After dinner, Li Wei went to take a bath to relieve the fatigue of the day. Then she went back to her room. When she opened the door, she saw Li Jianbo sitting at her desk, playing with the Walkman that had not been used for a long time. He seemed to want to repair it. Table full of components.
"Second brother, there's no need to fix it. I don't use it to listen to music anymore."
"I saw you still kept it, so I thought you were reluctant to throw it away. I'll give it a try and forget it if it can't be repaired."
Li Wei heard that he had no choice but to let him go, and silently went to get a hair dryer to dry his hair.
Li Jianbo tightened the last screw. He did his best.
Then he took out a box of tapes from the drawer and put it in. The sizzling sound of electricity was obvious. After the prelude, some hoarse singing came out.
"I once loved a boy. He said that I was as beautiful as a flower. On every moonlit night, he came to my window and sang..."
A gentle and deep female voice came out. Although the sound quality was greatly reduced, you could still barely hear it.
Li Wei had turned off the hair dryer, combed his hair with a comb, and said in surprise: "Second brother, you are so good. Yesterday I couldn't make any sound, but today you fixed it."
Li Jianbo smiled and touched his nose and said, "I haven't played with these things for a long time. I thought I was too clumsy."
There was only the sound of music in the room, and neither of them spoke to each other.
After listening to a song, Li Jianbo saw that Li Wei's hair was still dripping with water, so he said to her: "Come here."
Li Wei didn't know why, but she still walked over. Li Jianbo stood up at this time, pulled out the chair under him, let Li Wei sit down, and then wiped Li Wei's hair carefully with a towel, wiped the hair, and took a hair dryer to help her dry it. head.
Li Jianbo's movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting Li Wei's scalp.
The hot air from the hair dryer made her scalp feel itchy. Li Wei enjoyed the attentive service provided by her second brother, and her mood became sunny.
Twenty minutes later, Li Jianbo finally turned off the hair dryer, handed the comb to Li Wei, and said, "You can comb it yourself, I'm not good at it."
"Thank you, second brother!" Li Wei turned her head. Because of the hot weather, her cheeks looked a little red, and her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, which looked shiny under the light.
"I told you before that you must blow dry your hair before going to bed, otherwise you will get a headache and forget it again?"
Li Wei didn't speak, he just took a comb and slowly combed his hair. Li Jianbo stood beside Li Wei, but what he was thinking about was the pressure his sister had been under these days, and he wanted to share it with her. Li Jianbo suddenly bent his knees and squatted down in front of Li Wei.
"Second brother!" Li Wei's expression seemed a little nervous, but in Jian Bo's eyes, he was full of defense. He stretched out his hand to gently push away the broken hair from Li Wei's forehead, rubbed her brow and said, "Be happy."
Li Wei nodded.
Jian Bo wanted to say something else, but Liu Chunzhi suddenly walked in.
"Wei Wei, I have something to tell you."
Both of them looked towards the door. Jian Bo stood up. He seemed a little guilty. He smiled and said hello to his mother, and then went back to his room.
When Jian Bo went downstairs, he happened to see Jian Ping under a tree. Jian Ping was standing there smoking.
"Would you like one?"
Jian Bo waved his hand and said, "I stopped smoking a long time ago."
Jian Ping smiled and said: "You can still quit smoking, you are really good at it!" He said and gave Jian Bo a thumbs up.
Jian Bo smiled helplessly: "I don't like smoking this in the first place. If you can listen to my advice, brother, you should smoke less. After all, this is not good for your health. You have seen with your own eyes what kind of condition dad was in before. of."
The brothers rarely see each other and plan to walk and talk together.
The summer night wind does not seem so cool, as if it still carries the heat of the day.
"This summer may be very hot. It's already over 30 degrees here before the sun sets."
"Yes." Jian Bo seemed to have something on his mind, and his mood seemed a little low.
The brothers came and went for a while, and finally Jianping sat down in a pavilion. Jian Bo also sat on the stone bench nearby.
"You still can't let go of her, can you?"
Although Jianping didn't say it clearly, Jianbo naturally knew what his elder brother was talking about. He smiled and said, "So what if you can't let go. I think this way of getting along is the best."
"There is no news about the person named Zhao. He probably abandoned him and hurt her a lot. I haven't read any books, and I don't know how to comfort people. I don't care when I see her in a daze. I know what to say, so I have to ask you to help her and enlighten her. Maybe she will agree to you in a moment."
Jian Bo said mockingly: "If I choose to take action at this time, doesn't it look like I'm taking advantage of others' danger?"
"Jianbo, I just realized that you live too rationally. My brother is slightly older than you. Although he doesn't have much knowledge, he can understand some aspects better than you. Listen to my brother, sometimes you can't be too rational about emotional matters. Otherwise, you don’t even know how much you have lost. All you have to do is seize the opportunity. We can’t ignore her being bullied. I hope you can make up for the pain in her heart and help her cheer up as soon as possible. Mom wants to come. I’m happy, I don’t need to rush you anymore.”
"I've already been rejected by her."
"There is a saying called perseverance, right? It's nothing if you fail just once. A man must have the determination to pursue it." Jian Ping patted Jian Bo on the shoulder.
Jian Bo didn't speak this time.
The two brothers sat in the pavilion for a while. There were so many mosquitoes. Finally Jianping stood up and said: "Okay, I have said what I should say. I will keep it secret for you for the time being. Wait until your matter is finalized. It’s not too late to tell her. Work hard. In my opinion, there is no one more suitable than you.”
However, this time Li Jianbo was not sure at all.
The next day, Li Wei made an appointment with Chen Yashi to go shopping, and Jian Bo offered to send Li Wei there. Li Wei agreed, Jianbo drove the car, Li Wei sat in the passenger seat, and she turned on the DVD in the car.
Jian Bo drove the car while Li Wei listened to the music quietly.
"Wei, how about you buy another car?"
Li smiled and said: "My brother, now I have a shadow about driving and am a little scared."
"What are you afraid of? Without a car, it will be inconvenient for you to get in and out of anywhere. You were driving quite well before. You are much safer than my elder brother."
Li Jianbo also experienced Jianping's boldness.
However, Li Wei really has no such plan for the time being. The main reason is that she has no money. She wants to save a sum of money for decoration as soon as possible and move out from her second brother's place as soon as possible. Li Wei feels a little sorry that she always lives under the same roof.
