My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 253 - 224: Exposed?

"If it's broken, I'll buy you a new one!"

Su Yumei snatched it up, immediately turned the phone volume to the maximum, and pressed the phone speaker to her ear to listen for a while, feeling even more certain.

"By the way, honey, look at that guy singing in the video."

Zhou Kai said casually, "He looks kind of familiar, quite like the guy we just saw, your classmate's boyfriend."

"Really?!"

Su Yumei's eyes lit up, "Where?"

Speaking, she quickly checked the phone screen, dragging the video progress bar.

Zhou Kai said irritably, "Meeting a handsome guy made you forget your own last name, huh? In the middle and near the end of the video, he's playing the guitar, looks pretty similar, and the height seems about right."

"The battle drum beats~ with trust..."

Su Yumei dragged the progress bar and finally found two scenes where Li Peifeng appeared in the video, totaling about four or five seconds, very clear, with close-ups of both his figure and face, enough for Su Yumei to recognize...

"It's him!!"

Su Yumei exclaimed, "It's definitely him, that look, that voice, no mistake!"

Zhou Kai hummed with a laugh, "And then what? You gonna add his Douyin and DM him?"

"Don't be silly, he's my friend's boyfriend. I saw she wanted to keep it hidden and wasn't willing to introduce him much, which made me curious... Oh, turns out he's doing short videos?"

"He should be," Zhou Kai nodded, "He's doing pretty well, a few recent videos have over a million likes."

Su Yumei clicked on the video author's page and found something wrong: "Is this a duet with someone else? What's his own Douyin account?"

"In the video description, I think they @ his account."

With Zhou Kai's reminder, Su Yumei successfully clicked on the 'Li Dafeng' Douyin account, saw there were merely a dozen videos, and started checking them one by one...

"How about using your phone?" Zhou Kai felt a tinge of jealousy, "If you want to watch, use your own, not mine."

"Oh, don't nag, just borrowing it for a while."

Su Yumei impatiently waved her hand, clicked open 'Li Dafeng's' videos one by one, and after watching the first video from two years ago, 'Li Dafeng' showing off in a selfie in his daily life, nodded slightly.

"His skin wasn't very good back then."

After watching the second one, she looked at the bottom of the comments section filled with requests for more updates, learned more about 'Li Dafeng', and found out his pen name was 'One or Two Winds Among Humans'...

"So he's a web writer too?"

The third video was 'Li Dafeng' showing off his muscles at the gym, which Su Yumei watched twice despite Zhou Kai's interference...

"Why don't you crawl into the phone and check him out up close!"

"Alright, alright, I'm already a mom, so what's wrong with watching? Keep talking and when we get home, you owe me!"

Zhou Kai swallowed his saliva, remaining silent.

"Not talking? Not talking but you still owe me!"

Su Yumei pouted, routinely opened the comments, and found nothing except a bunch of female perverts.

The third, fifth, sixth... From the video info and comments, Su Yumei finally learned that 'Li Dafeng's' real name was... Li Peifeng!

Li's name was leaked.

Finally, Su Yumei clicked on the latest video, where Li Peifeng was playing the guitar and singing a love song at home. Since this was filmed after a duet with Wu Wenyue, Li Peifeng shot and posted it in his leisure time, so the video had over twenty thousand likes and more than ten thousand comments, being the best in terms of engagement on the 'Li Dafeng' page.

Su Yumei enjoyed the singing, routinely opened the comments section, carefully explored, trying to find more information...

"(Kiss kiss) My Feng finally updated his video, now it's my turn for 'No One Can Resist Li Peifeng'!"

"Technology is truly advanced nowadays, can make me dizzy just through the screen."

"I bought a phone just to watch my Feng's Douyin... Ah, so handsome, such a nice voice, this guitar is so big!"

"(Dog head) You call that a guitar? I'm embarrassed to expose you!"

"Isn't what's in the pants an instrument… Sorry! Excuse me! I made a mistake! (Blushing)"

"Platinum Feng is so handsome, I love him so much, ladies, being his loyal reader makes me feel honored!"

"Hard not to love, my Feng can write and sing, extremely talented, envy Wenyue for three days! Boldly asking, did you two go to bed?"

"Going crazy for Feng, crashing into the Great Wall for Feng!!"

"Brother is so annoying, this song hit my this... heart, now it's pounding, don't believe it, brother, give it a feel?"

"Don't stop me, I'm going to chip a tooth for Brother Feng as a token of love!"

"(Screen licking) Fengfeng, take good care of yourself, or let me take care of you, either way is fine."

"I envy Feng's guitar. I wish I were your guitar, lying on your lap, letting you strum the strings of my heart... ahem... ahem~"

"Can't watch this anymore, all of a sudden, there's a swarm of female sycophants. Humph! Feng Da, don't play guitar and stop playing TikTok, hurry up and update, the silver alliance is prepared for you!"

Su Yumei laughed as she read the comments. No wonder Zhao Qingge kept her young boyfriend under wraps; turns out it's because her boyfriend is not only a little internet celebrity but also an online writer, with fans from all over obsessed with both his looks and his books, wildly popular among the opposite sex.

