Chapter 127 The flower language of peony is to go with the flow
Lin Shutang knew that the bottom row had the lowest degree, and Li Yansheng basically never touched this row.
As she picked out the wine, Li Yansheng followed her with his eyes. He saw her walking back and forth in front of the row of bottles, occasionally taking out a bottle to glance at it, looking very conflicted. Li Yansheng could tell that the little girl had something on her mind, which was why he agreed to let her drink again tonight.
About half an hour later, after drinking less than two cups, Lin Shutang felt a little confused, and the words in his mind were not coherent.
Li Yansheng lit a cigarette in the ashtray beside him. Seeing her blushing cheeks, he smiled and said, "You've drunk quite a bit, so why are you still this drunk?"
Lin Shutang heard him teasing him and subconsciously replied, "Of course, it can't compare to Boss Li's huge amount."
After saying that, she stood up, walked behind him, bent down to lean on his shoulder, and circled his chest with her fingers: "How many women did you drink with to become like this?"
Her face was very close to his, and Li Yansheng was afraid of choking her, so he put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
During this process, he kept holding her naughty little hand.
Then, he turned his head to look at the person over his shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Shutang was a coward who was emboldened by alcohol. Now he dared to say anything: "Isn't it?"
Li Yansheng: "I think I've been too indulgent with you lately, causing you to become more and more careless with your words."
He said this with a smile in his eyes, not showing any sign of anger, but rather a bit of indulgence as if the little girl he raised had started to reveal her true thoughts.
Lin Shutang didn't notice the look in his eyes and stood up without refuting his words. He was indeed good to her, so good that she was worried that she would not be able to let him go in the future.
There was a long silence in the air. Lin Shutang looked at the peonies on the table and asked, "Do you know the meaning of the peony flower?"
Li Yansheng didn't say anything.
Lin Shutang said to himself, "It's about living in harmony with the world. Coming is accidental, leaving is inevitable. Do your best, accept gains calmly, and lose calmly. Strive for peace and let nature take its course."
Li Yansheng stood up, put his arm around her waist, and said, "You're drunk."
His eyes were too gentle, and Lin Shutang didn't dare to meet his gaze. She was silent for a moment, then came out of his arms and looked at the table.
Under the warm yellow candlelight, the peony flowers looked even more mysterious. She picked up the phone on the table and clicked on Falling Rain.
It was a rather sad song, and playing it in this kind of atmosphere was actually a bit inappropriate. However, Li Yansheng didn't stop her and just let her go.
The next second, Lin Shutang said, "Dancing with me."
Li Yansheng didn't refuse and put his arms around her waist.
The girl probably hadn't learned ballroom dancing formally, so her movements were a bit unstructured. But she wasn't ugly at all, and instead had a wild, free beauty.
After the dance, Li Yansheng put his arms around Lin Shutang's waist from behind, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Not happy."
He said it in a positive tone.
Lin Shutang thought of something that had been buried in his heart recently, raised his head, and then said stubbornly: "No."
Li Yansheng had no intention of letting it go. He had noticed her unusual behavior over the past two days, and it was obvious that she was worried.
In Li Yansheng's opinion, if there is a problem, it must be solved immediately, rather than leaving it alone and waiting for the problem to become bigger and difficult to solve.
He lowered his head, kissed her earlobe lightly, and said in a coaxing tone: "Tell me why you are unhappy."
Lin Shutang tilted his head and shrank because of her action, but did not say anything.
