I Got A Girlfriend After Losing My Memory (Transmigration) - Chapter 13

As Tang Fuzhi’s officially acknowledged girlfriend, Tao Ran saw no need to restrain herself. She would act on her impulses.

But Tang Fuzhi refused, holding up a hand between them and pouting. “No kissing until my lips heal.”

She had her limits. She’d indulged Tao Ran countless times before, but yesterday’s incident had gone too far.

She’d even bled!

Tao Ran lowered her gaze to the jade-like palm beneath her lips and flicked her tongue across it. She lifted her eyes, her bewitching peach blossom eyes filled with Tang Fuzhi.

The wetness on her palm made Tang Fuzhi instinctively withdraw her hand, stumbling back half a step. She stared at Tao Ran in disbelief, then quickly averted her gaze, her cheeks flushing crimson.

“What are you doing?” she stammered.

How could she do that? That’s totally against the rules!

Tang Fuzhi pressed her lips together. She had to admit, Tao Ran’s seductive charm was truly captivating. She pressed her licked hand against her chest, feeling her heart pound.

Tao Ran raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing on her lips. “You didn’t say I couldn’t kiss your palm.”

Who even tries to exploit loopholes like that?

Tang Fuzhi, utterly mortified, glared at her, her eyes dewy and brimming with a hidden allure she herself couldn’t see. “You can’t kiss me anywhere without my permission!”

Her voice was soft and sweet, utterly lacking any real bite, like a fluffy kitten baring its harmless claws, pretending to be a tiger.

Tao Ran resorted to her old trick, feigning pitifulness. “But we used to do this all the time…”

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Fuzhi clamped a hand over her mouth.

A moment later, remembering the sticky sensation on her palm, Tang Fuzhi quickly withdrew her hand, terrified Tao Ran might lick it again.
“I’ve lost my memory! I don’t remember anything!”

Having learned her lesson, Tang Fuzhi stubbornly refused to meet Tao Ran’s pitiful, pleading gaze. Steeling her resolve, she began to act shamelessly. “Since I don’t remember anything anyway, next time, you’re not allowed to… you’re not allowed to do that to me without my permission.”

The young woman’s bashful demeanor was utterly adorable, a side of her Tang Fuzhi had never seen during their “good friend” days. Tao Ran couldn’t resist teasing her. “Not allowed to do what?”

She took a step forward, closing the distance between them until their breaths mingled. Her lips first brushed lightly against Tang Fuzhi’s forehead. “Is it here?”

Before Tang Fuzhi could react, her lips landed on the tip of her upturned nose, her husky voice sending shivers down Tang Fuzhi’s spine. “Or perhaps here?”

Gradually, her lips moved to Tang Fuzhi’s pale, delicate cheek. “Or perhaps here?”

Finally, they settled on Tang Fuzhi’s flushed lips, where her earlier attempt at a kiss had failed. “Or… here?”

Tang Fuzhi seized the moment Tao Ran leaned in for a kiss, her sharp teeth flashing as she retaliated with a bite.

The skin on Tao Ran’s lips was thin, tearing easily. Blood stained her crimson lips, but Tang Fuzhi, unlike Tao Ran, didn’t bother wiping it away before leaving.

Tao Ran licked the blood.

It tasted metallic, lacking her sweetness.

“What’s wrong?”

Tang Fuzhi glared at her, huffing petulantly. “Why did you bite me yesterday?” she demanded, her voice dripping with resentment.

She held grudges fiercely.

When the young woman was angry, her cheeks puffed out like some marine creature, her amber eyes darting around, refusing to meet Tao Ran’s gaze.

Amused, Tao Ran patted her head and leaned closer, offering her still-bleeding lip. “Still mad? Want another bite?”
This only infuriated Tang Fuzhi further. It was like punching cotton wool: futile and exhausting. Wordlessly, she grabbed Tao Ran’s hand and tugged her toward the door. Tao Ran was surprised; she’d expected Tang Fuzhi to turn away in embarrassment.

At the door, Tang Fuzhi shoved Tao Ran aside and slammed the door shut with a bang. “No, no, absolutely not! Not anywhere!”

Her voice was loud, as if to emphasize her resolve.

Tao Ran, inexplicably kicked out, rubbed her nose, realizing she’d gone too far and annoyed the young woman. She spoke softly, “Remember to come out for breakfast.”

Having stood for quite a while, Tang Fuzhi’s legs were starting to ache. She leaned against the door, her cheeks flushed.

