In the bedroom, Wen Zhi handed Si Mingchen the announcement list for the reality show and sat across from him in a good and quiet manner.

Si Mingchen scanned the names on the list and his voice became lower, “You’re going to participate in a couples reality show?”

Wen Zhi nodded: “Yes, I hope you’ll agree.”

As he said this, he was a little nervous. This was also a part of his plan.

Si Mingchen casually skimmed through the pages, looking at the words “couple’s 144-hour sweet cohabitation”, “luxury cruise ship candlelight dinner” and “love lock”, and handed the notice back to Wen Zhi.

“Are you asking for my opinion?”

Wen Zhi nodded, “Yes.”

Si Mingchen had a complicated look on his face, given his current relationship with Wen Zhi, it seemed he had no right to stop him.

After careful consideration, he said indifferently, “Go if you want to.”

This answer took Wen Zhi very much by surprise. Shouldn’t the correct formula be that Si Mingchen was jealous and angry, and then pinned him down on the bed and said in annoyance, “Man, you’ve touched my bottom line, I won’t allow you to go”?

“I’m going to work, you can rest.”

Seeing that Si Mingchen was ready to leave, Wen Zhiyi anxiously wrapped his arms around Si Mingchen’s waist from behind, “Would you like to come with me? That way we can play the real couple, and it is said that the real couple wins and has a million dollar prize.”

Si Mingchen was slightly stunned: “You want me to accompany you to record the variety show?”

Wen Zhi: “Yes.”

Si Mingchen: “Then our relationship will be announced.”

Wen Zhi: “Yes.”

Si Mingchen looked down at the hands on his waist, caught in a tangle. After four years of marriage, their marital relationship had never been announced. Although this matter was brought up by Wen Zhi of his own accord, Wen Zhi had lost his memory after all.

If they really went to the variety show together and announced their relationship, it would cause irreversible consequences.

Would Wen Zhi resent him after he regained his memory?

If Wen Zhi wanted to start a new relationship in the future, his identity as an ex-husband would always follow Wen Zhi and become a subject for Wen Zhi to be gossiped about by others.

“I’m sorry, Wen Zhi. I really want to accompany you, but I’m too busy with work and don’t have time.”

Si Mingchen turned around with an apologetic look on his face.

Si Mingchen’s expression was very sincere, and it could be seen that he didn’t prevaricate casually. Wen Zhi knew that Si Mingchen was busy with work, and the main reason he wanted to participate in this variety show wasn’t actually so that he could become popular.

Ever since he lost his memory, he always felt that there was a transparent wall between him and Si Mingchen, making it impossible for him to guess what Si Mingchen was really thinking.

His memory loss this time can be regarded as a rebirth, and the emotional connection between him and Si Mingchen needed to be established slowly. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to spend more time and communicate with Si Mingchen and become a companion who could talk about everything.

“I understand.” Wen Zhi hung his head in loss, then suddenly proposed excitedly, “Can we suggest to the programme team that we leave you two hours of private time each night to deal with your work? If you’re too busy, I can help you.”

After saying this, Wen Zhi regretted it.

Although his university was the top in the country, he was not sure if he could apply that knowledge immediately. After all, this head is good and bad at times. Si Mingchen’s work is definitely difficult, and he might not be able to help much.

The words Si Mingchen wants to refuse are blocked in his throat, but he also knows he has no other choice but to refuse in this matter.

“You go to work.”

Wen Zhi pretended as if nothing had happened, humming a cheerful song as he turned around, “I want to play Lego tonight, so I can work late with you and wait for you to go to bed.”

Si Mingchen sighed silently, “Hm.”

At night, Wen Zhi waited until two in the morning, but did not see Si Mingchen’s figure. He couldn’t stay up any longer, so he slowly pressed himself to the carpet and struggled to fall asleep.

The bedroom door was slowly pushed open and Si Mingchen walked over to Wen Zhi and smiled at his sleeping posture.

