Mr. Rong’s Lovelorn Diary - Chapter 74 - Zhou Li was finally in love (74.1)
Chapter 74: Zhou Li was finally in love (74.1)
Translator: DragonRider
Most of the time, Zhou considered himself a person with a very clear mind.
But when he saw the photos of Rong Yi and Chen Keyao holding hands on the Internet, he still felt rather confused instantly.
In theory, he thought he should be a little sad. Although on the surface, it was a “we are just good friends” attitude, Rong Yi, after all, was also the object he once fell in love with at first sight, and there were some different sentiments in his heart.
Rong Yi’s looks completely struck the softest spot of his heart. He could hold his chin and watch him all day long without feeling tired. Moreover, Rong Yi was also a man with a very good character, the type that wouldn’t make him feel uncomfortable, unlike those Alphas who showed their intentions all over their faces and were really awkward to get along with.
So now, strictly speaking, he was lovelorn.
The broken-hearted Zhou Li held his mobile phone in his hand, clicked on those pictures, zoomed in, looked up, down, left and right, and finally focused on those two tightly held hands.
Then he smiled.

An ineffable excitement slowly swelled in his heart.
What did he tell Rong Yi at the very beginning? These two men just looked so perfectly right standing together. The more you looked at it, the more suitable they seemed to be for each other. It was a feast for the eyes. It was a match made in heaven. Zhou Li sighed with emotion, and then sent a message to Rong Yi immediately.
Before he received a reply from Rong Yi, he got a call from Liu Yuan unexpectedly. Originally, he thought that this guy called to inquire about the relationship between him and Rong Yi after he had seen the news on the Internet. Zhou Li had made enough psychological preparation for this already, but found that it was not about that at all.
Liu Yuan seemed to have no idea about the storm on Weibo at all, but only asked him if he would be interested in playing takagism games with him.
Zhou Li immediately agreed.
This was not the first time that he and Liu Yuan had gone out together.
Since they added each other’s WeChat the other day, Liu Yuan would leave comments on his friends circle from time to time and occasionally send private message to him as well. A few days ago, Zhou Li and his friends arranged to go to the cinema together. All the tickets had been bought, but suddenly one of them couldn’t come at last minute. So Zhou Li sent an invitation on his friends circle and asked if anyone happened to be nearby and would be happy to watch a movie for free.
After refreshing his friends circle, he found that the last post next to his message was a modern poem posted by Liu Yuan. Zhou Li managed to understand it on this rare occasion. This man was expressing that he was bored to death.
So by some inexplicable force, Zhou Li tapped on this guy’s profile image and sent him a message.
In fact, Liu Yuan had given him such a bad first impression that he would have a headache whenever he saw him. If not absolutely necessary, Zhou Li didn’t want to have any in-depth contact with him at that time.
But life was full of all kinds of necessities.
However, after several times of such necessities, Zhou Li’s impression of this seemingly absent-minded Alpha had changed dramatically.
Some people were very strange: they might not be funny or humorous, might even look a little bit silly, but others might still find them particularly interesting. Liu Yuan was one of them.
Zhou Li was once talking nonsense on his friends circle, saying that after the physical examination, the doctor told him that he still had the chance to grow another five centimetres. All his other friends told him to sober up and don’t cheat himself. Only Liu Yuan replied with a particularly surprised expression and said, “That’s great, congratulations”.
So Zhou Li continued to cheat him, saying that the results of the physical examination showed that he might be transformed into an Alpha.
Liu Yuan was silent for at least half an hour, then suddenly sent him a bunch of information found on the Internet.
“It seems that there are really cases like this, but it’s said that the whole process would be quite painful, and it is easy to suffer from some after effects from an incomplete transformation. You need to remember to visit the hospital often!”
Zhou Li was embarrassed and ashamed. He had to tell him honestly that he was completely talking nonsense.
Liu Yuan sent a line of dots and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so naughty!”
He was very silly, but he was also very interesting.
Having asked him to a movie so abruptly, Zhou Li was a little anxious, but he soon felt relaxed.
In the middle of the movie, Zhou Li said quietly to Liu Yuan, “I’ve seen the spoilers of this movie, and the two protagonists all died in the end”. Liu Yuan was shocked. After that, he had been feeling nervous and alarmed whenever there was some dangerous scenes.
Until the end of the film, the two protagonists kissed each other passionately in the setting sun. He asked Zhou Li gravely in a low voice, “Is something bad going to happen now?”
Zhou Li suppressed his laugh: “I don’t really know.”
Until the movie credits appeared, Liu Yuan was at a loss.
“Surely the tragic ending can’t be in the post-credits scene, can it?” He asked.
Zhou Li pretended: “Ah, I might have been tricked by the spoilers.”
Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, “This irresponsible man is really too bad.”
When they parted that day, Liu Yuan thanked him for his movie tickets, and then stressed that he would definitely return the favour when he had the chance.
