gentle fairy tale

Chapter 43 43

When the plane landed, it was dark outside the window.

Wei Yi had already arranged for a driver to pick him up, and booked a homestay with a beautiful and open environment, and a big balcony in a place where every inch of land was expensive.Yu Mian stood on the balcony and looked out, she could see the lights of Wanjia in the distance, which belonged to those strangers she didn't know.

Yu Mian turned her head and looked at Pei Songxi again, she was watering the potted plants in the room, her profile was quiet and beautiful, she couldn't help smiling while looking at the lights outside the window.

Hokkaido has the highest snowfall and dry powder snow quality in the country. They went to the Rusutsu Resort Ski Resort, which is composed of three mountains, Isola, East and West. It is suitable for both beginners and experts.

It was Yu Mian's first time skiing, and he invited a one-on-one coach.

The coach introduced the details here to her, speaking in fairly fluent Chinese: "The powder snow here is the cold air from Siberia blowing across the sea, forming the northwest monsoon with high water content, and then forming snow clouds, thus snowfall. You Look, the imprints on the snowboard I have drawn here are quickly covered and filled by new snowflakes. Snow friends call powder snow "JAPOW".

Yu Mian listened carefully to her introduction of the basic situation here, put on the snow gear first, and then tried to walk with one foot fixed on the snowboard, go uphill and brake to stop.

After more than an hour of practice, Yu Mian was already able to slide for a short distance proficiently, and the coach took them up the mountain by cable car.

First of all, you have to practice Z-shaped walking. From the practice all the way up the mountain to the downhill, Yu Mian has learned to stop in the side skating of facing the valley and facing the mountain. When the coach needs to hold hands and teach her how to turn the veneer, Pei Songxi said with a smile: " Let me do it."

Yu Mian blinked, and when she walked in front of her, she asked in a low voice, "Aunt Pei? Are you teaching me?"

Pei Songxi nodded: "Give me your hand."

Yu Mian was stunned for a moment, and handed her hands, obviously wearing gloves, but she still felt embarrassed at that moment, and didn't dare to look directly at her: "I'm a little afraid of falling..."

Pei Songxi checked the snow equipment she was wearing, and then looked at her snowboard: "Wrestling is inevitable. When I was learning before, my whole knee was blue. Would you be afraid?"

Yu Mian shook her head: "Not afraid! When did you come to learn?"

Pei Songxi was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be very early. I came to learn when I was very young. There are parent-child programs in the ski resort. I came with my family at that time. When I grew up, I also came with Ming Ran and the others."

Yu Mian smiled, and said in a brisk tone, "From now on, you will come with me!"

Pei Songxi smiled helplessly and indulgently: "Okay, we'll all come with you."

When she was leading her to learn how to turn on the single board, as soon as the side skid on the mountain came to a stop, Yu Mian would brake in a panic. When the speed was too fast, she would panic: "Too fast! Aunt Pei!"

Pei Songxi's voice was as calm and peaceful as ever: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Hearing her voice, Yu Mian felt very at ease, and instantly became less nervous. As soon as her concentration was relaxed, she immediately knelt down in the snow, and due to her inertia, she leaned forward and buried her entire face in the snow.

She sat up flopping, blinked her eyes, and her voice was rarely arrogant: "Aunt Pei! Because of your words, I fell down!"

Pei Songxi came over and held out his hand to her: "Does it hurt from the fall?"

Yu Mian sat on the ground and couldn't get up: "It hurts!"

"Where did it hurt?"

"you guess!"

Yu Mian looked up at her and smiled, revealing a pair of bright and clear eyes in the ski cap, with the end of the eyes curved, staring at her.

Pei Songxi saw that she was acting like a baby just now, and waved her hand: "Aren't you really going to get up? If I don't get up, I'll leave?"

Yu Mian looked at her nervously: "Ah? Are you really leaving?"

Pei Songxi was amused by her like this, and there was an unconcealable smile in her voice. She bent down and took her hand, holding it tightly: "Don't go, you're kidding, get up, and continue learning."

Yu Mian liked the way she took the initiative to hold her hand, stood up from the ground, patted the snow on her body, and continued to study.

After she could learn basic study skills, Pei Songxi asked the coach to accompany her first, and then do some basic exercises.

And she herself went up to a higher place and slid down.She obviously has a lot of experience. When sliding down the mountain, she was as fast as a flash of lightning, and she slipped through the sight in a flash, her posture was elegant, but full of strength.

Yu Mian opened her eyes in surprise, and looked at her motionlessly.For example, during the summer vacation when she entered middle school, when she saw Pei Songxi coming on horseback, she felt very shocked. This kind of Auntie Pei was rarely seen in her daily life. It was like a sharp knife out of its sheath, with a heroic beauty. .

After skating two rounds, Pei Songxi stopped: "It's time, Mianmian."

There is a ski resort hotel in the resort area, but considering that Yu Mian had never been to Hokkaido when booking a room before, she chose a hotel in the urban area so that she could take her around the city.

Yu Mian was a little unsatisfied: "I just learned it, can I still come tomorrow?"

Pei Songxi nodded: "Of course, the return ticket has not yet been set. As long as you finish your homework, we can go back on the last day of our vacation."

Aunt Pei teased her about homework again!

Yu Mian pretended not to hear: "The wind is too strong! I can't hear clearly!"

But her pair of clear eyes are clearly cunning and bright, hiding a little pride and arrogance, she is sure that she has nothing to do with herself.

