Chapter 1.

Su Tang patted the back of the driver's seat and said, "Master Chen, is there water in the car?"

Are you Snow White?

Su Tang raised an eyebrow.

I have seen you.

At the airport lobby, Su Tang was met by the driver, Lao Chen. Together, they walked up to Shen Yi. "Su Tang, this is Mr. Shen Yi," Lao Chen introduced.

Su Tang thought that Lao Chen had given him something that he couldn't drink, and was so scared that he snatched the bottle and smelled it at the mouth of the bottle. After taking a sip, he confirmed that it was just ordinary mineral water, and then looked at Shen Yi with confusion.

Su Tang's usually low sense of humor was poked by Shen Yi and she burst out laughing with a "puh", causing Old Chen to glance back in the rearview mirror and say, "Su Sheji, you really know him?"

Shen Yi's serious expression made Su Tang burst into laughter, and only after laughing enough did he pick up his phone.

Su Tang suddenly remembered a slogan she saw at the entrance of a cram school during her language training before going abroad: "A wonderful life starts with learning a minority language."

Su Tang suspected that her Chinese proficiency had seriously deteriorated during her three years in France. She couldn't tell whether Lao Chen was complimenting or insulting her for a moment, so she didn't answer. After thinking for a while, she took out her phone from her bag, opened a new memo, typed a line of words, and handed it to Shen Yi.

Sorry, just kidding.

Do you know my grandmother?

With a trembling hand, Shen Yi almost threw his phone away. His cheeks turned red as he reluctantly typed out a line of text.

What to do if the bed is squeaking?

Dr. Zhou is Su Tang's grandmother. When she was young, she worked as a senior nurse in a private sanatorium. She has written several books on special nursing and gained some reputation in this field. After retiring, she was rehired as a consultant for the sanatorium and now lives in the sanatorium's apartment, where everyone in a white coat is referred to as a doctor.

Oh, oh...

The last two years of coursework at the French engineering school are intense, and the internships are even more demanding. It has been two years since Su Tang last returned to China. This year, her grandmother turned seventy. Without hesitation, Su Tang decided to come back and stay by her only relative's side as soon as she graduated.

Then return the phone to Su Tang.

Old Chen's remaining words were all choked back into his stomach.

Shen Yixiao added a sentence with a full smile.

Do you remember?

The movie "Pulp Fiction".

Su Tang carefully thought about it. Twenty years ago, when she was four years old, she only remembered sticking to her grandmother every day, following her grandmother around in the sanatorium where she worked.

My driver is on vacation, he is my stepmother's driver.

Old Chen was taken aback, and remembered that before thanking Shen Yi, Su Tang also said something in a foreign language like "sell". He was afraid that Su Tang would laugh at him for not understanding, so he generously replied, "You're welcome."

Shen Yi forced a smile, shook his head, and closed his eyes again.

Su Tang lightly pushed it away, "What drink works?"

Su Tang is a student of civil engineering. She just graduated from a public engineering school in France, stumbling and struggling. She hasn't found a job yet. When Lao Chen learned that she planned to look for a job in several architectural design companies in City S, he called her "Su Design" repeatedly. Su Tang felt awkward listening to it, but she didn't go as far as asking him to change his way of addressing her.

Su Tang nodded, put away her phone and got off the car. Before her feet could land firmly, her grandmother had already come over, smiling and holding Su Tang's hand. "Tang Tang, you're back..." She said, waving her hand to the people in the car. The words were still meant for Su Tang, "Tang Tang, thank you for not leaving Xiao Yi, okay?"

After being reminded by Lao Chen, Su Tang remembered the issue of "childhood sweethearts".

Shen Yi did not laugh as heartily as Su Tang, but rather with a pensive expression, gently looking at Su Tang and smiling quietly.

Take matters into your own hands and have abundant clothing and food.

Curious and scrutinizing gaze towards Su Tang, the expression on that model-like face froze for a moment, as if realizing something, the smile faded slightly, but not to the point of disappearing.

Su Tang raised her eyebrows, and this seemingly temperless person activated the long-dormant negative factors deep within her cells.

Can you please donate me some memory first?

Su Tang has no interest in being polite to Lao Chen, no matter how talkative she is. She reached out and took her own suitcase from Lao Chen's hand. "Thank you, Master Chen, for making this trip... Mr. Shen is not feeling well, so please take him back first."

Shen Yi glanced at Su Tang with some surprise and quickly typed.

Su Tang swears that at this moment she must be looking at him with the eyes of someone observing an alien.

Why?

Su Tang was a little annoyed by Lao Chen's tone of calling someone a deaf person. She looked at Shen Yi and deliberately spoke slowly and clearly, "We were just talking about European restaurants. There is an interesting restaurant owner who put a sign at the door that says 'Bald people and dogs are not allowed inside'."

Su Tang looked satisfied as she watched that face instantly turn black, and she smirked to herself.

Shen Yi shook his head calmly.

