Ge Shiqing loves snow.
Snow in the city, snow in the countryside, snow in the mountains, snow by the sea... Each kind carries the feeling of a story and a touch of romance.
Chen Qian hates snowy days the most.
That's because the icy wind blows through the bridge where he takes shelter, stealing away every last bit of warmth he's managed to gather.
Yet these two people meet on a snowy day.
Chen Qian points the object he's carrying for self-defense at Ge Shiqing's throat.
But Ge Shiqing leans his neck forward a little, looking completely unconcerned.
"If you want to die, find somewhere else."
"I think this place is fine." Ge Shiqing looks up and meets Chen Qian's eyes.
Later, Chen Qian learns to appreciate the scenery, but never sees the person who taught him again.

A story about a rich girl and a poor boy.
The place, era, and characters are all fictional, with no real-life inspirations.
A short story, so it won't be long. I just want to write something I like.
