Yunyu watched the new movie attentively. He really liked the story. Since it had everything he wanted, the love between two childhood sweethearts until their reunion and wedding day.
They were also blessed with many children. It was a funny and lighthearted rom-com, really. It was all that Yunyu wanted.
[I definitely need to visit this world called Rent A Boyfriend if I reunited with Pupa. I want to see Ying Jie and Meng Bao up close!]
Meanwhile, Huang Jinren was also watching, but he wasn’t watching the TV. He was watching Bai Yunyu, who looked so happy and calm.
He didn’t know why does Han Ye hate this kid so much. He was obviously a very simple and kindhearted young man.
In fact, the more Huang Jinren looked at Bai Yunyu, the more pleasing he became in his eyes.
After the movie ended, Yunyu sighed in relief and giggled, "Jinren-Ge, did you see how happy they are? Ah, if only I have someone that can love me unconditionally," Yunyu said. He didn’t really have any meaning when saying that. At least, it was just what he wished for deep inside his heart.
He wished to be loved. He might be a hoe in transmigration worlds, but hey, he was still a human with heart!
"You want to be loved?" Huang Jinren asked.
"Mhm! I mean, that’s what everyone wants, right? To be loved by someone, spend their life with someone they love like a pair of lovebirds in their nest. It’s simple," Yunyu replied.
"And that person, does it need to be Han Ye?" Huang Jinren asked again.
Bai Yunyu was surprised, his face paled in an instant, and he shook his head vehemently, "J—Jinren-Ge, please don’t say anything crazy. I’m not in love with Han Ye Gege or anything. I’m just his biggest fan!"
"You don’t need to hide it from me. I can see it in your eyes. Han Ye is very important for you," Huang Jinren stated the truth. He wasn’t an idiot who couldn’t differentiate the look of admiration and love.
Bai Yunyu loved Han Ye, maybe a bit too much. But it was definitely sincere.
It made Huang Jinren grieve in his heart for some reason.
Bai Yunyu lowered his head. Since he had been caught red-handed, he was embarrassed. He knew that his love for Han Ye was obvious, but when getting called out like this...
"Is it that obvious?" Yunyu asked.
"Well, kind of. But don’t feel bad about it, Han Ye should be grateful to be loved by someone like you," Huang Jinren said. "But you know...."
"I know, Jinren-Ge. You don’t need to say it," Yunyu smiled bitterly.
Huang Jinren didn’t want to make Yunyu sad, but at the same time, Yunyu should know that he was basically chasing cloud at this point. Because Han Ye would never love him back.
Han Ye couldn’t even tolerate Bai Yunyu’s presence, let alone loving him.
"Gege, I think I need time alone. Can you leave now?" Bai Yunyu said. He wanted to wash away this sadness in his heart and then return to his old self by serving Han Ye again.
"I will leave, but I want to tell you something," Huang Jinren suddenly opened his arm and hugged Yunyu by his shoulder and waist with each hand. He pulled Yunyu closer.
Yunyu looked up subsequently, and when their eyes met, Huang Jinren lightly pecked Yunyu’s lips with his.
Yunyu froze on the spot. He didn’t hate it. In fact, he liked it a lot.
It was short yet warm and meaningful. Because Yunyu had never been treated in a gentle manner in this world.
After they finished the short kiss, Huang Jinren said, "You may not like it, Yunyu. And I will not say that I’ve fallen in love with you because it’s too fast, right?"
Yunyu nodded weakly.
"That’s why this is just me trying to give you an option. Remember, I’m not someone who likes to pull out from my words. When I go int, I go in deep, and also come deep...."
[Wait, why does that sound so sexual?]
"That’s why, if you’re willing, do come to me, and we might be able to start this relationship," Huang Jinren said. He made his intention clear as day, not wanting to stress Yunyu.
Yunyu was swept away by such gentleness. He was used to being treated so roughly by Han Ye, so Huang Jinren’s warm embrace dazed him.
In the end, Yunyu said nothing and went to the front door to see Jinren-Ge leaving. His heart was beating out loud, but he didn’t dare to say anything because he knew...
"If I say something, then I will probably ask him to be my boyfriend, aish...." Yunyu ruffled his hair frustratedly as he returned to the living room.
He was touch-starved, love-starved, dick-starved, and he wanted to be embraced with love. But he knew that he couldn’t get it from someone that he truly loved.
Yunyu stared at the framed picture of Han Ye in the living room. It was a picture Yunyu took with his fancam when Han Ye accepted the award of actor of the year, which happened last year.
"I think he will accept another actor of the year award again today, so I have to prepare some money to buy a ticket for that event, at least to support Han Ye Gege," Yunyu sighed. He was constantly broke because of this, but at least he wasn’t in debt.
But he wouldn’t lie that he got tempted by Huang Jinren Gege. Because he was so sweet and warm, something that Yunyu needed the most in his loneliness.
Yunyu shook his head vehemently again. He had to make sure that he would never see another person other than Han Ye Gege in this lifetime!
"It’s fine if you end up alone in this lifetime, Yunyu. Don’t you remember your own vow to be loyal to Han Ye Gege in this lifetime, no matter what! Once Han Ye, always Han Ye!"
