Amidst a Snowstorm of Love – Leo Wu, Zhao Jinmai

The biting cold wind blew, Lin Yiyang wrapped himself tightly as he walked down the street. Suddenly, a few tourists recognized Lin Yiyang, who was heavily bundled up, but not entirely certain. Lin Yiyang denied his identity and walked away. Just as he was about to leave, he overheard them mentioning taking the subway. However, due to the city-wide blizzard, the subway had already ceased operation. Lin Yiyang had to turn back and advise the tourists to quickly find a place to stay, or they wouldn't even have a place to stay later.

Yin Guo, accompanied by her younger brother Meng Xiaotian, walked through the blizzard anxiously, urging her brother to keep up. They arrived at a bar where Yin Guo began trying to book a hotel everywhere. However, due to the city-wide blizzard, almost all hotels were fully booked, with no available rooms. With no other choice, Yin Guo had to call her friend Zheng Yi for help.

Lin Yiyang arrived at the bar to meet with friends and happened to see Yin Guo making a phone call by the window, immediately captivated by her. When he entered the bar, he coincidentally saw his friend acquainted with Yin Guo.

When Yin Guo returned, Lin Yiyang and his friend had already left. Exhausted, Yin Guo asked her brother to watch the phone and decided to take a nap. In her sleep, Meng Xiaotian woke her up. When Yin Guo woke up, she found a cocktail on the table, with Lin Yiyang sitting beside her. Seeing Lin Yiyang's attentive expression, Yin Guo became afraid that he might be a bad person and remained somewhat reserved.

Finally, Yin Guo received a call from her friend Zheng Yi, who helped her find a hotel, albeit in the outskirts. Meng Xiaotian and Lin Yiyang's friend went to pack their things, leaving only Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo. However, Yin Guo kept a wary eye on Lin Yiyang, who sensed her apprehension. He revealed his identity and showed her his student ID, although seeing the resemblance in the photo on the card to Lin Yiyang, Yin Guo still couldn't entirely let go of her guard.

Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo took the same taxi. Lin Yiyang specifically instructed the taxi driver to take Yin Guo and her brother to the hotel. After hearing this, Meng Xiaotian thought highly of Lin Yiyang. Upon arriving at the hotel, Meng Xiaotian went inside to check while Lin Yiyang watched outside, reminding Yin Guo to be careful with her belongings.

After returning to the dormitory, Lin Yiyang found himself locked out because he forgot his keys. He tried calling his friend Wu Wei, but his phone was switched off. Lin Yiyang could only stay overnight at a familiar shop.

The next day, Yin Guo and her brother had a meal. Meng Xiaotian suggested Yin Guo thank Lin Yiyang and gave her Lin Yiyang's WeChat. However, Yin Guo hesitated on how to add Meng Xiaotian on WeChat. At this moment, Yin Guo's phone was snatched, and Lin Yiyang was added actively. Yin Guo invited Lin Yiyang to dinner under the pretext of expressing gratitude. Upon seeing Yin Guo's message, Lin Yiyang felt very happy, although he still teased her. Yin Guo made up an excuse and eagerly wanted to meet Lin Yiyang immediately. However, Lin Yiyang had to cancel the dinner invitation as he had to return to school. Upon learning this, Meng Xiaotian wanted to go to the school to find Lin Yiyang, but Yin Guo thought it was inappropriate and refused Meng Xiaotian's request, even though she agreed verbally, she secretly messaged Lin Yiyang.

Yin Guo took Meng Xiaotian to buy daily necessities, and Meng Xiaotian secretly booked tickets to Lin Yiyang's school. He took Yin Guo with him, and Yin Guo could only reluctantly agree. Lin Yiyang also saw a photo of Yin Guo playing billiards, which piqued his interest in her.

When Yin Guo and her brother arrived in the city where Lin Yiyang's school was located and tried to contact him, they found out that Lin Yiyang had unexpectedly returned to the city where they originally were.

Since Lin Yiyang didn't return to the city where the school was located, he missed Yin Guo and her brother. So, he had a classmate take Meng Xiaotian on a tour of the school. Yin Guo felt that Lin Yiyang was very kind, and she felt a bit guilty, so she sent him a message expressing gratitude and also developed a favorable impression of him.

