It Seems Hard for Me, Fei Yangyao, to End Up Without Dying Here Today

Gu Xiyue was originally fuming, but she immediately lowered her gaze upon hearing the word "simpering sycophant".

She remembered that the two of them actually didn't seem to have any real relationship to speak of, merely wearing the false guise of a boyfriend and girlfriend.

His heart wasn't set on her anyway.

She hadn't truly won him over yet either.

What qualifications did she have to say anything?

If anything was truly to be said, wouldn't it have to wait until the day the two of them were genuinely together?

Otherwise, she would only end up with an empty shell.

What did it matter whether he proved himself or not?

Besides, he probably wasn't the kind of person to do such a thing, right?

Harboring this hope, Gu Xiyue lifted the breakfast box she had made for him and opened it while stopping him. "Don't call her. She must have been exhausted last night. I believe you."

Stopping was out of the question.

Young Master Fei shook A Jiu while casually replying, "What's she exhausted from? I was the one doing all the work yesterday except for last night, and I was tired out all day. She didn't have to do a thing, so how could she possibly be exhausted in just that little bit of time at night?" Of course, Young Master Fei was referring to the matter of arranging the doghouse.

"Last night... all day..." Gu Xiyue's expression collapsed. The picture was too vivid, and she didn't dare to keep imagining it. Her mind completely stopped responding for a moment, and she stood there frozen.

Young Master Fei discovered that waking this A Jiu up really took some effort. Just as he was starting to think she had passed out, A Jiu finally showed some reaction, opened her eyes, and woke up.

"You're awake? A Jiu, hurry up and..." Young Master Fei couldn't wait to make A Jiu get up and prove his innocence.

Right at that moment, an alarm clock rang.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

It was that most primitive call from the depths of the soul of a twenty-first-century working youth that thoroughly shocked Young Master Fei awake.

No!

No, no, no!

What on earth am I doing?

He suddenly realized this was an absolute prime opportunity.

The plot in the book required Gu Xiyue's boyfriend to be Ye Chen. Although it was fake at the start, at least that title had to be there.

Otherwise, Gu Xiyue's entire storyline would be completely gone.

If the main heroine's storyline of the whole book was gone, could this book even be saved?

Yet for some unknown reason, right from the beginning, he had accidentally become Gu Xiyue's boyfriend.

Gu Xiyue didn't acknowledge this boyfriend status, but he certainly had to accept it in his role as a simpering sycophant.

Yet while his persona yearned to be Gu Xiyue's boyfriend, the plot requirements meant he actually couldn't be Gu Xiyue's boyfriend.

This was extremely tangled and awkward.

He wanted to cut this karmic knot, but he couldn't initiate a breakup.

As for Gu Xiyue, nobody knew what was going on in her head. Although she considered their relationship not to be one of boyfriend and girlfriend...

She insisted on pursuing him instead.

She had no intention of breaking up, nor was a breakup possible.

As for Ye Chen, the only one who might break the deadlock, he was still locked up inside!

Things were at a total stalemate!

Yet right now, there was a god-sent opportunity.

Even if he had prepared in advance, he couldn't have set up such a perfect scene.

Under the current circumstances.

Gu Xiyue misunderstood him, thinking that something had happened between him and A Jiu. Under these conditions, could she not be driven mad with anger?

Would she still go after someone who appeared to be a simpering sycophant willing to give everything for her, but in reality was a scumbag whose private life was goodness knows how chaotic?

As for himself, objectively speaking, he was truly and genuinely innocent. This whole thing was just a misunderstanding; after all, he hadn't actively wanted A Jiu to lie down next to him.

After the breakup, when she and Ye Chen were already all happy and harmonious, he would find an opportunity to let her know that he had been misunderstood back then, and that Fei Yangyao's status as a simpering sycophant had never changed.

It was simply perfect!

In this way, his persona remained intact, and the goal of breaking up was also achieved. When the time came, turning dark would also be very fitting.

He was suddenly enlightened. This must be what Teacher Liang, who used to teach acting, meant when she said an actor ≠ a role, right?

Right now, if this goal was achieved, his character persona—the simpering sycophant—would be utterly flawless.

However, as for the actor, he could achieve his goal through certain methods of journalism.

Journalism, after all, meant that every word spoken was true, but not every truth was told. Putting these together formed the false truth that he desired.

After all, all of this combined the right time, favorable geographic conditions, and harmonious human factors to bring about this current scene.

At this moment, heaven seemed to be aiding him.

Young Master Fei casually tapped the alarm clock to turn it off, turned his back to Gu Xiyue, and stared nervously into the eyes of A Jiu, who was still dazed.

"A Jiu, I'm going to ask you a few questions. Answer directly, and you must tell the truth!"

A Jiu nodded, her voice still bearing the traces of a dream. "Mm, go ahead and ask. A Jiu will answer everything."

"Tell me, did we sleep together last night?"

"Mm, we slept together."

"No, that's not what I mean," Young Master Fei hurriedly corrected, his expression turning somewhat impatient. "I mean, did I... eat you last night?"

Young Master Fei was currently trying to play the part of someone who had lost his wits due to panic, acting as though he was desperately trying to prove himself, but actually making things worse the more he explained.

This question stunned A Jiu for a moment. Her eyes widened, clearly feeling perplexed by it. "Eat you? Have you eaten already?"

Still puzzled, she was about to stretch out both arms, glance to her left and right, and pull up her clothes to check if there was any urgent bite mark on her body.

Young Master Fei hurriedly pressed down on her hands. "Didn't eat, didn't eat."

Hearing this, a smile bloomed on A Jiu's face. "Oh, then you must remember to eat later~"

Terrific! This answer was completely perfect!

Rejoicing inwardly, isn't this already in the bag?

What does this mean? Isn't this implying what was said before about eating her?

A Jiu didn't know that what he meant by "eat" and what she meant by "eat" weren't the same thing, but Gu Xiyue didn't know that.

If this didn't make Gu Xiyue misunderstand, break off all ties with him, let the Golden Retriever take my seat, and let me eat the Golden Retriever's share instead!

What I'm thinking in my heart is one thing, but in reality, I still have to act out the full performance.

Young Master Fei turned his head around, looking timidly at Gu Xiyue, crying grievance with a look that wanted to weep without tears. "Xiyue, you have to believe me. The eating she's talking about really isn't that kind of eating."

Yet to his surprise, Gu Xiyue, who had just been furious, now wore only a calm expression.

Seeing him turn around, Gu Xiyue mustered up a smile. "Fei Yangyao, never mind all that. I believe you. Come and have breakfast."

Young Master Fei was dumbfounded.

Why are you still staying here?

Why aren't you getting angry and storming off?

You clearly don't believe it.

Your smile is completely fake, I can see right through it, you jerk!

"Xiyue, don't be mad. It really was a misunderstanding."

"I believe you. Besides, even if I didn't believe you, I have no right to control you anyway. We aren't anything to each other."

"What do you mean we aren't anything? We're a couple! I'm your simpering sycophant!"

"Then I definitely believe you, so let's put that aside for now and eat your breakfast first."

Looking at those "dark dishes" in the opened meal box that were not the least bit different from before, Young Master Fei gulped and swallowed hard.

It seems hard for me, Fei Yangyao, to end up without dying here today.
