"Niu harbors a deep grudge against me, it's a matter between him and I. If anyone should apologize, it should be Niu, not you, Li..."
"Li, you are like a fresh lotus out of water, with an open and honest personality, which I find admirable..."
As he spoke, Lu Wufei smiled and pointed out towards the snowy landscape, "Look, my friend, on such a snowy day, to sit in a lakeside pavilion and share a drink with a close companion is a real pleasure. Let's not spoil the mood with displeasure..."
At Lu Wufei's compliments, Li Qinge laughed and replied without pretense, "Lu, you flatter me. I feel a sense of familiarity upon meeting you too..."
"However, regardless, it was rude of us from Kunlun, I must apologize..."
"Lu, I find your idea of enjoying a drink on this snowy day quite appealing. Let's follow your lead and not bring up anything unpleasant..."
With that, Li Qinge raised her wine cup to meet the one of Lu's across the gap, and they drained their cups.
