MRFD Chapter 42
by VolareChen Ke Yao was startled by him, and then subconsciously struggled.
“What are you doing?” he said, trying to pry Rong Yi’s hands apart, but he didn’t use much force, so he failed.
Rong Yi hugged the back of his head, incredibly nervous, afraid that he would see the things in that room. For Chen Ke Yao, that would be ten thousand times more terrifying than a staff member dressed as a corpse.
He had a bad feeling when he saw the snake-shaped pattern on that floor. Now, looking at the bottles and jars on the shelves in the secret room after the wall in front of him had been pushed open, his scalp tingled even more.
Before entering, the background information said that the owner of this house had some unknown collecting hobbies. He never expected it to be reptile specimens. The most prominent position on the shelf was a glass tank, and the snake inside, which was twice as thick as Mimi, was obviously alive.
Even he felt daunted by the scene before him, and if Chen Ke Yao saw it, he would probably be doing parkour in the house again. This wasn’t like home; if he accidentally broke something, he would have to pay for it.
“Don’t look, turn around quickly,” he tried to turn Chen Ke Yao’s body to face the other way, “There’s… there’s… bad, bad things inside.”
Rong Yi was afraid of causing Chen Ke Yao panic, so he didn’t dare to say the word “snake.”
“Huh?” Chen Ke Yao had no tacit understanding with him at all, and became even more curious when he heard this, “How bad?”
Rong Yi glanced at the snakes around him, soaked in liquid, unsure if they were real or fake, and swallowed: “Very bad, and a little disgusting. You can’t look.”
Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect. Chen Ke Yao was very interested: “What, what, what? Why can only you look, I want to see too!”
As an Alpha who had been working out for a long time, he was naturally much stronger than Rong Yi. It was completely easy for him to break free if he really wanted to.
Actually, capturing someone required skill. Chen Ke Yao not only easily got rid of the restraint, but also very smoothly turned Rong Yi around and encircled him in his arms.
Rong Yi didn’t understand what happened at all, and he had already turned around twice in place. When he came back to his senses, Chen Ke Yao’s neck was right in front of him. Unfortunately, before he could even blush and feel his heart race, the Alpha who had just put his hand on his waist let out a earth-shattering scream.
Rong Yi felt that Chen Ke Yao might have internal strength. The lion’s roar he emitted from his dantian still made his eardrums hurt and even caused some dizziness even half an hour later.
While he was considering whether to go to the hospital for a check-up, his phone rang. Yu Wenluo, the kind person who sent them the tickets, sent a message asking if they were having fun and if it was very interesting.
Rong Yi didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
He sat on the sofa, looked up at the two people sitting at the desk not far away, and felt that reality had completely deviated from his expectations.
In the end, he could only reply: “Very exciting.”
Yu Wenluo seemed particularly interested.
“Really? Then I’ll take a break the day after tomorrow and bring two friends over to try it out!”
Rong Yi sighed.
“It’s a little unlikely, they may still be closed the day after tomorrow.”
A collapsed Chen Ke Yao was more surprisingly powerful than imagined. By the time Rong Yi finally came back to his senses, the staff had already rushed in in a panic.
He had turned the escape room into an explosion room. Now, they were having specific negotiations on the amount of compensation.
Chen Ke Yao was still in shock. When the other party said, “We can provide on-site damage photos as proof,” his face turned pale and he shook his head frantically.
Except for the one in the glass tank, the large number of lifelike snake specimens on the shelves in the room and the reptile corpses soaked in unknown liquids should all be artificially made props, but they were still very shocking to Chen Ke Yao.
In the end, the other party proposed an amount that Rong Yi felt was a bit unreasonable. They said that in addition to the specific damaged props, it also included part of the losses during the closure and renovation.
“But your user notice didn’t say there would be so many snakes,” he couldn’t help but interject, “My friend was scared stupid by you, and he hasn’t asked for compensation yet.”
Chen Ke Yao turned to look at him: “Scared into what?”
“You see, his ears are not working well either.” Rong Yi said.
The final number that was settled on made Rong Yi’s heart ache when he heard it. He felt that Chen Ke Yao was still a little too easy to talk to. Based on his experience at work, there was plenty of room to haggle for a while and get another discount at this time.
But Chen Ke Yao didn’t seem to care very much, and instead comforted him after coming out: “It’s okay, it’s not a lot of money, just treat it as spending money to avoid disaster.”
He was completely a class enemy. No wonder he waived a month’s rent for him without any hesitation before.
Seeing the tangled expression on Rong Yi’s face when he looked at him, Chen Ke Yao suddenly sighed: “But I’m not just losing money, my soul is also traumatized. Now when I close my eyes, I see that scene… I might have nightmares when I go back tonight.”
“Then what should I do?” Rong Yi asked.
Chen Ke Yao answered as he walked forward: “When I was a kid, when I had nightmares and couldn’t sleep, my dad would come over and sleep with me.”
“…”
The implication in these words sounded almost like sexual harassment.
Rong Yi, who was forcing himself not to overthink every day, felt that he would really go crazy if he kept holding back. Chen Ke Yao had been acting strange lately, and was getting more and more abnormal. Back when he didn’t know Rong Yi was an Omega, the extent of his tentative pursuit was far less excessive than it was now.
