Tian Kuo (Eddie Peng, All About Women, My So-Called Love) is a genial twenty-year-old living with his parents, running deliveries for their restaurant, biking boxed lunches all over the city. He often stops at the local swimming pool, dropping off orders for the team of deaf athletes who train there.
One day he notices Yang Yang (Ivy Chen), a pretty young deaf girl who follows the team to cheer on her sister Xiao Peng, who's hoping to make the cut for the forthcoming Deaflympics. Tian Kuo's instantly smitten. With the use of sign language, he tries to strike up a friendship with Yang Yang, hoping it'll lead to something more. As it turns out, Yang Yang is not actually deaf.
