Xu Tangzhou was wearing the same caramel-coloured thick sweater from yesterday, along with his creamy-like skin which seemed to be made of milk, perhaps the tenderness and smooth texture of his face could become apparent by merely poking it with an index finger.
He happens to have a deadpan expression, so the dot of red under his nostrils appeared to be extremely laughable.
Xu Tangzhou subconsciously reached out to touch it and actually ended up coming into contact with the bright crimson blood as a result.
His face turned red within seconds at a speed visible to the naked eye: “……”
Fuck, what the hell!
Ling Che handed him the tissues and turned his face towards the direction of the window.
Stay away from Laozi.
Xu Tangzhou inexplicably understood the body language of the Lord this time around.
It seemed that he had been given the cold-shoulder treatment.
“Thanks.” Xu Tangzhou hurriedly received the tissues and cleaned himself up in a wretched manner.
So humiliating.
He had the urge to cry.
Besides the throbbing patch of skin on his nape and his increasingly agitated gland, the good thing is that only a droplet of blood drizzled down from his nose.
Not long after, Ling Che put on his cap and closed his eyes to catch up on sleep.
He no longer spoke to anyone inside the vehicle.
Xu Tangzhou was in an extremely complicated mood, he was wondering whether Huang Qian would send him towards his demise because he ruined the chance of Ling Che reconsidering their cooperation because of a nosebleed.

It was silent the whole way as the car drove back to Ling Che’s house.
Ling Che didn’t have an ordinary family background, Xu Tangzhou had pretty much known from the upheaval these days that Ling Che was rumored to have left in a fit of anger because he was unwilling to inherit the family business as the only son of a prominent empire.
After passing through the high-class residential neighbourhood, as well as an artificial lake, the car gradually drove towards a more sparsely populated area.
They couldn’t be considered to have been close to Ling Che’s house when they caught sight of a villa area halfway up the hill.
In addition to the driveway, there was a gently sloping path that appeared to have been built specifically for pedestrians or bicycles, and looked very much in line with the healthy, sporty and low-carbon lifestyle of the rich, even if it may not be of use to them at all.
Two rows of weeping willows were lined on both sides of the path, but their dry branches looked somewhat bleak because of the ongoing winter season.
Fragments of flashbacks suddenly surfaced in Xu Tangzhou’s mind after he took a glimpse at this narrowed trail.
Green willow leaves, the rolling cobalt reel of a bicycle, shoes which had been stained by soil, as well as a bouquet of fresh daisies in his basket; These fragments disappeared too quickly, he couldn’t catch heads or tails of them as the images disappeared into thin air.
His temples were aching.
He always felt that he had been here more than once.
“Ge, don’t disembark from the car.”

The vehicle was parked in front of a garden which meant that they should have arrived, but Xiao’an nervously exclaimed.