This person, who clearly couldn’t accept Omegas, kept flirting with him endlessly. What was he planning?
Rong Yi stood there, looked at his back, bit his lip, and wanted to speak, but couldn’t muster the courage.
Soon, Chen Ke Yao turned around: “What are you doing standing there?”
Rong Yi looked at him, secretly pinching the palm of his hand with his fingernails: “Do… do you want me to sleep with you?”
“…” Chen Ke Yao obviously didn’t expect him to say this, and didn’t reply with wide eyes.
Rong Yi turned his head away: “I can.”
After a moment, still not hearing a response, Rong Yi mustered up his courage again and turned back around.
He saw that Chen Ke Yao had a pale face and looked physically uncomfortable.
“Can’t take it?” Rong Yi lowered his eyes, and then walked forward with his head down, “Then don’t always joke with me like that in the future, it’s boring.”
Just as he was about to pass by Chen Ke Yao, he was suddenly grabbed by the hand.
Rong Yi turned back to look at him: “Wh-what are you doing?”
“Uh…” Chen Ke Yao looked very tangled, and frowned for a long time, “It’s still early, do you want to eat before going back?”
“I mean, why do you always want to hold my hand.” Rong Yi glared at him.
“…” Chen Ke Yao looked away, “I saw you never shaking it off, and thought you didn’t hate it.”
Of course he didn’t hate it.
It was precisely because he didn’t hate it that he especially hated it.
Rong Yi subconsciously wanted to pull his hand away, but this time the other party held it very tightly.
“Let’s go,” Chen Ke Yao pulled him, “As compensation for ruining your game experience, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“…”
Rong Yi was dragged forward a few steps, and finally couldn’t help but ask: “… What exactly do you want to do?”
Chen Ke Yao didn’t turn his head: “Has anyone ever said that your hands are especially soft?”
“No.” Rong Yi said.
His fingers were long and his knuckles were distinct. Although they didn’t appear thick, they weren’t slender either. Just like his appearance, they were good-looking, but had no Omega aura at all.
Before this, no one had ever commented on his hands like this. After all, since graduating from elementary school, these hands had only been held by Chen Ke Yao.
“Completely different from how they look, soft and warm to hold,” Chen Ke Yao said, “It feels especially comfortable to hold. Have you ever heard of a saying that people with particularly soft hands will be rich and prosperous in the future?”
“… How many hands have you held to be so experienced?”
Chen Ke Yao turned back to look at him when he heard this.
“Including you, two.”
“Then the other one…”
Chen Ke Yao answered in a second: “Dead.”
“…”
“An ex-girlfriend is no different from being dead.” Chen Ke Yao said.
Rong Yi stopped: “Have you forgotten something?”
Chen Ke Yao turned back to look at him again: “What?”
“I’m also your ex-girlfriend.”
“…”
Chen Ke Yao’s expression suddenly became awkward.
He paused for a while, then smiled at Rong Yi, with a bit of flattery in his eyes, and his tone was softer than usual when he spoke: “Then… can you not be my ex-girlfriend?”
Rong Yi shook his head.
It was a *fait accompli*, how could it be erased just by saying so? They couldn’t travel through time, it was too meaningless to deceive themselves.
Seeing this, Chen Ke Yao shrugged, lowered his face, and continued to drag him forward in silence.
“Tell me about it, what kind of person was she?”
This was the first time he heard that Chen Ke Yao had another partner, and it was impossible not to care.
“There’s nothing to say,” Chen Ke Yao didn’t turn his head, “I was blind back then.”
“Was she… an Alpha?” Rong Yi asked.
“Yeah.”
“I thought…”
“What?”
Rong Yi said: “I thought it was your younger brother.”
“How is that possible, we just had a good relationship back then,” Chen Ke Yao said, “We’re ordinary friends. And he’s an Omega, I with Omegas…”
“Okay, I know.” Rong Yi interrupted him.
“No,” Chen Ke Yao suddenly became nervous, “I don’t mean that.”
Rong Yi stopped again.
“… I don’t like this right now.”
Chen Ke Yao looked at him with some incomprehension.
“I don’t know what you mean, no matter what you mean, I feel very uncomfortable right now,” Rong Yi looked down at the other person’s toes, “Why do you want to hold my hand? Why do you always say things that will make me misunderstand? You clearly can’t accept my gender at all, what exactly do you want?”
Chen Ke Yao looked incredibly tangled: “I…”
“I won’t guess anymore,” Rong Yi looked up at him, “If you don’t say it, I’ll take it as you like me.”
Chen Ke Yao originally seemed to want to explain something. But when Rong Yi finished saying this, he immediately pursed his lips again.
The two of them were still holding hands, looking at each other on the crowded street, without moving.
Just as Rong Yi wanted to take back his words and run away immediately, the Alpha in front of him suddenly smiled.
“So I just asked you…”
He was only halfway through his sentence when he was interrupted by Rong Yi’s sudden action.
Rong Yi himself felt that he seemed too impulsive. But the way he suddenly smiled at him was particularly good-looking. The arc of his lips slightly raised carried a unique gentleness that made people want to get close unconsciously.
When was the last time he kissed this person?
It seemed like a long, long time ago. But Rong Yi still couldn’t forget that wonderful feeling.
