Chapter 391: OG 1.32: I Love You, My Beauty

Aaron Xu standing in front of them, with his longing gaze staring at Yunyu, "Bai Yunyu, I've finally found you…"

Long Shen's gaze darkened immediately. He stood in front of Yunyu and shielded him from Aaron Xu's gaze. "What are you doing here? Yunyu doesn't want to see you!" Long Shen said.

Aaron chuckled mirthlessly, "You are just a bastard whom Yunyu fell in love with. Just because you're lucky doesn't mean that your luck will last forever."

Long Shen clenched his fist. He was ready to lunge at Aaron Xu and punch him. But he knew that Yunyu wouldn't like it. 

"I want to talk with Yunyu. I missed him so much," Aaron Xu said. 

"You, how dare you—"

"It's okay, Long Shen, you can wait here. I need to talk with Aaron," Yunyu snipped Long Shen. Long Shen darted his eyes at Yunyu with his pleading eyes, begging Yunyu not to leave him. 

Yunyu smiled and patted his shoulder, "You can wait here, don't worry."

Long Shen gripped Yunyu's waist, but after a while, he released it. He watched as Yunyu walked to Aaron's side. 

"Long time no see, Boss," Yunyu greeted formally. But before Aaron could say anything, Yunyu suggested, "We should go somewhere quieter if you want to talk about something."

"Okay."

…

Aaron and Yunyu walked far from Long Shen. They were hidden behind a coconut tree with bushes around, so Long Shen couldn't see them.

Aaron stared at Yunyu, then he stretched his hand, about to hug Yunyu. But Yunyu pushed Aaron's chest away and shook his head, "Boss, it's not appropriate."

"Not appropriate? Why? You never reject me before… is it because of Long Shen?" Aaron Xu asked. "Yunyu, he's an asshole. He abused you for so long, and I guarantee that he'll leave you in the end! I will never leave you, and I will never hurt you!"

"I know that you'll never hurt me, Aaron," Yunyu finally called Aaron Xu with his name instead of the boss. "And I know that you've been good to me. But love is a different matter. It's blind and sometimes illogical. I've fallen in love with Long Shen long before I meet you, and that love still lingers within my heart even after an arduous journey."

"So… in the end, that bastard still win, huh?" Aaron Xu asked. 

"It's not about winning or losing. It's simply because I've fallen in love with him, and he has changed,"

"There's no guarantee that he'll love you forever," Aaron said, wanting to plant a seed of doubt in Yunyu's heart. He still couldn't accept that his love lost against that bastard's cheap love.

"There's no guarantee in anything, Aaron. But I'd rather take the chance when I can," Yunyu turned his back as he was ready to walk away. "Aaron, you're a good person. I don't deserve you. You should find another man or woman."

…

"Yunyu, if I can't have you in this life, then I will make sure that I can have you in another life. Mark my word."

Yunyu halted his step, "If that ever happened, then I will make sure that you will see the best of me, Aaron."

Yunyu finally walked away and returned to Long Shen. Long Shen was sitting on the sandy beach. There was a cloud of gloom above his head as if he had been abandoned forever. He punched the sand a few times to release his pain, but it kept piling up.

Yunyu approached him and rubbed his head, "Why are you so gloomy? Did something happen when I was away?" 

Long Shen looked up and jolted when he saw Yunyu smiling at him, "Y—You're still here?!"

"Of course, I am. What are you talking about?" Yunyu laughed at Long Shen's surprised expression. 

"B—But I thought you would…"

"Leave you?" Yunyu raised his brow. Long Shen nodded helplessly. He really thought that Yunyu would leave him for Aaron Xu, knowing their past. Yunyu chuckled and answered, "No, silly. I love you, not him. I never date him officially."

"You really… love me? Even more than Aaron Xu?"

"Mhm," Yunyu nodded lightly. "I told you in my note that Bai Yunyu loves Mr. Long Shen forever, right? That feeling never changes, you know—"

Yunyu was surprised when Long Shen suddenly hugged him and planted a deep kiss on his lips. It was a passionate kiss where Long Shen combed Yunyu's hair with his fingers. He planted his kiss deeper as if not wanting to let go.

After Long Shen was satisfied, he confessed:

"I… I'm sorry for everything, Bai Yunyu. I will never hurt you anymore! I promise that I will make you happy forever!" Long Shen promised deep inside his heart. The guilt still haunted him as his love for Bai Yunyu kept growing every day. 

"Bai Yunyu, Long Shen also loves you… forever."

[Pupa: Ding! Long Shen's Fatemeter to Bai Yunyu increases to 85%.]

[Pupa: Ding! Long Shen's Fatemeter to Bai Yunyu increases to 100%. This is the bonus Fatemeter for unlocking the hidden plot. Congratulations, host!]

[Pupa: The world has been completed! Congratulations, host!]

[It's time to say goodbye, huh… I learned a lot from Long Shen. What's our next world?]

[Pupa: Ancient China, with Huang Shu. It's a complicated world, so it'll take a while to finish.]

[Huang Shu, huh… I wonder how could he suddenly jumped into Long Zhen's world.]

"You don't need that promise to make me happy, Long Shen. Because you already make my life happy, and I believe it will last forever. Because I will leave now…"

"What do you mean?" Long Shen asked nervously. He had a bad feeling after this.

Yunyu smiled and closed his eyes. 

Slowly, his body was engulfed in light, and the scar on Yunyu's face disappeared. Like a fairytale, Long Shen finally saw how beautiful Yunyu really was without his scars.

But it didn't matter for Long Shen because all he cared about now was Yunyu's sincere heart. Beauty can deteriorate, but your sincere heart lasted forever in people's memory. 

"Yunyu, what's happening?! What happened with your body—"

Long Shen got scared as he felt that Yunyu's body became lighter in his embrace. Yunyu smiled and kissed Long Shen's lips gently, "That is our last kiss in this world, Long Shen. I need to go now. Please take care of the orphans. They need you. I will be watching, and I want to reunite with you again later."

"No, you can't! I finally have you, and you'll leave me so suddenly?!" Long Shen desperately hugged Yunyu, whose body started dissipating and turning into hundreds of white butterflies. 

"We are always together in every world. You will always find me. I know it. So, bear with it for a moment, okay? Because we will reunite in the next world, I promise."

"Bai Yunyu loves you, Long Shen… forever…"

Long Shen didn't know what truly happened. But the last thing he saw was Yunyu's face slowly disappearing and turning into white butterflies. The butterflies flew up high before disappeared, leaving Long Shen alone.

"Yunyu… why…"

The sand was dampened by the tears of the man who had lost the treasure he just found after years of searching.
