MRFD Chapter 59
by VolareChen Ke Yao hesitated for a moment: “Why did you suddenly think of asking this?”
“…Just asking,” Rong Yi said.
He had told a bunch of lies to that netizen named “Seven Melons on One Vine” back then. If the other party was really Chen Ke Yao, it would be too embarrassing to be exposed like this.
But he couldn’t find a way to probe indirectly for a moment. Rong Yi actually wanted to ask Chen Ke Yao, “Do you think I’m especially cute?” but he really couldn’t bring himself to say it.
In the end, he decided to change his approach and send a private message to his enthusiastic netizen later, asking if the confession was successful.
If they matched again, then it would undoubtedly be the person in front of him.
“The reason why I didn’t tell you before was actually because I felt a little embarrassed,” Chen Ke Yao said, completely unaware of his mental activity, while scratching his head, “Liu Yuan and the others laughed when they found out about my pen name. A few writer friends I knew even made up a beautiful woman persona for me, so I was too embarrassed to see people later. I was afraid that if I told you, you would laugh at me.”
“No, I wouldn’t,” Rong Yi shook his head, “I think you’re amazing!”
“…”
“Really,” Rong Yi said, “I read the first book of ‘Searching for the Dragon’ over and over again when I was in college.”
“Oh.” Chen Ke Yao silently turned his head away, revealing half of his slightly flushed face.
The more shy he was, the more enthusiastically Rong Yi spoke: “I’ve watched the movie at least twenty times, it’s simply…”
Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately shut up.
The originally sweet atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
“You didn’t start liking that guy because of that reason, did you?” Chen Ke Yao asked.
“…”
Chen Ke Yao sighed deeply: “Actually, don’t you think that the role isn’t suitable for him?”
If he had to say it, there was indeed a big difference in temperament, but because of his looks, Rong Yi was once completely captivated. Now he was too embarrassed to admit this, Rong Yi cleared his throat and asked, “Then why did you recommend him?”
“We had just gotten together at that time, and the relationship was going well, so I thought I could help him if I had the opportunity,” Chen Ke Yao said.
“…And you even wrote a role that was suitable for him,” Rong Yi said.
Chen Ke Yao looked at him, hesitant to speak.
“It’s all in the past, and I’m not that petty,” Rong Yi muttered softly, then suddenly raised his voice, “But if I ask you now, you must answer honestly.”
Chen Ke Yao looked helpless: “As long as you don’t get angry after hearing it.”
“Why does he call you ‘brother’?” Rong Yi asked. “Is it related to your dad?”
Chen Ke Yao nodded: “Do you remember I told you that my dad once had a crush on his high school homeroom teacher? Mo Yufei is her child.”
“They were together?” Rong Yi asked.
“No,” Chen Ke Yao shook his head. “She died in an accident when she was very young. After my dad heard about this, he was always worried, so he would often visit him. His high school was very close to my house, and my dad always invited him to eat at our house. Over time, he became familiar with me. This may have been the last straw that broke Ms. Lan’s back.”
Rong Yi lowered his head and thought for a while: “Then you’ve known each other for many years, no wonder he seemed to know you so well.”
“I was stupid back then, I liked him so I told him everything.”
Rong Yi looked up: “…Unlike me, who knows almost nothing about you.”
Chen Ke Yao was stunned for a moment, then continued, “But I’ve become smarter now, so I’ll honestly tell you anything you want to know.”
“…”
He could say such pleasing words immediately, it seemed that he had really become a little smarter.
“Then later, because you couldn’t stand each other’s pheromones, he, uh, wasn’t satisfied and went out to find someone else, and you found out?”
“…Actually, I couldn’t accept it unilaterally,” Chen Ke Yao lowered his eyes. “He was born with the ability to sense pheromones that was no different from a Beta, but he was an Alpha. So he didn’t understand how to control his pheromones at all.”
“Wouldn’t that be even worse for you?”
“So in his eyes, he was completely accommodating me.”
“…” Rong Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn’t help but say, “I heard that there’s a surgery to remove an Alpha’s glands.”
Chen Ke Yao shook his head with a wry smile: “Do you think he went out to find someone else because he couldn’t get satisfaction from me?”
“Isn’t that the case?”
“That’s the thinking of a normal person,” Chen Ke Yao said, “But he’s a psychopath.”
“Huh?”
“He doesn’t seem to mind my reactions at all. He can’t even understand why I would be angry if he slept with someone else,” Chen Ke Yao said. “So he always felt that he had sacrificed a lot for me, that he was willing to tolerate me, but I wasn’t willing to accept the complete him.”
“…”
“I won’t talk about it anymore,” Chen Ke Yao frowned. “It makes me angry just thinking about it.”
Actually, after spending time with Mo Yufei yesterday, Rong Yi had noticed that Mo Yufei’s logic was very strange. He said that Chen Ke Yao abandoned him, and Rong Yi once thought he was joking, but now it seemed that he really thought so. When he was just a fan of his, Rong Yi always knew that this person’s thinking was very unconstrained. Fans also enjoyed this, feeling that their idol’s occasional illogical thinking was a huge adorable point. But after actually getting in touch with him, he realized how speechless it was.
He probably really didn’t think that having a relationship with someone other than his lover was a big deal. At least, his standards for himself and for his lover were the same. That’s why he didn’t have any hostility when facing Rong Yi, who should be considered a love rival.
Rong Yi didn’t know if this kind of thinking was right or wrong. But in any case, he and Chen Ke Yao were definitely not suitable.
