MRFD Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Rong Yi finally witnessed how awkward an Alpha in courtship could be.

While pressing the elevator button, Liu Yuan displayed a confident and charming smile to Zhou Li, all while his mouth kept running.

“You’re Rong Yi’s friend, coming to see him, right? Leaving so soon? Why not stay a bit longer?”

Zhou Li’s expression was rather subtle: “…Are you coming down with me?”

“I…”

Zhou Li reached out and held the door open button: “If you’re not coming down, hurry up and get out.”

Liu Yuan, who was pushed out of the elevator, was still very excited.

He waved at the elevator until the doors were completely closed, then immediately grabbed Rong Yi’s shoulders and shook him vigorously: “This is the one from last time! The one from last time! And you told me you didn’t know him!”

“Stop shaking, stop shaking,” Rong Yi, still hungover, felt like he was about to throw up, “Speak properly…”

“Okay, okay,” Liu Yuan, trying to please him, was very obedient and immediately let go, “What’s his name? How old is he? Does he have any contact information? Oh, right, does he have a boyfriend?”

Rong Yi finally understood why Zhou Li said he found Alphas annoying. With someone like this in front of you, who wouldn’t be annoyed? Knowing Zhou Li, Liu Yuan’s actions just now had undoubtedly been a death sentence.

Just as he was hesitating about how to break the cruel news to him, Chen Ke Yao’s voice came from behind.

“Why are you standing there and not coming in?”

Liu Yuan bought him a can of yogurt and a small cake.

Rong Yi was just about to give him money, but saw this guy dramatically wave his hand: “You’re being so calculating with me over this little bit of money, you don’t treat me like a friend at all!”

After he said that, he saw Rong Yi frowning and quickly dragged a chair over for him: “What are you standing for! Here, sit!”

Before Rong Yi could say anything, Chen Ke Yao, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but speak up.

“What’s going on? Did Rong Yi catch you doing something?”

“Hehe,” Liu Yuan looked at Rong Yi with a flattering smile and rubbed his hands together, “Just give me the contact information for that cutie from earlier.”

Rong Yi awkwardly averted his gaze: “I have to ask for his opinion first.”

“What cutie?” Chen Ke Yao was very puzzled, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly understood, “You mean the one who just left, called Zhou Li, right?”

“His name is Zhou Li, what a nice name… how do you write it?” Liu Yuan asked.

Chen Ke Yao glanced at Rong Yi, who had a subtle expression but didn’t say anything, hesitated for a moment, then walked over and poked Liu Yuan on the forehead.

“Stop messing around, he’s Rong Yi’s boyfriend.”

“…What?” Liu Yuan was shocked, “You, you, you weren’t you with that Bald Jerk’s nephew?”

Rong Yi didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, “Could it be that he is that Bald Jerk’s nephew…?”

Unbelievable, this series of misunderstandings had actually pieced itself together.

Rong Yi looked at Liu Yuan and cautiously nodded.

Liu Yuan immediately wailed. Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Chen Ke Yao dragged him away.

Chen Ke Yao, while dragging him to his room, mouthed something to Rong Yi, telling him not to take it to heart.

Rong Yi felt like his lifetime quota for awkwardness was about to be used up in these two days.

After returning to his room, he tentatively asked Zhou Li on behalf of Liu Yuan. His so-called couple relationship with Zhou Li didn’t exist, so there was theoretically no reason to prevent his friend from pursuing true love.

Unfortunately, the result was just as he expected.

Zhou Li returned his message with a phone call.

“Oh my god, your friend is too typical, it’s the first time I’ve encountered someone so exaggerated! I have goosebumps all over!”

“So…”

“Definitely don’t give it to him!” Zhou Li shouted, “I’m begging you!”

Rong Yi wanted to laugh a little: “Okay, I got it. Chen Ke Yao told him you’re my boyfriend, I’ll use that to ward him off.”

Zhou Li seemed relieved and said goodbye to him, then suddenly sent another message after a while.

“I suddenly have an idea, I don’t know if I should ask.”

Rong Yi knew that generally when someone said something like that, their true thoughts were “I know I shouldn’t ask, but I really can’t help it, just listen.”

After Rong Yi indicated “Then just say it,” the second message quickly came over.

“Have you ever chased that idiot from earlier?”

Rong Yi was silent.

During the time he didn’t reply, Zhou Li sent him three consecutive messages.

“I can’t figure it out! What’s wrong with your roommate that’s worse than him?????”

“I suddenly feel especially, extremely, and incomparably relieved, even relieved, that you didn’t accept me.”

“I still can’t figure it out!”

Rong Yi frowned as he looked at his phone, and after a long while, he finally sent a reply.

“You’ll understand when you grow up.”

Seeming suitable and actually being able to be together were two different things.

Rong Yi had had too many meaningless unrequited loves in his life, but he had never been indispensable to anyone.

The things that happened between him and Chen Ke Yao were a bit more complicated than his other heartbreak stories, but that wasn’t anything special either. Just like he could be friends with Liu Yuan now without any feelings, he could also be temporary roommates with Chen Ke Yao calmly.

