The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Liu Xianglian clenched her fist, then let it go, and said calmly: "I said earlier, the relationship between me and you is just an ordinary friendship, you don't need to use these to test me."

Baoyu squinted at him and said with a smile: "Why not try? I bought a servant, why is it related to you?"

Liu Xianglian frowned and said, "It's fine, it's so late, you should go to sleep."

Baoyu didn't wait for him to say, she had already found a comfortable position by herself, so she just lay still, Liu Xianglian said: "What are you doing sleeping in this room?"

Baoyu said vaguely: "I came back so late, and if I went in again, I would inevitably wake up the two of them. Besides, when the people outside saw me coming in here, they thought I was placed in the study, and even the lights were turned off. Wouldn't it be suspicious to go out?"

After hearing what he said, Liu Xianglian felt helpless, so she pushed him and said, "Then move inside, don't hinder me."

Baoyu didn't shy away from seeing him, looked at him with half-opened eyes, and slowly moved inside. Seeing that he didn't know how to cover him with a quilt, Liu Xianglian sighed in her heart and tucked the quilt for him, Baoyu still said vaguely : "You go to bed earlier too."

Liu Xianglian just replied indiscriminately, went to the wall to set up several braziers, blew out the lamps, and walked over gropingly.

Baoyu lay facing the head of the bed, so he changed his head, and lay down under the quilt with all his clothes on. The winter night was quiet, and it was time for him to sleep, and Baoyu's breathing was already heavy.Liu Xianglian lay on the bed, counting Baoyu's breathing carefully. Although her eyes were closed, her heart became more and more irritable.

He thought that Baoyu must have tried to test him on purpose, that's why he acted like this these days. However, if a person like Baoyu really tried to test him on purpose, how could he sleep so soundly at this time?Moreover, if a person like Baoyu really has himself in his heart, how can he say such words as "buying a servant" and "singing a song" to him without changing his face?

Liu Xianglian felt that she hadn't seen her for a long time, and that Baoyu seemed to have changed a lot. When they first met, he was injured, and his heart was in a state of confusion, so he didn't think about the joints here carefully. The person I remember is much more stable and pragmatic.

It turned out to be a bit of a serious official.

Liu Xianglian thought of her current identity, covered her chest, and let out a long sigh.

When the new year is approaching, the sky is fluffy and there is fine snow.Because of the cold weather and banditry, there were not many pedestrians on the road.

Baochai got on the car and took off the big sable collar and the scarlet flower cloak, revealing an autumn-colored cotton skirt inside. Ying'er reached out to take the clothes for her, only to hear Baochai say: "When you take it Be careful, this cloak is delicate, and there will be marks when it is folded a little." With even more gentle hands, he carefully packed the cloak into the satin bundle.

Zijuan waited for Baochai to sit down slowly holding her clothes, and then asked Daiyu, "Have you left?"

Daiyu pointed at Baochai with a smile and said, "Don't ask me about this, but ask her. I don't care. I'm afraid we won't arrange her well. We're halfway there, and she says she'll come back and change her clothes."

Baochai blushed, ignored Daiyu, and said to Zijuan, "Do you think I look good?"

Zijuan laughed and said: "Miss Bao has been asking me this question all morning. According to me, Miss Bao doesn't have to be so trembling. It will take a long time to go in the future."

When Baochai heard that she was joking, her face became more and more embarrassed, she lowered her head and said, "If that's the case, let's go."

Zijuan smiled and said, "Actually, we won't have time if we wait any longer——Miss Bao, really don't want to change clothes anymore?"

Baochai stomped her feet and said, "Your master is narrow-minded, and you are making trouble too! Go as soon as you go, why delay?"

Zijuan glanced at her with a smile, and lightly knocked on the car door three times. When the coachman outside heard it, he flicked his whip, and the car started rolling, but Baochai felt uneasy again, so she asked Yinger to take out the mirror and look at it several times, asking Daiyu said, "Is the makeup too bright?"

It was rare for Daiyu to see her like this, she covered her mouth and smiled and said, "I only thought that you had learned to be invulnerable to swords and guns like those vagrant children, and it turned out that you were so ashamed."

Baochai shot her a sideways look, and said, "When you go out to meet your elders, don't you want to dress up more carefully? You're the talker."

She also asked Yinger to paint her eyebrows again, Daiyu said: "Let me do it, just ask Yinger to hold the mirror." She reached out to take the eyebrow pencil, and before she started to draw, she just looked at it carefully—— Baochai has a pair of beautiful eyebrows that are spotless and emerald, her natural muscles and bones are smooth, plump and fair, she does not need to put on makeup, she is already radiant, and even though her head is lowered, her snow-white and flawless neck is like a lotus flower Standing tall and graceful, that kind of elegant style cannot be described in words. Daiyu laughed even more happily without realizing it. , It really looks like a snowman, and it was piled up by the fine snow in the south of the Yangtze River."

Baochai said strangely: "My surname is Xue, what has it to do with this snow?" Fu took a selfie in the mirror again, even Yinger couldn't see it, and said with a smile: "Miss is dressed very well today, let's take a picture again It can’t be more beautiful if you take photos.”

After Baochai heard this, she put down the mirror for a while, then picked it up again, stared at her cheek for a while, and then asked Daiyu, "Is the rouge thickened here?"

Daiyu stretched out her hand to pinch her cheek, and said, "This is not the right time!"

Baochai glared at her, but Daiyu just pursed her lips and smiled at Baochai. Seeing Daiyu's appearance, Baochai couldn't help laughing, and said again, "It's me."

Daiyu moved to sit next to her, hugged her neck from the side and said, "You're not pretending, you just... like me so much, so even if you accompany me to mother's grave, you have to dress up for half a day." The few words in the middle were extremely low, but Baochai listened to every word, and stretched out his hand to pinch Daiyu, saying: "You are used to putting gold on your face!"

Daiyu pretended to be angry and said: "You have the ability, you say you don't like me, say it to my face."

Baochai blushed, and said, "Zicuckoo and Yinger are still here. Look at what you look like."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, "What about Zicuckoo and Yinger, they have already left."

Looking around, Baochai saw that only Daiyu and herself were left in the car, and said in surprise, "Why did they go out? It's very cold outside, don't freeze."

Daiyu leaned on her shoulder and said with a smile, "You are so confused! There is a car behind."

Baochai felt that she had lost her composure, and said with a sneer, "I forgot." Then she turned sideways and said, "Dai'er, have you really... thought it through?"

Daiyu let go of her hand when she heard this question again, and said seriously: "I've made up my mind, I just want to ask you, are you willing to come with me?"

Baochai bowed her head and said, "My heart, don't you know? I'm afraid that if it doesn't work out, I'll leave it alone, you..." Before she finished speaking, Daiyu tapped her lips with a finger. When she looked up, she saw Daiyu looked at herself tenderly, and smiled softly: "You always have too many scruples. In fact, think about it carefully, a lifetime is only a few tens of years, even if you can't completely do what you want, you can't always be like us now. What's the point of living a life of concealment and fear? Besides, we don't have no way out. If it doesn't work out, it's amazing that you and I will wander around the world. I don't believe that the world is so big that it can't accommodate the two of us. You are a person who has experienced two lives, and you are older than me, don't you understand all these truths?"

Baochai stared blankly at her, and Daiyu reached out to press her palms together. Their fingertips were so warm that once they touched, they would never part again.

Baochai gradually laughed, and said, "After all, she is Lin Daiyu from Gusu, and she is different from other women in the world."

Daiyu snorted, "Similar to other women, don't you like it?"

Baochai kissed her gently on her hand and said, "I like it. I like everything about you."
