In this world, some people are born with different senses.
Seventeen-year-old Xu Zhou can taste the taste of rain—dark clouds that taste like rust, water that tastes like mint, and thunder that tastes like bitter orange. Whenever the rainy season comes, the tip of her tongue becomes a weird taste palette. Until the transfer student showed up with her mysterious glass artifact.
Xu Ye is a girl who always wears black wristbands. There are small spray guns and colored glass pieces hidden in her desk. It is said that she "killed" her adoptive father, but no one knew that she was actually making a special glass sugar cube - sealing the sound in a crystal cube.
"Want to listen to it?" Xu Ye put a glass sugar cube against Xu Zhou's ear. When Xu Zhou subconsciously took it in her mouth, a miracle happened: she tasted strawberry-flavored sunshine.
It turns out that Xu Ye suffers from hyperacusis and the world is too noisy and harsh for her. Xu Zhou's synesthesia can just "translate" these sealed sounds. One of them turns noise into glass art, and the other turns sound into a taste experience.
In this humid and rainy southern town, two girls who were regarded as "freaks" began a secret sensory exchange: Xu Ye made sugar cubes with a specific flavor for Xu Zhou, and Xu Zhou used colored chalk to describe the color of sounds for Xu Ye. Until one day, the burn scar under Xu Ye's wrist guard was discovered, and the heartless letter sent by Xu Zhou's mother was soaked by the rain...
When the dean smashed all the glass sugar cubes, Xu Zhou picked up a piece from the glittering fragments on the floor and stuffed it into his mouth: "It tastes like sea salt caramel... You are crying."
It's a story about how two special senses find each other, like two pieces of glass with different textures that end up fused into a completely new shape under intense heat. Here, those qualities that ordinary people regard as flaws become the bridge connecting two lonely souls.
