Transmigrated to Another World and Doted on by Everyone!-Chapter 179: The Truth Exposed

"You’re not waiting for a call from your guy, are you? Is he coming to pick you up later?"

Seeing that it was already quite late, Yue Yeqiao blinked at Rong Xingyu and guessed.

Rong Xingyu said, "No. He doesn’t know I’m here tonight."

Qian Zhijun almost choked. He set his glass back on the table and said in surprise, "No way. Don’t you tell him everything?"

Rong Xingyu’s expression became a little unnatural. He subconsciously asked back, "D-Do I?"

It wasn’t like he told him absolutely everything.

Qian Zhijun and Yue Yeqiao nodded together. "You definitely do."

The two of them exchanged a glance and instantly reached a shared conclusion through their eyes.

Something’s off. Rong Xingyu is not quite right tonight.

"Did you and your boyfriend... have a fight?"

Yue Yeqiao was more perceptive than Qian Zhijun and she asked softly.

Rong Xingyu touched the tip of his nose. "I don’t think so."

"You two broke up???" Qian Zhijun widened his eyes, then quickly spat a few times. "Peh, peh, peh! No way!"

Rong Xingyu said, "I just said we should both calm down a bit."

Qian Zhijun: Oh ho, why does this sound kind of bad?

Seeing Rong Xingyu’s mood suddenly sink, Qian Zhijun was racking his brains for something to say to comfort him.

Then he heard Rong Xingyu speak again, as if he had suddenly figured something out. His tone was somewhat relieved as he said, "Maybe... we really do need to separate for a while."

Qian Zhijun: "???"

Strangely enough, when Rong Xingyu said this, his expression wasn’t sad at all.

Instead, he looked very calm while his eyes fixed on his phone.

It was as if Rong Xingyu wasn’t talking to Qian Zhijun and Yue Yeqiao at all, but rather speaking to the person on the other side of the phone.

Yet this side of Rong Xingyu startled Qian Zhijun and Yue Yeqiao instead.

"Y-You’re serious?" Qian Zhijun asked, half in disbelief.

Rong Xingyu smiled. "I’m not. I was just joking."

"..."

Qian Zhijun was about to say something else when, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a tall man walking toward them.

When the man came closer and Qian Zhijun and Yue Yeqiao saw his face clearly, the two of them froze completely.

Wasn’t this Rong Xingyu’s boyfriend?

After Ding Yixin walked over, he very naturally took Rong Xingyu’s hand into his own.

The gesture carried the intimacy of a couple and no one who saw it would mistake their relationship.

Rong Xingyu suddenly smiled apologetically at Qian Zhijun and Yue Yeqiao and said,

"Zhijun, Yeqiao, I’ll head back first tonight. I’m sorry about that, next time I’ll treat you to a meal."

"It’s fine, it’s fine. We were planning to leave too anyway."

Rong Xingyu then stood up.

Just as he was about to reach for the coat placed to the side, Ding Yixin picked it up first.

Ding Yixin helped Rong Xingyu put on his coat carefully, and as if worried he might be cold, he even wrapped his scarf around him.

"Let’s go, Yuyu," Ding Yixin said in a low voice.

He nodded briefly to Qian Zhijun and Yue Yeqiao, then held Rong Xingyu’s hand as they turned and left together.

After the two of them had gone, Qian Zhijun and Yue Yeqiao couldn’t help but exchange a look.

This is what he meant by breaking up? Who is he trying to fool? These damn lovebirds are definitely lying to ghosts.

...

All the way back, Ding Yixin never let go of Rong Xingyu’s hand.

Rong Xingyu, meanwhile, sat there with his head lowered, not saying a single word.

Ding Yixin let out a sigh and crouched slightly in front of Rong Xingyu.

"Yuyu, why did you have to say something like that just to test me?"

Rong Xingyu lifted his head.

Only then did Ding Yixin see that Rong Xingyu’s eyes had already turned red around the rims.

Ding Yixin’s heart instantly felt as though it had been pricked by countless fine needles.

He couldn’t help but regret that he hadn’t softened his tone a bit more earlier.

Rong Xingyu’s eyes were red, not only because he felt wronged, but because there was even more anger tangled up in his heart.

He had already suspected before that there was something wrong with his phone, and tonight he had deliberately decided to test it.

Sure enough, Ding Yixin was not only able to hear what he said through the phone, but could also pinpoint his exact location.

Rong Xingyu’s emotions were complicated.

He looked straight into Ding Yixin’s eyes and asked, "Since when did it start?"

Ding Yixin’s Adam’s apple bobbed once, but he didn’t say anything.

Looking at Ding Yixin like this, Rong Xingyu suddenly felt a chill creep up his back from below.

Just then, Ding Yixin stood up and placed his hand over Rong Xingyu’s eyes.

Ding Yixin’s voice was somewhat hoarse. "Yuyu, don’t look at me like that, okay?"

It was as if several butterflies ready to take flight had been covered; Rong Xingyu’s eyelashes trembled lightly against Ding Yixin’s palm.

Rong Xingyu suddenly seemed to lose all his strength and slowly leaned against Ding Yixin.

"Why?" Rong Xingyu asked in a slightly trembling voice.

Why.

Rong Xingyu’s vision was still completely dark, and because of that, he couldn’t see Ding Yixin’s expression at all.

Having completely given up on disguising himself, Ding Yixin’s eyes were filled with a chilling obsession.

Because he needed to know Rong Xingyu’s every move to know who he met every day, what he said, and where he went.

Ding Yixin knew this kind of behavior was despicable, but it was as if only by doing this could he truly keep Rong Xingyu by his side.

Yes, keep Rong Xingyu by his side.

Every night and day when Rong Xingyu wasn’t with him, Ding Yixin would wake up with an intense sense of palpitations.

The pain was so severe that it left Ding Yixin unable to breathe.
