Beating his chest and stamping his feet in a tirade, of course, made the party involved, Xiang Wenxin, feel more at ease and better perceive the sincerity of Li Tanglu; that much was common social knowledge.
After the scolding, Li Tanglu hurriedly poured tea for both.
Liu Zhizhong had hastened to offer to pour it himself, but Li Tanglu refused, saying it was his host duty and also an apology tea, so he ought to pour it.
So, Liu Zhizhong, not wishing to argue any further, decided to enjoy the gesture while it lasted!
Afterward, Li Tanglu asked Xiang Wenxin if he could smoke.
Xiang Wenxin said, "Go ahead and smoke; I don't mind."
So Li Tanglu offered Liu Zhizhong a good cigarette, lit it for him, and began smoking himself.
Truth be told, at that moment, Li Tanglu could only see Xiang Wenxin wearing sunglasses, but he could still sense the charm of the "first goddess of Southern Country" described by Liu Zhizhong; it was indeed alluring!