Tickets to takagism games were much more expensive than movie tickets. Liu Yuan said that one of them was given by a friend. He thought this kind of activity was too boring to go alone, so he wanted to find someone to join him. They only needed to buy one ticket, so the total cost was not bad.
It was said that the game room had been refurbished recently, looking quite decent. Zhou Li was very excited, whereas Liu Yuan seemed rather nervous.
When they walked into the first room and found a corpse lying in the middle, he even let out a scream that totally damaged his image.
Zhou Li quickly pacified him: “It’s OK, it’s all fake. Oh no, it’s real!”
Liu Yuan instantly withdrew from the room.
But soon, he seemed to realize his gaffe, so he braced himself to come back and cleared his voice: “Well, it’s quite creative.”
After turning on the lights and rummaging through the room, Zhou Li circled around the actor who pretended to be a corpse, and then said, “Could the clue be under his body?”
“I don’t think so?” Liu Yuan hesitated, “Or you could check his pockets first?”
Zhou looked up and down: “But his clothes have no pockets!”
So both of them stood by the sofa and gazed down at the body, lost in thought.
Until the corpse’s face changed subtly, Zhou Li finally said: “It can’t be …they would have put a fake body down here if it needs to be moved, right?”
Liu Yuan thought about it and totally agreed, “You are so smart!”
So they turned around, and continued to rummage in the room for the second time.
When they finally found the pass code on the top of the bookshelf, with no efficiency at all, and planned to enter the next room, Liu Yuan patted Zhou Li lightly on the shoulder when they were at the door, then lowered his voice and said, “Look at that man, is he asleep?”
Zhou Li stood on tiptoe and took a look. The body seemed to breathe well, its expression relaxed, and its posture seemed a little different as well.
“I’m so happy,” said Zhou Li. “I want to work here, too.”
The next room was surprisingly easy.
As Liu Yuan walked in, he said, “Wow, it looks like this room has been deliberately made to look old. It’s full of pounding marks. Is this a clue?”
Then, suddenly, he lowered his head: “I may have stepped on something.”
There was a clicking noise from the wall not far away.
After pushing away the wall, Liu Yuan took in a deep breath.
Zhou Li was surprised, but soon became highly excited. He walked around that mysterious room for several times, but it was hard to get close to those collections on the shelf because of the barriers in front of them, so he could not see them clearly.
“I’ll just look for it here,” Zhou Li said, smiling back at Liu Yuan. “You can just wait outside!”
Liu Yuan hesitated for a while, then came in unexpectedly: “It’s OK, I’m ok, and I’m not so afraid of it.”
OK, if he said so. Zhou Li did not insist. He continued to carefully observe the bottles and cans across the guardrail.
“I don’t think there should be any key items that we need to find in here, otherwise they won’t be separated from us like this, do you think?” Zhou Li asked.
“It makes sense, you are so smart!” Liu Yuan nodded, and then went over to the glass jar with a live snake in it. “Look, this one has no guardrail. Does that mean there is something in it?”
He looked behind the jar, then reached out and pulled out a hardcover book from the corner.
“Have a look at this?”
He opened the cover, and then the bright room outside this darkroom suddenly darkened.
“Oh my goodness!” Liu Yuan was startled.
Before he knew it, a light shone down from the ceiling. In the light, the body in that room walked in slowly.
“What the hell? A corpse coming back to life?” Liu Yuan was stunned.
Zhou Li thought for a moment, “It doesn’t seem so. See, he’s changed his clothes.”
As the man walked, he began to talk to himself. They suddenly realized. Liu Yuan found the diary of the owner of the house. The actor who played the dead body read the part of the diary that they needed to know in the form of monologue.
Even short sitcoms were included in this game. No wonder they needed real actors to perform. The actor, who was so bored to have fallen asleep just now, had amazingly infectious performing skills, which made people dare not breathe audibly.
When the actor finally left, the outer room finally became bright again. Zhou Li said in a low voice, “Wow I can’t do this job. It’s awesome. But do you remember what he said just now?”
“He said that he wrote the most suspicious information in his diary, “Liu Yuan went outside and began to look it up. “You’re smarter than me. Let’s see what useful clues there are.”
After that, they went through three rooms in a row and watched three short plays. When they finally came to the exit, they were still wanting more.
“This game is the most interesting one I’ve ever played!” Zhou Li was in a good mood. “It feels like watching an interactive movie.”
Liu Yuan said with a sigh, “You’re really quick-minded. If it were just me, I would still be stuck in the second room right now.”
He praised him several times along the way, and Zhou Li was inevitably embarrassed. But at the same time, he was feeling a little complacent.
“Well, I just happened to have got those ideas,” he clapped. “In order to thank you for taking me to play such an interesting game, I’ll invite you to dinner!”
Liu Yuan was trying to be polite, and then they went to the restaurant happily together. On the way, Zhou Li received a call.
Then his head exploded.
