After finishing breakfast, Wen Zhihan took the initiative to pay the bill.

There were quite a few customers in the store, so it took a moment to check out.

Shao Cixin and the cameraman stood outside and chatted as they waited for Wen Zhihan.

No matter what the topic was, Shao Cixin could always talk about it. In addition, she had a light tone and a friendly attitude, so she quickly became closer to the cameraman.

When Wen Zhihan came out, the two were already talking like friends. Looking at Shao Cixin’s cute and expressive eyes, Wen Zhihan smiled slightly.

Her junior sister was still good at socializing.

“Your wife is out,” the cameraman reminded Shao Cixin, adjusting the camera on his shoulder so that the two were in the same frame.

Shao Cixin turned her head and saw Wen Zhihan standing at the door alone.

Suddenly, she had the urge to act. She looked to Wen Zhihan’s left, then to her right, and asked, “Beautiful sister, are you alone?”

Wen Zhihan raised her eyebrows.

What did Shao Cixin want to do?

Then Wen Zhihan saw Shao Cixin flash her a brilliant smile, and her (SCX’s) voice became extremely sweet. “What a coincidence, jiejie[1], I am also alone. This is heaven’s fate!

“Can I take a walk with you? We can go to the park for a walk, or we can make a few rounds around the community. Whichever you prefer.”

—Wen Zhihan understood, it was an act within an act.

Wen Zhihan smiled and said, “Of course, it would be my honor.”

Shao Cixin walked up to Wen Zhihan and took her left hand. When she touched the cold wedding ring, her expression suddenly changed, and she said in an exaggerated tone of surprise, “What, you’re married?!”

She immediately let go of Wen Zhihan’s hand and clasped her own hands together with a decisive expression. “It’s my mistake. Goodbye!”

Wen Zhihan, whose hand was not yet warm: “?”

So there was a plot twist?

The cameraman watching the show: “?”

This play has some twists and turns?

Seeing that Shao Cixin wouldn’t stop acting, Wen Zhihan’s heart began racing, and she immediately reached out and held Shao Cixin’s hand tightly, keeping her by her side and cooperating with her performance.

“En, I am married.

“But you’re the one who married me. It’s just that you don’t remember me, because you lost your memory in an accident.”

Wen Zhihan took Shao Cixin’s fingers and said calmly and affectionately, “This is our wedding ring. You chose it yourself. Although you have lost your memory, you still wear it every day because your subconscious still loves me. Do you understand?”

The composition of this narrative was well-written and convincing.

There was even the use of props.

Shao Cixin: “?”

She hadn’t expected Wen Zhihan to cooperate with her, let alone help her fill in the background setting.

But it was also as expected of Wen Zhihan, who always surprised her.

Shao Cixin immediately accepted her assigned role and wrapped her hands around Wen Zhihan’s arm. “You are so beautiful, whatever you say must be true—my wife, I love you.”

Wen Zhihan smiled softly and touched Shao Cixin’s head.

Cameraman Brother: “…”

He really didn’t expect Wen Zhihan to be willing to make a fool of herself with Shao Cixin.

This spirit of “If you like me, I will even fool around with you” is real love!

If this wasn’t love, he would eat the camera on his shoulder!

After this little episode, the pace of the scene gradually slowed down.

Shao Cixin no longer thought about adding a little variety show effect, and obediently held Wen Zhihan’s hand, strolling slowly and leisurely.

They usually didn’t go out together like this.

Either work got in the way, their schedules didn’t align, or they felt that there was no need to waste precious resting time going out and wandering around.

Ironically, it was the moments they spent shooting the program that allowed them to slow down and become more leisurely.

The gentle and bright sunlight fell on the road, like a clear pool of water. As if not yet awake, the surroundings were quiet and peaceful.

Shao Cixin took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, feeling a sense of comfort spread through her body.

Everything was indicating that today would be a great day.

Wen Zhihan liked this very much, the experience of finishing a meal together with her beloved and holding her hand as she strolled leisurely on a quiet road away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Such an experience might be insignificant to others, but it was a precious and wonderful memory for her.

She just didn’t know if Shao Cixin also liked it or not.

Shao Cixin couldn’t tell what Wen Zhihan was thinking.

But she quietly glanced at their hands as she followed Wen Zhihan’s footsteps. After she retracted her gaze, a smile pulled at the corner of her lips.

Actually, this was quite good…


Another ordinary, warm, and sweet day passed, and the first day of filming was successfully completed.

Although Wen Zhihan was filming a variety show for the first time, she was not timid and learned quickly.

After the crew left with their cameras, she took the initiative to ask for advice and learn from Shao Cixin how to properly shoot a variety show.

It wasn’t because she liked the job, but because she liked Shao Cixin.

She hoped to do everything well so that she could leave the best memories for Shao Cixin, coming one step closer to becoming the person in Shao Cixin’s heart who she (SCX) could rely on for a lifetime.

Shao Cixin sat on the sofa while leaning forward and supporting her head, recalling Wen Zhihan’s performance during filming.

After she finished parsing her memories, she said very seriously, “Let’s just keep it like this. I think it’s already very good as is.”

Wen Zhihan was not from her industry, and she didn’t appear on shows all the time, so she didn’t need to learn so many things.

Moreover, Wen Zhihan was a gentle and tactful person. She knew better than anyone else what should and shouldn’t be said.

So just let their current performance remain the status quo, showing everyone Wen Zhihan’s kindhearted nature. What was wrong with that?

After all, her goddess was so good and kind. There was no need for change!

“Really?” Wen Zhihan turned her gaze to the person at the other end of the sofa. With selfishness in her heart, she began a test.

