In the midsummer of 1996, Lin Xiaowen, a graduate of the Chinese Department, and Zhou Zhiyuan, a criminal police officer, met in the auditorium of the Normal University. In that era without WeChat or high-speed rail, love began with a piece of paper with a public phone number written on it, and the second button on a police uniform that was loosened.
When Zhou Zhiyuan was seriously injured and comatose during a mission in the millennium, Lin Xiaowen stayed in front of the hospital bed for three months with her pregnant belly raised. After waking up, her husband's memory was blurry, but he always remembered the fragrance of her gardenia scent.
Their children, the precocious Zhou Siyuan and the stubborn Zhou Nianwen, carry the imprint of their parents into completely different lives:
• A young computer genius from Tsinghua University immerses himself in coding to develop an intelligent exoskeleton that can help his father stand again;
• A girl in medical school has dissected numerous neurological specimens, but she still cannot solve the mystery of her father's brain injury.
And the mother-in-law Wang Xiulan, who was always picky about her daughter-in-law, was caressing the photo of Lin Xiaowen when she was first married in the album late at night. On the back of the yellowed photo paper was written: "This girl's eyes are as bright as mine back then."
