LIGHTNOVELONLINE Rong Yi felt that he might be a little schizophrenic.
Now, during half the time when he faced Chen Keyao every day, his whole heart was full of flowers and the more he looked at Chen Keyao, the happier and more love he felt; but during the other half time, he hated Chen Keyao so much that he wanted to kick his ass.
In contrast, Chen Keyao’s mood was much more stable. Every day, he was fully prepared, accompanying with high spirits Rong Yi’s parents to tour around the streets and allies of the city. He was forced to correct his habit of sleeping during the day and working at night.
After a week of such a schedule, Rong Yi felt his position in his parents’ heart descended greatly. When his mother heard the word Chen, she could immediately beam with joy and laugh satisfactorily.
When it was finally the weekends, Rong Yi’s parents mentioned that it had been a long while since they came and they had played and seen to their hearts’ content, and it was inappropriate that they still hadn’t visited their son and son-in-law’s home. So early in the morning, Chen Keyao obeyed the order and drove them over to their home.
But after Rong Yi’s parents came, there was still another small problem.
It was only a piece of cake for Rong Yi to cook dishes for four people. However, he can’t make bricks without straw. Several days ago, a little tragedy happened in the kitchen and it hadn’t been completely repaired yet.
Rong Yi’s parents toured around the house and when they walked past the kitchen, they glanced into it and were shocked.
That day, when Chen Keyao told Rong Yi that the kitchen was not seriously damaged, he was obviously only trying to comfort Rong Yi. After the soup of ribs completely dried up, a small explosion occurred and half the wall was black. If the two people hadn’t been intoxicated by pheromones, they should have smelled it long before.
How careless Rong Yi was when cooking! Of course, Rong Yi was reproached by his mother. Rong Yi felt greatly wronged and bitter because he couldn’t tell his parents the real reason behind his carelessness. All he could do was curl his lips and glare at Chen Keyao.
Chen Keyao quickly changed the subject, led his mother-in-law back to the living room, and then flamboyantly boasted of Rong Yi’s cooking skills, saying Rong Yi was so good that the same kind couldn’t be found anywhere in the whole world.
Rong Yi himself even felt embarrassed as he listened to that exaggerated boast, but his parents were quite happy.
No matter how they depreciated their son on the surface, they still loved their son deeply from their hearts. So pretty soon, they followed Chen Keyao to praise Rong Yi.
“Well, our son was quite good at cooking when he was still in high school.” Rong Yi’s father who seldom spoke smiled. “At that time, I always thought about who could be so blessed to marry our son in the future.”
Hearing this, Chen Keyao looked at Rong Yi who was sitting diagonally opposite. He didn’t speak, but only laughed all the time until Rong Yi’s face began to burn. Just when Rong Yi wanted to say something to stop this topic that made him feel ashamed, he saw Chen Keyao suddenly frown.
Rong Yi was quite familiar with this expression of Chen Keyao. As expected, a few seconds later, Chen Keyao raised his hand, covered his mouth and bent down.
Rong Yi’s parents had never seen this and were especially worried. “Little Chen, what happened? Are you okay?”
Chen Keyao waved his hand while still holding his head low, then stood up and quickly walked into the bathroom.
The family of three were left behind, facing each other.
“Oh, is there something wrong with little Chen’s stomach?” Rong Yi’s mother was very concerned. “Son, don’t just sit here. Go and look. Show your care.”
Rong Yi had no expression on his face, sitting unmoved.
Care about what? During these days, every day after Rong Yi came home, Chen Keyao would hug and kiss him without any sign of vomiting. How was it happening again now, right in front of his parents? What was in this person’s mind after all?
After a while, Chen Keyao returned to the living room, looking really unwell.
Seeing this, Rong Yi sighed inwardly, then quickly walked up to Chen Keyao and asked in whisper. “What’s wrong with you?!”
Chen Keyao frowned deeply and just when he was about to speak, he covered his mouth again.
“Oh, there must be something wrong with his stomach.” Rong Yi’s mother was seriously worried. “Is there any medicine at home? Why not go to the hospital for a check?”
“…There may be no such need.” Rong Yi said.
As he spoke, he symbolically patted Chen Keyao on his back and just when he was about to pat the third time, Chen Keyao again turned and rushed into the bathroom.
Rong Yi froze there, his face a little red.
This was too much while his parents were still here. How many rockets had Chen Keyao launched in his brain to make it so serious?
“Hurry and check if he’s okay,” said Yi’s mother, a little dissatisfied. “Why don’t you care about him when he is not feeling well?”
Rong Yi’s head ached. How should he start? If he went to the bathroom, Chen Keyao probably would vomit more seriously. However, the inside truth couldn’t be explained to his parents. It was really embarrassing.
After about five minutes, Chen Keyao finally came out. Not only the hair on his forehead but also the Band-Aid on his cheek was soaked. All pale.
“What’s wrong with you, little Chen?” Rong Yi’s mother looked worried. “Did you ate something spoiled?”
