Mr. Rong's Lovelorn Diary

Chapter 21: The embarrassment is killing me.

Translator: DragonRider

Rong Yi felt that his embarrassment quota had been thoroughly overdrawn.

At dinner time that day, the atmosphere at the table was almost suffocating.

When a usually big-hearted and straightforward guy tried to hide his feelings deliberately, the result would always be particularly awkward. Liu Yuan tried very hard to behave naturally in front of them, but unfortunately, it was clear that he overexerted himself and achieved the opposite effect.

When seeing that Liu Yuan, with his stiff moves and evasive eyes, dropped food on the table again and yet still took a big mouthful of rice, finally Rong Yi couldn’t help kicking Chen Keyao under the table.

Chen Keyao looked at him and didn’t say anything.

While Liu Yuan’s mind was drifting afar, Rong Yi quickly take the opportunity to mouth the words at Chen Keyao.

“Didn’t you explain to him?”

When in the kitchen just now, after they had looked at each other in dilemma for quite a while, Chen Keyao said he would go and explain to Liu Yuan, and then followed him out.

But when Rong Yi finished cooking and put dishes out on the table one by one, there was still an awkward atmosphere between Chen Keyao and Liu Yuan in the living room.

Up to now, dinner was almost finished, and Rong Yi was almost certain that Chen Keyao’s so-called explanation work had not been implemented at all. He glared at Chen Keyao whose face showed a very complex expression and decided to take the matter into his own hands.

For this kind of topic, the more you try to hide, the more deliberate and conspicuous it looks. On the contrary, sincere openness will make it more natural and persuasive.

Rong Yi believed that it would be the best if he explained directly at the table in front of everyone.

“Well,” he said after clearing his throat deliberately, “Liu Yuan, you came into the kitchen just now…”

Before he could finish, Liu Yuan, who was drinking the soup just then, sprayed out all the liquid in his mouth in shock.

Chen Keyao, sitting opposite him, instantly assumed a defensive posture. Unfortunately, he was one second too slow, and was sprayed all over his head and face. Chen Keyao jumped up at once and said, “Damn, you’re absolutely disgusting…”

He stood up immediately and went to the bathroom, leaving Liu Yuan, who was wiping his mouth at a nonplus, and Rong Yi, who was looking a bit stiff after being interrupted, staring at each other in embarrassment.

“I… I didn’t see anything, “Liu Yuan suddenly said.” I suddenly went blind at that moment. ”

“No, I meant to say…”

“Don’t worry, I’m deaf too.” Liu Yuan hastened to add.

“…” Rong Yi felt helpless, “Actually some things are not like what you see or hear.”

Liu Yuan hesitated for a moment: “Ah, I know. Keyao has told me that you two are not in that kind of relationship. I… I don’t have any disbelief or suspicion.”

“…”

Just then, Chen Keyao had finished washing his face and returned to his seat.

Seeing that the atmosphere was still delicate, he tentatively asked Rong Yi, “Have you told him everything?”

Not yet! Rong Yi wanted to explain it openly, honestly and justly, but the conversation somehow just couldn’t carry on.

“Okay, I don’t care how this guy has explained it to you,” he smacked on the table. “Actually, it was just because…”

Rong Yi had started his speech with a great momentum, but suddenly got stuck here.

‘Actually, I got drunk yesterday and bought a box of condoms by mistake and ate them as sweets.’

… Why couldn’t he spit that out? And why didn’t it seem very credible either?

No wonder Chen Keyao didn’t explain it clearly. He was afraid that the truth would spoil Rong Yi’s image and wanted to save some dignity for him.

Rong Yi swallowed his saliva and looked at Chen Keyao again. Chen Keyao blinked his eyes twice, and then turned his head away in silence. Judging from his shaking shoulders, he was obviously recalling the scene from last night again and he just couldn’t help laughing.

“Anyway, if you say no, then it’s a no,” Liu Yuan said. “Just spare me, and don’t make eyes at each other anymore.”

.

‘Although we were making eyes at each other in the kitchen with a box of condoms in hand, there really is no unspeakable relationship between us. The reason why we can’t explain it is because the truth is too embarrassing to be shared.’

Even Rong Yi started to find himself suspicious.

So he did not manage to clarify the misunderstanding until Liu Yuan was about to go home.

As Liu Yuan was leaving, he tried to say something several times but in the end he left without saying anything.

.

As soon as he and Chen Keyao were left alone in the apartment, Rong Yi returned to his room immediately and closed the door.

It wasn’t long before Chen Keyao came knocking at the door again with a stool.

“I think it’s better for you to explain it to him,” he said to Rong Yi very seriously after sitting down. “Liu Yuan has a small brain but a big mouth. Right now he must be thinking that you’ve been having an affair, and it wouldn’t be good if he spilled this out into your boyfriend’s ears.”

Rong Yi’s eyes were fixed on Chen Keyao’s left hand as he spoke.

“What are you doing with this stuff?”

An Alpha, at such late night, walked unabashedly into an Omega’s room with a box of condoms. If he hadn’t seen Chen Keyao vomiting last night, Rong Yi would have started imagining things again.

Chen Keyao looked down at the box of condoms in hand and then handed it over to Rong Yi. “I’m returning it to you.”

Rong Yi was stunned, but did not respond.

“I won’t be able to use them,” Chen Keyao said. “Since you’ve bought them, don’t waste them.”

“…”

As Rong Yi was not responding, Chen Keyao simply put the box on the desk beside them.