ーーI don't have any impression?

"I just met him," Su Tang thought while desperately pulling the bald rat's pumpkin in her mind. She couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of her mouth.

You are quite self-disciplined.

Shen Yi seemed to have fallen asleep, leaning his head against the back of the seat. Su Tang hesitated for a moment, then patted his arm to wake him up. "I've arrived, thank you for picking me up at the airport."

Su Tang doesn't quite understand how to beat around the bush.

Grandma left Su Tang, frowned and got into the car, reached out and touched Shen Yi's forehead, said something in sign language to Shen Yi, and Shen Yi slowly replied to Grandma in sign language. Su Tang couldn't understand, but she saw that Shen Yi's hand was still not put down, and Grandma's originally kind face suddenly became stern, and her gentle voice became severe. "This silly child... Xiao Chen, quickly drive to the hospital!"

Su Tang thought it was just a joke taken too far, quickly tapping out a line of text, tugging at Shen Yi's arm, and holding the phone up to his eyes.

We knew each other before?

As the car came to a stop, Su Tang was about to open the door and get out when she suddenly remembered the person who gets motion sickness.

That day was a sunny day in early August. In the evening, the heat was still heavy. Shen Yi was wearing a light blue shirt and gray trousers. He leaned against the front of a black SUV, looking straight ahead in the direction Su Tang was coming from, giving Su Tang the illusion that the car was for sale.

Old Chen couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror again, "Su, no wonder Dr. Zhou always praises your good personality. You can chat so enthusiastically with a deaf person!"

Old Chen rushed to the driver's seat like a young guard hearing the general's iron order, and Su Tang saw his grandmother decisively close the car door. The spacious SUV immediately turned skillfully on the path as if it had grown eyes, and left in a domineering manner, raising dust.

Um... He seems to be a little car sick.

Shen Yi looked for a full two seconds, then nodded gently.

Have you ever filled out a registration form for body donation?

On the highway, it is not allowed to let mice pull pumpkins.

Shen Yi's mouth curved upwards as he was amused by Su Tang's somewhat childish wording.

When Su Tang first met Shen Yi in the parking lot of S International Airport, she had no idea that he was a man living in a silent world.

Su Tang stared at Shen Yi's sharply defined face in a daze. Her parents divorced when she was three years old, each starting a new family and leaving her behind. She grew up obediently with her grandmother, studying hard every day, and at the age of twenty-four, she had never had a decent relationship... Where did this childhood sweetheart come from all of a sudden?

Shen Yi shakes his head.

Su Tang stared at Shen Yi for a full five seconds.

Shen Yi has a very subtle scent on his body, not a perfume scent, but a kind of smell that makes Su Tang feel very grounded. This smell is very familiar, but Su Tang can't remember it for a moment. She couldn't help but glance at Shen Yi again, but unexpectedly, Shen Yi was also looking at her.

Shen Yi glanced at the phone screen, leaned back against the seat, closed his eyes, and the distinct features of the car model's face alternated between dark and red for a while, then faintly turned pale.

Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything. You can send me a text message or an email.

Do you usually use sign language?

Shen Yizheng looked at her quietly, with a shallow and forced smile.

What should I do about work?

There are more literate people than people who understand sign language.

When you can be with someone in silence, share a moment of tranquility, and not feel awkward, that's when you'll understand that you've met the right person.

How are you getting by these days?

ーーLet's just type, I don't want Lao Chen to hear. You don't seem to be on the same team as him.

Su Tang hasn't even opened her mouth, but Lao Chen, dragging Su Tang's luggage, walked over with a smile on his face. "Thank you, thank you... It's not enough to just say it. Dr. Zhou really has a way of nurturing children. It's hard to find a girl like Su Tang these days, who is both beautiful and knowledgeable."

Old Chen sat in the driver's seat with a meaningful smile, "Dr. Zhou said you two are childhood sweethearts, is that true?"

Su Tang lowered her head again and looked at the message Shen Yi had typed on his phone. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she took the phone from his hand.

Thank you.

Su Tang unscrewed the bottle cap with satisfaction, patted Shen Yi's arm, and handed him the water.

Su Tang sighed. Indeed, not everyone can read while riding in a speeding car.

Looking at Shen Yi's puzzled face, Su Tang took the phone and started typing.

Are you sure?

Are you okay?

Shen Yi nodded slightly.

Shen Yi Yang was sitting on the back of the chair, laughing so hard that his body was shaking. Su Tang noticed that he also had a good figure, slightly thin but it did not affect the overall appearance.

I spoke too quickly ?.

At the back of the car, Lao Chen, who was helping Su Tang with the luggage, seemed to have heard some fresh joke, laughing exaggeratedly and saying, "Su Tang, don't you know he's deaf?"

Su Tang is not a conventional person. Speaking of this, she has already done her utmost. So she put away her phone, sat quietly, and didn't disturb Shen Yi, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Shen Yi smiled a little palely, sat up straight, his slightly messy hair, made a phone gesture to Su Tang, and Su Tang quickly took out her own mobile phone from her bag.

