Rong Yi turned his head and looked at the glass curtain wall of the shop next to him, then after he double-checked that his hair and clothes were perfect in his reflection, he took a deep breath.
Don’t be nervous, keep your calm.
He silently chanted to himself in his heart, yet it had the opposite effect of increasing his already restless heart rate instead.

In order to ease his tension, he subconsciously placed both his hands in front of him and rubbed them together. But he quickly realised that this kind of action looked a bit old-fashioned. If the other person suddenly showed up and saw this, he might silently deduct points.
Rong Yi hurriedly put his hands down.
Then he took out his handphone again to check the time. There was still 14 minutes before his appointment.
The phrase “every second felt like a year” probably refers to situations like this ba. He turned one round on the spot, then heard an unfamiliar but gentle voice call out from his back.
“Hello, excuse me……”
Rong Yi turned around.
The one who had spoken to him was a young man whom he had never seen before.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
“I want to take the bus, but I forgot to bring my bus card……” the young man looked a bit embarrassed, “Can I borrow some change from you? I can use WeChat to transfer the money back to you immediately.”
The young man looked up. His face was a bit flushed, and he looked a bit embarrassed and nervous.
“Sorry,” Rong Yi smiled awkwardly, “I don’t have any cash on me either.”
“O…..is that so,” the young man was stunned, but he didn’t leave. His eyes twinkled, then he asked again, “Are you waiting for someone?”
“Un.”
His reply was extremely dry, but the other party wasn’t discouraged at all.
“……your lover?”
If only he was.
Rong Yi sighed inwardly, then asked, “May I ask what other business you have with me?”
That young man looked a bit helpless. He slightly furrowed his brows and pursed his lips, then looked at him and said in a quiet voice, “Actually, I just want your contact information.”
Rong Yi wasn’t surprised with this answer at all.
He looked down at this 18 or 19-year-old boy. He had a gentle profile, slightly curly short hair, a slim figure and huge almond eyes. One look and you could tell he was an Omega, and most people would categorise him as “cute”.
He was the perfect type that Rong Yi had always yearned to be.
“……I’m sorry,” he helplessly shook his head and rejected the other party’s request, “It’s not convenient.”

“O…….I see,” the other party looked dejected and embarrassed. After he reluctantly managed a smile, he immediately turned around, “I’m sorry for bothering you.”
As he looked at the other party’s small figure run away quickly, Rong Yi couldn’t help but feel bad.
Just as he was considering whether or not to move to a less conspicuous spot to continue waiting, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.
Rong Yi subconsciously turned his head, and after he saw the other party’s face clearly, his previously nervous demeanour that had subsided immediately resurfaced.
“You you you……you’re here!” his voice became unintentionally louder than usual.
“Was that your friend?” the other party leaned against him naturally, then jerked his chin at the direction in which the young man had left, “He’s so cute, can you introduce him to me?”

“If you really want to thank me, then when that kid asked you for directions you should have asked for his contact information for me,” Liu Yuan still couldn’t forget about the young man, “If I knew that you didn’t know him I would’ve went ahead and chased him first. I like his type the most.”
“……”

Rong Yi didn’t say anything in reply.
“Er, I was just kidding,” Liu Yuan saw that he didn’t look too happy, then hurriedly changed the topic, “But really, for you to treat me just because of that small favour, I feel kinda bad about it.”
.
If we must talk about it, then it really was a small favour.
Rong Yi can be a bit careless sometimes, when he had gone to party A’s company a while back, he had dropped a USB there. When he exited the lift and walked towards the building entrance oblivious to his negligence, he was stopped by a panting Liu Yuan who had ran all the way down the stairs to catch up to him.
Actually, that bit of data was available in his company’s computers, and it wasn’t anything confidential, if he had dropped it then so be it.
The important thing was, he originally had some good feelings towards this particularly enthusiastic Alpha who was also kinda handsome.
