Chapter 42: 2.21
The engagement party was held in Duan family's private garden. It was a private party for the elites, because Junze and Yunyu didn't have any close friend from high school, Duan Biya decided to invite all Duan family's business relations, because it would help Junze to familiarize with the circle.
Yunyu watched the beautiful party in front of him. The elegant suits and dresses, the beautiful decorated garden with soft-coloured drapes, and all the lamps that made it even more magical. Yunyu sighed.
"Are you uncomfortable?" Junze asked Yunyu. Because Yunyu didn't seem to be very happy with the engagement party. He held Yunyu's hand and kissed it, "Aren't you happy with our engagement?"
Yunyu saw their hands entangled together and that shining rings on their fingers were proof of their engagement. Yunyu shook his head, "It's not it. I just can't believe that I will be engaged at the age of nineteen and with you, Zhou Junze, out of all kinds of people."
"Then, do you regret it?" Junze's gaze darkened, he had a lot of ways to tie Yunyu to his side, but he wanted Yunyu to love him truly without any coercion. If Yunyu regretted the engagement, then he would find another way as long as Yunyu would be on his side.
"Not at all," Yunyu smiled, "I'm grateful that it's you."
"… I love you, Yunyu." Junze uttered. He kissed Yunyu's lips in front of the guests, which made them squeal in adoration. Junze and Yunyu's love story was the source of talk in social media, and the entertainment industry even contacted them, because they wanted to make it a movie about high school drama.
After Junze kissed Yunyu, Junze spoke in front of the guests, "Thank you, honorable ladies and gentlemen who have come to this engagement party of me and my fiancée, Li Yunyu. I do not have much to say, but I want to thank my fiancée for being the source of strength, and happiness. He is the one who changed me, encouraging me to be who I am now. He is… my starlight."
Junze turned his head towards Yunyu, and a rare sincere smile appeared on his face, "Li Yunyu, I love you."
"I love you too, Zhou Junze."
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 90%.]
[Pupa: Ding! Zhou Junze's Fatemeter increases to 100%! Congratulations host, may the god of love blessed you with eternal happiness!]
[Yah… Junze is so sweet. Who would've expected that the plot would develop into this. He was a scoundrel, a bully to Li Yunyu. But now we are engaged.]
[Pupa: You are the one who changed the plot into this.]
[I know, but I never imagined that I'd be engaged to someone in a world. I thought quick transmigration is more of a game. Because in all books that I read, Quick transmigration is like a fun game.]
[Pupa: Your mission is real, Zhou Junze and Yang Ronghui are real, and your feeling… is real. Everything is real.]
[Yes, I've learned a lot.]
The party continued until midnight. After all the guests had left, Duan Biya giggled at Junze and Yunyu, she said, "This house is my gift for your engagement, Junze. Go have fun with Yunyu."
Duan Biya winked and left them.
Yunyu blushed at his mother in law's shameless hint, he glanced at Junze who also couldn't hide his blush. Junze pulled Yunyu's hand impatiently to the room that had been prepared for them.
"We are engaged, not married. It's not the time to consummate…" Yunyu said.
"I've waited long enough for this," Junze replied impatiently.
They entered the room and Junze pushed Yunyu onto the bed. Junze unbuttoned his suit one by one, which made Yunyu jittery. He was a man with a dirty mind, but when faced with his presumably first night with a man he was engaged with, Yunyu felt the unprecedented nervousness.
[Oh my god, this is much more nerve wracking than what I expected! My first time! This is the moment when a fiery sword will stab my sacred chrysanthemum!]
[Pupa: Yang Ronghui is here.]
[… now? Are you for real?]
[Pupa: Yes, he has subdued two guards who were guarding in the front. He comes with a gun.]
[… Can we do the mission later? This is my first night.]
[Pupa: Yang Ronghui is heading this way.]
[Aaarghh! Okay, okay! Pupa, you have to compensate me in the later world!]
