Chapter 8 Cheated On by the Scum for the 101st Time 8

Chapter 8: The 101st Time Getting Cheated On by the Scumbag 8

A week flew by, the National Day holiday ended, and Yan Bai had mostly recovered. Now he was back in action!

The two of them drove to school together in Yan Bai's car.

His flashy limited-edition sports car was quite famous on campus.

Just as they parked in the lot, a few people crowded around. They had also just driven back to school and were Yan Bai's classmates.

They were all notable rich kids in the capital, all majoring in finance.

A few of them greeted him:

"Yan Bai, couldn't find you these past few days, didn't reply to messages either. What have you been up to?"

"Yeah, did you go abroad again?"

"But there's signal even overseas. Did you go to some bizarre place?"

Yan Bai paused. The place he went was indeed pretty bizarre!

He had seen the pile of messages from these jokers on his phone, all just inviting him to drink or hit the bars—boring stuff Yan Bai couldn't be bothered to reply to.

He answered dismissively:

"Went into seclusion for some cultivation."

That's when the group finally noticed Ye Chen, who had gotten out of the car a step behind him. Immediately, there was a chorus of jeers:

"Ye Chen, why did you come in Yan Bai's car? Are you two really dating?"

"Ye Chen, get your head straight. He Zixuan and Yan Bai are just having a little lovers' spat; they'll make up in a couple of days. What's the point of you getting involved now?"

"Haha, Yan Bai, are you messing with Ye Chen again? Be careful, He Zixuan will get angry!"

"Ding?! Warning! Warning! Detected target character's villain blackening value +2!"

"Ding?! Warning! Warning! Detected target character's villain blackening value +3!"

"Ding?! Current villain blackening value: 79.99%!"

Yan Bai: "……"

Hiss—

Why do people have to run their mouths so much? This is affecting my mission!

Ye Chen's face grew darker and darker. Faced with this rapidly rising blackening value, Yan Bai was also at a complete loss for words and quickly spoke up:

"Let me introduce you all to my boyfriend, Ye Chen."

The continuously soaring blackening value finally stopped, and there were no more system prompts.

The surrounding noise instantly quieted down, only to be followed by an even more deafening silence. Then, after a moment, there was a burst of uproarious laughter:

"Yan Bai, don't take the joke too far. You won't be able to take it back later."

"He Zixuan is here!"

"Wow! Yan Bai, your official boyfriend is here!"

Yan Bai was mortified. Talk about bad timing!

Damn it! I hope the villain doesn't increase his blackening value!

Yan Bai followed everyone's gaze and saw two people walking over from ahead. Both were good-looking, one slightly taller, the other a bit shorter.

The two were chatting and laughing, the atmosphere harmonious and pleasant.

The taller one was his annoying ex-boyfriend, He Zixuan.

According to the original host's memories, the one beside him was Yan Bai's "best friend," Lin Yizhou—the little white flower protagonist shou who secretly harmed him.

Hearing someone call his name, He Zixuan looked up and saw a group of familiar faces.

He naturally spotted Yan Bai at first glance and immediately walked over to him as if nothing had happened, his attitude extremely natural:

"Bai, are you still mad at me? Stop fooling around, let's make up, okay?"

Lin Yizhou, who was following beside him, had a smile on his face that instantly stiffened, his gaze toward He Zixuan pleading.

How could He Zixuan ask Yan Bai to get back together right in front of him, especially after having kissed him?

Ye Chen also instantly became alert, straightening his back and watching Yan Bai's expression.

The onlookers around them quieted down.

According to past patterns, Yan Bai would immediately throw himself into He Zixuan's arms, and then He Zixuan would mock Ye Chen. It always happened that way.

Everyone was waiting...

But this time, Yan Bai's expression was calm:

"I told you last time that breaking up was real. Stay away from me from now on."

He Zixuan was taken aback, completely not expecting this attitude, but he didn't take it too seriously:

"Bai, come on, I was wrong. I got you a gift."

After saying this, He Zixuan took out a delicate little box from his pocket, which looked like a watch from a certain luxury brand.

Seeing such an expensive gift, Lin Yizhou's eyes almost burned with envy, but he hid it extremely well.

