997 Chapter 6



Zhao Yun stood nervously in front of the bus station where Yunyu was supposed to come. He came an hour earlier because he didn't want to be late. 

He had everything ready

The two tickets to enter the theme park, two bottles of water, and enough money to buy food.

Of course, he could just create money. He could be the richest man in this world with a snap of his fingers.

But he wanted to act and look normal in front of his wife, Yunyu. He wanted to look believable enough that his wife would feel relaxed around him. 

[???: How long will you maintain this farce?]

[Zhao Yun: Forever. I want him to be comfortable with me forever.]

[???: … you know you can't fool him forever.]

"Yun Ge!" Zhao Yun turned around when he saw Yunyu walking towards him while waving his hand.

He wore a white-yellow striped shirt, short cargo pants, shoes, and a yellow bucket hat. He looked like sunshine that brightened Zhao Yun's mood instantly.

Zhao Yun's heartbeat accelerated instantly. Everything he saw was his beloved. He was fighting his urge not to hug, kiss, and embrace him deeply.

Sometimes the urge could be maddening that Zhao Yun almost showed his true face in front of his beloved.

However, after all the things that happened between them, he knew that he shouldn't do that.

He knew that Bai Yunyu just wanted to be left alone, but Zhao Yun couldn't leave him.

Thus, acting as a different person entirely was his only way to keep close to his beloved.

"Yun Ge, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Zhao Yun smiled, "No, I'm just waiting for five minutes," he lied. "Let's go in."

Zhao Yun grabbed Bai Yunyu's hand but then stopped when he realized what he had done just now.

He quickly released Yunyu's hand and apologized, "Sorry."

"N—No, it's fine," Yunyu tried to hide his shyness. He took two steps forward to take the lead and said, "Let's go, Yun Ge. I want to check out the theme park!"

Zhao Yun followed Yunyu from behind. His hand was trembling because he accidentally touched Yunyu's palm, which was amazing.

It had been a while since the last time Yunyu caressed his cheek with that soft palm. It made him want more.

'No, I can't. I have to control my urge,' Zhao Yun reminded himself. 'I don't want to scare him….'

Yunyu and Zhao Yun spent the whole day in the theme park. 

Zhao Yun basically followed Yunyu to try every single attraction and rides the park had, and he wasn't tired at all.

He was, in fact, enjoying every second of this trip because he could see Yunyu being his happy self, free of his responsibility as God of Prosperity, and also free from his pain after all they went through. 

He knew that Bai Yunyu deserved everything good in this world and also deserved a break after such a strenuous and toxic relationship. 

But Zhao Yun couldn't give him up because Yunyu was his entire life. 

He could create and destroy any world at will, but no matter how much power he had, they all paled in comparison to spending time with his beloved.

"Gege, here, I bought you an ice cream!" Yunyu said as he handed an ice cream to the dazed Zhao Yun.

"Ah—" Zhao Yun accepted it but got worried instantly. "Are you sure you have money for this? Theme parks' ice cream is very expensive."

"It's fine!" Yunyu said. He licked his ice cream and shrugged lightly, "I mean, I don't have that much money, but I have to buy you something because you brought me here!"

Zhao Yun stared at the ice cream in his hand and slowly ate it with Yunyu by his side. They sat on a bench after a whole day of going around the theme park.

They tried every single ride, and Yunyu never felt happier in his life. 

Who would've expected a simple life like this would satisfy Yunyu more than his life as a God?

The sun was about to set, and Yunyu said, "Yun Ge, the ice cream seller, told me there will be a firework festival in an hour. I'd be happy if we could stay and watch it…."

Zhao Yun quickly realized that Yunyu was trying to bribe him with ice cream so he'd stay longer to accompany him to the fireworks. 

Which he didn't need to do, actually. 

Because Zhao Yun would accompany Yunyu everywhere he went for the rest of his life, that meant they'd be together for eternity because both of them were immortals.

"Sure, I want to watch it with you as well," Zhao Yun said.

**

Bai Yunyu and Zhao Yun found an empty section of the theme park that had been abandoned. There was a small hill that gave them access to a better view of the fireworks while having the space all for themselves.

Zhao Yun looked back and noticed a few people were trying to find this spot too. Hence, he just snapped his finger slightly to erase those people from existence, so they wouldn't disturb his date with his wife.

Bai Yunyu and Zhao Yun sat on the hill, waiting for the fireworks to be launched. They gazed at the starry sky for a while, and Yunyu finally opened his mouth.

"Yun Gege…"

"Yes?" Zhao Yun stared at his beloved, waiting for what he would say.

Bai Yunyu kept gazing at the star and then said, "I don't know why, but I feel so comfortable around you. I've never felt like this for so long, I already forget the last time I felt truly happy and at peace…."

Zhao Yun felt that his heart had been stabbed because that meant his wife had never been happy spending time with him.

Zhao Yun knew that Yunyu, he might be a crazy man who actively chased after him and destroyed everything just to get him, and he admitted his fault.

'But, even after all that, can I get my forgiveness? Can I get a second chance?'
