After some thought, Jia Hyson decided to go after Song Chuntao.
After all, wouldn't it be dramatic for the old love to meet the new love?
In the story even though Zheng Jinhai completely lost his memory of nearly everything before the accident except for basic knowledge and his parents' appearances, he still recognized Song Chuntao in that 'this woman, why does she make my heart race?' sort of way.
In fact it's revealed later on that beforehand, when Song Chuntao had her photo taken for some business magazine to report her as one of the successful newcomers in that year, Zheng Jinhai had felt he had known this woman but couldn't figure out where, when and why. Because of this he had secretly taken interest in her company and news watching over her distantly in the shadows despite not knowing completely why.
When Song Chuntao confronts him at the circus he had become disappointed in her who kept insinuating vague things and calling him and his family 'scum' and 'villains', and thought she was crazy. However despite his current impression of her, his heart, his feelings, they can't help but urge him to be close to her, irritating him but unable to fight it.
It's the typical 'even though I don't like you I can't get enough of you,' 'even though I shouldn't care, it hurts to see you in pain,' 'even though I don't like you for some reason I feel bad when other men like you'- that sort of feeling. To shake it off he tries to ignore Song Chuntao and ends up getting interested in his new secretary instead. You know, the one who is secretly Song Chuntao.
As for Zheng Ting? Well obviously he only sees her as a sister ah. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jia Hyson skims through the summarized version of the story once again in his mind and can't help but silently spit at it. He knows it's a popular story framework but as a grown man he really can't help but feel ill reading it.
It was really just pure teenage romance cringe, especially the way it was written which emphasized the turbulent emotions of everyone with numerous angsty paragraphs. Honestly the only thing different from those other stories of the same genre was the amnesia and that was so ridiculous even tweenage girls had to complain and give a bad rating.
He cannot, in good conscious, stay in such a story world like this.
Therefore he must stir the pot and create more interesting drama.
"It c-can't be," Jia Hyson turns his head as his ears pick up the familiar silky voice, now taut with nerves and shock, "you, you really don't-"
"I don't know you." A cold baritone voice simply says with faint annoyance. It was definitely a voice that would suit an overbearing CEO character. "Now would you excuse me I-"
Jia Hyson figures this would be the best time to make an appearance. "Chu Chu?" His golden yellow eyes softens as he smiles with the ginger tea in his hand. Because his appearance was too good and too exotic, his entrance becomes a bit more explosive, many people having glanced his way with flushed cheeks. However he only had eyes for Song Chuntao.
"Chu Chu, why did you leave? I got you ginger tea for your stomach." He puts on a doting and warm smile that made many bystanders swoon and bite at their handkerchiefs with envy at Song Chuntao. Before when some idle eavesdroppers overheard Song Chuntao confront Zheng Jinhai they thought she was a woman thrown away by the handsome man who had forgotten her and felt pity. But who knew...
She actually had an even hotter man by her side! Shock!
Both men were handsome but while Zheng Jinhai was a typical handsome CEO, Prince Farrell held the advantage of being an exotic beauty that attracts the eye more simply because he stood out more. Jia Hyson had also wore a white tank top today, which showed off his caramel brown skin, perfect muscles and hinted at even more perfect abs. Compared to Zheng Jinhai's smart casual outfit that contained a long sleeved shirt and blazer that gave a sense of abstinence, Prince Farrell was definitely objectively more erotic and gorgeous.
This plus the comparison of Zheng Jinhai's initial sharp words toward the lady and Prince Farrell's warm attitude and care toward the same lady... many people watching couldn't help but lean toward the foreign man in their hearts.
To be honest, Zheng Jinhai, this overbearing domineering CEO character can only really appeal to readers, female leads, female supporting leads and perverts like Jia Hyson. In the real world, not many people actually like such a cold, tyrannical easily jealous and possessive alpha male. Well, not many would have the patience to unlock such a complicated man's affection in the first place. They want someone warm and supporting, that respect them and are kind.
Of course Jia Hyson wants that too, Drake, Monroe, Li Guiren, Tian Shun and Sefu Karamoy also held such traits. Zheng Jinhai does have them too or he wouldn't be a male lead. He would just be scum. It's just that these things are wrapped up with various unsavory attributes that many people aren't able to break past. Lucky people can get a shortcut to their affections of course, like being a childhood friend or a chance meeting when the man is in a vulnerable position. But still, to the other 99% of the world these sort of characters are to be feared, admired and respected but not necessarily loved.
Of course their face value must be good though. If not they're just creeps abusing their power ah. It really is a pity but Jia Hyson never said people weren't superficial creatures.
"Farrell?" Song Chuntao was a little surprised, then immediately embarrassed. After all this really looks like she went after another man while he had left.
However the embarrassment turns into appreciation as she catches his subtle wink before pressing the still warm tea into her hands. It seems he had overheard the last part and was willing to step in for her.
Flattered as she was, she didn't need that protection right now. She had climbed back up after falling from a tall height when she was young, her resolve was not easily shaken by Zheng Jinhai's unforeseen memory loss. But the comfort of Prince Farrell inevitably soothes her aching heart. She obediently takes a sip of her tea, it's sweet and warming and a little spicy just like the prince.
"Who are you?" Zheng Jinhai demands, an unknown feeling of irritation welling up inside his chest as he sees this handsome foreigner being so gentle toward Song Chuntao. There was also a strange feeling of loss at the sight, like he should be the one doing such a thing for this strange woman. It confused and maybe even frightened him a little and that just made him angrier.
