Rong Yi had just managed to return to a slightly more natural state just now, but now he was a bundle of nerves again.
He was frozen still, staring at Mo Yufei, who was looking at himself with a smile, and was hardly able to breathe.
Mo Yufei soon took back his hand, but the touching sensation left on Rong Yi’s chin remained for a long time. He felt suddenly confused, totally unable to figure out the specific meaning of the other party’s action.
That was an action with an obvious hint of ambiguity. But in today’s context, between him and Mo Yufei, he dare not think in that direction.
Rong Yi felt that his self-awareness was clear and objective. He knew that he could be considered good-looking, but he knew even better that his appearance had nothing to do with loveliness.
So the man in front of him, after showing off his familiarity and intimacy with Chen Keyao, said such untrue words with an ambiguous gesture. Most likely that was … Sarcasm? Or even provocation?
Rong Yi was completely ready for war.
It was so rotten, and yet so exciting, to be the love rival of your idol who was like a God in your heart.
After struggling for quite a while, he finally plucked up his courage and asked: “you and Chen Ke Yao… Are you two very close? ”
“He really hasn’t mentioned anything to you?” Mo Yufei thought for a moment, “Now you are curious about this, because you care about him… Or because you care about me? ”
This question was quite unexpected. Rong Yi didn’t know how to answer it.
Mo Yufei was still smiling at him: “If the answer is the latter, I will tell you.”
Rong Yi couldn’t stand his stare. He had discovered already when they were on the stage earlier that Mo Yufei always looked into the other’s eyes directly when talking with others, without any dodging or avoiding. After being looked at like this for a long time, one’s heart rate would inevitably accelerate and become flustered.
He still didn’t utter a word, but Mo Yufei didn’t care either. He held his chin in one hand and put the other hand on the table and tapped the table with his index finger. After thinking for a while, he said, “if If it must be said, then I have to say it was he who abandoned me?”
“… What?” Rong Yi didn’t quite understand, “He did what to you? What?”
“I was so miserable,” Mo Yufei’s expression seemed to be quite serious. “Our relationship was broken up by him single-sidedly. I was blocked out of all sorts of communication channels. In all these past years, I’ve been sending him tickets for each of my activities, but all ignored. Finally I was told today the reserved seat had been checked in, but still it turned out… ”
Rong Yi was stunned.
“It was the little cutie living together with him,” Mo Yufei shook his head and sighed. “It’s too much a blow.”
“I, no! That… ”
Rong Yi did not know from which point to start to deny, and was very flustered.
Mo Yufei was still looking calm and unbothered: “Doesn’t that sound particularly tragic?”
Rong Yi swallowed his saliva with difficulty: “So, have you really been together?”
Mo Yufei shrugged, as a silent agreement.
Although fully in line with the previous speculation, but when it was acknowledged face-to-face, it was still a huge impact on Rong Yi. He was in a trance for a long time, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
According to Mo Yufei, Chen Keyao dumped him unilaterally. But Chen Keyao had been so bitter and acrimonious that he looked more like the one who had been let down.
“What are you thinking without saying a word?” Mo Yufei looked at him with great interest. “Your facial expression is so rich.”
“So… You’ve been sending tickets to him because you still… have feelings for him? ” Rong Yi asked carefully.
“Yes.” Mo Yufei said.
His tone and expression were too honest for Rong Yi to respond instantly.
After a long pause, he asked: “… Is it really OK that you told me everything so directly?”
“Did you record it?” Mo Yufei asked.
“… No.”
“It doesn’t matter then.”
“…”
Mo Yufei smiled at him, then picked up the chopsticks again: “Don’t just talk, the food is getting cold. You haven’t eaten very much. Be careful not to be hungry in the middle of the night.”
Rong Yi was not in the mood to eat.
“So you invited me over for dinner today to…?”
“I just wanted to invite you to dinner,” said Mo Yufei. He paused for a moment, “Ah, I’ve always been told that I’m very abrupt. Have I frightened you? ”
Rong Yi felt that he was indeed frightened today.
This God-like idol that he had always been infatuated with was the former boyfriend of the man that he was having a crush on, and up till this day the idol was still fancying his love interest. Now this Hong Men Banquet was undoubtedly trying to give him a head-on blow.
What should he do now? Should he make a bluff and pretend that he was very close to Chen Keyao so that Mo Yufei would take the hint and leave?
Rong Yi rubbed his hands under the table.
But this man was Mo Yufei. Wouldn’t he be biting a bit too much than he could chew?
As he was struggling, Mo Yufei said, “but… although I felt a bit disappointed when I saw it was not him, I was still pleasant surprised to find that it was you.”
Rong Yi looked at him stiffly, trying to analyze the meaning of this sentence.
“You see, I said ‘see you tomorrow’ yesterday, and I really saw you today.” Mo Yufei again looked right into his eyes with a smile, like just now. “Isn’t this a special fate?”
Rong Yi swallowed his saliva in silence.
Demonstration. It must be a demonstration of force. Don’t lose here. Be strong. Stare back.
He quietly cheered himself on in his heart, and finally for the first time bravely looked into Mo Yufei’s eyes for a long time.
