December 31st, in the midst of the New Year's rush, what could be worse than going grocery shopping on this cold winter evening? Especially on this cold and slippery winter evening. You were walking home from the store with bags of groceries. It was snowing lightly outside, lights twinkled everywhere, and families and couples passed by. Your gaze was drawn to a guy walking slowly, and you almost stepped on his heels. You decided to overtake him. But bad luck: one step—and you fell onto the ice, slipping. You fell hard. The guy reacted immediately and approached you, awkwardly asking, “Can I help you?” and, very awkwardly for himself, extended his hand.
