"Ah, that hurts!"
"Relax, I'm doing it slowly, boss."
"It still hurts, do it slower, so I can get used to it."
"You don't seem to get hurt when tussling with Mr. Long Shen."
"Well, that's because it was a matter of pride. Of course, I have to give all I have!" Aaron Xu said. He winced when Yunyu cleaned his bruises with a warm towel first and then used the ice pack in a cold towel as first aid treatment for the bruises.
Yunyu was worried when he saw how many bruises covered Aaron's body right now.
"Why did you fight Mr. Long Shen for real? Did he say something to you? What were you guys fighting about?" Yunyu asked. "Did you happened to fancy someone that had been with Mr. Long Shen before?"
Yunyu tried to remember all the women that Long Shen had dated. However, all of them were just fake, arranged dates set by the agency to create scandal and helped those said actresses. But the only one whom Long Shen preferred was Miss Kang Xiu.
"Is it Miss Kang Xiu? Do you fall in love with Miss Kang?" Yunyu pondered while he dripped antiseptic on Aaron's wounds on his legs.
Aaron winced again and replied, "No, I don't even know who that woman is."
"Hm… I'm sorry, boss. But I'm completely lost here. My advice, though, please don't make trouble with your senior. I know that you are strong and hot-blooded, but Mr. Long Shen is just too powerful for you to challenge," Yunyu said. "I'm just speaking based on my experience as his assistant before."
"Mm," Aaron replied with a short hum. He didn't even feel like talking about that bastard. "Do you not know whom he is in love with? Or at least, the person that he's currently interested in?" Aaron asked.
"No, as much as I remember, Mr. Long Shen hasn't been interested in anyone for a long time… maybe his new assistant, Zhou Yulin…" Yunyu lowered his head again. He still remembered how he got slandered by that woman.
Aaron stared at Yunyu, who seemed to genuinely have no idea about Long Shen's love interest. Though, Aaron could see it clearly. Maybe both of them hadn't realized it yet, but Long Shen was obviously interested in Yunyu.
And Aaron had to fight for someone he loved… or at least, the person he liked. Because he wasn't sure if his feeling for Yunyu was love or just a liking. But he was 100% sure that he was comfortable with Yunyu.
'Since Yunyu was oblivious about Long Shen's feeling with him, then I can take Yunyu's heart for myself. You can do this, Aaron!' Aaron said in his heart.
After Yunyu finished cleaning Aaron Xu's wounds. He got up and said, "Boss, you need to eat something first. I've bought you a food from the minimarket. I'm sorry, I can only buy frozen food for you…"
"No, it's okay," Aaron replied with a smile. Yunyu took off the lid and sat beside Aaron, who was lying on the long sofa.
"Boss, is it okay for me to feed you?" Yunyu asked cautiously, afraid that Aaron would refuse.
"Please do," Aaron answered. Yunyu sighed in relief and took a spoonful of minimarket curry for Aaron.
Aaron ate it obediently while staring at Yunyu's worried eyes. Even after he treated him gently, Yunyu still looked very worried about him. It warmed Aaron's heart. He ate everything that was fed by Yunyu and then drink from the straw.
He kept staring at Yunyu, who was really attentive to him. He had a question in mind and asked, "Did you also do something like this with Long Shen?"
"Huh? What do you mean, Boss?"
"You know, taking care of him, wiping his bruises, feeding him…"
"Umm… no. Mr. Long Shen hates me for my ugly face. He wouldn't even stare at me for more than ten minutes before…" Yunyu replied. He looked a bit sad. "That's why I wonder why do you stare at me for so long. Wouldn't it ruin your appetite? Or make you nauseous?"
"No at all," Aaron replied. He grabbed Yunyu's wrist suddenly and pulled him closer to his face. Aaron whispered in Yunyu's ear, "You are the most beautiful to me."
After he whispered that, Aaron kissed Yunyu's cheek, the side where the scar was located and kissed it.
Chu~
"Wha!? Boss, what are you doing?!" Yunyu retreated immediately and pulled so many tissues from the box. He soaked a part of it with antiseptic and then wiped Aaron's lips gently. "Why would you do something like that? You're kissing my scar, you might get an infection!" Yunyu scolded.
Aaron stared at Yunyu who looked even more worried than before just because he got kissed. Aaron giggled and said, "Do you want me to kiss you once more?"
