After passing streetlight after streetlight, and red light after green light I began to feel my thoughts stray... Didn't the National Geographic Channel once say that some Europeans were able to run around at the north pole and swim in nearly zero-temperature water? And then there was the student who froze to death while being punished by his teacher? Was it warmer for him in heaven? And what exactly did I do in the winter the previous year? I remembered riding a lot of escalators with you and having a lot of discussions. I also remembered the first time I saw it snow in Beijing and how touching it was... I also remembered being a student in the Beijing Language University dorms, and how it was so hot in the winter that I could wear a skirt..... Why are people alive, I thought. And then I wondered where my home was. Dammit! Isn't this road supposed to go north? Who told me it would only take twenty minutes to get home anyway? I became aware that there was a possibility I just wouldn't make it home, and so resolved to save myself. The first step was getting rid of this cursed bicycle and taking the subway or bus or maybe a cab. But All of these didn't seem possible on a snowy day like today when I was lost. The second option was keeping warm. When I mountain climbing before I was never scared of never making it home. I needed gloves and a sweater... or no, gloves and a scarf! But in this weather there was no-one selling anything beside the road. I cursed those salespeople for their lack of business sense. There were always people selling umbrellas when it rained, so why on earth on such a cold day weren't people selling.... things? And then I saw a small store up ahead and was so excited that the snow on my head all melted. I stopped my bike, didn't lock it and charged into the store. "Do you have gloves, earmuffs and a scarf?" "They're over there," the storekeeper replied. I darted over and found that - indeed - there were gloves and earmuffs and scarves. "There are only two gloves left," the gentleman said. "One men's and one woman's pair." I looked around and found a pair of horribly ugly men's gloves. The other paid was a pair of pink cashmere gloves embroidered with the picture of a rabbit and two balls. The gentleman in the store broke into my thoughts. "Beautiful girl, do you really need to choose? The pink ones are really good looking." That's right, I answered and grabbed the men's gloves and headed for the checkout.
