ADAPTED FROM DURING THE SNOWSTORM

BY MOBAO FEIBAO

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.

Don't you have an umbrella?

You're fully soaked.

You keep coming here.

Will you be able to graduate?

Do you not want me

if I can't graduate?

Our guy is so cheesy in a relationship.

What a surprise, right?

He's doomed.

The girl from Bei City has tamed him.

I’m speechless.

I want you

even if you can't graduate.

Please don't start kissing.

Otherwise, rumors may start spreading

about the girl.

Rest assured.

Yiyang wouldn't do that.

He's in awe of this place.

That's true.

I'll wait for you out there.

It's going to be an awesome game.

I remember that Hinia

was the champion of the Singapore Open.

Yes, she ranks third in the world.

How long haven't you been to a game?

For 11 years.

It's surreal.

I never thought

that I'd be in the audience seat.

You don't have to do that.

Honestly,

even if you wanted me to consolidate you,

I wouldn't know what to say.

I've aged

and I have a stent here.

I've seen a lot.

I think

you've been avoiding this

because you're still troubled.

That's the only reason.

She's going to sit for quite a while.

Here's her chance.

Yin Guo, here's your chance.

Yin Guo can handle pressure.

It is just the beginning.

She's so fast and precise.

Why are you playing so fast?

Are you scared of losing?

Throughout the years away from the game,

there are no points or rules.

I learned to truly enjoy billiards.

I play fast…

because I'm happy…

and I enjoy it.

Yin Guo.

Enjoy it. It's your career

for the next few decades.

Seven rounds in a row with zero mistakes.

Yin Guo is stunningly steady.

LIVE

LIVE

It requires a jump shot.

Coach.

We'll be outside.

Please hold this for me.

Go ahead.

Give me your hand.

Come on, that's it.

-Let's talk later.

-Wait.

Just one word.

I won today

and I'm dedicating this game to you.

My Queen.

Lin Yiyang.

Although

you've gotten here

many years earlier than me,

but from now on,

I'll share all my glory with you.

You'll enjoy the applause

just like I do.

The winner becomes the King.

I'm the King today.

So you're the Queen.

Why aren't you smiling?

When I won the championship,

you were in primary school.

Show some respect.

But from now on,

I'll share all my glory with you.

You'll enjoy the applause

just like I do.

The winner becomes the King.

I'm the King today.

So you're the Queen.

You have games to play here.

-Wen Xiao.

-I am coming.

Where are they?

Got it.

Let's go.

The 9-ball is a warm-up game.

Just a second.

Do you want to hang out?

Of course.

Snooker players like us

rarely gather for the 9-ball.

Let's hang out.

How?

I'll get a hotel suite

and some drinks.

It's cozy to stay in and drink.

It can be pricey. Let's split the bill.

I'll get our drinks.

Tell Wu Wei what you'd like.

We know the place better than you.

I was broke

and never had a chance to get you drinks.

I may not be so well off now,

but I can afford to be a host once.

Send me the room details.

Don't book it too early.

I'll celebrate with her first.

Let's go.

-Come.

-Let's go.

Let's go.

Are you going back to the hotel?

But…

I have a roommate.

I know.

Did you get a room here?

Yes.

The apartment is too far away.

I have to stay here

for the final round.

How do you know

I can make it to the final round?

We're almost there.

Let's get in first.

Why did you go for the bottom pocket

when it's cooler to go

for the middle pocket?

I…

I'm better with the thin cut.

Are you upset?

I'm leaving soon.

When?

Thursday.

I have a competition in Hangzhou

at the end of April.

You haven't even finished this game,

yet you already can't stand it?

Come on.

Let see.

It's Saturday.

Thursday

is just around the corner indeed.

So hug me now.

Hug me as much as you can.

LI QINGYAN INCOMING CALL

LI QINGYAN

-Hello.

-I couldn't talk to you back there.

Congratulations.

You won again.

Thank you.

Yin Guo.

I wanted to talk to you

once my world ranking improves

after the Ireland Open.

It's a bit complicated.

