Chapter 55: Accidents
Walking and walking in May, it was the first time Andre accompanied me to deliver the goods last May, and we started our relationship at that time, right? Over the past year, only the two of us can understand the twists and turns of our emotions.
In the last week of the end of April, the charming tulips are already blooming on the streets of Moscow, and people who have been surrounded by dark clouds and snow for half a year can't wait to get close to nature.
The students in the dormitory organized a spring outing and barbecue on Sundays. Andrei and I also participated.
Although spring looks like it's blooming, the temperature in Moscow at the end of April is still relatively low. I wore a thick denim outfit with a sweater underneath. After all, the temperature in the wild will be lower. AndrΓ© still wore his leather jacket and a white long-sleeved shirt underneath.
After a drive of more than 2 hours. We came to a river bay with a pleasant view. Everyone started to get busy barbecuing. After a while. Jin Li came over and said:
- "Linna, you tell Andrei that the water is too cold to swim this day, and that you better dissuade him from going into the water. It's going to cramp and it's dangerous. β
I found Andrei and saw that he was changing his clothes, and he actually brought swimming trunks and planned to swim today. In addition to our classmates, there are several waves of Russians who are also barbecuing here, and I don't see anyone going into the water. No matter how much I tried to persuade him, he just wouldn't listen. And he said, If I am not at ease, I will keep an eye on him by the river, so that he will be safe.
No one will listen to it. Everyone said worriedly that the most dangerous thing today is Andre, don't be careful, don't have any accidents.
I couldn't stop him, he went into the water, and I saw him shiver with cold. He smiled and said to me, it's okay.
I don't care about him! I thought to myself, it's up to him to live or die. I get angry when I look at him!
At this time, Li Bailing came over, Li Bailing and I complained about Andrei's stubbornness, Li Bailing said, I don't think anything will happen to him. Don't look at him and worry about it, let's row a boat.
I think it's right, let him flutter in the water by himself, if he can't find me, he will feel comfortable, I want to row with Bai Ling all the time, and let him wander here by himself when the time comes.
We chose a pretty big tandem pedal boat.
The boat sailed to the wide river, and Andrei was still waving to us in the water!
Bai Ling and I were riding on this boat while enjoying the scenery on both sides of the strait. The gentle wind and sunny surface of the river are indeed refreshing. Li Bailing said that with today's activities, she felt that life was meaningful, otherwise, she would be disgusted with the world every day in the market and in class. Li Bailing is very talkative, we chatted happily, and I am no longer angry with Andre.
The two of us walked along the river, and from time to time a speedboat passed by our boat. Both of our boats had rowed far away, both beyond the speedboat's activity area. Bai Ling and I are still proud, look at the ability of the two of us, in such a moment, we have drawn so far. It doesn't seem like we're that tired.
We were going to go back, but then we realized that our boat was out of control, we couldn't turn around, and the boat wasn't rowed by us, it was floating down the river, and we couldn't turn back, and there was no way to stop the boat from drifting. The boat drifted farther and farther away from our camp, and the two of us were anxious
γ I want to call Andrei, but there is no signal here.
What frightens us even more is that we see that the sun is about to sink in the west.
When we were almost in despair, Li Bailing found a boat, and Bai Ling beckoned them with her Little Red Riding Hood. We were spotted by the boaters, a couple and a child. Really appreciate the couple who helped us pull the boat to the river. We went ashore and finally stopped going downstream.
However, we have also moved too far from our camp. Although we docked on the same side as our camp, we were so far away that our way back along the river bank was blocked by a barred net.
By this time, it was already getting dark. Li Bailing said that he went to see if he could bypass the iron net, and she asked me to wait here, and she walked to the shore inside. The shore was full of trees and deep pits, and I was worried about her. At this time, there were drunk Russians shouting not far away, and my heart was beating in horror when I listened, and I regretted letting Li Bailing go. I wanted to call Bai Ling and ask her to come back, but there was really no signal on the phone. I thought desperately, it was best that Li Bailing could find a way back.
About ten minutes later, Li Bailing came back, and she told me that there was almost no way inside, as if there were vicious dogs, and we couldn't go back from the land. I said, I regret letting you go, let's be safer together. The sky was getting darker and darker, and Bai Ling and I had nowhere to go, huddled together and resigned ourselves to fate.
At this moment a speedboat drove up, and a white figure on the boat shouted to me:
ββ: "Linna! Is that you? Li Bailing and I looked up and saw Andre sitting on a speedboat and driving towards us.
We both almost jumped up and shouted to Andrei.
Andrei jumped out of the speedboat, rushed to me, shook my shoulders with both hands and asked worriedly:
- "Linna, are you okay?" β
- "I'm all right! "I looked at Andrei and couldn't believe my eyes. Excitedly, he covered his mouth with his hands, and was so happy that he could barely speak.
We got on the speedboat, and it was a sturdy Caucasian who drove the speedboat, laughing
- "It's good to find it." The young man said, "If I can't see you, let me keep going." I told him that the river leads to the Moskva and then flows into the sea. Let's just look for it? And he said, Yes! Keep looking. Ha ha. It seems that he is really in a hurry. β
We told Andrey that our boat was out of control, and he said it might be that the gear of the pedal paddle had fallen. The two of us didn't know how to get it, but if he was there, he would hook it up and the boat would go.
When they came back to see everyone, everyone was very happy. When the classmates couldn't wait for me and Li Bailing, they really began to worry.
They told me how Andrei was in a hurry, went to the administrator to theorize, asked them to help with the search, and the people at the charter said they couldn't do anything about it. Andre wanted to call the police again, but there was no mobile phone signal here, and then he spent a lot of money to rent this speedboat to find it along the river.
I saw that Andre was only wearing that white long-sleeved shirt, and asked him, aren't you cold? The classmates laughed and said that Andre was sweating in a hurry, why did he need to wear clothes again. It was getting late and cold, so I asked AndrΓ© to put on his leather jacket.
We laughed happily when the owner of the ship came to me and said that we had lost his ship so far and that it had taken us so long...... I say, your ship is broken, we are the victims! He actually said that Bai Ling and I had damaged his boat and needed to pay money. Everyone thinks that this shipowner is really too scoundrel, and they have reasoned with him, and he is quite tough. Unrelenting.
At this time, Andrei did not know where to appear, and he grabbed the owner by the neck with both hands and said:
- "Dare to tell me what you just told that girl!" I'm telling you, if these two girls really fall overboard today, or if something happens to you, I'll make you regret for the rest of your life that you made such a broken boat!" β
Andrei grabbed him by the neck and shook him vigorously, no one stopped him, everyone just watched, and the frightened owner looked at me and shouted:
- "Girl, girl, please, you let him go, you just come back, just come back!" β
I went over and pulled up Andrei. Let him let the owner go, and I don't want to do any more.
Andrei let go of him, and the owner of the ship walked away without a word.
On the way back, I leaned next to Andrei.
I said, "I've been worried that you'll have an accident today, but I didn't expect it to be me." β
Andrei didn't speak, just kept kissing me on the forehead.
