Rong Xingyu couldn’t avoid it and he couldn’t push him away either.
So, he could only let him kiss him lightly like that.
When Ding Yixin finally let him go, Rong Xingyu’s face was red and he murmured softly, "I didn’t eat anything, really."
Thinking about it, he realized he was actually a little hungry.
He was still thinking about food when the screen of his phone that he tucked in his pocket, lit up, but he didn’t even notice.
Suddenly, he heard Ding Yixin call his name:
"Yuyu."
"Hm?"
Rong Xingyu leaned against Ding Yixin’s chest and lifted his head when he heard his name.
Ding Yixin’s hand was gently stroking his back.
He gave Rong Xingyu a small smile and said, "Thank you for liking me."
The seriousness in Ding Yixin’s tone made Rong Xingyu’s eyes sting.
He couldn’t help but sniffle and buried his face into Ding Yixin’s neck and shoulder.
"I want to thank you too," Rong Xingyu said, his voice a little choked. "Thank you for noticing me among millions of people and then for falling in love with me."
They held each other quietly for a while.
There were no more intimate actions; they just stayed like that, calming their emotions.
Finally, Ding Yixin leaned down and whispered something into Rong Xingyu’s ear.
Rong Xingyu heard it clearly and his whole face instantly turned bright red.
"Is that okay? Yuyu."
The way Ding Yixin looked at him made it impossible to say no.
But the request from Dr. Ding was... overwhelming.
After a fierce internal struggle, Rong Xingyu bit his lip and nodded softly.
"I... I’m a little hungry though," he whispered.
Ding Yixin stroked Rong Xingyu’s hair affectionately and said, "Alright."
Ding Yixin took Rong Xingyu to a very nice Japanese restaurant.
After filling Rong Xingyu’s stomach, Ding Yixin brought him to another shop not far away.
From the moment they stepped inside, Rong Xingyu kept his head down the entire time, he was too shy to look up.
By the time they finished shopping, everything they had bought was carefully packed and placed in the corner of the car’s backseat.
Rong Xingyu tried hard not to look at the shopping bag.
But the bag, especially the little red corner that peeking out, was impossible to ignore.
He couldn’t help but clench the edge of his clothes and swallowed his saliva hard.
Did he still have a way to casually get past this?
Rong Xingyu regretted agreeing to Ding Yixin.
He felt like he had thrown himself straight into trouble!
Until the car stopped safely, Rong Xingyu kept his head down.
When he got out, his face and eyes were still red, looking helpless and a little pitiful.
Ding Yixin held Rong Xingyu’s hand, wrapping his delicate and soft fingers in his own palm.
The last shopping bag was held by Rong Xingyu himself.
But just as Rong Xingyu was being led by Ding Yixin toward the door, he suddenly froze in shock at the figure standing outside.
The shopping bag in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Rong Zhenqiao’s face was darker than the night itself.
He looked at Rong Xingyu and Ding Yixin’s intertwined hands and his brows furrowing deeply.
He took a few quick steps forward and stopped in front of them.
Rong Xingyu picked up the shopping bag from the ground and took a timid step back, as if trying to hide behind Ding Yixin.
Rong Zhenqiao: ...
The veins on Rong Zhenqiao’s forehead throbbed violently.
No matter how much of a "straight man" he was, he could clearly see that there was something going on between his little brother and this man.
After all, he wasn’t blind!
Rong Zhenqiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm his fiery temper.
He was afraid that if he spoke out immediately, he might scare Rong Xingyu.
But!
Rong Zhenqiao suddenly opened his eyes and ground his back teeth together.
His own little brother, his precious and delicate little cabbage that he had raised so carefully was being swept away by this wild man?
Could he just let that happen???
Anger immediately surged in his chest and Rong Zhenqiao felt he couldn’t hold it in any longer.
He had only one thought: this wild man must have used some underhanded trick to blind Rong Xingyu’s eyes and confuse his heart.
In Rong Zhenqiao’s mind, his little brother was perfect in every way, just far too innocent.
He had never guarded against the wickedness of the world.
That was why this damn wild man had been able to take advantage of him!
In other words, no matter what the problem was, it definitely wasn’t his little brother’s fault, this was the mindset of Rong Zhenqiao who have an extreme brother complex.
Rong Zhenqiao tried to slow his tone.
He carefully chose his words before speaking to Rong Xingyu.
"Xiaoyu... what... what’s going on here?"
Being stared at like that, Rong Xingyu couldn’t help but bite his lip.
Getting caught in the act of his "secret relationship," he had dropped the shopping bag in shock.
Now, after coming back to his senses, Rong Xingyu felt a wave of complicated emotions.
He felt conflicted because he didn’t know how to explain himself to his big brother.
He felt guilty because his big brother had always treated him so well and he had hidden this from him.
And he was worried, what if his big brother didn’t agree with him being with Dr. Ding?
What would he do then?
All these emotions swirled in Rong Xingyu’s heart.
Seeing Rong Zhenqiao clearly angry but still trying to control himself, speaking gently and being careful not to hurt him, Rong Xingyu felt his eyes sting and redden.
He looked at Rong Zhenqiao and choked out, "Big brother..."
Rong Zhenqiao’s anger vanished completely at the sound of Rong Xingyu’s voice, which carried a hint of crying.
Seeing his little brother on the verge of tears, Rong Zhenqiao froze, unsure what to do.
