MRFD Chapter 61
by VolareChen Ke Yao had been acting awkward and wanting to lean on him since they left the room. When they got into the elevator, he abruptly held out a hand to him.
Rong Yi was momentarily slow to react, “What’s this for?”
Chen Ke Yao looked at him and raised his hand half an inch higher, “I’m lending it to you.”
Rong Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
“You’re so stingy,” he said as he took the hand, “I thought it was already mine, but it’s still just a loan.”
“Oh, that’s right,” Chen Ke Yao said with a chuckle, looking down. “Then remember to keep your own things safe next time.”
Rong Yi held Chen Ke Yao’s hand, happily walked out of the hotel, and then suddenly became a little worried.
It wasn’t obvious indoors, but in the good lighting, Chen Ke Yao’s face looked terribly haggard, making people uneasy. Remembering what he had said earlier, this person probably hadn’t had a good rest for two nights in a row.
“Do you want to go back and sleep for a while?” he asked.
Chen Ke Yao was confused, “Didn’t we say we were going to eat wontons?”
“Aren’t you sleepy?” Rong Yi frowned.
Chen Ke Yao replied while pulling him along with light steps, “Not sleepy. Which way should we go?”
Rong Yi hesitated for a moment, then pointed out the way for him, and was then dragged towards their destination at a rapid pace. Luckily, he was about the same height as Chen Ke Yao, or someone with shorter legs would probably be pulled into a trot.
He kept secretly glancing at Chen Ke Yao’s profile on the way.
This person’s complexion was bad, his expression haggard, and yet he had a strange, exuberant excitement, as if he had just taken drugs.
When he left the house, Rong Yi had wondered if he should take him to the scenic spots he had wanted to visit but hadn’t had the chance to after they finished eating. But seeing him like this, he was afraid that the excitement would wear off and he would faint halfway.
He should just quickly take him back after eating, stuff him into bed, and force him to get some sleep.
When they were almost there, Rong Yi suddenly wanted Chen Ke Yao to try the fried cake he had eaten before. So, to save time, they split up. Chen Ke Yao went to the fried cake shop not far away, and Rong Yi sat in the small wonton shop waiting for him.
When he arrived, the shop was a little crowded, so he quickly occupied two small stools in the corner. He didn’t expect that in the short half-minute it took him to go out to get the wontons, someone had already taken his seat when he turned around.
Two rather sturdy uncles had taken his seats. They had very loud voices. They were smoking and chatting enthusiastically, and didn’t budge even when they saw him standing next to them with a bowl in his hand.
Holding the bowl for too long was quite hot. Rong Yi had no choice but to speak up, “Excuse me, this seat is mine.”
The uncle looked up at him, “There was no one here when we came.”
“But I was just sitting here,” Rong Yi put the bowl on the edge of the table, “I went out to get wontons.”
The uncle repeated the same sentence, “There was no one here when we came.”
Rong Yi was helpless. Just as he was looking around to see which table looked like they were about to finish so he could wait for them, Chen Ke Yao came in with the fried cake.
“What’s going on?” he shouted at Rong Yi from a distance, then walked straight to the table, “No seats?”
Rong Yi looked down at the two uncles with a depressed expression.
So Chen Ke Yao also frowned subconsciously and looked at the two uncles following Rong Yi’s gaze.
The two uncles looked up and stared at Chen Ke Yao’s face for a while, then one of them cautiously stood up.
“You guys can sit here.” The uncle who got up winked frantically at the other one, and when he saw that the other person was slow to react, he simply reached out and pulled him up.
Rong Yi and Chen Ke Yao, standing on the spot, were still a little confused after they quickly left.
Chen Ke Yao pulled over a stool and sat down, “Why are these two people so nice?”
Rong Yi was a little baffled, “They weren’t like this just now.”
Chen Ke Yao looked back and saw that the two men were standing at the door of the shop waiting for a seat, so he shouted at them, “Thank you, big brothers!”
The uncle who had gotten up first waved his hand at him repeatedly, “You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
“Good people,” Chen Ke Yao turned back around, “Let’s eat quickly, and then we’ll make room for them.”
Rong Yi hesitated to speak.
He had a subtle guess in his mind, but after staring at Chen Ke Yao’s face for a long time, he didn’t think it was possible.
Although he had once thought that Chen Ke Yao, with a scar on his face, looked like he was only missing a gold chain to be a mafia boss, now, perhaps because the scar had faded a lot, the tall and slightly serious Alpha in front of him not only didn’t look fierce at all, but even looked quite cute.
His boyfriend, who he had regained after losing him, was not only cute, but also incredibly handsome, with such long legs and a great figure. As long as he didn’t speak, he was perfect. Getting him was a real bargain. The two uncles must have been moved by his handsomeness and initiative gave up their seats.
“Your fried cake,” Chen Ke Yao pushed the bag of fried cake in front of Rong Yi, “I couldn’t help but eat mine on the way here, it’s really delicious. But is this kind of thing hard to make at home?”
Rong Yi nodded.
It was indeed too much trouble to set up such a big oil pot at home. It was wasteful, and it was easy to create a room full of oily smoke. The results might not even be good.
Chen Ke Yao sighed, then picked up a spoon eagerly, “Too bad. Let me try this wonton and see what score it gets.”
Relying on a bit of mental excitement to forcibly support a tired body was indeed not a long-term solution.
