Beat Generation

It was very quiet in the car.

Wu Ershan tilted his head like this, looking at Wen Xi who was slowly dozing off like a chicken pecking at rice.

Sleepy bugs flapping their wings one after another were circling around Wen Xi, who was wearing a red off-the-shoulder evening dress. Wu couldn't help but yawned three times while watching. Until getting in the car, she seemed sleepy all the way, Wu slapped the sleepy bugs who started to gather around her, she took out a big pillow, put it next to Wen Xi, and gently pressed her there On the pillow.

Wen Xi fell asleep on his side like this, and Wu Ershan could even hear a little snoring.

She curled the corners of her mouth, it's like when a tiger is dozing off. In the past five years, when has Wen Xi completely let down her vigilance like now? To Wen Xi...

She really looks like a Sleeping Beauty, Wu thought unconsciously.

"Slow down, we're not the protagonists today. Don't go so early, it's not good to steal the limelight from the beauties." Wu whispered to the driver, who also yawned, and pointed to the busy traffic ahead.

According to the old rules, before a large party, the three roads of the palace are usually blocked.

Today, of course, is no exception.

They can't think too fast, but if they think slowly, they can naturally slow down step by step.

----------------

It was eerily quiet in the car.

From thin houses to urban areas, from silent mountain roads to bustling neon roads.

Zhan Banbi has been bowing her head to deal with official affairs, she signed each one, and some of them need to be stamped, so she handed them over to Bo Mei, and let Bo Mei cover them.

Bo Mei has been used to knocking stamps in her father's arms since she was a child. She fiddled with the document twice and stamped the seam stamps without looking at them. The parts of the stamps were also stamped accurately. The chapters fit seamlessly.

Zhan smiled subconsciously when she lowered her head. Originally, she didn't handle things so neatly in the car. Some things had to be thought through thoroughly before using them. With Bo Mei tonight, all the harsh things seemed to be smoothed out. , she felt that the person who submitted these documents was very lucky today.

After typing the last two documents, Bo Mei put Zhan's seal back into the box and gave up typing.

"Aren't you happy again?"

"Hands hurt from knocking." Bo Mei moved her wrist twice, and Zhan pinched her hand halfway. Before Bo Mei was about to pull her hand, Zhan had already taken off her glasses, leaned on the seat, closed her eyes and helped her rub her wrist.

"These days, you've been patronizing me to get angry with me. You don't eat well, and you don't sleep well. Look at your little wrists. I knead them, and they are all muscles and bones."

"I have done so many important national affairs for you, and I still need to listen to you. Now, do you know why I am not happy?" Bo Mei was about to wave his hands again, and Zhan squinted at her, "Thank you for your hard work." Little comrade, I'll rub it for you, don't move around, something will happen."

"What happened?"

Before Bo Mei could speak firmly, she fell forward hard. Zhan hugged her, pulled her around, and Bo Mei sat in her arms. Zhan said: "There is a hole here. One is not big. Not a small pit. Are you scared?"

"...Why didn't you say it earlier." Bo Mei quickly got off her body, and the two separated immediately.

Zhan smiled and said nothing.

Bo Mei also stopped talking.

After driving for a while, the car stopped, and Bo Mei glanced out the window. The front, rear, left, and right sides were soon filled with cars in all directions, and many women in the cars could be vaguely seen wearing evening dresses.

"Is there a lot of people tonight?"

"There are some, most of which you know." Zhan still closed his eyes, "My father may also let me see a few people tonight."

"?" Bo Mei looked at Zhan, "Who are you looking at?"

"You know, I'm not married yet." Zhan opened his eyes and looked at Bo Mei with a smile like this. "Tell me, Bo Mei, who should I marry."

"How would I know."

"You know. Only you know in the whole world." Zhan said firmly.

Some inexplicable emotions came to my heart, and Bo Mei was speechless for a while.

Zhan gently held Bo Mei's hand, "I remember what we said before, what we said on the sandbar. I think you remember too."

Bo Mei still withdrew her hand, she tilted her head to look at the increasingly familiar street scene outside the car window, she will soon arrive at the palace, soon...you will see...

