Chapter 27

    It’s highly probable that the person who posted that thread wasn’t Chen Ke Yao. But Rong Yi couldn’t help but project himself into it, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, so he took it out on Chen Ke Yao.

    After all, from his perspective, he wasn’t really in a position to criticize others for being hung up on gender. Because he only liked Alphas, and specifically male Alphas. Usually, even if a female Alpha was tall and strong, she would inevitably seem petite in front of him, lacking the first element of apengran xindong, a sudden feeling of excitement and happiness when falling in love.

    Rong Yi’s awareness of being an Omega was very strong, and he very much hoped that he could be a delicate, dependent partner. Even if reality forced him to spread his wings like a roc, at least they should fly wing-to-wing.

    After posting, he refreshed the page a while later and found that his account had been banned from posting for a day because of “digging up an old thread.” And the thread he had dug up had also been locked.

    This forum has too much nonsense, a ton of inexplicably strange rules. No wonder the people in it have trouble with their relationships.

    Rong Yi angrily closed it.

    Sweet and sour pork ribs were originally Rong Yi’s specialty. But he spent the entire afternoon lying in bed, tossing and turning, thinking this and that. Later, in order to control his chaotic thoughts, he simply started reading a novel. By the time he realized it, it was already a bit late.

    The ribs were still quick-frozen in the refrigerator, and if he took them out now, there probably wouldn’t be enough time for them to thaw naturally.

    Rong Yi rushed to the kitchen and found that the big package of ribs he had bought was already in the sink. Rong Yi was silent for a moment, then returned to the living room and shouted at Chen Ke Yao’s room, “Did you take the ribs out?”

    Chen Ke Yao’s door immediately opened, and a smug face peeked out: “Otherwise? Is there anyone else in this house?”

    “Five pounds!” Rong Yi said, “You took them all out, can you eat that much?”

    After he finished speaking, before Chen Ke Yao could react, he returned to the kitchen.

    A moment later, after he had wrapped up the extra ribs and put them back in the refrigerator, the kitchen door behind him opened.

    Chen Ke Yao poked his head in.

    Rong Yi glanced at him, then turned back to continue busying himself: “Something up?”

    “Nothing,” Chen Ke Yao walked in, “Can’t I just wander around the kitchen in my own home if I have nothing to do?”

    Rong Yi didn’t respond.

    Chen Ke Yao wandered behind him for a while, then opened his mouth again and said, “Why do I feel like you particularly dislike me now?”

    “Really?” Rong Yi lowered his head, concentrating on dealing with the scallions, ginger, and garlic in front of him.

    “Yesterday really was an accident,” Chen Ke Yao said, “I’m rarely like that.”

    Rong Yi finally turned his head to look at him: “Didn’t you say all this while sitting on the sofa yesterday?”

    “…” Chen Ke Yao shifted his gaze, “This is more important, it can be reviewed several times.”

    It was especially hard to hold back a laugh.

    Rong Yi could only twist his head to face him with the back of his head: “Alright, I know, you can leave.”

    But Chen Ke Yao didn’t leave. He hung around behind Rong Yi for a while, then, seeming very unwilling to be lonely, said, “Need any help?”

    “No need,” Rong Yi shook his head, “You wouldn’t know how.”

    “But I’m a little embarrassed to just eat every day.”

    “You paid for it.”

    “Oh,” Chen Ke Yao nodded, “…That’s right.”

    “Stop wandering around,” Rong Yi raised his foot and gently kicked him on the calf, “Get out of here.”

    “You’re saying I’m getting in the way.”

    Rong Yi looked at him: “You’re just realizing that?”

    Chen Ke Yao was speechless. After holding it in for a while, he could only shrug, pretending not to care. Just as he was about to turn around and walk out, Rong Yi’s cell phone, which was placed on the edge of the counter, suddenly rang.

    Rong Yi was handling food, his hands were a bit dirty, and it wasn’t convenient to answer.

    “See, you still need help after all!”