Wen Zhi’s sleeping position could be described as difficult, as he was lying on the floor before falling asleep, so his buttocks were curved up and his face was directly against the carpet.

Si Mingchen picked him up, very lightly.

The moonlight reflected on the outline of Wen’s features, which were delicate and beautiful. He found that Wen Zhi hadn’t changed much over the years, only his features were deeper than in high school.

The ugly winter melon stayed quietly to one side, the stitching at the corner of its mouth was thick, not like it had been sewn on the outside, but rather like it was Wen Zhi’s own doing.

Si Mingchen helped him cover the quilt and was silent for a long time.

Four years ago, it was a week before their wedding date.

Wen Zhi and Ming Yantang went on a trip around the world, travelling together as singles.

Si Mingchen thought this was nothing and understandable, but he accidentally overheard that Wen Zhi went to Europe to see Sang Qi before returning to China. What the two said was unclear to Si Mingchen.

But several of his close friends were very disgusted by the incident, and felt aggrieved for him. Chen Yu guessed that Wen Zhi had gone to get back together with Sang Qi.

The exact reason is unknown, and Si Mingchen did not pursue the matter further, as Wen Zhi returned to China two days before the wedding date and registered the marriage with him.

Si Mingchen smiles bitterly and gets up to leave.

The next day, when Wen Zhi woke up, there was still no sign of Si Mingchen. He reached out his hand to the side, and it was cold next to him.

Running downstairs, he found that Si Mingchen had not left yet and was having breakfast.

“Did you return to the room to sleep last night?”

For Wen Zhi to ask that, he must have noticed something.

Si Mingchen answered truthfully, “It was too late yesterday, so I didn’t dare to disturb you.”

Wen Zhi: “I’m not worried about disturbance.” After sitting down, he continued, “It’s not good to let you sleep in the study all the time.”

Si Mingchen didn’t say anything, but took a bite of his bread and looked at Wen Zhi quietly.

At this time, Wen Zhi’s mobile phone rang. Because he was breaking bread, he pressed the speakerphone directly, freeing up his hands.

Sister Qing’s voice came through: “Oh my God, didn’t you say you had a husband? Did he agree to participate in a variety show with you?”

Wen Zhi suddenly forgot about the boasting and bragging he had done and couldn’t hide his embarrassment, “He’s busy and can’t go.”

Sister Qing took the opportunity to tease, “Fortunately, I told Director Zhao that your promise that day was unreliable and you were probably just getting high.”

Wen Zhi frowned, “I’m not lying, I do have a husband.”

Sister Qing did not want to argue with him about this topic anymore and sighed, “Let Gu Chengfeng go if he wants to, he will not attract fans with his bad temper. In the end, he might go through a lot of trouble to cut off your resources and it will end up with nothing for you.”

Wen Zhi: “Okay.”

When he hung up the phone, Si Mingchen picked up his coffee, “Did Gu Chengfeng cut off your resources?”

Wen Zhi raised his eyebrows: “So what? I can’t participate in that variety show without you anyway. There are plenty of opportunities to defeat him later.”

Gu Chengfeng was so famous that even Si Mingchen, who did not follow the entertainment industry, knew him. Knowing this, Si Mingchen asked, “Do I need to keep him from being on this variety show?”

Wen Zhi waved his hand, “No, I enjoy using my own strength to defeat him, such tactics are not needed for now.”

Si Mingchen asked rhetorically, “So, you want to go to a reality show with me and defeat him?”

Talking about it again, Wen Zhi shook his head and spoke the truth, “Not exactly. The main reason I want to participate in a variety show is actually because I want to spend more time and have more contact with you. You’re busy with work and I only see you at night. It would only make sense if we could go on a reality show together, with all those exciting projects to enjoy with you.”

Si Mingchen took out a tissue, let out a low laugh and looked at Wen Zhi.

“Those projects, do you only want to go with me? If there was Sang Qi, would you still choose me?”