Blocked for a while.

The car finally drove to the avenue shaded by ancient trees in the palace.

"What are you looking at?" Jen asked.

Bo Mei pursed her lips, "Banbi, I... when Er Shan and I got married... you were at the wedding... what were you thinking?"

Zhan was somewhat taken aback by the bang of the conversation. She frowned, "Bo Mei, what I was thinking at that time was exactly the same as what I am thinking now. You know what I was thinking."

"I do not know."

"No, you know."

"..." Bo Mei stared at Zhan Banbi, "Don't look at me like that. I'm no longer a child. I know what I'm doing."

"No, you are a child, a child who has been away from home for five years, and a child who has just returned home and is at a loss."

"Banbi, I hate that you interfere with me and educate me like my father."

"Haha." Zhan Banbi let out a low laugh, and Bo Mei frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

"Your father never interferes with you, nor restrains you. You have a father who loves you very, very much. I have never seen him ask for anything from you." Zhan Banbi reached out to touch Bo Mei's chin but Being rejected by Bo Mei, she laughed again.

"What are you laughing at, what are you laughing at?"

"Bo Mei, you're back home. You have a lot of toys at home, and the toys outside are no better than those at home. The toys outside can't match you. Huh?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't hear anything." Bo Mei shook her head.

"Then, I'll pretend that I didn't say anything. Tonight, you can do whatever you want." Zhan Banbi closed his eyes again, and Bo Mei looked out the window at the big tree that blocked the sky, and for a while Up in panic.

Everything is too hasty.

Bo Mei didn't prepare anything before she came, and she felt the urgency and panic in her heart at this moment.

What should be the first sentence when seeing Wen Xi, and how should I say the first sentence.

Will you see her?Oh, so what if she doesn't pay attention to herself.

After falling into the mud for a short time, Bo Mei fell into a strange calm again. She had never been so worried about meeting Wen Xi. In the past five years, they met many times at inopportune times.

How embarrassing, how embarrassing, everyone has experienced it before.

What an embarrassment, what a staggering situation, both of them have fought against each other.

What's more scary.

After turning her intestines a thousand times, Bo Mei took a deep breath, and she suddenly understood that this was the first time she met Wen Xi.

For the first time, she met Wen Xi in the real Bo Mei's current appearance. She didn't want to use the appearance of Zhuang Mei or anyone else to meet Wen Xi's eyes, and she didn't want to use the past Bo Mei's state. Come to talk to Wen Xi, what she wants is...Wen Xi can see her now, the whole of her.

Can Wen Xi see her through this completely unfamiliar skin?

Maybe, or maybe, like everyone else, I don't know her anymore.

--------------

Wu Ershan's car arrived at the main gate of the palace first.

Wen Xi fell asleep, and Wu didn't want to wake her up.

She just waited, waiting for Sleeping Beauty to wake up by herself.

Zhan Banbi's car went through the special passage at the back door of the palace, and the car jumped in. The vibration of the car made Zhan Banbi and Bo Mei exchange glances.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Bo Mei asked.

"It's okay." Zhan Banbi frowned, and after the car stopped, Zhan said, "I'll take you to see General Chen Ruoxi and Chen Jin first. There will be some reporters, and my two younger brothers are also here. We may have a group photo."

"kindness."

"When will Bo Hui return to China to dispose of your family's assets?"

"I do not know."

"You can ask me another day. I will get people ready in advance to make the procedures go through faster."

Bo Mei nodded uncompromisingly.

After they got off the car, they met two reporters. After two or three clicks, Zhan Banbi and Bo Mei walked into the elevator side by side.

"Are there reporters everywhere tonight?" Bo Mei asked.

"Before the dinner officially starts, these reporters can walk around at will, and after the dinner starts, they will not enter the venue."

After going up to the Drum Tower, Zhan Banbi led the way. After walking through two rooms, Bo Mei saw General Chen Ruoxi and Chen Jin in the VIP room.

"Father. Brother."

Chen Jin hugged Bo Mei, and asked softly in her ear, "Did they put you under house arrest. Bo Hui was so worried."

