As If Soundless, Yet Resounding

Meeting an Online Love in Person

"Strawberry Mochi" Guan Yueshu met her online husband, "Pizza with a Heart of Gold," while gaming. She can hardly bear to be apart from him for even a moment. She replies to messages instantly, has tons of adorable stickers, and can send more than a dozen rapid-fire messages in response to a single sentence. But she doesn't like using voice chat, and when she does, she uses an AI-generated voice. She says it's because sharing a dorm makes it inconvenient.

In reality, she has psychogenic speech impairment and is a little mute. She usually makes a living by taking illustration commissions.

"Pizza with a Heart of Gold," Pei Du, is a cool, aloof guy. He loves his wife to bits, but puts on a cold and indifferent front.

They arrange to meet in person. Hoping to be closer to her online husband, Guan Yueshu leaves home for the first time in years and moves to a neighboring city, where she finds a job as a concept artist at a game company.

They come face-to-face without recognizing each other. Pei Du works at the same company as a planner.

On her first day, the person at the workstation across from hers says, "Add me. I'm 'Pizza with a Heart of Gold.'"

Guan Yueshu: !

Luckily, his company nickname is "Murderous Mochi"!

The night before they are supposed to meet, Guan Yueshu overhears him chatting with a colleague: "I like lively people, the kind who chatter away nonstop. It makes home feel lively."

But Guan Yueshu is mute.

Guan Yueshu: Could we put off meeting for now? I'm not ready yet (chi v chi)

*In short, it's a sweet little romance!

*Little Mochi's cat form is a blue-gold shaded longhair!

*Everyone loves adorable little Mochi (
