MRFD Chapter 31
by Volare“Is my voice still very loud?” Chen Ke Yao asked, surprised.
Actually, it wasn’t.
Just by listening, you could sense his caution. He spent at least half a minute tearing open that yogurt lid to avoid making noise.
It was Rong Yi who was restless.
He was lying on Chen Ke Yao’s bed, under Chen Ke Yao’s blanket. And Chen Ke Yao himself was less than two meters away from him.
Therefore, even the slightest sound would be infinitely amplified in his consciousness.
Rong Yi simply sat up. When he turned his head towards Chen Ke Yao in the dim room, he was quickly taken aback.
“So you’re nearsighted?”
“These are just plain glasses,” Chen Ke Yao, wearing glasses, seemed a little embarrassed, “My eyes feel dizzy after looking at the computer for too long, so I wear them.”
Rong Yi stared at him for a while, then turned his head.
Since he had lain down, Chen Ke Yao had turned off the overhead light in the room, and now the only light sources were his computer monitor and the small desk lamp next to it, which was set to the lowest brightness. Looking at him in this hazy light, Chen Ke Yao, with a pair of glasses on his face, seemed a little unfamiliar.
It felt strange.
“Aren’t you sleeping?” Chen Ke Yao asked.
“I…” Rong Yi quickly glanced at the yogurt in his hand, “I’m hungry listening to you eat.”
Chen Ke Yao stood up when he heard this: “Oh, wait a moment.”
He also got a cup of yogurt for Rong Yi. In addition to the yogurt, he also brought Rong Yi’s toothbrush and cup and put them in the bathroom of his room, so he could brush his teeth nearby after drinking.
This man was always particularly attentive in strange ways.
Rong Yi sat on the bed, holding the yogurt he had just taken out of the refrigerator, took a sip, and found it a little cold.
So he decided to leave it for a while before drinking it.
“Do you find it hard to sleep in my room?” Chen Ke Yao suddenly asked.
Rong Yi glanced at him: “Are you working now?”
“No, I’m watching a movie,” Chen Ke Yao said, and seemed to press the pause button, “Can’t sleep? Want to watch together?”
Rong Yi shook his head.
He still had to go to work tomorrow, so he had to continue trying to fall asleep after finishing the yogurt in his hand.
The two of them were quiet for a while, and Rong Yi asked again, “Do you usually just watch movies at night if you can’t sleep?”
“Not necessarily,” Chen Ke Yao said, “I’m afraid playing games would disturb you.”
“…Actually, you’re a rich second generation, right? Your family owns a mine, so you don’t need to work at all.”
“You underestimate me,” Chen Ke Yao said, “The apartment you’re staying in now was bought with my own money.”
Rong Yi was dubious.
Chen Ke Yao was clearly the same age as him, but he was so poor that he almost ended up on the streets. The difference was too great.
But when he mentioned age, Rong Yi thought of something else.
“Ms. Lan looks so young,” he said, “At first, I really thought she was your sister. She maintains herself so well.”
Chen Ke Yao laughed: “She is indeed not that old.”
“…You’re not young anymore.”
“Really,” Chen Ke Yao said, “She was only seventeen when she gave birth to me.”
“Huh?”
Rong Yi was very surprised. At that age, she hadn’t even reached the legal marriage age, obviously an unwed mother.
“She and my dad had to get married because of me,” Chen Ke Yao said.
Rong Yi suddenly remembered that Chen Ke Yao seemed to have mentioned before that his mother had remarried. This was obviously not a pleasant topic, and although Rong Yi was curious, he felt that he shouldn’t ask any more questions.
However, Chen Ke Yao, who had deliberately avoided talking about it before, took the initiative to continue for some reason: “My dad and my mom were high school classmates. Different grades and different classes, my dad was my mom’s junior. Before my mom got pregnant with me, they barely knew each other.”
“Then why…”
“Because the suppressant suddenly failed,” Chen Ke Yao said.
A simple sentence explained all the questions.
Stable long-acting suppressants had only gradually become popular in the last ten years or so. Before that, people often struggled with heat. Although it was before Rong Yi’s Differentiation, he had heard about it.
In those days, couples who got together because of a sudden heat were common and not uncommon. Even now, some idol dramas are still keen on such plots. Two strangers come together due to an accidental Marking, and then go through various twists and turns, from disliking each other to knowing and loving each other, and finally usher in a happy ending.
Chen Ke Yao’s parents were actually a very good match in terms of appearance alone. A tall and handsome Alpha, a gentle and beautiful Omega, like a match made in heaven.
But the ending didn’t seem to be pleasant.
Omega Marking removal surgery had only been legalized for less than ten years, and it still couldn’t eradicate the sequelae. For all the wrong combinations, someone always had to pay a heavy price.
“Sorry,” Rong Yi said awkwardly, “Am I…”
“It doesn’t matter,” Chen Ke Yao smiled, “They’re all fine now, and I’m fine too, there’s nothing that can’t be mentioned.”
“…Oh.”
Rong Yi nodded, raised his head and drank the yogurt in one gulp, then shivered from the cold.
Chen Ke Yao leaned over and stretched out his hand to him.
Rong Yi looked at him blankly: “What are you doing?”
“Give me the container,” Chen Ke Yao said, “Are you going to throw it on my bed?”
Rong Yi didn’t remember what time he finally fell asleep.
