At sixteen, fate swept through like a gale, blowing the roof off Bai Xueyuan's home. Just as despair was setting in, Jin Pingchuan passed by. He too had been robbed by the storm, but still reached out to help him.
From then on, Jin Pingchuan gave Bai Xueyuan a roof over his head.
Jin Pingchuan was always taciturn, but reliable enough. So Bai Xueyuan was perfectly obedient, wanting only to make life easy for him.
Until, at nineteen, Bai Xueyuan ruined Jin Pingchuan's marriage prospects.
Jin Pingchuan smoked and asked what he was playing at.
Bai Xueyuan looked into his eyes and said softly, "Jin Pingchuan, I've grown up."
At the time, Jin Pingchuan didn't understand what Bai Xueyuan meant.
It wasn't until nine years later, on an ordinary afternoon, that Jin Pingchuan suddenly remembered those words, and felt a mysterious pang in his heart.
"We're not related by blood. We're bound by the snow."

There are so few readers, but the writing is pretty good. I can stay up late reading it and not abandon the article the next day.
I finally finished it after watching it for two days. It was really, really painful. I can no longer describe the emotion and pain in it with words. Towards the end, I started to wonder if we should be together, or if be would be a better ending for both of us. It's very well written, very true. Everyone's perspective is very real. [Heartbroken] Crying while working is really painful. I need to read some mindless sweet stories to buffer me [cover my face and peek]
