Chapter 15: Your car doorHow much did it cost to repair?

Translator: DragonRider

Maybe thats why people say all parents hearts are dedicated to their children.

When Father Chen learned of Rong Yis gender, his attitude warmed up visibly. Rong Yi tried to interrupt him several times in order to retreat to his bedroom, but all failed.

The takeaway was almost cold, but he had to sit on the couch and listen to this uncles praise for his son, who vexed Rong Yi immensely.

Yao Yao, he may look a bit rough and not very good at talking, but hes actually extremely good-tempered. You see, he learned martial arts from a young age, but hes never started a fight with anyone. Hes a good kid. Plus he makes good money and is very generous. Hes definitely the type of person who will dote on his wife. Im his father. I know him best.

Then why dont you know that he would throw up at an Omega?

Jung forced a smile for courtesy: Ah, is that so.

And he really loves kids, Father Chen said, shaking his head at the same time. But what is the point of teaching classes to other peoples kids? Why wont he just get married and have his own babies? Right?

Rong Yi tried to lift up both corners of his lips: Oh.

You eat and live together every day, and you must have a great relationship, right? Father Chen looked at him with anticipation. Xiao Rong, do youhave anyone?

I Rong Yi was just about to tell him the truth, but he realised that might give him endless trouble in future. In order to make this poor father give up his unrealistic expectations as early as possible, he swallowed involuntarily and then nodded, I do.

At these words, Father Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, as expected.

How can you live with an Alpha when you have a partner then?

What? Youre accusing me of being a loose O.

Rong Yi was not letting this one off easily. He used Chen Keyao as an example: To be honest, my partner is also an Omega, so hes very relaxed about me living with an Alpha.

When someone with a look like Rong Yis said these words, they sounded rather convincing.

Father Chen was shocked: Sothats why you and Yaoare

Uncle, if theres nothing else, Ill go back to my room then, Rong Yi stood up. Have you had dinner yet? Do you want me to cook you something?

Father Chen furrowed his brow deeply: Its OK. Ill leave soon.

Having said that, he immediately stood up and walked toward the door, but turned around again: Please dont tell Yao Yao that Ive been here today, OK?

Rong Yi looked up at the camera in the corner of the living room: Oh.

When Father Chen was at the door, Rong Yi heard him mumbling a few more words: You young people. Its really not good to be like this.

Rong Yi curled his lips.

Like father like son. Not just resemblance in the looks, but also this tendency of saying annoying things to other people.

After Father Chen left, Rong Yi ate his takeaway first, and then searched the living room for ages to finally dig out the first-aid box. He didnt know whether to cry or laugh when he opened the box.

Not only did Chen Keyao put back in there the used cotton buds and iodine bottle, but also he had thrown in that bag of sanitary towels. Was he planning to keep them as gauze substitutes for his next injury?

After having tidied up the first-aid box for Chen Keyao, Rong Yi could not help but sort out the cabinet where the first-aid box lived as well.

It was such a mess, bunches of plastic bags and wrenches. Rong Yi suspected that the tools that Chen Keyao said were in the toolbox inside the shoe cabinet must have been scattered all over the house by now.

After the tidy-up and a shower, Rong Yi went back to his room and was reading a novel in bed when he heard someone opening the apartment door.

It was about the right time for Teacher Chen to come back home from his classes.

But after last nights incident, Rong Yi was still very alert. He tiptoed up to the door and opened a gap to take a look.

As it happened, he looked right into the eyes of Chen Keyao who had just finished changing into his slippers and was walking in with that large piece of tampon material still on his face.

It was a little awkward for both of them.

youre back. Rong Yi said.

He didnt wait for Chen Keyao to respond and shut the door behind him.

After about half an hour, Chen Keyao suddenly came to knock on the door.

Are you asleep? he asked outside the door. Can I come in now? I have something to say to you.

On hearing this, Rong Yi, who had slumped on the bed, reading his novels, jumped up instantly and straightened up his clothes before he responded: Oh.

Chen Keyao came in with his stool again.

My dad was here? He went straight to the point. What did he say to you?

He said youd be very nice to your wife.

Just chatted a little bit, Rong Yi turned away his head, Is that all you wanted to ask?

No, its just that I just saw it, so Im just checking, Chen Keyao said. You dont take whatever he says seriously anyway. Hes just like that, and even Ive had enough of him.

Oh, Rong Yi took another look at him, Anything else you want to talk about?

Wellabout last night, please dont get me wrong, he said. In fact, in that kind of situation, it was not very sensible for you to fight with people bare-handed.

Didnt that sound familiar? Wasnt it what the police told Chen Keyao last night?

Whenever this sort of thing happens, you should just pretend to be asleep, and its not too late to call the police after hes gone, he said. I couldnt image what would have happened yesterday had I not just woken up and heard the noise.

For some reason, Rong Yi suddenly became a little shy.

His eyes glanced around, and then he lowered his head: Oh, next time Ill be more careful.

Perhaps caught by his obvious change of attitude, Chen Keyao became stiffer as well. After having mumbled something about safety precautions, he finally still slurred out something annoying.

