MRFD Chapter 19
by VolareRong Yi swayed behind him for a while, then stepped forward and squatted down beside him.
He reached out and patted Chen Ke Yao’s back, “Are you drunk?”
Chen Ke Yao finally stopped, wiped his mouth, and looked up at Rong Yi.
His expression was very complicated, but he didn’t say anything.
Rong Yi squinted at him, “Hey, do you want me to help you up?”
He didn’t wait for Chen Ke Yao to answer after asking, and suddenly stood up. But just as he stretched out his hand, the whole world suddenly spun. Rong Yi staggered all the way, seeing that he was about to lose his balance and fall on his butt, when he was suddenly pulled.
“Didn’t you say you were going to help me?” Chen Ke Yao looked at him, laughing and crying, “Where are you going?”
Rong Yi woke up the next day and it was almost afternoon.
The feeling of a hangover was very uncomfortable. His head was especially heavy, dizzy, and faintly aching.
After opening his eyes, he stared at the ceiling for a long time before remembering that he seemed to have brought someone back yesterday. But now he looked around the room, and there was no one else.
Just as he was wondering, the doorknob was carefully turned open. Someone tiptoed in half a step, then relaxed their movements after making eye contact with him.
Zhou Li smiled at him, then turned to the door and shouted, “He’s finally awake!”
“…Who are you talking to?” Rong Yi asked.
Zhou Li walked over to the chair beside the bed and sat down, “Your roommate.”
There were two bathrooms in the house, one in Chen Ke Yao’s room and the other connected to the living room hallway. Rong Yi’s room did not have a private bathroom.
Zhou Li said that he woke up near noon and desperately wanted to go to the bathroom to wash up, but after waiting for a long time, Rong Yi was still sound asleep, so he groped his way out.
The bathroom wasn’t hard to find, but he didn’t have any tools, so he could only rinse his mouth with water and wipe his face with a tissue.
“As a result, as soon as I pushed the door open, I saw a person in the living room, which scared me!” Zhou Li said, gesturing on his face, “So tall, with such a fierce expression, and such a long scar on his face!”
“Pfft—”
Rong Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
Chen Ke Yao, when he didn’t say anything and slightly frowned, did look a bit stern. But not long ago, he couldn’t be associated with the word “fierce”.
It was just that he had recently suffered a bit of an injury on his face, which had just scabbed over. Since the gauze was removed, a dark red scar crossed half of his face, which was extremely conspicuous. Coupled with his appearance and physique, he was only missing a gold chain to look like a mafia boss.
For Zhou Li, who was already prejudiced against Alphas, he was truly a fierce god.
Rong Yi finished laughing and was about to explain a few words for Chen Ke Yao, when he heard Zhou Li say again, “But your roommate is actually really nice!”
It turned out that after the two of them stared at each other for a while, this scarred big brother suddenly asked him if he needed a toothbrush.
After that, Chen Ke Yao brought him a disposable toothbrush and face towel, and even helped him order a portion when he ordered breakfast.
“We even chatted for a while after eating together,” Zhou Li said, “This person is quite interesting to talk to, it’s really true that you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
Rong Yi suddenly became worried, “You wouldn’t have taken a fancy to him, would you?”
“What?” Zhou Li was stunned, shaking his head violently, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
“…I rarely hear you praise an Alpha like this,” Rong Yi looked at him suspiciously, “So many Alphas have pursued you, and there should be many who have been attentive to you, right?”
“It feels different. I feel that he obviously doesn’t have any thoughts about me,” Zhou Li said, “So it’s especially comfortable to get along with him. Some people are too deliberately nice to you, and you can tell at a glance that they have an ulterior motive, which feels very awkward.”
Rong Yi hesitated for a while, “Just in case, I’ll remind you, don’t ever…”
“Hahahaha,” Zhou Li suddenly laughed, “I know, he said he’s not interested in Omegas, he only likes Alphas.”
Rong Yi could tell that they really had a good conversation.
Zhou Li seemed a little strange, he might just hate the feeling of being pursued. Rong Yi suspected that the reason he was a little obsessed with him was because he was rejected so thoroughly in that pick-up attempt.
If he encountered someone who accepted him happily and was extremely proactive, he would probably have been discarded like a worn-out shoe long ago.
For a moment, Rong Yi forgot that he was also a perennial singleton and began to worry about Zhou Li. If things continued like this, this person would probably never find a partner.
Just as he was worrying, Zhou Li suddenly lowered his voice and asked mischievously, “Hey, I’m going to ask you a question, you have to answer me honestly.”
Rong Yi was alert, “Tell me what it is first.”
“Do you…have any thoughts about your roommate?” Zhou Li asked.
Rong Yi almost had a conditioned reflex in an instant, and his voice was several times louder than before when he opened his mouth, “Of course not!”
Zhou Li was startled by him, “If not, then not, what are you getting so excited about?”
Rong Yi looked away, “I’d rather all the Alphas in the world die than have feelings for him.”
Zhou Li didn’t speak, just stared at him.
Rong Yi felt guilty, “What are you doing?”
“It shouldn’t be,” Zhou Li said, “Is there something wrong with you? You can have feelings for that fat jerk, but you don’t have any feelings for an Alpha like your roommate? Are you judging beauty or judging ugliness?”