I can’t let my guard down, she thought, clenching her fists. I can’t indulge Tao Ran so much. Next time, I won’t fall for her act again.

Mentally prepared, Tang Fuzhi finally pushed herself off the door and steadied herself against the wall as she made her way toward her wheelchair.

She’d stood long enough for one day. It was time to sit down and rest.

Settling into the wheelchair, Tang Fuzhi felt the ache in her legs ease. She maneuvered the chair to the bedside, picked up her phone, and prepared to leave. Her peripheral vision caught the mirror on the desk.

The girl in the mirror had delicate features and pale skin. Dressed in black and crimson, she resembled a vampire aristocrat from the last century, except for her bloodless lips, still bearing the mark of Tao Ran’s bite from the previous night.

Next to the mirror was a row of lipsticks. Tang Fuzhi’s eyes lit up as she casually picked one and applied it to her upper lip. The wound from the previous night had mostly healed, leaving only a faint mark that didn’t detract from her overall appearance.

Tang Fuzhi glanced at her reflection and, satisfied with how she looked, decided to leave the lipstick on.

With her lips now vibrant, Tang Fuzhi felt her beauty had leveled up. Even the lingering annoyance from Tao Ran’s teasing vanished. She happily maneuvered her wheelchair into the living room.

The table was already set with soy milk, fried dough sticks, and horseshoe cakes. Tang Fuzhi was surprised. “That was quick.”
If she remembered correctly, only a few minutes had passed since she’d kicked Tao Ran out. How had she managed to buy everything so quickly?

“I asked He Ruo to get it while you were changing,” Tao Ran replied.

Her gaze immediately fell on Tang Fuzhi’s newly rouged lips, which now looked even more kissable.

Tao Ran walked over and helped push the wheelchair, restraining herself from being too forward. She’d already pushed Tang Fuzhi’s buttons earlier; any further teasing might make her snap.

“You used to love the horseshoe cakes from this place before you lost your memory. Try one,” Tao Ran said, holding a cake out to Tang Fuzhi and gesturing for her to take a bite.

Tang Fuzhi took a bite. Scalding broth, fragrant with meat, flowed out, utterly free of any fishy taste. The filling, a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat, was rich but not greasy.

Her eyes lit up. After two days of bland porridge and vegetables, the small portion of braised pork Tao Ran had given her yesterday had been deliberately meager, barely enough to satisfy her craving.

“Delicious!”

“This was your favorite place before you lost your memory,” Tao Ran said, her beautiful peach blossom eyes curving upward as she watched Tang Fuzhi eat with such obvious enjoyment. The sight reminded her of Tang Fuzhi’s life before the amnesia.

Tang Fuzhi had always loved water chestnut cake, but the ones at school were mediocre at best, not bad, but certainly nothing special. This meant she had to go to a shop quite far away whenever she wanted some, which was inconvenient.

When Tao Ran learned about this, she used her connections to secure a storefront on campus. She then negotiated with the water chestnut cake shop owner, offering to waive the rent in exchange for moving his business to the school.

The school’s foot traffic was consistently high, and the shop owner had long wanted to relocate there, but the high rent and lack of connections had always held him back.

Now that Tao Ran had offered him a storefront, the shop owner naturally couldn’t refuse.

However, being an honest man, he insisted on paying Tao Ran fair market rent.

Thinking of how delighted Tang Fuzhi had been when the shop owner moved to the school, Tao Ran couldn’t help but smile.

Tang Fuzhi devoured several water chestnut cakes in one go. Glancing at the two lonely cakes remaining in her bowl, she felt a twinge of guilt.

After all, Tao Ran had arranged for someone to buy them. Leaving none at all seemed a bit rude.

Silently, she pushed the bowl toward Tao Ran and poked a straw through the lid of her soy milk. “Want some?”

The words were polite, but her gaze remained fixed on the two water chestnut cakes.

Tao Ran naturally noticed Tang Fuzhi’s longing stare. With a raised eyebrow, she picked up one of the cakes with her chopsticks.

Tang Fuzhi’s disappointment was palpable. She silently took a sip of her soy milk, savoring the rich, creamy texture and the delicate fragrance of soybeans with a hint of sweetness.

It was delicious, but it still couldn’t compare to the water chestnut cakes.

Lowering her eyes, she resolutely tore her gaze away. Just as she swallowed the soy milk, a soft, springy water chestnut cake appeared before her eyes.
