36.

The film emperor felt that some people were born suited for kissing, just like him and the psychiatrist right now.

The moment their lips were pressed together and tongues intertwined, the reaction elicited from him seemed so natural.

When the film emperor woke up the next day, his head pounded painfully like it had been punched by someone. He raised his hand, wanting to rub it a little, but heard a soft whimper coming from his chest.

He snapped his eyes open and looked. Almost instantly, his entire face was dyed in a smile.

The psychiatrist was still asleep, lying quietly on his chest, within his arms. The feeling of his soft hair on his skin made him feel a sense of satisfaction he had never found anywhere else in his life.

It wasn’t really something he never felt before though. Deep down, he could tell that there was an image like this before, but he just couldn’t recall it.

37.

The psychiatrist opened his eyes as a light shade of pink dusted his face, “You got really drunk last night.”

“I wasn’t drunk.” The film emperor said firmly, “I still remember that I kissed you.”

The psychiatrist’s jumped up with his face flushed, running off to wash up.

The film emperor could feel a mass of pink bubbles called happiness rapidly spreading within his chest.

He couldn’t resist the urge to curl up the corners of his mouth and smile. Someone close to turning 30 was acting like a 16 or 17-year-old brat in this moment.

The psychiatrist dawdled for a long time before coming out of the bathroom.

The film emperor sat on the bed with his messy hair and said to him, “Ah Ning, I like you. Can I pursue you?”

The psychiatrist bit down on his lips, not answering him directly.

“The time isn’t early anymore. I have to go to work now.”

The film emperor’s heart sank.

38.

The two of them did not contact each other for several days after that. The film emperor realized that the psychiatrist was avoiding him.

The film emperor had never pursued anyone, so he didn’t know what he should do next.

But he was sure the psychiatrist had feelings for him. When they kissed that day, the psychiatrist definitely fell for him just as the film emperor did too.

If so, why did he reject him? He couldn’t understand that.

39.

With the reason of being in a poor mental state, the film emperor rejected a few events and recuperated quietly at home.

With nothing else to do, he turned on the TV and watched a movie trailer come on just in time. The male lead actor looked really familiar.

After giving it some thought, the film emperor dialed the starlet’s phone number.

And the two of them agreed to meet in the place they first met.

40.

When the starlet appeared, he was clearly different from how he previously carried himself.

He was already good-looking in the first place, with an extra sweet look when he smiled. Taking advantage of the large wave of attention from his scandal with the film emperor back then, his career was in full swing now.

The film emperor poured him some tea and casually asked, “How are you doing lately?”

The starlet replied, “Pretty good.”

He smiled a little, “Well then, you’ll have to go your own way from now on.”

The starlet knew that the film emperor had found out the truth long ago. He fumbled to explain, stammering, “I…I didn’t mean to lie to you. At first, I only wanted to gain some attention from it…”

Yet, he didn’t expect to run into a film emperor who couldn’t remember anything.

41.

The film emperor did not beat around the bush with him anymore and asked, “Where did you get that photo from?”

The starlet came prepared, taking out a phone from his bag and said, “I found it in a café.”

The film emperor took it and tried to switch it on but it was out of battery.

He asked again, “Are there any other photos in here?”

“Yes. There are many of them.” The starlet said, “Don’t worry, I never showed it to anyone else.”

42.

The film emperor took the phone home and charged it.

His breathing stopped the second he opened the photo album.

Half of the entire album were photos of him and another person. Some were taken when they went mountain climbing and had a barbecue, some were in a rollercoaster and there were also some of them playing with fireworks.

The dates shown were all after the car accident occurred three years ago.

The film emperor in the photos wore hoodies and sweatshirts, smiling really foolishly. Those clothes hadn’t been worn in many years.

""

The other person hadn’t changed much from how he was in the present. Leaning in the arms of the film emperor, he was smiling really happily. On his wrist was the watch that he returned to the film emperor before.

That person was the psychiatrist.
