**[Topic]:** Just checked Weibo today, and my eyes were nearly blinded by the flash. What should I do? Please recommend some good sunglasses, and I want them to be stylish and slimming! Ps: Enough with the public displays of affection already o(￣ヘ￣o＃)！

1L: First post! Same request +1

2L: ??? What Weibo public display of affection? Can someone explain?

3L: Wow, second brother, you really don’t know? Check out the most popular male artist’s Weibo. Be prepared for a flash!

4L: Ahhh, I know, I know. As someone who witnessed the whole event and believes in love, it’s clear. If nearly twenty years of feelings can deteriorate, then I’d never believe in love again. Fortunately, I’m clever =V=

5L: Am I the only one who thinks this is all just hype? And the kissing photo isn’t that big of a deal ┑（￣Д￣）┍. Their marriage must have problems.

6L: Looks like π Five Brother, you’re not alone!

7L: The previous posters don’t understand the situation. Hype? Haha, just look at their current status—do they still need to hype? Hype is either for fame or profit. Zhao Louqin is cutting back on work every year to spend more time with his family. As for money, haha, who’s richer than Zheng Yixu? It’s not like people are fools; blackening someone also requires skill!

8L: Looking around, π7 Brother, true greatness doesn’t come from boring hype or treating the audience as fools.

9L: I’m the second poster, this is maddening! The eyes can’t be more affectionate, right? No way, I need to go draw fan art and find friends to write fanfiction!

10L: Wow, Second Brother, are you an artist? Share your artwork when it’s done! I usually only fangirl over anime, but some people’s faces are just irresistible!

11L: Already a fan from being a passerby. They just posted a picture without saying anything, and the feelings are undeniable. Trust is indeed the most important thing between couples~~

12L: ~\\\\（≧▽≦）/~ Lalala, my comforter is the ultimate winner in life. Ps: “comforter” is our nickname. We are all bedding sets; for more details, join our group. The QQ number is 463728930【proudly raising head!

13L: Came back after reading, why do I have a torch in my hand? As a straight guy, I genuinely don’t envy or resent this!

14L: The poster above is so cute n（*≧▽≦*）n. I’m also a straight guy. Should we exchange some philosophical thoughts?

15L: The poster above is going too far. Have some decency, please add me!

This thread inevitably goes off-topic…

“……Dad, you’ve been smiling for a long time.” Zhao Jiusi looked at Zhao Louqin, who was still grinning, feeling helpless. Why is he so happy just because of a kiss? They used to kiss all the time, didn’t they?

“You don’t understand, hehe.” Zhao Louqin waved his hand, continuing to smile with his face in his hands. This was Yi Xu’s first kiss after losing his memory and also his final step towards victory. This time, he would ensure that Yi Xu completely belonged to him, with no annoying third parties to worry about.

Just thinking about their future together made him incredibly happy.

“Dad, even though I don’t want to say this, you’ve been in the bedroom since last night and haven’t come out… Aren’t you going to check on him?” Zhao Jiusi felt that the way emotions were handled in this family was really illogical. Although he sometimes felt like an extra at home, he still looked up to Zhao Louqin and Zheng Yixu with admiration.

But emotions are really mysterious. Even though Dad and Papa have been partners for so many years, it shouldn’t be a huge problem even if Papa has lost his memory. There are plenty of home videos from before that could help Papa remember. Yet, Dad chooses to say nothing and doesn’t let Zhao Jiusi say anything either. It’s like how schoolgirls act with love letters: if they’re not received, they get upset; if they are received but not read, they’re still upset; and if read but rejected, they’re still mad. However, this doesn’t stop them from giving love letters to someone else the next day.

So, as for the matter between Dad and Papa, Zhao Jiusi can only watch and find no other way to help.

“It’s nothing, your dad is just shy,” Zhao Louqin paused, then laughed even more happily. “You don’t understand, something like a first kiss is very important.”

…But does Papa even have a first kiss left? The most important thing is, how does Dad even tell if he’s shy? It seems more like embarrassment or anger, which could easily escalate into domestic violence.

Zhao Jiusi felt a need to vent but had to suppress it due to the time. He said goodbye to Zhao Louqin and left for school.

As for Zheng Yixu…

Yes, it was indeed his first kiss.

But the surprising thing was that he didn’t feel angry. In fact, he found the experience surprisingly pleasant and familiar. This was one of the reasons he chose to stay indoors.

Was it because of the body’s memory from the original owner, or was it because the other person looked too good, making him feel like he had benefited?

“No, no, no, Zheng Yixu!” he muttered to himself, feeling that something was off.

Zheng Yixu thought about the tragic fates of historical figures who were led astray by their desires—like King You of Zhou and King Zhou of Shang. And now, here he was, a mere supporting character falling for one of the protagonists, despite knowing the original owner’s body and feelings.

He felt a deep sense of turmoil and frustration. His eyes were red as he pinched himself hard, trying to snap out of it.

“It’s not my own body anyway, so it doesn’t matter,” Zheng Yixu told himself. “And honestly, it’s not really a loss.” He patted his forehead and sprawled out on the bed, feeling like a fish out of water.

His mind raced with various thoughts.

To suppress his strange feelings, Zheng Yixu scoured the internet for all sorts of videos and films. He even searched for early works of Zhao Louqin, discovering that in many of those films, the characters Zhao Louqin kissed often met tragic fates. He noted that this was a significant detail.

