Chapter 723 - RW 1.18

Bai Yunyu had nothing to do the next day because of the full shooting yesterday, and he couldn't go to the movie set as well because it was closed today.

Hence, he had decided to take that usual task of taking care of the elderly, especially Grandma Mu, his neighbor. 

Grandma Mu lived with Auntie and Uncle Mu, his neighbor since he was a baby. His late mother said that Grandma Mu was the one taking care of Yunyu when he was a kid because Mom was too depressed and had baby blues. 

Maybe that was the reason why he became so close with Grandma Mu.

Yunyu often took care of her because Uncle and Aunty Mu were busy working. 

Because he lived in a rich neighborhood, Grandma Mu understood his struggle and often gave him pocket money.

**

"Good morning, Grandma Mu!" Yunyu greeted happily as he arrived at the Mu family's house. 

Grandma Mu was dozing off in her rocking chair on the terrace when Yunyu came.

She woke up and smiled at Yunyu, "Ah, good morning, Yunyu. Do you have nothing to do today?" 

"Nope! I finished all the scenes yesterday, and I have a free time today! Let me take care of you, Grandma, so I can get pocket money!" Yunyu said shamelessly, followed by Grandma Mu's laugh.

"Okay, okay, you can take care of me today. I'll give you pocket money. But the house has been cleaned, and the dogs have been walked today," Grandma Mu said.

"Eh? Really? I thought I'm the only one Neon likes," Yunyu pouted cutely. He referred to the family dog named Neon. 

"Well, he is. But my Xiao Rong is here, and he is the one walking out Neon today," Grandma Mu said. She turned around and called her grandson, "Xiao Rong! Come here. Do you still remember Bai Yunyu, our neighbor?"

The man named Xiao Rong came out of the house, and Yunyu was surprised because that face wasn't unfamiliar to him at all.

Because that face… looked exactly like Yang Ronghui from World 2.

[Now that I remember it again, Huang Jinren's face… looks like Huang Shu from World 12, my beloved Emperor…]

[Ah, so that's why I had this attraction towards him the moment we met. Because he does look like someone I know, the man I spent 3 lifetimes within World 12…]

[From Huang Shu, and now Yang Ronghui… what is this?]

Xiao Rong stared at Yunyu. He was handsome, of course, since he had Yang Ronghui's face. And he was probably around Yunyu's real age, basically the more mature version of Yang Ronghui.

"Come, greet Bai Yunyu, you might not remember him, but he has been our neighbor since you were born! You two were born in the same month!" Grandma Mu said. She turned her head at Yunyu and added, "This is Mu Ronghui, my grandson. He should be your childhood friend, but we believed he'd do better in America. That's why he went abroad at the age of 3. He is living with my second son in the U.S."

Yunyu and Ronghui shook their hands, and Yunyu showed a meek smile, "M—My name is Bai Yunyu. Nice to meet you."

Yunyu tried to pull his hand, but Mu Ronghui didn't let go. Ronghui stared at Yunyu dead on his eyes, and his lips perked up, "Grandma, you said that you want a daughter-in-law, right? How about Son-in-law?"

"WHAT?!" Yunyu was shocked by his boldness. It was really like Yang Ronghui in World 2, where he had a viper tongue and was generally so blunt. 

Yunyu looked at Grandma Mu, thinking that Grandma Mu would get angry at Ronghui for saying that. Since Grandma Mu was old, she came from years ago, where homosexuality was deemed disgusting.

But contrary to his belief, Grandma Mu only laughed and nodded, "Well, if Yunyu is willing to be my son-in-law, then why not? He is a great cook and a good caretaker! He is also good with the dogs!"

"G—Grandma?" 

"What? Why are you so shocked?" Grandma Mu smiled. "You always told me that you are in love with Han Ye, that movie star. Of course, I already know your orientation. My grandson here has come out as bisexual before. He said he didn't care whether it was a man or woman, as long as he liked them. He has lived in the U.S for so long, so he is more open about this thing."

Mu Ronghui still gripped Bai Yunyu's hand tightly, with a grin that turned into a smirk on his face. He said, "So, your name is Bai Yunyu, right? I think I have love at first sight with you. Would you mind accepting me as your future husband?"

Yunyu was shocked as he stared at Ronghui. He couldn't determine whether Ronghui was joking or being serious here. But he also couldn't reject because Grandma Mu was here.

[Besides, he has the face of Yang Ronghui. How am I supposed to reject someone whose heart had been hurt by me before?]

Thus, Yunyu took the middle ground, "I—I haven't thought about it. We just met, you know…."

"I know, but when I saw you, I felt like we had a strong connection. Maybe some sort of past life experience together?" Mu Ronghui said.

[Well, duh, Mr. Mafia. I still remember everything, including your cock shape and size, hehe.]

"I—It's better to take it slow," Yunyu said, trying to avoid Ronghui.

"Yeah, that's a better idea. Xiao Rong, you're too blunt! Of course, Yunyu would get scared of you!" Grandma Mu scolded. "Just take it slow and ask him on a date first, be more courteous!"

"Yes, Grandma," Mu Ronghui said. He looked at Yunyu and said, "How about we go on a date?" 

"D—Date?" 

"Ah, that's right! Yunyu has no activity today! Go take him on a date, so you two can cultivate feelings for each other first!" Grandma Mu agreed.

"B—But, Grandma, I'm here to take care of you—"

"Aish, I'm fine. Don't worry about pocket money, I will give you later on! Now your job is not to take care of me but to babysit Mu Ronghui. Besides, he just returned back two days ago, he doesn't know much about the environment. Go and help him to look around on short date, okay?"

Yunyu was unwilling, not because he hated Mu Ronghui, but because he felt guilty whenever he remembered how the second world ended. 

It ended badly, despite the Fatemeter of both Zhou Junze and Yang Ronghui and the Breakmeter all reaching 100%. 

But in the end, he didn't have much choice. He already told Grandma Mu that he didn't have any plan today, and hey… pocket money was still pocket money!

"Alright, I can help him to look around," Yunyu agreed.

Thus, Bai Yunyu and Mu Ronghui excused themselves to Grandma Mu, and they went out in Ronghui's car. 

They didn't say much, mostly because Yunyu was nervous about the whole ordeal of staying with his one of long-lost lovers. 

Yunyu fidgeted uncomfortably in the car while Ronghui was driving slowly, and Yunyu felt that it was intentional. 

"U—Um… Ronghui, where do you want to go today?"

"Where do I want to go?" Mu Ronghui looked at Yunyu and smiled.. "I should be the one asking. Where did you go, Li Yunyu?"