Chen Ke Yao, who had eaten his fill, quickly began to yawn and doze off. On the way back, he staggered all the way, making Rong Yi very worried, afraid that he would faint on the spot.
To make him more awake, Rong Yi took the initiative to talk to him.
“What score did you give the small wontons?”
Chen Ke Yao squinted his eyes and thought for a while, “Eighty-eight.”
Rong Yi was surprised, “So precise?”
“Yes,” Chen Ke Yao said, “Delicious, but a little worse than yours.”
“…I haven’t made any yet,” Rong Yi said.
Chen Ke Yao laughed, “I predicted it, it should be close enough.”
This person was really confused, he was starting to talk nonsense.
Rong Yi lowered his head and didn’t look at him, and smiled as he walked along.
“I’ll be conservative and give you 98 points first, and then add the other two points after I’ve eaten it,” Chen Ke Yao continued.
“What’s the reward for a perfect score?”
“Hmm…” Chen Ke Yao thought for a while, “What do you want?”
Rong Yi couldn’t answer.
He turned his head and quickly glanced at Chen Ke Yao, who was a little muddled with sleep, and felt that he didn’t seem to want anything else special at this moment.
If he had to say something, it was that he hoped his troublesome problem would get better soon.
But he also didn’t want Chen Ke Yao to be too anxious. If the mental burden was too heavy, what if the treatment effect got worse?
“Hurry up, what do you want?” Chen Ke Yao shook the hand he was holding, “I’ll grant any request.”
Rong Yi deliberately made it difficult for him, “Then I want world peace.”
Chen Ke Yao actually nodded immediately, “Okay.”
Rong Yi burst out laughing instantly, “You don’t have that much ability.”
“I do,” Chen Ke Yao walked forward with his head lowered, dragging his feet, “My whole world is especially peaceful right now.”
Rong Yi couldn’t respond.
He suddenly thought of something. The first time they were together, this person’s mouth was actually very sweet. When he was conscious, Chen Ke Yao would always say what he liked to hear.
Even during the time they broke up, almost all of his depressing remarks were inadvertently said unconsciously.
This person’s being mean was never intentional, but he was naturally a bit dense.
Probably from his perspective, he really did get angry very inexplicably every time.
Chen Ke Yao took a few steps and started shaking Rong Yi’s hand again, “I also have a wish that only you can fulfill in this world.”
Rong Yi was a little nervous, “Tell me about it?”
“When we get back, I want to eat the shrimp wontons you make.”
“…”
Rong Yi was simply dumbfounded.
He had prepared himself mentally, who knew he would hear him say this.
“Okay?” Chen Ke Yao asked again.
Rong Yi said unhappily, “We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
But Chen Ke Yao was still quite happy to hear that for some reason.
He turned his head and glanced at Rong Yi, and smiled, “Okay, we’ll talk about it when we get back.”
The two of them walked hand in hand near the hotel and found a lot of people standing near the fountain garden at the gate.
There were always people coming and going in and out of the hotel, but these people didn’t look like guests. Rong Yi looked around as he walked and felt like they were waiting for someone.
The first answer that subconsciously popped into Rong Yi’s mind was Mo Yufei.
When he got closer, he found that some of them were carrying professional-looking photography equipment, which further confirmed his guess.
Rong Yi looked back at Chen Ke Yao beside him, who had a disdainful look on his face.
So Rong Yi could only pretend to be completely indifferent. But he never expected that when they approached the hotel gate, those people all turned their eyes on the two of them.
Rong Yi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and subconsciously quickened his pace. Then, someone even raised a camera at him. Rong Yi was puzzled and subconsciously covered his face. Seeing that someone was approaching after the flash to say something, Chen Ke Yao suddenly stood in front of Rong Yi and said, “You’ve got the wrong person.”
His voice was much louder than usual, and his expression was serious, which immediately had a strong deterrent effect.
So until they walked through the automatic door, no one came forward again.
“What’s going on?” Rong Yi couldn’t help but ask as soon as he entered, “What are those people doing?”
“Maybe they thought you were a big star because you’re handsome, so they took some pictures along the way,” Chen Ke Yao said.
Rong Yi felt that this guess was unreasonable. It wasn’t like he looked like this for the first time. In the past, apart from being approached, he had at most been secretly photographed on the subway, but he had never experienced this kind of treatment.
Feeling uneasy, he returned to his room and his phone rang.
He took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Rong Yi hesitated for a few seconds, then vaguely guessed who it was.
Seeing him looking at his phone with a frown but neither hanging up nor answering, Chen Ke Yao leaned over to look at the screen and asked, “Who is it? A salesman?”
Rong Yi hesitated for a moment, but before he could answer, Chen Ke Yao suddenly seemed to remember something and his expression changed.
Then, he grabbed Rong Yi’s phone, pressed reject, and then added the number to the blacklist in one go.
After doing this, the two looked at each other, both with subtle expressions.
Before anyone could speak, Rong Yi’s phone rang again. This time, it was someone he knew calling.
“Ah, this is my colleague Zhang,” Rong Yi said, taking the phone.
The author has something to say:
Rong Yi: I have nothing to do with the word cute. Rong Yi: My boyfriend is so cute. Chen Ke Yao:…? [Manual line break] P.S., although the text doesn’t mention it, Rong Yi took a shower before going out ← important. Another P.S., thank you all for overcoming all difficulties to see my updates these days. I hope Changpei will return to normal as soon as possible!
