Li Zhi had a secret.
A tiny, flesh-colored device was hidden in her ear. When people noticed it, they looked at her with pity. When they didn't, she could briefly pretend to be “normal.” She hated the former and feared the latter.
Gu Mu had a habit.
He never cared what anyone thought of him. Silver-white hair, a customized motorcycle, and an ever-carefree gaze made him seem as if none of the world's rules applied to him.
Then, on a rainy day, he met her outside a bookstore.
Afterward, he became the only person who knew her secret and neither pitied her nor shied away from her.
“What's wrong with wearing a hearing aid? When you can't hear, I'll speak for you.”
She used to think she was a lonely star, until she met him, the sudden summer rain.
