I Know You Like Me Too

#My boyfriend became super clingy after a car accident left him with amnesia. Did the crash damage his brain? #

Shi Xi has been in a bit of a bind lately. She's famous for being obsessed with good looks, and all her boyfriends have been handsome.

Including Qiu Yan.

Before losing his memory, Qiu Yan was the classic aloof, chaste heartthrob. He was also a rich second-generation heir, with a crowd of admirers. But that was no problem for Shi Xi, who had spent years navigating the dating scene.

It took her less than a month to win Qiu Yan over.

At the start of their relationship, Qiu Yan's cool demeanor really got to her. She loved his pale skin flushed red when they kissed, the faint blue veins beneath it, and the tiny red mole at the corner of his eye, dampened by tears of physical pleasure.

But after a while, she got tired of it.

He was always quiet, distant, and lukewarm.

She chalked it up to a common problem among rich young men.

Just as she was getting ready to break up with him, her soon-to-be "ex-boyfriend" suddenly lost his memory in a car accident. When he woke up, he looked at her standing in the doorway, confusion spreading across his pale face. "The nurse said you're my girlfriend. Is that right?"

Shi Xi: ...

What should she do? She couldn't quite bring herself to do it.

Shi Xi had a moment of weakness and didn't manage to break up with him.

After losing his memory, he seemed like a completely different person.

Before, he was so sparing with words that she could count their chat messages on one hand.

Now he clung to her every minute of the day. If she didn't message him for two hours, he'd call to ask what she was doing and when she was coming home. He missed her so much.

One day, Shi Xi finally lost her temper. "Don't you think you're too clingy?"

She expected a huge argument.

But when she looked up, she saw him with his head lowered, his black hair tousled across his forehead. He pressed his lips together in disappointment, his neck bent in a vulnerable curve, like a puppy caught in the rain.

"Have I not been good enough? Are you starting to hate me?"

What should she do? He seemed kind of adorable.

Unable to resist his good looks, Shi Xi wondered if she was being too unreasonable. Before she could figure it out, her boyfriend pulled her into his arms and kissed her senseless.

In a corner where no one could see, the man cupped the back of the girl's head and silently curved his lips into a smile.
