Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

After the Lantern Festival, the festive atmosphere in the city gradually faded, and Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer's vacation was quietly halfway through.

Ling Jiuer had an extremely burning desire to travel to Hokkaido in her heart, a yearning that was almost obsessive, so she decided to use the remaining half of the holiday to fulfill her dream.

Ling Jiuer grew up in an artistic family and has had a keen sense of all the beautiful things in the world since she was a child.

When she was a child, she accidentally saw a photograph of Hokkaido in winter. In the picture, the snow in Hokkaido was like a dreamy elf, gently covering the earth.

The snow-capped mountains in the distance shine with holy light under the sunlight. The European-style buildings on both sides of the Otaru Canal are decorated with snow like castles in fairy tales, quiet and charming.

At that moment, the beauty of Hokkaido was engraved deeply in her young heart like a brand.

As she grows older, Ling Jiuer's yearning for Hokkaido becomes stronger.

She often immerses herself in books, movies and music about Hokkaido.

Those words that describe Hokkaido's magnificent snow scenery, simple folk customs and unique culture are like mysterious keys that constantly open the door to her deep longing for that land.

Every scene of Hokkaido in the movie, whether it was the hazy poetry of the Furano lavender fields under the snow, or the adorable penguins strolling on the snow in the Asahikawa Zoo, made her fascinated.

The melodious and ethereal Hokkaido music, which carries a hint of sadness and coolness, is like an invisible thread, weaving her yearning for Hokkaido even more tightly.

In her heart, Hokkaido is no longer just a geographical term, it is more like a distant and beautiful dream, a safe haven for her soul, and a piece of pure land that she has been desperately searching for in this noisy world.

She longed to step on that land herself, to feel the gentle coolness of the snowflakes falling on her cheeks, to listen to the crisp sound of the snow under her feet, and to breathe the cold yet fresh air, as if only in this way could she truly touch the ultimate beauty in her heart.

Driven by this obsession, she resolutely began preparations for her trip to Hokkaido when the holiday approached.

Ling Jiuer knew very well that a perfect trip requires meticulous planning.

She first devoted herself to formulating a travel guide.

In the ocean of the Internet, she researched travel notes about Hokkaido in major travel forums, social media groups and professional travel websites, and recorded all the practical travel tips, attraction recommendations and local customs and habits.

She also conducted an in-depth analysis of Hokkaido's transportation network and drew a Hokkaido travel transportation map.

When it comes to accommodation arrangements, Ling Jiuer showed unparalleled patience and meticulousness.

After countless screenings and comparisons, she finally identified several special accommodations located near different attractions.

In Otaru, she booked a traditional Japanese guesthouse right next to the canal.

This B&B is an ancient building with a history of hundreds of years. It retains the essence of traditional Japanese architecture and has exquisite tatami rooms and a quiet and elegant courtyard.

The trees in the courtyard are covered with snow, like a natural ink painting.

In Furano, she chose a holiday cottage near lavender fields.

The cabin was covered with large areas of snow, surrounded by endless fields and rolling mountains in the distance.

Standing at the door of the cottage, you can enjoy this dreamlike scenery.

Food strategy is also an important part of Ling Jiuer's preparations. She conducted a comprehensive and in-depth study of Hokkaido's food, consulted a large number of food books, food blogs and food review websites, and compiled a detailed food list.

She also contacted some popular restaurants in advance and booked seats.

She plans to try tonkotsu ramen at a long-established ramen shop in Sapporo; enjoy paella made with freshly caught seafood at a seaside restaurant in Hakodate; and taste grilled lamb at a street food stall in Asahikawa.

In addition to these, Ling Jiuer also considered other details of the trip.

She carefully prepared a list of essential items for the trip, from warm clothes, waterproof snow boots, cold-proof hats, gloves and scarves, to common medicines, cameras, power banks, conversion plugs, etc., every item was carefully listed by her.

She went to the mall in advance to buy high-quality warm equipment, selected a down jacket that was fashionable and had excellent warmth retention, and tried on pairs of snow boots until she found the one that fit her feet best and was the most non-slip.

She also prepared spare batteries and large-capacity memory cards for her camera so that she could record every wonderful moment of the trip.

In order to let everyone experience the charm of Hokkaido in advance, Ling Jiuer also carefully prepared a "Hokkaido Night" event.

She decorated her room in Hokkaido style, with the walls covered with photos of Hokkaido scenery and the floor covered with fluffy white carpets, symbolizing the snow in Hokkaido.

There is a small stove in the corner, and next to it is a low table filled with Hokkaido snacks.

When Gu Fanxing and Xiao Fangfei arrived at Ling Jiuer's house, they were surprised by the scene before them.

Ling Jiuer greeted them with a smile and said, "Welcome to our 'Hokkaido Night'. Before we officially set off, let's immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of Hokkaido together."

The three of them sat around the fireplace, and Ling Jiuer began to share the interesting things she knew about Hokkaido.

She took out a beautiful Hokkaido travel book, flipped through the pages and said, "Did you know that the snow in Hokkaido is very fine, like powder, because the climate in Hokkaido is cold and the humidity is suitable.

There, we can go to the hot springs and feel the wonderful feeling of snowflakes falling on our skin. While soaking in the warm spring water, we can enjoy the snow scenery around us. It is simply a paradise on earth."

Gu Fanxing listened attentively, with a hint of yearning in her eyes: "It sounds really wonderful. I feel that this trip will be an unforgettable experience."

Xiao Fangfei couldn't wait to ask: "What other animals can we see in Hokkaido? I heard there are many cute little animals there."

Ling Jiuer smiled and replied, "Of course. In the zoo in Asahikawa, we can see cute penguins walking around.

Those little penguins are so cute as they waddle along on the snow.

There are also brown bears in Hokkaido, although we may only be able to see them from a distance in the protected areas, but it is also a spectacular sight.”

Then, Ling Jiuer took out some Hokkaido music discs and played soft and soothing Hokkaido-style music.

As music played, they tasted delicious food and talked about their expectations for the trip.

Gu Fanxing said: "I hope this trip can help me relax. There are too many things in my life recently that make me a little tired. I want to find some peace in the snow in Hokkaido."

Xiao Fangfei said excitedly: "I will take lots of beautiful photos to record the beautiful scenery of Hokkaido, and post them on my social media platforms to make everyone envious."

Ling Jiuer nodded and said, "I believe we will all gain a lot from this trip. I also hope that through this trip, our friendship will become even deeper."

On this warm "Hokkaido Night", the laughter of the three people echoed in the room, and they were full of infinite longing and expectation for the trip to Hokkaido, as if they were already in that world of ice and snow, feeling the caress of snowflakes and the shock of the beautiful scenery. At this moment, their hearts were also closely connected because of the upcoming journey.
