Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Seeing her embarrassed and painful, her heart felt like a needle stick. If love brings people such bitterness and pain, it is better to let her be happy.

"Wei, go and do what you want to do. Becoming a brother will always support you."

Li Wei stared at him blankly, did he finally figure it out? The second brother is still her respected second brother.

"Second brother!"

Standing alone on the bed and one under the bed, this time Li Jianbo stretched out his hand to reach her.

He promised her: "I am here."

"I want to listen to you sing, listen to you play the guitar."

"Good." Li Jianbo replied readily: "What song do you want to listen to?"

"It's okay." Li Wei slowly sat back on the bed, and they returned to their respective positions.

Li Jianbo sat down again, hugged the guitar, pressed the strings lightly, and sang in a low voice: "IfyoumissthetrainI'mon, YouwillknowthatIamgone..."

Only the first sentence Li Wei felt so familiar, she even sang the following sentence gently: "Youcanhearthewhistleblowahundredmiles, Ahundredmiles, ahundredmiles..."

Li Jianbo stopped singing, only to accompany Li Wei. Her intonation had probably drifted to the Atlantic Ocean, but she memorized every word skillfully without missing a single sentence.

Li Wei sang the song without knowing it, and finally said to Li Jianbo a little excited: "Second brother, when I was in my senior year in high school, I used the walkman to listen to this song, and I would sing it after a long time. I was thinking of you when I first song, I wonder if you are living well on the other side of the ocean, why didn’t you say a word? Later, when I was confused, I would sing this song when I didn’t know how to move forward, and I would feel that you were by my side. Looking at me and encouraging me..." As he talked, tears suddenly fell down. He was clearly talking about happy things, and Li Wei didn't know why he was in such pain.

Li Jianbo put down the guitar, he sat over, sighed, and took her over with his long arm, his chin rested lightly on her head, and Li Wei's soft hair swept his face. It was that softness, like a feather flying across his cheek, making his heart soft like a feather.

"I like to listen to folk-style music. I have collected a lot of original soundtracks of The Journeymen. I also learned the violin at that time. Whenever I feel homesick, I will play this tune. It’s night, what each of you is doing, how should I come back to face you if I do nothing."

Li Wei didn't know how to suddenly become so hypocritical. Perhaps the second brother's existence had a special meaning in her heart, who could not be replaced. In these years, he has never gone far and has always been by her side. Now it is him who is left, and he has become the one who is going to leave, as if he has returned to the early spring time ten years ago.

Li Jianbo's warm big hands stroked her tear-stained face, and finally gently kissed her moist and slightly salty eyelids, holding her shoulders, and whispering in her ear: "Don't say a year I will wait for you to come back for three to five years, ten or twenty years."

She finally stretched out her hands to hug her brother, and tears wet his shoulders again.

They embraced each other with different minds, after all, they used to be so happy, making each other an indispensable part of each other's lives.

When everyone had breakfast together on the second day, Li Wei told his family about applying to study in the UK. The elder brother and sister-in-law expressed their support. Li Minghua ate silently. Liu Chunzhi frowned and said, "How old are you and still studying? what?"

Li Xiaoxiao said: "It's not that you will learn from the youngest by living to old."

"It's all read as an old girl, who will want you in the future."

Li Jianbo said in his heart that I want it.

"How much does it cost to go out to study?" Li Minghua is most concerned about costs.

Li Jianbo said: "They belong to the organization. Relatively speaking, they don't pay much by themselves, but they also need to prepare for their living expenses. One hundred thousand is almost the same."

"One hundred thousand a year?!" Everyone present was surprised.

Li Jianbo said: "I just said a number, but it should not be much different."

"I just bought the land at home and spent a lot of money. I can't spend so much." Liu Chunzhi said embarrassed.

Li Wei said: "I have worked so much money, although I use a lot, but there are tens of thousands of deposits, the shortfall is not too big."

"You take out all your old books and use it. It won't work if you don't have a deposit. Let's find a way to make it for you." Liu Chunzhi is not such an uncivilized person, and this society can't be wrong to read more books.

"It's okay, you can earn it back when you run out of money. If you have good hands, can you starve yourself to death?"

"I will pay the fee for studying abroad slightly." Li Jianbo said calmly.

"No, no... how embarrassed to take the second brother's money..." Li Wei didn't want to trouble the second brother anymore.

Li Jianbo smiled and said: "It's okay. If you feel uneasy, just treat it as if I loaned it to you. In the future, you will return it to me if you earn it. I will not give you interest."

Li Jianping echoed: "That's okay." After saying that, he secretly looked at the two people again. The atmosphere between them seemed to have improved. Something must have happened last night.

After everyone had breakfast, Li Jianbo received a phone call. He had to end his vacation early. Some regretful family members said goodbye.

Before leaving, he called Li Wei over, and repeatedly told me: "No matter if Qian is going to Chengdu or not, you don't have to worry about money. If you are free, come and sit with me often, let's practice speaking."

Being considerate and considerate as always made Li Wei unable to refuse.

"Second brother, take care!" Li Wei waved goodbye to him.

Li Jianbo drove back to the city. Li Wei walked back and saw her elder brother standing not far away to see him off, but he never came forward.

Li Wei walked over and asked him, "Big Brother, do I need any help next?"

Li Jianping looked at Li Wei with a smile and nodded and said, "Are you two reconciling?"

"That's it."

Li Jianping was even more happy and said: "Then I will find a chance to tell my parents and give them a surprise. This matter is settled, and I will save my mother from urging you all day."

When Li Wei heard what happened, he hurriedly said, "Brother, things are not what you think, so don't make trouble, okay?"

Li Jianping secretly asked, could it be that he was wrong. Seeing his sister was angry, he hurried to catch up.

"Good girl, what's the matter with you two, tell me."

Li Wei felt that there was nothing to say. She stayed at home for another day before returning to the city. Instead, I went to the previous language school and went to work during the day and trained at night. I had a very fulfilling life.
