It took three days for Bai Yunyu to fully recover from his exhaustion and was allowed to leave the hospital by the doctor. For those three days, Long Shen always visited Bai Yunyu and brought him some food since the food in the hospital was as bland as ever.
Long Shen had hired another personal assistant. He felt that Yunyu alone as his personal assistant was too much of a work.
"S—Sir, I can handle everything just fine! You can count on me. This is just a one-time thing!" Yunyu said. But Long Shen didn't seem to hear him and hired a female assistant, and her name was Zhou Yulin.
One day, Long Shen went to Bai Yunyu's ward on his last day and said, "Her name is Zhou Yulin. She is also an orphan like us, so we need to help each other. Yulin, Yunyu will help you with my schedule and activities, you two can do shift, so both of you can get a rest at least one or two days a week."
Yunyu stared at Zhou Yulin, who was smiling nicely at them. She looked cute and pretty fresh, as she was still twenty years old.
[Pupa, she is Long Shen's love interest in this world, right?] Yunyu asked as he seemed to remember the content of the background. Long Shen had many fake love affairs with actresses and singers, but none of them was real.
But Long Shen fell in love with Zhou Yulin in the end and live happily ever after like a Cinderella story. That was until Yunyu came to their story to be a homewrecker, of course, hehe.
[Pupa: Correct. In fact, I can show you Long Shen's Fatemeter with Zhou Yulin if you want.]
[Wait, you can do that?]
[Pupa: In the original Ragemeter world, it seems that I have this capability. Probably a feature left when I was a Larva.]
[… this just proves that Larva has more value than you, Pupa.]
[Pupa: Should I leave now?]
[N—No! Please tell me Long Shen's Fatemeter with her!]
[Pupa: Long Shen's Fatemeter to Zhou Yulin is 20%.]
[Wait, what?! That's basically the same as mine, and she's not even doing anything!]
[Pupa: Because she's pretty, and you are ugly as heck. Long Shen will automatically be inclined to Yulin since they originally have a connection, and he's an actor. He's used to seeing beautiful ladies.]
[Damn it! Life is so unfair for ugly people like me!]
"H—Hello, Yulin, my name is Bai Yunyu. I'm Mr. Long Shen's assistant for a year already. Let's work hard together," Yunyu said as he stretched his hand for a handshake.
Yulin stared at Yunyu's face, and she frowned a bit. But there was Mr. Long Shen watching them, so she couldn't show too much disgust. She shook Yunyu's hand lightly before quickly pulled her hand as she was disgusted to touch Bai Yunyu.
'How could someone be so ugly. I can't believe Mr. Long Shen actually tolerate someone like this. And he smells bad too, ugh!' Yulin cursed in her heart.
[Pupa, this girl was not looking at me when I introduced myself. My gut feeling says that she doesn't like me.]
[Pupa: Probably.]
Long Shen was satisfied that he could help Yunyu and helped another orphan trying to find a job, Yulin. He checked his watch and said, "Bai Yunyu, you will be in charge of teaching Yulin about my schedule. You two will go to work with me. Tell her about our schedule in the morning."
"Yes, sir, thank you so much for letting me stay!" Yunyu said as he bowed his head.
Long Shen nodded and leave the ward. Yulin, who had a gentle smile on her face, asked Yunyu, "Senior Bai, would you mind telling me what to do tomorrow?"
"A—Ah, yes," Yunyu hurriedly took the agenda out of his bag and showed it to Yulin. "Mr. Long Shen will have a shooting at nine in the morning. We should have arrived at the set at least two hours before him to prepare everything."
Yulin snatched the agenda book from Yunyu and read the content. She nodded and handed it back to Yunyu, "Okay, Senior Bai. I will see you tomorrow, goodbye."
***
In the early morning, Yunyu was already standing in front of the building where the shooting would be held. It was a huge dome with a lot of properties inside, because it was an action movie. The shooting session officially began at nine, but there were plenty of people, mostly the prop staff already preparing for everything.
Yunyu saw the director who contacted him yesterday about Long Shen's schedule. He approached him and bowed his head, "Good morning, Mr. Guo."
"Ah, Bai Yunyu!" Mr. Guo cheered when he saw Bai Yunyu. They've had known each other for a while now since Long Shen often had Mr. Guo as his movie director.
And Mr. Guo himself had a great impression towards Yunyu. Although he was ugly, appearance wise, but Bai Yunyu worked really hard every day, and Mr. Guo always appreciated hard workers.
"Tell Long Shen that his scene will start at nine sharp. Because he is one of the main characters, he has a lot of scenes to do."
"Yes, I will tell Mr. Long later," Yunyu said.
[Where is that girl, honestly? I said to her that she should come two hours before Long Shen.]
[Pupa: Probably still sleeping in her comfy room.]
[Ugh, I want that too!]
Yunyu went to the room specifically reserved for Long Shen inside the building. He checked whether there was any dangerous stuff lying around or a camera. After he made sure that everything was alright, he checked the costume that Long Shen would wear. He needed to make sure there wasn't anything dangerous.
He had many things to do, and after, he made sure everything was okay. Yunyu bought frozen food from the nearest minimarket for Long Shen's breakfast, then he returned to Long Shen's room to check again.
To Yunyu's surprise, Long Shen was already sitting on the chair, with his arm crossed. He glared at Yunyu while Zhou Yulin was standing beside him worriedly.
"G—Good Morning, Sir," Yunyu greeted. But Long Shen didn't smile at all.
"I heard from Yulin that you are late today," Long Shen said.
"Huh? But I—"
"Yes! Mr. Long, I have been here since seven and keep calling Senior Bai, but only answered once and said that he wants me to do everything since he's lazy!" Yulin said.
Yunyu jolted at such slander. How could this girl suddenly twist the fact? It was him who took care of everything!
"Sir, I've been here since seven…" Yunyu replied weakly.
"But when I came here, Yulin is the one who is staying in this room, checking if everything is clear. She even brings me homemade food for breakfast," Long Shen said. He sighed and continued, "Okay, okay, you don't need to give me more alibi. I will forgive you for now, but don't be late later on."
Bai Yunyu was silenced. He didn't dare to defy Long Shen, afraid that he would get angry. But he glared at Zhou Yulin.
Zhou Yulin raised her eyebrows and gave Long Shen her homemade breakfast, "I—I'm sorry I can only cook few simple recipes, Sir. But I think you should eat before you do your scene."
"Yeah, you're right," Long Shen said.
He glanced at Yunyu and saw the frozen food on Long Shen's hand.
Zhou Yulin knew that Long Shen was hesitating when he saw Yunyu actually bought something, which he expected, must be for his breakfast also.
Thus, Yulin interrupted again, "Ah, Mr. Long Shen, please try my homemade food. Since this is homemade, it's definitely going to be better than just random store-bought food! It's healthier, at least! You have a packed schedule. It's not good to eat frozen food!"
"… yeah, thank you." Long Shen said. Then he simply ignored Yunyu and ate the homemade breakfast prepared by Yulin. He nodded approvingly, "This is nice. You've worked hard."
"Hehe, everything for you, boss!" Yulin said.
Long Shen stared at Yunyu, and he somehow also felt a bit guilty at him. Thus he said, "Bai Yunyu, you can eat that frozen food. At least it will fill you."
[Pupa: Ding! Long Shen's Fatemeter to Bai Yunyu decreases to 15%.]
[Pupa: Ding! Long Shen's Fatemeter to Zhou Yulin increases to 25%.]
