A Simp Wants to Become a Stray Dog

As night fell,

The moon was bright and the stars were few.

The Gao Household was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, and red carpets were laid out on the ground, creating a joyous and lively atmosphere.

The wedding was prepared hastily, but thanks to Master Gao's generous donation, it was anything but hasty; it was grand and dignified.

In a secluded little courtyard,

Gao Yunyi was sitting on a stone bench, gazing at the bright moon in the sky, enjoying a quiet drink alone.

The bright moon is beautiful.

But he,

Even more beautiful.

That bolt from the blue during the day was naturally his doing.

If it weren't for completing the mission, that lightning bolt wouldn't have struck the artificial hill, but rather that idiotic woman.

It almost prevented him from completing the mission.

Damn it.

Fortunately, things haven't gone astray. As long as Fu Yihang Fu Yihang ceremony tomorrow, his mission will be successfully accomplished.

And he was finally able to escape his misery.

Very nice,

We absolutely have to have a drink to celebrate.

Bright moon,

I'd like to raise a glass to you.

Gao Yunyi raised his wine glass slightly, offered a toast to the moon in the sky, and then tilted his head back to drink it.

Ancient wines had a low alcohol content, but tasted quite good.

Sudden,

Gao Yunyi, his hand holding the cup still.

His expression gradually darkened.

"Brother Gao, I've been searching everywhere for you, so you were hiding here!"

Fu Yihang's cheeky voice reached her ears, his tone tinged with a hint of reproachful laughter, yet unable to conceal the faint sorrow and confusion within.

"This place is nice, quiet and peaceful, unlike me, who's almost worked myself to death."

Fu Yihang plopped down next to Gao Yunyi, muttering complaints under his breath, and picked up the wine pot from the stone table, pouring himself a cup without the other's permission.

They still lack any sense of propriety or distance.

"Brother Gao, you have no idea how complicated it is to get married. There are the formalities of marriage, the preparation of the wedding room and the dowry, the preparation of the wedding sedan chair and music, and even trying on the wedding dress takes half a day. From noon until now, I haven't even had a bite to eat. I'm really exhausted."

Fu Yihang talked to himself, he tilted his head back and took a swig of wine.

Gao Yunyi didn't speak, but just looked at him Jingjing.

So, are you happy?

As if suddenly intrigued, Gao Yunyi asked a question.

"Happy? How could I not be happy? The four great joys of life are: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the wedding night, and passing the imperial examination. To be able to marry the one I love—how could I not be happy? Hahaha..."

Fu Yihang loud laugh, but his laughter was filled with bitterness and sorrow.

"Whatever makes you happy."

After saying that, Gao Yunyi didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere quieted down again.

"Oh, right, I completely forgot to return these boots to Brother Gao."

As he spoke, Fu Yihang bent down to take off his boots and return them to Gao Yunyi.

However, Gao Yunyi didn't even glance at it and said:

"No need to return it; consider it a wedding gift from me to you two."

Nonsense,

He's a germaphobe.

Why would a man want to go back to boots that have been worn by his smelly feet?

Besides,

This is just a regular piece of Common equipment; he has several other similar items in his inventory.

Upon hearing this,

Fu Yihang his shoes.

"Brother Gao, are you looking down on me?"

Fu Yihang Fu Yihang and looked at Gao Yunyi.

"No," Gao Yunyi said calmly.

Fu Yihang smiled wryly, "Although I am dull-witted, I am not stupid. Brother Gao, please don't try to fool me."

Gao Yunyi, "Yes."

Fu Yihang's expression froze.

"Brother Gao is very straightforward."

Fu Yihang's face showed no anger, only a sense of loss.

"Sigh... To be honest, I don't think much of myself either."

Fu Yihang sighed softly and said:

"Actually, I am not good enough for Xiuer. Xiuer deserves better. If Brother Gao agrees, I am willing..."

Fu Yihang didn't say the next sentence aloud because he saw the cold glint in Gao Yunyi's eyes.

You damn simp, get the hell away from me!

If you dare say the rest, I'll strike you dead with a bolt of lightning.

"Alright, let's pretend I didn't say that."

Startled and feeling a chill Fu Yihang immediately changed his words.

The atmosphere instantly fell silent again.

Disturbed, Gao Yunyi lost interest in drinking under the moon and slowly got up to return to his room.

"Brother Gao, I plan to participate in this year's Prefectural Examination."

Fu Yihang Gao Yunyi.

"I no longer want to live such a muddled life as before. Only today have I realized that love is not everything in life. I want to go out and see the world."

Holy crap!!

The simp has awakened.

I want to be a stray dog.

Gao Yunyi turned around and glanced at Fu Yihang, only then realizing that the other person seemed somewhat different from before.

His frivolous nature has softened, and he's become more composed.

That's just how men are, no matter how frivolous, impulsive, unreliable, or out of tune they usually are.

But once you've experienced one unforgettable event...

He will grow up overnight and transform into a real man.

It seems that Miss Gao's incident during the day had a huge impact on him, so much so that he was completely transformed and reborn in less than a night.

"Yes, it's fine."

Gao Yunyi unusually spoke a few words to Fu Yihang.

Therefore,

He was still quite pleased with the sycophant who had repented.

As for the scumbag behavior of abandoning his newlywed wife to have fun outside, Gao Yunyi not only doesn't condemn it, but actually welcomes it.

A woman like Miss Gao,

She doesn't deserve Fu Yihang simp like Fu Yihang at all.

Gao Yunyi was even looking forward to the scenario where his first sword strike after landing would be against his beloved.

It's quite exciting to think about.

Old Fu!

You have to prove yourself! You have to rise up!

"So..."

Fu Yihang paused for a moment, as if he had made a decision.

So what?

Gao Yunyi looked at him, curious about what earth-shattering, ambitious words the other would utter.

Like the sayings: "Thirty years west of the river, thirty years east of the river," and "Never underestimate a young person's potential."

"So... Brother Gao, could you please put in a good word with the Prefect and pull some strings to help me pass this year's Prefectural Examination?"

Fu Yihang asked shyly and awkwardly.

Gao Yunyi: "..."

Is this the grand, boastful talk you were going to give me?

"Brother Gao, I beg you. I know your family background is extraordinary, and you must know the Prefect. My request is not high; I just want to pass the exam and obtain the title of Xiucai."

Seeing that Gao Yunyi didn't speak, Fu Yihang pleaded pitifully.

"I know I am of limited talent and ability, and I will surely fail again if I rely on my true abilities. That's why I have no choice but to resort to this tactic. For the sake of our friendship, Brother Gao, please help me this time."

Gao Yunyi was almost laughing with anger. He took a deep breath to suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart.

He was wrong.

He was really wrong.

There shouldn't have been any expectation of Fu Yihang.

He's a lump of mud that can never be plastered on a wall; he deserves to stay in the mud pit forever, rotting and stinking.

"Roll--"

Gao Yunyi waved his sleeve and walked into the room without looking back.

"No, Brother Gao, please, Brother Gao!"

In the quiet and secluded courtyard, only Fu Yihang's agonizing cries echoed in the night sky.
