Only by touching him could she hear the sounds of the world.
Only by bearing her pain could he retain her warmth.
Falling in love is torture, separation is an abyss.

Chi Yao was born with aphasia and damaged auditory nerves. Her world should have been completely silent.
Until she met Xie Yanci - as long as she touched him, she could share his hearing and hear the heartbeat, the sound of rain, and all the sounds in the world.
And he will bear all her emotional pain simultaneously. When she is sad, his ears ring like needles; when she is heartbroken, he becomes deaf instantly; when she is injured, his hearing world collapses.
They are symbionts forcibly bound by fate.
He imprisoned her by his side, using his voice as a chain and possession as an excuse: "Without me, you are a useless person."
She held back her deep love, thinking that getting close would melt his indifference.
Until he shattered her dreams with his own hands, humiliated her in public, and forced her to sign an agreement to sever ties.
Until his "fiancée" told her with a smile: "The Chi family's bankruptcy and your parents' car accident were all related to him."
Chi Yao finally understood - she couldn't wait for his love, and was left with only scars all over her body.
She turned around and left, living as her own light in a silent world.
He went crazy.
When the truth was revealed, when all the misunderstandings came to light, Xie Yanci knelt in front of her, as humble as dust: "Please, touch me again, let me hear your heartbeat."
Chi Yao looked at him and said every word in sign language:
"Thank you Yanci, from now on, I will be silent without you, and love and hate will be clear."
