Ding-ding-ding-ding.
Listening to the sound of wine glasses clinking in my ears.
And the happy laughter of Sutina and her family at the dinner table.
At the dining table, Huo Yu couldn't help but look at his palms. After being away from training, a lot of calluses on his palms had fallen off. If he was traveling, he probably wouldn't need such high-intensity training.
"... What I miss most personally is the Caribbean island, not because of anything else, but because it's very warm there. Although I did get frozen there once, you know, it rained heavily one night, but overall The temperature is still very suitable.”
Song Wenbin was sitting two seats away from her, chatting with Su Tina's second brother Su Lianfan. The content of their chat was mostly about the various places they had traveled to.
"It's just a loss of two hundred thousand."
"...Hahaha, it's not my 200,000 yuan, it's Brother Yu's. But the elders of Pig Island also said that when there is development there in the future, let me go back and play. I still care about it, you know, I I am very afraid of the cold. If I can go to a Caribbean island in winter..."
The Caribbean, Panama, the Bahamas, and the Bahamas seem to be pretty good places. Many people have bought properties there after becoming successful. Huo Yu dug his fingers into the red tablecloth on the table and thought casually.
"Teacher Yan, do you plan to go back to Seoul or Siberia?"
"No..."
Song Wenbin said: "Why do you ask about this?"
"Because I think Pu Yantong and Lalitha are both very good people." After drinking for three rounds, Su Lianfan asked with red eyes: "Although I can understand that it is a show, the feelings are real, and you don't. Have you ever thought about going back to find them?"
"Yes, that Russian girl is pretty pretty."
Sunia teased, and as she said that, she poked her sister: "Yes, it's Na, you have a very good temperament."
"Yeah~" Su Tina thought of something and added, "But she doesn't have the temperament of Huo Yu."
Huo Yu, who had been careless, raised his head, smiled weakly, and took a sip of grape juice.
"oops."
Song Wenbin quickly stood up and toasted Su Lianfan with a glass of wine and said, "They must all be good people. No one is a bad person. But we are too busy at work and can't handle domestic matters. We can only depend on fate. If there is a fate, I will definitely See you again."
"fate…"
Su Lianfan sighed helplessly: "I have no choice but to do it after my fate has ended."
After a few glasses of white wine, a waiter brought a plate of Dongpo meat from outside the box and placed it in front of Sutina's father. Everyone took turns turning the table and picked up a piece each. But when it stopped in front of Song Wenbin, he took the initiative to put it on the table. Turn to Huo Yu. Looking at the last remaining piece on the plate, Huo Yu was stunned. The plate had been passed in front of her a long time ago, but she did not lift the chopsticks. It was not that Dongpo meat was not delicious, but that she had been trained for many years. The intake of this kind of high-sugar and high-fat food is relatively controlled.
But when the table stopped, she still put the Dongpo meat into the bowl. Take a small taste.
"Then if fate comes." Suddenly, my sister Sonia asked: "Will Teacher Yan get married in the future?"
"Cough cough cough."
Song Wenbin coughed violently.
Huo Yu began to poke Dongpo's meat with kuaizi.
"Yes, Xiao Song, what are your plans for the future?"
Mother Su, who had been smiling and listening to various adventure stories, suddenly became interested and asked, "Do your family members urge you?"
A person who has been silent all this time will always attract a lot of attention when he suddenly speaks, not to mention the content of the question is so sensitive.
"No, I haven't pushed her much." Song Wenbin said, "I...I'm still young."
"Twenty-six years old, not too young." Mother Su said.
Song Wenbin was embarrassed and scratched his head, looking confused.
Kuaizi stopped with the braised pork on his fork. Huo Yu raised his head and said with a smile: "No marriage, no love, no running away, no dog licking. This is what Teacher Yan said personally at my home."
Song Wenbin was ashamed and quickly stood up and toasted Huo Yu with a glass of wine and said, "Brother Yu must remember it clearly. Indeed, I said this. This is also a requirement and restriction of the work. There is no way."
"That person can't work all the time, are you right, Tina?" Sunia asked her sister again.
"Yes...that's it. Doesn't the country still have a retirement age?" Sutina stammered.
"Then how can you get married after retirement?"
