I wonder what kind of illness this woman named Qiu Jie has?
Zhou Can thought that if he could cure her leg disease, perhaps he could help her regain her confidence and no longer be pessimistic and weary of the world.
"Mr. Li..."
"Calling me Mr. Li feels so awkward, can't you just call me Brother Lao?" Under the stimulation of alcohol, Li Lao's face was flushed red, but his eyes were no longer as lost.
Many people become confused after getting drunk.
But Li Lao was the opposite; after drinking, he became more lucid.
This reminded Zhou Can of Li Bai's "While all men are drunk, I alone am sober." Li Bai was often known to be stone drunk, and although everyone knew him as the Immortal Poet, they didn't know that he was famous as a 'drunken devil'.
In many ways, Li Lao shared many similarities with Li Bai.
Both possessed dazzling talents.
Both harbored their own inner melancholy and unfulfilled ambitions.
It seemed they even shared the same fondness for alcohol.