Chen Ke Yao was good. But since he didn’t like him, then he wouldn’t be the right person.

Giving up wasn’t a pity either.

Rong Yi felt that he was thinking very clearly.

Liu Yuan was staying for dinner.

Cooking was also one of Rong Yi’s interests, and having another mouth to feed meant he could try out more variations, so he was quite welcoming.

While he was busy in the kitchen, Chen Ke Yao suddenly walked in halfway through.

“What are we having for dinner?” He poked his head in from behind.

Rong Yi pointed to the semi-finished products on the counter: “Guess.”

Chen Ke Yao walked closer and looked at it for a while, but started talking about a completely unrelated topic.

“You and Zhou Li…”

Before he could finish, Rong Yi suddenly turned around: “What!”

“What are you getting so worked up about,” Chen Ke Yao said, “I didn’t want to say anything bad about him. I think he and you are quite suitable.”

Rong Yi suddenly felt a little funny.

Zhou Li also thought that he and Chen Ke Yao were quite suitable. Could this be a kind of alternative understanding between the two of them?

“Liu Yuan said that you two met on a blind date a while ago?”

What a big mouth.

“What exactly do you want to say?” Rong Yi frowned at him.

“Just asking casually,” Chen Ke Yao said, “Can’t I care about you?”

Rong Yi’s entire body language suddenly became vigilant.

“What are you doing,” Chen Ke Yao said helplessly, “I really don’t mean anything else. It’s just… look, we are now, at least considered… friends, right?”

Rong Yi looked at him and didn’t answer.

“Not considered?” Chen Ke Yao asked.

“Just say what you want to say directly.”

“I don’t have anything to say, I’m just asking casually,” Chen Ke Yao said, even raising his hand to touch his nose, “I was afraid you’d be bored being here alone, so I came to chat with you.”

“I’m not bored,” Rong Yi turned around with his back to him and continued to busy himself, “Don’t get in the way.”

“Okay.” Chen Ke Yao said, and actually turned around and left.

Rong Yi felt confused, completely unable to understand what this person had come to do.

As a result, this guy came back two minutes after going out.

“Right,” Chen Ke Yao’s tone was very different from before when he spoke this time, with a strange excitement, “I suddenly remembered something.”

As he said that, he walked to Rong Yi’s side with a smile on his face under Rong Yi’s puzzled gaze.

“Do you remember what happened last night?”

“…What happened?” Rong Yi asked.

“What happened after you got drunk, don’t you have any impression at all?” Chen Ke Yao asked.

His expression looked distorted, obviously trying hard to hold back his laughter.

“I wasn’t that drunk, was I?” Rong Yi looked at him warily, “I remember everything, I brought Zhou Li back and then went to the convenience store with you once, right?”

Chen Ke Yao’s expression became even more subtle. He licked his lips: “Then do you remember what you bought?”

“Oh… I seem to have drunk a bottle of cider as cola, right?” Rong Yi recalled for a while, “I really remember everything, I won’t have memory loss when I’m drunk, don’t try to make up a story to trick me.”

“Anything else?” Chen Ke Yao looked very interested.

“I remember you threw up.” Rong Yi said.

“…”

“After I accidentally bumped into you.”

“Cough,” Chen Ke Yao averted his gaze, “That doesn’t count. I… I was dizzy in the elevator. You also said yesterday that the elevator was especially shaky, right.”

Only a ghost would believe that.

Rong Yi rolled his eyes in his heart, and when he spoke again, his tone was even more disgusted: “Say what you have to say, don’t be wishy-washy, like an old lady.”

“You also bought a box of candy, remember?”

“Remember,” Rong Yi was speechless, “It was terribly unappetizing, I wanted to throw it away but you wouldn’t let me, so I gave it to you, right?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ke Yao suddenly burst out laughing again.

He covered his stomach and bent over, his whole body twitching, unable to stop or speak.

“What’s wrong with you,” Rong Yi was extremely puzzled, “Did your brain short-circuit?”

Chen Ke Yao started slapping his thighs hard again, and after a long while, he straightened up, then took out a paper box from his pocket while laughing.

He handed the box to Rong Yi and shook it: “Look what this is?”

Of course Rong Yi recognized it, although at first glance it looked like candy, it was actually a box of condoms.

The box had already been opened, and the packaging was painted with two fresh and juicy strawberries.

“Especially unappetizing,” Chen Ke Yao said.

“…”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone just tear open the package and shove it into their mouth to chew.”

“…”

“If you don’t believe me, you can open another one and try it now to see if it’s…”

Before he could finish speaking, an unnatural sound suddenly came from the door. The two of them subconsciously turned their heads at the same time and saw Liu Yuan standing at the kitchen door.

“Sorry, I… uh, am I disturbing you?” He retreated while saying, “You guys continue, continue.”

When they reacted, this guy had already disappeared.

Leaving the two people still standing in the kitchen, after being stunned for a while, they looked at each other, and then together turned their attention to the box of condoms in Chen Ke Yao’s hand.

Two people, one red-faced and the other teasing, were holding a box of strawberry-flavored condoms in their hands, and were still saying something like “open it now and try it.”

What would others think when they saw that?
