That Piece of Snow Was Falling

Ning Que pushed aside the thorns in front of him and walked out of the flower garden. He stood at the flat stone ground of the courtyard and looked at Gu Xi sitting in the chair, asking, "I didn't think I've offended you before. Why would you wish to kill me?"

Gu Xi slowly stood up from his chair and looked at him with a smile, saying, "Many things in the world need reasons, and killing people is no exception. But our killing is different from the court's cutting prisoners' heads, so you don't have to offend me. I want to kill you for I think you should die."

Ning Que started to roll up his sleeves slowly and seriously. He stared at Gu Xi, who was not far away, and asked with a calm expression, "I really don't know why I have to die. Do teach me."
