I Got A Girlfriend After Losing My Memory (Transmigration) - Chapter 27

Tang Fuzhi gazed at Tao Ran’s earnest expression. She never imagined that such a small thing, such a minor promise, one she herself had almost forgotten, would still be remembered by Tao Ran.

In a daze, Tao Ran’s confession from the previous night seemed to ring in her ears again.

“It’s because I like you too much…”

Today, she would prove through her actions that she had taken every word to heart.

It was impossible not to be moved.

But Tang Fuzhi wasn’t one for sentimentality. She didn’t know how to respond to Tao Ran’s feelings; no one had ever taught her.

So she simply reached out her arms, as if asking for a hug.

When the young woman looked at Tao Ran, her amber eyes sparkled, and her rosy lips curved into a slight smile.

Tao Ran chuckled softly, recognizing the girl’s playful affection. She reached down and lifted her up by the armpits into a face-to-face embrace.

Instinctively, Tang Fuzhi wrapped her legs around Tao Ran’s strong waist.

Tao Ran’s waist felt quite different from Tang Fuzhi’s.

Tang Fuzhi wasn’t particularly athletic to begin with, and after three months of bed rest in the hospital, she had lost muscle tone and grown noticeably thinner. Her waist was naturally soft and pliant, making her comfortable to hold. Tao Ran, on the other hand, maintained a regular exercise routine, her waist firm and muscular, radiating strength.

When Tang Fuzhi’s legs encircled Tao Ran’s waist, she immediately felt that power.

At first, Tao Ran hadn’t paid attention to whether Tang Fuzhi was wearing pants or a skirt. But the moment the girl wrapped her legs around her, she realized Tang Fuzhi was wearing a nightgown. This movement, this position…

Tao Ran’s eyes darkened slightly. She shifted her grip, her hand sliding down to support Tang Fuzhi’s thigh, ensuring a more secure hold to prevent her from slipping.

But instead of fabric, her hand met the girl’s soft, bare skin.
Tao Ran’s slender, bony fingers pressed into Tang Fuzhi’s soft, plump thigh, causing the flesh to yield slightly. Tao Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Perhaps emboldened by yesterday’s events, Tang Fuzhi seemed convinced Tao Ran wouldn’t refuse. Her attitude grew even more arrogant, her chin held high as she commanded like a haughty little princess, “Carry me to brush my teeth.”

The morning sun at ten o’clock was already intense, its rays piercing through the window with a faint glare. Yet even this brilliance paled in comparison to the girl’s dazzling radiance.

A faint smile tugged at Tao Ran’s lips, knowing the girl remained blissfully unaware of her own allure.

She had no intention of alerting her. After all, the girl was easily embarrassed; noticing would only make her shy again.

Besides…

As Tao Ran felt the delicate skin beneath her hand, her mind drifted back to the girl’s blue bikini from the night before.

The fair, tender skin, the delicate collarbones, the slight hollow of her lower back, and those legs that seemed to conceal more than they revealed…

These were privileges Tao Ran had never enjoyed before.

Tao Ran carried Tang Fuzhi to the bathroom, her mind racing. How am I supposed to hand her a toothbrush when she’s clinging to me like a koala?

Tang Fuzhi patted Tao Ran’s shoulder, signaling her to put her down.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Tao Ran’s eyes. She wasn’t ready to let go yet, but she reluctantly lowered Tang Fuzhi to the floor.

Tang Fuzhi straightened up and began brushing her teeth, while Tao Ran stood behind her, watching.

Gazing at Tang Fuzhi, who was slightly shorter than her, Tao Ran’s mind still felt hazy from just waking up. Tang Fuzhi brushed her teeth with her eyes closed, her hair swaying gently with each stroke.

White toothpaste foamed between her pearly teeth. After brushing, she rinsed briefly, leaving droplets of water clinging to her lips.
Tao Ran’s eyes darkened slightly, her fingers curling inward as if she could still feel the girl’s soft tongue and sharp canines. She remembered how Tang Fuzhi had nibbled on her finger, too timid to bite hard, only covering it with her mouth and grinding gently while whimpering softly.

As Tao Ran’s fingertips played with her, a trickle of water had escaped from the corner of Tang Fuzhi’s lips, making her look utterly pitiful.

When Tang Fuzhi finished washing her face and looked up at her reflection in the mirror, she realized Tao Ran’s gaze had been fixed on her the entire time. Her eyes were gentle, yet tinged with a hint of desire, much like the night before.

Tang Fuzhi quickly averted her eyes. The red mole Tao Ran had touched the previous night felt faintly warm, and her heart began to race. Feeling inexplicably flustered, she hastily finished washing her face and pushed Tao Ran toward the door. “Okay, I need to change now.”

Just as she shoved Tao Ran to the doorway, the younger woman’s delicate wrist was caught in her hand.

Tang Fuzhi had held Tao Ran’s hand before, but she’d never noticed the thin calluses until yesterday. Now, the lingering sensation of that foreign texture seemed to linger in her mouth. She could vividly recall every inch of Tao Ran’s fingers, every patch of hardened skin.

Tang Fuzhi stammered, “Wh-what are you doing?”

Whenever the younger woman grew nervous, she instinctively lowered her gaze or turned her head away, as if afraid to meet Tang Fuzhi’s eyes. A blush crept across her cheeks, making her look utterly adorable.

Tao Ran leaned down deliberately close to Tang Fuzhi’s ear, lowering her voice to a husky whisper. Her damp breath brushed against Tang Fuzhi’s neck, staining it crimson. “Why are you blushing?”

Tang Fuzhi turned her face away, avoiding Tao Ran’s gaze, and reached up to touch her cheek.

Hmm, it does feel a little warm.

