"Young man, very impressive!" Elder Gu laughed and nodded, then looked up at Li Changlin, "Let's continue. My eighth variation is: 'Clouds Grow Long, grow long, they grow and grow and then dissipate.'"
If Li Changlin had yet to come up with the matching couplet, this change to the opening couplet would indeed be incredible, as it already included the combination of three polysemous words.
However, since he had the matching couplet as a foundation, this variation naturally posed no difficulty for him.
Soon, Li Changlin replied with a smile, "Elder Gu, my matching couplet is: 'Tides rise at dawn, at dawn, they rise and rise and then ebb away.'"
"Too awesome, my bro."
"So impressive, I love you, God of Men."
"Such talent, oh my! Not only is the God of Men handsome, but he's also so knowledgeable and well-learned, surely from some prestigious literary family."
"If I could be his girlfriend, that would be wonderful, it's just a pity…"
