Mr. Rong's Lovelorn Diary

Chapter 3: So you already have a boyfriend?

Translator: DragonRider

Before Rong Yi fell into asleep, he had kept tossing and turning on the bed while failing to send any message.

As the saying goes, good beginning is half the work. It was so rare that an Alpha hadn’t shown any prejudice toward him. And that Alpha happened to be extremely handsome. Rong Yi felt that he had to be careful this time.

He entered a few words, deleted them, felt his heart being in torn, and tossed about on the bed. Then he browsed on Chen Keyao’s Moments and appreciated the photos there. After that, he continued to enter and…delete. After repeating this for a few times, he found that Chen Keyao had updated a new post.

“There are only two months left in this year. Could I accomplish this year’s goal of stopping being single?”

With his hands shaking, he liked that post unintentionally.

When he came back to earth, there was a new message suddenly popping out in the dialog box which he had started at for the whole night.

“I think you might have left something on my car.”

After a short moment of being at a loss, Rong Yi slapped on his leg violently all of a sudden.

That was right, why hadn’t he thought of leaving something on Chen Keyao’s car on purpose? That would be a perfect excuse! Luckily, although he hadn’t thought of this method due to his nervousness, he still must have lost something on Chen Keyao’s car because he was a careless person indeed.

Then Rong Yi replied intensely.

“I’m so sorry. What have I left on your car?”

A cute Emoji was sent back to him immediately with Chen Keyao’s question,

“You don’t even know what you have lost?”

That was awkward. Rong Yi searched all the pockets all over and checked his coat deliberately. After racking his brain right and left, he speculated that the thing he had left was his handkerchief.

Because he always got dizzy when taking the car and smelling the Essential Balm in the public would made him look like an old man, so he was used to applying some balm on the handkerchief. Then he only needed to smell the handkerchief when he felt uncomfortable.

After asking if it was his handkerchief, Rong Yi got a positive answer.

It was not like Rong Yi’s handkerchief was of a famous brand, not to mention that it was full of Essential Balm right now. It didn’t matter if it was lost or not. Besides, Chen Keyao could simply have it delivered to him by express.

However, Chen Keyao asked when Rong Yi would be free and offered to bring the handkerchief to him.

If he still wasn’t in the hallucination that Chen Keyao was willing to be with him, he wouldn’t be Rong Yi!

Now he even had the impulsion to reply straightly: Do you have a thing for me? If so, let’s stop beating around the bush. I’m also fond of you, very much. Why don’t we commit to a relationship now?

At last, Rong Yi gave up this crazy idea, being afraid that he might scare Chen Keyao away.

Then he might as well just let Chen Keyao bring the handkerchief. And he could use this as an excuse to invite Chen Keyao to dinner. That would be great. After they had met each other for enough times, they might even have children by then.

So Rong Yi expressed his great thanks on WeChat. Then he made an appointment with Chen Keyao in haste to meet after two days when he was off duty.

After spinning around twelve times in the room excitedly, Rong Yi turned around and saw a handkerchief which was folded right on his table.

And that was supposed to be the only handkerchief he had.

Rong Yi stared at the handkerchief blankly for a long while before he squatted down on the ground with his head in his hands.

He was well aware that he often tended to daydream. And most of the time, he wouldn’t take his thoughts seriously.

But this time, it had to be real.

It would be against God’s will if he still couldn’t find his ideal mate this time.

.

Though Rong Yi was a bit negligent in the ordinary times, he still had a high standard for his appearance.

As for his everyday wear, he would pay attention not to wear the same clothes in one week. What’s more, he always kept his clothes tidy and his haircut fresh and cool. Those good habits which had been developed by him before, somehow, only won the favors from the Omegas.

After all, a tall and good-looking ‘Alpha’ who acted decently without any obscene manners was already hard to find. Let alone that he was always clean and tidy while having a good taste in dressing.

Unfortunately, the person he really wanted to appeal never had a thing for him.

He felt like he had been ogling blind guys for so many years. Now finally he could dress up for someone who might like him, which got his mind excited and fluttered. He even asked for a half day off in the afternoon in order to design a style for himself at home.

After specially applying a facial mask, he washed his hair and blew it carefully. Then he changed around four or five sets of clothes in front of the mirror. When he was about to leave home, he was super confident about himself.

However, he got panicky again as he arrived at the appointed meeting place.

If ignoring his gender, Rong Yi could be regarded as the gorgeous type. However, the gender was a huge problem. And no one would neglect that. When Rong Yi dressed himself up, he would consider if the clothes were fit for him instead of picking the one he liked. After all, according to the type he preferred, he would definitely try on that bright-colored hoodie which looked energetic on an Omega who was not far away from him on the street.

However, he knew that the salespersons would tell him that they didn’t have the right size for him.

Thinking of that, Rong Yi continued to look into the glass of the mall to check his look while sighing secretly that he was so handsome that he even wanted to marry himself.

But what if Chen Keyao, as an Alpha, would resent his look?

“Hello?” A girl with waist-length hair walked toward him shyly and raised her head to look at him, saying, “Excuse me... Can I...I”

Rong Yi had encountered the same situations more than dozens of times. As he was sighing inwardly, he still showed a calm expression on his face and said, “What can I do for you?”

“Can I have your number?” The girl asked.

He could see that she was the blunt type.

As Rong Yi was planning to reject her, something suddenly echoed in his mind. Then he answered, “Sorry, I am waiting for my... boy, boyfriend.”

