Far away in Moscow

Chapter 150 Winter Dream

"coming."

The rhythmic click of high heels on the floor.Natasha gently opened the door, and the expression on her face instantly changed from a smile to surprise.

"Anton? This...is you? Oh hey!" Natasha covered her mouth lightly and took a small step back, her eyes widened and she kept looking up and down Hu Yi: "Oh hey! You are so... so handsome today. "

"Thank you, Natasha." Hu Yi tried his best to control the smile on his face, not to let himself be too nervous: "You are very beautiful today, very beautiful."

It wasn't exactly a compliment.Natasha doesn't seem to be dressing up deliberately today, the makeup on her face is still very light, but in Hu Yi's view, it looks more radiant, and the seemingly casually matched clothes can highlight her figure curves more than usual.

Hu Yi tried to squeeze out Zhou Runfa's elegant smile, and passed the flowers in his hand forward: "For you, the most beautiful girl."

"Thank you." Natasha gently brushed the hair on her cheeks behind her ears, took the bouquet with both hands, and smiled slightly flustered: "Come in, please."

Hu Yi walked into the room steadily, closed the door gently, put his hands in his trouser pockets and smiled while watching Natasha take the vase from the window sill and walk into the bathroom.

The flowers in the vase were bought by Hu Yi when the two went out to visit the park during the New Year, and they are almost withered now.Natasha, however, was reluctant to throw it away. She took it out until now, added some new water to the bottle, and inserted Hu Yi's newly bought flowers into it.

"What beautiful flowers!" Natasha gently sniffed at the petals, and smiled happily at Hu Yi: "Please come and sit down."

After a few steps through the narrow aisle next to the bathroom and toilet, the two came to the small square table sandwiched between the bed and the wall, pulled out the chairs and sat down facing each other.

The table is covered with various containers, the largest plate in the center contains sliced ​​bread and bacon sausage, surrounded by a potato salad, two pieces of stewed fish, two fried beef patties, two boiled chicken legs and some Side dishes, in addition, there is a plate of red cabbage soup in front of the two of them.

"Sorry, it would have been better to serve them on the table one after another, but the room is too small, so they can only be placed together." Natasha smiled apologetically, and then introduced happily: "The smoked sausage and pickles are bought from the market. Here, the beef patty is a semi-finished product, it only needs to be processed a little bit, and I made the rest by myself."

"Wow, this is so rich!" Hu Yi smelled the aroma of the food, felt a little difficult to breathe, and stretched out his hand to adjust the position of the neckline.

"As I said, I'm not very good at cooking." Natasha was a little uneasy: "The ingredients and method of cooking chicken drumsticks were told to his wife—that is, my aunt— when I was a guest at Maxim's house a few days ago I learned it. I tried it for the first time today, and I don’t know if it will work.”

"We'll find out soon." Hu Yi smiled and stretched his neck, raising the red wine in his hand: "Should I have some wine?"

"Red wine?" Natasha smiled and shook her head: "I don't have tools to open the bottle, nor a glass for drinking red wine. Do you have one?"

"This... um... I don't have either." Hu Yi felt a little embarrassed. He bought red wine purely to imitate other people's guest etiquette, and didn't think about it at all.

"It's okay, I've prepared wine." Natasha picked up a bottle of vodka and two small glasses from the cabinet beside her, poured a glass for each of them, then walked to Hu Yi, who was sitting upright, and gently held him down shoulder: "Anton, take it easy, take off your tie if you feel uncomfortable."

Hu Yi unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, took off his tie, let out a long sigh of relief, and smiled shyly at Natasha: "That's great, I'm really worried that I won't be able to swallow the good things you made later."

Natasha sat back in her chair: "Then let's get started."

"let's start."

Judging by Hu Yi's taste buds, Natasha's cooking skills can only be regarded as above average.But as far as his state of mind is concerned at this time, everything on the table is the most delicious delicacies.

Hu Yi happily tasted every piece of food, and praised all the Russian vocabulary he had mastered without hesitation.

He was well aware that the dishes in front of him were filled with ordinary dishes, but the preparation of this meal had taken a great deal of Natasha's enthusiasm and cost her at least two weeks' salary.

Thinking of this, Hu Yi felt a little sour in his heart. He could only use the spicy taste of Vodka to release the expression on his face, and then continued to smile.

Natasha is in a good mood tonight.When she opened the second bottle of vodka, a slight blush appeared on her face, and she spoke quickly, happily telling Hu Yi all the anecdotes she encountered when living in Minsk.

Reminiscing about the past after drinking, she almost forgot that she was facing a foreigner who had only learned Russian for more than three years. Various uncommon words and hometown slang came one after another, which always made Hu Yi difficult to understand.

Natasha is also careful. Every time she sees Hu Yi's expression stunned, she patiently explains her words until Hu Yi understands.

"Do you know? I didn't like singing when I was young." Natasha had a sad smile on her face: "Later, my mother died and my father left, so I often sang at home by myself."

"Really." Hu Yi bit his lip and nodded slowly: "It sounds a bit sad."

"Yes, but I liked to sing some cheerful songs at that time." Natasha recalled happily: "If there are fewer passengers when driving to work, I can't help humming softly. After a long time, some passengers will Deliberately waiting to ride in my car, sit next to me and listen to me sing, or sing along with me."

"That feels great. You must sing very well, right?" Hu Yi raised his head and wandered around for a while, staring at her with a bit of drunkenness: "Can you sing me a song?"

"You want to listen? Of course." Natasha's eyes lit up, she pondered for a while, then turned her head slightly to Hu Yi: "Let's change the atmosphere."

"Atmosphere? What atmosphere?"

Natasha got up and went to the cabinet to take out a few candles to light, put two on the dining table and two on the window sill, then turned off the light, and smiled gently at Hu Yi in the candlelight: "Romantic atmosphere."

Hu Yi's heart was pounding, he controlled his shortness of breath, and sat on the chair, ready to listen.

Natasha looked at the slightly shaking candle seedlings, her eyes were like water, and she opened her lips lightly:

Stars appear in the night sky,

The light is dimly discernible,

If you can't hear me cry,
That's because winter has arrived.

Under the low and gloomy sky,

Dusk hangs over my home,
nothing will happen again

Because winter has come.

The singing sounded like a gurgling brook, like a clear spring ding-dong. Hu Yi was fascinated by the sound for a moment, and he left his seat slowly behind Natasha and walked to the window.

Snowflakes are flying outside the window, and candle shadows are dancing on the window.Natasha cast a glance at Hu Yi reflected in the window, and continued to sing softly:

When winter quietly descends on the earth,
I light the lonely window with my lamp all night,

I look forward to your arrival as expected,

But I can only keep my regrets in my dreams.

Maybe we are separated by wind and snow,
Maybe it was the pre-dawn vision,

But you also waited with me,
Looking forward to the arrival of this winter.

……

When the snowflakes fall, a song has been quietly sung.Natasha Yingying turned around: "Do you like it?"

"I like it! I like it so much." Hu Yi's heart was shaking, and he couldn't help taking a small step forward and sticking to her in front of her: "Natasha..."

"Wait a minute, Anton." Natasha raised a palm and pressed it lightly on his chest: "Please tell me, how long have we known each other?"
