Chapter 42: The Circle of Friends Who Forgot to Block (Second Update)
Irkutsk, as the capital of Eastern Siberia, has long been known as the "Little Paris of Siberia".
The weather was exceptional on the day we departed.
The plane from Moscow to Irkutsk is more than 5 hours.
We arrived in the city of Irkutsk at about four o'clock in the afternoon.
In Irkutsk in summer, the sky is very blue, and the white clouds are like the marshmallows that I loved when I was a child.
The buildings are old and the roads are in disrepair. There are rails and trolleybuses running through the streets, and cables and wires are intertwined, giving it a taste of history.
This is the city where Lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world and the largest reservoir in the world, is located.
Before I arrived, I made a plan in advance, and then booked a hotel room called "MarxHote" on Booking, which is also a temporary nest for us to stay in for the next month.
The hotel can be checked in after 14 o'clock, so Wu Yuxin and I rushed to the hotel first.
MarxHote is located in the heart of the city, in a small courtyard, in a quiet and good location, surrounded by a huge 24-hour supermarket and a famous central square. Due to its proximity to residential areas, there is also a fairly large vegetable market.
The hotel room is very simple and the bed is very comfortable. All of this is what Wu Yuxin and I like the most.
After checking in, we went to the room to drop off our luggage and then went downstairs.
The hotel front desk sister is beautiful and super eye-catching.
Wu Yuxin and I asked her to help us call a taxi in advance when we checked in.
By the way, the means of transportation here.
In Irkutsk, the local population generally travels by bus. If you want to take a taxi, you need to call the taxi company in advance to make an appointment, and the cost is about 200 rubles.
After a long day's journey, we are now hungry, and we really don't have the heart to take the bus to experience the local customs. At this moment, feeding the stomachs of the two of them first is the most important and realistic thing at the moment.
We got into a taxi and headed to Figaro, the number one restaurant in Irkutsk on Tripadvisor.
Figaro Restaurant is located on Karl Marx Avenue and specializes in Italian cuisine.
The restaurant is in a great location and has a simple and modern dΓ©cor. The most noteworthy thing is that the tableware is really very exquisite, just like a work of art.
The owner and waiters are very welcoming, and their smiles make people feel like "they are our family".
Once we sat down, we ordered a beef salad with a high rating on the Internet, steak for the main course, fried pork neck with red wine sauce and creamy mashed potatoes, and forest berry black tea for the drink.
Although the food was served a little slowly, while looking at the handsome service guy in the restaurant, chatting happily with Wu Yuxin, and drinking forest berry black tea with natural flower and fruit aroma, my mood was unusually calm and happy.
At this time, I don't know what Ouyang Yan is doing?
I took out my phone and looked at the time, and it was almost time to get off work in China.
Since there are other guests in the restaurant, there are other guests who are eating quietly.
I'm really embarrassed to call in such an environment.
So I took out my mobile phone, I called WeChat and clicked on Ouyang Yan's avatar.
I smiled happily and said, "Senior brother, I've arrived." β
Ouyang Yan immediately replied to the message: "Baby, are you tired?"
I replied with a flying kiss: "It's okay, I'm waiting for the food to be served in Figaro." β
"You're really good at picking restaurants. Ouyang Yan came over with a heartfelt expression.
"That's right. I sent a smug smile and said, "Who is my sister?" β
Ouyang Yan should have been amused by me, and sent a smile and a kiss: "Yes, yes, my Mengning baby is a super gourmet, then remember to take me to eat next time." β
I said I would think about it: "It depends on your sincerity." β
Ouyang Yan's aggrieved expression popped up: "What kind of performance do you want, baby?"
I teased him with a smile: "Kiss one." β
Ouyang Yan sent a voice, which was a kiss over the phone.
I smiled happily.
Ouyang Yan came over with a blinking expression: "Sincere enough, right?"
I said, "Okay. β
Ouyang Yan sent a rose and a kiss over.
