"I never thought you were this kind of person!"
"You gave me those Blood Qi Pills willingly, I never asked for them!"
"You're absolutely disgusting!"
As she spoke, Huang Xiaohui became increasingly agitated and angry. Her eyes reddened, and tears began streaming down her face. She looked at Chen Gong with utter disappointment and choked out, "Chen Gong, I was wrong about you. I can't believe you're the type to twist things around."
"Fine, you just want money, don't you?"
"Alright! Once I graduate from the Martial Arts Class, I'll pay you back!"
Huang Xiaohui continued crying as she spoke. She was thoroughly disgusted by Chen Gong's behavior. She had always been so kind to him, even showing concern when he brought her Blood Qi Pills.
But now... now he wanted to settle accounts just because she wouldn't be his girlfriend?
At this moment, a fashionably dressed female friend beside her consoled Huang Xiaohui while angrily shouting at Chen Gong: "Chen Gong! You've gone too far!"
"Until yesterday, our Xiaohui was still planning to pay you back for the Blood Qi Pills after graduation!"
"But you had to bring it up like this! How can you embarrass her like this!"
Just then, another voice rang out: "Wang Lan is right. Xiaohui is my woman now. You want money for the Blood Qi Pills? Fine!"
"I'll pay for her!"
Everyone turned to look.
The crowd immediately burst into excited chatter.
"Whoa! Senior Li Tao is here!"
"Wow! Senior Li Tao is so handsome!"
"Hey, does Senior Li Tao seem stronger than before?"
"Wait, why did Senior Li Tao say Huang Xiaohui is his girlfriend?"
Hearing the flattering voices, Li Tao responded with a smile: "Hehe, I've been in closed-door training these days and reached Mid Initiation Realm."
This announcement shocked everyone.
Mid Initiation Realm!
Senior Li Tao! How terrifying!
Upon seeing Li Tao's arrival, Huang Xiaohui's tears mysteriously vanished, and her eyes were no longer red.
She blushed like a shy maiden: "Senior Li Tao..."
"What you just said...."
Before she could finish, Li Tao stepped forward, domineeringly wrapped his arm around her shoulders, and smiled charmingly: "What, you don't agree?"
"I... I agree!"
Huang Xiaohui's heart melted instantly.
Li Tao nodded, then looked contemptuously at Chen Gong, whose expression had frozen in disbelief. He pulled out a bank card.
Slap!
He threw it in Chen Gong's face, sneering: "There's 100,000 in this card, the PIN is six 8s. Take it and get lost."
At these words, a hint of regret flashed in Huang Xiaohui's eyes.
She had never actually planned to pay Chen Gong back.
After all, he had bought those Blood Qi Pills willingly as her admirer, so why should she repay anything?
Thinking about how Chen Gong was getting 100,000 for nothing, Huang Xiaohui grew even more jealous and taunted: "Chen Gong, take the money and leave."
"Don't ever show your face around us again!"
She then snuggled into Li Tao's embrace: "Senior, you're so handsome."
"Hehe, it's nothing."
Chen Gong stared stiffly at the bank card on the ground.
He clenched his fists, his features contorted in pain.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Fine, if that's how it is."
"Then..."
He opened his eyes, a tear rolling down his cheek as he choked out: "We're done here!"
"And I don't want your money!"
With that, he left with tears in his eyes.
Leaving behind a group of people mocking him.
....
....
Outside the martial arts school campus.
Chen Gong walked along the road, his expression lost, unwilling, and pained.
Why did it turn out like this?
He had given his sincere heart, only to receive mockery and abuse in return.
And Huang Xiaohui, didn't you say you hated rich people the most...
But... today why did you...
Sigh...
What is love, really?
Was it because I wasn't good enough?
At this moment.
Swoosh.
A black car drove alongside Chen Gong, matching his pace.
Chen Gong noticed it but didn't care.
Who could possibly fill the emptiness in his heart now?
Whoosh—
The window rolled down.
Qin Luo leaned against the car door, looking Chen Gong up and down as he walked dejectedly.
Then, he smiled lightly: "Young master of Chen Martial Medicine."
"!!"
At these words.
Chen Gong whipped his head around, looking at Qin Luo in disbelief.
His pupils contracted: "You know me?"
Qin Luo nodded with a smile, his lips curving upward: "Interested in having a chat?"
"My master... happens to want to enter the pharmaceutical industry."
A moment later.
After chatting with Qin Luo for a while.
Chen Gong sat in the luxury car.
He sobbed, tears and mucus flowing: "Brother Luo, can you understand me?"
"I loved her for six years! A whole six years!! Because she said she wasn't the type to worship money and status!"
"So I never dared reveal my identity as a young master!"
"I only dared to give her the lowest-grade Blood Qi Pills from my family, afraid she'd realize I wasn't ordinary."
"But! But why after six whole years! After I treated her so well! Why did she treat me like this?"
"Brother Luo, I really don't understand, you know..."
Before he could finish.
Slap!!
"Ugh—!!"
A loud slap rang out.
The voice stopped abruptly.
Chen Gong's head jerked to the side, stunned.
He turned to look at this kind brother who had suddenly slapped him.
"Brother... Brother Luo?"
Before he could finish.
Slap!
"Shut up! Don't call me Brother Luo!"
Qin Luo slapped him again, exasperated: "Chen Gong, ah Chen Gong! You disappoint me so much!"
"You think this is love? Wrong!"
"You're being a backup plan! You're being a simp!"
"What is love?! Love is mutual pursuit!"
"When the other person respects you and gives equal love!! That's love!"
"You love them! They take it for granted! That's being a simp!"
"This principle applies not just to men! But to women too!"
"When either party only takes without giving, that! That's not love at all!"
With that.
Slap!
Qin Luo delivered another backhand slap.
He scolded: "Say it, say you're a simp."
Chen Gong held his face, his mind blank, his pupils shaking.
"I... I..."
Slap!
"Say it quickly!"
Chen Gong was slapped to tears, he choked out: "I'm a simp."
Slap!
"Louder!"
"I'm a simp!"
Slap!
"Not loud enough!"
"I'M A SIMP!!"
Slap!
"Say it several times in a row!!!"
"I'm a simp! I'm a simp! I'm a simp!! Wuwuwu!!"
Slap!
"No crying! Tell me! Do you want me to keep slapping you like this! Or go back to being a simp?"
"If you want to continue being a simp! Then I'll stop hitting you!"
Chen Gong's cheeks were swollen high, his mind in chaos from the slaps.
But.
Because of the continuous slapping.
He suddenly remembered.
Back then, Huang Xiaohui had slapped him the same way.
But he had thought it was love.
Now thinking back, it hurt, it really hurt.
But... compared to being slapped by others.
His previous love for Huang Xiaohui hurt his heart even more.
So... was I just being a simp all along?
Thinking of this, Chen Gong couldn't hold back anymore.
He cried out loudly: "Brother Luo!! Help me!!"
"I!!"
"I don't want to be a simp anymore!!"
As the words fell.
Qin Luo patted his shoulder with great satisfaction.
Then, as Chen Gong choked back tears, Qin Luo smiled: "Good, then join the foundation."
"I will help you... make your comeback!"
"Yes!"
"Oh right, send over a few truckloads of high-grade Blood Qi Pills, the foundation just started, so we need them for our members."
"Of course, Brother Luo! I'll do anything for you!!"

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