In the moment when Liu Yuan held the USB’s lanyard and swayed it in front of him and asked him “look at what this is”, the entire world around him was suddenly tinged with the colour of pink, and there was even a party of cupids who began to sing.
He’s so handsome, he’s so kind, I really want to date him.
Rong Yi fell head over heels. When he returned to his company, he immediately sent an email to express his thanks to Liu Yuan again, then asked for his private contact information.
As time passed, the two could be considered to be familiar with one another outside of work.
.
“You can treat it as…me trying to make a new friend.” Rong Yi’s hands under the table had clenched into fists, he tried his best to take deep breaths to control his heartbeat.
“Ei? Aren’t we friends already?” Liu Yuan was still his casual self, “Ai, why are you so serious today? Now I’m all nervous too.”

“Then, can you answer one question for me?” Rong Yi tried to sound him out.
“You can say it and we’ll see?”
Rong Yi carefully looked into his eyes, “You…do you only like that type of Omega?”
“What type?” Liu Yuan took awhile to recall, “O you’re talking about the one just now……I was just kidding. I’ve actually never dated that type before.”
Rong Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
“What’s going on why would you suddenly ask this, you want to introduce someone to me?” Liu Yuan got excited, “I welcome that! The type doesn’t matter, I just like those who look good.”
Rong Yi’s heart stirred, then the words escaped his mouth, “Do you think I look good?”
Please visit chrysanthemumgarden.com
Liu Yuan was stunned.
The two stared at each other for awhile, then soon after Rong Yi’s face turned bright red.
“You do,” Liu Yuan gulped, and at the same time he unconsciously leaned backwards, “But……you’re joking right?”
Rong Yi immediately stiffened, he didn’t know if he should continue hiding his feelings.
“Even though I get mistaken as a Beta from time to time……” Liu Yuan stretched his hand out and scratched his head and looked a bit helpless, “But I’m actually an Alpha.”
Rong Yi was embarrassed, “I know that, but……”
“You’re gay?” Liu Yuan’s eyes instantly widened.

“I…….” Rong Yi started feeling a bit dispirited, “Have you never seen my WeChat profile?”
Liu Yuan blinked and didn’t say a word.
Looking at him now, he most likely never looked through his profile carefully. Afterall, most people wouldn’t be like Rong Yi and label their second gender, so not many would specially search for that kind of information on people’s profiles.
“I’m not an Alpha.” Rong Yi said.
“Ah……” Liu Yuan was a bit surprised, “Few Betas would be like you…….”
“I’m not a Beta either.” Rong Yi silently looked away.
Liu Yuan was even more surprised, “Don’t tell me you haven’t been differentiated yet?”
Rong Yi felt like crying, “Am I so unlike an Omega?”
.
Liu Yuan apologised like crazy, then euphemistically expressed his rejection.
Actually this kind of result wasn’t a surprise to Rong Yi. In the past 26 years of his life, he had been pursued by countless people, and he had taken the initiative to pursue countless people, but till today he still had not left the singles group. His evergreen status was unshakeable.
There was no other reason except that the ones who pursued him and the people he pursued had never coincided, in fact they were the complete opposite.
Actually, he did look quite delicate and pretty during his childhood years, so when he was categorised as an Omega after his puberty began it was within everyone’s expectations.
What was unexpected though, was his crazy growth spurt and inexplicable sharp and distinct facial features after his categorization. When he finally became the most outstanding figure in his class, his parents brought him to the hospital again. The test results were as per normal, he was biologically an Omega.
Read more BL at chrysanthemumgarden.com
Rong Yi thought that he wasn’t just biologically an Omega, he was one at heart too.
Ever since he was young, he had but one dream, and that was to find a tall and handsome Alpha to start a family together, give birth to cute babies and become a gentle and good wife. For the sake of his dream, he had even seriously learnt how to cook, and now he even had the skills to whip up absolutely delicious and fragrant meals.
However, it’s a pity that up until the time when he had completely grown into a tall and handsome Omega, he never had the opportunity to flaunt this skill in front of people other than his parents.