Su's mother was surprised and said, "I've never heard of such a thing."
Song Wenbin took the wine bottle and poured wine everywhere.
While pouring wine for Su's father, Su Yedong said: "It's not like I haven't heard of it. It doesn't mean you have to wait until you are sixty to retire. There are also people who retire at thirty."
"Really or not." Mother Su was surprised.
"Really, I think there are e-sports players who retire at the age of 25." Second brother Su Lianfan said, "Not all jobs are civil servants."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Song Wenbin quickly toasted Su's father with another glass of wine. While toasting, he said vaguely: "It would be nice to retire. We are under great pressure now and don't have time to think about those things. Everyone can understand that sometimes it is really difficult to You can’t help yourself, wait until you can control everything.”
The Dongpo meat on the plate was stabbed to pieces. Huo Yu put down the kuaizi and looked out the window.
Woof!
Woof!
Accompanied by rapid barking.
The night was gradually replaced by paleness, the howling cold wind passed by, and the concave and convex white ice surface was like a smoking fairyland. Who would have thought that there was only a wall separating the periphery of the quiet hotel from the northern wasteland.
Huo Yu, who was riding a snowmobile, gradually came back from her memories. She shook off the falling snow on her body and looked at the sky, where the swirling snowflakes were falling.
The seventh day into the North Pole.
A snowstorm is approaching.
…
…
After leaving that damn dog sled, Song Wenbin felt that he had had a rare few good days. During these two days, he stayed in Sutina's cab during the day and went to sleep in the tent at night.
Unlike his primitive dog sled, Sutina's cockpit has many strange spaces, and these spaces always contain things that Song Wenbin could not imagine.
On this day, when Sutina was driving her Snow War God across a snowy slope, a plastic box fell out of the net bag on Song Wenbin's head and landed on his head.
Song Wenbin picked it up and saw that it was a plastic box with brown round lumps in it.
"What is this?" he asked.
"Tacheng's cheese bread." Sutina glanced at it and said, "My mother brought it to me. I didn't finish it, so I took the North Pole as a snack."
Song Wenbin was stunned, then took out a piece and tasted it. It was sour and sweet, and it was delicious. There were raisins and various nuts in it.
"Wow! Why didn't you take out such a good thing earlier?"
Song Wenbin scolded that he thought this food was much more delicious than the food provided by the program crew.
The rationing this time was no different from the one in Siberia. Sausage, yogurt, and some high-energy biscuits and drinks. Although I was not hungry, there was nothing to enjoy.
"I planned to use it to celebrate when it reaches its peak, and you're going to eat it now." Sutina said in surprise.
"Is this just one piece?" Song Wenbin quickly put it down and said, "If there is only one piece, it would be too shabby."
Sutina laughed out loud and said, "Where is it? I put it in the net bag because I couldn't let it go. You can look for it again."
Song Wenbin was excited when he heard that there were snacks in the car.
So he looked around like a treasure hunt. It was a good thing that he couldn't find it. Once he looked for it, he found that there were things everywhere in the car that he could not imagine.
Chocolate bars in the belly of the car door, packaging duck necks hidden under the glovebox.
Just under Sutina's chair, he saw two boxes. He took out a box and opened it. There were many small red squares. He picked up a square and asked, "What is this?"
Sutina stared at the cardboard box and thought for a while, then remembered: "Oh, this is jujube and walnuts."
"Jujube and walnuts?" Song Wenbin asked, "Did you bring it yourself?"
"That's right." Sutina said, "You shouldn't have brought anything with you, right?"
"Of course I didn't bring anything! This is an adventure, why bring so many snacks?" He said with some annoyance.
"No one says it has to be a painful adventure."
Sutina said: "I learned this from you. You brought self-heating rice to the Caribbean and I was so impressed. So on subsequent trips, as long as the planning team doesn't stipulate it, I will bring more delicious food."
"Okay, no wonder you don't care about king crabs. How many delicious things do you have in your car?" Song Wenbin asked.
"I brought two boxes under the bed." Sutina pointed to a suitcase in the corner and said, "One box contains clothes, and the other box contains snacks. Go and take a look."
Depend on…
Song Wenbin got under the bed and saw two large suitcases underneath.
