MRFD Chapter 50
by VolareWhen he left the scenic area, the moment he posted on WeChat Moments got a like.
Unfortunately, Chen Ke Yao didn’t leave a comment, and Rong Yi couldn’t think of any way to start a conversation and chat with him.
Once he got to the snack street, he strolled and ate all the way, taking a bunch of pictures of food. On the way back, he was careful when editing his WeChat Moments, posting two in total. The first one, a nine-grid of all food photos, was hidden from Chen Ke Yao. The second one replaced one of the pictures and was only visible to Chen Ke Yao.
The replaced picture was a selfie of him holding a candied hawthorn.
Actually, Rong Yi’s selfie skills were terrible. Every time, his expression was stiff, and he wasn’t good at using photo editing apps to add filters. The finished product always looked a bit silly. So, this time, to avoid his weaknesses, the picture only showed the lower half of his face as he bit into the strawberry.
Such a composition was a bit ambiguous, so he was embarrassed for others to see it.
In fact, he was also a little embarrassed for Chen Ke Yao to see it. But even so, he still mustered the courage to post it because Chen Ke Yao had been reacting to whatever he posted recently. So, he wanted to see if Chen Ke Yao would say something in response to such an obviously suggestive photo.
More than half an hour passed after posting, and he was almost back at the hotel, but there was still no response. Rong Yi couldn’t help but feel ashamed of his actions, so he decided to just delete it.
He was already halfway through deleting it when he suddenly received a message notification.
Chen Ke Yao sent a very cryptic message.
“I recommend a selfie app to you. Everyone who’s used it says it’s good.”
Rong Yi was full of question marks.
What was Chen Ke Yao up to? He’d never seen this guy so enthusiastic about selfies before. The only selfies this guy had posted recently were two showing off his workout results in front of the mirror. The composition and lighting were a disgrace to his gay status, but thankfully, his abs were real enough to make Rong Yi save them. None of them looked like they had been specially edited.
Before he could ask a question, the other side had already sent the name of the app.
Rong Yi replied with a question mark.
“Using this will make your photos look better. Hurry up and delete that one from your WeChat Moments.”
Rong Yi replied with a row of question marks.
“You’re really bad at taking selfies. Why don’t you show me them before you post them next time? I’ll help you give you advice.”
Rong Yi frowned and looked at the photo again.
It was just a bit of a weird suggestion, wasn’t that bad? His nose, chin, and lips were flawless, and even his teeth were white and straight. Only this little part, and you couldn’t tell his expression was stiff. The candied strawberry in the picture looked very appetizing.
This Chen Ke Yao actually thought it was ugly?
It was like winking at a blind man, so infuriating.
Rong Yi angrily deleted the entire WeChat Moment, turned off his phone screen, and ignored him.
After he got out of the taxi and walked into the hotel lobby, the phone in his pocket vibrated again. He opened it and saw it was that annoying guy again.
“Did you only take that one picture? Why don’t you send them all to me and I’ll help you pick one?”
Rong Yi frowned at his phone.
He had taken more than twenty pictures to choose the best one. Actually, he still wanted Chen Ke Yao to praise him a little, but he thought this guy was too annoying, so he couldn’t indulge him.
Moreover, what if he said they were all bad? That would be even more infuriating.
While hesitating and flipping through his photo album, Chen Ke Yao sent another message after he got on the elevator.
“I want to eat that osmanthus sweet soup.”
Rong Yi burst out laughing in anger.
Just as he was about to send a rolling-eye emoji, a familiar voice that he had only heard a few times in real life in the past two days came from behind him.
“Why do you always play with your phone?”
He turned his head sharply, then froze.
Mo Yufei, who was standing behind him, smiled and took off his sunglasses: “What a coincidence.”
Rong Yi gasped.
When he entered the elevator, he was looking down at his phone. He did notice there was someone else in the elevator in his peripheral vision. But even when he saw the light for the floor he was going to, he didn’t think much of it, and his mind was full of how annoying Chen Ke Yao was.
Now that he was suddenly face to face with his idol, Rong Yi went blank.
“Do you know me?” Mo Yufei asked.
Rong Yi nodded like a creaky robot.
As he spoke, the elevator arrived. The elevator doors slowly opened with a chime.
Mo Yufei walked out and said to him, “It’s better not to stare at your phone when you’re walking.”
“Yes!” Rong Yi shouted.
He would definitely keep his idol’s teachings in mind. But his reaction under the excitement was too embarrassing, like an idiot!
It was all Mo Yufei’s fault for being too handsome. He didn’t even need a filter, and his whole body glowed. How could his legs be so long? How could his eyelashes be so long? Even his hair was smoother and shinier than other people’s. He made people lose their minds.
The two of them walked side by side into the hallway, and Rong Yi felt like his heartbeat was about to cause tinnitus.
“Are you here on a business trip?” Mo Yufei asked in a casual tone.
I’m here to attend your fan meeting.
Rong Yi felt that this answer was too embarrassing to say out loud. So, he chose a slightly more euphemistic way of expressing it.
“I’m here to attend an event.”
Mo Yufei nodded and didn’t say anything more.
Finally, when he reached his room, Rong Yi accidentally walked past it. When he came back and took out his room key, Mo Yufei, who was standing in front of the door diagonally opposite him, took the initiative to say, “Oh, so close.”