He blushed immediately after those words. “My boyfriend…” It was the first time he ever used this title to call someone. His feeling now was beyond expression. However, he never asked the guy which he had called boyfriend if he was willing to accept that title. So he seemed to be a bit shameless of saying that.

Nevertheless, taking advantage of someone else made him feel a bit ashamed but also delightful.

Being caught in his own imagination, he didn’t even notice when that girl had left.

When he was about to take out his phone to check the time, someone whispered to him abruptly, “So you already have a boyfriend?”

Rong Yi, being startled at once, almost dropped his phone on the ground.

“Be careful,” Chen Keyao who had shown up from nowhere held Rong Yi up, though it was not necessary. Then he said, “Sorry, have I just freaked you out?”

Rong Yi asked with his red face, “When did you arrive?”

“Five minutes ago.” Chen Keyao turned around and pointed at the long bench behind his back in a short distance from here. “I saw you thinking something in earnest and didn’t find a chance to greet you.”

Rong Yi didn’t dare to look at Chen Keyao with his head lowered, “... I was only talking nonsense just now. It would be easier to reject girls by saying that.”

“That makes sense.” Chen Keyao nodded while smiling. After that, he pointed to the mall next to him, saying, “Why don’t we find a place to sit?”

.

When they had made the appointment, they had only mentioned returning the handkerchief.

However, they had chosen to meet at dinner time in a shopping center on purpose, which meant that they did have a tacit understanding.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Rong Yi even found out that Chen Keyao had already reserved a table for them.

Then it was no doubt a date.

During his twenty-six years life in this world, he had been treated like a brother by countless Alphas, so he had also eaten dinner with Alpha alone. However, today it felt completely different.

It was the first time that an Alpha showed the utmost solicitude to him. Chen Keyao pulled out the seat for him before he sat and asked his favorite flavor before ordering the food. This handsome Alpha even praised his coat. Before they left, Chen Keyao even pretended to go to the bathroom and paid for the bill secretly.

Before he met Chen Keyao, Rong Yi always thought that only the rough type of Alpha would be attractive. Now he had already totally changed his preference. Now Rong Yi only waited for Chen Keyao to confess his feelings. And Rong Yi would answer a ‘yes’ without any hesitation.

However, Chen Keyao mentioned nothing about that.

He asked many things about Rong Yi at the first as if he really wanted to get to know about Rong Yi. But as nervous as Rong Yi was, he had already tried his best to hold the chopsticks steadily. So he was scared that he, not being in his right mind, would destroy Chen Keyao’s impression on him by making irresponsible remarks. So he cherished his words as gold.

Chen Keyao wasn’t willing to push Rong Yi so hard. Therefore, Chen Keyao started to talk about funny things from his work. It was obvious to see that he really liked those kids. As he mentioned them, even his smile got a bit softened, which made his clean-cut appearance look gentle. The longer Rong Yi looked at Chen Keyao, the more he liked this Alpha. Rong Yi had never been so attracted.

After the dinner, Chen Keyao offered to drive Rong Yi home again. At that moment, Rong Yi felt an overwhelming urge to confess his feelings. However, this Omega who often bared his heart even if there was only a slim hope suddenly became cautious this time.

Maybe Chen Keyao was that kind of guy who could only be warmed up slowly and liked to cultivate their relations little by little. Rong Yi didn’t want Chen Keyao to think that he was too flighty. So he decided to wait a bit longer.

After twenty-six years’ bachelor life, he could live with that.

It was only until they arrived at the door of Rong Yi’s apartment did Rong Yi finally manage to refrain the impulse of making love confession.

“Thanks for today.” Rong Yi spoke that with his head lowered because he was too shy to look at Chen Keyao’s face, “Next time, I...”

‘I’ll buy you dinner,’ he finished that in his heart.

“I was afraid that you would feel my invitation so abrupt,” Chen Keyao said as Rong Yi stammered, “So I can still meet you next time, right?”

‘Abrupt? I won’t feel abrupt even if you want to come to my home right now!’

‘There’s no one in my house.’ Rong Yi thought that, still saying nothing.

Seeing Rong Yi being in a silence, Chen Keyao stopped asking and got out of the car to open the car door for him.

“Good night?” he said to Rong Yi.

While staring at Chen Keyao’s handsome face, Rong Yi had a hunch that this would be a sleepless night for him.

.

As he entered his house blankly, a strong sense of unreality suddenly welled up in his mind.

That was so strange. How could he meet something so wonderful? Such a dreamy Alpha would have so many pursuers. How could Chen Keyao still be single? And clearly, he fancied Rong Yi. How unbelievable was that!

So, all those frustrations he had suffered from his love experiences were actually some kind of cultivation for him before he met a perfect soul mate?

That was just too good to be true. Would Chen Keyao be a fraud?

But what could Rong Yi be cheated for? Money? His body?

Having worked for four years, though Rong Yi earned much more than his peers, he still didn’t have too many savings due to his irresponsible spending and the expensive house rent.

So a financial scam seemed to be unlikely. After all, it was not like Chen Keyao would trick him into borrowing loans. That was such a waste of time.

As for his body... It didn’t hurt to be taken advantage of by someone like Chen Keyao, right?

While Rong Yi was still pondering, his phone rang. A message was sent to him by Chen Keyao who had just parted from him.

“Sorry, I just remembered that I have forgotten to give back your handkerchief.”

‘Where did you get my handkerchief? It is lying on my desk.’ Rong Yi stared at his phone while thinking of that, bursting into a laughter.

Well, Chen Keyao was surely a liar.

But Rong Yi decided to give his heart to this liar.
