Chapter 383: A Fall
How can a mere mortal escape God’s plan?
What about Sun Dasheng who caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace?
Didn’t he escape from Tathagata Buddha’s Wuzhi Mountain?
So... Ning Weimin was still soaked by the rain.
And to be honest, this kid was overestimating his ability to race against the pouring rain. He might as well not run.
Don’t forget what the streets of Beijing are like these days.
The lights are dim, the ground is uneven, and many small alleys are still yellow soil.
Coupled with the strong rain and strong wind, I was anxious...
No, if I wasn't careful, Ning Weimin staggered and fell onto the curb.
The four paws in his suit and leather shoes were raised upwards. This was called a sudden appearance, and his ankles were sprained.
So even if you run back from Dongdan to Chongwenmen Hotel, it is less than one kilometer.
Ning Weimin has completed a huge change in his image.
When he got off the bus, he was still a handsome white-collar worker from a foreign company.
But when he entered the lobby of Chongwenmen Hotel, he had turned into a lame drowned rat.
Even climbing the three floors to get back to my room was difficult.
At this time, there were only three things that made him deeply relieved.
First, it was already past nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock, and it was windy and rainy again.
Not to mention that there were not many people on the streets of Beijing, there were also no guests in the lobby of Chongwenmen Hotel.
Except for the two acquaintances at the front desk who worked the night shift, no one else saw him with such unfortunate behavior, so he was not too embarrassed.
Secondly, we are finally here, and this unlucky night is finally over.
He can take a relaxing hot bath in the bathtub, then drink a glass of whiskey, and lie down in bed comfortably to sleep.
In American terms, tomorrow will be a new beginning and everything will be fine.
Thirdly, he accidentally learned the news that "Thatcher fell down" from tonight's party.
Everyone at the gathering was saying that today the representatives of the Republic and the British side launched specific consultations on the issue of the return of Hong Kong City.
The confrontation between the "Iron Lady" and the "Great Man" was not only a complete defeat.
I was even shocked by the words of the "great man": "We are poor, but we are not afraid of death when fighting."
As a result, when walking down the steps of the Great Hall of the People, the worried current British Prime Minister tripped on his high heels and fell down in front of the whole world.
Although the staff on the left and right reacted very quickly and quickly helped Thatcher up.
What does it mean?
It means that today is a "nothing to do".
Come on, he is a small comprador of a foreign company. No matter his status or the degree of embarrassment, he can't compare with this famous figure in British politics who came on an aircraft carrier and is known for his iron fist.
Then what else can he complain about?
If you fall, just fall.
Well, isn’t that what people are like?
No matter how miserable things happen to you, it won't be so uncomfortable as long as you know that there is someone stronger than you who has suffered worse than you.
It must be said that Ning Weimin did understand the essence of Ah Q’s spirit.
Unfortunately, he still imagined his situation too optimistically.
This difficult night will not go away so easily.
In fact, when he finally climbed the stairs and returned to his room, he was putting the bath water in.
When he had just taken out the clothes he wanted to change and was wiping his head with a towel.
It was as if he had seen a ghost. Suddenly, the phone in his room rang again.
When he picked up the phone, it turned out to be a call from the front desk in the lobby downstairs. The waiter told him that there was a girl he was looking for.
What was even more bizarre was that when he asked to hand over the front desk phone to the person who was looking for him, a funny crying sound came from the receiver. "Ning...Brother Ning...it's me..."
"Hey, a little song?"
Ning Weimin really never expected, "You're looking for me? It's almost ten o'clock?"
"Yes... I know it's a bit late. , I'm sorry...I...something happened at home..."
"Something happened at home? Why is it so urgent?"
"Brother Ning...can you come down here? Trip? ”
"This... can't you say it on the phone?"
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, you... don't be angry... I know I've caused you trouble. But I... really don't know where to go. Who..."
Faint! Listening to Qu Xiao's repeated apology on the phone, unable to conceal his grievance, Ning Weimin knew that Qu Xiao had misunderstood.
Of course this simple girl would not know that he had just come back from outside and was now cold, wet, and his feet were sprained.
I’m afraid he thinks he thinks she’s troublesome and doesn’t want to see her.
"Ah! No, no, don't misunderstand me. Xiaoqu, what image do I have in your mind? Don't worry, wait for me..."
Hang up the phone, even with your wet shirt and pants Didn't take it off either.
Ning Weimin was wearing slippers, limping hard, walked out of the room and went downstairs.
No idea, he wanted Qu Xiao to go upstairs, but things are different these days.
Not to mention that the hotel has strict rules. After 9:30 p.m., hotel guests are not allowed to see outsiders.
Even if it was so late, having a big girl upstairs would cause rumors.
It doesn’t matter to him, but Qu Xiao must not be able to bear it.
The only option is to reluctantly go down there by yourself.
At the same time, he also had an inexplicable bad feeling in his heart, thinking that Qu Xiao must be in big trouble.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to him at this point.
He was afraid that this girl would become cowardly again with her random thoughts, so she wouldn't scare him away by herself.
Of course, we have to seize the moment as much as possible, and we can’t suffer these two sins in vain.
As expected, I finally turned downstairs with a grin on my face, holding on to the stairs as if I was half disabled.
As soon as Ning Weimin arrived at the lobby, he was startled by Qu Xiao, who was guarding the door and standing waiting for him.
The little girl looks so miserable.
Her hair was disheveled, her whole body was soaked, water was dripping from her dress, and she was sobbing with her arms trembling.
Not only was his face pale, his eyes were as red as peaches, and his expression of despair was even more heartbreaking.
"Ouch, what's going on! Xiaoqu, why didn't you hold an umbrella? What happened!"
Seeing Ning Weimin, Qu Xiao finally found her Rely on.
When he opened his mouth, no words came out, but his sobbing suddenly turned into crying.
From not daring to lower his voice in a short voice, to completely venting all the melancholy and anguish through tears.
This scene makes people cry so hard that it hurts.
Not to mention the two waiters in the front hall were dumbfounded.
Ning Weimin suddenly felt that his head had grown five times in size.
"No, no, if you have something that is off your mind, tell me! Don't scare me!"
Qu Xiao still didn't answer at all.
Ning Weimin finally made up his mind and said to Qu Xiao.
"Come on, follow me upstairs. Wipe your hair first, let's talk slowly, don't catch a cold..."
