After replying, Qiao Nian leaned against the backseat and closed her eyes to rest.
Liang Conglin and Du Mingwei, who were in front, saw through the rearview mirror that the girl had lowered her baseball cap. She had earphones on and her hand was on her chest. She seemed to be asleep.
They looked at each other and naturally lowered their voices. They tried to talk as quietly as possible as they talked on their phones.
Half an hour later.
They arrived at the Intercontinental Hotel and checked in.
The weather in Rao City was better than in Beijing. The sandstorm in Beijing was strong, and the weather in September was exceptionally hot.
In contrast, the weather in Rao City was much milder.
It was close to noon, and the sun was bright but not excessively hot.
Liang Conglin went to settle the check-in procedures while Qiao Nian and Du Mingwei waited for him in the lobby.
