At seven o'clock in the evening, the Lanting Room of Linjiang Tea House.
Li Wei looked at the text message sent by Zhao Qian, and she quickly replied: "Okay."
The knot between them needs to be slowly untied. They cannot be friends in time, nor can they be enemies for a lifetime. But tonight my second brother is going with me, so maybe it’s not a good time to open up.
Li Wei is busy taking language classes. It is now the break time. Every time at this time, the foreign teachers will chat with the students casually. It is also the best time to practice speaking.
"Classmate, don't be anxious, you can speak slowly." The foreign teacher is a fashionable girl with blond hair and blue eyes. She should be about the same age as Li Wei. She has been working as a teacher in a training institution here.
Li Wei adjusted herself to be considerate and generous in talking to foreign teachers. In the past two weeks, through systematic study, her language has improved rapidly.
"Student Li Wei, are you planning to study abroad in the future?"
Li Wei shook his head and said: "I never thought about it this way. I just took advantage of the vacation to systematically learn foreign languages."
Those who come to the training school are either for exams or to prepare for going abroad. There are not many people like Li Wei who just want to learn a language.
The foreign teacher recommended two foreign novels and a British drama. After school, Li Wei went to the bookstore and found a book in a foreign language after searching for a long time. Then she went home to watch a drama. She tried not to read the subtitles, hoping to improve her speaking skills.
At about six o'clock, Li Jianbo came back.
Seeing his second brother's worried look, Li Wei had no choice but to let him go. When Li Wei changed into a long skirt and was about to go out, Li Jianbo stopped her and said seriously: "Don't wear a skirt, please wear pants?"
"Why?"
Li Jianbo couldn't honestly say that he had selfish motives and didn't want other men to see Li Wei's beauty, so he could only mutter: "I think you look good in pants. Your legs look long and straight."
At the insistence of his second brother, Li Wei had to change into a pair of jeans and a red T-shirt.
Li Jianbo nodded with satisfaction: "Well, he looks a few years younger and still looks like a student."
Li Wei was confused, but he took the second brother's words as a compliment.
The two drove to Linjiang Tea House. When they arrived, Zhao Qian hadn't arrived yet. Li Jianbo felt angry and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "You really think you are a celebrity, you have such a big air."
Li Wei hurriedly comforted him: "He is a public figure, it is not that convenient to come in and out, and it won't matter if he is a little late."
"You are really facing him." Li Jianbo himself didn't realize that his words were a bit sour.
About a quarter of an hour later, footsteps were heard. Qiu Kai was walking in front, followed by Zhao Qian.
After Zhao Qian entered the house, he saw that both brothers and sisters were there. He was stunned, but he still extended a friendly hand to Li Jianbo.
Li Jianbo shook hands with Zhao Qian out of courtesy, and Zhao Qian then said hello to Li Wei.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Li Wei just nodded and smiled. Zhao Qian had been ill for a while, and his complexion did not look very good, and his skin also had a sallow color. I've also lost a lot of weight, but I'm still in good spirits. Today he was wearing a black cotton and linen cardigan, matching it with baggy trousers of the same color. Thanks to his good figure and tall enough, if others were dressed like this, it would probably look like they were wearing a sack. Coupled with his unique temperament, he can really control such a very unappealing dress.
Suddenly there were two more light bulbs. Zhao Qian had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.
They ordered food and sat together to eat slowly. Li Wei's appetite was not very good, he ate very little, and he never picked up many dishes with chopsticks. Zhao Qian naturally noticed this and asked with concern: "Are these dishes not in line with Miss Li's taste?"
"It's okay. I didn't eat much at night."
She was so thin that if the wind got stronger, she would be blown away. Zhao Qian frowned and said, "You are still worried about gaining weight. Don't treat yourself harshly to maintain your figure."
Li Wei didn't think about too many explanations, his attitude was as cold as ever, and he said slowly: "How can..."
Li Jianbo sat aside and watched the two people talking quietly until they finished eating. Qiu Kai thought it was pointless to be a light bulb like this, so he stood up and proactively said to Li Jianbo: "Mr. Li, I have a few words that I want to say to you alone. Is it possible to make it easier?"
Qiu Kai's intention was obvious. Li Jianbo was also a smart man, so he naturally understood it. He didn't look at Zhao Qian and only said to Li Wei, "I'll give you ten minutes."
Ten minutes is probably just enough time to say hello to each other and nothing to talk about. Although Zhao Qian was reluctant, he had no choice but to agree.
Li Wei promised her second brother: "Second brother, please wait for me outside. I will leave after saying a few words to him."
Although Li Jianbo was not at ease with the two of them being alone, he expected nothing would happen in ten minutes, and his sister was not a vegetarian.
After they were the only two people left in the room, Li Wei first expressed concern for Zhao Qian: "Are you completely healed? There are no sequelae, right?"
Facing Li Wei's concern, Zhao Qian seemed a little excited: "Thanks to your concern, everything is fine."
"That's good. But does that affect you?"
"It's not clear yet, the scheduled scenes are still being filmed normally."
"That's good." Li Wei said this, and the two fell into a brief silence.
Outside, Qiu Kai and Li Jianbo stood side by side under the window. Qiu Kai looked around with his eyes to see if anyone from the media was approaching.
"Has the other actor been sentenced?"
Qiu Kai smiled and said: "It's not that fast. But the boss was able to escape last time, thanks to Mr. Li. I would like to say thank you to Mr. Li on behalf of our boss."
Li Jianbo didn't take it seriously either. Qiu Kai handed Li Jianbo a cigarette. Li Jianbo waved his hand and said, "Thank you, I don't smoke."
The person in front of him was probably some kind of personal assistant named Zhao. He must know a lot about Zhao. He asked Qiu Kai: "Zhao Qian is usually very busy at work, right?"
Qiu Kai said with a smile: "A lot of times in the actor's profession, it's a wheel-turn. It's common to have irregular work and rest schedules. It's said that the boss hasn't had a break for nearly a year."
"So there are many directors looking for him to film?"
"Almost, but the boss is very picky now and won't take roles he doesn't like."
Qiu Kai knew what Zhao Qian was thinking, so he tried his best to create an image of a good young man who worked hard and made progress in front of Li Jianbo.
After talking for a few words, Li Jianbo glanced at the time and it was already ten minutes. He glanced at the door over there and thought it was time to ask Li Wei to leave.
At this time, he suddenly asked Qiu Kai: "How far have the two of them progressed?"
"Which step? Didn't they share a room before? They also slept on the same bed..."
Before Qiu Kai finished speaking, Li Jianbo grabbed his collar and asked, "Is everything you said true?"
Qiu Kai was a little panicked when he saw the anger on Li Jianbo's face. Oops, he said something he shouldn't have said. But if there is no help in the relationship between the two, he is afraid that there will be no progress in his life, so he continued: "It was all a few years ago. Didn't Miss Li mention our boss? "
With a bang, Li Jianbo suddenly felt his blood rushing upwards. He clenched his fists and wanted to explain clearly to Zhao Qian.
