Chapter 26: You, get off me…

Translator: DragonRider

Rong Yi’s sudden fluster did not last long.

Because just a few seconds later, Chen Keyao took off again in despaired howling.

Seeing this guy jumping up the back of the sofa and on the verge of tipping over the whole sofa, Rong Yi rushed over hurriedly to catch the black snake that had just popped its head out of the gaps of the sofa.

However, he didn’t dare to reach out directly when he was near the snake.

Mimi was apparently frightened by Chen Keyao too, holding her head high in a probably defensive state. If Rong Yi carelessly got closer now, he was very likely to be attacked.

Rong Yi had seen Zhou Li grabbing it before in a very resolute and natural way as if it was a piece of cake. But Rong Yi dared not try easily.

He looked back helplessly at the dancer on the back of the sofa and said, “Can you be quiet for a moment?”

Chen Keyao immediately shut up, but at the same time extended his arm and grabbed Rong Yi’s arm. His fingers were icy cold, without any temperature, and trembling too.

He looked rather miserable. Rong Yi had to reach out and patted him gently on the back of his hand: “You wait here. I’ll figure out something.”

Unfortunately, Chen Keyao was willing to trust him and wait, while Mimi could not.

The little thing looked up at the two humans in front of him for a while, and suddenly leapt forward, even faster than the speed it used to catch Lightning.

Rong Yi was naturally shocked again, and then he made a sudden loud cry.

His arm was almost snapped off in an instant.

Chen Keyao’s soul went out of his body. While Mimi was carrying out its action, Chen Keyao threw his whole body onto Rong Yi and was trying to cling onto him with his hands and feet. Obviously, he had lost his mind completely.

Rong Yi was about to collapse.

Chen Keyao was a man of 1.9 meters height and had tons of muscles. How heavy would it be! This was an unbearable heaviness of being.

He held on for three seconds, and eventually fell on the sofa and even the box flew out of his hand.

The two men rolled together on the sofa in the midst of a panic, limbs entangled and both crying for help.

Chen Keyao was lying on Rong Yi, holding him in his arms and shouting, “The snake is flying! The snake is flying!”

Rong Yi was losing his breath: “You, get off me…”

“Get it into the box!” Chen Keyao shook him on the shoulder.

Rong Yi struggled: “You get up first…”

It was so heavy. How could it be so heavy? It would have been better if he could just fly up to the ceiling as before.

Rong Yi had no choice but to comfort him patiently in order to find snakes quickly.

“Calm down, the snake has gone,” he said, patting Chen Keyao’s back slowly. “Don’t be afraid, it’s all right. I’m here.”

It was like comforting a child, but it was surprisingly effective.

A moment later, Chen Keyao really calmed down a bit under such comfort. He lowered his head into the sofa fabric next to Rong Yi’s face and took a deep breath. Then he asked, “Where’s the snake?”

On the sofa, Rong Yi turned his head around with great difficult to check, and was pleasantly surprised.

Mimi dashed around in panic and escaped into the box that had flown out of Rong Yi’s hands. At the moment, it was coiled in there without any movement.

“The snake has gone back,” Rong Yi did not know why he had to suppress his voice. He was probably afraid of disturbing Mimi. “Look!”

While he spoke, he held Chen Keyao’s head in his hands, forcing him to turn his eyes to that direction.

Quickly, Chen Keyao breathed a sigh of relief with much exaggeration.

Half of the warm breath hit one side of Rong Yi’s face.

“Well…” Rong Yi’s voice was even quieter. “Get up, I’ll go and lock it up quickly.”

Chen Keyao turned around again, and then, when the two pair of eyes looked into each other, they were both suddenly taken aback. Then he muttered in a low voice: “… I’m sorry.”

“Get up first.” Rong Yi turned his head away to avoid his eyes.

But Chen Keyao did not move.

The body did not move away, nor did the eyes. They were still on Rong Yi’s face.

“You…” Rong Yi was flustered. “If you don’t get off me now, the snake is going to run away again.”

Unexpectedly, this sentence worked rather well. Chen Keyao jumped off him in an instant. Not only that, he rushed all the way into the bathroom and slammed the door.

Soon there came the noise of running water in the bathroom.

Rong Yi lay on the sofa for a while before he sat up red-faced and red-eared.

Mimi remained in the box, motionless.

Rong Yi sealed the box containing Mimi with cello tape. All but the air holes were wrapped up.

It took him a lot of time to make sure that the box was securely sealed up and yet not too inconvenient for Zhou Li to unwrap everything when he took it back. After all had been sorted, Chen Keyao still had not come out of the toilet.

The sound of the water had been loud all the time.

Rong Yi suspected that Chen Keyao vomited again.

He hesitated, wanted to ask, but felt a little embarrassed.

After Rong Yi had sat in the living room with the sealed Mimi for a long time, Chen Keyao finally came out.

His face was all wet and the bangs on his forehead were glued together as if he had just patted his face with a lot of water. At the sight of Rong Yi, he was about to say something when he suddenly paused and then he stepped back.

“… It’s all sealed up!” Rong Yi lifted it up and showed it to him. “It won’t come out again.”

Chen Keyao looked painful and did not want to inspect it at all.

