"Awake? I went downstairs. "At seven o'clock in the morning, the message from Sioux City came on time.

"Well, ready, I'll go downstairs now." Su Xia wore thick snow boots, a thick windproof down jacket, scarves, gloves and hats and other cold protection equipment, and of course, the oversized travel bag also contained toiletries, hot spring swimsuits, silk nightdresses, etc.

After Su Xia went downstairs, a black Highlander in the parking space at the door opened the door, and Su Cheng walked quickly towards Su Xia and picked up the huge travel bag in Su Xia's hand.

"Thank you. Arrived early? ”

"No, I just arrived, and I gave you a message, and I'm afraid of waking you up."

"Who is sleeping so late?" Su Xia replied with a smile.

"It's hard to say, just in case you stay in bed on the weekend." Sioux City quipped.

The two got into the car, Su Cheng put the travel bag in the back seat, and Su Xia sat in the co-pilot.

"Have you eaten?" Susha asked.

"I drank a sip of warm water, ate an apple, and was not hungry."

"I brought you warm milk, sandwiches, and bread to eat if you're hungry."

"Really virtuous." Su Cheng turned his head and blinked, "Okay, I'll eat on the road in a moment." ”

The car drove out of the gate of the community, turned right onto the main road, and drove out of the third and fourth ring roads...... With an infinite stretch of lane, all the way to the north.

Looking out of the car window, the sky is gradually breaking, the pale blue sky is inlaid with a few remnant stars, and there are bursts of mist floating in the sky, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray, and the sky gradually reveals the white dawn of fish belly......

The occasional whizzing of cars next to it, the wide lane as far as the eye can see...... With the radio "boiling, restless, where are you going, via via...... the moon fades and the red sun rises, the music blends with the scenery. Su Xia inexplicably felt comfortable, after a long absence, the feeling of being on the road on the journey.

"It's a good day."

"Yes, knowing that we are going out, God is also moved."

Su Xia smiled, noncommittal. Instead, he asked, "Are you hungry, do you want something to eat?" ”

"I can't eat while driving."

"It's still three hours away, why don't I have a meeting, you eat, and we'll take turns."

"No, you have a good rest, I like to drive."

Su Xia no longer insisted on it.

"Why don't you feed me two." Su Cheng suddenly turned his head and said in an extremely cheerful tone.

Su Xia thought that she couldn't go hungry and drove for more than three hours without eating, and said, "I'll see what you can eat." "Thinking about what food will make it easier for him to put it in his mouth and not be embarrassed. Then he turned around and reached for the duffel bag in the back seat, took it, unzipped it, and opened it to take out an orange cloth bag, which contained the warmed sandwich and bread in the crisper box.

"Is it okay to eat sandwiches?"

"Okay, we're not picky eaters." Su Cheng said happily.

Su Xia wiped her hands with the disinfectant tissues that had been prepared in advance in her bag, and then took out the sandwich from the crisper and stuffed it into Su Cheng's mouth.

"Be careful that I choke on you." Susha quipped.

Sioux City took a big bite.

"Well, it's delicious."

"Swallow and drink the milk, don't really choke." Seeing that Su Cheng didn't finish swallowing, Su Xia's milk straw was inserted and handed to his mouth.

In this way, the three of them finished breakfast in one bite.

Su Xia packed up the garbage and sat quietly on the seat. The two chatted about skiing skills with each other. Su Xia was sleepy, "I didn't sleep well last night, squint for a while." ”

"Okay, let's sleep."

Su Xia tilted her head against the seat and slowly closed her eyes, her insomnia last night was too serious, and she fell asleep after a while.

The warm winter sun came in through the windshield, scattering on Su Xia's body, face, and hands, warm and bright. After sleeping for more than half an hour, Su Xia asked in a daze with his eyes half-open, "Where are you?" ”

"It's coming soon, and there's still ten minutes."

Su Xia suddenly sobered up, "Ah, there are still ten minutes!" Su Xia began to organize her backpack, pick up the garbage bags, put on her hat and gloves, etc.

