Eighteen is the age when romantics put their ideals into practice.
Chi Cheng packed her bags and set off to visit her cousin in Zun'an, becoming the only person supporting her cousin's escape from an arranged marriage.
The weather was hot, the cicadas loud, and the sun blazing overhead. Outside the resort hotel, a staff member handed her the wrong item that had been left there for her cousin.
She opened it to find a box of expensive swimming goggles. A receipt was tucked inside, bearing the name Chen Shuhua.
A voice sounded behind her. Chi Cheng turned around.
Chen Shuhua looked at her face. She was just as he remembered.
On the first day of their seven-day tour, a cat and a person stood beneath a streetlamp.
The cat was busy wolfing down food. The person seemed to be doing something incomprehensible.
Chen Shuhua stood still, phone in hand, and didn't continue walking.
He watched the other person making some strange gestures. In the middle of the night, it looked downright bizarre, like a shaman performing a ritual.
He watched for a while and finally figured it out: she was mute.
Warm light enveloped her completely. She and the cat, which had stopped eating, both looked at him.
A misunderstanding in which each thought the other was hearing-impaired made their souls begin to size each other up.
He wrote diary entries that only he could see, carving mark after mark into a birch tree. Then, one day, Chi Cheng opened Chen Shuhua's phone and discovered that those marks joined together to spell her name.
Those were the secret thoughts of a boy named Chen Shuhua.
“Hey, why isn't the puppy wagging its tail and begging?”
“Dummy, it's trying to seduce you.”
In the suggestive glow, Chen Shuhua kissed her gently.
“Break up with him. I'm cleaner than he is.”
He rubbed the tip of his nose against hers. “I'm a virgin. Want to try?”