As he was walking out with his stool, Rong Yi suddenly said, “Wait a minute!”

Chen Keyao turned around and said, “What’s the matter?”

Rong Yi looked at him, wanting to laugh: “… You won’t be able to use them at all?”

“…”

In fact, Rong Yi wouldn’t have any use of them either, but now he finally realized the benefits of having a fake lover. Having been mocked for eating condoms all day, he was finally able to stand up tall and look down upon this Alpha.

“Mr. Chen, aren’t you a little pessimistic?” Rong Yi looked at him. “You may not use them now. Maybe in future. Since you’re so sure, could it be …”

Chen Keyao looked at him: “I have no problem with my function, but unfortunately it is not convenient to demonstrate it to you. ”

“…”

What Rong Yi meant to say was: could it be that he had never had a successful love affair?

Being refuted by him like this, Rong Yi blushed unconsciously.

At critical moments, he was always short of best responses to show his wisdom. Rong Yi stared at him, tightened his lips and tried to say something. Unfortunately, before he could organise his words, the other party had once again shifted his eyes and walked toward the door.

“I don’t have any use of these because your size doesn’t fit me,” Chen Keyao said as he walked out. “You should keep this box for yourself to chew slowly.”

Rong Yi was instantly choked and speechless.

.

That evening, Rong Yi lay in bed and came up with at least one hundred plans for retaliation. Unfortunately he had lost his chance, and all he could do was just pounding his own chest and stamping his feet under his duvet.

But at the same time, he couldn’t help being curious.

Zhou Li’s casual remarks while waiting for the elevator did lead to some suspicion when Rong Yi thought about it carefully. Chen Keyao seemed to have said something similar when he mistook himself for an Alpha, fearing that his pheromone odour would make Rong Yi uncomfortable.

From childhood to adulthood, Rong Yi met many Betas who fell in love with each other at first sight and a pair of loving Omegas. The former were not sensitive to pheromones, and the latter did not find each other’s odours repulsive either.

‘So Alphas, who only like the same-sex partners, must be the most miserable sexual orientation in the world?’

The more Rong Yi thought about this, the more curious he became. Still lying in bed, he started to search for information on this. Soon he opened the door to a whole new world.

On the Internet, any minority can always find a large number of people of the same kind as themselves. Rong Yi easily found a relevant forum, and after clicking into the area for relationship discussions, the page was filled with complaint posts.

Although the specific details were different, in general, they were all complaining about the disharmony caused by pheromones.

There was an outcry post, which was particularly miserable, but somehow made Rong Yi laugh.

The post author said that he had been with his Alpha lover for two years and had not yet successfully achieved the ‘Great Harmony’ of life. As a gender with a natural desire for control and domination, neither of them was willing to lie down obediently. When they were in bed, they would either fight with their ‘daggers’ and eventually both wilted, or the ambience was just right but they couldn’t control their pheromone leakage and became irritable. In the worst case, the two people even had a real fight in bed and almost broke up.

At the end of the post, the post author asked if any friends who had undergone glandular surgery could share their experience. He and his partner were both a bit eager to try.

Rong Yi was curious about this operation, so he scrolled down to read the replies, and saw someone shared a link, saying that he had posted a post about this surgery procedure in the past and hoped it would help the author.

Rong Yi went into that post and looked around for a while. He was shocked.

For the first time, he learned that there was this kind of Alpha gland removal surgery. The procedure was painless, but irreversible, and would leave the patient with a lot of sequelae. The only advantage was that pheromone spillovers could be reduced by 90%.

Almost all the people who had done it said there were many side effects, but still many people chose to try. After all, this seemed to be the only way at the time for two Alphas to get together smoothly.

Although some posts claimed that there were still very few Alphas did not suffer resistance to the same sex pheromone, the proportion was far too low. Others opted for Betas as their partner, but that was not very satisfactory after all.

It was so tragic that Rong Yi had a profound sympathy for this group and even found Chen Keyao less obnoxious now.

He spent a long time in bed browsing happily. Although yawning uncontrollably, he was reluctant to go to sleep.

Just when he decided to read one last post and then immediately put down his mobile phone, at a swipe of his thumb he suddenly saw a very intriguing headline.

[Tree Cave] I thought that this time I could finally leave the single group successfully, only to find that the other party was an Omega???????????

Rong Yi was astonished, and he clicked on the topic with a frown.

The post didn’t write in detail, but Rong Yi felt he could almost visualise every detail.

The author said that a few days ago, he happened to know a person who was exactly his cup of tea so he courted him and tried to date him and the relationship was quickly established. In the process of intimacy, he was secretly very happy that they accepted each other’s pheromones well, but eventually he found out that his partner was actually an Omega.

The whole story had been particularly blurred by the author, but the post itself was still quite long because the author used at least five hundred words to describe the appearance of that Omega who looked like Alpha, and there was a lot of boasting.

Some people immediately found this puzzling, saying “since he looked just like an Alpha Omega and you were not resisting to his pheromones, you might as well try dating him for a while. Are you the kind of extremist who can’t accept that some people can become moist automatically”?

The author replied that there was no such a thing. It was just because of some of his childhood experiences or shadows as he grew up, he could not accept his own desire for Omegas. Once he realised that he fancied an Omega, there would be a stress response.

The author’s notes:

This forum also has a friendship area, under which is the comments area.

Everyone makes friends in the friendship area. You can argue with each other after you meet, then go report this person to the whole community in the comments area to warn everyone if he/she is a jerk.
