When the senses become a prison, silence is the only language.
Shen Yi, a girl accustomed to adapting to school transfers with a standard smile, was assigned to sit at the same table as Jiang Ze in her senior year of high school.
Jiang Ze is a legend in the school: he has top grades and a handsome appearance, but he always wears a pair of huge noise-canceling headphones, like a walking iceberg, isolating all human contact. Labels about him are "freak" and "lonely genius".
Shen Yi soon discovered that Jiang Ze's "monster" had a precise triggering mechanism. Her laughter, the tone of her reading, and even her unconscious movements may trigger physical discomfort and resistance in him. A cold warning of "Your light is too dazzling" pushed her away.
Purpose: The purpose of "Lemongrass and Old Velvet" is to explore the profound proposition of individual differences and emotional connections. It reveals the essence of understanding and acceptance through the silent resonance between Jiang Ze, who is overloaded with senses, and Shen Yi, who is accustomed to adapting. It is not about forcibly changing each other, but about finding the frequency of resonance on the premise of respecting each other's unique way of existence. The work explains that the most touching approach often requires no noise. True companionship is to become a quiet coordinate in the chaotic world of the other person, achieving mutual reflection at the soul level on seemingly parallel tracks.
