ADAPTED FROM DURING THE SNOWSTORM

BY MOBAO FEIBAO

I'm going to bed. See you later.

Go ahead.

Why are you up so early?

I'm used to waking up early for classes.

What's wrong? You look bothered.

It didn't go well last night?

Meng Xiaodong is her cousin.

That guy is her cousin?

You're doomed.

You're so doomed.

I thought you were going out.

Yes, we're waiting for you.

Waiting for me?

I'll be fine alone.

Why would you stay alone?

You won't even have a decent meal.

Come with us.

-You--

-What time is your training?

Around three or four.

Do you want to get changed?

No, I can go out like this.

Let's go then. It's getting late.

Let me get changed.

Wait. Let me grab my phone and bag.

Not bad, man.

You went straight to the point.

Well,

are we going far?

Should I wear sneakers?

There won't be much walking.

I've called a cab.

Okay.

The scallops are quite good.

Right?

Indeed.

-Is it nice?

-Yes.

Nice, right?

This is a local specialty.

Salmon soup.

Okay.

Yours is coming soon.

Okay.

Is it nice?

Yes.

Let me bring you to a nice spot.

Sure. Let's go.

That's it. We're done.

Enjoy the food.

Don't make them go to waste.

Yin Guo, I'm going with him.

Okay.

See you.

Do you want some more scallops?

No, thank you.

I'm getting stuffed.

I got the third wheel away.

Here's a useful tip.

This is a place for dating.

Did something come up?

Are you rushing to leave?

I'm almost done.

I'm done.

You…

What happened? He looks so serious.

The metro stopped, so we need a cab?

Or do we have to walk home?

Or did the landlord change his mind

about renting me the room?

Do you want ice cream?

Ice cream?

Yes.

There's a DIY ice cream shop

nearby.

Okay.

JADELINO ICE CREAM

Let me ask Wu Wei.

Why is it closed?

I forgot.

It closed down in October.

I'm sorry.

Where are you? We'll go find you.

I'll send you the address.

It closed down.

What…

What do we do?

I know another place. Let's go.

There.

Food again?

Are you full?

A little bit.

Let's go.

Turn around.

Hey, you're here.

Ping.

What would you like?

Here.

Take a look. The chef isn't here.

I'll cook for you.

Make us an ice cream.

Make it…

No problem.

Sit wherever you want.

I'll be right there.

Go get some dried rose petals and berries.

What?

What's the matter with you?

You've brought a girl here for a date

without doing some research.

We're not on a date.

We are housemates.

Housemates?

Yes.

We share an apartment.

What should I get? Come again.

Topping for the ice cream.

Dried rose petals and berries.

It's right on that street.

Is that the new term for living together?

Stop the nonsense.

His first time.

What?

It's his first time bringing a girl.

I've known him for two years.

We were just passing by.

Passing by?

Did he work here part-time?

We met at a billiard room

and became friends.

He came by to help when he was free.

He surely has a lot of friends.

He's a nice guy and he's handsome.

Who wouldn't like him, right?

Keep the rest.

I'm not taking advantage of you.

You'll have it all.

Isn't it too much?

It will be a waste.

Fine.

I'll do as you say

to show respect

for Lin Yiyang's housemate.

We met at a billiard room.

He's a retired baseball player

who also knows billiards.

Here you are.

It's so pretty. Thank you.

Don't mention it.

He's going to pay anyway.

I'll watch my game.

Come to me if you need anything.

Okay.

You're graduating soon.

Aren't you busy?

Not so much now.

Are you planning

to stay here or go back home?

I haven't decided.

Have you considered going pro?

-Me?

-Yes.

No.

I think you should think about it.

I mean it.

Many players never

attend world tournaments

and focus on regional ones.

Do you know why?

Some of them aren't interested

in the world ranking.

Some of them

can't adapt to the greater contests

due to their weak minds.

That's me.

What?

No way.

Why would you

say that?

Have you ever tried sweet liquor?

Is it nice?

It's just liquor as a dessert.

It's not bad.

Do you want to try it?

Wait for me.

Ping.

Do you have any of that aged liquor left?

Just a little bit.

Pour me a glass.

She may not like it.

