        和聋子竹马联姻后，我们天天做恨。没有感情，全是技巧。五年时间一到，本打算立刻解除协议。眼前却浮现出他聋着耳朵为我买糖葫芦差点被车撞的画面，一下心软。 [MSC, simp.]

        After I get married to be in alliance with my deaf childhood sweetheart, we have sex every day, but there’s no love involved—just physical intimacy. When our five-year anniversary was coming up, I was ready to end the relationship right away. But then I remembered the time he nearly got hit by a car while he was out buying me candied hawthorn. That memory made me feel so tenderhearted all of a sudden.
