Weekend afternoons were always the busiest time on the pedestrian street of Beta Town.
Free from the pressures of classes and the annoyance of homework, many students would sleep in until the afternoon. Upon waking, they would have plenty of energy, and lots of time. As a result, the pedestrian street, abounding with bars, food, and shops, became especially popular.
Perhaps the wizard responsible for the weather decided enough snow had fallen for the day. When Zheng Qing left Double Tang Note with the Gypsy witch, there were only sporadic snowflakes slowly falling from the sky.
The wind gradually subsided, and those who had been staying indoors due to the snowy weather took advantage of the lingering daylight and beautiful snow scenery to rush out and stroll the small streets.