Xu Tangzhou lift opened the window curtains and saw that all the equipment had been thoroughly set up, and at least a dozen people were waiting at Ling Che’s entrance.
Without saying a word, Huang Qian began backing up the car: “Let’s leave.”
The paparazzi seemed to have a particularly keen sense of smell, and as soon as the car was in motion, they immediately understood what was going on and rushed up altogether.
“Ling Che! Can you come down here and provide us with an explanation?”
“Is it true that you’ve been blacklisted according to the media? Why didn’t you participate in the New Year Party hosted by Shenhai TV?”
“Ling Che!”
“Ling Che! Did you have a fall-out with Ying Chen? He didn’t even say a single word to defend you this time!”
Xu Tangzhou was shot by a paparazzi’s camera from across the glass window and hastily closed the curtain: “Have they gone insane! How can they be even more terrifying than Sasaeng fans?”
Xiao’an said: “You will understand later on in the future!”
No need for the future, Xu Tangzhou had realized at this very moment.
Ling Che’s degree of popularity was unimaginable to the point that the others wouldn’t be able to receive such attention even if they were to transcend the heavens, and all of this was precisely because they aren’t Ling Che.
The car backed up a few meters and was about to set off when the front was surrounded by these people who were simply crazy enough to disregard their own life for the sake of digging material.
“Move aside!” Huang Qian shouted after stretching out his neck, “Or else I won’t be responsible if you get run over!”
“Let Ling Che come down here!”
“Ling Che!”
“Ling Che! Don’t you have anything to say to all those fans who have expressed their disappointment in you?”
The security patrol car in the villa district arrived, and the guards seemed to have just found out that a group of people had rushed up the mountain, but it was useless to bring their tonfas, because once the paparazzi started causing a ruckus, they made an unreasonable amount of mess leading to the scene being in utter chaos.
Ling Che seemed to be unable to endure any longer and abruptly opened the car window.
“Ge!” Xiao’an jolted, “Don’t!!”
It was too late by the time Xiao’an had finished speaking because Ling Che had already reached out his hand.
And flipped his middle finger at them.
The excitement of the paparazzi outside reached its peak, and a series of cameras snapped shots in a frenzy as the noise of the non-stop chatter nearly suspended their car into the air.
Xu Tangzhou was flabbergasted: Isn’t flipping the middle finger a little too excessive?
Are you really sure you won’t be hacked to death by the paparazzi?
“Huang-ge.” Ling Che agilely closed the car window after showing them his attitude, “Open the lock.”
“Don’t be impulsive.” There’s no way that Huang Qian would give-in, “It’s useless no matter how you reason with them! These paparazzi…… Let’s leave first and give Ya-Jie a call afterwards.”
“This is my house.” Ling Che uttered under his breath, “There’s no reason for me to be afraid of returning home just because my entrance was besieged by them.”
Huang Qian was speechless, and hastily spoke up: “Then I’ll call the police first and wait until they are gone.”
Xu Tangzhou helplessly watched them speak, and had no idea what sort of advice he ought to offer in a situation like this.
Ling Che didn’t seem to be someone who will take advices seriously either.
Huang Qian refused to unlock the car door, so Ling Che simply walked up to the front and easily leaned over before pressing the unlock button by using his height as an advantage
In such a riotous situation, a small “click” of the door unlocking was captured by the paparazzi, and the car door flung open in a flash.
A series of white flashes flicker before Xu Tangzhou’s vision.
This group of people recklessly captured the vehicle’s interior with their cameras while screaming Ling Che’s name out loud.
Xu Tangzhou, who had never witnessed such a spectacle before, felt panicked for a moment.
“Who’s this?”
“May I ask what is the relationship between you two?”
The scene is enough to make anyone’s ears buzz due to the chaos.
Xu Tangzhou’s vision suddenly went black and it seemed that someone had covered him up by the head.
It was Ling Che who had removed his jacket to drape it over his face and said before exiting out of the vehicle: “Scared stiff?”
The paparazzi chased after Ling Che who had disembarked from inside the vehicle.
And the commotion of the crowd gradually dissipated.
Xu Tangzhou placed his jacket aside and saw Ling Che, who stood out before the horde of people, maintained a natural demeanor despite being swarmed to the point that it was difficult for him to even move a step forward.
Xiao’an rushed out of the car as well, and squeezed into the crowd while uttering profanities.
Huang Qian is currently on call with the police: “Yiyuan Villa District, there’s a group of people provoking trouble and trespassing private properties.”

