Everyone knows that Qiuqiu, the top gaming streamer on Tiger Cat Live, is a handsome, icy-faced man with incredible gaming skills, a maxed-out taunt stat, no love for smiling, and showboating coded into his DNA.
Streaming? Depends on his mood.
Viewer matches? Depends on fate.
A top donor asking for his contact info? No way.
One ordinary late night, after Qiuqiu ended his stream right on time, bored viewers were hanging around on Weibo when they casually refreshed the page and their eyes immediately widened.
Qiuqiu posted on Weibo!
The problem was that after never posting for ages, he finally showed up to clear the weeds, only to repost a selfie from some obscure actor whose fame was buried underground!
[Qiuqiu Won't Q: My mute husband, sob! You're so handsome you got me. I order you to apologize to me! QUQ // Actor Zhou Yingnan: Has everyone watched my new drama? [Cute] This week's little Plog, here's a selfie [Image] [Image]]
Viewers: ?????
Xia Zeqiu casually reposted the Weibo post, then went to wash up. Ten minutes later, when he opened Weibo to save the pictures, he suddenly noticed the account with a yellow V badge on his profile page and froze.
Xia Zeqiu laughed awkwardly. "Haha, no way."
Wrong account??!

When Zhou Yingnan first entered the entertainment industry, his handsome profile, full of college-boy charm, made him a minor sensation. He went on to play a mute senior in a campus drama, a mute doctor in a wealthy-family drama, and a mute System in a transmigration drama, among other roles.
Fans: ?????
It wasn't until a special interview, when Zhou Yingnan put on his hearing aids and smiled at the camera while greeting the audience in sign language, that his fans couldn't sit still.
Could he really be a mute husband??!

Xia Zeqiu always remembered that summer in his sophomore year of high school. It was scorching hot, and after evening study hall, a few classmates cornered him in a corner of the old school building.
He was good at fighting. They'd picked the wrong guy to mess with, and these losers were nothing to him.
But... a boy in a school uniform happened to pass by. He set his schoolbag aside, casually put something in Xia Zeqiu's hand, and then...
called campus security.
And without saying a word, he handed Xia Zeqiu the phone.
Xia Zeqiu, who'd thought the boy was going to take on all five of them by himself: "..."
The thing clenched in his palm felt a little hard. Xia Zeqiu opened his hand and, by the flickering light of the old, broken lamp overhead, made out what he was holding.
It was a hearing aid.

A sunny, genuinely hard-of-hearing actor who bravely ventures into show business as the pursuer VS a game streamer who's an ice prince in public but a jealous, clingy sweetheart in private
No competitions. A sweet story of mutual secret crushes.
The pursuer became hard of hearing later in life. He can speak, but doesn't like to.
The school-days portion isn't very long.
Theme: You shouldn't meet someone so dazzling when you're young.
