Carefree little sun x aloof, sensitive mute
Xu Yaoyao's dad struck it rich and moved the whole family to the city. She transferred from the high school in her town to the city's Experimental High School.
The day before school started, Xu Yaoyao's dad took her aside and gave her some advice: "Sweetie! Make sure you get along with your classmates! If you can't focus on studying, just eat more! Dad paid the tuition!"
Xu Yaoyao took his words to heart. So, when the teacher assigned their seats, she did her best to chat with her deskmate and open up to him.
But her deskmate was so cold that he didn't respond to anything she said.
Xu Yaoyao was a little annoyed. "What, are you mute or something?"
But when the teacher called on him to answer a question, he really did reply in sign language.
Xu Yaoyao immediately felt guilty: I really deserve to die...
Feeling bad, Xu Yaoyao started looking after him all the time. She'd always heard people say "deaf-mute," so she naturally assumed he couldn't hear either. She shared all the little secrets she found too embarrassing to tell anyone else.
As time passed, their friendship changed into something more. On the day they finished the college entrance exams, the eighteen-year-old girl leaned close to the boy's ear and softly confessed her love.
Xu Yaoyao thought her secret crush would probably come to nothing because she was too timid...
Qi Yun: ...
He took out his phone and silently typed: Not all mutes are deaf.
But later, amid life's ups and downs, Xu Yaoyao learned that sometimes he really was deaf, such as when she told him to stop.
