Chapter 16 Bolle Mountain in November
Born in the south, Su Xiaoxiao has a natural sense of novelty about snow.
In 2008, there was a heavy snowfall in Nanjing. Overnight, the ground, the eaves, and the roof of the car were covered with thick white snowflakes.
One Saturday afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao excitedly knocked on the door of Yan Yimo's house, wanting to ask him to go downstairs to play in the snow. It happened that Yan Yimo's family came to discuss chemistry homework that day, and several older children took Su Xiaoxiao, a child, to play together.
The cold snowflakes fell on his face and fell on his eyelashes, and then slowly turned into small droplets, Su Xiaoxiao happily ran and jumped in the snow, rubbed a big snowball and threw it at Yan Yimo's back, giggling gloatingly.
Of course, in the end, Su Xiaoxiao was also thrown and begged for mercy.
After that, everyone built a snowman together. The snowman's arms were made of picked up branches, the downstairs neighbor's grandmother gave them carrots to make noses, Su Xiaoxiao went home and took red dates for eyes, and Yan Yimo's mother gave Su Xiaoxiao a red woolen scarf and asked her to wrap the snowman around it to don't catch a cold.
The snowman stood in the snow for more than a week, and every day Su Xiaoxiao had to say hello and chat with him when he went to school and came home from school.
This is Su Xiaoxiao's fondest memory of winter.
"Let's go skiing this weekend!" After class on Thursday, Alice proposed, "This weekend the film club organizes a skiing trip." Andrew said he could bring a friend along. ”
"Okay, okay, I haven't skied yet, I'll sign up!"
Su Xiaoxiao signed up for the first time, and she was very interested in everything related to snow.
"Then I'll go too!"
Lisa also had no experience skiing outdoors. There is an indoor ski resort in her hometown, and in winter, adults take their children to it, and there are so many people like dumplings that there is no chance to experience it properly.
"Kaka, what about you, do you want to come with us?" Alice looked at Jessica expectantly.
"I'm not going to go this time, I'm going to have a dinner at the food club on the weekend, and by the way, I will talk about the plan to open a foodie account in the future. As you know, I've always wanted to open my own food account, so I wanted to hear about it first. ”
Jessica's tone was a little regretful, "Whatever! Have fun, don't forget to send me a picture! ”
It was clear that she was also looking forward to the discussion at the food club on Saturday.
"Uh-huh, that's okay. Let's explore the path first, and we'll go together next time we have the chance! ”
Everyone didn't force it, so they decided happily.
The place they were going to ski was in the Bole Mountains, not far from the university. In the summer, it is a great place for outdoor activities, and in the winter, it becomes a paradise for skiers in L.
After class on Friday, Su Xiaoxiao, Lisa and Alice went to Mason Department Store to buy a set of ski clothes and ski goggles gloves, and planned to go to the ski resort to rent skis, ski boots and protective hats.
On Saturday morning, twenty minutes before the meeting time, the three of them arrived at the meeting place early to wait. Su Xiaoxiao looked around, and saw a familiar tall figure from a distance, isn't this Jennifer!
"Zhenzhen!"
Su Xiaoxiao beckoned to her warmly. Su Xiaoxiao was fully armed today, Jennifer didn't recognize her at first, and when she got closer, she realized that it was Su Xiaoxiao.
"Ahhh You're here too! ”
Jennifer happily shook Su Xiaoxiao's hand, "Frank is from the film club, and he didn't pull me to accompany him." Hey, why haven't you heard him say that you're also in the film club? ”
"No," Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved her hand, pulled Alice and Lisa, introduced Jennifer to them first, and then said, "This is Lisa and Alice, Alice is a member of the film club, let's follow the skiing hahaha." ”
"I see, next time I'll ask my boyfriend to tell Andrew to take care of you." Jennifer said with a smile at Alice.
Alice didn't know if she was frozen or shy, and her cheeks were slightly red.
Several people were talking and laughing in the car, and soon arrived at the Bole Mountain Ski Resort. The temperature on the mountain was obviously much lower than that under the mountain, and Su Xiaoxiao shivered, his eyes full of anticipation.
After buying the all-day ski ticket, Andrew took Su Xiaoxiao and the three of them to rent ski equipment. Today, most of the students who came to the film club were juniors and seniors, and everyone was equipped with their own equipment and brought them, and only the three of them were skiing for the first time.
"See you later~"
Su Xiaoxiao waved at Jenn, and followed her to the place where the ski equipment was rented.
Andrew walked in front with Alice, you and I were very happy to talk, Su Xiaoxiao and Lisa followed behind and secretly gossiped about them, and imitated their movements from time to time.
"Do you want to skate or ski?"
