The hotel where Lin Xu stayed was called the Grand Hyatt Hotel. After checking in, he put his things away, then took out a map of the capital from his travel backpack that he had bought at the airport shop with his umbrella and unfolded it.

To get to know a new and unfamiliar city, a map is a must. Because even a small prefecture-level city like Binh Duong, which has only one district, cannot visit all the places in the city in just a few days, let alone a first-tier city like the capital, which has more than a dozen districts under its jurisdiction. I am afraid that even those who have lived in the capital for a few years may not be able to understand the city clearly, and what they are familiar with is the scope of daily activities.

Even if the map is not detailed enough and cannot be updated in time due to road construction and other reasons, it will still have a great reference for understanding the city. Since Lin Xu needs to stay in the capital for a few days, he also needs to be familiar with the city he is in, even if he can't understand everything, he must be roughly clear, and he can't all be blacked out, and he doesn't know anywhere.

After unfolding the map, he first found Tiananmen Square, which is located in the center of the city, and then found the location of the Grand Hyatt Hotel near Tiananmen Square, and circled it with a pen.

Tiananmen Square is the absolute center of the capital, located at the junction of the two urban districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng. However, in terms of administrative division, it belongs to Dongcheng District. The Grand Hyatt Hotel where Lin Xu currently lives is located in Xicheng District.

Tiananmen Square is at the junction of two urban districts, and after seeing Tiananmen Square, he walked and looked for a place to eat, but he walked to Xicheng District. Then I called Wei Qingyi and looked for a hotel to stay, but they were all still in Xicheng District.

But this is also just right for him, because Wei Qingyi's family is also in Xicheng District, and even the Affiliated High School of Beijing Normal University, where Wei Qingyi studied, is also located in Xicheng District. Even the National Peking Opera Company, where Wei Qingyi's parents work, is also in Xicheng District. And he is now in Xicheng District, and psychologically he feels closer to Wei Qingyi.

In addition, as the alma mater of the affiliated middle school where Wei Qingyi studied, Huang Rong and Guo Jing are currently attending Beijing Normal University, which is also located in Xicheng District. And the two schools are very close to each other, after all, it is the relationship between the subject and the affiliation. However, of course, Huang Rong and Guo Jing have not come yet, and there are still ten days to leave school, so they don't need to rush to come. Even if you leave a few days early, you don't have to be so far in advance. When Lin Xu left Wuxiang Middle School yesterday, the two of them were still there, and they met and said hello together at breakfast.

The specific address of Wei Qingyi's house, Lin Xu didn't know where it was, only that it was in Xicheng District. When the two used to correspond, he wrote letters to Wei Qingyi, and they were all sent to Wei Qingyi School. So he was very clear about the specific address of Wei Qingyi's school, and now he found Wei Qingyi's school on the map and circled it with a pen.

Beijing Normal University, referred to as Beijing Normal University. After enclosing the Middle School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University, Lin Xu also encircled the location of Beijing Normal University not far from him by the way. Then I found the National Peking Opera Company, and I was also trapped.

After demarcating these related places, Lin Xu then began to find some familiar place names in the capital that he had heard of before, such as the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, Houhai, the Great Wall, etc. Since you have come to the capital and plan to stay for a few more days, you can visit these famous tourist attractions that you have heard of before. Of course, it would be better if Wei Qingyi had convenient time and could be a guide for him, and the two of them would go shopping together.

After finding and circling these attractions that he had heard of before on the map, Lin Xu looked at the map for a while, and then put them aside for the time being. Then, he picked up his own and continued to look at it, which was both his preference and a good use to pass the time.

After watching it for a while, I became obsessed with it again and forgot the time. After an unknown amount of time, the pager on the bedside table suddenly sounded, and he woke up from it.

Temporarily put down the one in his hand, picked up the pager and looked at it, he immediately smiled on his face, because the information on the pager was called by Wei Qingyi, saying that it was just time to see him now, ask him where he is now, and call her back to contact clearly.

