Chapter 9 – Sweetheart from the Sky: The Gentle CEO’s Sweet Kiss (9)
Telling Bai Mo not to admire a beautiful man was impossible.
It wasn’t like he wanted to stare only at the male lead, but… unfortunately, the one who fit his aesthetic perfectly just happened to be the male lead.
Mother He, watching the two boys gazing at each other so deeply, smiled knowingly.
Thinking of her eldest son’s slow and gentle nature, she made up her mind—she was going to help him out.
With a warm and enthusiastic expression, she tried to persuade Bai Mo to stay at the He family’s home.
“Xiao Mo,” she said gently, “Auntie wants to ask you for a favor. I know this might put you in a difficult position, but I really have no other choice…”
Her face filled with hesitation as she carefully voiced her request—
She hoped Bai Mo could stay at the He residence.
The reason?
It was simple—for He Yuning’s psychological well-being.
Protecting the young was everyone’s responsibility.
Helping a child grow up safe and healthy was a duty no one could refuse.
But… moving into the He family home…
Bai Mo hesitated.
He did like children, but there wasn’t just a child here.
There was also the male lead.
Noticing Bai Mo’s reluctance, Mother He frequently shot glances at He Yuchi—
Do something! Do you want to lose your wife?!
Even though He Yuchi had long since lost the tacit understanding he once had with his family, at this moment, a sudden stroke of inspiration hit him.
He sat down beside Bai Mo, his voice calm and persuasive:
“Mo Mo, we still haven’t found out who orchestrated the kidnapping. It’s not safe outside. And besides, Ning Ning needs you…”
I want you to stay, too.
“And then there’s… your parents…”
That one sentence hit Bai Mo’s blind spot—one even his system had forgotten about.
The “Black Moonlight” had a pair of bloodsucking parents.
And those two leeches were fully aware of where Bai Mo lived.
They had come knocking many times before, making a scene, demanding money.
In this kidnapping case, Bai Mo’s parents were technically considered “victims” as well.
After all, they had been used as hostages—a bargaining chip to threaten Bai Mo.
However, until the mastermind was identified, there was no way to prove whether those bloodsucking parents were actually colluding with the villains or not.
As a broke university student constantly extorted for money, Bai Mo’s wallet had always been empty.
He Yuchi picked up He Yuning and asked,
“Ning Ning, would you like Brother Mo to live with us?”
The moment the child heard such a wonderful idea, he immediately slid off He Yuchi’s lap and grabbed onto Bai Mo’s clothes with his chubby little hands.
“Yes! I like Brother Mo~”
The little dumpling still carried the scent of milk, and Bai Mo’s heart softened instantly.
“Mo Mo, stay.”
The expressions of the two brothers were eerily identical.
They were just one step away from writing the word “longing” on their faces.
Bai Mo smiled and nodded.
As He Yuning burst into an excited “Yay!”, He Yuchi also couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile, his happiness spreading from his heart outward.
Xiao Bobao, who didn’t have time to stop him, clutched its chest in despair.
Mo Mo! Do you still remember your grand plan?!
With the male lead beside you as a comparison, you’ll never find a quality boyfriend!
But the decision was made, and there was no turning back.
Bai Mo was a senior university student.
During his recovery from the kidnapping, his classmates had already completed their courses and gone off to find internships.
But because Bai Mo had missed too many classes and didn’t have enough credits, now that he was back, he had no choice but to return to school to take his exams.
Although Bai Mo inherited the original host’s memories, he hadn’t personally studied the material.
When he tried to retrieve the knowledge from his mind while reviewing, he found himself a bit slow.
Since He Yuchi was also “recovering from injuries” and didn’t need to go to the company, he took this chance to tutor Bai Mo in private.
This earned him a lot of favor, and the atmosphere in the He household became even more warm and lively than before.
…
Finally, the make-up exam day arrived.
Bai Mo’s eyes welled up with tears, and under He Yuchi’s warm smile, he took his stationery and reluctantly stepped into the classroom, looking back every few steps.
Staring at the test questions, Bai Mo bit his pen as he struggled to recall the key points.
“Wuwuwu, Xiao Bobao, you’ve changed! You don’t love me anymore! You’re not even helping me with the answers~”
He tearfully complained in his mind about the system’s coldheartedness.
“Mo Mo, you got this! I believe in you! This is for your own good—knowledge will never betray you! The more you learn, the more you understand, and that’s only beneficial! Let’s gooo—”
Xiao Bobao made a cheering gesture, completely ignoring Bai Mo’s resentful gaze, and happily flipped open the plot book.
From the moment the male lead picked up Bai Mo’s phone call, the plot had already deviated.
At the police’s current pace, it wouldn’t be long before the danger was fully resolved.
How wonderful.
Xiao Bobao’s mood soared.
Thinking about how He Yuchi personally tutored Mo Mo, even drove him back to school, and was now waiting outside the exam room, Xiao Bobao’s dislike for him lessened a bit.
Honestly, the male lead’s character wasn’t that bad.
Curious, Xiao Bobao extended its senses to see what He Yuchi was doing outside.
The next second—
Its smile vanished.
With a snap, it slammed the book shut and glared at the man and woman “chatting happily” on the campus path.
“Tsk! A dog will always eat sh*t.”
She had just started thinking He Yuchi might actually be decent.
If he weren’t tied to the female lead, and if Mo Mo liked him, a little romance wouldn’t be a big deal.
After all, He Yuchi perfectly matched Mo Mo’s aesthetic preferences.
But now—
What was she seeing?!
Mo Mo had only left for a short while, and He Yuchi was already cozying up to Dan Xiaowen?!
The way they looked at each other—
Just a little more, and they’d be hugging and cuddling!
No way.
She would never allow such an amazing host like Mo Mo to be ruined by a scumbag.
Absolutely not!