Let me get you something the girls like.

No.

I want that one.

What for?

Is that how you run a business?

But it's unnecessary.

She may not like it.

You can't tell her how pricey it is.

It's awkward.

But it doesn't show your sincerity

unless you tell her the price.

Just stop it.

You're giving me a headache.

Fine. I'll stop.

Hurry up.

Just end it.

You're not going to sell the residual.

Other customers don't get so much.

Thank you.

Why did he insist on this one?

I don't get it.

Is it sweet?

Try it.

It's a tasty aged sweet liquor.

It's rare.

Have you tried it?

I had a glass

when it was opened last month.

Wines and liquor

are highly unique,

especially the aged ones.

Only the lucky ones

get to taste them.

You're holding

the last glass.

Then I have to savor it.

It's so strong. It burns a bit.

It's a bit sweet indeed.

It's nice.

Hello, Ping.

Nice liquor. It's one of a kind.

You devour hotdogs and pizza,

but you serve her fine liquor.

Stop telling me that you're not into her.

You know what?

It warms my stomach after the seafood.

I'll get her back.

No need.

Have fun. I can go back alone.

I got the cab.

Again? It's so pricey.

What's wrong?

I got something in my eyes.

Let's go.

-See you.

-Bye, Yin Guo.

Thank you.

Wu Wei, where are we going?

Nowhere.

We're just taking a walk to save money.

They know it's my table.

Call me if you need me.

Okay.

You should have told me.

I would have paid.

I wanted coffee and got you one too.

I stayed up for the thesis

and now I'm sleepy.

I've been eating and drinking

ever since I got up today.

I'm running late.

Okay.

See you.

Bye.

I won't be coming next week.

Anyway, call me if you need anything.

Be careful on the way.

Start training.

Stay focused now.

Hello, Coach.

How's the training?

Everything is good.

I'm about to get started.

I'm going to practice the jump shot.

I know you're self-disciplined.

It says on the news

that there's another storm there.

Yes, it snowed, but it has stopped.

Coach, have you heard of Wu Wei?

He's a contestant in the championship.

I've seen his name on the list,

but he hasn't played the 9-ball.

I don't know him.

Just a second.

Ms. Yang.

Have you heard of Wu Wei?

Wu Wei?

He's from Dongxin City.

He's a talented kid,

but he hasn't played much these years.

So he's not in the world rankings.

Then…

What about Lin Yiyang?

Lin Yiyang. I know that kid.

He plays snooker.

When he won the championship,

my wife was his coach.

He was a pro player?

Yes, but that was several years ago.

At which contest did he make his debut?

What's his best achievement?

Champion. He won on his debut.

Your cousin is his peer.

Why don't you ask your cousin?

Ask my cousin?

He was just a teenager back then.

He wouldn't remember it.

Which club is he with?

I haven't heard of him.

Is he still playing?

He quit a dozen years ago.

He was from Dongxin City.

We have a new coach from that club.

Wait. Let me ask him.

Mr. Xu.

Do you know Lin Yiyang?

He's from Dongxin City.

That's it. Clean up.

Of course I know him.

Do you know He Wenfeng, Mr. He?

Of course.

But I bet you don't know

that Lin Yiyang

was Mr. He's favorite disciple.

Lin Yiyang is a genius indeed,

but he's also wild.

It's like

nobody can contain him.

Back then, he was so undisciplined.

Mr. He was so mad at him.

In the end, he got kicked out.

But then, Jiang Yang and the others

are really close to him.

Before Mr. He retired,

nobody dared to bring up

his name in Dongxin City.

After Mr. He retired,

Jiang Yang took over.

Who's Jiang Yang?

Lin Yiyang's senior.

Therefore, no one dares

to say anything bad

about Lin Yiyang in the club.

That means

he's a junior of Jiang Yang.

-Yes.

-That's right.

Jiang Yang and the others

call him the Sixth.

It's because

he was Mr. He's sixth disciple.

You're so curious about him.

I can ask Jiang Yang about him.

No need.

You don't have to.

My cousin hates Jiang Yang.

I don't want to get scolded.

Also, don't tell my cousin

that I've asked about them.

