May there be no time to turn back

Fairbanks in the twelfth lunar month is full of ice and snow.Pedestrians hurried to and fro wrapped in bloated down jackets, and the road looked a little lonely. Occasionally, three or five vehicles galloped by, raising fine snow particles and hitting their faces, causing a dull pain.

The night fell too early, and under the dark blue sky, the neon lights of the streets were colorful and lively.

As Christmas approaches, the bright windows are full of finely trimmed fir trees, twined with flickering lights, which are particularly warm against the warm indoor light.

After passing another exquisite ice sculpture, Guan Xiao instinctively wrapped the thick scarf tighter.

It would be nice to refer to some strategies before leaving.With a little annoyance.The laziness that was stolen before, is now hit in the face one by one.

I have heard that Alaska is cold this season, but I didn't expect it to be so cold.

Guan Xiao's nose hurts from the cold, and he bought the goose on purpose, thinking that he could sit back and relax, but it seems that the effect is not as obvious as expected.

A gust of wind hit him, he turned around and walked backwards to avoid it, looking at the street scene behind him.The hotel I stayed in was just opposite the crossroads, and it was not far after I walked out, but it was almost the same as the ice sculptures all over the street.

If I had known this earlier, even if I rejected Chang He's kindness, I should never have agreed.

Guan Xiao felt so regretful that his intestines turned green.

Recalling that day when Changhe slapped the plane ticket on the table and forced him to travel far away, Guan Xiao was in black again.

"I won't go." At that time, Guan Xiao didn't even look at it, so he refused without interest.

Chang He was furious and put his hands on his hips: "Let me go! Take a look at the aurora and relax!" Then he sighed, and tried to persuade him, "It's not the way to keep doing this, after so long, you should come out and live a good life .”

Guan Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at the information on the ticket indifferently.

"Seattle?" Guan Xiao raised his eyebrows, and Chong Changhe confirmed, "Watch the aurora?"

"No," Chang He spread out several air tickets and arranged them in chronological order, "Transfer in Seattle and go to Fairbanks. Transportation and accommodation have been booked for you, so wear more."

"Can't you invite me to a warmer place..." Guan Xiao lazily complained.The cold wind blowing through Q City in the deep winter is already harsh enough, and it is hard to imagine what it will be like to go further north.

"I don't have that much money," Chang He spread out his hands, expressing his helplessness, "and it just so happens that the round-trip ticket discount over there is low, so it's affordable." After saying that, he puffed up his chest, feeling a sense of pride.

"It's really hard for you to save me so much in terms of your monthly expenses." Guan Xiao compromised dumbfounded, and patted her on the shoulder to express her gratitude.Earlier, when Chang He suggested that he go out for a walk, Guan Xiao Wuxin's joke of "I'll go if you invite me" was taken seriously. Now that Guan Xiao is on the verge of riding a tiger, he can only bite the bullet and fulfill his promise.

"Ah-choo!" Sneezed indistinctly, Guan Xiao rubbed the tip of his red nose with his hands, and became numb to the point of unconsciousness.

Although Chang He had good intentions, but after careful study, this move was of no avail.If the grief and anguish accumulated deep in Guan Xiao's heart can be resolved so easily, it won't last a whole year without being able to let go of it.Right now, instead, because he was wandering outside alone, the completely unfamiliar environment evoked various past events more and more clearly, and they were noisy in his mind, causing a dull pain.

A local person passed by, and a few words were passed through the howling wind with difficulty and passed into Guan Xiao's ears.Streets and alleys around the world will inevitably be similar, and only the thousands of languages ​​scattered around can truly remind people living in other places where they are.

Fairbanks, as the second largest city in Alaska and the largest city in the inland area of ​​Alaska, is the closest place in North America to the Arctic Circle, and Guan Xiao stood in such a temperature, exhaling white air, Runny nose.

While secretly planning to cancel all of Changhe's pre-planned itinerary and replace it with a 24-hour hotel life, while preparing to end the street walk, he turned around and turned back.But I saw a window of a dessert station not far in front, with steaming signature drinks on the poster, and the queue was sparse and not many.So Guan Xiao ran a few steps quickly, planning to buy something to keep warm.

