Chapter 81: It was not Valentine’s Day yet (1)

Translator: DragonRider

Chen Keyao recently had been feeling that Rong Yi was hiding something from him.

The man had become strange since they had scheduled to go back together to Rong Yi’s hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival. He was always distracted, absent-minded, and sometimes even sitting there alone with all sorts of facial expressions for no reason at all.

It was hard not to find this worrying.

Two days before the official departure, when packing up, Chen Keyao proposed that the two of them could just share one large suitcase. If there was anything extra, it could be put in the backpack. Anyway, they had been so intimate for so long, theoretically there shouldn’t be anything too personal to be mixed together.

But Rong Yi disagreed. He insisted on one suitcase each, with their own belongs in each of them respectively.

This made Chen Keyao feel like being cold-shouldered slightly.

In order to protest, he kept complaining when Rong Yi was busy moving about trying to sort out luggage, which eventually forced Rong Yi to haul him out of the room by the collar.

Looking at Rong Yi’s closed door, Chen Keyao was feeling angry, sad and helpless.

“Rong, listen carefully in there!” He shouted from outside, “You’re going to pay tonight for what you have done!”

The door in front of him snapped open.

Rong Yi leaned halfway out: “Don’t bullshit! Get packed. I’ll check it out later!”

It did not pass the check.

“You don’t even take towels or toothbrushes with you?” Rong Yi frowned furiously at his empty suitcase: “You’re going to take two pieces of underwear only, and you’re going to wear them in turns?”

Although they were returning to Rong Yi’s family home for the Spring Festival this time, Rong Yi’s room had long been a storage room as Rong Yi had not lived at home since university. In order not to bother the two elders and to stay more comfortably, they booked a hotel nearby in advance.

“Hotels have everything. Why do you have to bring everything yourself?” Chen Keyao couldn’t understand.

“The towels in hotels are not clean,” Rong Yi said. “Neither are their cups, so I’m taking some disposable plastic cups, and I’ll share with you if there are more than enough.”

Chen Keyao frowned: “Not really......You could buy these things there as well. It’s a lot of trouble.”

“You can’t use a new towel until you’ve completely cleaned it!” Rong Yi was very serious. “You’re really filthy.”

“Why don’t you even have a nightgown?” Rong Yi asked.

So Chen Keyao could only stand aside quietly, watching Rong Yi gradually fill up his empty suitcase.

“It’s not an escape from famine......” He couldn’t help muttering.

“Hey, so you remembered to bring this?” Rong Yi pulled out a small glass bottle from the corner of his suitcase and laughed.

That was a bottle of foundation.

The scar on Chen Keyao’s face was already so faint that it could only be seen when having a face-to-face conversation. However, Chen Keyao still had some concerns, so he bought such a bottle after many inquiries. He tried it a few times, just dipping his finger in a little bit and applying it to the scar.

In Rong Yi’s words: “It’s not a visible problem unless someone leans close to kiss you.”

Only one person in the world would find out this problem then.

“I’m just trying to impress my in-laws.” Chen Keyao said.

Rong Yi laughed and suddenly changed topic: “It was just tucked away in the corner like that. Have you ever thought about what to do if it was broken?”

“Alas,” Rong Yi sighed, “You’re such a worry.”

Chen Keyao overheard Rong Yi and his friends on the phone once by accident, and his tone was very subtle.

“I’m not thinking about having children for the time being. Um......There’s a point here, but, really......Now I’m already feeling very tired looking after this big one. I’m scared to even just think about having a little one. No. You think this guy can help? Hey......It’s not about what kind of person he is. I wouldn’t let him help him if he wanted to. It’s good enough as long as he doesn’t make more trouble.”

Chen Keyao felt very wronged.

Before he knew Rong Yi, he had grown up healthy and strong for so many years, but Rong Yi had described him as if he were an imbecile in life.

At least he had grown up till this day without ever burning down a kitchen in his lifetime, right?

They had never talked about having kids yet, but Chen Keyao’s view was in line with Rong Yi’s.

He knew a loving Beta couple, and the husband was constantly looking distressed after they got a child.

“I used to have 100% of her love, and now I have only 10% left at most, you know?” He complained to Chen Keyao, “She sleeps with her son every day, and the kid cries when he can’t see her. In her heart, her son is ranked No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, with the 4th and 5th positions vacant for now. Where am I? I don’t know!”

