Xu Xu first met Wen Jiaxing on a silent, snowy night.
Beneath the eaves swept by the night wind, a man sat alone in a wheelchair, his expression gloomy and pale. One arm rested on the wheelchair's silver armrest. His sleeve was rolled up, revealing a thin, bony wrist.
As if sensing something, Xu Xu turned and met a pair of striking, beautiful eyes.
Snow still blanketed the courtyard, and the air was bitterly cold.
The man looked over with a distant expression, his sharp features touched by the faint chill of winter.
Xu Xu hesitated, then stepped forward and picked up the thin blanket lying on the ground.

After graduating from university, Xu Xu's adoptive father fell gravely ill.
To put her father at ease while he recovered, Xu Xu agreed to marry a man she'd met only twice on blind dates.
The night before the wedding, her fiance's mother called to tell her not to bring her father to the wedding.
Her reason was that having a sick person attend the wedding banquet would bring bad luck to the newlyweds.
Xu Xu listened quietly and said nothing.
On the day of the wedding, she calmly pulled off her veil and left the hotel without looking back.
The chill of early spring lingered, and the fine rain was cold.
Xu Xu sat with her head bowed on a park bench, ignoring the strange looks of passersby. She was like a stray cat with no home.
A shadow fell over her without warning.
Someone blocked the rain falling on her shoulder, and Xu Xu looked up.
The man tilted his umbrella over her. His suit sleeve was pushed slightly up, revealing the mark of a bite on his wrist.
Rain dampened the corners of his eyes. His dark lashes drooped, unable to hide the gentle, distant look in his eyes. He asked, "An'an, will you marry me?"
Xu Xu blinked and, as if under a spell, nodded. "Okay."
The rain kept falling.
But the rain in her world had stopped.