As Yin Guo had been busy with training and couldn't accompany Meng Xiaotian, he deliberately complained, asking Yin Guo to go out for dinner with him. Originally, Yin Guo wanted to spend quality time with her brother that day, and Meng Xiaotian had already booked a restaurant in advance. Yin Guo immediately recognized it was near the bar they had visited on the night of the blizzard. When they arrived at the restaurant, Meng Xiaotian revealed that Lin Yiyang had already reserved a table inside. Since Yin Guo was unfamiliar with the environment, she asked Lin Yiyang to order for her. While they were dining, Yin Guo's friend wanted her to buy coffee beans. Yin Guo intended to ask Lin Yiyang for the location of the shop, but since it was hard to find, Lin Yiyang offered to take her there himself.

At the coffee bean shop, Meng Xiaotian became curious about the surroundings and went out to play, actually intending to give Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo some private space. Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo went into the coffee shop together. Following her friend's instructions, Yin Guo went to find the items she needed, but Lin Yiyang had to leave due to an urgent matter. After purchasing the items, Meng Xiaotian returned to Yin Guo. When it was time to pay, Yin Guo habitually took out her WeChat QR code, intending to let the other person scan it, but because they were abroad, this feature was unavailable, so Yin Guo had to pay with cash.

Yin Guo went to meet her friend Su Wei, and Meng Xiaotian had his own matters to attend to. When they parted ways, Yin Guo reminded her brother to stay safe. Yin Guo's friend was also a billiards player. Su Wei introduced her friend Berry to Yin Guo. Upon hearing that Berry worked as a manager at a billiards shop and played snooker, Yin Guo became interested. Since Yin Guo's brother, Meng Xiaodong, also played snooker, Su Wei blamed Yin Guo for hiding this fact from her, as Meng Xiaodong was quite famous in the industry. Coincidentally, there was a billiards competition that day, so Berry suggested that Yin Guo watch it with him.

Lin Yiyang also came to participate in the snooker competition with his friends. After Yin Guo and her friend arrived, they found out that Lin Yiyang was participating in the competition. When the two met, they were stunned. At this moment, Yin Guo seemed to recognize Lin Yiyang as the famous genius billiards player.

Berry served as the referee, and Lin Yiyang's performance on the table shocked everyone, as he cleared the table with a single shot. Everyone was impressed by Lin Yiyang's skills during the following matches. After the competition ended, Lin Yiyang greeted Yin Guo proactively. Su Wei, the friend, also recognized one or two people, so after saying hello, Su Wei took Yin Guo away to play billiards, leaving only Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo. Berry mistakenly thought that both Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo were interested in each other, so he asked Su Wei to leave.

Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo felt awkward and didn't know what to say. At this moment, Su Wei decided to leave first to facilitate their interaction, leaving them some private space. Lin Yiyang offered to escort Yin Guo back to her place, which made Yin Guo very happy but also guilty. On the way back, neither of them knew what to say to ease the awkwardness. Yin Guo kept looking for topics, and Lin Yiyang finally mentioned that he was here this time to participate in the Nine-Ball Open Championship. Feeling very hungry, Yin Guo asked her brother to buy pizza for her. Lin Yiyang saw the message and proactively invited Yin Guo to dinner.

Lin Yiyang asked his friend to reserve a spot for him. Since Lin Yiyang's friend, Wu Wei, was also participating in the Nine-Ball Open Championship, Wu Wei and Yin Guo found a common topic. Because Yin Guo would be living abroad for three months, Lin Yiyang's friend suggested that Yin Guo move into the house he was renting. They even added each other on WeChat, which made Lin Yiyang feel a bit jealous. After dinner, Lin Yiyang escorted Yin Guo back. They saw a foreign couple kissing on the street, which made the atmosphere awkward. Yin Guo quickly changed the subject to divert attention. Lin Yiyang, to avoid making Yin Guo uncomfortable, went along with her. Along the way, Lin Yiyang's thoughtfulness made Yin Guo feel very warm and comfortable. Wu Wei intentionally sent a message suggesting that Lin Yiyang had someone in his heart, which made Yin Guo a bit nervous when she saw it. However, when she tried to take a closer look, she deleted the message. This incident kept bothering Yin Guo.

