Chapter 10 – Sweetheart from the Sky: The Gentle CEO’s Sweet Kiss (10)
Bai Mo scratched his head, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t come up with the answer.
Out of habit, he lifted his head, expecting to see He Yuchi explaining the question—
But next to him was just a window.
Sigh~ Exams…
Wait a minute.
The teenager narrowed his eyes.
On the lush green campus path, who was that pulling and tugging at He Yuchi?
Bai Mo observed carefully.
Although He Yuchi was smiling, there wasn’t much genuine joy on his face.
His brows furrowed repeatedly…
As a top predator in the hunting world, a snow ferret’s hearing is sharp.
Bai Mo strained his ears to listen—
Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t hear a single word from He Yuchi and the female student.
That didn’t make sense.
There’s no way I wouldn’t be able to hear it.
Bai Mo felt a wave of irritation, though he wasn’t sure if it was because his hearing seemed to have failed—
Or because he was watching He Yuchi pulling at someone else.
Xiao Bobao tried to soothe his emotions:
“Mo Mo, don’t panic! I’m keeping an eye on them for you! The exam is way more important than that dog of a man—just focus on your test…”
The reason Bai Mo couldn’t hear?
Because she had activated a noise-blocking shield.
If she had known this would happen, she would’ve blocked his vision too.
Having earned energy from past tasks, Xiao Bobao was now rich and reckless—
When it came to using energy, she didn’t hesitate at all.
Thanks to her past experiences doing missions with the Lord God, she had always had a natural fondness for male leads.
However—
After seeing too many brainless male leads in plot books, she had grown so frustrated her teeth itched.
Unless the one receiving unconditional love was her own host, she had no tolerance for them.
After all—
Who doesn’t love a good double standard?
And when it came to double standards, Xiao Bobao was the absolute champion.
Bai Mo forced himself to focus on the exam, digging through his mind for He Yuchi’s past explanations.
Yet, instead of retrieving knowledge, he recalled countless moments of their time together.
His peripheral vision flickered toward the window.
The two people outside were still talking—
Standing even closer than before…
The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt.
If He Yuchi only likes the female lead, why is he treating me so well?
Is he trying to play both sides?
Dog man, dog man, dog man…
“Mo Mo, twenty minutes left! Hurry and do your test!”
Xiao Bobao reminded him.
Bai Mo snapped back to reality.
His scratch paper was already half-filled with “He Yuchi’s” name.
He blinked forcefully, pushing back the sting in his eyes.
“Mm~”
The exam bell rang.
Both inside and outside the classroom, people let out a sigh of relief.
He Yuchi declined Dan Xiaowen’s invitation, his focus locked on the exit of the academic building.
Soon enough, the dejected-looking teenager emerged, clutching his pencil case.
Seeing this, He Yuchi’s smile deepened, and he stepped forward—
But just as Bai Mo saw the girl standing beside him, he huffed, turned his head away, and refused to look at him.
…What just happened?
He Yuchi had no idea why Bai Mo was upset.
He stood there at a loss, his usual eloquence suddenly failing him in front of the teenager.
“Mo Mo, are you unhappy?”
A person in the throes of love is always plagued by insecurities—
And right now, that was exactly He Yuchi’s state.
“None of your business~”
The teenager’s soft, milky voice carried a hint of jealousy.
He shook off He Yuchi’s hand—
But his gaze couldn’t help but drift toward Dan Xiaowen, who had caught up to them.
“I know the way back. Go be with your female lead.”
The sour tone in his voice made it obvious he was jealous.
But—
Having never been in a relationship before, and blinded by concern, He Yuchi completely missed the hint.
“The school is far from home. It’s inconvenient for you to go back alone, Mo Mo.”
He frowned, genuinely worried.
“And… I don’t know any ‘female lead.’”
“Mo Mo, you can’t expose the plot!”
Xiao Bobao quickly intervened, stopping Bai Mo before he let anything slip.
In a normal world, revealing something abnormal would get him dragged straight to a research facility for dissection.
Bai Mo shuddered at the images Xiao Bobao flashed in his mind.
Faced with He Yuchi’s concern, he stubbornly pressed his lips together, refusing to speak.
Within their social circle, Dan Xiaowen knew more about the He family’s youngest son’s kidnapping than most people.
For example—
She knew that He Yunin being taken had something to do with Bai Mo…
Now that he had been rescued, she couldn’t understand why the He family had let the culprit off so easily.
Since the mastermind hadn’t been identified yet, the police had chosen to keep the details confidential to avoid alerting the enemy.
As a result, the information Dan Xiaowen had received was both limited and mostly inaccurate.
She glanced at the delicate-faced teenager, a flicker of disdain flashing in her eyes.
A broke loser will always be a broke loser.
Trying to act like a rich second-generation to deceive people—
And even after getting exposed, he was still clinging to He Yuchi.
Shameless.
“Brother Chi,” she said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, subtly showcasing her most flattering three-quarter profile,
“My mother is very concerned about Xiao Ning. Would it be convenient for us to visit…?”
The Dan family and the He family had been on good terms in the past.
He’s mother and Dan Sihe’s mother had once been close friends.
But after Dan’s mother passed away, and her father remarried, the two families gradually drifted apart.
He’s mother and the new Mrs. Dan had completely different values.
They couldn’t hold a conversation for five minutes, let alone go out for shopping trips or spa days together.
