MRFD Chapter 58
by VolareIt was a gentle scent quite different from his appearance, a bit like wheat under the sun, or freshly sun-dried blankets still warm. Inhaling it made his whole heart feel soft.
It made one unconsciously addicted, yearning to be completely surrounded and submerged. Immersed in it, he could let go of all vigilance, without worrying about any danger.
Just like Chen Ke Yao himself, gentle and warm, someone he could rely on with peace of mind.
Every time Rong Yi kissed him, he longed for it to last longer.
Unfortunately, Chen Ke Yao wasn’t up to it.
Just when Rong Yi felt the atmosphere was perfect and he hadn’t had enough, Chen Ke Yao suddenly took a big step back, then jumped off the sofa and rushed to the cabinet on the side, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and tilted his head back to chug down more than half the bottle.
Still sitting on the sofa, Rong Yi gaped, dumbfounded.
Chen Ke Yao’s physical discomfort wasn’t entirely unexpected, but the water in that cabinet… it was so expensive. He had noticed it the first day he moved in, and after glancing at the price list, he respectfully put it back.
It was really a high price, making him worry that he wouldn’t be able to afford to kiss him.
Chen Ke Yao was completely unaware of Rong Yi’s inner thoughts. After putting down the water, he stood there taking a few deep breaths, then turned back around, looking quite happy.
But when he sat back down next to Rong Yi, his complexion still didn’t look good.
“What’s wrong with you?” Rong Yi frowned at him.
“I…” Chen Ke Yao squeezed the water bottle until it cracked, “I might really be a bit sick, but I really don’t mean to mess with you. I just…”
“You can’t stand Alpha Pheromones but you were with Mo Yufei,” Rong Yi said, “then I think you can totally be with me too.”
Chen Ke Yao was shocked.
Rong Yi himself was also shocked.
Actually, he had originally planned to first ask Chen Ke Yao why he had the habit of vomiting at Omegas, and then decide whether to confess depending on the situation.
Now, he had completely disrupted the plan, rushing forward so recklessly that even he found it incredible.
But he couldn’t stop.
“Do you even like me or not?”
Under Rong Yi’s gaze, Chen Ke Yao tilted his head back and finished the remaining half bottle of mineral water.
When the empty bottle was placed on the coffee table in front of them, the middle section had already been crushed flat.
“I know that I might seem hard to accept right now,” he frowned slightly, looking at the strangely shaped bottle, “so it was normal that you rejected me last time. But… Rong Yi, I’m serious about you. You’re especially good, I…”
As he spoke, he looked up at Rong Yi, then retreated in a panic: “Wait–”
Rong Yi couldn’t remember what Chen Ke Yao meant by “rejected me last time,” but that wasn’t the point. Right now, he especially wanted to kiss him again.
He pounced with particular force. Chen Ke Yao didn’t have time to react, and fell backwards onto the sofa.
Rong Yi supported himself with his hands on either side of Chen Ke Yao, looked down at him for three seconds, and then couldn’t help himself.
The water was expensive, but this time, he could afford to kiss.
As a result, Chen Ke Yao vomited.
After briefly responding to Rong Yi, he suddenly slapped the back of the sofa, and then, with incredible speed after Rong Yi frowned and looked up, he jumped off the sofa and rushed into the bathroom without looking back.
He didn’t even have time to close the door.
Leaving Rong Yi sitting alone on the sofa, staring blankly in the direction of the bathroom.
A moment later, accompanied by the sound of rushing water, Rong Yi silently pulled over a sofa cushion, hugged it, buried his face in it, and laughed.
Completely different from the plan.
Before confessing, he aggressively forced Chen Ke Yao to confess.
Although he didn’t know the reason yet, he could now be sure that Chen Ke Yao wasn’t vomiting because he hated him. The friend he met online said that he vomited at the Omega he liked because of being moved, maybe Chen Ke Yao had a similar reason.
So, the fact that this person was vomiting so miserably in the bathroom right now was very likely because he liked him.
Rong Yi rolled on the sofa, pounding the cushion in his arms.
He was giddy for a long time, and finally heard the sound of water stopping in the bathroom, so he quickly tried to adjust his breathing, control his expression, and stood up.
Then he found Chen Ke Yao standing at the bathroom door looking quite terrified, his eyes still a little red.
“Rong Yi, listen to me,” he walked to the sofa with a serious expression, carefully licking his lips, “I know this behavior of mine is very off-putting, but there’s a reason for it.”
Rong Yi nodded obediently, “Oh, what’s the reason?”
Chen Ke Yao hesitated, and just as he was about to open his mouth, Rong Yi sat back down on the sofa. He reached out and patted the spot beside him: “Come here, why are you standing so far away from me?”
Chen Ke Yao frowned nervously, looking at him, not moving.
“What’s wrong with you again?” Rong Yi began to wonder, “You’re not going to tell me you still can’t accept it, are you?”
Chen Ke Yao cautiously took a step in his direction, picked up the cushion Rong Yi had been hugging just now, and stuffed it back into his arms.