“Quick, take it away,” he said, gesturing desperately at Rong Yi. “Don’t let me see it any more.”

The next morning Zhou Li called to ask about his precious Mimi. Rong Yi told him last night’s incident as a joke. Originally, he just wanted to laugh with him and mock Chen Keyao. To his surprise, Zhou Li turned quite embarrassed.

“Was he really that scared…” Zhou Li was extremely embarrassed. “Then I’ll come and pick up Mimi right now.”

“Wouldn’t your grandmother be upset?”

“It’s all right. I’ll think of something else,” Zhou Li said. “I’ll come right now.”

Rong Yi also began to feel embarrassed.

He told Zhou Li that he did not mean to blame Zhou Li for this, but the seemingly soft little boy had a strange stubbornness in his bones and seemed particularly unwilling to cause any more trouble. No matter what Rong Yi said, he still insisted on coming and taking the snake away.

From a certain point of view, it was also a relief to Rong Yi.

Had he known that Chen Keyao would be so scared of snakes, he would have refused Zhou Li’s request in the first place.

Chen Keyao was not up yet when Zhou Li arrived.

Now that he was here, it was a natural courtesy to have him sit down and chat for a little while. After Rong Yi finished complaining about Chen Keyao’s behaviour last night, Zhou Li thought for a moment and then said, ‘Could I invite you two to have dinner together, to show my thanks to you and my apologies to him.’

Rong Yi was somewhat familiar with Zhou Li’s character. He would feel awful when owing anybody anything, so it’d be best to just accept his offer.

When Chen Keyao was about to wake up, Rong Yi sent him a message and asked him for his opinions. After all, Mimi was still here. This guy was probably still afraid to come anywhere near this room.

A moment later, Chen Keyao replied.

He said, “Wouldn’t I become a light bulb between you two?”

Rong Yi was speechless at the message, and Zhou Li reacted even more than him.

“You haven’t explained to him yet,” he said, somewhat puzzled. “Shall I speak for you?”

“Well…” Rong Yi hesitated for a moment, “He and Liu Yuan… that hamster guy, they are on good terms. If you explained this to him, then Liu Yuan would also know that you are still single. It would become troublesome for you, wouldn’t it?

This excuse sounded rather reasonable and just.

Zhou Li was very touched, and at the same time a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Chen Keyao suddenly sent another message: I’m OK for that. When?

Before Rong Yi managed to reply, Chen Keyao’s voice came across the living room.

“In order not to make myself look lonely, can I bring a friend?”

Chen Keyao said he wanted to bring Liu Yuan with him.

“He was still writing poems in his friends circle in the middle of last night. It seemed he was in a bad mood,” Chen Keyao said. “Let’s get him out and help him relax. I can pay for his share.”

Zhou Li quickly waved his hand: “No need! It’ll be my treat! ”

After confirming the time with Liu Yuan, they finally made a booking for Sunday afternoon, the next day.

When Zhou Li left with his Mimi, the atmosphere in the apartment changed somehow. They two had got along quite naturally just now, but once alone with Chen Keyao, he did not know why he was at a loss all of a sudden.

He looked at the equally awkward fellow and said, “Well… Then I’ll just go back to my room.”

Chen Keyao nodded, “Oh.”

Rongy Yi walked a couple of steps toward his room, then turned back: “… What would you like for dinner today?

Chen Keyao thought for a moment: “Sparerib soup?”

“… Can’t you think of anything else.”

Chen Keyao looked a little distressed: “Sweet and sour ribs?”

Rong Yi, feeling helpless, nodded his head: “All right then.”

He walked towards his room again, but he looked back again after two steps, and found that Chen Keyao was still standing there looking at him.

As soon as their eyes met, they immediately both turned away with tacit understanding.

Then they spoke at the same time.

“Yesterday…”

“Well…”

And shut up at the same time.

Chen Keyao’s eyes drifted left and right along the floor area in front of him. “You go ahead first.”

Rong Yi hesitated for a moment and then quietly clenched his hands on his side into fists.

“Why did you suddenly go to the toilet yesterday?”

Chen Keyao was stunned for a moment, then his expression became visibly strained.

“Er… I, I suddenly feel a little unwell. Maybe it was too traumatic, I was too frightened… My stomach was a little unsettled, just…”

“… Vomited? ”

“It had nothing to do with you!” Chen Keyao emphasized.

Rong Yi stared at his face for a moment and sighed, “Okay.”

He turned to his room for the third time, and at the same time Chen Keyao’s voice came from behind.

“Are you upset?”

“No,” Rong Yi shrugged his shoulders, with his back to Chen Keyao. “I’m used to it now.”

He closed the door immediately after returning to his room, then twirled around twice, and finally took out his mobile phone.

Opening the browsing history, he quickly found the forum he visited a week ago. Now his account surely should allow him to speak without any restrictions!

Rong Yi searched for the post that had bothered him till this day, and then typed in a reply.

“My dear, rather than struggling with why he is an Omega, you might as well go and consult a professional psychologist as soon as possible.”

The author’s notes.

I haven’t kept any pet snakes. If there’s anything out of common sense, please remember that Mimi is an Omega snake that you’ve never seen before.
