Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

On stage, the actors, dressed in gorgeous costumes, danced joyfully. Their graceful movements and dynamic music brought the atmosphere to a climax.

Lu Yong, Hannah, and the Russian tourists sat together in the audience, enjoying the wonderful performance.

Hannah was captivated by the dancers' performance; she swayed gently to the rhythm of the music, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

After the performance, the performers invited audience members to come on stage and dance together.

Hannah was the first to stand up, took Lu Yong's hand and said, "Lu Yong, let's go up and jump too."

Lu Yong hesitated. He felt he wasn't very good at dancing and was afraid of embarrassing himself.

But seeing Hannah's expectant eyes, he mustered his courage and walked onto the stage with her.

On stage, Hannah was like a lively little deer, dancing joyfully to the rhythm of the actors.

Although Lu Yong was a bit clumsy, he gradually found his rhythm under Hannah's guidance.

They danced and sang on stage with the Russian tourists, their laughter and cheers echoing throughout the event.

After the dance, they arrived at a handicrafts production area.

Here you can make traditional Russian handicrafts by hand, such as matryoshka dolls and painted eggs.

Hannah was particularly interested in making matryoshka dolls. She pulled Lu Yong to sit down at a stall and began to learn how to make matryoshka dolls from the stall owner.

The stall owner was a kind and friendly Russian woman who patiently taught Hannah and Lu Yong how to color and decorate the matryoshka dolls.

Hannah studied very diligently, carefully mixing the colors and meticulously drawing patterns on the matryoshka dolls.

Although Lu Yong was initially a bit flustered, he gradually mastered the skills with Hannah's help.

During the production process, they chatted with the Russian woman.

The Russian woman told them that matryoshka dolls represent reunion and happiness in Russian culture, and each doll contains a beautiful meaning.

Hearing this, Hannah worked even harder on her matryoshka doll, hoping it would bring her good luck.

After much effort, they finally completed their matryoshka doll creation.

Hannah looked at the matryoshka dolls she had made herself and was as happy as a child. She waved the dolls in front of Lu Yong and said, "Look, how beautiful the matryoshka dolls I made are!"

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, you did a fantastic job, much better than me."

The Russian woman also praised them for doing a good job.

Next, they arrived at a food area.

The place is filled with all kinds of Russian food, including fragrant rye bread, sweet and sour kvass, and delicious Russian kebabs.

Hannah's mouth was watering as she looked at the delicious food. She grabbed Lu Yong's hand and said, "Lu Yong, let's try all this food! It looks so delicious!"

They found an empty seat and began to enjoy their food.

Hannah picked up a piece of rye bread, took a bite, and exclaimed, "Wow, this bread is so delicious! It has a very dense texture and a wonderful aroma!"

Lu Yong also took a bite and nodded, saying, "Indeed, Russian cuisine is very distinctive."

They ate while sharing their experiences with the Russian tourists and recommending their favorite foods to each other.

During their meal, they met a local Russian friend named Andrei.

Andrei is a warm and cheerful young man who is also very interested in Chinese culture.

He told Lu Yong and Hannah that he often comes to the Sino-Russian Ethnic Customs Park because it allows him to experience the fusion of the two cultures.

“I really enjoy communicating with my Chinese friends. We can learn a lot from each other’s cultures,” Andrei said with a smile.

Lu Yong and Hannah agreed wholeheartedly.

They chatted a lot with Andrei, from their respective national cultures to interesting anecdotes about their lives, and the more they talked, the more they clicked.

After enjoying the delicious food, Andrei suggested taking them to see a secret garden in the scenic area.

This garden is said to be the most beautiful place in the scenic area, but few people know about it.

Lu Yong and Hannah were very interested when they heard this, so they followed Andrei to the Secret Garden.

They walked along a quiet path, surrounded by lush trees and colorful flowers.

The air was filled with a faint floral fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Hannah ran ahead excitedly, picking a flower every now and then to smell it, and even asking Lu Yong to take pictures of her.

Finally, they arrived at the secret garden.