“What part was Cixin satisfied with the most?”

Shao Cixin put her hands down, looked ahead, and thought seriously for a moment.

Satisfied with the most…

This question was not easy for her to answer.

When she was with Wen Zhihan, she was always in her most relaxed state, and she had never been dissatisfied with anything, so the truth was that she was satisfied all the time.

If Wen Zhihan asked for what specific moment she was most satisfied with, it would be even harder to choose.

After pondering for a while, she finally came up with an answer. “I quite like walking with you, Wen Zhihan.

“Holding hands with you and walking on a quiet road, away from all the noise. It doesn’t matter where we go.”

After saying this, a look of yearning appeared on Shao Cixin’s face as she recalled yesterday morning’s walk.

She liked those ordinary yet gentle days.

Wen Zhihan was very happy to hear this answer.

Shao Cixin liked walking with her and holding hands with her. Her, not anyone else.

She was like a limited-edition product. There was no other choice besides her.

Wen Zhihan suddenly became a little optimistic.

Did this mean that her position in Shao Cixin’s heart had become slightly more important?


In the blink of an eye, the Post-Marriage Love Diary interview was aired in the form of a preview.

The first episode would be aired on the third day after the preview. Afterward, it would be updated promptly at 8 p.m. every Friday night on the designated platform.

When the interview went live, Wen Zhihan was still at the company.

After finishing her work, she picked up her tablet and clicked on the video.

She wanted to see how the final product turned out and the netizens’ reactions.

Prior to the production, she had made a three-part agreement with the production crew: They couldn’t negatively edit the show, and they couldn’t blame Shao Cixin for their own problems, or else Wen Zhihan would see them in court.

She hoped that the program group would not cause trouble for her.

Wen Zhihan opened the video and the barrage of comments, then put the tablet on the table, watching it intently.

The video gradually became clearer. She and Shao Cixin were sitting on the sofa side by side, looking very intimate.

Before they even began talking, the barrage began.

—Ooh, ooh, such a perfect match.

—So beautiful and affectionate, boop!

—A warm heart is really the best scent!

—Mom finally finished waiting for you. CP fans are celebrating the New Year!

—Help, why do they look so good just sitting next to each other? I’m locked in, I want them to grow old together!

Wen Zhihan:  “…”

She gave a like to the last one.

She filtered out the few that tried to kiss her wife—these people trying to kiss someone else’s wife, how indecent.

After she finished handing out likes, she started watching the interview.

The video was well-edited, and the production value was good—it was just a little exhausting trying to like all of the comments.

Wen Zhihan liked all the comments that said that she and Shao Cixin were perfect for each other and wished them a long and happy life together.

All the comments put it very well. This was also her simple but difficult-to-fulfill wish.

Wen Zhihan sincerely hoped that, one day, these beautiful wishes would come true.

One by one.


Shao Cixin was also watching the interview video and liking the comments.

But she didn’t like the comments that said she and Wen Zhihan were a good match. She only liked the comments praising Wen Zhihan’s beauty.

There was no reason for it beyond the fact that the comments were so good at complimenting Wen Zhihan. Every sentence made her feel good, and the same words were never repeated, so Shao Cixin couldn’t help but happily like them with a “we heroes see the same thing” attitude.

She was all too pleased to see so many people praising her goddess for her beauty.

This was all she needed to share in others’ happiness!

Rong Ya turned her head and saw Shao Cixin holding her phone and smiling, so she suddenly felt curious. “What are you smiling at?”

Shao Cixin’s face was full of joy as she said, “I’m happy to see other people compliment my President Wen on how good-looking she is.”

Rong Ya suddenly felt that Shao Cixin was being funny. “Are you stupid? People are praising President Wen, not you.”

Shao Cixin raised her eyebrows. “When they compliment her, they are also praising me.”

Rong Ya said, “What are they complimenting you for?”

Shao Cixin was straightforward. “For having good taste.”

Rong Ya: “…”

This was all she could come up with? Her friend was really something.

Lin Mumu in the front row also echoed, “That’s right, Cixin has really good taste.”

Shao Cixin said, “Thank you~”

“Get away, get away,” Rong Ya warned, “Mumu, don’t be led astray by her.”

“I’m not leading anyone astray. I just want the whole world to see how pretty my family’s President Wen is!

“Wen Zhihan is so beautiful that I won’t allow anyone not to watch this interview video!”

Wait…

Shao Cixin suddenly thought of someone.

This person might not have seen the interview yet…


Wen Yu was at the company, working hard as she cursed Wen Zhihan in her heart.

Wen Zhihan was so cruel, she actually arranged so much work for her!

Just then, her phone vibrated. Out of the blue, Shao Cixin had sent her a message.

This made her extremely happy, even though the content was a bit strange.

[Cixin]: Click [heart emoji] to see [heart emoji] pretty [heart emoji] jiejie.

It was like someone had hacked Shao Cixin’s account and was now trying to scam Wen Yu.

But just as she was about to ask, “Did you get your account stolen?” Shao Cixin sent her a link.

It was a video.

A video of an interview with Shao Cixin and Wen Zhihan for a variety show.

A bowl of dog food was splashed onto her face.

Wen Yu: “…”

She might as well have been hacked!!


The author (热到昏厥) has something to say:

The scum woman was pissed off today.

The sister-in-law took care of her sister-in-law today.

President Wen secretly (?) liked the comments today.


[1] Shao Cixin refers to Wen Zhihan as “姐姐” (jiějiě) or “older sister.” This word has a cute/flirty connotation in Chinese that isn’t present in English, so whenever Shao Cixin calls Wen Zhihan “姐姐” in the future, I will directly transliterate it.
