ADAPTED FROM DURING THE SNOWSTORM
BY MOBAO FEIBAO
1 HOUR 18 MINUTES
I'm calculating
when to get you a cab.
I can get a cab myself.
What's wrong?
I think
you'd look good
with a beard.
What are you doing? It's a public place.
Sit still.
Sit still.
Sit tight.
By the way,
will you come to see my game?
I'll see
if I can make it.
Right.
You're too busy.
What are you reading?
What's your zodiac sign?
I don't even know your birthday.
February 12th.
Aquarius.
February 12th.
We met before your birthday.
What was I doing that day?
Did we chat?
No.
Actually, before meeting,
we never chatted via WeChat.
We met before that?
Come on.
The day we ate ramen?
Why didn't you tell me?
Didn't I buy you ramen?
Well…
So
did you ask Meng Xiaotian
and me out for coffee
because of your birthday?
It was a coincidence.
Why didn't you tell me?
On the way home that day,
you introduced yourself.
You told me your name.
We just met that day.
If I had told you about it,
you would have felt awkward.
I missed your birthday.
Not really.
Didn't we celebrate it together?
It's not the same.
I didn't know it was your birthday.
Are you leaving?
All right.
Let me know when you arrive.
I'm off.
Well…
I…
You always dodge me.
We've kissed before.
CENTRAL RAILWAY STATION
-That cab?
-Right, 720.
I'm leaving.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Otherwise, I'll worry about you.
Okay, got it.
Go ahead.
Wait.
Lin Yiyang.
Bye.
Bye.
Did you walk here from the train station?
Are you taking the bus to save money?
I'm saving as much as I can.
You've been traveling a lot lately.
Have you been busy?
Or are you in love?
Finally.
Someone won you over.
Is your girlfriend studying here?
She's here for training and competition.
A competition?
So she will leave?
Will she return home?
Yes.
A long-distance relationship is tough.
The distance is too far.
How come you're here?
I just got back.
I'll stay here tonight.
I have to celebrate my anniversary
with my wife.
So I can't be here with you.
I know.
You've told me.
Have I?
I have to go.
Go ahead. Leave the rest to me.
Thank you.
Here's the key.
There's a vegetable salad in the fridge.
As well as bread and apples.
If you get hungry, just eat them.
Got it. My throat hurts.
Enough talking. You can go.
Weren't you better?
You could talk the other day.
I'm tired.
Tired?
Looks like you had a good time
with Yin Guo, right?
All right.
I wanted to talk about work
with you today.
Never mind. Maybe another day.
Off you go.
I'm leaving.
Right.
One more thing.
You don't need to reply to this.
They've already gone
to Hursin University today.
They want to get familiar
with the environment
before the competition.
Everyone knows
you never watch live games.
So they didn't tell you
and asked me to pass the message.
Go home.
I'm off.
Call me if there is anything else.
I'm off!
Training is over.
I found
watching your drill helpful.
I'm reviewing the information
on local players.
I understand their thinking better.
I'm glad to hear that.
Mr. Lin.
How come you become so different
when chatting via WeChat?
Really?
Yes.
If I show our texts to others,
they will think that I'm pursuing you.
Is that so?
Are you busy?
You're typing so little.
I'm in the billiard room alone.
I'm in my room alone.
Should we video call?
Okay.
Can you see me?
Hello? Can you hear me?
Hello?
Is the signal bad?
POOR CONNECTION
I can hear you. Can you hear me?
Hello?
SETTINGS
Is it better now?
What are you doing?
What's going on?
Your billiard room has bad signal.
Don't the customers complain?
Usually, people don't dare to
because the boss has a bad temper.
Why are you still in the billiard room?
Are you going home late?
I'll stay here tonight.
Are you not going back?
Are you going to sleep there?
Is there a bed?
Yes.
Actually,
I feel sorry for you.
You sent me off and then went back.
Do you feel sorry for me
or do you miss me?
Both.
Can you take a photo of your drawing?
I want to use it as a screensaver.
Right.
