The Prince of Beijing, Lu Chen, is the chairman of the Beijing Student Union. He is aloof and ascetic, and is recognized by the whole school as "unapproachable". No one knew that the screen saver on his mobile phone was a photo of a nine-year-old girl holding a cup, with a line of words written on the back of the photo - "I want to marry her."
Jiang Mian, a freshman at Peking University, is cold and distant, as low-key as a transparent person. No one knows that she is the Go genius "Mian Mian" who mysteriously disappeared six years ago, a nine-dan chess player and the youngest captain of the former National Girls Team.
In the library, Lu Chen handed over a note: "Classmate, you must be very good at Go."
Jiang Mian said expressionlessly: "No."
The next second, the screen saver of the phone she dropped lit up - it was the photo he had collected for nine years.
Lu Chen smiled. He has been waiting for this day for nine years.
From campus to the playing field, from domestic to international, she runs away and he chases her; she hides and he waits. When family pressure, shadows from the past, and identity crises came one after another, he always stood by her side and told her: "You are not alone."
This is a story about waiting and rushing. It took him nine years to find her and a lifetime to protect her. And she calculated all the changes in the world on the chessboard, but she only missed one thing——
That nine-year-old boy who stopped her in the hallway really meant what he said.
