Twelve years ago, I was locked at home by my family. They lied to me: "Lin Xu doesn't want you anymore."
Twelve years later, I returned to China as the chief AI expert and met again in the city government conference room.
He is the youngest mayor, and I am his highly paid consultant.
When shaking hands, his fingertips trembled slightly, but his voice was calm: "Dr. Su, I have long admired you."
Everyone says that Mayor Lin is calm and self-possessed, and is the most difficult person to reach in Jiangcheng.
Until the project crisis that night, I stayed up all night to fix the core algorithm.
He came in the rain, looking miserable, and pressed me tightly against the cold chassis of the server, with red eyes:
"Su Wei, these twelve years... I have been looking for you every day."
Later, my algorithm model won awards around the world, and there was a line of poetry hidden in the code comments that no one could understand.
Only he understood it - it was a love letter he wrote to me when he was eighteen but never sent it.
Intention: "Twelve years ago, they were separated by fate;
Twelve years later, they each grew up to be able to catch each other. "
This is what I wanted to write in "After the Reunion, the Cold Mayor He Paniced"——
It's not "he loves her so much",
It's not "she's so awesome".
Rather: they finally deserve each other.
And this "worthiness" was earned inch by inch through more than 4,000 days and nights, walking alone, and never giving up.
This is bigger than love.
