Chi Yixi has face blindness, yet he's also a sucker for good looks. He can only remember the faces of attractive people. Everyone else looks faceless to him, like a blank mask. Terrifying.
That's why Chi Yixi loves getting close to good-looking people. There was this older boy who lived next door when he was a child, and Chi Yixi wanted to cling to him every single day.
Sadly, he couldn't see the boy again before his family moved away.
But it was all right. The world was huge, and there had to be more than one handsome person.
The moment he saw Fu Yunzhi, the big shot of the Fu family, Chi Yixi's eyes lit up and his heart began to pound.
Oh, he's so handsome!
He's not a playboy, and he's not a lovesick puppy. He just wants to gaze at every beauty with admiration and affection!
.
Fu Yunzhi, head of the Fu family, was cold, handsome, and distant. Chi Yixi couldn't help sneaking glances at him, but unfortunately, Fu Yunzhi didn't seem to like him and never gave him a kind look.
"I-I won't bother you. Could you just let me see you when you happen to have a little free time? Just so I can look at your face. Would that be okay?" Chi Yixi asked, hopeful but cautious.
Fu Yunzhi looked coldly at the young man who had once turned and walked away without a second thought right in front of him. Now the boy was back, pretending not to recognize him. He let out a low, derisive snort.
"Young Master Chi falls in and out of love in a flash. I doubt your affection is worth much. Come find me when it's worth something, and then you can see me."
What was that supposed to mean?
Chi Yixi was completely baffled, and a little dejected.
But it was all right. The world was huge, and there had to be more than one handsome person.
Fu Yunzhi watched the boy leave in sorrow. At first, he felt a little satisfied, but before long a friend told him that Chi Yixi had gone off to befriend a rising star of a painter.
At an art exhibition, Chi Yixi was grabbed by the imposing, sinister-looking man and shoved into a car. Before he could recover, the man gripped his chin. His lips hurt, and he cried out in shock, "What are you doing?"
Fu Yunzhi: "Didn't you want to see my face? Go ahead. You're only allowed to look at me."
Chi Yixi: "???"
.
Later, in the master bedroom of the mansion, Chi Yixi's eyes glistened with tears as he propped himself up, trying to escape.
Fu Yunzhi grabbed him with one hand and forced him to meet his gaze. "Is he handsome, or am I?"
Chi Yixi was on the verge of tears. "You are."
Fu Yunzhi: "If I were disfigured, would you still love me?"
Chi Yixi: "..."
Trembling, Chi Yixi nodded through his tears. "I love you."
