The bustle dissipated, and everyone was no longer noisy. Parents could not have a good rest, and the children dispersed. Li Wei also returned to his room.
I drank a few glasses of wine tonight. The alcohol content of red wine is not as high as that of white wine, but it still has enough stamina. As soon as she entered the house, she wanted to curl up under the warm quilt and have a good sleep. However, not long after she entered the door and had only half taken off her coat, there was a knock on the door outside.
Li Wei didn't ask who it was, so he stepped forward and showed the door. The person standing outside was naturally Li Jianbo, holding a paper bag in his hand.
The cold wind was blowing outside, and Li Wei turned sideways to invite her second brother inside.
"Are you going to sleep?" Li Jianbo glanced at the opened bed.
"Well, that's pretty much it."
"When we were eating just now, I didn't have time to bless you, and the gift was not delivered to you. You take this." Li Jianbo handed over a red and white bag in his hand.
Li smiled and said: "What good things can second brother buy?"
"You won't know until you open it."
Li Wei didn't have the habit of opening gifts in front of others. She said thank you and put the paper bag on the desk over there. She thought it was impossible to accept his gift and then push the person away immediately. She would The chair next to the desk was moved over for Jianbo to sit on.
Li Jianbo took advantage of the situation and took one of Li Wei's hands and said, "Sit here. I don't know when I will talk to you like this next time. I am on New Year's Day and I have to go to work. I hope I can still go to the airport to see you off." you."
"It doesn't matter, second brother's work is more important." Li Wei's eyes were a little dodgey. Ever since Jian Bo unilaterally expressed his feelings, Li Wei had not dared to look directly into his eyes and felt awkward getting along with him. Although they had talked openly about it, Li Wei was still a little at a loss when the two of them stayed in the same room.
"No, family always comes before work, and the same goes for you."
Li Jianbo's hands were very warm, and his broad palm held her tightly. Li Wei wanted to shrink back at this moment.
"Did you tell him that you were going to England?"
Jianbo didn't tell him this, but Li Wei also knew that he was referring to Zhao Qian.
Li Wei shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with him."
"Well, I still hope that you can make a few more good friends and expand your social circle. You can also make two foreign friends. Having more friends will open up a wider path."
Li Jianbo was talking nonchalantly, and Li Wei kept nodding in agreement. She lowered her head and could not clearly see the expression on her face at the moment.
Li Jianbo talked for a long time, but Li Wei didn't react much. He couldn't continue talking. He thought it wouldn't be good to disturb Li Wei's sleep. He had to get up early tomorrow and rush back to work, so he couldn't delay it any longer. .
Li Jianbo let go of his hand, and Li Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But Li Jianbo stood in front of her and made a request: "Let me hug you for the last time."
Li Jianbo stretched out his arms, waiting for Li Wei to fall into his arms, but Li Wei did not respond immediately. The situation was very awkward for a time. Then a voice from behind suddenly said: "Wei Wei, you are not asleep yet. Last night you said "Leng, I'll bring you another quilt." Liu Chunzhi just finished her words when she saw that Jian Bo was also in the room. What was he doing with his hands open
The mother's sudden appearance shocked both of them, and Li Jianbo took the opportunity to say: "Weiwei, go to bed early, good night."
"Good night, second brother."
Li Jianbo turned around and went downstairs. Liu Chunzhi helped her daughter put the quilt on the bed and asked, "What did your second brother say to you?"
Li Wei said: "I just said a few words."
"Oh, after all, he has stayed outside for ten years. He knows what it's like abroad better than we do. You heard him right."
"Yes." Li Wei agreed in a low voice.
The next day, before Li Wei got up, Li Jianbo went back to the city. When Li Wei got up, she opened the paper bag her second brother gave her. There were two paper boxes in the paper bag. She took out the small red box first and opened it. There was a credit card inside. Cards are encased in plastic sleeves. There is also a white box below, which is rectangular. She took it out and saw that it was a gemstone necklace, shining even more brightly under the light.
Two such precious things cannot be afforded even for one, let alone two. Li Wei felt uneasy.
Li Wei also went back to the city the next day, found the landlord, checked out the room, and went back to the TV station to get the completed procedures. She did not go to Cuiwei Road again. There are still ten days left before departure. She planned to use this short time to go out for another trip, to a city she had always wanted to go to but hadn't been able to.
She dragged her suitcase, packed a few changes of clothes, bought a plane ticket and set off.
Walking on a strange street, there are strange faces coming and going. Quiet town, quaint streets, life here is very slow. Make a cup of fragrant tea and spend the day soaking in the sunshine.
Soak up the sun during the day, and go to a bar like other tourists at night to regain some youthful vitality.
After staying in the ancient town for about four days, she set out on her way home again. Choose to spend the last few days with your family. It was finally time to set off. Li Wei said goodbye to his parents, smiled and said to them: "One year has passed in the blink of an eye, wait for me, I will be back soon."
Liu Chunzhi's face was full of reluctance, but she still wished her daughter: "Take care of yourself outside."
Li Wei said goodbye to his family one by one. Li Jianbo urged from the front: "Wei Wei, it's time to go."
A year is just a blink of an eye, and we will be together again soon.
Li Jianping helped Li Wei move the suitcase into the trunk of the car, and Li Jianbo took her to the airport.
Li Wei finally got into the car, Li Jianbo lit the ignition, and the car drove out of the gate. The distance between their families and them is getting further and further.
The weather was not very good that day. The sky was foggy and the visibility was not high. After getting on the highway, I drove more cautiously.
"I hope that when you come back in a year, the TV station can arrange a good place for you. You can be considered as gold-plated."
"I hope so. Although I won't be able to master a certain skill in a year, it is still a rare and good opportunity. It will also add something to my resume."
When we arrived at the airport, the flight to London was still an hour and a half away, but the weather today was not that ideal and I didn’t know if it would be delayed.
The flight was eventually delayed for half an hour. Fortunately, the sun came out behind us, breaking through the fog and bringing warmth. It's time to check in. Li Wei held the suitcase in her hand, and Li Jianbo said beside her: "Then I say goodbye to you."
Li Jianbo nodded and said, "Well, I hope everything is safe for you."
When he stretched out his arms to Li Wei again, Li Wei did not refuse his hug this time. Li Jianbo whispered in Li Wei's ear with a very small voice: "I'm waiting for you."
