Quick Transmigration: Homewrecker System! [BL]

Chapter 366 - OG 1.7

"Bai Yunyu, come here! Why are you so slow!?" Long Shen yelled at Yunyu, who had been standing in the same spot for almost six hours. It was already nine at night, and Yulin had been sitting around and played with her phone for the whole day before she left, while Yunyu was standing by in case Long Shen wanted something. 

Long Shen's favour towards Yulin became more and more obvious in Yunyu's eyes as he realized that Long Shen allowed Yulin to leave at six in the evening. While he was working until late at night and was bossed around ruthlessly.

Long Shen didn't even let him had at least an hour break. Which made Yunyu had to buy some bread from the minimarket for his lunch and dinner. He also had to eat it in less than five minutes, afraid that Long Shen would search for him and yell at him again if he was late.

Yunyu staggered as he went to Long Shen. Long Shen was sweating all over because he had just finished an intense scene. He was also very tired, and even though Mr. Guo already told him not to get overworked,  Long Shen demanded all his solo scenes to be cleared today. At least he would try to clear as much as he could, because he still had other things to do.

"Get me a new spare of the top in the costume room. I have been sweating a lot," Long Shen said. He was obviously tired, but he still pushed it, which made him very irritable and would lash out anytime soon.

Yunyu was a bit worried about Long Shen because he didn't seem to look good. Even if you had amazing stamina and endurance, there was a limit of everything, and it appeared that Long Shen was also at his limit right now. 

"M—Mr. Long, sir, why don't you end the shooting now? You look very tired…" Yunyu said. Long Shen glared at Yunyu. He was insulted as he felt that Yunyu was questioning his work ethics.

"WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO QUESTION ME! GO DO YOUR JOB!" Long Shen shouted on Yunyu's face. 

Yunyu's face paled. He nodded and hurriedly went to the costume room to get another top for Long Shen. He was so busy searching for a shirt with the same colour that Long Shen wore currently, and he didn't realize there was someone else in the costume room. 

Aaron Xu was surprised when Yunyu suddenly barged in while he was changing. Luckily, he hadn't taken off his pants yet. Yunyu was busy searching for a certain top, and his face looked ashen. 

"Found it!" Yunyu grabbed the correct shirt and hurried to Long Shen before he got scolded again by the demon.

But Yunyu was careless and slipped after he accidentally stepped on the scattered shirts on the ground, "Ah!"

"Careful!" Aaron caught Yunyu before he fell, and their eyes met. Again, that spark was created between them, and Yunyu turned his head immediately. Aaron put Yunyu down gently, and Yunyu got up.

"T—Thank you, Mr. Xu. I'm sorry that you've seen my face. I need to go now," Yunyu said as he bowed his head and left. 

'But I like seeing your face and your eyes though…' Aaron said in his heart. He stared at Yunyu's back. The man looked very frail and didn't seem to have any ambition in his heart. It made Aaron wanted to protect him instead.

Yunyu returned to Long Shen, who was so pissed right now. When he saw Yunyu, he snatched the top and yelled, "What took you so long?! All you need to do is to get a shirt!"

"P—Pardon me, Sir…" Yunyu retreated as Long Shen took off his current shirt and used a new one. And after that, he continued his dozens of shoot for his solo scene. 

"Tch, you wasted me a lot of time! Do your job properly!"

Mr. Guo glanced at Yunyu pitifully. Yunyu was obviously exhausted. He had been here since seven in the morning and was helping Long Shen on everything without rest and still got yelled at ruthlessly by Long Shen. 

But when Mr. Guo asked whether he was alright, Yunyu only said that he got used to it. 

Aaron had just finished changing. He had finished his scene for today but still waited for his Uncle Guo to finish today's schedule. He stood beside Uncle Guo and watched how Long Shen acted professionally and finished almost every shot in one or two takes. 

Mr. Guo glanced at Yunyu, who held a guardrail to stay still since his legs started trembling. 

"Aaron, go to Bai Yunyu and give him water or something. Look at him. He looks so tired," Uncle Guo said. 

"Sure, Uncle," Aaron approached Yunyu, who was dazed. He was pale, and his legs wobbled, but he still acted strong. 

[Pupa, has Long Shen always been this vicious to Yunyu?]

[Pupa: Kind of. Actually, he has softened a bit to you. Before your Guilt Tripping no Justu, he would curse at you for being slow or for making a mistake. He wouldn't even hesitate to throw stuff that you brought to him if you did something wrong.]

[Pupa: Long Shen is not exactly a saint. But when he is working, he can be this ruthless and mean. Only when working, though. Don't you see how often he visited you when you were in the hospital?]

[Yeah, I can see that. Still, to be abused like this basically every day, Bai Yunyu is so resilient.]

[Pupa: He's more of desperate than resilient. Who would hire you and your ugly face other than Long Shen anyway?]

[... is that an insult?]

[Pupa: I'm just stating the truth in this world.]

[... yeah, sadly true. Yunyu would desperately try to keep this job as long as he could eat and sleep safely.]

"Bai Yunyu," Aaron called. It took a while for Yunyu to respond. He turned his head and was surprised with Aaron Xu, who was standing so close to him.

Bai Yunyu turned his head immediately, so Aaron couldn't see his face, "M—Mr. Xu, what are you doing here?"

"You don't need to call me Mr. Xu. Just call me Aaron," Aaron Xu said. 

"B—but, Mr. Xu, you are the main lead of this movie. I saw your acting, and I believe you will be a great actor in the future!" Yunyu said as he encouraged Aaron but still dared not facing Aaron with his face.

"You really think so?" Aaron Xu asked. Actually, most people here said nothing about him. In fact, most of them mocked him from behind because he was still a newbie and already got the male lead role. So those people assumed that Aaron got it through connection.

So when he got a source of sincere encouragement from someone, Aaron couldn't help but feel warm inside his heart. 

"Yes! I've worked with Mr. Long Shen for almost a year, so I've met many actors, and I believe you have the capability to become one of the top actors!" Yunyu said. 

Aaron Xu stared at Yunyu, who still hid his face, "You don't need to hide your face to me, you know. I don't find you disgusting. Also, call me Aaron from now on. We are around the same age, after all."

"N—No, Mr. Xu, I mean, Aaron. I don't want you to lose your appetite later," Yunyu refused. Aaron understood that Yunyu must be very conscious about his face, but truly, Aaron didn't find it repugnant at all.

He gently pinched Yunyu's chin and turned Yunyu's head. Hence, their eyes met again, "See, you don't look repugnant at all," Aaron said with a kind smile. 

Yunyu was stunned when someone actually smiled at him so kindly. There was no trace of disdain or disgust in Aaron's face. And when their eyes met, that spark between them appeared again for the third time. 

"You… don't find me disgusting?"

"It's just a scar. Why would I find a scar disgusting?" Aaron said.

"I… I don't know… people usually got scared of me or got disgusted…"

"Then they are the one at fault," Aaron said. "You look fine to me. So let's be… friends, okay? Don't push me away."

"A—Aaron, you will be a star in the future, I don't—"

"What is happening here?" 

Aaron and Yunyu turned their heads at the same time when someone suddenly barged in. Long Shen stared at Yunyu and Aaron with disdain on his face, "What are you two doing?"
