Mr. Rong’s Lovelorn Diary
Chapter 8: A new date

Chapter 8: A new date

Translator: DragonRider

As the saying went, misfortunes never came singly.

Rong Yi failed to sleep almost the whole night. He tossed and turned while thinking of the conversation he and Chen Keyao had had in the parking lot when he closed his eyes. He also had a strong feeling of resentment other than anger and unwillingness when he remembered that.

He felt that his words were totally feeble when he got angry. He could have chosen a better way to retort in that situation.

‘If I can go back there, I will definitely speak something to defeat him badly.’

‘No no no, if I really have to go back to the past, I will choose to go back to the day we met for the first time. When Chen Keyao asked me if I needed a lift, I should have rolled my eyes to him and told this gay to get the hell away!’

After rolling back and forth on the bed for about one hundred and eighty times, he finally got sleepy. But it was dawn already.

So he had to struggle down the bed. Then, he found another tragic thing. His ID card was lost.

Rong Yi remembered dimly that the last time he had pulled out his ID card was when he had been on Chen Keyao’s car. After that, he had become emotional. So he couldn’t remember many of the details. No matter how hard he tried, he was not able to recall if he had put his ID card back in his pocket.

It would be so awkward if he had left it in Chen Keyao’s car.

Then he realized that if he picked up Chen Keyao’s ID, he wouldn’t even hesitate to break it and throw it to the trash can. He guessed Chen Keyao would just do the same thing to him. Let alone that he had already deleted all of Chen Keyao’s contact information.

Under the circumstances, he would just have to reapply a new one.

.

When Rong Yi came to the company with a sullen face, he found the whole office brimming over with happiness.

Thanks to him, everyone had the chance to have a break. Yesterday they all managed to get off work on time. And that was such a relief compared to the days before.

Rong Yi was the only one who was in a gloomy mood. It was so ironical that he had been the most joyful guy when everyone else had been upset. Now things went the whole other way round.

“What’s wrong? What’s that dark circle under your eyes?” The only other Omega in the office showed a weird smile after seeing Rong Yi’s look, “Where have you been last night?”

Hearing her words, Rong Yi only put on a false smile and didn’t say anything.

His gender was already public in the company. Now the people who weren’t married in his team were two Betas, this Omega he was talking to and him. This Omega girl called Miss Zhang. When she had first come to the team, she had often blushed when seeing Rong Yi. After they had got familiar with each other, they would crowd together to express their obsession to all the cute Alpha stars together. At present, this girl was like his BFF.

Ever since Rong Yi had a boyfriend, he couldn’t help but share everything with this friend he had. Yesterday when he had left, he greeted Miss Zhang on purpose. He even had made a victory gesture and told her that he was going to date his boyfriend with jaunty look on his face. He might have also mentioned that as a single person, she should go back home early and have more rest.

Little did he know that his words yesterday became a slap on his face.

Now Miss Zhang looked at him up and down and shook her head while clicking her tongue.

“He’s good, isn’t he?” She grinned, “You didn’t sleep that much, huh?”

“Yeah,” Rong Yi said that with no expression on his face, “He was hit by a car last night, I was busy preparing for his funeral.”

“…”

Miss Zhang became speechless.

Then Rong Yi tapped on her desk, saying, “All right, time is still limited, just get to work now.”

As good as their relationship was, Rong Yi was still her leader. So Miss Zhang didn’t dare to ask about the details after seeing his blue face.

.

Nonetheless, there were still people who liked to touch his tender spot.

When he came out to fetch the delivery food, he met the girl at the reception who greeted him with a smile.

“Hey, I didn’t see that handsome gay partner of yours coming today?”

Rong Yi got shortness of breath right away.

“What happened?” Feeling the strange aura there, the girl continued, “He…”

“He was already cremated.” Rong Yi answered.

After saying that, he took his lunch box back to the office directly, leaving the speechless girl in a shock.

In no time, after he had killed Chen Keyao cruelly in his mind a couple of times, the whole company knew that this Omega who was always eager to marry himself and finally got a boyfriend went back to his miserable single state again.

Luckily, Rong Yi usually had an imposing matter. Especially when he straightened his face, he could actually scare people away. Therefore, no one in his company would bother him deliberately now.

However, he still had to deal with the people from other company.

Liu Yuan’s voice sounded really lively when he called Rong Yi,

“Rong Yi, that baldy asks you to come when you are free,” he said that while laughing. “You gotta prepare for that. He will definitely come up with the blind date thing. Do you need me to pry into this for you?”

Rong Yi refused him squarely, “No.”

“That’s right,” Liu Yuan said. “Anyway, you are just gonna make short shift of your date, right? You already have a boyfriend.”

“…”

“Well, I’m kinda curious about him,” Liu Yuan continued. “I forgot to ask, is him an Alpha?”

“…”

“Hey, are you being shy now?” Liu Yuan burst into laughter, “That makes you more like an Omega, hahaha.”

Rong Yi didn’t spit a single word with the phone in his hand.