Yin Guo was discussing with her brother whether to stay in a hotel or rent a house. Because renting a house was cheaper, Yin Guo planned to rent one. After Lin Yiyang returned to his dormitory to do laundry, he sent a message to Yin Guo during his free time. Yin Guo was very happy to see Lin Yiyang's message and started chatting with him.

When Meng Xiaotian saw Yin Guo texting, he asked her who she was talking to. Yin Guo lied, saying she was talking to her coach. Since Meng Xiaotian also agreed with Yin Guo's idea of renting a house, Yin Guo planned to contact Wu Wei and even asked about whether Lin Yiyang had any romantic interests. Because Meng Xiaotian had more contact with Lin Yiyang and knew about Lin Yiyang and Wu Wei, both of whom were single, he wondered what type of woman Lin Yiyang liked and even kept observing Yin Guo, which made her a bit nervous.

Early the next morning, when Lin Yiyang came out of his bedroom, he saw his senior brother Jiang Yang with his disciples coming to participate in the competition. However, Lin Yiyang's expression was cold upon seeing his friend, and he avoided interacting with them, using having a meal as an excuse to leave. Because he was in a bad mood, Lin Yiyang went to a familiar Chinese restaurant and didn't want to eat, only wanting to drink beer. When the owner, seeing Lin Yiyang, welcomed him and even asked about the relationship between Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo.

The owner also noticed that both of them had feelings for each other and encouraged Lin Yiyang to speak out his mind. As a result of the owner's persuasion, Lin Yiyang's mood improved, and he decided to eat a bowl of noodles instead of just drinking beer alone.

Yin Guo played billiards with her friend Su Wei, but she kept playing poorly because her mind was elsewhere. The child knew it was because of Lin Yiyang and deliberately teased Yin Guo. While resting, Yin Guo kept thinking about the scene when she and Lin Yiyang met in the billiard hall. She even took the initiative to pick up her phone and check Lin Yiyang's WeChat Moments to see if he really had a partner. However, she found out that Lin Yiyang hadn't posted a single Moment, so she could only send Lin Yiyang an emoji message.

Jiang Yang, Lin Yiyang's senior brother, came out to find Lin Yiyang and invited him to play a game together. Jiang Yang's disciples also asked Wu Wei about the grievances between Lin Yiyang and Jiang Yang and learned that Lin Yiyang had won championships at a very young age, which earned him their admiration. Lin Yiyang then went to the billiard hall with Jiang Yang to play. However, Jiang Yang's mind was not on playing billiards but on the person Lin Yiyang had in mind, so he started inquiring about who Lin Yiyang was thinking about.

After returning to Wu Wei's rented house, Lin Yiyang took the initiative to ask the landlord's opinion and even walked to the room where Yin Guo would be staying. He personally arranged the room for Yin Guo, moving many of Wu Wei's belongings into her room. Wu Wei invited Yin Guo and Meng Xiaotian to the Chinese restaurant they had been to before. Since the owner was familiar with Lin Yiyang, he offered them some complimentary food. Yin Guo realized Lin Yiyang was well-acquainted with the restaurant. Wu Wei also spoke highly of Lin Yiyang. Taking this opportunity, Yin Guo sent a message to Lin Yiyang. At first, Lin Yiyang's replies were too brief, which made Yin Guo a bit upset, but then Lin Yiyang explained he was in class, which cheered her up.

After class, two female students invited Lin Yiyang to dinner. Knowing their intentions, he politely declined. Wu Wei took Yin Guo to his room. After class, Lin Yiyang went to an underground billiard hall. It turned out he had been financially strained recently because he wanted to take over the billiard hall. Since some people there also wanted to participate in the Nine-Ball Open Tournament, Lin Yiyang created a training plan to help them improve their skills.

