MRFD Chapter 54

Rong Yi, who had just barely regained some composure, instantly tensed up again.

He froze, motionless, looking at Mo Yufei across from him who was smiling as he watched him, even his breathing hitched.

Mo Yufei quickly retracted his hand, but the sensation left on the tip of Rong Yi’s chin lingered. He felt his mind suddenly become muddled, completely unable to figure out the specific meaning behind the other’s earlier action.

It was an action with obvious ambiguous implications. But in the current situation, occurring between him and Mo Yufei, it was hard to dare to think in that direction.

Rong Yi felt that his perception of himself was clear and objective. He did indeed have a face that could be considered handsome, he knew that. But his appearance had nothing to do with being cute, he was also very clear about that.

So the person in front of him, after actively showing off his understanding and familiarity with Chen Ke Yao, said such unrealistic words with an ambiguous posture, was most likely… being sarcastic? Or even provocative?

Rong Yi completely entered a state of alert.

Becoming rivals in love with the male god in his heart, this feeling was truly incredibly awful and faintly stimulating.

After hesitating again and again, he finally mustered up his courage and took the initiative to ask, “You and Chen Ke Yao… are you very familiar?”

“He really didn’t mention anything to you?” Mo Yufei thought for a moment, “Are you curious about this now because you care about him… or because you care about me?”

This question was unexpected, and Rong Yi didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

Mo Yufei still looked at him with a smile: “If the answer is the latter, then I will tell you.”

Rong Yi couldn’t quite handle his gaze. He had noticed it from the stage earlier, Mo Yufei always liked to look directly into the other person’s eyes when talking to people, without dodging or avoiding, and being looked at for a long time inevitably made his heart beat faster and become flustered.

He remained silent, but Mo Yufei didn’t seem to mind. He propped his chin with one hand and tapped the table a few times with his index finger on the other, thinking seriously for a while before opening his mouth and saying, “If I had to say it, it would be that he started with me and then abandoned me, right?”

“…What?” Rong Yi felt that he didn’t understand, “He did what to you?”

“I’m so miserable,” Mo Yufei’s expression seemed quite serious, “Unilaterally broken up with, blacklisted from all contact methods, persistently sending him tickets to every event for the past few years and never being acknowledged. Finally, today I heard that the reserved seat was signed for, and as a result…”

Rong Yi was dumbfounded.

“The one who came was the little cutie who lives with him,” Mo Yufei shook his head and sighed, “Too devastating.”

“I, I’m not! That…”

Rong Yi didn’t know which point to start denying from for a moment, and was very flustered.

But Mo Yufei still had a leisurely appearance: “Isn’t it particularly tragic?”

Rong Yi swallowed hard: “…So, you really were together?”

Mo Yufei shrugged, which was considered tacit consent.

Although it completely matched his previous guess, being admitted to his face still felt like a strong shock. Rong Yi was in a daze for a long time, then suddenly felt that something was not right.

According to Mo Yufei’s statement, Chen Ke Yao unilaterally dumped him. But Chen Ke Yao was so bitter and deeply resentful, he looked more like the one who was let down.

“What are you thinking about without saying a word?” Mo Yufei looked at him with interest, “Your expression is so rich.”

“So… you kept sending him tickets because you still… have lingering affection?” Rong Yi asked cautiously.

“Yeah.” Mo Yufei said.

His tone and expression were too frank, causing Rong Yi to be unable to react for a moment.

After being stunned for a long time, he asked, “…Are you okay telling me this so directly?”

“Are you recording?” Mo Yufei asked.

“…No.”

“Then it doesn’t matter, right.”

“…”

Mo Yufei smiled at him, then picked up his chopsticks again: “I’ve been busy talking, the dishes are going to get cold. You’ve only eaten this much, be careful you’ll be hungry in the middle of the night.”

Rong Yi was in no mood to eat.

“Then what did you want when you asked me to come over today…?”

“I wanted to treat you to a meal,” Mo Yufei said, pausing for a moment, “Ah, people have always said that I’m particularly abrupt in doing things. Did I scare you?”

Rong Yi felt that he had indeed been thoroughly frightened today.

The male god he had been fascinated with for a long time was his crush’s ex-boyfriend, and still missed his crush to this day. Today’s feast was undoubtedly to give him a show of strength.

What should he do now, should he quickly bluff a bit and pretend that he and Chen Ke Yao were very close so that he would give up?

Rong Yi rubbed his hands frantically under the table.

But, this person was Mo Yufei. Wouldn’t that be a bit of an overestimation of himself?

As he was struggling, Mo Yufei said again: “However… although I was a little disappointed when I saw it wasn’t him, I was very surprised to find that it was you.”

Rong Yi stiffly looked at him, trying to analyze the implications of these words.

“Look, I said yesterday that I would see you tomorrow, and today I really did see you,” Mo Yufei smiled at him again, looking straight into his eyes as he had done just now, “Wouldn’t you say that’s a special fate?”

Rong Yi silently swallowed.

A demonstration of power, this must be a demonstration of power. He couldn’t lose here, he had to be strong, he had to look back.

He silently cheered himself on in his heart, finally bravely engaging in a long-term eye contact with Mo Yufei for the first time.

Then Mo Yufei’s smile became even more obvious.

