Although the New Year's Day holiday is only three days, it is the only expectation for ordinary office workers in the busy year-end work.

Qi Min originally planned to be paralyzed at home for three days, but he saw on WeChat that someone in the group of his high school classmates proposed to get together on New Year's Day. She has never been very accustomed to organizing events, but according to the usual practice, the few guys who like to carry big flags have already discussed the arrangements for the party: this year's novelty is to go skating in Shichahai at one o'clock in the afternoon, and then over there. Find a place to eat.

Qi Min told Anton that she was going to a class reunion, and Anton only complained. Since he was a child, he was influenced by the previous Chinese restaurant owner, mainly celebrating the Spring Festival and not paying much attention to New Year's Day.

However, when she was about to have breakfast after washing up the next day, she received a call from Yelena.

Qi Min thought it was just an ordinary New Year's greeting, so she picked it up and said in her plastic Russian, which only knew a few words: "Сновымгодом, Лена!"

"Happy New Year, Min!" Yelena's voice sounded quite excited, "I'm in Beijing - sorry I didn't tell you in advance, in fact, I suddenly decided to go to China......"

"What? Where are you now? Qi Min couldn't help but be surprised.

"I'm at Capital International Airport." Yelena said happily, "I think, when are we going to meet?" ”

"Wait......" Qi Min glanced at Anton, and hurriedly took his mobile phone to the balcony and said, "Lianna, have you booked a hotel in Beijing?" ”

"No, I suddenly remembered that the team between Russia and China is visa-free, and I just happened to have a tour group to apply." Yelena said, "Self-guided travel. ”

"Uh......" Qi Min only felt that she was too inconsiderate, could this be the personality of the Russians? Is there anyone in Beijing to pick you up? ”

"Nope." Yelena said as a matter of course, "I'm just going to have a vacation time." ”

Qi Min had to say, "That'...... Shall I pick you up? ”

"Okay." Yelena was not ambiguous.

Qi Min hung up the phone, and when he looked up, he saw Anton looking over with a bowl of porridge. She suddenly felt a little weak, and then thought that he really had no improper relationship with Yelena, and Anton felt that Yelena was a pedophile was simply his imagination, so what was there to be in the heart?

Qi Min came out of the balcony, sat back on the table with a bowl of porridge, and helped Mimi peel an egg.

"How's it going, when are you leaving?" Anton asked.

Qi Min just wanted to explain how she was going to pick up Yelena in the morning, but when he asked, he seemed to forget that she only went to the party in the afternoon, and just said, "I'll leave immediately." ”

"Didn't you just go skating?" Anton asked again.

Turns out he remembers. Qi Minxin said that this is digging a pit for her? But I also want to know how Anton could have predicted that Yelena was coming, it was just because she was weak-hearted.

"I ...... Let's go to school first. Qi Min said confusedly, "That...... At the end of the year, there will be a laboratory safety inspection. ”

"Not coming back for dinner at noon?" Anton asked.

"I'm not coming back." Qi Min buried his head in drinking porridge and said a little guiltily.

——

Seeing Yelena at the T3 terminal of the Capital Airport, Qi Min saw a slender young Slavic girl wearing a gray jacket and denim pencil pants and a large hiking bag coming out of it from a distance, and behind her was a large group of obese elderly Americans dragging large bags and small bags - it seemed that it was indeed a tourist group.

Yelena also saw Qi Min, and immediately ran over in small steps and hugged her firmly, almost knocking Qi Min on his head.

In fact, Yelena is about the same height as Qi Min, but the weight of her bag has obviously increased her momentum a lot.

"Lena, have you had breakfast?" Qi Min was also in a good mood when she saw the beautiful girl, "Do you want to eat something at the airport?" ”

"Breakfast is served on the plane." Yelena was also quite happy to see Qi Min again, "Of course, if you want to invite me to eat, of course I don't mind." ”

Qi Min looked at the time, it was not even ten o'clock, it was too late for breakfast at this time, and it was too early for lunch. So he said, "I'll help you book a hotel first." You'll leave your stuff at the hotel first, and then I'll treat you to lunch – by the way, Lena, do you have anything you want to eat? ”

"Uh......" Yelena thought for a moment and said with some embarrassment, "No...... What are the specialties of Beijing? Chinese пельмени? ”

"What is пельмени?" Qi Min asked.

"That's it...... A type of Dumplings. Yelena gestured with her hand in a "pinching" motion.

"You mean dumplings." Qi Min understood, "Dumplings are too common in China and are not considered a specialty of Beijing. You find a place to put your bag down, and I'll take you to eat something really special. ”

Yelena simply booked a homestay not far from Qi Min's school on Airbnb, and then took a taxi to drop off her luggage.

In the car, Qi Min asked her why she suddenly wanted to come to Beijing, and Yelena said bluntly: "My paper was sent out, and I had nothing to do on vacation, so I went out to travel." ”

"Congratulations!" Qi Min smiled and patted her on the shoulder, but didn't ask how she was doing. She and Yelena are completely fox friends and dog friends, and they don't talk about business with each other, they just think about eating, drinking and having fun. "Hey, why don't you spend Christmas in Petersburg?"

(Note: Russian Orthodox Christmas on January 7)

"Don't want to stay there." Yelena waved her hand, "I broke up." ”

"Why?" Qi Min couldn't help but be a little surprised. She remembered that Yelena's boyfriend was still her classmate when she was an undergraduate, and the family also had a little money, so she should be a good marriage partner in Russia.

"Alas. I now think you're right. Yelena sighed, "There is no money to make, but the other half is not good-looking, and it is really upset to look at it." ”

Hearing this, Qi Min couldn't help laughing, but still said, "Appearance is not everything." ”

"It's not like what you say." Yelena laughed at her, and said quite seriously, "I thought about it and thought it would be better to find an Asian girlfriend." - Don't get me wrong, Min, you are one of my most important friends, and I will not tarnish our friendship. And I'm looking for a younger girl. ”

If this kind of thing were to be said by a Caucasian man, Qi Min would definitely feel physically uncomfortable, and thought it was a contempt for Asians. But the person who said this was Yelena, and as a friend, Qi Min felt understandable. After all, Yelena has always put her view of mate selection on the bright side, and the idea of finding a young and beautiful Asian girlfriend is superficial, but if it is a beauty like Yelena, it is actually quite a match.

Qi Min teased her: "How young do you want to be?" Bachelor's degree graduates? ”

"Do you think you can find a younger one? You graduated from high school at the age of eighteen, right? Yelena asked.

Qi Min couldn't help frowning: "Let's not talk about whether you can find it, why do you have to find such a small one?" ”

"It's not illegal, is it?" Yelena said, "Although Asians look young, many adult girls still look like girls......
