When Mr. Li visited Jing City, he returned with a young girl by his side.
<...Chapter 89 His Lounge
Li Yansheng put his hand under the hem of her shirt and stroked along the groove of her back. His voice was a little deep: "It's half true and half false. But this is due to human nature, not the fault of the international students."
Lin Shutang blushed slightly: "Do you have any?"
Li Yansheng looked at her without saying anything.
Lin Shutang had originally brought up this topic as a joke, but now, seeing Li Yansheng's hesitation in answering, he subconsciously didn't want to hear his answer.
After a while, Li Yansheng removed his hand from her back and placed it on the back of her head. The hair in his palm was soft and delicate. He gently pulled her closer, pecked her lips lightly, and then asked, "Do you feel it?"
His tone was calm, yet gentle. Such a short sentence had a bewitching flavor.
"How do I know if you have it or not?" Lin Shutang turned his head away with an evasive look, not wanting to look at that handsome face, and complained in his heart that he was an old fox.
When she spoke, there was a hint of unnatural evasion in her tone. Li Yansheng looked at the girl in front of him with tenderness in his eyes.
Lin Shutang felt as if someone was staring at him, and his face felt hot. She appeared calm as she emerged from his embrace and sat down on the chair beside him.
Seeing her lower her head and pick at the bowl, Li Yansheng stopped teasing her: "Eat."
After dinner, Li Yansheng took the thermos cup out of the canvas bag. Inside was the Chinese medicine that Aunt Lu had packed for Lin Shutang before leaving. She had originally placed the cup in the canvas bag and hadn't planned on taking it out. She figured that as long as Li Yansheng didn't notice, she wouldn't have to drink it today. Seeing Li Yansheng taking the bag, she wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
He opened the cup and poured a little water into his hand to test the temperature. After confirming that it was still warm, he placed the cup in front of her.
Lin Shutang looked painful, but he didn't dare to say that he didn't want to drink anymore.
Five minutes had passed since he finished taking the medicine. Li Yansheng had already packed his lunchbox and gone to the lounge. Lin Shutang walked in with the cup and saw him standing at the sink, washing his hands in just his shirt, the sleeves tucked up at his forearms.
Noticing her gaze, Li Yansheng tilted his head and reminded her, "If you want to rest, sleep here for a while."
After saying that, he took a tissue to wipe the water off his hands, walked to the bed, picked up the air conditioner remote control on the bedside table and adjusted the temperature.
Whenever this happened, Lin Shutang would think. Yuanyuan mentioned the complicated family situation of the Li family, and whether this was partly responsible for his thoughtfulness. During his formative years, he had to constantly pay attention to the expressions of the elders around him, which honed his ability to read their expressions and be attentive to everything.
Lin Shutang walked up to him and asked, "Aren't you going to take a rest?"
Li Yansheng: "You want me to accompany you?"
Lin Shutang lay down on the bed, looked at the dark circles under his eyes from not getting enough rest, and asked, "Is this okay?"
Hearing this, Li Yansheng stopped taking his coat and lay down beside her.
Originally, Lin Shutang hadn't felt sleepy at all, but after lying down, he began to feel a bit sleepy when he smelled the familiar scent of the person next to him. His eyelids gradually grew heavy, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
When he woke up, Li Yansheng was no longer by his side. Lin Shutang glanced at his phone screen and saw it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
She walked out of the lounge and saw someone outside looking for Li Yansheng to report on work.
Seeing that the person reporting turned his gaze to behind him, Li Yansheng turned around and saw her standing at the door of the lounge, somewhat at a loss.
He turned to the person reporting, "You go down first!"
The girl at the door was still in the same posture as before. She must have just woken up. Her face was slightly red and she looked a little unconscious, with a confused look in her eyes.
Li Yansheng waved towards Lin Shutang, signaling her to come over. After Lin Shutang approached, she asked, "Am I disturbing you while you're working?"
Li Yansheng did not answer this, but just raised his hand to feel the temperature of her face.
