My Wife Doesn't Recognize Me

Wei Qing has severe face blindness. He can't identify people by their appearance, and for someone like him, who earned his place at this private high school through academic performance, this is a secret he must protect.

Luckily, he's careful enough to recognize his teachers and classmates by their voices and other distinguishing traits. No one has ever suspected a thing.

He Rao is a notorious rich kid at S High, unruly and willful. What he can't stand is Wei Qing, the teacher's favorite good student. Wei Qing has no influential family backing him, yet treats everyone as if they don't matter, always wearing that cool, indifferent expression.

One day, He Rao is going to tear off Wei Qing's mask and see what kind of face lies beneath that pretty exterior, he thinks maliciously.

At the bar, He Rao sits in a booth, drinking idly. A friend waves over a bartender. Dressed in a vest uniform, the bartender carries a tray with steady hands, standing out under the dim lights and drawing occasional glances from those nearby.

Compared with the student in uniform and a red armband, the school discipline committee member he is by day, he seems like a completely different person.

But to He Rao's surprise, Wei Qing doesn't seem to recognize him at all.

"Sir, we're out of dry martinis. Could I get you a whiskey instead?"

The place is noisy, so Wei Qing has to lean closer and raise his voice to be heard.

His warm breath brushes He Rao's face. Looking down at him, He Rao sees clear, calm eyes, as if Wei Qing really does take him for just another customer.

Thoughtful, He Rao suddenly reaches out, grips Wei Qing's chin, and gently lifts his face.

Wei Qing stiffens slightly and tightens his grip on the tray, forcing himself not to struggle.

A smile slowly appears in He Rao's eyes.

Look at that. It seems he's stumbled upon a rather remarkable little secret.
