What a Guy, a Purebred Simp!

Zhang Lexuan's voice caught Dai Yueheng off guard. He froze, then asked in a trembling voice:

"L-Lexuan? Is that you? What happened? Did that bastard bully you?"

The moment he said that, Xu Tianming nearly lost it.

Seriously? Just a few hours ago, Zhang Lexuan had publicly suppressed him in the street, and he could still bring himself to call her "Sister Lexuan"?

How exactly was this man's brain wired?

Could this be the legendary love-struck brain?

Xu Tianming didn't understand. Xu Tianming was confused. Xu Tianming was shocked. Then, Xu Tianming suddenly had a bold idea. He immediately leaned close to Zhang Lexuan's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing them, Zhang Lexuan's eyes widened, her gaze at Xu Tianming filled with disbelief.

"No, no, we can't do that! If you really want to... at least go back to your room first..."

"What are you afraid of? No one will come by at this hour. No one will see us."

"But... ah! No means no! Don't go too far!"

Listening to the highly suggestive exchange between Xu Tianming and Zhang Lexuan, Dai Yueheng felt as though someone was scratching at his heart, leaving him unbearably itchy and agitated.

He desperately wanted to see for himself what his beloved Sister Lexuan was doing right now, but unfortunately, the blindfold covering his eyes was specially made. Without the proper key, it would take a full-force strike from a Soul King at minimum to forcibly destroy it.

"Too far? How have I gone too far? Isn't this what you've always wanted?"

Before she realized it, Zhang Lexuan's cheeks had turned completely red. She didn't want to keep talking to Xu Tianming, because she had realized that doing so would only make her fall deeper into his vortex without noticing. Right now, the best choice was to get away from here.

Her intentions were good, but without using soul power, she truly couldn't break free from Xu Tianming's embrace. Left with no choice, she raised her delicate fists in warning.

"Let me go! Otherwise... don't blame me for being rude!"

Although Zhang Lexuan had spoken very quietly, Dai Yueheng, who had already pricked up his ears, still caught most of it.

That playboy was getting handsy with Sister Lexuan right in front of him!

At that thought, Dai Yueheng's fury surged again. He shouted himself hoarse.

"Beast! You beast, stay away from Sister Lexuan! Whatever grievances you have, take them out on me! Don't make things difficult for Sister Lexuan!"

Hearing that, Xu Tianming not only didn't stop, but became even more excessive than before, deliberately targeting Zhang Lexuan's sensitive spots and making her breaths grow steadily louder.

After letting out two strange chuckles, Xu Tianming said bluntly, "I just love seeing enemies who can't stand me, yet can't do a thing about me! It'd be even better if they barked out a few more impotent rages. To me, the helpless fury of losers is like them acting cute toward me—weak and powerless! As seasoning for an otherwise dull life, it's simply delicious!"

His words left both Zhang Lexuan and Dai Yueheng speechless.

There was actually someone like this in the world?

Even evil soul masters probably weren't this twisted!

More terrifyingly, both of them had now fallen into this pervert's hands, unable to escape.

Sensing that the atmosphere had suddenly turned strange, Xu Tianming realized that his words had probably frightened the two of them.

Still, it was no big deal. Just a minor issue.

After clearing his throat twice, Xu Tianming's expression became more serious. He released the arm around Zhang Lexuan, intending to speak with Dai Yueheng for a moment. Yet to his surprise, Zhang Lexuan did not quickly get up and leave as he had expected. Instead, she remained nestled in his arms without moving.

Women really are impossible to understand...

After muttering that to himself, Xu Tianming didn't think much of it. Since this woman was used to hugging him, he could magnanimously let her take advantage of him. He would consider it a reward for her obedience today.

"Earlier, you asked whether I knew your identity. Now I'll give you a chance. Start with a simple introduction—begin with your name."

Upon hearing Xu Tianming's voice, Dai Yueheng immediately clenched his teeth.

Since everything he said sounded like he was acting cute, why not just keep his mouth shut and say nothing?

Shrek Academy would find out sooner or later that something had happened to him. He firmly believed that as long as he could hold on until Shrek Academy's experts arrived, he would surely be able to wash away today's humiliation completely!

And if he couldn't hold on until then...

Then death was all there was to it!

As the heir of the White Tiger Duke's Estate and a student of the Shrek Inner Court, he, Dai Yueheng, would never fear life or death!

With his status, if he died in the Sun Moon Empire, countless people would surely be buried alongside him!

With that thought in mind, Dai Yueheng made up his mind. No matter what the playboy said next, he would not respond!

Yet Xu Tianming saw through his thoughts at a glance.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're already grown up, yet you're playing this childish little game of refusing to confess out of spite."

His thoughts having been exposed, Dai Yueheng felt somewhat embarrassed, but he still gritted his teeth and remained silent.

At this moment, he was rather glad that his eyes were shrouded in darkness and he couldn't see anything. That way, he could deceive himself into believing there was nothing around him and treat it all as a dream.

Xu Tianming probably knew Dai Yueheng's background better than Dai Yueheng himself.

The only reason he was asking such questions now was to go through the motions, so that if someone later questioned the source of his information, he would have an explanation.

"Still not talking? Fine. Just because you won't talk doesn't mean others won't!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Tianming raised his hand and slapped Zhang Lexuan's shapely rear. The crisp sound rang out, striking Dai Yueheng like a thunderbolt.

"Speak! What's this kid's name?"

Ever since they met, Dai Yueheng had called out "Sister Lexuan" again and again. Other than admitting at the beginning that he was a Shrek Inner Court student, he had never voluntarily stated his own name.

As a result, Zhang Lexuan genuinely did not know the answer. She simply admitted it honestly.

"I... I don't know."

But that answer deeply moved Dai Yueheng.

"Just as I thought! Sister Lexuan had her reasons for everything she did earlier!"

"How else could one explain why Sister Lexuan was helping hide my identity right now?"

Noticing the corners of Dai Yueheng's mouth involuntarily curving upward, Xu Tianming froze for a moment. Only after connecting the events before and after did he barely guess what Dai Yueheng was thinking. He almost couldn't help giving him a thumbs-up.

He had always thought the stories about simps were absurd, but he had never expected to encounter a genuine one himself today.

Xu Tianming immediately decided to show some kindness and make this simp properly understand the consequences of being a simp!
