★ Rekindled love | Wolf-and-rabbit romance | A secret crush comes true | Healing and salvation
Gentle, sweet, shy deaf girl x laid-back, cocky, bad-boy rich kid
Ke Chuyang was a flashy, flirtatious playboy, bold and unrestrained. Because of her hearing impairment, You Zhi was quiet and reserved, barely noticed by anyone.
At university, they were worlds apart. To anyone looking at them, they were parallel lines that would never cross.
But no one knew that You Zhi, an outstanding student sponsored by the Ke family for years, lived under the same roof as Ke Chuyang.
On the afternoon she first arrived at the Ke home, rain fell beneath a clear sky.
You Zhi stood alone in front of the Ke residence, suitcase in hand and umbrella held overhead.
A Maybach slowly drove out. Through the half-lowered window, she saw the Ke family's young master lounging in the back seat, his sharp brow and striking pale profile exuding an arrogant, untamed air.
As if sensing her gaze, Ke Chuyang lazily lowered his eyes.
Through the curtain of rain, he glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
1.
A top trending topic on the university forum, Ke Chuyang had an intimidating family background, excelled in his major, and had a handsome, rakish face, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist. He naturally drew attention.
Girls threw themselves at him one after another. Every party and basketball game he attended was packed, and the love letters and gifts never stopped.
Despite having countless admirers, no one ever caught the eye of his cold-hearted gaze.
You Zhi was one of the latest to love him from afar, without hope of being loved in return.
She knew their social standing was worlds apart, so she could only hide her secret crush where no one would find it.
Until the night of his birthday party. Taking advantage of the crowd's wild celebrations, You Zhi worked up the courage for the first time and smeared cream on his collarbone with her fingertip.
Then she panicked and fled in the commotion.
She hid in the restroom, but when she pushed open the door, she ran into Ke Chuyang, who had just washed his face. His bangs were damp, and droplets clung to his dark eyelashes.
A smear of cream remained on his defined, beautiful collarbone.
He leaned casually against the sink and complained lazily, "Tsk, this is hard to wash off."
The air instantly thinned. Ke Chuyang's tall figure cast its shadow over You Zhi, whose panicked, helpless eyes made her look like a pitiful young deer.
Ke Chuyang stared at the girl's bright red ears, tilted his head carelessly, revealing his sharp collarbone, and teased her.
"You put it there yourself. Want to taste it?"
2.
After years apart, You Zhi never expected to meet Ke Chuyang again.
At a business meeting, she heard that Ke Chuyang had come to accompany one of his boss's daughters.
The man was still dazzling and immaculate, surrounded by people as if he were the center of the universe, chatting and laughing as though nothing had ever happened.
After the meeting, You Zhi quietly left, but in a dim stairwell she saw the red glow of a cigarette flickering.
Like a startled rabbit, she shrank back, wanting to turn and flee.
Ke Chuyang casually snuffed out his cigarette and trapped her in the cramped corner.
He looked down at her, eyes bloodshot, his stance so forceful she couldn't retreat. "Who are you hiding from?"
"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the one who got dumped back then."

A little asteroid crashed out of the sun's gravity well
A butterfly's wings stirred up a storm
You kissed the tip of a strawberry
Lightning illuminated these damp clouds
