I Got A Girlfriend After Losing My Memory (Transmigration) - Chapter 47

Tang Fuzhi turned her face away, clearly displeased with Tao Ran’s words.

Tao Ran felt utterly bewildered. Ever since they arrived at the hospital, Tang Fuzhi had been acting strangely.

She looked down at Tang Fuzhi. The girl’s skin was fair, and when she was upset, her cheeks puffed out slightly, making her look like an adorable pufferfish.

“If you don’t tell me, how am I supposed to know what to fix?”

Regardless of why the girl was angry, it was probably her fault.

But she needed to know what she’d done wrong to make amends.

Tang Fuzhi, soothed by her words, finally relented a little. She turned back to meet Tao Ran’s gaze. “You’re all talk and no action. Hmph!”

With that, she turned her face away again.

Did this mean Tao Ran had promised Tang Fuzhi something but failed to deliver?

Tao Ran carefully reviewed her words in her mind.

This shouldn’t be happening.

Tao Ran grew even more puzzled, her brow furrowing slightly as she gently turned Tang Fuzhi’s face back toward her.

“Tell me properly. How am I being glib?”

It was still a little embarrassing for her to say this, making it sound like she was begging Tao Ran to propose.

But Tao Ran’s gaze was so unwavering, as if she wouldn’t let go until Tang Fuzhi explained herself.

After a moment’s hesitation, Tang Fuzhi mumbled softly, “You keep saying you want to marry me…” yet you haven’t taken any action, making me foolishly imagine all sorts of things.

She trailed off, unwilling to say more.

But for such a shy girl, even half of that confession was quite impressive.
Tao Ran chuckled softly, but seeing Tang Fuzhi’s cheeks flush crimson from the half-spoken words, she couldn’t resist teasing her further. “What was that? I didn’t quite hear you.”

Tang Fuzhi looked up, a bit flustered and annoyed. “I said…”

But as soon as the words left her lips, she met Tao Ran’s smiling gaze and realized she’d been teased.

Even though she’d spoken softly, the car was so quiet, and they were the only two inside. How could Tao Ran not have heard?

Her face flushed crimson, as if she’d just had a drink, making her look endearingly cute. Her amber eyes glistened with tears, and her lips pouted in a look of utter grievance.

“You clearly heard me, yet you still teased me.”

You’re so mean.

Tao Ran immediately wrapped her arms around Tang Fuzhi, lowering her head to gently pat her back. Her voice, soft as a caress, seemed to send a shiver through Tang Fuzhi’s ear. “It was my fault.”

“I’ve already planned how I’ll propose, but I’m waiting for the right moment.” Tao Ran had been envisioning the proposal scene since the day she first mentioned marriage. She wanted to make it official sooner than anyone else, because she was more afraid than anyone else.

Being with Tang Fuzhi sooner, making her hers sooner, would soothe her anxieties.

“Though I want to make you mine as soon as possible, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. I don’t want to have any regrets.”

Her proposal couldn’t be rushed or carelessly planned just because she was anxious.

She didn’t want Tang Fuzhi to frown when she recalled the proposal.

The woman’s voice was gentle yet firm, and Tang Fuzhi could sense her sincerity.

This wasn’t just about the proposal itself; it was about how much she valued her.

Tang Fuzhi’s heart softened. Tao Ran’s words made sense.
Who wouldn’t want their proposal to be carefully planned by the other person?

Seeing that Tang Fuzhi was no longer upset, Tao Ran cautiously asked, “So, you’ve been thinking about this the whole time you were at the hospital?”

Perhaps influenced by Tao Ran’s unwavering tone, Tang Fuzhi instinctively answered, openly sharing her thoughts from the hospital.

As she spoke, she seemed to realize how childish her ideas sounded, and her voice grew softer. But in the quiet car, with them sitting so close, Tao Ran could still hear every word.

Tao Ran couldn’t help but laugh, though she was also a little exasperated. No wonder Tang Fuzhi had been so restless ever since they got out of the car and saw they were at a hospital.

