Zheng Yixu, who thought he had figured out the whole situation, did not angrily slam the table and kill the cheating pair. Instead, he quietly finished his meal and sent Lin Ninghua away with a smile.

Zheng Yixu thought he might be even better suited to be an actor than Zhao Louqin. Just look at his performance—he couldn’t believe how nonchalant he had managed to appear.

However, this marriage, heh, must end!

Zheng Yixu sent Lin Ninghua away and then turned around to go back to his room and check his posts. As for Zhao Louqin… he was still reveling in the satisfaction of thoroughly defeating Lin Ninghua. After so many years, he finally got to show off in front of Lin Ninghua, and it felt immensely satisfying. When Lin Ninghua left, he couldn’t even keep a straight face!

Hahaha, every man has the desire to show off in front of their former rival. It doesn’t matter who has the best smile; what matters is who smiles last. No matter how arrogant Lin Ninghua was back then or how little he regarded him as a rival, now the tables have turned. Finally, it’s his turn to have the last laugh!

During the decade-plus that Zhao Louqin and Zheng Yixu were married, Lin Ninghua avoided seeing them and mostly followed them quietly from afar. Even at their wedding ceremony, Lin Ninghua only sent a gift and did not attend in person. This forced Zhao Louqin, who had always wanted to show off, to swallow his pride and hold back his frustration.

Now, hmph!

“Little Sunshine, listen to me… Huh? Where is he?” Zhao Louqin finally snapped back to reality, planning to talk to Zheng Yixu about Lin Ninghua’s “terrible behavior” and brainwash him into not falling for Lin Ninghua’s tricks. Unfortunately, Zheng Yixu had already disappeared, and Zhao Louqin didn’t have the guts to knock on his door. He could only sigh twice and return to his bedroom.

Since ancient times, it’s been difficult to balance loyalty and righteousness, just as one cannot have both fish and bear’s paw. The matter of Lin Ninghua will have to be postponed. With him guarding every day, is there any need to worry about others trying to undermine him?

Zheng Yixu returned to his room and lay on the bed for a long while, trying hard to clear today’s events from his mind. Unfortunately, after tossing and turning several times, he still couldn’t succeed.

“Ahhhh!” Zheng Yixu screamed, grabbing his hair in frustration. He desperately wanted to kick those two people out of his mind, but he just couldn’t. It must be because they were too good-looking!

Zheng Yixu logged into QQ. This account was one he had reapplied for, and he had added Zhao Louqin, his son, and Gu Yanqiu as friends. As for the original owner’s QQ account, Zhao Louqin claimed he didn’t know the password.

To Zheng Yixu, this was concrete evidence that Zhao Louqin’s feelings for the original owner weren’t deep enough! Married for over a decade and he didn’t even know their QQ account password? So lame—he deserved to be divorced!

Alright, that’s not the main point. The main point is that when Zheng Yixu opened QQ, he discovered someone had sent a friend request. The verification message read, “I am Lin Ninghua ^_^.”

To add or not to add, that was the question.

Lin Ninghua’s face flashed through Zheng Yixu’s mind over and over again, and he finally couldn’t restrain himself and clicked “accept.”

Ahem, know thy enemy and you will never be defeated, right? Adding a friend doesn’t necessarily mean they are a friend!

To prove his unwavering integrity, Zheng Yixu reclassified his contacts, placing both Zhao Louqin and Lin Ninghua into a group labeled “Scumbags,” which contained only the two of them!

After organizing his contacts, Zheng Yixu opened a chat window and lightly tapped on one friend.

This friend, named “Inner One Piece for Ten Yuan,” was someone Zheng Yixu had added a few days ago. When he sought help on a forum, a kind-hearted girl—presumably a girl—left her QQ number for contact. With the idea of casting a wide net to catch something valuable, Zheng Yixu added her without hesitation. After adding her, he found their conversations quite engaging, so they had kept in touch since then.

This “Inner One Piece for Ten Yuan,” or simply “Inner,” is a heavy user of various forums and贴吧 (tieba) and suffers from a chronic case of “chuunibyou” (middle school syndrome). She left her QQ number on Zheng Yixu’s post because she thought his “post-accident syndrome” had the flair of a typical male protagonist or villain in a second-dimensional setting.

Alright, let’s not worry about that. The important thing is that Zheng Yixu enjoyed chatting with her. No matter what Zheng Yixu said, she could always keep the conversation going and even pretended to accept his imaginative idea of being “amnesiac.”

Through the internet, he couldn’t see her face or know if she truly believed him. But it didn’t matter; Zheng Yixu just wanted someone to vent to.

