[Two male protagonists + external heat and internal dryness x climate-aware sensitivity]
[Gu Nanhui x Shen Yi]
That year, the first snow fell in Jiangbei City, and the two of them were seven years old. Shen Ji stood in the snow for less than five minutes before he began to tremble, his face turned pale, and his fingertips turned red from the cold.
Gu Nanhui dragged him back into the house, put gloves on him, covered his hands and stuffed them into his arms, scolding him for being stupid. Later, Gu Nanhui learned that what Shen Ji was afraid of was not the cold—it was something that carved the word "cold" into his bones that winter.
Since then, Gu Nanhui has developed a habit: every year before winter, he warms his stained hands.
In the midsummer of the second year of junior high school, Shen Ji quietly transferred to another school and left. No goodbyes, no explanations, just empty seats on the desk. Gu Nanhui sent him countless messages, first asking questions, then "where are you", and then only "the temperature is cooling down today".
Shen Yu replied intermittently, sometimes in long sentences, sometimes with just a period.
Gu Nanhui completed his freshman year of high school step by step, with no surprises. Until the early morning of the summer vacation in the freshman year of high school, my mother called: "Go pick someone up."
At the arrival gate of the airport, Shen Yi dragged his suitcase out. I lost weight, my facial features relaxed, and my whole person was different.
"There are many winters in a person's life, and Shen Ji lived in one winter for many years."
