Chapter 430 The Rickety Mr. Wei
Song Miaomiao did not embarrass Shi Lei too much. The place she took him to was a slow-life neighborhood in the Wetland Park. It was full of relatively quiet cafes and bars. They found a bar near the water and the two of them sat on the side. By the window, they were drinking wine, just like an ordinary couple.
The music in the bar was very soft, and the singer wasn't singing at the top of his lungs. After a long day of traveling, and a little alcohol stimulation, Shi Lei and Song Miaomiao were chatting, and they actually fell asleep with their heads tilted.
Song Miaomiao looked at Shi Lei who was sleeping, with a slightly disappointed expression on his face. He sighed slightly and did not disturb him. Instead, he quietly followed the singer on the stage and hummed silently.
When Shi Lei woke up, he found Song Miaomiao leaning quietly on his shoulder with his eyes open. There were no more two or three tables of people left in the bar. The singers' performance had also ended, but softer music was playing. The whole environment seemed ambiguous and ambiguous. Warm.
Feeling Shi Lei's shoulders move, Song Miaomiao straightened up, looked at him and said, "Are you awake?"
Shi Lei wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said blankly: "How long have I been sleeping?"
"More than an hour, I thought you really planned to sleep here all night."
"Sorry, I was really tired. I left the house early this morning, and then..."
"Okay, I know, you returned to Wudong from the imperial capital, ran to Xixi without even eating two bites of lunch, and then met my grandfather, and had a fight after the meeting. After dinner with me, Yao Keji called him away again. You’ve said this seven or eight times.”
Under the dim light, Song Miaomiao, wearing a wig, no longer looked so strong. At this moment, she also looked a little tired, but she was a little more peaceful after calming down. She was no longer the arrogant Shui Ye, but she really looked like a lady.
Shi Lei felt somewhat guilty and took the initiative to grab Song Miaomiao's hand: "Sorry, I'm just too tired. Let's have a drink."
Song Miaomiao glanced at Shi Lei in surprise, then looked at the hand held by Shi Lei, and suddenly smiled.
"You have a conscience." Song Miaomiao drank a glass of wine with Shi Lei, and then leaned into Shi Lei's arms.
To be honest, Shi Lei was not very used to this, but with a bit of guilt, he and Song Miaomiao cuddled up to each other motionless.
At around two o'clock, the waiters had already begun to clear away, which was a signal that the business was about to close.
Song Miaomiao stood up and said, "Let's go too."
Shi Lei felt a little uneasy, wondering if Song Miaomiao would have any other tricks, but Song Miaomiao added: "Today is over, you should go about your business first. When you are done, remember that you owe me Yes, it’s not too demanding, I’ll go to Tahiti for a vacation with my wife.”
Shi Lei could only agree.
After sending Shi Lei back to the hotel first, Song Miaomiao didn't stop and said good night to Shi Lei without even getting out of the car.
Back at the hotel, Shi Lei was already exhausted and fell on the bed the next morning.
When he woke up before nine o'clock, Shi Lei was still a little sleepy, but he didn't dare to go back to sleep. He took a shower and brushed his teeth. He didn't eat breakfast, went to the front desk to pay the bill, and went straight to the train station.
After buying the nearest high-speed rail ticket, Shi Lei returned to Wudong.
On the way, Shi Lei called Wei Changqing. Wei Changqing answered the phone and asked Shi Lei to meet him at the mansion on the top of Qinglong Mountain.
It was almost noon when Shi Lei arrived at Qinglong Mountain, but Wei Changqing had been waiting there for a long time.
This time, Shi Lei didn't see the gatekeeper at the door, nor did he see the unsmiling housekeeper.
Wei Changqing was the only one in the entire house.
The door opened and Shi Lei drove directly in. He saw Wei Changqing holding a water hose on the lawn and watering the lawn.
This was Shi Lei's first time seeing Wei Changqing, but he had known Wei Changqing's appearance for a long time. Wei Xingyue had shown him his family portrait.
Looking out of the car window, Wei Changqing has a hunched back, a water pipe in his hand, and a pair of long rain boots on his feet. He does not look like a hero at all, but looks like an ordinary gardener who is finishing the work. The work of the master.
This is probably the so-called hero's end.
Shi Lei stopped the car and slowly walked towards Wei Changqing, and Wei Changqing just straightened up and turned around and smiled at Shi Lei.
"Coming?" Wei Changqing put down the water hose in his hand. The water hose was still spraying water into the air, and finally fell on the lawn, like a light rain in a very small area.
Shi Lei smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Wei."
Wei Changqing clapped his hands and said, "Go in and sit down. I'll turn off the faucet."
Then, he put his hands behind his back. He didn't look too lonely, but his rickety figure still made people feel a little sad.
Watching Wei Changqing walk to a corner of the lawn, turn off the faucet, then take off the rain boots on his feet, put on a pair of cloth shoes, then pick up the top hanging aside and put it on.
It was a plain white Tang suit, made of coarse linen, just like Wei Changqing, rough and mottled.
Wei Changqing took Shi Lei upstairs and walked into a study room. This was the place that Shi Lei had entered the last time he came here. It was vaguely familiar, but felt extremely strange.
"Haha, speaking of it, we are somewhat destined. Although we haven't met each other for the first time, it is still here." Wei Changqing sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and then pointed to the study. Ikkaku: "I've given them all a vacation. You can make whatever you want to drink. There's tea, coffee, etc. over there."
Shi Lei waved his hand and said: "No need. I heard from Xingyue that Mr. Wei has been staying behind closed doors these days and sees no one. Even Wei Boti can't see you?"
Wei Changqing smiled, put down the teacup, and said: "What's the point of meeting again? I told you that it's almost time to give up. Tell me how the current situation is?"
Shi Lei nodded and told the general situation, and a bitter smile appeared on Wei Changqing's face.
"It seems that I found you in the right place. Although you couldn't let the Eyes of Dark Night interfere with this matter, we finally got a pretty good result. Thank you, young man!"
Shi Lei was silent.
"Try the old man's craftsmanship." Wei Changqing stood up and walked out of the study with his hands still clasped behind his back.
Shi Lei followed and saw Wei Changqing walking into the kitchen, rolling up his sleeves and turning on the fire on the stove.
The things had been prepared a long time ago, and Wei Changqing should have let them take a break only after they were packed away.
What surprised Shi Lei was that a person like Wei Changqing was quite good at stir-frying. In just a short time, four dishes and one soup were ready.
"Let's have a drink with the old man. This may be the only time we can sit at the same table and drink." Wei Changqing put down his sleeves, served two dishes, and said: "Don't be idle, serve the dishes!"
Helping Wei Changqing bring the dishes to the restaurant, Wei Changqing added: "I'm going to get a bottle of wine. It's the last bottle. The Maotai I bought when I was young must have been at home for thirty years. I drank one bottle and lost one bottle, and now it's too late." It’s the last bottle.”
Watching Wei Changqing go to get the wine, Shi Lei suddenly had some omen in his heart. What Wei Changqing said to him today seemed to be a farewell.
It was normal to say goodbye to Shi Lei. In any case, it would be difficult for them to meet again. But Shi Lei felt that this matter was not that simple, but he was powerless and unable to stop it.
