After Losing My Memory, I Suddenly Had A Fiancée - Chapter 14

Ji Fanghuai immediately thought of the argument Jiang Zhi mentioned that was triggered by “bed sports,” and combined with their status as fiancées, it was only natural for Jiang Zhi to desire intimacy with her.

“I’m sorry,” Ji Fanghuai suddenly whispered. “My amnesia has affected our original intimate experiences.”

The more she apologized, the more heartbroken Jiang Zhi felt, but she simply said warmly, “I can wait for you.”

She wasn’t waiting for her memory to recover, but waiting for her to be able to accept her again.

“Mhm.” Ji Fanghuai felt guilty because of that sentence, and suddenly didn’t know how to talk to Jiang Zhi, just murmuring, “Sleep, sleep.”

The woman causing a scene at the coffee shop seemed to be just a minor interlude in life, and Ji Fanghuai still went to the coffee shop.

Jiang Zhi was initially worried about her, but couldn’t argue with her, so she had to let her go.

“Lin Mianmian!” Ji Fanghuai was surprised to run into Lin Mianmian at her own coffee shop.

Lin Mianmian was pleasantly surprised and said, “Do you work here?”

Ji Fanghuai was wearing a uniform, and Lin Mianmian subconsciously assumed she was an employee, but then felt like she wasn’t.

“I opened this coffee shop.” Due to the memory loss, Ji Fanghuai felt a little unreal saying this, then changed the subject and said, “Your helmet looks really cool today.”

Lin Mianmian introduced it very seriously: “This helmet has a load-bearing capacity of 150 kilograms, it’s very safe.”

“There have been several electric scooter accidents recently. Some people survived because they wore helmets, and others lost their lives because they didn’t. This shows the importance of helmets.”

An accident on an electric scooter—are there other ways to die?

Ji Fanghuai felt that Lin Mianmian’s dependence on the helmet was almost obsessive. In fact, it’s almost impossible to avoid being killed by an accident; accidents are everywhere.

However, she probably understood that Lin Mianmian treated the helmet as a form of psychological comfort. She just nodded in agreement and asked, “What kind of coffee do you want? I’ll brew it for you.”

Lin Mianmian smiled shyly, “Iced Americano, no sugar, no milk.”

Ji Fanghuai personally made the coffee, and the two sat down and chatted.

After drinking it, Lin Mianmian casually mentioned, “Last year, I also drank coffee at a shop in B City. Their décor was very similar to this one, and I didn’t expect the taste to be exactly the same. Is it a chain store you opened?”

Ji Fanghuai was surprised and asked, “Coffee shop décor is generally similar. Do you remember the name of that shop? Maybe it really is a chain.”

“I went there on a rainy day. I was busy holding an umbrella and forgot to look at the name,” Lin Mianmian said with a shy smile.

Ji Fanghuai didn’t take it seriously in the first place, so she didn’t mind. She offered it like a treasure, saying, “Try my new dessert too.”

“You are so amazing,” Lin Mianmian praised. “I can’t make anything.”

“I just learned it. I can’t even cook a meal,” Ji Fanghuai forked a piece of cake and slowly ate it.

She suddenly thought of something. Jiang Zhi had said her new dessert was very delicious and wanted to take some to the company.

She didn’t know if it was really delicious; she clearly remembered Jiang Zhi looking somewhat resistant when she saw the strawberry jam.

“Hey.” Lin Mianmian shook the fork in her hand.

Ji Fanghuai snapped out of her thoughts, rubbed her nose awkwardly, and asked, “What did you say?”

Lin Mianmian said, “I asked if you are feeling better now?”

“I feel fine now, it’s just that Jiang Zhi always makes a fuss,” Ji Fanghuai complained a little. “She doesn’t let me do anything.”

Lin Mianmian gave a look of understanding and said, “That’s normal. Excessive care stems from deep concern.”

Ji Fanghuai noncommittally agreed. Jiang Zhi was indeed very concerned about her, but sometimes her concern was a bit too much.