In the middle of the garden is a small fountain with crystal-clear water that shimmers with iridescent colors under the sunlight.

"This is so beautiful, it's like a fairyland," Hannah couldn't help but exclaim.

Lu Yong also exclaimed, "Yes, this place is really beautiful. Andrei, thank you for bringing us here."

Andrei smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm very happy to share such a beautiful place with you."

They played in the secret garden for a while, taking pictures, chatting, and enjoying the wonderful time.

Hannah and Andrei sang together in Russian and Chinese, their voices echoing in the garden, filled with joy and warmth.

At this moment, Lu Yong and Hannah realized that it was getting late and they had to say goodbye to the Russian tourists and Andrei.

"I had a really great day meeting all of you new friends and experiencing so many fun things," Hannah said reluctantly.

The Russian tourists also expressed that they had a very pleasant time traveling with them today and hoped to have the opportunity to meet again in the future.

Andrei smiled and said, "You are welcome to come to Heihe again in the future, to the Sino-Russian Ethnic Customs Park, where we can continue to explore the beauty of this place together."

Lu Yong and Hannah hugged each of them goodbye, then left the Sino-Russian Ethnic Cultural Park with their backpacks on.

On their way back to the guesthouse, Lu Yong and Hannah were still immersed in the joy of the day.

“Lu Yong, today was truly unforgettable! We not only experienced Russian culture, but also made many new friends,” Hannah said excitedly.

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Yes, I also feel that today is particularly meaningful. Heihe is truly a charming place, and we can come again in the future."

After returning to the guesthouse, they quickly washed up and began organizing the photos and videos they had taken that day.

They selected some of the most memorable moments and prepared to post them online to share their joyful trip to the Sino-Russian Ethnic Cultural Park with their friends.

"Family, today we visited the Heihe Sino-Russian Ethnic Cultural Park, and it was absolutely amazing! There were incredibly beautiful Russian architecture, fantastic dance performances, fun handicraft making activities, and delicious Russian food. We also made many local friends and had a super fun day together. Check out these photos and videos to get a feel for the joyful atmosphere!" Hannah exclaimed excitedly while editing the caption.

Lu Yong was also helping to select photos. He smiled and said, "Yes, today has been very fruitful. I think this trip was especially worthwhile." After editing, they posted the content online.

It quickly received many likes and comments from netizens.

"Wow, it looks so unique and culturally significant! I really want to go!"

"The friends you've made are all so warm and welcoming. It feels so comforting."

"Your sharing is fantastic! I'd love to visit the Heihe Sino-Russian Ethnic Cultural Park sometime."

Seeing the comments from netizens, Lu Yong and Hannah smiled happily.

"Hannah, today is really special. I never imagined I would make so many foreign friends in Heihe. I feel like my horizons have broadened a lot," Lu Yong said softly.

Hannah turned her head, looked into Lu Yong's eyes, and said earnestly, "Yes, Lu Yong, I also think today was very meaningful. We should go out more often in the future, see different parts of the world, and meet more interesting people."

After saying that, she leaned on Lu Yong's shoulder, a satisfied smile on her face.

The next day, Lu Yong was awakened by the sound of pattering rain outside the window.

He groggily opened his eyes, gently got up, walked to the window, and drew back the curtains.

Outside, the rain was like a curtain, with large raindrops pattering against the window. The streets were already soaked, with tiny water droplets splashing everywhere.

"Sigh, this rain really couldn't have come at the worst possible time," Lu Yong muttered to himself, feeling a little disappointed.

Lu Yong and Hannah had originally planned to visit the Heihe Woniu Lake Scenic Area today to enjoy the beautiful scenery and experience the tranquility and beauty of nature, but this sudden downpour completely disrupted their plans.

Lu Yong returned to the bedside, gently nudged Hannah, and said softly, "Hannah, get up. But we probably can't go to Woniu Lake today; it's raining heavily outside."

Hannah slowly opened her eyes. Hearing Lu Yong's words, she sat up, looked out the window, frowned at the torrential rain, but quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, there are ways to have fun in the rain. Maybe we can discover some different kinds of fun in Heihe."

