Chapter 381: OG 1.22

Long Shen was in no mood to do anything right now. He kept thinking about his sin to Bai Yunyu and how to repent.

Long Shen was in his room, resting on his bed. He had been in this position for a while now as he continuously caressed the pink sticky note that he took from Yunyu's room silently. The words permeated deep inside his heart,

-This ugly Bai Yunyu loves you, Mr. Long Shen.-

'Do you really love me so much, Bai Yunyu? Even after so many horrible things I did to you?'

'Why? You have the right to hate me. No, in fact, you MUST hate me. Who would be stupidly in love after being treated like shit?

Long Shen stared at the pink note and still couldn't believe that Bai Yunyu would actually fall in love with him. Despite how horrible he treated him for so long. 

'Is this a set up? Did he prepare this kind of writing to make me guilty about myself because, by this, I finally realized how much of a jerk I was for him?' Long Shen thought for a while. He had considered the possibility, but then, he realized that Bai Yunyu wasn't the brightest tool in the shed.

Long Shen doubted that clumsy and slow Bai Yunyu could scheme crazy things only to make him guilty. If he wanted to do it, why didn't he do it back then? Why did he need to wait until he wasn't working for Long Shen anymore to execute his plan?

So in Long Shen's heart, all he saw was just a broken hearted young man, whose face was hideous, but he had such a sweet and sincere heart.

And it made Long Shen even guiltier than before. He felt like a piece of crap as the memory of him verbally abusing and harassing Yunyu came and invaded his head, from countless verbal abuse, especially calling him an ugly shit and telling him to die, and also overworked him to death because Yunyu was like a good servant for Long Shen. Long Shen used him to vent all his exhaustion and build-up anger every day.

"Damn it, Long Shen. Did you really do those terrible things just because Yunyu is ugly? Did you really bully him because he's not pleasant to look at?"

…

"Damn you, Long Shen. You are such a jerk…"

Long Shen put Yunyu's note in the drawer. He wanted to return to Yunyu's apartment and apologize for how much pain he caused. Although Yunyu would probably never forgive him, Long Shen would try his best to beg for Yunyu's forgiveness.

In fact, if Yunyu wanted him to be his boyfriend, then Long Shen would readily agree. He didn't think that he had a romantic interest with Bai Yunyu, but if that was what Yunyu wanted, Long Shen would say yes.

…

His heart was restless right now. He didn't know what caused it. But he felt that Yunyu would leave him and never return.

"I hope he can come to the set tomorrow. Yunyu is a dedicated person and a hard worker. He will definitely come. I will meet him in the movie set and talk about it," Long Shen said to reassure himself.

"He will definitely return… I just know it."

***

Long Shen came early to the movie set. He was waiting for Yunyu to come for work just like usual. Plaid skirt and jeans, his back hunched as he was holding the agenda book and frozen food for Long Shen, alongside a heavy backpack on his back.

Yunyu always hunched his back for some reason and always tried to hide his face by using a face mask and covered his forehead with his long bangs. But usually, with only one look, everyone could notice him immediately.

Long Shen saw that image many times before, and he always despised it for some reason. His first despise was the fact that his assistant was ugly. He did an excellent job as an assistant, but Long Shen just couldn't look at this guy for so long.

And they got stuck together for almost a year. Long Shen couldn't hide his contempt anymore. 

Long Shen waited for a while. He checked his watch from time to time, with his eyes mostly stuck at the front gate.

'Come on, Yunyu. I know you will come back at me. You always did. I'm your boss, right? The man who saved you from poverty and starvation. Now I'm telling you to return to me,' Long Shen said in his heart.

But after a while, there was no sign of Yunyu ever entering that gate, only random people who started coming.

Long Shen started to worry until he saw Aaron Xu with his motorcycle entered the movie set. He parked his bike and took off his helmet. Long Shen was surprised when he saw the heavy eyebags under Aaron Xu's eyes, indicating that he hadn't slept and had cried too much for the whole night.

Long decided to just ask Aaron Xu instead.

He came out of his car and swaggered towards Aaron, "You, where is Yunyu?"

Aaron turned his head after he heard someone familiar. When he saw Long Shen still with his smug smile, crossed arms, and raised chin. Still oblivious to how much damage he did to Yunyu.

"Don't be slow, I ask you, where is Yunyu? I have something private to talk about with him."

Aaron clenched his fist, and all the emotion that he had suppressed after the whole night of crying it out finally burst again.

Aaron lashed out at Long Shen and punched him in the face.

Long Shen staggered. He felt a sharp pain on his left cheek. He glared at Aaron and yelled, "What is this?! Do you want a fight again? All I do is asking you where Bai Yunyu is!"

"Or is it because you don't want Bai Yunyu to return to me, right?" he asked.

Aaron was already fed up against Long Shen, but this guy was the guy that Yunyu loved. He gnashed his teeth, trying to calm his fury.

He glared at the oblivious Long Shen and said, "If you want to know about him, go to his apartment. You'll know how much damage you did to him… to my beloved Bai Yunyu. You piece of shit."

Aaron Xu spat on the ground, showing that he was disgusted by Long Shen.

"I would have you killed if not because Yunyu loves you so much," Aaron said as he turned his head and walked away. His tears had been dried last night, there were no more tears to cry, but his heart was still bleeding.

'Yunyu…' 

***

"What's wrong with that guy, seriously," Long Shen winced as he touched the new bruise made by Aaron Xu. He wanted to confront that guy again, but his priority right now was not him.

He wanted to meet Bai Yunyu as soon as possible, and that guy said that Bai Yunyu was in his apartment.

'He said that I did so much damage to Yunyu. Did Yunyu tell that bastard about us?' Long Shen wondered.

He returned to his car and went to Yunyu's apartment.