There were a few Omegas that had pursued him who were still infatuated with him even after they discovered his actual gender, but all the Alphas who had been pursued by him retreated after they knew his gender.
But he still couldn’t control himself from recklessly falling in love at anytime and anywhere, then easily confess afterwards.
Maybe it’s because deep in his heart, he felt that time spent on seriously pursuing his crushes would just be wasted anyway, so it would be better to be rejected earlier on so that he can give up on them completely.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
This meal was incomparably awkward.
When the bill came, Liu Yuan fought hard to pay for the meal, then after he did so he solemnly expressed his thanks and apologies before he left at the speed of light.
The brokenhearted Rong Yi was left behind with a heart full of melancholy.
He walked out of the restaurant and stood by the crowded road as he quietly fell into a daze.
Not too far away there was a couple who were in the middle of a passionate kiss. Even though it wasn’t very polite, Rong Yi still couldn’t help himself from shooting them a few glances.
He was a bit envious.
He was about to enter the “old singles” category, but up till today, don’t even mention kissing, he hasn’t even held an Alpha’s hand before.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
In the current age there were so many delicate and cute Omegas crying out about how they want to be independent and free as they rebel against labels and their families’ restraints; the Rong Yi who could only wish for their troubles couldn’t help but feel sour.
Watching the intimate and flirty scene made the single dog him feel unparalleled sorrow.
Rong Yi sighed, then silently shifted his gaze away. Not too far away from that couple stood a person who was currently on the phone. Rong Yi subconsciously took a second look, then habitually sighed again in his heart.
This person looks like he’s taller than me ba, and he looks so handsome too, if I can be with this kind of Alpha how great would that be.
As he slowly walked towards the intersection, he had already planned that if he were to get together with that Alpha, which area they should buy their house in after their marriage.
Just as he was agonizing over whether they needed a study room, a person suddenly rushed towards him and forcefully knocked into him then ran away without looking back.
It wasn’t easy for him to re-stabilise himself when he saw a girl around ten years old running from the same direction as that person. She was crying and shouting, “Thief! Thief!”
Rong Yi hurriedly turned around, then when he clearly saw the figure that was gradually pulling apart the distance between them, he immediately gave chase.
.
When he was still schooling, he had joined the track and field team. He was the all-time reigning champion in sprinting within the Omega group, and there were many times when he was reported by his schoolmates for lying about his gender.
Even though he rarely trained after graduation, his base was still there. Once he got serious and went all out, the distance between him and the thief continuously shortened at a speed with which the ***** eye could see.
He was just about to catch up. Rong Yi stretched his hand out and wanted to grab the thief’s arm, but he never expected that the other party would be so anxious as to turn around and immediately throw out a fist.
Due to inertia, Rong Yi couldn’t retreat backwards immediately, so he could only move to a side to dodge it, but soon after he began to worry.
He may have caught up, but it didn’t mean he could win the thief in a fight. Even though both parties looked to be about the same build, but he was still an Omega afterall, there would definitely be a difference in terms of physical strength.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
Just as he was hesitating, the thief had staggered a few steps before he stabilised himself, then immediately threw another fist at his face.
The Rong Yi who had never received any kind of combat training reactively closed his eyes and raised his hands to block the hit, but after he felt the air in front of him stir from the speed of the fist flying at him, the heavy hit he expected never came. He opened his eyes, and realised that that fist had stopped just an inch away from his nose.
The reason it didn’t land on him wasn’t because the thief had suddenly found his conscience, but because it had been stopped by someone else in the nick of time.
Another person appeared next to Rong Yi with his back facing him. He stretched his hand out and grabbed the thief’s wrist.
“You…….”
Rong Yi hadn’t finished speaking when he saw that man forcefully pulled the thief’s wrist backwards which made the thief fall forward. After that person agilely avoided the thief, he abruptly lifted his knee and kneed the thief’s stomach.