The car drove into the parking lot after a while, saying that it was a parking lot, but in fact, it was just a particularly large and empty open space opposite the ski resort, in order to meet the needs of the peak flow of people. Nearly a third of the cars were already parked inside, which was a small number of people for Saturdays and Sundays during the holidays, because it came early after all.

"There don't seem to be many people."

"Well, we came early, just opened at nine o'clock."

With that, the two of them got dressed, put on their backpacks and walked towards the ski resort. Sioux City brought his own ski clothes, only rented skis, and accompanied Su Xia to rent ski clothes and ski equipment.

"Hello, I want a pair of ski gloves for men, and a full set of ski clothes, gloves and goggles for women."

"Minimum size." Susha added.

I thought that the rented ski clothes would be dirty and ugly, but the blue and white were unexpectedly clean and good-looking, and I felt less resistant to skiing. Women always care about this superficial thing.

"Come on, you try the length of this board first."

"It's tight, it's not easy to enter."

Su Cheng supported Su Xia with one hand, and slowly squatted down with the other, helping her put her feet in and adjust them.

"Is that okay? Is it small? ”

"Well, okay, not small."

"Okay, that's it."

Su Xia changed into ski clothes, Su Cheng went to change ski boots, and then came over to put on ski boots for Su Xia and stuck on skis. Su Xia struggled to move, afraid of falling at any time. I don't know when, the hands of the two people naturally pulled together, and Su Xia pulled Su Cheng's hand like a life-saving straw.

"There's ice in this area, slow down." Su Cheng clenched Su Xia's hand even more, staring hard at Su Xia selling those few kicks with all his might.

"Let's go to the practice area and practice on the ground, and I'll teach you."

"Okay."

With Su Cheng so close, even dependent, Su Xia's tone of voice became a little unnatural, so he gave a short answer.

Step by step, I moved to the practice area with great difficulty, and found a flat land where no one was around.

"Come, learn the preparatory posture first. The skis open. Su Xia's feet did not obey the call, and opened them carefully.

"To relax, you can slowly try to move your legs, toes, shift your center of gravity, etc., and get used to feeling the feeling of wearing ski boots and snowboards." Su Xia did so.

"Look up at the front, your back straight and relaxed, your arms relaxed, your elbows bent, and your hands forward. Relax your knees and spread them slightly apart, with your weight on your feet. As he spoke, he instructed Su Xia.

"Okay, that's it, keep the boards parallel and move forward with the help of a cane."

As he spoke, Su Xia could already move forward slowly. "Look, I can move, haha." Su Xia said excitedly, but it can only be said to be moving rather than sliding, the distance is pitiful, only two steps.

After practicing like this repeatedly for a while, Su Xia was not so afraid, but was happy to control the skis.

"Then let's go to the ramp next to it."

"Okay, choose a smaller slope." Su Xia was still a little cautious, and when it came to the ramp, he immediately felt cowardly.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll protect you." Seeing Su Xia's soft look, Su Cheng smiled.

The two of them came to the top of a large ramp in the practice area. As far as the eye can see, there are those who ride the track up the mountain, there are those who draw a beautiful "Z" shape from the high snow slope and slide down rapidly, and the snowflakes like smoke burst out behind their feet, and the bright sun shines on every figure flying on the crystal land, which is as beautiful as a painting.

"When will I be able to skate like that?" Su Xia looked at it and thought, full of envy.

"Those are all veteran skiers who have been playing for many years." Su Cheng seemed to see through Su Xia's thoughts.

"Come, I'll slide down first, show you, and then you can slide down according to the essentials of the movements you just practiced. The body is downward, the center of gravity is leaning forward, and the two boards can be braked when they are crossed. ”

"I'm a little scared."

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you underneath, even if you fall, I'll be a human cushion. I'm going down. With that, Su Cheng swooped down.

Stopped below, waved at Su Xia and shouted, "Slide, there is no one on either side now." ”

Su Xia was still scared, she couldn't say how serious her fear of heights was, but she was afraid of some adventurous games, especially coming down from a high place, although in terms of skiing, this was not a height at all, but for Su Xia, it was tantamount to a super roller coaster that made her tremble. Su Xia took a deep breath, closed his eyes, opened them again, looked at Su Cheng not far away, gritted his teeth and slid forward.