To seize this last chance to leave a good impression on his idol, Rong Yi turned around stiffly and mustered all his strength to force a smile: “Yeah.”
Mo Yufei smiled at him as well: “See you tomorrow.”
After finally closing the door, Rong Yi’s soul instantly left his body.
This was too lucky. In just two days, he had run into Mo Yufei three times. And each time, it was a bigger step forward than before.
So, maybe he could take it a step further tomorrow.
Like shaking hands or something!
Just thinking about it made his heart surge.
Mo Yufei was not only a million times more handsome in person than on camera, but he was also so gentle and easy-going, without any airs. He was practically an angel.
Oh, right, Mo Yufei also said “see you tomorrow.” He obviously didn’t know he was going to attend his fan meeting, so that meant he was also looking forward to running into him again.
…No regrets, even if I die now.
He picked up his phone and found his chat window with Zhang and excitedly typed.
“My idol is so awesome, I love him forever, wuwuwuwuwu, awoo!”
Zhang was probably busy and didn’t reply immediately. Rong Yi paced around the room twice, still unable to calm the excitement in his heart, so he couldn’t resist posting on WeChat Moments.
“I’m so happy, aaaaaaaah!!!!”
Half a minute later, just as he was pacing around the room for the third time, his phone rang.
He answered the call and immediately heard the voice of the annoying Chen Ke Yao, filled with strong dissatisfaction.
“What are you doing? You’re not replying to my messages but you’re posting on WeChat Moments.”
Rong Yi felt that Chen Ke Yao should look for the reason within himself. But he was in a good mood right now, so he didn’t want to argue with this guy.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn’t stop laughing, and even his voice was shaking: “Why should I reply to you? I’m busy.”
“…It’s so late at night. You’ve already finished eating. What can you be busy with alone?” Chen Ke Yao asked.
Although this guy’s tone was obviously displeased, Rong Yi immediately giggled when he heard it.
“I won’t tell you,” he said.
Chen Ke Yao was silent for a while, then asked, “Was your picture taken by someone else?”
“Huh?” Rong Yi felt like he couldn’t keep up with his train of thought.
“Let me tell you, those people who make a move really quickly are unreliable. You should be more careful.”
Rong Yi was even more confused: “What?”
“Are you alone right now?”
“Yeah?” Rong Yi frowned, “What are you imagining!”
“…Are you already in your hotel room?” Chen Ke Yao asked again.
“Yeah,” Rong Yi said, “I just got back.”
“Then what were you giggling about just now?”
Although he had some objections to the word “giggling,” Rong Yi couldn’t help but laugh again when he was reminded of his earlier wonderful experience: “I won’t tell you. If I do, you’ll just be annoying again.”
“Could it be that you ran into Mo Yufei again? What happened between you and him?”
Rong Yi tried to hold back, but he failed: “Hehehe, hehehehehe.”
Then, a low curse actually came from the other end of the phone.
Rong Yi, who was still covering his mouth, froze instantly.
Chen Ke Yao rarely cursed with such explicit language. He would occasionally use some harmless interjections, but most of the time he was gentle and polite. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Rong Yi had heard him say such nasty words in such a tone.
So, he didn’t feel offended for a moment. He just felt confused, even curious.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“It’s nothing,” he could feel his low mood through the phone, “Get some rest, did you lock the door?”
Rong Yi quickly ran to the door and locked it: “Locked.”
“It’s late, so don’t go out again. Wash up and go to bed,” Chen Ke Yao said again.
Rong Yi hesitated: “Do you really hate him that much?”
The other end was silent for a few seconds, then Chen Ke Yao, who spoke again, directly ignored his question: “Don’t let anyone in either, understand?”
It’s none of your business.
Rong Yi suddenly wanted to answer like that.
But Chen Ke Yao’s tone made him a little panicked, and he subconsciously didn’t dare to go against him. So, he hesitated for a while and nodded: “Okay.”
He found a reason for Chen Ke Yao’s unreasonable behavior in his heart. After all, he paid for this room, so he certainly had the right to not allow anyone in, and that wasn’t too much.
They were both silent for a while, and Chen Ke Yao’s tone became much gentler when he spoke again.
“That, I’m not angry with you, don’t misunderstand.”
Rong Yi hadn’t been very concerned at first, but when he heard him say that, he suddenly felt aggrieved.
“You were so fierce,” he muttered softly into the phone.
Chen Ke Yao apologized immediately: “I’m sorry.”
He paused and then spoke again, his tone becoming very helpless: “But, Rong Yi. I…”
“Hmm?”
Rong Yi subconsciously became a little nervous when he was suddenly called by his full name.
He held his breath and focused all his attention, waiting for Chen Ke Yao’s next words.
But after a long time, the other side just sighed and said, “Rong Yi, you’re really an idiot.”
Rong Yi was stunned, then took a deep breath.
“Tui!”
The author has something to say:
Enthusiastic Netizen B: I just finished editing and transcribing it halfway, and you’re doing this again! Can some people stop rising from the dead!
Enthusiastic Netizen B: I’m so angry that I wrote another typo!
Enthusiastic Netizen B: …It’s better to bring a plastic bag to wall slam him.

You can’t imagine how much psychological preparation Teacher Chen did before he took the initiative to ask for photos.