A proposal in a hospital, and in front of so many people? No wonder she hadn’t guessed that one.

Tao Ran reached out and gently flicked Tang Fuzhi’s nose. “You silly thing…”

Now that Tang Fuzhi’s mind had cleared, she realized how absurd her assumption had been.

Still, she wanted to explain herself, to prove it wasn’t entirely her fault.

“I’ve seen in dramas that when the male lead proposes to the female lead, it’s always in a grand setting, with everyone watching, and then he pulls out the ring.”

She had always thought proposals were supposed to be like that.

Tao Ran patted Tang Fuzhi’s head. The younger woman’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, and even her pouty expression was endearing.

“A proposal is just between the two of us. As long as we both like it, that’s all that matters. So, do you want to be proposed to in front of everyone?”

Although Tao Ran’s original plan didn’t involve any outsiders, if Tang Fuzhi wanted it, she could hire some extras to create the right atmosphere.

Tang Fuzhi froze for a moment, then looked up at Tao Ran. Her eyes were dark and bright, like shattered starlight, her skin pale, and her features smooth yet sharp. When she wasn’t smiling, she could look quite intimidating, but Tao Ran always treated her with gentle tenderness.

“N-no, that’s not necessary,” Tang Fuzhi stammered.

Now that she thought about it, the grand, public proposals she’d seen on TV weren’t what she truly wanted.

As Tao Ran had said, a proposal should be just between the two of them. Having a crowd of onlookers wouldn’t make her happy; it would only force her to deal with their teasing and clamor.

She always felt a bit nervous around strangers.

If that was the case, why have so many people watching?

Once she realized this, Tang Fuzhi suddenly felt that it would be best if it were just the two of them.

She reached out and tugged on Tao Ran’s sleeve, whispering, “Then… when you propose, let’s find a quiet place, preferably just the two of us.”

Tang Fuzhi pressed her lips together. She’d lost her memories, and though she’d learned a lot online recently, there were still so many things she didn’t know.

In the dramas she’d watched, proposals were always grand surprises orchestrated by the male lead for the female lead.

Tao Ran’s smile deepened as she stroked the young woman’s soft, flowing hair. “Mm, I figured you wouldn’t like a big, flashy proposal.”

Tang Fuzhi breathed a sigh of relief at Tao Ran’s confirmation, though her anticipation for the proposal only grew stronger.

She glanced up at Tao Ran, then quickly averted her gaze, murmuring softly, “So… when are you planning to propose?”

Tao Ran chuckled softly, reaching out to cup the young woman’s cheek, her eyes sparkling with amusement. “That’s a secret.”

She pressed her index finger to Tang Fuzhi’s rosy lips. “If I told you beforehand, it wouldn’t be a surprise, would it?”

Tang Fuzhi lowered her head, avoiding Tao Ran’s gaze.

Tao Ran found the situation rather amusing. How could the amnesiac Tang Fuzhi be so utterly adorable?

She reached out to stroke the young woman’s hair. “So eager to marry me?”

Sometimes, Tao Ran wondered if amnesia could truly cause such a drastic change in someone’s personality.

Before losing her memories, Tang Fuzhi had tried to push her away. Now, she clung to Tao Ran, practically desperate to be with her.

Tao Ran couldn’t help but fall into deep thought, but when she looked at Tang Fuzhi before her, so vividly alive and with the same familiar personality, she quietly shook her head.

It didn’t matter anymore. What mattered was that Tang Fuzhi was right here beside her now.

Tang Fuzhi nestled against Tao Ran’s chest, muttering softly, “That’s not true at all.”

She wasn’t in any hurry.

Just then, they finally arrived home.

As Tang Fuzhi stepped into their familiar little house, a warm current surged through her heart.

Even though she had only been away for a few days, she truly missed this place, missed this home.

Recalling the Huo Family’s mansion, she realized that while it appeared luxurious, it lacked a certain human warmth.

She suddenly understood why Tao Ran, despite having money, still chose to live in this small house.

The feeling of home couldn’t be replaced by a big house.

