The curse of the snow demon1

Legend has it that a long time ago, the king of a distant land was cursed by a malicious snow demon, his heart was frozen and could only be stored in indifference, unable to resist the warmth of any feelings. Later this curse gradually infected the entire kingdom's people, so that everyone has a frozen heart, if anyone tries to use the heart made of ice to hold warm love, the heart will melt and dissolve, along with the owner of the heart will also die. This rumor has been circulating for a thousand years, the people of the kingdom are convinced of it, no one dares to joke with their lives, can only hide all the emotions with warmth, no cheerful laughter, no moving tears, indifferent human feelings such as the top of the mountain covered with ice and snow. Even the size of the city-state where people live, but also slowly eroded by the cold, becoming obscure and gloomy, cloudy all day long, rare clouds and clear weather. Over time, people gradually get used to such a numb life, no one wants to question, not to mention change. But there are always some people who are not used to it. There are so very few a small group of people, and I do not know what the reason is, they seem to be born immune to the curse, chest beating is still alive with the heart, they are not afraid to pay sincere feelings, more hope to harvest the hot response. Such people still have the ability to love. For example, the cheerful girl who goes to the florist on the corner of the street every day to buy flowers, she has a heart full of energy and hope, a smile on her face as dynamic as the sun after the snow, moving to shine. Some people will be afraid of her, afraid to accidentally dip into the hot air, melting their cold heart, can not save the poor little life. But there are also people who have lived in the cold for too long, they can't help but pay more attention to the warm things. For example, the shy young man who helped his father with the flower store, could not control his gaze and was always captivated by the smile of the young girl. Coincidentally, the girl also often hides behind the flower stand, secretly watching his gentle look and concentrated expression when tending to the flowers. One heart is hot, one heart is cold, should not have mutual affection, both of them know this. But, but, if a pure love can be put away with reason, then it will not be love. In the hesitation and hope of the two young people, this love like a flower vine grows vigorously, the distance between the two closer and closer, until one day, the young man was driven by an inexplicable courage, red face took the girl's hand. A warmth came from the palm of his hand, spread throughout his body, and also into the frozen heart. With his heart fluttering slightly in his chest, the young man frankly said his feelings, and then the girl responded with a surprise hug. But before the young couple could savor the taste of love, a pain in his chest struck the teenager first, causing him to stiffen and fall to the ground. The teenager fell into a coma and could not be awakened no matter how much the young girl called. "This is the curse of the snow demon taking effect." The others said one after another. "Because his frozen heart is starting to melt." According to the legend, there is no cure for such a symptom, only to let the heart of the sleeping person completely melt away until the chest is empty and the life is over. Faced with such a situation, the people next to him were afraid and grateful at the same time, afraid that this appalling legend was actually true, and grateful that they had never really loved anyone and were able to save their lives.
