Description
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.

My Thoughts on Hearing You Say Love
"Hearing You Say Love" immediately grabbed my attention with its mature themes and intriguing premise. A romance between a confident, glasses-wearing, and mute protagonist and a straight younger man? I was definitely curious to see how the author would pull it off. After diving in, I found myself thoroughly enjoying the journey.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were captivating. I was particularly drawn to Su Ming, the main character. He's not portrayed as a victim despite his disability; instead, he's mature, self-assured, and comfortable in his own skin. This refreshing take on a character facing such challenges immediately set the story apart. The dynamic between Su Ming and Zao Beiyuan, the male lead, was also intriguing from the start.
What Works Well
The character development is definitely a strong point. Su Ming's subtle flirting and playful nature, combined with Zao Beiyuan's initial confusion and eventual acceptance, create a believable and engaging relationship. I especially appreciated that Zao Beiyuan isn't the typical clueless male lead. He takes his time to process his feelings, but when he does, he's decisive and committed. The story also shines in its portrayal of a healthy relationship. The characters communicate well and dote on each other, creating a sense of warmth and domesticity that's genuinely heartwarming. The mature themes are handled with sensitivity and depth, making the romance feel earned and realistic.
