MRFD Chapter 44
by VolareIt’s all Chen Ke Yao’s fault, making him so upset that he forgot such an important thing.
Unfortunately, after mentioning it to Zhou Li, the other person was not interested in Mo Yufei in the first place, and secondly, the time was too tight to make it, so he couldn’t accompany him.
“So you like him,” Zhou Li thought for a moment, “Have you ever seen ‘Looking for the Dragon’?”
Rong Yi suddenly panicked for no reason. Although it hasn’t been confirmed yet, Chen Ke Yao is most likely Lan Shan You Meng himself. Hearing topics related to him at this moment, it is inevitable to overthink.
“So-so, I guess.” Rong Yi’s eyes darted around, “He only acted in the earliest movie version, I’m not very interested in the original.”
“Haven’t you heard that rumor?” Zhou Li looked mysterious, “Mo Yufei was not originally scheduled to play the lead role in the movie, he wasn’t popular at that time. It was the author who liked him, so he personally selected him. Also, the protagonist of the third novel was simply written based on him.”
Rong Yi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, “How is that possible.”
Chen Ke Yao hates Mo Yufei to death, he doesn’t look like a fan at all, let alone using him as a model.
“Really, since you like him, haven’t you heard of it,” Zhou Li recalled, “I remember someone did a textual research. It was about when Mo Yufei had a scandal with an Omega actress…”
“Those are all fake,” Rong Yi said very seriously, “Someone wanted to slander him, he has already clarified it!”
“What’s the use of him saying it himself, the photos and videos are real, right,” Zhou Li raised his eyebrows, “You believe this too?”
“That woman deliberately designed it,” Rong Yi said very firmly, “I’ve seen that video, there’s a movement in the middle, people with psychology expertise analyzed that it meant he was very resistant and opposed in his heart, actually…”
“Okay, okay, okay,” Zhou Li quickly interrupted him, “You can just listen to this kind of brainwashing package yourself. Anyway, after that incident, the entire plot of ‘Looking for the Dragon’ became abnormal. After that, it was abandoned.”
“…”
“Uh, I just heard it, it’s okay if you think it’s unreliable,” Zhou Li was much more sensible than Chen Ke Yao, and immediately took the initiative to change the subject when he saw Rong Yi’s tangled expression, “Anyway, these people will never intersect with ordinary people like us, so it doesn’t matter what they are really like.”
“…”
Rong Yi’s psychological activities at this moment were much more complicated than Zhou Li imagined.
He has always been a wandering, periodic star-chaser, only focusing his attention on idols when he has no unrequited love interests, and he is not addicted, nor will he actively pay attention to gossip. He belongs to the happy-go-lucky school that closes his eyes and pretends that all the negative news doesn’t exist, so he knows very little about this kind of news. That video caused a particularly big stir at the time, so he heard about it. As for other rumors, he has never heard of them at all.
Chen Ke Yao hates Mo Yufei, is it really because he can’t accept the scandal of his idol, so he went from being a fan to hating him? Thinking about it this way, the whole thing suddenly becomes unexpectedly reasonable.
After all, this person’s aesthetic vision is actually quite close to his own. He, Rong Yi, regards Mo Yufei as a male god and is fascinated by him, there is no reason why Chen Ke Yao can be completely immune to him.
Seeing Rong Yi silent and frowning, Zhou Li panicked a little, worried that he had said something wrong just now, so he racked his brains to change the subject.
“Oh, by the way, guess who I met yesterday!” He slapped the table in a very exaggerated manner.
Rong Yi, who was originally creating in his mind, was immediately intrigued when he heard the words.
“…Liu Yuan?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Zhou Li nodded, “How do you know, did he tell you?”
“I saw him leave a message on your Moments,” Rong Yi asked, “Did he help you find Mimi together?”
“Not really…” Zhou Li tilted his head and thought, then suddenly smiled, “He still hates Mimi, if I had arrived later, I suspect he might have roasted Mimi.”