The man in front of Guan Xiao was also wrapped in a heavy down jacket, but because of his body shape, he was not clumsy, so he still looked tall and thin.He covered half of his face with a mask, and the wool cap was pulled over his eyes to cover the other half.Guan Xiao sighed in his heart that the man in the wool hat was well equipped, and he sighed that it was not as good.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the man in the wool hat say "a double cup of classic hot chocolate and chia pudding" in fluent English. After paying the payment, he gave way to the window and stood quietly to the side to wait.Guan Xiao then hurried forward, already dizzy from the cold, he was too lazy to browse the water list, so he opened his mouth and said, "Please give me the same hot drink as the last customer, thank you."

"A cup of hot chocolate and double pudding?" the clerk repeated for confirmation.Hearing this, the man in the wool hat turned his head and glanced at Guan Xiao.

"Yes." After Guan Xiao finished speaking, he took out his wallet and took out US dollars. His hands were trembling, and he almost dropped the passport inside.

"Please wait a moment." The clerk said, Guan Xiao moved two steps sideways, and stood next to the man in the wool hat.

Soon the man in the beanie's hot drink was handed out, he picked it up, and left the dessert station.Guan Xiaoqian stood a little bored, so he took out the cigarette and put it in his mouth.

He then reached into his pocket again, trying to touch the lighter, but accidentally caught a hand.

Guan Xiao was startled, hurriedly withdrew his hand, turned his head to meet a pair of dark gray eyes.The local is used to stealing when things are exposed, so he smiled at Guan Xiao awkwardly, quickly pulled out his wallet and fled.

"Hey!" Guan Xiao came to his senses and immediately chased after him, but he staggered helplessly on the slippery ground.Seeing Habitually running farther and farther, Guan Xiaoqian was anxious but helpless.

Fortunately, the man in the woolen hat just now hadn't gone far. When he heard the shouting stop, he happened to bump into Habit sneaking past him, so he stretched out his feet quickly to trip.

The habitual thief was unprepared and lost his balance for a while, the man in the wool hat saw the opportunity and made a decisive move.Unexpectedly, being used to stealing is not a fuel-efficient lamp, still holding on to the wallet tightly, the two sides are at a stalemate and neither will let go.Seeing Guan Xiao chasing after him, the habitual thief finally had no choice but to give up bitterly, let go of his wallet, strode across the alley and disappeared.However, due to inertia, the man in the wool hat backed up repeatedly and fell heavily on his back, spilling the hot drink he just bought on the floor.

"Does it matter? Did you get hurt somewhere?" Guan Xiao didn't care to take a breath, and quickly helped the man in the wool hat up.

The man in the wool hat shook his head and handed him the wallet.

"Thank you!" Sincerely grateful.The passport and ID card are all inside. If the man in the wool hat hadn't helped to recover it, a series of huge troubles would have followed.

"You're welcome, put it away." The man in the wool hat ordered, and was about to leave, but suddenly he held his right wrist and groaned in pain.

Seeing this, Guan Xiao insisted on taking the man in the wool hat to the hospital. After a busy examination, the two stood in front of the glass window at the end of the corridor, chatting and waiting for the results.

"Let's just say it's all right, and I've made it hard for you to make this trip." The man in the wool hat felt that there was no serious problem, and said humbly.Feeling stuffy indoors, he took off his hat and mask, revealing his delicate facial features.Although he is 1.8 meters tall, his face is small, with smooth lines, a sharp chin, and clear outlines.The bangs were wet with sweat and scattered messily in the court, the eyebrows and eyes were clear and clean, and when the corners of the eyes were narrowed, they would droop slightly, bringing out some inexplicable sadness and melancholy, without any sense of aggression.Slapped faces are rare among men, but they are slender and thin, and their proportions are so harmonious that they are enviable.

Guan Xiao couldn't help but sized up the walking hanger, then felt a little impolite, and looked back at the right time, sighing secretly that God's creation of man was really so unfair.

"Your injury was caused by me, and I will be responsible for the height." Guan Xiao replied in this way, so as not to make the man in the woolen hat feel bad.

The man in the wool hat smiled at Guan Xiao, his smile was clean and endearing, with an indescribable charm.

"Your name is K...Ko..." Guan Xiao couldn't hear clearly when he registered just now, and recalled with difficulty.

"Koken, I'mKoken." The man in the wool hat introduced himself, "Koken. I'm glad I can help you today."