Yunyu glanced at his right and noticed a lot of sex toys ready to be used, probably prepared by Duan Biya for their first night. He scanned briefly and found a pair of handcuffs for kinky play. He sighed and then smiled sweetly at Junze, "Ze'er, I will be in charge."
Junze frowned, "What do you mean?"
Yunyu pulled Junze to the bed and then took the pair of handcuffs. Junze watched everything, and then he realized what Yunyu wanted to do. He didn't expect that Yunyu would be so wild on their first night.
Yunyu cuffed both Junze's wrists on the bed. Junze was now completely immobile because the handcuffs were real one.
Yunyu laid beside Junze and then whispered, "Ze'er, Ronghui is coming. I don't want you to get hurt, I want to end it all. Please take care of Ronghui, he is still your half-brother. I love you, Zhou Junze, truly."
Yunyu kissed Junze's lips and left the bed. It took a moment for Junze to realize the impending doom that would happen to Yunyu.
"Yunyu, no! No! Stop right there! Li Yunyu!"
Junze struggled like crazy. He pulled the handcuffs as hard as he could, but he couldn't break it. Yunyu opened the door and gave him the last smile. He took the key and locked the door from outside.
Yunyu waited outside until a man showed in the corridor. Showered by the moonlight, Ronghui looked rugged. There was no trace of his previous brightness of a male god. Although he was still extremely handsome, he had obviously gone through a lot.
Ronghui saw Yunyu standing outside, Yunyu smiled at him and walked to Ronghui, "It's been a while, Ronghui."
Yunyu noticed the handgun in Ronghui's hand.
[System, is it automatic?]
[Pupa: Automatic, with two bullets loaded in.]
[Phew, that's relieving.]
"Move away, Yunyu," Ronghui said. His icy gaze sent chills down to his spine.
"What do you want to do?"
Ronghui scoffed, "Isn't it obvious? I will kill Junze, I will make sure to blow his head off."
"Ronghui, you know he is your half-brother…"
"I don't care, I don't care anymore! I know that you will never love me if I killed that bastard, but if I can't have you, then nobody can! Don't worry, Yunyu. I will kill myself after I kill that bastard."
[Wha… Ronghui has turned into a Yandere…]
[Pupa: Thanks to a clueless guy who thinks that he is a virtuoso of love.]
"I will not let you," Yunyu shook his head. He walked closer towards Ronghui. Then he tried to snatch the gun. Ronghui avoided Yunyu's hand. Soon, struggle happened between them.
Yunyu fiercely tried to take the gun from Ronghui's hand, "Yunyu, let go!"
"No! I will not let you!" Yunyu scratched and bit Ronghui's hand as he tried to stop Ronghui. The struggle between them lasted for a few minutes until Ronghui accidentally triggered the gun.
Click.
A loud sound of gun noise shocked both of them. Ronghui froze on the spot, while Yunyu's eyes widened. Yunyu pushed the last strength that he had, and triggered the gun on Ronghui's hand twice, and another shot was heard.
Yunyu took the two loaded bullets on himself.
Yunyu smiled at the stunned Ronghui. His trembling hand caressed Ronghui's cheek, "Ronghui, my… first… love…"
With that, Yunyu slumped to the ground.
[Pupa: Ding! Yang Ronghui's Fatemeter increases to 100%. May the god of love bless you with eternal happiness!]
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 100%. The world has been completed! Congratulations host!]
Yunyu's soul watched Ronghui who was crying desperately calling his name while holding Li Yunyu's lifeless body. Then, Yunyu went inside the room and saw Junze whose tears streamed down to his cheek. His wrist was bloodied because he desperately tried to release the handcuff to no avail.
Yunyu approached Junze, and then kissed his cheek one last time. Although Junze couldn't see or hear anything from him, Yunyu still wanted to say it, "For almost three years, I really did fall in love with you, Junze. Well, maybe a bit less than my love for Han Ye."
[Pupa: We need to go now.]
[I trust you that they will have a great life after my death, Pupa.]
Yunyu sighed. He hugged Pupa and they left the world.