Looking at Hannah's optimistic smile, Lu Yong felt much more relaxed. He smiled and said, "You're right, let's take a walk around the neighborhood today."

After washing up and having a simple breakfast, the two of them packed their backpacks and headed out.

The rain outside was still pouring down, and they walked carefully down the street, holding umbrellas.

Rain pattered against the umbrella, making a crackling sound. There were few pedestrians on the street, with only a few cars hurrying by occasionally.

Lu Yong and Hannah strolled hand in hand in the rain. Although they couldn't go to Woniu Lake, the unique atmosphere made them feel novel.

"Let's go to the nearby shopping mall. We can escape the rain there and see what's fun," Lu Yong suggested.

Hannah's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Great! I've been wanting to go to the mall for ages. Maybe I can find something I like."

So they quickened their pace and headed towards the nearby shopping mall.

As they entered the mall, Hannah happily skipped and hopped around, running from one store to another.

"Lu Yong, look how pretty the clothes are in this store! Let's go in and take a look." Hannah took Lu Yong's hand and led him into a clothing store.

The store was filled with clothes of all styles, in a dazzling array of colors.

Hannah wandered among the clothes racks, her eyes constantly scanning each garment, occasionally picking one up and trying it on.

Lu Yong followed behind Hannah, smiling as he watched her.

At that moment, Hannah picked up a light blue dress and tried it on in front of the mirror. The dress was made of chiffon, light and flowing, and the hem swayed gently as she walked, like a blooming blue flower.

Hannah twirled around and asked Lu Yong, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Lu Yong's eyes widened, and he nodded quickly, saying, "It looks good, this color suits you very well."

Hannah smiled happily upon hearing this. She then picked up another white shirt and paired it with a black skirt, making her look both capable and stylish.

She asked Lu Yong for his opinion again, and Lu Yong still praised her highly.

Hannah was torn, unsure which one to choose.

"Lu Yong, which one should I choose? I like both of them so much," Hannah said, frowning and looking somewhat troubled.

Lu Yong said with a smile, "Why don't we buy them all? You'll look good in any of them."

Hannah hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and said, "But wouldn't it be too wasteful to buy them all?"

Lu Yong said, "It's okay. It's rare to find clothes we like, and since it's raining today, let's just consider it a special shopping experience."

Hannah thought about it and felt that Lu Yong made sense, so she decided to buy both items.

Just as she was about to pay, Lu Yong suddenly said, "Hannah, I also want to buy an outfit. Let's pick one out together."

Hannah laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll help you choose."

They went to the men's clothing section, and Lu Yong was browsing among the clothes racks.

Hannah, on the other hand, acted as a little advisor, giving him suggestions from the side.

She picked up a black casual suit, held it up against Lu Yong, and said, "Lu Yong, try this on. I think you'll look really handsome in it."

Lu Yong smiled as he took the clothes and went into the fitting room.

A short while later, Lu Yong came out wearing that black casual suit.

The suit was well-tailored, making his figure appear even more upright.

Hannah looked at Lu Yong, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Wow, Lu Yong, you look so handsome in this outfit, just like a male lead in a movie."

Lu Yong was a little embarrassed by Hannah's compliment. He smiled and said, "Really? I think it's pretty good. I'll take this one."

Next, Hannah helped Lu Yong choose a pair of trousers to match his suit and a pair of leather shoes.

After putting it on, Lu Yong looked completely refreshed and more energetic.

Hannah looked at Lu Yong with satisfaction and said, "Perfect, this outfit suits you perfectly."

Looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Yong was quite satisfied, so he decided to buy the outfit.

After paying, the two happily continued shopping in the mall, carrying their shopping bags.

They arrived at a movie theater and saw a popular movie playing. Hannah excitedly said, "Lu Yong, let's go see a movie! I've wanted to see this movie for a long time."

Lu Yong smiled and said, "Great! We're tired from shopping, so we can sit down and rest."

They bought movie tickets, some popcorn, and drinks, and went into the screening room. (End of Chapter)
