What do you do when the person you like is mute?
A: No way, I’d never date one. If I get mad, no one can soothe me.
B: Mutes are great. No fuss, no noise, no worries.
As the only son of the richest man in S City, the greatest hardship Song Wanlin has ever faced is falling for a mute.
The mute is an upperclassman at the university next door, a national-level athlete. He’s tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His pale skin stretches over lean muscles, making him look slender yet powerful.
Pursue him?
You must be joking! “Chase someone” isn’t in Young Master Song’s life philosophy.

When xx College and xx University hold a social mixer, Young Master Song is invited and reluctantly attends. Staring at the mute’s icy, keep-your-distance face, Young Master Song accidentally spills his juice on him.

The Mid-Autumn Festival arrives, and the baking department at xx University makes a huge batch of mooncakes to hand out to students. The mute helps carry them. His dark sleeve slips back, revealing a section of firm, well-defined muscle. Annoyed by the mute’s stubborn attitude, Young Master Song claims he stepped on his foot and demands compensation.

At xx College’s sports meet, Young Master Song signs up for the fencing competition for the first time ever. His opponent is the mute, whose foil moves like autumn water, cold and swift. In a fit of pique, Young Master Song twists his ankle and falls onto the piste, forcing the mute to become his rehabilitation nurse.
After pestering him for a semester, Song Wanlin gets bored. A mute is a mute. What’s so interesting about someone who never talks?
So Young Master Song makes one of the biggest decisions of his life: give up on the mute and go study in Milan.
Before he can even submit his transfer application, someone corners him in a secluded alley. A shadow falls over him. The man grips his waist tightly and forces a kiss on him, urgent and savage, as if he means to devour him whole.
Song Wanlin struggles with all his might. That was his first kiss, his first kiss! How could someone just snatch it away like that?
He’s about to break free and slap that face as hard as he can when the man speaks.
His eyes dark, his voice hoarse: “Zhizhi, if you hit me, I’ll never let you go, not even in death.”
Smack. A handprint blooms on the mute’s face.
Oh no, oh no!!!
Wait, he’s just realized something:
The mute can talk?!
Damn!