After he lay down again, he tossed and turned for a long time. Later, in a hazy state, he vaguely heard Chen Ke Yao seem to call his name softly. He wasn’t very awake, so he didn’t respond.
And after that, nothing happened.
The next day, when he was awakened by his phone ringing, Rong Yi had a splitting headache.
He fumbled around in a daze, finally turned off the alarm, and then opened his eyes and was in a daze again.
Where is this?
He looked around blankly, and was surprised when he found Chen Ke Yao lieing on the desk.
They had agreed to take turns sleeping, but this guy didn’t make it to dawn after all. He was sleeping very soundly, and the alarm didn’t affect him at all.
Rong Yi hesitated repeatedly during the washing process, whether to wake Chen Ke Yao and let him lie down on the bed.
Fortunately, when he finished changing and walked out of the bathroom, this guy who had just been sleeping soundly was already in the quilt, and still seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Rong Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, tucked him in, and hurried out to work.
Lack of sleep is definitely the enemy of mankind.
Rong Yi’s lifelong reputation was ruined when he dozed off in public at the routine meeting on Monday, and was even unaware when it was his turn to speak.
Afterwards, Zhang added fuel to the fire, and insisted that there was obvious drool at the corner of his mouth at the time.
Rong Yi was dizzy and didn’t bother to argue with her.
He felt that his condition was a bit off. If it was really just a simple lack of sleep, he shouldn’t be so drowsy.
He persevered until noon, staring at the takeout for a long time without any appetite, and then belatedly realized that he might be sick.
Anyway, he wasn’t busy with work, so he simply took half a day off and planned to go back and get some rest.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Rong Yi suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to buy groceries.
He had clearly planned the day before that he would go to the supermarket after get off work today to buy some fresh vegetables. This guy Chen Ke Yao was particularly picky about food, and there were only a few kinds of vegetables he was willing to eat, and they were not easy to preserve, so they needed to be replenished frequently.
But on second thought, he felt that he was being too dedicated. He wasn’t even going to work, but he was still thinking about buying groceries and cooking for Chen Ke Yao, what was the point?
Ordering takeout occasionally wouldn’t kill this big guy. At most, he would pay for it himself.
Thinking this way, he pushed open the door and suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice.
“Teacher! You didn’t say that last time!”
Rong Yi was stunned, then looked down at the entrance hall, and sure enough, there was a pair of unfamiliar shoes.
Immediately following was Chen Ke Yao’s voice.
“Ah…is it that urgent…” His tone sounded very lazy, obviously he hadn’t slept enough, “I haven’t been feeling well lately, I don’t want to either.”
“It’s been more than half a year again!” The unfamiliar voice sounded extremely distraught, “It’s been a full year and a half since the third book!”
“…It’s been a year and a half anyway,” Chen Ke Yao muttered in a low voice.
Rong Yi had already walked into the living room while they were talking.
The person who was talking to Chen Ke Yao was a young man who looked refined, and when he saw Rong Yi come in, he immediately showed a surprised expression.
“Why are you back so early today?” Chen Ke Yao looked very curious, “…Not feeling well?”
“I…”
Before Rong Yi could finish speaking, he saw the young man shout: “Holy crap! No wonder you said you were busy! I was just saying, you don’t go out all day, what are you busy with!”
“What?” Rong Yi was at a loss.
“The king has stopped attending court ever since!” The young man shouted, “Teacher, do you remember what you told me last month? You said that the nourishment of love makes your thoughts flow like a spring!”
“I…” Chen Ke Yao looked very embarrassed, stood up and pulled his arm hard, “Don’t talk nonsense!”
“God knows what kind of things you’ve been flowing with in the past month!”
Rong Yi stood there in a daze: “What are you talking about? Does it have anything to do with me?”
“It doesn’t matter,” Chen Ke Yao winked at him frantically, “You have a package, I helped you receive it in the room. It’s a big package, go unpack it quickly.”
Rong Yi nodded when he heard this, and was about to walk to his room when he heard Chen Ke Yao’s voice from behind.
“Wrong, it’s in my room.”
Oh right, Chen Ke Yao’s mother came over yesterday, and his room had been forcibly requisitioned.
Rong Yi walked into Chen Ke Yao’s room in a daze, and before he closed the door, there was still the young man’s mournful cry in the living room.
“Teacher! You can’t do this! We’ve already negotiated with the partners to officially release it on their platform next month, and now you’re telling me you’ve only written an introduction! You’ve been writing this introduction for a year and a half!”
Rong Yi was curious and leaned against the door to eavesdrop. Unfortunately, Chen Ke Yao spoke in a lower voice than usual, vaguely, and he couldn’t hear clearly.
He’d wait until this person left and then interrogate him separately.
Thinking this way, he turned his head and scanned the room, and then was taken aback.
There was indeed a huge package on the table, tightly wrapped, and it looked like a huge axe just by looking at the appearance. What the hell? Rong Yi was stunned for a long time, and couldn’t remember buying any lethal weapons recently.
And next to the suspected axe was a box of strawberry-flavored condoms that looked a little familiar and had been opened.
The author has something to say
Everyone’s suggestions are good, but Chen Teacher’s sickness has not been cured.
If the inhibitor suddenly fails at this time, he may have to perform a passionate vomiting on the spot.
Then Rong Yi would definitely be so angry that he would have to grit his teeth and fight even if he couldn’t beat him.
