The London Eye is located on the River Thames and is said to be a landmark building built to welcome the millennium. It is 135 meters high and can overlook the entire city of London.
Li Jianbo has already bought the tickets, they have to wait in line to enter.
"From queuing to taking a seat, I am afraid it will take more than an hour to come out. What should Auntie do?" Li Wei asked Jianbo back.
"She went to a nearby cafe to wait for us, don't worry."
They had been in line for forty minutes, and finally it was their turn. The door of the box opened, and Li Jianbo asked Li Wei to go up first.
"Have you been here before?"
"Sit down, I came with Qiu Ci. That time I came to catch up with the weekend, and it took almost two hours for my turn."
The cabin slowly rose, and the city was gradually under their feet.
"Second brother, how about the return ticket?"
"It's booked, do you have anything to take me back?"
"Well, I simply cleaned up, and will come and deliver it tomorrow morning."
Looking out from the viewing window, you can have a panoramic view of the outside scenery.
"I thought that a year would be very long, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. It's already September. Your studies will be over before Christmas, right?"
Li Weidao: "Almost, the school here will take a period of time off from Christmas to New Year. It is said that it is coming out for further studies, but I always feel that the year passes too fast, and it is over before I learn anything."
"What you can learn in one year is just to make your resume look better. I hope that the TV station can make a good arrangement for you after you go back this year when you stayed outside, otherwise the year will be wasted. If you can't do what you want, you might as well just quit your job."
"Resign?!" Li Wei said in surprise.
"Yes, it's meaningless to stay in some boring positions for a lifetime. You can do other things. If you are worried about the money, I can support you."
Obviously Li Jianbo was very serious when he said this, but Li Wei didn't dare to agree, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "No way, after reading so many years of books, how can you support me."
"I'm willing. You have no other way out and I can arrange for you." Li Jianbo said as he caught Li Wei's hand.
Li Wei looked a little flustered, and sat hurriedly.
"Second brother, don't be like this."
"Do you know what my mother said to me?"
Where Li Wei could guess, she shook her head. Li Jianbo went on to say: "She wants to develop a career in the UK, but she lacks a helper. She wants me to put aside the career at hand to assist her, and then let me immigrate to the UK, and said that she can also help you with immigration procedures. Time to spend some money to buy a castle for us in Scotland."
Li Wei was very surprised: "Do you agree?"
"What do you think?"
Li Wei stared at her second brother. Over the years, her second brother had instilled a lot of thoughts into her, but they came up with two words, ideal and persistence.
The second brother is different. He is a person who lives for the first time. He sees naturally longer than others. What is in his mind, Li Wei feels unpredictable at this moment. After a long silence, he cautiously asked: "You didn't agree. ."
"Well. If I agree, she wouldn't even want to talk to me like she is now. But if you want, I can think about it."
"No, this is the second brother's life, I can't make the decision for you."
"She told me that I can only choose the same for the son-in-law of the Li family and the son of the Li family." Li Jianbo stared at Li Wei blankly.
In this small enclosed cabin, Li Wei had nowhere to escape. She turned her face to look at the scenery outside, and the electronic commentator inside was introducing them to the landmark buildings she saw in fluent English.
"Second brother, I used to be very confused. I don't know why I'm alive. You led me up the road step by step. I don't dare to imagine how difficult it would be without you. To me, you are the beacon that lights up on the sea, illuminating the direction I am going forward. You are the most respected person in my life and will always be."
Li Jianbo smiled, smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Li Wei’s hair, but suddenly the phrase "I’m not a kid anymore" came into his mind, and his movements became much gentler. Gently touched her forehead, touched it, he suddenly leaned in and pressed a kiss on her smooth forehead.
Eleven years ago, on the eve of his decision to go to the United States, he did the same thing. I can't remember how I felt back then.
Li Wei's face flushed, she turned her face away again and dared not look at him again. Ascended to an altitude of 135 meters and gradually descended. She didn't want to ask him for the answer, and he stopped talking to her any more. Her previous life was a poor worm, and her whole life was just a pawn. She has never tasted the taste of love, even during the time she was with Jiang Yunfeng, she did not know what it was like to like someone. In the enclosed cabin, she couldn't push him away from her side, and she couldn't escape. She sat there blankly, with a trace of embarrassment in her heart.
Finally landed safely. The moment the hatch opened, Li Wei was anxious to step out, Li Jianbo walked behind and held her hand.
When the two of them both appeared in front of Qi Jingzhen, Li Wei's gaze was dodged, and the appearance of hesitating to say something made her feel confused. Sure enough, what happened between them while riding the Ferris wheel?
During the meal, Qi Jingzhen and Li Wei mentioned the old castle. Li Wei was holding a sip of soup in his mouth, and almost choked her coughing when he almost didn't spray it out.
Li Jianbo gently patted her on the back, and said, "Slow down, don't get excited."
After the meal, Qi Jing really wants to go back to the hotel, and Li Wei wants to go back to the rented place. Li Jianbo said he was going to send Li Wei, and Qi Jingzhen agreed.
Li Jianbo and Li Wei got in a taxi together.
"In a while, you give me the things you want me to bring back, so you don't need to run back and forth tomorrow."
Li Wei nodded and agreed.
The car stopped outside the courtyard wall. Li Wei got out of the car and walked along the boulevard outside the courtyard wall.
It took more than ten minutes before she brought up a woven bag with gifts she bought for her family. Li Wei put the bag on the back seat of the car and waved goodbye to his brother.
The car moved slowly, Li Wei stood under the bare tree and did not move. The car drove forward for a certain distance, then stopped and Li Jianbo opened the door. He looked at Li Wei under the shadow of the tree, and she looked so lonely with a few dim lights on her body.
He walked towards Li Wei, and ran towards her as he walked. Seeing him walk towards him, this time Li Wei took the initiative to open his arms.