But she stubbornly insisted, “Maybe it’s just stuffy in the bathroom. That’s why I told you to leave.”

As she spoke, she tried to push Tao Ran out.

But Tao Ran didn’t budge. Tang Fuzhi’s feeble attempts were no match for her strength.

Tao Ran leaned closer, her cheek brushing against the right side of Tang Fuzhi’s face. This close, she could see every flicker of emotion in Tang Fuzhi’s expression.

She lowered her voice. “Don’t you think my face feels a little warm too?”

Does it?

Tang Fuzhi’s mind struggled to process the question.

But her own cheeks were already burning, making it impossible to tell if Tao Ran’s were the same.

Afraid to contradict her, she nodded vaguely. “Maybe… a little warm.”

Tao Ran chuckled softly and scooped the younger woman into her arms, cradling her in the same koala-like embrace as before.

Startled by the sudden movement, Tang Fuzhi instinctively wrapped her arms around Tao Ran’s neck.

Tao Ran’s slightly warm hands gripped her thighs. Details she hadn’t noticed before now flooded her awareness.

Was that really the position Tao Ran and I were in just now?

Tang Fuzhi felt a faint burning sensation on her leg where Tao Ran’s hand had touched her, as if it had been scorched by fire.

When Tao Ran had held her earlier, she hadn’t felt any discomfort. But now, perhaps because her feelings had shifted, everything felt wrong.

Even though Tao Ran’s grip had been steady, Tang Fuzhi felt deeply uneasy.

Each breath Tao Ran took seemed to steal the air from the room, leaving Tang Fuzhi breathless.

Her heart pounded wildly, as if it had a mind of its own, its erratic rhythm unsettling her.

They used the same body wash and shampoo, yet Tao Ran always carried a faint scent of cedarwood, completely different from her own.

“Put me down,” Tang Fuzhi said, her voice soft and lacking any real force, more like a gentle plea than a command.
Tao Ran lowered her gaze to Tang Fuzhi’s parted lips, fighting the urge to kiss her. She managed to restrain herself, carrying Tang Fuzhi to the sink and setting her down on the counter.

Settling into the familiar space, Tang Fuzhi couldn’t help but recall the events of the previous night.

A wave of panic washed over her, and she instinctively scooted back a little. But the washbasin offered so little room to maneuver; where could she possibly hide?

“What do you think you’re doing? It’s broad daylight!” Tang Fuzhi blurted out, trying to sound braver than she felt.

As she spoke, she reached out to push against Tao Ran’s chest, attempting to keep her at bay.

But when her hand pressed against that soft, familiar flesh, so similar to her own, her heart lurched. She yanked her hand back, only to have Tao Ran intercept it mid-retreat.

Tao Ran took Tang Fuzhi’s small, boneless hand, her fingertips gently caressing the delicate skin as she guided it to rest against her chest. She chuckled softly. “Do you know why my face is so hot?”

Tang Fuzhi: ???

The sudden shift in topic caught Tang Fuzhi completely off guard, leaving her momentarily stunned.

Tao Ran leaned closer, bracing her other hand against the mirror behind Tang Fuzhi, completely trapping the younger woman in her embrace. Her breathing grew heavier, and just as their lips were about to meet, Tao Ran paused. “It’s because I’m thinking about last night.”

“Last night, we kissed right here.”

“When you covered my eyes, my hand might have even slipped into your mouth, didn’t it?”

Tang Fuzhi felt dazed.

The woman’s suggestive tone, her dark, intense gaze, and the heavy atmosphere made it feel as if they had been transported back to the previous night.

Receiving no response, Tao Ran pressed closer, her eyes burning with desire, as if the intimacy of the previous night had only whetted her appetite.
And it was true. It hadn’t been enough. Not nearly enough. That level of closeness still felt insufficient.

Their breaths mingled, Tang Fuzhi’s fingers digging into the fabric of her skirt, her limbs beginning to tremble.

Gathering her courage, Tang Fuzhi reached out and clutched the hem of Tao Ran’s robe. Her beautiful amber eyes shimmered like starlight, and she bit her lip gently, looking utterly pitiful.

“Please… don’t tease me anymore, okay?”

When Tang Fuzhi finally looked up at Tao Ran, she realized her face wasn’t flushed at all. The earlier heat had been nothing but a ruse.

But none of that mattered now. The important thing was to placate Tao Ran.

As expected, her display of vulnerability worked.

Seeing her like this, Tao Ran suppressed the dangerous glint in her eyes. She reached out and stroked Tang Fuzhi’s hair in a soothing gesture, her lips curving into a lazy, teasing smile.

“This is how couples are. If you can’t handle this, what will you do later?”

Tang Fuzhi didn’t understand what “later” meant, but right now, the most important thing was to keep Tao Ran calm.

“We need to take things slowly. You’re rushing things too much!” she protested. “Kissing so aggressively, and… and playing with me like that.”

Tang Fuzhi, a young woman with amnesia who knew nothing of such things, couldn’t possibly withstand Tao Ran’s teasing. Even if it was just her lips being played with, the mental stimulation far outweighed the physical.

Those movements, those positions, filled her with unbearable shame.

Tang Fuzhi wasn’t sure which word had pleased Tao Ran, but Tao Ran suddenly hugged her, resting her chin on Tang Fuzhi’s shoulder and chuckling softly.

Puzzled, Tang Fuzhi asked, “Did I say something wrong?”

Tao Ran lifted her off the sink, her hand caressing Tang Fuzhi’s flushed cheek as her eyes narrowed slightly. “No, but you said it yourself. Don’t regret it later.”

Instinct told Tang Fuzhi something was off.
But with her limited knowledge, she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

And Tao Ran clearly wasn’t going to tell her.
