Yibo is deaf here in the story which doesn't mean he can't speak. He won't know how low or high his voice may sound or his pronounciation but he can speak. Thats all! Enjoy reading

The Unveiling of Hearts

"I-I lou-uve y-you," he whispered, his voice filled with emotion as he finally spoke the words that had been buried deep within his heart.

Yibo found himself surprised by the words that had just escaped his lips, yet a sigh of relief involuntarily slipped past them. His gaze remained fixed on Zhan, who could no longer conceal the growing smile that graced his face.

"I love you too"

 
Zhan declared without hesitation, his fingers gracefully signing the words to Yibo before enveloping him in a warm embrace. Drawing Yibo close to his chest with a gentle thump, Zhan tenderly rested his hands on the soft strands of Yibo's hair, pressing a soft kiss to his head. In that moment, nothing else mattered to Zhan. His mind and heart found peace in the knowledge that Yibo reciprocated his feelings. Nothing would deter him from loving this boy who evoked such a profound array of emotions within him.

Yibo's mouth remained slightly agape, unable to fully process the turn of events. Instead of pushing him away, Zhan had pulled him in, his embrace offering comfort and acceptance. Unbeknownst to him, tears welled in Yibo's eyes as he closed them, arms instinctively wrapping around Zhan's waist as they drifted into a peaceful sleep together.

The next morning, their friends awoke to the sight of Zhan and Yibo sharing soft smiles, the air tinged with an unspoken understanding. Zhan made the announcement they were officially dating, prompting a chorus of applause and congratulations from their friends.

"It was all because of me! Yes!" Haoxuan's jubilant proclamation pierced the air, causing Jiang Cheng to wince and cover his ears.

"No way, it was me! I suggested it," Xie Yun protested, sparking a lively debate among their friends as they vied for the title of matchmaker.

Yibo watched their animated reactions with a fond smile, never imagining he would find such loving and supportive friends in this new school. Since childhood, he had only his brother by his side, caring for him. However, seeing his friends' genuine happiness and support filled him with delight.

Glancing at Yibo beside him, Zhan felt a swell of affection in his chest. Yibo was the one for him, he knew it with certainty. Yibo's kindness and selflessness, especially towards his loved ones, resonated deeply with Zhan. Unlike others who viewed Zhan as intimidating or aloof, Yibo took the time to understand him, melting away the icy facade Zhan often wore.

The day had slipped away amid students strolling to the crest of the hill, capturing picturesque moments. Jiyang was insistent on taking photographs of Yibo and Zhan, while Jiang Cheng smiled fondly from a distance, observing their camaraderie.

As the time to depart arrived, everyone diligently packed up their belongings and tents, preparing to leave. Yibo was in the midst of closing his bags when Zhan approached from behind, enveloping him in his strong arms, pressing a tender kiss to Yibo's nape. A shiver of pleasure raced down Yibo's spine, his cheeks flushing at the unexpected intimacy. Zhan gently turned him around, drawing him into a warm embrace. Their serene moment, however, was abruptly interrupted by Haoxuan walking in on them.

"Zhan, we're all set to go—oh! My bad, carry on, just... hurry up!" Haoxuan's voice trailed off as he hastily retreated, clearly flustered at the sight of Zhan's stern gaze.

Yibo couldn't help but chuckle as he leaned in to capture Zhan's soft lips in a tender kiss, causing Zhan to jolt as though startled. Holding Zhan's hands, Yibo led him towards their waiting bus, pulling along the still-flustered and red-faced Zhan, who was clearly caught off guard by the sudden affection.

Seated inside the bus, the journey back home was characterized by a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, with everyone finding comfort in sleep, occasionally leaning on each other. It was a precious memory for Zhan and Yibo, who hoped fervently that this euphoric feeling would endure, basking in each other's warmth as they dozed off.

However, this idyllic tranquility was not destined to last, for a new storm loomed on the horizon, waiting to challenge their newfound bliss.