Years ago, Zhao Louqin’s outstanding appearance and mediocre acting skills limited him to roles that were either visually appealing or emotionally engaging, such as tragic second leads or pitiable villains, typically with grim outcomes. The so-called tragedy involved showcasing beauty only to tear it apart for others to see. Consequently, many fans were drawn to his roles, and Zhao Louqin’s characters often met untimely ends. Among the few exceptions were the female leads and some male characters who lived happily ever after; almost everyone else he kissed ended up dead.

**Ps:** In the past, popular tragic tropes included the female lead suffering from a terminal illness, dying in a car accident, sacrificing herself while saving someone, or disappearing without a trace after going abroad. Consequently, nearly all characters kissed by Zhao Louqin met unfortunate ends.

Zheng Yixu doubted he had the charm to make Zhao Louqin fall for him. He discovered that the original body was an outstanding person—discerning, academically excellent, and dedicated to charity work, having volunteered without letting his wealth lead him astray. Such a person was very different from himself.

The days are still short; they might not believe that he’s reborn. But over time, it will become impossible to continue deceiving them. If the original body’s perfect image is ruined under his watch, there could be considerable trouble.

Zheng Yixu thought for a long time and ultimately decided to treat the kiss as a dream and ignore it entirely.

At night, Zheng Yixu had a long, confusing dream, filled with many people and events. However, when he woke up, he couldn’t remember any of it.

Meanwhile, Zhao Louqin’s mood improved, but Lin Ninghua’s mood worsened.

Of course, as Zhao Louqin’s mood improved, Lin Ninghua’s worsened.

The photo on Weibo was enlarged and printed by Lin Ninghua. She used scissors to cut out pieces of the smile from someone’s face and then skillfully combined her own photo with the new image she created.

Then, Lin Ninghua burned the composite photo.

Fake is fake, he wouldn’t stoop to using this method to comfort himself.

Due to this turmoil, the editors-in-chief who had only agreed to do a special report on Zheng Yixu for Lin Ninghua became exceedingly attentive one by one. They were well aware of what could boost sales!

They also had some suspicions in their hearts; there were very few people who had the ability to release so much information online at once without leaving many clues. Coupled with the favors Lin Ninghua had previously asked of them, several editors-in-chief soon focused their attention on Lin Ninghua.

However, this had nothing to do with them.

Zheng Yixu and Zhao Louqin sparked a trend of flaunting their love.

Countless married celebrities followed suit, showing off photos with their partners. At the same time, many took advantage of this wave to announce their own good news. The editors-in-chief weren’t worried about finding news; instead, they were troubled by having too much news and not knowing which one to use as the headline!

But if there was news about Zheng Yixu, there would be no need to worry about these things. Just the name Zheng Yixu alone could boost sales significantly.

Immediately, several editors-in-chief called Zhao Louqin’s agent, subtly asking if Zheng Yixu had any availability. When this route was blocked, they dispatched reporters to stake out Zheng Yixu’s company. Upon discovering that Zheng Yixu hadn’t been to the company for several days, the paparazzi quickly found content to write about.

Soon after, an article titled “Zheng Yixu Chooses Love Over Career!” attracted countless readers.

The writer of the article knew how to balance the narrative, portraying Zheng Yixu’s inactivity as a result of facing a major crisis, becoming disillusioned with the world, and focusing on family harmony.

This immediately sparked heated discussions.

Supporters felt that Zheng Yixu was sentimental and righteous, a truly exceptional man.

Opponents believed that Zheng Yixu was being overly emotional and unfit to be a company’s manager. After all, as a real estate tycoon, Zheng Yixu’s inaction affected many people’s interests.

The Internet was instantly abuzz with debate.

Some even speculated that Zhao Louqin was trying to seize power amid the chaos.

Various scandals were exposed one after another, making it hard to distinguish truth from falsehood. Just after the news of Zhao Louqin and Zheng Yixu’s marital discord had subsided, a new storm of a wealthy family’s property battle erupted!

For ordinary people, their interest in celebrities mainly revolves around their romantic lives and property disputes. This undoubtedly captured people’s attention.

Considering Zheng Yixu’s wealth and his current family situation, it’s easy to see why. It was known that Zheng Yixu didn’t have a particularly good relationship with his family; he didn’t like them meddling in his marriage. Moreover, according to the order of inheritance, with Zhao Louqin and their child in the picture, no one else would be involved.

Facing such a fortune, who knows if Zhao Louqin might want to seize power? People are always quick to assume the worst about others. There are plenty of relatives who go to court over a few thousand dollars, let alone the immense wealth Zhao Louqin is dealing with.

The continuous news prompted many netizens to exclaim that Zheng Yixu and Zhao Louqin had monopolized all the headlines! Countless newspapers ran special reports on the two of them.

Of course, all sorts of people, including supposed friends and juniors that even Zhao Louqin himself didn’t know about, also shared their thoughts on the matter.

Seeing the reports, Zhao Louqin was speechless. How could he have so many friends without knowing it? It was clear to him that this was Lin Ninghua’s doing.

Angry as he was, Zhao Louqin felt more amused than anything.

It was obvious that Lin Ninghua, having realized that ordinary methods weren’t working, had resorted to such desperate measures.

“Hmph, wishful thinking!”

“You have Zhang Liang’s strategies, but I have the ladder to climb over the wall.”

Zhao Louqin raised a sly smile, like that of an old fox, and happily ate a few more green vegetables!