A few seconds later, that thief had already been subdued and was lying motionlessly on the ground.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
And at this moment, Rong Yi was still standing in the same spot in a daze.
The kind person who had suddenly extended a helping hand locked the thief’s hands behind his back, then subdued him on the floor with one knee before he turned his head around.
“Are you okay?” he looked at Rong Yi with a face full of concern.
Rong Yi saw his face and was immediately stunned.
O, it’s this guy.
Rong Yi had just been thinking about what kind of names he should give their children, and which school they should send their children to when they grow older.
What was the best method of getting over a broken heart?
Please visit chrysanthemumgarden.com
Rong Yi suddenly felt like the entire world around him had been tinged with the colour of pink, and a party of cupids began to sing.
Oh God, he’s so handsome, he’s so kind. I really want to date him.
As it happened in downtown area, it only took the police a few minutes to get there, which made Rong Yi quite depressed.
He hadn’t even had a chance to ask the name and age of this godlike handsome guy, and more importantly, if he was single.
Luckily, the guy agreed to the two policemen’s request of going to the police station to take notes without hesitation. Then Rong Yi expressed that it was his duty to go as well.
The thief really had chosen a wrong place to commit a crime. Because the nearest police station was only a block away and they could simply get to the station on foot. As Rong Yi was following that handsome guy, he compared himself with his secret crush right now and found out surprisingly that this guy was even a bit taller than him and almost reached 190cm. Moreover, his broad shoulders looked reliable but not too thick, which made Rong Yi’s heart beat fast.
This tall, extremely good-looking and warmhearted man had acted so swiftly and fiercely when catching the thief and so gentle with that charming smile when asking if he was alright.
If only the place they were heading to now was the civil affairs bureau, Rong Yi would sign his name on the marriage contract with this man instantly.
.
After they arrived at the police station, Rong Yi pulled out his identity card eagerly. And as he was handing over his ID to the policeman, he passed it right in front of that handsome guy on purpose, with the side stating his second gender facing up. He had learned so many lessons from that. So he had to let the man he was attracted to know about his second gender first.
However, the policeman declined his proposal on the half way.
“It’s not necessary. You only need to fill out the paper. Please put away your identity card.”
Rong Yi, feeling helpless, withdrew his hand slowly. Fortunately, the man who was in front of him was staring at the little card right now.
“You have a special name.” After moving his eyesight from the card to Rong Yi’s face, the man said that and smiled to Rong Yi, “I could seldom see someone looking so nice on the identity card.”
Hearing his words, Rong Yi also smiled without saying anything.
He was not trying to play cool. It was just he felt too nervous right now. Though he wasn’t an introverted person in the ordinary times, he tended to get stiff in front of the person he had a crush on.
Luckily, the man didn’t mind Rong Yi’s indifferent response. He even passed a sheet to Rong Yi after he had received the form.
The question on the form was quite easy. After filling out the form quickly, Rong Yi peeked at the man next to him. However, he was discovered before he could see clearly what the man was writing.
After that, the man took the initiative to move his sheet toward Rong Yi.
“My last name is Chen.” He said, “Chen Keyao… What a coincidence, we seem to be in the same age.”
Even his handwriting was so beautiful. Rong Yi felt that he just desired this man even more while the only thing he could do was smiling stiffly.
Actually, Rong Yi really wished they could talk more. However, seeing him remaining silent all the time, Chen Keyao also stopped talking.
The case was simple and the suspect had already been arrested. So it didn’t take them too much time to take the notes. As they were about to leave, Rong Yi still hadn’t got the contact information of Chen Keyao. That made his heart burning with anxiety.
If he didn’t grab the chance right now, it would be so hard for him to meet this man again.
As Rong Yi was on the fence, Chen Keyao who had already walked to the door suddenly paused. Then Rong Yi followed his gaze and saw the little girl whose wallet had been robbed.
She was sitting on the long bench in the corner with her legs wiggling. It seemed that she was at a loss with the regained wallet in her hands. There were only two policemen in the hall who were busy with their own business and might have forgotten about her.
