    Chapter 117: Each Cherishing Their Own Scheming

    At six in the morning, Bai Xian walked out of the room to prepare breakfast for Jin Mo.

    At seven, Xiao Feiwu opened the door, followed by Xu Jiahao.

    “Wow, what a milky fragrance!” Xiao Feiwu sniffed vigorously.

    “Milk and oatmeal porridge this morning!” Xu Jiahao thought for a moment and said.

    “Oh, I remember!” Xiao Feiwu scratched his head and smiled.

    “Let’s go, after eating, we still have to go to the city. It’s getting colder soon, and we don’t have any thick clothes, we’ll freeze to death!”

    Xu Jiahao grabbed Xiao Feiwu and walked along the corridor towards the stairs.

    When passing Jin Mo’s door, the two lightened their steps.

    “Little Mo shouldn’t be awake yet, keep it down!” Xu Jiahao gestured to Xiao Feiwu and whispered.

    Xiao Feiwu nodded, his pace immediately slowing down.

    The conversation between the two was heard word for word by Ruan Ying.

    She hid behind the peephole, watching the two walking past her one after the other, lightly and quietly.

    Now, she was even more convinced that everything really was a coincidence.

    Her heart also settled down a lot.

    Turning around, she walked to the refrigerator, opened it, and took out a chocolate bar!

    When she checked in, she noticed that Slow Residence provided five chocolate bars, five packs of nuts, and five boxes of instant noodles in addition to water and juice.

    These foods were enough for her to stay here for two days.

    At half past eight, she received a message from Pei Qingqing.

    Pei Qingqing: I just went out to inquire, asked a few people who all said they didn’t know. Only Uncle Li from Li’s Farmhouse said that he didn’t know if there would be a power outage, he only knew that when he woke up at night, he noticed that the streetlights outside the window were not lit!

    Although she had already confirmed it herself, getting a second person to confirm it felt completely different.

    Ruan Ying’s last trace of doubt also disappeared.

    Ruan Ying: Okay, got it, pay attention to the situation at the door, and tell me when you see Xiao Feiwu and the others leave.

    Pei Qingqing: Got it!

    Hearing movement outside, Ruan Ying quickly put down her phone and walked lightly towards the door.

    Opening the peephole, she just saw Bai Xian carrying Jin Mo out, the two walking and kissing, smiling at each other from time to time.

    Jin Mo was nestled in Bai Xian’s arms, his face buried in Bai Xian’s neck, as intimate as could be.

    Ruan Ying bit her lip!

    She was slightly stimulated!

    She knew they were good, but she didn’t expect it to have reached this point!

    Jin Mo’s leg could obviously walk slowly, but Bai Xian was still worried, carrying him wherever he went, afraid that he would hurt even a little.

    Ruan Ying stood behind the door, listening to the receding laughter, and spat hatefully, “Tch!”

    Two grown men, so sickeningly sweet, disgusting!

    Thinking this, she walked back to the sofa and bit into the chocolate bar as if venting her anger!

    Downstairs, Bai Xian carried Jin Mo and placed him in front of the breakfast table.

    Xiao Feiwu and Xu Jiahao were almost finished eating, and when they saw the late Jin Mo, they teased him.

    “Young Master, you’re so lucky, sleeping until eight o’clock every day, and someone to serve you as soon as you wake up!” Xiao Feiwu said with a grin after stuffing the last egg roll into his mouth.

    Xu Jiahao stepped on him.

    Xiao Feiwu pursed his lips, giving Xu Jiahao a resentful look, not daring to protest.

    Xu Jiahao picked up a bowl and filled it with milk and oatmeal porridge for Jin Mo, pushing it in front of him.

    “Don’t listen to Xiao Feiwu’s sour words, he’s just envious, jealous, and hateful!”

    How could Jin Mo care about Xiao Feiwu’s teasing?

    “I am the Young Master, I just enjoy Bai Xian’s meticulous care, so what! If you have the ability, you find a meticulous woman to take care of you!”

    Jin Mo stared with bright eyes, launching a wave of counterattacks at Xiao Feiwu, then lowered his head and took a sip of the porridge.

    Bai Xian laughed softly when he heard this, handing Jin Mo the peeled egg in his hand.

    Xu Jiahao glanced at Xiao Feiwu.

    Hearing this, Xiao Feiwu quickly shook his head, his hands waving repeatedly.

    “No, no, no, I don’t want to find a woman to serve me, I… I…” he stammered, looking at Xu Jiahao as he spoke.

