MRFD Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Because of this handkerchief that never existed, Rong Yi ushered in the second sweet date of his life.

Just like no one mentioned it the last time, this time no one questioned why going to the cinema was necessary to return a handkerchief.

Rong Yi sat in the dark hall with a bucket of popcorn in his arms, his mind not at all on the screen.

He was secretly calculating how to make their hands touch in a more appropriate way, given Chen Ke Yao’s frequency of grabbing popcorn.

Then he realized that he just needed to put his hand in and not move. Waiting for the rabbit is the most convenient.

Chen Ke Yao tilted his head slightly as the sound system accompanied the helicopter on the screen with a huge roar, and whispered in his ear, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

But at the same time, his hand didn’t let go at all, still holding the tips of Rong Yi’s fingers.

Rong Yi didn’t say a word.

He was wooden all over, stiff, and motionless. The only thing full of vitality and passionately jumping up and down was the heart in his chest. It thumped and thumped violently, making Rong Yi dizzy.

By the time Chen Ke Yao finally withdrew his hand from the popcorn bucket, the roaring sound of the helicopter still lingered in Rong Yi’s mind.

He secretly lowered his head and looked at his fingers, which still carried some of Chen Ke Yao’s body temperature.

Okay, now, he could be considered to have held an Alpha’s hand.

This was so insignificant, yet it was a huge achievement in his life.

Then, according to this progress, next time it could be a hug, and the next time it could be a kiss.

Soon, he could usher in a wonderful life, sometimes twice, sometimes three times a day.

Then marriage.

Eventually growing old together with many children and grandchildren.

Rong Yi grabbed a handful of popcorn, stuffed it into his mouth, and crunched it, his mind constantly bubbling.

When he came out of the cinema, Rong Yi secretly glanced at the Alpha beside him, whom he had secretly decided to spend the rest of his life with countless times, and the urge to confess his feelings took hold again.

“By the way,” Chen Ke Yao suddenly said, “I forgot to give you your handkerchief last time.”

Oh, there was that. Even if it was an excuse, it would be a little strange not to mention it at all.

Rong Yi quickly shook his head: “It doesn’t matter.”

But then he saw Chen Ke Yao actually reach into his pocket, and then took out a small paper bag and handed it to him.

Rong Yi was full of question marks.

There really was a handkerchief? But he hadn’t dropped one at all, could it be that Chen Ke Yao was deliberately finding an excuse to give him a gift? That was too romantic!

Rong Yi excitedly took it, carefully opened it, and then was stunned.

Inside the paper bag was indeed a folded handkerchief.

It had a white background, printed with rabbits and many many carrots, pink and cute.

Rong Yi stared blankly at the handkerchief.

“Is it yours?” Chen Ke Yao asked.

Rong Yi was speechless. Even with his toes, he should know which of the two people who had been in his car that day was more likely to be the owner of this handkerchief, right?

“I don’t have Lolo’s contact information,” Chen Ke Yao said, “so I asked you first.”

So it was Rong Yi’s turn to be embarrassed.

What a magical coincidence, why was Lolo so careless?

Now it was alright, he was the only one who had lied. Now that things had come to this, was there any other way to go besides biting the bullet and admitting that it was his?

Rong Yi nodded painfully: “Yes, it’s mine.”

Chen Ke Yao couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw this.

“I was worried at first that I might have made a mistake,” he looked at Rong Yi, “after all, the style looks a bit… out of character.”

Rong Yi knew it too well. The effect of him taking out such a handkerchief was as if the head teacher suddenly started pole dancing at the flag-raising ceremony.

Rong Yi, who actually liked these cute little things in his heart but never bought them because he knew they weren’t suitable for him, couldn’t help but feel a little down.

“That…” Chen Ke Yao suddenly said again, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh at you. I’m just a little happy.”

“Happy?” Rong Yi was puzzled.

“I’ve always wanted to know more about you,” Chen Ke Yao said, “but you’re not very willing to talk about your own things.”

“…”

Rong Yi felt dizzy instantly after understanding his hidden meaning.

“Okay, now I’ve returned the handkerchief to you,” Chen Ke Yao looked at him, “then… if I can’t find another excuse next time, and I ask you out again, would you still be willing to go?”

Rong Yi took a deep breath, and then blurted out: “What exactly is your purpose?”

If he really was a liar, then please try to seduce him first, okay?

As soon as he said this, he realized that something was wrong. Because he was afraid of saying something wrong under too much excitement, he had stubbornly held back until now, but he still failed. Rong Yi cursed himself severely in his heart, and then carefully looked at Chen Ke Yao, and found that the other party’s expression had indeed become awkward.

“Sorry,” Chen Ke Yao smiled at Rong Yi very stiffly, then slowly walked forward, “I…”

He said “I” for a long time, but no more words came out.

Rong Yi was panicked, afraid that he would announce that he was giving up on him, and quickly caught up to try to remedy the situation.

“Are you trying to pursue me?” he asked loudly.

Chen Ke Yao quickened his pace forward, without looking back or saying a word.

Damn, this person, so tall, was too fragile.

