Chapter 823: Arriving at the Capital
The broadcast sounded. Jian Yichen sighed reluctantly and looked at Jian Ai helplessly.
Seeing this, Jian Ai couldn’t help but say, “Put it away first. Play again when we reach the hotel.”
Jian Yichen could only nod.
The plane taxied and stopped steadily at The Capital International Airport.
The passengers in business class got off the plane first. As soon as they left the cabin, Jian Ai didn’t know if she was hallucinating or if her heart was playing tricks on her. She only felt that the wind that blew at her face and the air she breathed in had a strange and familiar smell that she had not felt for a long time.
On the airport bus, Jian Ai sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside.
Although it was completely different from what she remembered, Jian Ai had deep feelings for the capital.
After her mother and brother passed away, she no longer had any lingering feelings for Baiyun City. She placed all her new hopes on this capital of China, which was even more prosperous than Baiyun City. She worked hard there. Back then, for the development of the company, she traveled to eight districts in the capital. Every inch of land there had the sweat of her youth.
Strangely, Jian Ai thought that stepping onto this land again would arouse her turbulent emotions.
However, that was not the case.
Other than that wisp of melancholy and absent-mindedness, she didn’t seem to have any other passion. The bits and pieces of her previous life seemed to have lost their sense of belonging, causing Jian Ai to be lost in the intertwining space and time of her previous life.
Sometimes she was immersed, and sometimes she was pulled away.
“Senior, we’re here.”
After some time, Jian Yichen patted Jian Ai’s arm and called out softly.
Jian Ai came back to her senses and quickly got out of the bus behind Jian Yichen.
A crisscrossed overpass stood in front of her. Jian Ai remembered that this bridge was called the Yanshan Overpass. It was located in the West City District of the capital.
After waiting by the road for a while, a middle-aged man with glasses picked them up.
According to Teacher Li, the capital arranged the accommodation arrangements. All the participating students and the teachers leading the team were staying in the same hotel.
The hotel’s standard was naturally not too high. It was just an ordinary motel.
When they arrived, the front desk, which was not considered spacious, was already filled with people. Most of them were students about Jian Ai’s age. They were all contestants who had arrived in the capital today.
Jian Yichen casually scanned the hotel environment and frowned in disdain. Although he said nothing, his expression was enough to explain everything.
As Jian Changsheng’s son, he had never stayed in such a simple motel.
“The environment is a little bad. Make do with it,” Jian Ai suddenly whispered.
Jian Yichen pursed his thin lips and nodded at Jian Ai.
After queuing for more than half an hour, they finally checked in. Fortunately, they each had a room. This way, even if the space was not big, they would be more at ease.
“Go back to your room and rest first. I’ll call you when it’s time for lunch,” Teacher Li handed the room keys to the two of them and said.
The room was indeed small, and there was an indescribable strange smell floating in the room. Fortunately, the bed looked clean. The sound of the exhaust system came from outside the window, and it seemed there was a restaurant downstairs.
She opened the suitcase. There was not much space in this narrow space, so Jian Ai didn’t plan to tidy up.
