Chapter 1168 Jiang Wengao's Arrogant Theory
Seeing that the ministers were quite interested in his answer, Jiang Wengao replied with great enthusiasm, "That depends on the other party's wishes!"
Minister, imagine this: I have amnesia and don't remember that person at all. It's like I'm walking down the street and someone suddenly walks up to me and says, "She used to be my girlfriend, but I've forgotten her."

What's going on here? This is totally a flirtation!

When faced with this situation, most people would assume the other person has ulterior motives. The normal reaction would be to treat the person differently depending on their personality. For example, a beautiful woman might agree to chat up a handsome man, no matter how ridiculous his excuse is. But if she encounters an ugly man, the outcome would be quite different.

So in this situation, that was my first reaction, and I think most people would react the same way. No one would readily believe a stranger's illogical claims.

However, in this scenario, since it's stated that we can be certain the other party isn't lying, we need to switch to the second way of thinking.

The hardest choice for me to make is definitely to abandon my current happy life and integrate into the life of a 'stranger,' abandoning my current family. The guilt I feel is something that most people cannot bear.

However, it would be unreasonable to betray a past lover who has been searching for me for so long, especially if this past lover also fits my current aesthetic standards.

To be honest, I would like to integrate her into my current life, provided, of course, that my current wife agrees.

Jiang Wengao stroked his chin, explaining earnestly and excitedly, as if he had completely immersed himself in the virtual scene.

“I didn’t expect you to be so…hehe~” Kehen hinted meaningfully.

"So you're thinking of building a harem?"

The women began to condemn him, but Jiang Wengao immediately defended himself, saying, "You can't say that! I already said that I only did it because my current wife is willing."

After all, happiness or unhappiness is a personal feeling, you should understand that, right? Many of those corrupted by curses have quirks that are incomprehensible to ordinary people, but they are very happy.

People live for themselves, not for societal moral standards. If I'm happy, my past lovers are happy, and my current lovers are happy, then what's wrong with that?

Those who oppose it are just condemning it from a moral high ground! Actually, just look at those entertainment products and you'll know that everyone is very greedy. Otherwise, why would there be so many harem anime and otome anime?

The reason for condemning it in reality is simply because the harmonious coexistence depicted in anime is rarely seen in reality. But if it were possible, I don't think it would be a big deal; everyone would be happy!

Runichiro raised his long arm and interrupted, "Alright, little brother Jiang, I know you're a harem supporter. They might oppose you, but I will stand firmly by your side because... I'm a harem supporter too!"

Compared to hypocritical moralists, those of us who confront our inner desires are the ones who are truly living.

Kehen: "Um... what do otaku like and dislike?"

Mo Ying: "Although I don't completely support it, Xiao Gao's theory actually aligns with the theory of desire. If one possessed absolute power, most humans would make this choice."

Ancient emperors had multiple wives and concubines, and the West also had the custom of having lovers. Even Empress Wu Zetian and many famous princesses completely disregarded the rule of one-on-one marriage.

After tearing away the fig leaf, it's not entirely impossible.

"Sister Ying, your idea is quite avant-garde," Li Ming exclaimed.

Mo Ying shrugged and explained, “I think the exclusivity in love is more about possessiveness and empathy. Because they know they don’t want to share their spouse with others, they also know that being with someone else will hurt the other person. Therefore, they suppress their infatuation and choose fidelity... But if... I won’t give an example, there are more and more men with cuckold fetishes nowadays, and many wives are quite cooperative.”

"Hiss—this topic is starting to veer into the abyss, it feels like it's crossed the line of normal morality," Bai He said half-jokingly. At this moment, Shangguan Yan suddenly pressed on, "So what if your current wife doesn't agree?"

Jiang Wengao shrugged without hesitation: "Then there's nothing we can do."

"If your memories were to return, what would you do?" Shangguan Yan continued to press.

"There's no such premise in the context, so isn't this going off-topic?"

"This scenario is just very interesting, and I want to explore it further. You can say whatever you want; there's no penalty for not drinking."

Jiang Wengao pondered for a moment and said, "This... I don't know, but I like both of them, and it's not like I intentionally want to hurt them, so I can only try my best to make them happy. If someone can't accept this... then there's nothing I can do."

"Xiao Gao, you're definitely going to become a womanizer in the future," Mo Ying teased.

"Sister Ying, I'm very loyal, you clearly understand my theory."

"Alright, alright, what are the other people's answers? Let me see... Hmm, Xiaobai is a responsible person, she thinks we should be responsible for the past and be sincere in the present."

Goro, on the other hand, is a proponent of living in the present, advocating for a dignified end to the past that has been forgotten, and valuing the memories he already possesses.

Junichiro, like Kodaka, is a harem fan, and then Nichika is... whichever one you think fits your aesthetic better, that's the one you should choose.
Does that mean you can simply choose one of the two based on your preference?
I hadn't considered such an extreme selection method. How am I supposed to categorize you like this?

Shangguan Yan gave another ambiguous smile.

Kurosawa Yoru rolled his eyes and punched his brother's shoulder hard: "I think we should just call it the Beast Faction!"

Kurosawa Hikaru defended himself: "Yosuga, people are very realistic these days. Look at the blind dates I went on last time I went back to the village, none of them worked out. It's because my job isn't stable enough. Everyone looks at external conditions. Realistic conditions are the foundation of a relationship, okay? I'm just being pragmatic!"

If I were that person with amnesia right now, she couldn't possibly stop me from finding someone better, could she? Otherwise, she doesn't love me, and if she doesn't love me, why should I care about her feelings?

Faced with such heated opinions, others quickly joined the debate, chattering away, while Shangguan Yan continued to tally the positions and brief opinions of the others.

Then, she saw Xia Shou's choice.

Xia's idea is: if you lose your memory, you will take responsibility for the people you know from the past, but you will not be able to give your heart to them.

If the other person has amnesia, then they will try to create a chance encounter.

After reading it aloud, Shangguan Yan raised an eyebrow, cast a meaningful glance at him, and casually asked, "The first answer was the same as Xiaobai's, so is the reason the same?"

Xia Shou nodded: "More or less, but the reasons are a little different. My thought process is a little different from Brother Bai's. I did a simple logical deduction and finally came to this conclusion."
