Hearing You Say Love

That cold beauty is mute, but very good at using sign language to curse.

Su Ming, an R18 comic artist suffering from a writer’s block, hadn’t produced a satisfying work in a long time.

One summer morning, a tall, handsome, dark-skinned punk moved in next door. While carrying boxes, the guy took off his shirt, revealing tanned muscles with a light sheen of sweat in the sunlight—tight, firm, and powerful.

At first glance, Su Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

Su Ming didn’t want to get involved with the straight nightclub bouncer named Zou Beiyuan, but he couldn’t stop himself from repeatedly drawing Zou Beiyuan in his comics.

By chance, Zou Beiyuan helped chase off a man harassing him.

Su Ming cooked soup and sent it to Zou Beiyuan, with a note attached to the container: “Thank you for helping me.”

Uncomfortable with his own h*mophobia, Zou Beiyuan awkwardly asked, “Was that your ex-boyfriend?”

Su Ming shook his head.

Zou Beiyuan visibly relaxed. “I thought you were gay, sorry for the misunderstanding.”

Su Ming’s beautiful eyes flashed behind his thin-framed glasses, and he carefully wrote on a piece of paper: “You didn’t misunderstand. I do like men.”

—At 21, Zou Beiyuan gave up his dreams and left the boxing arena.

At 22, Zou Beiyuan “bent” himself and learned sign language.

At 23, Zou Beiyuan returned to the ring, aiming to win a championship belt for Su Ming.

The “bottom” is mute due to hearing loss, but his vocal cords are fine, and the “top” teaches him to speak.

For fans of contrasts in skin tone and body types, this is a must-read.

High sweetness throughout, alluring beauty, younger love interest, sweet and doting relationship, happy ending.
