Chapter 29 - 2.8
It was Saturday morning. Yunyu woke up a bit late, he stretched his body on the bed, rubbed his eyes and checked on Ronghui\'s bed. Ronghui was not on his bed. Yunyu looked around the room and his eyes darted just at the right time when Ronghui opened the bathroom door.
Yunyu was in for the feast when Ronghui opened the bathroom door with only a towel on his waist. He had just finished bath, a few drops of warm water dripped from his hair all the way to his six packs, and absorbed by the towel that covered the golden trail to the treasure.
[Ah… good morning, beautiful six packs…]
Ronghui blushed when Yunyu stared at him lecherously. Yunyu didn\'t even try to hide it, his eyes leered at his six packs and trailed down to that part. Ronghui turned his body immediately, he nervously said, "Y—You should take a bath too, we are going on a date—I mean, going to the bookstore today."
"A—Ah… yes," Yunyu snapped out of his daze. Ronghui\'s body was so seductive that he just couldn\'t help to stare. Yunyu took a warm bath and left the bathroom with only a towel, just like Ronghui. He wanted to see Ronghui\'s reaction, but when he opened the bathroom door, Ronghui was nowhere to be found.
[Pupa: Ronghui is outside.]
[Damn! I want him to see my body too!]
[Pupa: This is your first date, not your first one night stand.]
Yunyu picked his best clothes. Although Li Yunyu didn\'t have many good clothes, but with some mix and match, he turned out to be decent.
Ronghui was already waiting outside. Ronghui wore a black cap, with black mask to cover half of his face, and he wore a white hoodie and jeans. Although it was very casual, it didn\'t hide Ronghui\'s amazing body and profile at all.
Ronghui felt guilty when he saw Yunyu tried his best to look decent for him. He knew that Yunyu didn\'t have many clothes outside of his school uniform. Ronghui awkwardly held Yunyu\'s hand and rubbed it gently, "I—I\'m sorry I can\'t dress better. I have to avoid fans, I… I don\'t want them to see us… you know."
Honestly, Yunyu felt a bit sad in his heart. Because he tried his best to look decent for his first date, but Ronghui was stuck with his identity as a rising star.
[Ah, when I return back to my real world, I want to have a boyfriend that is not a movie star. It will be annoying if we can\'t go on a date like a normal couple.]
[Pupa:… What if your boyfriend is Han Ye? He is the movie emperor.]
[W—Well, I can make some exception if it\'s him. I am HanYesexual after all, tee-hee.]
"We are just going to the bookstore, it\'s alright," Yunyu smiled.
Ronghui stared at Yunyu who didn\'t seem to mind about his identity that needed to be kept hidden. There was still some guilt in his heart, but Ronghui nodded and they walked to leave the dorm gate straight to the bus station.
This world was very similar to Yunyu\'s world, where relationships between two men were accepted in the city, but was still frowned upon in the less developed region or the villages. Thus, Ronghui took the initiative to hold Yunyu\'s hand on the bus. Some people glanced at them, but none had a hostile gaze. They only looked at two adoring men in love.
Both Yunyu and Ronghui blushed and Yunyu\'s hand was sweaty, Yunyu tried to pull his hand off, afraid that Ronghui might get disgusted with the sweat, but Ronghui tightened his hand, as he didn\'t want to let go.
"My hands are sweaty…" Yunyu tried to pull his hand again.
"It\'s mine that is sweaty, yours is fine," Ronghui said. He didn\'t want Yunyu to get embarrassed because of his nervousness.
They arrived at the bus station in the city, time was still around nine in the morning, they had plenty of time. Ronghui led Yunyu to a café and sat near the window. They ordered their brunch and ate together.
Ronghui forced Yunyu to accept the food as his treat, because he was the one who asked Yunyu to go to the city. Yunyu was in a great mood today, they finally went to the biggest bookstore in the city.
Truthfully, Ronghui didn\'t like to read. He was naturally gifted, he could read anything and would absorb the content of the book in only one read. But he knew that Yunyu liked reading, so this was the perfect date location for them.
Just like Li Yunyu, Bai Yunyu also loved reading, but what he read was not a study book. Because he was a rotten fudanshi, he read boys love, and he also read a good amount of regular romance. Oh! He also loved to read fantasy and action books and manga.
Yunyu walked to the novel section, which surprised Ronghui, "I thought you like study books."
Yunyu was caught off guard, "Ah—That, I just want to have more diversity in my library," Yunyu lied, he tried to shift the topic, "How about you? What book do you want, maybe I can help searching."
Now, it was Ronghui who was caught off guard, "I—I… uh…" Ronghui was slightly panicked, he picked a random book from the shelf and showed it to Yunyu, "I need this book."
Yunyu read the book title, he giggled, "DIY Nail polish and glitters tutorial? I don\'t know that you care that much about your nails," Yunyu laughed freely at Ronghui\'s randomness.
Ronghui was embarrassed, but when he saw Yunyu smiling and laughing at him freely, Ronghui felt that it was worth the embarrassment.
[Pupa: Ding! Yang Ronghui\'s Fatemeter increases to 55%.]
For this moment, Yunyu didn\'t mind listening to the Fatemeter notification. He felt that Ronghui was pleasing to the eyes. For the first time, Bai Yunyu felt that someone could be as pleasing to the eyes as Han Ye. Well, Han Ye was still the best, but Ronghui was not bad too.
Yunyu\'s cheery smile lingered, he put the book on the shelf and said, "I\'ll go to the bathroom. Please wait here."
Yunyu hopped happily to the bathroom. The bathroom was empty because it was Saturday morning, Yunyu cleaned up after he was done in the bathroom. He giggled happily while washing his hand.
[Pupa, you are very quiet today. Usually, you will have something to ruin the day for me. Is this the day when you finally submit to me as my cute system?]
[Pupa: No. I\'m just waiting for the right moment.]
[The right moment?]
[Pupa: And the right moment is here, Junze is coming.]
Yunyu was bewildered by the system\'s sudden notification. Then, from the mirror, he saw a tall figure with his striking sharp phoenix eyes, staring at him in the mirror with obvious anger. Junze smirked when he saw Yunyu who was frightened at his presence.
Junze stared at Yunyu in the mirror and leaned forward. He tapped Yunyu\'s cheek a few times, he taunted Yunyu, "Look at this, you dressed up for your date with Ronghui? Do you think he will fall in love with you? Don\'t dream, the only one that will fall in love with you is a punk that likes a crybaby, scrawny boy."
Junze clenched Yunyu\'s jaw with his fingers and said, "I saw everything, shrimp."
[Pupa: Ding! Zhou Junze\'s Fatemeter increases to 30%. Breakmeter Increases to 30%.]
