[Pupa: Ding! Zhou Junze’s Fatemeter increases to 50%.]

[Pupa: What are you doing here? You are not making any sense. Don’t you remember that original Li Yunyu like Ronghui? We might get booted out of this world if you are OOC, you know.]

[Yep, I remember. But, did Li Yunyu ever confess to Ronghui about his love? Never, right? So, Li Yunyu’s love for Ronghui would never get noticed. I see that plot hole. Besides, I didn’t confess to Junze directly. I just said that I love someone, but he looked down on me, it can refer to either Junze or Ronghui. It’s just Junze that thinks I am referring to him.]

[That’s why the OOC alarm hasn’t been triggered yet.]

[Pupa:… true. We would’ve been booted out immediately if the master of this world noticed that something is wrong with you. Still though, why would you confess in front of Junze?]

[Tsk… tsk… tsk… system, this is how you complete this world. You said to me before that in this world, I just have to love, right? So I can complete this world with just romance!]

[Pupa: That is, if you can do it right. Why are you confessing to him like that? What about Ronghui?]

[You see, in order to complete this world, I need to love one of them. Although I’m more interested in Ronghui, I can’t deny that Junze is a force to be reckoned with. If I go with Ronghui, Junze will never stop disturbing us. Junze���s family is really powerful, what would a rising actor do against such a powerful family? Junze can end Ronghui’s career instantly!]

[So, I’ve decided to just focus on getting Junze’s Fatemeter to 100%. If I stay with Junze, there will be nothing to worry about, no food shortage, no bullying, and no need for drama between me, Junze, and Ronghui.]

[But if I stay with Ronghui… didn’t you see what happened in the café? Ronghui’s fans flocked when they saw their male god! Ronghui is just a small actor, but give him two or three years, then he might become a film emperor like Han Ye.]

Yunyu felt somewhat emotional when thinking about it. He was also considered as a small actor, and the struggle of a small actor was real. He saw that Ronghui had the potential to be a star. If he could get Junze away from Ronghui, then Ronghui’s path as a film emperor would be smooth sailing.

[Pupa: So, you are going to sacrifice yourself to Junze, so Ronghui can live a better life as an actor?]

[Yep! I feel a bit sad though, since I like him a lot more than Junze, but you see, if Junze is not around, Ronghui would eventually become a popular actor. Junze is his jinx.]

[System, I know that Ronghui works hard every day, he is top of the class, active in club activities, and a talented young actor. I don’t want all that got wasted because of me. So I go with Junze. Ronghui will eventually find another man or woman and settle down with that person, right?]

Pupa system went silent. It knew that Yunyu had a good intention. Although, Yunyu was dense and a bit… well, very shameless, he always had a good intention. Just like what he did to the orphanage in the first world, and now, he wanted to let go of Ronghui after he saw how Ronghui was flocked by countless fans in the café. He wanted that promising, young man to go far and beyond, to be a great actor he was supposed to.

However, Yunyu forgot that Ronghui’s Fatemeter was already 60%, it was impossible for Ronghui to let go easily, especially considering that Ronghui was just a green boy of the age of seventeen. Yunyu was Ronghui’s first love too…

Pupa knew that it wouldn’t be easy, but Yunyu already dropped the ‘confession’ for Junze. So all it could do was just watch the drama from afar.

Yunyu returned back at night to the dorm. The dorm was very empty today, because it was weekend. Almost all the remaining students inside the dorm were returning to their families.

It was pretty dark, so Yunyu walked carefully until he reached his room. He pressed the room code and the door was unlocked. When Yunyu opened the door, it was all dark, but there seemed to be someone staring at him intensely.

Yunyu gulped and he turned the lights on. He jolted when he saw Ronghui staring at him intensely from his bed.

Ronghui sat on Yunyu’s bed, his eyes didn’t leave the door. When Yunyu finally returned back, the first thing he saw was Yunyu who was surprised by his presence.

“Close the door,” Ronghui ordered with a firm, cold voice.

Yunyu gulped and he closed the door. He stood near the door nervously, somehow, Ronghui’s stare felt different. His deep stare was so intense that it felt like Yunyu had been stripped naked.

“R—Ronghui, I’m sorry that I have to leave you… you see, Junze is—”

“Don’t mention that bastard’s name,” Ronghui cut Yunyu’s words short, “Tell me, why did you choose him instead of me? Did I lack something?”

“No, not at all!” Yunyu said sincerely. Ronghui didn’t lack anything, in fact, he could be the perfect lover for his partner. But in this world, he was not the only master of the world, and he was far weaker than Junze.

“Then why did you leave me?” Ronghui’s voice started shaking, the tears on his eyes welled up, “You are the first one that I like, Yunyu. You are the first person that I take on a date, you hurt me when you kissed that bastard.”

Yuntu was forcibly shaken too when he saw Ronghui’s tears again. The aloof male god who stood at the peak, was now crying for him. Yunyu felt guilty and he almost broke his acting.

“I… I didn’t mean to kiss him…”

“Did he force you?” Ronghui asked so suddenly. He stood from the bed and walked towards Yunyu. Ronghui hugged Yunyu gently and asked again, “Tell me, I just need you to tell me that he forced you.”

“What will you do then?” Yunyu asked cautiously. He didn’t want Ronghui to act by impulse, not against Junze.

“I will… I will fight him, I will make sure that he regrets it,” Ronghui said firmly. He tightened his hug on Yunyu.

“Then, he does not force me. I kissed him, I am the one that kissed him, Ronghui,” Yunyu said clearly. He pushed Ronghui’s chest gently to separate himself.

Of course, Ronghui knew that Yunyu was not speaking the truth. But he still didn’t understand why would Yunyu do that, what was his true intention, “Why?”

“Ronghui, when I saw your fans. I know that you are well loved by them. You have the capacity to be a star. Junze will only be your stumbling block forever. He is just too powerful,” Yunyu held Ronghui’s cheek and smiled, “Ronghui, I hope that you can be a great actor, or someone that holds great importance. You’ll find someone that deserves your love, but that’s not me.”

A drop of tear from Yunyu’s eyes stunned Ronghui, then Yunyu kissed the edge of Ronghui’s lips;

“I will change my room tomorrow,” Yunyu said. He turned his back, he left the room again to ease his mind first. Because Ronghui’s tears were really fatal for him.

Ronghui was left alone in the room. Yunyu never said anything direct about his feelings, but he could grasp Yunyu’s intention.

Yunyu wanted to protect him from Junze, so he sacrificed himself for him. Maybe because Yunyu saw how popular he was, so he could come up with that. Maybe Yunyu thought that he was an unreachable male god.

It was also that bastard Zhou Junze who must’ve threatened Yunyu and put some words into his mind to influence his decision.

Yunyu just wanted to protect him and his career, he wanted to protect his future from Junze. But Ronghui didn’t want that, in fact, he hated it. Because it showed that Ronghui was just a small weakling compared to Junze.

“So it’s all come down to power… If I have enough power, I can kill that bastard Junze and take Yunyu back…”

Ronghui took out his phone, he stared at one number that he would never call even if he was thrown in hell. But for the first time, he pressed the dial button for a contact called, ‘Bastard Father.’