It turned out that yesterday Zhou Li’s grandmother suddenly attacked his house again, and was very angry after seeing his alternative pet, so she threw it out together with the container without saying hello.
Zhou Li was very anxious, but the old lady was stubborn and unreasonable, and refused to tell him where she had thrown it no matter what. Helpless, he could only start a carpet search in the vicinity of his home. He searched all day from noon to evening without any results, and finally cried in despair.
After walking and crying for a while, he suddenly saw a person squatting beside a flower bed not far away, looking a little familiar.
That person was frowning, staring blankly at a box in front of him.
“He said to me, ‘You quickly take it away, it’s making me upset’,” Zhou Li said and laughed, “I asked him, then doesn’t looking at me make you upset, and he said ‘it’s okay’.”
“…” Rong Yi didn’t respond, just blinked his eyes and looked at him.
Zhou Li didn’t seem to care, and continued, “You know what, he actually hung up the key ring that I compensated him with. It doesn’t match him at all, it was so hard for me to hold back my laughter.”
Rong Yi knew, but he decided to pretend he didn’t.
He is in a particularly complicated mood right now, because he feels like he has seen the beginning of a beautiful love. It’s a little sweet, which makes people involuntarily happy, but then it’s a little sour.
Because his own love is almost a dead end. In comparison, it is even more miserable.
“Then you exchanged contact information?” he asked Zhou Li.
“I wanted to thank him, but he said he couldn’t think of anything he wanted for the time being, so he’ll owe it first.”
Rong Yi felt that he probably knew what Liu Yuan wanted most.
He smiled and asked Zhou Li: “Do you think this person is quite interesting now?”
“Um…” Zhou Li thought for a moment, “So-so, I guess.”
“He thought I was a couple with you,” Rong Yi continued, “Do you think it’s necessary to explain?”
Zhou Li hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, then tilted his head: “Does it matter?”
Rong Yi suddenly felt that this child was a bit silly. People obviously have a good impression of him, but as long as they don’t clearly pursue him, he is completely unaware.
Perhaps he should share some of his developed imagination with him. A glance at each other, a house full of children and grandchildren.
When he went back in the evening, Chen Ke Yao’s door was still tightly closed. Rong Yi secretly went to the kitchen trash can to take a look, and confirmed that the takeout packaging had been thrown inside.
Chen Ke Yao honestly ate the takeout without raising any protests. Looking at this, it is obvious that he does not want to have any further communication with him.
In fact, Rong Yi had originally thought about it. If Chen Ke Yao questioned him about it, asking him why he didn’t go home to cook and didn’t notify him, he would take the opportunity to admit his mistake, and then continue to cook every day and eat with him from tomorrow onwards.
Maybe after a few days, the awkward relationship between them will ease.
…But what’s the use of that.
It’s better to be like this now. The more you invest in a relationship that is impossible to get a response from, the deeper you get hurt. Now that the other party is willing to give him a chance to live, he should seize the opportunity and save himself in time.
When love is not going well, work will go smoothly.
The project finally came to a perfect end. After the last meeting, the client set up a banquet and invited them to participate together.
Since he had to go home alone at night, and he had recently begun to question his alcohol tolerance, Rong Yi only drank juice throughout the whole process. He was persuaded to drink several times, but fortunately, Liu Yuan, who was at the same table, blocked him.
Rong Yi has eaten with Liu Yuan more than once, but this is the first time he has seen this person drink. When he first saw him turn slightly red after half a glass of beer, he thought his level was similar to his own. Unexpectedly, he changed varieties and drank one glass after another for a long time, and Liu Yuan was still only slightly red, his expression and tone were almost the same as usual.
This made Rong Yi couldn’t help but have a little respect for him.
However, when it was about to end, this guy, who didn’t know how many bottles he had drunk, finally showed a bit of drunkenness, his speech began to slur, and he was emotionally excited.
