“You’re no Liu Zihou, so why are you trying to imitate him fishing alone in the snow?” Wen Zhixue sneered. “Do you really think I’ll give you a second glance just because every mountain is empty of birds? You’ve always been pampered and spoiled, so you’d better not waste your time on a vulgar person like me, who spends all day scrambling after money.”
“Otherwise, fishing for snow on the river can only end with you returning empty-handed.”
“How is that returning empty-handed?” Jiang Xu looked up. “Didn’t Liu Zihou manage to catch snow?”
Wen Zhixue was momentarily speechless, but quickly retorted, “So what if he caught snow? Snow is useless. If heavy snow really starts falling, it will only make people shiver with cold.”
“Why does it have to be useful?” Jiang Xu countered.
In a society where everything was driven by results, Wen Zhixue had not heard a question like that in a very long time.
Calligraphy and painting, poetry and music, philosophy, and even love, those seemingly “useless things,” had long since been shelved by her.
If you want money, go to the God of Wealth. If you want safety, you can worship Buddha. To buy a house, find an agent; to travel, find a guide. Everything people needed had someone ready to provide it.
But Jiang Xu liked Wen Zhixue, and never because she was useful.
Because he wanted nothing else, it had to be her.
“Besides...” Jiang Xu chuckled. “If snow falls into my hands, I’m willing to hold it.”
The cultured scoundrel and ideal husband, antique shop owner Jiang Xu, and the decisive, ruthless rising star of the chain bookstore industry, Wen Zhixue
The first book I ever read was "Sweetness First, Closer to the Water" by the same author, and it remains my number one favorite to this day. I reread it whenever I'm in a reading slump. Today, I stumbled upon a new book by the same author that's already finished, and after reading it overnight, all I can say is: from now on, another number one book has been added to my list. You can always trust the author's writing; their books are my spiritual nourishment! 💕
I love this way of getting along! Wenwen is so clear-headed and independent, and Jiang Xu perfectly matches my ideal image of a woman! Ahhh, only female authors truly understand what kind of love girls like! 💕💕💕
A sweet and heartwarming story, flowing gently like a stream, soothing the soul. The author maintains her consistently high standards; this is her third book, and I love them all—they all depict the beauty of life. Thank you for your support, and I look forward to seeing you again! 💕
It's really good! This is the third book I've read by this author, and it's consistently excellent. Their love story unfolds naturally and calmly. The male and female leads have very positive values, and there are no misunderstandings or annoying female supporting characters. I really love it.
A perfect score, no questions asked, it deserves it, absolutely fantastic!
Telling the story in a gentle, flowing manner.
A good book, a rare find.
The author's writing is excellent!
I finished reading it, but now the book is gone.
This is the third book by the author I've read, "A Little Happiness," which is gentle and has no melodramatic plot.
