"Isn't it right, Mr. beauty?"

The kids darted their eyes at Long Shen, following their dad's gaze. Long Shen blinked as he got surprised with such question, then he laughed heartily.

"Handsome Uncle, why are you laughing? Is it true? Are you the beauty in that story?" one boy asked.

"Of course, he is! Don't you see that he is very handsome? Of course, he is the beauty in that story!" one older girl replied.

"But if he is the beauty, where is the beast?" one kid asked again. Then they were all silenced while staring at Long Shen, waiting for an answer.

Long Shen chuckled and put down the kids that hogged him one by one. He got up and sat beside Yunyu on the bench. The kids looked up to Handsome Uncle Long Shen and Daddy Bai Yunyu. Long Shen held Yunyu's hand and replied to the kids, "Why are you guys searching for the beast?"

"Your Daddy Bai is mistaken. I am the beast. Your handsome uncle is a beast before, and when he meets with the beauty, he fell in love with him, and their kiss finally turned the beast into a human once more," Long Shen stared at Yunyu lovingly and longingly.

The kids tilted their head in confusion, "So Handsome Uncle is the beast who turns human? And Daddy Bai is the beauty?" one girl asked. 

"But Daddy Bai is not beautiful, like us, we are not beautiful," the girl added. 

"Listen to me, children, beauty is not only for your appearance but also in your heart. You can have the most beautiful face in the world, but if your heart is so rotten, then nobody will ever sincerely fall in love with you," Long Shen explained. "You may think that you are not perfect or not wanted, but believe me, as long as you have a good heart, someone will come to you and love you."

"Handsome Uncle, how do you know that Daddy Bai has a good heart?" the same girl asked again. She was listening attentively. She got a severe case of abuse before she was taken by Yunyu. She got beaten until half of her face was almost disfigured, so she always thought of herself as ugly, and her parents didn't want her because of that. 

Long Shen smiled at stared at Yunyu again. He gently held Yunyu's hand and replied, "Your Daddy Bai helps to cleanse the curse in my heart. I'm a beast with a vile heart, arrogant, ruthless, conceited. Your Daddy Bai showed me his true love, a sincere love that I don't deserve. So I fell in love with him and begged for his forgiveness."

"Now I'm in my mission to prove to him that I'm a changed man."

Long Shen gently kissed Yunyu's hand and then kissed Yunyu's cheek, right at the side where Yunyu had his scar. 

"I love you, my beauty."

"WHOA!" the kids were awed by how romantic and dreamy, handsome uncle was. Little did they know, the same handsome uncle was really a ruthless man a few months ago.

Bai Yunyu blushed. He didn't know what to say. But he showed his affection by shoving a slice of apple on Long Shen's lips. Long Shen smiled and ate the apple. His heart was warm all over, knowing how he was so close with his beloved.

Though, his heart still had that restless feeling inside.

[Pupa: It's been a year since you left China and ten months since you live with Long Shen to take care of the children, but the Fatemeter hasn't been triggered yet. You can't get that bonus 20% Fatemeter if the Fatemeter hasn't been triggered.]

[I know, and I know the reason also.]

[Pupa: Really?]

[Yep. It's because there's still insecurity in his heart, and that insecurity wouldn't be cleared until we confront it together.]

[Pupa: Is it Aaron Xu?]

[Yes, Long Shen knows that Aaron Xu has treated me a lot better in the past. So, he's afraid that I'll leave him for Aaron. Aaron Xu called me yesterday, saying that he had found my location and wants to talk. I think he'll arrive soon.]

[Pupa: Will you leave Long Shen for Aaron Xu?]

[No.]

[Pupa: So precise, what's the reason?]

[I just think that Aaron deserves someone better. He's such a bright and kind man, while Long Shen and I are aligned better, as we were both jerks who strive to be better person together.]

[Pupa: I really thought you want to build your harem again.]

[Hehe, not in this world, Pupa. This world is like that… healing world. I understand that both Bai Yunyu and Long Shen went through a lot. I don't want to make an even worse mess.]

[Pupa: Not in this world? So you want to do it in later worlds?!]

[Of course! I want to be embraced by many Master Hans around me, nyahahaha~]

Pupa wanted to refute, then checked the thirteenth world, a royal romance world. Then realized it might be in line with Yunyu's fantasy. So, Pupa just facepalmed silently while cursing the world order.

Bai Yunyu and Long Shen strolled on the beach near their orphanage. It was evening, and they stopped to enjoy the romantic sunset together.

Long Shen, however, only enjoyed the sunset for a moment, then turned his head to stare at Yunyu. Yunyu's scar was highlighted by the evening sunset from the side, but Long Shen didn't feel any disgust. 

All he did was plant a light kiss on Yunyu's cheek and then said, "You're so beautiful."

"Don't be too much of a flirt, will you?" Yunyu chuckled, but he pecked on Long Shen's lips and turned his back. "That's a payback for kissing me in front of the kids."

"Can I get another payback?" Long Shen teased.

"No," Yunyu replied. "But you can always get a bonus if you can catch me."

Yunyu started running on the beach, while Long Shen tried to catch Yunyu. After a while, Yunyu got out of breath, and Long Shen caught him easily and hugged him from behind. 

"Got you! Where's my bonus?" Long Shen asked.

…

"Yunyu…" 

Long Shen and Bai Yunyu darted their eyes together at a man who suddenly called Yunyu's name. And they were stunned, especially Yunyu.

A man standing in front of them with his black shirt and jeans. Nothing changed after one year, except that he was a bit thinner than before.

Aaron Xu standing in front of them, with his longing gaze staring at Yunyu, "Bai Yunyu, I've finally found you…"