“My stomach is not very good recently… Maybe because I drank some yogurt with an empty stomach when I went out in the morning. It was so cold that my stomach was disturbed.” Chen Keyao smiled bitterly. “I will go downstairs and buy some medicine. I will be back soon.”
While saying, he was about to turn around, only to be held back by Rong Yi’s mother.
“If you don’t feel comfortable, you should take a break,” she said, meanwhile pointing at Rong Yi. “When two people are together, of course they must take care of each other. Son, you go.”
“…”
Rong Yi stood up silently, peeked at Chen Keyao, then went back to his room, put on his coat and went out.
.
Anyway, the medicine box at home was almost empty. Thinking good preparation eliminated worries, Rong Yi bought a lot of basic medicines including some for stomach issues.
This time, Rong Yi was absent for about twenty minutes, and when he got home, the three people were sitting on the sofa and watching TV in harmony and with joy. Since Rong Yi moved in, that TV had always been an ornament. Chen Keyao once complained that after the installment of the set-top box, he couldn’t use the two remote controls at all where only dust would accumulate.
What was being played was a show quite popular recently. On the stage, a group of beautiful Omegas were singing and dancing, quite pleasing to the eye.
Before Rong Yi had time to put the bag of medicine down, he saw Chen Keyao frowning at the TV, still pale and uncomfortable.
Just when Rong Yi was wondering whether this was not quite right, the TV displayed a close shot. An Omega boy even prettier than Zhou Li winked to the camera.
Closely after that, Chen Keyao covered his mouth and rushed into the bathroom.
Rong Yi stood there, stunned.
.
Without the urge of his mother, this time Rong Yi followed Chen Keyao into the bathroom with the speed of light. He looked at the guy who was squatting in front of the water bucket and vomiting without stop. When Rong Yi spoke, he sounded really angry.
“Chen Keyao, this is too much.”
Chen Keyao vomited and almost fainted, unable to answer.
Rong Yi finally couldn’t control himself and did what he had been wanting to do these days. He kicked Chen Keyao’s ass.
“Say, what were you thinking about in front of the TV just now? Aren’t you gay? Has your aesthetic taste changed so thoroughly while your stinking illness hasn’t been cured?”
Chen Keyao, who had been kicked, kept vomiting.
Rong Yi, hands crossed in front of his chest, whirled around Chen Keyao.
“No wonder your reaction towards me has become less and less obvious recently. Say, have your feelings for me faded already?!”
Chen Keyao finally calmed down a little. He patted his face with water and then stood up straight weakly.
“My stomach is on the blink,” he said.
Rong Yi snorted, “You can say that to my mother.”
“Really,” Chen Keyao said as he walked over to Rong Yi and hung himself on Rong Yi. “I didn’t have breakfast, but only drank a cup of yogurt. Now my whole stomach is twitching. Where is the medicine you bought?”
Rong Yi was stunned and suddenly remembered one thing.
“Have you bought yogurt recently?” he asked.
Chen Keyao shook his head. “There is yogurt in the refrigerator.”
.
Rong Yi quickly took this person who was disabled in terms of everyday life to the hospital.
Neither of them had bought yogurt recently. Then the only thing that might have appeared in the refrigerator was the about-to-expire yoghurt the idiot had bought some days ago. It had long expired!
After arriving at the hospital in a rush, Chen Keyao almost vomited in front of the doctor more than 50 years old. Rong Yi laughed and cried.
The doctor asked Chen Keyao to have a blood test first.
While waiting for the test report, Rong Yi accompanied Chen Keyao sitting on the bench in the waiting area. Suddenly he remembered that in the middle of certain night not long ago, Chen Keyao also accompanied him sitting here.
Rong Yi looked sideways at this big man who was lying on his lap with an awkward posture because of discomfort. In his mind appeared what his mother had said.
When two people are together, they must take care of each other.
Rong Yi reached out his and rubbed the back of Chen Keyao’s head, “You okay?”
Chen Keyao looked up and smiled at him. “Better now.”
“You can’t be comfortable like this,” said Rong Yi. “Lean on my shoulder.”
So Chen Keyao sat up, leaned over to Rong Yi, and adjusted his posture before closing his eyes.
Rong Yi looked down at him and also leaned over.
He thought it was fortunate that he was tall so that they could snugly lean towards each other.
.
The diagnosis reported that it was acute gastritis and mild food poisoning.
Rong Yi asked the doctor whether the gastritis was related to Chen Keyao’s forced vomiting recently. Hearing this, the doctor kept shaking his head and said, “You are not inducing vomiting in order to lose weight, are you? This will definitely hurt your stomachache.”
During the transfusion, Rong Yi also accompanied Chen Keyao. In the middle of it, Rong Yi helped him carry the bottle and saw him go to the toilet and vomit again. Rong Yi was not sure whether it was because his poor stomach or he thought of something bad.
