Sixteen-year-old Lin Qi was politely sent away by his father and came to Qinghe Lane in Jiangcheng alone with his mother's old photos.
She didn't find Aunt Cen in the photo, but met eighteen-year-old Zhou Yansheng at the door of the closed photo studio.
Zhou Yansheng is poor, cold, and not nosy. But it rained too much that day, so he opened the rolling shutter for her.
Starting from a cup of hot water, a room, and a transfer of schools, Lin Qi gradually found a place to go back to.
She called him Brother Sheng, thinking that was a family name.
…
Many years later, Zhou Yansheng admitted that what he wanted to give her was not just a roof to shelter from the rain, but a real home.
