The marriage between Xie Qingci and Gu Yanchi was a chess game carefully planned by the family. One is a cool and talented girl from a scholarly family, who is good at painting and ink painting; the other is the helmsman of an industrial group and acts vigorously and resolutely. On the wedding day, Xie Qingci's white gauze brushed against Gu Yanchi's straight suit, but it didn't cause any ripples.
After marriage, Xie Qingci moved into Gu Yanchi's lakeside villa, copying ancient paintings in the study every morning and ironing his shirts in the evening. Gu Yanchi always leaves early and comes back late. The two of them are like two parallel lines. They only leave notes on the dining table saying "Breakfast is in the thermos" and "Bring an umbrella on rainy days". Until Gu Yanchi had a stomach attack due to overwork and was sent to the hospital late at night. Xie Qingci stayed by the bed all night, using a towel soaked in warm water to cool him down, and softly humming the Jiangnan tunes he learned when he was young.
When Gu Yanchi woke up and looked at the black and blue eyes of Xie Qingci, he felt strangely soft in his heart. After that, he began to pay attention to her focused silhouette when painting, took her to art exhibitions, and accompanied her to antique markets. When Xie Qingci painted his first portrait, Gu Yanchi was shocked to realize that the trivial daily life blurred by time had already made his heart beat quietly at the same frequency as her brushstrokes. This marriage, which began with a contract, turned into a meaningful line of poetry as time went by.