Your cousin is coming soon.

Please don't mention me.

That's it. I have training to do.

See you, Coach.

What a kid.

That kid was such a genius.

What a pity.

You're a bit late today.

There was a meeting.

-See you.

-See you.

Off work.

Have you fixed the schedule?

Yes, we're all flying next Wednesday.

The passports are ready. Rest assured.

Change the schedule.

Visit Yin Guo first for the 9-ball.

The 9-ball?

But it has nothing to do with us.

I'm meeting someone.

Don't you want to meet Yin Guo?

I don't want to disrupt her training.

Rest assured.

You're not important enough

to be able to disrupt her.

What do you feel about Yin Guo?

No idea.

No idea?

Haven't you figured out

whether you like her or not?

I like her.

Just say it then.

I don't think Yin Guo is so insensitive.

She knows about it.

She didn't say anything

because she didn't like me.

Why would I say it out loud

and make her awkward?

She may know about it,

but you still have to tell her.

If she turns you down,

you can focus on your career.

LIN YIYANG

You used to…

MOMENTS

PHOTOS AND VIDEOS

LOCATION, MENTION SOMEONE

I forgot to ask which year it was.

I don't get it.

Is this the liquor you had this afternoon?

I don't know which year it's from.

The year you were born.

I mean the liquor.

You've been biting on this cup

for more than ten minutes.

Are you trying to eat it?

Sun Zhou.

Am I

a boring person?

No.

Why?

Someone told me these days

that when I'm with her,

all we do is eat.

There's no other activity.

Maybe it's because I was poor as a kid.

So poor

that I had no zest for life

and even now,

I feel that being able

to be fed in various ways

is the happiest thing in the world.

Who is it?

May I ask

who managed to--

No.

Fine.

Didn't you just use me as a tree hole?

A tree hole makes echoes, okay?

You're so busy this semester,

but you keep traveling.

Can you manage it?

I got this.

Come on, look at you.

You'll get sick if this goes on.

I won't.

I won't be coming next week.

I have a ton of things to do.

I'm definitely not coming.

Definitely?

For sure.

I think someone said that last week.

We came back this week,

so I'm totally swamped next week.

I can't spare even a second.

I'll believe you one more time.

2 MESSAGES, LOCATION

Have you tried this restaurant?

No. Are you interested?

Let me take you there next time.

My best friend loves pasta.

She has tried many places

and said they had the best lobster pasta.

Don't turn me down or offer to pay.

Friends treat each other in turns.

Let me take you there next time.

My best friend loves pasta.

Don't turn me down or offer to pay.

Friends treat each other in turns.

Isn't that Jiang Yang,

my cousin's archenemy?

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, everyone.

Isn't he a snooker player?

Why did he come for 9-ball?

I'd better stay in the room

until they leave.

Otherwise, it's too awkward.

Who is she?

Meng Xiaodong's little cousin.

Meng Xiaodong?

Explain it.

What's going on? You're living together?

It has nothing to do with me.

She's with our guy.

Who?

Lin Yiyang.

Is it going to work?

Are you serious? Of course.

Our guy never chickens out.

That junior of mine

has such a taste.

They must be gone.

You woke up?

I didn't sleep.

I thought he wasn't coming back this week.

I'll take a shower.

Lin Yiyang came back

and told us to stay quiet

so that you could sleep.

An'an.

Check where the takeout is.

What takeout?

I told you to get takeout.

Didn't you hear me?

Did you?

Never mind.

Get something. I'm hungry.

Fan.

Do it.

All right.

How do I do that?

Look online.

She's awake.

Feel free to make noises.

We can talk now.

Come on.

Do you want some?

No, thank you.

My stomach can't handle cold things.

So fast?

Did you just dip yourself in the water?

Mind your own business.

Do you want something to eat?

I had food.

What are you doing?

Having an ice cream.

See you in the laundry room.

Okay.

I happen to have clothes to wash.

You go first. I'll be there.

Where are you going?

Out.

Out where?

Lin Yiyang.

I saw her in the Youth Competition

a few years ago.

Do you know who her cousin is?

You guys.

Show some respect in front of the kids.

Fan.

You have potential.

Thank you.
