Gu Xiyue was initially furious, but upon hearing the word "simp," her eyes immediately drooped.

She remembered that she and he didn't actually have any real relationship; they were just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

His heart wasn't with her anyway.

She hadn't truly won him over either.

What right did she have to say anything?

If anything were to be said, it should wait until they were genuinely together, right?

Otherwise, it would just be chasing a facade.

What did it matter if he proved himself or not?

Besides, he probably wasn't the type of person to do that, was he?

With this hope, Gu Xiyue picked up the breakfast box she had made for him, opened it, and stopped him, "Don't call her. She must be exhausted from last night. I believe you."

Stopping was impossible.

Young Master Fei shook his head and replied nonchalantly, "What's she tired from? Apart from last night, I was the one busy all day. I'm tired, she didn't have to do anything, just that little bit of time last night, how could she be exhausted?" Of course, Young Master Fei was referring to setting up the dog house.

"Last night... all day..." Gu Xiyue's expression crumbled. The scene was too beautiful to imagine, she dared not think about it further, her mind instantly went blank, and she froze.

Young Master Fei found that it really took some effort to shake A Jiu awake. Just as he was about to think she had died, A Jiu finally reacted and opened her eyes.

"You're awake? A Jiu, hurry..." Young Master Fei was eager for A Jiu to get up and prove his innocence.

Just then, the alarm clock rang.

"Ring ring ring..."

It was this most primal call from the depths of the soul of a 21st-century working youth that thoroughly awakened Young Master Fei.

Wrong!

No, no, no!

What was he doing?

He suddenly realized this was an excellent opportunity.

According to the plot of the book, Gu Xiyue's boyfriend was Ye Chen. Although it was fake at first, he at least had that title.

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

If the book's main female lead storyline disappeared, could the book still be salvaged?

But for some reason, from the very beginning, he had accidentally become Gu Xiyue's boyfriend.

Gu Xiyue didn't acknowledge him as her boyfriend, but as a simp, he certainly had to.

However, his persona was to desperately want to be Gu Xiyue's boyfriend, yet in reality, according to the plot, he couldn't be.

This was very awkward.

He wanted to end this karmic entanglement, but he couldn't break up.

And Gu Xiyue, for reasons unknown, even though she didn't consider them boyfriend and girlfriend.

She still came to pursue him.

She couldn't break up, and it was impossible for her to break up.

As for Ye Chen, the only one who could resolve this, he was still stuck inside!

This was a stalemate!

But now, there was a heaven-sent opportunity.

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

In this situation.

Gu Xiyue misunderstood him, thinking something had happened between him and A Jiu. In this case, wouldn't she go crazy with anger?

In this situation, would she still pursue someone who appeared to be a simp, willing to do anything for her, but was actually a scumbag with a potentially chaotic private life?

And he, objectively speaking, was truly pure. This was all just a misunderstanding. After all, he hadn't actively asked A Jiu to lie down.

After breaking up, when she and Ye Chen were already getting along harmoniously, he would find an opportunity to let her know that he had been misunderstood back then, and Fei Yangyao's status as a simp had never changed.

It was simply perfect!

This way, his persona would be solidified, and his goal of breaking up would be achieved. Then, his blackening would also be fitting.

He suddenly realized that this must be what Teacher Liang, who had taught him acting before, had meant by actor ≠ role, right?

Now, if this goal was achieved, his persona in the role—a simp—would be flawless.

But as an actor, he could use certain journalistic methods to achieve his goals.

Journalism meant that all words were true, but not all truths were spoken. Together, this formed the false reality he desired.

After all, everything—the timing, the location, and the people—had come together to create this current scene.

At this moment, he felt as if he had divine assistance.

Young Master Fei casually turned off the alarm, carried Gu Xiyue on his back, and stared intently at A Jiu, who was still groggy.

"A Jiu, I'm going to ask you a few questions. Just answer them directly and truthfully!"

A Jiu nodded, her voice still carrying the traces of sleep. "Mhm, ask away. A Jiu will answer everything."

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

"Mhm, we slept together."

"No, that's not what I meant," Young Master Fei quickly corrected, his expression becoming a little anxious. "I mean, did I... eat you last night?"

Young Master Fei was currently trying to play the part of someone who had lost their mind due to the chaos, as if desperately trying to prove himself, but in reality, he was only digging himself deeper.

The question made A Jiu pause. Her eyes widened, clearly confused by the question. "Eat you? Did you already eat me?"

Confused, she was about to spread her arms, look left and right, and lift her clothes to check if there were any urgent marks.

Young Master Fei quickly grabbed her hands. "No, no, I didn't eat you."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on A Jiu's face. "Oh, then make sure you remember to eat me later~"

Excellent! This answer is perfect!

He rejoiced inwardly. Isn't this a sure thing now?

What does this mean? Doesn't this imply that he said he would eat her before?

A Jiu didn't know that her "eat" and his "eat" were not the same thing, but Gu Xiyue didn't know that.

If Gu Xiyue misunderstands this, breaks up with me, and lets that blonde guy take my spot, I'll eat that blonde guy's share!

He thought these things in his heart, but in reality, he still had to put on a show.

Young Master Fei turned his head, looking timidly at Gu Xiyue, and cried out in injustice, almost in tears, "Xiyue, you have to believe me! Her 'eating' is really not that kind of 'eating'."

However, to his surprise, Gu Xiyue, who had been very angry just moments ago, was now completely calm.

Seeing him turn around, Gu Xiyue forced a smile. "Fei Yangyao, don't worry about those things. I believe you. Come, let's eat breakfast."

Young Master Fei was stunned.

Why are you still here?

You're not angry and leaving?

You clearly don't believe me.

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

"Xiyue, don't be angry. It's really a misunderstanding."

"I believe you. Besides, even if I didn't believe you, I wouldn't be able to control you, would I? We're not... anything."

"Not anything? We're a couple! I'm your simp!"

"Then of course I believe you. So let's not worry about that for now. You should eat your breakfast first."

Looking at the "dark cuisine" in the opened lunchbox, which looked exactly the same as before, Young Master Fei gulped.

It seems I, Fei Yangyao, won't be able to escape unscathed today.