At best—
They’d nod politely if they happened to cross paths at a banquet.
“Green tea b*tch!” Xiao Bobao gritted her teeth, cursing.
A low-level green tea b*tch at that—
But for dealing with a straight man like He Yuchi, even that was enough.
“Mo Mo, are you mad at me?”
He Yuchi had completely ignored whatever Dan Xiaowen had been saying.
He had been watching Bai Mo closely for a while now—
And it really seemed like Bai Mo’s anger was directed at him.
That meant—
He must have done something wrong that made Mo Mo unhappy.
“Brother Chi…”
“Mo Mo…”
“You little b*tch,” Xiao Bobao floated smugly in front of the female lead,
“No matter how much you play your ‘green tea’ act, the male lead still doesn’t care about you. He only has eyes for my Mo Mo.”
She was very satisfied with how nervous He Yuchi was about Bai Mo.
Hearing their voices overlap almost simultaneously, Bai Mo’s mood instantly improved.
He let out a soft cough, allowing He Yuchi to tentatively take his hand.
Then—
He tilted his head, voice slightly muffled, giving himself a way out: “I might not have done well on the test~”
Little Snow Ferret’s head tilt attack!
Now, the real question is—
Did Ah Wei survive it?
Sunlight filtered through the rustling leaves, scattering softly across the teenager.
The fine peach fuzz on his glowing cheeks was clearly visible.
His eyes were bright, and his rosy lips pouted ever so slightly—
As if subtly inviting a kiss.
Xiao Bobao didn’t know if Ah Wei survived,
But—
She did detect a surge in He Yuchi’s dopamine levels.
In other words—
He was falling in love.
She couldn’t for the life of her figure out why there was such an intense bond between the male lead and Bai Mo.
Why did they act like star-crossed lovers reuniting after a thousand years,
Even though this was their first meeting?
She had no clue—
But that didn’t stop her from being thrilled about the fact that the male lead was completely ignoring the female lead.
“It’s my fault,” He Yuchi said, his voice full of guilt.
“I must not have covered the right exam topics when I tutored you.”
“I’ll go over the key points with you at home—so next time, you’ll pass for sure.”
Looking at the teenager, whose eyes had curved into happy crescents,
He Yuchi couldn’t stop the smile spreading across his lips.
“Okay~”
“Brother Chi, I happen to be free. I’d love to visit Auntie and Xiao Ning—would that be alright?”
Dan Xiaowen, unwilling to be ignored, cut through the warm atmosphere between the two, her face adorned with a sweet smile.
As she spoke, both hands reached out to cling onto He Yuchi’s arm.
“PAH—!”
A crisp slap echoed.
Dan Xiaowen’s hand instantly turned red.
After hitting her, Bai Mo immediately wrapped his arms around He Yuchi’s waist,
His soft, syrupy voice laced with hostility: “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Brother Chi, look at him! I was just—”
Tears trembled on the verge of falling, clinging to her long lashes—
A sight designed to invoke pity.
This move always worked like a charm on other men.
Unfortunately for him—
Bai Mo only cared about handsome men.
“Miss Dan,” He Yuchi said, his tone polite but distant,
“I apologize on Mo Mo’s behalf for his actions just now, but I must also ask you to respect yourself. We are not close. We are not in the kind of relationship where holding hands is appropriate.”
He Yuchi might be slow, but he wasn’t stupid.
Dan Xiaowen had made her intentions clear,
And yet—
Did she really think he’d fall for it and let her drive a wedge between him and Mo Mo?
Bai Mo lifted his chin haughtily at Dan Xiaowen.
Did you hear that?
The male lead doesn’t like you.
His slender waist curved slightly,
And the warmth of He Yuchi’s body seeped through the fabric.
Bai Mo’s thoughts began to drift.
His small hands—
Which had been resting on He Yuchi’s lower back—
Unconsciously moved to the front,
Sliding over his abdomen.
Whoa~
Abs.
And not just abs—six-pack abs.
Each one firmly sculpted, taut and strong…
Little Pervert Mo activated.
If only there wasn’t this layer of fabric in the way…
At that moment—
Just as He Yuchi was firmly drawing a line between himself and Dan Xiaowen—
His body suddenly shuddered.
He lowered his gaze—
Only to see a certain little pervert,
Eyes gleaming with unholy light,
shamelessly feeling up his abs,
Clearly under the impression that the owner of said abs wouldn’t notice.
So this is… liking someone?
He Yuchi straightened his back and wrapped one arm around the boy’s waist. His usually smooth and gentle voice now carried a trace of hoarseness, teased into roughness.
“Mo Mo, are you satisfied?”
Bai Mo, completely immersed in the allure of male beauty, nodded enthusiastically.
“Satisfied, satisfied~”
Hearing this, a deep, amused smile flickered across He Yuchi’s eyes.
Only Xiao Bobao covered her eyes, unable to bear watching her host act so foolishly.
Mo Mo, can we tone it down a bit?
There’s a time and place for being a lovestruck fool!
The female lead is still standing right there!
When she glanced at Dan Xiaowen, however, she saw that the girl’s face had darkened with rage at He Yuchi’s warning and blatant favoritism.
At that moment, Xiao Bobao’s back no longer ached, her legs no longer hurt, and her entire body surged with energy.
Turns out Mo Mo was the one hiding his true power all along!
Well played!