“Little girl, where are your families?” Chen Keyao, having walked up to her, squatted down and asked, “Don’t you want to go back home?”
The little girl who looked a bit shy answered, “I… I don’t know the way back.”
She was lost.
She had planned to take the bus to get home after being dismissed from her tutorial class. However, when she had arrived at the bus station and tried to reach to her wallet, she found there was another hand in her pocket.
As a timid girl, she hadn’t dared to say anything at that moment and helplessly watched that man turning around to leave. After that, she had followed him blankly. Only after she had followed him across two roads had she realized that she had to do something. Then she had nerved herself to shout while running after the guy.
Now her wallet was back. But she didn’t remember the way back to the bus station. She wanted to ask the policemen. However, they all seemed very busy and she just couldn’t muster up the courage. Luckily, finally there was someone finding that she was in anxiety right now.
After hearing her story, Chen Keyao asked, “Where do you live?”
The little girl was too timid to tell him that. However, after being in hesitation for a while, she recognized that the man in front of her was the one who had helped catch the bad buy for her. So she took out a card from her wallet and handed it over to Chen Keyao.
“Uncle, can you take me to the bus station?” she asked.
“No,” Chen Keyao shook his head while looking at the address on the card, “But if you call me brother, I give you a ride home.”
The little girl was in a daze for a moment, as well as Rong Yi who was standing not far away from them.
“It’s too late. Your parents will be so worried if you take the bus right now.” He stood up while saying this. Then he reached out a hand to the little girl, saying, “Let’s go. Say goodbye to the officers.”
It was not safe for her to leave with a stranger.
However, Chen Keyao really didn’t look like a bad guy. After staring at his face for a while, the little girl put her hand in his palm carefully and jumped off the bench.
Chen Keyao held her hands and turned around to look at Rong Yi who was still standing still in a trance.
“I have parked my car in the underground parking lot at that mall over there.” Chen Keyao said.
With his eyes blinked, Rong Yi still didn’t utter a single word.
“… Sorry for having caught sight of your address just now.” Chen Keyao seemed to be a bit embarrassed, but he still continued, “I believe we are heading to the same direction. Do you need a ride?”
After swallowing his saliva fiercely to ease the nervousness, Rong Yi said, “That would be so nice of you.”
.
Rong Yi felt that he was sitting on the cloud instead of the back seat of the car right now.
After the little girl had got acquainted with Chen Keyao, she got lively in no time. She and Chen Keyao chatted with great excitement. And thanks to her, Rong Yi managed to gather some information about Chen Keyao.
There was a martial art school for children on the fourth floor of the building which was opposite to the crime scene. And Chen Keyao taught self-defense lesson to children there. He also gave the little girl whose name was Luoluo a name card, saying that she could apply for his class if she was interested. He also claimed that he only taught real stuff in his class with a reasonable price, that she could rely on him.
While Luoluo put away the card with caution, Chen Keyao who had just ‘abducted’ this little girl suddenly began to criticize her of following a stranger so randomly. He told her that bad guys wouldn’t show their evil intentions on their face.
Luoluo shook her head while saying, “Brother, you are the good guy who caught the bad guy! It was thanks to you that we can catch that thief!”
“You should thank the brother who is sitting behind.” Chen Keyao looked at the rearview mirror and continued, “If it were not for him who had stopped the thief, I wouldn’t be able to catch that guy.”
Being talked about by them suddenly, Rong Yi got frozen again.
Since he never talked too much, Luoluo still felt unfamiliar to him. So she turned her head and said to Rong Yi with her former timorous look, “Thank you, brother.”
Rong Yi smiled at her while saying, “You are welcome.”
.
As a matter of fact, Rong Yi’s house was closer to the police station than where Luoluo lived. However, Chen Keyao had gone the wrong way and taken a detour. Thus Luoluo arrived at home at first.
