Yes, his salary must be deducted!”

    “Deduct what?” Xu Jiahao’s raspy, somewhat displeased voice rang out at the door. “I went to the orchard early in the morning to pick fresh fruit for you, and you’re thinking of deducting my salary! Damn, my good intentions were eaten by a wolf!”

    Jin Mo and Xiao Feiwu exchanged glances, both feeling guilty!

    It was hard to find someone to tease Xu Jiahao with, but they ended up being overheard, and they even wronged him.

    Jin Mo tugged at the hem of Jin Baiyan’s shirt, as if wanting to hide behind him.

    Xu Jiahao angrily walked in with a large bag of fruit.

    When he passed Xiao Feiwu, he glared at him fiercely.

    When he passed Jin Mo, he looked at him resentfully.

    Xiao Feiwu reached out and scratched his head, facing the window, as if nothing had just happened.

    Jin Mo smiled awkwardly. “Haha, we were just bored, just joking! Brother Xu, please be magnanimous, how could you argue with a sick person like me! Right, Brother Xu!”

    Xu Jiahao snorted, wanting to retort fiercely, but when he turned his head to meet Jin Baiyan’s cold gaze, he instantly fell silent.

    Seeing Xu Jiahao being scared off by Jin Baiyan with just one look, Jin Mo couldn’t help but lower his head and chuckle softly.

    The hand clutching Jin Baiyan’s hand shook a little.

    Jin Baiyan lowered his head, seeing Jin Mo’s soft hair bouncing slightly, and a hint of a smile crossing his eyes.

    Xu Jiahao took out a package of strawberries.

    “Look, fresh strawberries, less than half an hour away from the mother plant!”

    Jin Mo’s eyes lit up. His brother loved to eat strawberries the most. He didn’t know if Jin Baiyan liked to eat them too!

    “Brother Xu, you’re the best!”

    Xu Jiahao glanced at him. He was the best! Who was it that wanted to deduct his salary just now!

    Jin Mo bared his teeth, indicating that it wasn’t him!

    Xu Jiahao quickly washed the strawberries and handed them over.

    Jin Mo immediately chose a big, red one, reached out and picked it up, and brought it to Jin Baiyan’s mouth.

    “Jin Baiyan, eat!”

    Jin Baiyan couldn’t dodge, and the tip of the strawberry directly touched his lips.

    “Open your mouth!”

    Under Jin Mo’s bewitching gaze, he involuntarily opened his mouth and took a bite.

    “Is it sweet?” Jin Mo looked at Jin Baiyan with a look of anticipation.

    Jin Baiyan nodded, his ears burning.

    On the other side, Xu Jiahao and Xiao Feiwu exchanged glances, and both shook their heads!

    Afterwards, they each stuffed a strawberry into their mouths and said in unison, “It’s really sweet!”

    It had a kind of competitive vibe!

    Jin Mo rolled his eyes at the two of them, threw the half-eaten strawberry into his mouth and chewed!

    Jin Baiyan’s face instantly turned red! A surge of heat gushed from his heart!

    He couldn’t say what that feeling was!

    He only felt very hot, very hot!
