"who!"

I almost collapsed to the ground and accidentally bumped into the glass door. Kevin's voice came clearly from inside the door.

My vision was blurred, and I couldn't help but hold my breath due to the embarrassment and confusion. After a moment of silence, I heard fierce and interlaced panting sounds from inside the door again.

I didn't know how I stumbled home. It was not until I turned on the light that I suddenly saw a shocking trail of bloody footprints at the door.

It turned out that in my eagerness to find Kevin, I even forgot to wear my shoes.

I numbly pulled out the glass fragments that had pierced my soles. Every time I pulled out a piece, my flesh and blood were torn apart, but the pain was not even one ten-thousandth of the heartache. The high fever had not subsided yet. I lay on the sofa in a daze, and my tears silently soaked the pillow.

How I wish this was just a dream, and nothing happened after I woke up. Half a month later, I will still be Kevin 's bride, walking towards the wedding and happy harbor that I have been looking forward to for ten years.

However, the crying of children upstairs and the honking of cars outside the window are mercilessly reminding me that all this is real...

I don't know how long it took, but I felt a sharp pain in the sole of my foot. I opened my eyes and saw Kevin holding my foot, carefully helping me pick out the remaining broken glass, and then gently bandaging it for me.

After ten years, it seems that taking care of me has become his habit. After he bandaged me skillfully, he looked up at me. He didn't ask me how the injury on my foot came about, but complained impatiently: "Knowing that you are deaf, why don't you stay at home?"

Perhaps realizing that the deaf man couldn't hear him, he frowned and said coldly: "That's right, I don't want to marry someone like you."

This sentence pierced my heart like a sharp knife. Thinking back to high school, a group of kids followed me with laughter, but I couldn't hear what they were saying. I continued walking as if nothing had happened, but Kevin , who came to pick me up , rushed up and wrestled with them without hesitation. In the end, he was covered in bruises and hugged me in his arms with heartache. I didn't understand why, so I asked him why he was fighting?

"They called you deaf... Lena, you are not deaf, you have ears, and I am your ears..." He cried very sadly that day, and for the first time I realized how sad and cruel the world of the deaf is. But I don't care, because Kevin said that he would always be my ears.

Now , my ears seem to have been found, but how come the word "deaf" came out of Kevin 's mouth?

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I pinched my palms hard. Maybe there was something wrong with my eyes, he pursed his lips and quickly gestured to me in sign language: "Does it hurt?"

Before I could answer, his phone vibrated. In front of me, he opened Wanda's voice message: "Boss Gu, you are so mean. Your kiss made my legs go weak~"

Wanda and Kevin were college classmates. After returning to China, she became his general manager's secretary. The two often sent voice messages, although sometimes in the middle of the night, but because of my trust in Kevin, I always thought they were talking about work.

"There are worse ones, do you want to try?" Kevin replied with a smile on his face.

" Who are you talking to?" I asked suddenly, and Kevin was startled. But he quickly calmed down and told me in sign language: "Customer, there is a batch of goods that is urgent."

The second after he finished signing with me, he immediately sent a voice message to the other party: "I bought a set of underwear for Lena, it looks good, buy another set next time, and wear it for me to see."

"I hate him so much that I don't want to wear the same clothes as that cripple..."

I didn't want to listen to their explicit dialogue anymore, so I limped towards the room. I hugged the family photo with my parents, curled up on the bed, and covered my ears with the quilt. However, the door was too thin, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't block out the unbridled laughter of the two people outside the door. Every word was like a slow torture.

Kevin like this is really dirty, I don't want him anymore. They chatted for a while, and then there was a loud door slamming in the living room.
