After the meal, Gu Xi suggested: "Let's go to Bailong Lake for a stroll. When winter comes, Bailong Lake will be covered with a thick layer of ice. Many people in the city like to play on the ice on the lake, and there are many other places nearby. It’s a great place to visit with a view that’s rare to see anywhere else.”
Shen Yizhi was confused: "Bingxi?"
Gu Xi gave it up and said, "You'll find out when you go."
After arriving, Shen Yizhi knew that ice skating meant skating. Of course, it was not limited to skating, but a series of ice activities including skating.
Such as ice polo, ice Cuju, ice rowing, etc.
At this time, the shoes worn for skating were called "skate shoes". As the name suggests, the shoes were not equipped with wheels, but thick knife-like bottoms. The skaters would also hold two long poles in their hands, similar to ski poles. , used to control direction and braking.
Bailong Lake is very big, and there are many people playing on the lake. After all, there are no other recreational activities in the winter, so ice playing is the best choice.
The frost willows unique to the North are planted on the shore, and their snow-white branches hang down like a curtain of snow.
Farther away, there is a large pine forest. The pine trees are covered with white snow, which is set against the clear blue sky. It is so beautiful that it is ethereal and clear.
This is a world as clean as glass.
Shen Yizhi couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful."
Gu Xi was a little proud: "Really?"
The three of them came to the lake. Gu Xi said to Shen Yizhi and the other two, "Just wait, I'll buy three pairs of skates over there."
There is a lot of traffic by the lake, and traders who are good at detecting business opportunities come here one after another, set up stalls and start business.
There are several shops selling skates and shoes alone.
Gu Xi came back soon, carrying three pairs of shoes in her hand.
The upper part of skate shoes is very similar to clogs. You only need to put the shoes directly on them and then tie them with laces.
Shen Yizhi was wearing it for the first time, and she was still a little unsteady and almost fell down. Fortunately, Gu Xueting caught her.
Gu Xi laughed and gloated on the sidelines.
Shen Yizhi supported Gu Xueting, squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at him.
Gu Xi laughed and dodged, "Little aunt, I'm going to leave first."
As he spoke, he slid into the lake and swung away as light and graceful as a crane.
Gu Xi was a master of Bing Xi, and she wanted to show off in front of Gu Xueting, so she tried her best to show off her superb skating skills, and because she was wearing a scorching red dress, she instantly attracted the attention of many people. sight.
Shen Yizhi chuckled to himself, what a coquettish guy.
She can also skate, and her skills are quite good, but she is still a little uncomfortable with the skate shoes of this era. For a while, let alone skating, it is a little difficult to stand.
She couldn't help but think of the time when she first learned to skate.
Seeing that Gu Xueting has been standing steadily and can act as her support, Shen Yizhi couldn't help but ask: "Have you ever known how to skate before?"
That's right, he has been in the Northland for eight years. How could he not enjoy a national sport like Bingxi?
However, to her surprise, Gu Xueting shook his head: "This is my first time playing."
He has been in the Northland for eight years, but he spent most of that time in the military camp and did not pay attention to these recreational activities.
It can be said that before meeting her, his life was peaceful and deserted.
Of course, he didn’t feel that way at the time.
Now, with her by his side, he feels that life is so enjoyable.
Sensing her doubts, Gu Xueting held her waist, lowered his head and said in her ear: "Try to move the spiritual energy to your legs to make your body slightly off the ground, so that you can stand firm."
I see!
Shen Yizhi tried it. Well, his body was off the ground, so he didn't have to worry about falling.
Seeing that she no longer needed to hold him up to stand steady, Gu Xueting couldn't help but regret. He should have told her later, so that he could enjoy the feeling of her clinging to him for a while longer.
However, it is another kind of enjoyment to see her gliding freely on the lake with a smile as pure as ice crystals on her face.
Shen Yizhi gradually mastered the skill of skating on skates, and became more and more slippery. He was like a light butterfly on the lake, spinning and gliding in various dazzling postures.
Gu Xueting was just walking leisurely on the lake, his eyes always chasing her figure.
Shen Yizhi skated in front of him, circled around him a few times, then held his hand and invited him: "Skate with me."
So the single person became a double person, and they galloped on the icy lake together.
In order to have more fun skating, Shen Yizhi gradually brought Gu Xueting to a corner of the lake far away from the crowd. Here, the two of them were like a pair of swans hiding from the world, showing off their graceful and tacit understanding.
In this corner of the glazed ice crystal world, they stared at each other, smiles spreading in their eyes and hearts.
Although they were far away from the crowd, the form of double skating was still a brand new form of skating in this era, not to mention their posture was so light and graceful, it was like dancing on the ice. Gradually, many people were attracted to it. He noticed this and gathered around to watch the two people's "performance".
Shen Yizhi rose into the air, and was caught firmly by Gu Xueting after landing. He held her waist, and the two of them spun around the ice lake together.
This beautiful scene was fixed in everyone's minds, and a burst of warm applause sounded.
Xiao Lizhu, to be precise, happened to see this scene when Meiyang came.
Her eyes darkened, but then she laughed.
Gu Xueting and Shen Yizhi, these two really show off their affection all the time.
She wanted to see if they could maintain such a "touching" love after entering the cycle of reincarnation.
“Sister, what a coincidence, we meet again.”
When Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting came ashore, Meiyang walked over with just the right amount of surprise on her face.
Shen Yizhi looked up, saw it was her, and said with a smile, "Yes, you come here to play too?"
Meiyang nodded, "Sister, I saw you skating together when I came here just now. It's really enviable."
Shen Yizhi paused in his heart. Was he envious of her skating with Gu Xueting? Is she overthinking it?
Meiyang lowered her eyes and looked a little gloomy: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and my mother didn't allow me to play with this."
Shen Yizhi felt that he might have thought too much just now. This little girl was just feeling bad because of her poor health.
But she found that she looked much better this time than the last time she saw her.
“Sister, can you teach me how to skate?” Meiyang bit her lower lip and mustered up the courage to look at her.
Before Shen Yizhi could say anything, the maid behind her expressed her objection: "Miss, you can't do it! You just walked away from the cold, how could you-"
Meiyang looked back at her and said, "I know my health. I'm much better."
The maid hesitated to speak and said nothing more.
Meiyang held Shen Yizhi's hand and begged, "Sister, are you okay?"