She is so happy all day.When I go out to play with Aunt Pei, I don't have to see other people, I don't have to stare at the empty living room in a daze every time I go back, and I don't have to think about those things that... were touched by her, but I deliberately avoided them in the end.

On the way back, Yu Mian kept lying on the car window watching the night scene outside, with the corners of her mouth raised.

Pei Songxi chose a roadside Japanese-style izakaya, a private restaurant run by a husband and wife. The decoration style is simple and elegant. There are not many people eating inside, gentle light music is played, and the lights are warm.

Pei Songxi went in first, just in time to meet Wen Zhizhen waving at her, and she walked over with Yu Mian: "I have a friend here, let's have dinner together."

Yu Mian walked behind her, a smile froze on her face instantly... friend... male friend.

Is it the one she went to meet at night in a skirt and heels?

Pei Songxi walked a few steps forward, only to realize that she hadn't followed, and turned around to call her, "Mianmian? Are you sorry?"

Yu Mian shook her head: "...No. I just...just haven't met strangers much."

Pei Songxi took her shoulders and led her inside: "It's okay, don't be nervous, he has a very good personality, and he is a friend I have known for many years."

Yu Mian silently listened to her evaluation of this strange man.Yes, he has a very good personality, so... Aunt Pei is willing to be with him.

Not long after Wen Zhizhen arrived here, he only ordered a pot of tea, and when he saw Pei Songxi bringing the little girl in, he stood up and smiled at her: "Is this Yu Mian?"

Yu Mian didn't want to talk to him, didn't want to see him, but out of politeness, she nodded: "Hello."

Wen Zhizhen smiled, his light-colored pupils were full of light, and that smile was also very beautiful: "You don't have to be too polite, my name is Wen Zhizhen, and I'm your aunt Pei's friend."

Yu Mian lowered her head and said nothing.

Pei Songxi sensed Yu Mian's faint resistance, and was a little puzzled. After thinking about it, she was probably angry that she brought her to see her friend without telling her first.When ordering, she patted the back of her hand lightly: "Mianmian?"

Yu Mian looked up at her, then quickly lowered her head: "I'm hungry."

Wen Zhizhen pushed the menu to her: "See what you want to eat."

He is a person with an excellent sense of proportion. He didn't call her by nickname with Pei Songxi, but he always paid attention to her feelings, let her order first, and even asked which one is more suitable for young people when ordering drinks. girl drinking.

The more gentle and generous he is, the more uncomfortable Yu Mian feels... She doesn't want to admit it, but she has to admit that she can't find any faults in this person from appearance to personality to the small details of getting along with him.

So... Aunt Pei likes him very much, right?

Would it be better without her—foreign land, wind and snow, old people, it sounds beautiful.

Yu Mian has always liked Japanese food, but this meal was tasteless.Pei Songxi obviously noticed that she was in a bad mood and kept talking to her softly. Wen Zhizhen also took care of her mood and only said a few words occasionally.

The more this happened, the more depressed Yu Mian felt... It was like two adults quietly watching a child lose his temper. She was so disappointed in herself, but she couldn't laugh.

When she finally finished the meal, she felt as if she had been subjected to a public execution, and her cheeks were hot.After coming out of the izakaya, the heat on his cheeks dropped a little after being blown by the cold wind.

Wen Zhizhen stood on the side of the road and asked them, "Where do you live? I'll take you back."

Before Pei Songxi could speak, Yu Mian had already quietly clenched the corners of her clothes. She sensed her emotions and shook her head: "No need, you go back first."

"Okay, let's go a little further, it's not easy to hail a car here."

Wen Zhizhen walked outside in a gentlemanly manner, the street lights fell on his face, his eyebrows were particularly deep, and he smiled and introduced to them the parks worth visiting, authentic Japanese food and beautiful scenic spots nearby. He seemed to be familiar with this place.

Yu Mian did not speak the whole time, but tightly held Pei Songxi's hand, between her and Wen Zhizhen.

She hates other men being near her.

Wen Zhizhen sometimes thinks that this little girl is very interesting, with a good personality and upbringing, but there is a little domineering in every action, as if she is declaring some kind of sovereignty.

Strangely, Songxi didn't seem to notice it at all.

He smiled and saw her every move, but his expression was always gentle and smiling. He sent them to the intersection, called a car for them, and waved his hand at the side of the road: "Be careful on the road."

Pei Songxi rolled down the car window: "Zhizhen, you should go back early too."

Yu Mian reluctantly said goodbye.When the car started, she kept looking back from the car window, and could see him standing at the street corner, standing in the light snow on a winter night, watching them leave.

When he could no longer be seen, Yu Mian met Pei Songxi's gaze as soon as she turned around.

Pei Songxi asked her: "Mianmian, you are a little unhappy tonight, aren't you?"

Yu Mian said no: "No... this restaurant is delicious."

Pei Songxi didn't believe her words and looked at her directly: "Is it because I didn't tell you that I brought you to meet my friends?"

Perhaps adolescent children have extremely strong self-esteem and need the respect of others.

Yu Mian wanted to say no, but held back and nodded silently.

Except for this reason... She couldn't express those sad emotions that she didn't want to express.

She can't be so selfish and ask Aunt Pei to make this kind of compromise for her sake - everyone has their own life.

It's just... the emotions that she had deliberately suppressed for the past six months seemed to surge into her heart silently at this moment, and she clearly knew that she shouldn't, she couldn't.