After eating the dessert, Lin Mianmian opened her laptop and said, “If you are bored, you can watch an anime with me. This is for my work.”

Ji Fanghuai was indeed bored. She took the earphone and asked, “What is your job? Freelancer?”

“I’m a painter, looking for inspiration.”

The two sat side-by-side with earphones on, looking at the laptop screen.

Jiang Zhi arrived just in time to see this scene.

“Fanghuai.”

“Why are you suddenly here?” Ji Fanghuai slowly took off the earphone, completely unaware that Jiang Zhi might be jealous.

“I didn’t have anything today, so I wanted to get off work early.” Jiang Zhi seemed to have just noticed Lin Mianmian, “Miss Lin.”

“Miss Jiang.” Lin Mianmian felt a chill down her spine. She manually paused the anime, looked left and right, and then said to Ji Fanghuai, “I just remembered I have another draft, I’ll be leaving now.”

“You…” Before Ji Fanghuai could finish her sentence, Lin Mianmian had already grabbed her helmet, emphasizing before leaving, “If you give me a free order again next time, I won’t come back.”

“What did you do?” Ji Fanghuai shot Jiang Zhi a glare. She didn’t need to be told; she knew it was because of Jiang Zhi that Lin Mianmian left.

She came in all cold, as if the other person owed her two million yuan.

Jiang Zhi blinked innocently and said in a pleasant tone, “I didn’t do anything.”

Ji Fanghuai ignored her, took out her phone, and continued watching the anime from before.

Jiang Zhi said, “I want to watch too.”

The two watched, each with one earbud.

“It would be better to buy Bluetooth earphones next time,” Ji Fanghuai complained.

The wired earphone was so tangled that she didn’t dare to move.

“This one is quite good,” Jiang Zhi turned her head, looking at Ji Fanghuai’s close-by eyelashes, her eyes full of smiles.

After finishing the twelve-episode anime, Ji Fanghuai stretched, then belatedly realized that Jiang Zhi was right next to her watching, and she nonchalantly retracted her stretched arms.

“Time to close up.”

Ji Fanghuai packed her things, ready to go home. She felt that deciding to come to the coffee shop was the best decision she had made recently. Every time she went out, there was a new gain or a new surprise.

Jiang Zhi also seemed to be in a good mood and said, “Want to go out for a walk?”

“I don’t know anyone, so no.” Before leaving, Ji Fanghuai greeted the owner of the bookstore next door. The owner said she envied her for having someone to pick her up every day, and how happy she must be.

“It seems you are quite adapted to this new environment,” Jiang Zhi asked casually. “You also know quite a few people.”

“Counting you, there aren’t many. I can count them on one hand,” Ji Fanghuai calculated seriously, and indeed there weren’t many people she knew.

Friend Xin Ling, cousin Shen Jing, nutritionist Sun Wen, fellow patient Lin Mianmian, the bookstore owner, and the assistant Mi Li.

That seemed to be it.

Jiang Zhi comforted her, saying, “No rush, you’ll get to know more people after a while.”

Ji Fanghuai also felt that she was adapting well and casually asked, “Is it really okay for you to leave work so early today? Are all bosses this free?”

Jiang Zhi said, “When the money is in place, you can be free for a while.”

Ji Fanghuai: “…”

Jiang Zhi had to confess, saying plainly, “Xin Ling is looking after things at the company.”

Ji Fanghuai wondered why Xin Ling would willingly stay at the company.

Jiang Zhi then asked, “Did Miss Lin intentionally come looking for you?”

Ji Fanghuai shook her head, pretending to be profound, and said, “It’s fate.”

Jiang Zhi smiled, looking thoughtful.

After that, Lin Mianmian would visit the coffee shop every now and then. Sometimes she would sit for the whole day. The coffee shop environment was good and convenient for creative work. She didn’t expect to be viewed as an object of jealousy by Jiang Zhi.

“You rarely go out, do you?” Ji Fanghuai and Lin Mianmian agreed to go shopping at the mall.

