Like an Ice Cream Cone

Tang Wan has been face-blind since childhood. She always forgets people soon after meeting them, but she remembers Shen Zui because of the large scar on his arm.

He got it rescuing her from a fire.

They met for the second time at a Hong Kong-style cafe. Shen Zui was on a blind date with someone else, but he didn't say a word the whole time. Tang Wan was sitting at the next table and overheard them mention that he was mute.

So... Shen Zui couldn't speak.

Curious about him, she began finding excuses to get close to the firefighter who had saved her life. Shen Zui had a great body, and one time Tang Wan just couldn't resist giving him a smack on the butt.

Shen Zui stared at her wide-eyed, then ground out, "Tang Wan!"

Now it was Tang Wan's turn to stare.

She said, "That's amazing! I think I just heard you talk!"

Tang Wan didn't know it yet, but after they got together, the man of few words would often hold her close and chatter endlessly, then pout and beg her for a kiss.

She couldn't understand it. She was utterly astonished.

"Mr. Shen, do your teammates know you're like this in private?"

She tried to threaten him, but he wasn't swayed and kissed her even more passionately.

Lately, Shen Zui always had a little shadow following him around: the girl he'd rescued from a fire. He assumed she was after him for his face.

He was handsome, and everyone knew it. His looks had even caused all sorts of trouble, so he hated his face and the people who liked it.

But gradually, he noticed that Tang Wan always looked at the scar on his arm. One time, he wore long sleeves, and she walked straight past him without even looking...

It was only later that he found out Tang Wan was face-blind.

He started paying attention to Tang Wan and fell for her before he realized it. But she seemed to think he was mute and would often look at him with pity.

Until the day she groped him. That opened up a whole new side of him...

After they got together, his favorite thing was acting cute, and the phrase he said most often was, "Wifey, give me a head pat."

Tang Wan often called him a "whiny baby."

He didn't believe her, but he really did seem to be pretty good at going "whine, whine, whine" QAQ

His name was Shen Zui because his mother had told him, "You are the stain and proof of my sins!"

So he didn't like to talk, because he thought he'd ruined his mother's life and needed to atone.

But later, Tang Wan told him, "It's not your fault."

She liked calling him Shen Zui, with the character for "best." She said he was the best!
