Luo Xiaochi, a former national team member and skiing legend, retires with honors after being injured in an unsuccessful attempt to break a Guinness World Record.
Finding a new job proves much harder than he imagined.
Facing the mess his life has become, Luo Xiaochi coolly takes a drag on his cigarette.
Apart from skiing, all he has to offer is his face and a physique worthy of a Greek statue. His friends are worried he'll go astray.
One possible wrong turn is Chu Xu.
Friend A/B/C: "That bastard's a real piece of work. See my face? He did that! He acts like a decent person around you, but don't let him fool you. He's a wolf you can't tame, and he might stab you in the back at any moment!"
Luo Xiaochi clenches his cigarette between his teeth. "Him? He's not up to it."

Chu Xu, the ruthless, fake, untamable wolf, gets drunk and crouches miserably by the roadside, his eyes bloodshot.
A stray cat passing by thinks he has some dried fish and rubs against his feet. Instead, he grabs it and gives it a couple of vigorous scritches.
The cat: ???
Chu Xu hiccups and mutters angrily, "He... he says I can't do it? I'll... I'll get him tomorrow!"
Luo Xiaochi, passing by by chance: "...Get who?"

Reader's Guide:
1. Luo is the top and Chu is the bottom. Older top, evenly matched, one-on-one, happy ending, with the bottom pursuing the top.
2. A freestyle skiing sports story, possibly a slow burn.
3. The leads' names come from the line "The moon rises early, the snow melts late, and I stand before the red wall in order."
Theme: Don't fear loneliness. Keep working hard and growing.