Tonight.
#Ling Che meeting his boyfriend in private#
#Ling Che returning home with a beautiful Omega in tow#
#Ling Che flipping his middle finger#
#Ling Che’s questionable secret affair exposed#
……
These tags occupied Flow’s hot search in chronological order, and all of them were densely packed with Ling Che.
The most popular tag among them was #Ling Che returning home with a beautiful Omega in tow# which had reached first place on the hot search and its prominence would not diminish for a long time to come.
However, one would discover that the contents of #Ling Che returning home with a beautiful Omega in tow# will be contrary to their expectations upon clicking the tag.
【Hahahahahahaha, wtmxs, isn’t that pretty Omega Xu Tangzhou?】
【Yup that’s right. He is indeed a beauty, even I wanted to bring him home with me [Pitiful] (you got the main idea all wrong!)】
【Who’s this ah, he doesn’t look bad at a glance. For the first time, my jealousy isn’t directed towards my inability to garner my husband’s resentment, but his damn temperament instead!】
【So who exactly is this? I want all the data regarding him within two minutes】
【Our Zia-Zia’s expression looks so panicked, you’ve given him a fright! A brief introduction by the way, our son is named Xu Tangzhou, quickly follow him! And we will be considered sisters who shared the same surname!】
Soon afterwards, a famous gossip commentary in the entertainment industry leaked the data.
【To hell with #Ling Che returning home with a beautiful Omega in tow#, does the paparazzi have the brains of a goldfish that can only store seven seconds’ worth of memories??? Can you please be professional and pay attention to the changes in the circle? [Eye Roll] This is Xu Tangzhou, a newcomer signed by Star Realm. Go do your homework if you can’t remember and don’t always beg me to give you free tuition! <- Pointes at Mist advertisement. Star Realm had just finished hosting an annual party last night. How is it strange for God-Che to be with someone from the company? Furthermore, according to a source familiar with the matter, this group of paparazzi surrounded the Fischer Hotel where Star Realm’s annual meeting took place and kept making harassing phone calls to disturb the private lives of guests and artists [disdain]. I am making a rash assumption that God-Che can only avoid detection after splitting up with his agent, and Xu Tangzhou is merely giving him a ride home. [PS: Xu Tangzhou’s manager is the chauffeur.]】
This post got tens of thousands of reposts on Flow and soon slapped the paparazzi’s faces until they were swollen.
The asteroids laughed wildly beneath, praising Xu Tangzhou for a job well done.
【Xiao-Gege had truly taken care of my Ling Che! Such an obedient son!】
【Followed!】
【He fulfilled all his promises, bao-bao is in love [heart]】
Part of the incident soon subsided, and Star Realm released a statement later on, severely condemning the paparazzi for creating trouble out of thin air. In addition, the company mentioned in passing that Ling Che and Xu Tangzhou are only close friends, so speculating at will is refrained.
Once this statement was made public, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was a marketing strategy cast in stone for the discussion regarding Ling Che’s discrimination against Omegas.
The fact that Ling Che is “close friends” with an omega is enough to temporarily shut up those people with malicious intentions of amplifying the situation. It’s a decent start, although it’s far from enough.
Si Tuya was an expert when it came to dealing with such matters.
Xu Tangzhou still hadn’t fathomed the hidden implication at this point.
He skimmed through Flow in order to see if anyone was cursing him out and ended up being slightly confused because there weren’t many people criticizing him this time around.
Up until he spotted a comment that was topping the trending page.
【Am I the only one who had noticed that Gege covered Xu Tangzhou’s head with his jacket after taking it off? It’s indeed super badass, but I am really, really envious either way [Crying Out Loud]… I wanted Gege’s jacket too [Pointy Fingers]】
Ling Che’s jacket was laying on the backrest of the sofa which Xu Tangzhou was currently sitting on.
Ling Che could be a bit annoying at times, but ———-
He retrieved the jacket from the backrest, and the scent of his pheromones does indeed have a pretty nice smell to it.
Soon afterwards.
F*ck.
His nose was bleeding again.

Little bleeding nose—why do you keep acting so blatantly? Hahahaha! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️
Ugh, sorry, but for me paparazzi isn’t a job… They just get money from harrasing, stalking, framing, cursing and blackmailing people, and all these things are normally punishable by law, but for some reason they are accepted when doing by some random pervents with camera…
Thank You for the new chapter ♡〜٩( ╹▿╹ )۶〜♡
Thanks for the chapter! 😘
Hhh Tangzhou is really cute😂 Thanks for new chap
I can’t with misunderstandings… would anyone spoil me whether it’ll take a long time for them to realise XTZ lost his memories huhuhu
My memory is somewhat hazy because it’s been a few months since I finished reading volume two, but if I remember correctly, Ling Che only found out that Xu Tangzhou had amnesia near the 20ish chapters ^^;
Tbh, Ling Che had a premonition that Xu Tangzhou actually lost his memories but never dared to accept such a possibility.….. It wasn’t until Xu Tangzhou start showing abnormalities during their time on the variety show (The Perfect Vacation) which led to Ling Che ultimately confirming his suspicion after inquiring about Xu Tangzhou’s conditions over a phone call with Si Tuya (:з」∠)
Thank you for the answer!! I just get too much anxiety from misunderstandings hahah.. I will probably stockpile chapters a bit before reading in the future!
I think he needs to check his health. I talk like this is not a book character，but if you other have this problem with blood from your nose, you should be careful
Thank you for your translation 🤍🤍🤍
Thanks for the chapter ❤️❤️
Haha his hotness causes nosebleeds 😏❤️
