After My Aloof Wife Lost Her Memory

Commercial airline captain × musician

Singer-songwriter Ning Zhihai is as cool and distant as his voice, and is known throughout the industry as an untouchable beauty.

Three years ago, he announced his marriage to a handsome civilian. Their sweet love story took the internet by storm, but they gradually went quiet after getting married.

At first, everyone thought they were simply returning to their private lives.

Then came the news that the two would appear on a divorce reality show.

In the pre-show interview, when asked why they got married, Ning Zhihai doesn’t hold back. He answers coolly:

“A youthful impulse.”

“And the reason for the divorce?”

Ji An turns his head and scoffs. “We hardly ever see each other.”

Just a few days after the interview, Ning Zhihai is in a car accident on his way to the civil affairs office.

He loses his memory.

When Ji An rushes into the hospital room, Ning Zhihai is sitting on the edge of the bed, his handsome brows faintly furrowed as he turns to look at him. His voice is soft.

“Are we… getting divorced?”

Ji An shakes his head without thinking.

“Then let’s go home.”

Ning Zhihai’s bare toes touch the floor. He tilts his head slightly toward Ji An, who is standing there stunned, his cool voice suddenly sounding soft and vulnerable.

“It’s cold. Aren’t you going to carry me?”

I’m taking advantage of him, Ji An thinks.

But he can’t bring himself to refuse this stolen time together.

-

The contract is signed, so they still have to film the show.

While all the other couples arrive separately, two people step out of one van. Ji An turns back every other step, fixing Ning Zhihai’s coat collar every five seconds.

While the other couples compete fiercely in the games, Ning Zhihai coughs twice and simply calls, “Ji An.” Someone immediately does his task for him, too.

While the other couples accuse each other from opposite sides of a gauze curtain, Ji An rests his palm against it and says,

“Liaoliao, put your head closer. Let me see if you still have a fever.”

So Ning Zhihai playfully gives him a warm kiss through the curtain.

While the other couples cry to the sea, Ji An lets Ning Zhihai sit on his shoulders and reach for the moon, then recites a love letter to him.

“There’s not much to see in the cockpit. You can see countless stars above the clouds over the plateau, but the more I look at them, the more I feel that none of them compares to you.”

[You call this a divorce show?]

[Aaaah, you jerk Ji An! Give me back my sweet wife!]

[Did you two come up with this because you weren’t working together and couldn’t get onto a romance show?]

[Tragic romance aesthetics? This is BL romance aesthetics!]

-

Ning Zhihai had never been in a relationship. At twenty-five, when Ji An, whom he’d worked with before, proposed to him, he inexplicably said yes.

I like him, Ning Zhihai thinks.

But I’m three years older.

So when Ji An changes his schedule for Ning Zhihai’s concert, he has to turn him down coldly.

So when he falls off a wire, he has to deal with it alone.

So when Ji An’s name slips into a new song, he has to secretly cross it out.

Until, through the haze of love, he hears Ji An’s hoarse voice.

“Liaoliao-ge, you’re so cute.”

“Halocline [Cave Diving | Second Chance Romance]”

Cave-diving expert × geology researcher

When fresh water and seawater of different densities meet, the boundary between them is called

a halocline.

-

Lin Qianhe has thanked the mother he’s never met countless times for giving him the face of an untouchable beauty, one who seems indifferent to fame and fortune.

It lets him easily land a generous boyfriend at university, who teaches him how to dive.

Then, four years after they break up, he gets into graduate school for geology, lucky enough to have his former boyfriend’s signature on his Open Water certification.

Before an outdoor survey, his advisor calls in a favor and invites the cave-diving expert known as “Cave Master” to conduct the training. They say he’s taken part in countless rescue operations, is a man of great virtue, and cares deeply for others.

Lin Qianhe is a self-interested person. The more he strives for personal gain, the more he admires people like that.

He is changing into his wetsuit in a cubicle and has just taken off his shirt when he faintly hears the expert’s voice.

“Lin’s skills aren’t good enough. Send someone else.”

Lin Qianhe: ?

His temper flares. He clicks his tongue, throws on a jacket over his bare chest, and opens the door with a bright smile.

“Teacher Cave Master, you’ll have to give me a reason.”

The man turns around, and Lin Qianhe’s mind goes blank.

“Because I’m the instructor who issued your diving certificate, Lin. Qian. He.”

Shen Duchuan raises an eyebrow, his eyes as arrogant as ever. Then he glances at the wetsuit hanging around Lin Qianhe’s hips.

“Take it off and get out.”

That only makes things worse.

…This can’t be real. His scumbag ex-boyfriend has turned into a cave-diving expert.

A man who cares deeply for others?

More like petty, and deeply in love.

-

On their last dive before breaking up, Shen Duchuan floats in the sea, one hand braced against the boat, and pulls Lin Qianhe close by the neck to kiss him.

“Be good. Come with me one more time.”

“How much are you paying, Young Master Shen?”

“No money.” Shen Duchuan’s wet bangs brush over his sharp brows. He suddenly smiles and yanks Lin Qianhe into the sea.

“I’ll keep you alive in the water, anytime, anywhere. How does that sound?”

-

Cave diving is different from recreational diving.

Underwater, you have to stay within my sight at all times. If I can’t reach you, you’re too far away.

You must give me your complete attention, trust me absolutely, and obey me without question.

In a lightless cave with a visibility of only fifty centimeters, I am the only one like you.

-

Little scene

Shen Duchuan’s fate lacks water, yet he falls in love with someone as stubborn as a rock. During the years they’re apart, he keeps thinking that fortune-telling must be right: they aren’t suited to each other.

Until he sees Lin Qianhe again, and only one thought remains in his mind.

There’s an old saying: “Feel your way across the river by touching the stones…”

Let me feel you.

Theme: Be brave and say “I love you”!
