On the campus in September, the sycamore leaves were falling, and Chen Mo came to the rescue of Song Zhi, the school beauty who was entangled by gangsters.
The moment the girl turned around, he heard a whisper: "Xiao Xiaomo, long time no see."
Dust-laden memories were awakened - fifteen years ago, they had shared the last toffee in an alley full of gardenias.
From the welcome party to the sunset in the library, from the confession under the cherry blossom tree to the interlocking fingers in the graduation photo, their love is as sweet as gardenia honey in early summer.
Seven years after their marriage, Song Zhi became pregnant, and all prenatal examinations showed that everything was normal. But fate showed a cruel smile on the day of delivery. Song Zhi passed away due to amniotic fluid embolism, leaving only her daughter Chen Nianzhi and a recording: "Mo Mo, if I could do it again, I would still come to you this September..."
Chen Mo suffered from psychogenic amnesia and locked the memory of Song Zhi into the deepest part of his subconscious.
He raised his daughter alone and became the best single father. But every year when the gardenias bloomed, he would stand under the flower tree for a long time.
Fifty years later, Chen Mo slowly closed his eyes in the hospital bed as his daughter called. In a daze, he returned to the afternoon when the parasol trees were flying when he was eighteen years old. A girl with a ponytail smiled and said to him——
"Xiao Xiaomo, long time no see."