Chen Keyao imagined himself being in that position and felt it was really terrible.

By contrast, it was much better to be nagged by Rong Yi all day long like now.

After all, no matter how aggressive Rong Yi was during the day, at night he would always admit his mistakes.

He’d become really nice. Sweet and clingy. He’d say anything you wanted if you coaxed and pestered him long enough. So adorable.

This was why Chen Keyao did not want to stay with Rong Yi’s family during the Spring Festival.

If they had children in the future, it would be inconvenient for God knows how long. Chen Keyao didn’t think he could stand such a grievance for now.

They bought air tickets for Spring Festival’s Eve.

The two of them landed around noon and were just about to go to the hotel to check in their luggage when Rong Yi’s mother called.

She told the couple that there were a lot of family members at home, and they’d better be prepared.

Chen Keyao was nervous.

After all, he had been inspected by his parents once, and he could be considered a seasoned man.

But judging from the mother-in-law’s tone on the phone, it seemed he was going to be dealing with a big family.

He felt a little stressed and even considered taking a stomach-ache tablet in advance.

And then he found out that Rong Yi was more nervous than he was.

This guy, who had been dragging his suitcase side by side with him, suddenly moved half a step in his direction, then clung onto his arm.

“Remember to say a lot of good things about me later on.” Rong Yi, red-faced, whispered in his ear.

Chen Keyao froze for a moment and then nodded.

“Especially when you see that fat curly-haired woman, you should say......say......” Rong Yi frowned as if he was trying to get the right words out but couldn’t.

“It’s okay. You give me the general direction,” Chen Keyao said. “I’ll try to make it work.”

Rong Yi gave him a quick glance: “...Don’t exaggerate too much either please.”

Chen Keyao didn’t think he was exaggerating.

After they arrived, he quickly figured out what was going on. The woman Rong Yi referred to was his aunt, and she had an Omega son who looked very different from Rong Yi. Younger than Rong Yi, the child was handsome, softly spoken, and clearly very frail.

Simply put, he was completely in an aesthetic blind spot for Chen Keyao.

But it also meant that he fit most people’s Omega stereotyping. Through conversations, Chen Keyao could easily sense that this aunt felt a bit superior to Rong Yi.

“It’s not easy, Xiao Chen, that you didn’t mistake him for an Alpha,” she said to Chen Keyao when they were sitting around the sofa, eating sunflower seeds and chatting with each other.

Chen Keyao immediately cleared his voice.

“Why! He is so cute, why can’t anyone recognize that? But even if he was really an Alpha, I wouldn’t mind it. He’s such a superb person. It doesn’t matter what gender he is.”

Having said that, he thought he had done very well, so he immediately looked at Rong Yi with a smile and tried to get a reward.

But he found Rong Yi covering his forehead.

He rolled his eyes at Chen Keyao, which was only visible from Chen Keyao’s angle.

Chen Keyao pulled his hand over to himself in front of the crowd, clasped his fingers with his and smiled at everyone.

The aunt looked suspicious and then remembered something: “Have you heard of it? There’s the kind of business that people rent a date online to go home for the Spring Festival, and I don’t know if it’s true.”

“Oh.” Rong Yi asked her, “How much would it cost to rent a Spring Festival date like my husband?”

Chen Keyao laughed a little. “I’m not for rent. I’m going home with you alone.”

Seeing the woman still having a strange face, he simply leaned over and planted a kiss on Rong Yi’s cheek.

The hotel they booked was near Rong Yi’s home.

Rong Yi wasn’t very happy on their way back to the hotel, hand in hand.

“She obviously didn’t believe it,” he said in frustration.” She must have thought I couldn’t find such a perfect partner.”

Chen Keyao was very happy. “Such a perfect partner?”

Rong Yi shot him a glance, blushing suddenly. “At first glance, deceptively perfect partner.”

“...”Chen Keyao looked at him quietly.

Rong Yi hesitated for a few seconds, before leaning into his ear and whispering: “She is very jealous.”

Seeing that Chen Keyao was still silent, he added with a smaller voice: “Her eyes turned red, because I have such a good partner.”

Chen Keyao cuddled his shoulder and kissed him on the cheek.

“When it’s time to send a wedding invitation, she’ll have to believe it.” He told Rong Yi with a smile.