**Red Heart**: Calling Inner!

**Inner**: What’s up, Red Heart? Did you get discouraged by your so-called rival? See, being single is best—no worries!

**Red Heart**: =-=, go away if you can’t attract girls.

**Inner**: I’m waiting for my harem girls to descend from the heavens; the real world isn’t my thing!

**Red Heart**: ……

**Inner**: Alright, let’s continue talking about your rival.

**Red Heart**: I used to not believe in TV dramas, thinking the screenwriters were totally off-base and nothing like real life. Now I realize that art comes from life. I only just sorted out this mess of relationships today!

**Inner**: I’m all ears…

**Red Heart**: Actually, my rival and my husband used to be a couple, and this rival was once a good friend of mine. However, this rival went abroad, and it seemed like things got quite messy, so I ended up in their place. Now, this rival has returned and is trying to get close to my husband by getting close to me!

**Inner**: Let me sort this out…

**Inner**: I can only say that amnesia is your biggest failure because you don’t know anything. Although, I also think it’s quite green…

**Red Heart**: I wish I were the one who was green… but reality is just this messed up.

**Inner**: You know, your experience confirms for me that this world is capable of delivering my harem girls from the heavens o(￣ヘ￣o＃).

**Red Heart**: …Create!

**Inner**: But I think, since you already wanted to divorce your husband, isn’t the appearance of this rival a good thing for you? What you should do now is negotiate with your rival, get the money and the child, and then move on.

**Red Heart**: I want to do that too… but I feel like it’s a bit unethical…

**Inner**: Believe me, in this world, the unethical people become the wealthy. People like me with good character are left to chat with you.

**Red Heart**: You make a good point; I have no response OJZ.

**Inner**: Where are you? I was joking, come back!

**Inner**: Red Heart! Red Heart! [Don’t come looking for me if something goes wrong.]

Zheng Yixu, feeling frustrated, deleted a long message he had typed. If he went through with that, the original owner would probably end up in trouble again when they came back, right?

**Red Heart**: I’m here! I wouldn’t do that; I might even want to reconcile in the future.

**Inner**: …Why are you so cool?

Zheng Yixu rolled his eyes in frustration; he didn’t want to either. But according to their statements, the original owner’s injuries weren’t fatal, so there was a high chance they would return. Otherwise, Zheng Yixu couldn’t explain why he ended up in the body of someone whose injuries were not fatal.

From the beginning, Zheng Yixu had been prepared for the possibility of going back at any time.

He just didn’t want to occupy someone else’s husband and child.

Zhao Jiusi fits his aesthetic so well that he might indulge his personal feelings… Ahem.

“Dad, are you there?”

Speak of the devil.

The voice of Zhao Jiusi came from outside the door. Zheng Yixu glanced at the time in the lower right corner and realized it was already after the evening study session had ended.

**Red Heart**: My son is back, so I’m signing off for now.

**Inner**: …Forgot your principles for the sake of appearance!

Zheng Yixu quickly logged off and smiled as he opened the door. Zhao Jiusi was the reason he had stayed here; the handsome, smart, and charming young man melted his heart every time he called him “Dad…”

“Jiusi, come in.”

Zhao Jiusi still had his schoolbag on. Zheng Yixu attentively helped him take it off and carried it for him. He also pulled a box of yogurt from the desk drawer and offered it to Zhao Jiusi.

He had prepared all sorts of ways to care for the young man, hehe!

Zheng Yixu smiled even more happily, feeling his heart, which had been attacked by Zhao Louqin and Lin Ninghua earlier in the evening, start beating with joy again.

“Dad, I have a parent-teacher conference tomorrow. Do you want to go?” Zhao Jiusi asked seriously.

Zhao Louqin was so well-known that attending would likely result in being swarmed. Zheng Yixu’s reputation was mostly confined to financial newspapers, and he was generally unrecognizable to teachers and students at the school. With a bit of makeup, he could blend in without any problems.

Since Zhao Jiusi was little, Zheng Yixu had always been the one to attend the parent-teacher conferences.

But now that Dad has amnesia, Zhao Jiusi asked again.

“Yes, of course I’ll go!”

Zheng Yixu’s eyes blazed with excitement!

This was the legendary parent-teacher conference—one that made even university graduate students and kindergarteners tremble with fear, whether they were good or bad students!!!

He never expected he would have a day to attend a parent-teacher conference as a parent himself QAQ.

In the past, just hearing about a parent-teacher conference was a source of great worry. When grades were good, there was fear of the teacher saying there were behavioral issues. When grades were poor, there was fear of the teacher saying everything was lacking.

Just thinking about it brings a flood of bittersweet tears!
