Chapter 59: I hardly know anything about you.

Translator: DragonRider

Chen Keyao hesitated for a moment: “Why do you suddenly want to ask this?”

“… Nothing in particular.” Rong Yi said.

He had told a whole load of lies to that online friend named “seven melons on a vine”. If that person was really Chen Keyao, it would be too embarrassing to expose himself now.

But neither could he figure out a way to beat around the bush at the moment. Rong Yi actually wanted to ask Chen Keyao, “Do you think I’m particularly cute?” but it was really hard to say it out loud.

In the end, he decided to change his approach: he would wait till later to send a private message to his enthusiastic online friend and ask if his confession had been successful.

If that also matched, then there was no doubt this online friend was exactly this person in front of him.

“I didn’t tell you before because I felt a little embarrassed,” said Chen Keyao, scratching his head and totally unaware of what was on Rong Yi’s mind. “When Liu Yuan and his friends found out about my pseudonym, they had all burst into laughs, and some of the writer friends even took the liberty to make up a beautiful female persona for me, which made me feel too embarrassed to meet people later. I was afraid you’d laugh at me too if I told you.”

“Not at all,” Rong Yi shook his head. “I think you’re awesome!”

“…”

“It’s true,” said Rong Yi, “I had read the first book of ” Seeking the dragon ” so many times when I was in college.”

“Oh.” Chen Keyao turned his head away silently, showing half a blushing face.

The shyer he became, the more excitedly Rong Yi talked: “When the film came out later, I watched at least 20 times. It was almost…”

Halfway through the sentence, he suddenly realized something was wrong so he shut up immediately.

The originally sweet atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.

“Did you fall in love with that guy because of that?” asked Chen Keyao.

“…”

Chen Keyao took a deep breath: “In fact, don’t you think that role was not really suitable for him.”

To be honest, there was indeed quite a difference in temperament between the character and Mo Yufei, but because of his good looks, Rong Yi was still totally infatuated at the time. Now it was a bit hard for him to admit this. Rong Yi cleared his throat and asked, “Why did you still recommend him then?”

“At that time, we had just got together and our relationship was in its best state, so I thought I would help him whenever I could.” Chen Keyao said.

“… And then you wrote another one especially for him.” Rong Yi said.

Chen Keyao looked at him, hesitating to say anything.

“It’s all in the past, and I’m not such a mean person,” Rong Yi murmured in a low voice, but then suddenly raised his volume, “But whatever I ask you now, you must answer honestly.”

Chen Keyao gave a somewhat helpless look: “As long as you don’t get upset at whatever you hear.”

“Why on earth did he call you brother?” Rong Yi asked. “Has it anything to do with your father?”

Chen Keyao nodded: “Do you remember I told you that my father once had a crush on his high school head teacher? Mo Yufei is her child.”

“Did they get together eventually?” Rong Yi asked.

“No,” Chen Keyao said, shaking his head. “She died of an accident when she was very young. My father had been worried since he heard about it, so he often visited him. His high school was very close to my home. My father always invited him to come to my home for dinner, so we became very familiar with each other. This might have been the last straw that finally crushed Sister Lan.”

Rong Yi looked down and thought for a moment, “So you have known each other for many years. No wonder he knows you so well.”

“I was stupid at that time. I told him everything because I liked him.”

Rong Yi raised his head and said, “… Unlike me, I hardly know anything about you.”

Chen Keyao was stunned for a moment, and then continued, “But I’m learning to be smart now, so I’ll explain everything you want to know honestly.”

“…”

It seemed that he had indeed become a little smarter now that he was able to say such pleasant words so promptly.

“Then, because you couldn’t stand each other’s pheromones, and he was not satisfied in ‘that’ way, he went out to date others and you found out?”

“… In fact, it was me only who couldn’t cope with the pheromones, “Chen Keyao looked down.” his innate ability to sense pheromones is no different from any beta, although he is an Alpha. So he didn’t know how to control his pheromone either.

“Wasn’t that even worse for you?”

“So from his perspective, it was he who had been totally accommodating me.”

“…” Rong Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn’t help but say, “I heard that there is an operation to remove alpha glands.”

Chen Keyao smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Do you think he went out to find someone else because he was not satisfied with me?”

“Wasn’t that the reason?”

“It’s a normal way of thinking,” Chen Keyao said, “but he’s a psychopath.”

“Ah?”

“He didn’t seem to mind my reactions at all. He couldn’t even understand why I was upset when he slept with someone else.” Chen Keyao said, “So he always felt that he had sacrificed a lot for me and that he was willing to put up with me, but I was not willing to accept him as he is.”

“…”

“Don’t want to talk about it any more,” said Chen Keyao, frowning. “It’s infuriating even to just think of it.”

In fact, after the close contact with Mo Yufei yesterday, Rong Yi had realized that Mo Yufei’s logic was very strange. He complained that Chen Keyao abandoned him. At first, Rong Yi thought he was probably joking, but now it seemed that he truly believed that. Even when Rong Yi was just a fan from a distance, he already knew that this person was a bit eccentric, which was also widely talked about among his fans. His bizarre logic was considered extremely cute by his fans. But after actual contact with the real person, Rong Yi found that Mo Yufei’s logic often left him speechless.

Maybe he truly didn’t consider it a big deal to have sex with someone other than his lover. At least, he applied the same criteria to both himself and his lover. Therefore, when faced with Rong Yi, who was supposed to be his love rival, he didn’t show any hostility either.

