My performance on a breakup reality show brought Tien Hsi-wei to tears, and I became an internet sen

Chapter 70 An Epic Problem

Li Shen remained silent for the next two couples.

One couple was embroiled in a bitter feud over property, while the other was promiscuous.

Such emotional problems are so complex that even Bao Zheng (a famous Chinese judge) couldn't resolve them. Outsiders offering advice only offer half-hearted attempts to smooth things over.

Li Shen would only offer a few words of advice to those who genuinely did not want a divorce and whose conflicts were very clear.

Another couple arrived.

The woman accuses the man of being lazy, while the man complains that the woman escalates and exacerbates the conflict whenever they argue.

Simply put, it means that even something as trivial as the man not washing his feet can trigger a woman's furious outburst. She'll dredge up all the old grievances, vent her anger, and then act like she's going to die, heartbroken and devastated.

The man was speechless: "It's just that they didn't wash their feet, can't we stick to the facts?"

This resonated deeply with viewers in the live stream's chat.

My wife does the same thing!

[This seems to be one of the emotional traits of women, and there's no solution to it!]

[It's not worth getting a divorce over something like this, because the next woman might do the same!]

[Similarly, sister, the next man might not wash his feet either.]

The man and woman were arguing fiercely.

Everyone tried to persuade him, but to no avail.

The man's emotions grew increasingly agitated: "I've had enough! It's always like this! Why?!"

"Tian Xiwei, let's break up too."

Li Shen's sudden sigh drew everyone's attention.

Even the couple looked at Li Shen with suspicion.

"Ugh! I've had enough!" Li Shen covered his face, lowered his head, and sighed dejectedly.

Everyone: "???"

The man looked at Li Shen: "???"

The couple looked at each other, bewildered. Weren't we supposed to be mediating? Why were they asking the mediator for empathy?

Li Shen lamented, accusing, "Tian Xiwei, you're throwing a tantrum and messing everything up! I've had enough of you. If we don't break up, I'm afraid I'll hit you. Breaking up is the best choice for both of us."

Tian Xiwei raised an eyebrow: "Fine, let's break up!"

Mediator Zhang Xiuna was completely bewildered: "Why are you two fighting? Why did you break up?"

Li Shen: "She's always like this, how can we not break up? How can we not break up?"

At this point, Li Shen slammed his hand on the table, startling the man.

Li Shen sighed, "Breaking up was for Tian Xiwei's own good. Otherwise, if it happened again, I'm afraid I would hit her."

The man was startled and finally couldn't help but speak up: "Li Shen, a man shouldn't hit a woman!"

Li Shen complained, "But I can't stand her!"

Man: "You have to put up with it! All women are like this. If you find another one, it might still be the same. My example is right in front of you!"

Women have their flaws, and so do we men!

Love is about mutual tolerance and understanding, isn't it? Just bear with it, she still has a cute side!

Li Shen looked up: "Don't you understand perfectly well?"

Man: "Huh?"

Li Shen waved his hand: "Let's go! Next one!"

Man: "Huh? Haha!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Bullet comments:

[Dog Bro is so smart!]

[Give Dog Bro a thumbs up!]

[Those two female mediators should take note!]

Li Shen's approval rating: 71%

Another group was successfully formed.

Tian Xiwei didn't say anything, but Li Hangliang spoke up for her.

Li Hangliang: "Shenzi, Xiaotian doesn't usually bring up past grievances when they argue, does she?"

"When did I say she likes to bring up the past when we argue? I said that when she's in a bad mood, she messes things up, and I can't stand it!"

-

"Isn't that pretty much the same thing?"

Li Shen: "Whenever she throws a tantrum, she washes my clothes and socks, and even buys me clothes. I've had enough!"

Everyone: "————"

Li Shen: "Tian Xiwei, you're being too nice to me. I'm going to punch you too. I'm saying this one last time!"

Everyone: "————"

[Oh, is that how you beat someone up? Haha!]

[Such unexpected dog food!]

[I initially thought your goal was to persuade that couple to leave, but it seems I was naive. Your real purpose was to show off your affection!]

