"Why are you so slow? I told you to keep up! Damn it, you slowpoke!" Long Shen was at it again. He yelled at his new assistant, the beautiful Wei Xin.

It had been three days since Wei Xin started working with Long Shen, and not even once she heard the mighty Mr. Long Shen praised her. No, she didn't even need to be praised. She just wanted Mr. Long Shen not to yell at her every single damn time!

Wei Xin was frustrated, and her appearance was haggard, a contrast to his appearance three days ago. Just in three days, Long Shen could turn someone's life into living hell. It was a miracle that Bai Yunyu could stand long Shen for almost one year.

But Long Shen himself also felt something was wrong with him. He knew that he had a sharp mouth, especially when he was working. But his mood was extremely irritable nowadays. He could snap at the littlest thing possible. He didn't even care if Wei Xin did her job well or not. He wanted to yell at someone, anyone, just to vent his frustration.

"This damn movie set is like a cursed place to me," Long Shen said in his room. He could just pull out from the movie and paid the fine for breaching the contract. Long Shen was extremely rich anyway. He took this role because he respected Mr. Guo as his director and old-time colleagues, not because he needed money.

He was usually a hard worker who didn't care about whatever happened around him. As long as he did his job, then it was fine.

But he saw Yunyu with that bastard nowadays. Their relationship kept on getting closer and closer. Long Shen always eyed them from the side, and his hatred towards Aaron Xu stockpiled like a fragile tower that would break anytime soon.

He saw Yunyu was feeding Aaron a spoonful of fried rice, and they laughed harmoniously. Yunyu also bought him Long Shen's favourite glazed donut and coffee. Aaron ate half of it while stuffed Yunyu's mouth with the other half, "You need to eat as well."

Yunyu's cheek reddened while he ate the donut. They were so harmonious that they pricked Long Shen's eyes. What he wanted to do right now was to separate these two and punched Aaron Xu to the ground. Even better, he wanted to kick Aaron Xu out of this movie set.

But he was Mr. Guo's nephew. It wasn't possible to kick him out. Besides, he was the main character of this movie. He had way too many scenes.

Thus, Long Shen shifted his attention to Yunyu. He wasn't sure what he was feeling in his heart right now, and he refused to believe that he had fallen in love with Bai Yunyu. That was simply outrageous for him.

But one thing for sure, he hated it when Yunyu was close with anybody else and served anybody else other than him.

'I need to talk with him in his apartment later,' Long Shen thought.

***

Aaron and Yunyu returned to Aaron's reserved room. Aaron pushed Yunyu on the long sofa once he locked the door. He put his hands between Yunyu's shoulder, so the guy wouldn't run away.

His handsome face beamed with a charming smile as he asked, "So, do you finally get your answer?"

"Mm… about what, Boss?" Yunyu asked innocently.

"About my proposal, of course. I told you two days ago that I like you and want you to be my boyfriend, right?" Aaron said. He peered at Yunyu suspiciously, "Or did you forget?"

"N—No, I haven't forgotten!" Yunyu denied. "But… I thought it was just a joke…"

"A joke?! Why?" Aaron Xu asked. Two days ago, he gathered so much courage by taking an early leave on his schedule and took Yunyu with him to a Michelin restaurant owned by his parents.

They went on a romantic candlelight dinner that Aaron had prepared, and after they had a nice dinner with nice music, Aaron said to Yunyu,

'Bai Yunyu, I know that we've only known each other for a week or so. But I realized that I've been interested in you since first sight. So, would you be my boyfriend?'

Yunyu was stunned at that time, and his answer was just, 'Give me time.'

"So… that's not a joke?" Yunyu asked cluelessly.

"Of course not! I really like you, dumbass!" Aaron Xu confessed once more.

"… but why? Boss, you are a star… I see that your social media is blowing up right now because of your previous mini-series," Yunyu said. "And I'm… I'm just an ugly guy…"

"Don't call yourself ugly! You are the most gorgeous one for me!" Aaron insisted. He kissed Yunyu's scar again, and again, and again until Yunyu finally struggled because he felt uncomfortable.

He was afraid to dirty Aaron's lips with his scar.

"I can kiss you a hundred times if you want!" Aaron added.

"… Boss, I appreciate your feelings for me… but I don't think dating someone like me is a good choice. It'd be a huge blow for your career if you get discovered," Yunyu said.

"I don't care. Didn't I tell you before that acting is just to fill my free time after I graduated? I can always take my dad's company or start a new business. It doesn't matter!"

"But I care… and it does matter to me…" Yunyu shook his head. He gently caressed Aaron's cheek and continued, "I believe you have the potential to be a big star, to be loved by everyone. Doing something rash like dating someone like me would only damage your reputation…"

Yunyu saw how Aaron seemed to get displeased with his answer. Thus, Yunyu continued, "But that doesn't mean I do not like you. Boss, you are handsome, tall, kind, and gentle to me. How could I not love you?"

"T—Then your answer—"

"I will be your assistant. I will assist you in whatever you do in this entertainment industry. I do love you, and I will support you, but one day, if you like someone else from the industry, then you're free to go. There's no commitment between us, okay?"

"But I don't want a commitment between us…" Aaron sighed. "Fine then, as long as you're with me. I will prove to you that I will be loyal!"

"Also, we are unofficially dating now, right?"

Yunyu lowered his head shyly and nodded, "I guess… but without commitment, so if you want to leave, you can always do it, no hard feelings."

[Pupa, what's Long Shen's Fatemeter right now?]

[Pupa: 60%. He has been eyeing you the whole time, ready to pounce you.]

[Nice, then I shall proceed to my next step!]

[Pupa:… what's this dating without commitment you spouting? Don't you like Aaron?]

[I mean, he's a great guy! In fact, if he's the master of the world, I'll definitely date him and marry him, and fuck him also! But he's not, sadly. I don't want to bind him with a commitment to stay loyal to an ugly guy like me.]

[Pupa:… Just say that you want to date both Aaron Xu and Long Shen, right?]

[Sshhh! Don't make me sound cheap! What if my fans know my true intention!]

[Pupa: It's written all over your lewd face, spicy chicken host.]
