Turning to the first page, there is a preface written by Qi Liaosheng. Looking at the back, there are the words "Collected by the National Central Library".
"This is Qi's version of "A Dream of Red Mansions". It was photocopied by my great-great-grandfather when he was in the Nanjing Library. Only three or four copies exist."
Li Zongyu introduced, watching her lower her head and read the contents of the book.
Turning over the pages of the book, the crispy yellow pages inside could not resist the fragrance of the poems inside.
She also had a feeling similar to Lin Daiyu's when she read "The Romance of the West Chamber" for the first time. After reading it, she just felt that her mouth was filled with fragrance and her thinking was refreshing, as if she had opened up a new realm.
Li Zongyu watched her lowering her head to read a book, and the way her long hair fluttered when the breeze blew, he couldn't help but think of the ladies of the ancient times.
And he was like a scholar who sneaked into the back garden.
"If I share the same tent with your passionate young lady, why would I want you to fold the quilt and make the bed?"
In "The Romance of the West Chamber", Zhang Sheng once said this sentence, and Jia Baoyu also said this sentence to Lin Daiyu.
And now, he just wants to say this to her!
He has played with so many women, but this is the first time he has seen such a classical lady, like she walked out of a painting, with her clothes flowing in the wind!
Moreover, it’s not just that she looks like a well-dressed lady on the outside, but also on the inside!
Although it wasn't great at first glance, the more I watched it, the more I fell in love with it.
Especially her pair of black eyes, like a cold pool, can suck a person's soul in with just one look!
More importantly, she is the woman that Leng Yunlin likes.
Moreover, he also showed a certain resistance to his overtures.
Just these few conditions made him look at her differently.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but move towards her.
Luo Qingxue, who was concentrating on reading, didn't notice.
She has always been fascinated by "Dream of Red Mansions", one of the four great classics. She studied classical literature and wrote her graduation thesis in college on "Dream of Red Mansions".
She was flipping through the pages of the book carefully, but she didn't know that Li Zongyu was gradually approaching, rubbing against her sofa, and then slowly leaning against her body.
When his hand slowly touched her waist, Luo Qingxue finally reacted. Her first reaction was to avoid it!
Unexpectedly, Li Zongyu grabbed her waist and stopped her from struggling away.
Then, his lips, smelling of fruit wine, gradually came closer.
"Miss Luo, I have admired you for a long time. Why don't you be my girlfriend?"
Luo Qingxue opened her mouth and was about to refuse. At this time, the waiter's voice came from the stairs: "This way, please."
Passing the corner of the stairs, a tall figure appeared, who happened to be Leng Yunting!
