After the Laba Festival, the outdoor temperature in the Capital has dropped to minus five degrees.
The cold wind howls.
In the morning, not only is there frost in the yard, but also thin ice.
It indeed has a kind of beauty where the cold wind ravages the trees and severe frost forms on garden orchids.
Hei Chi had always thought that when Gu Jiangnian spoke of the severe weather in the Capital, it was just a general statement.
Now he realizes, this statement is not general; it is quite representative.
Jiang Muwan and Gu Jiangnian met once on the night of the Laba Festival, and then began a period of days living apart.
Both are busy; often, in a day, there's only a text greeting each other.
And even those are brief.
Mr. Gu gets busy.
He even ends up dealing with time zone differences.
Sometimes, as he gets busy, he forgets which country he is in.