Andrew suddenly turned around and asked Su Xiaoxiao and Lisa, startling them, but quickly came back to their senses.
"Veneers!"
Without even thinking about it, this option was reported at the same time.
We discussed it last night, and if you want to skate, you can skate the coolest! Before going to bed, the three of them also watched video tutorials on YouTube to study how to brake skis, how to rub snow, and how to ski S-shaped routes.
“Ok。”
Andrew led them into the room where the ski equipment was set, asked them to sit on a bench next to him and wait for him, then turned around and went to talk to the clerk about what equipment they needed.
"Aris, you have a good eye!" Su Xiaoxiao elbowed Alice and whispered, "Sasa and I just gave you an appraisal." Sunshine, will take care of people, standard five good youth. Oh yes," Su Xiaoxiao added, "I still know that movies can be romantic, what are you waiting for, get married soon!" ”
Lisa also made a thumbs-up gesture and looked at Alice with a meaningful smile.
Before Alice could speak, Andrew returned, handing them three of them with three protective hats in his hand. "I don't know how many sizes of shoes you want to wear, so I didn't take them first, so you can try which size is right."
"Okay, thank you, senior!"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled evilly, looked at Alice again, and walked towards the shoe rack.
Seeing such big ski boots for the first time, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, it is estimated that the three of them will not be able to walk when they change into ski boots, but as soon as the shoes are on their feet, they immediately have the feeling of skiing. is different from the shoes she usually wears, Su Xiaoxiao feels that after changing into ski boots, she has something to protect herself on the soles of her feet, and she will not fall down if she deliberately leans back, which is particularly safe.
"Go go, friends, let's go!"
Lisa put on her shoes and couldn't wait to rush to the slopes.
Ever since she saw a photo posted on the Internet last year of going skiing in Niseko, Hokkaido, she really wanted to try her hand at open-air skiing, and it was super cool to think about it while watching the scenery along the way while skiing from the top of the mountain.
"Haha, okay, you all be careful."
Andrew laughs and takes them to the beginner's run.
I thought I could do it when I was wearing ski boots just now, but as soon as I got on the snowboard, I felt completely different.
Alice had just put one foot on the snowboard, ready to imitate the movement of skiing, and fell into a squat.
"Oops! Why is the snow so slippery! ”
Alice sat on the floor and laughed, causing Andrew to laugh, holding her by the arm and pulling her up, encouraging, "You can practice a few more times." Well, Jenn hasn't been learning snowboarding for a long time. ”
Looking in the direction of Andrew's finger, Frank was facing away from them, patiently teaching Jenn how to skate. He grabbed Jenn's hand tightly with both hands, and Jenn seemed to enjoy the thrill while she was a little nervous.
Jenn and Andrew are so nice! Su Xiaoxiao was happy for Zhenzhen in her heart, but she unconsciously thought of Yan Yimo.
Although Su Xiaoxiao would say good night to her on the phone every day before going to bed, no matter how busy Yan Yimo was, this feeling was still different from being by her side. Su Xiaoxiao always wants to eat with Mr. Yi when she eats delicious things, and when she sees good-looking clothes, she will also fantasize about what Yan Yimo will look like. Now Su Xiaoxiao thinks that it would really be more perfect if Yan Yimo could accompany her to ski.
I really hope to see Mr. Yi again soon.
Su Xiaoxiao and Lisa helped each other to move up the uphill conveyor belt, smiling at Alice behind them.
I don't know how she did it today, the motor nerve is particularly off-line. Andrew wanted to laugh when he saw her cute, but he was afraid of hurting the girl's self-esteem, so he had to hold it all the way, helping Alice all the way, and he didn't feel at ease when he got on the conveyor belt.
Sure enough, the IQ of people in love is zero, but I didn't expect that the motor cells would be damaged.
"Xiaoxiao, look at Aris, I guess she's not far from getting off the list."
Lisa was in a particularly good mood today, and she made a rare joke. Su Xiaoxiao also giggled when she looked at Alice's appearance, and reached out to hold the escalator of the conveyor belt steadily, for fear that she would laugh too hard and be unsteady, so she slipped down.
Throughout the day, the three of them practiced hard for a long time in Andrew's company, and finally learned how to slide down the beginner path upright.
Although they couldn't rub the snow, didn't ski the S curve, and didn't ski from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, although they went home sore and rested for a whole week, Su Xiaoxiao and the others still liked their first experience of skiing in November.
After returning to the dormitory after skiing in the snow, the three of them held a video of themselves sliding down the slope and chatted with Jessica for a while.
Compared with the satisfaction that is easy to get, Su Xiaoxiao seems to cherish the hard-won happiness more.