In the "Marriage and Family Counseling Room" segment, Li Shen stayed for two hours and skillfully persuaded couples whose problems were not serious to leave.

The moment Li Shen walked out of the tutoring room, the screen was filled with positive comments:

[Li Shen completely outshone those two official mediators!]

[I actually saw a shining side of Dog Bro today!]

[Dog Brother's Merit +1]

[Seeing what Dog Bro did made me realize that you need to use your brain when giving advice.]

[A day of boundless merit for Dog Bro!]

Li Shen's approval rating: 86%!

Li Shen and Tian Xiwei entered the certificate awarding hall, where they were doing another volunteer job, assisting the newlyweds with taking photos.

Based on her own experience, Yoko told Li Shen that in the marriage certificate hall, no one issues the certificate or requires couples to recite their vows; all of this is the couple's personal decision.

The scene has been set up for you, the table is clean, and there are all sorts of romantic vows on the wall. However, this ceremony is something you, the newlyweds, need to complete yourself.

Tian Xiwei was very happy to volunteer in the certificate awarding hall, and Li Shen was also very happy.

Listening to couples happily reciting their vows and helping them take photos that they will cherish for a lifetime, Li Shen felt a sense of shared joy.

-

Zhang Ruonan suddenly walked into the certificate awarding hall: "Li Shen, come over and mediate, there's a problem here."

"What's wrong?"

"There's this couple sitting in the lobby, and none of us can mediate their situation."

The couple had been in the waiting area for a full day, from the time they arrived in the morning until now, just before closing time.

Most of the time, they are silent, occasionally arguing quietly, and then falling silent again.

Today, a newlywed couple also broke up on the spot, but they left quickly.

But this couple is stuck at the point of whether or not to get married.

They sat there blankly in the waiting area, attracting everyone's attention within a day.

Several guests approached the couple and asked them questions, but the couple showed no desire to confide in them.

From the fragmented words and the content of their argument, everyone roughly understood the whole story.

The woman works in an overseas investment bank, and the man is a civil servant in China; they are in a cross-border relationship. The woman wants to get married and specifically returned to China to register their marriage, but the man hesitated today.

Li Shen asked in confusion, "This isn't within the scope of a marriage mediator, nor is it divorce proceedings."

"So we went to the waiting area to try to untangle their knots! Because we felt that they were truly in love, but the man just lacked that little bit of courage."

"oh."

When Li Shen reached the waiting area, Yangzi got up from beside the couple, and his attempts to persuade her failed.

Yoko shook her head at Li Shen: "Difficult!"

Seeing Li Shen approach, the bespectacled man pushed up his glasses, looked at him carefully, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

Li Shen sat down beside him: "Brother, can I talk to you alone?"

The girl grabbed the boy's hand and shook her head frantically.

Li Shen looked at the girl again: "Believe me, I'm a good person."

97

The girl shook her head even more violently.

She was indeed abroad, but in order to have something in common with her boyfriend, they were both watching "Goodbye Lovers".

My boyfriend was already hesitant to get married. If you, the love assassin, keep trying to persuade him, not only will we not be able to get married, but we might even break up. In the end, we won't even be able to be a couple anymore.

Zhang Ruonan said, "Beautiful lady, at the marriage registration office today, Li Shen's performance garnered an 87% approval rating across the entire internet, overwhelmingly leading all other guests. So, please trust Li Shen."

The girl looked blankly at Li Shen, then at Zhang Ruonan's phone screen, then back at Li Shen, and continued to shake her head.

I can't believe a thing of it!

Li Shendao said, "It seems you're a viewer of the show. When on the show did I ever wish for anyone to separate?"

The girl looked at Mai Lin/Li Hangliang in the distance, this irrefutable evidence.

Li Shen: "Except for the two of them!"

The girl looked at Yoko/Hwang Seung-yi again.

Li Shen: "Except for the two of them!"

Girl: "Including you, there are only four groups of guests in total."

Li Shen: "Oh, hehe."

Zhang Ruonan quickly handed her phone to the girl: "Please take a look at the comments."

