During the trip to the summer resort when she was ten years old, Su Nian remembered Lin Yanzhou - that boy who was six years older than her. He was missing half of his front teeth when he smiled, like a clumsy little rabbit, but he would pull her to take a shortcut to see the waterfall, and remember her favorite popsicle flavor. The mothers who were traveling with her joked that they would recognize her as their goddaughter. Although this did not come true, the half front tooth became a mark engraved in time.
Ten years later, Su Nian, who graduated from university, interviewed to join the Zhujing Architectural Office and found that his immediate boss was actually Lin Yanzhou. The man in front of him was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his front teeth had been completely repaired. He had lost his youthful youthfulness and gained a bit of the calmness and sharpness of a professional elite. He actually still remembered the waterfall she painted and the details of that summer, which suddenly revived her dusty memory.
From being a superior in the workplace to being a partner in fighting side by side, Su Nian gradually discovered that this seemingly indifferent director concealed the attentiveness and tenderness of the young boy back then: he remembered the preferences she casually mentioned, patiently guided her when she made mistakes, and silently supported her dream of baking when she was confused. Lin Yanzhou also saw in Su Nian the purity and enthusiasm that time has not erased.
The mothers' rematch was like a key, opening up the subtle barrier between the two. From meeting to falling in love, from flash marriage to having children, they turned the vague marks of their childhood into a long and smooth life. When her daughter was babbling and pointing at Lin Yanzhou's teeth, Su Nian would always think of that summer when the cicadas were chirping - it turns out that some people have quietly lived in their hearts since they first met, waiting for a reunion at the right time.