After arranging the room, Yin Guo prepared to go with Wu Wei to a nearby billiard hall for practice. When they arrived, the owner warmly welcomed Yin Guo, knowing she was a friend of Lin Yiyang. Yin Guo learned from Wu Wei that Lin Yiyang had worked at the billiard hall and was well-known among the staff. Lin Yiyang had worked in many places, which made Yin Guo feel like she was getting to know his world better.

While Yin Guo was practicing alone, Lin Yiyang unexpectedly arrived. Yin Guo was surprised but happy to see him. She suggested playing a game with Lin Yiyang. During the game, Lin Yiyang proposed playing fast shots to train Yin Guo, knowing that there was a fast shot event in the women's competition. During their match, Lin Yiyang deliberately didn't show his full strength, which Yin Guo noticed. She insisted that he play seriously. Seeing Lin Yiyang's true skills, Yin Guo smiled calmly. After playing billiards, they decided to have dinner together. They both insisted on paying, but the owner kindly didn't charge them.

Yin Guo brought Lin Yiyang back to the rented house for dinner, but found no one home. Wu Wei had taken Meng Xiaotian out to give the two some private time. Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo prepared dinner together. Yin Guo couldn't help but stare at Lin Yiyang, realizing it was impolite and feeling a bit embarrassed, she found an excuse to step away. After preparing the hotpot, Lin Yiyang considered changing clothes, hesitating as he tried to pick an outfit that would make him look more handsome.

Meanwhile, Meng Xiaotian was walking with Wu Wei on the street, feeling puzzled because Wu Wei had mentioned inviting many people, but they hadn't seen anyone yet. Despite the initially awkward atmosphere, Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo enjoyed their meal, finishing all the prepared dishes. Lin Yiyang suggested making noodles, and at that moment, Yin Guo's grandmother called via video. Her brother Meng Xiaodong was also on the call, giving her some advice. Lin Yiyang recognized Meng Xiaodong's voice. Yin Guo's grandmother wanted to thank the foreign student sharing the apartment with Yin Guo, but Lin Yiyang had already left.

Lin Yiyang told his friend Wu Wei that Yin Guo’s brother is Meng Xiaodong. Wu Wei was shocked upon hearing this because everyone in the billiards community knew Meng Xiaodong's reputation. He thought that if Lin Yiyang ended up with Yin Guo, he would definitely have a hard time. However, Lin Yiyang still didn't want to give up on the idea of dating Yin Guo. They planned to go out together, and Lin Yiyang didn’t want to leave Yin Guo alone at home, so he brought her along. Yin Guo was surprised as she hadn't expected to be invited. When the four of them went out to eat, Wu Wei took Yin Guo's brother Meng Xiaotian away on purpose, leaving Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo alone together.

Lin Yiyang wasn’t very talkative. He wanted to start a conversation with Yin Guo but hesitated, making Yin Guo suspect that something big was on his mind. Finally, Lin Yiyang ended up inviting Yin Guo to have ice cream, which both delighted and surprised her. After eating, they went to an ice cream shop where Lin Yiyang was also acquainted with the owner. When Lin Yiyang stepped away, the owner came over and told Yin Guo that this was the first time Lin Yiyang had brought a girl for ice cream.

At the ice cream shop, Yin Guo tried to persuade Lin Yiyang to participate in professional competitions, but Lin Yiyang refused, citing poor mental resilience as his reason for not wanting to join world competitions. Yin Guo thought he was just making excuses and didn’t believe him. Lin Yiyang tried to order a bottle of wine, but the owner thought it might not be to a girl’s taste and tried to recommend another. Lin Yiyang, being straightforward, insisted on ordering what he wanted.

Wu Wei and Meng Xiaotian also came to the ice cream shop. Seeing the expensive wine Lin Yiyang ordered, Wu Wei was convinced that Lin Yiyang had feelings for Yin Guo because he usually ate cheap food himself. After they left the shop, Yin Guo needed to go home, and Lin Yiyang had already thoughtfully arranged a car for her, which made Yin Guo feel warm inside. Wu Wei, watching this, also felt a pang of empathy for Lin Yiyang.

While training Yin Guo in billiards, Lin Yiyang ordered her a coffee. When they handed the coffee to each other, their hands accidentally touched. Though they deliberately avoided it later, they exchanged smiles, showing their mutual affection. However, Lin Yiyang had to leave in a hurry, which disappointed Yin Guo. As he left, Yin Guo reminded him to stay safe.

