[A quiet, devoted male lead who runs a bookshop × a sensitive, brave heroine who wears hearing aids]
[Mutual healing | A slow-burn romance | Warm urban vibes]
Chen Tingxing was used to speaking softly, sitting in a corner, and never being a bother to anyone.
She thought she would quietly live out her whole life that way.
Until she met Lu Huisheng.
He never asked why she wore hearing aids or deliberately slowed his speech and made her feel awkward.
When she panicked, he simply handed her a cup of warm water and said, “There’s no rush.”
Lu Huisheng: “I used to think spending my life in the bookshop was enough. Then you came along, and I learned what it means for something not to be enough.”
Chen Tingxing, sobbing her heart out: “You never even pursued me, so how dare you confess?”
Lu Huisheng thought for a moment, then smiled. “Because you were looking at me too. Your eyes can’t hide anything, Chen Tingxing.”
He said she was the one lively thing in his otherwise ordinary life that he wanted to hold on to.
She said he was the first person in her dark world who didn’t mind her making noise.
