Views:

As the plane slowly lowered its altitude, it was inevitable that there would be some bumps. The radio in the cabin had already sounded. After a burst of familiar music, a female voice was heard announcing: "Hello fellow passengers, welcome to this flight." , we have now arrived at Capital International Airport, the outdoor temperature is 23°C, and we feel comfortable... "

Li Wei rubbed her eyes. After staying on the plane for nearly three hours, she finally arrived safely. After the plane landed, she turned on her phone. It was 4:30 in the afternoon. The time was just right. Everyone was waiting for the cabin door to open. A moment. She unbuckled her seatbelt, stood up and took her bag, then lined up to get off the plane.

Li Wei found his checked suitcase, carrying his satchel and dragging the suitcase with one hand as he walked towards the terminal building. As soon as she got off the plane, she felt the warm wind in the capital, which quickly blew her long hair into chaos and had to be temporarily tied up with a rubber band.

As she walked out of the terminal, she caught sight of Li Jianbo who was waiting for her to come out at the exit. Li Wei waved happily to her second brother. Li Jianbo also saw her and took a few steps to help Li Wei pull the box. .

The brother and sister left the airport. Li Wei followed the second brother to the parking lot. Li Jianbo got into a red Audi. Li Wei said in surprise: "Why is the second brother changing cars again?"

"This is my colleague's car. I borrowed it to drive. It's not convenient to take a taxi. You can get in the car." Li Jianbo leaned over and helped open the passenger door. Li Wei bent over and got in the car. After closing the door and fastening his seat belt, Li Jianping started the engine and pulled the handbrake.

"Flying is quite tiring, how about I take you directly to the hotel to rest?"

"Okay, second brother, thank you for your trouble."

Li Jianbo smiled. In the car, Li Wei was concerned about Li Jianbo's work here. Li Jianbo replied: "I've been used to it for a long time. Apart from being busier than before, I don't have any other problems. Also, the climate is worse than in my hometown." It’s really dry, so you need to take good care of your skin.”

Li smiled and said: "Second brother has also begun to pay attention to skin care, and it has become more and more refined as time goes by."

Li Jianbo laughed and said, "You are still a rough guy, but the wind is too dry. If you don't put on some moisturizer, a layer of skin will peel off, and you will turn into a snake accidentally."

Li Wei laughed sincerely after listening to his second brother's words. Hearing his sister's laughter, Li Jianbo felt very happy. The happiness on his sister's face could not be deceived, so this was good.

"Zhao Qian knows you are coming to the capital, right?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "Well, I talked to him on the phone last night. He said that we would all get together tonight and treat my second brother to dinner."

"Okay, I happen to be free tonight."

Li Jianbo kept driving, and it was already an hour later when he arrived at the hotel where he was staying. Li Wei went to the front desk to check in and got the room card.

After returning to the room, Li Jianbo sat on the sofa and watched TV. Li Wei went to the bathroom to change clothes, and then called Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian was very excited when he received the call: "Are you already here? I'm really sorry, I'm too busy here to pick you up."

Li Wei said: "It doesn't matter, you have work to do, I've already arrived at the hotel. Did you forget about dinner tonight?"

Zhao Qian said: "Of course I haven't forgotten. I have already booked the hotel. I will be done with my work in half an hour. See you at 6:30."

Li Wei looked at the time and saw that there was still more than half an hour left. She said, "Okay, there's no rush. Just be careful on the road."

Li Wei hung up the phone and said to Jian Bo, "Second brother, I'm afraid I'm going out again soon. Zhao Qian said he has already booked a place."

"Where is the location?"

"It's said to be a Hunan restaurant outside Xizhimen. It seems that the name of the restaurant is Xiang Meizi."

"Then you have to go quickly. There is a traffic jam here during the evening rush hour. The normal drive takes less than twenty minutes, but if there is a traffic jam, it will take twice as long."

Li Wei didn't have time to rest, so he carried his bag, took a long cardigan and went out.

It was early for them to go out, but as Li Jianbo said, it was during the evening rush hour, and the traffic jam started just after they went out and passed a street intersection. The long and busy traffic made them anxious.

"I've long been used to traffic jams. Let's relax." Li Jianbo was not worried at all. He turned on the radio and the music flowed out. It was a familiar song. Li Jianbo couldn't help but hum along softly: "If Those two words didn't tremble, I wouldn't have noticed, no matter how hard I said them, it was just a breakup..."

Li Jianbo's voice is also very special. Li Wei listened quietly at the side, fascinated. It wasn't until he finished singing the song that the car in front slowly moved forward, and Li Jianbo stepped on the accelerator.

"The second brother is actually quite talented in music. He could play the guitar without deliberately learning it when he was in high school. Later he learned to play the violin. He played it so well and had a good singing voice. I remember being in a bar in Beihai many years ago. Here, if you sing up here, you can inspire the enthusiasm below. It might be a good idea if you pursue a career in music."

Li Jianbo laughed loudly when he heard about it: "My sister, there are a lot of people you praise who are more proficient than me, but there are only a few who really become singers and musicians. I can only play and sing. , but I don’t know how to create. Just treat it as a hobby.”

This journey took the brother and sister almost fifty minutes to arrive, and it was almost seven o'clock when they finally found the restaurant Zhao Qian mentioned.

Fortunately, Zhao Qian had arrived early and Qiu Kai was also present. From the moment he walked in, Li Wei could clearly feel that the atmosphere between the two men had changed a lot.

Zhao Qian wore a simple knitted dark blue long-sleeved T-shirt and black jeans. He was tall and straight. Needless to say, he was the most conspicuous one when he stood in the crowd.

Zhao Qian handed the menu to Li Wei and asked her to order. Li Wei ordered a signature dish and a soup, and gave the rest to them.

While Zhao Qian was talking to Li Jianbo, Qiu Kai was also greeting Li Wei and telling Li Wei about Zhao Qian's recent work status.

"When I'm participating in a script discussion meeting, I'm afraid it won't end until two days."

Li Wei was surprised and asked quickly: "Did he participate in the production again?"

"Yes, it's one of the producers. It's a movie, and it's planned to be released in time for the New Year."

"The Chinese New Year is still more than half a year away. Isn't it a little rushed?"

Qiu Kai smiled and said: "No, the production period should be enough."

The food was soon on the table, and Li Jianbo was also concerned about Zhao Qian's new drama. It seemed that Zhao Qian had not been affected much after disappearing for so long, which was a good thing.

Before the meal was finished, someone came to see Li Jianbo. Li Jianbo hurriedly said goodbye to them: "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. Weiwei must call me before going back, and I have to ask you to bring things back for me. "

Seeing Jian Bo's hurry, Li Wei couldn't persuade him to stay, so he had no choice but to agree.
