Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Simp Trap
"Shit, it’s already past 10. If I don’t reply soon, Cora’s definitely going to be pissed!" Evan felt anxious as he looked at the time.
Before he got married, whenever he was chatting with a girl on Tinder and things got heated at night, he would immediately ask to meet up. They would grab some late-night food, then either fuck in the car or go straight to a hotel.
But now that he was married, going out at night was basically impossible. So Evan could only try to meet girls during the day while Sophia was at work.
According to his plan, he absolutely could not ignore Cora. He had to stay highly available and reply to her messages quickly at all times.
Evan: Sorry beautiful! I just saw your messages! I only just woke up! You misunderstood! How could I not want to reply to you!
Evan typed out a long explanation and was about to send it when the system suddenly stopped him and gave a new prompt.
[Tip: Host has entered the Simp Trap. Times have changed. If you keep trying to please women and lick their boots, you’ll only end up as their backup and ATM. Show some attitude instead. Let her feel your value and status. That way she’ll respect you more and pay more attention to you.]
[After intense chatting, pulling back for a while can make her feel anxious and uncertain. She might even lower her pride and start chasing you instead!]
[The biggest taboo in picking up women is accidentally becoming a simp. If you turn yourself into a simp, you’ll lose everything.]
Reading the system’s warning, Evan immediately realized his mistake.
The system was completely right.
He thought about all the situations he had seen before, and all the good men in real life who got treated like backups and ATMs by toxic women.
Meanwhile, the bad boys and players always had more women than they could handle.
These women would spend the good man’s money, enjoy his endless licking and care, while at the same time acting like horny bitches and giving their bodies to the bad boys for free.
Evan used to never understand why.
But now, after the system’s reminder, everything suddenly became crystal clear!
Just like most simps, he had been brainwashed by TV dramas and those sad romance novels.
The TV shows he grew up watching were always about a good guy who chased a goddess with deep, touching love and endless care. At first the goddess didn’t like him, but in the end she was moved by all his licking and they lived happily ever after.
Some shows were even worse — the male lead would lick the female lead so hard he would do anything for her, even risk his life or give up everything. But while dating him, the female lead would still cheat on him with some asshole, sometimes more than once.
When the male lead caught her, instead of getting angry, he would cry and beg her not to leave, saying he could pretend nothing happened.
Then the female lead would still heartlessly dump him and go be with the bad boy.
In the end, when the bad boy got tired of her and ruined her body, she would come crawling back to the male lead. And the ending? They lived happily ever after again.
Thinking about those shows now... what a load of bullshit!
TV was full of this kind of brainwashing garbage. No wonder this generation was full of simps, and women became more and more toxic and arrogant.
Even the prostitutes started raising their prices. From $50 a time to $1000 a time!
If he thought about it from the other side, Evan realized men were the same.
The things you can’t easily get always feel the best. The easier a woman is to get, the less men treasure her.
On the contrary, toxic women were the ones most men went crazy over.
It was just human nature.
All those perfect happy endings in TV shows were just the wet dreams of screenwriters and those pathetic romance writers. Maybe completely against real human nature.
After understanding this, Evan’s mindset changed immediately.
Looking at Cora’s messages, he only replied casually: Just woke up. You’re up so early? I had insomnia last night...
Then Evan stopped explaining and closed his phone to get up and wash.
After washing up, he opened his phone again.
Cora: Are you a pig? Sleeping until now? What were you doing last night?
Cora: Don’t you have to work?
Cora: Why are you ignoring me again?
Cora: Are you not going to work today?
Cora: Hey! Say something! Where are you?
Seeing Cora’s string of messages, Evan smiled smugly and replied casually: I’m a freelancer. I’m usually free and don’t need to go to work.
Cora: What do you do? Sounds so free.
Cora replied right away, but Evan didn’t rush to answer. He closed his phone again and quietly listened at Mia’s bedroom door.
Mia’s shoes were still in the hallway, so she hadn’t left yet. But there was no sound from inside her room. She probably drank too much last night and was still asleep.
Evan checked the time — already 11 AM, almost lunchtime. He knocked on the door and asked, "Mia, are you up? Let’s go eat."
Evan really wanted to see how Mia was doing and how close she felt to him now.
Last night he had done something very dirty to her. He was still worried she might remember.
"You eat. I don’t want to," Mia’s annoyed voice came through the door.
Evan scratched his head awkwardly. Mia’s attitude toward him was still terrible!
Did she remember what happened last night? Was she conscious?
No... if Mia remembered what he did to her, she would be furious. With her explosive temper, she would’ve already come out and slapped him.
Just then, Emma heard the noise and came upstairs from the second floor.