My game schedule has been released.
I'll send it to you later
and see if you can make time for it.
Actually, I've been thinking.
I think you might not make it
for the group matches,
but…
Hopefully, I can make it
to the quarterfinal.
It's on Saturday in two more weeks.
You should be free on Saturday, right?
Hello?
You're back.
Why did you come back early?
The pre-match training hasn't started yet.
He asked me to come back early
for the training.
Look at you.
I feel sorry for Li Qingyan.
He broke up right before the game.
I have nothing to do with Li Qingyan.
Right, that's true.
He wants to have a thing with you.
Well, he failed, right?
I heard the coaches praising
your boyfriend.
So is he coming to your competition?
This is your first professional game.
It's of great significance.
I'm not sure.
He probably can't make it.
He's too busy
during the graduation season.
Okay.
I'll go take a shower.
Yiyang, swallow your pride.
Just apologize.
I'm begging you.
You can go.
You leave the group.
No matter where you go,
I will not stop you.
From now on,
I have nothing to do with you anymore.
Yiyang, apologize.
Stop being stubborn.
Yiyang, apologize.
-Go!
-Don't make our coach angry.
-Yiyang.
-Yiyang.
-Yiyang.
-Yiyang.
Let him go!
FIGH
Lin Yiyang.
Lin Yiyang.
Who doesn't make mistakes?
Can't you apologize?
Lin Yiyang.
You don't listen to me anymore, do you?
I'm practicing.
Why do you suddenly want to practice?
Trying out the new cue.
Your cues are good.
I can tell the owner knows his stuff.
Yin Guo.
If I were to make a mistake,
would you give me a chance
to correct it?
Not about cheating.
Okay.
Three times.
Even ten times is fine.
Just kidding.
I have a good temper.
You can buy something tasty to appease me.
Then I'll forgive you very soon.
Is that alimited edition?
You look so happy.
That's right.
Can you still laugh?
You've entered a tough group.
The group has seven tough players.
They're among the highest-ranked players
in the world.
It gives me the chills.
It's okay.
Either way,
I have to face them eventually.
You have a good mind.
If the goal is the championship,
does it matter who I meet
in the group matches?
Well said.
Cool.
I want to practice.
Okay.
Be careful.
I just saw the team doctor today.
He said I couldn't practice tonight.
Or I have no energy for formal training.
All right, I got it.
Okay.
-I'm off.
-Take care.
Bye.
I heard you are in a tough group.
Are you feeling nervous?
Not really.
I hear you're familiar with Lin Yiyang.
That's right.
How is he doing?
Pretty good.
He graduated with his master's this year
and got admission to a PhD program.
Good news.
I bumped into Chengyan
in the billiard room.
She asked me about you.
What will he reply?
Are you practicing now?
I have nothing else to do anyway.
Don't overdo the training.
Just for half an hour.
Not much.
You and her…
They must have known each other.
Hey.
You finally talked to me.
Go to the billiard room downstairs
and look for Yin Guo.
Isn't it too late?
It's not proper for me
to look for your girlfriend, is it?
Chengyan is there.
I'm afraid Yin Guo might overthink.
No…
How did this happen?
Listen, I'm not going for your sake.
I'm going there for Yin Guo.
What happened?
We've arrived at the hotel, Yiyang.
We just checked in.
Get a good rest.
Tomorrow,
go practice at the billiard room.
Don't slack off before the competition.
All right.
Get to the point.
Yiyang.
Is it expensive
to rent the billiard room?
How about we split the cost evenly?
No need.
I've settled the payment.
No, let's split the cost.
Don't worry about money.
Just focus on the competition.
I'm going to sleep. I have to go.
See, I told you.
When has Yiyang ever let us pay?
It's because you're incapable of speaking.
What about you?
Forget it.
You guys know that about him.
I'm quite emotional about this visit.
When I came
to Hursin University years ago,
-At that time--
-Mr. Qian, please don't reminisce.
Let's go up and rest.
Can't I just reminisce about my youth?
