I Went Blind from Loving You

For Lin Leyi, seeing the next ten seconds of someone's future is no big deal.

A handshake, brushing past someone, handing them water: one touch is all it takes to know what they'll do next.

Except with Wen Guanzhi.

Her direct superior is cold and abstinent, a ruthless killer at work, and the only man she had a crush on in elementary school. After testing her ability, she discovered that her foresight didn't work on him.

Years later, they meet again. She refuses to admit she still likes him, even to her dying breath,

but every time they meet, she secretly has to touch him: his cup, his pen, his report...

Ah, if I can still see the future today, then I guess I don't like him that much?

Until the day she cries and throws her arms around him. From that moment on, she can't see anything.

Her power isn't broken. She's in love.

And she doesn't know that, from that day on, a bugged version of Lin Leyi has been living in his mind.

Lin Leyi starts to suspect that Wen Guanzhi can see the future too.

So she secretly arranges for another coworker in the office to walk up and pat him, then asks him,

"Hey, did you feel anything?"

Wen Guanzhi: "...I'm not particularly interested in other people."

She looks at him suspiciously. "So you're interested in me?"

He tilts his head and glances at her without answering, then lightly bites the rim of his cup.

It's exactly where she was planning to touch it later.

Later.

Lin Leyi: "Stop predicting my future. That's so creepy."

Wen Guanzhi: "I haven't touched you. Please get off my lap first."

She turns her head away. "This is work-related."

He says quietly, "What kind of work requires you to pin me down on a desk and kiss me?"

Lin Leyi: "!"

His voice drops lower. "Don't worry. I want it too."

A few notes:

1. This is purely a fantastical idea, with a unique worldbuilding setting.

2. The heroine's name means "helping others with pleasure," while the hero's name comes from a classical Chinese anthology.

3. I like using puns. If you don't, feel free to ignore them.
