Chapter 61

It was past three o'clock and the sky began to darken. It was snowing heavily, and you would be covered in snow if you were drenched for a minute. They stood in front of a dessert shop on the street to avoid the snow. Luo Jie blew a breath into his palm and asked He Songgao pitifully, "Where are we going now?"

Luo Jie's cheeks were pale and his nose was red because he had been frozen for too long. He kept sniffing.

He Songgao was worried that if he continued to freeze like this, the fool would have a fever again, so he said, "Let's go back to the hotel."

"Ah?" Roger didn't want to go back. He hadn't played enough. "Let's go back like this. We haven't played anything yet. We have to leave tomorrow."

"Go in and rest for a while." He Songgao opened the door of the dessert shop. "Wait until your body is warm before going out."

"Okay."

After drinking a cup of hot almond eggnog, Roger felt his body begin to warm up. He sat by the window and looked out. It was snowing heavily, but there were tourists all the time. The lights in the city at night were beautiful, and there were LED light strings everywhere to decorate the Christmas atmosphere. It would be a pity to go back to the hotel and lie down now. Fortunately, I didn't listen to He Songgao just now.

After discussing, the two decided to go to the nearby Tivoli Park for fun. When we entered, we were told that there would be a Christmas show tonight, and free hot drinks and desserts. Roger was very happy to queue up for food. On the way, he saw a carousel and wanted to ride it. The line in front of the free drink booth was very long, and he didn't know how long it would take. So he gave up and dragged He Songgao to ride the carousel. After that, he made almond cookies at a DIY booth. Because he made it so well, he was praised by a group of children. Roger was so happy that he gave all the baked almond cookies to the children. In the end, he realized that he didn't get to eat any of them.

"What a pity." He said, regretting it.

He Songgao suddenly opened his palm, and there were two slightly flat almond cookies lying on it.

It turns out that he hid two more!

Luo Jie pushed him: "You are quite clever."

He Songgao picked up a piece and put it to his mouth: "Try it."

Luo Jie opened his mouth to take it. Hmm, it tastes good, with the aroma of almonds and butter, crispy and delicious: "It seems that I have a talent for baking. I will try it at home next time."

They played until nine o'clock in the evening. Finally, Luo Jie was still not satisfied and said to He Songgao: "Next time if I have the opportunity to come back, I want to come and play again. I haven't ridden the bungee jumping machine and roller coaster yet."

"Well. Let's come together next time." He Songgao said.

"..." I didn't say I wanted to come with you. Roger turned his head and tried to peek at him, but was caught red-handed. He was startled and pretended to be calm, saying, "I may not come with you next time."

"Oh." He Songgao's reaction was very calm, "Then who do you want to come with you?"

Roger said, "With - my future girlfriend, or wife or something like that."

"Oh." To his surprise, He Songgao didn't react at all to this sentence, and didn't even frown, as if it didn't matter to him at all whether Roger had a girlfriend or a wife.

He was still wondering why, and He Songgao said, "Then I may not come with you next time."

Luo Jie was stunned: "Who are you going to come with?"

"Maybe my future boyfriend."

"...Oh." Luo Jie lowered his head and crushed the snow on the ground with his feet, "That's good, this place is suitable for lovers to come together."

For a long time, neither of them spoke. The lights in the square lit up and went out, and then went out and lit up again. Suddenly, with a "bang", a bunch of fireworks exploded in the air. The two raised their heads, and accompanied by melodious music, a romantic fireworks show began.

"It's so beautiful." Luo Jie looked up at the fireworks in various shapes in the sky and murmured.

He Songgao didn't say anything.

He turned his head and saw He Songgao also looking up at the fireworks. Colorful lights flickered on his face. He was very handsome, with deep eyebrows and eyes. He looked serious, serious and indifferent when he didn't speak. But now, at this moment, colorful lights flowed on his face, making his usually cold face more soft. He

was really handsome. This was a handsomeness that even the narcissistic Roger had to admit, like a prince.

Oh my God. Why did the word "prince" pop up in his mind? Did the fireworks hit his eyes? He spit on himself in his heart, and couldn't help staring at He Songgao's face. Really, why is God so partial, giving a man so much money and such a handsome face, oh, not only that, but also talent... God, why can't you be fair to me.

"What are you looking at?"

He Songgao suddenly spoke, startling Roger. He looked into He Songgao's eyes, which contained some gentle smiles... No, no, gentle is the word that least suits He Songgao. He must be dazzled! Roger stared straight at those eyes filled with gentle smiles, feeling that his soul was about to be sucked in. Why, why, why is it so beautiful?

At this moment, an extremely large firework rescued him from his trance. He shuddered suddenly, turned around, pointed at the fireworks in the sky and said, "So beautiful!"

His face was so hot, but in this pitch-black night, you couldn't tell that he was blushing...

"It's really beautiful." He Songgao's voice came from behind.

