MRFD Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Chen Ke Yao seems to want to eat sparerib soup every day.

After having a combined breakfast and lunch, Rong Yi went to a hypermarket and bought a large pile of ribs, as well as a lot of yogurt and biscuit snacks. Chen Ke Yao goes to bed late, and always sneaks out to rummage through the refrigerator in the middle of the night. In order to ensure that his food would not be robbed halfway again, he felt it necessary to prepare more rations as a precaution. Anyway, the food expenses Chen Ke Yao gave him a while ago could not be spent with just spareribs.

Chen Ke Yao drove him there and back. But when he arrived, he didn’t get out of the car. When Rong Yi came back with the bags, he found him sitting in the driver’s seat playing with his phone.

Rong Yi couldn’t help but think of the forum he found last night, and the topic thread that he cared about the most.

After getting in the car, he pretended to ask casually, “What were you looking at just now?”

“Just looking around,” Chen Ke Yao turned the key. “You were pretty quick.”

Rong Yi tilted his head slightly to look at him, and then asked, “What’s your name online?”

Chen Ke Yao reacted strongly for some reason: “Why are you asking this suddenly?”

“Just thought of it and asked,” Rong Yi said, “What’s wrong, is it hard to say?”

The ID of the poster yesterday was “Seven Melons on One Vine,” which was a bit funny, but not too outrageous. It shouldn’t be to the point where he couldn’t say it.

Could it be that he’s afraid that after hearing it, I’ll go back and search for that post?

Rong Yi was suspicious, while Chen Ke Yao looked inexplicably nervous: “Do you already know?”

“What?” Rong Yi was a little excited.

“…Are you trying to trick me?” Chen Ke Yao looked ahead. “Do you really want to know what I do?”

“Huh?”

Rong Yi couldn’t figure it out for a moment. What does his online name have to do with his profession? Is Chen Ke Yao a keyboard warrior who transforms as soon as he turns on the computer?

Chen Ke Yao took the time to glance at him and smiled.

“It’s nothing, I’m just talking nonsense,” he said. “My online name is ‘Your Teacher Chen’.”

“…”

Rong Yi was very sure that this was nonsense. This person obviously breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that they were not talking about the same thing and started making things up.

Tricking people was really not Rong Yi’s forte. Even after the weekend passed and he returned to work, he still couldn’t get anything out of him.

His love life was stable but empty, but his career was smooth. The project was progressing very smoothly and was expected to be completed next week. As long as the Client Company didn’t make any unreasonable demands, everyone would be able to get a long-awaited vacation soon.

Everyone was highly motivated, especially Zhang. During the lunch break, she came to Rong Yi again, saying that after this busy period, in addition to taking a vacation, she also wanted to use her annual leave.

Many people would use their annual leave like this to get a longer vacation. After Rong Yi said that it shouldn’t be a problem, he casually asked, “Are you going on a trip?” and immediately received an excited look that said, “I’ve been waiting for you to ask!”

“I won a support club exclusive ticket to see Mo Yufei in C City!” She took out her phone to show Rong Yi the winning information. “I haven’t been to C City before, so I plan to make it a trip.”

Rong Yi was immediately envious.

The last time he passionately chased a star was almost ten years ago. Although he had liked many artists over the years, he lacked like-minded people around him, so he was never very invested.

Now, looking at this star-chasing girl in front of him, the long-dormant enthusiasm in Rong Yi’s chest reignited slightly.

“I want to go too…” he said.

“Did you forward the lottery draw before?” Zhang asked.

Rong Yi shook his head in shame. He didn’t even know there was a lottery draw.

“Did you join the support club?”

Rong Yi shook his head again. He really hadn’t paid attention to these things for too long.

“Then what’s the use of just thinking about it!” Zhang was very disdainful. “I’ve said it before, you don’t really love our Mo Mo at all!”

“Can you transfer this ticket? I’ll pay you!” Rong Yi said.

“Not for all the money in the world!” Zhang waved her hand heroically. “I’ll show you the pictures when I come back!”

Originally, Rong Yi was interested in such activities, but not so eager. But suddenly someone around him was going to the scene while he could only watch enviously, and that feeling was very different.

He reflected deeply and immediately went to fill out the membership application for the support club. He had a slight mental struggle when submitting the membership fee, after all, his financial situation was a bit tight at the moment. But maybe because he got through the most critical moment before too easily, it was really difficult to learn a lesson, so after a brief hesitation, Rong Yi still clicked to confirm.

People always need something to rely on spiritually. Anyway, if he can’t find a boyfriend, he’ll just treat chasing stars as chasing a husband.

After a busy week, near the weekend, he had to go to the Client Company again.

Rong Yi received a call from Zhou Li on the way. The other party’s voice sounded a little flustered, asking if he could temporarily help take care of his pet, just for a weekend. His grandma suddenly came over from his hometown, and the old lady was a little stubborn and old-fashioned, and couldn’t stand these things. If she saw his beloved pet, she would definitely be angry.

“MiMi is very well-behaved, you can just leave it there, give it water and food, and it will eat it by itself. It’s very easy to raise,” Zhou Li said. “Although it looks a little fierce, it’s actually very docile!”

When he said the last sentence, Chen Ke Yao’s face involuntarily appeared in Rong Yi’s mind.

So he nodded in agreement almost without hesitation.

Zhou Li said that his grandma would arrive tonight, so he had specially taken a leave of absence and wanted to send MiMi over now. After Rong Yi confirmed that it was easy to carry, he directly gave him the address of the Client Company. He didn’t have to go back to his own company after finishing his work today. He could just meet Zhou Li and take the pet home.