    Xu Jiahao’s face turned slightly red, and he turned his head to avoid Xiao Feiwu’s gaze, continuing to drink the porridge.

    Seeing that Xu Jiahao was ignoring him, Xiao Feiwu was a little dejected, “Humph, humph” and picked up another egg roll to stuff into his mouth.

    Jin Mo almost choked.

    “Concentrate on drinking the porridge!” Bai Xian’s hand stroked the top of his head, his eyes sweeping over Xiao Feiwu.

    Xiao Feiwu’s mouth was stuffed even fuller, leaving almost no gap to speak.

    Xu Jiahao then exchanged a look with Bai Xian.

    After eating, Xu Jiahao pulled Xiao Feiwu out the door.

    Pei Qingqing, who was hiding at the door of the room on the second floor, immediately tipped off Ruan Ying.

    With these two troublesome people gone, the success rate of their plan would increase greatly.

    This made her so excited that she almost dropped her phone on the ground.

    “Ah! Fantastic!” She couldn’t help pacing in the hall, occasionally making crazy, ecstatic movements.

    Xiao Feiwu and Xu Jiahao, who had left the door, quickly turned to the backyard and re-entered Slow Residence.

    After Jin Mo finished breakfast, he grabbed Bai Xian’s arm and acted spoiled.

    These days, he had vaguely noticed his own abnormalities.

    Sleeping a lot, being easily tired, and occasionally experiencing palpitations, sometimes even feeling like he wasn’t getting enough oxygen while sleeping.

    He was sensitive!

    Because of his adopted son status, he had learned to read people’s faces from a young age.

    Bai Xian was both normal and abnormal.

    He was as good as before, in a good mood, and would be amused by him from time to time. When facing him, whether in expression or gaze, there was no strangeness.

    However, Jin Mo still noticed his changes.

    For example, the breakfast in front of him was even more elaborate than when his leg was in a cast, not just breakfast, but all three meals.

    Every day was arranged like it was all planned out, with no repeats in a week!

    For example, he would say a few sweet nothings that touched his heart from time to time!

    Although he loved hearing Bai Xian say them, he knew how shy Bai Xian was before, so why was he suddenly so open!

    The key was, he only talked, didn’t act!

    Kisses, countless times a day, but all were fleeting, none going any deeper.

    As for Little Brother, he had been idle for a long time!

    Every time he wanted to go a little deeper, Bai Xian would say, “No hurry, wait until your leg is better!”

    No matter how he pestered and begged, Bai Xian would only firmly hold him, smile and kiss him lightly, occasionally rubbing his face against his…

    In short, there was no intention of going deeper.

    Jin Mo wondered if he wasn’t charming enough!

    Thinking about it, he rejected the idea.

    If he really wasn’t charming enough, Bai Xian wouldn’t kiss him so many times a day, and carry him around like he was crippled.

    After thinking it over, he thought that maybe there really was something wrong with his body.

    Ever since the car accident, his body hadn’t been very good.

    His various organs had been injured to varying degrees, and in those three years, he hadn’t been by Bai Xian’s side, and had to self-destruct from time to time, so he might have really suffered serious sequelae, and now they were starting to flare up.

    Carefully observing Bai Xian’s every move, he felt that it shouldn’t be anything life-threatening.

    Otherwise, how could Bai Xian be so calm, accompanying him in this small village, being all lovey-dovey, he would have dragged him into the hospital long ago!

    Thinking this, he felt that it was likely a problem that required a period of rest.

    It’s just that eating, sleeping, and eating all day long, living a pig-like life was too boring, he still had to enjoy the feeling of being in love.

    So, after finishing breakfast, he grabbed Bai Xian’s arm.

    “What’s wrong?” Bai Xian lowered his head and gently rubbed Jin Mo’s slightly furrowed face.

    “Isn’t there a bamboo weaving workshop behind the greenhouse base, let’s go take a look!”

    Bai Xian thought for a moment and nodded.

    “Okay! Tomorrow!”

    Jin Mo’s “Aww” hadn’t finished sounding before it was extinguished!

    “Why tomorrow?” He was very puzzled, frowning, looking up, and pouting as he asked.

    Bai Xian smiled.

    “Something to do today, cast the net and catch fish!”

    Jin Mo blinked his eyes, not understanding!

    Bai Xian laughed softly, gently rubbing his hand over Jin Mo’s eyes.