Lin Mianmian touched her head. Since she was going out more often, she could take off the stuffy helmet. She said, “I rarely go out. I mostly stay at home. My parents set me up on blind dates, and I only go out when I really can’t decline.”

“You’ve already started going on blind dates?” Ji Fanghuai was shocked. Before she could finish her sentence, her phone vibrated.

It was Jiang Zhi.

Outside the coffee shop, Jiang Zhi had her left hand on the steering wheel and her right hand holding a photo of her and Ji Fanghuai. In the photo, Ji Fanghuai looked young and innocent, like an unripe green apple.

“Fanghuai, where are you now?” Jiang Zhi asked with a pleasant tone, her eyebrows curved.

Ji Fanghuai didn’t know how Jiang Zhi knew she wasn’t at the shop, and said, “We are at Times Square. I’ll be back soon.”

“We? You and Miss Lin?” Jiang Zhi slightly raised an eyebrow, tightening her grip on the photo.

Ji Fanghuai said, “Yes, we came out to shop. We’ll go back soon.”

Jiang Zhi said, “Send me the address, I’ll pick you up.”

“Okay.” Ji Fanghuai gave Jiang Zhi the address and continued shopping.

Lin Mianmian said, “Your fiancée is really considerate.”

Ji Fanghuai felt that Jiang Zhi restricted her in many ways, but she was indeed very gentle and considerate.

She also didn’t know if this was normal or not.

Since there was a convenient consultant next to her, she asked Lin Mianmian, “May I ask if you have ever been in a relationship?”

“No, I’ve been single for twenty-six years, since birth. I’m not planning to date. I think I’m an anti-marriage advocate,” Lin Mianmian spread her hands. “It’s just that my parents think this is unacceptable.”

Ji Fanghuai finally found a word that accurately described herself and agreed wholeheartedly, “To be honest, I also feel that I should be anti-marriage.”

“Ah? You’re engaged? How can you still be anti-marriage? Is it a business alliance? Or were you engaged since childhood?” Lin Mianmian was very shocked.

Ji Fanghuai was also surprised by Lin Mianmian’s wild imagination.

In fact, saying she was anti-marriage was a more gentle way of putting it; she subconsciously felt that she might be afraid of marriage.

Having gotten more familiar with Lin Mianmian, Ji Fanghuai didn’t intend to hide it from her, saying, “I lost my memory in that accident.”

“The time you were hospitalized?” Lin Mianmian was shocked again.

She had always lived an ordinary life and couldn’t imagine amnesia, a plotline that only happens in TV dramas.

“Yes, when I woke up, Jiang Zhi was taking care of me. She said she was my fiancée, but I have amnesia, so I completely don’t know how to interact with her,” Ji Fanghuai said honestly.

Lin Mianmian digested the news and said, “I think your current way of getting along is quite good. If you hadn’t said anything, I wouldn’t have known you had amnesia.”

“As for feeling that you might be anti-marriage, in fact, many young people nowadays say they are afraid of marriage or are anti-marriage, but most of them haven’t met the person they genuinely love. Maybe you and Jiang Zhi are like that, and you’ll decide to get married once you discover its true love.”

Lin Mianmian spoke convincingly. Ji Fanghuai had also thought the same and had verified it, but that wasn’t the problem.

“That’s because the way you see us interact is only on the surface,” Ji Fanghuai said, feeling a bit ashamed to speak of it. She spoke very vaguely: “For example, managing intimacy, I completely don’t know how to handle it.”

Jiang Zhi had shown affection for her more than once.

She really didn’t know how to respond when things were about to cross a line.

Ji Fanghuai spoke in a roundabout way, and Lin Mianmian scratched her head before realizing she was talking about sex.

She stamped her foot, her face red, and said, “I’m not sure how to deal with that either, but my mom is a gynecologist.”

“What does that have to do with your mom?” Ji Fanghuai blurted out, her face red, nearly dying of embarrassment on the spot.