[Chen Sisi (Painting, Class 18): Tang Tang, our class is having a reunion near school tomorrow. Are you coming?]

That day, Tang Fuzhi had just finished washing up when she received this strange message.

She didn’t recognize Chen Sisi, but the sender’s tone was so familiar, as if they were close friends.

After a moment’s hesitation, she excitedly grabbed her phone and rushed to the living room. As expected, Tao Ran was there. She immediately ran up to him.

Seeing Tang Fuzhi charging toward him, Tao Ran quickly stood up, opened his arms, and caught the girl in a hug.

Tang Fuzhi wrapped her legs around Tao Ran’s strong waist and snuggled against his chest, finding it soft and comforting.

“Do you know who she is?”

Tao Ran set the girl down in a chair, placed breakfast in front of her, and then glanced down at the message on her phone.

“Your freshman year roommate.”

“Roommate?” Tang Fuzhi looked puzzled. “But didn’t I live here with you the whole time I was in college?”

She had always had a good memory, and she remembered Tao Ran mentioning it once.

Tao Ran smiled gently and ruffled her messy hair, which was still uncombed after washing up.

“Impressive memory.”

Tang Fuzhi, basking in the praise, proudly tilted her head. “Of course.”

“We’d only just met when you were a freshman. We couldn’t have moved in together that quickly,” Tao Ran said, her fingers threading through Tang Fuzhi’s hair, smoothing it out. With practiced ease, she removed the hair tie from her wrist and used it to tie Tang Fuzhi’s hair up.

“So you lived in the dorms your freshman year, and then moved in here shortly after the start of your sophomore year. Even though you were only roommates for a year, you got along well.”

As Tang Fuzhi listened to Tao Ran’s repeated “when you were a freshman,” she couldn’t help but feel like they weren’t even in the same year.

She glanced up at Tao Ran, who was looking down with such focused intensity, one might have thought she was signing some crucial contract.

But in reality, she was just tying Tang Fuzhi’s hair up.

“Aren’t we in the same year?” Tang Fuzhi asked.

Tao Ran’s hands froze mid-motion, a flicker of awkwardness crossing her face.

Tang Fuzhi had never seen Tao Ran look so flustered. Usually, Tao Ran carried herself with effortless poise. Sensing something was off, Tang Fuzhi pressed,

“What’s wrong?”

It’s just an age. What’s there to hide?

Tang Fuzhi had always assumed she and Tao Ran were in the same grade. Even if Tao Ran were a few years older, it wouldn’t matter.
Or was Tao Ran actually much older than her?

Tang Fuzhi studied Tao Ran’s face closely. No fine lines at the corners of her eyes, skin fair and firm, she looked undeniably young.

Even if she were older, it couldn’t be by more than a few years, right?

Besides, even if Tao Ran were five or six years older, Tang Fuzhi wouldn’t mind.

Such things couldn’t stay hidden forever, and lies would be easily exposed.

Tao Ran finished tying her hair, her voice softening.

“I’m a year ahead of you.”

Tang Fuzhi instinctively replied with an “Oh.”

Then she realized something was off. She looked up at Tao Ran, surprised. “Are you sure you didn’t get that backwards?”

She was actually a year older than Tao Ran?

Tang Fuzhi hadn’t expected that.

Tao Ran seemed embarrassed, her gaze darting around as she mumbled, “I didn’t get it backwards.”

Tang Fuzhi’s mind was in a whirl.

Tao Ran always seemed so mature, handling her work with such effortless grace. She looked every bit the older sister type. Tang Fuzhi never imagined she was actually younger.

And here Tang Fuzhi was, the older one, acting like a spoiled child all day.

Tang Fuzhi felt her authority as the “older sister” crumble the moment she learned the truth.

She glanced up at Tao Ran, who was quietly munching on a steamed bun, and a mischievous thought popped into her head.

While she was surprised to discover she was a year older than Tao Ran, it was also kind of amusing.

A smirk tugged at Tang Fuzhi’s lips as she turned to Tao Ran. “So, does that mean you have to call me ‘Jiejie’ now?”
