"If life is a drawing, I would like to spend my whole life drawing a future with you."
In the summer when she turned eighteen, Lin Qi left the ancient town of Jiangnan and walked into the provincial capital university with a stack of old photos and a wood-carved lotus that her grandfather had given her.
She didn't know that deep inside this campus, there was a garden of the Republic of China that had been abandoned for half a century - Jingyuan.
She didn't know that her grandfather spent three years there when he was young, and that Grand Master Taishi stayed there for his whole life.
Little did she know that the boy who always appeared in the quiet garden would become her most gentle answer in the years to come.
Lu Sichen, the legendary "God of Programming" in the computer science department, is the son of an upstart in Beijing's science and technology industry.
He thought the world was made up of 0s and 1s, until he met the girl who held an umbrella for him in the rain.
What she wants to protect is the old house that is about to disappear.
What he wants to create is a new world that connects the future.
When rigorous drawings meet free code, when traditional ingenuity meets rational algorithms——
They spent four years writing a story about ideals, protection and two-way travel.
The moonlight in the quiet garden, the fireworks in the old city, the heavy rain in the mountain village, the dawn of entrepreneurship...
From strangers to side by side, from misunderstanding to understanding, from campus to the world.
It turns out that the best love is not that I protect you from the wind and rain, but that I want to work with you to leave more beauty to this world.
Time goes by and everything becomes a mystery.
Only you are all my answers.