People in the billiard hall who knew Lin Yiyang were curious about his relationship with Yin Guo and secretly observed them, assuming they were a couple. After Lin Yiyang left, Yin Guo focused on her training. At that moment, her coach called. Yin Guo asked the coach about Lin Yiyang and learned that he used to be a professional player and was even a disciple of a billiard master. However, his arrogance led to his expulsion, and he had since disappeared from the scene.

After training, Yin Guo went home and found her brother’s rival, Jiang Yang, there, which made her feel awkward. Jiang Yang knew Yin Guo was Meng Xiaodong’s sister and was surprised to learn about her connection with Lin Yiyang. To avoid the awkwardness, Yin Guo stayed in her room for a long time. When she thought everyone had left, she came out, only to find they were still there, including Lin Yiyang. Flustered, she grabbed some food and returned to her room. Lin Yiyang also went back to his room, and they started chatting via messages. They agreed to meet in the laundry room.

Lin Yiyang arrived at the laundry room and met Yin Guo. They smiled at each other, but Lin Yiyang didn't bring any clothes to wash again. Yin Guo blamed Lin Yiyang for not bringing two pieces of clothes to show off. Just as they were trying to find a topic to discuss, a middle-aged man suddenly came to the laundry room to wash clothes. The conversation stopped immediately, and the three of them sat there in silence. Even the middle-aged man felt awkward and took out his phone to play with. With no other option, Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo could only communicate through text messages. During this exchange, Lin Yiyang confessed his feelings for Yin Guo. Upon seeing this message, Yin Guo was stunned, not knowing how to respond. She felt nervous and excited, especially with Lin Yiyang sitting beside her. After a while, Lin Yiyang noticed Yin Guo staring at her phone without saying a word, feeling the awkward atmosphere, he stood up and found an excuse to leave.

Seeing only Yin Guo left, the middle-aged man finally spoke. Thinking they were a couple who had a quarrel, he advised Yin Guo to cherish each other, especially since they were both in a foreign land. Yin Guo wanted to explain but couldn't find the words. The middle-aged man thought Yin Guo was just upset with Lin Yiyang and kept persuading her. After washing the clothes, the middle-aged man came out and encouraged Lin Yiyang, who was waiting outside.

To avoid another awkward situation, Lin Yiyang didn't go back to the laundry room but decided to relax outside. After leaving the building, Lin Yiyang sent a message to a friend, asking for clothes. He thought others would tease him.

When they met, An Mei blamed Lin Yiyang for not keeping in touch. Lin Yiyang felt their paths had diverged, so they didn't communicate much. An Mei was excited to see Lin Yiyang and told him that Yin Guo also liked him, which she could tell from her eyes.

After Yin Guo finished washing clothes, she met Jiang Yang and his disciples leaving. Some of the disciples teased her. When they returned to the room, only Lin Yiyang was there. Seeing this, Yin Guo felt nervous, exchanged a few words, and quickly ran back to her room. Lin Yiyang understood her nervousness and continued talking to her outside the room.

Lin Yiyang's good friend, Wu Wei, also returned. While they were talking in the living room, Yin Guo came out. Yin Guo called her good friend Zheng Yi and asked for advice on dealing with a man's pursuit.

Lin Yiyang was worried about Yin Guo's safety and followed her closely. After Yin Guo returned home, she quickly went to her bedroom. However, she couldn't sleep because of her excitement about Lin Yiyang's message. The next morning, Yin Guo got up groggily and waited in the living room to use the restroom. The atmosphere was slightly awkward when she saw Lin Yiyang coming out. She even worried about Lin Yiyang cutting himself while shaving. Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo went shopping and ate together. After separating, Lin Yiyang came back to be with Yin Guo again. Just as they parted ways, Yin Guo's brother called because Meng Xiaodong knew Yin Guo hadn't been training properly and was considering flying over to find her.

