"As I said, I will not apologize to a piece of shit. If it's just compensation, then throw some money to him. I bet that thing is living in poverty right now."

"Han Ye!" Jia Jie's anger finally burst after she tried to hold it for so long. "You're hurting an innocent kid who idolized you! How could you be so ruthless!?"

"That trash thing deserves it. He deserves even worse than just a slap," Han Ye said. 

Jia Jie was too speechless to even scold at Han Ye. He didn't even budge, not showing a hint of remorse to an innocent young man like Bai Yunyu. 

Jia Jie thought that her anger was a wasted effort. So she asked, "At least tell me, why are you so ruthless at him? What kind of sin did he do to you?"

"…"

Han Ye went silent, and Jia Jie suspected even Han Ye didn't know what made him hate Bai Yunyu so much. 

"You're unbelievable, Han Ye! Do you know what? Bai Yunyu didn't press the charge, protest, or even ask for money for compensation! He just told me that you should stay healthy because you have a lot of shooting schedules!"

"How could you be so mean to a good kid like him!?"

"… shut up."

"What?"

"I SAID, SHUT UP!" Han Ye suddenly snapped, shocking Jia Jie in the process. 

Han Ye looked terrifyingly angry, a rare view that Jia Jie seldom saw. It was so rare. The last time she remembered this face was when Yunyu appeared in front of Han Ye for the first time. 

"Leave now, Deng Jia! I need some time alone!" Han Ye yelled at Jia Jie. His aura was so overbearingly terrifying that Jia Jie couldn't help to obey and left the room quietly. 

She closed the door, and her legs trembled out of fear. 

'Why is he so angry at Yunyu? What did he do wrong to incite such anger from a cold man like Han Ye?'

**

Han Ye was trying to calm down after he burst in front of Jia Jie. 

He rarely got angry, if ever. There was only one person who could ignite his anger, and that person was Bai Yunyu, that little piece of shit.

Honestly, Han Ye also didn't understand why he hated Yunyu so much, but once their eyes met for the first time, he knew that he would NEVER like Yunyu, not even as an acquaintance. 

He also disliked that Yunyu played in this series as Bai Shijue because he refused to let Bai Yunyu succeed despite his great talent.

Han Ye clenched his fist. He was restless, thinking that Bai Yunyu would be on the mainstream media, watched by millions of people.

Everyone would see the charming Bai Yunyu as Bai Shijue, who would fawn on him and constantly shower praises for that trash Bai Yunyu.



"No, I can't let that happen. I will do anything to stop that!" Han Ye gritted his teeth and rushed out of his room. He went to the director's room because he wanted to deal with Director Shen regarding Bai Yunyu's role as Bai Shijue.

Meanwhile, Yunyu finally arrived at his duplex. He unlocked the door and went inside his duplex. 

After a long day, he stretched his body and then treated his bruise immediately. His nosebleed had stopped, but the pain from the bruise was still apparent. 

Yunyu sighed. He cleaned himself and compressed the bruise again with a cold compress. He didn't know why Han Ye did that to him. In fact, he never understood why Han Ye Gege hated him so much. 

"Did I do something wrong in the past? Or is this part of Master Han Ye's anger towards me?" 

Yunyu knew that Master Han Ye disliked him after so many transmigrations. Although he didn't remember anything in the past, the sense of familiarity and guilt were similar. 

"But Pupa told me I can get my answer after I return back to my world. I am in my world now, yet, I still know nothing about what happened in the past. And Han Ye Gege's animosity towards me was just as bad as ever."

..

The more Yunyu tried to connect the dot, the more confused he got. 

He was lost in this circle, over and over, thinking about his unknown sin. 

Knowing he wouldn't understand anything, he decided to relax for today and forgot all his worries.

"It's okay, Yunyu. Things will get better, at least you will be able to see your first appearance on the big TV! You will have fans, like—real fans!" Yunyu cheered himself up. "Hehe, I bet if Pupa is here, it will find any way to ridicule me, classic Pupa, such an S!"



"Ah, I miss Pupa so much. That floating orange thing acts like an antagonist, but it actually cared for me. I think Pupa is the only… machine that cares for my wellbeing… sigh…." 

Yunyu was a bit hungry after a long schedule today. Since tomorrow was his free day from helping Han Ye Gege, he should use this to enjoy his time. 

Yunyu lived alone in this large duplex owned by his Dad. Since his Mom passed away, Dad had completely abandoned his old life and moved on, married a younger woman. The last thing Yunyu heard was that—his Dad already got him a baby step-sister. 

Yunyu wanted to come and visit his baby step-sister, but his Dad forbade him because Yunyu would be a sore spot for Dad's new wife. That woman didn't want any trace of Dad's previous life in their perfect marriage. 

So, in the end, Yunyu just accepted that he didn't have Dad anymore. The only thing his Dad did was leave Yunyu the duplex for him to live in and give him a small monthly allowance to survive.

With that, his Dad thought he was still being a good and responsible parent. 

Though, Yunyu didn't care much about it. His Mom passed away when he was entering high school, and his Dad married his new wife about a month later.

So Yunyu had been living in this duplex alone for 4 years already, "Ah, time surely passed," Yunyu said as he stared at the family picture hanging on the wall.
