When Mo Yao was looking for Bai Ye, he and Su Man had gone out. According to Daina, they were very busy recently with many houseguests, so they went out for a romantic night. The Su family's guests didn't mind waving them off. Ye Wei hooked her arm around Mo Jue and asked if he wanted to go out. Naturally, Mo Jue wanted to go out too, so the couple also left. Therefore, Mo Ye and Shiyi naturally went out as well. In any case, there were many cars in Su Man's family; one of Bai Ye’s interests was collecting good cars.

Mo Yao's attempt to ask about Bai Ye's situation was delayed. After eating his fill and sleeping soundly, Xiao Bai became bored. The house was quiet, so he went to find Mo Yao who was handling matters and sending emails. Xiao Bai bounced onto his bed and pulled the blankets over himself. Mo Yao turned around and asked, "What are you up to"

"I'm bored. Dad and Mom have gone out. Big Brother, shall we go out too" Mo Xiaobai suggested excitedly. Mo Yao said, "We just went out today."

"The night view in Riyadh is the most beautiful, and it's cool at night. I want to eat grilled meat and drink beer." Mo Xiaobai reminisced about eating barbecue on the beach and drinking beer, which was so refreshing. His recent meals had been very light, leaving his taste buds wanting something with more flavor.

Mo Yao said, "You can't drink alcohol right now; during detoxification, you have to abstain from everything. Eat according to the menu for your health." Mo Yao smiled and enjoyed chatting with Mo Xiaobai about daily matters like this.

Mo Xiaobai rolled around in the blankets, pleading with Mo Yao to go out. His reason was perfectly legitimate—nobody would know if he had a little beer. Mo Yao looked at him with a half-smile and asked, "Are you willing to give up your handsome face"

That hit him right where it hurt. Mo Xiaobai thought about his good looks and the wrinkles on his face now and immediately gave in. Appetite was important, but his face mattered more. Mo Yao was busy working at the computer when Xiao Bai leaned over, saying, "Big Brother, you're always so busy. When are we going to travel"

"No time."

"There is! Anyway, my detoxification period is almost over. Why don't we go on a trip and return to Rome together Ji Bing happens to be in Rome too; you haven’t met him yet." Mo Xiaobai excitedly proposed.

Mo Yao paused his typing before continuing, answering with no emotion, "I haven’t."

"Once we get back, I'll introduce the two of you."

Mo Yao immediately felt irritated. His fingers began to make mistakes as he typed. Mo Yao remained silent; Mo Xiaobai yawned and fell asleep comfortably on top of him. Mo Yao said, "Go back to your room."

"No," Mo Xiaobai refused, "I don’t want to be alone in the room."

Moyao felt a pang in his heart as he realized that Xiaobai had lost part of his memory but still retained the fear in his consciousness, which made him resistant to being alone in a room. Since the previous night, he had been sleeping in his own room and after enduring two nights, he finally came to Moyao's room unwilling to委屈自己 anymore.

As soon as Xiaobai returned from his drug craving, he fell asleep again. Now that he was awake and energetic, without feeling tired or going online or playing games, the book on Moyao’s desk caught his attention before Moyao could snatch it away. It was about multiple personalities and memory confusion; a book Moyao had found in Baiye's study. Baiye and Suman's studies were filled with globally top-notch books on medicine, psychology, viruses, computers, etc., making it easy to find anything he needed. He tried to understand the reason behind Xiaobai’s unusual behavior today, so he picked up a book about multiple personalities and memory confusion along with one about schizophrenia and another on psychology, intending to read them after handling his work.

Xiaobai flipped through the books but found the content boring and fell asleep. The type of books Moyao liked were different from Xiaobai's preferences; Moyao enjoyed professional books that helped him in his work while Xiaobai preferred novels, especially mystery and detective stories. He only read two pages before abandoning the book due to its dullness.

"Boss, why are you reading such books" Xiaobai asked as he put the book back and picked up another one. Moyao didn't stop him, merely saying indifferently, "I saw them in the study this afternoon; I thought they might interest you but there’s no special reason."