Then Mo Yufei’s laugh became more obvious.
Rong Yi was feeling a little out of control now. Mo Yufei’s eyes and eyebrows were all exactly how he fancied in his heart. Now he was looking gentle and affectionate with that smile on his face. Rong Yi used to see this look on the screen, and it touched the soft spot in his heart every time.
Rong Yi felt that he was going to be totally defeated. Probably no one could not have a blushed face under such a stare. It must be the instinct of all human beings to have a faster heartbeat rate unconsciously.
… Did Chen Keyao have the same thought?
At this thought, all the romantic feelings in Rong Yi’s heart just dissipated completely. In an instance, Rong Yi’s heart went cold.
What to do?
Chen Keyao was so concerned about it, could it be that he was also still in love with Mo Yufei. He didn’t come to the meetings because he was afraid that he would not be able to control his feelings.
Rong Yi really wanted to go home at once and burn all the peripherals with fire, so as to completely eliminate all the possibilities of Mo Yufei’s face reappearing in front of Chen Keyao.
His mind was in a state of chaos, but the man who was still gazing at him was totally unaware.
“Is there something in the corner of your mouth?” He suddenly said to Rong Yi.
Rong Yi was busy writing the drama script in his head, so his reaction was a little slow. Dazed for a moment, he was just about to raise his hand to wipe, but Mo Yufei’s hand again reached across the table.
The moment Mo Yufei’s thumb touched the corner of his lips, Rong Yi trembled for a moment.
He thought that it might be because he was too nervous that he had the illusion that Mo Yufei’s fingers had stayed on his face for too long to be natural. His thumb wiped the corner of his lips very slowly and gently. Before leaving, it seemed to have pressed on Rong Yi’s lips slightly and deliberately.
Then, Rong Yi watched him take back his hand, bowed his head and licked his thumb with the tip of his tongue.
“Ah, it’s the sauce.” Mo Yufei said.
“…”
Rong Yi’s brain, which was about to collapse, could not rationally analyze the other party’s actions at all.
Mo Yufei looked at him again, and then suddenly said, “it’s getting late. Shall we get back?”
.
Mo Yufei was driving for the return journey.
There were only two of them in the car. This made Rong Yi, who was still missing his mobile phone, feel very uneasy.
When he got on, he wanted to go to the back seat, but Mo Yufei took the initiative to open the front passenger’s door for him, so he had no choice but to get into the passenger seat.
Along the way, Mo Yufei was finding all sorts of topics to chat with him.
Rong Yi replied absent-mindedly.
He felt that his attitude towards the man at present was very complicated.
He had liked Mo Yufei for a long time, at least much longer than Chen Keyao. But these two kinds of feelings were different and couldn’t be compared. And who in the world would have a good feeling for their love rival?
Therefore, Mo Yufei, who had silently acknowledged that he had an affair with Chen Keyao, would definitely not like him.
After all, he had adored Mo Yufei for many years, whereas for Mo Yufei, he had no other identity except being his love rival.
It was really sad.
Mo Yufei drove into the parking lot of the hotel and didn’t rush to open the door. He took out a hat from the storage box in the car and put it on Rong Yi’s head.
Rong Yi touched his head and his heart was a little flustered. He saw Mo Yufei wearing the hat earlier.
Even though the relationship was a little delicate now, the long-term fan mentality was still hard to shake off immediately. Things used by idols would always have special value.
“You go down first and wait for me at the elevator,” said Mo Yufei. “I’ll be there shortly.”
“Then this…”
“A present for you.” Mo Yufei said.
.
In fact, they could say goodbye when Rong Yi got off just now. There didn’t seem the need to meet specially at the elevator later on.
But now that he had promised, Rong Yi was still waiting at the elevator obediently.
He couldn’t help taking off his hat, looking at it in his hand and putting it back on again when he was walking back and forth in that small area, and kept looking into the mirror on the elevator door.
Just as he was looking into the mirror, the elevator door suddenly opened.
Rong Yi quickly took off his hat and stood upright.
It was Mo Yufei as expected. When he saw Rong Yi, he immediately smiled again.
“Sorry to have made you wait for a long time,” he said, coming out of the elevator, and then he took Rong Yi’s hand quite naturally. “Let’s go.”
Rong Yi didn’t feel right until he was dragged along for two steps: “You, that…”
He subconsciously wanted to break away, but the other party held it tightly: “it’s OK, this corridor doesn’t have CCTV. I won’t be so careless. ”
While talking, Rong Yi had been led by him to the door opposite his own room.
He looked back at his room door and wanted to speak, but there was the sound of the electronic prompt for swiping the card.
After the door was opened, he was immediately pulled in by Mo Yufei, who was still holding his hand.
Until he was pressed against the door and Mo Yufei was now unnaturally close to him, he suddenly came to his senses and found that things seemed to have gone completely differently from what he expected.
Mo Yufei held him on the stage once today. But now, his body language was totally different from that hug.
“You, what are you doing?” Rong Yi asked.
Mo Yufei frowned slightly, but the corners of his lips were still curved up: “Guess?”
The author’s notes:
Mo Yufei: I want to get my old flame back and I want to sleep with his current partner too. Is there a problem?
