Chapter 376 - OG 1.17
Long Shen ate at least 75% of all the food that Yunyu served, while Yunyu ate the rest. He was so full, too full that he might puke anytime.
Long Shen inevitably burped out loud, which made him flushed in shame. He never showed such an unruly manner in front of anyone, especially to someone like his former assistant. "Pardon…" Long Shen mumbled.
Yunyu giggled lightly and nodded, "It\'s okay, Sir, you ate a lot of food. I don\'t even know why do you have to do it. I can always send some to Aaron…"
Long Shen\'s joyful mood soured again. He turned his head towards Yunyu and said, "From now on, you can\'t cook for him. Everything that you cook is only for you and for me. If you cook something like this again, then do tell me because I will eat anything that you serve."
"But—" Yunyu wanted to say that it was so unreasonable, but he didn\'t want to anger Long Shen even more.
Long Shen knew what Yunyu wanted to say next. Probably it was about his relationship with that bastard Aaron Xu. Long Shen\'s gaze deepened, and he asked bluntly, "What\'s your relationship with that bastard?"
Yunyu immediately understood which person Long Shen called a bastard. Yunyu shook his head and replied, "Please don\'t call him a bastard, Sir. He\'s a good man, and he is—"
"What is your relationship with him? Tell me now," Long Shen asked impatiently. He didn\'t want to listen to a lecture about the goodness of that bastard, it made his ears bleed.
"… we are in an unofficial relationship, sir," Yunyu replied. He cast his gaze down, afraid to face Long Shen\'s fierce glare that gutted his courage.
Long Shen clenched his fist. He wanted to find that guy right now and beat him for stealing Yunyu. But he knew Yunyu wouldn\'t be happy.
He was the one who screwed up, and he was also the one who allowed Aaron Xu to barged in because he got swayed for a while.
"Unofficial?" Long Shen decided to hold his anger and asked patiently, as he didn\'t want to make Yunyu cry again.
"W—Well, I allowed him to date me without commitment, so he can break up with me whenever he wants when he finds someone he truly likes, no hard feelings from me. I\'m just an ugly guy who would only burden him in the future."
"You\'re not ugly," Long Shen said. Well, truth to be told, Yunyu was physically ugly, indeed. But his heart was so sincere that it shone brightly. Aaron Xu must\'ve realized this faster than him. That was why that bastard took the chance.
"You said it yourself, Sir. You said to me once that I look too ugly to look at during his bad days, so you dismiss me earlier…." Yunyu said weakly. "It\'s okay, Mr. Long. I understand that it\'s the truth. You don\'t need to sugarcoat it."
Long Shen just realized that he shot himself on the feet again. His trashy mouth really said something so outrageous when he\'s tired with work or with everything else.
Long Shen zipped his mouth, unable to speak, but he tried to shift the topic by checking at the sticky notes on the wall.
Long Shen got up with difficulty because he ate too much. He sauntered to the sticky notes and read them one by one. It mainly was Yunyu\'s encouraging word for himself for the tough days that Long Shen gave him.
But the more he read, the more he realized something,
Yunyu admired and adored him a lot. He read one sticky note that said:
-Mr. Long Shen plays as an evil crown prince in his new role. He looks so handsome and majestic, it makes me want to become his empress, hehe\'-
Long Shen chuckled with such innocent admiration. Of course, he got many fan letters, but none of them felt even more sincere and cute than Yunyu\'s. He read few more sticky notes under that one, and it said:
-Mr. Long Shen practised horse riding for his new role. I wonder how he can be so talented? It makes me wonder which lucky girl will be with him in the future? I will be envious, of course. But as long as Mr. Long Shen is happy, then so must I!-
-Mr. Long Shen often scolded me at the set. But I understand that his work is so stressful and requires so much perfection. Acting is really hard, though. I believe Mr. Long Shen will handle the role just fine. He\'s a legendary movie emperor, after all. I really hope he can maintain that title for a long time.-
-Mr. Long Shen looks so tired today, and I offered him a backrub. He finally said okay for the first time! I was so thrilled and did my best to give him a good backrub. He even said thank you. Though, probably it was just him being too sleepy, so he said ridiculous things, hihi-
Long Shen felt warm all over. To have someone so supportive of him, someone, who actually helped him and did many things for him, yet he was so stupid that he ignored such a gem for so long.
Long Shen wanted to compensate Yunyu, of course, but he needed to take care of Aaron Xu first.
Long Shen was reading further and then noticed few sticky notes grouped into one. The sticky notes were coloured pink with a glitter and heart sticker in it, like a high school girl in love, and the first line that Long Shen read was:
-Mr. Long Shen is so handsome and amazing, I can\'t help to have a deeper feeling for him. I know it\'s just wishful thinking, but someday, I want to confess to him.-
\'Confess?\' Long Shen frowned. \'Is it what I think it is?\'
Just before Long Shen could read more, Yunyu suddenly rushed in and covered the pink sticky notes with his body. He looked nervous and afraid, "S—Sir, this is just random stuff I write. Please don\'t look at it!"
"Hm? Why not?" Long Shen raised his eyebrows. He had a mischievous grin on his face, "I want to know more, you know."
"I—it\'s just not worth your time, sir!" Yunyu said stubbornly.
"Come on, just let me check once," Long Shen insisted. He held Yunyu\'s shoulder and moved him to the side, so he could read more.
But Yunyu was dead serious about not showing anything, especially something so embarrassing like a love letter and sort of thing. Thus, Yunyu struggled hard to stop Long Shen from seeing it. It was like a top secret for him, because he never wanted to utter this feeling for Mr. Long Shen. He wanted to bury it deep in his heart forever.
"M—Mr. Long Shen, it\'s really not good! If you see it, you will puke all the food you just ate, I swear!"
"I won\'t, don\'t worry," Long Shen replied. Their struggle got harder until Yunyu accidentally pulled one sticky note from the wall, and the note fell right on Long Shen\'s foot. He picked it up and read it curiously:
-This ugly Bai Yunyu loves you, Mr. Long Shen.-