"Boss, don’t read these books too much; it makes people go crazy," Xiaobai said as he put down the book and went back to sleep. Finding nothing else to do, he picked up the psychology book and started reading a case about a boy who had been sexually abused by his stepfather since childhood, leading him to split into two personalities: a man and a woman. The woman was strong while the man was weak; whenever the man faced attacks, he would mentally transform into the woman to protect himself. Consequently, this other side of him killed his stepfather and escaped legal punishment. Xiaobai found it unbelievable that someone could split their personality like this.

Moyao had no special insights on such cases either; with numerous psychological and mental diseases around the world, they couldn’t research every single one thoroughly. Since Xiaobai wasn't interested in books but rather case studies, Moyao patiently followed his line of thought and looked at things from his perspective.

After finishing his work, Moyao noticed that Xiaobai had fallen asleep while reading the cases. Seeing how weak he was, Moyao gently removed the book and continued working with a heart full of sympathy for him.

Ye Wei came back to check on Xiaobai but found him in Moyao's room sound asleep. She didn't say anything but asked, "Are you okay after going out today"

Moyao thought for a moment and shook his head; Ye Wei nodded, then closed the door without further words. Moyao glanced at Xiaobai before returning to his work—everything was fine.

The next day, Moyao asked Baiye about Xiaobai's condition, mentioning the strange episode on the beach with his jumbled memory and unusual sexual desire. Baiye didn't seem surprised at all, as if he had expected this situation. Moyao asked, "What’s going on"

Baiye replied, "It's normal. I planned to tell you later but he reacted faster than expected. Xiaobai occasionally experiences memory confusion due to forcibly suppressing his memories. Once a person's memories are stored in their consciousness, they’re hard to eliminate completely. Even Ye Wei’s washed-away memory was recoverable back then; it’s the same principle now. By deliberately confusing himself, Xiaobai can forget certain periods of time and replace them with others. This is due to psychological trauma where he doesn’t want to remember anything painful, choosing parts of his memory that could be replaced by a fabricated story to believe in more easily. But these memories still exist; when triggered, they come out, only to hide again once the trigger is gone. As for sexual...

Baiye rubbed his nose helplessly, admitting he was also at a loss, "This is one of the aftereffects caused by drugs; it might take complete detoxification before recovery. It's my first time encountering such a case and I'm really caught off guard."

Moyao narrowed his eyes, asking, "When will this abnormal sexual reaction occur"

Baiye shrugged helplessly, saying, "It depends on Xiaobai’s mood; I don’t know.

"Did he have an episode In the detox room" Mo Yue pressed for more information.

Bai Ye, "..."

Moe Yue continued, "So that's why Uncle Su Man was unhappy"

Bai Ye, rarely feeling awkward in his life, felt a flush rising to his cheeks. Mo Yue thought this matter was thunderously shocking; Bai Ye explained, "The situation isn't what you think it is, Mo Yue. Xiao Bai to me is like a child, and I've always treated both of you as my children. So you should understand that the relationship between us is akin to that between father and son or doctor and patient. During that period, Xiao Bai couldn’t make any mistakes, we had to help him get through this tough time. Of course, I wouldn't let Su Man come since he would be triggered by your presence."

"I understand."

Bai Ye felt his explanation wasn't sufficient; Mo Yue seemed thoughtful and asked, "Does that mean it’s abnormal"

“Is normal supposed to look like this” Bai Ye countered.

Moe Yue nodded. Bai Ye suddenly looked lecherously at Mo Yue's lips and said, “Hey, kid, did you two do it”

Moe Yue was lost in thought about other things; distracted by Bai Ye’s question, he gave a noncommittal grunt. Bai Ye pointed at him with wide eyes, "Hey, is it really okay to deal with Xiao Bai like this"

He assumed Mo Bai must have taken the initiative and was very enthusiastic about it, but this thought was quite unsettling for him. Though he was grateful to the heavens that Moe Yue had been given this task instead of himself, Bai Ye worried about Mo Bai's body.

