Chapter 378 - OG 1.19
Yunyu was still in his acting mode while he watched the door from afar. He sauntered and peeked from the peephole.
After he made sure that Long Shen had left, Yunyu laughed evilly, "Nyeh-heh-heh! Serves you right for abusing Bai Yunyu! How heartless can you be, leaving a sick man with a sprained ankle in the middle of an empty trail just because he's ugly?
Yunyu locked the door and washed his face to clear the dried up tears on his cheek. Yunyu hummed Han Ye's song again while he cleaned up the dinner table. Long Shen really ate everything, even though he could puke at any time, which made Yunyu impressed.
Pupa popped out again and saw the number of plates on the table, "I can't believe he ate everything. This is literally at least four men serving."
"That's called glutton and jealousy. He doesn't want to share my cooking with anybody else. He would rather stuff his stomach until it burst rather than seeing me giving this to Aaron. I commend him for his dedication," Yunyu said.
After he cleaned everything. He checked the sticky notes he wrote this morning before Long Shen came, including all the love words. Yunyu chuckled evilly, he marvelled at his own creativity and his ultimate Guilt Tripping no Justu skill.
Pupa watched the amount of work Yunyu did for this drama he prepared for Long Shen. Yunyu spent the whole night writing the story that he created on the sticky notes and then put more cute stickers and glitters like a teenage girl. In the morning, he sorted it and stick the pink notes on the wall to make it more obvious for Long Shen.
Pupa never expected Long Shen to fall for such a trick, but here we are, with Long Shen's Fatemeter reaching 75% quickly.
"And Long Shen is supposed to be a difficult master of the world because he's so unfeeling and is indeed an asshole," Pupa said.
"Well, that's because I understand what kind of person Long Shen is. He is an asshole who verbally abused Yunyu countless times. But just like you said before, he's not a bad person. It's just his way to cope under stress."
"But that doesn't forgive his mistake either. Because he verbally abused Yunyu consciously, so he has to feel the guilt first," Yunyu said.
"Are you still petty about him?"
"Well, kind of, but it's justifiable, Pupa," Yunyu replied. "And I'm here also teaching him about regret. He has a smooth life despite being an orphan. So he felt like treating everyone like dirt won't get him any repercussion."
"Which is true. I saw his fan on social media, and man, they are vicious. I made an anonymous account telling his fans in the forum that I was a staff that worked with him, and I slandered him so much, saying that Long Shen is an asshole. And all I got is mass report, aish," Yunyu shook his head.
"The only way to teach him about regret is by realizing that he had hurt someone who loved him deeply, someone like Bai Yunyu of this world."
Yunyu pointed at the pink sticky notes, "You see these notes, while I'm the one who writes it as the plan to guilt trip Long Shen. But those words came from inside my heart, at least, inside the Bai Yunyu in this world."
"Long Shen is both Bai Yunyu's heaven and hell. Bai Yuyu of this world is an orphan who has no one after he left the orphanage. He is also very ugly, which caused him to get bullied since he was young and outcasted when he got older. But Long Shen picked him up as his assistant after knowing that Yunyu was an orphan, and Yunyu appreciates that a lot. He dedicated his life to serving Long Shen, like a king and a servant. He always listens to what Long Shen said, even when Long Shen said that he is an ugly thing who doesn't deserve to live."
"Long Shen is the source of Yunyu's strength, not only money but also the source of his will to live."
Yunyu closed his eyes to feel the heart that Bai Yunyu of this world had, "Bai Yunyu of this world loved Long Shen so much. He didn't faint the moment we transmigrated here, Pupa. Bai Yunyu died because of overworking, exhaustion, and the fact that Long Shen said Yunyu should just die since he was too slow to do stuff that day because he was tired."
"I still felt the warmth of Bai Yunyu of this world's love. He was so sincere to Long Shen, even after so much abuse and after his death. The only feeling that he had was regret. He probably regretted that he died too young, so he couldn't serve Long Shen anymore, and he also regretted the fact that he had loved this man for so long but still had no courage to confess."
"I'm just helping him, so Long Shen will understand the feeling of the Bai Yunyu of this world."
Yunyu bit his lower lip for a moment and continued, "This feeling is so sincere but very complicated. I don't know how to translate this into words, but maybe the closest thing that Bai Yunyu has for Long Shen is… stupidly sincere love."
"After being repeatedly called ugly and disgusting by the person he loved the most, Bai Yunyu still doesn't hold any grudge against Long Shen. But he understood that he didn't have the chance to ever hold Long Shen's hand. I don't understand how can someone be so stupid, yet so warm…"
"I don't understand why would you hurt yourself for someone you love. I will not do such thing…"
Yunyu tried to understand the feeling that Bai Yunyu of this world had for Long Shen. If it was him, he would just smack that asshole until he died.
But then, he remembered what he did to Long Shen in that backup world. He fought fire with fire and caused everything to burn Long Shen.
Pupa watched Yunyu, who was in pain because he tried to deny the feeling that he had for Long Shen. Maybe he didn't understand, but he also had the same feeling for Han Ye, right? There was no difference between the spicy chicken host Yunyu and the ugly Bai Yunyu in this world.
They were both loving someone who hated them to the bone. But they still wanted to love. It was so stupid, yet so selfless.
Pupa watched as Yunyu's emotion started to get unstable, then it said, "You need to calm down first. Your emotion is unstable. There is no need to associate yourself with the ugly Bai Yunyu of this world."
"I… I refuse to associate with such stupidity," Yunyu shook his head. "I'm not an idiot who would sacrifice everything for someone who hates me, right, Pupa?"
"… Yes, you're not that kind of guy. You're still my spicy chicken host, don't worry," Pupa said to pacify Yunyu.
After Yunyu calmed himself down, he stared at the sticky notes on the wall and nodded assuringly, "It's time for the next step."