He realized something was wrong after hanging up the phone, so he sent a message to Zhou Li: “Your MiMi, it doesn’t seem to be a cat?”

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Li sent a terrifying picture.

In the picture, a black and shiny snake was wrapped around his snow-white, slender arm, making it look particularly thick and ferocious.

“Isn’t it cute!” Zhou Li said.

Rong Yi regretted it.

He felt that his and Zhou Li’s understanding of the word “cute” seemed to be a little different.

After seeing Liu Yuan at the Client Company, Rong Yi remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.

This person should still have some misunderstanding about him, so his attitude was also a little strange, and his whole person was absent-minded. Rong Yi was distressed that he didn’t know how to explain, so he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be completely unaware.

But after all, they used to have a good relationship, and it was uncomfortable for everyone to be so awkward.

After the handover of work came to an end, Rong Yi couldn’t help but start a conversation.

“Liu Yuan, what’s wrong with you today…”

Liu Yuan immediately sighed very exaggeratedly, looking distressed: “My Lightning is gone.”

“…Your what?”

“Lightning,” Liu Yuan reached out and pointed to his desk. “I put it on the desk, I don’t know which bastard helped me open the lid, and it was gone when I turned around. I was still looking for it before you came.”

Okay, so the reason he looked so strange wasn’t because he still held a grudge against him.

Rong Yi silently breathed a sigh of relief, then ran to take a look at the empty box on his desk, and felt that it looked a little familiar. It looked very similar to the box containing MiMi in the photo that Zhou Li sent him later.

He didn’t expect these two people to have such a common point. Rong Yi suddenly had the idea of ​​wanting to be a matchmaker.

But considering Zhou Li’s resistance to Liu Yuan, he forcibly swallowed the impulse.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly received a message from Zhou Li.

“So this is my uncle’s company, why didn’t you tell me earlier! I was caught by him!!!”

Rong Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

He really forgot about this.

It turned out that poor Zhou Li was holding his MiMi and just arrived downstairs wanting to contact Rong Yi, when he looked up and bumped into his bald jerk uncle.

The other party was very surprised, saying that you came at the right time, your Alpha is now in our company, hurry up and come up and sit down.

Zhou Li’s pet was not very popular with his elders. Fortunately, MiMi itself did not like light, so he covered the outside of the big box with a piece of cloth, so the contents could not be seen from the outside.

Now he was sitting in the Baldy’s office chatting awkwardly, and it was estimated that he would be summoned immediately after Rong Yi finished his work.

After Rong Yi learned about the situation in the message, he decided to take the initiative to save the damsel in distress.

He comforted Liu Yuan, who was still distressed about Lightning, made enough mental preparations, and then actively set off towards the Baldy’s office. When he reached the corner, he suddenly saw a black rope far away at the door of the Baldy’s office.

Rong Yi stopped, and then saw the thick rope move slightly.

That was indeed a snake.

Could this be the Lightning that Liu Yuan was looking for?

Just now, in order to appease him, Zhou Li had given him a lot of popular science. He said that although this kind of snake looked a bit scary, it was actually very gentle and introverted, rarely actively attacked humans, and was non-toxic, so it was a very safe pet snake.

But knowing it was safe in theory was useless. Seeing the shiny scales and the small forked tongue that it spat out from time to time, Rong Yi still got goosebumps all over his body.

He maintained a high level of tension and carefully moved two steps towards the black snake, then took a photo from a distance and sent it to Liu Yuan.

“Is this your Lightning?”

Half a minute later, he received a reply from Liu Yuan.

“Keep an eye on it! Don’t let it go! I’m coming!”

Rong Yi stood five meters away looking at the snake, feeling that if it insisted on leaving, he was afraid that he would not dare to stop it at all. He could only pray that it was indeed introverted and didn’t like to move around casually.

Half a minute later, Liu Yuan rushed over like lightning.

“Where’s Lightning, is it still there?” He said as he looked down at the ground, then exclaimed, “Oh my god!”

“You quickly pick it up,” Rong Yi said nervously.

He never expected that Liu Yuan was even more nervous than him: “What is this thing? Why is there a snake in the company? What does it want to do to my Lightning!”

“…Isn’t this your Lightning?”

“What are you joking about,” Liu Yuan pointed to a corner in front of the black snake with a pale face, “That’s my Lightning.”

Rong Yi looked over and found that there was indeed a trembling, plump little hamster on the ground.

Although Liu Yuan was also very flustered, he was still very brave when he saw that his beloved hamster was in danger. He found a mop from the corner of the aisle and carefully tried to poke the snake with it.

“You… you get out of the way…”

The mop shook wildly in the air along with Liu Yuan’s hand.

At this moment, Rong Yi suddenly realized something important.

“Wait a minute!” He grabbed Liu Yuan. “Don’t hit this snake!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the office door next to him suddenly opened.

“What are you arguing about?” The Baldy frowned and looked at them.

Zhou Li behind him also looked puzzled, tilting his head to explore. He soon followed Rong Yi’s gaze and spotted the black snake on the ground.

“MiMi!”

The moment he shouted this name, the black snake, which was said to be very docile, well-behaved, and introverted, suddenly leaped forward and bit the trembling little hamster in the corner, then began to swallow it into its mouth.

The little hamster tried to struggle at first, but soon, the two exposed little fat legs were motionless.

Everyone stood there in a daze. After a moment, the hamster completely disappeared from everyone’s eyes, and a large bulge appeared on the black snake’s neck.

“My Lightning!!!” Liu Yuan collapsed.