Moe Yue realized what he had said, his face flushed red as he hastily explained, "It’s not like you think, I didn’t…"

Bai Ye looked at his lips with an ambiguous expression; Moe Yue felt that asking him about this was a stupid thing to do. Bai Ye leered even more lasciviously, “So afterwards, he forgot everything”

Moe Yue nodded, and Bai Ye said, "That’s normal."

Moe Yue felt extremely aggrieved; what situation would be deemed abnormal in your eyes

White Night said, "Do you have any more questions I need to continue researching the detoxification regimen for Little White."

Moyao asked, "Will this condition persist until he is completely detoxified"

"It should."

"What do you mean by 'it should' Your tone as a doctor really makes one feel depressed. It's always 'should,' 'probably,' 'trying my best...' White Night said, "I can't give you a specific answer. I can only say that if there are no unexpected incidents, it will be like this. We'll have to do another test when he is completely free from his addiction."

Moyao still had one thing unclear, "You said encountering a trigger would cause him to recover his memory and sexual desire, so who triggered him"

Moyao vaguely knew the answer but did not want to accept it. White Night sighed, "Moyao, why ask Apart from you, who else could there be"

"In that case, if he doesn't want to see me and doesn’t want to be around me because he feels burdened and stressed, is this what caused his reaction" Moyao asked in a bitter tone. White Night shook his head and said, "You can look at the situation from another angle. I can assure you that during this period, Little White was the most genuine version of himself that you've seen. You won’t have such opportunities to see him again, so enjoy your time together while it lasts. This is the real him. Once he recovers completely, his thoughts will be more complicated and you won't see this side of him anymore. Or if his memories return, the impact during this period might cause feelings of isolation and self-loathing. His personality may change significantly. You'll need to spend much more time helping him overcome the psychological trauma from this period, even then he won’t be as straightforward and sincere."

Moyao didn't quite understand White Night's words. White Night said meaningfully, "This kind of thing can only be understood but not spoken about. You need to experience it yourself."

For the whole day, Moyao was uneasy in his thoughts. When Shiyi asked him what he was worried about, Moyao shook his head and didn’t want to say much. He usually told Shiyi everything, but for this matter, he really couldn't figure out how to express his thoughts.

Shiyi said, "What did White Night tell you Is it related to Little White"

Moyao shook his head again. In the evening, Ink Little White came over to sleep with Moyao. Ever since that night, he had run to Moyao's room every time to sleep together. Moyao was very careful not to stimulate him and avoid triggering any sexual desire. He dressed himself up tightly and worked in a serious manner as if he were a devout believer who abstained from all worldly desires. The first three nights of Ink Little White were quite normal.

Therefore, Moyao felt relieved; he thought maybe he was overthinking things. Ink Little White’s abnormal sexual desire wasn’t happening at any time and place. However, that night when Moyao was working at his desk, Ink Little White got bored and asked him to come to bed. Moyao closed the computer and took out a book to read. As they were chatting, Ink Little White suddenly turned pale, clutching his head in pain; he often suffered from headaches which would flare up frequently. Moyao threw down the book and grabbed his hand to prevent him from hurting himself. But Ink Little White waved away his hands as if he saw hallucinations, a terrible scene from prison reappearing before his eyes. He conveyed this fear through body language. Clearly, Moyao was the best person for helping him alleviate his pain at the moment.

He urgently clung to Moyao like that day on the beach and in the car; Moyao didn't know what had triggered Ink Little White but knew only that Little White felt very uncomfortable, just as he did that day, desperately seeking relief. His strength was great and his determination unwavering.

Moyao held him tightly, trying to talk to him to divert his attention. It didn’t work; so at last Moyao kissed him, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let me help you..."r a large-scale wedding. Let's have it in Rome within the next two months. That way, Wu Shuang won’t look bad in her wedding dress. Although I don’t mind either way, girls generally want their one-tim...
