* A story set in a military compound
* Cool, reserved military pilot / gentle female photographer
* Rekindled romance
In the fall of 2008, the capital was still basking in the Olympic celebrations. Shen Zhishu was fifteen that year. She arrived in Beijing after a long journey of a thousand li, carrying two suitcases by herself, ready to live with her maternal grandfather.
For the third time, she stood hesitantly at the entrance to the compound, waiting for the person her grandfather had said would come to pick her up. Suddenly, someone came up behind her and took one of her suitcases. A boy had come over from the training grounds. She turned around instinctively and saw a tall, upright figure with cool, refined features.
She later learned that his name was Zhou Shinan.
Shen Zhishu's life was one long repetition of being abandoned. The only one willing to stop for her was Zhou Shinan, who had always been so proud.
From the age of fifteen to twenty-seven.
At last, beneath the vast, windswept skies of the Northwest, they stood side by side.
"Shen Zhishu, it's been a long time."
Her nose stung. She lowered her eyes. "Zhou Shinan, this time I'm the one who came looking for you."