"It's okay." Bo Mei also hugged Chen Jin tightly, and there was a click sound from the affectionate appearance of the two brothers and sisters. Chen Jin pretended to caress Bo Mei's ear, and stuffed a tiny earphone into her ear, "Bo Hui When I see you, I will talk to you."

"..." Bo Mei curled her lips, stood between General Chen and Chen Jin, and took a photo with Zhan Banshan, Zhan Banhong, and the children of other politicians. Bo Mei took a closer look. In the group photo that included the important protagonists tonight, unexpectedly There is no Zhan half wall.

In the blink of an eye, Zhan Banbi seemed to have disappeared.

Where did she... go?

………………

Just when Wu Ershan was about to fall asleep, someone knocked on the car door twice.

Wu Chaowai took a look and saw Zhan Banbi standing outside.

Wu got out of the car, and Zhan took a look inside the car.

"She probably won't come." Zhan said unexpectedly.

"Take care of pregnant women. Let her come and play. It's boring to stay at home all day." Wu yawned, and Zhan lowered his voice again and said, "What are you playing again?"

Wu smiled and said, "Aren't you curious?"

"Curious what?"

"Neither you nor I recognized it. Don't you wonder if she recognizes her?"

"So what if you recognize it, so what if you don't recognize it?"

"It's not that good, it's just a game, we've all played it, Xiao Huanxi naturally wants to play it."

Zhan frowned slightly, "Ershan, aren't you afraid to play with yourself?"

"In games, I only lost to Bo Mae."

"...You can go in now." Zhan didn't want to say anything more, "Take care of her more at the banquet."

"Ah."

"I'll go in first." Zhan took two steps, then turned his head and said, "Want to bet?"

"Gambling." Wu Er waggled five fingers, "Will you bet on this number?"

Zhan shook her head, her eyes fell on the wedding ring on Wu's hand, and said, "Bet on your ring."

"...Okay." Wu raised his eyebrows, "What about you?"

"I can give you special approval for a document."

"One?" Wu shook her head, she took off the ring, "Three."

"It cannot exceed [-] million."

Wu made up his mind, and said in a condescending tone, "Those two."

"make a deal."

"make a deal."

The two shook hands, and Zhan took away the wedding rings of Wu Ershan and Bo Mei.

The last batch of arriving guests have entered the venue one by one.

Wu Ershan had already finished smoking a cigarette while standing outside the car. The two ladies at the door looked at her. She also looked at the ladies in ancient costumes and looked down at her watch. Wu couldn't wait any longer, so she had to open the car door and wake up gently. Wen Xi.

Wen Xi woke up like a dream, she squinted at Wu, yawned heavily, and said boredly, "Are you there?"

"Well. Just arrived. You can get out of the car."

Wu in a black suit stood outside the car, with one hand behind his back and the other reaching out to Wen Xi.

Ask Wen Xi to hold her hand and get out of the car slowly.

I didn't intend to let her wear high heels at first, but Wen Xi didn't like the dress, so she insisted on wearing high heels. Wu took a step to look at each step, for fear that the palace road made of old stones would be too slippery, and Wen Xi and the baby in her stomach would fall .

The ladies who have been guarding outside the main entrance can be regarded as waiting for the last two guests.

"Hello Miss Ershan, Miss Wen, this way please."

The two ladies were about to come to help Wenxi, Wu quickly waved his hands and said: "You two have worked hard too, I can help you in by myself, you can close the door."

It was indeed the closing point. When Wen Xi and Wu Ershan walked towards the main banquet hall, the reporters had already finished their interviews and were preparing to leave one by one. They met the reporters on the flower gallery, and they had to take pictures for nostalgia.

The reporters joked that King Wu Xiaoxiang and Wen Xi's clothes matched each other very well today. Wu couldn't laugh or cry, but Wen Xi nodded in agreement.

After a meaningless exchange of greetings,

In this way, Wu led Wen Xi into the main banquet hall.

The dinner party has already begun.

Wen Xi had no intention of toasting and drinking, she had just woken up and was not in a good mood.

"Ershan, where should I sit?"

