Why!
Sigh! Sigh!
...
Lin Daiyu had to ask someone to bring two earplugs to plug her ears. The lady was really bored. Ever since she heard the news that her father was coming to the capital, she had lost her appetite and sighed all day long.
What could her father, a grown man, possibly do on the road?
But the wife remained silent, silently sighing inwardly.
Looking at her 'considerate' wife beside her, Lin Daiyu couldn't bring herself to utter a word of annoyance.
Ahhh, where did she find such a wonderful wife? Even when she's cursing or annoyed, she only shouts it out in her heart...
Waaah, her kind wife is so boring, and she even complains that she's noisy?
Lin Daiyu glanced at the earplugs the maid had brought and silently put them away. "Madam, are you going out for a stroll?"
"Play?"
Shen Ajiao stood up excitedly, but the thought of Lin Ruhai coming dampened her spirits.
"I don't want to go."
Lin Daiyu was somewhat surprised. This person wasn't even going out to play? He must be really feeling unwell.
Thinking back to what we talked about after class today,
"Miss Cao and Miss Xiao are boating on Cuiwei Lake tonight. Would you like to go, Madam?"
A boat trip on the lake? She doesn't even have an ancient boat for a lake trip yet, go away!
[At worst, when Lin Ruhai arrives, he can ask her where the money went, and she can just say she spent it all!]
Not enough money, really not enough money...
[So annoying!]
Lin Daiyu: That's it? That's it?
How big of a deal is it?
I'd like to double my allowance.
The next second,
Wow, this crab roe bun looks delicious! Let me try one!
[I've never tried this wasabi jelly before, I'll have one!]
This water chestnut cake looks delicious, I'll have one!
...
Lin Daiyu put her hand to her forehead. She was overthinking it. Madam was a person who would feel sad.
If so, let's go shopping!
But his wife is truly extraordinary; I don't know how she managed to eat so much food.
"Go tell your wife to eat less; she'll have her favorite lamb hot pot for dinner."
Shen Ajiao had no choice but to give up and decide to eat the rest next time she went out.
As dusk fell, lanterns began to light up the streets, and in the distance, the surface of Cuiwei Lake was dotted with lights, sparkling like rosy clouds, creating a scene resembling a painting.
I wanted to compose a poem for this scene, but alas, I'm uncultured; all I can do is utter a single "Holy crap!"
Holy crap, this is so good!
No wonder everyone wants to come here to enjoy the lake.
Lin Daiyu: Madam, have you been learning nothing at all lately?
Shen Ajiao noticed that the people walking together on the street to go boating on the lake all carried lanterns of various shapes and sizes, which explained why the young ladies were fighting over a lantern!
She was about to buy a pretty lantern to use while boating on the lake when she heard a very strange-sounding word next to her.
"Brother Ai, this hairpin is so pretty, please buy me one."
Love? Two?
I love my older brother~ my second older brother~
Xiangyun, is that you?
Lin Daiyu: Did Madam burn her tongue with the crab roe bun?
As I walked forward, I saw a familiar figure at a stall ahead—it was Baoyu.
Why did he come out?
My second uncle passed away just over a month ago, right?
And who is that kind, cute, and charming little girl next to her?
Lin Daiyu didn't want to confront Baoyu, so she quickly pulled Shen Ajiao back, saying, "Madam, let's go quickly, or it will be too late."
Shi Xiangyun paused, holding the hairpin in her hand, and looked around. Jia Baoyu held Shi Xiangyun's hand and asked, "Why does it feel a little cold?"
"Let me warm you up." He said, wrapping his hands around Shi Xiangyun's hands and breathing on them to warm them.
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "Brother Baoyu~"
Seeing Shi Xiangyun's shy eyes, her innocent and adorable demeanor, and her charmingly naive appearance, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Xiangyun, my little sister~"
"Brother Baoyu~"
…
When Shen Ajiao turned around from a distance, oh my god, she couldn't bear to look! The two of them were gazing at each other with deep affection, completely oblivious to everyone else...
My eyes are going blind!
Lin Daiyu looked over and saw nothing there. Hadn't they left?
She didn't care about Jia Baoyu's affairs; she'd rather enjoy a boat trip on the lake.
Shen Ajiao originally thought she wouldn't run into Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun while boating on the lake, but as soon as she boarded the boat, she saw a dazzling color on the boat next to her...
Shen Ajiao thought, "I saw an old man on the subway looking at his phone. Damn it, doesn't he have a heart?"
His father had just passed away, and he's already trying to pick up girls.
If Jia Zheng knew this in the afterlife, he would be able to ask for leave to take him down with him.
Just as she sat down, she heard Xianyan Bao exclaim with concern and surprise, "Xiangyun, what happened to your hand?"
"It was I who embroidered it..."
[No, stop! Xiangyun, use your brain! That conspicuous bag will expose everything you say and do, making you unnecessarily annoying. You hurt your hand, do you think he's worried about your embroidery?]
No! He thinks he's superior and that everyone serves him!
He doesn't care about you; he just wants to take advantage of you.
"Ha, it's nothing, just an accident." Xiangyun quickly shut up what she was about to say, glancing around cautiously with some fear.
who?
Who is speaking?
To get a bargain?
Did Brother Bao take advantage of me?
Xiangyun immediately pulled her hand away from Baoyu's and looked around uncomfortably, but all she could see were boats.
Was she just imagining things?
"Be careful next time, little sister. It would break my heart if you hurt such a beautiful hand."
【Would I feel sorry for you? Hehe~】
If you fucking care about her, then help her! If you care about her, then don't ask her to embroider for you!
[Not only is she ugly, but she also has unrealistic expectations!]