"Ahhh......h She panicked and shouted "Sioux City!" ”

Sioux City ran to her, shouting "Stop!" ”

Su Xia forcefully crossed the two skateboards together and stopped. At this time, Su Cheng ran over and hugged her, but Su Xia's ass had already fallen heavily on the snow.

"Are you alright?"

"My ass hurts......," Su Xia complained to Su Cheng aggrievedly.

"Does it hurt?" As he spoke, he held Su Xia's waist with one hand and pulled it up with the other, "Do you still practice?" ”

"Let's practice again, I feel a little bit now, otherwise Bai Xuebai will fall!" Su Xia looked unwilling.

Su Cheng laughed, "Okay! Don't be afraid to fall, relax. Who learns to ski without falling, and learning to swim has to choke on water. ”

As he spoke, he walked up the slope. The number of people in the practice area gradually increased, some tried cautiously, those who stood and chatted, and more of them slid down in various positions like Su Xia just now, and no one would pay attention to whether you fell or not, because everyone was comparable.

"Okay, come down!" Su Cheng shouted at Su Xia not far away.

"Here we are." Su Xia became more and more relaxed, leaning forward, and the snowball fight was forcefully back, "Ah-" Su Xia shouted and slid straight forward, without time to brake, and Su Cheng collided with Su Cheng with a sound of "Ping", Su Cheng stumbled, hugged Su Xia tightly, and stopped. Through the thick ski clothes, Su Xia felt an instant suffocation and solidification in the air, and a strange aura spread.

"Hmm...... This time the skating is good, it's a straight line! That...... Do you want to keep practicing or take a break? Su Cheng lowered his head and asked Su Xia softly in his arms.

"Hmm......" Su Xia replied as she slowly separated from Su Cheng's body, trying to cover it up in this silent way, as if nothing had happened just now, but it was very unnatural.

"I'll rest, you go skating for a while, I'll watch you down there." Su Xia said, firstly, to alleviate the slightest ambiguity just now, and secondly, it was indeed close to noon, and it had been nearly two hours in the snow resort, but Su Cheng had been teaching her, and she hadn't even gone on the slope once.

"Do you want to go skating together, try, I'll take you."

"Don't!" Thinking of such a long and high snow slope, Su Xia vetoed it extremely firmly, with coquettishness in his tone.

"Haha, okay, I'm going to skate two laps."

"I'm tired, sit and watch you slide."

"Okay, then you see me slippery." Su Cheng looked at the slopes, then pointed to the beginner trail closest to the practice area, and said, "I'm skiing right there, you can see it when you stand here." ”

"Okay."

"Rest for a while and continue practicing." Su Cheng shouted at Su Xia as he boarded the ropeway.

"Hmph, I'm afraid I'm lazy." Su Xia thought to herself.

Despite being the closest and lowest slope, it was completely unrecognizable to people after reaching the top, but Sioux City wore a red ski jacket that was instantly recognizable in the crowd. Su Xia kept watching, only to see that the red figure slid to the bottom of the snow slope, but he didn't have time to see it clearly. Su Cheng slid back and forth a few times, Su Xia had seen enough, and he slowly practiced by himself.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's almost time, let's go back." Su Cheng skated with Su Xia for a while, and Su Xia was already able to skate in short distances independently, which was a big gain for Su Xia.

"Okay, I don't have to listen to either leg."

"Well, I'll take you to a big meal to make up for it." The two of them only ate a few bites of light lunch at noon.

"Let's go eat hot pot, it's too cold." Su Xia said with some pity. In fact, I have been practicing, and the weather is very good, so I don't feel cold, but I always think that snowflakes and hot pot are more compatible, and it is happier to come out of the ski resort to eat a steaming hot pot.

"Good! There is a delicious hot pot right next to the hotel. Let's go to dinner first, and then go back to the hotel. ”
