Chapter 745 - RW 1.40

Long Shen slowly leaned and kissed Yunyu's lips gently, "My moonlight, I cannot quench this overflowing feeling in my heart. Let me love you even if you cannot be mine."

Bai Yunyu was speechless by Long Shen's vow. Because Yunyu was at that position right now, with Han Ye.

[To love, even if you cannot be mine…]

It was such a pity, but you couldn't force your feeling onto someone. All he could do was love silently, supporting Han Ye and hoping he would be happy. 

Just like what Long Shen, Mu Ronghui, Huang Jinren, and Zhu Junze did to him right now. 

…

Yunyu didn't want to reject such sincere feelings. But he knew he couldn't love Long Shen in this world. So he didn't give a clear answer to Long Shen. 

He just nodded vaguely, not answering anything that Long Shen wished with rejection nor acceptance.

He preferred to be ambiguous with Long Shen, just like how he treated the rest of the male leads that suddenly came to his life in his real world. 

Long Shen looked more than pleased after Yunyu nodded, basically giving him permission to love. 

"I will never hurt you again, Yunyu. Not anymore…"

"I know," Yunyu replied with a thin smile on his face. 

After they embraced each other for a while, Yunyu finally asked, "You know that I'm here not only for cuddles, right?"

Long Shen chuckled. He got up and walked back to his seat. He wore his glasses again and stared at Yunyu, who was sitting on the sofa, "Well, please stand in front of me then."

Yunyu stood in front of Director Long Shen as the latter read the application letter Yunyu made. 

"Well, of course, we both know that Zhu Junze is the one that sponsors you. But I'm not someone who would take nepotism lightly. Usually, those with a connection can get a free pass, but not with me."

"You need to show that you're capable of taking the role, especially the main character of the story," Long Shen explained.

"I'm ready, Mr. Long… Zhen…" Yunyu read the name again, just to make sure. "Your name in this world is Long Zhen?"

"Well, it's my birth name in this world. I am Long Zhen, but in my heart, my name has always been Long Shen."

"Well, okay then. What should I do to get your approval for the role?" 

"You can come here and recite the line with me. I will be the dominating male lead while you're being the MC."

"Uh… okay…" Yunyu felt there was something wrong that he couldn't really figure about. But he didn't ask much and drew near Long Shen. 

Long Shen gave the script, and he started reading the line that was supposedly given to the MC. 

Bai Yunyu read the script, at least a few lines, because he wasn't really paying attention.

Until Long Shen suddenly grabbed his wrist and forced Yunyu to sit on his lap while they were reading the script together. 

"We're supposed to be the actors here. Let's be more serious, okay, dear?"

[Huh, the names of the characters are kind of familiar…] 

"Un…" Yunyu read the first line of his scene with the male lead and then started the acting. 

This was the story of Kim Tae-Oh and Bo Yun. They were students in an all-boys high school, and both were a sophomore. Kim Tae-oh was a mixed Korean-Chinese descent who transferred to the school to follow his Chinese mom back to China after his parents' divorce. While Bo Yun was a Chinese young man with a bright upbringing and somewhat naive, very typical of an MC. 

In this scene, Kim Tae-Oh was transferred to Bo Yun's high school but had no friends and never intended to make one. So he spent his lunch break alone, sitting under a tree behind the school building. 

And Bo Yun accidentally met him.

—!Action!—

"Huff… huff… I think they've lost track of me, right?" Bo Yun looked around warily. He was chased by one of those bullies who wanted to extort money. Of course, he wouldn't give in, that money was his lunch money, and he was dead hungry!

"Hmph! I work hard for this money, ah!" Bo Yun complained while counting the money in his pocket. He worked part-time in a restaurant as a dishwasher and cleaner, and his money was saved for his own need, including lunch. 

As he counted the money, he walked past the tree and noticed someone was sitting alone.

He almost jumped out of fright because nobody really came here unless they were ghosts… or in hiding of someone.

But when he saw a handsome but cold-looking man sitting alone, he got both scared and curious at the same time.

"H—Hello… are you a real student or… a ghost?" Bo Yun asked. He was scared because the man looked so pale compared to him and the rest of the students. He also had different facial features, making him very handsome, yet cold, like an ice prince. 

Kim Tae-Oh looked at Bo Yun, who approached him carefully, and snorted, "What kind of stupid question was that?"

"H—Hey! I'm just being careful, you know! Rarely anyone come to this place!" Bo Yun retorted. "Besides, who are you and why are you here anyway? This place is seriously abandoned!"

Kim Tae-Oh stared at Bo Yun and scoffed, "I just like a quiet place. I'm a new transfer student here."

"Ah, really?" Bo Yun heard a new student, but he wasn't assigned to Bo Yun's class. "Well, my name is Bo Yun. What's yours?"

"Bo Yun? I heard someone in my class say that Bo Yun owed him money. Should I tell him that you're here with me?"

"W—Wait!" Bo Yun panicked when this guy suddenly fished out his phone, about to call someone. "H—Hey, don't be too rash, uh… big brother. I'm in dire need of money. I can't pay my debt for now!"

"Big brother?" Kim Tae-Oh was a bit surprised that Bo Yun could easily call someone as his Gege or Big brother. "You're calling me Big brother?"

"I—I mean, would you rather not to get called as Big brother? I can always change it to uh… Boss?" 

…

Kim Tae-Oh found it ridiculous but amusing at the same time. This guy really had no backbone, just one scare, and he would cower. 

Kim Tae-Oh was new in this all-boys school. He was handsome, pale, and looked really cold, attributed to his father's Korean nationality.

Yet, nobody really wanted to talk to him because of his somewhat dismissive attitude. Also, he was treated like a foreigner here, although he was a mixed Korean-Chinese. 

Thus, Kim Tae-Oh didn't even bother to know them and preferred to stay alone in here. 

But when he talked with Bo Yunyu just now, he instantly knew that Bo Yun didn't see him with prejudice or any underhanded idea. Because Bo Yun was like an open book to everyone around him, including Kim Tae-Oh, who just knew him. 

"I assume this place is also your hiding spot, right?" Kim Tae-Oh asked.

"Y—Yes…" 

"Then, I'll keep my silence as long as you will accompany me here and call me Big brother."

"Um…" Bo Yun was confused about such a request because it was weird. 

But there was no harm in it, and Bo Yun did use this place as a hiding spot. So he nodded, "Well, what's your name then?"

"Kim Tae-Oh. Call me Tae-Hyung."

—!Cut!—
