Chapter 708 - RW 1.3

"Don't you ever give me your disgusting crap food. You filthy creep."

SLAM!

Han Ye slammed the door shut, leaving Yunyu with his scalded feet and face full of chocolate when Han Ye threw the chocolate donuts to his face. 

…

…

"Geez, this donut is expensive for me, Han Ye Gege. Do you know how much I spent to buy your merchandise?" Yunyu complained as he picked up the donuts on the ground and ate them because he bought this with his breakfast money. 

Bai Yunyu went to the toilet and washed his scalded feet. Thankfully, it wasn't that hot because it had stayed for a while, so it didn't really hurt. 

Yunyu washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror. He had returned to his original body, 175 centimeters, thin, with peach blossom eyes. It might sound unoriginal, but Yunyu truly had that clean appearance of a youth in his late adolescent age. 

"Ah, my real body is still the most comfortable. Though, I probably should squat more to exercise my butt, so it becomes perkier," Yunyu turned around and giggled like an idiot. 

He was used to his nice perky butt in so many worlds that he forgot his real body wasn't that nice. He really had to exercise more.

"But what's the point of exercising when I eat ramen every single day? Haish…" Yunyu sighed, and he walked out. He went to his dressing room and prepared himself for his shoot today.

He didn't have many scenes, honestly. Because he only appeared in two episodes and would be killed on the second one.

But he was still excited because all of his scenes were with Han Ye! That meant he would spend at least a few hours talking with Han Ye Gege, although it's only during the shooting, hehe.

Yunyu didn't have an assistant whatsoever, so he just talked with the makeup artist auntie, "Auntie, I'm the one who will play as Bai Shijue today," Yunyu said, mentioning the character he would be playing.

"Ohh, so you're Bai Shijue! Okay then, go sit there. I'll wash my hands and prepare the makeup kit first."

Yunyu obediently sat on the chair that he always thought would be impossible for him to sit on.

Now that he could sit and wait for someone else to do his makeup, it was like a dream come true. He was super excited!

Yunyu hummed happily until he got a text from Jia Jie.

—

Jia Jie: Yunyu, did Han Ye catch you sneaking around?

—

Yunyu gulped and replied to the text.

—

Yunyu: Yes, Jie. I'm so sorry because I want to check whether there is a hidden camera somewhere, just in case one of those crazy fans trying to snoop around to get footage of Han Ye Gege taking off his clothes or doing something else.

Jia Jie: I understand your intention, Yunyu. But I'll be the one who does that from now on, okay? Han Ye scolded me for allowing you to come in. 

Yunyu: Ah, I'm so sorry for giving you trouble, Jie…

Jia Jie: It's okay. I know you're a good boy. Just be careful next time.

—

Yunyu felt really guilty for Jia Jie. Honestly, she was his shield whenever Han Ye Gege was about to hit him because of something Han Ye didn't like. 

'Ah, if only this real-world had some cheat ability from Pupa, at least that ability to see Fatemeter or looking through the plot, that'd be great.'

…

'Wait, on the second thought, I don't want to see through Han Ye Gege's Fatemeter because I know it'd be a minus.'

Yunyu waited until the makeup artist auntie returned and started applying foundation on his face. 

"Aiya, you're such a handsome young man, charming too! Is this your first role?" She asked while checking on her brushes. 

"Yes, auntie, this is my first role…." Yunyu replied meekly. A faint blush appeared on his face as he felt so flattered that someone finally praised him. 

"Then you must be good! Since this is a high-end series, the director wouldn't pick a random first-time actor for any role. My name is Shu Miao. Just call me Auntie Shu."

"M—My name is Bai Yunyu…"

"Oh? Bai Yunyu as in… white jade? Or hidden talent?" 

"White jade. But maybe I also have talent by being handsome, hehe~."

"Aiya, you're so funny!" 

They joked around happily until other actors and actresses came to the set and waited for their turn to do their make up while checking their wardrobe.

Yunyu hoped that Han Ye would come, at least to see his amazing make up because Yunyu felt 10x more handsome after getting dolled up! Especially his peach blossom eyes, Auntie Shu had put on some pink shades to make him look like an immortal youth, the embodiment of spring. 

"And you're done! You should put on your costume because you have an early shooting schedule, right?"

"Ah, yes! H—How did you know, Auntie Shu?"

"Haha, the director asked me outside whether the one playing Bai Shijue is already here."

"Oh, then I should get ready!" Yunyu got up and thanked Auntie Shu for the second time before going to the wardrobe section. He met with Jia Jie, who was busy looking around. 

"Jie, are you searching for something?" Yunyu asked. 

Jia Jie turned her head and looked so relieved when she saw Yunyu, "Oh, thank god you're still here! Yunyu, I was so scared that you might run away after what—after what Han Ye did to you," Jia Jie patted Yunyu's head. "He told me that he threw the donuts at your face and poured the hot coffee on your feet. Are your feet okay?"

"Mhm, don't worry too much about me, Jie. The coffee was not that hot anymore, so I washed it in the toilet. I'm sorry for giving you trouble this morning."

"No, no, it's my fault for sending you there. Now you have to forget everything that Han Ye said and just focus on your acting today, okay?"

"Yes! I'll do my best, Jia Jie!" Yunyu nodded excitedly, and he excused himself because he needed to change his clothes to his costume. 

Jia Jie stared at him from afar and sighed. She was trying her best to hide the fact that Yunyu would be Han Ye's treacherous disciple in the movie, Bai Shijue. 

Yunyu halted his step before he was too far and turned around. He asked Jia Jie, "Oh, did you tell Han Ye Gege that I'll be Bai Shijue, Jie?" 

"A—Ah, yeah, you don't need to worry about that. Just focus on your acting today!"

"Okay, thank you so much, Jia Jie!" Yunyu skipped happily as he went to grab his costume. 

Meanwhile, Jia Jie was nervous because she was scared that Han Ye might have done something. After all, he didn't like Yunyu.

But she didn't want to tell Han Ye directly because she knew Han Ye would probably ask the director to replace Yunyu. 

That was why Jia Jie didn't tell Han Ye about Yunyu's role. At least she hoped that Han Ye would be mesmerized by Yunyu's acting and decided to let him keep the role. 

"Let's just hope for the best," Jia Jie said to herself.