She used to pursue me.
I see.
Yin Guo.
Yes?
The first time I saw you,
I wanted to get to know you.
The first time?
The first time meeting?
What is he talking about?
In the bar,
by the window,
I wanted to get to know you
at first sight.
It has never happened before.
I wanted to talk to you more
at the Red Fish Bar.
But I didn't know
how to start a conversation with girls.
I had to buy you a drink.
You're here.
I'm about to leave. Why did you come?
I couldn't sleep
so I came down to have a look.
Yin Guo is also here.
Let me introduce her.
This is Yin Guo,
Yiyang's girlfriend.
I see.
Nice to meet you, Ms. Lin.
I'm younger than you.
Just call me Yin Guo.
"Yin Guo."
Sounds nice. Well, I have to go.
-Okay.
-Bye.
Bye.
What a small world, right?
Among the many players
from Dongxin City that came,
you happened to run into Chengyan.
It's not surprising.
We'll meet at the competition anyway.
Yes.
I'll give you a heads-up.
Lin Yiyang is handsome.
Many girls from Dongxin City
pursued him.
Listen to me.
It's no big deal.
It doesn't matter
if they still think about him.
You must be proud.
You're the only one who won him over.
And he pursued you.
He liked you at first sight.
Are you happy now?
Let's go eat fried chicken.
I walked around last night.
I found a good restaurant.
I'm on a diet.
Come on.
I was asked to get down
right after a bath.
I have to have a big meal
to make myself happy.
You know what?
Back in high school,
a girl confessed her love to him.
On the stage at a gathering,
a beam of light came down.
The girl stood in the middle and said,
"Lin Yiyang, I love you."
All my classmates stood up.
I'm telling you. That's not all.
He received love letters,
paper cranes, and stars.
The girls were
from my school or sports team.
And his competitors.
You don't know how much I envied him.
Among those people,
Chengyan pursued him violently.
Initially, Meng Xiaodong wanted
to poach her.
But she refused.
I believe she stays in Dongxin City now
because of Lin Yiyang.
Xiaodong never mentioned this.
She's older than you.
You were little when she became famous.
She's the same generation
as Xiaodong and Yiyang.
It's not surprising.
What's wrong?
You…
Are you here to help
or to make things worse?
Your girlfriend is happy now. Don't worry.
DAY ONE OF THE COMPETITION
How come you didn't tell me earlier?
I had to grab you some food from others.
Enjoy it.
It's his first time joining a big game.
His mindset isn't stable.
Mr. Qian is usually better.
I just watched the match.
Yin Guo won consecutive games.
Didn't you call to congratulate her?
No.
Unbelievable.
DAY THREE OF THE COMPETITION
Congratulations, Yin Guo.
Congratulations.
Yin Guo.
Hao.
Yin Guo, you're amazing.
What about you? What's your ranking?
I almost made it to the top 16.
I'm far behind you.
I was nervous during the match.
Don't worry.
It's normal in your first game.
I'm going to eat something.
All right, go ahead.
Seriously. That was quite funny.
What happened after that?
I didn't see that coming.
Sit and take a break.
Have something to eat.
Try this. This is tasty.
This is also good.
My phone is out of power.
I'll eat over there.
Go ahead.
-Yiyang.
-Yiyang.
-Yiyang.
-Yiyang.
Yiyang.
You're back.
I'm back.
-Yiyang.
-Yiyang.
-Yiyang.
-Yiyang.
He is Lin Yiyang,
Jiang Yang's junior.
Yiyang.
Excuse me.
Surprisingly…
he overcame his pride
and came back to watch the game.
Xiaodong.
It seems like I'm eager to win
and make it to the finals.
I hope…
he will see my game.
What did you just call me?
Xiaodong?
You often call Meng Xiaodong by name.
Can't you do the same to me?
What are you listening to?
Didn't you say…
you might not come?
Why did you suddenly show up?
You didn't tell me in advance.
You just scared me.
You almost gave me a heart attack.
Aren't you expecting me?
You know the answer.
