The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Since Daiyu came to Suzhou, she has been going to visit Jia Min's grave every three to five days. For the first time, Baochai coyly mentioned that she wanted to go with her because of her own concerns. She politely declined, Baochai pressed the matter down, and after a long time, the two of them were so happy and happy, gradually they almost forgot about that thought, never thought that now Daiyu would speak up on her own initiative Go with the same sentence, Baochai was startled when he heard the words, stared at Daiyu repeatedly, laughed and said: "It's such a cold day, why do you think of going out?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to go and have a look, and by the way, let my mother know."

Baochai's heart was pounding. Daiyu saw that she didn't answer for a long time, so she pulled her sleeve and said, "Didn't you still think about it before, and you want to go with me to worship mother? Why don't you answer now?" ?”

Baochai said slowly, "Didn't you...not be willing?"

Daiyu didn't answer, but just lowered her head, stretched out her hand, and took Baochai's hand.

The two of them have held hands countless times since they were young, and they are very familiar with each other. Once when Daiyu made trouble with Baochai, she insisted on closing her eyes to touch which pair of Daiyu's hands. Baochai only met her. Daiyu's fingertips held her in her arms without hesitation.

However, even though the relationship between the two has become as natural as breathing and drinking water, Baochai was still excited by this light touch, and gave birth to a faint sweetness. She held Daiyu's hand behind her back, and said word by word: "Worshiping your mother... what happens after that?" Every time I said a word, my heart seemed to jump out. I was apprehensive and terrified, but there were still many unspeakable and secret expectations.

What they wanted at first was the life they have now, but after they really got it, they were never satisfied with this kind of life, such a hidden, secretive, nameless life.

Baochai knew what she wanted, and wanted to go to the grave of her sweetheart's mother in person, burn a stick of incense, kowtow three times, call her mother, and then tell her that she would take good care of Daiyu, please rest assured.

But Baochai also knew clearly that he did not dare. Going to the grave is a threshold, and stepping over it is the beginning of a new pursuit, and the new pursuit is nothing more than status. For the Xue family's status, for the Lin family's status The name of the family, as well as the name of the Jia family.

Baochai didn't dare to risk Daiyu and her own future. They had already got such a wonderful life, and they couldn't give up easily for a mere illusory status.

Daiyu kept looking at Baochai, and she noticed every change in Baochai's face.

When Baochai was about to raise her head to speak, she went straight forward, hugged Baochai, tiptoed slightly, and planted a soft kiss on her lips like spring rain.

Daiyu has never been very proactive.An occasional kiss is also gentle and delicate, the tip of the tongue lightly licks the gap between the teeth, gently stretches it into Baochai's mouth, and rolls it slowly, Baochai's heart immediately feels like a spring tide, crisp and numb, and his whole body feels like taking a bath Like the spring breeze, there is an indescribable commotion in the warmth.

Unconsciously, Baochai hugged Daiyu, kissed her back, and sucked greedily.The sweetness that has been kissed thousands of times without dispersing the slightest flowed down the tip of the tongue, poured into the heart viscously, and became wave after wave of heat, which made Baochai tremble all over, and when he was about to enter again, But was pushed away by Daiyu again.

Daiyu looked at her and said: "You always feel that you have experienced two lifetimes, you can see through everything, and you can do anything, but in my opinion, you are not as good-minded as I am."

Baochai smiled wryly and said, "If you just ask me to confess to my brother and mother, then it doesn't matter much. What I worry about is precisely your father's side—how can he stand it with such a body and such a temper?" Such news?"

Daiyu said: "He has been recuperating in recent years, and his health is much better. He is not afraid of being angry with me. The only thing I am afraid of is that he will deal with you." In the world, it is easy to deal with the Xue family who has lost their backing.

Baochai sighed, "If you know that, why should you say such a thing?"

Daiyu said slowly: "However, if we continue like this, if we still do nothing, I'm afraid we will be doomed in the end."

Baochai frowned, and said angrily, "What nonsense have you been talking about all day long!"

Daiyu said: "You know in your heart that I am not talking nonsense. Yesterday Baoyu was interrogated by the servants of your family. Uncle and aunt wanted to move their family back to the south and live with Baoyu in office. Aunt also went back to Jinling It’s just that Brother Xue wants to study, so he put it aside for now. When he finishes reading, he will probably have to move. No matter which of these two places comes, our good days are over. If we accidentally call They found the trace, I'm afraid they may not even have a day to get along with each other."

Baochai was silent.

Daiyu said: "So what I'm thinking is, instead of waiting for them to find out and take advantage of us, it's better... let's tell them first? - Don't worry, I just think so. What's the matter? I didn't think about it, but even so, I want to take you to my mother's grave and offer a stick of incense to her. If we can't be together in the end, this is probably the only time you will see my family."

Baochai heard her speak sadly, hugged her tightly and said, "Don't do anything stupid. If there is no leak and the matter is revealed, I will take you out to sea by boat at worst! It is better for us to be female pirates together than to be here. Much happier."

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's not as scary as what you said. The reason I'm talking about this now is also because I think...if we confess to our family now, it may not be impossible for them to understand."

Baochai blinked and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

Liu Xianglian hasn't seen Baoyu for three days.

The food was still delivered as usual, but it was originally full of dishes, but now it has been reduced to four dishes of two meat and two vegetables, and it was getting colder and colder when it was delivered; I wish I could split the room in half for ventilation; Mingyan treated him more and more perfunctorily. He used to flatter him with a few words, but these days he is almost indifferent. Liu Xianglian asked him ten questions before he answered. One sentence.

Liu Xianglian felt that there must be some weirdness in this, but there were many servants coming and going near the study, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only count the hours, and finally stayed up all night.

Liu Xianglian touched the "Pin Hua Treasure Mirror" that she had read by heart by heart, snorted angrily, and lay down on the bed, thinking about going to bed early, but couldn't fall asleep anyway.

After tossing and turning for a few times, I suddenly heard the sound of the door opening outside, and suddenly lost all sleepiness, turned sideways, and pricked up my ears to hear where the people outside were going.

Not long after, Liu Xianglian heard that someone was going to the study, turned sideways, and lay on the side of the bed, her eyes opened a slit, and she saw that Baoyu must have been drunk, and she came in drunk and drowsy. She fell on the bed as soon as she entered, Liu Xianglian pushed him hastily, and was about to drive him out, but she stopped when she thought about it, lightly stroked Baoyu's arm, and said with a pinch of voice: "Baoyu, you... What have you been doing these days?"

Baoyu looked at him with half-opened eyes, smiled silly, and said, "Don't you know what I'm doing?"

Liu Xianglian frowned and said with a smile: "How would I know?"

Baoyu probably drank too much wine, half-closed his eyes, hummed for a while, and then smiled inarticulately: "I bought a young man recently, and when the limelight passes, I will show it to you."