[Beautiful lady, trust Dog Bro!]

[Trust Dog Bro!]

[Dog Bro isn't a dog today, he's starting to act like a human!]

[Give Dog Bro a chance, and Dog Bro will give you a surprise!]

The girl stared at the screen, hesitant.

The boy patted the girl's hand: "You stay here, I'd like to hear what he has to say to me."

The boy stood up: "Where are we going?"

"Let's go to the mediation room."

Li Shen and the boy entered the mediation room and took their seats.

There was no one else besides the two of them.

Li Shen said, "There are cameras here, and it's being streamed live online. Should we turn them off?"

"No need, let's get straight to the point!"

The boy leaned back in his chair, tilting his chin up as he looked at Li Shen with a peculiar expression.

Boy: "Didn't you want to persuade me? Go ahead and try!"

"No, I just want to hear your true feelings, that's all. Do you love her?"

-

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"Does she love you?"

"Of course, otherwise she wouldn't have traveled all that way back just to marry a poor guy like me."

Li Shen nodded: "Understood. Next, I'd like to hear about your friend's story."

The boy paused for a moment, then smiled: "Yes, I have a friend like that!"

The boy told his friend's story, which was also his story.

His two love stories are quite common and nothing new, but everyone's depth of love is different, and their ability to cope with heartbreak is also different.

My first relationship was a long-distance one, and we broke up.

In his second relationship, his fiancée ran off with someone else.

So even though he really liked his girlfriend and knew she was willing to marry him, at this moment, when he mustered up the courage to walk into the Civil Affairs Bureau, he was still hurt by the memories of the past.

After the boy finished his story, he said, "My friend and I are as close as brothers. Yes, that's my story. Try to comfort me!"

Li Shen was taken aback. A provocation?

Li Shen squinted at him: "Before, you were always taciturn, why did you suddenly open up to me? And you even tried to persuade me twice. Why did you want me to persuade you?"

"Because I really want to know how you, my idol, my spiritual confidant, who has always spoken up for me on the show, have comforted me."

Li Shen retorted, pointing at himself, "Am I your idol?"

"I've been listening to the song 'Time Difference' on repeat these days! You are in the polar day, I am in the eternal night, it's like it's being sung to me and her, one in mainland China, the other overseas."

Every time I listen to it, I feel more and more desperate. Then I listen to it again and try to find emotional resonance.

So when I heard that they were going to call you in to mediate our relationship problems, I was especially curious—how would you, who had been singing "Time Difference" to me all along, guide me?

Beside her, Zhang Ruonan watched the live stream data; the number of viewers online in real time was rapidly climbing! It had already reached the peak of the live stream over the past few days, with 500 million viewers online at the same time.

Li Shen: "Actually, I'm not qualified to guide you; I'm just sharing with you."

Boy: "Even a dog wouldn't date someone who's given love to it. You said it."

-

Li Shen: "Uh—"

Boy: "I am but a passerby in the spring breeze, while you carry the autumn waters and embrace the Milky Way! That's what you said."

Li Shen: "————"

Boy: "I'm not a returning traveler, I'm just a passerby —"

Li Shen: "—"

Boy: "Slowly," "Resentful that Heaven Has Changed Its Heart," "Happy Breakup," "Time Difference" —

Li Shen: "————"

The boy crossed his legs and put his arms around Li Shen's shoulders, dumping all the annoying chatter from the group of artists who had been nagging him all day onto Li Shen.

You guys are always so bored and eager to mediate, aren't you? You even brought Li Shen here, right? Go ahead and mediate, let you mediate!

"Come on, idol, my spiritual resonance! I'm all ears!"

[Holy crap, that hit Dog Bro right where it hurts!]

[The fans cultivated by Dog Brother himself are now turning against him!]

[Brother Dog, you said those words, you wrote the poem, you sang the song, and your fans listened to them all. Now you're trying to get your fans to believe in love?]

[Dog Bro never imagined that the sword he sharpened would one day pierce himself!]

[An epic challenge has arrived!]