‘What was wrong with me by being fond of this retard?’ Rong Yi questioned himself that.

.

After two days, he brought part of the working progress reports to the first party company to have a meeting. As expected, the baldy guy asked him to stay after the meeting.

He called Rong Yi to his office and closed the door on purpose. When he turned around, he beamed with smiles, which made Rong Yi uncomfortable all over.

“Mr. Rong,” The baldy tried to put on a kind look, saying, “I heard that you are still single, right?”

‘You damn right. And I am also an Omega. All the people in my company know about that. They didn’t tell you that?’

Rong Yi thought that and rolled his eyes inwardly. However, this baldy guy was a critical person for Rong Yi’s team. Thus, Rong Yi had to nod with a reluctant smile on his face for the moment in order not to get his team members into trouble.

“Young man, you cannot only focus on your career. You should also consider the main affair of your life.” The baldy added, “Speaking of this, how old are you?”

‘You think I don’t want to?! Look what kinds of Alphas I have met!’ Rong Yi screamed in his heart.

Then, having taken a deep breath, he continued smiling and said, “I’m 26 this year.”

“That’s not a young age. You really should take this into account.” The baldy nodded while saying that. After that, he finally cut to the chase, “I have a nephew who’s a few years younger than you. He just graduated from the university. An excellent boy. I feel that things will work really well between the two of you. Why don’t you let me introduce you two to each other?”

Until now, Rong Yi really couldn’t keep that smile anymore. So he asked with a poker face, “What is his gender? I’m afraid that we are not right for each other in this respect…”

“I told you it’s my nephew. Of course he is a boy.” The baldy said, “I thought only the people from my parents’ generation would care about the first gender. I believe a young man like you won’t be a stickler to that. You guys are a well-matched couple in every other respect as I see it.”

.

Rong Yi felt that he lived such a tragic life.

First, he had been hurt and dumped by a gay Alpha. Then he had to date an Omega for the project of his company. Meanwhile, he still had to spare the time which was the most thing he was short of to reapply an ID card in the police station.

Worst of all, he found that the failure of his short relationship broke his heart even more badly than he thought.

It was true that they only had met for a short time and hadn’t had a full understanding with each other, not to mention their pitifully few dates. However, when he came back to earth, those memories with Chen Keyao always awoke in some part of him out of turn.

On the way back home after he got off work, he saw the car of the same type as Chen Keyao’s.

And when he got back home, the handkerchief which he thought he had left on Chen Keyao’s car was still on the table.

The next day when he arrived at the company, the moment he stepped into the door he remembered that not long ago, Chen Keyao had brought the dinner to him and watched him coming out from the inside.

The afternoon, he asked a half day off to go to the police station. After taking a number, he sat in the hall and remembered the scene of him meeting Chen Keyao for the first time.

Every time he walked to the door of his apartment, he would remind himself that this was the place he kissed someone for the first time in his life.

He could still sense that kiss, which was tender, warm and sweet with a passionate and dizzy smell. That was something one would get addicted to once he or she had experienced.

Up to the weekends, he went to the cinema. As he stood in front of the snack bar, he looked at the popcorn in the glass-frame cabinet and had an illusion that his fingers got the warmness from Chen Keyao again.

Millions of shards of memories were activated so easily like that. However, the happiness he had felt at that time all turned to irony.

Maybe an Omega like him would never get the ideal love he wanted.

Why couldn’t he look like the normal Omegas? They were born little and cute while always got tender affection from other people. Normal Alphas were really protective to them. Moreover, they didn’t need to worry about attracting a gay psychopath.

The description fit that boy in a light-colored coat who was dialing on his phone not far away with his head lowered.

As Rong Yi thought of that, the phone in his pocket started to vibrate suddenly. After he picked up the phone, he heard the voice in the phone matching with the boy he was looking at.

“Hello, is that Mr. Rong? I’m here. May I ask where you are?”

“…Behind your back.”

Having said that, Rong Yi saw his dating mate turning around and opening his eyes widely immediately.

After they looked at each other, Rong Yi smiled at that boy.

.

In fact, Rong Yi looked very messy today.

It had been a long time he hadn’t had a haircut. And he only wore something randomly today unlike the usual times when he would dress himself up meticulously.

However, it was still hard to look ugly since he had such a charming face.

At least, he saw surprise and joy in that boy’s eyes.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Rong.” This boy who had a pair of almond eyes and slightly curly hair ran toward him. It was a really cute young boy. “I think I have already introduced myself to you before. My name is Zhou Li.”

Rong Yi smiled and replied, “Nice meeting you.”

Actually, he was also a bit surprised. After all, that baldy did have an unattractive appearance. And Rong Yi had thought that the look of the baldy’s nephew wouldn’t be so impressive. But the boy in front of him had a really pretty face. Besides, he also looked younger than the baldy’s description.

As Rong Yi was thinking of these, Zhou Li only looked at him without blinking.

“Eh… Mr. Rong,” Zhou Li said that with a faint smile on his face, “I think we have met before.”
