Mr. Rong's Lovelorn Diary

Chapter 45: I saw you.

Translator: DragonRider

Rong Yi did think seriously about his self-help plan.

Although he kept saying he would move out as soon as possible from the day he moved in, he had never taken the initiative to find a house during this period. He kept telling himself that it was because he was too busy, and he was temporarily in short money.

But now he was already well-off, and as for Chen Keyao, he knew he should not cherish any hope. Therefore, he planned to wait until the completement of the work at this stage and after participating in the fan meeting, he would immediately set about seriously finding a place to live, and then move out as soon as possible. During this time, if not necessary, he would try his best to avoid meeting his landlord.

Before that episode, everything went on smoothly.

His move that day produced stronger frightening power than he had imagined, causing Chen Keyao to avoid him all these days. All these days, though they lived under the same roof, they even never saw each other.

Rong Yi thought this might be the end.

At the moment, staring at the message in front of him, he didn’t dare allow himself to feel the surprise. He could only feel confused and helpless.

During this time in his daze, Chen Keyao sent three pieces of message in one breath.

“It seems to be very difficult to call a taxi where you dined. Stay put. I am coming right now.”

So Chen Keyao knew where he dined tonight. He was almost sure this was Liu Yuan’s work. Rong Yi subconsciously glanced at the roadside and saw a long line of taxis waiting to pick up passengers. Then he carefully entered his reply.

“OK.”

.

Chen Keyao arrived much sooner than he imagined.

Rong Yi saw the familiar car passing by the long line of taxis and stopping at the roadside. Then, his mobile phone vibrated.

After answering it, he heard the same familiar voice from the opposite side.

“I have arrived. Where are you?”

Rong Yi was not far from him. He was wearing a dark coat. Standing in the shadow beside a small flowerbed, he stayed motionless and was particularly unobtrusive.

“You do? How come I couldn’t see you?” he crouched down and whispered.

Then, as expected, Chen Keyao came out of the car. He looked around, holding the phone by his ear, “I am standing before the garage sign. I have raised my hand. Can you see me?”

“No,” said Rong Yi. “Could you wave your hand?”

And the next moment, Chen Keyao was actually waving his hand widely.

Rong Yi lowered his head and laughed silently.

After a few days, he finally heard Chen Keyao’s voice again, and he quite missed it. This person who he hadn’t seen for a few days was still as stupid as before, making him want to laugh uncontrollably.

Rong Yi guessed when they met in person in a while, he might not be able to continue watching him and talking to him like this.

“Still couldn’t see me?” Chen Keyao walked around and grabbed his hair with a helpless look on his face. “Have I arrived at the wrong place?”

“...I saw you.” Rong Yi stood up and ran to him.

.

Sure enough, when they met, the atmosphere became awkward.

Rong Yi sat on the back seat of the car as usual. Because no one spoke all the way, he had to pretend to be sleeping.

This went on until Chen Keyao suddenly braked when the car was about to pass a crossroad. Rong Yi, eyes closed, instantly slipped forward and his head hit the back of the front seat.

He rubbed his head, looked forward and saw a young woman rushing to the middle of the road, picking up a child who was sitting in a trance on the ground. While she took the child back, she gestured towards Chen Keyao’s car in apology. Chen Keyao lowered the car window and waved at her.

Then Rong Yi heard him whispering. “I was almost scared to death.”

Rong Yi did not make a sound.

After that, the man looked back and asked, “Are you okay?”

“Yes.” Rong Yi nodded his head.

Then, the vehicle drove on in silence again.

Rong Yi sneaked a glance at the rearview mirror, and unexpectedly they looked right into each other’s eyes through that small glass.

They both hurried to look away. After a few seconds, Chen Keyao suddenly broke the silence.

“Are you going out on a long journey in two days?” he asked.

“Yes.” Feeing confused after answering, he added, “How do you know?”

After hesitating for a while, Chen Keyao replied, “I saw you take the suitcase out.”

Rong Yi’s suitcase was placed in the storage room. He went there after work the day before yesterday to take it out to prepare for the trip. But during the whole process, the door of Chen Keyao’s room was closed tightly. Was it possible that Chen Keyao could know what he was doing just by listening behind the wall?

After a moment of doubts, Rong Yi suddenly remembered something that was important but had been ignored by him all this time. Chen Keyao once installed a camera in the corner of the living room.

So all the care and caution he had took to move around the house these days might have been seen by Chen Keyao as well.

And before that, he occasionally forgot to take clothes for change after bath and had to run back to his room half-naked. This might also have been seen.

This was a little embarrassing.

“Would you often check the monitor when bored?”

“...No.” Chen Keyao denied.

Rong Yi felt a little displeased, but he was actually partly responsible. Chen Keyao had already told him that he had installed a camera, but he never cared about it. He could only hope that this person was usually not that bored.

Silence fell again in the car. Rong Yi couldn’t help but ask, “So you have seen me take out the suitcase... Why don’t you guess that I am moving out?”

Chen Keyao asked him in turn after hesitating for a while, “Are you moving out?”

Rong Yi did not answer.

“...Have you found a place?” Chen Keyao asked again.

“Not yet.” Rong Yi replied.

“Oh.” Chen Keyao nodded.