    Chen Ke Yao said as he picked up his cell phone for him, then suddenly froze.

    Rong Yi glanced at the screen and immediately felt a little embarrassed. The wallpaper on his phone was the picture that Zhang had sent him before. Every day, opening his cell phone to see his idol’s photo made him feel happy and satisfied, but now that it was suddenly discovered by someone else, he couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

    When Chen Ke Yao frowned slightly, he quickly urged, “It’s my colleague calling, quickly press the answer button for me.”

    Chen Ke Yao pressed the answer button for him and helped him hold the phone to his ear, then stood beside him quietly, listening as he finished the entire work call.

    It was originally just a small matter that could be explained in a few words.

    When the call ended, Chen Ke Yao didn’t immediately put his cell phone back in its place, but stared at his cell phone’s desktop for a few more seconds.

    Rong Yi felt increasingly embarrassed. To prevent Chen Ke Yao from misunderstanding, he decided to explain.

    “This is…”

    “It’s Mo Yufei,” Chen Ke Yao finally put down his cell phone, “You like him?”

    Since Chen Ke Yao recognized him, that made things easier.

    Rong Yi smiled at him: “Let me introduce you, this is my husband.”

    “…” Chen Ke Yao rolled his eyes and left.

    This guy, even though his orientation is also Alpha, is so dismissive of Rong Yi’s dream lover, such a handsome man, which is really annoying.

    Rong Yi was still brooding about it even at the dinner table.

    “Don’t you think Mo Yufei is very handsome?” He excitedly introduced him to Chen Ke Yao, “Have you seen his previous movie, called…”

    “It’s alright.” Chen Ke Yao lowered his head to gnaw on a rib, “Ah, this is delicious, I give it a 95. Five points deducted because the chef talks too much.”

    “…”

    “What are you looking at me for?” Chen Ke Yao picked up another piece, “If you don’t eat, I’m going to finish it all.”

    “I really didn’t expect that even if you like the same sex, you’ll still feel jealous when you see an Alpha who’s better looking than you?”

    Chen Ke Yao was stunned: “You think he’s better looking than me?”

    “Isn’t that obvious?” Rong Yi said.

    “That’s true,” Chen Ke Yao curled his lips, “I’m a living person, I don’t wear heavy makeup, and I don’t edit my photos.”

    A recently popular term suddenly popped into Rong Yi’s head: straight Alpha cancer.

    He didn’t expect that Chen Ke Yao, who was clearly gay, would also have this disease.

    “Ugly,” Rong Yi shook his head and sighed, “Too ugly.”

    “Please, not all revulsion is because of jealousy, okay,” Chen Ke Yao seemed genuinely unhappy, “Even if I like Alphas, I have some standards. It’s not like you, who casually likes anyone who looks alright…”

    “Just what?”

    Chen Ke Yao glanced at him, then lowered his head to eat his rice without saying anything.

    “If you don’t like it, then you don’t like it,” Rong Yi was also a little unhappy, “Can you not resort to personal attacks at the drop of a hat?”

    Chen Ke Yao wanted to say something at this moment, but unfortunately, his mouth was full of rice, so he could only chew hard.

    “It’s fine if you criticize me, but you clearly know who I like and still attack him in front of me. Don’t you think that’s very rude?” Rong Yi continued.

    Chen Ke Yao finally swallowed all the rice and quickly drank a mouthful of soup.

    “Is that what you call an attack?”

    “You’re not attacking, you’re eating the food I made and inexplicably giving me a bad face.”

    “Fine, it’s my fault.” Chen Ke Yao shifted his gaze, but quickly added, “Anyway, you can only fantasize about him from afar, you’ll never see him in person in this lifetime. It doesn’t matter what he’s like.”

    “…”

    “What are you looking at me for again,” Chen Ke Yao said, “You eat your food.”

    “Eat my ass,” Rong Yi slammed the bowl down, “I lose my appetite just looking at you.”

    Rong Yi felt like he was completely full from anger.

    How could Chen Ke Yao be so annoying? The thief should have slashed his mouth along with his face.