Lin Yiyang had dinner with two good friends. During the meal, he asked if they wanted to go back to the past. Both friends agreed that they should achieve something before reconnecting with familiar people from the past. Lin Yiyang also felt that he shouldn't just live for today without considering tomorrow; he should think more about his future.

Since Yin Guo's coach and teammates also participated in the competition, Yin Guo had to move out to live with them. When the Chinese restaurant owner, who knew Yin Guo, heard about this, he worried about how Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo would develop in the future.

While Yin Guo was chatting with the owner, Lin Yiyang sent a message saying he was coming to see her. Yin Guo prepared to go home, but on her way back, she unexpectedly met her brother, which surprised her. Even more unexpected was that Meng Xiaodong came to see Lin Yiyang.

Lin Yiyang asked Meng Xiaotian to inquire when Lin Yiyang would return. Yin Guo worried that they might fight when they meet and wanted to cover for Lin Yiyang. However, Lin Yiyang replied that he had already arrived downstairs. Meng Xiaodong unbuttoned his shirt, and Yin Guo was worried they might fight when they met. She even signaled to Meng Xiaotian to intervene.

When Lin Yiyang entered the room, both Yin Guo and Meng Xiaotian looked worried. After Lin Yiyang and Meng Xiaodong met, they looked at each other calmly, but their tone was sharp. Seeing the tension, Meng Xiaotian quickly found an excuse to escape back to his room. Yin Guo worried they might fight and wanted Meng Xiaotian to help.

When Yin Guo opened the door again, Lin Yiyang asked her to close it. In the living room, only Lin Yiyang and Meng Xiaodong were left. Meng Xiaodong wanted Lin Yiyang to continue playing billiards, but Lin Yiyang didn't want to talk about anything related to billiards. Eventually, they talked about Yin Guo, and Lin Yiyang admitted his feelings for her. Meng Xiaodong invited Lin Yiyang to play billiards together to compete.

Seeing her brother leave, Yin Guo hurried back to ask if Lin Yiyang was in trouble. When Lin Yiyang came back again, he was wearing clothes he used to play billiards, which surprised Yin Guo. Lin Yiyang and Meng Xiaodong went to the billiards hall. When people recognized Meng Xiaodong as the snooker world champion, they watched their match. Yin Guo also came to watch Lin Yiyang and her brother's match. The match was exciting, and they received applause from time to time. In the end, Lin Yiyang won.

Meng Xiaodong took his sister, Yin Guo, aside and encouraged her to be bold with Lin Yiyang. He also hoped she could persuade Lin Yiyang to return to professional competitions because of his talent. Lin Yiyang left the billiards hall and met Yin Guo. They looked at each other, both feeling something for each other, but Yin Guo felt too embarrassed to break the ambiguous atmosphere.

Lin Yiyang took Yin Guo to a fast-food restaurant, but there was a misunderstanding about the order. Lin Yiyang inadvertently ordered a dish Yin Guo didn't like but couldn't say it, so she reluctantly ate it. In the evening, when Lin Yiyang brought Yin Guo back to the rental house, Meng Xiaotian and Wu Wei were preparing dinner.

Lin Yiyang sat down with them to eat. Yin Guo's coach called, so she went to answer the phone. Wu Wei deliberately asked Meng Xiaotian in front of Lin Yiyang if Yin Guo had any suitors. Meng Xiaotian calmly told them that Yin Guo had many suitors, and there was even a potential fiancé now. Lin Yiyang felt a pang in his heart upon hearing this.

After Meng Xiaodong finished playing ball with Lin Yiyang, he found Jiang Yang because Jiang Yang was also looking for Lin Yiyang. Both of them had the same goal: they hoped Lin Yiyang would continue to return to professional matches. They had a little competition with Lin Yiyang to see if his basic skills had deteriorated over the years. They found out that Lin Yiyang hadn't stopped playing pool over the years and was still in peak condition. Both understood that Lin Yiyang couldn't let go of the past.

In the evening, Yin Guo couldn't sleep and heard noise in the living room. Thinking it was Lin Yiyang, she messaged him. It turned out to be Lin Yiyang, who walked into Yin Guo's bedroom to avoid her brother, Meng Xiaotian. Lin Yiyang told Yin Guo he was injured, and she worriedly helped him treat the wound on his leg. It was scratched while protecting Yin Guo, but Lin Yiyang didn't tell her the reason.