“It is my stomach…” Chen Keyao felt especially wronged. “Even if I think of those things now, I won’t vomit. I will only feel a little bit uncomfortable, but I can bear it. If you don’t believe me, kiss me now.”
How could Rong Yi dare to kiss him? He ordered Chen Keyao not to play any tricks or talk nonsense.
Rong Yi felt it was purely because Chen Keyao was too unfriendly to himself during this time that his stomach was affected. The doctor said it would be cured if they didn’t rush. But Chen Keyao kept fighting with himself.
“If there is something wrong with the stomach, it will become a big trouble. It is really difficult to recover once it is really hurt. And if it becomes chronic gastritis, you will have to suffer.” Rong Yi complained.
“But I really can’t help it,” Chen Keyao grumbled while leaning against the back of the bench. “Unless you don’t appear in front of me. Oh… that won’t work either. If you don’t appear, I will think about you more.”
Rong Yi glimpsed at him. “Short-sighted. If you have chronic illness now, I will have to take care of you when we get old.”
Hearing this, Chen Keyao opened his eyes, slightly looked up at Rong Yi, then lay back, “I’m sorry.”
When he said this, he was laughing all the time, especially insincere.
.
Because the kitchen at home couldn’t be used, they originally planned to order takeaways for lunch and then go to a nearby restaurant to have dinner. Now that Chen Keyao suddenly fell ill, naturally everything was simplified.
His parents returned to the hotel in advance and sent a message to Rong Yi, saying that they would go to the airport by themselves tomorrow so that Chen Keyao could have a good rest. They also said that they had left a red packet on the coffee table as a gift to Chen Keyao. They originally wanted to give it to their son-in-law as a meeting gift when they had dinner. Now it was simpler, exempting them from some ceremony of giving and rejecting. It was not much money, but a token of their heartfelt feelings.
After Rong Yi took Chen Keyao back to his room, he went to look at the coffee table; it was a thick stack of money.
He took the red packet into Chen Keyao’s room and placed it on him.
“Here, it is for you.”
Chen Keyao was confused: “For what?”
“…for keeping you as mine.” Rong Yi said.
“The rent?” Chen Keyao said and suddenly laughed. “The agent called me a few days ago and said that it was almost time to renew the lease and asked if we have time to sign the contract.”
“Ah……”
Chen Keyao couldn’t be happier. “I told him there was no such need because we are going to get married pretty soon.”
“…”
Rong Yi could probably imagine the agent’s amazement at the time.
But the so-called “pretty soon”, where did the “soon” come from? Hadn’t this guy said that they could still take time to think more thoroughly?
“This is from my parents.” After saying this, Rong Yi turned to walk outside the room. “You take the medicine first and then rest for a while. I will go and find out the electric cooker and make some porridge at night.”
When he arrived at the kitchen door, he found that Chen Keyao also followed him out.
“What are you doing?” Rong Yi frowned. “Go back and lie down.”
“I am taking medicine. But there is no water.” Chen Keyao explained.
Rong Yi looked around and pointed to table in the living room. “There.”
When his parents left, they took the garbage away, but didn’t clean up the table. There were still a few teacups on the table, and Chen Keyao’s was also among them. Rong Yi quickly walked over, picked up Chen Keyao’s cup, and went to the water dispenser to get some water before handing it over to Chen Keyao with the pills.
Chen Keyao took the medicine with the water, and then slightly tilted his head. “Why, the water tasted a little strange.”
Hearing this, Rong Yi leaned over, smelled the cup, and then he became anxious.
His father, elder Rong, almost had no hobbies except that every day when having meals, he would drink some wine. Wherever he went, he would always carry a bottle of white wine with him. Originally, he didn’t bring any with him because of the flight, but Rong Yi heard that Chen Keyao specially bought his father two bottles of Maotai a few days ago. Rong Yi’s mother expressly praised that Chen Keyao was so considerate that he even bought Rong Yi’s father a small jug that was easy to carry and seal.
On the way to the hospital, Rong Yi ordered his parents some takeaways for lunch. Probably his father had poured some to drink while eating. He must have mistaken Chen Keyao’s cup for his own and also didn’t finish drinking the white wine.
“Are you okay? How does your stomach feel?”
It didn’t matter the least how much Chen Keyao could drink. The doctor had just advised that Chen Keyao’s meals must be light. Rong Yi didn’t know how much Chen Keyao had drunk. If it hurt the stomach, it would be terrible. Fortunately, there should have been little left in the cup. Moreover, it was diluted before Chen Keyo drank those few mouthfuls, so the amount should be very small.
“I’m fine,” Chen Keyao was very calm. “I feel my stomach is warm and not uncomfortable.”
Rong Yi was still worried. He hesitated for a while and pointed to Chen Keyao’s room. “You’d better go take a rest first… If you don’t feel comfortable, call me, remember?”
“Ok,” Chen Keyao nodded. “I will sleep in the afternoon. Don’t you come in.”