    Originally, he didn’t want to pay attention to this guy anymore, but the next day, they still had to go out to dinner together. Same starting point, same time, same destination. Not going together would be too weird.

    The restaurant address that Zhou Li sent that morning made Rong Yi’s vision go dark. He had said yesterday that he would treat and pick the place, but he never expected that in the end, they would choose the restaurant where Rong Yi had his first date with Chen Ke Yao. If he wasn’t afraid of embarrassing Zhou Li, Rong Yi wouldn’t want to go there for anything.

    The atmosphere was very strange the whole way.

    Chen Ke Yao, who was driving, didn’t speak, and Rong Yi, who was sitting in the back seat, didn’t say a word.

    Perhaps to ease the awkwardness, Chen Ke Yao turned on the car radio. After a rustling sound, the female host’s voice came from the speakers.

    “Next, we’ll bring you Mo Yufei’s new song. This artist, who is familiar to everyone, has finally started cross-over attempts amid the expectations of fans…”

    Just as Rong Yi perked up his ears, Chen Ke Yao turned off the radio with a *smack*.

    The car was silent again.

    “…Neurotic.” Rong Yi muttered under his breath.

    Chen Ke Yao’s hand rested on the steering wheel, his fingers tapping rapidly on the edge of the steering wheel: “That’s what you call a personal attack, got it?”

    “What are you doing,” Rong Yi raised his voice, “Are you taking it personally?”

    Chen Ke Yao laughed with great disdain: “I don’t need to use that trick after graduating from elementary school.”

    Rong Yi was angry.

    Chen Ke Yao had been sarcastic since yesterday afternoon, it was simply inexplicable.

    He even suspected at one point that this person was secretly jealous, but on second thought, it didn’t seem like it. After all, Chen Ke Yao was also very friendly to Zhou Li. If it was really because he had other feelings for him, then the so-called lover should be the focus of hatred rather than the favorite idol, right?

    So, besides being angry, Rong Yi couldn’t help but feel curious.

    Could it be that he liked some other artist who was enemies with Mo Yufei, so there was a natural class opposition? That would be too childish.

    Unable to figure it out, Rong Yi finally couldn’t help but ask.

    “Are you against our Mo…”

    He was interrupted by Chen Ke Yao before he could finish speaking: “Wow, *our*.”

    “…”

    Rong Yi felt that calling him neurotic wasn’t a personal attack, but a statement of fact.

    In his anger, he simply changed his way of expressing himself: “Do you have a problem with my husband?”

    So a good question turned into an argument, and Chen Ke Yao simply ignored him.

    It wasn’t until they were near their destination that Chen Ke Yao suddenly took the initiative to speak.

    “I’m asking you, besides his face, what other advantages do you think this person has?”

    “Isn’t being handsome enough?” Rong Yi said, “I’m not going to live with him.”

    “Then why did you get angry when I said you were just fantasizing from afar?”

    “…”

    Rong Yi was so angry that he sat in his seat with his arms crossed and his feet shaking.

    But Chen Ke Yao seemed to not really want to argue with him this time.

    “Okay, I apologize,” his tone was sincere, but his wording was annoying, “Why bother making yourself unhappy over someone like that.”

    “What do you mean, ‘someone like that’?” Rong Yi bristled, “You apologize and still attack the person I like?”

    “My god, are you really going to argue with me for him?” Chen Ke Yao said, “If you like every handsome Alpha you see, would you have enough time?”

    “Where do I?” Rong Yi was unhappy, “Isn’t that a personal attack?”

    “Isn’t it?” Chen Ke Yao said, “You even went after Liu Yuan, didn’t you?”

    Rong Yi was stunned.

    Damn, what a big mouth!

    The author has something to say

    After Chen Teacher finished eating, he wiped the table, washed the dishes, and returned to his room. The more he thought about it, the more indignant he felt. He covered his scar and looked in the mirror, feeling that if you removed the photo editing and makeup, he was indeed more handsome.
