[Jiang Ting Yue Ji Yu Zhou x] [Tough and kind-hearted warm girl vs. Hearing-impaired boy who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside]
The school's morning reading bell is the sharp sound of an old-fashioned electric bell, like wire drilling into the eardrums.
For Ji Yuzhou, most of the sounds in the world are separated by a layer of frosted glass.
He always sits in the last row by the window. Under his school uniform, there is an inaudible silence and a broken hearing aid. Everyone said that he was cold, withdrawn and not easy to mess with.
Only Jiang Tingyue knew that he only had 30% hearing left in his right ear, so he used the sound of throwing things to fill the void in his world.
So she started stuffing English notes into his drawer every day, neatly arranged, without signature, and only drew a small lemon in the corner.
He gave her a lemon candy with a green wrapper, which was so sour that it would knock her teeth out. There was a crescent moon printed on the wrapper.
Their story begins with an unclaimed post-it note and a sour candy.
In the dark classroom with a power outage, he held her hand, and the candlelight nailed their shadows to the wall.
During the rehearsal of the English play, he touched her throat lightly with his fingertips and said, "I lean here to 'listen'."
On a snowy night, he gave her a hearing aid battery and whispered: "Tonight, I want to hear you say something. The kind that can be heard."
She thought that the sour lemon candy would eventually turn sweet, and the silent world would eventually be filled with warmth.
Until that performance that illuminated the entire youth, at the moment of the curtain call with the loudest applause, an accident suddenly happened.
The loud sound of the chandelier crashing down drowned out her unspoken confession.
Blood flooded the stage and everything they had just started.
"Ji Yuzhou, I——"
The second half of that sentence will remain in that snowy night forever.
Later, he disappeared cleaner than winter.
Her diary is filled with unsendable letters and a moon necklace made from chandelier fragments.
It turns out that the farthest distance in the world is not that I love you but you don't know it.
But when I mustered up the courage to tell you that I love you, you... Really couldn't hear me.
