Looking for a woman named Xiaoyao

7. Lake Baikal to see blue ice

After hitting the wall countless times, Xiang Wan finally found a job in an education and training institution, and her drawing skills finally came into play.I said, yes, people will become simpler when they are with children.I'm really afraid that if you go to some entertainment hotel to do public relations, it will really fall into the dye vat and you won't be able to wash it off.

In order to celebrate the successful job hunting, Xiang Wan asked me to go to Lake Baikal to see the blue ice.She will bear the expenses, but only if I am allowed to continue living with me.After thinking for a few seconds, I agreed.

From the night before departure, Xiang Wan was a little excited, and kept asking me for the things I needed while packing my luggage, until I couldn't get tired of asking, and finally replied, you can figure it out.

It’s still Pudong International Airport, I’m still wearing that Korean-style polka-dot trench coat, and I’m pushing a 24-storey suitcase, but this time, there’s an extra Xiangwan by my side.

In a few hours, we traveled from the warm spring south to the cold Siberia.

The plane landed at Irkutsk Airport. The airport is very small and old. I thought it was an apartment instead of an airport.Irkutsk is a city full of Soviet history. Trams run across the main roads of the city, and some statues of heroes can be seen in the street squares.

But the deepest impression is that Russian people's English is really bad beyond my imagination.After several times of asking for directions, it was always chicken talking to ducks.

On the way to the hotel, I had to take out Google Navigation, walk through the criss-crossing streets, and walk for more than an hour to find the hotel I booked.Halfway through, Xiang Wan couldn't move anymore.He bluntly asked me to carry her on his back.I glared at her and said, look at my weak figure, how lucky you are to make such a request?

On the first night, we stayed in a hotel in the urban area. Although there was heating, Xiang Wan said it was still a bit cold. When we got up in the middle of the night, we insisted on sharing the same bed with me.In the middle of the night, he was woken up by Xiang Wan's disturbance.Xiang Wan said, I heard that Russia is homophobic, if someone sees me kissing you, will I be arrested?

I said, "Then you can try it." Xiang Wan unexpectedly kissed me without any hesitation.He also picked up his camera and took a selfie. "I pushed it away and said: "You were just joking, and you took it seriously." "Then Xiang Wan fell asleep back to back like an angry child.

The night before we booked a car to go to Lake Baikal at the hotel where we stayed. Early the next morning, a minibus stopped at the hotel door and came to pick up the guests.The driver is a middle-aged man in his 50s. In addition to the two of us, there are two Dutch female tourists and a local family group in the car.

It takes about 6 hours to drive from Irkutsk to Lake Baikal. My seat is sideways, and the glass is covered with a layer of glass. The scenery outside the window looks blurry, so I feel a little motion sick.During the period, the driver was stopped once, and he vomited when he got out of the car.See you later,

Immediately afterwards, hand over a tissue.Tell me hold on a little longer and there it will be.

When I got out of the car, my mind seemed to be clearer. Looking around, I saw a large patch of blue ice in front of me, just like the Ice Age in the cartoon.Walking in the blue world, Xiang Wan danced excitedly and screamed like a child.

She said, "Ruoru, this place is so beautiful. I'll leave you to take today's photo shoot." That day, Xiangwan wore a bright red windbreaker and bright lipstick. Against the backdrop of the ice surface, it is extraordinarily gorgeous.

Cape Harbor is considered the climax of the northern line. Xiangwan and I walked through the blue ice, with bursts of cold air, but it didn't feel cold under the dilution of sunlight, but more of the warmth of the winter sun and the surprise of the beautiful scenery.Even if I was walking in the bitter wind at night, at least I felt that half of the cold air was sucked away by the circulating stars.

In March, Lake Baikal gradually entered the ice-melting period. Compared with the northern line, the southern line was more vast and desolate. Standing on the vast Lake Baikal, I heard bursts of ice cracking from the deep sea. The muffled sound resounded throughout On the empty Lake Baikal, I felt lingering fear, as if I might fall into the deep lake at any time.Xiang Wan didn't take it seriously, and bent down to lie on the ice to hear the sound of the ice cracking. It was both exciting and shocking. I said, "Xiang Wan, are you crazy? Don't expect me to save you if you fall."

"If I fall, I will pull you down with me." After finishing speaking, he pulled me to bend down to listen to the sound of the ice bursting.Bow your head, bend your ears, the sound of the ice city bursting is clearly visible, and Xiang Wan and I face to face, we can hear each other's breathing.I can even see the fine hairs on Xiang Wan's face.

You said, if the ice breaks at this time, what is the thing you most want to do before the end of your life?

At that moment, what I thought of was actually Xiao Yao.If he died now, it would be a pity if he didn't see Xiao Yao.