After we go back--

Wait, you…

What?

It's business.

Lin Yiyang is here.

He wants a word with you.

Okay.

LI QINGYAN, SPEAKER

Hello.

I don't have Meng Xiaodong's number.

So I'm using Yin Guo's.

-Did you get the drinks?

-Yes.

Which room?

What time?

At 8 p.m.

Room 677.

All right.

Go ahead.

If you have nothing else to say,

I'll hang up first.

Shall we get up there?

Go ahead.

I want to go for a walk.

I'll be practicing.

The pizza is amazing.

I'll be out for a while.

Where are you going?

Your brother and Jiang Yang

booked a room to hang out.

Okay.

I may be late.

We'll be drinking.

Okay.

I'll wait for you here.

I'm a bit tired. I'll take a nap.

Okay.

See you later.

Everybody is here.

Let's play later.

No problem.

-Yiyang.

-Yiyang.

Yiyang.

You're here.

You're late. Drink up to apologize.

Sit down.

You're the guest here.

I'll take a sip.

Come on, guys.

Go ahead. Let me take a break.

SWEDISH THEATER

-Xiaodong.

-Okay.

-Where?

-No, here.

Meng Xiaodong.

I'm okay.

Yiyang,

if there is anything

you want to know, ask away.

He's going to pass out soon.

Are you going to ask me

about my sister's relationship

with her childhood friend,

Li Qingyan?

I never asked her.

But her parents kind of like him.

They must have broken up

even if they were once together.

But someone from her family

was a referee in that game

and knew about your past.

You know which game I'm talking about.

My last game.

Are you never going to play again?

I quit a long time ago.

Lin Yiyang, look at me.

You still have a chance

to start over.

Fan.

Get Xiaodong some water.

Come on.

Are you wasted after a few bottles?

Xiaodong, you're so…

I'm exhausted.

What's wrong?

Why are you all so silent?

Are there any tables available?

I rented half of the billiard room.

Go ahead.

I'll get them to clear up the table.

I invited your guy to play.

The Ireland Open is coming.

Don't be too harsh.

I know.

Keep an eye on Xiaodong.

-Let them be. Go on.

-Right.

-Yes, cheers.

-Come…

Cheers.

This is how we played

when we were kids.

Got it?

Yes.

There are no rules. Just pocket the ba*ls.

Whoever pockets the last ball wins.

Whoever loses…

will put the ba*ls in place,

okay?

No problem.

I'll be bragging about it for years

after you place the ba*ls for me.

You're in a good mood.

You lost your chance.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I lost.

A word of advice.

I've seen you play.

You follow Meng Xiaodong's style

and train yourself

to play every 25 seconds.

Am I right?

That's the tournament rule.

Don't let it confine you.

Waiting for 25 seconds every time

may only work for Meng Xiaodong.

It doesn't work for you.

Remember.

Don't waste your talent.

You're a contestant,

not a robot.

Another thing.

I don't care how close you were

or if you're still pursuing her.

This is it for you.

Yin Guo is mine.

Do you hear me?

Lin Yiyang.

SNOOKER TRYOUTS

That wasn't a foul.

Mind your attitude

or you'll be disqualified.

I can finish the game.

But again, I didn't break the rule!

Lin Yiyang, apologize to the referee.

Winning the last game

doesn't mean

you can disrespect the referee.

You'll be forbidden to play like this.

No need.

I'll retire now.

Hello.

Come on. Where are you, man?

Is there any…

fine pastry shop…

open…

at this hour?

Yin Guo won the game today.

I want to get something

for the celebration.

Come on, it's so late.

Everybody is closed.

Is there any?

Come on.

Fine.

Go to the Central Plaza.

Head down the stairs

and there's a pastry shop.

Got it.

Thank you.

Are you still drinking?

He's not back yet.

The two clubs are gathering.

And it has been so many years.

How drunk are they going to be?

Xiaodong, are you done drinking?

How is it going?

Both Xiaodong and Yiyang

are not replying to my messages.

Come over to room 677.
