Snow fell after New Year's Day, wrapping the whole of Luo City in a silver coat.
The bustling city became much quieter, revealing a different kind of beauty.
Qin Guanglin had already picked up the car he had planned on getting before the year's end—Luo City's winter was too cold, seeing He Fang exhaling mist, her little face red with cold as she stood waiting for the bus at the roadside, made him feel a pang of heartache.
After careful consideration, he withdrew the money he had earned over the past few months and took out some from his savings to add to it, and decided to buy an Audi A3 outright, aiming to cover his bases in case his salary increased again in the future and he found himself wanting to change cars.
Late afternoon, just after five.
"Have you been waiting long?"
After parking the car steadily at the school gate, as He Fang settled in, Qin Guanglin helped her take off her scarf and hat while asking.
"Not really, I just came out."