***
The following day, Long Shen's new assistant finally came to the shoot. She was around the same age as Yunyu, but this new assistant was absolutely stunning, even more than Zhou Yulin. She was so gorgeous that she could actually rival some actresses out there.
The new assistant went inside Long Shen's room in the movie set and bowed her head politely, "Sir, I'm Wei Xin, your new assistant. I was briefed by Aunty Yuanjun yesterday."
Long Shen stared at Wei Xin from top to bottom, and he nodded with approval, "You passed. You look great, but you are new here, right? Then I shall accompany you around," Long Shen said.
Long Shen and Wei Xin went around the movie set like a couple. Everyone stared at them, especially the staff. They didn't realize that Long Shen had disposed his previous assistants, including Bai Yunyu, and took a new, gorgeous young woman as a new assistant instead.
Long Shen observed the movie set. He was searching for Bai Yunyu wherever he was. Because he wanted to show Yunyu that he could get a new assistant quickly, and it didn't matter if he quit his job anyway.
They paraded around the movie set until Long Shen finally found Yunyu chatting with Mr. Guo.
Long Shen dragged Wei Xin to Bai Yunyu and cleared his throat to get Yunyu's attention. Yunyu turned his head to the left and saw Mr. Long Shen. He took one step back and bowed his head politely, "Sir, I hope you're fine after yesterday's accident. I suggest you take one or two days of break since you don't have many scenes today."
Long Shen stared at Yunyu, who didn't seem to hold any grudge against him. He still remembered Long Shen's schedule and was even kind enough to remind him about his health. But it didn't matter now, since Yunyu decided to betray him and leave with that Aaron Xu bastard, who was obviously inferior to him.
"This is my new secretary, Wei Xin," Long Shen introduced the beautiful woman beside him.
Yunyu glanced at Wei Xin and then smiled gently, "Nice to meet you, Miss Wei Xin. I'm Bai Yunyu, Mr. Long Shen's former assistant. Since I'm his former assistant, then I'd give you few tips. First, always come early because Mr. Long hates tardiness. Second, always prepare for his stuff before any shoot or interview, especially the list of questions he doesn't want to answer. Third, don't forget to buy a glazed donut and a coffee for Mr. Long Shen every morning. He loves that as breakfast, and don't forget to book his gym trainer every month. Since his gym trainer is a professional and busy one, he has trouble maintaining his muscle during the resting season. Fourth—"
Wei Xin was stupefied by the amount of information processed in her mind. She didn't know that Mr. Long Shen was very difficult and had a lot of requests.
Meanwhile, Long Shen was also stunned by how much Yunyu actually knew about him, even more than himself. Yet, Yunyu was not his assistant anymore.
The urge to taunt Yunyu disappeared from Long Shen's heart. After that, he stared at Yunyu and took a deep breath. He collected his courage and uttered, "Yunyu, would you return—"
"Hey, what's going on here?" Aaron Xu suddenly barged in between their conversation. He draped his arm on Yunyu's shoulder, claiming that Yunyu was his, and then asked again, "Yunyu, I told you to talk to Uncle Guo about my next scene, right? Why are you here talking to him?"
"A—Ah, yes, Boss, this is Mr. Long Shen's new assistant, Miss Wei Xin. I was just teaching her a few stuff based on my experience working with Mr. Long," Yunyu replied.
"Ah, that's good," Aaron smirked smugly at Long Shen. He raised his chin slightly, showing his arrogance. "I see that Senior Long Shen has a new assistant. Well, Miss Wei Xin looks pretty and capable. Good for you, Senior Long."
"Shut up." Long Shen said curtly, glaring at Aaron's hand on Yunyu's shoulder, those strong arms wrapped Yunyu's shoulder as if it was a claim, an obvious claim.
"What? I'm just congratulating you. Also, I apologize for starting a fight with you yesterday, Senior Long. I don't know why did it get heated so suddenly, but it seems that everything is cleared now, right? We are happy with our own assistant."
Aaron dragged Yunyu. Yunyu confused by Aaron's statement but decided to just follow his boss. Meanwhile, Long Shen could only watch their backs hatefully.
'Bai Yunyu... why is it so easy for you to leave me?'
[Pupa: Ding! Long Shen's Fatemeter to Bai Yunyu increases to 60%.]