Seeing that it was Wei Qingyi's call message, Lin Xu was naturally happy, and immediately picked up the phone on the bedside table and dialed it according to the phone number attached to the call message.

After the dialing was completed, Lin Xu looked at the time displayed on the pager by the way, but saw that it was already more than six o'clock in the evening. Although it is now autumn, the weather has not completely departed from the heat of midsummer, and the change of day and night is still the length of the day and the short of the night, and it has not been converted. So it's not dark at six o'clock now, but it's already autumn, and it's past the summer solstice, which has the longest daylight time, so the change of day and night has begun to change. It's now more than six o'clock, and it's dusk, unlike at the beginning of August, when it's still bright at six o'clock, and the sun hasn't set yet.

"Hey, Lin Xu?" The phone dialed, only rang once, and Wei Qingyi's voice quickly answered over there.

"Well, it's me. Lin Xu answered, and asked, "Where are we meeting?"

"Where are you now?" Wei Qingyi didn't answer, but asked first.

"I'm in a hotel now, called the Grand Hyatt Hotel, also in Xicheng District. However, it is still not far from Tiananmen Square, and it should be less than a kilometer apart. Lin Xu replied, after a pause, he continued: "Why don't we meet here?" By the way, have you had dinner, didn't I invite you to dinner, and I will make up for the meal in Bincheng by the way. ”

Wei Qingyi smiled when he heard this, and deliberately said angrily: "What are you talking about, we have only known each other for a few days, and you want to take me to the hotel?"

Lin Xu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that this hotel also happens to have a restaurant, so I'll invite you to dinner by the way." ”

Wei Qingyi said: "There is no place to eat, there are many on the street." The restaurants in the hotel are not cheap. ”

Lin Xu said: "Then you can choose, I don't know it anyway." ”

Wei Qingyi thought for a while and said, "In this way, let's meet first, and then talk about other things after we meet." Since you are not familiar with the capital, then I will not make an appointment with another place, so I should go and look for you, lest I tell you the place and you will not find it. You tell me the specific address of your hotel, and I'll go look for you. ”

Lin Xu said: "If you want to make an appointment with other places, you don't have to accommodate me." I'm not familiar with it, but the taxi driver is always familiar with it, so I stopped the car and passed. ”

Wei Qingyi said: "Don't say goodbye, I'll just go find you." Taxis are also quite expensive, and if you meet that kind of uneasy and kind-hearted person, seeing that you are a foreigner, they may deliberately take a long detour to kill you. When the time comes, you won't know if you're being pulled around in circles, and you'll not suffer in vain. ”

Lin Xu smiled: "How can I be as inferior as you say, don't forget that I am good at martial arts, and I will not be bullied." ”

Wei Qingyi thought about it with a smile and said, "Forget it, I'll go find you!"

Lin Xu saw that she insisted, so he didn't say anything more, and told her the specific address of the hotel.

Wei Qingyi wrote it down and said, "Okay, I know." I should be there in more than twenty minutes, and you see that the waiting time is about the same, so you come out and wait for me at the door. ”

Lin Xu said: "I'll go out and wait for you after the call." ”

Wei Qingyi said: "You don't have to be so early, you come out now, and you are also standing." ”

Lin Xu said: "It's okay, I'm willing to wait for you." ”

Wei Qingyi smiled: "Then it's up to you." After a pause, he continued: "Then so be it, I'll hang up first." If you can't find a place, I'll contact you. ”

"Good. Lin Xu said: "Then we'll see you later." ”

"Well, goodbye!" Wei Qingyi said, hanging up the phone first.

Lin Xu then put down the phone, then took the pager, wallet, room card and other personal belongings, and went out, ready to wait for Wei Qingyi at the door of the hotel.

Walking to the hotel lobby, he saw an advertisement for the hotel's restaurant in the lobby. After taking a look at it by the way, he couldn't help but move, and turned around to the hotel front desk instead. [.]
