Chapter 0062: The Simp Trap
"Ahhh... So comfortable!..."
The warm sunlight streamed through a gap in the curtains, illuminating the bedroom. Li Bin stretched contentedly and climbed out of bed.
He glanced at the alarm clock on the nightstand. It was already past 10 AM.
Last night, his wife Wanwen had taken the initiative, leading to a passionate and thorough release. As a result, Li Bin felt refreshed and invigorated when he woke up.
On the nightstand, there was also a lovingly prepared breakfast from his wife.
Today, Wanwen had made sushi.
Li Bin couldn't even be bothered to get up and brush his teeth. He just grabbed a piece and popped it into his mouth, chewing with satisfaction.
It was delicious, just like his wife had been last night, making Li Bin feel that passion and freshness all over again.
Ever since he got the System, everything had truly been moving in a positive direction.
Life was like a gloomy day turning sunny, suddenly filled with light and anticipation.
Every day was so full of passion!
As he ate the breakfast Wanwen prepared, Li Bin picked up his phone and glanced at it.
Qiao Shanshan: Good morning!
Qiao Shanshan: What are you up to?
Qiao Shanshan: Why are you ignoring me?
There were three unread messages, all from Qiao Shanshan.
They had been sent just after 9 AM.
"Damn, it's already past ten. I didn't reply in time, Qiao Shanshan is definitely going to be angry!" Li Bin saw the time and immediately felt a pang of anxiety.
Before, when Li Bin used WeChat to hook up, he always struck while the iron was hot. If the chat was fiery at night, he'd directly suggest meeting up. After a late-night snack, they'd either have sex in the car or get a room.
But now, after getting married, it was impossible to easily go out at night. So, Li Bin could only use the daytime, when his wife Wanwen was at work, for his hookups.
Therefore, according to Li Bin's plan, he absolutely could not neglect Qiao Shanshan. He had to remain on high alert, ready to reply to her at any moment.
Li Bin: So sorry, beautiful! I just saw your messages! I just woke up! Don't get the wrong idea! How could I ever ignore you!
Li Bin immediately typed out a long string of explanations. Just as he was about to send it, the System stopped him again and sent a notification.
[Notification: The Host has entered the Simp Trap. Times have changed. To pursue a woman by only trying to please and grovel will, in the end, only make you her shameless backup option and ATM. By playing it cool and letting her sense your nobility and value, you will instead earn her greater respect and attention.]
[Properly 'freezing' her after a period of intense chatting can create the illusion in her that she's losing you, and it might even make her lower her own guard! She will start to cater to you and try to please you!]
[The biggest taboo in picking up girls is unknowingly falling into the Simp Trap! Turning yourself into a simp will only make you lose everything!]
Seeing the System's notification, Li Bin immediately realized his mistake.
What the System said was absolutely correct!
He thought about his past experiences and the 'good men' in life who were strung along by 'scummy women' as backups and ATMs.
Meanwhile, the players and scoundrels had an endless supply of beautiful women to sleep with.
These women would spend the money of the good men who deeply loved them, enjoying their groveling and care, while at the same time, they would selflessly offer their bodies to those scumbags like bitches in heat!
Li Bin had never been able to understand why this was the case.
But now, with the System's prompt, it was as if a sudden enlightenment had dawned on him!
He, like most simps, had been deceived by TV dramas and those sentimental youth novels!
The TV dramas of his generation mostly depicted a good male lead using a heaven-moving, earth-shattering love and devotion to pursue a goddess.
The goddess would initially look down on the male lead, but in the end, she would still be moved by his groveling, and the two would walk off happily into the sunset.
Even worse, some dramas were so shameless as to show the male lead groveling in every way, treating the female lead so well it was earth-shattering, even willing to give up his life for her, to abandon everything for her.
But the female lead would still cheat on him with other scumbags while they were dating, and not just once.
After being caught by the male lead, he shockingly wouldn't hold her accountable. He would even cry and beg her not to leave him, saying he could pretend nothing ever happened!
Then, the female lead would heartlessly dump the male lead to be with the scumbag.
Finally, after the scumbag got tired of playing with her, and her body was ruined, she would turn around and come back to the male lead. And then, the ending would be the two of them happily together again!
Thinking about it now, those kinds of TV dramas were so damn melodramatic!
TV was flooded all day long with these dramas. Books by self-abusive morons like Guo Jingming could become bestsellers.
Putting himself in their shoes, Li Bin realized, weren't men the same way?
What you can't have is always the best. The more easily a woman is obtained, the less a man will cherish her.
On the contrary, it's the 'scummy women' who are beloved by most men! Men fall head over heels for them!
This was fucking human nature!
Those happy endings in TV dramas were all the fucking wishful fantasies of hack screenwriters and idiotic 'literature' writers! It was completely against human nature!
A simp who licks and grovels will end up with nothing in the end!
