Chapter 153 "It's different now that I'm with you."

While Li Yansheng was working, Lin Shutang was reading a paper next to him.

Maybe it was because I was too engrossed, or maybe it was because I slept long enough last night and was not sleepy today, so I didn’t take a nap.

In the interval of processing documents, Li Yansheng looked up and saw her sitting on the sofa with her shoes off, drawing on a tablet in her hand with a focused expression.

The little girl was young, but he didn't need to worry too much. Unlike many of her peers who were confused, she always had a clear idea of ​​what she should do at the moment.

Maybe it has something to do with the environment she grew up in. Most of the time, she knows clearly what she wants.

The phone on the coffee table rang. Lin Shutang glanced at the caller ID and saw it was her mentor.

She stood up and took it: "Teacher."

Then, he casually slipped on his shoes, opened the glass door and went to the balcony.

"Shutang, I've read the paper you sent me. It's very well written. There are just a few places that need revisions. I've already marked the parts and sent them to you. There are also some things that are difficult to discuss over the phone. If you have time, come to my office and I'll talk to you in person."

Lin Shutang casually placed his hand on the fence, his pink fingertips unconsciously scratching a small spot on it that had bulged due to an air bubble during construction: "Okay."

…

When Lin Shutang hung up the phone and came out, Li Yansheng looked up.

In the past, the girl would have noticed and looked back at him. But not today. After finishing her call, she looked down at her phone, seemingly lost in thought. It was clear she wasn't in her usual mood.

When Li Yansheng was getting ready to get off work, it was around five, almost six.

Lin Shutang glanced at his phone and saw that it was much earlier than before, so he asked, "Are you okay today?"

Li Yansheng: "Well, I'll take you to dinner."

"Okay." Lin Shutang stood up and packed his things.

Li Yansheng seemed to always pay more attention to personal privacy. The restaurant he chose today was also relatively secluded. When he arrived at the door, someone came out to greet him.

He must have ordered something in advance. After entering the private room and sitting down, the waiter asked if he wanted any food.

Li Yansheng glanced at the door, then at the time, and replied, "Okay."

After saying that, he turned his head and asked Lin Shutang: "Is there anything you want to drink?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter handed the tablet to Lin Shutang and spoke in Mandarin: "Miss, these are the more popular drinks in our store. You can take a look."

Lin Shutang took it and scrolled through it. There were dozens of cold drinks alone. There were too many things to choose from, so he handed the tablet back to Li Yansheng: "You order, I can't choose."

Li Yansheng must be a regular here. He didn't even glance at it after taking it. He handed the tablet back to the waiter and said directly, "A dozen freshly squeezed green grapes."

"Yes, sir."

The courteous and thoughtful service throughout the meal reminded Lin Shutang of his unpleasant dining experience when he secretly came to Hong Kong City last time. Compared with the treatment this time, it was simply unbearable.

She placed her hands on her cheeks and couldn't help but sigh, "Damn capital! Is this what money makes the world go round?"

Li Yansheng had previously checked Lin Shutang's whereabouts over the past few days and guessed that she was probably talking about what happened during those days. He smiled and said, "You are the same now."

"Hmm?" Lin Shutang was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Well, it's different now that I'm with you."

Listening to her somewhat off-key joke, Li Yansheng didn't elaborate. After all, those things would only count if they were truly given to her.
