Dou Xiao first met Liang Xuezhi on an abandoned highway.
The car was thick with smoke, and her profile was like snow melting on a mountaintop. Everyone was looking at her.
The driver asked him, "Getting in?"
He watched her take one last drag and toss away her cigarette, then gave a one-word answer: "Yeah."
The second time Dou Xiao saw her was at a rundown hotel. A man went to knock on her door in the middle of the night. When it opened, he found himself staring down the barrel of a gun.
Watching the man tremble, she smiled. "It's a toy gun."
Dou Xiao's lips curled into a grin.
Wild. Not a snowflake, but a thorn.
Once it digs into your flesh, you can't pull it out.
The third time Dou Xiao saw Liang Xuezhi was on a mountaintop.
The sun gilded the peaks. She lit a cigarette, gave him a cool look for a few seconds, and asked, "Are you free tonight?"
After one reckless night together, Dou Xiao realized she wasn't a thorn at all. She was a creature from the deep sea, and once she had you in her grasp, you'd lose your life.
He savored the memory of the night before and leisurely lit a cigarette.
It was worth losing his life for.

A year later, the new song "Escape" by the LeoMinor band became a nationwide hit.
As the entire crowd sang along at the band's tour concert, the man onstage, wearing a feral expression, stopped and panted softly before telling everyone, "This song is for someone..."
Before he could finish, Dou Xiao suddenly leaped off the stage in front of the whole crowd and all the cameras. Amid the chaotic, surging audience, he grabbed a snow-white wrist with perfect precision.
He said nothing, just held on to her tightly.
Liang Xuezhi turned around and brushed the man's sweat-damp hair back. Seeing the restraint in his expression, she rose on tiptoe and softly kissed his chin, then asked with a smile, "Are you free tonight?"
