A gentle, gloomy male lead with a speech disorder x a sunny, tsundere chatterbox male lead
When Jiang Jibai was six, he got an older brother. His mother brought the boy back from the countryside: a gentle, very handsome boy who captured his heart at first sight.
In Jiang Jibai's memories, his brother had a speech disorder and always communicated with him through sign language. He didn't like interacting with people and was always quiet and reserved when alone.
Jiang Jibai was six and his brother was eight when they first met. He was stunned, but still ran up to him excitedly, eager to introduce himself.
"Big brother, you're so handsome! What's your name? I'm Jiang Jibai."
The six-year-old looked up at the handsome boy with his soft little face and voice. But the boy kept his head lowered, his eyes full of sadness Jiang Jibai couldn't understand.
His brother didn't answer, but Jiang Jibai didn't mind. He turned and called loudly up the stairs, "Mom, where did this big brother come from?"
His mother called back from upstairs, "He's one of my students from the countryside. He has a speech disorder and can't speak. Bai Bai, remember your manners and don't scare him."
Jiang Jibai nodded as if he understood and answered, "Okay!"
Mom said his brother couldn't speak. Did that mean he couldn't hear, either?
The little boy turned the idea over in his head, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He cupped his brother's lowered face in his small hands and made him look at him.
His brother was clearly startled, but Jiang Jibai smiled brightly and introduced himself again, solemnly signing: My name is Jiang Jibai. Big brother, what's your name?
His mother was a sign language teacher, so he had known sign language since he was little.
When the handsome boy saw his signs, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, then quickly faded. He still didn't respond.
Eventually, Jiang Jibai got tired and gave up.
Then one day, he helped his brother chase away the brats who were bullying him.
"My brother isn't mute! Say another word about him and see what happens!"
He stood in front of his brother, shielding him. It wasn't until after that moment that he finally learned his brother's name.
Li Yanzhou. It was a lovely name. Jiang Jibai didn't know what it meant, but he thought it sounded nice, just like his brother himself.
From then on, the two of them were like a real family, inseparable wherever they went.
Many years later, when they recalled their childhood, they couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Jibai said, "When I was six, I got a big brother. It made me so happy."
Li Yanzhou said, "When I was eight, I met the light that belonged to me. I held on tight and couldn't bear to let go."