"You are really weird at hiding it!" He said in surprise: "I didn't know I would have told you about this kind of thing earlier."
Sutina drove the car and said a little confused: "Don't tell me, humans are really strange animals. If I didn't have these things, I would probably think about those delicious foods along the way, but if I brought these delicious foods with me , I won’t think about it. If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten that I brought a lot of delicious food.”
Song Wenbin:......
He is not interested in exploring the complexity of human nature. In comparison, Song Wenbin feels that he is still a simple creature. If there is something delicious, he certainly won't mind trying it. After all, the coach at the training camp once told him that in the Arctic, He needs to consume at least 5,000 calories every day to ensure energy balance.
He opened a box with curiosity and interest, and then he saw a pile of clothes in the box, and the first thing that bore the brunt was a set of white panties and bras. Due to his anticipatory movements when opening the box, the hood even playfully bounced up and landed on the back of his hand.
Song Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and then his face instantly turned red. He shook off the cover as if he was electrocuted, closed the box, zipped it, and pushed it back to the bottom of the bed.
For a moment, his eyes widened, his heart beat like a drum, and blood flowed turbulently throughout his body.
"Have you found it?" Sutina, who was driving in front, was completely unaware of what was happening behind her and still asked.
"Looking for... found it."
Song Wenbin gritted his teeth and tremblingly pulled another box out from under the crib.
As expected, this box contained a variety of snacks and drinks, including beef jerky, preserved fruits, potato chips, seaweed, mango juice, and the like, and even a bottle of champagne. But Song Wenbin could no longer look directly at these snacks. His mind was full of thoughts. The shocking glimpse just now.
Although he tried his best to forget it, the brief touch was burned into his mind like a branding iron. The lace was half-hollowed, and there was actually a steel ring around the edge. How old was he before he needed to be wrapped in a steel ring?
!
"You can take whatever you want to eat."
Sutina said: "I guess it won't take that much to go to the pole to celebrate."
Song Wenbin closed the box silently and sat there with his head lowered. He could clearly feel the changes in his physiology, and this change undoubtedly made him feel uneasy.
That's outrageous, it's working time now.
Although Song Wenbin has seen a lot of pictures of that thing, in modern society, brushing aside is almost a must-have for Internet software to survive. If you just open Baidu, you can see countless similar content.
But this was the first time he had been touched so close in reality. Even Song Wenbin himself did not expect that such a simple thing would have such a huge impact on him.
Damn Sutina!
You'll die if you stuff that thing inside!
You really don’t treat me as an outsider at all!
I am an adult male creature!
No!
!
I am misogynistic me!
I am the King of Hijras!
How could I be defeated by a piece of cloth with steel rings!
Why do you need to add steel rings?
Designer, is there something wrong with you? ?
Isn’t it uncomfortable to wear it? ?
ah!
!
The man roared crazily in his heart.
It wasn't until Dongfang Hong stopped on the ice that Song Wenbin barely suppressed his boiling blood. He sat on the bed dumbfounded, motionless.
"Hey, don't you want to eat?" Su Tina stopped the car and looked back at Song Wenbin curiously and asked.
Song Wenbin saw similar lines under her goose-yellow sweater at a glance. He closed his eyes in despair and said, "Go to the extreme to celebrate and then eat."
Sutina did not doubt that he was there, and said: "You are so restrained, but we are getting off the bus now."
"Get off the car, what's wrong?" Song Wenbin asked.
"Don't you see, a snowstorm is coming." Sutina pointed out the window and said.
Song Wenbin opened his eyes and looked out the window. Sure enough, snowflakes were falling from the sky. Although they were not big, they were extremely dense, making the visibility very poor. Obviously, traveling in this environment was very unrealistic.
At this time, director Paulie's voice came from the intercom in the car, "Comrades, due to the approaching storm and snow, we have to suspend the trip, get off the car and gather to make other program arrangements.
Sutina turned sideways, took down the down coat hanging by the bed, and said, "Let's go, Brother Song."
When she turned sideways to pick up the clothes, she was very close to Song Wenbin. Song Wenbin could smell the strong scent of female hormones so clearly that it was almost uncontrollable.
He didn't hold back anymore, he jumped off the tractor almost as if he was flying, and plunged into the icy wind and snow.