After Lin Yiyang finished applying the medicine, he left, and Yin Guo prepared to go to the living room. Unexpectedly, she ran into Lin Yiyang again. He pushed her against the wall and even pressed his face close to hers, making her nervous but not resisting, seemingly anticipating his next move. However, at that moment, her brother suddenly came out, allowing Yin Guo to retreat to her bedroom. Wu Wei, with a pained expression, decided to go back to playing snooker and sent Lin Lin a message, causing Lin Lin to scold him for his lack of focus. Wu Wei couldn't understand why Lin Lin was with Meng Xiaodong, as they had completely different personalities.

Lin Lin also realized Lin Yiyang was nearby and told him that Jiang Yang had come early to see him because he felt hurt by Lin Yiyang's previous indifference. Lin Yiyang felt guilty upon hearing this.

After Yin Guo returned to her room, unable to sleep, Lin Yiyang finally sent her a message. She immediately responded. The next morning, Lin Yiyang asked Yin Guo to come out of her bedroom. She quickly tidied up and went out, finding Lin Yiyang making coffee in the living room. As they stood close together, Wu Wei suddenly came out, causing them to separate. Yin Guo, feeling flustered, randomly found something to occupy herself with. They talked about information regarding Lin Lin, and Yin Guo learned about the relationship between Lin Lin and her brother, as her brother had never mentioned it before.

After the conversation, Wu Wei felt the atmosphere was awkward and left, leaving Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo alone. Yin Guo was about to move out, and both of them felt a little reluctant to part. While they were alone in the living room, Jiang Yang suddenly came to find Lin Yiyang, which irritated Lin Yiyang as he appeared without prior notice.

Yin Guo was going to meet her coach and took Lin Yiyang to the pool room. As a result, Yin Guo's senior brothers also came along to cheer her up, which surprised Yin Guo a bit. However, among the many senior brothers, there was one named Li Qingyan who liked Yin Guo. He felt jealous when he saw Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo being sweet together.

When Yin Guo went to see her coach, only Lin Yiyang and many senior brothers were left. They all looked hostile towards Lin Yiyang and even provocatively approached him, wanting to see his skills. At first, Lin Yiyang didn't want to confront everyone, so he intentionally avoided playing pool. But under everyone's instigation, Lin Yiyang didn't want to embarrass Yin Guo, so he agreed. Through the rules set by Lin Yiyang, everyone could see that he was an expert. Lin Yiyang's skills impressed many people present, and one of Yin Guo's senior sisters secretly left to find her.

After meeting with the coach, Yin Guo inquired about Lin Yiyang's situation and learned from the coach that Lin Yiyang's previous achievements were even better than her brother's, but he didn't earn much money back then. At this time, a senior sister told Yin Guo that Lin Yiyang was being harassed by many senior brothers but was currently winning the upper hand, using only some basic training methods. After learning about Lin Yiyang's approach, the coach understood that he deliberately chose some basic training methods to maintain his status quo, considering the mentality of his disciples, as they were all preparing for competitions and couldn't afford to affect their mindset before the big matches.

After meeting Lin Yiyang, the coach praised him in front of many disciples, and Yin Guo, fearing that Lin Yiyang would be bullied if left there, found an excuse to take Lin Yiyang away quickly. The coach also praised Yin Guo for bringing a touch of pride with her. Lin Yiyang took Yin Guo to the rooftop, and they kissed each other during this brief moment. They both felt reluctant to part when they separated.

After parting ways with Lin Yiyang, Yin Guo gathered the courage to message him, asking if he was sincere and if he had another girlfriend. Lin Yiyang expressed his loyalty to Yin Guo, and she was excited to see his response, preparing to go to the station to see him off in person.

Due to Lin Yiyang's excessive exertion, his physical condition deteriorated, and he fell ill on his way back. He went straight to bed without sending a message to reassure Yin Guo. Yin Guo kept looking at her phone, waiting for Lin Yiyang's message. Their teammates who lived together with Yin Guo were also worried about Yin Guo and Lin Yiyang's long-distance relationship, especially when Yin Guo returned to her country, making their separation even greater. However, Yin Guo was prepared for this because they had already started and should bravely face it.

