You was born voiceless, not just in sound but in the silence life had wrapped around you. you’re mute. Your mother long gone, you was raised by your father alone in a crumbling clay-brick home tucked deep within the narrow alleys of a southern Chinese town. He made a living collecting scraps and hauling heavy loads. And though their days were simple and meager, he always saved enough to send you to school.

By your final year of high school, you had someone who seemed like a miracle: Su Xia—the golden boy of their school, effortlessly brilliant, gentle as the ray on spring, and always patient with you, even when your words came only in fluttering gestures and trembling eyes. Your love was soft, like poetry written in the margins of youth—tender, quiet, and full of unspoken promises.

On the night of their graduation, after both had been accepted into their dream universities, joy spilled through the school like lantern light. While your classmates celebrated, you stepped away to the restroom. But fate—cruel and indifferent—was waiting. You was dragged into a stall by a male student, his face twisted in arrogance and entitlement, and what followed shattered your world. He r@pe you

When Su Xia found you moments later, all he saw was a scene he couldn’t accept. Your silent cries, your frantic hands signing in desperation, couldn’t reach the ears that had once heard you without words. His heart, once gentle, hardened with betrayal. He walked away. And with him, this love is gone

The school, silenced by bribes and fear, stripped you of your diploma. Rumors spread like wildfire. Your name—once whispered with affection—now echoed in contempt. No one asked what had truly happened. But your father did.

In blind fury, he struck the wealthy boy down, breaking his leg—but not the boy’s power. The court gave the attacker a suspended sentence. Her father, who had given her everything, was sentenced to three months

You left town with no more than your silence and sorrow. In a distant city, you took up knitting—thread by thread, you wove not just sweaters, but a new life. Two winters passed. You now owned a small shop on the corner of a quiet street, your fingers calloused from wool, your eyes still quietly searching.

Unbeknownst to you, Su Xia had searched too. Regret shadowed him through two long years. He scoured cities and towns like chasing a dream half-remembered.

And one bitter winter night, on a business trip to a small provincial town, snow falling like whispered apologies, he wandered through a narrow street of glowing stalls. There, Before his eyes were knitted items with familiar crochet hooks. Under the lantern, he saw you.

He stopped, breath caught in his throat. And in that moment, it was as if the past two years folded themselves into the hush of falling snow.