Rong Yi couldn’t hold on any longer. Every corner of Mo Yufei’s eyes and eyebrows was on the point that most struck his heart. His slightly smiling appearance now looked gentle and affectionate, and Rong Yi had only seen it through the screen before, and every time he was moved to the point of not being able to control himself.

Rong Yi felt that he was completely defeated. Probably no one could persist in such a gaze without blushing, it must be human instinct to unconsciously accelerate their heartbeat.

…Did Chen Ke Yao also have the same thoughts?

After this thought suddenly popped into his head, all the romantic feelings vanished. In an instant, even Rong Yi’s heart turned cold.

What should he do?

Chen Ke Yao cared so much, did he also miss him? He didn’t come to the meet-and-greet because he was afraid that he couldn’t control himself if he saw him.

He really wanted to go home immediately and burn all the merchandise he had received to ashes, completely eliminating all possibilities of Mo Yufei’s face appearing in Chen Ke Yao’s sight again.

His heart was in a state of chaos, but the person who was still staring at him was calm and composed.

“Is there something on the corner of your mouth?” He suddenly said to Rong Yi.

Rong Yi was busy writing scripts in his head, and his reaction was a little slow. After a moment of blankness, just as he was about to raise his hand to wipe it off, he saw Mo Yufei reaching out to him across the table again.

The moment Mo Yufei’s thumb touched the corner of his lips, Rong Yi trembled all over.

He felt that it might be because he was too nervous that he had the illusion that Mo Yufei’s finger lingered on his face for an unnaturally long time. His thumb slowly and gently wiped across the corner of his lips, and before leaving, he seemed to deliberately press down slightly.

Then, Rong Yi watched him retract his hand, lower his head, and lightly lick his thumb with the tip of his tongue.

“Ah, it’s sauce.” Mo Yufei said.

“…”

Rong Yi’s brain, which was about to break down, was completely unable to analyze the rationality of the other party’s actions just now.

Mo Yufei glanced at him again, then suddenly said, “It’s getting late, shall we go back?”

Mo Yufei drove on the way back.

There were only two of them in the car. This made Rong Yi, who was still thinking about his mobile phone, feel very uneasy.

When he got into the car, he originally wanted to go to the back seat, but Mo Yufei took the initiative to open the door of the passenger seat for him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit in.

Along the way, Mo Yufei took the initiative to chat with him about something or other.

But Rong Yi answered absentmindedly.

He felt that his mentality towards this person was very subtle now.

He had liked Mo Yufei for a long time, at least much longer than he had liked Chen Ke Yao. But these two feelings were different and could not be compared. And who in this world would have a good impression of their rival in love?

Therefore, Mo Yufei, who acquiesced that he and Chen Ke Yao had something going on, would definitely not like him either.

After all, he still had many years of admiration for Mo Yufei, while for Mo Yufei, he had no other identity except for being a rival in love.

This was really sad.

After Mo Yufei drove the car into the hotel parking lot, he didn’t rush to open the door. He took a hat out of the car’s storage box and put it on Rong Yi’s head.

Rong Yi touched his head, feeling slightly flustered. He had just seen Mo Yufei wearing this hat himself.

Even if the relationship was a bit subtle now, the mentality of a long-time fan was still difficult to disappear immediately. Things that idols have used always have special value.

“You go down first and wait for me at the elevator door,” Mo Yufei said, “I’ll be there in a while.”

“Then this…”

“I’ll give it to you.” Mo Yufei said.

Actually, thinking about it carefully, he could have said goodbye when he got out of the car just now, and it didn’t seem necessary to meet up specifically after getting off the elevator.

But since he had already agreed, Rong Yi honestly waited at the elevator door.

While wandering back and forth in that small area, he couldn’t help but take off the hat and look at it a few times in his hand, then put it back on, and then repeatedly looked left and right in the mirrored elevator door.

Halfway through, the elevator door suddenly opened.

Rong Yi quickly took off his hat and stood at attention.

Sure enough, it was Mo Yufei who came out from inside. As soon as he saw Rong Yi, he immediately smiled again.

“Sorry, did you wait long,” he said, walking out from inside, then naturally took Rong Yi’s hand, “Let’s go.”

Rong Yi didn’t realize something was wrong until he was dragged forward a few steps: “You, that…”

He subconsciously wanted to break free, but the other party held on tightly: “It’s okay, there’s no surveillance in this corridor. I wouldn’t be that careless.”

As he spoke, Rong Yi had been led by him to the door diagonally opposite his room.

He looked back at his door, wanting to say something, but the electronic prompt tone of a successful card swipe had already sounded beside him.

After the door was opened, he was immediately pulled in by Mo Yufei, who was still holding his hand.

It wasn’t until he was pressed against the door panel, and Mo Yufei in front of him was so close that it was unnatural, that he suddenly came back to his senses and realized that things seemed completely different from what he had thought.

Mo Yufei had also hugged him on stage today. But now, his body language was completely different from then.

“What, what do you want to do?” Rong Yi asked.

Mo Yufei frowned slightly, but the corners of his lips were still raised: “Guess?”

The author has something to say:

Teacher Chen, who has no scenes today, sincerely invites everyone to savor the last sentence he said in the main text.

——

Mo Yufei: Is there a conflict between me wanting to win back my ex and me wanting to hit on his current boyfriend?