So, what kind of person was Chen Ke Yao suitable for?
Rong Yi lowered his head and scratched his chin with his finger. Of course, it was himself, who also insisted on being wholeheartedly devoted to the other half.
“What are you so happy about?” Chen Ke Yao asked with a frown.
He was feeling heavy because of reminiscing about the past, and Rong Yi, who should have been standing with him and comforting him, was secretly laughing with his head down, which was really too much.
Rong Yi was embarrassed to say.
His feelings for Mo Yufei were too complicated now. He couldn’t continue to be a fan, but he didn’t want to hate on him either. Because although this person had brought bitter memories to Chen Ke Yao, he was also grateful that he was a bit crazy, which allowed him to pick up a bargain.
Moreover, if it weren’t for his antics yesterday, Rong Yi wouldn’t have impulsively hugged and kissed Chen Ke Yao.
It was that kiss that gave him confidence.
What Chen Ke Yao conveyed between his lips and teeth was not just warmth and passion, not just pheromones, but also many unspoken words.
Those were the evidence that he could be brave again today.
So from a certain point of view, perhaps he should really thank Mo Yufei. It was his unintentional actions that finally made him and Chen Ke Yao understand each other’s feelings.
However, these words were still too embarrassing to say. Rong Yi thought for a while and decided to change the subject again.
“Then… you’re so resistant to Omegas, it has nothing to do with him, right?”
“It’s not resistance,” Chen Ke Yao quickly denied. “I said, I’ll throw up, it’s not because of you, you can’t misunderstand.”
It was just a casual expression, but Chen Ke Yao was so serious that Rong Yi found it a bit funny.
So he could only change his words: “Then what’s the matter with your problem?”
“It’s actually quite simple. You know about my parents’ situation, right?” Chen Ke Yao said, “So I’ve always hoped that I could become a Beta since I was a child. That I wouldn’t be controlled by gender instincts and could freely be with the person I like.”
“…But you’re still freely with the person you like now,” Rong Yi said softly.
Chen Ke Yao looked at him and smiled: “To put it simply, there are still some other factors.”
Rong Yi looked at him, indicating that he should continue.
“I actually differentiated quite late. When you were in middle school, did the school do a health check that included a project where you smelled pheromone samples to predict your secondary gender in advance?”
Rong Yi nodded: “Yes.”
The concentration of pheromones used for testing was very low and would not cause any physiological reactions. But for adolescents who were about to differentiate, their future secondary gender could be roughly determined based on their preferences. The accuracy rate was over 90 percent.
Rong Yi was still a small, white, and soft kid who looked cute at the time. Unsurprisingly, he got the test result that he would become an Omega.
“I couldn’t smell anything that time, and the test result was Beta,” Chen Ke Yao said. “I was extremely happy at the time.”
“…”
“Actually, even after officially differentiating into an Alpha, I didn’t feel very real. Because you almost never smell Omega pheromones in reality, I once thought that the reason why I got that test result was because I really wouldn’t react to anyone’s pheromones.”
“Um… let me interject with a digression,” Rong Yi said cautiously. “So, are you very envious of Mo Yufei?”
Chen Ke Yao was stunned. Then he smiled and lowered his head: “Yes. I thought he was like my ideal at the time.”
Rong Yi nodded and said nothing.
After Chen Ke Yao finished speaking, he suddenly glanced at him, then squeezed his hand: “Ideals also change with time.”
After he said that, he looked at Rong Yi’s eyes very nervously.
Rong Yi couldn’t come back to his senses.
A few seconds later, he suddenly remembered something.
Before, when that netizen who encouraged him described the Omega he liked, in addition to “cute,” he also said that the other person had “a bad temper,” “was moody,” and “easily got angry.”
Looking at Chen Ke Yao, who had a strange sense of crisis in front of him, Rong Yi felt that one of his guesses seemed to have been further confirmed.
It’s just that he wasn’t angry originally, but after realizing this, he felt a little unhappy instead.
But if he lost his temper, it would seem that he really got angry easily.
Rong Yi took a deep breath with a straight face, and then smiled: “It’s okay, you can continue.”
Chen Ke Yao breathed a sigh of relief at this, and also smiled at him, and continued: “At that time, because I wasn’t really interested in Omegas, and I assumed that I was a Beta in my heart, so in some things… maybe I really didn’t think too much and didn’t know how to avoid suspicion.”
“…You accidentally provoked someone?”
“Sort of,” Chen Ke Yao said. “There was a junior who was very compatible with me. I actually just regarded him as a good friend and didn’t think much about it, so we got a little too close.”
“…How close?”
“Don’t misunderstand,” Chen Ke Yao quickly said, “It’s just the kind of relationship where two good brothers are good, we often play together or something.”
“How often?”
Chen Ke Yao hesitated: “Well… every day when school starts and ends…”
“He was an Omega?”
“Yeah,” Chen Ke Yao nodded. “Later… he misunderstood.”
Rong Yi rolled his eyes in his heart.
If that Omega had just a tenth of his power, then he should have considered whether or not to get married after graduation.
The author has something to say:
Regarding the question of “Why hasn’t Teacher Chen recovered after being treated for so long.” You may not believe it when I say it, but only three and a half days have passed since Chapter 46. Teacher Chen has tried his best. As for why they are talking about such a small matter for so long today and will continue to talk about it in the next chapter, it is because they are currently in love. To celebrate, I decided to change the name of the article for half a day.