Rong Yi couldn’t say whether this concept was wrong or not, but in any case, he and Chen Keyao were definitely not suitable for each other.

So, what kind of person is Chen Keyao suitable for?

Rong Yi lowered his head and scratched his chin with his fingers. Surely, it must be himself who also believed loyal and undivided love for the other half.

“What are you happy about?” Asked Chen Keyao, frowning.

He was in a heavy mood just because of the recollection of the past. Rong Yi should be feeling empathetic with him and comforting him right now, but instead he was sniggering with a lowered head. That was really outrageous.

Rong Yi was too embarrassed to tell him the truth.

He was having very complicated feelings about Mo Yufei now. He couldn’t be his fan any more, but he certainly did not want to diss him either. Although, this man brought Chen Keyao painful memories, but thanks to his brainlessness, Rong Yi had the chance to pick up this treasure of Chen Keyao.

Moreover, if he hadn’t made a scene yesterday, Rong Yi would not have kissed Chen Keyao in panic.

It was that kiss that gave him the confidence.

Through his lips, Chen Keyao passed not only the warmth, passion and the pheromone, but also many words that he could not speak.

All those were the proof that he could be brave again today.

So from a certain point of view, maybe he should really thank Mo Yufei. It was his unintentional act that finally made him and Chen koyao understand each other’s intentions.

But anyhow, it was a bit embarrassing to say these words, so after a short moment, Rong Yi decided to change the topic again.

“Then… it has nothing to do with that you have such aversion to omegas, right?”

“It’s not an aversion,” Chen Keyao denied quickly. “I said that I do not vomit because of you. You shouldn’t misunderstand that.”

It was just a casual way of wording, but Chen Keyao was so serious that Rong Yi felt a little amused.

So he had to change his question: “then what on earth is this illness of yours?”

“It’s quite simple. You know about my parents,” Chen Keyao said, “So from a young age I had always wanted to be a beta who would not be controlled by their gender instinct and could be with their loved ones freely.”

“… Well, you are still free to be with people you like.” Rong Yi said in a low voice.

Chen Keyao looked at him and smiled: “To put it simply, there is actually some other factors too.”

Rong Yi looked at him to prompt him to continue.

“In fact, I had a rather late differentiation. Did you have a physical examination test when you were in middle school? They let you smell the pheromone samples and predict the second sex ahead of time.”

Rong Yi nodded, “Yes.”

The concentration of the pheromones used in the test was very low and would not cause any physiological reaction. But for the young people who were about to differentiate, they could roughly judge the future second gender according to their preferences. The accuracy was more than 90%.

Rong Yi was just chubby little cutie with fair skin at that time, and unsurprisingly he got the test result that predicted that he would become an Omega.

””I couldn’t smell anything at that time, and the test result showed beta,” Chen Keyao said. “I was very happy at that time.”

“…”

“In fact, I didn’t really feel it until I was finally differentiated into an alpha. Because I could hardly smell Omega’s pheromone in real life, I once thought I would get such a test result because I would not respond to anyone’s pheromone. ”

“Then… please allow me to digress, “Rong Yi said carefully,” so, do you envy Mo Yufei?”

Chen Keyao was surprised. Then he smiled and lowered his head: “yes. At that time, I thought he was my ideal.”

Rong Yi nodded and didn’t speak.

Chen Keyao suddenly glanced at him, and grabbed his hand: “Ideals change with time.”

He looked at Rong Yi’s eyes with great nervousness.

Rong Yi didn’t respond.

A few seconds later, he suddenly remembered something.

His mutually encouraging online friend described his favourite Omega, besides being “cute”, as “bad tempered”, “moody”, “easily upset”.

Looking at Chen Keyao, who had a mysteriously strong sense of crisis, Rong Yi felt that some of his guesses had been further verified.

However, although he was not upset originally, he suddenly became a bit annoyed now that he had realized this.

But if he really made a fuss, he would indeed seem very irritable.

Rong Yi took a deep breath, then smiled, “It’s OK, you go on.”

Seeing this, Chen Keyao sighed with relief and smiled back at him. He continued: “at that time, I was not interested in Omegas, and in my heart, I took it for granted that I was a beta, so with regard to some things… Maybe I really had given too little thoughts and didn’t know how to avoid suspicions. ”

“… caused someone to have wrong ideas?”

“That’s right,” said Chen Keyao. “There was a student at that time with whom I got along really well. In fact, I just regarded him as a good friend, and I didn’t think much about him at all, so we became a little too close.”

“… How close?”

“Don’t get me wrong,” Chen Keyao said quickly. “Just like ordinary brothers. We just play together quite often.”

“How often?”

Chen Keyao hesitated for a moment: “Well… we went to school and leave school together every day…”

“Was he an Omega?”

“Well,” Chen Keyao nodded, “later… He misunderstood.”

Rong Yi rolled his eyes in his heart.

If that Omega had had just one tenth of his ability, they would have already been planning a wedding after graduation.

The author’s notes:

About the question “why Teacher Chen has not been cured after such a long time”: you may not believe it, but it’s only been three and a half days since chapter 46. Teacher Chen had done his best. As for why they were going on about such insignificant things for so long today and they will keep doing that in the next chapter as well, that’s because they are in love now. I decided to change the book title for half a day to celebrate.
