Since childhood, Shen Tinglan has been able to hear every intense thought others have about her.
Behind praise lies jealousy, behind concern lies scheming, and behind affection lies possessiveness.
She has heard too many ugly truths to ever believe in love.
There is only one exception: Zhou Jibai. She can hear nothing from him.
He is the only quiet presence in her noisy life.
She is used to being near him, relying on him, and falling asleep beside him. She is even certain that Zhou Jibai will never love anyone, least of all her.
Until the day he decides to leave, when she hears his thoughts for the first time:
“If I stay any longer, I won’t be able to stop myself from wanting her to love me.”
Only later does Shen Tinglan learn that Zhou Jibai isn’t without desire, nor was he born indifferent.
Ever since they were teenagers, he has simply poured all his strength into compressing his love for her into ten years of silence.
And at last, she is no longer satisfied with his quiet.
She wants to hear him miss her, love her, feel jealous, and lose control. She wants to hear every desire he no longer hides.