This was a wish I kept in my heart, and of course I didn't tell Xiang Wan.

I didn't answer, I pushed the question to Xiang Wan.

Would you think I was joking if I said I wanted to be with you and be your girlfriend?

I looked at Xiang Wan, her eyes showed the look of someone who likes someone.I avoided her burning gaze.I got up and said, come on, it's a pity not to take more photos of such a beautiful scenery.Xiang Wan stood up, stroked a strand of hair on his forehead, and said, "You obviously want to use me as an experiment to practice your portrait photography skills, but it's okay, I am happy."

Early the next morning, Xiang Wan couldn't hold back his excitement, as if the excitement from yesterday hadn't dissipated, he woke up early and urged me to go.

The southern line mainly sees bubble ice and ice cracks. The ice here is clearer than the northern line. The blue ice cracks form different but artistic shapes.

Xiang Wan yelled like a child, saying that if he could, he really wanted to stay forever.I said, "That's no good. I'm still counting on you to get up and go to work in the training institution soon so that I can pay back my rent sooner."

In the evening, we stayed in a homestay in Khuzhir Village.Khuzhir Village is a village on the shore of Lake Baikal. As such a famous scenic spot, the roads in Khuzhir Village are still in the original state. There are sandy roads everywhere, and the vehicles pass by, raising dust all the way.Every time I saw a car coming from a distance, Xiang Wan would drag me to the side to hide, and then buried her face in my chest for an excuse. When the car passed by, she patted the dust on my body and said with a smile: We How come the two seem to be fleeing.

Most of the villagers here rely on tourism for a living. The villagers used local materials to build many wooden houses and homestays. Wooden houses of various shapes are scattered on the ground.Almost every homestay has a large yard with some flowers and plants planted in it.

The owner of this homestay is a Russian aunt, with a plump body, a smiling face, and an amiable face. When checking in, she is meticulous and patient.The aunt has a daughter. Contrary to the kindness of the aunt, the daughter always has a serious face, as if something big is about to happen.There are many small freckles scattered on the wings of the daughter's nose. Every time I see her, I keep calling her, and I can't stop busy.As the tourist season, this should be the busiest season for village names.

That day, all the residents gathered around the yard of the hotel, the bonfire lit up the night sky, everyone drank vodka, ate barbecue, and everyone took turns singing the most famous song in their country.

It was the turn of the Dutch girls. The two Dutch female tourists seemed to be a little too high. They walked to the center of the crowd with forgetfulness and danced a Latin dance. Their slender figures danced like silver snakes in the firelight. They jumped and stuck to each other, and then they began to look at each other and kiss affectionately.

Xiang Wan leaned towards me and whispered, "Ruoru, will they be arrested like this? But I could tell that these two girls are not ordinary friends in the car. My The sixth sense really works."

Someone below started screaming and whistling.I said: I really don’t see that in homophobic Russia, in the remote Khuzhir village, the villagers’ minds are quite open.Only the Russian aunt shook her head with an indecent expression on her face, then turned around and went back to the house. Before she left, she deliberately walked up to Xiang Wan and me and asked me if I wanted to go back to rest, it was getting late.

Xiang Wan drank too much that night, and I drank too much.Xiang Wan's face was flushed red from the alcohol, like a newly blooming peach blossom.

Xiang Wan staggered back into the house, just as he pushed open the door, he staggered and fell into my arms.It's not that I haven't read the longing in Xiang Wan's eyes, but every time this happens, the appearance of the little demon will appear in front of my eyes, forming a gap between me and Xiang Wan.Between body and mind, I cannot separate the two.

That night, none of us spoke, the night was like a huge net, swallowing the undercurrents and unspeakable emotions in the calm, through the glass outside the window, only the stars in the night sky shone like sapphires .

After a long time, Xiang Wan said vaguely: "Ruoru, I can tell. You have something on your mind." I said, "What's on your mind? It's just a little uncomfortable."

Waking up at 5 o'clock in the morning the next morning, he found that Xiang Wan was gone by his side. When he went out, he found that Xiang Wan was sitting quietly on the balcony, watching the morning glow all over the sky in the distance.

Looking from a distance, the red glow illuminates the entire sky, layers of clouds and mist float and swim in the sky, scattered, and the clouds that penetrate the glow embed the sky into layers of red, which is extremely gorgeous and spectacular.

The temperature on Lake Baikal in the early morning was very low, so I walked behind Xiang Wan, took out a coat and put it on Xiang Wan.Xiang Wan seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment of yesterday, and leaned against me and said, "I really want to be with the person I like, on the shore of Lake Baikal, and watch the sunrise and sunset for a lifetime." Then he turned his head and looked at me, with spring breeze in his eyes The soft waves flicker.