Plus, Zhao Qingge is eight years older than him, and it's natural for her to feel anxious, wary of the women around him, and lack confidence in the longevity of their relationship, which is understandable that she wouldn't want to tell people around her.

Thinking this, Su Yumei's fingers instinctively kept sliding through the comments, and upon seeing two more comments, her finger tapped the screen, paused and read...

"Struggle for a hundred days, I'm aiming for Beihua Normal University of Arts and Sciences!"

"Liang Mountain breeze, wait for it, I've already applied for the graduate program at your school. I didn't apply to Yandu University or Wudaokou, Beihua Normal University must be a piece of cake, next month's exam is already passed, please welcome this junior sister!"

So he's still in grad school?

Su Yumei nodded: "Studying at Beihua Normal University?!"

The whole person... stunned!

"Your dish is here."

The waiter brought a large bowl of crab stew to the table. Zhou Kai rearranged the cutlery to make space, handed a pair of chopsticks to his son, and passed another pair to his wife: "Alright, stop staring at it, let's eat."

But Su Yumei's expression was anxious, seemingly needing to verify something, still staring at her phone, fingers constantly tapping the screen.

"Eat, what's there to look at? Haven't seen enough?"

"Wait a minute!"

"What's up?"

Zhou Kai moved closer impatiently to the screen, only to see his wife searching for the keywords 'Li Dafeng, Beihua Normal University' on TikTok.

Then, she clicked on the first video that appeared from the search. It seemed to be an introduction to 'Human Liang Mountain Breeze' by a certain blogger. As the video played, the covers of 'Human Liang Mountain Breeze''s works flashed by, and the phone's speaker narrated the explanatory voice of a smart voice robot.

"Human Liang Mountain Breeze, newly acclaimed platinum writer at Endpoint, TikTok account 'Li Dafeng', a week ago his co-dunking video with 'Wu Wenyue' went viral outside the web novel circle due to the song 'Huo Yuanjia' and surprisingly attractive looks, reaching the top three of the trending list, followed by another collaboration video on the Great Wall with Wu Wenyue reaching fifth on TikTok's trending list."

"Just two videos, 'Li Dafeng' account's followers jumped from twenty thousand to four hundred fifty thousand in a week, an exceptional feat, expanding both in videos and web novels. His book 'One Hundred and Eight Treasures from a Queen's Womb; I'm a Big Boss at Liang Mountain' soared from tenth to second place on the Endpoint monthly vote rankings, his other authored works have... been adapted into movies, TV shows, and animations..."

"Aside from these, what people might not know is 'Human Liang Mountain Breeze's real name is 'Li Peifeng', a high-achiever at Beihua Normal University, currently in the second year of grad school, majoring in contemporary literature, mentored by Professor Zhao Qingge, the foremost scholar in network literature research in our academy."

"Not sure if it's an illusion, but upon knowing this information and reading 'Human Liang Mountain Breeze's works again, I find a deep melancholy core beneath the seemingly absurd and humorous surface. The straightforward and unembellished style now seems to embody a razor's principle of simplicity, without unnecessary embellishments..."

"He could reach this stage on the web novel journey due, in large part, to Professor Zhao's guidance. And this is great for the web novel circle; it signifies a more thorough integration between network literature creation and academic criticism. Given time, 'Human Liang Mountain Breeze's writing style is bound to mature, providing readers with even better works!"

The video was long, over two minutes. Once it finished playing, Zhou Kai was astonished, "Wow, he's a network writer? A pretty famous one?!"

Su Yumei's expression shifted from anxious to serious. Without saying a word, she returned the phone, got up, and left again.

"You're not eating?" Zhou Kai puzzled, "If you're not eating, we'll start without you then."

Eating? How can I think of eating now?!

With such shocking news, how can I eat?!

The gossip itself is filling enough to burst me!!

I'm stuffed! Almost stuffed to death!!!

Su Yumei didn't reply, waved her hands, walked to the bathroom's door, pulled out her phone again, both nervous and excited with shaky hands.

Shivering, she made a call to Sun Yuanyuan, and the moment it connected, Su Yumei's eyes gleamed intensely, lowering her voice as if conveying some military secret.

"Yuanyuan, did you know? Duoduo and her boyfriend might not have met online, but instead..."

"What?!"

Sun Yuanyuan's voice came through the phone in shock: "Really? Impossible, you're kidding right? I personally saw it when I collected the gift for him. He had no idea the gift was meant for Zhao Qingge; they hadn't even met yet. Wait, are we talking about the same guy? She hasn't switched, has she?"

"Most likely it's the same guy!" Su Yumei cautioned: "Search TikTok, just look up 'Li Dafeng', one glance and you'll know!"

"Okay, I'm searching now!"

"Wait!"

Su Yumei squinted: "This, you absolutely cannot tell anyone, especially not Duoduo's mom!"

"Got it, got it!"

Sun Yuanyuan assured: "Don't you know me? I'm tight-lipped! Keeping secrets is my speciality, that's my motto!"
