“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 read was "I Will Sweet You Near the Water Tower" written by the author. That book is still the top one in my heart and I will read it again every time when I am short of books. Today I accidentally discovered that the author has published a new book and has finished it. After reading it overnight, I just want to say: From now on, I have another top-1 book in my heart. You can always trust the author's writing style. Big books are my spiritual food! [Sending Hearts]
I really like this way of getting along. Wen Wen is really sober and independent, and Jiang Xu perfectly fits the image in my mind.
Sure enough, only female authors know best what kind of love girls like [send heart][send heart][send heart]
A simple and warm little sweet article, a long-lasting flow of water, which warms people's hearts. The author has performed as steadily as ever. This is already the third book. I love every one of them and they are all about the beauty of life. Thank you for your company and look forward to seeing you again [sending heartfelt messages]
It's really good to read. This is the third book I've read by the author. It's always been well received. Their love is natural and very plain. The male and female protagonists have very upright views, and there's no mistaking the female counterpart. I really like it.
Full marks, don't ask, it's worthy, it's awesome
Come on, let the water flow slowly
Beautiful, good books are rare
The author's writing is very good
I have finished reading it. Now look at it. Why is the book gone?
This is the third book by this author that I have read. Fortunately, there is no bloody plot. It is gentle and long-lasting.
