Chapter 32 - 2.11
Crack!
Ronghui's phone cracked as he clenched it. When he saw how Junze invaded Yunyu's mouth with his tongue, his mind went blank, he rushed to Junze and Yunyu, he separated them and pulled Junze's collar.
Junze was enjoying his time with Yunyu, thus, he couldn't react properly when Ronghui pulled his collar and punched him on his nose. Junze fell to the ground, he could feel blood gushed out of his nose.
Ronghui unleashed his fury, he kicked Junze's stomach a few times and Junze could only groan in pain. Ronghui was really fierce, he didn't let Junze recover from his fall. Ronghui couldn't think anymore, anger had consumed all his sanity at this point.
This might be his first date in his life, so Ronghui expected a sweet date. He had lived as an overachieving robot for seventeen years, this was the first time he opened up with someone.
It might have been a bit too late for him to realize, but he might've liked Yunyu since their first meeting. Because strangely, Yunyu was the only person that was not detestable, and he even tolerated him by living together in harmony for almost two year of their high school.
But now, when finally felt love, this bastard Zhou Junze coveted and snatched his first love easily.
Yunyu was standing silently as a spectator, he was worried that Ronghui might be too harsh on Junze, aside from that, he also worried whether Junze would take revenge on Ronghui after this.
[Pupa: You probably should do something here. They are both masters of this world, if one of them died before you, then you have to restart all over again.]
[Ehh… but Ronghui is so scary. Don't you see his face, it's like a demon unleashing all his anger. He might turn me into mashed potato for giving him the green hat.]
[Pupa: Then we have to restart this world again. Oh, the people also started to notice the voice in this alley. You know what will happen if they witness this scene.]
[Ugh, alright.]
Yunyu called Ronghui a few times until Ronghui noticed him, "Ronghui… Ronghui… don't hit him anymore."
Ronghui stopped kicking Junze for a moment and glared at Yunyu. Ronghui's glare sent chills down his spine. He gulped and said worriedly, "The people… people are going to see."
"You are still worrying about that?! Li Yunyu, you--!" Ronghui raised his hand, Yunyu clenched his fist immediately and closed his eyes tight. His shoulder hunched as he expected a painful slap to his face.
Ronghui's hand trembled, he was really mad at Yunyu. But when he saw that meek face who would sometimes stare at him with admiration, silently watched him from afar, and smiled bitterly like he couldn't do anything whenever Ronghui was flocked by his fans. Ronghui's anger deflated.
He stared down at Junze who was beaten up badly. Ronghui pulled Yunyu's hand instead, and decided to take him away from his alley. But Yunyu resisted.
"Ronghui, I can't leave him like this…"
Ronghui's gaze darkened, he stared at Yunyu once more. He didn't have anything to stay, but his eyes showed that he was obviously hurt, humiliated, and disappointed. Ronghui's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.
Yunyu's heartbeat skipped when he saw a drop of tear from Ronghui's eyes. He said nothing, but his eyes told everything that he felt right now.
Yunyu gulped, he felt guilty, because Ronghui was really a sweet guy. Maybe at some point, Yunyu was already feeling something for Ronghui. But he had a mission in this world, and this world was not his real world. He had someone he loved and admired in the real world, that was Han Ye.
"I will explain to you in our dorm," Yunyu released his hand from Ronghui and rushed to Junze's heavily bruised body. He pulled Junze up with all his strength and propped him. He supported Junze's body and walked to the other end of the alley. Ronghui stood in silence, he saw how Yunyu tried hard to support Junze.
Junze was an asshole, he had bullied Yunyu for so long, he also turned Yunyu into his slave, doing many things for him. He even made Yunyu cry once. But Yunyu chose to be with that detestable asshole instead of with him.
A dark thought swirled in Ronghui's mind. Maybe he had been playing the game wrong. Maybe he was too sweet, like a good guy who would end up with nothing but loneliness.
'So, this is your preference, Yunyu…'
***
Yunyu called a taxi and shoved Junze inside. He took Junze to the nearest hospital and got him treated immediately. Junze was unconscious, probably because he was in so much pain that he fainted. Yunyu was waiting outside while the doctor and nurses treated Junze's wounds.
[Pupa: Do you realize how expensive the treatment is? Junze is alright, he just fainted because of shock. You should've just taken care of him yourself.]
[Hehe, about that. I already took his wallet. Pupa, Junze is freaking rich! He's got my three months of my scholarship money in his wallet! That is not counting his credit cards from his father.]
[Pupa: So you are going to use his money for his treatment?]
[For my food too! Don't you think I deserve a reward? I've been eating instant noodles and plain buns for many days. I need my chicken or turkey!]
[Pupa:… You are a talented gold digger.]
While waiting for Junze to wake up, Yunyu went to the nearest restaurant outside the hospital and treated himself to a bucket of fried chicken with Junze's money. He returned after eating a bucket of fried chicken and bought some fruits and porridge for Junze, all with Junze's money of course.
[Pupa: You eat a bucket of fried chicken in one go, while Junze is in pain, what a remorseless man.]
[Hey, acting needs a lot of energy!]
Yunyu went to Junze's room and saw Junze had already woken up. He sat on the hospital bed, and stared intently at Yunyu who had just entered his room. The guy bought him a bag of fruit and a porridge.
"Ah, thank god, you are awake," Yunyu closed the door and walked to Junze. He put down the fruits and porridge and stood beside Junze's bed. He said, "Don't worry, the doctor said that you are alright, you fainted because of shock."
Junze said nothing, but he stared intently at Yunyu. He didn't dare to blink, afraid that Yunyu might return back to his date with Ronghui if he blinked once. Junze asked, "Why are you helping me? You have a date with Ronghui. You can just leave me alone in that alley and have fun with Ronghui."
"What are you saying! I will not leave you alone!" Yunyu pouted.
"But I'm just an asshole who bullied you, and I am the one that ruined your date with Ronghui. That guy… is in love with you, why don't you choose him instead of me?"
"Is it really an impulse or…" Junze left his words hanging. He stared at Yunyu with a deep, meaningful gaze. Truthfully, he had some expectations. Because he found that Yunyu was cute and interesting. Especially when he cried, it made Junze want to bully him even more.
When they had a deep kiss, Junze also felt that his heart was beating fast and he wanted more. He wanted more than just screwing around like usual, he wanted someone that he could put his heart on.
Maybe Yunyu was just the unlucky passer-by that caught his eyes, he was pretty young after all. But his young love said that he wanted Yunyu.
"… Junze, all I want is to be safe, to eat well, to have someone strong to protects me. And for so long, I already have a crush on someone. The one that can give all that to me… but he only sees me as a shrimp…"
"I—" Junze choked. Had he realized it sooner, he wouldn't do all those mean things to Yunyu. He opened his arm and pulled Yunyu to his embrace. Junze buried his face deep on Yunyu's neck. He was stupid, and he regretted it.
"I'm sorry I didn't realize it earlier, I love you too."
[Pupa: Ding! Zhou Junze's Fatemeter increases to 50%.]
