I Somehow Became a Simping Villain - Chapter 8:

Chapter 8: What Happens When You Lick to the End?

“Dad, how can you be so cold?” Bai Susu said, her voice full of grievance.

“I’m cold?” Bai Father was furious. The family’s finances were in serious trouble, and only Young Master Ye Feng could save them. Yet his daughter did not prioritize the family at all and instead spent her days indulging in romance and leisure.

If she had found a rich second-generation heir like Ye Feng, it would have been one thing. But instead, she chose someone like Lin Yi, a poor student. The more Bai Father thought about it, the angrier he became, “I don’t want to argue with you. Be home before 11 p.m. tonight. If you’re late, then go sleep on the streets.”

“Also, let me tell you this clearly. If you dare to have anything to do with Lin Yi again, if I don’t break your legs, then I’m not your father!”

After saying that, Bai Father hung up the phone with a loud snap.

Bai Susu felt deeply wronged, her tears already on the verge of falling.

“Susu, your dad might just be anxious. He didn’t mean it,” Lin Fengjiao quickly comforted her. In all the time she had known her best friend, this was the first time Bai Susu’s father had scolded her like this.

“Waaah…” Bai Susu hugged her best friend and burst into tears.

The people in the mall could not help but cast curious glances at them. Among them were quite a few rich second-generation heirs from Jinling.

“Hey, isn’t that Miss Bai Susu? What’s wrong with her?”

“Probably troubled by love.”

“Could it be because of Young Master Ye Feng?”

“Very likely. I just saw Young Master Ye Feng taking a very beautiful girl to watch a movie.”

“Damn, Young Master Ye Feng is making moves. I have to record this and post it on my social media.”

…

At 10:30 p.m., Ye Feng and Gu Yunxiang walked out of the cinema.

A single movie had rapidly brought them closer. Now, Gu Yunxiang had already begun to take the initiative to link her arm with Ye Feng’s.

“What the hell, Bai Susu cried and they want me to go comfort her?” Ye Feng looked at his phone and saw a message Lin Fengjiao had sent more than an hour ago.

Since he had already blocked her phone number and messaging app, she had actually used an old QQ account to contact him. Ye Feng blocked it again, not wanting to receive any more spam messages.

“Brother Ye Feng, what’s wrong?” Gu Yunxiang asked curiously when she saw him frowning at his phone.

“Nothing.”

“I’ll take you home.”

In the underground parking lot, just as Ye Feng started the engine, Gu Yunxiang suddenly spoke, “Brother Ye Feng, is Miss Bai Susu okay?”

“Huh?” Ye Feng was momentarily confused.

“You bought that classic white dress on purpose tonight, right? And the Heart of the Stars diamond ring… you actually wanted to give it to Miss Bai Susu, didn’t you? Brother Ye Feng, it seems your goal has been achieved,” Gu Yunxiang said with a bitter smile.

She truly liked Ye Feng. But even before returning to Jinling, she had known that the person Ye Feng liked was Bai Susu. Although being used as a tool made her feel a bit uncomfortable, without it, she would not have been able to spend such a pleasant evening with him.

Gu Yunxiang admitted that her feelings were somewhat humble. Though it hurt, she was still happy.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Ye Feng felt speechless. He looked at her and suddenly asked, “Do you usually watch idol dramas?”

“Huh?” Now it was Gu Yunxiang’s turn to be confused. She honestly replied, “Sometimes. Do you watch them too, Brother Ye Feng? I can recommend a couple to you.”

“I don’t watch them. I just want to say, watching too many idol dramas lowers your intelligence!”

Ye Feng was completely speechless. The things Gu Yunxiang had just said sounded like something that could only come from someone who had watched dozens of those dramas. Such a waste of her high intelligence. He really did not know how she got into Yanjing University.

Feeling utterly exasperated, Ye Feng could not help but flick her forehead.

“Ah!” Gu Yunxiang covered her forehead and said pitifully, “Brother Ye Feng, that hurts.”

“It’s supposed to hurt. Don’t ask such silly questions again,” Ye Feng said seriously. “You are my official girlfriend. The clothes and the diamond ring were all for you. They have nothing to do with Bai Susu. Do you understand?”

“I understand,” Gu Yunxiang replied obediently, like a primary school student. Although her forehead still hurt a little, her heart felt as sweet as honey.

Who would have thought that Brother Ye Feng was actually a domineering CEO type? She loved it!

After sending Gu Yunxiang home, Ye Feng prepared to return home to rest.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for changing the original plotline and influencing the original novel. You have received 1000 Counterattack Points.]

[The host can exchange these points in the system store for the desired skills, items, attributes, and more.]

At that moment, the system’s voice sounded in his mind, and the store interface appeared as well.

With 1000 Counterattack Points as a tier, there were quite a few items available for exchange. After looking around, Ye Feng finally chose to exchange for a skill.

“According to the plotline, in a few days it will be Bai Susu’s father, Bai Jianhao’s 50th birthday.”

In the original plotline, several influential figures would attend Bai Jianhao’s birthday banquet. As a devoted pursuer, Ye Feng would naturally be present as well. Unfortunately, the one who would shine was not him, the young master, but Lin Yi, the poor student.

With his knowledge of calligraphy and paintings, Lin Yi would not only stand out but also gain the appreciation of the national painting master Yan Wenjing.

Yan Wenjing was famous across the entire country, with three thousand disciples under him, all pillars of society. It was no exaggeration to say that wherever Yan Wenjing went, he was treated as an honored guest.

Despite his great reputation, very few people actually recognized him. He could be considered a hidden tycoon.

The reason he would attend Bai Jianhao’s birthday banquet was purely because he happened to be in Jinling at the time and had a friend who had business dealings with Bai Jianhao. This was also Lin Yi’s opportunity and luck.

“Such a great counterattack opportunity, how could I miss it?”

“Lin Yi, as long as I’m around, you still think you can show off?”

Ye Feng smiled slightly, “System, exchange for Mastery of Calligraphy and Painting.”

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for acquiring Mastery of Calligraphy and Painting.]

[Mastery of Calligraphy and Painting: Grants knowledge of all calligraphy and painting related topics spanning two thousand years.]

Immediately, a vast amount of knowledge about calligraphy and painting flooded into Ye Feng’s mind.

“Wow, two thousand years… that goes all the way back to the Xin Dynasty of Wang Mang.”

“That’s a lot of information…”

After quite some time, Ye Feng finally managed to break free from the ocean of knowledge.

When he returned to the villa at home, his mother, Zhou Xuehua, had not gone to sleep yet. She was sitting on the living room sofa applying a face mask.

When she saw Ye Feng walk in, her gaze sharpened as she asked, “Why did you come back?”

“Mom, what kind of question is that? It’s so late. If I don’t come back to sleep, where else would I go?” Ye Feng said helplessly.

“Useless. If I were you, I wouldn’t come back tonight. Just find a hotel and make do with Yunxiang,” Zhou Xuehua said disdainfully.

“???” Ye Feng coughed and said, “Mom, what are you thinking? I’m still just a kid. I shouldn’t be thinking about those things.”

“You’re not young anymore. When I was your age, you were already walking.”

“Besides, if you don’t make any real progress with Yunxiang soon, I’ll be worried.”

“I read online that being a simp is actually a psychological illness. I’m afraid you won’t be able to control yourself and go back to groveling before Bai Susu again.”

“My son, what I fear most is that you’ll keep licking until the end, and end up getting stewed and eaten like dog meat!”

After Zhou Xuehua finished speaking earnestly, Ye Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

This imagination…

She must have watched idol dramas for twenty years straight!