He ran to Rong Yi’s side, stretched out his hand and hooked his neck carelessly, forcibly stuck his face over, saying he wanted to take a selfie. After taking it, he added some strange filters and planned to post it on Moments. Rong Yi sat on the side and watched him edit a nine-square grid, which was full of selfies of him and Rong Yi’s team members. This person knew to maintain a polite distance from other Omegas when he was drunk, but he was especially close to Rong Yi, which shows that he still subconsciously regarded him as an Alpha.
“Oh, right, don’t leave after it’s over, wait for me,” Liu Yuan said to him in a very serious tone after sending it, “I have something to tell you.”
So after the banquet ended, Rong Yi stayed to wait for him, and then accompanied him to the hotel garden to smoke a cigarette.
“Thank you today, otherwise I would have been forced to drink miserably.”
“You’re welcome, this little bit of wine is nothing,” Liu Yuan waved his hand, “Of course I have to complete the task that Ke Yao assigned.”
Rong Yi immediately frowned: “…Who assigned it?”
“Ah.” Liu Yuan, whose thinking was obviously very slow, was stunned for a while, and patted his head, “He told me not to tell you, I forgot. Then remember not to tell him that I told you.”
“…”
“That, I asked you out because I have something very important to tell you, I have to tell you in person.” Liu Yuan still seemed a little drunk, but his expression was very solemn.
“Tell me?”
“Rong Yi, I really, especially treat you as a friend,” Liu Yuan said, “Although we haven’t known each other for a very long time, I just think we get along very well.”
Rong Yi smiled: “I also treat you as a friend.”
“But I did something very sorry for you,” Liu Yuan said, “Oh, no, I haven’t done it yet, I plan to do it. That is, although I treat you as a friend, I still plan to do something sorry for you. So I’m very sorry for you.”
He was a little incoherent, but Rong Yi felt that he seemed to understand what he meant.
“However, you actually have a problem yourself,” Liu Yuan continued to say to himself, “You and Ke Yao are like that, isn’t it unfair to Zhou Li?”
The name Chen Ke Yao suddenly appeared again, making Rong Yi, who was about to laugh, freeze.
“Rong Yi, I’m sorry for you, I like Zhou Li.” Liu Yuan paused after saying this, and added, “Also sorry for Lightning.”
“So you were so entangled when you came to dinner that day?”
“But I’ve figured it out now, I want to pursue him. He’s very good, he can’t be with a fickle person.”
“…Oh.” Rong Yi nodded.
“I think I should tell you anyway, but even if you’re angry with me, I…”
“That,” Rong Yi interrupted him, “Zhou Li doesn’t like people who are too active.”
“Ah?”
“If you really like him, it’s best to restrain yourself and pretend that you don’t like him that much first,” Rong Yi said, “Give him some time, start as friends first, take it slow.”
The alcohol ingested by Liu Yuan seemed to gradually kick in after a period of delay.
He was a little confused, and didn’t know how much he had listened to Rong Yi’s words. Rong Yi hailed a taxi for him, and watched him confirm the address with the driver before he was relieved to see him leave.
Just as he was about to hail another car, his phone suddenly vibrated.
It was actually a message from Chen Ke Yao, who had been eating takeout quietly for the past few days and had not raised any protests.
“It’s late, come back early, be careful on the road.”
Rong Yi stared at the message for a long time. He typed a reply several times, then deleted it again, and the whole person was a little at a loss.
Then, the prompt that the other party was typing appeared in the window.
A few seconds later, a new message popped up.
“Or, should I come pick you up?”
The author has something to say:
One day half a month later.
Rong Yi: You specifically asked Liu Yuan to block the wine for me?
Chen Ke Yao: I relied on him not to mention it to you!
Rong Yi: Oh… then don’t tell him I mentioned it to you either…
The next day.
Liu Yuan: I wiped it, I told you not to tell him I told you!
Rong Yi: I wiped it, how did he tell you!
Liu Yuan: Uh… then don’t tell him I came to tell you either…