"What, you don't want to socialize with me. You just have to sit down when you come in." Wu said with wide eyes. She didn't know so many people came when she was outside, and many of them were her ex-girlfriends. , and some of them searched for death after she got married. This is really a group of troublesome girls. She has to swim to the end tonight to avoid drowning on the spot.

"What's the point of socializing when I have a big belly? I can't drink, and I'm not used to northern dim sum." Wen Xi took a glass of juice from the waiter's tray, "Go, go, take me back as long as you go." I'm still sleepy."

Wu Bianbian said, "Please do me a favor and give me courage. I have too many debts and I can't even pay them off. You are not afraid that someone will think that I am not repaying the debts. It will not look good to me face to face."

"Go! Go! Go."

Wen Xi repeatedly waved her hands to let Wu go by herself, but Wu couldn't do anything to her. Compared with the pregnant Wen Xi, Wu Zai, who was newly married on the surface, was just a fringe tonight. She just wanted to shrink aside like Wen Xi, but was beaten A group of ex-girlfriends who are still in love with her are dragged over.

Wen Xi was holding a small bag, the place was full of northerners, and there were very few southerners.

She managed to find an empty sofa, and as soon as the ass sat down, the northerners in the front, back, left, and left abruptly retreated. At first glance, it seemed that they thoughtfully made room for her, a pregnant woman, but when she thought about it, it was more like making her a southerner. People hang out here.

Tonight's theme was clear. At the second meeting, the north made enough fools. It probably hated the southerners, especially Wen Xi. Few people came to say hello to Wen Xi.

Wen Xi leaned there, beckoned the waiter to come over, and ordered a few edible dinners to warm her stomach.

Wen Xi, who was sitting alone in a corner, looked relaxed and lazy. The waiter specially brought some magazines for her to read. After flipping through them, she felt sleepy again. If she really fell asleep on this occasion, it will definitely become a scandal in the public tomorrow, and she also knew that it is difficult for pregnant women to control themselves, so she ordered in the waiter's ear: "You surround the sofa together, and put a few more pots of tall pruning bamboo , cover it up if you can. What about the brats? Find a few brats and run around, and don’t let that aunt fall asleep.”

However, all corners of the banquet hall can be seen at a glance, and Wen Xi's place can't be covered even more, because things are easy to cover up, but the beauty of beauties cannot be covered up.

The waiter tried hard, but finally had to lead the children to that end.

The adults don't come to say hello, but the children have no scruples.

Two brave little boys walked over and asked, "Sister, why don't you go on a blind date? My sister has gone."

Wen Xi rested her chin, rolled her eyes, pointed to her stomach, and said nothing.

"Sister, can we sit and play here?"

Wen Xi raised her head and took a look at the venue. The adults were crowded together, and the children really had nowhere to play. She nodded and said, "Okay. Don't make noise. Get lost if you make noise. Understand?"

"Ah."

A wave of children walked around Wen Xi in such a disorderly manner, but Wen Xi remained motionless until the banquet was over, thinking that she could leave after sitting for half an hour.

Just as he was fiddling with the bright red lace gloves on his hands boredly, he looked up and saw a woman in a black evening dress approaching. This woman had eyes bluer than the sea and a head of pure gold hair.

She walked over step by step like this, Wen Xi thought to herself, who is this woman looking at?

"Can I sit here?"

"..." Wen Xi looked around, the children were very excited playing with the four-wheel drive, and there was no place here. "If you can find a place to sit, of course . . . of course."

"Thank you."

Wen Xi didn't expect that she would just sit among the children like this, and the children all backed away with their buttocks arched.

She sat among these children and looked at her, as if to say something.

"I see you sitting here by yourself."

"No. There are many more here..." Wen Xi smiled and pointed to those children, "...you are alone too? I don't think I've seen you before."

"..." The woman looked at Wen Xi from head to toe, which made Wen Xi tremble, as if this woman had been staring at her for a long time. "I haven't met you either. Tonight is the first time we've seen each other."

"Hello, stranger." Wen Xi took a sip of juice with a smile, "Your dress is beautiful.

"Hello, stranger. . . . You are beautiful tonight."