What was going on? He had only slept a few hours more, how did it feel like the guy in front of him had already betrayed him?
“I don’t mean anything else, I just think…didn’t you say you were troubled by not being able to find a partner? It just so happens that he likes Alphas, then actually you and Alphas look pretty similar, right?”
“…”
Rong Yi was extremely embarrassed.
“I’m just thinking about it this way. Anyway, you won’t consider Omegas, so instead of running into walls everywhere and taking a fancy to that fat jerk, why not find an Alpha like your roommate? I think you guys are quite a match, but if you’re not interested, then there’s no way.”
This wasn’t a question of whether he was interested or not. But that old debt, Rong Yi was still unable to bring himself to mention, so he simply didn’t explain any further.
“That…” Zhou Li licked his lips, “I’m sorry, I was a little nosy. When he asked me what my relationship was with you, I wanted to see what his attitude was towards you, so I lied and said you were my boyfriend.”
Rong Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn’t help but ask, “…What was his reaction?”
“He praised you a lot, saying you’re pretty good, and told us to get along well,” Zhou Li chuckled, “If you don’t want to be misunderstood, we can find a chance to explain it later.”
Zhou Li didn’t realize that his suggestion made Rong Yi a little unable to step down.
Although his relationship with Chen Ke Yao seemed normal now, that past between them was still a hurdle in his heart. Even if it was just bluffing, he didn’t want anyone to think that he still had a good impression of Chen Ke Yao.
Therefore, he couldn’t even bring himself to explain this misunderstanding.
To go and tell Chen Ke Yao specifically, I’m not that kind of relationship with him, don’t misunderstand, how strange would that be?
Just as he was focusing on his entanglement, there was a sudden knock on the door.
“Aren’t you hungry?” Chen Ke Yao poked half his head in from outside, “There’s still an egg pancake, do you want to eat it? I’ll help you heat it up.”
Rong Yi didn’t want to eat such greasy things as egg pancakes.
He already had no appetite from the hangover, and now his mood was also starting to drop. After he finished washing up and walked to the kitchen, he felt nauseous as soon as he smelled the food.
Chen Ke Yao heated an egg pancake in the microwave, looking quite smug, and thrust it in front of him, “Eat, eat.”
Rong Yi took it and put it aside, then opened the refrigerator, wanting to see if there was any other food.
“You’re not going to eat it?” Chen Ke Yao was very disappointed.
“Where’s the yogurt I bought the day before yesterday?” Rong Yi turned to look at him, “It was on the door, did you drink it?”
Chen Ke Yao was stunned, “…Ah.”
Rong Yi frowned, “My stomach is a little uncomfortable, I can’t eat this.”
The yogurt thief Chen Ke Yao was very ashamed, “Then I’ll go buy you a box now.”
He finished speaking and walked towards the door. Before Rong Yi could stop him, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
“Now? Yeah… okay, how long until you get here? Okay. Hey, wait, wait, can you help me bring up a can of yogurt when you pass by the convenience store downstairs? Yeah, right… wait a moment…” Chen Ke Yao said, turning to look at Rong Yi, “Is there anything else you want?”
Rong Yi asked him with his mouth, “Your friend?”
“It’s Liu Yuan,” Chen Ke Yao said, “So you don’t have to be polite.”
It seemed that because an old friend from Chen Ke Yao’s dormitory had returned to his hometown a while ago, he had brought back a lot of local specialties. He gave Liu Yuan the portion for Chen Ke Yao and asked him to help deliver it when he had time.
After Rong Yi heard this, he felt inexplicably awkward.
He heard that Chen Ke Yao chased after two of the four people in his dormitory back then, and he could still maintain a close friendship with his roommates, which was really incredible. Maybe all the big-hearted Alphas in their school happened to be in the same dormitory.
Hearing that friends of these two were coming, Zhou Li took the initiative to say goodbye and planned to leave.
Rong Yi wanted to keep him for dinner, but Zhou Li said he felt uncomfortable from not showering last night and wanted to go back to change his clothes quickly. Although they were both Omegas, Rong Yi and he were too different in size, so he couldn’t even borrow his clothes.
Rong Yi sent him to the elevator door. While the elevator hadn’t come yet and Chen Ke Yao wasn’t around, Zhou Li secretly whispered to him.
“Tell me, how can two Alphas be together? When they get intimate, wouldn’t they feel very painful?”
Alphas have an instinctive resistance to the Pheromones of the same sex, this is common sense. So, in theory, if two Alphas want to be together for a long time, it can only be platonic.
Rong Yi really didn’t know much about this, “How would I know…”
“So an Omega like you is the most perfect existence for him, right!” Zhou Li said.
“Why are you suddenly so…”
“No, just saying,” Zhou Li curled his lips, “I think he’s pretty good. Rather than watching you mess around, it’s better…”
As the two were talking, the elevator door opened.
There was someone standing in the door.
“Rong Yi, did you come to pick me up?”
Liu Yuan walked out with two plastic bags, smiling. Then, when he shifted his gaze to the person in front of him, he was suddenly stunned.
“Then I’ll go?” Zhou Li turned around and waved to Rong Yi, walking into the elevator.
Just as he reached out to press the button for the ground floor, Liu Yuan, who had just walked out of the elevator, instantly darted back in.
“Where are you going? Ground floor, right? Come on, I’ll help you press it!”