Rong Yi thought that it might be because his subjective expectations were so strong that he could sense a clear sigh of relief from such a simple syllable.

When he was still struggling, Chen Keyao spoke again.

“Actually... It would be difficult to find a house more suitable than mine.”

Yes. Convenient transportation, affordable price, favorable living environment. Besides, there was also a person willing to pay for cooked meals, pick him up and drop him off on weekdays, and look after him occasionally when he fell ill. Moreover, in this house was living the person he liked.

Where else could he find such a good house?

“You don’t want me to move?” Rong Yi asked him.

“Because it won’t be easy to find a satisfying tenant, either.” Chen Keyao said. “You have good habits of living and cleaning and are good at cooking. You also often help me clean up the public area. Besides, if you leave, my dad will definitely move in without a moment’s delay. He is just the opposite of you.”

“...”

“If you don’t feel like cooking every day, we can call takeaways on weekdays.” Chen Keyao added, “We can cook our own meals only on weekends.”

“...”

“Or are you annoyed by me?” Chen Keyao said, “I could be very quiet. You see, I haven’t made a sound these few days.”

Rong Yi slightly frowned.

Again, this person started to say something that would make him start imagining.

Chen Keyao’s words always intrigued him to involuntarily have expectations, but in the end, his enthusiasm would only be quenched by the wet blanket thrown on it.

“Will you be bothered by what I have said?” Chen Keyao asked.

Rong Yi hesitated and didn’t know how to answer.

Chen Keyao arbitrarily interpreted his silence, and then immediately added. “Ah, you must not think too much. I meant nothing else. I really just want a tenant who is easy to get along”

“...”

“So,” Chen Keyao quickly looked back at him when waiting for the red light, “if you...”

“I didn’t think much,” Rong Yi suddenly interrupted him, and his volume was much larger than before. “Why do you think I will think much?”

Chen Keyao was shocked and did not dare to answer.

“Aren’t you feeling too good about yourself?” Rong Yi continued to speak aloud, “Do you really think that whenever I see an Alpha I will begin thinking about dating him or having a relationship with him? Even if it is, as for you, I…I…”

“I don’t...” Chen Keyao whispered, “I know you don’t like me.”

“You know nothing!” Rong Yi kicked his seat from the back.

.

After that, until the car drove into the community, the atmosphere between the two was in a complete mess.

Rong Yi repented terribly. He completely had no idea why he suddenly got so angry in the middle of the journey. What was worse, he didn’t choose his words and just spoke his mind. Chen Keyao did not seem to be doing anything wrong. He even came to pick him up and take him home when it was so late. Where else could he find such a nice landlord?

Undoubtedly, he was only shamed and pissed off because his thoughts were rightly guessed and then spoken out by Chen Keyao.

It was probably because he thought this person was so nice, even too nice that he lost his temper at will only for not getting him.

They got off the car in silence, walked into the corridor in tandem, took the elevator quietly and finally entered the house.

Rong Yi had been urging himself in his heart. Even if he did not apologize for losing his temper, he should say “thank you” to Chen Keyao. It was a pity that he couldn’t summon up the courage to speak the words even when arriving at his door.

“Well...” Chen Keyao, who had been silent all the way after Rong Yi lost his temper, suddenly spoke when he was about to close the door. “Actually, I asked you all those questions only because I wanted to tell you that the temperature in City C would fall in two days. Remember to bring warmer coats.”

Astonished, Rong Yi then nodded stupidly, “Oh.”

Seeing Chen Keyao turning and going back to his room, he finally summoned up his courage, “Thanks for picking me up.”

Chen Keyao looked back at him and smiled, “Never mind it.”

After closing the door, Rong Yi still felt a little embarrassed.

Somehow, the tensed atmosphere between them was gone all of a sudden. Just like before when their relationship was not so bad, they would quarrel for no good reason and then made it up unknowingly.

It might be because Chen Keyao was always out of the situation. Rong Yi got mad at him one-sidedly but always had no good means of dealing with him.

Many truths worked out in similar ways. If only he was in love, it couldn’t be called a relationship. And if only he got upset, it couldn’t be called a quarrel.

Rong Yi took off his coat, fell down on the bed and felt spiteful of himself.

It was actually quite difficult to carry out his self-help plan.

Chen Keyao was too uncooperative.

Turning over in bed again, he thought about whether to recheck his half-packed baggage and replace some clothes with warmer ones following Chen Keyao’s advice. Suddenly, he felt puzzled.

It was not right. It was strange enough that Chen Keyao guessed he was going on a long journey instead of moving out only by seeing him take out his suitcase. Was it possible that only by watching the monitor he could guess where he was going? Chen Keyao even went out of his way to check the weather. Obviously, it couldn’t be his speculations. He was sure about Rong Yi’s journey.

Why?

Author’s Note:

A few months later.

Chen Keyao: Listen to me. It is not what you think. I never thought about other things when I originally cut off this clip of the surveillance video. The doctor said I needed some desensitizing materials. It was only for therapeutic purpose. Do you understand? So my operation like that was very serious, very. I couldn’t go over and kiss you, could I?

Rong Yi: ......

Rong Yi’s inner soliloquy: Why not? Hah? Why not?!