When there were only the two of them left in the car, Rong Yi fell into a super nervous state again.
How could he get Chen Keyao’s number in a natural way? He sat on his seats with his brain working fast. And suddenly, he came up with an idea.
“Mr. Chen, can you give me one of your cards?” He said that on his own, “A child of one of my relatives happens to be interested in martial arts.”
“Of course.”
When Chen Keyao was about to take out his name card, he paused all of a sudden. As traffic light turned red, he turned around to look at Rong Yi, saying, “Why don’t you add me on Wechat? You can consult me anything then.”
He looked right into Rong Yi’s eyes with a smile on his face as he was talking, which made him look sincere and attractive. And Rong Yi was fascinated head over heals right away.
Then Rong Yi pulled out his phone while thinking excitedly that Chen Keyao would be a perfect daddy since he was so gentle. It was easy to name their child with the last name Chen. So what should they name their children? If it was possible, he preferred to have a son first then a daughter. Then the brother, their dear son, would protect his little sister. Also, before their children were born, he wanted to wear a white suit on his wedding.
Five minutes after he had added Chen Keyao on WeChat, they arrived at the door of Rong Yi’s apartment.
When Rong Yi got off car, Chen Keyao rolled down the car window and waved his hand, saying, “Contact me anytime if you have any needs.”
Rong Yi nodded.
Since he was so eager to remain a devoted couple with Chen Keyao to the end of their lives, Rong Yi decided to contact Chen Keyao as soon as he arrived home.
.
However, before making any contacts, he took some time browsing on Chen Keyao’s Moments.
Since Chen Keyao had made only his latest posts public, so there weren’t many things for Rong Yi to read. Nonetheless, it still took him a long time, because Chen Keyao had attached his photos in two of his posts.
The first one was Chen Keyao’s side face, of which eighty percent was his hair with a signature stating, “Well, it looks like my hairstylist understands nothing about cutting just a little bit.”
Rong Yi wanted to comment on that picture. However, after thinking for a long while, he still didn’t manage to find a sentence to comfort Chen Keyao and told him that he looked totally handsome with that haircut at the same time while showing his sense of humor. At last, Rong Yi only saved the photo silently and liked the photo.
The other one was more provocative. It had been taken by Chen Keyao in front of the mirror of the gym.
With his phone in his hands, Rong Yi stared at the six abs in the picture, feeling himself burning quietly but severely.
He couldn’t find a more ideal type. Chen Keyao was like the man who had walked out of Rong Yi’s dream.
Furthermore, since Chen Keyao had seen Rong Yi’s address, he must have also noticed his gender on the ID card. And Chen Keyao hadn’t expressed a single sign of surprise after seeing that. He had even offered a ride to Rong Yi and exchanged contact information on his own.
An Alpha drove an Omega home on his own initiative and emphasized that they should keep in touch whey they separated.
What did it mean?
‘Should I take out the calendar and start to pick up a perfect date for our wedding?’
After rolling on his bed with his phone in hands, Rong Yi sat up and tried to restore his calmness by taking deep breath. Then he opened the dialog box between him and Chen Keyao with his trembling hand.
“Thanks for driving me home.”
Delete.
“Thanks so much for today.”
Delete.
“I want to be with you.”
Delete.
While he was in a dilemma, his phone vibrated all of a sudden.
A message was sent to him. But it was not from his secret crush.
“Sorry for today. I am a dull person who likes to talk nonsense. Please don’t mind that. I wish we could still get along with each like before if it’s possible.”
It was sent by Liu Yuan.
After being lost in a fog for a long while, Rong Yi finally understood what Liu Yuan was trying to say.
This Alpha who had ranked the first on Rong Yi’s ideal marriage partner list this morning was only a past tense for him right now.
Then Rong Yi entered those words straight away,
“Don’t worry, I’ve already forgotten that!”
‘Liu Yuan, who do you think you are? You are no match to my future husband Chen Keyao!’ Rong Yi thought that.
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.