So deep, so magnetic… Luo Jie’s brain was filled with the crackling fireworks, leaving him no room to think about other issues, such as whether he should go back to the hotel or not, and when should he go back…

In the end, he didn’t know how he walked out of the park. He only remembered that He Songgao said he wanted to take a taxi back to the hotel, and he muttered, “It’s so close, why take a taxi?”

He Songgao said, “It’s too cold, I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold if you walk back.”

“…” Luo Jie didn’t say anything. He didn’t know what to say, “I’m not that squeamish.” But it seems that he has had a fever recently, which can explain why he has been so strange recently. It must be that the fever has damaged his brain. Even if it’s not completely damaged, there should be some malfunction in his brain…

The car came, and Luo Jie stood there blankly, not getting in the car, and not speaking.

He Songgao looked at him and called him: "Hey."

What are you saying? It's not like I don't have a name.

He Songgao raised his hand and touched his forehead: "Are you having a fever again? Why are you so dazed?"

The driver was honking the horn. Luo Jie was startled by the "beep" and woke up as if from a dream. "It's okay, I'm okay. I was just thinking about something. Let's go or the driver is going to curse!"

At night, Luo Jie rarely pulled He Songgao to whisper and said that he would prepare a strategy a day in advance. Instead, he said that he was tired as soon as he entered the door and was going to take a shower and go to bed. See you tomorrow.

"Okay--" He Songgao looked at him and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and changed his clothes silently.

Roger had insomnia again at night.

He got up at eight o'clock. It was still snowing outside before dawn. Roger wanted to stay in the hotel, but he thought about what he had said yesterday: he would continue City Walk in the city tomorrow! He had said it, but he suddenly said he didn't want to go. Didn't he need some legitimate reasons?

So he dragged his tired body and walked on the cold streets of Copenhagen with He Songgao. Except for lunch time, they had been strolling and walking on the road. They walked at least 20,000 steps. Roger was not interested at first, but he felt it was good to go to Amalienborg Palace and take photos with the royal guards. They walked to Rosenborg Palace and the Round Tower. In the afternoon, the snow was a little lighter, so they took a detour to the Town Hall Square, where they played with the statue of Andersen. Opposite was the Tivoli Park they had visited last night. Before three o'clock, it was dark again.

"This is too exaggerated," Roger frowned and complained, "It's dark before three o'clock." He had begun to dislike Northern Europe.

He Songgao glanced at the gray-blue sky and said, "The weather is bad today. But haven't you gotten used to it yet? It gets dark earlier in northern Finland, and there may only be a few hours of daylight." "

Ah?" Roger widened his eyes, "Is it true? Not that exaggerated?"

"Really, when the weather is bad, there are even less than two hours."

"..." Then how to have fun and where to go, Roger couldn't imagine.

"But the probability of seeing the aurora is very high."

"!" Roger's appetite was instantly whetted, "Is it true!"

"Really." He Songgao laughed, "I'm not lying to you. Do you want to ride a sled?"

"It won't be a sled pulled by puppies, right?" Roger finally became excited again, his mind full of expectations for Finland - or dog sledding.

"Really." He Songgao assured him, "You can also ride a horse. If you don't know how to ride a horse, I'll take you."

"Huh?" Riding a horse together? Suddenly, some not-so-nice pictures appeared in Roger's mind, for example, they sat on the horse together, he was in front, He Songgao was behind, and then the horse started to run... God, why did he think of this! Stop! Stop.

"Why are you blushing?" He Songgao said, with a puzzled tone.

"Nothing." Roger's face was as red as a cooked shrimp, and he turned to escape He Songgao's gaze, "Let's go, it seems that there is nothing fun, let's stay in the hotel until tomorrow! Then we will take a plane, I think Finland will be more fun, by the way, are we going to go skiing..." "

Yes."

"But it gets dark so early and gets light so late, how many hours can we play..."

The next day, they took a plane to Finland. They had plenty of time, they would stay in Helsinki for one night, and then take a plane to northern Finland the next day.

The long journey still made Roger feel tired, and he almost slept from the moment he got on the plane until the plane landed on the runway.

The radio was welcoming everyone to Finland. Roger, still in his sleep, almost fell down when he was leaving the cabin. He Songgao held him and reminded him, "Be careful. Should I hold your hand?"

Roger: "Haha, no need, I'm not a child."

It was very cold outside, the temperature was below zero. They went to find the hotel car as soon as they got off the plane. They stayed at the Waterfront Hotel in the center of Helsinki, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a great view. They walked around the city at night. It was very cold. He Songgao took him to buy a goose feather down jacket, which was much warmer than the duck feather jacket he wore before. Compared with Germany and Denmark, the city of Helsinki has a more modern style. The city lights at night are very cool. During Christmas season, they encountered another Christmas market at the Senate Square. This market was much larger than the one they went to in Denmark, and there were free souvenirs to receive. Roger walked around for more than two hours, and in the end he was so tired that he didn't even want to go to the remaining attractions.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go." He Songgao said, "Go back to the hotel and rest."

After a night's rest, they took a flight from Helsinki to Rovaniemi in northern Finland, changed buses on the way, and arrived at their destination about five hours later.
