Chapter 38: 2.17
[Pupa: Ding! Zhou Junze's Fatemeter increases to 90%. This is the bonus Fatemeter because the host has successfully unlocked the hidden plot, congratulations!]
[Huh? Why do I get the late notification? I already uncovered the hidden plot hours ago!]
[Pupa: Because you need to trigger the Fatemeter first before receiving the bonus 20% Fatemeter. Anyway, this might come as a surprise, but you might find a world with double hidden plots.]
[So, that would be 40% Fatemeter?]
[Pupa: No, the second hidden plot will be a 20% increase for Breakmeter. If you find a world with double hidden plots, you will get a 20% increase in both Fatemeter and Breakmeter.]
[Huh, neat.]
Junze held Yunyu's hand tightly, his eyes were fully focused on Yunyu, and his heart was beating rapidly, especially after Yunyu promised him.
"That is a promise, I will make sure that I can fulfil my mother's wish," Junze kissed Yunyu's hand gently, and rested his cheek on Yunyu's palm, then he continued, "I will love you forever, Yunyu. Maybe you think this love will end after we graduate from high school, or maybe you think that I'm not serious about this. But deep down, I know that you are who I want."
"If I can get to the top ranking and enter top university with my own skill, then I will hold on to your promise. I want us to get engaged after we get accepted in university, then we will marry after university graduation," Junze said with his tone half begging.
Junze raised his head, then resting his chin on Yunyu's palm. His phoenix eyes looked up at Yunyu, "I want us to get engaged after university enrolment, so I can be sure that you will… that you will not take those words back."
Yunyu chuckled, he gently rubbed Junze's chin with his fingers, "Why are you so anxious? You know, I actually think that you will be the one who backs off from this promise. You will find beautiful women or handsome men in university. But, if you really want that, then I will be your fiancée after we enrol university."
Junze smiled brightly, "That's a promise."
Yunyu couldn't bear how cute his former bully was. His phoenix eyes turned into a beautiful crescent shape, beaming with happiness. Yunyu ruffled Junze's hair, "I will be your teacher, don't worry."
Yunyu left the car and returned back to his room.
[Pupa: Ding! Breakmeter increases to 50%.]
[As expected, I finally found the best formula to guide Junze to be better!]
[Pupa: You do? I thought you had given up with this world.]
[No! I would never! I am a fighter! I will never yield from a problem, I face it head on!]
[Pupa:… I still remember the time when you had given up because Junze pointed a gun at you, good times.]
[What do you mean good times?!]

Thus, the peaceful daily life of Junze and Yunyu started. Yunyu was pleased to see the radical change in Junze. He cut ties with all his previous lap dogs who would follow him around like a hooligan. He also stopped bullying anyone, because Yunyu was almost always around him during the school time.
Yunyu would scold him if Junze dared to intimidate his classmate, and Junze was like a henpecked boyfriend, he would only nod and listen to all Yunyu's scolding obediently.
Junze's grades skyrocketed to the roof after he studied with Yunyu every day. Truthfully, Junze was not stupid at all, in fact, he might have the same capability as Ronghui. But he was just lazy, and his father's demeaning words gaslighted the bully Junze who would terrorize Yunyu's school life.
Since Ronghui left the school, Yunyu took the first rank, but it was not the shock of the century. The real shocker was the second rank, Zhou Junze!
Zhou Junze from class F suddenly skyrocketed and beat everyone, even those in class A. Even the teachers had to investigate him to see whether he was cheating or not. But he could answer every question that was thrown at him with incredible precision, that it blew everyone's mind.
When he was asked about the reason how he could become smart so suddenly, his answer was:
"Because I'm in love with Li Yunyu. I want to be with him."
So that was the start of a legendary couple of the school, the former school bully turned good, Zhou Junze, and the honor student, Li Yunyu.
Their love story was like a classic school drama that garnered attention in social media. Soon, their photos scattered around the social media and they even had a small Fanclub that fully supported their relationships.
Of course, Ronghui also heard everything. He saw everything in social media, and he could only grit his teeth.
He was already so close to his goal and gained the trust of his bastard father, Zhou Jiayi. He might soon be able to gain full power and kill Zhou Junze. He would take his lover back from Junze and came out victorious.
A year and a half had passed, but Ronghui still couldn't let go of Yunyu. In fact, his love only grew stronger, especially after he faced many men and women who wanted to gain Jiayu's power by trying to seduce him.
"Only Yunyu that is pure. He is the light that I need…"
[Pupa: Ding! Yang Ronghui's Fatemeter increases to 85%!]
[Huh? Why so sudden? Is he around?]
[Pupa: No, but he is watching your photos with Junze on social media.]
Yunyu stared at Junze who was serious with his study. Junze and Yunyu were now in the senior year, they were busy with study to prepare for the national college entrance examination. Yunyu smiled and bopped Junze's nose, "You are very serious today, take a break whenever you need to."
Junze smiled and kissed Yunyu's cheek, "I'm fine, I need to work hard so I can catch up with you."
"You know that you're already smarter than me, right?" Yunyu laughed, "Ze'er, which major do you want to enter for your bachelor degree?"
"I will follow whatever you want," Junze said lightly. He was already determined to follow whatever Yunyu would do. Because his goal was only to fulfil his mother's wish and married Yunyu, the things after, then he could think about it later.contemporary romance
"Ze'er… I want you to decide on your own. You know that you will lead your family's business. You cannot follow me forever," Yunyu reminded him, but Junze stared at him with bewilderment in his eyes.
"You will leave me?"
"N—No, I mean, you are going to be a leader, so you should have your own opinion."
"Then my opinion and decision is to follow you," Junze said curtly.
Yunyu sighed with Junze's simple mind. Yunyu and Junze had been in a relationship for one and a half years, and Yunyu had found many habits of Junze.
Junze was a simple minded person, he was definitely also as academically talented as Ronghui, but he didn't have the complex mind of Ronghui. Junze was straightforward to show everything, including his love.
This guy wasn't shy to kiss Yunyu in public. He also did many shameless things, like preparing a surprise birthday party for Yunyu, while reciting some cringy poetic lines that were funny, yet lovable at the same time.
It made Yunyu sad, because whenever he saw the Breakmeter, he realized that he was so close to completing it. At least, Junze's path would not be ruined, unlike Ronghui.
[System, what is the current Breakmeter?]
Pupa showed the hologram, the Breakmeter was already 70%. It was slowly increasing overtime as Junze kept his study and ranked on top. It might have peaked at 80% once Junze enrolled in university.
[What about the last 20%?]
[Pupa: That depends on Ronghui's development. Because there are two masters of this world, you cannot complete the Breakmeter if you ignore one of them.]
[I see, well, I have a feeling that Ronghui will come soon… especially after he saw everything in social media.]
[Pupa:… I still wonder why do you need to try hard for this world? We can always restart again.]
[Because I am the one who messed up. I am guilty for leaving Ronghui like that. I want both Junze and Ronghui to live a good life, just like Michael. Because none of them are evil.]
[Pupa, I want to save them, all of them.]