I put a question mark on it and sent it to him, and then asked, "What are you doing now? Are you going to get off work?"
Ouyang Yan replied: "It's almost, you can leave after this matter is dealt with." β
I kissed him: "Then you go back early, remember to eat." β
Ouyang Yan replied: "Got it, my little housekeeper." β
The corners of my mouth are sweet smiles throughout the whole process, and there is a strong warmth in my heart, which also fully expresses my nature.

Wu Yuxin, who was sitting directly across from me, saw that I was proud of the spring breeze and looked stupid like a nymphomaniac, and I really couldn't stand it.
"Hey, hey, hey, come back to your senses, come back to your senses. Wu Yuxin stretched out her hand and waved in front of my eyes, "This young lady, although you are full of spring breeze, you are proud of your love. However, can I trouble you, don't forget that there is a lovelorn person sitting in front of you!"
"Oops, I almost forgot about you. I looked at Wu Yuxin embarrassedly.
"What's the matter?" Wu Yuxin looked at him ambiguously and said, "I finally can't hold it anymore, I'm with Ouyang Yan." ββ
Wu Yuxin's ridicule made a red cloud immediately appear on my face.
I nodded.
"Actually, on the first day you came to Moscow, the moment I saw the two of you standing together at the airport, I felt that you two were a special match. Wu Yuxin put away her indecent smile and said solemnly, "Later, when you were sick and hospitalized, he took care of you without sleep, and I think that although this man doesn't talk much, he is a very restrained and reliable person." Believe me as an outsider, be with him, and you will be very happy. β
"I know, don't worry, sister, I'll take care of it. I said shyly.
"It's a pity that I don't know where my real Hani is squatting, why hasn't he shown up yet?" Wu Yuxin probably remembered the previous experience again, quite sad.
I stretched out my hand, shook Wu Yuxin tightly, and comforted her: "Surely in the near future, there will be that person who cherishes you, and you have to have confidence in yourself." β
At this time, the food we ordered was finally served.
I patted Wu Yuxin's hand: "Sister, let's eat first, the most important thing to do at this time is: turn grief into appetite." β
Wu Yuxin looked at me and smiled: "Yes, it's not worth it to skip meals for that kind of slut." Come on, let's get moving. β
After dinner, we walked out of the restaurant.
It was already evening in Irkutsk at this time.
Wu Yuxin and I walked along Marx Avenue to the Angara River, and then took a slow walk along the riverside.
The Angara River, known as the daughter of Lake Baikal, is clear and fast-flowing.
But today the Angara River at sunset is quiet and charming.
The water and sky are colorful, and the beautiful scenery is current, which is really unforgettable.
It's 7 p.m., and there are still many sports enthusiasts running or walking along the riverside. Everywhere is a healthy, peaceful scene.
Watching the sunset reflected on the water surface of the Angara River, my heart exploded with a new understanding of life.
In the past, I was selfish, unable to accept any advice against my ears, and it was even more difficult for me to face up to any mistakes I made.
Who knows, all the people in this world who are too self-conscious will only end up in a fiasco.
I made up my mind that in the future, I must be a person who can listen to advice and distinguish between right and wrong. Strive to cherish the people in front of you and keep the kindness and love in your heart. I believe that in the near future, the things I have done and the time I cherish with my heart will become a cluster of gorgeous roses after I have carefully watered them.
Wu Yuxin and I took pictures while walking, and the two of them also mischievously posted photos of each other with grimaces to the circle of friends.
I rarely post on Moments.
As soon as I posted it this time, I immediately had a bunch of friends like and comment below.
"Lin Mengning, where are you chic?"
"Lin Mengning, you're getting more and more beautiful. β
"Lin Mengning, did you go to Lake Baikal?"
β¦β¦
It turns out that there are really so many friends who have been silently paying attention to and caring for me.
I replied to everyone's comments one by one with gratitude.
When I saw that my mutual friend with Chen Xiao was also among the commenters, I was shocked: "Damn, I forgot to block them, it's over!"
