Half an hour later, Li He said to the woman in front of him curtly: "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time! ”

"Li He, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to drive to pick me up." The other said, "Also, let's call me by my name, so that we both feel awkward." ”

"Okay, Chen Jiayan, hurry up and get in the car, I'll take you to the hotel first." Li He said with relief, "We will have dinner together at noon, and my father said that he would treat you well." ”

Chen Jiayan said: "Let's go, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Okay."

Li He subconsciously took the other party's luggage, turned around and walked to the front trunk.

Since he was a child, he has had an inexplicable fear of his aunt, who is a year younger than himself.

is not only because of the embarrassing generational problem, but also because the personalities of the two are completely opposite, and there is no intersection in interests and hobbies.

For example, he can't read classical literature, Chen Jiayan likes it very much.

When he opened the trunk, he suddenly heard his aunt's voice: "Li He, what kind of book is this?" ”

"Ahh ”

Chen Jiayan asked, "Can you lend me a look?" ”

Li He nodded hurriedly: "Of course, this book will be given to you!" ”

"No, since your good friend gave you a gift, you should cherish it." Chen Jiayan shook her head and said, "I'll borrow it and take a look, and I'll return it to you after reading it." ”

...

One hour later, Zhang Hao stepped off the high-speed train.

Shocked by the oncoming heat wave, he instantly discovered a major shortcoming of the business seat-

The business class in the first car behind the front of the train is the farthest away from the exit.

'Tsk, no wonder no one buys business class tickets. ’

After complaining in his heart, Zhang Hao walked out of the high-speed rail station with his bag on his back and took the reserved online taxi to the cemetery.

After paying respects at his parents' graves, he stayed at the Marriott Hotel by Yunlong Lake.

The waiter on the executive floor said warmly, "Sir, you are staying in our hotel's Executive Lake View Suite, and you are welcome to come to the lounge at any time to enjoy soft drinks and snacks." Our 'Happy Hour' starts at 5.30pm and ends at 7pm, and you are welcome to dine at that time. ”

Zhang Hao responded with a smile: "Thank you." ”

The so-called "Happy Hour" is a buffet dinner provided free of charge to guests on the Executive Floor.

Of course, it is said that it is free, and the cost is actually included in the room price.

However, Zhang Hao did not plan to wait in the room for dinner.

It's rare to come back, so naturally you have to have a barbecue first.

In his opinion, if barbecue can have a color, it must be the color of Pengcheng.

Two hours later, Zhang Hao, who had drunk his last glass of beer and finished his last skewer of mutton, wandered aimlessly through the streets.

Inadvertently, he suddenly found himself in front of an antique market.

In line with the principle that shopping everywhere is shopping, Zhang Hao stepped into the antique market.

On both sides of the road are antique shops with different doors.

It would be 8:30 p.m., most of the shops were closed, and only a few were still with their lights on.

Zhang Hao was about to walk into a store at random when his mobile phone rang again.

Zhang Hao picked up the phone and said, "Bai Zhou, is there something wrong?" ”

It was Bai Zhou who called him.

The other party invited on the phone: "Zhang Hao, are you free at noon tomorrow?" I'll treat you to dinner. ”

Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Not tomorrow, I'm not in Jinling now." ”

Bai Zhou asked with some disappointment, "Okay, then when will you come back?" ”

"I don't know..."

Zhang Hao was halfway through his words when he was suddenly attracted by a middle-aged man who was closing a shop around the corner.

Looking at the other party's side face and body shape, it is seven points similar to Boss Huang who I have seen in Jinling before.

Bai Zhouhu's suspicious voice came from the mobile phone: "Hey... Zhang Hao? Is it because I have a bad signal? ”

Zhang Hao said in a low voice: "No, I see a person now, who looks very much like Boss Huang who sells fake Song Huizong calligraphy." ”

"Won't it?" Bai Zhou said in surprise, "Is he a trickster in a different place?" ”

"I'm not sure, I can't see his face clearly." Zhang Hao looked at the back of the middle-aged man who left after closing the door and said, "I'll take a look again tomorrow during the day." ”

Bai Zhou hurriedly persuaded: "Don't, these people, maybe there are some means!" Be careful when you're out of town. ”

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Zhang Hao said, "Hang up first, and then talk about it when I go back to Jinling." ”

After jotting down the name of the shop and taking a photo, he turned and left the antique market.

...

In the suite of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Jinling, Chen Jiayan was sitting at her desk, engrossed in watching "Forty Adaptations After Dream of Red Mansions" taken from Li He's car.

The more she looked, the more fascinated she became.

Unlike Li He, who likes sports cars and nightclubs, Chen Jiayan has been interested in traditional literature since she was a child, and even loved the house and Wudi and was fascinated by antique calligraphy and painting.

She has read the book "Dream of Red Mansions" no less than ten times.

She has read countless book reviews written by fandom and red scientists.

But there has never been a book adaptation or a book review that resonates so strongly with her!

The last forty episodes of the adaptation by the author named "Takeda" actually gave her the illusion that she was superior to the original.

It's as if the follow-up story of Dream of Red Mansions should have developed as he wrote.

After reading the whole book in one go, Chen Jiayan let out an exclamation.

She suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to have eaten dinner yet.

After making a call to order food in the guest room, she called Li He again.

A moment later, Zhang Hao's phone rang again.

After he picked up the phone, he said directly: "Li He, I won't be in Jinling, let's drink together next time." ”

Li He said very painfully: "No, Brother Hao, can I only look for you just to drink?" ”

Zhang Hao joked: "I'm thinking, you can't find me to race at night, right?" Besides, you're not as good as me. ”

"Stop, stop!" Li He said repeatedly, "Brother Hao, this is the case! I was deeply inspired after reading "Dream of Red Mansions" that you gave me, and I also had a great curiosity about you, a friend who signed Taketian, can you introduce me to it? ”

Zhang Hao: "??? ”

Although it was night, he subconsciously looked up at the starry sky.

After confirming that the sun did not come out of the west, he asked curiously, "Li He, it's not that Brother Hao doesn't believe you, you really finished reading this book?" ”

Li He said loudly: "Then can there be a fake? ”

"Okay, then let me ask you, what is the forty-first chapter talking about?"

"Uh... I forgot the specifics, but it was wonderful anyway. ”

"you, this book only has forty chapters in total!"

"Uh..."Li He said very embarrassedly, "Brother Hao, give me another chance!" ”