Jia Hyson turns to him and frowns, stepping in front of Song Chuntao protectively, "Who I am is none of your business uncle," he says with some aggressiveness.
Song Chuntao secretly hides her smile. What a good liar. Obviously he knew who Zheng Jinhai was and that Zheng Jinhai was only twenty-seven, two years older than him at most, but he still dared impetuously call him uncle with such a righteous face.
Zheng Jinhai's face turns a little ugly as expected. Uncle? You're an uncle! Your whole family are uncles!
However before he could even do anything, that crazy woman who had been so fierce toward him before, tugged coquettishly at the hem of the foreign man's shirt with a faint but breathtaking smile. It made Zheng Jinhai's heart throb painfully. "Farrell, let's go." She quietly but clearly says.
The foreign man gives her a surprised look, "Really but-"
The woman shakes her head, "I don't want to deal with him anymore, let's go home okay?"
Home. They had a home together?
Zheng Jinhai stares at them blankly as the irritated and helpless feeling suffocates him.
….
"Did yer see his face!" Song Chuntao laughs as she chugs down another glass of beer.
"I did," Jia Hyson patiently repeats as he slowly sips on his cocktail. It's fruity and fucking delicious and it's a goddamn shame straight men have to miss out on this delight because of their pre-conceived straightness.
Bebe: 'And what is 'pre-conceived straightness'?'
Jia Hyson: 'You know, like, uh, hard liquor and fishing and tractors.'
Bebe: ' ಠ_ಠ You define straight men by hard liquor, fishing and tractors.'
Jia Hyson: 'No! I just define their definition of straight men by hard liquor, fishing and tractors. There's a difference.'
Bebe: '...' Is there?
Anyway, Song Chuntao was getting smashed. It was a good thing she was pretty because this scene was not. No wonder the story blacked out and skipped to her hangover the next morning ah. Turns out she was kind of a mean drunk.
"Fecking hilarious!" Song Chuntao cheers, "He deserves it for forgetting about me! That bastard!"
"Such a bastard." Jia Hyson agrees.
"After all he did to me!"
"Mm.."
"He ruined my life!"
"Pretty much."
"And now he has amnesia?!"
"Seems like it."
"That bastard!"
"Such a bastard."
Song Chuntao glares at him. Jia Hyson smiles.
"You! You! Can't you say anything more?!" She accuses with a slur.
Jia Hyson blinks then decides to prod the plot forward a bit. "You should punish him?"
Song Chuntao snorts very inelegantly, looking at him with derision, "Obviously! Bah! What good are you?"
"I'm pretty and very good at sex." Jia Hyson deadpans before giggling uncontrollably. Ah. It seems the cocktails were stronger than he had thought.
As if appeased, Song Chuntao nods like a wise old master, "That's right. You're very good. And your penis is big. Even if I haven't tried it out it's very big. Many people must like it a lot. You should be proud."
Jia Hyson leers at her, "Then maybe you should give it a spin ah?"
Song Chuntao leans forward, cheeks flushed as she leers back, no trace of the cool office lady boss most were used to seeing her as, "I rather give you a spin."
Bebe: '...' Bebe wants to change protagonists. This one is too dirty.
In the end Jia Hyson got fucked so hard he almost begged for mercy. Drunk angry Song Chuntao was very willing to pull his hair and call him her slutty little whore. He was like, all over that.
As expected of a protagonist, they excel at everything. (⺣◡⺣)♡
Bebe: 'Is it really okay to let the female lead master such a skill? What sort of story is this?'
Jia Hyson: 'A great one. I've always thought we should have more sexually active female leads in these sort of stories. So many pure blushing maidens is a little dull you know. I think many more mature audiences will be interested in the change up.'
Bebe: 'Bebe supposes that's true...'
Jia Hyson: 'Besides, other than making her a bit more sexually assertive and diverse it's not like I can change the story much anyway.' ╮(╯∀╰)╭ 'She's still going to plan to make Zheng Jinhai fall in love with her then break his heart ah. My part is pretty minimal. Let me have my fun.'
Just like he said, when Song Chuntao woke up with an aching pain between her temples and Jia Hyson sleeping tiredly next to her, she still managed to get the idea bestowed by the author god of doing the honeypot. However something must have went a little awry because the message seemed to have gotten a bit warped when it came across.
"Okay. Let me get this straight." Jia Hyson groans, rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he sits up. "You want to go to the interview for Zheng Jinhai's personal assistant in a disguise."
Song Chuntao nods.
"You want to essentially seduce him the way he seduced you when you were young."
Song Chuntao hesitates but nods again.
"Then after making him fall for you..." Jia Hyson's face spasms for a moment as he remembers what she had told him not a few minutes before. "You want to train him till he can't live without a dick up his ass, taking his last virginity, then immediately disappear from his life completely and breaking his heart in the process."
This time she nods enthusiastically.
"He stole my first so I'll steal his." She explains with a vicious and eager look in her eyes, "See if he'll forget this time!"
Jia Hyson: '...' (・―・) Oh no he had too much fun and took it too far.
Bebe: 'Bebe is going to kill you.'(╬⓪益⓪)
Bebe: ‘RIP Zheng Jinhai’s chrysanthemum.’
Jia Hyson: ‘Let us all have a moment of silence. For the loss of one of the few pure and untouched things in this world. For a male lead’s chrysanthemum has fallen. Never to bloom again.’
Bebe: ‘That was beautiful.’
Jia Hyson: ‘Thank you.’
Zheng Jinhai: ‘...’
