Protagonist:

Jiang Wenyu

A few days later, this matter seemed to have passed just like that, but Jiang Wenyu's skill was instead continuously magnified in Chema City; Wang Tao's earlier spiel had inadvertently served as publicity for Jiang Wenyu, with the result that more and more people came looking for them these past few days, and his business was booming nonstop every day.

And Wang Tao naturally would not easily let go of this fat piece of meat; with a venue as huge and excellent as the Mall, as long as he found a good method, he would surely be able to skim off even more profit.

Unable to rope in Jiang Wenyu, Wang Tao still had his own methods.

Early this morning, Wang Tao sat in the Office and asked with focused attention: "How is it? Has the person been found?"

The man before him was one of his subordinates; he answered seriously: "Found him. Found him a few days ago. By now he should have already arrived in Chema City. Want me to go pick him up?"

Wang Tao nodded: "Go. Don't neglect him."

After the man left, Wang Tao muttered to himself: "Hmph, I refuse to believe there isn't anyone in this world who understands repair better than Jiang Wenyu!"

……

Today was a bit special. When Jiang Wenyu rode his bike out the door, the weather was slightly overcast; just as he was about to mount the bike, soft white feathers drifted down from the sky.

Piece by piece, within these few short minutes the sky was covered in a blanket of white, and the temperature dropped considerably as a result.

"It's snowing…"

Only then did Jiang Wenyu notice white puffs of breath leaving his mouth as he breathed; the temperature had also dropped quite a bit.

Gazing at that vast white horizon, watching those soft-falling snowflakes — autumn had ended, winter had arrived.

"Wow, it's snowing!"

Xiao Nuannuan ran out happily from inside the house, but was immediately scooped back up by Chen Lan who had run out after her, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

"What are you running around for? Wait for Mom to put a coat on you!"

Judging by Chen Lan's expression, she too seemed quite happy; the first snow of every year always makes one involuntarily exclaim in wonder, and one's state of mind undergoes a subtle shift because of it.

After Nuannuan put on thick clothes, the three of them walked out onto the street together, parting ways at the intersection.

Jiang Wenyu wasn't wearing all that much today; the scarf around his neck was already warm enough. The temperature wasn't actually very low, so when the snowflakes hit the ground many melted instantly, making the roads a bit damp; if you didn't walk close to the side, your shoes might even sink in.

There weren't many people out at this hour, but as Jiang Wenyu walked forward he spotted a young man dressed somewhat differently.

A full-length black coat made from some unknown animal fur — clearly not something an ordinary person could afford. The young man walked with his head tilted back watching the snow, as if he rarely saw such a sight.

But this caused him to suddenly step into the mud as he walked; fortunately he was wearing leather shoes that looked very much like boots.

He struggled to pull his foot free and just happened to spot Jiang Wenyu. The latter snapped back to attention and passed by him without hesitation, but the other man suddenly called out to stop him.

"Big Brother, let me ask you something."

The young man's voice was proper and upright; one listen told you he had received a good education. Jiang Wenyu turned at the sound and smiled politely: "What is it?"

He walked up closer and said: "Is there a Mall or something like that around here?"

Jiang Wenyu nodded: "There's one."

The young man spoke again: "Then can you take me there? I just arrived and don't know which way these roads go."

Jiang Wenyu smiled and nodded: "No problem. Just follow me. I happen to be going to the Mall too."

"Good. Thanks, Big Brother."

The young man followed behind Jiang Wenyu just like that, but as they walked a sudden "puff" sound came from behind. He looked back and saw one of the young man's feet had sunk into the mud again.

Jiang Wenyu couldn't help a wry smile. This guy was clearly a big-city kid who had never been to a place like this. He hurriedly said: "Walk with me along the Drainage Ditch. It's at least cleaner there."

The young man immediately nodded upon hearing this, but along this whole walk his originally expensive-looking clothes and pants had already picked up quite a few mud splatters, yet he didn't seem to mind much.
