Chapter 782 - 15.1 Cultivating My Cute Disciple

Bai Yunyu opened his eyes slowly. His body was in total pain from top to bottom. Of course, because he could still feel the pain when his body hit the dark pond. 

It felt like his body was crushed from behind, and he didn't die instantly, really. He was still conscious for a whole minute and saw how Han Ye Gege looked at him from the third floor as he floated while losing blood continuously. 

He knew that his blood must've turned the water in the pond into dark red at that point. He regretted how things ended because he wished that he could be stronger, just a bit stronger to pass through the day, hoping that Han Ye Gege would open his heart, or at least would leave him alone. 

But when things had been ruined without a chance or fixing, he knew it was time to leave the world. Whether he died for real or not, it didn't matter. He just wanted to escape the harsh life that destroyed him. 

But there was one thing that bugged him when he almost lost his consciousness and died.

He saw Han Ye Gege with bloody hands and blood staining his white shirt as if he had received multiple knife injuries suddenly looked down from the third floor and climbed the railing as if he wanted to jump with him as well.

But it was too late because Yunyu lost his life when that moment happened, continuously questioning Han Ye Gege's behavior. 

He woke up and found himself sitting under a plum blossom tree. He looked around confusedly because he felt this place was really familiar, but his mind couldn't find the memory of this place. 

"Where am I? Why am I in this courtyard?" Yunyu asked himself. It was a courtyard with a plum blossom tree in the middle. It wasn't big but spacious enough for him to plant other flowers around the courtyard. 

He tried to get up from his spot, but his body didn't want to work with him for some reason. He was stuck sitting in the same position for a while until he heard something, like a machine rattling before a portal appeared in front of him, and POP!

"Miss me?"

…

…

…

"PUPA!" Yunyu became excited instantly when his cutie system finally popped in after a world without the floating orange thing. He wanted to get up and hug Pupa, but he was still stuck in this position. 

"Pupa, come here! I want to hug you!" 

"Stay in that place. You haven't showered for years in that body," Pupa said as it distanced itself from Yunyu. 

"Aish, we've been separated for literally one world, and that's how you respond? You should be hugging me instead!" Yunyu protested. "Come here, let me hug your rusty metal that smells like medieval torture tool!"

"As if I'm going to let you hug my completely sterile body! You literally hadn't showered for years in this body. Even the bacteria is cleaner than you!" Pupa yelled back at Yunyu. But Yunyu only responded with a hearty laugh. 

He felt relieved that he had someone to talk to, who understood him even though Pupa rarely gave him a sweet compliment or babied him. But at least, Pupa was his real friend, his real partner-in-crime. 

Yunyu's laugh slowly dissipated and died down. He smiled thinly while staring at Pupoa and said, "I'm glad that you're here, Pupa. I miss you a lot."

Yunyu kept staring at Pupa, who also went silent. He was feeling very vulnerable right now. He kept himself strong when he was all alone in that world because he knew he had nobody else to rely on other than himself.

But when Pupa was here, he felt very vulnerable. He wanted to cry and tell Pupa about everything. He wanted to cry in front of Pupa, so he could be comforted because everything was painful for him right now. 

But he had no one to talk to in that world. Of course, he could talk with other male leads, but he felt that they weren't truly sincere because deep down, they still wanted Yunyu to be theirs. 

He could only feel safe and vulnerable in front of Pupa. 

"Pupa…" Yunyu called its name. His eyes started pooling with tears, and he was so close to crying everything out. 

Pupa stared at Yunyu for a while and then slowly approached Yunyu and snuggled on Yunyu's lap. Yunyu could feel the cold metal touch his skin, yet the cold metal felt warmer than any touch that he ever felt in his life.

"I know everything, I've watched everything, but I can't come to that world because it is forbidden for me," Pupa said. "But it's fine now. I am here, at last. Just tell me your pain, Bai Yunyu. I am created to be with you as your partner."

Yunyu's body trembled all over. He sobbed before the tears finally streamed down on his cheek and started dropping on Pupa's body. 

"Pupa…"

"Yes, I'm here."

"Pupa, what did I do wrong?" Yunyu asked with his shaky voice. "Han Ye Gege keeps on saying that it's all my fault, I am the one who created the game, and I should be the one who plays in it."

"I don't remember anything. No matter how much I try to remember, there is nothing in my mind," Yunyu said. "I got frustrated, and his treatment only worsened…."

"Pupa… am I wrong just for existing?"

"You're not wrong for existing. You deserve a life, Yunyu," Pupa replied. "But you did something in the past, but I can't talk about it because I have a promise to your son."

"My son?"

"Yes, he has been watching over his parents, but I still can't tell you who he is…." Pupa said. "Yunyu, my memory has been restored right after we left world 14, but I got separated from you. I remember everything, and I can't go to the real world because of sudden interruption."

"I can't say anything for now, but what I want to say is… everything is a lot more complicated than it looks like. Your history with God Han Ye is difficult and toxic. That's why everything became messed up. It's your fault at first, but you did the necessary thing."

"Trust me, this is your chance of redemption."
