A Distant Boat Carries Zhiyi Across

[From Campus to the Wedding Altar + Healing, Sweet Romance]

[Hard-of-hearing heroine VS gentle top student]

Some people are destined to be heard

Shen Yiyao’s world is quiet.

A high fever when she was young took away some of her hearing, but gave her another way to sense the world: wherever her gaze fell, she found gentleness. Until one autumn day, a young man in a white shirt unexpectedly entered her life.

Yan Xingzhou never imagined that an ordinary morning and an ordinary welcome-week volunteer event would become the starting point where their fates crossed.

As her senior, he should have stayed calm and restrained. But her presence was like a piece of code he couldn’t debug, disrupting his usually steady thoughts and making him want to draw closer to her, again and again.

When graduation brought decisions about the future, he chose without hesitation to stay in the city where she was. It wasn’t a compromise, but a steadfast choice to go where she was, and the most heartfelt response he could give to their love.

From their youthful campus days to entering the marriage hall, from innocent teenagers to mature adults, their love is like the desserts Shen Yiyao makes with her own hands. The first taste brings a faint, sweet flutter, but savoring it reveals a warmth and peace that linger deep in the heart.

When Yan Xingzhou says to her, “Marry me,” Shen Yiyao blinks. “Speak louder. I can’t hear you.”

But he can clearly see that the smile in her eyes is brighter than any sound.

“Though the boat may sail far, it will reach the one who understands its heart.”

This is a story about treating one another with gentleness, staying by each other’s side, and having the courage to choose.

When everyone else is shouting, “Listen to me,” the person who slows down their speech for you is life’s most precious gift.