“No… if you’re angry, just keep hitting this,” he said, “My body is very hard. If someone like you who hasn’t been trained punches me, your own hand will hurt more than I do. It’s not worth it.”
“…” Rong Yi looked down at the cushion, “Huh?”
Then he quickly realized what was going on. Chen Ke Yao saw him frantically hitting the cushion in his arms as soon as he came out, and so he had a misunderstanding.
Rong Yi couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed, but he also wanted to laugh.
He felt that even if Chen Ke Yao really made him angry in the future, he wouldn’t be able to hit him. Firstly, he would be reluctant, and secondly, he couldn’t win. What’s more, before this person’s problem was cured, why resort to violence when a kiss could solve the problem? He felt like he especially liked kissing. If he didn’t care about the consequences, he was confident he could kiss Chen Ke Yao until he was dehydrated from vomiting.
Perhaps because he was silent and had such a rich expression, Chen Ke Yao became very uneasy.
“I’m getting treated, really,” Chen Ke Yao didn’t dare to sit next to him, explaining while standing in place, “You might not be able to feel it yet, but it’s actually a lot better than before.”
“Eh?” Rong Yi was surprised, “Have you already seen a doctor? When did that happen?”
It seemed that the information he got from the helpful netizens was useless.
“It was about half a month after you moved in, it’s been a while,” seeing that Rong Yi didn’t seem to be throwing a tantrum, Chen Ke Yao finally moved over, sat down beside him, and took his hand, “If these things hadn’t happened, I originally wanted to wait until my situation was better before pursuing you again.”
“You like me!” Rong Yi said.
Chen Ke Yao nodded, then suddenly laughed.
“What are you doing?” Rong Yi blushed.
“I don’t know,” Chen Ke Yao said, “I just… feel happy.”
I like you. I think you seem to like me too.
So I tried running forward two steps, and found that you were also running towards me.
So all the previous trials, all the troubles, all the efforts, all had meaning.
So he felt especially happy.
So Rong Yi couldn’t help but laugh along, then turned his head away from him: “Stop it, or I’m going to kiss you again.”
Chen Ke Yao paused, then took his hand and kissed the back of it.
“It’s because I like you that I can’t control this kind of reaction,” he said, “I can’t accept myself having… those kinds of thoughts about Omegas.”
Rong Yi was stunned.
He had seen this reason before.
That helpful netizen who encouraged each other with him was also because of this reason.
Rong Yi carefully recalled the posts he had read at the beginning, and then tentatively asked: “Because of childhood trauma?”
Chen Ke Yao nodded: “Did you already guess?”
Rong Yi suddenly didn’t understand what he meant. But he vaguely guessed another thing. The poster and Chen Ke Yao both had stress reactions to Omegas, and they both happened to fall in love with an Omega, and they both treated that Omega as an Alpha. This was too coincidental. Now, even the reasons for vomiting were eerily similar.
The reason he didn’t think it was necessarily Chen Ke Yao at first was simply because of the gender mismatch and the slight time difference.
But if Lán Shān Yōumèng was Chen Ke Yao, he could be a beautiful female writer, it wouldn’t be strange to choose a female gender on the forum. And the reason why the posting time was a week after the two moved in together, combined with Chen Ke Yao’s recent time to see a doctor, seemed to make sense.
After he moved in, Chen Ke Yao realized his feelings, so he became more and more upset, and couldn’t help but vent on the forum. After that, he went to see a doctor. How smooth.
The most thing that made Rong Yi feel out of sync with himself was that description of the person he liked.
Recalling this, Rong Yi hesitated.
He still felt out of sync with himself.
But thinking of what Mo Yufei said yesterday, he couldn’t help but speculate that perhaps there were very few Alphas in this world whose standards for cuteness were really different from normal humans.
Idle thoughts were useless, Rong Yi immediately decided to subtly ask the question.
He grabbed Chen Ke Yao’s hand: “What’s your name online?”
Chen Ke Yao hesitated: “…Your Teacher Chen.”
Rong Yi frowned.
“Okay, okay,” Chen Ke Yao sighed, “Lán Shān Yōumèng is my pen name. But I didn’t come up with this name, I was too lazy to register at the beginning and directly used Ms. Lan’s account. I originally just wanted to write casually. I didn’t expect it to suddenly become popular, and it was no longer convenient to change the name, so I’ve been using it until now.”
Although Rong Yi had already determined that Chen Ke Yao was Lán Shān Yōumèng, he still felt a little unbelievable now that he heard him admit it.
The person next to him was actually a well-known and long-admired writer, which was completely different from suddenly seeing an idol. Rong Yi looked at Chen Ke Yao, whose expression still had some shyness, and felt that his entire visual interface had suddenly automatically added a filter effect.
This originally somewhat silly guy was now radiating the light of wisdom.
But, what Rong Yi originally wanted to ask about wasn’t this at all.
He took a deep breath, and then continued to ask: “Then you definitely wouldn’t use this pen name when you’re usually online, right? Besides ‘Your Teacher Chen,’ have you used any other IDs?”
