Midsummer Heard Me Die for Love

Shen Zhi was born with severe hearing impairment. He was trapped in a completely silent world for the first 18 years. When he put on a hearing aid in his second year of high school, he could only hear sharp and noisy noises. He could not distinguish any words and could only rely on lip reading to barely communicate with others. He is taciturn but has a strong temper. He is the top academic leader on campus. He and Zhou Wan, who is equally outstanding, have worked side by side and accompanied each other since high school. They agreed to be admitted to Nanjing University, which is full of sycamores, and rush to their distant place. In the midsummer after the college entrance examination, Zhou Wanman solemnly confessed to Shen Zhi that he had long made up his mind that no matter how many obstacles there were in the road ahead, he would hold Shen Zhi's hand and protect him and accompany him for the rest of his life. The two were admitted to Nanjing University as they wished, and spent three years of secret and sweet time under the shadow of the plane trees all over the city in Jinling. They carefully hid their love and looked forward to the day when they could live together openly. In his junior year, this forbidden love was broken up by Shen Zhi's wealthy parents. The two elders were furious and forced him to immediately sever ties with Zhou Wan and ordered him to "return to normal." Shen Zhi refused and clung to this hard-won love. Seeing that their persuasion was fruitless, the Shen family's parents hid it from everyone and forcibly locked up Shen Zhi in a rehabilitation center, completely cutting off all contact with the outside world. At the same time, they took away his mobile phone, imitated his tone, and sent cold and decisive breakup messages to Zhou Wan one after another, without any flaws. From the beginning to the end, Zhou Wan had no idea that Shen Zhi was being detained in the same prison. He only received the sudden and heartless news from Shen Zhi. He was filled with confusion, pain and unwillingness. He tried his best to contact Shen Zhi and could not find any trace of him. He could only be enveloped in endless confusion and loss. It happened that the Zhou family was pressuring him to get married. The frustrated Zhou Wan had no choice but to reach a cooperation with Lin Zhixia, a lesbian whose lover died young. The two agreed to get married. This was just to fool both families and temporarily get rid of their control. There was still a vague desire in his heart to wait for Shen Zhi to turn around. He thought Shen Zhi had really changed his mind and given up, but he didn't know that his young man was being tortured in the rehabilitation center, looking forward to returning to him day and night. On the day of the wedding, Shen Zhi tried his best to escape from the detention center. He didn't care about anything. He just wanted to find Zhou Wan immediately, explain all the misunderstandings, and tell him that he had never thought about breaking up, and was full of obsession to go to his lover. But when he passed by the church, he saw Zhou Wan in a formal dress from a distance, holding a wedding ceremony with Lin Zhixia. The ritual music and blessings in the hearing aid in his ears instantly turned into a sharp knife piercing his heart. Shen Zhi escaped from hell and ran to his true love, but only saw the scene of his lover getting married. Shen Zhi fell into despair, jumped from a tall building, and died on the spot. The news that a young man from a wealthy family committed suicide by jumping off a building instantly swept across the Internet. The overwhelming reports allowed Zhou Wan to know all the hidden truths on the spot. Only then did he realize that the breakup was fake and that Shen Zhi had never changed his heart. Only then did he learn that the young man had suffered so much in the rehabilitation center, and only then did he realize that his marriage of convenience had become the last straw that drove him to death. Zhou Wan terminated the wedding on the spot, immediately terminated the agreement with Lin Zhixia and filed for divorce. The two people who also lost their loved ones, although they were no longer bound by marriage, became each other's only comfort. In the following years, Zhou Wan lived in endless regret and longing, holding Shen Zhi's ashes all day long, guarding the memories of the two withered day by day. In the end, he could not bear the pain in his heart and passed away with Shen Zhi. But Mi He stayed alone in the world. Every year thereafter, she would go to pay homage to her deceased lover on time. She would also pay homage to Shen Zhi together, sitting quietly for a long time with the tombstones of Zhou Wan and Shen Zhi. She guarded two lost loves and spent the rest of her life alone in endless loneliness and regret. Intention: This is a burial in the name of love, a farewell that two souls spend their entire lives in the shackles of fate. The story tells that in a silent world, love was once the only light, but it was eventually crushed into powder by reality. It explores love and regret, fate and choice, writes the ultimate affection and eternal farewell, and tells us: some love is destined to end in sacrifice from the moment we meet, and those unspoken words will eventually become an eternal echo in the midsummer wind.