If someone was killed here, it would be hard for me to rent out my room again.

Rong Yis face turned icy cold immediately, and even changed the way he was looking at Chen Keyao.

So, thered better not be next time, Chen Keyao scratched his head. And also

Rong Yi lost his temper: What now?

Arent you a little irresponsible? Chen Keyao said. Yesterday you agreed to change my gauze for me.

It seemed Chen Keyaos wound recovered well.

Rong Yi had bought the medical gauze he needed to wrap it. After Rong Yi had dressed the wound swiftly, he had to watch Chen Keyao open a drawer and throw the rest of the gauze in.

Rong Yi found this guy was challenging his bottom line.

He dashed over, opened the drawer and took the gauze out, then dragged Chen Keyao to the cabinet where he kept the first-aid box. He opened the cabinet and pointed at the box: Have you seen this?

Chen Keyao looked at the box, looked at Rong Yis face, and then gave a gently tut.

But as soon as he saw Rong Yi frowning, he was sensible enough to quickly take over the gauze from Rong Yi and put it inside the first-aid box.

Is that okay? He said.

That annoying look of having been forced to do something he didnt like.

No wonder his students liked him so much. Misbehaved kids of course liked misbehaved adults.

After a few peaceful days together, it was the first weekend after he had moved into Chen Keyaos home.

However, his schedule was completely full for these two days, so he didnt have time to invite Zhou Li over.

The first thing was to move all the remaining luggage still in his original residence. Rong Yi had only a small amount of clothes with him, and he now had to wear the same jack as earlier this week, which made him psychologically very uncomfortable.

He was now in a serious financial crisis, so he didnt want to hire a worker for the removal. He estimated that he would have at most two suitcases, so he was ready to do it himself.

After having dragged his luggage back and forth on the subway twice, he realized he was being too naive.

He used to think he didnt have any suitable clothes to wear whenever he opened the wardrobe, but now it seemed he had countless clothes.

Chen Keyao had only just gotten up when he returned home the second time, dragging his luggage behind him. Seeing him look sighing heaving with exhaustion at the door, Chen Keyao furrowed his brow: Are you moving out?

Do you really want me to move out? Rong Yi dragged the suitcase towards the room.

Chen Keyao followed him, and seeing a whole bed full of untidied clothes, he let out a quiet wow.

Why are you moving by yourself? Why dont you ask a friend to help?

I thought it would be easy. Rong Yi was helpless.

So now youre done?

No. Rong Yi shook his head, Maybe two more runs.

He slumped down on the chair: Its so much trouble. I might as well throw them away. Dont want to move now.

Why didnt you come to me? Chen Keyao looked very puzzled. I can drive you there.

Rong blinked his eyes:You cars been fixed now?

Chen Keyao looked at him and suddenly laughed: Yes, with your blessing.

Chen Keyao said he had thought the car only got a dent from Rong Yis kick, but unexpectedly the car door had been making clanging noise ever since.

Youve got some good kicks, he said. Youll have a bright future with enough practice.

It didnt sound like a compliment, so Rong Yi turned away his head, and didnt dare to look back at him or speak to him.

With the help and the means of transport, the rest of the stuff was moved all at once. When Rong Yi returned home, he hesitated and then took the initiative to speak to Chen Keyao.

Your car doorHow much did it cost to repair?

Its expensive, Chen Keyao said. You cant afford it.

Are you going to pay someone compensation tomorrow? Chen Keyao asked again.

Just tell how much when I ask you, Rong Yi was upset, Dont be a busy body. How do you know I cant afford to pay back?

Chen smiled: Im just kidding you. The insurance company has already paid me.

I want to have spareribs soup for dinner. Chen Keyao said.

In fact, Rong Yi couldnt afford to pay.

Especially after he had spoken to the agent about the specific amount of compensation the next day. He thought he would soon be unable to pay Chen Keyaos rent either.

Actually, his previous landlady was a really nice person. Although she was furious when the incident happened, now having calmed down, she understood that it was not easy for a young man to make a living alone in a place far away from home, plus she had had good impression of him over these years, so eventually the sum of compensation she requested was very reasonable.

Unfortunately, even that was far beyond Rong Yis entire savings.

His spending habits were not good, only one step away from the moonlight people who would spend all their salaries every month. He earned a lot, but spent a lot too.

He returned home with a heavy heart. After much hesitation, he decided not to tell Chen Keyao about it.

He had more or less found out that Chen Keyao spent even more generously than him every day. Liu Yuan told him before that this guy was not short of money and wanted to rent out the room purely to stop his father from coming.

If he really asked Chen Keyao to pay his rent in arears, he would most likely say yes.

However, it is most difficult to pay back a favour. He had received so much help from Chen Keyao already, based on their currently awkward relationship, it would be inappropriate to push his luck further.

But money wouldnt fall from the sky by itself.

So how was he going to get through this?

The writers addition:

Father Chen: You dont have to hide it. I already know. That Xiao Rong who lives with you is an Omega

Yao Yao: Dad, please dont say anything absurd to him!

Chen Fu: And hes also a gay.

Yao Yao:

Yao Yao: What?