In a moment of desperation, Rong Yi simply reached out and grabbed Chen Ke Yao’s wrist.

When the other party turned around in surprise, he suddenly became nervous again.

“I, that, I… I’ll treat you to a meal!” he said.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The two of them sat face to face at the dining table, and Chen Ke Yao, who had always taken the initiative to start and guide the conversation, had been silent all along, so Rong Yi had to rack his brains to try to salvage the atmosphere.

He didn’t quite understand why Chen Ke Yao would suddenly be so abnormal. He had indeed misspoke just now, but it shouldn’t have caused him such a serious blow. It seemed that the perfect Alpha in his mind was actually quite delicate inside.

When you like someone, you find all their flaws to be cute, especially since it was his own fault for saying the wrong thing in the first place. Rong Yi made up his mind to try hard to make amends.

“Sorry, I just…”

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

“It’s okay,” Chen Ke Yao forced a smile at him, “It’s my problem. You don’t have to force yourself.”

Rong Yi suddenly felt a strong sense of disharmony in his heart.

Seeing him frown and not say a word, Chen Ke Yao continued, “You don’t have to feel guilty, it’s normal to feel uncomfortable. I…”

Rong Yi quickly shook his head: “I’m not uncomfortable!”

Chen Ke Yao looked at him.

“I’m very happy that you asked me to meet,” Rong Yi said, summoning up his courage despite being nervous, “If you’re willing, I hope that in the future we can often… that is… like this…”

Or even further.

Chen Ke Yao was still looking at him.

“I’m just a little incredulous,” Rong Yi lowered his gaze, “Mr. Chen, you’re so outstanding, why would you be interested in someone like me…”

As he spoke, he secretly raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Chen Ke Yao’s face was full of surprise, but his lips were curved in a smile. Such an expression could be called a surprise, right?

“I was worried that I was being too impatient,” he looked at Rong Yi, and said very seriously, “Those two sentences just now should have been what I wanted to say.”

So when they walked out of the restaurant, they were holding hands.

It was actually a bit strange for two people who both looked like they were exuding Alpha pheromones to walk together in such an intimate manner. But not only did Rong Yi not want to hide it, he even wanted to show off to everyone who passed by.

He felt like he was walking on a road full of flowers, with countless naked little angels lining the road, playing music with deep affection.

“Still feel a little unbelievable.”

For a moment, Rong Yi was a little dazed as to why his inner thoughts were being spoken out in Chen Ke Yao’s voice, and after a while, he realized that it was indeed this Alpha holding his hand who was speaking.

“I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly,” Chen Ke Yao continued, “I’m even a little… at a loss now.”

Rong Yi almost suspected that he was deliberately saying these words to make him happy.

But Chen Ke Yao’s appearance was particularly serious: “I’m really very happy.”

Rong Yi was completely intoxicated.

“Me too,” he said.

On the way back, he sat in Chen Ke Yao’s passenger seat, his mind full of illusions.

He actually had a boyfriend.

He, who had been single since birth, had never received any Alpha’s favor, broke up as soon as he confessed his feelings, and had even been tacitly approved by his parents as someone who wouldn’t be able to marry, actually had a boyfriend.

And the other party was such an outstanding person, meeting all his expectations for the perfect Alpha.

Happiness came so suddenly that it caught him off guard.

Was this really not a dream?

Rong Yi secretly reached out and pinched his thigh, and felt pain that made him dance with joy.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the residential complex again, Rong Yi finally mustered up his courage after getting out of the car.

“Thank you for taking me back,” he said nervously, not daring to look at the other party, “You’ve come several times… do you want to come up to my place and sit for a while?”

Chen Ke Yao was stunned for a moment.

“…My place is a bit messy,” Rong Yi nervously tugged at the seam of his pants, “Don’t mind it.”

As he was speaking, he regretted it a little.

At this time, how could it be just inviting someone up to sit for a while? It was obvious that he was thinking about some more terrible things in his heart.

As an Omega, was he acting a little too thirsty?

“Of course I don’t mind,” Chen Ke Yao looked about as nervous as he was, “If you don’t mind, I…”

Before he could finish speaking, the phone in his pocket rang.

After the two of them stared at each other in silence for a while, the Alpha, who looked depressed, reached out and answered the phone.

Although he deliberately walked a few steps away, it was quiet all around, and Rong Yi could still easily hear Chen Ke Yao’s “Dad” when he answered the phone and the next sentence “Why are you here?”

It was over, he was done for.

All his vulgar fantasies, temporarily unrealizable.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ke Yao’s face was full of regret.

“…I have to go back.”

“Oh,” Rong Yi nodded, “Good night, drive safe.”

But the person standing in front of him didn’t move. Chen Ke Yao didn’t speak, nor did he leave, just looking at him with a hesitant expression.

Rong Yi also looked at Chen Ke Yao.

As the skin on his cheeks gradually warmed up, he suddenly understood.

So, while forcibly suppressing the violent beating of his heart, he silently closed his eyes.

After that, a warm breath approached him as expected.

The soft touch on his lips and the faint pheromones in his breath exploded in his mind.