In the middle of the night, Lin Yiyang woke up and quickly sent a message to reassure Yin Guo. However, Yin Guo, seeing Lin Yiyang's late response, worried that he might have encountered trouble. However, Lin Yiyang, feeling unwell, fell asleep after sending a message and did not see Yin Guo's subsequent messages. The next day, when Yin Guo woke up again, she saw her brother and Jiang Yang. As soon as they met, Meng Xiaodong asked Yin Guo about the progress of her relationship with Lin Yiyang. Because Meng Xiaodong and Jiang Yang jointly managed the pool room, the two teams practiced together. While Yin Guo was practicing, Lin Lin kept staring at her.

Because Lin Yiyang was going to be busy, he transferred the money to Meng Xiaotian the night before, asking Meng Xiaotian to take Yin Guo out for dinner and fun. When Yin Guo found out that Lin Yiyang was working so late for her sake, she was deeply moved and decided to come find Lin Yiyang herself, wanting to give him a surprise. When Lin Yiyang learned that Yin Guo had come to his city, he was very excited and hurried over to meet her.

After the two met, Yin Guo was worried that her arrival would affect Lin Yiyang's work. She expressed her apologies to Lin Yiyang. At this time, Lin Yiyang was also feeling unwell, his voice hoarse. Seeing Lin Yiyang sick and uncomfortable, Yin Guo was also worried, which touched Lin Yiyang. He hugged Yin Guo, and seeing her crying because she was worried about him made him even more touched.

Lin Yiyang took Yin Guo back to his dormitory. Because the light in the dormitory was broken, Yin Guo bumped into a suitcase as soon as she entered. When Lin Yiyang's roommate returned and saw Yin Guo, he was very excited, thinking Lin Yiyang had a new girlfriend. The two returned to Lin Yiyang's rented room and sat on the bed. Yin Guo noticed Lin Yiyang's hoarse voice and suggested chatting via WeChat.

However, after chatting for a while, Lin Yiyang and Yin Guo ran out of topics. Lin Yiyang asked Yin Guo to rest on the bed. At first, Yin Guo didn't mind, but when they became more intimate, she became nervous and wanted to leave. She took out her phone to book a hotel, but couldn't find one available, so she had to stay in Lin Yiyang's room overnight. Because the light in the living room was broken, Yin Guo bumped her leg again when she went to the toilet, which made Lin Yiyang a bit angry. He moved the suitcase away and brought an ice pack to treat Yin Guo's injury.

At night, as Yin Guo lay in bed, she felt a little nervous but also excited. To avoid making Yin Guo feel embarrassed, Lin Yiyang pretended to sleep facing the other way. Unable to fall asleep due to her excitement, Yin Guo took out her phone and messaged her friend about her situation. When her friend heard about it, she was a bit puzzled and sent a video call. This made Yin Guo and Lin Yiyang both pretend to be asleep. Yin Guo told her friend that she and Lin Yiyang were sleeping on the same bed, and her friend jokingly told her to turn off her phone and cuddle with Lin Yiyang directly.

The next morning, when the alarm clock rang, Yin Guo, still half-asleep, forgot that she was with Lin Yiyang and called out to her friend next to her. When Lin Yiyang turned over to turn off the phone, he accidentally pressed on Yin Guo, and when they opened their eyes, Yin Guo felt nervous. They got up and got ready to go out. Yin Guo learned that Lin Yiyang's family situation was not very good, so she told him not to spend too extravagantly because of her, just follow his usual habits.

Lin Yiyang took Yin Guo to his billiards room. When his colleagues saw Yin Guo, they all called her "sister-in-law," which made Yin Guo excited and shy. Yin Guo learned that the billiards room was Lin Yiyang's responsibility, and he had been pretending to be poor. Lin Yiyang also told her about the current situation of the billiards room, which was incurring a large amount of rent when it was closed, and with the recent snowstorm, it had been in a state of loss. It was precisely during his poorest time that he met Yin Guo.