After Mr. Chen put down his luggage, he walked towards the driver's seat. He poked out his completely bald head and looked at Su Tang with exaggerated curiosity on his face. "Su Design, didn't Dr. Zhou tell you?"

Su Tang was taken aback, with one foot on the pedal. She turned her head awkwardly to look at Shen Yi. This handsome man still smiled like a car model. When he suddenly saw Su Tang turn his head to look at him, he increased the sugar content in his smile by several notches, which made Su Tang dizzy in broad daylight.

Shen Yi smiled and nodded, walked over to open the car door for Su Tang, and made a gesture of invitation.

Su Tang was stunned for a full minute, looking at the half-bald, shiny back of the head leaning against the driver's seat, and after careful consideration, she realized that when Lao Chen said those sarcastic words just now, they were indeed out of Shen Yi's sight. Su Tang realized that this was even more unethical than speaking ill of someone behind their back.

Watching Su Tang daze off, Shen Yi smiled and typed on his phone.

Shen Yi glanced at the phone screen, then looked at the person who held the phone in front of him, nodded, took Su Tang's phone, and lightly pursed his lips as he slowly typed two sentences below Su Tang's message.

I told you so, a talented and beautiful girl like Su Sheji must have had good taste since she was young. How could she be interested in a deaf person...

In the Boya Sanatorium?

--Not so, I am Cinderella, and my stepmother gave birth to a sister.

Can you wake up by yourself in the morning without being called?

Before going to the United States at the age of eight, I filled out a whole-body donation form.

I wonder if Shen Yi minds her speaking to him just now. Su Tang sat in the car feeling a little guilty, and Shen Yi followed, sitting beside Su Tang and casually closing the car door.

Su Tang felt a little embarrassed under his gaze. He cleared his throat a few times to suppress the silly smile on his face and buried himself in his phone, typing a line of text.

Shen Yi shook his head and furrowed his brows slightly.

It was twenty years ago.

Su Tang was stunned for a moment, then she pulled him awake again.

Grandma only told her that someone would pick her up at the airport. The person who would pick her up is named Shen Yi, a tall man in his twenties. But she didn't mention that he was such a striking-looking man, nor did she mention that he is a deaf man.

Please translate the following content:

ーーMotion sickness ?.

Shen Yi shook his head apologetically.

Shen Yi was taken aback, nodded, and looked very serious.

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the mineral water bottle, brought it to his mouth, took a small sip, and frowned for a while before swallowing it.

Shen Yixiao smiled, revealing a row of white teeth.

You can speak, and I can understand your lip movements. However, my Chinese is not very good, so please speak slower. If you are willing to speak in English, I can understand more accurately.

The assistant can do sign language interpretation.

Su Tang looked up and glanced at Lao Chen's back.

Su Tang typed with a calm expression.

Give my regards to Doctor Zhou on my behalf.

In Su Tang's mind, the word "hospital" lingered for a while before she remembered that the faint scent on Shen Yi's body was exactly the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

Su Tang smiled and took it, "Merde." (French curse word).

The white horse that pulled Cinderella's carriage was transformed from a mouse, right?

Old Chen detected the hint of gunpowder in Su Tang's words. He smirked and reached out to open the storage box next to the driver's seat, taking out a bottle of mineral water.

Shen Yi smiled silently, his long and clean fingers visibly relaxed, typing so fast that Su Tang's head spun.

Old Chen glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Shen Yi leaning against the seat with a pale face, saying "Drinking water doesn't work."

Su Tang smiled brightly and said, "Mr. Shen, hello. Thank you for coming to pick me up for my grandmother."

Su Tang pursed her lips.

Old Chen hasn't spoken yet. Grandma's face changed first, looking nervously at Su Tang and asking, "What happened to Xiao Yi?"

Su Tang was taken aback.

Grandma never spoils Su Tang, but she can't help but love to hear compliments about her granddaughter. Even though she knows it's flattery, she still can't help but be happy and say, "Oh, no, no... she's still just a little girl with yellow hair!"

I have almost forgotten English, can I speak French?

Childhood sweethearts?

Shen Yi took the phone, exited the memo, opened the address book, quickly entered the name, phone number, E-mail, and home address on the new contact interface, and finally clicked to add a photo, taking a selfie that looked like a sunflower, before returning to the memo page.

Even men have to cry.

Su Tang put down the mineral water bottle.

I lied to him, and you actually believed it!

No, not really...

Eight thirty, the sky has already turned pitch black. Bathed in the soft light in the courtyard, Su Tang could see her grandmother waiting with a beaming smile from afar at the bottom of the apartment building.

Shen Yi has been keeping his eyes closed, and Lao Chen has not been bothering himself anymore. So it was not until the car drove into the gate of Boya Nursing Home, and after several turns inside, it stopped in front of an apartment building. Su Tang also remained silent.
