A gentle, mature husband-type man x a slow-to-warm young woman with amnesia
Wen Yin was a keepsake left behind by an old friend, and Shi Xuantan had raised her for twenty years.
He took on the responsibility of looking after her when he was still a frail young boy. He went from mixing formula and changing diapers to helping her babble her first words and take her first wobbly steps.
She depended on him completely. When she was teething, she would bite the tip of his finger, and even when she slept, she needed to hold his arm to feel safe.
As Wen Yin grew older, the difference between men and women became more apparent, and Shi Xuantan kept his distance.
When she turned eighteen, she entered her rebellious phase, and their relationship deteriorated. Every time they met, it ended with her breaking something at home and saying, "Stay out of my business."
They were at each other's throats, like sworn enemies.
When Wen Yin was twenty, she went abroad without permission and got into a car accident.
Shi Xuantan rushed to her hospital room. She looked at him timidly and asked in a small voice, "They said they contacted my loved one through my contacts. Was that you?"
The accident had erased all her memories.
Shi Xuantan's fingertips curled slightly at his side. Then he smiled. "Yinyin, don't you remember? I'm your husband."
