    Summary

    It's 1986 and for Xie Lian, a deaf college student, the world keeps getting bigger. For the first time in his life, he’s putting himself out there and experiencing things his overprotective parents would never imagine, including four consecutive dates with Hua Cheng, a 21 year old Harley enthusiast whose laid back personality and fluent sign language make him irresistible.

    As overwhelming as his newfound independence is, Xie Lian is happier than he's ever been.

    All of this changed on November 12th, 1986 — the day he disappears without a trace.

    Xie Lian is kept bound in his captor’s basement — a man he cannot identify due to the mask he wears. When he manages to escape, he discovers he has been missing for nearly four years, and nothing in his life is the same. Worst of all, his captor remains a free man unless Xie Lian can find a way to identify him.

    Though his entire world has turned upside down, one thing remains the same: Hua Cheng’s affection for him. Together, they work through the events of the past four years to help Xie Lian come to terms with his trauma and find a way to catch his captor. It becomes clear before long that until the man is caught, Xie Lian is far from safe…

    Summary

    Our tale begins with Xie Lian hiring an escort to help him deal with an “unspeakable affliction” after a disastrous breakup forced him to leave college and return to his hometown.

    Hua Cheng (or Wuming, as he is called when we first meet him) isn’t really interested in helping people—he just wants to get paid. If the situation with a client seems too complicated to deal with, he has no problem walking away. But for some reason he can’t explain, he feels compelled to help Xie Lian.

    The two find themselves very quickly drawn to one another, but nothing in life is easy, especially when it comes to love.

    Xie Lian is struggling to forget about the demise of the relationship that ruined his life—a struggle complicated by the fact that his ex may or may not be stalking him.

    Meanwhile, Hua Cheng is busy running from a past that will soon catch up to him with deadly consequences.