He immediately chimed in:

"Wow! Zixuan is so generous. Bai, don't act like a child anymore. If you don't want such a good boyfriend, there are plenty of people lining up behind you."

Yan Bai turned his gaze to Lin Yizhou, his smile ambiguous and somewhat mocking:

"Are you also one of the people in that line? Since you like him so much, hurry up and confess. I won't stand in the way of your good fortune."

Lin Yizhou's face flushed with embarrassment. He nervously glanced at He Zixuan and said reproachfully to Yan Bai:

"Yan Bai, you're my best friend. How can you tease me and Zixuan like that?

You really misunderstood last time. There's nothing between me and Zixuan."

Yan Bai sneered,

"If nothing was going on, why were you two all over each other, lips locked and everything? Still claim it's nothing?"

The people around them looked a bit weird, eyeing Lin Yizhou curiously.

He Zixuan just stood there without a word, acting like it was none of his business.

He actually got a kick out of people fighting over him, especially someone as outstanding in looks and family background as Yan Bai.

As long as the heat wasn't on him, he was fine.

Lin Yizhou was mortified but could only grit his teeth and face the music alone.

"We did hug that day, but it was just a brotherly hug. We really didn’t kiss. It was just the angle you saw it from—an optical illusion."

Yan Bai scoffed, genuinely impressed by his ability to lie through his teeth.

Yan Bai showed a message from He Zixuan’s WeChat to those around.

"Bai, don't be mad. That day you saw me and Lin Yizhou kissing, he made the first move."

"He’s your best friend. It would've been rude to push him away, right?"

"We’re the real deal; everyone else is just temporary."

The message was quite explosive, and everyone's faces were a picture.

Lin Yizhou felt like dying. How was this any better than a public execution?

What hurt him even more was the tone He Zixuan used when chatting with Yan Bai—so casual and dismissive toward him.

He Zixuan had never cared about him at all!

Yan Bai paid no attention to his expression, speaking lightly.

"You don’t need to explain to me. Whether you kissed or not, and who initiated it—what does it have to do with me?"

"Actually, I think you two are quite a match. Why don’t you just get together?"

Everyone had seen He Zixuan’s message. Lin Yizhou looked like a clown, nailed to the wall, unable to explain himself any further.

He Zixuan was pretty embarrassed, not understanding why Yan Bai had suddenly changed so drastically and made things so ugly.

Although Lin Yizhou had indeed initiated it, He Zixuan hadn't gotten with him yet and still had some interest, so he had to step in to defend him.

"Bai, let’s keep our issues between us. Nothing really happened between Lin Yizhou and me."

Yan Bai’s barrage had already humiliated both of them, and he couldn’t be bothered to deal with them further.

"Don’t call me that anymore—it’s disgusting. I’ll say it again: what happens between you two has nothing to do with me. Don’t talk to me about it."

"We’ve broken up. From now on, if you see me, make yourself scarce. Don’t come looking for trouble. My boyfriend isn't afraid to throw a punch!"

After saying this, Yan Bai took Ye Chen’s hand and walked forward.

Ye Chen glanced back at He Zixuan, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

He Zixuan was furious.

"Ye Chen! How dare you!"

He Zixuan stepped in front of Yan Bai, his expression dark.

"Bai, we can argue, but let’s not make things too ugly. How could this broke nobody possibly be worthy of you?"

Ye Chen’s expression also darkened. Yan Bai looked at He Zixuan impatiently.

"He's got the looks, the build, and the skills. How is he not worthy of me? And what gives you the right to judge him?"

He Zixuan grabbed Yan Bai’s other hand.

"Bai, I’m giving you one last chance. Come back to me!"

Yan Bai shook off He Zixuan’s hand, wiping it on his clothes with a disgusted expression, shaking his head and sighing.

"Such a leech!"

Yan Bai turned back, wrapped his arms around Ye Chen’s neck, pulled his head down, and kissed him on the lips.

A soft gasp went through the crowd. After Yan Bai pulled back, Ye Chen immediately cupped the back of his head with one hand, pushed his tongue past his lips, and delved inside.

Yan Bai froze. Ye Chen’s eyes were deep as ink, filled with countless emotions.

Yan Bai was too stunned to react, quickly overwhelmed by Ye Chen’s invasion.

The kiss was too intense…
